I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 58 Temple Keeper

Qingshan Temple, an open space.

Chi Le walked out of the side hall and came to the open space.

At this point, the land deity of Changxi Village had completed the entire process of murder, collecting the body and placing it in a coffin, and finally burying the bald-headed Zhang.

As for the process of burying the body and placing it in a coffin, and the process of burying it in the ground, these were combined into one step by Changxi Village.

This is all for the purpose of simplifying the process.

Withdrawing his gaze from the earthen ball containing the remains of the bald man, Zhang, flying into the distance, Chi Le checked on the situation of the people present.

Chen Cheng is out of danger.

They were giving Chen Hao, who was lying on the ground, some basic first aid.

Zhao Zhu's father was the only barefoot doctor in Changxi Village.

Under the influence of his surroundings, Zhao Zhu also learned some basic medical skills.

With Zhao Zhu's help.

Chen Cheng quickly cleaned and bandaged Chen Hao's obvious external injuries.

As for the internal injuries, Chen Hao will need to rest and recuperate.

However, Chen Hao's vital signs have now completely stabilized, and he has even opened his eyes.

After seeing Chi Le emerge from the side hall, the group stood up and bowed to him.

Despite his injuries, Chen Hao, who was lying on the ground, forced himself to get up and bow.

Chi Le's gaze swept over them.

Apart from the Chen siblings who had met Chi Le before.

Zhao Zhu and the two farmers behind him both had a flushed face with excitement.

They even wanted to kneel down on the spot and shout for divine intervention.

And in fact, that's exactly what they did.

However, before he could kneel down, Chi Le stopped him.

There was no way around it; it was all due to the legend of the Qingshan Temple on the nameless mountain in front of my house.

They had heard it countless times from their parents since they were young.

The abbot is a celestial being who descended to earth to protect Changxi Village from evil spirits.

If you have nothing to do, pray in the direction of Qingshan Temple often; it will protect your wishes.

When they were children, their parents used to scare them.

If you don't obey, the abbot of Qingshan Temple will tear off your little penis in your dreams.

They had heard all sorts of explanations.

But today, when the abbot of Qingshan Temple appeared before them.

Furthermore, it instigated the local earth god of Changxi Village to target Bald-Headed Zhang.

During festivals, they would go to offer sacrifices to the Earth God.

Zhao Zhu and his companions were naturally very familiar with the image of the local earth god in their village.

That's the Earth God, who has been worshipped at the entrance of Changxi Village since its establishment, with a small shrine and a clay statue!

He accepted the Lord's command in this way.

Exorcising gods and summoning immortals!

If this isn't a true celestial being, then what is it?!

"Master... I am... Zhao Zhu."

Zhao Zhu spoke haltingly, clearly still reeling from the shock of meeting this living deity.

"Observe..."

"Guanzhu...I..."

The two people behind Zhao Zhu reacted in the same way, but Chi Le didn't correct them, and just said calmly.

"Enter the temple and offer incense."

Upon receiving the decree, the individuals responded in unison and rushed towards the main hall, which had just opened its doors.

After Chi Le finished speaking, he walked towards Chen Cheng and Chen Hao.

He first glanced at Chen Hao.

"Go back and rest."

Chi Le decided to give this worshipper, who had contributed incense and achieved perfect attendance since their first meeting, a break.

Moreover, Qingshan Temple indeed had no place to provide him with the conditions to recover from his injuries.

Chen Hao was taken aback for a moment, but then he quickly figured it out.

Only with Grandpa Zhao's help can my injuries heal more quickly after I return to Changxi Village.

In order to repay the abbot in the future and contribute more incense to Qingshan Temple, I must return to Changxi Village to recuperate.

"Alright, Abbot, I, Chen, obey."

Chen Hao bowed to Chi Le with difficulty, his voice weak but firm.

Then, Chi Le looked at Chen Cheng next to Chen Hao and spoke.

"Are you prepared to become a temple keeper?"

Chen Cheng looked at Chen Hao, who had nodded to her, and said with certainty.

"Yes, Abbot!"

Should we recruit Chen Cheng to serve as the temple keeper?

Having received a response, Chi Le clicked "confirm" on the panel that appeared before her eyes.

As if sensing something, Chen Cheng looked toward the main hall with its open doors.

Inside the main hall, the statues of gods and immortals seated in the center exhibited strange phenomena.

At that moment, layers of pale golden light emanated from the statue, constantly shifting and changing, like a dream.

This reminded Chen Cheng of the small river at the entrance of the village.

At sunrise, the water always glistens with a layer of golden light, and under the action of the flowing water, it becomes a moving ribbon that shimmers with tiny specks of gold.

