Chapter 13, the legal affairs are not simple
Xu Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Does to hundreds of quotations, disciples are not short of this little money!"
Just kidding, the entire Ping'an County is dead, and he can only earn dozens of taels. If he has this time, he might as well practice more magic power!
But Hongyuan said: "My Qingniu Temple is not as big as a big sect. They can let the disciples concentrate on their practice, but we have to support ourselves. The rituals are the pillars of survival for our Qingniu Temple. You are born in a wealthy family, so you are naturally not short of this little money. But in the future, the disciples of Qingniu Temple may not have the same wealth as you. What should they do if they take over Qingniu Temple?
In addition, doing rituals can also enhance the relationship between Qingniu Temple and the families of the gentry in the county. When they encounter monsters and monsters, they will be the first to look for us Qingniu Temple. These gentry are the foundation for our Qingniu Temple's survival. If we break these relationships, our Qingniu Temple will really become a casual cultivator. The most important point is that doing rituals is a way for us to safely observe the habits of ghosts. We can accumulate experience for you to catch ghosts and eliminate demons in the future, and develop connections among the city gods. Maybe there is a city god organization after death, which can be transferred to the divine way, otherwise you think that as a teacher, you only value the income of these 10 taels of silver!"
Xu Hao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that a small ritual could involve so many things, but it was very reasonable. So Xu Hao had to change into a Taoist robe and follow Hongyuan down the mountain, while Qingniu was left to go up the mountain to guard the house!
The two walked dozens of miles before they arrived at the county town!
If it weren't for the practice of Qingniu visualization during this period that strengthened Xu Hao's physique, he wouldn't have been able to walk such a long way!
Xu Hao said: "We should buy two Fuma horses for transportation in Taoist temples, otherwise it would be too time-consuming!"
He is not short of this money!
Hongyuan didn't say anything either. Their Qingniu Temple didn't have a horse to carry on because they couldn't afford it, but he couldn't say it!
The two walked to the gate of Mr. Wang's courtyard, which was the three-in-one courtyard that Xu Hao wanted. However, they were all decorated with funerals, and there were even more crying inside!
The concierge met Hongyuan and immediately invited Hongyuan into the house and found his master!
Then a middle-aged man came out and said, "Master Hongyuan, you are finally here. I'll ask you for your father's funeral!"
Hongyuan whisked and said, "I will definitely let Mr. Wang go safely and do some things on the underworld. I just don't know if Mr. Wang has anything to say to Mr. Wang, whether to meet him!"
Xu Hao was stunned when he heard this. Why is the teacher like a charlatan?
Hongyuan knew that Xu Hao didn't understand and whispered: "Although Mr. Wang died of illness, his soul still enjoyed the incense in the ancestral hall. We do rituals to communicate yin and yang and let Mr. Wang explain his funeral well. Rich people especially value this because their family has a great career and has not explained it clearly, so their property will be cheaper for others!"
"And after the first seventh period, the City God will send his troops to take away the dead souls. We also need to help Mr. Wang manage the City God's subordinates so that Mr. Wang will not suffer on the way!"
Xu Hao suddenly realized that no wonder his master could charge ten taels of rituals for a ritual. There is really a reason why this is expensive. If you don’t have the ability to communicate yin and yang, you can do this ritual!
The middle-aged man struggled for a long time and said, "The old man was sick and drowsy, maybe he didn't explain clearly somewhere."
Then he saluted and said, "Then please, Master, let me meet my father!"
The three of them came to the Wang family's ancestral hall, with three rows of tablets on it. It seemed that the Wang family had made their fortunes for several generations, and at this time, Mr. Wang's body was lying in the coffin.
"Have you met Mr. Wang!" Hongyuan bowed to the air, scaring Xu Hao and Mr. Wang's son!
Hongyuan gathered spiritual energy with both hands and transmitted it to Mr. Wang's son's eyes, and then he said to Xu Hao: "The spiritual energy gathered in both eyes, so that you can see the soul."
Xu Hao immediately learned Hongyuan's actions and gathered his spiritual energy into his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he indeed saw Mr. Wang floating in the air!
Mr. Wang also saw his father, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Father, just say anything you don't explain clearly, especially where you hide your private money. If you don't say it, you won't know who will be cheap!"
Mr. Wang was angry: "You unfilial son, come to see me and say this!"
After saying that, he wanted to slap his son, but he passed it through.
When he encountered this, he seemed to remember that he was dead and said a little discouraged: "Master Hongyuan, I still have some funeral to explain to this unfilial son!"
Hongyuan nodded and said, "I understand!"
Then he pulled Xu Hao out of the ancestral hall and closed the door!
Outside, Xu Hao vaguely heard that Mr. Wang seemed to be asking his son to take care of his brothers and family!
The ghost was still seen in the blue sky and sun. This is more impactful than Xu Hao encountered a ghost last time. Is there really a cycle of reincarnation in this world? Then don’t you have to worry about death here? After all, the soul can still be reincarnated!
Xu Hao sighed: "You don't have to worry about competing for family property in this way. You can explain it clearly. But what should the poor family do? They can't afford to hire a master!"
Hongyuan said: "They don't have any property to be given. And although I don't invite them, there are also witches and cultivators who can communicate with their souls in the countryside. It doesn't cost much to invite these people!"
Xu Hao didn't expect that he had so many competitors, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while!
Xu Hao was curious about the affairs of the underworld and continued to ask: "What should we do with the soul of the poor? They are not as big as Mr. Wang's family, and they can have a ancestral hall!"
Hongyuan patiently taught: "There is a public ancestral hall in the countryside, which is better than the ancestral hall of Mr. Wang's house. Even if there is no ancestral hall, a land temple can still retain souls. However, there is no ancestral hall in a village before, and this has never happened to be a teacher!
And big cities, Taoist temples, and temples like county towns can also be temporarily inhabited by souls, or even temporarily in the City God Temple, enjoy the incense of your descendants, and then enter the underworld after the first seventh!”
Xu Hao said in surprise: "Are Taoist priests and monks so generous?"
Hongyuan gave him a blank look and said, "This is something that can accumulate merits. If everyone can't grab it, how can they refuse? If it weren't for the chaos of the world and the difficulty in practicing, I would have wanted to move the Qingniu Temple to the county town!"
Only then did Xu Hao remember that he was also a Taoist priest now! He smiled at his teacher with an awkward smile!
He continued to ask: "Will these ghosts run by themselves? The world must be much better than the Netherworld, otherwise there would be so many demons and monsters in the world."
