I opened up Taoism in ancient times

"Who is looking for me?"

"your mother."

"My mother? Who is it?"

In the second half of the night, in this small settlement of mortals, shouts still kept coming and going.However, most of the shouts are similar, "Ah—there is a ghost——"

Prince Xiayi picked the tallest tree and climbed up the tree in a few strokes.Sitting on the tallest and thickest tree trunk and thinking about things is her favorite thing to do.As long as you climb up the tree, your vision will be widened, and even the wind will blow more violently.She can always figure out her doubts on the tree trunk, and figure out the answers she wants.

The last time she sat on the tree trunk and thought about the answer, she finally made up her mind to leave Wangzitun, the protection of the settlement, and at the same time, the restriction of the settlement.

She had always known her mother was a mortal.

During the more than twenty years she stayed in Wangzitun, the reason she was always looked down upon and bullied was because her father fell in love with a mortal woman and gave birth to her with that woman.

But no one ever told her who the mortal mother who gave birth to her was, not even her father told her until his death.

At this time, a person popped up and told her that her mother was looking for her.

Rather than being surprised or frightened, she was a little overwhelmed.

For the first time she didn't make up her mind on the trunk.She got down from the tree, walked to Liu Yichi, and said to Liu Yichi, who was trying to comfort those mortals who were cuddling together, "It's useless to comfort, it's June now, for them, being beaten by evil spirits Being entangled and being harassed by little ghosts are all very normal things, and this is something that happens every year."

"why?"

Wang Zixiayi forgot to take a look at Liu Yichi in surprise, "It will be Ghost Moon soon, and most of the people who were harassed by ghosts came to the door last year. Most of them didn't give the money last year or gave too little. These ghosts appeared to remind these mortals It's time to pay the money and rations of the underworld."

"Huh?" If it was possible to add expressions to his face, Liu Yichi would like to put three question marks on his face.Dare to love, the ghost also wants to fight for performance at the last moment? "You've become ghosts, why are you still so greedy for money?"

Liu Yichi understood the great doubt on Prince Xia Yi's face.

"There is a black market, and ghosts can use the money and food handed over from the underworld." Wang Zixiayi said.

On a dark and stormy night, when evil spirits do evil.

Liu Yichi underestimated the determination of the evil spirits in June to achieve success.

A more shrill and louder cry came.Listening to the voice, Liu Yichi could already tell that that family probably had loud voices.

Now that he has intervened, he is ready to take care of it again.Except for the scary face, the evil ghost is quite weak.

Liu Yichi rushed to the place where the shout came from, he crushed a Killing Ghost Pill, fed half of it to Chi Kiss, and decided to use the remaining half to kill ghosts.

When he saw the situation of this family, the other half of the killing ghost pill in his hand was also fed to Chiwen.

It's just a brat, isn't this family too timid, is it necessary to shout so loudly?

Chi kiss was already full, and he took the killing ghost pill as a molar stick, "Human, you can't make a sound when you see a ghost."

"Xiao Chi, don't expose me."

"Why are you running in such a hurry?" Prince Xia Yi, who ran on two legs, ran over panting. Chi kiss was still lurking on Liu Yichi's finger. Said, she is also ignorant. "Aren't you going to take me to see my mother?"

Liu Yichi's face froze, and the shouting in the house continued. "Stop shouting, the ghosts are gone!"

"Ah—you're here to exorcise ghosts for mortals?" Wang Zixiayi said, "But since you helped my mother find me, it means that you took orders from mortals? Are you making such a big deal? Have you been expelled from the settlement?"

"I was not evicted from the colony."

"That's too soon."

Liu Yichi: "..."

"These mortals are so poor that they can't even pay the money and food of the underworld. They have money to give you to drive away ghosts? How much will they give you?" Wang Zixiayi asked.

"I just heard the movement and came over to take a look."

"What a kind and generous Taoist."

Liu Yichi's trip to the northern prairie ended hastily.His task has been completed, and another two hundred gold coins have been credited.He had made an appointment with Li Su before to split the mortal order equally, but Li Su had disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know when the hundred gold coins would be given out.

As soon as it entered July, there was a gusty wind every night, and Liu Yichi, who had been hunting seriously with the help of Li Su, naturally reduced the hunting time, and returned to Tianyiguan every day before Chenshi.

Throughout July, the food at Tianyiguan was not good. With less hunting, there was less big fish and meat to eat, so they could barely maintain their daily expenses.

On July [-]th, the day of Zhongyuan, according to the customs of the Dayan Dynasty, you must throw money into the well of your home. Paper money is suitable for the occasion. The most important thing is to throw gold, silver and copper coins, or precious cloth. If you don't throw money in the well, you will be entangled and harassed by ghosts throughout the year.

Needless to say, silver coins and copper coins were prepared early, and they were ready to be thrown into the well of the Taoist temple on the day of Zhongyuan.

"Senior brother! You only ate meat once in the last three days, and you still throw money into the well?" Liu Yichi said angrily.

Recently, both Buyan and Xiangsheng have gotten used to the temperament of junior and junior high school students who get angry at every turn. It's just a child who has run away from friends and lost playmates to play with his temper.They decided to get used to it.

Seeing that he ignored him and concentrated on counting the silver and copper coins, Liu Yichi continued, "Senior brother, how do you know that ghosts won't make mistakes? Did you report the money? Or maybe some people don’t have a well?”

