Upon noticing the arrival of Taoist Nun Qingping, Gu Jiu naturally pushed away the evil man who was clinging to her.
She stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "Master, are you here for something?"
Taoist nun Qingping nodded subconsciously, her eyes following the man who was following closely behind Gu Jiu. Her face twitched slightly, and she looked at Gu Jiu again. When she saw her smiling face, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Gu Jiu invited Taoist nun Qingping to sit under a dead tree in the guest house.
There are a few stools made from wooden blocks and a wooden table placed casually under the tree, and the ground is covered with river stones that have been washed into round shapes. It is said that these river stones were brought back from the river at the foot of the mountain by young Taoist nuns. Although they are rough, they are quite interesting.
Gu Jiu personally brewed tea and said with a smile: "Master, have some tea."
The aroma of tea lingers in the air, and the air is filled with the light fragrance of tea.
Taoist Qingping drank some tea and looked at the autumn sky. His originally restless heart gradually calmed down and he felt more comfortable.
She no longer looked at the man sitting next to Gu Jiu and explained her purpose.
She first thanked Gu Jiu for taking Mu Ying and other disciples to Zhangzhe Mountain to broaden their horizons and for protecting them. Then she tactfully told her to take back the property she had copied from Zhangzhe Mountain.
Even though the nuns had used some of the money to help the poor women in Bishui Town, Gu Jiu also bought a lot of supplies, so there was still a lot left. Because Gu Jiu refused to take it, the nuns put it in Qingping's residence. Every day when she went back to her room to rest, she always felt like she couldn't breathe when she saw the jewels that almost blinded her eyes.
I was used to being poor, so it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited when I suddenly saw such a windfall. But no matter how excited I was, I never thought of possessing it.
No merit, no reward. Qingyun Temple was not willing to take advantage of her.
Gu Jiu drank her tea quietly until Nun Qingping finished speaking, then she poured her a cup of tea herself.
After Taoist Nun Qingping finished her second cup of tea, she did not respond to this matter. She said leisurely, "Master Taoist, what is the current situation of the world? I think you know it better than me, right?"
Taoist nun Qingping nodded, and her mood, which had originally been somewhat relaxed due to the relaxing atmosphere of this guesthouse, became heavy again.
She sighed in her heart, wondering when this chaotic world would end, and how to achieve a balance between humans and demons
Gu Jiu said straight to the point: "Master, it's time for Qingyun Temple to make some changes. Don't you want Qingyun Temple to develop into a grand temple that can rival Zichen Temple? And change this world of cannibalism?"
Taoist nun Qingping was shocked by her ambitious words.
To develop Qingyun Temple into a grand temple comparable to Zichen Temple? This was something that they didn't even dare to think about, and Qingyun Temple didn't have the conditions for that.
As for changing this cannibalistic world
Taoist nun Qingping smiled bitterly. In this chaotic world, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? It is so difficult to change.
"It's not difficult, Taoist priest." Gu Jiu smiled slightly, "Qingyun Temple has no shortage of money, people or backers now, so how difficult is it to develop?"
Taoist nun Qingping's eyebrows twitched slightly, "You mean..."
Gu Jiu nodded, "If the Taoist priest doesn't mind, Qin Huang and I are both members of Qingyun Temple." She pointed at the man next to her, "Besides, isn't there him?"
Lu Ji sat there calmly, drinking tea peacefully.
Taoist nun Qingping was shocked again, and wondered dizzily, could it be that the dragon was also going to join Qingyun Temple
Facts have proved that as long as you dare to think, nothing is impossible.
In the following month, Qingyun Temple developed rapidly and attracted attention from all sides.
First, Gu Jiu called a group of craftsmen to repair Qingyun Temple, renovating the dilapidated Taoist temple, expanding the area of the temple, and building houses on the vacant land next to it.
Although time is a bit tight, as long as there is money and people, it is not a problem to expand the Qingyun Temple in a month.
Not to mention Lu Ji's paper materials, which were simply free labor, the kind that did not require wages. They worked day and night and built magnificent halls and houses on the vacant land near Qingyun Temple.
