Daoist, please stay

Chapter 1 The Old House Bride

The blood moon is in the sky, an old house.

Red lanterns were hung on the door lintel, blood-red Xi characters were pasted on the door panel, and the floor was paved with red silk. The surrounding seemed to be lively, but there was no one in sight.

Tao Xi didn't struggle this time, and walked obediently into the house, walked to the west wing, pushed open the carved wooden door, and walked to the red-clothed bride on the bed...

"Husband, quickly take off my hijab."

The light and pleasant voice came out of the mouth of the bride in red, revealing such a piercing chill.

Tao Xi couldn't help scratching his head.

Husband?

This background, this attire, should be called Xianggong, right?

It's time to cross the stage, Miss Sister.

Seeing that he was not moving, the other party couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull him.

Those hands were pale and thin, like... like dead bones, with the coldness of death...

"Unity is strength, unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel..."

The high-decibel movement beside the pillow finally brought Tao Xi back to reality from the deep dream.

When he opened his eyes suddenly, it was the white ceiling of the rental house.

It was already daylight.

Tao Xi closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, sweating profusely.

Fumbling to cross off the phone alarm clock.

It's half past five.

Wake up and take a shower.

With messy hair like a chicken coop, Tao Xi brushed his teeth in the mirror expressionlessly.

This is the first time.

I've been having this nightmare every now and then.

At the beginning, the dream was interrupted at the gate of the old house.

Then it was into the yard.

And then I opened the door to see the bride...

Today is not bad, with substantial progress, the bride can already call her husband.

It's a pity that the young lady is dressed in a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and she calls her husband when she opens her mouth. She has turned the immersive Chinese wedding experience into a cosplay experience.

Thinking of this, Tao Xi couldn't help shivering, and pouted in the mirror.

Hey~~~~ So shameless, I dreamed that a young lady called you husband!Take advantage of others!

Splashing two splashes of water on his face made him sober up a little.

Tao Xi reflected seriously.

Although dreams are always reversed, what does it mean to always dream of getting married?

Spring?

Half an hour later, after tidying up, Tao Xi pulled on a small trolley with three big characters of "Zhenxianduo" printed on it, and went out beautifully.

This is Pingzhou, a garden city away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Located in the outskirts of the capital, because it is too far away, there is a little lack of economic development.

And because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has rare and beautiful scenery, it has been planned as a tourism development city, a slow-paced garden city, and a sanctuary for retired grandparents in the capital and nearby big cities.

Tao Xi chose this place as the starting point for her career development, because the people here are rich in life, less mentally stressed, and more importantly, the rent is cheap.

For example, the small apartment he is renting now is only 600 yuan a month!

No deposit required!Rent is paid once a month!What a bargain!

Tao Xi, who was short on money and urgently needed a place to stay, happily rented this room without much hesitation, and was eager to start her new life!

On the ancient street in the center of the old city of Pingzhou, there is an ancient temple called Duta Temple.

The scale is small, and it was built in the bustling ancient street city. It is said that it was built in the late Tang Dynasty and the early Liao Dynasty. It is one of the most complete buildings in the late Tang Dynasty in the world.

Therefore, it is also one of the key tourist attractions in Pingzhou.

The significance of visiting this temple as a scenic spot is far greater than the significance of visiting incense.

However, in recent years, the incense has gradually become more popular. After all, everyone has money and leisure, so they want to think about ghosts and gods to fill their empty spiritual life.

This is also the main reason why Tao Xi chose this place as the starting point of his career.

Tao Xi's work, in a more complicated way, is to solve metaphysical doubts and confusions for the general public through means such as reading, divination, and word testing, and thus collect a small amount of commission; in simpler terms, it is a trickster.

Of course, it is not acceptable to say that Tao Xi was deceived by bluffing.

He insisted that although he was a monk halfway, he had a very high level of comprehension. He knew a little bit about all kinds of Taoist methods. Selling some souvenirs for a living is the same price as the stall next door, there is absolutely no cheating!

That's not wrong.

Although little comrade Tao Xi has a tender face and doesn't look like a very virtuous sub, but he is very good at measuring characters and looking at the bones. After several foreign tourists experienced it for themselves, all of them were amazed: they were really impressed by him. I hit the mark seven or seven eighty-eight.In addition, Xiao Banxian is very good-looking, so everyone is willing to chat with him, buy some souvenirs from him, and help his business.

So in less than half a month, Tao Xi has stabilized in the boundary of Pingzhou.

This period is the peak tourist season, and the traffic on the ancient streets is much larger than usual, which is a good time to make money!

Tao Xi hurriedly found a familiar newsstand and set up a stall beside it.

The owner of the newsstand is also his landlord.

This is an old native of Pingzhou. Thanks to Tao Xi, he was able to occupy a place in the "Feng Shui Treasure Land" which is less than 20 meters away from the Duta Temple.

This place is obliquely facing the Duta Temple, and tourists can see his stall as soon as they go out. There are also newsstands selling water, snacks and souvenirs to naturally attract traffic. Tao Xi's business is so busy that there is no time for lunch.

The landlord is not here today, and it is his granddaughter who looks after the shop.

As soon as Wang Huanhuan saw Tao Xi approaching, he ran out of the newspaper kiosk like a rabbit and offered soy milk and fried dough sticks.

"Brother Tao Xi, you came so early today, you haven't eaten yet."

Tao Xi smiled and took it.

"Yeah, I was in a hurry on the road, and I didn't have time to buy it. Thank you, I will transfer the money to you on WeChat later."

Wang Huanhuan looked at Tao Xi with good eyes, and his cheekbones rose to the sky with a smile.

"It's okay, don't worry."

