After a short time, the carriage stopped in front of a small Taoist temple. It was a bit dilapidated, but the front door was cleaned very clean.

"Xiao Daoist, this is here. The door is not completely closed. There should be someone inside."

The old coachman said.

Xu Ce and Ye Qian got out of the carriage, bowed their hands to the old coachman again, and said:

"Thank you for seeing me off all the way, old man, let's say goodbye today."

"Xiao Daoist, when you finish your work, you must come to the little old man's house for a sit down."

"sure."

The sound of the wheels of the carriage sounded again, and the old coachman drove away.

"What are we doing here? Take me to eat delicious food!"

Ye Qian said.

"Just know how to eat, don't worry, do business first."

Xu Ce scratched the bridge of Ye Qian's nose and said with a smile.

"Do business? What else can you do?"

Ye Qian couldn't believe it, this guy had a conversation with the old coachman earlier, obviously he didn't know the master of this Taoist temple at all, okay?

Xu Ce said with a smile:

"Before we encountered bandits, the person who performed the Gu technique was very clever. If you hadn't sensed it and told me, you would have almost concealed me.

Xiaoqian, don't you wonder who did it? "

Ye Qian looked at Xu Ce with disdain, and said slightly triumphantly:

"Smart? I don't think so."

"Forget it, let's not talk to you about this, let's go and see how this Uncle Quan is doing."

After Xu Ce finished speaking, he knocked on the door.

"Who is it... the door is unlocked, please come in."

There was a voice in the room, a little lazy, but no one came out to receive him.

This Taoist temple belongs to the kind of private Taoist temple, not the public Taoist temple of later generations. Anyone can go to offer incense, but here, one must obtain the consent of the Taoist temple owner before entering.

Xu Ce pushed the door open and walked in. The Taoist temple is not big, and he walked into the main hall after a few steps.

What catches the eye is that under the high beams, there are three statues of Taoist Sanqing, and a big stick of incense is inserted on the incense table, and the smoke is lingering.

And in the courtyard, there were three people, one old and two young, and there was a big fat man among the two young. The food in the Taoist temple was good, and this kind of physique could only appear in wealthy families.

"But it's for incense?"

The older man pointed to the incense next to him and said:

"The incense is next to you, take it yourself."

Xu Ce smiled and cupped his hands and said:

"Shangxiang is second. You must be Uncle Quan. I have something important to ask when I come here this time."

The elder was slightly stunned, and then said:

"It's Pindao, I don't know if you are..."

Xu Ce said:

"Xiaodao Xu Ce, I met Uncle Quan."

Uncle Quan was taken aback again, calling himself Xiaodao, that is to say, the young man in front of him is also a member of the Taoist sect.

"I don't know who the little fellow Taoist is a teacher of, what can I ask?"

"Xiaodao comes from Renjia Town, and he studied under Uncle Jiu."

"Uncle Ninth! Old Ninth!"

A gleam of light flashed in Uncle Quan's eyes. It was a touch of joy. He and Uncle Jiu were disciples of the same generation. When Uncle Jiu opened the 200 million gossip mysterious light array last time, he also received the news and originally planned to go to Renjia Town Help, after all, Jinhe Town is not too far from Renjia Town.

However, Jinhe Town was haunted by ghosts at that time, and I couldn't get away, so I didn't go there in the end.

When the ghost in Jinhe Town was caught, the affairs of Renjia Town had already been dealt with.

"Are you Lao Jiu's disciple?"

Uncle Quan looked happily at Xu Ce, then at the stunning Ye Qian beside him, and said:

"Who is this girl?"

Xu Ce thought about it, and with Ye Qian's current state, if she was his maid, he would probably have to get angry with him again, so he said:

"It's my nephew's concubine, Xiaoqian, I haven't come to see Uncle Quan yet."

Hearing Xu Ce's words, Ye Qian's mind was buzzing immediately, concubine, stinky Taoist priest, what nonsense, why did she become his concubine?

However, Ye Qian did not refute. Instead, deep down in her heart, she was faintly delighted.

Although she hates stinky Taoist priests...

"Xiaoqian has met Uncle Quan."

Ye Qian saluted Uncle Quan.

"Nephew Xu Ce, how is your master Lao Jiu?"

"Reporting to Uncle Quan, Master is fine now, thank you Uncle Quan for caring."

"By the way, you said just now that you are looking for something poor again, but what is it?"

Xu Ce then succinctly described the incident of encountering that bandit on the official forest road.

Hearing that Uncle Quan frowned, he muttered to himself:

"Gu masters are still very powerful Gu masters. In Jinhe Town, it seems that there are no such people."

"No?"

Xu Ce asked.

Uncle Quan nodded, and then said:

"At least Pindao still doesn't know if there is a gu art master hidden in Jinhe Town, nor has anyone been caught in the gu art.

Well, but since my nephew met at this time, I should be more careful.

The sorcery practiced by Gu masters is hard to guard against, so we must be more vigilant. "

"That's right, my nephew also means the same thing."

Xu Ce nodded.

"Abao, Xiaohai, what are you doing there in a daze, why don't you go and make a cup of hot tea for your senior brother."

Seeing them still standing in the courtyard, Uncle Quan said:

"Nephew Xu Ce, let's sit down and talk."

"good."

Xu Ce responded.

"Senior brother Xu Ce, your tea."

Fei Bao held a bowl of tea, put it on the table in front of Xu Ce, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Brother Abao."

While speaking, Xu Ce looked at Fei Bao a few times, pretending to be puzzled and said:

"Junior Brother Abao, has something not going well these days?"

Fei Bao was stunned, scratched his head, looked at his master, Uncle Quan, and smiled, but didn't say anything. After all, Xu Ce just came here, and even though he said he was from the same school, he still didn't know him well. .

Uncle Quan said:

"Nephew Xu Ce is good at facial expressions? I remember Lao Jiu is not good at these."

Xu Ce smiled and said:

"My nephew has nothing to do, so I read some books by myself, and I learned by myself. Master didn't teach me much."

"So that's the case, so it's no wonder, but the nephew can see Abao's complexion at a glance, which is quite impressive."

"Master's uncle praises you."

"Uncle, what happened to Ah Bao..."

While chatting, Uncle Quan sighed and said:

"This bastard, eh, it's not the fault of money, this bastard has a crush on the daughter of Boss Zhu who owns a restaurant in the town, so to speak, he is also a child.

But the dowry that the old man asked for was too high.

As practitioners of my generation, I am pure-hearted and ascetic, relying on the incense in the Taoist temple and occasionally helping the common people in the town with some trivial matters to make a living, where is there any money.

It's okay to live a small life at home, but you can take out so many gifts at once, unless you sell this Taoist temple. "

Xu Ce suddenly realized that it was because of this matter. The issue of the bride price is really a problem. Just like in later generations, because of the bride price, I don’t know how many lovers were separated. Many true loves were tested by the bride price and became unloved. , a proper vice.
