I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 141 Small is also very cute

In the coroner's shop, which is open day and night, the lights are flickering.

Huang Xiaoliu seemed to be under a spell, standing motionless in the shop.

In front of it, a black cat was pacing back and forth.

Xu Qing looked at the little yellow rat whose legs were trembling and kept looking at him for help, and simply chose to ignore it.

We will inevitably be in the same class in the future, so for now, just treat it as desensitization training in advance.

"Is this the new scout recruited by the hall?"

Xuan Yu stopped and looked at Xu Qing.

"Is the Hall Master dissatisfied?"

When the black cat heard Xu Qing calling him the "Hall Master" in front of Huang Xiaoliu, the tips of its ears trembled. As a fairy of the Cat Fairy Hall, it was the first time it heard this title.

Xuan Yu glanced at Huang Xiaoliu and then commented briefly, "He's a bit dull and doesn't look very smart."

Huang Xiaoliu almost cried when he heard this. Which mink would dare to move around when seeing a cat?

Fortunately, Xuan Yu did not mind. After all, the hall was short of manpower, and having an errand boy to report to the hall was better than having nothing.

Here, Huang Xiaoliu had just watched Xuanyu jump onto the counter, and before he could catch his breath, a majestic and proud rooster walked in from the backyard.

The weasel and the chicken have always been at odds with each other. As soon as the two met, the golden rooster flapped its wings and pounced on it.

Xu Qing's brows twitched. This Jin Luan never had a peaceful moment every day!
At the counter, Xuan Yu had a lot to say and was about to tell Xu Qing, but before he could even open his mouth, he was interrupted by the tactless Rooster.

Mice can tolerate this, but cats can’t!
After a few claws, Jinluan hummed and went back to the chicken coop in the backyard.

Huang Xiaoliu clasped his hands together and bowed repeatedly to Xuan Yu to express his gratitude.

Xu Qing was amused. Xuan Yu's small gesture alone had completely impressed the new employee in front of him.

Back at the counter, Xuanyu, who had just beaten the rooster, seemed like a cat that had not been harmed. He sat elegantly on the counter, with his tail habitually wrapped around his feet.

She was like a rich girl who had learned etiquette and manners, and could control herself with ease.

Xuan Yu stared at Xu Qing behind the counter without blinking.

At some point, it finally couldn't help but speak: "Xu Xianjia, I heard from the big rooster that you set up a circle outside, and the one in charge is a big tiger?"

When Xuanyu started talking, the tail wrapped around her little feet swung involuntarily.

Xu Qing nodded and said, "That big tiger has good character. Our Cat Fairy Hall is short of manpower. In a few years, Xuanyu might also experience a cultivation disaster. Having more people in the hall to do things for him will probably help Xuanyu accumulate more incense. This way, when he faces disasters in the future, he will have an easier time."

Upon hearing this, the tip of Xuanyu's tail stopped shaking immediately.

"Is that so? Then I have to manage the hall well in the future, so that the Xuxian family will have enough incense to use when they overcome the tribulation in the future."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "There's still a lot of time to go. Xuanyu Immortal Family doesn't need to worry too much. We just need to maintain the same state as before."

"Well"

Xuanyu's tail tip swayed slightly again, and it suddenly asked, "Is that big tiger powerful?"

Xu Qing shook his head. "It has been in contact with incense and worship with its godmother since it was young. It has only practiced Taoism for a few decades. Later, its temple was abandoned and the incense was not much left. Sometimes it even has to think twice before transforming into a human form."

"Besides, people say that cats are the masters of tigers. The Xuanyu Immortal Family has never relied on the power of incense before, and their own Taoism has been cultivated through hard work, so Xuanyu is definitely more powerful."

Some immortals rely purely on the power of incense. Guan Dazhuang's ability to transform and the various spells he cast when the mountain king appeared were all born out of incense. Once the temple walls collapse and the incense is exhausted, the magical powers they have obtained will disappear.

Therefore, Xu Qing never regarded incense as a form of spiritual practice, but as consumables. Even if they were used to reduce disasters in the future or as funds for the hall, they were all products left over from the mundane world. For him and Xuan Yu, these things were not the foundation of their lives.

When Xuan Yu heard Xu Qing praising him for being so powerful, the tip of his tail, which had been shaking slightly, returned to stillness again.

It listened attentively to Xu Qing's praise, afraid of missing a word.

"So the Xuanyu Immortal Family only needs to focus on their own cultivation from now on, and they don't need to devote any energy to collecting incense offerings."

Xuan Yu pondered for a moment, but did not choose to follow Xu Qing's advice.

"No, I want to accumulate incense, and I want to accumulate a lot of it."

Xu Qing was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the cat in front of him say, "The Xu Xian family is about to face a calamity in their cultivation. Only by accumulating enough incense can we help the Xu Xian family alleviate the calamity."

"."

Xu Qing burst out laughing.

"Okay, then save as much as you can."

