Xiaoqiu has been fascinated by reading recently. Although the library study room is full of ordinary books introducing Taoism and is judged as useless by Mei Chuan'an, he still reads it with relish and gains a lot of knowledge. When he encounters words he doesn't know or places he can't understand, he can ask questions to the most patient teacher.

"Do you know? The nine great Taoist dynasties surround the Holy Talisman Dynasty and have been fighting against demons. It is because of the protection of Taoists that humans can enjoy a peaceful life. I always thought that the Xuanfu army of various vassal states was protecting the border." Xiaoqiu was surprised by this record.

It was afternoon, and the sun shone into the study room, not dazzling. Xiaoqiu sat cross-legged on the ground, Fangfang sat behind the desk. When she heard Xiaoqiu talking, she put down the book in her hand and thought for a while, "It should be said that each person performs his own duties, and the talisman master is also defending the frontier and fighting with demons. Our Yelin Town is too small, and has only contacted Xuanfu Jun and doesn't know much about others."

"Taoist priests should come out and walk around often, just like Li Yuechi, so that ordinary people can know the truth, so that everyone will be alert in advance, and Yelin Town will not be unprepared when facing the demon seed."

"The Taoist priests don't like to show up in public, it seems that this is a rule set a long time ago."

"This rule is not good." Xiao Qiu made a judgment immediately.

The relationship between the Nine Daotong and the Holy Talisman Dynasty is very complicated, and each rule has its own reasons. Fangfang didn't know much, so she smiled with teeth and immediately raised her book to block her mouth.

"Fangfang."

"Um?"

"There's something...do you think it's strange?"

"A mantra?"

"Yes, Lin Du taught it to be crazy and rascal, but I always feel that those five words... seem to have some impact on me."

“What impact?”

"I can't forget these five words. Sometimes I read them in my dreams. Then it's easier for me to recognize words than before, and it's easier to practice boxing."

"After the Taoist root is ignited, everyone learns boxing and reads literacy quickly, but it is useless to not work hard. You work harder than others. I have seen you practice boxing alone in the yard at night, and only you are willing to stay and read more books."

After being praised, Xiaoqiu smiled. He had to work harder than others. He wanted to become a five-element mage like Li Yuechi. The most important thing was that he wanted to find his relatives in Yelin Town and challenge the demon seeds himself.

"But I understand your feelings." Fangfang tilted her head and looked at the front right, as if there was an invisible book there. "I often think of those five words, and occasionally I would read them accidentally. Two times. After reading it, I really felt that there seemed to be a little strange change in front of me, but if I observe carefully, nothing changed."

In order to verify his statement, Fangfang stretched out her right arm, stopped her fingers in front of her, and then whispered: "Wrong or weak."

Since Lin Dujiao, who came from Yangshen Peak, claimed that these five words were meaningless, no one was afraid of it, but no one was willing to listen to it with his own ears. Even if there were no outsiders in the study, Fangfang still dared not raise his voice.

Xiaoqiu widened his eyes and stared at Fangfang's palm without blinking, holding his breath, his hair standing up all over his body, feeling that a miracle was about to happen in front of him. He even felt that the stagnant air in the room flowed for no reason, causing a very slight wind, as if a sign of a rainstorm was coming.

"Brother Xiaoqiu, come out quickly!" Erliang Shen Xiuwei rushed in, the door of the study was not closed, and he jumped in front of Xiaoqiu in one step.

Fangfang's body trembled and suddenly retracted her arm. Xiaoqiu almost leaned back and stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiuwei didn't run a few steps in total, but she was panting and her face turned red. "Dimme, dizziness is coming, and she is standing at the gate. Taoist Zhang is forcing everyone..."

A young man with Taoist roots must be sent directly to the Ying Guesthouse by a Taoist priest, and his family is not allowed to enter Jinghu Village. Even the princes of the vassal states are no exception. However, the prince of Xijie Kingdom, Xin Youtao, has his own way to show his noble status.

The piles of items delivered three days in advance are one of the solutions. Now, he wants to establish his position among the new disciples of the Pangshan Daotong in one fell swoop.

Erliang Chen Xiuwei was delayed for a while, so when he took Xiaoqiu and Fangfang to the front yard, the yard was already full of people, and all the children were looking at the newcomers curiously and awe. What surprised Xiaoqiu was that several children from Yelin Town were standing beneath the steps, lowering their heads and lowering their hands, as if they had made a huge mistake and were admitting their mistakes to the person involved. Only Chen Hao stood far away on the other side of the courtyard, his face flushed.

Chen Xiuwei whispered: "I can't hold my brother."

The reason why Daliang Chen Xiuming and others gave in front of the prince was soon cleared.

"Put everything here." Zhang Lingsheng stood beside Xin Youtao, trying to remain calm, but whenever his eyes turned to Prince Xijie, anyone could see the gratitude and pleasingness in his eyes.

A dozen children carried different boxes and packages, ran out of a room, placed things under the steps, and were adjacent to the teenagers who had admitted their mistakes.

"Do you move them all out?" Zhang Lingsheng asked in a low voice, in order to cater to Xin Youtao's height, he unconsciously shortened half a piece.

Xin Youtao nodded slightly, "Well, you'll move it out. This is the gift I want to give to everyone."

Speaking of the gift, Zhang Lingsheng's gratitude was even more exaggerated, and he said loudly: "Listen, Your Highness, Prince Xijie came from afar and prepared some gifts for everyone. These boxes and packages are just one, each person is allowed to take one, and don't pick it up. Now go and move out all the things in the house."

The children in the yard ran to the room where the luggage was stored, and excitedly moved things out, only a few people stood there without moving.