After Tao Xi cleaned up her things, she was finally able to catch her breath and swallowed half a cup of soy milk in one go. While eating, she chatted with Wang Huanhuan, waiting for customers to come to her door.

Wang Huanhuan likes Tao Xi very much.

Because the other party looks very good-looking!

He is white and clean, and he speaks slowly, without rushing.It's not like ordinary people running around on the streets to make a living, but rather like a young master from a wealthy family coming out to experience life.

Especially those male students in their class who are so filthy compared to him, they are like a pheasant seeing a phoenix, and they pale in comparison!

So Wang Huanhuan, who was in a spring heart, rested his chin on one hand, his eyes burning.

"Brother Tao Xi, did you not sleep well yesterday? I see you have dark circles under your eyes."

"Ah? Is there?" Tao Xi was stunned, and his mind automatically recalled the weird dream last night, feeling a little guilty. "Okay? I slept well."

"Yes!" Wang Huanhuan said firmly, and looked around again, with a bit of distress in his tone. "Your face isn't very ruddy, it's a bit haggard. Brother Tao Xi, are you not used to living in it? That old house is really not very comfortable because it's cold in winter and hot in summer. Why don't you live in another place? I still have an empty house. The house here is big and spacious, but it’s a little farther away than the Fugui Jiayuan set.”

Tao Xi quickly denied it.

"No, no, I live very comfortably, so I don't need to change it."

Just kidding, big and spacious house, the rent is more than three times what it is now!Don't try to trick him into paying more rent!He is now a person who wants to break a dollar into two halves!

Wang Huanhuan was slightly disappointed, "It's fine if you like it. But the weather is going to be hot soon, and I'll ask my grandpa to install an air conditioner in your house later. That house is stuffy and hot in summer, and it's a pain to not have an air conditioner."

Tao Xi loves to sweat and is afraid of heat.

Hearing this makes me a little hesitant.

asked tentatively.

"Then...will the installation of air conditioners increase the rent?"

With a wave of her little hand, Wang Huanhuan became her grandfather's master.

"Not up! Air conditioner, TV, washing machine, isn't this a standard configuration?"

Tao Xi was happy, smiling brightly.

"Then thank you, Mr. Wang!"

The two were talking and laughing, not paying attention to a person not far away, staring at them for a while.

This man was tall and tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. He was wearing a very weird gray cloth jacket, black trousers, and black cloth shoes. It matched the style of the Duta Temple, but it didn't match the modern street scene.

The man stared at Tao Xi for almost half an hour, and finally moved.

As soon as he took a long leg, he arrived in front of Tao Xi's fortune-telling stall in a few quick steps.

Tao Xi looked up with a smile when he saw that the business was done.

"Sir, do you want to tell your fortune?"

The strange man grunted, looked at Tao Xi again, and sat down on the pony in front of the stall.

Tao Xi is about to open the first one today, so he is naturally very attentive.

"Testing characters and looking at the bones, sir, do you want to ask about the future, marriage or fortune?"

The man had a pair of very sharp long and narrow phoenix eyes, three-dimensional facial features, sharp edges and corners, and his temples almost reached his temples. Tao Xi glanced casually, and secretly exclaimed: This man has an unusual face, he is a ruthless character.

The man's sharp and thin lips parted slightly, and his eyes were naked and sharp.

"I don't measure anything."

Before Tao Xi could speak, Wang Huanhuan quit.

"Forget it, why did you come here? Make trouble? Let me tell you, my uncle is the captain of the county law enforcement team. Don't try to make trouble with us!"

Tao Xi was afraid that the little girl's words would offend others, so she quickly put on a smile.

"Don't mind this gentleman, she's talking nonsense. If you don't know what to say, do you have any other needs? I can do anything else except look at the feng shui of the yin house."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly.

"Oh, seeing how young you are, you actually have so many? Then tell me, how is my fate?"

Tao Xi's heart sank, this tone, this posture, I'm afraid he really came to make trouble.

However, as the saying goes, you don't reach out to hit a smiling face, he treats each other with courtesy, and it depends on the angle from which the other party wants to attack.

"Then sir, can you provide the horoscope of your next birthday? I'll calculate it."

The man smiled and shook his head.

"Little friend, come out to mess with you. Master didn't tell you, can't you just give people a date of birth?"

Tao Xi was so angry that he held back his anger and continued to speak politely.

"Then let me analyze it from the aspect of physiognomy."

"Sir, you have a full heaven and a fair complexion. You are the face of great wealth and great wealth, but your parents are not well-connected in the palace. It should be because you have been away from your parents since you were a child or unfortunately your parents died early."

The man smiles and nods.

"Good point. Carry on."

"The eyebrows are long and smooth, thick and not messy. They are resolute and assertive. The husband should have a plan for his life."

"Sir, the husband and wife palace is perfect, but the children's palace is not as satisfactory... With all due respect, sir, I am afraid that the fate of children is not good, but there will be a lover who will accompany him for a lifetime."

The man raised his eyebrows.

"There are too many things to do in the future. You continue to talk."

"Mr. has a straight nose, no knots and no moles. He is an open-minded gentleman, but somewhat conceited, and it is difficult to listen to the opinions of the people around him."

Listening to the expression of the man in the gray coat, his expression gradually relaxed, and he looked at Tao Xi with a hint of playfulness in his exploration.

After he finished analyzing, the man even clapped his hands appreciatively.

"It's mostly true."

Tao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Mr. can trust my ability..."

Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly came forward, which made Tao Xi lean back in a panic and almost fell down.

"You...what are you doing?"

"such a pity."

The man shook his head lightly, "You know how to read faces, why didn't you see that you were going to be in trouble?"
