Chapter 40: The Founding of the Mountain
At the same time that Qiao Ya was trying to brush up her reputation in Heishui County, Jingxu and Poyang Dao Chang also came to Fengcheng County.
This Fengcheng is just a name, not really a city, Fengcheng County is not far from Heishui County, but there is no official road in the middle, and there are three mountains and a mountain stream across it.
Ordinary people go back and forth to Fengcheng County, but they are afraid that it will take half a month, but Jingxu and they only took a little more than a day to get to Fengcheng County, and it only takes three days to count the return trip.
It's just that they can't really return to Heishui County in three days, after all, they still have to go to a few places to buy materials for building houses, and it will take at least half a month to go back. In terms of time, it responds to the speed of ordinary people.
The silver ticket was changed by the chief of Poyang Dao, he changed into a regular clothes, dressed as a businessman, and when he went to exchange it, he said that all of them had to be cash, and the people of Yinzhuang were shocked.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver are all raised, and they only need cash silver, so this shouldn't be some kind of opponent to suppress themselves, right? But the silver ticket given by the other party was not wrong, and the other party said that he was going to buy wood to build a house, and asked the counter where there was a wood yard, so the people from Yinzhuang dispelled their suspicions.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver naturally could not be redeemed in one day, and Yinzhuang was given a few days to prepare, and the Taoist chief of Poyang began to visit Jingxu everywhere to find the good and cheap wood farm.
When the Kiba side made a decision, the silver from the Ginzhuang side was also delivered. The owner of the inn was very frightened, for fear that so much silver would attract thieves and cause his family's reputation to decline. Therefore, he cautiously assigned a new lock to the Poyang Daoist, and the key was all taught to the Poyang Daoist to show his innocence.
In fact, where does Poyang Dao Chang care about what key is not keyed, as soon as the silver is sent into the inn, it is collected by Jingxu and him into the space props. The chests placed outside were all empty, and even if a thief came, he would not find a single ingot of silver.
But in front of outsiders, they still locked the door every day when they went out, and then came back until it was almost night.
After a few days of running, Poyang Daochang lost a lot of weight, but his face was full of red light. Because she's in a hurry, she's often using teleportation, and her ability has reached level two. She could clearly feel that the ability in her body was abnormally sufficient, but she didn't know how to use it, so she could only temporarily stabilize the mana in her body first, and then ask her uncle what to do when she returned to Heishui County.
In the end, almost the entire Jinxi Road was run around by them, and the amount of timber was enough.
"Why don't we go back first, these are enough for the work, and if we need it in the future, new wood will be made here."
Jingxu felt that Poyang Dao Chief's suggestion was good, so the two of them took the box and went back to Heishui County. Before entering the gate of the county seat, the two were preparing to say goodbye in the post station teahouse outside Heishui County, when they heard someone talking in the teahouse and mentioning Qingchu Zhenren.
Jingxu and Poyang glanced at each other, sat back silently, and listened quietly.
"Is that true?"
"What did I lie to you? That Qingchu Zhenren frequently sent miracles, but she even saved the dead. Now the people of Heishui County are all convinced by her and call her a living immortal. Even the Qin family, the Chu family, and the Bai family, also respected her as a guest. On the fiftieth birthday of the old lady of the Qin family, she was invited to be a guest. β
"But you and I are both white ding, she has such a high status, how can she be willing to see us?"
"It doesn't matter, I inquired about it, there is an apprentice named Changying under her seat, this person is kind and pure, and he pities the poor the most. Although that Qingchu real person has the ability, he is also a child. Whoever she sees and treats on weekdays is arranged by her eldest apprentice, Changying Nuguan. β
"So, we have to do something else about this Changying female crown?"
"It must cost some silver, but for my aunt's illness, this amount of silver is nothing."
Hearing this, Jing Xu sighed in her heart, when did Changying have such a high status? The words in and out of these mouths mean that Uncle Shi listens to Changying's words?
Poyang Daoist was calm, he knocked lightly on the table, coughed dryly, pulled back his quiet thoughts, and then whispered: "Don't panic, what kind of person is the teacher, others don't know, you don't understand yet?" β
Jingxu was annoyed for a while, how could she forget that her uncle was not as naΓ―ve as her actual age. But she was still worried, after all, no matter how precocious she was, she was still a child.
If she knew that Uncle Shi was actually an old monster who had lived for nearly three hundred years, she was afraid that she would have farted if she had been one of these people earlier.
"I'll go first." Jingxu got up and dropped a sentence and hurriedly left the post station. She didn't enter the city, but only turned onto the mountain road on the path outside the city, and dodged into the grove when others were not paying attention, and then she turned into a light and shadow and returned to Nie Yunguan.
Jingxu ran all the way with a gust of wind, and everyone only thought it was windy, and they didn't suspect it. She returned to the gate of Ningzhi Courtyard and stopped.
No one is allowed to make noise within a hundred steps outside the courtyard, so the corner door behind the temple is closed all the year round, and Jingxu stops at this moment, but he is not afraid of being seen.
She quietly came to the door of Ningzhi Courtyard, and was just about to reach out and knock on the door, when she heard someone inside: "The real person is very good, but why only accept children in distress as apprentices, can't the children of serious people?" β
Then Qiao Ya's voice came out: "It's not impossible, it's just that the concept of hierarchy is different, and it's easy to form small groups." This is a big taboo for spiritual practice, and it will also bring trouble to the teacher. If I want to start a mountain and establish a sect, I naturally need to have a group of disciples who are stable and will not cause conflicts.
"Street children have suffered, and if they can have such an opportunity, they will naturally cherish it, and children from serious families may not only cherish this opportunity, but also feel that it is quite difficult to become a monk and practice, and they will cause trouble everywhere if they don't cultivate well."
Fang Cai's voice seemed to sound a little regretful: "The real person's words are very true, I was abrupt." β
Qiao Ya said again: "Mrs. Murong doesn't have to blame herself, I know what you are doing. It's just that the girl in Dieyi is only four years old, and Mrs. Xiao regards her as the pearl in the palm of her hand, you have the heart to send her to become a monk, but you forgot to ask Mrs. Xiao and the girl in Dieyi what they mean. If you don't practice this with sincerity, it's hard to persevere. β
Jing Xu was surprised in her heart, Mrs. Murong was not the daughter-in-law of Qin Mugong? Although she is also a foreigner from the capital, she was also a noble daughter before, so she naturally knew the name of Qin Mugong and several female relatives of the Qin family.
I really didn't expect that after only half a month, Uncle Shi was already close to the Qin family. It's just that how did she listen to her uncle's meaning, and her uncle was going to open a mountain and establish a faction to accept apprentices?
