Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Qin Dafu and Zhenniang arrived at Cihang Temple at around three quarters past nine.

Today is the first day of the new year and there are not many believers. The entire Cihang Temple is very quiet. Only the sound of children reading aloud can be heard from the Salesian Hall below.

It is said that this is the order of the abbot, that children over the age of five in the Salesian Church can take turns to read and learn to read for one hour every day.

Huiyun received them again.

"The abbot will finish his retreat at noon, so you don't have to come so early."

Qin Dafu said:

"It's okay. If you come earlier, you can also help the temple with some work."

Huiyun smiled and nodded:

"It's just as the abbot expected. If that's the case, then you and Zhenniang should go to the Salesian Hall today to teach the children how to use an abacus. This is also what the abbot ordered."

Qin Dafu naturally agreed.

Huiyun took the father and daughter to the classroom of the Salesian Church to teach the children how to use an abacus.

Zhenniang assisted her father in teaching.

Many of the children were only five or six years old, but they were all eager to learn and listened attentively. No one was making any noise or looking around.

"They are so good."

She couldn't help but praise Taoist Master Huijing who was standing beside her.

She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, her father once held her on his lap and taught her how to use an abacus, but she was always distracted by one thing or another and refused to concentrate on learning.

Taoist Master Huijing explained with a smile:

"They have no parents, so even though they are blessed by the Cihang Temple now, they still have to plan for the future. Using an abacus is a very practical skill. They can become shopkeepers or accountants in the future. Girls can also become housekeepers, which are excellent ways to make a living."

Zhenniang's heart suddenly shook.

Her current situation is indeed miserable, but no matter how miserable it is, can it be compared to those children who lost their parents at a young age?

I heard that many of them, especially the girls, were abandoned by their parents.

But these children did not complain or shed tears. Instead, they tried their best to seize every opportunity to make their future life better.

She was a thousand times luckier than them, but her performance in the past was far worse than those children who were much younger than her.

She couldn't let her parents worry anymore. Even if she couldn't get a divorce, she had to stand on her own feet.

Inexplicably, Zhenniang felt a resolute force in her heart.

She helped her father teach each child step by step with great concentration.

It felt like not long had passed and it was already noon.

After the class, Qin Dafu found that Zhenniang, who walked out of the Mercy Hall, looked very different in spirit and energy, with a more energetic and determined look on her face.

Only then did he understand the abbot's intention in specifically asking them to come to the Salesian Hall for classes.

I couldn't help but admire the master more and more. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that the master could not predict.

Of course, Chen Qingzhu didn't have the ability to predict everything.

It's just that after all, he has been wandering in the world as a wandering soul for eight years, and has lived in the world of cultivation as a top genius for decades. He has seen more things from the lowest to the highest levels than ordinary people, and naturally he has more insights into how to deal with things.

The reason why she knew what happened to the Qin family so quickly was because of Zhang Liu, who was a good informant.

Now he is wholeheartedly loyal to Chen Qingzhu and works very hard.

Chen Qingzhu told him to keep an eye on the followers' movements at home and report any important events in time.

The Qin family's incident had caused such a big stir that it had even been reported by Yan Tongzhi and the nearby constables, so naturally it could not be hidden from Zhang Liu.

The next day at noon, she learned the news from Zhang Liu.

After some thought, she decided to take action.

On the one hand, this is a good opportunity to demonstrate divine power and win over believers.

On the other hand, the Qin family is loyal to her, and she doesn't want too many trivial matters to hinder the development of the Qin family.

When they walked into the reception hall, the Qin father and daughter were already seated waiting. When they saw Chen Qingzhu, they immediately stood up to greet him.

"sit down."

Chen Qingzhu walked to the top and sat down, and said straight to the point:

"I have heard about your family's affairs, and now there is a way to help Zhenniang get a divorce and regain her child."

Seeing the hopeful light suddenly bursting out in the two people's eyes, Chen Qingzhu looked at Qin Zhenniang and asked:

"Do you hate that fellow teacher Qiao?"

Zhen Niang said without hesitation:

"Hate! Such a shameless and vicious person, I wish I could cut him into pieces!"

"Then if he admits his fault and begs for forgiveness, and promises to change his ways, and asks you to give him another chance to atone for his sins for the sake of the child, would you be willing to forgive him?"

This time Zhenniang did not answer immediately, but thought for a long time before slowly shaking her head:

"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. He is so cunning and selfish that he even uses his own flesh and blood as hostages to climb up the ladder. I don't believe he can really change his ways. If he admits his mistakes and begs for mercy, it's probably only because the Qin family can provide him with greater benefits. I will never trust him again, and I will never be soft-hearted towards him again."

"As for Yuan Ge'er, it's better not to have a father like him."