"Every household has a well." Well, the younger brother started to ask some unconstrained questions to find fault.

Not to mention confirming the cleared coins, this amount of coins is enough to keep Guanli clean for one year. He took the coins and walked to the well step by step.

Liu Yichi stretched out his hand to stop him, "If I really don't vote, there will really be ghosts coming to me? There are so many immortals enshrined in the temple, and they burn incense and oil every day, and don't you want to bless them?"

"Evil ghosts will not appear in the temple, but little ghosts are difficult to deal with." Wu Yan said a few years ago when the conditions in the temple were so poor that they couldn't pay the money, the cooking in the kitchen was either less oil or less salt, and growing vegetables was easy. If the seedlings are pulled, the chickens will never be able to pick up eggs.They're all small things, but when put together, they're particularly annoying.

"Really?" Liu Yichi ran to the well and shouted loudly, "Hey, little devils, come and find me if you can. Do you hear me? Come if you can." With the coin in Yan's hand, he leaned over to the well again, "Big ghosts and little ghosts, I'm going to take this money to sell meat in the market, if you're brave enough, come to me tonight."

"Junior brother... oh...headache..." He was embarrassed and at a loss without saying anything, he thought in his heart, isn't junior brother afraid of ghosts?Li Su disappeared, could it be possible that he also exercised the courage of the younger brother?Dare to tell the ghost that he will come to him at night?

On the dinner table in the evening, there was meat bought by Liu Yichi with this year's money from the underworld.

"Brother, why don't you two eat meat?"

"Eat more, you earned the meat back." Xiangsheng said that, with his and Buyan's temperament and their weak Taoism ability, they would never dare to say such words to the "ghost" in the well.

Liu Yichi ate half a bowl of meat alone.

In summer, it got dark late, and Liu Yichi was not idle at all after eating.He drew a lot of talismans around the Taoist temple. Anyway, he can draw talismans in the air, and rounding up means that there is no money.

There is also the side of the well, which is the place where the most symbols are drawn.There is also a circle of killing ghost pills around the well.

After setting up a circle, Liu Yichi returned to his room.

Xiangsheng and Buyan quietly watched Liu Yichi toss and turn. "Don't say anything, you lost the bet, give me the money, and I'll tell you that junior brother will sleep alone tonight! Junior brother is the blessing of Guanli's prosperity."

Without saying a word, he obediently gave Xiang Sheng a gold coin.

crunch--

The door of Liu Yichi's room opened at this moment, and Liu Yichi hugged a pillow, walked in front of them, and said, "Brother, who of you wants to sleep with me?"

Bu Yan stretched out his hand to Xiangsheng, "Here's the money, I just gave you back one gold coin, two gold coins, don't make a mistake."

Xiang Sheng handed the money to him without saying a word, "The winner will sleep with the younger brother." He turned around and left.

"Huh? You actually bet on me?" Liu Yichi walked behind Buyan with his pillow in his arms. He felt that Xiangsheng and Buyan didn't spoil him as much as before.Is it because he is too troublesome?

Without saying a word, he led Liu Yichi into his room. Before going to bed, he asked: "Junior brother, do you want to sleep inside or outside? Is the quilt too thick? Take the quilt in your room away." are you coming?"

Liu Yichi was taken aback for a moment, he stopped by the bed and hugged the pillow, lost in memory.

When he was clamoring to sleep at Li Su's house for a few days, at the beginning, he felt that Li Su's pillow was too hard for him to sleep on. I hate that the pillow is too soft and loses its support.

And the quilt, he likes the cold, Li Su loves warmth, the quilt on Li Su's bed is too heavy, he says it's too tight.

He is really annoying...

Did Li Su disappear because he hated him?Was it because you hated him that you disappeared without even saying goodbye to him?

"Junior brother, are you still not sleepy? Then what should I do? Drink tea? Or read a script? Is there anything else you want to eat?"

"No, I'll go to bed." Just as Liu Yichi was about to climb onto the bed, he suddenly asked, "Brother, are you more used to sleeping inside or outside?"

"I can do it."

Both of them lay down for a while.

Wu Yan realized that the people around him were not asleep. "Brother, are you in a bad mood?"

"I, I found that I seemed to have done something bad to Li Su... Did Li Su leave because she hated me?"

"Junior brother, the time I spent with Li Su for so many years is definitely not enough for you to spend with him, but I don't think Li Su will hate you, on the contrary, I think he likes you very much." In terms of words, "Li Su is the kind of person who doesn't like to have too many entanglements with others, and doesn't like to owe favors. Xiangsheng and I see you two staying together, and we don't feel a sense of boundary." Speaking of this, Bu Yan laughed again in the darkness, "However, Junior Brother, you don't care much about the sense of boundaries, maybe Li Su was influenced by you in this way."

The author has something to say: In previous years, the day of Zhongyuan.

Ghost: Me!Evil spirit!Humans pay money obediently!

This year, the day of the Hungry Yuan.

Ghosts: There has never been a rich human who dared not give me money on the day of the Hungry Yuan!

Chi Chi: Come to me and ask for money if you have the ability.

Ghosts: Hey, is this the King of Hades?Evil Ghost No. [-], [-], [-], [-], and [-] encountered an unsolvable problem, and some humans refused to send us money.
