Drizzle, dusk.

As the saying goes, "Spring clothes are full of wine, and February in the south of the Yangtze River is the windiest." Although Anlu is located in Huguang, the weather in February is also extremely cold. The cool wind blows on the body, making people tremble and wish they could find a place.

Nest up.

Xingwang Mansion, Qingfeng Temple.

Accompanied by a loud "boom", a few wisps of black smoke emerged from the Bagua furnace in the center, indicating that this batch of elixirs had been refined again.

In front of the alchemy furnace, a middle-aged Taoist wearing a sky-blue coat had a face as deep as water. The fire-making boys on both sides lowered their heads and remained silent, for fear that one of them would be accidentally implicated.

After a long time, the Taoist breathed a long sigh of relief and said loudly: "Come here, please bring me my slip."

After a while, the door was slowly pushed open, and a slender and graceful girl walked in from the outside. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair and tender skin like fine porcelain, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, and a rouge mole between her eyebrows.

Beautiful and touching.

At this temperature, the girl was only wearing a single piece of clothing. Her lips were a little white from the cold, but her expression was extremely solemn. She held a narrow, lacquered board with both hands and handed it over, saying respectfully: "Master, please."

The Taoist's eyes lingered on the girl's snow-white arms for a moment, and then moved away. He picked up the Gui Jian, put his hands together, placed it on his chest, and paid homage to the Sanqing statue not far away again and again, murmuring something.

After all this was completed, he stopped and ordered people to take away the remains of the elixir.

"Why are you the only one? Where is Shilu?" Just as everyone was busy, the Taoist suddenly spoke.

The girl paused for a moment, then turned around and agreed: "Back to Master, Junior Sister Shilu has eaten something bad and is worried that she may be sick, so she won't come to the main hall to show her respect."

"Well," the Taoist nodded, and slowly twirled his beard a few times, which seemed to have an air of immortality, "In that case, let her have a good rest. Tonight at three o'clock, I will start another furnace.

Dan, in order to prevent these rough-and-tumble bad things, Ruxing, you will take care of me when the time comes."

"Yes," Ruxing nodded and responded softly.

After standing here for a day, the Taoist priest felt a little tired. He picked up the dust and went back to the inner room to rest under the service of his disciples.

After he left, Xian Ruxing stayed for a while, urging the little Taoist boys to tidy up the place before leaving.

Contrary to the understanding of later generations, the Ming Dynasty's vassal palace was not a "big house" but a "small palace". The layout was exactly the same as that of the Forbidden City, except that it was smaller.

For example, the Sheji Altar where Qingfeng Temple is located is located in the southwest corner of Xingwang Mansion, close to Duanli Gate, and has the same function as the one in the capital. The emperor worshiped heaven and earth day and night, and the vassal kings worshiped the mountains and rivers of the feudal country. However, except for the Taoist priests who worship, there are few people on weekdays.

come over.

Xian Ruxing came out of the main hall and walked along the corridor to the west wing. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a wooden sleeper flying towards him.

He turned his head slightly to avoid it, and said helplessly: "Why are you making trouble again?"

In the room, a pretty girl who was younger than her hummed and put her hands on her hips. Seeing her look like this, she became even more angry and shouted angrily: "Okay, you hapless, evil-hearted, drugged account."

I haven’t settled it with you yet, and you haven’t informed me of it today! Let me tell you that the surname is Xian, I was raised by Master, even if you are instigating it, I, Zhao Silu, am also the most proud person of Qingfeng Temple!"

"Okay, okay," Xian Ruxing nodded perfunctorily, returned to his desk, washed his hands, and covered his face with a soaked cloth. He looked very tired.

Zhao Silu was left alone like this, her pretty face flushed red, and she wanted to continue arguing. Suddenly, the panicked voice of the Taoist boy came from outside, "Hey? What are you doing? You can't just come in if you are a monk in a pure place!"

Xian Ruxing and Shi Lu looked at each other and hurriedly went out to check.

I saw three or five half-grown girls and boys in Taoist robes fighting with others, cursing and quite dirty.

There were not many people in Qingfeng Temple. Except for one senior brother who was doing things outside, Ruxing Shilu was the senior one, so Zhao Shilu took the lead to greet him and asked: "Are you... the Miao from Jingyun Palace?"

Senior Sister Le, do you have something to do when you come to our Qingfeng Temple?"

