Qi Xue didn't know what was going on with her recently, she was always out of shape, easily distracted when doing things, and felt tired and sleepy at every turn.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of sobriety, the trance of the past few days was swept away, and her thoughts were extremely clear, which was more effective than drinking coffee.

She hummed a song and returned to the dormitory in a good mood. Seeing her like this, her roommate couldn't help teasing: "Xiaoxue, what's so happy about it? Are you dating your boyfriend?"

Everyone knows that Qi Xue made a boyfriend through online dating a while ago. He is tall, handsome, and very considerate. They all envy Qi Xue's good luck.

Mentioning her boyfriend, Qi Xue sang.She almost forgot, it seems that her boyfriend still invited her to dinner?

"I'm going out, remember to leave the door for me at night." Qi Xue didn't even have time to put down her bag, and left in a hurry.

"Tsk, a woman in love." Roommate A sighed.

"Hey, Xiaoxue is so lucky. He can meet Gao Fushuai just by playing a game. Why have I never encountered such a good thing?" Roommate B sighed.

Roommate C: "I think Xiaoxue's boyfriend is more lucky. Xiaoxue is beautiful and has good grades, and her family business is so big. She is a proper Bai Fumei, and she is the heroine in romance novels."

"What a fairy couple!" The three roommates said in unison.

……

When Qi Xue came outside the dormitory, her boyfriend Xu Li had already arrived. He is more than 1.8 meters tall, standing beside a luxury car, and many girls passing by are peeping at him.

This should be a very eye-catching picture, but for some reason, the moment she saw him, Qi Xue suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxue!" Seeing Qi Xue, Xu Li smiled and waved vigorously to greet her.

"En." Qi Xue tried her best to suppress the discomfort in her heart, and walked in front of Xu Li, "Why didn't you call me when you arrived?"

"I'm worried that you are dealing with other things." Xu Li smiled softly, "It's okay if I wait."

With that said, he opened the car door, put his hand on top of Qi Xue's head, and sent her into the car.

He was very gentlemanly, polite and heartwarming in every move, but as he approached, Qi Xue's uncomfortable feeling became more and more intense.

She fanned it with the palm of her hand, thinking that maybe summer is coming, and the sweltering weather always makes people not so happy.

Xu Liding's is a western restaurant for couples. The environment is quiet, the candlelight is flickering, and the soft piano music floats in the air, showing a romantic atmosphere.

Qi Xue didn't seem to have much appetite, she only took a bite or two of each dish and put it aside.

Xu Li was concerned: "Xiaoxue, are you not feeling well? Are you sick?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Qi Xue's forehead.

The moment his fingertips touched the skin, Qi Xue felt a fishy smell welling up in her throat, and retched subconsciously.

Xu Li was stunned, his hand stayed in mid-air, neither stretched nor retracted.

"Sorry," Qi Xue forced a smile, "I'm not feeling well, I want to go back first."

"Then, then I'll see you off." Xu Li immediately said.

"No need." Qi Xue hurriedly picked up her bag and left in a hurry.

After rushing out of the restaurant, she felt better, her chest heaved violently, and she took a big breath of fresh air.

She didn't know what was wrong with herself, but suddenly felt that Xu Li's always polite face was hypocritical, and the moment he touched her, she had goose bumps all over her body.

At this time, the mobile phone in Xiaokun's bag rang.

She frantically took out her mobile phone, accidentally bumped into the newly bought gourd pendant, and retracted her hand all of a sudden.

How can it be so hot?

She froze for a moment, stretched out her hand again, and lightly touched the gourd with her fingertips.

But this time, nothing happened, as if the burning sensation just now was just her hallucination.

The phone was still ringing, she didn't have time to think about it, she hurriedly pressed the answer button: "Hey, Mom, what's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, the mother said anxiously, "Xiaoxue, hurry home!"

***

In the restaurant, the tall and handsome man stared at the direction where Qi Xue was leaving, his eyes flickering.

