Whether it is a cultivator or a ghost, how do they view birth, old age, sickness and death at the foot of the mountain any different than an ordinary master sees the flowers blooming and falling in this courtyard?

She turned around and asked, "How did you become a Qi practitioner?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "By chance, I learned mountain climbing when I was young."

She turned back and said softly: "You are a smart person. You must have guessed that as a ghost, I must have something to rely on for being able to live here for a long time."

The Taoist priest nodded, it was easy to understand and it was not difficult to guess, "There is someone up there."

Over at the Chenghuang Temple in the capital, there was a high-ranking judge with whom she seemed to have been an old acquaintance during their lifetimes.

The judge once visited the residence twice at night to meet with her. However, it was a bit like a private visit incognito, and there was no fanfare.

Yin and Yang each have their own officialdom. As the capital of the Yuxuan Kingdom, the City God's Temple has twenty-four divisions as a rule. As the right-hand man of the City God, this civil judge oversees six of the divisions, including the Yin and Yang Division. However, this is

The old almanac has been turned over, but now, it’s hard to say.

As long as you are in the officialdom, no matter how knowledgeable or talented you are, whether you are in the world of heaven or the underworld, you will always be afraid of being unsociable.

Xue Ruyi suddenly turned his head, his face was as frosty and filled with evil spirits.

The Taoist priest said helplessly: "Miss Xue, you are a serious person, what are you thinking about?"

Let’s just say, read less novels about talented people and beautiful women, and read more classics and biographies.

Xue Ruyi said angrily: "Then do you know what I think?!"

The Taoist priest said: "If you want to inflict a crime, why bother?"

Seeing that the female ghost still looked ugly, the Taoist priest could only explain: "You said that Pindao is just greedy for money, but lustful? Miss Xue, you may not trust Pindao's character, but you can't help but believe in your own vision of people, right?"

Xue Ruyi thinks this statement is reasonable.

The Taoist priest asked curiously: "Can I take the liberty to ask, who is Miss Xue's backer in the officialdom? How big an official must she be? To allow Miss Xue to settle just a few steps away from the county government office, there is no such thing as the county god."

Any underworld official or ghost messenger comes to our door."

Xue Ruyi sneered and said: "I am good friends with General Shao of the County God's Temple. Are you afraid?"

The Taoist priest secretly swallowed his saliva and stood up.

He cupped his fists in the distance towards the County God's Temple, shook it hard a few times, and said in a deep voice: "I am devoted to practice, I have integrity in my body, I can't do evil, and I am never afraid of walking at night. What's more, General Shackles is responsible for punishing rape and eradicating evil.

The most important thing is to enforce the law impartially, especially General Shackles of our county, and the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master, who are all well-known as good officials! If I had been able to speak up in the Capital City God's Temple, I would have suggested promoting these three adults.

Reused.”

Xue Ruyi rubbed the center of his eyebrows, they couldn't listen to you being so flattering.

This place is no different from other places, and the county god doesn’t care about it.

"Chen Jianxian, don't you have a woman you like?"

Otherwise, how could he be so homeless?

"Yes, why not?"

"Is it really true?"

Xue Ruyi knew that the other party was a genuine qi practitioner. Although his realm was not worth mentioning, two realms? If he was exhausted, he would be a three-level qigong practitioner? But after all, he had one foot on the mountain.

She joked: "Which girl? How old is she? Is she about the same age as you, or is she a young woman? Is the other person obsessed with you before he falls in love with you? Nothing can happen when you reach middle age. You said you are so old?

You are now in your forties, and you have accomplished nothing. You are wandering around all day long relying on a Taoist family to pay ultimatums. If you find an opportunity, bring it over and show it to me. Oh, I must break you up to save you from harming others."

In fact, this Taoist priest set up a fortune-telling stall every day and made a lot of money, which was much better than ordinary small households in the capital.

It's just that as a Qi practitioner, it's not good enough. Just being exposed to wind and sun every day, how many years will it take to earn a piece of snow?

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Then you can't break them apart."

Xue Ruyi turned around and joked: "The woman who likes you probably doesn't look good, right?"

The middle-aged man sitting on the steps smiled and just crossed his arms across his chest, looking up at the moon with gentle eyes.

Xue Ruyi curled her lips.

Ouch, so sour.

Maybe the man behind him is hopeless, maybe the woman he is longing for is really average-looking, but after all, they love each other.

A man's mouth, a liar, and sweet words.

But looks can't deceive you.

The Taoist priest took out a vermilion wine gourd, an old object with a shiny coating.

Xue Ruyi smelled the aroma of wine and couldn't help but ask: "Which restaurant has such delicious wine?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "It's natural for home-brewed wine to taste good. It's generally recognized as cheap and good-quality. You just have to drink it sparingly."

Xue Ruyi simply stood up and stood on the swing.

I remember that when the middle-aged Taoist priest first moved into the house, there was no one swinging on the swing, and there was a series of sweet laughter like silver bells.

The passing Taoist priest was so frightened that he immediately grabbed a bunch of talismans from his sleeves. His wrists were trembling. He took out the fire seal, lit the talisman, raised it high, stepped on it with a step, and swung it around. At the same time, a fire dragon appeared and flew away.

