Chapter 34 Strange

Liu Jiao frowned and thought for a while: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xin made a gesture and continued walking slowly forward. Liu Jiao quickly followed, feeling her heart start to beat loudly.

"Didn't I tell you that before we got married, I met an immortal master?"

"...Master, are you serious? I thought you were bluffing me?"

"Well, that immortal master wanted to accept me as his apprentice, but after following him for two months, he said that I was not qualified and left." Chen Xin sighed, "Don't interrupt, just listen to me." explain--"

"That man thought that I was quite smart and kept me by his side. When I was young, you also know that I had bad health and bones. The immortal master said that I couldn't practice cultivation because I was like that, and I had to have some repairs done first. I ate well during those days, and I didn’t feel sick after eating meat every day. I followed him like this for a month, and he said that now that I have a good foundation and am young, I can try to replenish my innate energy.”

"He gave me something to eat. It looked like black earth dregs. I mixed it with wine and drank it every day. He said that the thing was elixir dregs and could replenish spiritual energy, so I drank it. How do you say that thing? What is it compared to? The medicine works. Once you drink it, you feel like you have endless energy all day long——"

Liu Jiao groaned: "If you say so..."

"By the way. Are you feeling better now? Do you feel more comfortable after Zhao Qi came to our house? I see that your asthma is much better these days. Let me tell you, it should be the food that Zhao Qi gives to our family. There's a pill in it Zig. I've seen him have that thing. Didn't he raise a big rooster in the backyard? He doesn't want you to feed it. He only feeds it. The taste of the pill slag is bland and you two can't eat it. I still don't want you to feed it. Remember clearly, it smells a little like medicine——"

"Then... Taoist Zhao is still a nice guy? No, he's not that kind of person, isn't he?"

"Yes. I thought he was cold-faced and warm-hearted at first, but later I thought he was not such a person. But I didn't mention it, because there is no harm in eating it. I have been slowly thinking about Zhao over the past few days. What do you want to do?" Chen Xin slowly shook his head, "This is the first time that our family worships Qi Refiners, but I have also heard about the Qi Refiners worshiped in other towns. "

"Practice requires money for people like us. In a place like ours, it is common practice for people to sit in one place, accept offerings from the master's family, keep the place safe, and stay there for a few years or more than ten years to slowly practice practice. But. Think about it, this person in our family is very particular about food, clothing and housing, but he hasn’t mentioned anything extra after being here for so long. He didn't ask for any precious offerings from us, so he just asked for tiger bones, and he wanted them urgently. You see, his backpack is still hanging on the wall in his room, he is ready to leave at any time. It seems to me that he has no intention of staying in Jinshui. Then, why is he here? "

Liu Jiao frowned: "He...he..."

He hit Chen Xin on the shoulder again: "You really said that?"

"I was thinking about it too. I didn't understand it before, and I didn't want you to worry in vain. Today, please help me think about it - he accepted the kid as his apprentice yesterday and said he looked smart and clever. But you also know He is a proud and arrogant person, so why would he just accept a disciple? I feel that even if he really wanted someone to serve him intelligently, he would first try to be a servant or something to sharpen his character. . But I just closed it in a hurry."

"As soon as I accepted the apprentice, I felt something was wrong when we were eating today. We were not given any pill dregs anymore. I thought that what he fed us before..." Chen Xin slowly breathed out, "Maybe They think it’s useful to take us.”

These five words "use us" made both of them feel chilly in their hearts. After a moment of silence, Chen Xin took Liu Jiao's hand and continued: "If I'm not wrong, he should use that child now. Think about it again after he came to our place, he didn't ask for anything , but what did you ask us to do?”

"First we were asked to renovate the Kitchen God Temple and reshape its image. Then we were told that some houses were blocking the feng shui and were asked to demolish them. We didn't know what we were doing in private. I didn't learn from that immortal master back then. What's the matter? I heard him say something else. Zhao Qi said he was. From the Ranshan sect, if he didn’t hide it from us, I remember that all these sects offer sacrifices to Lord Donghuang. How could he care about the Zaowang Temple here? I thought about it over and over again, thinking about the big rooster he raised. , Tiger Bone, now I feel... he may be trying to do some ritual."

Liu Jiao's hands clenched tightly: "What ritual?"

"Then I don't know." Chen Xin sighed, "Why should I keep that child at home for dinner today? I just wanted to ask him. But the child was also strict, so I didn't ask anything. Just because Well, I say this kid is not good. Zhao Qi doesn't need us now, but he is interested in him. It won't be a good thing if Zhao Qi is so sneaky. We can't get involved anymore. "

Liu Jiao grabbed him: "Then let's not push him into the fire pit!"

Chen Xin shook his head and sighed: "Is it us? A few days ago, this kid went to our shop by himself to show off. Don't you understand what he was thinking? I thought, what he said must be true. Yes, I have thought about it. I don’t want any wealth or wealth anymore. I know there is an immortal master in the town and I want to become a disciple in a place as big as Jinshui. If I don’t ask Zhao Qi, he will find Zhao Qi himself in a few days. , or Zhao Qi finds him himself, the situation will still be the same as today."

"Alas, I also think he is a good kid. I am not... Let me put it this way, I think, Xiuxiu is fascinated by him, so let Xiuxiu go to him more often and get closer to us. Let's keep an eye on Zhao Qi and drag the tiger bone thing, and see if we can get anything out of him. If Zhao Qi wants to do something bad, it is not only to help us, but also to help him."

Liu Jiao took a few breaths and lowered her voice: "If there is really a disaster, the head of the family, there are more than 40 people in our family, rush into the house and chop him up."

Chen Xin nodded: "As I said, these Qigong practitioners will also grow old, get sick and die. , if it really comes to that, we are not afraid of him. But he has a proper master... Well, if we can avoid making a big deal, losing some money, hurting some people, and sending him away properly, that would be the best. "

The two walked in silence for a while, and Liu Jiao sighed: "We have lived a good life for a few years, there are no evil spirits, no monsters, and finally we have to deal with this... Well, I know, you don't have to say it, our Jinshui is still peaceful and healthy. You said that these people will die anyway, why do we need to cultivate immortality? I heard that those people in the Dharma Sect have become unrecognizable, so why bother. "

Chen Xin shook her hand: "Let's live our lives well. "
