The sun rose from the east, and the first rays of dawn shone.
On the road in the countryside in the morning, there were still dewdrops on the surrounding weeds.
An old monk with white hair and a beard in a monk's robe walked forward quickly with a wooden staff in his hand.
Behind the old monk was a thin figure. This thin figure was wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying a basket on her back. However, from her two braids and her pure and cute appearance, it was obvious that she was a girl.
The old monk brought the little girl along with him and walked quickly until they arrived at a remote mountain.
From afar, one could see two old wooden houses built in the depths of this remote mountain. They were not far apart.
Around the two wooden houses, vegetable fields were cultivated. However, if they expanded further, they would see endless weeds and wasteland.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of two wooden houses. The old monk walked into one of them and opened the door that was simply locked with a bamboo tube.
"Qingqing, this is my house, which is also your house. Do you like it?”
The old monk brought the little girl in and asked with a smile.
The little girl, Qingqing, looked around and nodded with a smile."It's better than wandering around!”
As she spoke, she looked around and fixed her gaze on a lotus seed planted in a flower pot.
Looking at the green and blooming lotus pod that seemed to have just been glued to water, Qingqing asked curiously,""Master, is there anyone else besides you?”
"No, I don't."
"I'm the only one. Why?" the old monk replied with a smile.”
"Then these…"
Qingqing looked at the lotus.
"Oh, I'll ask the young man next door to water me every day," the old monk said with a smile.
"Next door?"
Qingqing looked at the room next door curiously and asked,""Who lives next door?"
"Next door? Hehe, he's a good person, but he's just a bad-tempered Taoist priest.”
the old monk replied with a smile.
Qingqing nodded thoughtfully after hearing that.
"Qingqing, come and tidy up the house. I'll go to the river to get some water.”
The old monk spoke again with a smile and gave Qingqing some instructions. Then, he walked out of the courtyard and picked up the water bucket that had been placed in the courtyard.
Just as he was about to go to the river to fetch water, the old monk was suddenly stunned. He looked into the distance and smiled."What a coincidence."
"Master, what coincidence?"
Qingqing, who was in the house, walked out when she heard the old monk's words and asked curiously.
The old monk pouted his lips into the distance, and Qingqing looked over.
They saw a tall and thin Taoist priest and a similarly tall young man walking toward them on the path they had come from. As they walked, the Taoist priest shook his bell. Behind him, a group of corpses in Qing Dynasty official uniforms followed the Taoist priest. They were accompanied by the Taoist priest's bell as they hopped behind the Taoist priest.
"Master, is that the one you mentioned, the…stinking Daoist priest next door?”
Qingqing asked.
"Yes."
The old monk smiled and nodded.
"Then who is the person beside him?”
Qingqing asked again curiously," Is he the young man who watered you?”
"I don't think so…"
When the old monk heard this, he looked puzzled." That young man isn't that tall. Strange, who is this person who came back with Four Eyes…"
The old monk was already mumbling to himself.
But soon, the old monk smiled. Who cares who he is? He would know if he went up and asked.
With that thought, he put down the bucket and waved at Qingqing.""Qingqing, don't be so busy. Let's go and get to know some new friends.”
As he spoke, he walked towards Daoist Priest Four-Eyed, who had come with the corpse.
Upon hearing this, Qingqing put down the rag in her hand and followed after him.
"Si Mu, what a coincidence. We just came back, and you came back right after. It seems that we are destined to be together!”
The old monk said with a smile as he came to Daoist Priest Four-Eyed.
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was originally chatting and laughing, but when he saw the old monk come forward, his expression immediately darkened. "Fate your a * s, who's fated with you!”
The old monk didn't mind. He smiled and looked at the young man beside Taoist Priest Four-Eyed." This is…"
"Hello, Master. My name is Lin Kong.”
"I've been following Daoist Priest Four-Eyed all this while, and I've gained some knowledge." The young man replied with a humble smile.”
"Oh, I see! Not bad, not bad!"
