Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 134: Take a bath to pray for a good fortune!
Sitting up from the coffin was a "young man" with a face as white as jade. There was a hint of tiredness between his brows, as if he had not yet woken up.

An old voice that didn't match his appearance came out of his throat.

"Why am I not dead yet..."

He looked a little irritated, and his second sentence was shocking.

However, no one in the empty tomb listened to his complaints, so he could only sit there and feel depressed.

After a moment, he slowly raised his eyes, with a little golden light flowing in his pupils, but his sight did not fall on a certain place in the tomb, as if it was looking through layers of obstacles and falling on a place farther away...

Then, he seemed to have seen something and said to himself:

"How many years have passed this year? Has the cliff top been worn away? Has the mountain been emptied? Has the sea been filled up..."

He talked to himself and asked many questions. No one in the tomb answered, but it was as if the answers to those questions were given to him as soon as they were asked.

There was no confusion between his brows, but a hint of understanding emerged, and then he complained again:
"A bunch of trash."

Until finally, his gaze finally fell on a certain place, a certain person, and he murmured:
"Which little fellow has strayed into this place again..."

As if he didn't want to waste his energy, he waved his hand and lay back down.

"Forget it. I'll leave if I don't get a lottery ticket."

……

……

Lin Mo had just finished teleporting and before he could open his eyes, he heard the sounds of cicadas and birds chirping.

Wow, the environment is pretty good?
He opened his eyes and looked around, and saw lush vegetation, numerous flowers and birds, and a stream flowing slowly in the mountain stream.

Unlike other mountains, which already have a "modern" industrial feel, this mountain gave him a refreshing feeling of returning to nature at first sight, except...

yue~!

He subconsciously bent over and retched, while complaining:

"This damn teleportation array, who the hell invented it? I've been getting used to it for so long but I still feel dizzy!"

He felt like he couldn't adapt to this teleportation array at all and would feel dizzy every time he used it.

If he used the teleportation array too much in one day, he would even have serious physiological reactions and couldn't even eat the spiritual food that Senior Sister Zhuang bought for him.

Therefore, unless he was in a hurry, he would sometimes choose to take the fairy boat.

Although the latter is slower, at least you won’t get dizzy.

The fairy boat was also thoughtfully arranged with a shaking formation, so even if it suddenly encountered a rapid current in the air, it would be as steady and comfortable as sailing slowly on a rippling lake.

Not like this crappy teleportation array!

Lin Mo rubbed his brows and walked down from the teleportation array.

"Snapped!"

A pile of bird shit fell from the sky and hit him accurately between the eyebrows.

!!!

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and saw the bird circling in the sky flew away without looking back...

I didn't dodge it?

Lin Mo was not too angry, but was confused that he, a master of foundation building, could not even dodge the bird droppings.

The key point is that the flying bird looks like the little sparrow that can be seen everywhere in Qingshan Sect, which is called Qiubei'er in the dialect of his hometown.

He wiped it away with clean water and cleaned the bird droppings between his eyebrows, but suddenly found that the dizziness he had just felt was almost gone.

“Can bird droppings have this effect?”

Lin Mo muttered to himself, then started walking towards the woods.

Unlike other teleportation points, this teleportation point seems to be at the foot of Luoxing Peak. Looking up, Lin Mo is very familiar with the surrounding mountains, but the viewing angle is higher than other teleportation points.

There are no man-made mountain paths between the mountains and forests.

Lin Mo could only walk towards the top of the mountain along the mountain path that seemed to be faintly trampled by humans.

The forests of Luoxing Peak are lush with trees and rich in vegetation, as if forming a natural ecological barrier.

Although there are no humans in the forest, there are many small animals.

What about squirrels, rabbits, foxes, elks, porcupines, hedgehogs...

Lin Mo encountered countless of them along the way, and they didn't seem to be afraid of people. Some even walked past him in a swagger, treating him as nothing.

Especially when a few beautiful pheasants walked past him, he almost wanted to kill them and catch a few to take home and make roast chicken.

Although there was no proper mountain trail, the road was not difficult to walk on. It took almost no effort for Lin Mo to climb to the top easily, just like strolling in a park.

Then, a Taoist temple appeared in his sight.

Lin Mo looked up and saw this Taoist temple surrounded by mountains, as if it was embraced by them.

The bluestone steps that suddenly appeared meandered up to the gate of the Taoist temple.

On both sides stood towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves, but unlike the scene on the mountainside where there were birds and animals everywhere, not even a bird could be seen above the treetops.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Lin Mo walked along the bluestone road to the entrance of the Taoist temple and tentatively shouted inside:
"Teacher? I'm here to become your disciple!"

Where there is a house, there must be people. Moreover, there is not a single fallen leaf in front of the Taoist temple, which shows that someone cleans it regularly.

Unfortunately, no one responded to Lin Mo's call.

He thought about it and decided to take a step into the Taoist temple.

Before he even took a step inside, he heard a reminder:
[Ding! Triggering the hidden job mission, do you want to accept it? ]

There is indeed a master-disciple mission!
Lin Mo's eyes lit up, but then a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

The main thing is that I still don’t know what this master’s profession is?
What if he ends up dying like Dan Xiu?
Just as he was struggling, suddenly a soft cat's cry came from the Taoist temple.

"Meow~"

Lin Mo raised his eyes and saw a lion cat with heterochromatic eyes and covered with fluffy white hair squatting on the futon in the Taoist temple.

