Chapter 11 The most tormenting days
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Qing has been opening the store for almost a month, and now the average income per day is about 100 yuan, which is really not much, but just like that, Zhang Qing already feels that he is very remarkable. I seem to have forgotten that my goal this time is to complete a major task in my life---- to marry a wife! If you want to marry a wife, you must have a house, a car, a ticket, and a ......
Actually, it's not that I forgot it, but I don't dare to think about it! This point is still more chic than Lao Gu, although he is out of the house and still owes his ex-wife 200,000 yuan, but Lao Gu seems to be living quite freely. Not only is his lottery shop much larger than Zhang Qing's, but the room he lives in is also air-conditioned. Recently, I haven't come to Zhang Qing to eat, firstly, Lao Gu himself can cook, at the beginning under the pressure of his weightlifting wife, Lao Gu can do anything! Second, Zhang Qing often sees Lao Gu running to the 'Cuihua Restaurant' to eat from time to time, and the proprietress seems to be very ambiguous with Lao Gu!
So Zhang Qing has always been very skeptical that Lao Gu is not as miserable as he said, in Lao Gu's words, the 200,000 yuan owed to his ex-wife can be paid off in installments, and he plans to pay it off in ten years. Now the money in Lao Gu's pocket is still what he lent out before, and now he has recovered some of it!
I have to say that the air conditioner in Lao Gu's room has always been very enviable to Zhang Qing, every day in the stuffy and hot store, it is the most painful thing for Zhang Qing, although it is to turn on the electric fan, but it is useless, and every day he is sweating. This period of time should be the most difficult time in Zhang Qing's history. What's worse is that the sequelae of the broken plate have not completely disappeared, and I will be dizzy from time to time, and the time to sleep every night has also increased a lot, and I could have made a little money in the game at night, but now I can't hold it, and basically I have no energy at ten o'clock.
Zhang Qing couldn't help but think a little about the old Taoist named Sha Wuseng, not thinking about him, but wanting him to completely solve this sequelae, it was always a heart disease!
Righteous thoughts of Sha Wuseng, Sha Wuseng came to him: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss my brother very much, I came to see you!"
"Don't get close to me, do you want to come to me to eat?" Zhang Qing regretted how he could think about Sha Wuseng just now, this thought came true!
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I've already eaten at noon!" said Sha Wuseng.
"Hmph! It's half past six in the evening, it's time for dinner!" Zhang Qing snorted, it's over, this old way is here to eat mixed rice!
"Okay, then I'll barely eat a little at your place!Is there any beer?," Sha Wuseng asked very cheekily.
"The surname is Sha, can you be more shameless? There is no beer, you have to eat it and buy it yourself!" Zhang Qing exclaimed in annoyance.
"Immeasurable Buddha, junior brother, the foolish brother is shy in his pocket, and he has no silver taels, can you donate some of them?" Sha Wuseng still asked tepidly, not knowing what shamelessness was?
"Don't you have a salary?" Zhang Qing said angrily.
"Alas, brother, today I had a discussion with a benefactor, and it was so unfortunate that I lost my job as a sweeper. Even the salary of more than half a month has been deducted!" Sha Wuseng said with regret on his face.
"Huh, what did you do to that benefactor?"
"I don't know! Anyway, when I was driven away, they called an ambulance, in fact, I didn't use much force, but after I recently had a mantra, the first level of cultivation of the exercises was completed, and I was really very careful to slap it, and he just lay on his stomach and didn't move, what a sin!" Sha Wuseng said very aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I still have fifty yuan here, take it! Buy whatever you like, finish eating, get out of here! It's okay to be with you!" Zhang Qing took out fifty yuan and stuffed it to Sha Wuseng.
"Oh no, junior brother, I won't leave tonight, the mountain gate has been destroyed, my job has been resigned, and even the place where I live has been taken back!"
"Ah, you're still on it, I'm in the same bed, and I'm not used to sleeping with anyone else!"
"It's okay, I just need a place to meditate!"
“……”
……
"Hiccup! I'm drinking wine and eating meat now, greedy for worldly things, and my Taoist heart is unstable! I'm all depraved with you! Good and good!" Sha Wuseng ate with a mouth full of oil, and actually sighed.
"I've never seen you so skinless and faceless, I invited you here? No wonder your Taoist temple was struck by lightning, just because people like you live in it!" Zhang Qing also said as he sipped his beer, and now he was used to Sha Wuseng's shameless behavior.
"That's the will of heaven! Without that lightning strike, I wouldn't have met you, let alone opened the Three Treasures of Zhenguan, you see, in order to open the Three Treasures of Zhenguan, Senior Brother I have no regrets when I was struck by lightning!" Sha Wuseng put on a look of sacrificing his life for righteousness, and opened another bottle of beer.
"Isn't it the Demon Plate and the Nine Turns Golden Pill!Where did the third treasure come from?" Zhang Qing asked differently.
