Chapter 42: Real White Crane
[There is another update. No one looks at the child during the day, so it's too late. Old D wants to update the third update at 1 o'clock. Sorry, it won't happen tomorrow]
Chu Jiang was still thousands of miles away, and Bai Qi did not go rashly. King Chu Jiang was killed. There were probably powerful monsters in Chu Jiang. Even if he went with the seal, he would be killed and seized.
Yu Linling also talked to him about this. The powerful demon clan is respected. The Chu River is vast and there are many powerful monsters born. Some are even born gods. No matter how weak they are, they are not comparable to Bai Qi. Once King Chu Jiang dies, all these things want to take over. The seal of King Chu Jiang is what these monsters and gods are most eager to get.
Bai Qi did not change his name, but he still changed his Taoist robe and did not wear his own brocade robe. With the Taoist dress, when he passed by the city, he had less investigation.
The Great Jin Dynasty did not have the strict household registration as strict as the Former Qin Dynasty, but ordinary people could not move at will. If you walk in another place, you need to refer to the literary route.
Bai Qi did not avoid the city. He wanted to inquire about Jinling City and could not go to the countryside. On the same day, he came to Yingcheng. Bai Qi found a hotel to stay in. Yingcheng was more than 800 miles away from the capital, and it was not far or near. After Bai Qi stayed there, he had no experience in traveling outside, so he simply wandered around the city. He chose lively places and happened to come to the front of a temple.
The Buddhist sect in the Great Jin Dynasty was not very prosperous, but the White Lotus Sect had many temples in the south, and the number of believers was relatively large.
This temple is the property of the White Lotus Sect. Bai Qi looked up and saw a horizontal plaque hanging on the tall mountain gate, which read the White Horse Temple. The surrounding area of the White Horse Temple is empty and in the city, such a temple covers a huge area and is generally difficult to build. However, this is the property bought by the White Lotus Sect and costs countless money.
There was a large open space in front of the temple, and the monks from the White Lotus Sect did not occupy it, but used it to set up stalls for small vendors in the city. Some teams who were walking around the world were juggling here, forming a market.
Bai Qi was not in a hurry to rush. He went to the south to find a sect to become a disciple. Such things could not be forced. He wandered around the market, wearing a Taoist robe, but it didn't seem eye-catching. There were all kinds of people in this market, and there were more than one Taoist priest.
Bai Qi was under a big tree and saw a Taoist priest setting up a stall to make a fortune, and the business was pretty good.
The Taoist priest was quite old, with gray hair and a long beard. Behind him was a long yellow banner with two sloppy words written on it - Ask the Bu.
People who practice Taoism generally pay attention to their appearance, and at most they keep their appearance in middle age, so that they will not make themselves look old. Bai Qi didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw the Taoist priest asking the guest in front of him to write something on the yellow paper talisman, he felt interesting and came closer to observe.
The person who wanted to divine seemed to be dressed as a wealthy businessman. Two servants stood behind him. The servants had martial arts. Bai Qi even saw a calloused on the side of the fingers of the two servants, but they were left by practicing a special bow and arrow all year round. That kind of bow and arrow is an item in the army. These two people should be elite soldiers who have retired.
The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty had arrangements after they were discharged from the army and would not leave their hometown easily. This person could find elite soldiers who had retired and guarded their own money, so he would not have too little wealth.
Bai Qi seemed to be unaware of the noise around him. He came to the hexagram stall, glanced at the paper talisman that the Taoist priest had put away, and saw that the paper talisman was written by the rich businessman on it.
Bai Qi then felt that the Taoist priest was not simple. Asking divination matters consumed his own luck. The Taoist priest asked the customers who wanted to divine money to make their own efforts and block the disasters for him. He did not meet many Qi refiners along the way. This Taoist priest was almost a cultivator who refined Qi and transformed into gods. Bai Qi simply stood behind and waited.
The Taoist priest was straightforward and finished talking to the rich businessman. Then, the Taoist priest reached out and summoned Bai Qi.
"Fellow Taoist, please help."
"Hmm?" Bai Qi was stunned.
"Haha, you want to ask Bu, right?" The Taoist priest looked at Bai Qi, and Bai Qi said calmly: "Yes."
"You need to do me a favor to get a lesson for you."
"What are you doing?"
"Sir, there are monsters at home that cause trouble, so I'm not good at killing, so I'll ask fellow Taoists to go there."
Bai Qi was suddenly disappointed again. This Taoist may have the ability, but his behavior is almost like a liar in the world. It is not that people with the ability will not deceive, but that his biological father has deceived his mother. He is the best sword cultivator in the world.
Seeing Bai Qi's expression, the old Taoist smiled and said, "It's just a little demon, and you won't lose anything."
Bai Qi pretended to be angry: "How could a monster be in this city? Are you confused?"
The wealthy businessman next to him interjected, "Master, this immortal priest is right. There is a monster in my family. I have been in a house outside the city. It has been more than half a year since I can do anything about it, so my whole family moved into the city."
Bai Qi nodded and said, "If it were a remote place outside the city, it would be possible."
The old Taoist priest smiled and cleaned up his stall and said, "Since fellow Taoist agrees, let's go immediately."
