I didn't expect that fate was not enough in the end.
Xie Qiqing looked at the back of the young man leaving regretfully. The little friend refused to take his talisman even if he died. It seemed that he was sure that he was a liar, and he also said "I don't care about you because of your age".
This made Xie Qiqing a little bit ridiculous. Although he was seventy years old, he had profound Taoism, and it was no problem to deal with ordinary people.
Destiny is elusive, the world's popularity is deep and shallow, and it changes in a single thought. This person was face to face with the expert, but he was only a hair away, and finally gave up, but it cannot be said that he will regret it in the future. Maybe, his life will go smoothly, and he will never encounter danger.
Xie Qiqing didn't force it either, he was just optimistic about this young man, and wanted to give something on the spur of the moment, and now it seems that the fate is not enough, so he gave up.
Patting the grass clippings on his body, Xie Qiqing continued to walk down.
After living for so many years, Xie Qiqing has never been to a zoo. He went to the mountains to practice Taoism when he was young, and there were not so many zoos back then. Later, Taoism became successful, and then he moved into the society, and he was too old to go to the zoo.
Although this was the first time, Xie Qiqing had only visited half of the zoo, but she thought it was quite interesting.
Going forward, there are quite a lot of people. It turned out to be a newly opened venue, the Golden Monkey Pavilion. It is said that there is a golden monkey, a national first-class protected animal.
Times are really changing, and now the animals live so well.
Xie Qiqing walked in with some emotion, and saw many people surrounded by the outdoor playground. Looking closer, it turned out that the golden snub-nosed monkey had gone to exercise outdoors.
In the huge site, there are rockery, rope ladders, swings, trees, and even a small splashing waterfall.
Because the weather is getting hotter, Xie Qiqing also saw it along the way just now, and there are ice cubes in many venues.
Here, a small waterfall is directly installed, which is also in line with the construction of the rockery. There is a shallow pool below. I don't know whether it is circulating or running water.
The water flow of this small waterfall is not very turbulent. I saw a bright-colored golden monkey sitting on the top of the rockery, propped up with a rather domineering foot, and fiddled with the water from time to time.
The face of this Guizhou snub-nosed monkey is light blue, and the hair on its body is golden yellow, gray yellow, silver gray and other color gradients. The monkey hair looks extremely fine and shiny, and it can almost reflect light in the sun. The tail drooped and swung slightly.
Xie Qiqing also heard laughter from the onlookers, "The zoo also has a waterfall, isn't this the Water Curtain Cave?"
"Haha, really, Water Curtain Cave, then this is the Monkey King?"
The golden monkey scratched its ears and turned its face, as if it knew they were talking about itself.
It suddenly stood up and jumped down from the rockery. When the exclamation of the tourists was still in their throats, they saw it reach out and grab the rope hanging from the tree trunk, and swing out for a certain distance in a swaying manner. , and finally landed firmly on the wooden platform.
A few steps to the side, I slid down the wooden slide and landed at the door of the movable door that separates the indoor and outdoor, and the whole movement was done in one go.
It was also within three seconds after it landed at the door, the door was opened, and the breeder appeared at the door with a basin of food. Even wearing a mask, it could be seen that the golden monkey was shocked. Unexpectedly, the golden monkey was squatting at the door.
"Oh my god, didn't you know that there was something to eat, so you went there on purpose?"
"Too smart, do you know the fixed time, or did you hear the movement?"
Xie Qiqing couldn't help leaning over to take a closer look, not to mention, this monkey is really spiritual.
The breeder came out and put the food on the wooden platform. The golden monkey followed step by step without being impatient. After the breeder put down the food and walked away, it sat on it, pulled the rice bowl towards itself, and looked at the things inside.
It was only at this time that the tourists could see clearly that the rice bowl of the golden monkey seemed to be exclusive to it, and it was clean, with a Q version of the monkey painted beside it.
Then, the golden monkey took out a bamboo shoot with its left hand and a peach with its right hand and ate it. Its staple food is crude fiber plants, but occasionally it can also eat some fruits with high sugar content such as peaches.
Speaking of high sugar content, the peaches eaten by this golden monkey are too high in sugar...
