Chapter 5 So I'm a second-class magician

The next morning, Qi Yue went down the mountain without breakfast.

The environment on Mount Emei is quiet, with green pines and cypresses and green grass. Birds and cicadas are singing from time to time in the forest. Occasionally, squirrels or rabbits can be seen appearing in the forest.

"The king asked me to patrol the mountain..." Qi Yue, who was worried about how to develop the sect, was in a better mood. He walked and admired the scenery in the forest. He kept shouting the tunes of his previous life from time to time, looking quite happy.

Suddenly, a tiger roar that shook the forest from afar came, "Damn, this is a monster. It's so unlucky. I can't afford to offend you, but I can't hide." A burst of tinnitus scared Qi Yue so much that he quickly pinched the magic trick and hid his body against a tree beside him.

After waiting for a while, when there was no movement, Qi Yue appeared and patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, why are you yelling twice? You don't have a golden throat for you to eat." In this forest, Qi Yue dared not relax at all. There are many crises in Shushan, and there is no way to save your life and travel safely.

This time, Qi Yue had no choice but to go out of the mountain. First, inspect the surrounding environment of the sect. After all, if you want to open the mountain gate here in the future, you must be familiar with your own door.

Second, the sect is in short supply, so Qi Yue plans to prepare some wild game in the mountains, pick some herbs and get them outside to exchange for some money and food. The resources in the mountains are quite rich.

Three, there are only three little Taoist priests in Qi Yue. As the saying goes, three and... Well, three Taoist priests drink cold water. Only more Taoist priests and more sects can make themselves, the leader, eat and drink warm. It is necessary to find a few disciples as coolies and is an important policy for the development of the sect.

It was Qi Yue who relied on his own practice of Mushi Trace before he dared to go down the mountain. If he encountered a monster, could he still run away if he could not defeat it? Mushi Trace's stealth ability is the most suitable in this mountain forest.

In this way, Qi Yue stopped and stopped, and used wood and stone to hide his body whenever there was any movement. In conjunction with the method of slavery and spiritual practice passed down by Master Qi, Qi Yue did not encounter any crisis along the way. In just a long time, Qi Yue crossed several mountains and left the area of ​​Shushan to reach the small town on the east side of Shushan, Cuiping Town.

Every month on the 15th day of the lunar month, it is the day when Cuiping Town goes to the market. The people in the surrounding villages come, which is very lively. Qi Yue went down the mountain today, just in time to catch up with this market.

When he came to Cuiping Town, it was almost noon, but there were still people coming and going in the market, and the business was booming. People saw Qi Yue, and they were a little disgusted.

This town is located at the foot of the mountain belonging to the Dongyue Sect. Influenced by the Dongyue Sect, the people also advocate Taoism. As a Taoist priest, Qi Yue will not be disgusting, but today is different. Qi Yue hid in a hiding place with wood and stone for a whole morning, hid by the stone holding a green bark tree, making his whole body dirty. Of course, others have to hide from him.

However, Qi Yue didn't care. He lifted the burden behind him. This was his harvest all morning, which contained some medicinal materials such as Polygonatum he picked along the way.

Qi Yue first went to the medicinal materials store to exchange for the medicinal materials for more than ten taels of silver, then went to the tailor's house to spend five taels to make a few Taoist clothes, dressed up more decently, and asked the tailor's shop to prepare a few things. Then he went to a noodle shop, ordered a few side dishes, and had a full meal.

"It's right not to eat in the morning. This meal is the most enjoyable thing I have these days." Qi Yue patted his stomach with satisfaction, finally stretched and got up and left, "I'm full, it's time to work."

When I returned to the tailor's shop, I took out a bamboo pole prepared by the shop, a piece of white cloth and a compass, and saw the word "风" embroidered on it, and then put it on with the bamboo pole. With the Taoist robe that Qi Yuexin wore, it looked like a charlatan.

In this way, Qi Yue held a bamboo pole and a compass in his hand and walked towards the market. He turned around, looking for a good place. When he walked to the center of the street, he suddenly saw two Taoist priests setting up a stall and telling fortunes there.

"I met my colleagues."

These two Taoist priests were telling fortunes. The two Taoist priests were sitting there, and there were no onlookers around. They basically passed by and paused for a while, then turned around and left.