The gentle smile on his face had long since disappeared, his expression was gloomy and his eyes were cold.

After a while, he picked up his cell phone and dialed out: "Hello, it's me."

"That little girl from the Qi family seems to have noticed something."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the tone was sharp and intense.

Xu Li's expression became more and more gloomy: "Yes, yes, I know, since I have received the money, I will definitely do what I promised."

***

Qi Xue hurriedly took a taxi to go home.As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked by the scene in the hall.

In the hall, parents, mother, and elder brother were all there. It was rare for a busy family to get together like this.

That's all, there are still people dressed as Taoist priests.

The Qi family is in business, and she knows that her parents usually pay more attention to these things, and there are also Guan Gong in the family, like the God of Wealth, but she has never seen a Taoist priest come to her door.

"Brother, what's going on?" Qi Xue sneaked up to her brother Qi Yong and asked in a low voice.

Qi Yong said to her with a sullen face, "Stand still."

"?" Qi Xue was confused, but she still stood obediently.

The Taoist priest came over, circled around Qi Xue twice, looked her up and down with a serious expression.

The other party's scrutinizing and cautious eyes made Qi Xue get goose bumps all over her body.

As a top student in the Department of Physics, she is a firm believer in Marxism. She believes that there is no scientific basis for the theory of ghosts and gods, but she will not interfere with other people's beliefs.

But at this moment, she couldn't help it, and asked loudly, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Daozhang, how is it?" Father Qi asked Chunwei nervously.

Taoist Priest Chunwei shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Ling Qianjin is fine."

"Huh!" Except for Qi Xue, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Xue: "???"

Can anyone explain, what exactly is going on here?

Qi Yong saw his younger sister's doubts, and said, "Xiaoxue, this is Taoist Master Chunwei of Zhengyang Temple."

Although Qi Xue doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she has heard of Zhengyang Temple.

This is a Taoist temple with a history of thousands of years, which is very famous in the city and even the surrounding areas.

Under Qi Yong's explanation, Qi Xue knew that the Qi family had more or less encountered strange things during this time——

Qi's father fainted inexplicably while working, and Qi's mother always felt that someone was staring at her in the dark. Qi Yong encountered a small car accident on the way to the company. Fortunately, the car was in good condition and nothing major happened...

Qi Xue was taken aback: "Dad, Mom, why didn't you tell me this happened?"

"Isn't it because you're worried?" Mother Qi sighed softly.

Qi Yong continued, all kinds of accidents were added together, and they became suspicious, suspecting that these accidents were not coincidences.So they privately invited Priest Chunwei to check on the situation.

Facts have proved that it is really a man-made disaster.

Taoist Master Chunwei found a strange talisman in the drawer of Qi's father's office, and found traces of being cursed on Qi's mother's jade bracelet, and Qi Yong's car was tampered with...

The Qi family had their own accidents, so Mother Qi called her daughter back in a hurry, fearing that something might happen to her too.

Qi Xue was dumbfounded. As an atheist, it was really hard for her to accept the so-called "ghost bumping".

"Just a coincidence?" she murmured.

Qi Yong said with a cold face: "Our company is fighting for a piece of land recently."

Qi Xue quickly reacted: "You mean, it's a competitor's fault?"

Judging by the expressions on everyone's faces, it was obvious that she guessed right.

Qi Xue bit her lip, not confident enough to say: "But no matter what, I still don't really believe in the theory of supernatural beings."

"Has Miss Qi encountered any strange things recently? Anything is fine." Chunwei said suddenly.

Qi Xue subconsciously wanted to deny it, but stopped abruptly before speaking.

It's not that there are strange things to say...

She hesitated for a moment before saying: "I don't know what's wrong recently. I'm always in a bad mood, and it's hard to concentrate. What just happened, I just turn around and forget it."

"But I don't think it has anything to do with those strange things. Maybe it's just that I haven't had a good rest." Seeing the weird expressions on everyone's faces, she hastily added, "I've fully recovered now. Didn't the priest just say that I'm fine? ?”

