Chapter 188: Chapter 187: The Little Ancestor Is Here to Sell Qingping Temple. Daoist Qingyuan felt like he was about to pluck all the hair off his head. He just couldn’t understand where their temple’s little ancestor Qin Liuxi had found someone like Mu Xi, such a troublesome star. He was too difficult to serve. One day he’s one way, the next day another, even the birds on the back mountain flap their wings and fly away upon seeing him, afraid of becoming roasted birds. And his carefully nurtured juniper orchids lost all their leaves. If their ancestor, Qin Liuxi, doesn’t come to take this troublesome star away soon, he... he would do the same as his master and run away from the temple! “Daoist, Daoist...” Bang! Daoist Qingyuan glanced at the door, which had been kicked so many times it was barely standing, murmured his Daoist name silently, Blessings to the Infinite. If he had any karmic obstacles, let it be quick, no need to abuse his door like this. Door: Countless footprints, worrying life expectancy. Mu Xi appeared in front of the door, seeing Daoist Qingyuan kneeling in front of a small table, “heh,” he said, “Young Master knew you’d be hiding out here, god stick. Speak up, where’s that little god stick hiding, when’s he coming?” Daoist Qingyuan stood up, clasped his hands in respect, and said, “Good person, you’re a noble-born Young Master Heir, a cultured person. This door, could you perhaps spare it, stop kicking it? It can’t take your precious kicks anymore!” Mu Xi glanced at the door and lifted his chin, “Just a door, how much could it be worth? If it breaks, Young Master will pay for it. Tell me where that little god stick is hiding, and I’d replace every door in your Daoist Temple with new ones.” Daoist Qingyuan’s eyelid twitched, “This Taoist isn’t that kind of Taoist...” “Young Master notices that the god statues in your side halls look quite old. How about crafting some new ones? Gold or bronze?” Mu Xi said, hands behind his back. Daoist Qingyuan tried to calm his pounding heart, pretending to be reserved, “There’s a saying, a gentleman doesn’t partake of food that comes uninvited; you have yet to show proof...” Mu Xi, hearing him say so, “Shuangquan, bring the silver.” Shuangquan immediately took out five hundred-tael silver notes from his sleeve and handed them over. Daoist Qingyuan’s hand clutching the silver note immediately burst into a smile, “Are you looking to donate some incense oil? Please, this way to the grand hall?” Shuangquan didn’t let go, and said, “The incense oil has been added. Where is that little Taoist? Daoist, surely you can now inform our Young Master Heir somewhat.” Daoist Qingyuan, with a beaming smile, said, “Rest assured, the Grandmaster will surely fulfill the good person’s prayers, and you will soon get your wish.” Little ancestors and the like are all for selling. Mu Xi sneered, “You’d better not be lying to me, otherwise, Young Master can flatten this whole Qingping Temple.” Daoist Qingyuan kept his smile, thinking to himself that Mu Xi was covered in talismans and magic artifacts ensuring his safety, and dared to spout such big talk? Was he not afraid of losing their effectiveness in front of the Grandmaster? But they just donated quite a bit of incense oil. All things considered for the incense oil, for the grand ambition of making Qingping Temple the number one temple in the world, he’d endure it. After the little ancestor arrives, let’s see if he can still act so tough! That’s the real Evil God! Daoist Qingyuan’s face twisted into a sleazy grin, his Eight Diagram goatee trembling. Mu Xi caught a glimpse unintentionally, and felt a chill down his spine. Damn it, is this lousy temple haunted? ... Qin Liuxi peeked her head out and looked towards the Daoist Temple on the mountain, her eyes half-closed, feeling that something wasn’t right, as if she had been set up. Yu Changkong also looked out, his eyes now able to see the light again, and everything he saw felt fresh. Even the light didn’t feel glaring to his eyes. Seeing light again wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be. He looked at Qin Liuxi, the gentle golden light lingering around her was even more dazzling, making her face seem as though it were plated with light. This eye, it might as well not be sealed. “Hmm?” Qin Liuxi looked over and asked, “What did you say?” Yu Changkong was stunned. Had he spoken out loud? “I just feel that an eye that can see what ordinary people cannot is better left unsealed.” Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow slightly: “On this journey, you have seen quite a few soul bodies. Aren’t you afraid?” Yu Changkong shook his head: “Not nearly as terrible as the human heart.” Qin Liuxi smiled, agreeing with this statement. “In fact, the most terrifying thing is to watch helplessly as your parents are killed right before your eyes, which is scarier than seeing tens of thousands of resentful ghosts,” Yu Changkong said gravely. Qin Liuxi replied, “I won’t tell you that the past cannot be pursued. Since there is resentment, it must be settled.” “Fortunately, you are not like the Buddhists who say ‘an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind’, and that one should let go of hatred and so on.” Qin Liuxi scoffed: “I am a person who believes in karma; I also ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’ It’s my nature, so how could I have the face to advise others to let go? Don’t advise others to be kind without having experienced their suffering. Just be good yourself.” Yu Changkong smiled lightly: “That’s very good.” “If you’re not going to seal your eye, you need to control your emotions well. Don’t let those ghosts notice that you can see them. Otherwise, even if they can’t possess you, they can still cling to you, which would be troublesome.” Some ghosts don’t necessarily want to possess a body; maybe some are seeking help? Yu Changkong’s eyebrows twitched slightly: “I’ve been blind for ten years, I know how to pretend to be blind. But as you said, if they discover me and cling to me, it will be troublesome after all. So, are there any Spell Scriptures to fend them off?” “Do you want to learn?” Yu Changkong clasped his hands and said: “Please bestow your teaching, Xiao Qin.” “If I teach you, then you will become a layman of our Qingping Temple.” Yu Changkong nodded with a smile: “Being a layman of a genuine Daoist temple like this is no loss.” Qin Liuxi said pretentiously: “You have a keen eye. Rest assured, once you become a layman of our Qingping Temple, the temple will take care of you.” “Good.” “Right now, let’s deal with this trouble first.” Qin Liuxi had already seen the gate of Qingping Temple and immediately identified where Mu Xi’s Hidden Guards were ambushed. Yu Changkong looked at the Qingping Temple situated halfway up the mountain and surveyed the surroundings, calculating the positions in his mind, and a three-dimensional Five Elements Eight Diagram unfolded in his brain. “May I ask boldly, does Qingping Temple have an Array?” Qin Liuxi was a bit surprised: “You can see it?” She paused and then added, “Right, Yu Family’s Changkong is a prodigious talent, you must have hunted knowledge in arrays too.” Yu Changkong replied: “I know a little; it was taught by my father when I was a child. It’s not refined, but looking at the layout and surrounding landscape of the Daoist Temple, it vaguely resembles a Five Elements Eight Diagram. However, it might just be my mistake.” “You’re not mistaken, it is a Five Elements Eight Diagram. And within this diagram, there is a Mountain Protection Array, the Nine Star Mysterious Array, which not only nurtures the temple but also protects the local land and water.” “The Nine Star Mysterious Array? What are its mysterious aspects?” “If there’s a natural disaster or war, once the array is activated, it can protect everyone within the temple from harm for three months,” Qin Liuxi replied proudly. Yu Changkong’s pupils shrank with astonishment. It can protect for three months, so powerful? If what Qin Liuxi said was true, then this mystical deployment was more formidable than he had imagined; no, she wouldn’t lie! Excitement flickered in Yu Changkong’s eyes. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, a fiery red figure jumped out. “Ha, Daoist Qingyuan that old God Stick indeed didn’t take young master’s silver in vain; this little god stick really showed up!” Qin Liuxi: “...” The premonition really wasn’t false; sold out!
