Holding the demon hunting list in his hand, Daoist Baoshou searched all over Jinyang County, but found no trace of demons.
? As an orthodox Taoist master, Taoist Master Baoshou no longer bothered to use bears to make money.
So he left Jinyang County disappointedly with the Monster Hunting List.
Before returning to Fengyuan Mountain, he went around and shopped around. After shopping around, he didn't buy it!
The next day, early in the morning, on Fengyuan Mountain.
? Baoshou Daochang's meritorious deeds are complete, his body is stretched, and his eyes are shining.
After a night of practice, the true energy increased again.
Such a slow progress of practice has made Taoist Master Baoshou more firm in his belief in slaying demons and demons, acting on behalf of the heavens, and supporting justice.
Looking at the rising sun, he put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and fell into thinking.
Little Xiong opened his sleepy eyes, and suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of justice rising from Daoist Baoshou!
It is worthy of being the head teacher of the Righteous Immortal Sect!
The sun rises brightly.
Wang Shan came to Baihong Temple.
But this time, he didn't come here alone, and he also brought a gray-haired sixtieth old man with him.
This is Zheng Yuan, who once glorified his hometown, was demoted back, and wasted sixteen years of his life in a decadent state.
"Master Baoshou is much younger than the old man imagined."
Zheng Yuan was slightly surprised, and said: "Just based on your blueprints, you are not comparable to ordinary craftsmen. In my opinion, if you have the heart, if you are recommended, you may not be able to enter the Ministry of Industry and be cultivated by the court. Your future is limitless."
He originally thought that the person who drew the pile of blueprints must be an experienced Taoist who is proficient in construction. He never expected that he would be so young. To put it bluntly, he is a young Taoist.
Taoist Master Baoshou laughed, and said: "In the officialdom, it's not about proficiency in skills, so you can rise to the top. Xiaodao is for people who practice. They don't want high-ranking officials and dignitaries. They just want to build this place to live, and ask immortals with peace of mind."
Zheng Yuan seemed to be laughing at himself, and said: "Old man, the dwelling place of the Taoist priest is like a fairy palace and a dragon's nest."
Taoist Master Baoshou did not answer when he heard the words, but only asked: "Is Mr. Zheng sure about the construction of my Baihong Temple?"
Hearing the respectful address of "Old Zheng", Zheng Yuan's expression softened a little, but then he said solemnly: "The Baihong Temple that the Taoist priest wants to build is quite different from the ordinary Taoist temple in front of him. In terms of scale, Grand, when it comes to the fine details, it is still above the palm domain mansion in the Guangshan domain."
Taoist Priest Baoshou looked as usual, with a slight smile on his face.
But Wang Shan was at the side, but he was at a loss when he heard it.
Zheng Yuan looked left and right, looked up, and looked at the top of Fengyuan Mountain.
"If the construction of this Taoist temple is built according to your drawings, it will cost a lot of money."
"And on your drawing, it is to be built against the mountain, which is even more difficult."
"It takes a lot of manpower and material resources just to move materials and fetch water up the mountain."
"In this way, the silver taels consumed are a huge sum of money."
"Even if you are the richest man in the Guangshan area, if you want to spend such a sum of money, you will be hurt."
Zheng Yuan looked at Daoist Baoshou and asked: "I heard that Baihong Temple has always been poor, can I really get this money?"
Taoist Master Baoshou put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "In terms of money, you don't have to worry about it. The wages are settled every three days, and you will never be in arrears. If there is insufficient funds, you just stop building!"
The little bear on the tree behind him felt very distressed when he heard this.
The Taoist temple built on the mountain actually has to pay extra?
When it was distressed, it suddenly discovered that Taoist Baoshou's hand behind his back had already been tightly clenched and bloodless.
""
Zheng Yuan saw that he was so confident, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "Master Baoshou, the Taoist temple you want to build is more difficult than the Zhangyu mansion, and the craftsmen you recruited are all masons from ordinary people. , is not at the same level as the artisans belonging to the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, and it is not easy to build such a magnificent Taoist temple as you wish."
After his voice fell, he took another deep breath and said: "The old man can only spend more energy, personally monitor and teach them so that they don't make mistakes, but the construction is very difficult and takes longer."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Baoshou laughed, and said, "Since Mr. Zheng is sure of this, follow me up the mountain and choose a location."
Then the three of them climbed up the mountain and didn't go down until sunset.??.