The sun is getting higher and higher, and the tourists watch it bite a piece of peach. When the mouth is separated from the peach, the biting sound with the sound of water seems to be ringing in the ears, and even a few drops of peach juice splashing in the air can be seen . The plump, juicy, bright red and ripe peach flesh was also revealed in their eyes along with the opening.
The golden monkey chewed the peach, looking very comfortable, with some juice on the corners of its mouth.
Xie Qiqing clearly heard the tourist next to her swallow, then grumbled and took a sip of mineral water.
"The welfare of spirit animals is good... that's great..." They stared at the golden monkeys eating eagerly, always feeling that the animals in spirits tasted as delicious as they ate in Jiajia restaurant.
Xie Qiqing couldn't stand it anymore, she licked her lips and went out, and when she went out, she saw the young man she met before, his golden brown hair was quite conspicuous, and he was leaning against the lamppost right now , listening to two volunteers with red armbands chatting.
Xie Qiqing had no intention of eavesdropping, but when he passed by, he still heard the words that the two volunteers occasionally uttered, as if they were Buddhist language.
When the two passed by, they looked at each other again.
The young man turned away indifferently.
Xie Qiqing thought to himself, it seems that he still believes in Buddhism, no wonder he refused decisively before, but he didn't know why he said he didn't believe in anything.
…
Xie Qiqing didn't think much about it, he went to the next venue, which was the Giant Panda Pavilion.
As soon as he entered, Xie Qiqing was startled. He also came in with the intention of seeing a national treasure, and he helped get the panda here. But who can tell him why the strong giant panda, scratching its belly under the doting eyes of the tourists, exudes a demonic aura? !
As a Taoist priest, it is not surprising to see a monster, but the appearance of this monster in Donghai City made Xie Qiqing a little confused.
Xie Qiqing almost reflexively put on a stance to subdue the demons, but thinking that the Linshui Temple could not tolerate the monsters in Donghai City at will, especially the relationship between Lingyuan and Linshui Temple, he held back.
As soon as he held back, he saw the bigger panda get up, facing his direction, slightly opened his mouth, and stuck out his tongue.
"Ah, so cute, so cute!"
"It's so cute, Black Cyclone sticks out his tongue!"
Xie Qiqing heard the excited voices of the tourists, but he himself broke out a few drops of sweat, "..."
Why do you always feel that the bear demon is mocking him
Xie Qiqing has no intention of continuing to visit. Of course, if he continues to visit, he will find several surprises. He ran back to find Duan Jiaze in a messy footsteps, but as soon as he entered Duan Jiaze's office, he saw the young man with golden brown hair sitting there, and his posture was very unruly. He was squatting on the sofa.
Xie Qiqing: "?"
Why does this young man seem to be everywhere
When Duan Jiaze saw Xie Qiqing, he stood up and said, "I just got off work, is Daoist Xie hungry?"
Xie Qiqing looked at the young man, but he still thought it was more scary for a panda to become a spirit. He was eager to know what Duan Jiaze was thinking, "Can I have a chat?"
"Yes." Duan Jiaze probably knew what Xie Qiqing was going to say, and said to Yuan Hong, "Well, Yuan Hong, I hope you will think about what I said."
Yuan Hong lazily went out with his hands behind his back, and Duan Jiaze didn't say anything. His attitude towards Yuan Hong was the same as that of ordinary dispatched employees.
Moreover, Duan Jiaze was a little tired. He had just finished talking with Yuan Hong, and hoped that Yuan Hong could pay attention.
Because everyone can't tell whether he is the real body or the incarnation, and there is no way to investigate it carefully, but can you stop spreading hatred everywhere and staring at the monk volunteers in the garden and sneering...
Duan Jiaze knew that Yuan Hong was from Heaven, but was there any need to mock Buddhism so much? Aren't all ethnic groups and religions cooperating closely now? There's nothing to laugh at if monks in the human world have a low level of cultivation, right
Just wondering, Xie Qiqing said at this moment: "Director Duan should know that one of the giant pandas in the Panda House has become a spirit? Could it be that it was a demon when it was in Sichuan?"
He couldn't understand this point. With the system of giant panda bases, how could monsters appear. When Duan Jiaze solved the matter of Hei Xuanfeng, he found Linshuiguan. Xie Qiqing really didn't know that Hei Xuanfeng came through some operations.