Jingyun Palace, like Qingfeng Temple, was enshrined by Prince Xing's Palace. The current owner of the Palace, Prince Xing, is the fourth eldest son. He is the half-brother of the late Emperor Hongzhi and the uncle of the current emperor. He loves poetry, calligraphy and painting, and especially believes in Taoism.

Naturally, it is impossible to invite only one Taoist family to worship such a large palace. Counting Qingfeng Temple, there are four Taoist temples serving here. As the saying goes, friends are enemies, and Taoist practitioners are not immune to this. There are many frictions among the four families on weekdays. Jingyun Palace

He has a long history and is most trusted by the prince. Most of his followers are arrogant and domineering, and they have come to him more than once like this.

Miao Le, the female Taoist priest who was leading the way, sneered when she saw Shi Lu, squinting her eyes and saying disdainfully: "Of course there is something wrong. Qingfeng Guan pretended to take the charcoal fire from our Jingyun Palace, which caused my master to get cold in the past two days. He quickly vomited it out.

!”

"Charcoal fire? What charcoal fire?" Shi Lu frowned. The palace did supply some charcoal to the Taoist priests in the Sheji Altar in winter, but it had stopped as early as early February when the weather got warmer. They little ones turned blue from the cold every day.

There was nothing I could do about it. But after hearing what the other party said, Zhao Silu also reacted. He suddenly got angry and snorted: "Okay, why did the charcoal run out so early this year? It turns out that it was all made by others."

You swallowed up Jingyun Palace, and now you come to us to ask for it! Do you really think we have no one in Qingfeng Temple!?"

Miao Le was used to being arrogant, but when she met someone who dared to refute her for the first time, she couldn't help but get angry. The two sides started arguing and gradually started to fight.

These Taoist priests were young and pampered on weekdays. The so-called "fights" were just you grabbing me and pushing you. Seeing that the Jingyun Palace was about to gain the upper hand, suddenly a large amount of cold water fell from the sky, dousing several of them.

Heartbroken.

"Ouch!" Miao Le screamed. It was only February. Although it was not as cold as winter, it was still very cold outside. At this time, they were soaked to the skin and shivered when the cold wind blew.

Xian Ruxing held a kettle in one hand and scolded with a nonchalant expression: "Qingfeng Temple is not a place for you to act wild. I won't be polite if you continue!"

Miao Le was now soaked, and her aura was inevitably downgraded. She saw Xian Ruxing's expression was cold and hard, and her eyes were full of coldness. She couldn't help but shuddered, but her mouth was still unforgiving and she said sharply: "Auntie, you are the one who scared me."

No big deal! Just wait, my master will definitely not spare you!" After saying this, he fled with his men.

Throwing the kettle to the Taoist boy, Xian Ruxing straightened his clothes, looked up and saw the boys and girls around him with wide eyes, looking at him with some fear, and was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he shook his head in amusement, and said warmly: "What?

Why are you just standing there? Clean this place up quickly, Master will be refining elixirs tonight."

"Ah, yes!" Everyone was panicked. Seeing that the always gentle senior sister had returned to her previous appearance, they breathed a sigh of relief and went about their business.

Zhao Silu stepped forward, and after a long while, he hesitated and said: "I'm afraid Miaole won't let it go just like this. You'd better go and report it to the master as soon as possible. The master is so powerful, he will definitely protect you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party's half-smiling expression. Zhao Silu immediately became furious. His temperament had changed a lot since Xian Ruxing fell into the water and was rescued from a serious illness a few months ago. The most important thing is that

, Zhao Silu always felt that he was not very respectful to his master.

"Forget it, I don't care about you, but having said that, what's going on with the charcoal fire? Why did Jingyun Palace say we got it?"

"Maybe I made a mistake." Xian Ruxing laughed and deliberately changed the topic.

Sure enough, as she expected, Taoist Qingfeng didn't ask any questions when he found out that his disciple had offended Jingyun Palace. He directly ordered Xian Ruxing to come and apologize, and then even punished him to stay in Sanqing Palace for half a year. He even chose to stay in seclusion for a few days.

God hides from the limelight.

With such a sect, it is impossible for the disciples not to be disappointed, but at this time, "the king of heaven and earth is the master", even if the master is wrong, they can't find anything to blame.

Xian Ruxing was not too disappointed. After packing his things, Shi Lu hesitated and moved into the empty hall.

Monks worship the Buddha, and Taoists offer offerings to the Three Purities. The so-called "Three Purities" refer to the three gods: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun and Taiqing Daode Tianzun. The Sanqing Hall is located in the center of the Sheji Altar.