The old monk nodded with a smile and introduced himself,""My Buddhist name is Yixiu, and this person beside me is my disciple Qingqing.”
After the introductions, Master Ikyo waved at Qingqing." Come, Qingqing. Say hello to everyone.”
"Greetings, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed and Lin Kong." Qingqing nodded.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed sized Qingqing up. He didn't seem as impatient as he was with Master Ikkyu, so he let out an " en."
"Hello, Qingqing." Lin Kong smiled again.”
Seeing the warm and humble smile on Lin Kong's face, the usually bold Qingqing actually revealed a hint of fear.
"Alright, alright. We've already greeted each other. Is there anything else, Monk?”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed impatiently asked Master Ikxiu.
Master Ikxiu smiled good-naturedly and replied,""It's alright now."
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed rang his bell and said impatiently,""If there's nothing else, don't stop me from chasing the corpse!"
Without giving Master Ikyu a chance to reply, he got up and drove the undeads back to his yard. There were two wooden houses separated by wooden fences.
"I'm sorry."
Lin Kong smiled apologetically at Master Ikxiu and Qingqing before following Daoist Priest Four-Eyed into the courtyard.
"Master, why is this person like this?"
Qingqing said with a frown.
"He has such a bad temper, so I call him a stinky Taoist priest.”
"But the new friend he brought is not bad," said Master Ikxiu with a smile. Qingqing, what do you think?"
After saying that, Master Ikyo looked at Qingqing, who was beside him.
A hint of shyness flashed past Qingqing's eyes, but she nodded calmly on the surface, as if she didn't care at all.
Master Ikxiu couldn't help but be stunned.
……
"We're finally here."
Lin Kong looked at the two familiar wooden houses in front of him, one monk and one Daoist, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He and Daoist Priest Four-Eyed had left Ren Town for many days before they finally arrived.
Lin Kong glanced at the first day of his mission to stay in Daoist Priest Four-Eyed's residence for seven days in his mind. He finally felt more at ease.
"Master ~~"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from far behind.
When Lin Kong and Daoist Priest Four-Eyed heard this, they turned around and saw a young man wearing a coarse coat and breeches running over happily with two buckets of water.
"This is my disciple, Jia Le, whom I told you about before.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed smiled as he introduced Lin Kong.
Lin Kong nodded slightly.
Of course he knew.
Let alone Jiale, Master Ikyo, and Qingqing, who were next door, he even knew who would appear in the next few days.
"Be careful!"
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed shouted when he saw Jia Le running over excitedly with water in his hands.
Jia Le saw that his master had spoken, but because he was a little far away, he couldn't hear clearly, so he tilted his head and leaned forward. Master, what did you say?"
Because of this action, he couldn't see the road in front of him. In the next second, he stepped on a pile of cow dung and slipped. He was about to fall down with the bucket.
However, at this moment, one hand quickly caught him, and the other hand caught the sliding shoulder pole. After a few turns to reduce the force, the bucket stabilized.
"Your master told you to be careful."
Lin Kong laughed.
Jia Le, who had been steadied, quickly thanked him gratefully."Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much! I almost embarrassed myself again!"
After saying that, Jia Le took the pole from Lin Kong's hands and walked up to Daoist Priest Four-Eyed. He said happily,""Master, why are you back so early?”
"Why? You can't wait for me to not come back, right?”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed glared at him and said.
"Master, I'll go and pour the water into the water tank first…" Jiale laughed dryly.
After Jia Le went to get some water, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed muttered to himself,"" Speaking of which, it's strange. Usually, when I come back at night, I'll encounter some demons and ghosts, which will delay me for a day or two. I didn't expect that the journey would be smooth this time..."
At this point, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed looked at Lin Kong and said with a smile,""Lin Kong, looks like you're really my lucky star!”
Hearing this, Lin Kong smiled faintly.
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed guessed correctly.
It was because of him that all the demons and devils avoided him on the way back. Ghosts and ghosts did not dare to provoke them at all!
