Longevity: I, Cao, Can See The Prompt
Chapter 91 Mortal Body
Chapter 91 Mortal Body
The courtyard where Qingyun Temple resides in the city is not big, it is a small courtyard with three or two houses built in it.
"Senior, there is usually a half-deaf old man living here, doing some cleaning work, so as not to lose popularity, the house is too dilapidated, if you two hate it, I will take him away."
While speaking, the middle-aged Taoist priest led Cao Wei to the gate of the small courtyard.
"Old Li, open the door quickly."
He knocked a few times and yelled three or four times before an old man with gray temples opened the door.
"Open the door faster next time." The middle-aged Taoist said.
The old man turned his body subconsciously, walked closer, and listened with his left ear.
"Eh, I heard that."
This response was much louder than ordinary people's normal speech.
"Senior, do you think I'm taking this old man away now, or?" asked the middle-aged Taoist priest.
"No need, we're just staying for a few days. You can send some nimble servants over later to clean up the two children. It's annoying to see them covered in lice," Cao Wei said, shaking his head.
None of the beggars living on the streets were clean.
The clothes are ragged, the face is disheveled, the hair is clumped, there are lice crawling everywhere, the whole body is gray, under the empty clothes, the ribs are clearly visible, and the stomach is not so shriveled , is hungry to edema.
Just like this four or five-year-old girl, except for a layer of skin, there are only bones left, and there is not much flesh on her body.
When he was a beggar, he looked almost like this ghost. He was hungry for nine meals in three days, and his eyeballs turned green when he saw the food.
When the middle-aged Taoist heard this, he turned around and walked quickly towards the distance, quickly making arrangements for these matters.
In the city, there is a secular branch of the Li family, who is also a nobleman of the family, with hundreds or thousands of servants.
With his status as Qingyunguan, it is naturally easy to borrow a few servants.
Seeing this person leave, Cao Wei said to the old man in a concentrated voice: "You can go on your own and leave us alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped over the threshold and walked in.
The old man nodded, picked up the broom from behind the door, and followed behind to sweep the floor.
Kui Ao walked up to the siblings, mooed a few times, and motioned for them to go in together.
The boy hesitated a little, but finally made up his mind and followed Qingniu into the small courtyard.
...
...
Half an hour later, there were two steaming large wooden barrels in the yard.
The boy and the little girl were soaking in one of the wooden barrels, and beside them were a few strong and healthy women, who were holding soap powder and rubbing the two of them constantly.
Seeing that the washing was almost done, these women put the two brothers and sisters into the wooden bucket next to them, and combed out the lice hidden in their hair with bamboo combs.
Kui Ao looked around with great interest, while Cao Wei had already taken out a recliner, lay on it with a book and began to read.
"Senior, do you have any other orders?" The middle-aged Taoist asked softly.
"These servants have stayed here to serve these few days. When you go back to the Qingyun Temple, when the master of the temple comes back, you will come and report immediately. There is nothing else to do with you." Cao Wei said without raising his eyelids.
The middle-aged cultivator responded repeatedly, and he ordered a few words to a middle-aged butler standing in front of the door, and then left.
Not long after, the two brothers and sisters changed into clean cloth clothes, and the healthy women retreated under the arrangement of the housekeeper, and waited in the newly purchased small yard next to them. Even the half-deaf old man was taken away. past.
After all, it is too small to accommodate so many people.
The butler has met the cultivator and knows how to serve them. He is worried that these servants are ignorant, and it will be bad if they collide.
Kui Ao carried the cleaned little girl on his back, and began to play on his own.
The boy watched worriedly from the side, for fear that Little Sister would fall off the bull's back.
"Come here, do you have a name?" Cao Wei put down the book in his hand and said.
"Returning to the master, the younger one's surname is Cao. As for the previous name, I forgot, but now it is called Shishi."
Hearing the words, the young man hurried over to answer.
"Brother Wei, both of you have the surname Cao. Maybe you were still in the same family five hundred years ago? This journey has suffocated me." Kui Ao walked over and said with a smile.
It shook a few times, the two horns on the head disappeared, and a single horn appeared on the forehead, showing the main body.
"Monster...youkai." The young man's face changed drastically, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Da Niu, can you speak?"
The little girl didn't have any idea about monsters, she was riding on the neck of a cow.
"What kind of monster is it? It's called Brother Niu."
Kui Ao raised the bull's hoof and pressed it against the boy's cheek.
"This is an immortal, you have to be respectful, understand? I don't know what kind of smoke is coming from your ancestral grave, which can be seen by the two immortals." The butler came over and scolded.
The words of the housekeeper who came from a wealthy family were indeed much more useful.
As soon as the boy heard this, he immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times to Kui Ao and Cao Wei each.
"Brother Wei, this girl has Spiritual Roots, but it doesn't look very good, either fake Spiritual Roots or miscellaneous Spiritual Roots."
When Kui Ao was playing around with him just now, he took the opportunity to investigate with his demon power.
When Cao Wei heard this, he stood up and placed his hand on the boy's head.
After a while, he shook his head and said, "A mortal body has no qualifications for Spiritual Roots."
In fact, when the two brothers and sisters came over on the street, he had already checked through the prompts, so he naturally knew the qualifications of the two.
If the other party really could be in the third Spiritual Roots or better, he would have already developed a love for talent. Just a child with pseudo-Spiritual Roots really has no value in nurturing.
Hearing this, the young man was a little disappointed, but he still begged, "Can the fairy family take me in, Little Sister?"
"Ask that cow, I don't care." Cao Wei sat down again.
On the other hand, the butler at the side looked at the girl as if she was looking at a treasure, thinking that if the two sect's fairy family didn't want it, then he would keep her and betroth her to his own son when he grew up.
If one or two cultivators can be produced among the grandchildren, the whole family will turn around.
After all, although being a butler in the Li family is awe-inspiring, it is still a servant after all. How can it be so happy to be the master of the house.
Furthermore, the Li family is not like other aristocratic families. In some families in Yanshan County, the senior housekeepers speak more effectively than Miss Young Master in the mansion.
Some unfavored family children even want to call these housekeepers grandparents.
"Brother Wei and I have to go to other places, so it's not easy to take you with us. But in a few days, I will ask someone to send you to Sect." Kui Ao said.
It can only make such an arrangement right now. Although it can't save all the beggars, it can be considered a fate if it can save one or two.