It is rarely open outside of major Taoist festivals such as the Fifth Lath Day. On weekdays, the various Taoist temples take turns to send people to clean it. Now that Xian Ruxing has moved in, she will naturally be fully responsible.

Pushing open the heavy door, Xian Ruxing lit the candlestick and began to clean under the dim candlelight with his head down.

The Sanqing Hall was vast and deserted, perhaps because the disciples were lazy during the day. Not only was the ground covered in dust, but there was also a musty smell in the air. However, Xian Ruxing didn't seem to be unhappy about it at all, and he cleaned it very seriously, even the people on the stage.

The statues of the gods were polished to a high shine.

After doing all this, the girl breathed a long sigh of relief, took out the incense beside her, kowtowed several times to Sanqing respectfully, and muttered solemnly:

"My God, the Three Pure Ones, I just want to go back in time. As long as I can go back, I am willing to be a vegetarian for three years and serve you all my life."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and knelt on the ground. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was still here, and sighed in disappointment.

Yes, Xian Ruxing is a time traveler.

In her previous life, she had just started working for two years after graduating from college. With the support of her family, she bought a house in a first-tier city with a loan. Seeing that her life and career were gradually getting on the right track, she was suddenly hit by an out-of-control vehicle on the road and woke up again.

, has become a female Taoist priest during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago.

The little Taoist nun accidentally fell into the water and had a high fever after being rescued. In ancient times, medical treatment was not developed, so she just left. However, her namesake, Xian Ruxing, took advantage of her.

No, strictly speaking, it's not a good thing.

Xian Ruxing smiled bitterly. God knows how disgusting she was when she found out that the master of the owner of this body had other thoughts about him. Every time the other party glanced at him, Xian Ruxing wanted to dig out the old pervert's eyes.

Fortunately, there were only two older female Taoists in Qingfeng Temple, namely her and Shi Lu. After traveling through time, she used various methods to prevent the old Taoist priest from succeeding.

"It's not an option to continue like this." Xian Ruxing tugged at her hair in distress. She had to find a way to leave here completely.

It was already dark now, and Xian Ruxing was tired and hungry after working all day. He had prepared some dry food and water before coming, but after a quick look, he found that it was so hard that it was hard to swallow.

Xian Ruxing stretched out, moved his muscles and bones, and silently recited the word "go home" in his mind, and in the blink of an eye he had entered another space.

Looking at the familiar scene, she took a breath and sat down on the sofa.

Fortunately, I traveled with a golden finger, otherwise this life would be so difficult!

Xian Ruxing's golden finger is funny to say the same. It was the house she bought with a huge loan before she wore it. I don't know if it was because the house slave was so resentful before her death that this thing actually came with her.

After repeated experiments and research, Xian Ruxing finally understood how to use this golden finger.

She can enter here for up to an hour every day, and she can take out everything in the house, but she can take only a few items, and there is no way to replenish supplies.

The house is more than 120 square meters, with four bedrooms and two living rooms. It is filled with various large and small commodities that she has hoarded due to the epidemic, which will be kept fresh for a long time. The water, electricity and gas can be used normally, only the mobile phone and computer cannot be opened.

.

This golden finger gave Xian Ruxing the confidence that even if he left the palace now, he would not starve to death in a short time.

Pulling out the half-eaten bottle of Lao Gan Ma, she barely swallowed two multigrain steamed buns with this water. After almost choking to death, she lay on the mattress and rested for a while. Seeing that the time was up, she reluctantly got up.

leave.

"Get out." Xian Ruxing shouted softly, and then he felt as if he was being tied up with a rope.

The only bad thing about this golden finger is that when you return to reality from home, your whole body is "squeezed out" little by little.

First his left leg, then his left arm, and then part of his face... Finally half of his body came out, and Xian Ruxing was so tired that he could barely breathe.

Just when I was thinking about whether to rest for two minutes, suddenly, the door of the main hall was slowly pushed open, and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old in brocade clothes walked in from the outside.

Accompanied by the pale moonlight, only Xian Ruxing's incomplete body was suspended in the air. Looking into his eyes, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"You, you, you, you!" The young man looked at the scene in front of him tremblingly, and his handsome face turned pale in an instant!

The room was as silent as a midnight cemetery, and under this, the breathing of the two people could be heard clearly.

"Well, I can explain, but please don't shout!" Xian Ruxing held half of his head on his head and spoke slowly in the dim candlelight.

"I won't shout, I won't shout..." The young man was in a daze, and with a pop, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Chapter completed!
