Chapter 12 The Economic Crisis
Thinking of this, Qin Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Master, I don't know what grade of mental method this Immortal Golden Body Technique is, is it a Heavenly Rank Upper Grade?"
However, Lin Tingzhi's answer was completely beyond Qin Sheng's expectations: "No, it is the Xuan-level Spiritual Method. ”
"How can this be?" Qin Sheng was dumbfounded.
The martial arts of the world are divided into four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang according to their strength, and each level has three grades.
After listening to Fang Cai Lin Tingzhi's description, this Immortal Golden Body Technique was definitely the strongest Soul Technique that Qin Sheng had ever heard, and there was no one. But how can it be so low-grade?
Not to mention that the martial arts and mental techniques given by Lin Tingzhi were all mid-level grades, even the secret techniques in the army that Qin Sheng originally practiced had also reached the top grade of the Xuan Rank, could it be said that this seemingly powerful Immortal Golden Body Technique was far inferior to this?
Knowing that Qin Sheng would be confused, Lin Tingzhi explained with a smile: "Xiao Sheng, don't be surprised, this grade is not the other grade. Because the secret of the Immortal Golden Body Secret has never been spread, there is no grade of this mental method on the rivers and lakes. This Xuanjie inferior grade is actually the standard set by the Holy Sword of Mercy. This standard is obviously much higher than what we usually use, and if it is changed to the Spirit Snake Sword Technique, I am afraid that we are not qualified to be ranked by the Holy Sword. ”
"I see. Qin Sheng immediately understood. When he looked at the small sword on his chest, his eyes were extremely hot.
The Xuan-level Spiritual Method, if it is the Ground Rank set by the Holy Sword, or even the Heavenly Rank Mental Method, how strong will it be?
Of course, Qin Sheng himself was unwilling to gamble on that ethereal fate and personally enter the Holy Sword to obtain a randomly assigned mental method, but he would not be stingy with his blood.
When Lin Tingzhi dictated the various medicinal materials needed, Qin Sheng was not idle, and smeared his blood on the sword body of the Holy Sword little by little, hoping to open the second door of the Holy Sword as soon as possible.
Like last time, it was still Lin Tingzhi's dictation, and Qin Sheng relayed it to Ling'er through his mouth, and then Ling'er recorded all the medicinal materials and amounts needed.
"Aster grass, six taels; Rhodiola rosea, seven catties and two taels; water cranberry, six taels; sea golden sand, one catty and five taels; nine heart begonia leaves, one tael; sandalwood blood vine ginseng, three catties and nine taels ......"
I didn't write a few, whether it was Ling'er who was concentrating on recording, or Qin Sheng, who was a little absent-minded, they all felt a little panicked.
Although Qin Sheng didn't know much about the price of medicinal materials, he still knew that the price was very high, and the amount of medicinal materials recorded this time was ten times more than last time.
Without waiting for Ling'er to finish writing, Qin Sheng had already determined that with his current pitiful private money, he would definitely not be able to afford these medicinal materials. Not to mention buying them all, even if you only buy a small half, I'm afraid it's still a big difference.
"Master, do you need so many medicinal herbs this time, can you exchange them for some cheap ones, or use them less?" Qin Sheng asked with a sad face.
"What's the matter, you don't have enough money?" Lin Tingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't work to change the medicinal materials, although I can barely change a few cheap medicinal materials, but the medicinal effect will be much worse, and in fact, it is not much cheaper." However, these are your five-day supply, so you don't have to buy them all at once. Xiaosheng, how much money do you have now?"
Qin Sheng himself didn't know much about his specific net worth, so he turned around and asked Ling'er, and the answer he got was that there were three hundred and seventy-four taels of silver left.
This amount of money is not much, but it is not too little, and it is also a loss to Qin Sheng who ran a chain of restaurants with Master Kong for a while, although he was eventually robbed of the industry, but there is still a small amount of family foundation.
It's a pity that if this money is used to buy those medicinal materials, it is indeed a little less. According to Lin Tingzhi's memory, based on the price of more than ten years ago, I am afraid that the amount of two days of purchase is not enough.
In desperation, Qin Sheng had no choice but to let Ling'er buy it first, and then talk about how much money she had. And he himself went to his uncle Qin Rushan to see if he could ask for more money.
There was still some distance from the uncle's room, and Qin Sheng heard the voice of the third uncle Qin Rusong coming from afar.
"Big brother, even if Xiao Sheng has made progress again, he is only a fourth-order martial artist! Let him go to fight in the life and death ring with that Pu Yong, who is only one step away from reaching the warrior realm, where can he have a little way to live?"
Qin Sheng slowed down, and then heard the third uncle continue: "Big brother, the three-move appointment between Xiaosheng and Shi Yifei before really can't be avoided, and he always has a glimmer of life, so I just put up with it." But now, are we going to watch Xiao Sheng go to his death? Big brother, I really don't understand, why didn't you say anything to stop it at that time?"
The room was quiet for a moment, only to hear Qin Rushan speak: "Rusong, is it possible that if something happens to Xiaosheng, I feel good in my heart?" It's just that if I had spoken out to stop it at that time, I am afraid that the Shi family would have thought of a way to invade this Baisheng Hou Mansion in the past two days, and then, in less than a month, my whole family would probably have to be driven back to our hometown to farm." And now, at least in a month......"