Others don't think so.

Chunwei asked again: "Miss Qi, is it convenient for me to check the items you often use?"

Judging from the experience of other members of the Qi family, the reason why they encountered abnormalities has a lot to do with the objects around them.

Qi Xue was helpless, knowing that the other party probably didn't believe what she said, so she simply handed the bag to Chunwei: "Hey, here are the things I carry with me, you can check it."

Knowing that her employer didn't trust her much, Chunwei didn't explain much, she opened the lady's bag silently, and inspected it carefully one by one, not even letting go of the bag's mezzanine.

"How is it, Daoist?" Mother Qi asked nervously when Chunwei stopped moving.

Purely shook his head.

Qi Xue's heart relaxed, and she murmured softly: "I just said it's okay..."

"Miss Qi, what's on your phone?" Chunwei's face changed slightly.

Qi Xue was taken aback for a moment, she just took a taxi and used her mobile phone to pay, so she kept holding her mobile phone without putting it in her bag.

She handed over the phone in a daze: "This is a pendant I just bought today, there can be no problem."

Chunwei stared at the mahogany gourd closely, her breathing became short of breath, and her hands began to tremble.

"A master's handwriting, this must be a master's handwriting!" He repeatedly exclaimed.

Qi Xue: "...?"

She reminded weakly: "Then what, this is just a pendant I bought casually in a fruit shop..."

She didn't even understand why there was such a thing in the fruit shop?

Chunwei said firmly: "This thing is carved out of peach wood, the carver coincides with my Taoist method, the way of Taoism is natural, completely natural, and the gourd is a treasure of Taoism, the person who carved this thing must be a master of my Taoist school. "

Qi Xue was stunned for a while, and was about to refute, when a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.

Speaking of it, it seems that she probably... only recovered after getting this gourd, right?

Seeing his sister's abnormal expression, Qi Yong knew there must be some clues, and asked, "Xiaoxue, just say what comes to your mind, Master Chunwei is here, maybe he can help you clear up your doubts."

Qi Xue also began to feel that this matter was too weird, so she stopped hesitating and explained today's experience in detail.

"Wait, did you have a boyfriend, or online dating?" Qi Yong's face changed slightly.

"..." Qi Xue blushed all over her face, "That's not the point!"

"But I feel that what Mr. Qi said is exactly the point." Chunwei said.

Qi Xue frowned: "What does the Taoist priest mean?"

Chunwei smiled slightly and asked her: "Miss Qi, did you feel mentally unwell at first, was it before or after you met your boyfriend?"

Qi Xue was startled, and recalled carefully.

She and Xu Li met in the game, they chatted very well, and they were in the same place, and they were offline soon.It didn't take long for Xu Li to confess to her, and she happened to have a crush on him, so she agreed.

It was only a month before and after, and the two had only dated for half a month, and she felt lack of energy at first, it seemed that it was really after meeting Xu Li!

Qi Xue felt like being struck by lightning, her mind was in a mess and she almost stopped thinking.

how come?Does Xu Li approach him for another purpose?This is impossible!

She tried her best to deny it, but couldn't help thinking of the scene in the western restaurant not long ago.

When Xu Li touched her, she felt uncomfortable and even nauseated, and she got better after leaving him.

"Ms. Qi's boyfriend may have a problem." Chunwei concluded, "But fortunately, Miss Qi got this peach wood gourd, so nothing happened."

Qi Yong sneered: "I just said that online dating is unreliable!"

"..." Qi Xue was speechless.

Thinking back now, Qi Xue also felt that she had lost her mind in the past month, and she agreed to meet Ji just because she thought the other party could chat well, and then quickly agreed to date, which is really absurd.

"Miss Qi, you'd better not associate with that Xu Li again." Chunwei said seriously, "The other party may have another purpose."

Qi Xue smiled wryly.How could she continue to associate with Xu Li after this incident happened?I shudder to think of the oddities of the past month.

In front of everyone, she blocked and deleted all the contact information about Xu Li on her phone.

