Chapter 26. Taoist Priest Who Reads the Fortune
"unlucky!"

"That monster turned out to be a ghost weapon?!"

The warrior named Liu tracked the monster until dawn before returning to Shazhu Village. When he heard the true whereabouts of the monster from Xu Qing, he was filled with anger.

"I lose this time, bye!"

The warrior named Liu was straightforward.

The scene as Xu Qing had imagined, where the monster got angry and started to snatch the monster, did not appear.

Fortunately, the village chief was a good person. He took out some money and gave it to the warrior named Liu, saying it was the reward for his hard work in making the trip. This made the warrior named Liu feel much better.

"Let's go back to the mountain."

After the matter was settled, Xu Qing and the other two did not delay any further and returned to the Taoist temple.

First, they handed over the dispatch affairs in the Deacon Hall, and instructed the deacons to inform the government that there might be follow-up matters to be dealt with in Shazhu Village. Then the three of them distributed the Taoist merits they had obtained this time.

Because Fatty Li and Chen Ziming felt that they did not contribute much in this incident, they each only took one share of the eight Taoist merits obtained from this mission.

The remaining six all belonged to Xu Qing.

Unfortunately, it takes ten times of effort to exchange for a blood-nourishing pill.

These six skills have no effect on Xu Qing for the time being.

Next, Xu Qing continued his fulfilling life of practice.

However, compared to the previous few months, Xu Qing has undergone several changes.

First, he would take some time every day to study and make magic talismans, and he had accumulated no less than twenty yellow talismans with different functions;

Second, he was now a disciple of the Chuan Dao, so he didn't need Chen Jingxin to lead him. He could go to the back mountain to find monsters to practice on his own. Sometimes, when he felt too quiet, he would go to the back mountain to walk around and exercise.
Thirdly, his master found him a job in the main hall in the front mountain, entertaining pilgrims and interpreting divinations.

Xu Qing doesn't know how to tell fortunes by looking at faces.

But he is good-looking and sweet-spoken, and he only says nice things.

If you meet a pretty girl, you will praise her for her beauty and kindness. If you meet an average-looking girl, you will praise her for her inner qualities. If you meet an old lady or an old man, you will talk about the blessing of having children.

When I meet an old pervert, I will use my experience of watching movies in my previous life to shock him with some stories like ice and fire, monster role playing, black silk increasing attack speed, etc.
In addition, his eyes can "observe Qi". Although he cannot see the changes in a person's fortune, he can still see something through the changes in the "Qi" in a person.

So what he said was not completely nonsense, but had a point. As a result, he became the most popular Taoist priest who interpreted fortunes in the temple.

The other disciples in the front mountain hall couldn't help but feel jealous when watching this.

But who can blame him for being the headmaster's disciple? In terms of seniority, some disciples who are ten or twenty years older than him have to call him "Junior Uncle".

How dare I go up and say anything?

This day.

The sun is hanging in the sky and the breeze is cool.

Xu Qing collected the copper coins given by the pilgrims, stretched his body, and then said to the pilgrim who was walking towards him with a bamboo stick:

"Sorry, sorry, the trail is closed."

In other words.

he is off from get off work.

Don't bother him anymore.

Neither the boss nor the customers can do it!

Xu Qing works as a Taoist priest for one to two hours in the morning. After all, his main focus now is on spiritual practice.

After collecting his things, Xu Qing walked towards the canteen with a few copper coins in his hand.

This job of interpreting fortunes is a good way to make money. Just by sitting there and talking, you can earn hundreds of coins in an hour or two.

It is equivalent to what his family earns from farming for several months.

He took the money he had earned as a Taoist fortune teller in recent days and asked Fatty Li to send them back home when he came down the mountain, along with a letter informing his family of his current situation.

With this money, life will be much better for Xu's father and mother.

In the letter, he also informed his parents and asked them to be prepared. He would bring them over after some time had been arranged.

After offering sacrifices to the five internal organs in the dining hall, he returned to his own small courtyard to continue his daily practice.

Before practicing, Xu Qing planned to study more uses of the twelve guardian gods in his mind.

When dealing with the monkey monster before, the Jiazi divine arm condensed in the air was a use that Xu Qing had figured out during this period of time.

This method of condensing only the arm can save a lot of energy consumption compared to directly summoning the entire Dharma image, and the duration that can be maintained can also be greatly prolonged.

According to calculations, if he releases two guardian deities at the same time, he can probably only hold out for sixty breaths. If he only releases one, he can hold out for one hundred and twenty breaths.

The Dharma image is not complete, only two arms are manifested, and the time can be extended to one incense stick time (5 minutes).

Closer to home.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and collected the messy thoughts in his mind, leaving only one -

Since it is possible to make a single arm appear, what about the weapon of the guardian deity?

This is what Xu Qing wanted to try today.

He spread out his palms, imagined the long-handled heavy axe in the hands of Jiazi God, and tried to materialize it in his hands.

I have had experience with only one arm appearing before.

Xu Qing quickly mastered some tricks.

The essence in the body continued to surge and gather towards the palm. At the same time, the Qi and Tao rhyme circulating between heaven and earth were also rushing towards the palm.

As a ray of light emerged, it then stretched and deformed to the left and right little by little, and a long-handled heavy axe that seemed to be made of black iron gradually appeared in Xu Qing's palm.

A flash of joy flashed across Xu Qing's face.

Continue to keep your mind focused and persevere until the long-handled heavy axe is completely formed.

"call"

After the long-handled heavy axe was completely formed, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the heavy axe in his hand, which was glowing with light and looked no different from a real weapon, he tried to swing it gently.

moment.

There was a strong wind and the sound of tearing cloth suddenly occurred.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard suffered instantly and were bent under the weight.

Xu Qing's eyes were filled with joy when he saw this: "It's not an ordinary weapon, its sharpness is comparable to some low-grade magic weapons. It seems that I don't need to worry too much about magic weapons in the future!"

Magical instruments are divided into three grades: high, medium and low. Above the magical instruments are magic treasures.

There is also the concept of Taoist instruments, but Taoist instruments are instruments used by a person to achieve enlightenment. This is a special case, so it is not included in the levels.

Thinking that the twelve guardian gods had at least twelve weapons, Xu Qing's mood became surprisingly good.

after that.

He then tried to materialize the Ruyi Trident of Dingchou God and the sword on the waist of Jiazi God separately.

slowly.

He was unfamiliar with it at the beginning and needed to concentrate a lot of time and energy to materialize the divine weapon. Now, as long as Xu Qing thought about it, the divine weapon would materialize in his palm.

"Not bad, you actually thought of a way to only materialize weapons to reduce consumption."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the eaves above.

Xu Qing was startled and immediately looked up. He relaxed when he saw the source of the sound.

"Jin Hujun? Why are you here in my courtyard? Does the master want to see me for something?"

His master Qingxu Taoist and Jinhu Jun already knew that he was born with the Six Ding and Six Jia Dharma Appearances, so even if Xu Qing's cards were seen through, he was not too panicked.

"Can't I come to your place if I'm fine?"

Jin Hujun rolled his eyes and jumped off the roof lightly.

"But I'm not here to see you for nothing. Come on, follow me to the back mountain."