The golden light flowing from the statue condensed at the location of His palm, transforming into a golden sphere of light.

It then flew out of the palm and landed on Chen Cheng's forehead.

A single golden ray entered the Niwan (a point on the body).

Chen Cheng involuntarily closed his eyes, and ice crystals uncontrollably floated out of his body.

Even though Chi Le was several steps away from Chen Cheng, he could still feel the chill emanating from Chen Cheng.

The ice crystals gradually melted, and his eyebrows and eyes trembled.

Chen Cheng opened his eyes, a flash of golden light passing through them.

She imitated Chen Hao and bowed to Chi Le.

"Chen Cheng, the temple keeper of Qingshan Temple, greets the abbot."

[Successfully recruiting a new temple keeper – Chen Cheng]

Temple Keeper - Chen Cheng

[Rank: Not yet ranked]

[Ability: Frost Flowers Fly]

[Effect: Creates a frost-filled area with a radius of one meter around the user.]

Looking at Chen Cheng's control panel.

Chi Le's first reaction was happiness.

Good. If we train Chen Cheng well, we'll have another henchman later.

As for what comes next...

Chi Le didn't want to talk too much about her envy of Chen Cheng's extraordinary abilities.

"Are your responsibilities clear?"

Chi Le's tone remained calm.

But Chen Cheng always felt that there was a different emotion in the tone of the abbot's voice than before.

Suppressing the strange feeling that had arisen in his heart, Chen Cheng replied.

"I knew it when that... golden orb floated over and merged into my body. It's amazing."

Just after the golden light drifted into her brow.

Chen Cheng first felt a warmth spreading from between his eyebrows to his entire body.

The golden light traveled along the unseen meridians, bringing her an extremely comfortable feeling, like the feeling of lying in her mother's arms when she was a child.

Moreover, guided by the golden light, she can now freely control the ice crystals to appear and disappear!

At the same time, Jin Guang also brought her her main responsibilities after becoming a temple keeper.

In short, it means opening the door so that worshippers can enter and offer incense.

The responsibilities are not difficult, but there are many things to pay attention to.

Chen Cheng had already memorized them all.

She will definitely do a good job as the temple keeper!

Chen Cheng made a silent vow in his heart.

[Received devout worship from Zhao Zhu, incense offering +2!]

[Received from...]

A total of 4 incense points were obtained.

After Zhao Zhu and the others finished offering incense to the statues of the gods, they quickly approached Chen Cheng.

"Xiao Cheng! You're the temple keeper of Qingshan Temple now?!"

The faces of the group were filled with barely concealed joy.

Zhao Zhu and the others had all witnessed the strange phenomenon on the statue of the immortals and the scene of Xiao Cheng receiving the golden light.

They were naturally overjoyed that this young girl, whom they had watched grow up, could become the temple keeper of Qingshan Temple.

"Yeah, Brother Zhao, I'm the temple keeper of Qingshan Temple now, hehe."

Chen Cheng scratched his head and said with a grin.

"Brother, look, it's snowing now!"

She then ran up to Chen Hao and showed off her abilities.

Zhao Zhu walked to Chen Hao's side and gently patted his shoulder.

"Your parents would be very happy to see this."

"yes."

Chen Hao looked at Chen Cheng, who was showing off his abilities in front of him, and sighed.

After a short stay, Zhao Zhu planned to take Chen Hao and two other men back to the village.

The fact that there is indeed an abbot at Qingshan Temple is something the villagers are waiting for to return and inform them of.

"Xiao Cheng, I'll take your brother back first and let my dad take a good look at him."

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, please take care on your journey."

"Yes, I'll come to Qingshan Temple to offer incense when I have time, and I'll also visit you while I'm there."

"OK!"

After saying goodbye to Chen Cheng.

Zhao Zhu approached Chi Le and bowed.

"Master, Mr. Zhao will return to the village first."

Chi Le nodded and then spoke.

"The lamp oil for next month will be available in ten days."

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Zhu was first stunned, then overjoyed.

"good!"

The most pressing problem facing Changxi Village was solved by Chi Le with a single sentence.

Sure enough, as long as the abbot of Qingshan Temple is there, none of these are problems!

At this moment, Chen Cheng added a sentence.

"Uncle Zhao, after we go back, everyone in the village can come to Qingshan Temple whenever they have time. After offering incense, the gods will bless us!"

He served as the temple keeper of Qingshan Temple.

Chen Cheng felt it was necessary to encourage more villagers to come to Qingshan Temple to offer incense and worship the gods.