Qi Yong breathed a sigh of relief, patted his sister on the shoulder, and said, "Online dating is risky, so we must be cautious."

Qi Xue couldn't help but rolled her eyes, it was rare that she didn't refute her annoying brother.

Chunwei is very interested in the origin of the peach-wood gourd, and after finding out the address of Wonderful Fruit Store, she decides to go there to find out.

……

Among the crowd, a Taoist priest is still very conspicuous, and the return rate is not 100%, but also 90.00%.

Fortunately, Chunwei is also used to being watched, so he walked through the crowd calmly and walked towards the fruit shop.

However, before he reached his destination, he sensed a ghostly aura that seemed to be there.

His heart beat heavily, and he looked around warily, wondering why there would be any monsters who would dare to appear in the downtown area in broad daylight.

Soon, he saw a kitten with shiny black hair, nestled lazily on a cushion, basking in the sun.

He frowned slightly, realizing that the evil spirit emanated from the black cat.

But why did the cat demon appear in the city?

Looking at the lazy black cat, Chunwei wondered if someone mistakenly took the demon cat as an ordinary house cat.

Thinking of this, he immediately became nervous.

People in the world say that the sect and the demon clan are incompatible, but that's not always the case.

The monster race is also divided into good and bad. For good monsters, people in the Taoist sect will not interfere with them, and only when facing those vicious and vicious monster tribes, the Taoist sect will take action to suppress the monsters.

But whether this cat demon is good or evil needs further judgment.

Chunwei held her breath, and approached the black cat quietly, but before he could get closer, the black cat stood up straight, looking straight at him with a pair of deep eyes.

Chunwei was taken aback, the cat demon's eyes were so sharp!

Thin beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his back was also wet with cold sweat, and the wet feeling of the Taoist robe sticking to his body was uncomfortable.

But he didn't have time to pay attention to other things, he just stared at the black cat anxiously, for fear that the monster would suddenly go berserk.

One person and one cat are facing each other like this, the noise around them seems to be covered by a glass cover, and time seems to stand still here.

Until one hand lifted the glass cover and picked up the black cat.

Chunwei watched in a daze as the owner of the hand hugged the black cat into his arms and rubbed the cat's head vigorously, but the little demon remained silent and was extremely obedient.

If she didn't know the truth in advance, Chunwei really thought it was just an ordinary kitten.

"Guest, what do you need?" Xuan Chu asked with a smile.

In fact, the moment the Taoist priest appeared, he felt something.

However, he didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, so he stood still for the time being until the Taoist and Brown Tang faced each other.

Chunwei was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously raised her head.

Under the sun, the words "Wonderful Fruit" on the signboard are shining brightly.

Astonishment flashed across Chunwei's eyes, and he subconsciously blurted out: "This cat——"

"I raised this cat," Xuan Chu said immediately, "Is there any problem?"

Chunwei carefully looked at the young man who was as beautiful as a star in front of him, and made sure that he didn't feel the slightest bit of evil spirit from him, so he gently let go of his high-slung heart.

Just not the enemy.

Chunwei couldn't help asking: "Is there anything weird about this cat?"

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows: "What does the guest mean?"

Chunwei: "Uh, it's just different from other cats."

"Yes." Xuan Chu nodded.

Chunwei's breathing stagnated, her voice trembled slightly, and her whole body tensed up: "What is it?"

But seeing Xuan Chu affectionately stroked the black cat, with a rippling smile on his face: "Our brown sugar is cuter than other cats."

Chunwei: "..."

Can't talk today!

Seeing his speechless expression, Xuan Chu pretended not to know anything, and said again: "Is this the first time this guest is here? Shall I introduce you?"

Only then did Chunwei realize that her reason for coming was for the mahogany gourd.He coughed lightly: "I heard that you have wood carvings here?"

Xuan Chu smiled and took him to the shelf where the wood carvings were placed: "Yes, what kind of wood carvings do you want?"

Chunwei waved his hand: "I'll see for myself."

