"That’s where I, the Grandmaster, went wrong, this You Hou isn’t as proper and steady."
Li Zhiyuan got down from the Grandmaster’s back, and together they went to help Lin Shuyou pick up his things and headed ho.
"Mr. Li, this is the wine prepared for you, and the tobacco from our place. Give it a try and see if you like it, I’ll have my grandfather send more."
"It’s too much." Li Sanjiang split so of the things, "Zhuangzhuang is not at ho right now, you can separate so things to give to Zhuangzhuang’s partner’s family."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Shuyou took out two long strips of black smoked bacon and ran to Run Sheng: "Run Sheng, look what I brought for you!"
Run Sheng took the bacon, slled it in front of his nose, and imdiately smiled: "A specialty from your place?"
Lin Shuyou was sowhat embarrassed, whose hotown specialty bacon is smoked with incense ashes?
It was just that the temple had a lot of fresh incense ashes, so he specially asked the people in the temple to "soak" the bacon for him.
Run Sheng bit into a piece, chewed and swallowed, eating this thing, no need for incense.
Lin Shuyou then brought a bag of costics to Yin ng: "ng ng, for you."
Yin ng exclaid: "So many brands?"
Lin Shuyou: "Yeah, the waterways are well developed where we are."
Ah You brought the most gifts for Binbin, all of which were for kidney and vitality boosting, even the jar contained the reproductive organs of a protected animal.
"Ah You, co with ."
"Coming, Brother Xiao Yuan."
Under Li Zhiyuan’s gaze, Run Sheng and Yin ng also followed.
Next to the kitchen was a small room, with the walls on both sides filled with deity statues by the Grandmaster, and the one in the middle was mistaken as Confucius by the Grandmaster.
Last ti at ho, Li Zhiyuan cleared a space and asked Alii to help make na plaques for all his team mbers.
The front had their nas, and the back had each person’s birthdate and eight characters.
In the center was a delicate small incense burner, which was brought up by Run Sheng after diving down to solve the Deadman at the construction site. It was originally a good tool for scent positioning, but now that Li Zhiyuan had a better compass, he used it as the Daoist field’s burner.
The place was small and cramped, but where there is a dragon, the water has spirit.
Li Zhiyuan just entered and noticed that incense sticks had been inserted into the incense burner, already burned to the end.
It’s likely inserted by the Grandmaster, as he has the habit of coming here every morning to pray.
Even more interestingly, among the na plaques of the five people, there was a rough board with "Li Sanjiang" written on it in brush.
Li Zhiyuan rembered that the Grandmaster once asked him the purpose of placing na plaques in there, and Li Zhiyuan said it was for blessings. Offering in a temple required incense money, which was not only expensive but also needed renewal ti.
The Grandmaster must have thought it made sense and wrote his own na to put inside, helping himself and Little Yuanhou and the other donkeys with incense each morning for blessings.
Lin Shuyou: "Why is Mr. Li’s na also in there?"
Run Sheng: "Afraid of missing out?"
Lin Shuyou: "How could that be, that’s a real benefit."
Li Zhiyuan: "Just let the Grandmaster’s na be here, after all, he’s Nantong Corpse Recovery Li."
In the young man’s perspective, the Grandmaster was more suited for the Nantong Corpse Recovery Li title than himself; in a proper inheritance order, the Grandmaster should precede him.
Li Zhiyuan: "Temple register divine records."
"Here, here." Lin Shuyou quickly took out the temple register and the god records he personally wrote.
Li Zhiyuan took the items and stacked them on top, then held incense in his left hand, yellow paper in his right, eyes slightly narrowed, and his breath serious.
Lin Shuyou then began divination, and in the next instant, the vertical pupil opened.
Li Zhiyuan: "White Crane Child!"
Lin Shuyou: "Present~"
"Today, I move you into this Daoist field, do you have any objections?"
"Eliminate demons and defend the Dao, it is my duty, no objections!"
Li Zhiyuan inserted the incense, and the yellow paper in his hand ignited, ashes falling onto the temple register divine records.
Then, White Crane Child took out his own deity figurine.
This place was too small, like those deity statues in the Official General Head Temple couldn’t be moved in, and besides, Lin Shuyou can’t bring them over by plane.
Therefore, the deity statues now could only be symbolic.
But the aning... was overly symbolic.
White Crane Child looked at the wooden figure that his divination child had prepared for him.
It was carved by Lin Shuyou himself, the craftsmanship was rough, the coloring uneven, after all, Lin Shuyou was only skilled at giving himself a haircut; he wasn’t a sculptor or painter.
White Crane Child eventually placed the wooden figure up, but the vertical pupils were sowhat twisted.
Those who knew, understood it was his "deity figurine," but those who didn’t might think it was one of those inferior voodoo dolls used for curses.
At this mont, the child suddenly heard the young man next to him speak: "Sorry for the humble conditions, it might be uncomfortable."
The child’s twisted vertical pupils instantly straightened in fright!
The first reaction was that the young man was angry, sarcastically mocking him.
Though in the past, he certainly wouldn’t go to such humble temples, as a small Official General Head Temple implied a lower-quality divination child, fewer tasks, less rit, and limited power.
But this place was an exception, the simpler the better, the child felt its warmth, because this felt like starting out, occupying a position early, a sense of already belonging.
He just simply disliked the fact that his divination child carved such an ugly "deity figurine," thinking perhaps rather than carving a figurine, a na plaque with his na would suffice.
White Crane Child turned to the young man, ready to explain and apologize, not wanting to be ousted on his first day because the higher-up misunderstood him giving attitude.