Qi Yue smiled slightly. Since ancient times, charlatans have been divided into three levels. The first level is those who refine alchemy and treasures. Not to mention the kings in ancient times, not to mention the efforts of the whole country to refine the immortal pills, but to say that the rich people are now fanatically pursuing the magical tools of the holy monks of the ancient temples. These charlatans are all for people to be worshipped and only get the most money, but also the most convinced by ordinary people in the world.

The second level is Feng Shui masters. This type of genius is also very popular and pursued by ordinary people in the world. Both ancient and modern people believe in Feng Shui. Those who invite people to see Feng Shui are rich people with a large amount of real estate, and the money and profits of making rich people will not be less.

The third grade is the fortune teller who set up a stall on the street. Of course, there are many people who are really proficient in the "Book of Changes" and can calculate the secrets of heaven, but there are also many people who are just a substitute for the numbers. The results of fortune telling are also the easiest to be tested. They are not as illusory as Feng Shui, nor are they the most fanatical persistence deep in the hearts of ordinary people in the world. Therefore, as the more mistakes in fortune telling results are, people become more distrustful of fortune tellers. Just like in "Journey to the West", even the Dragon King of Jinghe, who is a god, has some doubts about Yuan Shoucheng's ability. Moreover, the fortune teller's profits from each hexagram are not much.

For Qi Yue, who wants to be a charlatan, he naturally needs to make as much money as possible. He can't make alchemy and treasures, and fortune telling is the third-class one and can't make money, so he can only choose a second-class Feng Shui master. Although he doesn't know how to read Feng Shui, as a cultivator, he can still feel where there is sufficient spiritual energy and where there is Yin energy.

The two Taoist priests were worried when they saw that the sun was noon and they didn't earn a single copper coin.

This Taoist priest is not old, and seems to be less than twenty years old. He has a pretty eyebrows and eyes. He holds a compass and a bamboo pole in his hand. He knows he is a fellow traveler at a glance.

The two Taoist priests looked at each other and seemed a little frightened. One of them bowed his right hand, bent his index finger (including the meaning of transforming one qi into the Three Pure One), raised it to his chest, and said, "Wuliang Tianzun, this is the junior brother of the Dongyue Sect. I wonder if he has something to do with me?" It turned out that when they came to Cuiping Town to set up a stall, they had heard that this was the territory of the Dongyue Sect. The Dongyue Sect had restrictions on the Taoist priests who came to Cuiping Town. If there was a Taoist priest here, they would have to pay a fee, but now they have not earned half a copper coin in the past half day. When they saw Qi Yue, they might be looking for trouble, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

The Taoist priest on the opposite side suddenly smiled and said to him: "I am not from the Dongyue Sect, I just saw that you two have been there for half a day, but no one has visited you."

When the two Taoist priests from Youfang heard that the other party was not sent by Dongyue to find trouble, the two Taoist priests of the Youfang sighed and said, "Oh, what this junior brother said is, what I learned is the Tianyan magic technique of Zhenzong. It is just that people are confused by those liars and do not recognize me Taoist magic technique. They have not been divined for a long time, and they have not settled for the next meal."

Qi Yue simply came to the two of them and said to them: "Two senior brothers, how about we discuss?"

"What are you going to do?" The two of them were a little wary.

"Don't be nervous, this is fine. I think the location you chose is still good. I'd just change me to set up a stall and you can stand up and cheer for me. What if I get the copper plate, half of us will be there, what do you think?"

One of the Taoist priests who were about thirty years older thought for a moment: "This junior brother, this is not good. We just watched and took half of the copper plate, which would be unfair to you."

Qi Yue nodded secretly. These two Taoist priests are of good character, and judging from their appearance, they may have real skills in their calculations. It seems that their plans need to be changed.

"Just say that, maybe I can't make any money." Qi Yue sat down carelessly, and the two Taoist priests had to stand beside Qi Yue, one left and one right.

In fact, they were not very convinced. They carefully studied and calculated that they were very popular in the original small town. If they hadn't recently calculated that they had some opportunity here, they wouldn't have gone to this remote town to be exploited by the Dongyue Sect. How great can this Taoist priest who is younger than them have? He dares to say that he can earn money.

However, as soon as the three of them stood in their positions, they saw a rich man coming over...