With just one glance, he can be sure that the peach wood gourd in Qi Xue's hand was indeed sold here.

Thinking of the cat monster again, Chunwei felt that this fruit shop was not simple.

Without making a fuss, he picked out a mahogany sword of the same Daoist style, intending to buy it back and study it carefully to find out what the store is and why he came to Tianhai City.

In order not to make his behavior seem too strange, after choosing the wooden sword, he pretended to stroll to the fruit area and picked some guavas at random.

Guava is guava. Its light green skin looks a bit rough and unremarkable, but it tastes sweet and juicy, with a refreshing fragrance.

"Guest, it's best to eat guava with sour plum powder, which can highlight the sweetness of guava, and the taste is amazing." Xuan Chu came out of nowhere and strongly recommended it.

Chunwei's attention was on the mahogany sword, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he said casually: "Okay, then I'll have another box of sour plum powder."

***

When Chunwei returned to Zhengyang Temple, he happened to meet a group of nephews.

Chunwei is his master's closed disciple, said to be an elder, but in fact, his age is not much different from these nephews, and the relationship between the two parties is good on weekdays.

Seeing that he was carrying a bag of guava, the nephews all coaxed those who saw him to have a share.

Chunwei wanted to go back and study mahogany swords, so she handed them guava and sour plum powder, and asked them to divide them by themselves.

This research has been studied for several hours, but there is not much gain.

The carving method of this wooden sword is indeed similar to the traditional Taoist knife method, but there are differences, and it is not sure which sect of Taoism it is from.

Suddenly, there were a few exclamations from outside, which seemed particularly scary in the quiet night.

His eyelids twitched, he said something happened, and rushed out of the room immediately.

The voice came from the courtyard where the nephews lived, and when he arrived, he saw a group of nephews forming a circle, and the one in the middle practicing kung fu cross-legged was Mahiro, the third apprentice of his elder brother.

No need for him to ask questions, the nephews have already talked about it——

"Master, Master, Mahiro has made a breakthrough!"

"I saw it with my own eyes! We were doing homework together, and as we were doing it, Mahiro suddenly started to glow, which surprised me."

Only then did Chunwei understand that it turned out that nephew Zhenhong somehow broke through the existing realm when he was practicing, which caused a commotion.

Now that the aura is declining and the Taoism is declining, it is not easy to practice Taoism.For ascetics, if it is not a test of life and death, it is difficult to break through the realm.

Just like Chunwei, when he encountered danger when he was catching demons with his senior brother, he suddenly woke up at a critical moment, and only then did he break through the Qi refining stage and enter the foundation building stage.

Masahiro is considered an outstanding student among his generation's disciples, but even so, he is always wandering in refining Qi and can't figure out the trick to enter the foundation establishment.

Unexpectedly, on such a peaceful night, he just did his homework as usual, and inexplicably broke through.

Zhenhong is the first disciple in this generation to ascend to the foundation-building realm, this matter is no small matter, even the master of the temple, who is Chunwei's master, was alarmed and came here specially.

However, in the face of everyone's questions, Masahiro himself couldn't tell why.

"Why did it break through? I don't know, wow, I was shocked myself."

"Tell me, could it be that Senior Brother Zhenhong had some kind of adventure, such as accidentally eating an elixir or something?" A little Taoist had a big brain.

"Stop reading Xiuxian novels!" Everyone snorted at him.

Unexpectedly, Zhenhong said in a daze: "Speaking of this, I remembered it. After I ate the guava given by Master Chunwei today, I felt a warm current rising in the dantian. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but later When I practiced, I felt more relaxed than usual, and then I broke through."

"Me too!" Someone shouted, "I thought it was an illusion!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Taoist priests who had eaten guava before expressed that they had similar feelings.

Chunwei noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, and it took a while before she uttered a syllable: "Ah?"

He also doesn't know anything wow!

No, no, he still knew something.

Chunwei suddenly thought of the cat monster, the mahogany sword and the mahogany gourd from the Miracle Fruit Store, so he collected himself and briefly explained what happened during the day.