The area of Qingyun Temple has expanded several times, comparable to those grand temples with strong incense burning.
Not only were the Taoist nuns in Qingyun Temple dumbfounded, but even the nearby Taoist temples of all sizes were shocked by the generosity of Qingyun Temple.
How could a small and dilapidated Taoist temple, which was so poor that it couldn't recruit any disciples for several years, have so much money to build more temples
With Zichen Temple as a representative, people from all over Qingyun City were sent to investigate the situation of Qingyun Temple under the pretext of a visit.
When the Taoist priest from Zichen Temple arrived, Mu Ying, the senior sister of Qingyun Temple, was bringing back disciples recruited from various places to Qingyun Temple, and Qin Huang was also accompanying them.
The world is unfair, not only are demons and monsters rampant, but there are also bandits who rob everywhere. Gu Jiu asks Qin Huang to go with him to protect the law, and at the same time show the strength of Qingyun Temple to the world.
They encountered many situations along the way, all of which were resolved by Qin Huang, and the reputation of Qingyun Temple was also spread.
With the joining of these disciples, the originally deserted Taoist temple became a bustling spectacle with hundreds of people.
The disciples of Zichen Temple were stunned. Several of them asked in disbelief, "Junior Brother Qin, why are you here?"
The Taoist nuns from Qingyun Temple looked over and understood what was going on. It turned out that he was the disciple from Zichen Temple who was sent over when the old demon Zhang Yang attacked last time.
Qin Huang asked: "Why can't I be here?"
The disciple of Zichen Temple was speechless and said subconsciously: "You haven't been back for more than a month, I thought something happened to you, could it be that you..." betrayed your master
"I am now a guest elder of Qingyun Temple." Qin Huang said arrogantly.
He still felt bad about being tricked into joining Zichen Temple, where he didn't even learn any magic and spent every day sweeping bamboo forests. Of course, Zichen Temple couldn't be blamed for this. He was new here and didn't understand the recruitment process of these big temples, so he was foolishly tricked into joining Qingyun Temple.
Even so, he did not want to be accused of betraying his master, which would damage the reputation of Qingyun Temple and cause unnecessary trouble.
He believed that if he ruined the reputation of Qingyun Temple, the eldest lady would definitely use thundering means to clean up the mess.
But being a guest official is different. The identity of a guest official is free. He is still a disciple of Zichen Temple and it is not considered as betraying his master.
The disciples of Zichen Temple looked strange, "Guest elder? You?"
How could a young disciple who was just cleaning the outer sect become a guest elder of another small Taoist temple? Is Qingyun Temple really so unrefined
The disciples of Zichen Temple didn't know what to say for a moment, and a bit of sympathy appeared on their faces. It seemed that Qingyun Temple was still that small, shabby Taoist temple. Now it was building an additional temple and recruiting disciples. It must have been a stroke of luck.
Thinking of this, when the disciples of Zichen Temple saw Taoist Nun Qingping, they couldn't help but show a bit of sympathy on their faces.
Taoist nun Qingping was a little confused. Although she didn't understand the sympathy on their faces, she didn't intend to explore it. She politely welcomed the visitors into the Taoist temple and, at their request, took them to see the newly built Taoist temple.
Everyone watched and inquired, wanting to know where Qingyun Temple got the confidence and financial support to dare to make such a big move.
Just as Taoist Nun Qingping was about to speak, she saw Gu Jiu and a man in black walking towards her.
When the others saw these two people, their faces suddenly changed.
Lu Ji did not hide the aura of a demon on his body. He chose to replace the dragon of Biyin Lake and leave the aura of the dragon on his body. As long as the cultivator has five senses, he can detect the aura of the dragon on his body.
Gu Jiu came over and said with a smile: "Master, are these the guests who came to visit today?"
Taoist Nun Qingping said, "Yes." She introduced Gu Jiu and the other two to the guests, "Everyone, this is Miss Gu Jiu. Like Master Qin, she is a guest elder of our Taoist temple. This is Master Jiao from Biyin Lake."
Everyone's scalp was tingling and they didn't know what to say.
