Chapter 140: Golden Cicada's Three-Day Tour
It was another rainless day in Jincian Mountain, and the originally lush forest had become a little yellow due to the lack of water.
Ikyu calculated a little that from the middle of last month to today, it has been nearly half a month, including the seven small cities near Rock Fire City, and it has not rained.
And Ichiyu learned through Yifeng of Mary Trading House that there was even a situation where there was no rain in January farther away.
This situation is almost certainly a precursor to a major drought.
Once the "big drought" really appeared, the first thing to worry about was the tenants who depended on the weather for food.
Because of the strange farming system in Atlantis, the rice that should have been harvested in winter has not yet been harvested in large areas.
There are still large tracts of rice that have not yet grown, mainly because the sowing time is too late, and Yixiu muttered in his heart, aren't they afraid that if the weather turns cold, the rice in the crops will be destroyed?
At first, I didn't understand it, so I went out of my way to find out what was going on with the rice in this world.
As a result, he found that although rice is also called rice, these rice on the continent of Atlantis have strong cold resistance and can grow in a space environment of minus 10 degrees.
Because of this characteristic, rice in this world is particularly afraid of drought, as long as the drought causes not only the rice to grow badly, but also may die in patches.
Under these circumstances, many tenant farmers spontaneously reported the situation to the nobles, who, according to the custom of previous years, should have been busy in the city at this time.
Strangely, however, many nobles ordered their tenant farmers not to harvest rice, on the grounds that a certain priest had predicted that a heavy rain would fall in the area in a few days, easing the precursor to the drought.
Many people may believe it, but Ichishu will not believe in this evil, not to mention that the drought is not terrible, the most terrible thing is that the locusts hiding in the mountains have now begun to grow in groups because of the drought.
Ikyu knew the horror of the locusts, and in his spare time in the past half a month, he did not work hard to persuade the farmers who came to the temple to make incense, so that they could harvest their fields as soon as possible.
But after all, Yixiu's reputation is still not high enough, and what he said is convincing among hundreds of people, and it is still a drop in the bucket to keep up with the large team of tens of thousands of cultivators.
The more he thought about taking a break, the more irritable he felt, so he paced slowly in the meditation room, picked up the PHS he had placed on the side of the offering table, and dialed Yifeng's phone.
The phone call lasted for ten minutes, and after a break, I hung up the phone with some unfinished business.
Then, there was a knock on the door of the house, and the female apprentice Wujing carried the copper basin, pushed open the door, and walked in from outside.
"It's coming~", Yixiu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, teacher", Wujing was rarely well-behaved, looked at Yixiu with a little red cheeks, and said timidly.
Then, Ikyu walked to the bedside, and Wujing put the copper plate on the table next to the bed by himself, and put his pink jade hand into the copper plate filled with water, wringed out the wet towel in the basin, and then respectfully handed it to Ikyu.
Ikkyu nodded with satisfaction, wiped his face, washed, and changed into his robe, and then took the lead and walked straight out of the meditation room, and Gojo followed Ikyu quietly.
At the same time, Six Hearts had also finished washing, and Wukong, the leather child, also walked out of her room.
As a result, the four people just met, six hearts folded their hands, took a step back, and walked in the forefront of this line of people in a second to understand that they were one step ahead.
I didn't go far, and I saw ten people in front of the Buddha hall looking at them curiously.
These ten people were the examiners who stayed in the temple, and when he saw that they were all full of red light and full of energy, he knew that he must have drunk the three drops of holy water that he had given them.
As for why Yixiu dared to be sure that they must have drunk it, it was because he knew that these three drops of holy water were impossible, and they could not be brought out of the Golden Cicada Temple.
Because after taking it out, it will inevitably cause them huge trouble, so in this case, it is better to swallow it in the stomach, and it will be more real.
However, he didn't want to waste time asking them what the effect of drinking the holy water was, so he bowed to them silently and walked straight into the Buddhist hall.
At this moment, the renovated Buddha hall has begun to take shape, and the bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha produced by the system is still solemnly sitting on the high platform in the hall, looking down on all living beings.
Under the high platform is the offering case, and behind the offering table are two large, two middle and ten small, a total of 14 futons.
Ikyu and Liuxin naturally sat on the two big futons at the front, while Wukong and Gojing just sat on the two smaller futons behind them.
Of the remaining ten futons, one for each tester.
