Genius Baby，Seven Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Going Down the Mountain

Jiulong Mountain, Sanqing Temple.

"Master Wuwu, please don't chase me down the mountain. I can't bear to leave you. Please!"

The Taoist temple stood majestically, but the roads on both sides were covered with withered yellow leaves. There was silence all around, but suddenly a childish cry was heard from inside.

Inside the main hall, Zhou Zhou sat on the ground, wrapping her arms and legs tightly around Li Yuanming's legs. The girl had a bald head, but wore a tattered Taoist robe that was washed white and had traces of patching everywhere, making her look like a little beggar.

At this moment, she looked up at Li Yuanming, grinning and howling, trying hard to squeeze out a few tears. Her chubby little face was full of sadness, and she looked at him miserably with a pouty mouth.

"Don't cry. I just want you to go down the mountain to gain some experience. I'm not going to chase you away." Seeing his little disciple crying so pitifully, Li Yuanming couldn't bear it. He looked at her bald head and touched it, with a look of regret on his face.

If he had known this earlier, he wouldn??t have competed with the bald guy next door for an apprentice!

No wonder they gave it to him so readily when he went to rob the person. The abbot even asked him to swear that he would never return the money. He thought that they couldn't afford to raise a child because their temple was not popular enough, so he laughed at them harshly at the time.

Only now do I realize that Zhou Zhou was born to be short of money!

Three years have passed since the old monk picked up the baby Zhou Zhou from his cradle, and the temple that was once so popular has become sparsely populated.

Their Taoist temple was almost bankrupt just one year after they brought her back.

On the contrary, during this year, the temple next door gradually regained its former prosperity after seeing her off.

Recalling the past, Li Yuanming shook his head in grief. When he saw his apprentice holding a broken bowl with only a few grains of rice in the rice soup, he became more determined. He resisted the urge to hug his apprentice and said with a straight face, "No, you have grown up. It's time to go down the mountain."

"I'm not big, I'm only four years old." Zhou Zhou raised his chubby little hand and hiccuped to refute. After that, he quickly took his hand back and hung it tightly on his leg, shaking it gently. "Master, please don't chase me away, okay? I promise I will never steal food again."

Li Yuanming stumbled and almost fell down. He steadied himself and said firmly, "No!"

"You've said this countless times, and you'll cheat again next time."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou felt a little guilty, touched his stomach, and said pitifully with a flat mouth: "But I'm hungry."

"We're hungry too!" Li Yuanming was filled with grief. "You eat five meals a day, eight bowls a meal. You're going to eat us out of money!"

"That's fine. If you don't have money, you can just make more. But you're still short of money. No matter how much money we make, it's useless. We won't even have the incense for our ancestors!"

"Your brothers and nephews have all gone down the mountain to work, but they still can't support you. If you don't come down the mountain, we will all go begging tomorrow!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Zhou felt even more guilty and asked in a low voice: "Master, is there no room for negotiation?"

Li Yuanming shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou pouted, his little head drooped, and he leaned listlessly on his legs, his ears also drooped, like an abandoned puppy.

"Okay, then let me go down the mountain. From now on, whether I become a beggar or starve to death on the street, I will not bring trouble to Master. It will be better if I can become a spirit. Then I can always be with Master and I don't have to eat."

As she spoke, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve, looking sad yet strong.

Hearing this, Li Yuanming felt very sad. He sighed softly and touched her head with his big hand. "Don't be afraid. Master has helped you contact your uncle Mingtong. He is doing well now. You will never lack food if you follow him."

"Also, haven't you always wanted Master's Qiankun Mirror? I'll give this to you as a parting gift."

As he spoke, he took out a bronze mirror from his arms and handed it to her.

Zhou Zhou's ears moved slightly and her eyes rolled around. She didn't look up, still looking sad, her shoulders shaking and her crying getting louder.

Li Yuanming gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you the small medicine cauldron as well."

"Okay!" Zhou Zhou stopped crying, his hands and feet loosened, and he stood up from the ground with a bright smile, without any trace of crying on his face. "Thank you, Master. I'll go pack my things now."

After saying that, he spread his short legs and ran towards the room.

Li Yuanming looked at her from behind, and he had no idea that he had just been tricked by this little girl. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and shouted angrily: "Traitor!"

