"What a heavy snow!"

Looking at the white mountain peaks around him, Mo He got up early and shivered, and sighed.

Now it is almost the end of the year. It was snowing last night. It was still not stopped until now. Now it is already a vast white area outside. The surrounding mountains are covered with a layer of white snowflakes, which is very beautiful at first glance.

Enduring the cold outside, Mo He started his new morning class. After practicing boxing, the spiritual energy in his body moved all over his body. The coldness seemed to fade away immediately, but instead he felt that his body was warm.

"I didn't expect that practicing boxing can keep the cold!"

After cultivating spiritual energy in his body, he finally had some substantial benefits for himself, which could help him resist the cold. Mo He felt that he could not be affected by the cold in this cold winter in the life of Qingmei Temple in Wangyue Mountain.

After Mo He finished his subjects he practiced in the morning, it was time for Taoist Qingmei to teach again. Seeing that Mo He had been up early and practiced seriously as usual, he did not stop because of the snow outside, Taoist Qingmei felt very relieved.

Just as Principal Qingmei continued to teach Mo He morning class, he suddenly stopped halfway.

When Mo He saw Taoist Qingmei stop giving lectures, he immediately turned his head and turned his eyes to the foot of the mountain. He had had several experiences of halfway through morning classes before, and it was suddenly visited by someone, so Mo He was already a little used to it.

Wangyue Mountain is not tall. At this moment, on the white hillside, you can see several figures slowly walking up the mountain.

"A guest is visiting, and today's morning class ends here!" Looking at the few figures on the hillside, Taoist Qingmei frowned slightly, waved her hand at Mo He, then turned around and walked into the house, and when she came out again, she had already changed her clothes.

When Mo He saw Taoist Qingmei walking out, his clothes are much more solemn than usual.

A green Taoist robe was carefully decorated with gold wire at the collar and sleeves. While maintaining the extraordinary charm of the Taoist robe, it also had a bit of luxury and solemnity. There was also a blue hair crown on top of the head, and a milky white jade was inlaid on it, which looked very extraordinary.

Mo He has never seen Taoist Qingmei dress like this before. If she wears this outfit, it will definitely attract attention.

"It seems that the people who came to Qingmei Temple this time have an extraordinary identity, and the master attaches great importance to their arrival." Seeing Master Qingmei solemnly, Mo He, you immediately guessed that the person who is about to come has an extraordinary identity.

After waiting for a while, several figures approached and came to Qingmei Temple. At this time, Mo He saw clearly the clothes of these people. Several of them were wearing armor, obviously people in the army.

In addition to these military men in armor, there were two people walking in front of them. One looked like a literati with luxurious clothes, and the other was tall with a tiger's back and bear's waist. Although he was not wearing armor, his first impression was that of a powerful general in the army.

"Any Shoucheng, the magistrate of Zi'an County, came to pay homage to Taoist Master Qingmei!"

"Zi'an County Wubei Wangui Mountain, come to pay homage to Taoist Qingmei!"

Almost at the same time, the man dressed in a scribe and the man with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist spoke, and his voice resounded through the quiet forest after the snow.

"You two are rare guests. From the time I came to Zi'an County a year ago to today, we finally met for the second time. If you don't dislike the shabby words of Qingmei Temple, please let me talk in our Taoist temple!" Taoist Qingmei looked at the few people who had already arrived in front of me, and there was no smile on his face. He just reached out to make a call for them, and then turned around and walked into Qingmei Temple, with an attitude of impoliteness.

Mo He looked at all this and his thoughts changed rapidly. From the attitude of his master Taoist Qingmei, it can be seen that the master did not welcome these two people.

These two people had just reported their identities, and they turned out to be the chief officials and military officials of Zi'an County. This is a county. Apart from the county magistrate, the two most powerful people are in charge of military and political affairs respectively.

Now, these two people actually visited Qingmei Temple at the same time. Looking at Taoist Qingmei's attitude, the matter among them is a bit interesting.

"The humble house is simple, and it happens that it is snowing heavily today. There is no tea for this ice pot and cold stove. Please forgive me!" Entering Qingmei Temple, Taoist Master Qingmei didn't even want to give tea to these two people, and said in a very calm tone.

An Shoucheng and Wan Guishan looked at each other and felt a little unhappy. However, a year ago, when Taoist Qingmei came to Zi'an County, they had a bad attitude towards Taoist Qingmei, and they still asked Taoist Qingmei for Taoist Qingmei, so they endured the dislike of Taoist Qingmei.

"Haha, it's okay, that's the new disciple of the Taoist priest. This child looks very smart and clever. I don't know which family he is from, and he can have a good fortune and be a disciple of the Taoist priest?" An Shoucheng smiled indifferently, then glanced at Mo He on the side, and praised casually.

The reason why An Shoucheng praised Mo He was mainly to ease the atmosphere. What they wanted to say next was that Taoist Qingmei needed to help and to show some kindness as much as possible.