"Daozhang Xie, calm down. This giant panda was entrusted by Linshui Temple to take care of it in our garden." Duan Jiaze said calmly, "It has already abandoned evil and followed good, so Linshui Temple gave it a chance to do volunteer work here."
Xie Qiqing: "..."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Xie Qiqing's face, "Volunteer?"
Duan Jiaze: "That's right, a volunteer. It eats fast every day to show off its cuteness, and has never killed a living being."
In their practice world, facing this so-called monster who abandons evil and pursues good, they also have to be locked up to see the aftermath. But more monsters, or monsters who have reached the point of doing evil, will not turn back easily.
At this time, more cruel methods must be used. For example, Xie Qiqing came to Donghai City this time because several of his senior brothers worked together to subdue a big monster with a cultivation base of 700 years. Come to Linshui Temple, Linshui Temple is where their sect's orthodoxy lies, and there are magic tools passed down from generation to generation, so as to trap them to death.
Xie Qiqing said in a daze: "But you don't imprison it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qiqing shut up.
"Prisoner, isn't that locked in a cage?" Duan Jiaze said with a smile.
Xie Qiqing: "..."
Xie Qiqing was speechless, but this was Linshuiguan's site, so he couldn't say anything more. Although he saw at a glance that they were just some human cages, it is unknown if Linshui Temple has some hidden arrangements.
"Come on, Daoist Xie, let's go eat." Duan Jiaze led Xie Qiqing out.
Xie Qiqing suddenly remembered the young man he called "Yuan Hong", and asked casually, "How is that young man named Yuan Hong related to you? I just wanted to give him a talisman, but I was rejected. "
He said this half-jokingly. Even if Yuan Hong has a good relationship with Duan Jiaze and knows that there are practitioners in the world, he can't ignore the talisman he gave him. In today's practice world, his talisman array is unique and quite famous.
Duan Jiaze paused for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "Xie Daochang wants to give him a talisman?"
Duan Jiaze's accent fell on "he".
Xie Qiqing said cheerfully: "Yeah, what's the matter, doesn't it mean that he has the magic weapon given by Linshuiguan, so he doesn't care about it?" He is in a much better mood now, and he didn't feel unhappy when he said this sentence.
Duan Jiaze: "..."
How unlucky is Daoist Xie? Why do you always do this kind of thing...
Duan Jiaze took a deep look at him and said, "Basically, he is also a related household."
But luckily among misfortunes, Lord Four Wastes is more homely, and his management is not as wide as that of Ling Guang.
Xie Qiqing nodded a little blankly, thinking that the "also" Duan Jiaze said was referring to himself, she still felt a little regretful in her heart, and thought mischievously: Oh, I can't see the regretful expression of that young man Yuan Hong!
…
Under Duan Jiaze's enthusiasm to stay, and Xie Qiqing was also a little curious about why the hotel business here is so good, so he stayed and stayed at Lingyou Resort Hotel for one night.
Xie Qiqing has been working in high-ranking officials and rich businessmen for these years, and has traveled all over the world, visited many prosperous places, and stayed in many luxurious hotels. He was quite curious about how this scenic hotel in a small town managed to make every tourist smile comfortably.
At the end of the day, Xie Qiqing counted. He strongly doubted what kind of feng shui array Zhou Xintang had arranged for Linshui Temple, otherwise the delicious food might be due to the chef's good finding, but how did the comfortable aura come from somewhere
But if it is true that a feng shui formation is arranged, Xie Qiqing feels that this is too subtle, and the effect is excellent. Has Zhou Xintang's cultivation reached this level
Xie Qiqing didn't know, and he didn't compete with Zhou Xintang, he only knew that Shao Wuxing's cultivation base had unexpectedly improved a lot, as he could see from the last Taoist forum.
Xie Qiqing left early the next morning, he always got up early, practiced at four o'clock, checked out at five o'clock and left.
Last night, he said goodbye to Duan Jiaze in advance. He came here because of the mission of the teacher. Although he had already informed his brother on WeChat that he had done a good job, he had other things to do. He had to leave Donghai and stay here for one night. It is a delay.