In fact, there is only one exercise that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is still incomplete, and there is no mantra for cultivation, so now I am waiting for you to transcribe the complete exercises and mantras, so the three treasures of Zhenguan are now all on you alone! I have to watch you in this life, you are the hope of reviving the Demon Suppression Temple!" Sha Wuseng said with his eyes shining.
"Hey, Master, wake up, now it's a market economy, and you need money for everything! Your so-called Three Treasures of Zhenguan can't be converted into economic benefits, what's the use? You can't even eat now, let's talk about it, what do you plan to do in the future?" Zhang Qing said disdainfully.
"In the future, of course, it is to rebuild the concept of subduing demons and carry forward the concept of subduing demons!" and then ......" Sha Wuseng replied with his head held high.
"Say something reliable!" Zhang Qing immediately interrupted Sha Wuseng's boundless ambition!
"Reliable? I haven't thought about it yet, I guess I'll have to find a job first, alas! Now people who read physiognomy, fortune telling, ask for doctors, and ask for children are not enthusiastic, and I can't give full play to my skills! I'm always being troubled by the chengguan!" Sha Wuseng said very depressedly.
"That's all the work of charlatans! Who believes it?" Zhang Qing reprimanded.
"Hey, if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't. Is that a good thing that has been passed down from generation to generation from ancient times to the present day? I think back then, even the emperor asked our master of the Demon Suppression Temple to tell fortunes, speculate on good fortune and evil, and was also named a national teacher!"
"Now that there is no emperor, the world is full of people, you still have to think about how to make money and eat enough!"
"Oh! Let me think again!"
Sha Wuseng's expression was gloomy, in the past two months, in order to rebuild the Demon Temple, he has run a lot of departments, from full of hope to discouragement, people are simply perfunctory, a dilapidated small Taoist temple, there is no influence at all, and there is no value worth rebuilding, the key is that there is no money! He has already taken care of him very well by arranging him to the Cultural Affairs Bureau, although he is only a temporary worker. I didn't expect that even the sweeping work is lost now......
……
Sha Wuseng was most concerned about the Demon Plate in Zhang Qing's body, and he was asking about the situation of the Demon Plate all night: "Senior brother, why hasn't there been any progress at all?
"How do I know! I still want to ask you, I still often get dizzy now, and I feel like my spirit has been drained away, I have to sleep to get better, you say that if I go on like this, will I lose my life?" Zhang Qing asked with some worry.
"Well, it's not a disease, but it has to be cured!" Sha Wuseng said with great certainty.
"Ah, it's not a disease, you can cure a fart!" Zhang Qing almost blasted out this old thief when he heard it.
"Listen to me, everything has a spirit, this demon plate is a spiritual thing, it is also alive, it must absorb nutrients, the nutrition contained in your mortal body must not meet the needs of the demon plate, this is the reason why the demon disk has not recovered at all for so long!
"Eh, old man, master, immortal chief, senior brother, you have an idea, I'm not married yet......" The person who said it may be nonsense, but the person who listens to it is cold, although life is not very satisfactory, but I don't want to braid, not to mention, this has just changed.
"Senior brother, don't be afraid! I'm just guessing! Here, this is the 'Pure Heart Sutra', you run it according to the method I said, it's very simple......" Sha Wuseng took out a booklet that was a bit like an antique, a bit similar to the Rulai Divine Palm in the movie 'Kung Fu'. It makes people doubt its authenticity.
"Division...... Brother, that's what you're practicing?" Zhang Qing asked cautiously.
"No, I'm practicing the 'Demon Heart Sutra', it's much more powerful than this! But this is the foundation, and if you practice it, you can not only prolong your life, but also strengthen your muscles and bones...... " Sha Wuseng said with his head asked.
"How do I sound a bit like a Tai Chi pusher? It seems to be said that it can prolong life, strengthen muscles and bones......" Zhang Qing sounded familiar.
"Hmm, no, no, no, no, I'm much stronger than any Tai Chi pusher, not only to calm your mind, but also to warm your mental power, practice to the end of the mind is clear, the heart is like stopping water, everything can see through the essence, calmly faced, is the supreme treasure of my Taoist cultivation......" Sha Wuseng shook his head and said a lot, Zhang Qing felt that this guy's eloquence was very suitable for setting up a stall.
"Division...... Elder brother...... I'm supposed to live at most, at least a few more years, so you won't do this exercise right away, right?"
"Hurry up and meditate with me, then close your eyes and meditate, put aside distracting thoughts, start from your heart, and make your dantian ......"
In fact, this set of 'Pure Heart Sutra' taught by Sha Wuseng is not simple to practice, it is very complicated, but Zhang Qing can barely run it after practicing it a few times, which makes Sha Wuseng very surprised, and Zhang Qing is also a little surprised, as if his body is automatically following the exercises......
The "Qingxin Sutra" is still very effective, and the problem of dizziness has never appeared again, but Zhang Qing can't calm down, because there is an extra mouth in the store, and the cost has risen sharply, and this mouth claims to eat twice as much as ordinary people, but according to Zhang Qing's calculations, the amount of food in this house is 2.5 times that of ordinary people......
