In Yu Qingyao's experience, it costs little to please such a small character, but sometimes it can reap big rewards. For example, she only said a few nice words to Zeng Meng and smiled at him a few times. He regarded her as his confidant and wished he could tell her all the secrets of his sect.
If another deacon with the same status gave him ten thousand taels of gold, he would not be able to tell the truth.
If you change to an elder with a higher status, I am afraid that if you recommend yourself to the pillow, the other party will not have a word of truth, and they will treat you as self-willing and inferior.
In fact, at this time, the deacons and elders in the lower court of Chunshui Temple were all watching with great interest.
They all wanted to pick the white lotus that was delivered to their door, but they never thought about whether Yu Qingyao was willing or not. A casual cultivator from a foreign country, who just built a foundation, fell into their hands, what tricks could he do
They just wait and see, to see which companions will make a move, and the companions are the competitors. It also depends on what the dean will think. When such a woman comes, the dean will definitely not let her go. Without the permission of the dean, it would offend him, and it would be difficult to mix in the temple.
Yu Qingyao knew that she would face such a situation when she stepped into Chunshui Temple. Other women might find it troublesome and bring disaster to herself, but she was not afraid. More people are fun! How lonely is a life without men chasing after it
In Yu Qingyao's innocent and friendly smile, Zeng Meng unknowingly told her the secrets of the deacon and elders in the temple.
After Yu Qingyao settled down, Zeng Meng led her to the Department of Wai Gong, which is the department where the Taoists took over the tasks. Slaying demons and eliminating ghosts, in the eyes of Taoists, is the accumulation of external skills.
She had never done a mission before, so she decided to experience the life of a real Taoist priest.
Without the support of her teacher, she couldn't go on leisurely. When walking outside, it is inevitable to encounter demons and ghosts, but she has a special physique that attracts demons and ghosts. If she wanted to avoid the battle with the ghost, she couldn't avoid it. Therefore, Yu Qingyao decided to practice her hands in the morning, so as not to be overwhelmed when the ghosts came to her door.
A Taoist will covet his own beauty, and will not kill easily. Ghosts are different, Yu Qingyao is not sure that ghosts will also like her beauty.
In the Waigong Division, there are not many tasks today. There are fifteen tasks in total. Ten of them are investigation missions, and only five are killing missions.
Yu Qingyao was curious, so she picked up an investigation mission to read. It said a certain store on a certain street. Boss Wang heard strange noises in the store at night. He got up and carefully looked around, but he didn't see anyone. He suspected that there was a ghost in the house, so he reported it and asked the Taoist to go to the house to check.
In this case, it may be that a little demon or a ghost has really come out, or it may be that a thief has entered, and it is more likely to be a cat or a mouse, or even the sound of the wind blowing.
Because there are so many demons and ghosts, if there is any movement in the world, people will suspect that there are demons and ghosts. More than half of the information reported in this newspaper is false information, which needs to be ascertained.
Yu Qingyao didn't want to make a trip in vain, so she put down this task list and went to see the list of beheading tasks.
Zeng Meng was on the sidelines to give her advice: this task is too far away, that task is useless, and the other task is too low-grade, not worthy of your master. It can be done."
Yu Qingyao thanked him, and brought it over for a closer look. A strange case was written on the list.
There is a Wangji sesame oil shop in Tsushima Alley. The owner’s eldest son was suddenly drowned three days ago. He died very strangely. He drowned in the washbasin when he washed his face at night. How big do you want the washbasin to be and how much water is in it? To drown an eighteen-year-old lad is definitely queer, isn't it
The lower house sent a Taoist to the sesame oil shop to check. The Taoist checked the doors, windows, and walls, and there was no sign of outsiders climbing. There was no scar on the body of the deceased, only symmetrical bluish-black handprints on the left and right sides of his face.
The Taoist in charge of inspection said that the handprint was small and slender, like a woman's handprint.
The strangest thing was that the handprint was like someone standing in front of the dead man, and then pressed him hard against him.
However, the deceased drowned with his head planted in the washbasin, and his face was completely immersed in the washbasin.
Therefore, the Taoist in charge of the inspection concluded that the deceased was probably killed by a water ghost.
The requirement of this task is to find the murderous water ghost and kill it.
Zeng Meng said enthusiastically: "This water ghost should be a newcomer, not too strong. This is the task of nourishing Qi disciples."
Yu Qingyao understands that this is something that happened in the city. The ghosts in the city are usually just born, and they are generally not too strong. Because the Taoist temple is here, and once a ghost appears, it will be eliminated by the Taoists immediately.
Only newly born ghosts have the chance to harm people before the Taoist finds out.
The difficulty of this kind of task is not killing the ghost, but finding it.
Taoist priests who place orders are generally required to complete a certain amount of tasks. Generally, you have to do it at least once for free. If there is no task to do, the Taoist temple will be tolerant.
Foreign Taoist priests live and eat in Taoist temples for free, and the cost of board and lodging is paid for one mission.
If you want to make money, you have to count from the second mission.
A Taoist priest can't actually complete several missions in a month. Ghosts will not jump out to let you kill them. They will try to hide as much as they can. When they find Taoist priests to catch them, they will run away. It takes a lot of time to search and track. A task often takes five or six days. It will take ten days and half a month. If you are unlucky and the mission target is good at hiding, you can get a mission for a month or two.
After reading the task, Yu Qingyao felt that it was suitable for a fledgling person like herself to practice with this task.
A newly born water ghost, even if it is a fierce ghost, is by no means an opponent of the Taoist priest who established the foundation. For her, there is no danger, just to experience the life of a Taoist priest who catches ghosts.
She smiled and said, "Then I will accept this task."
I handed over the task to the deacon and took the task certificate. This certificate is to prove her identity. With this, she can mobilize the local police, ask the local Lizheng and residents, and ask them to cooperate with her ghost hunting operation. Without this, the local government will not cooperate, but will report to the Taoist temple instead.
Zeng Meng enthusiastically wants to accompany her to do the task.
Yu Qingyao declined, because Zeng Meng could only accompany her for a while, and she always had to rely on herself in the end. If you have to rely on others for such a small task, then there is no way to save it.
Yu Qingyao behaves like a white lotus, but her heart is not. In her heart, she was eager to try to complete the first ghost-catching mission in her life.
Zeng Meng knew that this task was not difficult for her, so he didn't force it, and enthusiastically pointed her to the way to Tsushima Alley.
Yu Qingyao rode a grass horse alone and walked towards the opposite horse alley.
Arriving at Tsushima Alley, Yu Qingyao took a look and saw a white flag hanging in front of a shop, so she knew it must be the Wang family.
