Chapter 256: The Meaning of Feeding Back, General Hou
Jingxia Street, Paper-Zha Shop.
Ever since the Wu family transferred the shop to Xu Qing, this paper-zha shop has become the after-sales service location for the Xu family shop.
In the days when Xu Qing was away, almost all funeral businesses were headed by Gu Zixu, with a group of people including incense candle shops and burial clothing shops.
Sometimes when business was booming, two or three funerals were squeezed together, and even the shopkeepers of the carpenter shop at the end of the street and the grocery store in the east of the street had to instruct their apprentices or idle people in their families to help.
The reason is nothing else. The coffins in the coffin shop are big customers for carpenters. In addition, the paste, glue, paper patterns, and colored paints needed by the paper-zha shop are all purchased from the grocery store. The shopkeeper of the grocery store has to have a good relationship!
Not to mention business or not, in the future, among neighbors, if someone stares and stretches their legs and is gone, don't they still have to ask people to arrange the funeral?
Now several shops on the funeral street are headed by the Xu family shop. Everyone understands in their hearts, so they are happy to help.
When Xu Qing returned, the Fengshui Hall where Gu Zixu was located arranged all business in an orderly manner and made account books, in which income and expenditure were clear, and the names of both the living and the dead were recorded in the book.
Xu Qing inspected the work of all halls, and while feeling relieved, he did not forget to draw cakes for everyone to eat.
"Old Gu, you must not be proud. Your daughter Qiao'er is still young, and there will be many places to use incense in the future. Your age is the time to fight, and you must continue to make progress. You know, thinking more about the younger generation is thinking about yourself."
Old Gu Zixu patted his chest to guarantee, feeling full of energy!
The old mouse is smart. He knows clearly in his heart that other people's cakes can only be looked at but not eaten, but the cakes drawn by the Sect Leader are real and can be eaten.
After turning around the Fengshui Hall, Xu Qing specially pointed out a few words to Huang Xiaoliu of the Chuan Hall and gave a lot of pills and snacks.
This little guy was abducted by him from Huang Laoxu. He is steady and hardworking, his brain is flexible, and his legs are diligent. When Huang Laoxu rides a crane to the west one day, all the yellow-skinned children of Huangtiao Mountain will be the eyes and legs of his Cat Immortal Hall. By then, not to mention Linjiang County, even if something happens anywhere in Jinmen, it will not be hidden from his eyes.
After dealing with the hall affairs, Xu Qing turned to look at the current situation of the Baosheng Temple through the Blood Lake Dharma Boundary.
In the Baosheng Temple, a white snake as thick as a child's arm is nodding and bowing to the Baosheng Niangniang statue.
When this little white snake followed Liu Wenpo, it lived a poor life and didn't know what a good life was like. Now it follows Xu Qing and chose the Jin family to go out. The incense salary received every time is enough to buy its previous life.
Xu Qing uses incense to draw cakes, and the little white snake listens until its whole body is full of chicken blood, wishing it could split itself into two and exhaust its youth in the Baosheng Temple.
Immortals are the same as people. If they have hope, they have endless energy!
Except for Xiuniang and the Zhaisang Horse.
These two don't need Xu Qing to draw cakes. The former is unwilling to repay Xu Qing by being a cow or a horse in the next life, so she lingers in the world, hoping for stars and moons in the villa all day long, wishing that one day the master could come over and personally assess her performance.
As for the latter, it's already a horse, what else can it do?
After solving the city affairs, Xu Qing went to Luan Shi Mountain again. Xuanyu insisted on following, saying that as the General Hall Master of the Cat Immortal Hall, it is reasonable for her to inspect her hall.
Xu Qing didn't expose her little thoughts and simply took her along.
The Ya Tang Gua Ye went out on official business and has not returned yet. The matter of managing the crows on Luan Shi Mountain fell on Xu Qing.
