Winner in life

"The award ceremony will be held on June 1st, and the venue will still be at the headquarters of the Taoist Association in Beijing." He Bai, who had just returned to Helian Temple, called Cai Ningzi, "I have already made an agreement with Lingyao. If Hong Zhen wants to go, let him go to Beijing with the disciples of Yuxiachi. I will go over here, and we will gather in Beijing at that time." He couldn't help laughing, "Hong Zhen is the second place, so she can get the Heavenly Master Certificate without taking the test. Oh, Hong Zhen is the youngest Taoist priest to get the Heavenly Master Certificate in recent years! The last Heavenly Master who got the certificate was 21 years old."

It really made Helian Temple proud. As soon as the official list of winners came out, the Taoist temples that were friends called to congratulate him. Hebai has been the head for so many years, but only today did he feel what glory is. He smiled in his dreams when his disciples were promising.

"Okay, if he wants to go, I'll go with him then."

After telling the good news, He Bai changed his tone and said something else: "Master uncle, the things you told me have come to fruition. Hong Zhen's adoptive mother Lu Qiao has no contact with the Zhai family on the surface, and I can't find out whether they have any relationship in private. If we want to investigate in depth, we have to rely on special relationships." He said that they should start with the police. They still have some friendship with the Zhengdong Police Station. Some things cannot be investigated by private individuals, but the police can.

Cainingzi refused: "Don't make such a big fuss and attract attention. I think the Zhai family must be watching us."

"Yes. Lu Qiao is still looking for someone in the newspaper. Someone happened to provide information that Hong Zhen was with us, and I cut it off and didn't let Lu Qiao find us."

"You did a good job. What about Lu Qiao's husband?" Cainingzi felt that Lu Qiao was the breakthrough. Zhai Sutian and his wife were more difficult to investigate than Lu Qiao. What they found were more superficial things, such as when they fell in love, when they got married and had children, but their private lives could not be found.

"She gave birth when she was eighteen, and there is a record in the hospital. As for her husband, there was no record at the time. I sent people to inquire near Lu Qiao's home. I only know that when she quarreled with her parents, she once revealed the man's name. She called him Brother Yuan, but she was not sure whether it was Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan or Brother Yuan."

"Hmm."

"That man has never appeared, and those old neighbors can't provide any clues. What is certain is that Lu Qiao has deep feelings for him. She has not married in these years. It is said that she is waiting for him."

Cainingzi tapped the table, tapping again and again: "I think that person is the breakthrough. Lu Qiao is an ordinary woman. Since she has no relationship with Zhai Sutian and his wife, then he may be related to the Zhai family."

Ruihe didn't know these things. He was immersed in studying the strange fire in his body. Cainingzi said: "Although the master is old, he dare not tell you any experience at random. Sometimes the ideas of you young people are better than the experience of us old guys. Be bolder and don't be rigid in thinking. There is a saying that goes, make bold assumptions and be careful to verify."

Cainingzi is really a good master. After being a disciple for a long time, you will be exposed to more things. Ruihe lives in a Taoist temple and has seen many other Taoists teaching their disciples. Some are careful, some are rough, and some treat their disciples as grandchildren. In Taoism, the master-disciple relationship is not a simple teacher-student relationship. It follows the ancient rituals of monarch-monarch, minister-minister, father-father, and son-son. Although it is not as strict as in ancient times, and all rules must be followed, the master still has absolute authority in front of the disciple.

If Cai Ningzi insists that Ruihe listen to him, all the research plans for the strange fire in his body must be arranged by him, and Ruihe cannot easily say "no".

This is disrespectful and will be despised by people in Taoism.

The more he understands, the more Ruihe feels that he is lucky, and the more grateful he is to Cai Ningzi. Such a generous and generous master is really rare.

He stays in the quiet room, not listening to anything outside the window. Even the Taoist competition award ceremony on June 1st was replaced by his sixth brother Hongzi. Time passed quickly. He had been in Yuxiachi for two months and finally mastered the method of controlling the strange fire in his body.

Because the fire was too strong, it was unrealistic to use it directly. After experiencing four accidents that almost set himself on fire, Ruihe learned the Yinli Fire Talisman from Taoist Cuihua of Gudao Mountain and used this method to draw the power of the strange fire in his body into the talisman.

The fire was blue. Ruihe had not yet refined it and could not communicate with it, so naturally he did not know what kind of fire it was.

The Qingyun Fire Mantra of Helian Temple, the Qingyun Fire that borrowed the power was light green. Cai Ningzi said: "My master also left a portrait painted by his master's master. It was the Qingyun Mountain that had not disappeared yet, and the top of the mountain was covered with a light layer of green. That was the Qingyun Fire."

For the convenience of calling, Ruihe first gave it a name. Ruihe only saw it once in the Poor Sea, and he still remembers it vividly today. He still remembers that the blue color was not dazzling, but with a little white in it, like a clear sky, like the sea surface at a quiet time, and like a blue orchid fire symbol. He felt peaceful at a glance.

If he didn't know it was fire, Ruihe would have thought it was a blue flower.

"Orchid Fire Symbol? Not Blue Fire Symbol?" Cai Ningzi smacked his lips, "Didn't you say it was blue fire?"

Ruihe smiled and said, "Yes, I think it looks like a blue Phalaenopsis."