The temple master thought for a long time, and said: "Chunwei, the little owner of the fruit shop you mentioned is very likely to be a senior from my Taoist sect."

Chunwei nodded, he also suspected that the little boss was not an ordinary person, but unfortunately he couldn't find any clues to prove his identity.

Chunwei hurriedly said: "I will go and inquire tomorrow."

"No." The temple master shook his head and reminded him solemnly, "Don't disturb the master."

Chunwei was taken aback for a moment, suddenly realized something, cold sweat immediately soaked through her clothes.

It's because he didn't understand for a while, if the other party is really a senior from the Taoist sect, wouldn't he be courting death if he tried every means to find out the details of the other party?

Since that expert chose to hide his identity and live in the city, he must have deep meaning in opening a secular fruit shop in the downtown area.

All they can do is to keep the secret for the expert.

"Then, can we still buy fruit in the future?" A little Taoist priest asked cautiously.

Everyone saw Zhenhong's experience. After knowing that he was promoted because of a few guavas, they were all envious and wanted to have such luck.

Chunwei held her breath and looked nervously at the temple master.

To be honest, he now regrets why he sent guava out. What he sent was not fruit, but a panacea that could help him practice!

The host pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Since the master chooses to open such a store, he must also want to live an ordinary life, and you don't need to deliberately avoid it, just treat the master as an ordinary person."

All the Taoists nodded like pounding garlic.

Just let them buy water (xian) and fruit (dan)!

***

Chunwei came to Wonderful Fruit Store again, this time he changed into casual clothes and covered the Taoist bun with a hat, making him less conspicuous.

He was just like an ordinary guest, carrying a fruit basket and concentrating on picking fruits.

"Aww." The black cat demon appeared again. The little guy was perched on the top shelf, his eyes scanning with contempt, like an emperor on tour, inspecting his country.

Chunwei couldn't help sneaking a glance, but unfortunately met the black cat's eyes that were as deep as a cold pool, her heart missed half a beat, and she hurriedly looked away.

According to the master's guess, this cat demon should be a monster subdued by the Taoist master. It may be so ferocious, but he can't afford it.

Fortunately, the black cat didn't seem to be interested in him either. With its tail bent, it walked proudly towards the ball of wool with a solemn expression.

Soon, the kitten became entangled with the ball of yarn, and its four paws danced vigorously in the air.Fierce is very fierce, I don't know if it is fierce enough.

Chunwei: "..."

Chunwei looked away blankly, pretending she didn't see anything, and walked towards the cashier.

Unexpectedly, there was trouble when checking out.

"Sir, I'm sorry, the fruit you picked is overweight."

Chunwei was stunned, it was the first time he knew about being overweight when shopping.

"Is this your first visit to our store?" Zhang Chao explained with a smile, "There is a rule in the store that each customer can buy no more than three kilograms of fruit at a time, except for large fruits like watermelons, but each No more than two."

"Ah?" Chunwei was dumbfounded.

"Can you accommodate me?" He whispered to Zhang Chao, "We have a lot of people, only three kilograms, not enough."

Zhang Chao shrugged, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this is a rule. If I give you accommodation, it is unfair to other guests."

"That's right, who doesn't want to buy more?"

"Little brother, seeing that you are also a gentleman, you must not disobey the rules."

After being told by other customers in the store, Chunwei blushed with embarrassment, and was afraid of offending the Taoist senior, so she had to call her nephews to join her in the fight.

However, Zhengyang Temple was in the outskirts of the city, and when the little Taoist priests arrived, there were not many fruits left.

Seeing the disappointed look of a group of people, Zhang Chao also felt a little sorry: "I'm sorry, we don't want to violate the rules."

The Taoist priests believed that this fruit shop had an extraordinary history, so how dare they ask the people in the shop to apologize casually?

Everyone hurriedly waved their hands: "It's okay, it's okay, let's come earlier next time."