Xie Qiqing was still wearing a light blue Taoist robe, and when she went out, she saw Yuan Hong again. There was no one outside in the early morning, only he was lying on the hammock with his eyes closed, and the hammock was still swaying according to inertia.
With a thought, Xie Qiqing went over to say hello to him, "Xiao Yuan, I'm leaving."
Yuan Hong opened his eyes, put one foot down, stopped the swaying hammock, and said lazily: "You go as you go, and you come to tell me what you are doing, don't we know each other well?"
Xie Qiqing smiled and said: "Didn't you say that I look like an old friend of yours? Then we still have some fate after all, let me say hello to you."
Yuan Hong rolled his eyes, "All old men with white beards look similar in the world. I took a closer look yesterday and found that you look nothing like you except for your eyebrows and beard."
Xie Qiqing couldn't help laughing.
Just as Xie Qiqing was about to speak, her eyes suddenly froze, she looked towards the east, her face was very ugly, she didn't care to talk to Yuan Hongduo, and ran away.
Yuan Hong also glanced at Dongfang, blinked, and then he also walked out, his movements were not big, but his speed was very fast.
Xie Qiqing ran outside. At this point, there was only one farmer on the road delivering food, and the surrounding area was even more desolate. He was sprinting at first, but suddenly stopped moving, his expression changed, "He's coming this way..."
"What?" Yuan Hong's voice sounded from behind.
"Go back quickly." Xie Qiqing was a little nervous when he saw that he had followed him out. Seeing his bewildered look, she said, "Inform Principal Duan that he may have something to protect himself."
Xie Qiqing was familiar with the monstrous aura of the big monster they captured, and he himself had added a layer of talisman restraints, so he instantly realized that the other party had escaped from the trap for some reason. He originally wanted to rush to Linshui Temple to help, but he didn't expect the monster to come directly in this direction.
As soon as Xie Qiqing thought about it, she understood that this was because the monster held a grudge, and he had to be dealt with first, and he was alone, wouldn't it be safer than being beaten by a group in Linshui Temple
Not far away, the farmer who delivered the food looked at the sky and asked suspiciously, "What is that? Who is burning the garbage?"
A black air current floated over very quickly along with the wind, and circled around the farmer. Before the farmer could say anything more, he fell to the ground and disappeared.
The black air flow also turned into a human form, he looked like a human being, he was even wearing a brand-name suit, but it was a bit torn, and the way he stared at Xie Qiqing was more ferocious than ordinary monsters.
Xie Qiqing didn't care about whether Yuan Hong ran or not, he gasped, full of powerlessness. Seven hundred years of cultivation is really extraordinary, they still underestimate this monster, how can they take it lightly when dealing with such a big monster.
Where did it go wrong that caused such a catastrophe, Xie Qiqing was in a mess.
Now the people in Linshuiguan don't know if they have found that the monster has escaped. He is here alone, and he is absolutely invincible to this monster. He can only fight, and hope that it will not hurt the innocent again...
Xie Qiqing touched the talisman paper with slightly trembling hands.
The monster in the torn suit laughed mockingly, and a strange wind blew up around him, blowing the hem of his clothes, and his power greatly increased. It stretched out its hand and grabbed the farmer next to it, and smiled strangely. Every word made Xie Qiqing's heart feel colder.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a young man with blond hair in a white shirt dig his ears, something in his hand grew from small to large, and he swung a stick, and the iron stick spun and hit the monster.
In an instant, the monster turned into ashes, and before he could finish his sentence, and before he could report his name in the future, he fell into a distraught end.
Xie Qiqing's hand stopped in mid-air, her expression froze, she was speechless, only her eyeballs were moving.
He watched Yuan Hong walk over, hooked the stick with his foot, grabbed the stick with his hand, and when he lowered his head, his eyes flashed with gold, and he muttered: "What am I talking about, wild dog..."
It's not even worth visiting, so it's over if you kill it.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, if you're not our employee, you don't need to send the pennant, ha ha." Duan Jiaze and the farmer uncle from the nearby village were polite and sent the excited uncle out.
