Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"The Li Xuan you are talking about should be Li Tieguai, right?" Yu's father asked.

Zhao Qin smiled dryly, "It should be him, uncle, what earth-shattering things has Tieguai Li done?"

"There are many legends about him, such as the Queen Mother of the West gifting him a crutch and a magic gourd, the fight with the fishing tyrant by the Xiang River, and the resurrection of a dead body."

Zhao Qin's heart skipped a beat. The Taoist mentioned Li Xuan's past. Could it be that he was referring to...

Oh my god, this old Taoist is too amazing. Could he tell that I was a time-traveling monster from the first sight?

In an instant, he felt as if he had been stripped naked in front of everyone.

"It's said that Li Xuan's soul left his body and lost his physical body, so he took possession of a beggar who had just starved to death... By the way, Aqin, why are you asking these questions so early in the morning?"

"Nothing... nothing, it's just that my master mentioned Li Xuan's name just now, and I didn't ask him because I was afraid that he would say I was ignorant, hehe." He smiled awkwardly.

Yu's father did not doubt him and scolded him with a smile, "You should read more books and never forget to study at any time."

"Uncle Yu, I understand." Zhao Qin responded and hurried back to his room.

He wanted to get into bed, but he also wanted to run away with his luggage.

This is the only thing buried deep in my heart that I cannot tell others.

It was hard for him to imagine what he would face if everyone knew about it.

After a while, he calmed down and walked out, but he stopped at the door. If he asked his master to keep a secret now, he would probably be spitted in the face.

Besides, he didn't want anyone to see his panic at the moment.

Looking at the two scriptures that fell to the side, he hesitated for a moment, then picked up the Tao Te Ching and read it carefully. He didn't understand the general meaning, but he was able to calm his mind.

He did not read it in its entirety, but only read the first two paragraphs over and over again.

Finally he calmed down and thought it through. He thought that no one else would notice it, otherwise his master would definitely remind him.

Since only the master can see it, there is nothing to worry about.

Old Taoist, are you really a god?

Well, I still have to find a way to trick the Taoist into giving me the peach wood sword. That must be a top-notch item, the kind that can be exchanged for a lot of steamed buns.

"Brother, have you finished reciting the sutra?" Ah He rubbed his eyes in confusion.

"Well, get up. It's time to have breakfast after you move around."

Ah He let out a soft "oh", rolled over, took a deep breath, and quickly got back into bed, "Brother, it's too cold here."

Seeing his cowardly look, Zhao Qin went straight up to him and lifted his quilt, "Wake up, the bell has been ringing for an hour, and the morning class is about to end, why are you still sleeping?"

The Taoist temple's morning service starts at six o'clock, and it's already around seven o'clock.

Seeing Ah He start to put on his clothes, Zhao Qin left the house again. Jiang Bing and his wife just came back from outside, their faces full of joy.

"Brother Bing, what's the good news so early in the morning?"

Tao Fang blushed slightly, and after saying hello, she went into the house. Jiang Bing took out a cigarette and gave it to her. "Just now, the old immortal called us over and examined your sister-in-law. He said she can still have children."

"Oh, that's great."

Jiang Bing has a somewhat strange temperament, but he is still very traditional. He can't be said to be patriarchal, but he just wants a son.

After chatting for a while, knowing that the master was busy, he walked out of the Taoist temple to appreciate the scenery on the mountain.

Standing on a stone, I looked at the trees nearby and the mist in the distance. The next moment, snowflakes were falling. I really am uncultured. Otherwise, I would have to write a poem to describe the artistic conception.

Because it didn't rain beforehand, what was falling now was dry snow. There was no wind in the early morning, and the snowflakes were drifting very slowly.

He shouted loudly into the distance, finally letting out the last bit of fear in his heart.

Back inside the temple, several senior brothers and a group of younger brothers were practicing martial arts, using the Tianshi Fist.

Zhao Qin stood directly at the end of the team and started practicing along. This set of boxing was elegant and agile, with wide opening and closing movements, very stretching and very good for exercising the body.

After finishing a set of punches, he went back to the small courtyard where the Taoist priest was, only to see the Taoist priest scolding someone.