"Hey, it's not a big deal. The big deal is that we'll come and line up early every day, and we'll treat it as morning class."

If the fruits here can really increase their cultivation, let alone crossing the city, they would be happy to run around the city every day.

"Come here every day?" Zhang Chao frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, and asked vigilantly, "Why do you buy so many fruits?"

Zhang Chao is responsible for the management of the "Two Weibo" account. Recently, the background has received messages one after another, saying that someone is selling fruits online under the banner of Wonderful Fruit Store. It has been verified that the products sold are indeed genuine products, but the price is more than doubled.

He suspected that it was a gang of scalpers who committed the crime, but he couldn't catch the gang because he had no clues.

Right now, this group of people were dressed suspiciously—all of them were wearing hats as if they were hiding something, and they said they would come to buy fruit every day, which made him think of the group of scalpers.

Chun Wei hurriedly said: "We are here to make afternoon tea for the company."

Well, Taoist Temple can also be regarded as a company, right?

But Zhang Chao didn't dare to believe it, and whispered: "What kind of company, are the employee benefits so good?"

Chunwei has a deep understanding of what it means to draw more and more black.The more he explained, the more Zhang Chao refused to believe it. He suspected that they had other purposes, and refused to sell them even the remaining fruit.

At this moment, when he saw Xuan Chu appearing with brown sugar in his arms, he broke out in sweat.

He was afraid that this senior would also suspect them, which was really self-defeating.

Fortunately, nothing that worried Chunwei happened.

Zhang Chaofu whispered something in Xuanchu's ear, but Xuanchu smiled and said, "It's okay, you get off work, I'll take care of the rest."

When the boss said so, Zhang Chao had no choice but to agree, and still stared at Chunwei's group vigilantly before leaving.

Facing Xuan Chu, Chunwei's heart pounded, feeling uneasy.

"Are you Taoist priests?" Xuan Chu opened his mouth and made a big move.

Chunwei's face turned pale immediately, but he couldn't say anything when he wanted to explain, feeling worse than a fishbone stuck in his throat.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you." Xuan Chu was still laughing, not looking like he was going to get angry.

Chunwei plucked up her courage: "You, what are your orders?"

Xuanchu: "Do you want to buy fruits from my store?"

All the Taoist priests nodded wildly, then shook their heads violently.

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows: "Is it true or not?"

Chunwei was pushed out by his nephews, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet: "Uh, it's..."

A fruit that is like a panacea, who wouldn't want it?

Xuan Chu said bluntly: "I can provide you with a certain amount of fruit every day."

"What did you say?!" Chun Wei felt dizzy as she was hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Xuan Chu repeated with a smile.

The development of the matter to this point was far beyond Chunwei's expectations, instead he hesitated and asked cautiously: "Do you...do you have any conditions?"

"Oh, there really are." Xuan Chu thought for a while and clapped his hands together.

When he said that, Chunwei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this is normal.

Xuan Chu said again: "Our store is short of manpower, and the transportation of the fruit needs to be solved by you."

Chunwei waited for a long time, but did not see Xuanchu continuing to talk, he was taken aback: "That's it?"

"Otherwise?" Xuan Chu looked at him with a half-smile, and asked, "What else do you want?"

"...No, nothing." Chunwei blushed and hurriedly denied it.

……

Until the two parties signed the purchase contract, Chunwei still felt unreal, as if everything that happened right now was just a dream.

But this dream is so real that it is frightening——

The master of Taoism stretched out his hand to him: "It's a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation..." Chunwei shook hands with him in a daze, and a wonderful feeling spread throughout his body along the meridians.

He woke up in an instant, stared at Xuan Chu with wide eyes and disbelief.

Xuan Chu smiled and winked at him: "Take care of me in the future."

***

On the way back to Zhengyang Temple, the teachers and nephews discussed with great interest the Wonderful Fruit Shop and the expert owner.

They had a dispute over the senior's origin.

