The Taoist temple was ready.

Shi Qingluo waited for a good opportunity to inform the villagers based on Mr Li's advice.

Anyone was welcome to offer incense at the Taoist temple.

Xiao Hanzheng also went to the county town to invite Mr Li to the temple's official reopening.

What surprised Shi Qingluo was that apart from Xiaxi village, almost every family from neighboring villages came too.

There were quite a number of people from the county town, and also some from other places.

Third Son Shi pulled Mdm Niu along.

Before dawn, they waited at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

As soon as the door opened, they rushed in to offer the first incense stick of the day to pray for a son.


Although Mdm Niu had a grudge against her daughter Shi Qingluo, she looked more serious when she offered incense at the old priest's memorial tablet.

Shi Qingluo saw the crowd gushing in the Taoist temple to offer incense devoutly.

The crowd made her feel like she was on an excursion during a modern holiday.

Standing at one corner of the main hall, she sighed. "I didn't expect so many people to come."

Xiao Hanzheng applied for leave in the county school today. "Everyone believes that your master is an old immortal, so when the Taoist temple reopened, they wanted to come and pay their respects."

Shi Qingluo chuckled. "That's good too. The more mysterious it is, the better it gets."

When the corn was ready for harvest at the end of the next month, her master would also be able to manifest his spirit.

Xiao Hanzheng knew what she meant.

He chuckled softly and asked, "Now, do you want to ask your master to show his spirit first?"

Shi Qingluo threw him a knowing look. "Of course, we need a good start."

As they spoke, several village chiefs approached Shi Qingluo and her husband.

"Dalang's wife, can you bring us to offer incense to the old immortal?"

In the past few months, the livelihood of the villagers had gradually improved because of Shi Qingluo.

Everyone was very grateful to Shi Qingluo and respectful towards the old Taoist priest who had taught her.

Just as she was thinking of how to get her master to manifest himself, the chiefs came knocking on her door. They were good people!

She nodded and smiled. "Of course."

Hence, she took a handful of incense from the table and gave each of them three sticks, and put the rest back.

She even reached out to straighten the slightly tilted incense burner while she tapped the switch.

There were nine buttons behind the incense burner like a password plate.

Shi Qingluo had set a six-digit password.

Touching those six buttons would activate the mechanism.

If she just tapped them, tapped the wrong six digits, or tapped them in the wrong order, the mechanism would not be activated.

She was very glad that Xiao Mu and his son had joined her in this.

Xiao Mu had inherited his skills from a senior craftsman.
