Return to Hometown

, I cannot touch his arm.Jiang Qiyun's side profile was as cold as frost, he stood on the boulder, looking down at the fallen corpses one by one.In his eyes, reflected the crimson flames of karmic ret...Shen Qingrui frowned, put down her chopsticks, and stopped eating.

She just wouldn't eat. I watched her go, shaking my head and sighing. That temper of hers was truly spoiled by my aunt Shen, the old lady.

What are families most afraid of

There is no successor.

Therefore, Shen Qingrui, this person who was bestowed upon by the gods and entered reincarnation with orders, naturally became the focus of cultivation for the Shen family.

She was a naturally gifted cultivator among mortals. Under the cultivation of the Shen family, she lived up to expectations and had every reason to be proud.

The Shen family had never followed the strict rule of primogeniture; they selected and cultivated the most capable heir. They were quite lenient towards Shen Qingrui, never trying to restrain her temper.

Fortunately, Shen Qingrui didn't have an unforgivable wickedness in her bones. I also turned a blind eye to it.

She suddenly left, and I didn't speak. My brother didn't seem to care either. It was Master Zong who seemed a little embarrassed. He frowned and asked, “Are all the female disciples of the Shen family this proud”

I pointed at myself: "I'm also half a Shen family member. What do you think of my temperament"

Master Zong nodded and said, "That's to say she is a special case If she descends the mountain again and encounters disciples of the Shen family, I must be more careful."

Xiao Shanming was scraping his rice, and hurriedly added: "There's also, also the Yin family, Yin family second miss, be careful too."

"Master Zong, how did Shen Qingrui fight you... or rather, how did she bully you The atmosphere is a bit strange. Whenever this topic comes up, she gets furious." I couldn't help but be curious and wanted to hear his description from Master Zong.

Shen Qingrui certainly only said what she wanted to say. Perhaps things weren't as "instructive" for Zong Daochang as Shen Qingrui described.

Zong Daochang frowned and shook his head, saying, "How do you say that, Shen Daoyou"

“Of course she only said what benefited her.” My brother scoffed. “We’ve seen Shen Qingrui’s personality a few years ago, domineering and unreasonable, with guts bigger than her head!”

Zong Daochang pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Whatever Shen Daoyou says, we will follow his lead... Since everyone is free now and you have come to pay respects in person, let's just forget about the past."

We can't even think about eating because we're so curious.

"Master Zongdao, why don't you just tell us It would be more believable coming from your mouth...Otherwise, we'll really think something unspeakable happened between you two. It wouldn't sound good if it got out." My brother urged.

“Shen Qingrui was yelling at home then, and it wasn't just us present. There were also the head steward, disciples, and others from the Shen family listening. Could you please clarify things for us That way we can have a clear understanding. If there are any rumors or gossip in the future, we can address them properly.”

Having heard his brother's words, Zong Daochang nodded and said: "Though Mu Dangjia is young, he has considered everything carefully... Well then, it's just a misunderstanding. It's good to clear things up."

Xiao Shanming swallowed hard, he really didn't want to miss a single word of this juicy gossip.

It all started when Master Zong went down the mountain. He used his sect's secret treasure map to track down a small copper Buddha amulet, following it all the way to the deserted village of paper people.

Because the local atmosphere was strange, and it was approaching the seventh lunar month, he decided to wait until after the seventh lunar month when the negative energy was at its peak before going in to search.

Later, he saw a few girls driving by, but he didn't stop them. He was worried something might happen, so he went to the nearby area and bought some live chickens or something like that, just in case.

That deserted village was designed by someone. Because those who died in natural disasters had no remains and could not be honored, the survivors were worried that vengeful spirits would come to find their families. To trap these spirits, they dressed paper figures in the clothes of living people and placed them in dilapidated buildings, pretending that they were still at home. Some families, in order to prevent the paper figures from deteriorating too quickly, covered them with plastic sheeting.

This is also a "ghost village" known to only a few, usually no one comes here. Master Zong didn't expect us to track the missing woman and come looking for him.

To avoid trouble, he made up a story that seemed plausible on the surface. However, we're all in the same industry and don't really believe his words. We went in anyway.