"I am just a naughty boy in a mountain village, and I should not be praised by the chief officials." Hearing An Shoucheng praise Mo He, Taoist Qingmei replied in a plain tone.

I remember a year ago, when Taoist Qingmei came to Zi'an County as a Taoist official, he went to the county government office, but was treated coldly. During this year, the county government office had never looked for Taoist Qingmei, and Taoist Qingmei had never received the offerings from Zi'an County.

"You don't have to bend around the bush. It has been more than a year since I settled in Wangyue Mountain. No one from the county government has visited him on weekdays. Today, it's snowing heavily. You two are here together. I guess there must be something important, so you might as well say it out loud!" Looking at An Shoucheng who was still preparing to bend around the bush, Master Qingmei was not interested in playing with him, and said straight to the point.

"Okay, Taoist priest is quick to speak, so we will just say it." After hearing this, Wan Guishan, who was standing by, immediately smiled heartily and directly expressed the purpose of their trip.

"This time I came to disturb the Taoist priest Qing Xiu, it was really a forced one. The matter was actually very simple. I just wanted to invite the Taoist priest to go to Zi'an County to subdue demons." Wan Guishan said.

"Subduing demons, can there be a demon cultivator in the Yin God realm appear in Zi'an County?" When Master Qingmei heard Wan Guishan say the purpose of this trip, he first responded to him.

Wanguishan in front of him, as the martial arts master of Zi'an County, although his martial arts cultivation is only at the level of the Martial Guard, but with the three thousand garrison troops of Zi'an County, and other masters of Zi'an County, and ordinary demon cultivators of the Spirit Realm can be completely defeated by relying on the power of Zi'an County.

"It's not so. This monster is only in the realm of the soul and has not reached the realm of the Yin God. It's just that this monster is very cunning and has been hiding in the water and rarely goes ashore, so we can't do anything about it!" An Shoucheng explained when he heard this.

"So that's it, but in Zi'an County, I am not the only one who can help, and there is also the Taoist Master Songhe who has gained all the trust. His cultivation has also reached the level of soul. Why don't you go to find him?" Taoist Master Qingmei nodded, but did not agree at once, but continued to ask.

Hearing Taoist Qingmei’s question, An Shoucheng smiled bitterly and said, “It’s really not to be hiding it. Taoist Songhe, you have already gone to the immortal!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Taoist Qingmei's face changed immediately and she asked with a serious expression.

"Because of eliminating monsters?"

An Shoucheng nodded, and did not continue to speak, but just glanced at Wan Guishan beside him.

Wan Guishan immediately understood and replaced An Shoucheng and said, "Master Qingmei, this monster is making trouble in Zi'an County. Taoist Songhe, as one of the two Taoist officials in Zi'an County, has gone to eliminate the demons and immortals. Now you are the only one who can subdue this monster. Please ask the Taoist Master to take action."

Taoist Qingmei had not spoken yet. After hearing this, Mo He, who was not far away, had a rough understanding of the purpose of this wave of guests.

"This Wanguishan seems to be a rough person on the outside, but he is quite good at slapping people." Mo He thought to himself.

I have been following Taoist Qingmei for a while. Mo He also has some understanding of the identity of Taoist Qingmei. After all, Taoist Qingmei occasionally goes down the mountain to complete some things like building a nanny in the underworld. These are the responsibilities of Taoist officials.

Simply put, the so-called Taoist official can be understood as a cultivator who was worshipped and recruited by the dynasty. He paid some cultivation resources and hired these cultivators to do some work. The title of Taoist official was just a dynasty for the convenience of his actions.

Accepting the position of Taoist officials of the dynasty can be considered as surrendering to the dynasty. Compared with those with real power, they are relatively freer. Therefore, in the entire dynasty, there are not many cultivators who have taken the position of Taoist officials, most of whom are casual cultivators or small sects with a relatively small inheritance.

Although the constraints are not strong after becoming a Taoist official, there are some responsibilities that need to be fulfilled. The words of Wan Guishan just now were a bit like a squeezing Taoist Qingmei, and he deliberately mentioned that Taoist Songhe, who was also Taoist official, was very obvious.

Look at Taoist Master Songhe, who is also a Taoist official, has already lost his duties as a Taoist official because of eliminating demons and defending the Taoist Dao. Taoist Master Qingmei, who is also a Taoist official, should you also follow Taoist Master Songhe, at least come out of the mountain to subdue demons and perform the following duties.

Taoist Qingmei pondered for a moment, looked at An Shoucheng and Wanguishan in front of her, and suddenly turned to Mo He not far away and shouted: "Disciple, pack up your things and take a walk down the mountain with your master!"

"Yes, master!" Mo He replied quickly.

After giving Mo He instructions, Taoist Qingmei continued to turn around and showed a smile on her face and said, "I have been here in Zi'an County for more than a year and have never received tribute from the dynasty. This time I'm just off the way."
