fox loves meat

Chapter 28 Building the Temple
A big black fox jumped up from behind Fat Ball!A black shadow flashed across the air with his vigorous figure, and the moment his forefoot hit the ground, a black mist rolled up——

A delicate girl in black clothes came out of the black mist, but she didn't put back her tail.

She looked at Fat Qiuer who was fleeing in front of her, and said coldly: "Fat Qiuer, is this how you accompany me to practice?"

Fat Qiu'er got behind Hua Sanduo's trouser legs, and replied nervously: "Boss! Please spare me! I'm timid! I can't stand being scared!"

Hua Sanduo immediately knew that this was An Qingyu practicing illusion with the fat ball again...

An Qingyu wanted to continue to force Fat Qiu'er, when she saw Shen Yulang standing on one side.

"Hey? Why are you here?"

Although Shen Yulang was very upset, he was still a little embarrassed towards An Qingyu, and replied, "I've brought you a gift!"

——Oh... Master Shen has recovered his memory.

An Qingyu's eyes drifted to Fat Qiu'er, Fat Qiu'er understood, and immediately crawled over to open the two boxes——

One box contains real gold, silver, pearls and jade, and the other contains ginseng, ganoderma and rare herbs.

These are all valuables.

With such a large sum of money, he really deserves to be the richest man in Liancheng!
When An Qingyu saw the contents in the box, her expression softened a lot.

"You are too polite. You came here and brought so many things. We haven't spent the thousand gold last time..."

Shen Yulang coughed twice and said, "I didn't give this away for nothing..."

An Qingyu raised her eyebrows, "What? What do you want to do?"

Shen Yulang looked around, there was no place to sit in the courtyard.

He walked to the well where he used to live in a few steps, sat down, and said slowly: "The world is not good, and the world is not peaceful. I just spend money to buy peace of mind."

In the past two years when Shen Yulang was unconscious on the bed, the business of the Shen family has shrunk a lot, and now the contents of these two boxes have used up less than half of his family property.

An Qingyu closed the lid of a box, sat directly on the box, and said lightly, "You get to the point."

Shen Yulang narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, showing his businessman nature, "How about we make a deal?"

"What deal?"

"I will pay you to build a Taoist temple in Xigui Mountain. We will share the money for incense sticks in the future. If you take the big head, I only need three percent."

An Qingyu burst out laughing, "You are the richest man in Liancheng, and your Shen family has shops in almost every state capital, so you still value this incense money?"

Shen Yulang chuckled twice, "You also know that during the two years I've been in a coma, it can be said that I was sitting and eating, and my business was managed by a few shopkeepers, and the income was not great..."

He paused, then said with a smile: "Besides, I have another request."

"Say it straight!"

Shen Yulang rolled his eyes and said, "Because I will also have a share in the Taoist temple from now on, so... if there is any trouble in the future, you have to let my family take refuge in the Taoist temple..."

An Qingyu laughed, "To put it bluntly, don't you just ask me to be your Shen family's thug for seven cents?"

Shen Yulang's expression changed, "Then do you agree or not?"

An Qingyu played with her braids, thinking that Master Shen is indeed a tyrant in the shopping mall, who knows best how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, this disease is just right, and it can be seen that the world is about to fall into chaos...

At that time, the unlucky people will bear the brunt of rich people like them.

This old master Shen is also smart, with An Qingyu's rope, he couldn't survive, so he insisted on tying them together to be grasshoppers.

An Qingyu thought for a moment, gold, silver and jewelry are good things, but for a cultivator, they are really tasteless things.

In comparison, it was the incense in the Taoist temple that made An Qingyu more tempted.

So, An Qingyu replied: "I can only pay a third of the profit, but you have to follow my way to build the Taoist temple."

"Okay!" Master Shen readily agreed.

An Qingyu drew the blueprint of the Taoist temple the next day and handed it over to Master Shen.

Doctor Bai is administering needles to Master Shen, and Master Shen's current body still needs to rely on Yangxue Pills for seven or eight days to fully recover.

Doctor Bai didn't know An Qingyu's identity, and he didn't even look at An Qingyu.

Madam Shen unfolded the drawings for Master Shen——

Shen Yulang took a closer look, and saw that the blueprint included the entire mountain range of Xigui Mountain, and there were four building complexes from west to east, namely Daohe Temple, Wangxi Building, Yuling Lake, and Qiyunju.

Shen Yulang's hands trembled, and the needle on his arm also trembled.

Building a temple on the mountain itself is very expensive, not to mention that it is a group of four buildings.

"Is it too late for me to go back now?"

An Qingyu gave him a charming smile, "Don't worry, I won't let you lose everything. The box of gold, silver and jewelry you gave me has already been moved to Shen's residence for you. It is the first liquidation." funds."

Shen Yulang finally calmed down after hearing this, but his brows did not relax completely.

"I'm afraid that the box of gold, silver and jewelry alone is not enough..." Shen Yulang pointed his hand on the drawing, "This Yuling Lake is easy to say, as long as the nameless lake between the two mountains of Xigui Mountain is cleaned up Clean it up, then repair the steps and corridors, and plant some flowers and trees on both sides..."

He pointed to the west building again, and said: "This building is too tall, fifteen or sixty feet high, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to build, and this Qiyunju, eh?...Why do I look so familiar? "

An Qingyu smiled, "Naturally you will find it familiar, because I drew it after your Shen Mansion, but it's not that big, there are only nine courtyards in total, it can be regarded as a condensed version of Shen Mansion."

