    Chapter 239

    After discussing the philosophy of life with the abbot for two days, Ye Xu finally waited for Master Ye.

    Mrs. Ye's wife's diplomatic effect is very remarkable. After returning home, Mrs. Fang told her master, and the master surnamed Cao immediately listened to her heart.

    Business people are very superstitious, especially in the God of Wealth. Even in the 21st century, many merchants have statues of the God of Wealth in their homes, not to mention this age. Therefore, Master Cao changed the itinerary without saying a word. After discussing business with Master Ye on the third day, he planned to invite him to the temple to find an expert to calculate his fortune.

    Since they are all ready to cooperate, they have to show some sincerity. Naturally, this kind of good news cannot be concealed, and they have to take others with them.

    Ye Ye was a little hesitant at first. People in Buddhism have never cared about fame and fortune. How could they change their fortunes for others? Talking about things like money and money in a pure way in Buddhism feels like a blasphemy to the Buddha.

    However, seeing Master Cao's sworn appearance, he was shaken again.

    In the end, he gladly agreed to go with Master Cao. Whether it's true or not, Master Cao invited him, and he couldn't shirk it.

    Ye Xu found out as soon as Master Ye stepped into Qixia Temple. He put down the tea cup in his hand and turned to look in the direction of Master Ye. Across the courtyard wall and several halls in the middle, naturally, he couldn't see anything, but he seemed to really see something.

    "There is a demon." Ye Xu's face was slightly solemn.

    The abbot was stunned: "Is there a monster?"

    To be honest, he has never seen supernatural phenomena in his life, except for Ye Xu's strange appearance. Therefore, although wealthy people often claim that there are demons and ghosts in their homes, he never really believed them.

    The illusory gods and Buddhas seem to be fake and do not exist at all. Although the abbot would not directly say that he suspects that there is no Buddha in time, he actually has doubts in his heart.

    Even the existence of Buddha is hesitant, let alone monsters. The abbot always thought that there were really no fairies in the world.

    Ye Xu turned his head and said to Mo Bei, the boy beside him, "Go and invite people."

    "Yes, a real person." Mo Bei acted in a decent manner.

    On the other side, Master Ye and Master Cao entered the temple, first went to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and then searched for a little novice and asked him where the eminent monk who was able to count wealth was. The little novice was at a loss. He had never heard of such an eminent monk in the temple.

    Before he could say anything, Mo Bei had already appeared behind the hall, walked around the screen that blocked his figure, and walked over. He came all the way from the yard at a very fast speed, and his feet seemed to shrink into an inch. The pilgrims and monks along the road were amazed by this, and could not help but sigh that it was indeed a method of the Xianjia.

    "Two people who are destined." Mo Bei flicked his whisk and bowed to the two of them, "My real person is invited."

    Master Ye and Master Cao looked at each other in surprise, how come there are little Daotong here? And listen to what he meant, there is a real person who has arrived home, and is also behind.

    Businessmen dare not offend Daoist real people. After all, the God of Wealth is a god in the Taoist mythology system. They quickly followed Mo Bei and hurried to the backyard.

    After a while, the destination arrived. Mo Bei pushed open the courtyard door and asked the two of you to enter.

    Master Ye glanced at it, and in the quiet and elegant courtyard, there were two masters sitting face to face. One is an old man wearing a cassock with soft brows, and the other is a young man with a dusty temperament in gossip robes.

    Although Ye Xu doesn't look so old, his style is very intimidating. The two masters did not dare to despise them, and saluted them honestly: "I have seen the master, I have seen the real person."

    The abbot looked at these two people inquiringly. Are there any monsters among them?

    Ye Xu motioned for them to come and take a seat.

    "The two of you are here to test your fortune, right?" Ye Xu's expression was light.

    Master Cao hurriedly said: "The real person has no doubts, the two of us are here to measure the fortune!"

    Ye Xu glanced at him quietly and said, "You took over the family's cloth business from your father's, but at the beginning it was not smooth, and there were often small problems with the cloth. Although the business was not affected by the timely detection, it was also annoying. It's very annoying. After the 30s, the business gradually went smoothly, but recently I encountered bad luck and lost two businesses."

    "What the real person said is very true!" Master Cao suddenly became excited.

    The other thing is good, when he first took over the family business, the only people who knew about the small troubles were him and his confidants, and he didn't even tell the wife of the family.

    Those things are also simple to say, that is, after someone ordered a lot of cloth from them, his confidant was worried about making mistakes, so he checked the cloth again before sending it away, and found that several of them were damaged. So quickly removed the bad ones and replaced them with intact ones, so dared to send the goods to the buyer.

    Since then, he and his confidants have kept an eye on them, asking them to check in private before every shipment. As a result, similar problems occurred several times in a row. Sometimes the fabric was broken, sometimes the fabric was stained, and sometimes the wrong number of pieces of fabric were taken, not what the customer wanted.

    Master Cao has always suspected that a villain is at work, but he has never found out who is doing the trick. He kept it a secret, just to lead the snake out of the hole. Later, the spy was found out, who was taking advantage of the family to harm him.

    However, Mr. Cao did not make the matter public, but found an excuse to deal with the traitor, so Boss Cao could be sure that no third person knew about it.

    In addition, his business has been plagued by bad luck recently, and he has not told outsiders, only those close to him know about it. Ye Xu could never find out, after all, his business just failed, and people outside didn't know whether he succeeded or failed when he negotiated business.

    With these two points, Master Cao was convinced. He didn't have time to wonder why the Taoist priest stayed in the monk's temple, but directly begged Ye Xu to tell him what his fortune was in the future, and whether it would be ruined by trivial things in life.

