Yuan Shou put his hand into his pocket and fumbled for a long time and took out a few wrinkled bills.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"You stinky boy, my fellow villagers are not rich, and you are still eating and drinking at their house."

Yuan Shou rolled his eyes at me and handed a few crumpled bills towards the old village chief.

"Old man, please accept this money. It is a little bit of my gratitude."

Practitioners have five shortcomings and three shortcomings, and the master's uncle is naturally not rich. The total amount of this wad of dimes is estimated to be only a dozen yuan.

I had a distressed look on my face, and I even dared not look at it.

But uncle, do you know that you are completely humiliating yourself!

Sure enough, the village chief did not take the money from the uncle's hand, but instead showed a very sympathetic look on his face.

"This Taoist priest, life in the Taoist temple must be very miserable, right?"

Yuan Shouyi was slightly startled, not quite understanding what the village chief meant.

The village chief shook his head and pulled out a wrapped plastic bag from the basket under the eaves, which contained a bunch of brand new unity.

"Last time I went to the city, I still had some pocket money left, so I'll give it all to you.

This is my personal donation of some incense money. I will buy more meat in the future so that I don’t have to eat it alone all the time.

Look at how thin the young master has become. Fortunately, you are still a master, so you are not afraid of others poking your spine."

The village chief thrust a wad of money into Yuan Shouyi's hand, his eyes filled with contempt.

After that, the village chief walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

The uncle was completely confused and came back carrying a plastic bag.

"Why do I feel like a beggar?"

"Don't worry about the details."

With a helpless smile on my face, I grabbed the uncle's arm and walked towards the outside of the village.

……………………

Lengzhu Town.

This is the nearest town to Yuanbao Village, located on the upper reaches of the Lanchuan River.

Starting from the ferry in Lengzhu Town, taking the waterway down the Lanchuan River, it only takes half a day to reach Yunzhou City.

"Are you really not going back to Laolingou with me?"

Yuan Shouyi frowned and asked.

I hesitated again and again and shook my head.

"It's not the time to go back yet, I'd better go back to Yunzhou first to be more safe."

Now I carry two great divine objects, the Yinshan Talisman and the Nanming Lihuo, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes from the good and the evil are staring at me.

Going back to Laolingou at this time will only bring trouble to Mr. Sang and the others.

After much deliberation, I decided to go back to Yunzhou City first. After all, the Black Cat Master was in the medical center, and even Cangxuan Taoist would not dare to seek bad luck on me easily.

"That's fine! There are probably no more than three people in the world today who can beat Uncle Cat. It will be much safer if you go back to Yunzhou.

If you need anything in the future, you can come to Wufang Mountain Mayi Temple to find me."

I nodded, turned my palm, and handed the Nanli Fire Soul to the great uncle.

"Then I'll trouble you, great uncle, to take the fire spirit back to Laolingou."

Yuan Shouyi took over Nanli's fire soul and rolled it into the Taoist robe.

"This divine thunder talisman took me three years to refine. It is extremely powerful. It may be able to save your life at a critical moment."

Yuan Shou kneaded the magic formula with one hand, and a talisman emitting silver lightning floated in front of me.

Although it is only a palm-sized talisman, I can clearly sense the terrifying thunder and lightning energy in it.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Take care of yourself and be careful."

After saying that, the uncle of the master flicked his robe sleeves and turned into a rune sword and shot through the air.

Looking at the figure of Uncle Master leaving gracefully, I couldn't help but sigh.

If I could possess the master's ability, I would no longer have so many worries about walking in the world.

"Yunzhou, Yunzhou, are you still going to Yunzhou?"

A dark-faced boat boss stood in front of the ferry and shouted in a dialect.

"Uncle, when will the ship leave?"

"Three yuan per person! The ship will leave immediately and we can reach Yunzhou in the dark."

After I paid the money, the boat boss handed me a handwritten ticket.

Just as I was about to board the ship, a woman in her fifties with short gray hair came staggering over, holding a cotton parcel in her arms.

The woman's face was dusty and the cloth shoes on her feet were scuffed. It looked like she had walked a lot.

"Boatman, is this ship going back to Yunzhou?"

"That's right, the boat will be shipped out soon. It costs three yuan per person."

The woman groped around for a long time and finally took out only a few dimes.

"This is not enough!"

The boat boss frowned and looked at the few cents in the woman's hand with some confusion.

"Shipman, I only have so much left. See if you can make it easier."

The boat boss looked at the woman twice and wrote a ticket for her.

"Forget it! It's not easy to see you, so I'll just give you a ride.

You're a woman, why do you come so far?"

The woman looked a little lost and touched the package in her arms.

"My man was stoned to death while building a tunnel in the mountains. I'm here to take him home."

The boat boss tore half of the ticket out of the notebook and stopped moving.

"What you are holding in your arms isn't an urn, is it?"

The woman nodded blankly.

The ship boss retracted his hand, showing a troubled look on his face.

"Sister, why don't you think of other ways?

This is a passenger ship and cannot carry dead people. If you violate this taboo, you will be in big trouble.

And if other guests knew about it, I’m afraid they would feel bad in their hearts.”

The woman touched the urn in her arms with a pleading look on her face.

"Shipman, I have walked more than three hundred miles, and I really can't walk any further."

At this time, there were already guests on the boat who were waiting impatiently and shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Ship boss, when will the ship sail?"

"Soon, soon."

"Is this okay? You said the same thing half an hour ago."

The boat boss frowned and stuffed the woman's few cents back into her hand.

Seeing that the boss of the ship was worried about violating taboos and refused to allow women to bring ashes on board, I couldn't help but speak up.

"Boss of the ship, this man has been burned to ashes and can no longer be considered a corpse.

Just let her go up there, since she's wrapped so tightly that no one else can see what's inside.

Look, this aunt's shoes are worn out, what else can she do, just make it easier for you."

As I said that, I took out two pieces of big unity and slapped them into the hands of the ship boss.

The boat boss took a deep breath and hesitated before handing the woman a ticket.

"Okay! You met a good person today."

With tears filling her face, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me several times.

"Sister, get up quickly and get on the boat!"

"Thank you, thank you."

The woman then stood up with a full face and bowed to me repeatedly.

Before boarding the boat, the boss of the boat did not forget to remind me in a low voice.

"Be sure to cover it tightly. If anyone asks, just say it's pickled vegetables."

Seeing that there was no one around the ferry, the boat boss slowly untied the cable.

The boat boss glanced at the woman huddled in the corner of the boat and bowed towards the river.