As he was speaking, Xu Qing suddenly thought of something. He looked at Xuan Yu with sparkling eyes and said, "When I was in the Circle Hall, I learned from Big Tiger the method of transforming into a human form through incense. Xuan Yu, do you want to learn it?"

"Ok?"

Feeling Xu Qing's gaze, Xuan Yu's already erect cat ears seemed to stand even taller.

"Does incense transformation require incense?"

"I need some."

"How much are some?"

Xu Qing recalled the intensity of the incense when Guan Dazhuang transformed and replied, "About this much."

With a flip of his palm, Xu Qing took out a ball of incense from the Dharma Realm of the Cat Fairy Hall.

"Too much!"

Xu Qing blinked and said, "Xuan Yu can wait until there is enough incense before transforming. I can teach the method of transforming incense to Xuan Yu Xianjia first."

"I don't want to learn!" Xuan Yu said with some annoyance: "If I learn it, I will definitely be unable to resist wasting incense."

Seeing that his plan had failed, Xu Qing looked quite regretful.

"Xu Xianjia, what does a tiger look like? Is it majestic?"

"Of course it's majestic." Xu Qing smiled and said, "The tiger is the king of the forest, the leader of all beasts. Its roar is like a raging wave, and its roar shakes the earth. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a saying as 'the tiger swallows thousands of miles with its aura.'"

The lights in the coroner's shop were dim. Xuan Yu turned his head to look at his own shadow on the wall. The shadow seemed taller than a tiger.

Xuanyu knew it was just a shadow, but he couldn't help asking, "How big is the tiger in Quantang?"

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, put his hand in front of the lamp, and kept adjusting the distance between himself and the wick.

When the shadow of his fist on the wall was just the right size, he said, "About this size."

Xuanyu opened his mouth slightly, amazed by her beauty.

When it was staying at a wealthy young lady's house, there were mice in the study. It had the opportunity to visit the study. On the wall of the study hung a picture of a tiger. The tiger was only as big as a dog, but it never imagined that the real tiger outside the painting would be so much bigger than the one in the painting!

Xuan Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Qing again.

"So do you like big ones?"

Xu Qing blinked and said:
“Actually, the small ones are cute too.”

Later that night, Xu Qing closed his shop and headed to the Shuimenqiao Villa with Xuanyu, who wanted to play with the embroiderer. The Shuimenqiao Villa was a prime location for him to train his Impulsive Generals and Ghost Soldiers. The corpses in his box garden had accumulated quite a bit in recent days, and with the corpses in the Villa, he could probably train at least one new Impulsive General.

On the way, Xu Qing asked Xuanyu about the recent business in the shop and whether he had met anyone.

Xuan Yu walked along, saying, "There was a man who was selling paper figurines. I wasn't possessed by a spirit medium at the time, and he was so rude. When he saw me, he told me I was a braised egg."

"I was so angry that I possessed Sun Erniang and asked him for ten taels of silver for each paper figurine."

Xu Qing's breath stagnated. This was really rude. This was Xuan Yu. If it were any other monster, I'm afraid there would be no peace in the house in the near future.

"Did he pay?"

"Yes, he did. He seemed very rich. Without saying anything, he gave me a silver note worth 100 taels, and then bought all the paper-made items in the shop."

"Give it to you?" Xu Qing was a little surprised. You know, one hundred taels of silver notes is not a small amount, and those paper figures may not add up to two taels of silver.

Xuan Yu continued, "I was afraid the note was fake, so I went to see Boss Cheng across the street. She said she had never seen a 100-liang note in her life and couldn't tell for sure."

"I took notice and showed the banknote to Old Man Hu again. He said it was real."

Xu Qing was surprised and asked, "Does Xuanyu still remember what that person looks like?"

"He was wearing a mandarin jacket, a small hat on his head, and holding two walnuts in his hands. He looked just like Mr. Feng. He even asked if the shop had a big rooster for sale."

After hearing this, Xu Qing roughly knew who the other party was. He was most likely a troublemaker like Mr. Feng. People like him were usually not short of money, so it was no wonder that the other party was so generous.

It is said that the black cat is a thing that can ward off evil spirits. It is easy to place it in the south. It is said that it can protect the house, ward off evil spirits, and attract wealth.

Now it seems to be true!
He had only been away for a few days, and Xuan Yu had already earned nearly a hundred taels of silver.

The zombie and the cat were chatting and soon arrived at the Shuimen Bridge Villa.

Xu Qing raised his hand and knocked on the gate, and the next moment a sad and ethereal voice came from the courtyard.

"The boudoir is quiet and the door is closed. A few sparse stars are visible. The night clock is late and soul-destroying. The wind is gentle and the rain is soft. The silver lamp flickers. The thin shadow moves frequently. I am obsessed, a slave with a miserable life, and I wander the world with a short life. When will I return?"

"My fate is so miserable. My lord, you knock on my door, but are you going to die with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leaves of the two jujube trees at the door swayed in the wind, and even the courtyard door rattled.