Zhang Lingsheng had already received his gift. This was why he was grateful to the prince and even forced a few children to admit their mistakes without asking for it. He did not feel too much at all. He even thought that he owed Xin Youtao, so he couldn't help but take out a small porcelain bottle from his arms in public and keenly stroked the pattern of the grass and trees on it, "A bottle of five-section green wood scent paste, Your Highness, this gift is too heavy."

"Since I have entered the Taoist throne and do not ask about my origin, please don't call me 'Your Highness'. Like everyone here, I am just an ordinary person with a Taoist root. As for ointment, it is not a rare thing. Taoist Zhang likes it. I will bring you some more in the future."

Zhang Lingsheng was almost bursting with tears in his eyes. If it weren't for other children present, he would have wanted to kowtow and thank him. For ten years, he had finally received a reward.

"What is that, can make Daoshi Zhang happy?" Chen Hao had already walked to Xiaoqiu and asked in a low voice.

Fangfang answered this question, "Five-section Qingmu scent cream is a very precious medicinal fragrance. It is said that applying a little on people before practicing qigong is of great help to practice."

Zhang Lingsheng had the root of Taoism, and after passing the initial level of opening the seven orifices, he stopped moving forward. As a disciple of Pangshan, this was his greatest shame and heart disease. He was of course grateful to him for being able to get the five-section green wood fragrance ointment.

Zhang Lingsheng felt that he had received too little reward, so he turned to the young man in Yelin Town under the steps and angrily scolded: "I felt something was wrong when I saw you at first sight. It turned out that you were a group of robbers who had done something like robbers taking advantage of others' wealth and property. Tell me, how did you be ungrateful after you took the risk of defeating the snake demon and saving your lives?"

The forest and the place where humans gather are two completely different worlds. The prince's identity is not worth a penny in the previous place, but in the latter place it is a priceless treasure.

The boys under the steps lowered their heads, and none of them dared to say anything. The disappearance of Yelin Town had a huge impact on them. Faced with the rebuke of the adults, they had no intention of resisting.

Xiaoqiu on the other end of the yard was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Xin Youtao was timid and cowardly. As an officer, he abandoned his subordinates and fled. In the end, he took away the only oil lamp that could fight against the magic seeds. Now he turned black and white through Zhang Lingsheng, and he was about to expose the true face of the prince.

Shen Hao held Xiaoqiu's arm tightly. He had beaten Xin Youtao hard in the forest, but at this time he had no courage. "Forget it, we can't fight."

Shen Hao looked depressed and had no fighting spirit. His so-called "uncompetitiveness" had nothing to do with eloquence, but money. Just three days ago, he was the richest child in the museum and had gained the attention of many people. Now compared with Wang Zi Xin Youtao, he is in the sky and in the ground. Seeing his best friend Mu Feihuang running down the steps to apologize, Shen Hao completely gave in.

Xiaoqiu forced himself to hold it back and also reminded himself in his heart that it is not Yelin Village, but it is better to cause less trouble.

The children had moved their luggage to the yard, and Xin Youtao deliberately said in a burnout voice: "One piece for each person, and the rest will be left there for those who later on."

The children snatched up wildly, and many people couldn't wait to open their luggage, which were filled with clothes, gold and silver. Although there were no treasures like Wujie Qingmu scent, it was enough to make poor children from remote areas very satisfied and grateful.

Xin Youtao lowered his eyelids and glanced at the five teenagers in Yelin Town under the steps, "If you are willing to confess your guilt, you deserve my forgiveness. Go and get the gift now."

Daliang Shen Xiuming, Lengzi Mu Feihuang and others felt relieved. Instead of choosing a gift like other children, they took one nearby and held it in their arms, and did not dare to open it immediately.

Xin Youtao's first battle when he first arrived at the museum was almost a complete victory, and he was only one last step away: there were four children from Yelin Town standing in the distance without bowing to him.

This doesn't work.

Xin Youtao looked up and saw that his childish face was full of majesty as he looked down on all living beings.

The effect of gifts is not only to win people's hearts. Starting from Zhang Lingsheng, everyone in the yard knew that they should give back. Even the simplest child put down his luggage and looked at him with the guidance of his friends.

Xiaoqiu, Fangfang, Shen Hao and Erliang Shen Xiuwei became the target of public criticism. It was an invisible and silent arrow, but the lethality did not diminish at all.

Daliang Shen Xiuming kept winking at his younger brother. Shen Xiuwei felt a little panicked. The pressure brought by dozens of gazes was not something a teenager could bear. He took a step, but turned his head to look at Xiaoqiu, and retreated back to his original place.

Chen Hao didn't have many choices. He knew that he was the person that Prince Xin Youtao hated the most. He had to pay several times the price to others before he could get understanding. He was the second young master of the Shen family. He had never done anything to nod and bow since he was a child, so he stood there without moving. He also looked at Xiaoqiu and felt a little calm.

Fangfang stood behind the boys, lowered her head slightly, avoiding the eyes of others, but she did not hesitate at all. This was not the first time she had been tested in full view of the public. At the gate of the Shen family, she had pulled off the veil under the gaze of the whole town and jumped onto Xiaoqiu's red horse.

Xin Youtao made a quick adjustment. The person he wanted to take revenge was Chen Hao, but now he understood that he had to defeat the opponent named Xiaoqiu in order to make today's victory completely complete.

Zhang Lingsheng was very impatient and was about to issue an order as the only adult and manager in the museum, but Xiaoqiu spoke.

Fortunately, Chen Hao held him back before, Xiao Qiu passed the initial impulse. Now he can use more clever means to fight back at his opponent. His voice was cheerful and natural, as if he was talking to an old friend who had been reunited for a long time, "Hey, I'm so dizzy, I really didn't expect to see you here."
