Chapter 9 The Monk

If he hadn't had some savings, he would have lost all his money.

Although the small treasury has shrunk by more than half now.

Fortunately, there are still rewards in hard work.

After you get home, you will test these wild game players. You should have a lot of spiritual energy, and it is more than enough to cast a small spell.

But then again, I have to start agenda in my own practice, it’s all money…

Xiao Ying'er, who was standing beside her, seemed to feel more distressed than him. While holding an umbrella for him, she muttered: "I used this huge amount of money at once... The young lady must ask a few questions."

"It's okay, I'm physically weak and sick. I want to eat some fresh wild game to supplement these days. Maybe I'll be better." Du Bai casually gave an excuse.

He believed that Su Wanmiao, who was the helmsman of the big Su family, would definitely not be stingy with her husband for this mere forty taels of silver. He was more likely to just ask a casual question and didn't continue to pay attention.

After all this, they did not go back immediately. After finally coming out, Du Bai, who rarely felt the charm of another world, asked the servant with a cage to go home first. He took Ying'er around the city for a while, ate some local snacks, and saw the excitement around him. He also bought some small things he liked for Ying'er, which made her eyes turn into a crescent moon.

But it is not a festival after all, and Yuanyang City is not a big city. It is not too lively at this time.

By the window on the second floor of Zuixian Building, Ying'er, with a slightly red face, was drinking a cup of warm sweet bean soup, and said with regret: "Son-in-law, you don't know anything. The Lantern Festival we accompanied the two ladies to visit at the beginning of the year was the lively one. The streets were full of red lanterns, and lion dances and plays, and all kinds of novel and delicious food. By the way, there are scholars and talents like you, you, who recite poems here..."

Speaking of these interesting things, a little longing appeared in her eyes.

When Du Bai heard this, he remembered the stories of the novels in his previous life that curated poems and lyrics that were stunning to everyone. If he had done this, he would have achieved similar results. However, his literary talent was not good, and he only remembered the classics of Li Bai and Du Fu. No matter how many of them were missing, his arms and legs were broken, and it would be ridiculous to say it.

He sighed slightly and turned his eyes to the pedestrians coming and going on the street downstairs.

Furthermore, the world is peaceful and peaceful on the surface, but it is not very peaceful in secret. There are ghosts and gods and evil spirits, but he does not have the intention to read and write poems.

But at this moment, the few figures entering his eyes attracted his attention.

The leader was wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, with narrow eyebrows and eyes, bad faces, and behaviors were quite arrogant and domineering. Then he followed several servants dressed as servants, each carrying a few things in his hand. When the pedestrians met, they were afraid of being able to avoid them.

What caught his attention were a few of these things: "white cat", "black dog", and "round spotted snake". As for the other things covered in black cloth, they thought they were similar.

And these things seem to be the sacrifices needed for the evil altar practice in Du Bai’s knowledge.

When these people passed downstairs, Du Bai asked Ying'er: "Ying'er, do you recognize which mansion do these people below come from?"

"Well?" Ying'er looked at her curiously, "It seems that she is from the Liu family. Their servants are all wearing this outfit."

"Liu Mansion..." Du Bai slowly withdrew his gaze and twisted the teacup as if thinking.

There are three wealthy business families in Yuanyang City, and the Liu Mansion is also one of them.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Downstairs, a servant stepped forward and carefully asked the man in Taoist robe who suddenly stopped and looked left and right.

The man in the Taoist robe had a narrow and long eyes as sharp as a poisonous snake. His fingers hidden under the sleeves were gently twisted, but he frowned, "It seems that someone is spying on this Taoist trait."

Another servant next to him came forward and praised, "Where is a rat who dares to peek at you, Taoist priest. In addition, I don't know what else to prepare for? The master urged him to say that if he delayed, he would like to show his power tonight and practice the magical method..."

"Hmph!" A trace of invisible scarlet flashed in the long narrowed eyes. The tongue as sharp as a snake core licked the lips, and said maliciously, "Let him prepare six virgins for me tonight. As long as I am satisfied, everything will be easy..."

After a trip, I saw that it was not too early. Du Bai called the reluctant little girl and prepared to go home together.

However, when he walked into the Su Mansion, he realized that his family was not very peaceful.

Su Wanmiao, who usually only returns home at night on weekdays, was in the mansion at this time. In addition, the servants seemed to be preparing something. An old monk with white beard and wearing a cassock was sitting in front of the hall, as if he was reciting scriptures.

"My husband, you are back." Su Wanmiao saw his figure and stepped forward to meet him a few steps, but the intimacy of the lover in her eyes was only calm.

"What are you doing?" Du Bai asked. However, there was a vague guess in his heart.

"This is the famous Zen Master Huaisheng outside the city. The family has not been very calm these days, so I asked someone to invite him to come and have a look." Su Wanmiao bit her lip slightly as she spoke, looking a little helpless.

If this continues to haunt, I am afraid that the family will be dispersed. After thinking about it, she felt that it would be necessary for professionals to deal with it.

The temple where Zen Master Huaisheng is located is very effective. Many high-ranking officials and nobles will ask for a visa during the holidays to achieve a prosperous official career and a prosperous fortune. They will deal with it. I believe that even if there are really some monsters and monsters at work, they will not be able to escape this disaster and their families can calm down.

As for the incense money paid for this, it is a trivial matter compared to the peace of the family.

Du Bai nodded. If this Zen master was really capable, he might have spent less effort.

"By the way, my husband, I heard from my servants that how many wild game you bought?" Su Wanmiao asked casually.

Du Bai suddenly felt nervous, as if a spendthrift husband used the money he earned from his wife to gamble and lost all the time. After going home and facing his wife's questioning, he felt guilty in his heart.

Bah, bah, we are doing serious things, this metaphor is too inappropriate!

He pretended to be calm and said lightly: "Well. I heard that wild game nourishes the body, I want to taste it."

Su Wanmiao didn't care about this little money, but just smiled and said: "Then my husband should be careful. A few days ago, I heard someone say that a family happened to catch a big snake and slaughtered it. Unexpectedly, the snake venom still exists. If it weren't for the doctor's skillful move, it would almost cause death. If my husband wanted to replenish his body, there were a few boxes of century-old ginseng sent by other merchants a few years ago. I could ask my servants to stew a bowl of ginseng soup for you later..."

The two spoke quite intimately, and the uninformed others seemed to be like a loving couple who were inseparable.