At a certain moment, a rope suddenly dropped from the eaves in front of the door, and the dangling rope end was just enough to reach a person's neck.

Xu Qing was speechless for a moment.

This female ghost's methods of scaring away strangers are becoming more and more elaborate.

Xuanyu beside him was not afraid at all.

The bright moon falls in the quiet courtyard, and the black cat steps lightly on the shadow.

Xuan Yu jumped lightly onto the top of the wall, sat there and watched the female ghost in the yard trying her best to scare people.

It was not until Xu Qing's voice was heard outside the courtyard gate that the female ghost who sang opera and blew the wind hurriedly put away her "magic power" and then floated towards the door with joy.

"Master is finally back. I was so scared staying alone in this secluded courtyard."

Xu Qing gritted his teeth at this, thinking, "What can a ghost like you be afraid of? Is there any more trouble in this courtyard?"

"Have you fallen behind in your studies recently?"

The lessons Xu Qing was referring to were naturally the female role lessons taught by Mr. Liu, the boss of the Liyuan Opera House.

"I haven't fallen behind. Sister Liu just taught me the techniques of the female warrior. Sir, wait a minute, I'll show you a flower spear dance!"

As she spoke, the embroiderer came to the yard excitedly and took down a fancy spear from the weapons rack among the swords, spears, and halberds.

The embroiderer's method of taking the flower spear was also different. She didn't use her hands, but just turned her back and kicked her heel under the spear barrel, like kicking a shuttlecock, and kicked the flower spear into the air.

Without waiting for the lance to fly off the weapon rack, the embroiderer reached over her head with her bare hands and grabbed the spear shaft, pulling the lance back into her hand.

Xu Qing had just returned from a business trip and was happy to watch a play to relax.

On the top of the wall, Xuan Yu looked at the female ghost dancing with the spear with great skill, his eyes sparkling.

This flower gun looks fun.
After finishing the flower spear dance, the embroiderer bit her lip and said shyly: "In addition to dancing with spears and sticks, I have also learned some music and dance. If you want to see it, I will change my clothes and dance for you."

"."

Xu Qing glanced at the cat that jumped off the wall and walked towards them, and stopped it decisively: "Let's talk about this later. Xuanyu and I came here today for other things to do."

Only then did the embroiderer see the black cat walking towards her.

"Ah! It's Xuanyu, come here and let your sister hug you."

"."

Faced with the female ghost who had no sense of boundaries, Xuan Yu simply chose to ignore her.

"It seems Xuanyu is only close to you, sir."

Looking at the black cat that ignored her and walked straight to Xu Qing's side, the embroiderer sighed softly: "Xuanyu can follow the master and come and go freely, but I can only guard the deep house."

Xu Qing shook his head slightly and said, "Xuan Yu can come and go freely because it has four hundred years of cultivation. Even so, it only dares to stay in Jinmen. How long have you been a ghost now, and how many years of cultivation have you had?"

"Although this mansion is deep, it is an excellent place for ghost cultivation. Besides, didn't you stay at home for many years in your life? Why are you thinking about the outside world today?"

Upon hearing this, the embroiderer stamped her feet in anxiety: "Master, you really don't know what's good for you. I just want to follow you, not to worry about the scenery outside. If you weren't here, I wouldn't be interested in seeing the scenery outside!"

"."

Well! This ghost is still a pestering ghost!

Let’s say, you are a normal ghost, but you follow a zombie for a walk all day long. Is that reasonable?
Xu Qing shook his head, then took a shovel from the corner and threw it to the embroiderer.

Seeing the ghost girl still standing there in a daze, Xu Qing immediately said, "A female warrior must not only be able to wield swords and spears, but also shovels and hoes!"

"."

Under the moon, there was a hardworking and simple female ghost, holding a shovel, digging a hole to bury the corpse.

When Xuan Yu saw this scene, he became more certain of his choice.

If it had really listened to what Xu Qing said and used the incense to transform into a human form, it might be holding a hoe and digging a hole there at this moment.

In the courtyard, after all the corpses were buried, Xu Qing set up a ritual altar and began to gather the evil spirits from the corpses to cultivate the fruit of the rampant soldiers.

There are now more than a hundred corpses in the courtyard. Among these corpses, there is even a witch or medicine corpse of the highest quality.

Xu Qing felt the overflowing evil spirits and conservatively estimated that he could at least train two top-grade generals.

In the courtyard, Xuanyu and Xiu Niang were afraid of disturbing Xu Qing's ritual, so they ran to the roof and watched from afar.

"Sir, you know so much. Even the high-level masters in famous temples are probably no more knowledgeable than him." The embroiderer couldn't help but admire Xu Qing as he walked the martial arts world, chanted spells and chanted incantations.

"The Xu Xian family has always been like this."

Hearing the embroiderer praising Xu Qing, Xuan Yu seemed to feel honored.