He ran away, shouting mantras and mantras passed down by an unknown Taoist lineage. He slammed the door shut with extremely fast movements, crackling, and covered the door, walls and windows with worthless yellow paper talismans.

.

The Taoist priest looked at the back of the figure standing on the swing, sighed, picked up the wine gourd in his hand, and took a silent sip of wine.

The paradoxical scene is also a swing inside the wall and a way outside the wall.

Xue Ruyi joked: "By the way, who are you looking for to reminisce about the past? We have been in the capital for so long and we haven't seen each other. It's so difficult to meet in person. Could it be His Majesty the Emperor?"

The Taoist priest seemed unwilling to mention the matter and changed the subject, "In a few days, it will be the Spring Equinox. Miss Xue should pay more attention."

The weather reaches the vernal equinox, when the yin and yang phases are exactly half-way, day and night are even, and the cold and heat are equal.

For ghosts in the world, the period after the Waking of Insects and before the Tomb Sweeping Day is relatively difficult, especially after the Spring Equinox, when the yang energy gradually becomes stronger and strikes the yin, causing thunder to occur.

Xue Ruyi obviously has no intention. Although she is a female ghost, she is an accomplished spiritual being, almost a heroic spirit. She is naturally not afraid of these natural thunder and lightning that follow the movements of the solar terms.

The middle-aged Taoist priest just mentioned it casually, rubbing his hands and saying: "On the vernal equinox, I will show off my skills again and set up a table of spring dishes for you. On the vernal equinox, you will eat spring vegetables, bamboo shoots, green wormwood, and chrysanthemum buds... I am a poor Taoist who travels all over the country.

In many places, after the Spring Equinox, there is the Peach Blossom Flood near Caiyi Country. The mandarin fish, crucian carp, steamed and braised in the river are all delicious. Further south, in places close to the sea, if it is this season, a big plate of fried yellow sand clams will be served.

Chives, tsk.”

Xue Ruyi said angrily: "Do you only know how to eat?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "Food is the most important thing for people."

Xue Ruyi choked for a moment, jumped off the swing, intertwined her fingers, and stretched.

The Taoist priest looked up at the sky and said softly: "If there is rain on the spring equinox, it is a good year, but this year it is estimated that the weather in the capital will be sunny without rain."

Looking back, the Taoist smiled and said: "I have calculated with my fingers that there may be thunder on the Qingming Festival, and the movement will be relatively loud. Miss Xue won't have to think too much about it then."

Xue Ruyi sneered and said: "It turns out that Daozhang Chen can not only predict people, but also God? The real person doesn't show his face."

The Taoist priest said: "All kinds of knowledge, difficult and profound, are just a matter of 'accumulation of thoughts and sudden explanations'. It is not difficult, but it is not difficult, and it is not difficult."

Xue Ruyi shook her wrist and planned to return.

The Taoist priest pointed to the flower hall on the side of the main hall behind him, "Miss Xue, in the past few days, I may want to use this precious place to say hello to Miss Xue."

Xue Ruyi nodded and asked doubtfully: "What are you going to do? Are you planning to entertain friends? Are you worried that I will come out and disturb the situation?"

The Taoist priest shook his head and said with a smile: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."

Xue Ruyi reminded: "It's okay to have a banquet, but don't call a few brothel girls over to have fun and add to the fun. It will be a mess!"

The Taoist priest waved his hands repeatedly, "It's easy to spend dozens of taels of silver. Is it drinking money or drinking money?"

Xue Ruyi sneered and said: "I do know the market. It turns out that people are not romantic only because they are poor."

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "Men are most afraid of pretending to be stupid and crazy. They can do something when they have money, but they can be tempted even if they don't have money. Those who are as famous as Pindao are actually honest and honest."

Xue Ruyi drifted away.

The Taoist priest walked into the side hall, glanced at the long table, nodded, made fists with both hands and twisted them gently, preparing to go to his residence to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone to show off his skills.

As soon as he turned his head, the Taoist priest saw a head hanging on the ground in front of his eyes. He subconsciously punched it. His fist stopped just in front of the female ghost and said angrily: "Xue Ruyi, you will scare people to death!"

The female ghost floated down, and the Taoist priest strode out of the side hall angrily. She followed behind him and asked: "Why do you want to borrow the flower hall?"

The Taoist priest said angrily: "It's not easy to live in the capital, horses don't get fat without night, and poor Taoists can't earn money to earn rent."

The female ghost yawned, "It's strange to me. You are a Qi practitioner with three legs and a cat, but you are also a Qi practitioner. Why do you like money so much?"

"To live a life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, recognize money but not people, just don't have the word 'only'. To be a god, the so-called real person, is nothing more than being serious and not recognizing people, never have the word 'only'."

"To cultivate the Tao, there are thousands of paths, and all methods can only be explained in one word."

Xue Ruyi frowned and asked, "What's the explanation?"

"Heart."

"The form and spirit are unified, and the heart and spirit are in agreement."

Probably because he has been wandering around for many years and is accustomed to the world, he is very familiar with all kinds of heresy. In short, this fake Taoist priest is not high in cultivation and has very mixed knowledge.