Bai Qi saw that the old Taoist climbed along the pole and just smiled. His temperament was not a person who was calculating. Moreover, he really wanted to meet some Qi Refiners. Outside Zhongzhou, Qi Refiners communicated very frequently, and they complemented each other's Taoist techniques, which were very convenient. My mother said she should be careful, but she could not work behind closed doors. She was more cautious than letting him go to the deep mountains and forests to hide it.
Human relationships and worldly worlds are also good places to polish your mind.
The old Taoist priest casually made a bag, carried the yellow banner, pulled Bai Qi, and followed the wealthy businessman to leave Bai Ma Temple. Bai Qi turned around and saw the Buddha light lingering in the White Ma Temple, and knew that there were monks in it.
"It's no pity, just kill a monster, you can come back." The old Taoist did not look back, but knew what Bai Qi was thinking.
"Hey, what's the name of Xianzhang?"
"What do you call a real person from Baihe on Channel?"
"Xiaodao Qingmingzi." Bai Qi used the Taoist name given to him by his mother.
The Baihe Zhenren was familiar with each other and did not look like a monk. He was like walking around the world and making a living. However, the old Taoist thought frankly than Bai Qi. After the two got into the car of a wealthy businessman, Bai Qi asked why the old Taoist did not take away the monsters by himself. Bai He told Bai Qi that he lost the bet with the monks of the White Horse Temple. As long as he was in the White Horse Temple for a day, he would not be allowed to use Taoist techniques to kill animals. Not to mention monsters or mosquitoes were allowed to kill half of them.
"Are the monks of the White Lotus Sect vegetarian food? Why don't they help this..." Bai Qi pointed to the wealthy businessman who was traveling in the car and said, "Don't you help this person subdue demons?"
The rich businessman smiled bitterly and said, "Master, how dare I provoke the monks of the White Lotus Sect? Once I ask for it once, my wealth will be taken into it. My whole family will probably be saved. My industry will probably be from the White Horse Temple."
"Then you are wandering around outside the temple, aren't you afraid of being caught in and eating meat?" Bai Qi teased.
"The Taoist priest was joking. The monks from Baima Temple are not unreasonable. But I am most afraid that they will reason. Once they talk about Buddhism with you, no one can resist the temptation. So I would rather spend a huge amount of money to ask the Taoist priest for help."
"High money?"
"If you can remove the monster, you are willing to produce a hundred taels of red gold."
Bai He Zhenren was smiling and listening to the conversation between the two people without saying a word. It took about an hour before the car left Yingcheng and headed straight for a manor in the suburbs.
Bai Qi thought to himself that the village near Yingcheng would not be too expensive, and there would be no land, just a villa for living. For such a rich man, it would be just to abandon it and ask someone to eliminate monsters, and spend a hundred taels of red gold? This is strange.
Red gold is about fifteen times more expensive than the common gold in the world. One hundred taels of red gold is equivalent to one thousand five hundred taels of gold. No matter how luxurious the decoration of the manor is, it is not worth the price, right?
This business is interesting.
In front of the Baihe Realm, Bai Qi didn't want to inquire about Jinling City for the time being, and gradually became speechless. He walked more than fifty miles and came to a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Behind the mountains and rivers, there is a large manor, and there is indeed no land nearby.
The rich businessman didn't dare to get out of the car and said, "Two immortal masters, I'll just wait here."
Bai He looked at the wealthy businessman, and didn't say much, so he took Bai Qi out of the car. The path in front of the manor was covered with weeds. Although the sun was red, the cold wind was still bleak and bleak.
Baihe Zhenren came to the door, with fallen leaves on the stone steps that no one cleaned, and the stone unicorns on both sides were covered with green moss.
It seems that the rich people in the south have long been very bold. This Qilin is something that only scholarly families can use. A rich businessman dares to transcend this way. It seems that the collapse of the Great Jin Dynasty is only a matter of time.
Bai Qi sighed and then ignored this kind of thing. Bai He Zhenren reached out and pushed open the door, and the copper lock on the door fell silently.
Bai Qi followed Baihe Zhenren into the courtyard. The Baihe Zhenren seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked like a flying step and headed straight to the garden behind.
The gardens in the south are generally small and compact. This place is different. Not far from the circle, it is a stone bridge with wide water on both sides. The entire garden is probably several miles in size. After passing the stone bridge, there is a rockery that is dozens of feet high. The front is steep and cannot be climbed.
Bai He Zhenren stopped and said to Bai Qi: "You must be very strange. Why, as a Qi Refiner, I would be greedy for a hundred taels of red gold and do such things?"
Bai Qi nodded. This Baihe Zhenren was a monk in the God Transformation Stage and no longer needed money from the world.
"I'm also wondering how the young master of Duke Yu became a Taoist priest." Bai He Zhenren's smile became a little illusory. In Bai Qi's hand, the Liquan magic spear had already bounced open and pointed at Bai He Zhenren.
"How did you know me?" Bai Qi felt guilty. He had been at home since he was a child. When he was only thirteen years old, he went to the border once and did not walk around. How could this old Taoist meet him by chance?
"Fellow Daoist Qingming, I am a casual cultivator. Why do you have to be so nervous? What's so strange about knowing you? I practice divination. You changed your clothes but didn't change your shoes."
Bai Qi did not withdraw his gun, but retracted the Liquan magic gun back into a metal tube and said, "The Immortal Master is really scary. Not bad, I am Bai Qi, what do you want?"