He trailed behind us all the way. If we had just rescued people and left, he would have waited until after July 15th when the Ghost Gate closed to search for the strange old man and the little Buddha again. Unexpectedly, we found them first, leaving him with no choice but to show up and ask for help.

Originally, his worst plan was to take back the Little Buddha. Unexpectedly, we readily agreed, and he, fearing we might change our minds, immediately took his old man north back to the mountains.

Although the old man was bewitched, he was still a living person. He couldn't be abused along the way, and people couldn't notice anything amiss. It took him quite a while to finally reach the north.

When he settled in the provincial capital, he deliberately chose a remote and secluded black inn in the suburbs. Unexpectedly, he ran into Shen Qingrui handling a commission nearby.

He was worried the monster would hurt people, so he locked the old man in a room and went out to deal with it. When he chased the monster to an abandoned old city district, he managed to take it down first.

Shen Qingrui didn't know this man who suddenly appeared. Seeing him clean up the weapon so efficiently, she was furious and attacked him. As a result, Shen Qingrui twisted her ankle and fell into an abandoned well in a demolished house.

Master Zong felt guilty, but he had nothing on hand that could help. Shen Qingrui was cold and in pain in the cellar, and she scolded him so harshly that his scalp went numb.

"Huh" My brother asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't Shen Qingrui call someone Shen family disciples usually go out in groups of two or three. She wouldn't run this far alone, would she"

"To be honest, it was my fault. She chased after the monster alone to deal with it first, and if I hadn't interfered, she and the disciples of the Shen family might have dealt with it together." Now that Zong Daochang thinks about it, he also feels that he went overboard.

He had no choice but to jump down to check on Shen Qingrui's injuries. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingrui had only sprained her ankle. Seeing him come down, she knocked him out in a few moves.

"......You, were you dumped by her" My brother's mouth twitched.

It is common for Taoist disciples to practice Tai Chi and swordsmanship, and it's not surprising that they have some martial arts skills. However, Shen Qingrui is a southern woman after all, while Zong Daochang is a northerner in terms of physique. How could he be defeated

Zong Daochang lowered his head and looked at the patterns on the table, saying in a low voice, "High heels stepping on people, it really hurts...a weapon, a weapon..."

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. It turns out that Master Zong had mentioned several times seeing Shen Qingrui chase the culprit in high heels... it seems he has a psychological shadow from those high heels.

People who practice Taoism all year round, especially those who live in a temple, definitely wear cloth shoes! It's that kind of special Taoist shoe. How could it withstand a high heel stepping on it

Thinking about it hurts.

After Shen Qingrui seized the opportunity, she directly stripped Zong Daozhang's robe and tied his hands behind him. Zong Daozhang was so angry at that moment that he didn't know what to say.

It was at that moment that Little Buddha fell into the dark cellar. Shen Qingrui took out her phone to call someone, but she found her screen was shattered. In a fit of anger, she blamed everything on Master Zong. She snatched Master Zong's old phone and smashed its screen in anger as well.

I silently covered my face, so embarrassed.

Zong Daochang recalled that at the time, seeing Shen Daoyou crouch down and rub her feet, he was no longer angry. After all, they were both Dao friends, and they were all working together to exorcise demons. Seeing that she was a woman, it wasn't a big deal for him to suffer a little loss.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingrui found a small bronze Buddha pendant on the ground while rubbing her feet. She took it directly and, after disciples from the Shen family came to rescue her by throwing down a rope, she scolded them harshly before climbing up the rope herself.

"This Shen Qingrui is really not a good person, she's caused so much trouble for the Shen family over time... She deserves to be taught a lesson." My brother shook his head disapprovingly.

I've given her a good scolding, too! She has to listen to me!

"I'm not capable of teaching her a lesson… She's older than me, what use would I be I can only hope that someone smarter comes along and subdues her." I scoffed.

Zong Daochang smiled faintly, sitting with a slight nod and said: “I think, Shen Daoyou is not a heartless person…”

Uh!

This Taoist priest was scolded, beaten, had his phone smashed, got kicked, and had his little Buddha taken away. His hands were tied up, and he still thinks Shen Qingrui is kind and righteous!cked a stray strand of hair behind my ear."......Look at how much you've sweated." His tone was laced with a hint of reproach as he handed over his waterskin.I took it and gulped down several mouthful...