"An expert must be Zhengyi. Zhengyi is good at casting gods and exorcising ghosts. He mainly lives in scattered places and can wear common clothes. Believe me, I am right!" Someone swore.

Oh, naive.What is the true way, in front of that person, it is nothing.

Chunwei smiled slightly, seemingly calm, but his tightly clenched fists and the corners of his mouth that could not stop rising revealed his surging heart.

……

The group of people in Zhengyang Temple gradually disappeared from the field of vision, only then did Xuan Chu retract his gaze and hide the light in his eyes.

When Chunwei first appeared in the fruit shop, Xuanchu was alerted.He thought that although he had the ability to conceal his demonic power, brown sugar could not. If he was not careful, his identity would be revealed and trouble would arise.

But as the fruit shop became more and more famous, it was bound to attract more attention and discussions. If something went wrong by then, among other things, he would definitely not be able to stay in the human world to make money.

——Heavenly Court has very strict regulations in this regard, strictly prohibiting ascetics from revealing their identities to ordinary humans.

However, Taoist priests are not within the scope of this "ordinary human race".This is also an important reason why Xuanchu chose to find Chunwei.

He needs a helper, a collaborator who can cover him and the fruit shop if necessary.

Xuanchu had inquired about it, and the status of Zhengyang Temple in the local area is not low.That's why he offered to cooperate with them and bind the two parties in the same boat.In case something happens in the future, maybe Zhengyang Temple can help.

"Brother, this is the fruit shop where I buy gourds." Qi Xue introduced to the man in suit and leather shoes beside him.

Before coming here, Qi Yong did research in advance and knew that this wonderful fruit shop was very popular recently, but when he came there in person, he was still taken aback.

"So lively?" He couldn't believe it.

Qi Xue was also taken aback: "Strange, there were obviously not so many people before..."

After the expansion of Wonderful Fruit Store, the queuing situation is much easier than before.But now, the long-lost long queue at the entrance of the fruit shop reappeared, and it was even more exaggerated than before.

She couldn't help asking the people in line: "Student, is there any activity in the fruit shop today? There are so many people."

"Hey, everyone is here to appreciate the artwork." The other party replied.

"Artwork?" Qi Xue was confused. This is obviously a fruit shop, so how could there be a work of art?

"We are from the Academy of Fine Arts of Tianhai University. We heard from Dean Yu that the woodcarving products sold in this store are exquisitely carved and are masterpieces, so we came here to observe them."

Qi Xue and Qi Yong looked at each other.

What a coincidence, they also came because of woodcarving.

Previously, the Qi family was plotted against by their opponents, and Qi Xue was almost bewitched by her online dating boyfriend because of the peach wood gourd.

Now that the Qi family has overcome the difficulties and successfully obtained the land, they have time to deal with the accident.

Settle accounts, settle accounts, repay favors.

People who do business pay more or less attention to Feng Shui.Afterwards, the Qi family thought about this and felt that the wood carvings in this shop were not simple, so they moved their minds.

It just so happened that a hotel under the Qi family was about to open, so they planned to buy a batch of wood carvings to put in the hotel, both as a decoration and as a ward off evil.

By the way, also for gratitude.

Xuanchu had noticed the brothers and sisters of the Qi family early on.

He still remembered Qi Xue, this girl had a dark air lingering between her brows, obviously haunted by ghosts, that's why he recommended mahogany gourd to her.

Peach wood can ward off evil spirits and cure ghosts.Gourd has the meaning of "blessing", and many people in Taoism use gourd as a magic weapon.The double buffs are superimposed, and the ghost persists for less than half a minute before wailing.

Looking at her looking good now, I think the trouble has been solved.

Seeing Xuan Chu, Qi Xue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pulled her brother forward: "Boss, boss, do you still remember me? I bought a peach wood gourd pendant from you earlier."

Xuan Chu nodded with a smile.

Qi Yong stepped forward to explain his purpose.

"You guys want to buy wood carvings—" Xuan Chu dragged out the end of his voice.

"Is there a problem?" Qi Xue became nervous.
