Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Chapter 45: Full of Admiration, Caught in the Act

Chen Qingzhu did not interrupt his practice for such a trivial matter.

The time required to break through the second level of Qi Refining is three times that of the first level. After nearly forty days of practice, she is not far from the second level of Qi Refining.

When she breaks through, her spiritual energy reserves will directly triple, and her strength and speed will also double.

At that time, not only will the strength of the fighter be increased, but when treating patients, more injuries can be cured at one time.

In this way, her image as a divine messenger who can cure all kinds of diseases and injuries will be more solid.

Compared with cultivation, a dog like Madam Liu who was around Zhang was not worth wasting her time at all.

After giving Hui'an the order, she immediately focused her mind and continued to practice, finishing before lunch.

Hui'an came to report to her and told her in detail what had happened at the gate of the Taoist temple.

The name Huiming appeared in Chen Qingzhu's ears again, which made her interested.

He told Hui'an to ask Huijing to take the reward money to the dining hall, and she followed him to the dining hall.

At this time, the Cihang Temple closed its gates and everyone was eating in the dining hall.

Seeing the temple master coming, all the female Taoists stood up and saluted.

"Guanzhu!"

"Guanzhu!"

Chen Qingzhu raised his hand to stop everyone from bowing:

"Okay, everyone just sit down and eat."

And said:

"I heard from Hui'an about everyone's performance just now!"

"Although there are only six of us, the other party is under the name of the Marquis' Mansion, and everyone has not let down the prestige of our Cihang Temple. We deserve a reward!"

"Today we will still pay out the rewards according to the old rules. The executioner will be given an extra 200 coins."

Strike while the iron is hot.

In Chen Qingzhu's opinion, the Kun Dao people were not afraid of the power of Jingnan Marquis Mansion and rushed forward to beat up the servants of Jingnan Marquis Mansion. They needed to be praised in time.

In this way, they will be impressed and have greater motivation to charge forward without hesitation next time.

This is the same reason why generals who are good at leading troops will reward their soldiers immediately after a victory.

With three devout pilgrims offering offerings, and the looting of Ci'an's small treasury, she was not short of money at all. Giving each person a little more than one tael would not exceed forty taels in total, which was not a big deal at all.

Everyone cheered immediately:

"The patron is wise!"

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled and nodded, then gestured to Huijing beside him.

Huijing immediately distributed the reward money to everyone.

So, according to the old rule of one tael for participating in the battle and five taels for each head, the people who had just gone out each received a reward of 1,120 wen, and they were all very happy.

Although not as many as last time, it is far less dangerous this time.

It's just a one-sided beating.

This money is really easy to earn.

The name of Jingnan Marquis Mansion is too valuable.

If they come again next time, they must beat them even harder to be worthy of the reward from the temple master!

After handing out the rewards, Chen Qingzhu glanced at the many Kun Daoists:

“Who is Huiming?”

Although she took over Cihang Temple, she was busy with cultivation and did not know all the Kun Dao.

"Master, I am Huiming!"

A Taoist girl wearing a Taoist robe and with a childish face stood up.

She was only half a head shorter than Chen Qingzhu, with wheat-colored skin and hair that was barely long enough to tie into a small bun. She had a square face, small eyes, and a very ordinary appearance.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Qingzhu was sparkling.

Chen Qingzhu walked up to her.

"How old are you this year and what is your origin?"

Being questioned by the abbot alone, Huiming became a little agitated and told his entire life story in a flash:

"Master, I am fifteen years old this year. When I was eight years old, my family owed taxes, so I borrowed one ounce of silver from a rich man to pay the taxes. Later, when the interest was compounded and I could not pay it back, he sold me and my sister to a trafficker to pay off the debt."

As she spoke, she scratched her head:

"But I was not good-looking and was young at the time, so I didn't make much money. Then I was bought by the nun Ci'an to do hard labor."

Chen Qingzhu had heard Hui'an talk about a girl named Huiming before.

She always performs best in her daily training. During rest time, she would practice extra hard the fighting techniques taught by Hui'an. Perhaps she has some talent for martial arts, because she was able to catch a thug on her own last time.