After seeing him outside the Taoist temple, Lion Cat was not afraid. It even stood up from the mat, moved towards him, and rubbed around his calves.

"Meow~"

The soft and sticky cry came into his ears, and a smile appeared on Lin Mo's face. He stretched out his hand and picked it up from the ground. When he was about to stroke it twice, a system prompt came into his ears: [Ding! The hidden professional task has been accepted, click to view the details. ]

Lin Mo was greatly surprised, and only then did he notice that his two feet had already stepped into the Taoist temple.

Does this count as accepting the mission?
A hint of doubt appeared on his face, but then he calmed down.

Didn’t the star-pointing talisman that Senior Sister Zhuang gave me say that I had a connection with this mountain?

Besides, since I'm here now...

Lin Mo walked into the Taoist temple and clicked on the task details.

The task introduction is very simple, just one sentence:

[Please cleanse yourself, bathe, light candles and incense, and place offerings to pray for a good fortune! ]

The rules are simple and clear, which is to ask for fortune.

No, it's asking for a good fortune.

"Fortunately, I took a shower after coming down from the sword arena..."

Lin Mo thought to himself.

The layout inside the Taoist temple was simpler than he had imagined.

In the center hangs a portrait of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and other than that there is only an incense table and a cushion.

Lin Mo put the delicate lion cat aside, walked to the incense, thought for a moment, took out some spiritual food that Senior Sister Zhuang had bought for him from his arms, and placed it on top.

As for the candles and incense, they were already on the table. He took out a stick of Taoist incense from them, and then with a thought, a cluster of three-colored strange fire popped out from his fingertips, and he lit the half-burned candle and Taoist incense on the candlestick one after another.

Afterwards, he held the Taoist incense tightly and bowed to the portrait of Laojun on the altar, and inserted the Taoist incense into the incense burner.

Fortunately, I went to the Taoist temple with my parents to draw divination when I was young, so the process is still clear...

After doing all this, Lin Mo said secretly in his heart.

During the era of great cultivation, the popularity of Taoist temples far exceeded that of the world before he crossed over.

Any Taoist temple with a bit of fame will have a constant stream of people coming to draw lots and burn incense every day, and they may even need to make an appointment in advance to queue up.

But it works...

That depends on personal opinion.

Lin Mo has burned a lot of incense before exams over the years, but none of his wishes have come true.

Of course, immortals and gods still need to be respected.

Lin Mo picked up the fortune stick tube, knelt on the cushion without hesitation, and said devoutly in his heart:
"I love money, money loves me, money comes from all directions, overwhelming, all the time..."

Halfway through reading it, he realized something was wrong.

"I almost forgot, I'm in the Lingxu Realm, I should be seeking immortality... Never mind, it's the same thing."

He didn't worry too much. After all, during his time in Qingshan Sect, he had clearly realized the importance of "money" to the path of cultivation.

From small things like accommodation and daily practice to big things like magical powers and rankings on the list, everything requires "money".

He finished reciting the "Money Spell" in his mind, and then shook the lottery box twice -

"Bang bang——"

"Snapped!"

A bamboo stick fell out of the stick tube.

Lin Mo thought to himself that he had gone to the Taoist temple with his parents to draw lots before, and he had gotten very good lots before, but the probability was lower. As for the auspicious lots, they came out more often.

At least he has more than a hundred luck points now. Even if he can't draw a good fortune, at least he should get a lucky fortune, right?
Just as he had this thought, a system voice came to his ears:
[Ding! The fortune has been drawn: the worst fortune, the Pig Palace.]

[The fortune: When a candle is lit in the sky, the sparse shadows sway, and it seems to be spread out like willow flowers; the children come to clean up the tiredness, but they know that it is just a vain sigh. ]

Lin Mo: “…”

……

"Oh, a bad luck? This is the first time!"

In the dim tomb, an old chuckle came from the coffin.

The young man, who had just been lying down for a short while, sat up from the coffin again. There was a golden light in his eyes. Lin Mo, who was drawing lots in the Taoist temple at the moment, was completely reflected in his eyes.

"You're quite handsome, boy... Let me see. Eh, is it only yellow level luck?"

There was a hint of doubt on his face, but he was not surprised at the other party's good fortune.

On the contrary, he was surprised at how the other party had such a low luck value and was able to get to where he is today without any obstacles.

His lineage can only be inherited by someone with great luck.

Although Luoxing Peak is completely unobstructed, this mountain itself is a large formation.

If you force your way in, you will trigger the formation's automatic defense mechanism.

Only those who are destined can enter Falling Star Peak.

But it doesn’t mean that you can get a master by entering the mountains. This is just the beginning.

To climb from the foot of the mountain to the top requires at least Xuan-level luck.

To enter a Taoist temple and accept the task of learning from a master, one needs earth-level luck.

As for drawing the most auspicious lot, it requires heavenly luck.

But Lin Mo was only a yellow-level luck, yet he was able to reach the top of the mountain without any obstacles, walk into the Taoist temple, and shake out a destiny sign...

This in itself is a very strange thing.

"It's interesting, but unfortunately, there's only one chance."

He yawned and was about to lie down in the coffin again when suddenly Lin Mo in his eyes began to shake again.

He made two "clangs" and another fortune stick fell out of the stick tube...

With a "pop", the natal sign fell to the ground.

The young man opened his mouth slightly, with a look of surprise:
"It can still shake!?"
