The Sloppy Daoist patted my shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Shangguan, don't slap me until I'm fat. Now that things have come to this point, if I leave you behind, wouldn't I be pushing you into a pit of fire? This Penniless Priest, as a Daoist, should kill demons and exterminate devils. How can I not save you when I see you die? Just put your heart into your stomach and this Penniless Priest will not abandon you … "
I turned my head to look at the slovenly Daoist and doubtfully said, "Daoist Priest, last night, you were beaten up by that Gui Sha until you couldn't get up. It's not like I didn't see it. Why are you fighting with it tonight?" I think I won't harm you. "
The slovenly Daoist disapprovingly said, "What's there to be afraid of? As the saying goes, if you can't beat me, just call me a parent. If I can't beat you, don't you still have my master?" Let's go today, go back to my hometown, and invite my master out. My master's Tao technique is not just for show, let me tell you, his master has killed countless evil spirits in his life, and countless evil spirits have killed him. Just a mere ghost, my master will definitely be able to capture him easily. "
This slovenly Daoist seemed to make sense. I believe that his master must be a very capable cultivator, and if I can get his master to help, then that ghost demon shouldn't be a problem. Thinking about this, hope reignited in my heart and I quickly asked, "Daoist, where is your master?"
"Qingdao Laoshan Taiqing Palace …" Didn't I tell you before? This poor Taoist is a true Taoist priest of Laoshan, his name is orthodox, have you heard of Taoist Maoshan? "Compared to us Laoshan Taoists, they are only around the same level. Our Laoshan Taoists are just relatively low-key and do not like to show off, but their methods are no worse than Maoshan Taoists."
I nodded my head repeatedly without a doubt. Then, I said, "Alright. Let's go now."
After half an hour or so, we arrived at a place like the train station, where the flow of people was endless and bustling with activity. Looking at these people, I suddenly had a thought: If that ghost can't be exterminated, then I will just stay at the train station, maybe I can even retrieve my life. This place is packed with people, it's obvious that Gui Sha's yang energy is very strong, no matter how strong he is, he wouldn't dare to kill me here.
Unless I become a beggar and beg for food every day, I don't want to live like this. As long as there's a little way to survive, I must fight for it. This time, no matter what, I must get the slovenly Daoist Priest's master out of the mountain and help me solve this problem.
After arriving at the train station, I walked to the window to buy a ticket. I don't expect the slovenly Daoist Priest to be rich. If he is so poor that he can't even afford to eat, how could he possibly be rich?
Fortunately, I still had two hundred dollars left, just enough to buy two train tickets, and a few dozen left.
The train ticket was ten o'clock at noon, and it was the slowest green train. The express train couldn't afford it.
The slovenly priest and I strolled around the train station. It was almost ten o'clock when we entered the waiting room and checked the tickets.
The train was so crowded that the unkempt priest and I bought two tickets and settled down in a corner of the smokeway.
The journey was long, and it would take at least five to six hours to reach the Laoshan Mountains in Qingdao.
When I was buying a ticket, I saw his ID card. He was seven or eight years older than me, and looked to be almost thirty. The name on his ID card was Xu Feng, and the place of his birth was in Laoshan, Qingdao.
"Daoist Priest Xu, I have something I'm very curious about. How did you become a Daoist Priest?" I asked.
The slovenly Daoist waved his hand and said, "Aiya, I'm not even willing to bring up this matter. When I was born, my body was crippled, and my parents were probably worried that I would become a fool in the future, so they wrapped me in a torn bedsheet and threw me at the entrance of their master's temple. My master picked me up and brought me up, taught me all my skills, and just like that, I became a Daoist …"
This was a very tragic fate. However, he could be considered lucky that he wasn't caught by the wild dog. He was truly lucky that he wasn't. However, the slovenly Daoist Priest didn't seem to care and seemed to be very casual about it.
I carefully sized up a slovenly monk. He said that he had a disability, but I didn't notice it at all. Thus, I asked, "Where is your disability? How come I don't see it?"
The Sloppy Daoist immediately stretched out his arms in front of me and said, "Did you see that? My arms were long and short, and I heard from my master that it was very obvious when I was young that the broken arm was half of the good arm. As I slowly grew up, my hand grew a little better, and with my master using herbs, I was almost recovered by now.
I looked at his outstretched arms for a moment, and then I realized that his left arm really did look a little less than his right, about four or five centimeters long, but it was impossible to see without looking closely.
Then, I asked, "You have no money, how did you get to South Sky City?"
The slovenly Daoist laughed, then said, "I walked over, or what else could I do?"
Hearing this, I was surprised. "You're walking over here. It's over a thousand miles. How long have you walked for to reach here?"
"You don't understand this, do you? Master told me to go down the mountain to travel, to train my heart in the mortal world, to experience all sorts of emotions in the world, this is called growth, don't you understand? If you have money on you, won't you be travelling? " The Sloppy Daoist rolled his eyes and said.
"Then how do you eat and how do you live?" I asked in shock.
"Of course it's divination and fortune testing, catching a ghost or something occasionally and making a living. But I didn't see any ghosts on this road, which was what I saw only after meeting you. Say, how am I so unlucky, meeting you who is equally unlucky, and then the first ghost I meet is a ghost or fiend that almost caused me to lose my life, aiya …" "I have no other choice. Otherwise, I will just head south and travel across China before I plan to head back …" The Sloppy Daoist couldn't help but sigh.
"Elder Xu …" Didn't you tell me that you beheaded countless demons and took care of countless evil spirits? How did it become like the first ghost we meet is the Demon Ghost? " I teased.
The slovenly Daoist turned red and he knew that he had leaked the information, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright …" "Let's not talk about this. There's no point in talking to you at all …"