They finally understood why Qingyun Temple had suddenly changed so much. It turned out that it was because a dragon appeared in the Taoist temple.
All cultivators have heard of Jiaolong. Although Jiaolong is not the most powerful monster, it is definitely a difficult monster among monsters. Fortunately, Jiaolong likes to find places with rich water sources to cultivate, and will not easily go ashore to harm the world. Therefore, even if cultivators know which water sources have Jiaolongs cultivating, they will not easily go over to disturb them to avoid being retaliated by Jiaolongs.
Dragons rarely come ashore, but they didn't expect to encounter a dragon coming into the world when they came to Qingyun Temple today.
Although humans and demons are in opposition, there are exceptions. For a powerful creature like a dragon, no one would be stupid enough to question his decision no matter what he does.
When a dragon appears in Qingyun Temple, people will regard Qingyun Temple as an existence that should not be provoked.
Not until Gu Jiu and Lu Ji left did they secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and became cautious in their attitude towards Nun Qingping, and all their thoughts of probing were restrained.
Taoist Nun Qingping seemed not to notice their changes. She calmly took them to visit the newly built Taoist temple, and then took them to watch Taoist Nun Qingchen perform a ritual.
In just one day, the news that a dragon appeared in Qingyun Temple spread to all the forces, big and small, near Qingyun City.
People's minds were in turmoil, and Qingyun Temple became more and more lively. Guests came to visit in an endless stream, and even the Taoist nun Qingchen, who was practicing in seclusion, was dragged away to meet the guests.
The guests that Taoist Nun Qingchen receives are all those who were once famous throughout the world.
They also came for the dragon, and carefully confirmed with Taoist Nun Qingchen the reason why the dragon from Biyin Lake came into the world.
Taoist nun Qingchen smiled kindly, "I don't know why Mr. Lu entered the world. If you want to know, you can go ask him. He is living in the guest house of the Taoist temple now."
Everyone: “…”
No one said anything. If they had the courage to ask, they would not have come here to find this old nun.
They were very dissatisfied with what Taoist Nun Qingchen said, but unfortunately, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could not do anything. The Qingyun Temple now was not the small Taoist temple with only twenty people in the past, but a large Taoist temple guarded by a dragon. If they wanted to do something here, they had to consider whether they had the strength to withstand the dragon's revenge.
I don’t know what’s so good about Qingyun Temple that it actually attracted a dragon to settle here.
Just as this group of people were puzzled, they saw a man and a demon sitting on the roof under the stars and the moon. The two sat side by side. Although they did not do anything special, they gave people an extremely intimate feeling, like a pair of lovers.
If they were not mistaken, the handsome man in black clothes, who looked like a night demon, should be the dragon, right
"I wonder if that girl is..."
Taoist nun Qingchen took a look and said calmly, "That is our guest elder Miss Gu."
Everyone: “…” They seemed to understand why the dragon came into the world.
After discovering this fact, the group of people were not relieved, but became more troubled and left with many concerns.
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing as he looked at the group of guests leaving Qingyun Temple.
"Ajiu?" Lu Ji tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what she was laughing at.
Gu Jiu said: "The dragon has entered the world, and they are afraid that you are going to do something bad."
Lu Ji said "oh" with a calm expression, holding her in his arms and ignoring the increasingly horrified looks of the group of people.
He didn't care about the world's speculations and precautions. Even if he didn't appear as a dragon, he was not afraid of the ascetics in this world. He just didn't want to cause too much trouble.
"Ajiu, are you doing this to attract all those players?" When he asked this, his voice sounded a little sour.
Gu Jiu pretended not to hear it, "If you want to become famous, this is the most convenient way."
Whether it is helping Qingyun Temple develop or revealing the appearance of a dragon in Qingyun Temple, it is all for the purpose of becoming famous. The greater the fame, the more likely it is to achieve the goal.
Lu Ji didn't mind being used by her, but he felt unhappy when he thought that Huo Ting would come to him soon.
Gu Jiu kissed the corner of his pursed lips and said softly, "We need to complete the mission, and we probably have to change the situation in this world. We have to find a force to cooperate with. I think Qingyun Temple is pretty good."
