Chapter 16, Qingxue Tells a Story
Qingyu ran out of the backyard and shouted with a smile: "Sister, has someone come to offer incense? I'll take him there."
Qingxue said: "This person is the master's friend."
"Oh~" Qingyu said regretfully, she still quite likes to direct others to burn incense, which gives her a unique sense of accomplishment.
Bai Yuchen smiled and said: "Little girl, how many people are you here?"
Qingxue clasped her fingers and muttered: "Master, me, sister." She raised her head and said happily: "Three people."
"Is it just you three?"
"Yeah~" Qingxue nodded affirmatively.
Bai Yuchen let out a deep breath in his heart and laughed a little. It seemed that he was thinking too much. He must be that poor Taoist who was playing house with two little girls! Just give him some advice later and let him
Play somewhere else.
Bai Yuchen asked casually: "What do you mean by offering incense?"
Qingyu said with a smile: "Send incense and pray for the blessing of Sanqing Daozu!"
Bai Yuchen's expression changed and he suddenly said: "Is this a temple?"
Qingyu shook his head and said seriously: "It's not a temple, we have a Taoist temple here."
Qingxue also nodded and corrected, "Yes, it's a Taoist temple."
Bai Yuchen raised his head and looked at the Sanqing Hall, striding over solemnly. Could it really be the secret hand of the evil god?
Qingxue Qingyu started to trot behind and followed her towards the main hall.
Walking into the main hall, three statues of gods were standing out, one old, one middle and one young. Unlike the other statues in the temple, these three statues did not appear to be evil and were no different from ordinary people.
Qingyu ran up to Bai Yuchen, raised her head and asked expectantly: "Do you want to offer incense?"
Bai Yuchen let out a sigh of relief in his heart. They were not evil gods, nor did they have the aura of divine power. They were just three ordinary statues.
Bai Yuchen shook his head and said with a smile: "I am a disciple of the academy and I do not worship gods."
Qingyu said innocently: "But we are not gods here! We are the Taoist ancestors of Sanqing."
"Da Ni, Er Ni~" A Nono cry came from outside.
The three of them turned around and saw three people in patched clothes standing outside with baskets in their hands and smiles.
A big man slapped the woman next to her on the head, scolded and yelled: "Dani and Erni are you also called? They are Taoist Priest Qingxue and Taoist Priest Qingyu."
The woman nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes! Yes! Taoist priest Qingxue, Taoist priest Qingyu."
The other two people also shouted quickly: "Taoist Master Qingxue, Taoist Master Qingyu."
Qingxue ran out of the hall and shouted happily: "Uncle Wolf, aunt, aunt, why are you here?"
The man named Uncle Lang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't dare to take it. I don't take it. Just call me by my name."
Qingyu ran to the two women and shouted happily: "Auntie, I am Qingyu!"
The old woman said solemnly: "I have met Taoist Master Qingyu."
Qingyu was confused for a while, what happened to the aunt? Does she not like me?
Uncle Lang took the basket carried by the woman and said respectfully: "Qingxue, Qingyu, we are here to worship the gods, and this is our offering."
Qingxue shook her head and said: "Master said that our Sanqing Temple does not accept offerings."
Uncle Lang grinned and said: "I know, I know. Captain Mangshan told me after he came back that your temple does not accept offerings, and the gods are very effective. The gods do not accept offerings, but you always have to accept something.
, otherwise we will not feel at ease when worshiping God.”
Qingxue shook her head and said firmly: "If you don't accept it, you won't accept it. You can't go against what you said."
Uncle Wolf rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you don't want to take it, don't take it! I'll put it here first." He walked to the side and placed the basket against the wall.
Qingxue nodded and said seriously: "Uncle Wolf, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on the basket and no one will take it away."
Uncle Lang chuckled and said, "Thank you very much, Taoist Master Qingxue."
Qingyu said happily: "If you want to worship, come with me." She jumped into the hall.
Uncle Lang and the other three followed behind and walked into the hall obediently.
Qingyu stood in front of the case by the wall and said seriously: "Each person will receive three sticks of incense, no more and no less!"
"Know!"
"Know~"
The three of them nodded in agreement.
Outside the door, Bai Yuchen looked at the worship process thoughtfully, and found that there was really no need for flesh and blood sacrifices. He looked at Qingxue and said with a smile: "Taoist Qingxue, right? Are their sacrifices like this useful?"
Qingxue nodded seriously and said: "It's useful! Sanqing Taoist Ancestor will definitely hear it."
Sanqing Taoist? Bai Yuchen said with a smile: "I wonder, Taoist Master Qingxue, could you tell me the origin of your Sanqing Temple?"
Qingxue's eyes lit up and she said happily: "Okay! Okay! Come with me." She jumped up and ran towards the backyard.
Bai Yuchen followed and walked towards the back.
In the backyard, there was a small pavilion. Qingxue and Bai Yuchen sat in the small pavilion and said excitedly: "Our Sanqing Temple has a long history. According to the master, it is a sect that has been handed down since the beginning of the world.
Speaking of."
"Wait~" Bai Yuchen said in shock: "In the ancient times, the world was created? You...you actually know what happened in ancient times."
Qingxue said doubtfully: "Brother, don't you know? Master said that period was called the Great Desolate Period."
Bai Yuchen shook his head blankly, his mind was in chaos. Just two words could make him feel the vastness of ancient times.
With a little excitement, Qingxue smiled and began to tell Bai Yuchen about the creation of the world by the great god Pangu, the happy play of three thousand demon gods, and the brutal killing of Pangu.
…
On the other side, Li Ping'an rode a green bull leisurely into Anqing City. People were coming and going on the streets, and the sound of hawking was endless, making it very lively.
Li Ping'an rode a green bull and walked slowly in the city, shouting loudly: "We are recruiting chefs, we are recruiting chefs~ Sanqing Temple is recruiting chefs, don't miss it when you pass by, the treatment is generous!"
After calling for a while, a fat man covered in oil blocked the way and shouted: "Hey~ are you recruiting a chef?"
Li Pingan smiled and nodded and said, "That's right!"
The big fat man smiled and said, "How much does it cost a month?"
Li Ping'an hesitated for a moment and said, "Look, can a copper bead be enough?"
"Bah~ Poor guy!" The big fat man spat on the ground with disdain, turned around and left.
Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "I have no chance of joining the Taoist sect!" He continued to shout loudly: "We are hiring chefs, we are hiring chefs~ It is cheap to hire chefs."
Soon someone stopped to ask, but when they learned that there was only one copper bead per month, they turned around and left without exception, and many even made some sarcastic remarks.