After seeing him off, Duan Jiaze was still a little surprised, hey, I didn't expect Yuan Hong to be so caring. I heard that this uncle suffered from heat stroke outside this morning, and was moved to the infirmary by Yuan Hong. The uncle was very grateful, and when he woke up, he shouted to send a silk banner. But Duan Jiaze said that he was not an employee, so he had no choice but to give up, and repeatedly gave Duan Jiaze the opportunity to convey his gratitude to him.
When Duan Jiaze went to the lounge, he saw Yuan Hong in there, and asked him why he went out for a stroll so early in the morning.
Yuan Hong said calmly: "I met that little Taoist priest, and met him after sending him off for a ride."
"Oh, Daoist Xie, you actually gave him away?" Duan Jiaze said amusedly, "He said you think he looks like an old friend of yours, is it because of that? Who does he look like?"
Yuan Hong paused, and then said: "The old man with white beard looks similar, he looks like many people, such as Taishang Laojun, Taibai Jinxing, Jiang Ziya..."
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Duan Jiaze: "Okay, by the way, I didn't wake up in the morning, so I should call Daoist Xie."
Before Duan Jiaze dialed the phone, he received a call from the street officer, "Hello, Miss Zhang, what's the matter?"
The street officer at the other end said: "Oh Xiao Duan, you know, Baota Mountain caught fire early this morning. Fortunately, it was extinguished later. There were no casualties, but Linshui Temple suffered a little loss. The leader is emphasizing forest fire prevention again. My son is also backing, let me tell you about this issue... "
Duan Jiaze chatted with the street officer for a long time before hanging up.
After hanging up, I saw Zhou Xintang sent a WeChat message. I clicked on it and saw that there were two colorful characters of "Thank you" in the middle of a bouquet of flowers. I sweated a bit and replied with a "?".
Zhou Xintang spent a long time typing: The monster set fire to escape this morning, and disappeared after going to Haijiao Mountain. I thought it was some layman who helped me.
Duan Jiaze almost vomited, what kind of monster, silly, it's not good to run where to go, this way, isn't it burned to death by the real sun set by Lu Ya as soon as it entered the garden? However, it turned out that the forest fire prevention was caused by such a chain reaction, Duan Jiaze casually responded with a "you're welcome" fat bird emoji.
Only then did Duan Jiaze have time to call Xie Qiqing, "Is the Taoist priest on the high-speed rail now? Have a good trip."
Xie Qiqing: "I, I, I, I dare not, thank you, thank you..."
Duan Jiaze glanced at the phone suspiciously, and said hesitantly: "Master, it's because the signal of the high-speed rail is not good, or he's stuttering..."
Xie Qiqing: "..."
Xie Qiqing: "I, I, I am a little cold, the high-speed rail is full of air-conditioning..."
"Then be careful, ask the flight attendant to borrow a blanket." Duan Jiaze thought that Daoist Xie was getting old, so he hung up the phone after caring about it. After that, he felt that Daoist Xie was really cold, so he invited Daoist Xie next time Again, Dao Xie can't even speak clearly.
Looking again, Yuan Hong was still paralyzed just now, and now he was lying on the sofa, and said: "Director, why don't you just open an aquarium? Why do you keep so many land animals?"
Duan Jiaze felt that what Yuan Hong said was a bit strange, and he said, "Isn't this an accident? Besides, the aquarium on the East China Sea does not raise other animals. It's not looking for a loss. It's fine if I can go to the inland to open it. .”
Yuan Hong chuckled twice and stopped talking.
"Let's go, I'll send someone to conduct forest fire prevention propaganda." Duan Jiaze thought of what the street officer said, and hurriedly got up and went out.
As soon as he went out, he bumped into Lu Ya.
When Duan Jiaze saw Lu Ya's face, he wondered whether he should confirm with him about Linshui Temple, but seeing that Lu Ya had stood firm, he tilted to the side again, pushing Duan Jiaze against the wall, and the whole The weight also came up.
Duan Jiaze: "..."
The same goes for this bird, and it's never finished playing hooligans.
Before Lu Ya could speak, Duan Jiaze put his hands on Lu Ya's chest, summoned up his courage and said, "Do you know that you are playing with fire?"
Lu Ya: "???"
Duan Jiaze pushed Lu Ya away and ran away.
Lu Ya: "..."