There was a look of satisfaction in Chen Qingzhu's eyes.

A smart man like Qin Dafu shouldn't have such a foolish daughter.

Now, after going through this incident, Qin Zhenniang finally came to her senses and her mind became clear.

"If you want to use the power of this temple master to get rid of your husband, you must obey orders and remember what you said today. Is it possible?"

Chen Qingzhu looked at Zhenniang with a bit of intimidation.

Zhen Niang felt that the temple master's casual glance was like revealing all her thoughts, and she did not dare to hide anything.

She was solemn in her heart and promised very carefully:

"I can do it! I will definitely do it!"

Chen Qingzhu then said:

"Come here, sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and try not to be confrontational."

Zhenniang quickly followed his instructions, sat cross-legged on the cushion at the feet of the abbot, and closed her eyes.

Then she felt the master of the temple put his hand on her head, and a gentle yet powerful force flowed from the top of her head down to her limbs and bones, and to every tiny meridian.

She was like a young seedling that was instantly injected with a lot of nutrients. She clearly felt herself becoming more and more stretched and stronger.

She didn't know how long this process lasted. At first she was a little surprised and subconsciously wanted to resist the strange power. But then she felt more and more comfortable and almost fell asleep.

"All right. Go to the yard and try your hand with the stone lock."

The sound of gold and jade colliding reached his ears.

Zhenniang opened her eyes and was a little confused about the abbot's order, but she still followed the instructions and walked to the courtyard outside the reception hall and picked up the smallest stone lock.

As easy as carrying a basket.

The abbot asked her to take bigger ones, and she took three in turn, each one bigger than the last.

It was not until the last, very large one, that he felt it was very heavy, but he was still able to lift the stone lock and hold it above his head.

"Okay, put it down." Seeing Qin Dafu standing aside with a curious look on his face, Chen Qingzhu said with a smile, "You can try it too."

Qin Dafu saw his daughter pick up the stone locks easily and thought they were hollow.

He was a little confused, but also curious. Since the temple master had spoken, he walked to the middle and picked up the second largest stone lock.

I lifted it up casually, but it didn't move at all.

Qin Dafu subconsciously increased his strength, but still couldn't lift it.

He refused to believe it, so he used both hands and exerted all his strength, his face turning red, before he finally lifted the stone lock to a height of three inches off the ground.

After a few breaths, he put down the stone lock, panting.

Qin Zhenniang was very confused. She walked over and picked up the stone lock that her father had just put down, still with ease.

The father and daughter looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and disbelief.

Suddenly, the strength of Zhenniang, a weak woman, seemed to have increased many times.

Qin Dafu stuttered and asked, "Master, what...what's going on?"

The temple master stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a white Taoist robe that seemed to glow under the sun. He said calmly:

"I have bestowed some divine power on Zhenniang for a period of forty-nine days, which should be enough."

This method also came from the notes of the emperor of the mortal world, and was mainly used to create temporary strong warriors.

Since there is no need to transform the bones and meridians, and with the help of the monks to refine and absorb the spiritual energy, a person's strength can be increased fivefold in a very short period of time.

But the disadvantage is that this kind of strength consumes the true energy stored in the body, and the body will return to its original state when the true energy is used up.

After hearing about the Qin family, Chen Qingzhu felt that this useless method was very suitable for Zhenniang.

The Qin family father and daughter suddenly realized, and they felt that the master of the temple was more mysterious and powerful, like a god.

"Thank you so much, Master!"

They both bowed down.

Chen Qingzhu nodded and said to Hui'an Huiyun who were waiting on the side:

"Huian Huiyun, take Zhenniang down and teach her how to use this power correctly."

Before Zhenniang came, she had already told the two of them everything she was going to teach Zhenniang.

——The reason why she didn’t say it in person, well, of course, was to maintain her majestic image as a messenger of God in front of the believers.

Zhenniang was a little confused, but still followed the two Taoist priests to Xiyuan.

It took her a full hour to master the key points and techniques taught by the two Taoist priests. When she came out, she was completely different.

He walked with a vigorous step, his eyes sparkling, and his face showed eagerness to try.

Qin Dafu didn't go with her. Seeing his daughter like this, he couldn't help but be curious:

"What did the two Taoist priests teach you?"

Zhenniang clenched her fists and smiled mysteriously:

"Dad, just wait and see!"

The carriage galloped all the way back to the Qiao residence.

At this time, Teacher Qiao was pacing back and forth in the yard anxiously.

As soon as he saw Zhenniang and Qin Dafu step into the yard, he immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Madam, has the abbot agreed to treat Master Pei?"

Zhenniang looked around the yard with a serious face and asked:

"Where's Yuan-ge'er?"

It seems like he won’t say anything unless he sees Yuan Ge’er.