"It's good to call it that, even if others hear it, it's okay."

So they called it Orchid Fire Symbol, Orchid Fire Symbol, and stopped winking at each other when talking about the strange fire, and stopped being vague. The more vague it was, the more attention it would attract, so it was better to say it out loud.

The lines and structure of the talisman and seal made Rui He waste a lot of effort. He didn't even go to the award ceremony of the Daomen Competition. There was not enough time. His mind was completely attracted by the Orchid Fire Talisman and he didn't want to go out at all. It was already early August when the initial results came out, and it would be the original person’s birthday in two days.

Cai Ningzi couldn't see that he was so tired at such a young age, sitting in a quiet room every day, even more at home than he, an old man who was almost ninety years old.

"It's your birthday soon, give yourself a holiday!" He said to Ruihe, and then brought a box, "These are all yours, your sixth brother brought them for you, and the Taoist Association gave them to you Take a quick look at the prizes from the Dao Sect Competition."

"This is the prize for the Taoist competition." Ruihe caught the box. The box seemed to be more than one meter long and wide, and it was not light to hold. Cainingzi carried it over gently and deftly. Ruihe said in surprise after taking it, "It's pretty heavy."

"The two magic weapons of the second place are inside." Cai Ningzi said, "See if you like them."

In the Dao Sect Competition, only the prizes for the top three prizes include magic weapons. The first prize has three prizes, the second prize has two prizes, and the third prize has the same prize. Rui He's purpose in participating was also to get the top three magic weapons. After all, the magic weapons were really too expensive! He has no source of income for the time being. Most of the talismans he sells are sold to Zhou Xiong, and a small part of the business is helped by Zhou Xiong. After all, he is not well-known. Except for Zhou Xiong's acquaintances and friends who are willing to support him, it is difficult to sell the talismans. Therefore, his savings are limited and he cannot buy magic weapons by himself.

As long as you get in the top three, you can save a lot of money! Even if you don't like it and don't need it, you can still get a few million from selling it and then buy another magic weapon that you like.

And the prizes are not just magical weapons. In addition to the unique magical weapons for the top three, there are also some good elixirs, talismans, and a bonus.

Rui He opened the box curiously and saw a huge washbasin.

"It looks like a washbasin, right?" Cai Ningzi smiled, "I was shocked when I saw it. Why would I give you a washbasin? Here are the instructions for use and the appraisal certificate. You will know how to use it after reading it. "

Rui He looked like he was waiting for Rui He to see it. Seeing Cai Ningzi's expression, Rui He became even more curious. When he opened the manual and looked at it, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Master, this is for you." Ruihe took out the basin and stuffed it into Cainingzi's arms. Cainingzi smiled while holding the basin and narrowed her eyes. "Oh, don't be embarrassed. In two days God, you are already eighteen years old! What use do I have as an old man?"

"Anyway, give it to Master, I don't need it." Ruihe turned around and continued to look at the contents of the box. The first magical weapon was called "Peach Blossom Pond". He placed it on the roof on a full moon night before the sun rose the next day. Look at the dew accumulated in the basin, and at the same time start to calculate the marriage divination. There will be clues on the water surface about your peach blossoms that will float in the near future. Note: It is impossible to determine whether it is the peach blossom of Zhenggong.

What kind of magic weapon is this? It was completely different from what Ruihe had imagined, and it was so impractical. He gave the Peach Blossom Pond to Cai Ningzi without hesitation and looked down at the next magic weapon in the box.

The second magical instrument is a very finely made compass. Compasses are common and almost every monk has one. It is a good tool for orientation when doing Feng Shui.

"This compass is a three-element three-in-one compass. It looks pretty good. You can take it and use it. The original one can be replaced."

"I thought there would be a mahogany sword or a seal or something like that." Rui He felt a little regretful. No matter how good the compass is, he doesn't like it very much.

Cai Ningzi laughed: "Look at the appraisal certificate of this compass."

Ruihe opened it and took a look: "Taoist Priest Chongjun? Is this the compass Taoist Priest Chongjun used before?"

"That's right. This compass can be regarded as an antique. Its collection value is higher than its actual value. The master doesn't have many good things at hand. You can use this compass to support your appearance." He said many things I had no disciples in the year, and what I had on hand had been distributed to Hongzhu and a few other disciples a few years ago. I never thought that when I turned 90, I would take in a closed disciple, and as a result, I couldn't get anything good at all. Alas.

Taoist Master Chongjun was a well-known Feng Shui master more than a hundred years ago. It is said that he left a book, which recorded the location of the dragon veins of China. A hundred years ago, his disciples relied on that book to find the location. Dragon Veins helped the current ruling party, one of the three forces competing for the first leadership of China at that time, successfully defeat the other two major forces and successfully establish the country. At that time, the Celestial Master also gained fame and fortune after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He claimed to be a disciple of Chongjun, and revealed the existence of dragon veins, which shocked the Taoists. Chongjun's name was also known to everyone decades after his death, and he became famous all over the world. .

"It turned out to be the compass he used." Ruihe read the appraisal certificate carefully. The appraisal agency came from the Jianbaozhai affiliated to the Taoist Association, which is currently the most professional Taoist treasure appraisal agency in the country. This makes sense, otherwise the magical weapon reward for the second place in the Dao Sect Competition is really thin.

"Master, if I sell it, how much will it cost?"
