Chapter 34 Strange
Liu Jiao frowned and thought for a while: "What's wrong?"
Chen Xin made a gesture and continued walking slowly forward. Liu Jiao quickly followed, feeling her heart start to beat loudly.
"Didn't I tell you that before we got married, I met an immortal master?"
"...Master, are you serious? I thought you were bluffing me?"
"Well, that immortal master wanted to accept me as his apprentice, but after two months of following him, he said that I was not qualified and left." Chen Xin sighed, "Don't interrupt, just listen to me." Say——”
"That man thought that I was quite smart and kept me by his side. When I was young, you also know that I had bad health and bones. The immortal master said that I couldn't practice cultivation because I was like that and that I had to have some repairs done first. I ate well during those days, and I didn’t feel sick after eating meat every day. I followed him like this for a month, and he said that now that I have a good foundation and am young, I can try to replenish my innate energy.”
"He gave me something to eat. It looked like black earth dregs, and I mixed it with wine and drank it every day. He said that the thing was elixir dregs, which could replenish spiritual energy, so I drank it. How do you say that thing? What is it compared to? The medicine works. Once you drink it, you feel like you have endless energy all day long——"
Liu Jiao groaned: "If you say so..."
"By the way. Are you feeling better now? Do you feel more comfortable after Zhao Qi came to our house? I see that your asthma is much better these days. Let me tell you, it should be the food that Zhao Qi gives to our family. There's dandruff in it, I see. But he had that thing. Didn't he raise a big rooster in the backyard? He didn't want you to feed it. He only fed it. The taste of the slag was bland and you two couldn't eat it. I still remember it clearly. It smells a little medicinal——”
"Then... is Taoist Zhao still a nice person? No, he is not such a person?"
"Yes. I thought he was cold-faced and warm-hearted at first, but later I felt that he was not such a person. But I didn't mention it, because there is no harm in eating it. I have been slowly thinking about Zhao in the past few days. What do you want to do?" Chen Xin slowly shook his head, "This is the first time that our family worships Qi Refiners, but I have also heard about Qi Refiners in other towns."

"Practice requires money for people like us. In a place like ours, it's normal for people to sit in one place, accept offerings from the master's family, keep the place safe, and stay there for a few years or more than ten years to practice slowly. But this is normal. But Think about it, this person in our family is very particular about food, clothing and housing, but he hasn’t mentioned anything extra after being here for so long. He didn't ask for any precious offerings from us, so he just asked for the tiger bones, and he asked for them urgently. Look at his backpack hanging on the wall in his room, looking like he was ready to leave at any moment. I think he doesn’t intend to stay in Jinshui forever. Then, why is he here?”
Liu Jiao frowned: "He...he..."
He hit Chen Xin on the shoulder again: "You really said that?"
"I was thinking about it too. I didn't understand it before, and I didn't want you to worry in vain. Today, please help me think about it - he accepted the kid as his apprentice yesterday and said he looked smart and clever. But you also know He is a proud and arrogant person, so why would he just accept a disciple? I feel that even if he really wanted someone to serve him wisely, he would try it first based on his temperament. I wanted to be a servant or something, but I just accepted him in a hurry. "As soon as I accepted him as a disciple, I felt something was wrong when we were eating. I didn't want to give him any pills. , then he fed us that thing before..." Chen Xin slowly breathed out, "Maybe he thought it would be useful to take us."
These five words, "use us," made both of them feel chilly in their hearts. After a moment of silence, Chen Xin took Liu Jiao's hand and continued: "If I'm not wrong, he should use that child now. Think about it again after he came to our place, he didn't ask for anything , but what did you ask us to do?”
"First we were asked to renovate the Kitchen God Temple and reshape its image. Then we were told that some houses were blocking the feng shui and were asked to demolish them. We didn't know what we were doing in private. I didn't learn from that immortal master back then. What's his ability? I heard him say something else. Zhao Qi said he was from the Ranshan sect. , if he didn’t hide it from us, I remember that the ones they offered were all Dong Huangye. Why did he pay attention to our Zaowu Temple here? I thought about it, thinking about the big roosters and tiger bones he raised. Now I feel... he may want to do some rituals."
Liu Jiao's hands clenched tightly: "What ritual?"
"Then I don't know." Chen Xin sighed, "Why should I keep that child at home for dinner today? I just wanted to ask him. But the child was also strict, so I didn't ask anything. Just because Well, I said this kid is not good. Zhao Qi doesn’t need us now, but he is interested in him. It won’t be a good thing if Zhao Qi is so sneaky. We can’t get involved anymore.”
Liu Jiao grabbed him: "Then let's not push him into the fire pit!"
Chen Xin shook his head and sighed: "Is it us? A few days ago, this kid went to our shop by himself to show off. Don't you understand what he was thinking? I thought, what he said must be true. Yes, think about it, I don’t want any wealth or wealth anymore , I know that there is an immortal master in the town who wants to become a disciple in a place as big as Jinshui. If I don’t ask Zhao Qi, either he will find Zhao Qi himself in a few days, or Zhao Qi will find him himself, and it will still be the same as today. A situation.”
"Oh, I also think he is a good boy. I am not... Let's put it this way, that's what I think. Xiuxiu is obsessed with him, so I asked Xiuxiu to go to him more and get closer to him. Let's keep an eye on Zhao Qi and ask him about the tiger bones while trying to find out anything from him. What Zhao Qi wants to do is really not a good thing. It's not only to help us, but also to help him. "
Liu Jiao took a few breaths and lowered her voice: "If anything, the head of the house, a family of more than 40 people, rushed into the house and chopped him up."
Chen Xin nodded: "Like I said, these qi refiners are all born, old, sick and die, so we are not afraid of them at the critical moment. But he has a serious teacher... Well, if you can not make the matter a big deal and lose some money, It’s best to hurt someone and send him away if you can.”

The two of them walked in silence for a while, and Liu Jiao sighed: "After a few good years, there were no evil spirits and no monsters, but this happened... Oh, I know, you don't need to tell me, we still have gold and water." It’s so safe and healthy. You said these people are going to die, so why do they want to become immortals? I heard that those people in the Dharma religion are not good enough, so why bother?”
Chen Xin shook her hand: "Let's have a good life."
