He looked at the incense on the altar.

Yang Shou felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, the incense that he had just picked up did not feel wet.

From the looks of it, it didn't look like it was made crudely.

It was a little strange that it hadn't been lit after being roasted by the candle for so long.

"Could it be…"

Yang Shou looked at the ferocious statue on the high platform and suddenly had a guess.

In this strange world, Taiping District seemed to be the most unique existence.

Could it be that he came from Taiping Community, so he couldn't light the incense?

"Young man, you're lucky you didn't light the incense.”

"You don't know anything and you want to ask the Taoist temple for talisman papers?”

Just as Yang Shou was deep in thought, a middle-aged couple walked up slowly. The man reminded Yang Shou.

The two of them were in their fifties. The man had taken good care of himself. His hair was neatly combed and he wore gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a high-educated person.

Next to him was his wife. She was pretty, but her eyebrows were thin and she looked a little fierce.

"What luck?"

Yang Shou's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't be so unlucky, could he? He had casually entered a Taoist temple. Could it be that he had entered some dungeon?

Unexpectedly, the man smiled and said,

"I don't think you're familiar with this place, so you probably don't know the rules of the old Taoist temple.”

"If you lit the incense just now, one incense stick would be 500 yuan. Three incense sticks would be 1,500 yuan.”

"If you don't pay, there will be a group of Taoist priests stopping you later and won't let you go.”

He had heard that some Taoist temples were particularly good at ripping people off, but Yang Shou was still a little surprised when he really encountered them.

An incense stick was only worth a few cents outside.

It was actually worth 1,000 in the Daoist temple.

Seeing Yang Shou's reaction, the middle-aged man smiled and said,"

"I don't think you're rich. Since you didn't light the incense, you're lucky.”

"Don't even think about asking for the talisman."

"Let me tell you, the old Taoist temple's blessing talismans are very famous. One talisman paper costs at least five thousand yuan.”

"You, don't wait here foolishly. Hurry up and leave before they notice.”

Hearing this, Yang Shou frowned. The price of this talisman was even more ridiculous than incense.

Fortunately, he did not lack money at the moment.

Otherwise, he would have turned around and left the moment he heard the price.

"If you know that the Taoist temple is so greedy, why did you come?”

Yang Shou asked curiously.

"Swindling money? Actually, it wasn't really. The old Taoist temple was expensive, but the incense and talisman papers were very effective.”

The middle-aged man said calmly, but his eyes revealed a proud smile.

"We come here every few days to buy some talismans and light a few incense sticks.”

"It's nothing to us."

"But you're different. You're young and don't look like a rich family. Don't waste money on this.”

Yang Shou was taken aback. He had a vague feeling that the middle-aged man did not mean well.

At this moment, the woman who had been silent all this time finally glanced over and said coldly,

"Do you still not understand?"

"What level are you at? You're going to the same Taoist temple as us.”

"Can you afford it?"

"Hey, Honey, don't say that. That's not what I meant.”The man quickly stopped him and looked at Yang Shou with a seemingly sincere smile.

"Young man, you have a bright future ahead of you."

"We can spend tens of thousands of yuan to burn incense and buy talisman papers.”

"It's different for you."

"You, earning money is the right way. Don't go to the Taoist temple for nothing.”

"It's too expensive."

This guy was beating around the bush and being sarcastic. So he was trying to show off his wealth.

Yang Shou finally understood.

It was also his fault for being preconceived and thinking in a strange direction.

They had forgotten that most of the people in this world were unaware of their own death. They also had seven emotions and six desires, as well as messy personalities.

"Actually, I still have some money."

Yang Shou wasn't angry. He thought of the situation where he couldn't light the incense stick and said with a smile.

He took two steps forward and stood in front of the offering table. After taking a few glances, he picked out the most special bundle of incense.

"How much is this incense?"

The middle-aged couple was stunned. The man subconsciously said,

"This is dao pattern incense. It's said that the old Taoist priest of the Taoist temple personally made it and it's the most effective.”

"8,000 yuan for one."

"This bundle of yours, at least twenty to thirty, is worth more than two hundred thousand.”

Hearing this price, Yang Shou's expression was casual as he placed the incense on the candle.

The flame was bright, but it was unable to ignite the incense in his hand.

He shrugged and said helplessly,"

"I wanted to prove my financial ability.”

"But there's a problem with this batch of incense."

"What a pity."

The middle-aged couple was shocked by Yang Shou. After all, no matter how rich they were, they had never thought of burning 200,000 yuan.

However, when they saw this situation, the two of them came to a realization.

"So you knew there was something wrong with the incense."

"You're trying to scare us."

The woman even mocked,"A rich man with an unlit incense?" Who wouldn't?"

She snatched the Dao Pattern Incense from Yang Shou's hand and placed it on the candle flame with a sneer.

"You see…"

With a boom, the fire rose.

As expected of a good incense that cost 8,000 yuan each. It burned vigorously.

The woman's face turned pale and she quickly threw the incense on the ground.

However, it just so happened that the young Taoist priest had already walked out of the backyard. When he saw the Dao pattern incense scattered all over the ground, he, who was originally a little sad, was pleasantly surprised.

"You two scholars really take care of the temple. This bundle of Dao-pattern incense is exactly thirty sticks.”

"Please wait for a moment. I'll take you to the Merit Box later.”

"This…"

The middle-aged couple wanted to explain, but they didn't know what to say.

They saw with their own eyes that Yang Shou couldn't light the incense, so they felt relieved and went to light it.

"What method did this guy use to trick us!”

The two of them looked at each other and gritted their teeth in hatred.

The old Taoist temple was very famous. They did not dare to renege on their debts, so they could only break their gums and swallow it.

However, when they noticed the talisman that the Daoist priest took out, the two of them were shocked.

That thick stack of yellow talisman papers had at least a hundred or eighty pieces.

As long as this was handed over to the devotee, the devotee would have to buy it even if he did not want to!

"You dare to trick us, and you dare to trick the Taoist temple?”

The middle-aged couple's faces turned red, but they felt a little relieved.

Yang Shou looked at the talisman with a strange expression on his face. He asked,

"How much are these talismans?"

The young Taoist priest forced a smile.

"Scholar, you must be joking."

"It's our fortune that you came to our Daoist temple.”

"These are all for you. They're free.”