Fortunately, crows are birds of wisdom and can spit human words. Plus the various spiritual pills and medicines that Xu Qing occasionally feeds, most of these crows have now passed through spiritual nature, and there are not a few who can answer fluently with people.
These are the fresh troops of the Ya Tang. Xu Qing had already pointed out a clear path for the crows of the Ya Tang early on. Whoever wants to make progress and wants to learn human words and step into the door of cultivation, go to the private school.
Crows are not big, come and go freely, landing at the door, window, and roof of the private school, they can learn knowledge without paying tuition.
Two years later, the average cultural level of the Ya Tang has already crushed other halls.
Individual crows can even use claws and beaks to write and draw on the ground. It is a pity that Gua Ye is not here and cannot see the prosperous scene of the Ya Tang.
Xu Qing set up a blackboard, took the Holy Word Ruler and gave lectures on Luan Shi Mountain for several days. During this period, Xuanyu looked for excuses to return to the Wugong Shop to look after the shop, but was ruthlessly rejected by him.
When you came, you spoke righteously, and now you want to leave when you hear you have to attend class? Too late!
Xu Qing lectured from "One Hundred Rules for Demons and Humans to Get Along" to "Weaknesses of Demon Nature," and from qi cultivation to matters that demons need to pay attention to when avoiding disasters.
When talking about the harm of the three disasters, Xu Qing asked Xuanyu, the hall master who had just passed the thunder disaster, to explain the law in person, personally explaining the terror of the thunder disaster and the importance of merit incense.
In short, as long as the little immortals of the Ya Tang practice hard and work hard for the hall, accumulating incense, then they don't need to be afraid even if they encounter disasters in the future. This is the confidence given by the first hall of Jinmen.
Crows have the meaning of feeding back, and horses have no heart to deceive their mothers.
Before Xu Qing left, a group of crows brought four kinds of fruits, such as hazelnuts, pine nuts, torreya nuts, and walnuts, to feed him.
Xu Qing is very happy, the squirrels on Luan Shi Mountain scolded very badly.
"Where is Immortal Xu going next?"
"Go to Guanmen Village to see Dazhuang and Erzhuang."
Luan Shi Mountain is not far from Guanmen Village. Xu Qing rode the Zhaisang Horse and was not in a hurry. He looked at the flowers on horseback along the way. When passing a village, he saw a new shrine built at the entrance of the village.
The shrine was not dedicated to anything else, but to the Baosheng Niangniang of the Baosheng Temple.
"Immortal Xu is becoming more and more famous."
"..."
When arriving at the second village, Xu Qing saw the Cat Immortal shrine placed in the village, and he finally smiled.
"It seems that Immortal Xuanyu's fame is not small. Look at this clay cat, it is also painted with ink, like a little dirty cat."
"..."
Xuanyu stared at the clay cat with sloppy styling and several times suppressed the urge to sacrifice the sword pill.
This cat statue is too ugly!
Why can Immortal Xu's statue wear colorful clothes, and there are cute tiger-head shoes and small embroidered shoes placed in the shrine, but hers is so perfunctory?
The cat is uneasy in her heart.
When arriving at Huangping Township, Xu Qing found a newly built General Hou Temple in front of the nunnery that was originally demolished.
"General Hou Temple? Whose hall is this?"
Xu Qing was puzzled in his heart. He walked in and saw a monkey statue enshrined in the temple roughly built with thatch and wooden sheds.
There is also a tablet on it, crookedly written like earthworms crawling: The position of General Hou of Monkey Mountain.
Xuanyu followed Xu Qing into the temple and looked around, but couldn't see half a stick of incense or half a share of offerings.
This immortal hall is too shabby.
"Poor immortal, there is not even a little incense. How did it do it?" Xuanyu couldn't figure it out.
Xu Qing nodded with deep sympathy: "Since we are both immortals, let's burn a stick of incense for it." ===== CHAPTER 257 =====