Ah He unbuttoned his down jacket and lifted up his sweater a little. His experienced hands pinched his belly and said, "How could you allow yourself to become a pig at such a young age?"

"Old Immortal, I also work every day. If you don't believe me, ask my brother. I'm not lazy." Ah He felt a little aggrieved.

Over the past year or so, he has indeed gained a lot of weight, which makes him very depressed.

"Have a nice night meal."

Ah He nodded in distress. "It's a bad habit I developed on the boat. I can't sleep well if I don't eat something at night."

The old Taoist asked him to put on his down jacket, smiled and patted him on the head, "Get some jade whiskers, dry them in the sun and soak them in water to drink. Drink this for many years. The accumulation of fat is a manifestation of spleen deficiency and dampness.

So starting today, avoid eating anything raw or cold."

“Can I eat sashimi?”

"What do you think?"

Ah He let out a soft "oh". Of course, the old Taoist's words also deprived him of his midnight snack habit.

Then it was Li Gang's turn. Seeing his appearance, the old Taoist was very satisfied. "You have become much stronger. It seems that you have not been lazy."

"I remember everything you said."

Without feeling his pulse, the Taoist priest just stared at his face for about three or four seconds, then suddenly smiled at Li Minghui and said, "The bad luck is gradually disappearing, and the lucky star is moving. It looks like the wedding date is not far away. Remember to invite me to the wedding wine."

Li Minghui was overjoyed and bowed quickly to express his gratitude.

Knowing their purpose of going up the mountain, the old Taoist examined their bodies one by one, talked about some health preservation methods, and then asked them to rest. Then he began to test the martial arts of several disciples.

The snow was falling even heavier. The old Taoist looked up at the sky and said to Zhao Qin with a smile, "You went up the mountain twice, and both times it snowed without warning. This is strange."

"Master, does this mean I am the son of God, or the chosen one?"

The old Taoist sneered, "All those called the Son of Heaven are lying in the ground, even their coffins have been dug up."

At this moment, in the bluestone-paved courtyard, the eldest brother was practicing boxing. The old Taoist only watched for a minute or two, then said, "Change people."

Second brother Liu Jing came on stage, but after only fighting for half a minute, the old Taoist suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong, Master?" Zhao Qin was puzzled.

"He has the strongest worldly aura, and his boxing skills show it. Compared to his family reputation, he makes me feel much more at ease."

Next came the third brother, Zhao Qin, the last one, and he only put on two postures before the old Taoist called out to stop, "What a brute force, what's there to see."

"Master, you are being unreasonable. I am wrong even though I am strong."

The Taoist priest suddenly moved. Zhao Qin could clearly see the Taoist priest moving behind him, but his body was still slow to react.

I felt something lightly touching my vertebrae.

"You are not happy to hear that brute force is the key. Although there is a saying in martial arts that one can defeat ten kinds of skill with force, you should also remember that exploring and breaking through the limits of the body is not just about strength.

You still can't compare to your senior brother in terms of reaction."

Zhao Qin did not refute. When it came to practicing martial arts, his senior brother was much more diligent than himself.

The women who came with them took on the responsibilities in the kitchen, and each of them brought out their local specialties, so the lunch included cuisines from all over the world.

The snow only accumulated a thin layer before it stopped falling. In the afternoon, everyone played around the Taoist temple and took photos.

In the evening, the old Taoist called Zhao Qin over again and gave him a small purse. "Inside is a Six Ding and Six Jia Talisman I drew. Let Xue wear it when you go back until the birth. Don't think too much about it. Just seek peace of mind."

"Thank you, Master."

"Well, I'll be there in early March and stay for a while. Just remind everyone not to talk about me in private in the village."

Looking at Zhao Qin with kind eyes, "Ah Qin, I am a useless person. You are the one who supports almost all the people in the sect. You also have to take care of their lives."

"Hey, let's not talk about this, Master. I think you can really consider moving the Taoist temple directly to our village."

"I am a true Heavenly Master. This Longhu Mountain is the true source. How can I leave?"

"Master, I guess other Taoist temples on the mountain think so."

"It's okay. We gave them some rice and pork before the New Year. Now they all agree that ours is the most authentic."

Zhao Qin laughed loudly, "Master, you are too honest in buying people's hearts."