    "Don't worry, this setback is just God's will. You go back and have a good rest for a few days, and the matter will be resolved naturally. You will grow old in the future, so don't worry." Ye Xu gave him a reassurance and went back to Looking at Master Ye, "This master has a concubine in his house recently?"

    When talking about this kind of thing in Buddhism, Ye Ye was a little embarrassed. He nodded politely with a smile, but the smile was stiff at first glance.

    Master Cao doesn't have the heart to care about the purity of Buddhism at this moment. He only thinks that his life is very good, that he can grow old in peace and prosperity, and he doesn't have to worry about falling into the middle of the family. Seeing Master Ye being asked about his concubine at this moment, he immediately made fun of him.

    "Brother Ye, you are happy. I didn't hear that you took another concubine."

    When it came to the concubine, Ye Ye was embarrassed, but he couldn't help but feel swayed, thinking of the appearance and figure of the concubine. He was a little smug, especially when he remembered that the several concubines of Master Cao were not as beautiful as the one in his family.

    Ye Xu didn't tell Master Ye that the concubine was a goblin as soon as he came up, but told Master Ye's life first. The abbot, who had not spoken all the time, looked at Master Ye clearly, and had obviously guessed that the concubine was the monster Ye Xu spoke of.

    Hearing Ye Xu tell his story exactly, Master Ye's doubts disappeared for the most part. When he asked about his future wealth fortune, he was full of expectations, and he wanted to hear Ye Xu say that his fortune was prosperous.

    However, Ye Xu shook his head regretfully: "Your wealth luck was originally excellent, but there are monsters in your family that cut off your luck, I'm afraid there will be problems. Not only your wealth luck, but your descendants' luck, peach blossom luck, etc., will be greatly affected."

    "Monster?!" Master Ye was startled, "What, what kind of monster?!"

    The old god Ye Xu is here: "Naturally, it is a mountain goblin. Venerable has a strong demonic aura on his body, and the demonic aura is of little benefit to mortals. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it may endanger their lives."

    Ye Ye's face was ugly: "Can you be sure of a real person? How to get rid of this evil spirit?"

    "It's natural to be sure that as soon as the Venerable entered the temple, the poor Taoist noticed the demonic energy. Otherwise, he would not have sent the boy to greet him. As for the demonic energy, it will naturally dissipate after staying away from the demons. As long as you don't have long-term contact, you don't have to worry about it."

    Master Cao listened for a while, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief: "Dare to ask the real person, could it be that the monster is the new concubine of Brother Ye's family?!"

    Otherwise, why would the real person specifically mention Ye Ye's new concubine, there must be a problem with the concubine's room.

    "This is impossible!" Ye Ye shouted fiercely, "How could Hu'er be a monster?!"

    Ye Xu reached out and patted his forehead: "Meditation."

    Divine power poured out, instantly calming his excitement. Ye Xu sighed silently in his heart that divine power is really useful, but it is a pity that the divine power of time and space is not the main treatment and state control, otherwise, Master Ye's "brain disease" can be cured directly, or the bewitching technique of the fox spirit can be dispelled directly.

    He withdrew his hand, still looking like an expert outside the world.

    But Ye Ye suddenly woke up, only to feel that his mind was clear, and the confusion of the previous days had all dissipated, and he had cleared the clouds and mist to see the sky. However, this feeling only lasted for a while, and soon his eyes became cloudy again.

    It's just that he looks much more normal now than he was fooled by the fox spirit before. The bewitching technique of the fox spirit was still there, and Ye Xu couldn't completely remove it.

    "If you don't believe me, it's better for the poor to follow you and let you see whether she is a human or a demon." Ye Xu got up, grabbed Master Ye's arm, and teleported into the Ye residence in the next second. Mo Bei quickly grabbed Ye's sleeve and was taken with him.

    At the same time, a player sneaked into the kitchen, took a piece of silver and stuffed it to the little helper who was in charge of chopping vegetables next to the chef.

    "Brother Xiaolin, my young lady offended Aunt Hu a while ago, and I was thinking of inviting Aunt Hu to her yard for a light meal in two days, to accompany her. You can easily tell me what Aunt Hu likes to eat and what she doesn't eat. What? Lest our lady be self-defeating and offend my aunt even more." He said in a low voice.

    This reason is not particularly clever, but if you help the cook receive money, you don't care so much. He happily put the silver in his arms, and liked this kind of windfall very much in his heart.

    "Aunt Hu likes to eat meat, especially chicken, she..." The cook said a lot, even down to the fact that Aunt Hu likes to eat salty or bland, heavy or less oil, onions or garlic as ingredients.

    In the end, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Aunt Hu doesn't eat peppercorns, so she specially sent someone to mention it two days ago. The new cook in Shu is still worried, this Sichuan dish doesn't have the taste of peppercorns. Authentic. If you want me to say, my aunt doesn't want to eat authentic Shu dishes, and the most important thing is to suit your appetite."

    The player originally remembered that his head was getting bigger, but after listening to the last paragraph, his eyes lit up, and he felt that his trip was not in vain. Originally, I just came here with the mentality of giving it a try and asked Hu Yiniang about the taboos, but now it seems that I have found it by mistake.

    That's it - peppercorns!

    The player agreed to help the cook, and then left in a hurry, wondering where to go to buy peppercorns. Pepper is not common in Jinling, I am afraid it is not easy to buy.

    The author has something to say:

    Player: I'm so fucking witty!

    Ye Xu & Mo Bei: ? ? ?