The junior fellow student at the side said with a smile: "Alright, you were going to give this thing to Zhou Zhou in the first place. Besides, you are not as good as Zhou Zhou in refining medicine and fortune-telling. It is useless to keep this thing with you. It is better to make the best use of it."

Li Yuanming snorted and said with his neck stiff, "Who said I'm not as good as her? I'm her master!"

The junior fellow looked at him with a smile, but did not expose him, and just smiled without saying anything.

All the capable brothers and sisters at that time went down the mountain to make big money, but he was too incompetent, so he was left behind to be the abbot.

Li Yuanming also thought of this. He touched his nose awkwardly, muttered, and walked to the back.

If he hadn't seen that she had a rare talent in metaphysics that only comes once in a thousand years, he wouldn't have tried to snatch her away, let alone ended up in this state today.

Those monks didn't even tell him about this. Those without hair are the most cunning!

He thought angrily.

Not long after, Zhou Zhou came out. Her bald forehead was covered with wealth-attracting talismans, and she had three copper coins hanging around her neck. On one side of her waist was a gourd, and on the other side was a huge Pi Xiu, which she had carved herself. It was extremely ugly, but its only feature was that it was big.

They were all objects that could attract wealth, but she was born short of money. The gathered wealth would completely dissipate once it touched her and was completely useless.

Seeing her like this, Li Yuanming's mouth twitched, "Zhou Zhou, you are born short of money and have no luck with wealth. Give up and don't even think about it."

Zhou Zhou shook her head, carrying a bag on her shoulders that was bigger than her. "No, my senior brother said that my fate is in my own hands. As long as I work hard, I will definitely get rich. When I make money, I will give it all to the Taoist temple!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanming was touched. The young disciple sometimes let his master down, but he was still a thoughtful person.

He walked over and handed her a gray statue that looked exactly like the person in the main hall.

"My dear disciple, since you are so ambitious, Master will now entrust the important task of restoring the Taoist temple to you. Come on, Master is counting on you!"

Zhou Zhou lowered his head, looked at the statue in his hand curiously, and asked in surprise: "Master, what are you giving me the ancestor for? Also, where is the golden light on the ancestor's body?"

When she was a child, she had seen the ancestor god in her master??s room. It was shining with golden light and was so beautiful. Why did it become so dusty now?

"What do you think?" Li Yuanming looked at her resentfully.

Zhou Zhou reacted instantly and realized that it must be because she was short of money again.

The Taoist temple is in decline, and the ancestors have no more incense and offerings, so this is what has happened.

She smiled bitterly and quickly hugged the statue. "Master, don't worry. I will make a lot of money and bring glory back to the ancestor!"

Li Yuanming glanced at her, knowing that it was impossible for her to do it as she was short of money, but he did not discourage her. "Master will not force you to offer incense, as long as you are full. After you go down the mountain, if you encounter anyone who needs help, you can lend a hand. Do more good deeds and earn some merit for the ancestor. This will also be good for you and can improve your lack of money."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up and he nodded solemnly, "Yes, Master, I remember it!"

Looking at the little disciple's watery eyes, Li Yuanming felt a little reluctant, but finally patted her shoulder and said, "Go down the mountain, remember to find your uncle Mingtong, he will take care of you."

"Okay." Zhou Zhou held his hand and looked at him reluctantly, "Master, you have to be well too. When I make some money, I will come back to see you."

"Well, go quickly, it will be dark if you go late."

"Yeah." Zhou Zhou nodded, looking back every few steps, which made Li Yuanming feel sad.

If the Taoist temple could not sustain itself any longer, he would not have been willing to let his little disciple go.

I just hope she has the best journey.

After she could no longer see them, Zhou Zhou withdrew her gaze, turned around and ran quickly. Soon she reached the foot of the mountain. She stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look at the scenery outside. The corners of her mouth could not help but rise, and two small dimples appeared on her chubby face, which was very sweet.

Great, we??re finally down the mountain.

She had heard from Senior Brother Seven about how many delicious and fun things there were at the foot of the mountain, and she had been craving for them for a long time.

She finally got the chance to experience it.

Thinking of this, she smiled even more brightly and walked forward briskly. After taking a few steps, she suddenly found a group of people gathered in front of her, making a lot of noise.

Then someone was heard shouting, "Doctor! Is there a doctor? Save our old lady!"