This child obviously had a miserable life, but when she said this, there was no self-pity in her tone.

Even if no one is nice to her, she will grow up as tenaciously as a weed. Once she gets any nutrients, she will struggle to emerge and get more sunshine and rain for herself.

This reminded Chen Qingzhu of his past self.

His eyes softened a little.

"Does the wound on your face still hurt?"

Huiming shook her head. She was very happy to receive the care from her admirer. She smiled so hard that dimples appeared on her cheeks.

"Master, it doesn't hurt. This is nothing. Huiyuan and the others beat me much harder than this before."

Chen Qingzhu sighed inwardly, then reached out his hand and touched her still childish face, circulating his spiritual energy. In just a moment, the redness, swelling and fingerprints on her face disappeared.

Huiming was stunned.

She clearly felt the burning pain on her face, but it disappeared after the master of the temple put his hand on her.

The master of the temple used his divine power for her!

"Master, this is such a waste! I...I don't need it!"

How could someone like her be worthy of the master of the temple wasting his divine power on her?

Chen Qingzhu smiled and said:

"You dared to beat the wet nurse of Marquis Jingnan's wife into a pig's head. You are very brave! This is a reward for you."

When Huiming heard the word "commendation", he puffed out his chest with pride:

"As long as the master is here, I'm not afraid of anyone!"

The way she completely trusted him touched Chen Qingzhu's heart, which was as hard as ice.

He patted her shoulder and said to everyone:

"Hui Ming said it well! With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone! We in Cihang Temple don't cause trouble, but we are never afraid of trouble!"

"From now on, no matter who offends us, we will just fight back fiercely!"

These words made the Kun Dao's eyes warm.

In the past, they only had a vague feeling about this, but Cihang Temple is very different now, and their status has also risen.

But now, the temple master has personally guaranteed that if anyone bullies them, they will just fight back fiercely.

The sense of security of having someone to support them makes them want to cry as they have been adrift and helpless for half their lives.

Being able to follow the master is truly their greatest luck in several lifetimes.

Chen Qingzhu invisibly strengthened the loyalty of his subordinates once again.

*

The words of fighting back were still fresh in their minds when that night, another group of foolish guys fell into their hands.

Not surprisingly, it was someone from Jingnan Marquis' Mansion again.

The people in Jingnan Marquis' Mansion suffered a great loss at their hands. Whether it was Chen Qingzhu or Huiyun Hui'an, they would be wary of their revenge.

Without Chen Qingzhu's instructions, Huiyun sent someone to report to Captain Li in the afternoon.

Chen Qingzhu is now Li Qianhu's God of Wealth.

Captain Li did not dare to delay at all, and immediately asked Zhang Liu to bring twenty good men to set up camp outside Cihang Temple to provide escort.

Hui'an also arranged people to strengthen patrols inside Cihang Temple.

After all, He Wang had to buy firewood, kerosene and other things, so he arrived a little later than Captain Li's men.

So, when He Wang secretly brought his men to the Cihang Temple in the middle of the night, he got off the carriage and told everyone:

"Hurry up, pour kerosene on the firewood and throw it into their Taoist temple. Today I will burn all those bitches in Cihang Temple into charcoal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was caught red-handed by Zhang Liu and his men.

Twenty military experts against ten servants is simply a match made in heaven.

He Wang and others were quickly subdued.

Zhang Liu spat at He Wang and kicked him hard in the stomach:

"How dare you burn down Cihang Temple! I will beat you to death, you little bastard!"

At this time, Hui An came out with the people from the Discipline Hall and asked:

"what happened?"

Zhang Liu was filled with indignation, and said with a desire to take credit:

"These people actually wanted to set fire to Cihang Temple, and I caught them red-handed!"

"Please ask the Taoist master how to deal with them. Just give the order and I, Zhang Liuding, will do a great job for the master!"

Now that he had come to Cihang Temple many times to withdraw money, Zhang Liu was as polite as he could be to Hui'an and other people like him who were in charge of the temple.

Of course, the main purpose of his words was to inform the temple master and let her know his contribution.