Shen Yulang originally couldn't understand why he spent so much money to build a courtyard on Xigui Mountain, but after hearing An Qingyu's explanation, he couldn't help but feel moved——

Yes, of course you can't live in the temple in the future, it would be great if there is another courtyard, not to mention, this courtyard is so similar to your own Shen residence, it must be very friendly to live in ?
So Shen Yulang didn't have any objections. He just pointed to the Daohe Temple and said, "Draw the temple later, don't just draw a fox mark, I will arrange craftsmen later."

An Qingyu curled her lips, "That's not a sign, it's a stone statue of a fox. I think building a big stone statue is better than building a temple. It's more direct and more impactful."

Shen Yulang was paralyzed when he heard the words, "How big do you want to make it?"

An Qingyu raised the corner of her mouth, "At least ten feet, so as to show the insignificance of human beings and the greatness of fox fairies."

This time, not only Shen Yulang trembled, but even Doctor Bai, who administered the needle, trembled too...

Doctor Bai took back the long needle on Shen Yulang's body, put it in the medicine box, said his farewell, and walked out of the room.

Shen Yulang put down his sleeves, and said to Madam Shen: "You go out too, I still need to discuss with her about building a temple, and the dinner will be delivered directly."

Madam Shen went out with a low eyebrow, not forgetting to close the door behind her.

An Qingyu chuckled, "Your wife has improved, she fainted when she first saw me, and now she can stay in front of me for such a long time, tsk tsk tsk..."

Shen Yulang coughed twice, and said in his heart that I married a lady from everyone, so my temperament is naturally the most tactful.

"Does that surnamed Bai know my identity?" An Qingyu asked again.

Shen Yulang shook his head, "You probably don't know, Mr. Bai is more interested in medicine, he doesn't care about anything else."

"Oh... In fact, even if you know it, it's nothing."

Shen Yulang spread the blueprints in front of An Qingyu, and said seriously: "Tell me, what do you want to do? Isn't it over to build a temple, and come up with such things."

An Qingyu leaned back on the chair, swinging her legs up and down, "I'm doing this for the incense."

Shen Yulang looked at her suspiciously, shaking the blueprint in his hand, "In this way, the incense will flourish? You don't even have a temple, just build a fox statue, and you can attract incense?"

Thinking of the huge fox statue, Shen Yulang felt even more headache, "Where can I find such a big stone for you? Even if I find such a big stone, how can I transport it to the mountain? Do you know how much you gave me?" problem?"

An Qingyu's face was full of indifference, "It's fine to use rocks, just flatten the hill near the city gate, and carve it into a fox statue, but the rocks are rough, so I'm sure you can't carve the fine parts. I'll figure it out for you Now, the surface layer can be inlaid with copper siding, and precision casting can be done.”

An Qingyu naturally thought about it long ago, thanks to the memory of the statue of Avalokitesvara in the South China Sea of ​​Putuo Mountain before crossing. The statue of Avalokitesvara is 33 meters high, solemn and elegant, but everyone who sees it is eager to admire it.

The inspiration for Wangxi Tower comes from the Yellow Crane Tower.

An Qingyu thought of some memories of her previous life, and added: "You can build a one-foot-high lotus base under the bronze fox statue, so that it will appear taller."

An Qingyu jumped off the chair, ran to the table to get a brush, dipped it in some ink, then ran back to Shen Yulang, stretched out the pen to add a few strokes on the drawing.

"This mountain must be leveled for me. The bronze statue must be surrounded by a large square. A wide street will be built on the west side of the mountain, leading directly to the foot of the mountain. A simple archway will be erected every seven or eight feet to hang lanterns."

Shen Yulang is dissatisfied, how much will it cost!

"It's enough to build a small road for pilgrims to go up the mountain. Do you want to build a wide street?"

"It's good to have stalls on both sides of Broad Street? You can sell incense candles, small fox ornaments, and fox-like pastries. You don't understand, these are peripheral products."

Shen Yulang was taken aback, he is a businessman, so he naturally knew how much profit An Qingyu's gesture would bring.

"...Okay, I will do as you said, but this project is too huge, and I'm afraid it won't stop for a year or so."

An Qingyu is not afraid, as long as she can advance to the foundation building stage, her lifespan will be extended to 300 years, and she can naturally wait a few years.

Conversely, if she died before the foundation was established, it doesn't matter whether she has incense or not.

"Let's stick to this Broad Street and the bronze fox statue first, and the rest can be slow."

Shen Yulang nodded, "Well, first build the bronze statue and Qiyunju."

That other courtyard was prepared for him to escape from, and of course it should be ranked first.

The two discussed again, and finally discussed the details of the project's date and cost.

Finally, Shen Yulang asked An Qingyu: "Why is it called Daohe Temple?"

An Qingyu just smiled and said nothing.

In her previous life, there was a shrine dedicated to the fox god called Inari Shrine.

In fact, she just felt that calling it the Fox Immortal Temple directly was a bit silly.

Finally, I confessed: "If there are cherry trees, help me grow more, if not, then grow some red maple trees."

　Before I knew it, there were already [-] words. Recently, the plot is as tasteless as plain boiled water. It seems that I have to find a way to add some meat, otherwise the collection will never increase, and it will be too sad.
