Chapter 22 Envy
"Young Taoist Priest Yuanliang, don't worry, we won't disturb you from praying for peace!"

When Wang Lin stood up and prepared to leave, he saw Liu Dongzhu still standing there, obviously reluctant to leave. He could probably guess what Liu Dongzhu was thinking and said:
"Dong Zhu, let's go, don't waste the young Taoist priest's time!"

Xuanqing Temple is right next to Hutougou. Ever since Wang Ruhai achieved fame and honor, their family has received benefits such as tax exemption. The whole family is considered wealthy, not only in Hutougou, but also in the surrounding areas.

Whenever she had time during festivals, she would go to Xuanqing Temple to burn a stick of incense, praying for the safety and health of her family, and for Wang Ruhai to pass the imperial examination.

Not long ago.

After Wang Ruhai won the third place in the imperial examination, his whole family went to Xuanqing Temple to fulfill their wish!
Over the years, they are very familiar with every tree and blade of grass in Xuanqing Temple, not to mention the young Taoist priest Yuan Liang.

Naturally, they were not worried that Taoist Yuan Liang was a liar, nor were they worried that Taoist Yuan Liang would endanger the life of their Ping An.

"Ping An, you are here, don't cry, mommy will be back soon!"

Liu Dongzhu looked at Wang Ping'an reluctantly, knowing that Taoist Priest Yuan Liang was reciting prayer scriptures for Wang Ping'an's own good, and then he got up and left.

"You little devil, aren't you the reincarnation of a great man? Why does Master think so highly of you?!"

As soon as Wang Lin and Liu Dongzhu left and the door of the room was closed, Yuan Liang couldn't help but complain.

He knew everything that happened yesterday from the pilgrims' mouths, and he knew that his master dared to kill even the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion for Wang Ping'an.

Because he was worried that this matter might implicate the Wang family, his master traveled all the way to the capital.

Not only was this trip dangerous, but his master also told him to come to the Wang family every day. In addition to reading a prayer scripture for Wang Ping'an, he also had to make sure that Wang Ping'an was safe.

He had followed his master for many years, but this was the first time he saw his master care so much about someone else, and that person was a baby who had just been born.

It's impossible for him to say that he doesn't feel a little jealous!
but.

Yuan Liang quickly suppressed the jealousy in his heart. Apart from the fact that he had practiced Taoism for many years and had achieved some success, when he saw Wang Ping'an's appearance, for some reason, it was difficult for him to feel jealous.

There seemed to be an indescribable affinity revealed from Wang Ping'an's smile!
Yuan Liang said no more, swept the dust off the ground, sat cross-legged casually, and recited prayer scriptures in a low voice.

Wang Ping'an felt a stream of spiritual energy gathering around him, and subconsciously began to practice the "Purple Qi Sutra", which attracted more spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

The effect is countless times stronger than simply practicing the "Purple Qi Sutra"!
It's definitely the effect of one plus one being greater than two!

"Ok?"

Yuan Liang was also a cultivator. Although his cultivation was not high, he had already crossed the threshold of becoming a Qi Refiner. He immediately noticed the abnormality and subconsciously raised his head with wide eyes, staring at Wang Ping'an in the crib, and said in astonishment:

"How can this be?"

This was not the first time he had recited the prayer scripture. He often went down the mountain to recite it for other wealthy guests and knew the effect. However, this was the first time he had seen such a rich spiritual energy gathered all at once.

They swarmed towards Wang Ping'an from all directions and penetrated into his body through the pores all over his body.

A small amount of spiritual energy was consumed by the black cat beside Wang Ping'an.

At this time.

Yuan Liang finally understood why there was a civet cat by Wang Ping'an's side. A civet cat like this that can attract spiritual energy has a keen sense of spiritual energy and can naturally detect anything unusual about Wang Ping'an.

No wonder he was lying next to Wang Ping'an!

It was obvious that he was taking advantage of Wang Ping'an's aura to secretly take advantage of it. Yuan Liang couldn't help but sighed: "No wonder the master values ​​you so much!"

although.

He was still not quite sure what was going on with Wang Ping'an, but the fact that he could trigger abnormal spiritual energy was enough to show that he was a good candidate for cultivation.

His master wanted to leave his name in the history of Taoism, but he had been mediocre all his life, and it was impossible for him to do so himself, so he relied on his apprentice to fulfill his dream. He, as the apprentice, knew this.

He also regarded it as his ultimate goal to make his master's name known in the history of Taoism. However, after practicing for so many years, he knew his own strengths and weaknesses. Unless a miracle happened...

otherwise.

It is almost impossible to expect him to help his master leave a name in the history of Taoism.

It would be surprising if his master didn't go crazy to meet someone like Wang Ping'an, who would very likely make his master's name go down in Taoist history.

"But Master, how can our Xuanqing Temple keep such a good seedling?"

Yuan Liang said self-deprecatingly.

soon.

Yuan Liang put away his complicated emotions, and after his mind regained clarity, he continued to recite the prayer scriptures.

Originally he only wanted to recite the prayer scriptures once, but when he discovered Wang Ping'an's situation, he knew that Wang Ping'an was a good candidate for Taoism and was his master's hope.

If he had not met his master that year, he would have starved to death on the roadside.

He couldn't fulfill his master's dream, but since he met someone who could fulfill his master's dream, he had to help no matter what.

For a moment, Yuan Liang recited the blessing scriptures several times in a row. He stopped only when he was exhausted and the spiritual energy around him was completely consumed. He exhaled heavily, looked up at Wang Pingan and the civet cat lying on the bed, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Yuan Liang envied him and said, "You little devil, you were a good person in your previous life, and you are a good candidate for cultivating the Dao in this life. It is true that good people are rewarded. It seems that I have to do more good deeds. I can't count on you in this life, but in the next life, I must leave my name in history no matter what!"

After saying that, Yuan Liang stood up and prepared to leave. As soon as he opened the door of the room, he saw Liu Dongzhu standing at the door with a worried look on his face. He was about to speak.

Liu Dongzhu said first: "Little Taoist priest, is our family safe and sound?"

"Dong Zhu, look at what you said. You only care about our safety. Didn't you see that the young Taoist priest is sweating profusely? Look how tired the young Taoist priest is!"

Wang Lin said enthusiastically: "Little Taoist priest, the food is ready, let's eat first!"

"Master Wang, my fellow apprentice is still waiting for me in the Taoist temple to go back for dinner!"

Yuan Liang first rejected Wang Lin's kindness, and then said to Liu Dongzhu: "Madam Wang, your son is fine. I will come back to recite the blessing scriptures for another ten days, and the damaged essence will be restored. He will definitely grow up healthy and safe in the future. Don't worry!"

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"

Liu Dongzhu breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the room as quickly as possible. No matter how nice Yuan Liang's words were, he would not listen to them until he saw Wang Ping'an.

She still has some worries in her heart!
Seeing Yuan Liang preparing to leave, Wang Lin quickly said, "Little Taoist priest, this won't do. Before your master left, he asked me to take good care of you. How about this, I'll ask my wife to pack some food and send it to the Taoist temple, and you can eat at my house before going back!"