When he got down to the foot of the mountain, Zheng Yuan had already opened his mouth, saying that he already had a rough idea of ??the direction in his mind, and he only needed to make calculations tonight, and he could start work anytime.
Then I heard him say again: "The Taoist priest is a scholar of Taoism, but he has chosen a good day and auspicious day?"
Taoist Master Baoshou laughed and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. If the poor Taoist counts, the auspicious day of the zodiac will be tomorrow. There is no taboo, and you can start construction."
When these words came out, both Zheng Yuan and Wang Shan were quite astonished.
But as ordinary people, they didn't say much.
Logically speaking, Taoist Master Baoshou, as a taoist Taoist, must have studied this way intensively, and he probably had an idea in his heart.
And just after the two said goodbye and left.
Only then did I see a little black bear jumping down from the tree, hopping over, but looking very depressed.
Once you start work, you have to spend money.
The bounty received from the government is not hot yet.
Thinking of this, Little Bear became more and more depressed.
"I have to make money."
Having said that, Daoist Baoshou took a deep breath, turned his hand and took out his account book The list of monster hunters!
There are 297 monsters in this hunting list.
In the previous hunting list, there were 323 monsters.
Compared with last month, there are only twenty-six monsters missing from the hunting list.
But according to Yang Wenli, there were not only 26 demons killed in Daxia territory last month, but 176.
Because within this month, many monsters sneaked in from the border of Daxia, and crossed the blockade of the Hunting Mansion.
Most of them were killed, and some of them were hidden within the territory of Daxia and disappeared, so they were included in the hunting list.
"I asked you to identify these guys on the hunting list last night, did you recognize them clearly?"
"I see clearly." Little Bear said in a muffled voice.
"The silver taels needed to build the Taoist temple are hundreds of times higher than originally planned." Daoist Baoshou said: "This time we set a small goal, to kill ten demons in the Qi refining state within this month. "
"It's a hundred times higher? Are they treacherous people so mad?" Little Bear exclaimed.
"It's not that they are crazy, but that Pindao chose the extravagant Taoism."
Daoist Baoshou sighed.
It turned out that it was not easy to make money, so I could only rely on Xiaoxiong, ostentatiously bump into an injustice, and out of righteous indignation, punish the evil and promote the good.
What he originally considered was the simplified version of the Taoist temple on the blueprint.
It only needs to use the simplest materials, in the simplest form, and according to the layout of the array, it can be built, and it will cost thousands of taels of silver.
But since he discovered the source of making money from the hunting list, he has upgraded the Taoist temple on the blueprint to the highest level in his cognition.
Not only is the overall scale enlarged, but also the rockery, pavilions, halls, and statues are all arranged in formations, with carved railings and jade bricks, creating a magnificent atmosphere.
But in this way, there is one biggest disadvantage!
Lack of money!
Extremely short of money!
Taoist Master Baoshou is currently extremely short of money!
So he looked at the hunting list with red eyes.
Those are the countless silver taels he has been active outside!
That is also his cultivation base that has been active for thousands of years!
And all kinds of magical powers he lost outside!¡ª¡ª
at the same time.
Luyuan County.
Between mountains and forests.
There was a loud bang!
I saw a huge monster rushing over from the other side of the mountain.
This is a huge tiger, falling to the ground, as if the mountains and forests trembled.
"Meng Shanjun, you have suffered a lot outside, and if you don't go to find your master, why come here to find me?"
A man in black robe walked out of the forest. He looked like a young man with a cold and resolute expression.
The fierce tiger fell on the ground, uttering human words, and said: "Uncle, my master went to Yuanhe and made a deal with the Chixuan Flood Dragon, promising to help it escape from the predicament and besieged by the Demon Hunting Mansion. Now he has not yet When I came back, I had no choice but to find my uncle and avenge my disciple."
The black-robed man looked at its tail, and said coldly: "You have always acted cautiously, and you like to hide in the dark and drive ghosts to tempt you. Why did you have your tail cut off?"
Tiger said in a low voice: "It's hard to say."
It suddenly raised its claws and swept away.
A cloth bag was thrown out.
The man in black robe waved his hand.
The cloth sac shattered, and a thick tiger tail fell out.
"Sword Qi from the God Realm?"
The man in black robe pondered: "You want me to use this as a proof to kill the other party?"A thick tiger tail fell out.
"Sword Qi from the God Realm?"
The black-robed man pondered and said: "You want me to use this as a proof to kill the other party? ?