As the top pig in the overall score, Martin Gordon of course sat in a relatively high position, while William Warner, who was out of the limelight, secretly sat on a futon at the very edge.
These people didn't send Wukong to teach them any rules in the early stage, and they didn't know that Ikyu and his party got up to do morning classes.
In this case, many people can only follow the same example, and when they see Ikyu and others sitting down, they also learn to sit on the futon.
Subsequently, Ikkyu began to take the lead in reciting the "Great Compassion Mantra" and other morning classes that must recite scriptures.
Because these verses are so obscure, many people still read them at first, but they feel that they can't keep up with them, and even more feel very boring.
Only the third pig, Martin Gordon, a husband, and two twins, although they stumbled over the reading, they are still trying their best to read along.
In comparison, the eyes of the remaining five people, not looking, this is looking at that, obviously lacking a certain amount of patience, these are all remembered in their hearts.
After the morning class, Wukong and Wujing didn't need to take a break to say hello, so they consciously went to the Luohan Hall to practice.
And Six Hearts and Ikyu came to the temple hall with ten trialists.
By the time they arrived, the aroma of fragrant white rice and a few side dishes wafted through the noses of everyone who had entered the window.
"Master, you're finally here", Joe Navarro was wiping his sweat with a towel on his shoulder, but when he saw that Ikyu was actually here, he hurriedly ran to Ikyu in three steps and two steps, and said happily.
This Joe Navarro is Joe Jiji's father, some time ago the couple said goodbye, it is said that they went to other cities to find relatives, but the relatives were not found, so they could only come back to see their son.
It's not a long time, just a few days ago, Yixiu didn't think much about it, at that time, Yixiu looked at the little apprentice looking at himself, and he was embarrassed to let the two couples go, originally because the Golden Cicada Temple was poor and white, they didn't let them stay, and now the Golden Cicada Temple can't lack the rations of the old couple.
So, Yixiu made the decision to keep them and let them be responsible for eating in the dining hall, and they usually had wages and subsidies, and the couple happily agreed.
So,I'm still quite satisfied with this breakfast.,After all, I'm a young man who feeds himself by takeout.,Six hearts are also the existence of a big guy in Tianlong Babu.,Naturally, there are special people to make it for him.,Wukong learned a little.,But Yixiu still feels very unappetizing when he eats.。
The female apprentice Wujing was a noble lady before, her ten fingers did not touch the spring water, she dared to cook, and Yixiu did not dare to eat.
So with Wukong's father's meal, this meal is still more comfortable for Yixiu, and when eating, Yixiu still doesn't forget to observe the reactions of these ten assessors to the meal.
He found that this husband was a rice bucket at all, and after eating a bowl of rice, he ate more than a dozen bowls, and ate half a bucket of rice.
While eating, Kazuo also chatted with Martin Gordon, who was sitting next to him and eating very elegantly.
"Oh, Grandma~ This meal is delicious, brother, do you know? I feel like today is the only time I've ever eaten a full meal in my life. ”
Poof~ Martin Gordon just took a sip of soup with a rice spoon and drank half a mouthful, when he heard Kazuo's words, he squirted out directly, his eyes widened, and he glanced at the stack of rice bowls piled up like a mountain in front of Kazuo, and said with some surprise.
"Haven't you eaten enough before?"
"Yes, yes, I have a lot of food, my father and my mother, and they always dislike me, saying that it is because of my amount of food that the family is poor", a husband is still stuffing food into his mouth, stuffing his mouth bulging.
The two of them were talking in a whisper, and Liuxin suddenly stopped the chopsticks in his hand and whispered to Yixiu.
"Abbot, this husband is also a talent, if you have the opportunity, you can enter the Luohan Hall. ”
"Why did Senior Brother say this?", Yixiu didn't know if it was okay to ask.
Liuxin looked at Ikyu very sincerely, and replied seriously, "He eats a lot!!"
Yixiu secretly rolled his eyes, unable to figure out what his senior brother thought, this meal was eaten a lot, wasn't it a loss-making deal that was recruited, how could Liuxin still treat it as a treasure? Yixiu couldn't figure it out and just nodded silently.
After another ten minutes, the meal was basically finished, and Yixiu walked in the direction of Luohan Hall with his group.
Next, Ikyu has arranged a good show and is waiting for these people to watch the nickname!!
And the next destination of the group is Luohan Hall~
