e said I could copy whatever I wanted, so I had to hurry and copy down some of the lost medical texts.Pictures can be taken with a phone, but the small print is not clear when photographed and can onl...Teacher Zhou nodded vigorously: "Take them, take them! I'll never want these things again!"

Idols should never be placed haphazardly. Even without being possessed by strange things, random placement can invite misfortune.

The placement of deities is a matter of consideration. If you wish to invite deities into your home, ensure sincerity and mental preparation.

My home has so many deities enshrined. I bow my head twice a day, morning and evening, and burn three incense sticks at dawn and dusk. The altar is almost spotless.

Old Chen's daily task was to bow and burn incense, and clean the shrine altar until it was spotless.

Though gods are merciful, their mercy has limits. Families who lack understanding and have no boundaries should perhaps avoid placing idols.

It is better not to worship gods than to worship them indiscriminately.

"Master, what just happened Why was there a noise" Teacher Zhou asked.

“Whatever was hiding in here is dealt with now,”

The Gluttonous Wolf used talisman paper to wrap up those black teeth. We carried the statue back home.

It was already dusk when the lights were just beginning to twinkle. Tanlang rubbed his belly and said, "Little uncle, I'm hungry."

"I'm going home right away."

"Who cooks at home"

Huh

I was taken aback. I'd given Lao Chen a break, and my dad's cooking was only edible at best. Grandma was busy looking after the baby and had no time to cook. And Old Mrs. Wu, at her age, how could she possibly be in the kitchen Besides me, there wasn't anyone else who could cook...

"Shall we order takeout What do you want to eat" I took out my phone to look.

There are a few messages on my phone, all from my brother asking about how I'm doing. He thought I was still working and didn't want to call and disturb me.

I have no idea what he's so enthusiastic about, it's just a wooden statue of the Longevity Star. What does he want to do with it

When the delivery guy brought us our food, he asked me, "Wow, you have a lot of family members here!"

"...What does it have to do with you"

“The first time I delivered food, I saw ten boxes of rice.”

I awkwardly gave him a five-star rating. At least four out of these ten boxes of rice are from the gluttonous wolf.

He eats a lot but doesn't gain weight! It's so unfair...

I saw the old lady go to bed early, and then I told Gluttony to check the school supplies. Grandma and the two babies went to bed early too, so I just dragged my feet and went to take a shower.

I'm so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open even in the shower. What's going on

Could it be that the pregnancy symptoms are this obvious this time

I raised my hand to look at the blood jade ring. After several days of "effort," the blood clot inside the ring had almost solidified. It's almost time, today should be the last day, right

The temperature in the bathroom suddenly dropped several degrees. I calmly reached out and twisted the hot water, complaining, “You could have just waited for me outside! It’s so cold now, why don’t you go warm up your bed first…”

Jiang Qiyun sneered: "One pregnancy makes one foolish for three years, you've gone from foolish to even more foolish Me going to warm the bed"

Okay... I guess I'm being naive.

"Mu Xiaoqiao, are you free" Jiang Qiyun crossed his arms and leaned against the sink, staring at me.

Well, this is a bit awkward, isn't it I still have bubbles on me.

I pulled the shower curtain up a little and peered at him, asking, "What is it, Your Majesty Have I done something wrong"

"...If you're so free, come to the underworld and help me stamp things. Go catch ghosts Are you bored Do you need to do such trivial things" Jiang Qiyun said somewhat displeased.

"It was just a small favor, I wouldn't have bothered if it weren't for my brother wanting it. So I went and dealt with it, then brought the thing back!" I quickly defended myself, explaining to him at the same time.

What is it

"A statue of an old birthday star, I don't know what my brother is going to do with it...I put it in a peach wood box!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Qiyun fell silent. He must have gone to look at the statue.

As expected, the moment I stepped out, I saw him exorcising this statue.

"This is carved from elm wood," Jiang Qiyun glanced at me.

"Is there any particular reason for doing it this way"

He smiled and said, “Of course... The material of a statue can be many things, but Taoists especially like wood. Wood represents growth, longevity, and spirituality… However, they would never use acacia wood.”

I understand that. A locust tree, also known as a "mu gui" in some traditions, is believed by Daoists and folk shamans to have heavy yin energy.

"What material is it usually made of" I asked curiously.

"Agarwood, purple rosewood, agarwood..." He smiled and placed the statue back in the sandalwood box.

“I know what Muyunfan wants this thing for.” He smiled and sat down beside me: “This base is quite old, probably a thousand years. If your family’s treasure trove has the Two Stars of Fortune and Luck, completing the three stars will make it even more valuable.”

My brother, this little scoundrel, doesn't let go of even a bit of mosquito meat!

In a few days, my brother hurried back.

I looked at him curiously, and found that he was all alone!

"How did you come back alone Where is Yan Qin Why didn't she come back with you" I asked, frowning.

She has to go home for a bit, or her mom will think I've kidnapped her precious daughter… Besides, I need to hurry back and decorate.

Decoration

"Get the bridal chamber ready" I asked.

My brother almost blew a gasket and glared at me, saying, "Do you think everyone is as smooth sailing as you and your husband I'm just an ordinary person! I have to play by the rules!"

Then what are you going to arrange… I tilted my head and asked.

“Of course…it’s a proposal! My god! Her family has so many rules! They have to get engaged first, then go to the capital for a wedding banquet, and only then will they allow her to get married with me. Then they set a time to have a ‘low-key’ banquet!” My brother scratched his head and said helplessly: “I really want to elope with her…it's so much trouble!”

Pfft...

"Be content! I'm already being merciful by not making you my daughter-in-law... Is there anything I can help you with" I said, rubbing my hands together eagerly.

My brother reached out and grabbed my wrist, staring at the ring on my hand: “Ancestor, the dragon has taken shape, is it still helping Taking good care of yourself during pregnancy is a huge help!”

I couldn't hold back my excitement and blurted out, "When are you going to propose When are we taking wedding photos"

My brother was racking his brains. Hearing my question, he clutched his head and groaned: "Getting married is such a hassle, that's why I always say, single life is best!"

I was taken aback, doesn't this guy regret it

It's impossible, impossible. Lin Yanqin and he are so stable in their relationship. They seem pretty low-key on the surface, but who knows how they get cozy behind closed doors

My brother raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiao Qiao, why don't you take charge of this Anyway, you and Jiang Qiyun haven't taken any wedding photos yet. Why not get it done together"

Well I'd like to, but the problem is Jiang Qiyun... he probably wouldn't agree, would he

Every time someone nearby pulls out their phone to take his picture, he casts a spell to cover the lens.

I told Jiang Qiyun about this in the evening, and he frowned slightly: "It is against the rules for immortals to leave images of themselves in the mortal world— " you going I'll take you.”My ninth senior brother carried a large parasol and brought me to my sister's car. My sister scolded me: "The emperor loves his eldest son, and the people love the youngest c...