Teacher Qiao thought that since Zhenniang had already returned to the Qiao residence, there was no need to threaten Yuange'er anymore, so he had Yuange'er brought to him without any suspicion.

Zhenniang took Yuanger, looked at him, and then gave him to Qin Dafu to hold.

Teacher Qiao couldn't wait to urge:

"You've seen me, Yuan Ge'er, so you should talk about how things went today, right?"

However, he never expected that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhenniang raised her hand and slapped him.

The force was so great that he fell to the ground. His face was burning with pain, his ears were buzzing, and he felt a little dazed.

When he raised his head, he saw Zhenniang looking down at him, scolding him righteously:

"He even ranked last in the provincial examination, and he doesn't study hard all day. He only focuses on these crooked ways to cling to the rich and powerful!"

"As your wife, I will teach you the principles of life and work today!"

Everyone, including Qin Dafu, was stunned by this sudden change.

Qiao Shiyou propped himself up and was about to open his mouth to curse when he felt something foreign in his mouth. He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva with a "wow" sound. There was actually a tooth in it. He immediately got up in a rage and rushed towards Zhenniang to fight back:

"You bitch! How dare you hit me!"

Zhenniang kicked the man to the ground:

"My wife was kind enough to teach you the truth, but you still cursed me. It's obvious that I didn't punish her enough, and you are still confused!"

As he spoke, he walked to the flower bed nearby, pulled out a decorative bamboo, quickly trimmed the branches and leaves, and walked towards Teacher Qiao.

When Qiao Shiyou was kicked in the stomach by her, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. For a moment, he could not get up and could only curl up and scream in pain.

Just as he caught his breath, he saw Zhenniang holding a bamboo stick and walking towards him with a bad look on her face.

A bad feeling welled up in Qiao's heart:

"You...what are you going to do?"

Zhenniang sneered and hit Master Qiao with a stick.

"what--"

Teacher Qiao screamed in pain again.

Just as he opened his mouth to curse, bamboo sticks fell on him as densely as heavy raindrops.

The curse that hadn't even come out of his mouth suddenly turned into a scream.

At this moment, Qiao's mother heard the noise and rushed out. When she saw this scene, her eyes were immediately red with anger:

"Bitch, you are outrageous. How dare you hit my son? I will beat you to death—"

Just as he was about to rush over to hit Zhenniang, someone grabbed his wrist halfway.

Qin Dafu had come to his senses by now. How could he let this old woman touch his daughter in front of him?

Thinking back to his daughter's words, Qin Dafu also spoke righteously:

"Mother-in-law, you are ignorant. A fight between a husband and wife is a private matter. Why are you, as an elder, interfering?"

"As parents, we need to learn to let go of our children. Just sit here and watch! Someone, bring a stool for my mother-in-law so she can sit quietly!"

He particularly emphasized the words "sit quietly".

The strong servant immediately understood what was meant. He brought a chair, tied Qiao's mother to the chair and stuffed her mouth.

A delicate-skinned and tender-hearted scholar like Qiao Shiyou had never suffered any physical pain before. He could no longer bear the intensive beatings of Zhenniang, which were 10 to 20 times.

“Ahhh…Help…Help…Ah…Dad, save me…Mom…Save me…”

He didn't care about his face at all. He rolled on the ground to hide and screamed in pain for help.

His father heard the noise and ran out from the back room. Before he could start to curse, Qin Dafu came up to him with a warm look on his face:

"Oh, my in-laws are here too! It's a good opportunity for us to sit together and see how to teach our son!"

The two strong servants once again tied up and gagged Father Qiao without any mercy.

The servants of the Qiao family were all terrified.

They were just ordinary servants, most of them were housemaids. The only one who was guarding the door was a young and strong guy. Moreover, these people had never experienced any wind and rain. Facing more than a dozen tall and strong servants of the Qin family, how could they dare to stand up at this time.

Teacher Qiao watched all this happen and his psychological defenses collapsed immediately.

Originally he was counting on his parents to stop Zhenniang and save him, but now even his parents were tied up, who else could he count on!

What made him even more desperate was that he had rolled from the middle of the yard to the corner, and there was nowhere to hide.

“Ah…ah…ah…stop…stop hitting me! Please stop hitting me!”

He finally couldn't help but beg for mercy.

However, how could Zhenniang stop just because he begged for mercy? She said she wanted to teach him a lesson, so of course she wanted him to remember it deeply.

The bamboo stick in his hand continued to hit him on the head.

“Ahhh… Help me… Madam… Madam, please spare me… Spare me… I won’t dare to do it again… Ah, stop hitting me…”

For a full half hour, the Qiao family's yard was filled with the sobbing and pleas for mercy of Teacher Qiao and his friends.