Before Qin Rushan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud "pop". Qin Sheng estimated that it should be the third uncle who slapped the table heavily.
I only heard Qin Rusong say angrily: "What's wrong with going back to your hometown to farm? Could it be that our Qin family has never farmed in the first place? Okay, I can't imagine that you are originally greedy for the prosperity and wealth of this Ziyang City, for such a house, you can even give up your nephew's life!"
Speaking of this, Qin Rusong slapped the table again and said loudly: "Big brother, even if you covet this glory and wealth, you should also think about who brought the wealth of the Qin family now?
"I know, I'm really sorry for my second brother. Qin Rushan's voice was a little bitter and a little tired, "It's just that as the head of the family, I can't think about just one small victory......
Qin Rusong immediately interrupted: "Could it be that for the sake of everyone's dignity and wealth, we don't care about Xiao Sheng's life? Moreover, even if we watch Xiao Sheng go to his death, can we definitely save this Baisheng Mansion?"
Speaking of this, Qin Rusong's voice softened slightly, "Big brother, in my opinion, the Qin family is like this now, this Hou Mansion Mansion will not be able to be saved sooner or later, it is better to just get rid of it as soon as possible, our whole family will go back to the countryside to farm, this day is better than thirty years ago, right?"
Hearing the third uncle's words, Qin Sheng couldn't help but nod secretly. This is not for himself, in fact, if he was not of low rank, he would have wanted to suggest this a long time ago.
Instead of holding on in Ziyang City and waiting for all the heroes to swallow the essence one by one, it is better to directly throw away face and simply return to the countryside, as if the family had never had Qin Ruhai.
In this way, it seems humiliating and miserable, but in fact, it retains some vitality for the family, so as to leave some capital for a comeback. Moreover, even if the Qin family never has any hope of reviving, it is better to live so peacefully than to be afraid all day long now, and will be bullied at any time, right?
He really couldn't understand why the uncle insisted on staying in Ziyang City, preferring to be cut by a blunt knife and tossed to death little by little.
I only heard the uncle smile bitterly: "Rusong, do you think I am really dying to save face? I am doing this for the spirit card of the ancestors of the Qin family." ”
Qin Sheng was shocked in his heart, but when he heard the third uncle, he immediately asked, "Big brother, what do you say?" Could it be the Li family's ......?"
"That's right, it's the Li family! Rusong, do you know that I went to the Zongmiao before, wanting to retrieve the spirit cards of the Qin family, but Li Jinghan actually moved out of the Dashun Law, saying that I was not qualified to re-enter the Zongmiao, and I refused to let go at all if I begged for permission! And now, we occupy this Hou Mansion, and we can still have a Ziyang City household registration, and half a year later, at the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, we can still guard outside the Zongmiao, waiting for the Qin family's ancestral spirit card to be thrown out. If we go back to the countryside now, then we will be under the Nine Springs, and I am afraid that it will not only be your second brother who will not be able to see each other!"
After Qin Rushan finished speaking, there was silence in the room. And Qin Sheng, who was outside the door, also set off monstrous waves in his heart.
He really couldn't imagine that the Li family was so yin this time, and this move of theirs really captured the key point of the Qin family!
Whether in the past life or in the present life, the spirit card of the ancestors is extremely valued by people. And in this world, this notion is especially pronounced. For a family, the most important thing is definitely the spirit card of the ancestors of the past generations!
At that time, Qin Ruhai rose strongly and revitalized the entire family with the power of one person, and his greatest contribution to the family was to make the ancestors of the Qin family eligible to be included in the imperial temple and accept the incense worship of the whole country in Dashun.
This kind of supreme glory makes the Qin family radiant, and they can hold their heads higher when they walk on the road. It's just that no one expected that the Qin family would have today!
According to the law of Dashun, the Qin family is no longer eligible to enjoy the worship of the temple, and it stands to reason that the clansmen should retrieve the ancestral spirit card from the temple. However, the problem is that after the loss of Qin Ruhai, the Qin family, a pseudo-wealthy family supported by only one person, there is no one in the entire family who has a knighthood, and no one has reached the stage of martial arts.
Therefore, according to the law, there is indeed no one in the Qin family who is qualified to step into the temple.
Because of this, the Qin family could only be stopped outside the temple with their eyes in their eyes, until the next ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, the spirit cards of the ancestors and ancestors were thrown out of the temple like garbage one by one!
Such a special situation is the first time in the history of Dashun.
After all, other wealthy families who can be qualified to enjoy the worship of the temple, even if they decay one day and are disqualified, it will not suddenly be impossible to find even a clansman who is qualified to enter the temple.
In fact, if the temple can be a little accommodating, let the Qin family send someone in to get the spirit card and come out, or simply take out the tablet in advance and hand it over to the Qin family outside the temple, it is acceptable.
But on the contrary, Li Jinghan, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who is now in charge of the affairs of the Zongmiao, was one of Qin Ruhai's rivals back then, and after losing the competition, he always held a grudge against him.
