Chapter 16: Killing a Hundred Flowers
When Fang Zi finished writing, all the people left. In the empty Ming Hall, Xintianyou leaned lazily on the Taishi chair, and finally took a sip of fragrant tea.
Fortunately, it's clear tea.
History has regressed and has not been restored to true antiquity. Otherwise, like the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the tea leaves were ground into powder, and ginger, garlic, onions, and salt were added for decoction, and the taste was so heavy that it was really unbearable.
Xintianyou felt that it should not be called tea at all, but a mixture between vegetable soup and medicinal juice.
Dong Zhong and Dong Shumin led the housekeeper and three graceful maids to walk in.
The three maids each carry a tray covered with bright red silk. The contents of the plate were visibly heavy, and their knuckles were clenched a little white.
Dangdangdang......
Dong Shumin jumped forward lightly, hummed proudly in her mouth, and raised her arms exaggeratedly to uncover the red silk cloth.
The golden light is dazzling, and the room is full of brilliance.
Ten gold ingots appeared on each tray, round and bulging, golden, shining, and lovely. One ingot is ten taels, ten ingots are one hundred taels, and three sets are a total of three hundred taels.
According to the price of one gold and ten silver, three hundred taels of gold is equivalent to three thousand taels of silver, and you can buy a good mansion and two or three small shops in the county town. As long as you don't spend a lot of time drinking, ordinary people can comfortably take it for a lifetime.
The shot is really generous, but it is not much for the head of a dignified county, and it is even a little shabby.
You don't hear it, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. In order to treat Mrs. Dong's illness, the county guard has spent far more than this amount of money on decoction and medicine in the past ten years.
However, gold is very rare and largely does not appear in circulation. The county guard collected everything, and it was only more than three hundred taels. If you replace it with three thousand taels of silver, it will be a big and heavy pile, how can people carry it?
Spirit stones are light and more valuable than gold. It's a pity that it belongs to the monks, and there are only a few shoddy goods in the Dong Mansion. In the face of the unfathomable immortal master, how to get it?
Today, there are many small countries, divided by one side, each minting its own copper coin. Gold and silver are hard currencies, "international currencies".
Financial instruments such as silver bills, banknotes, and credit certificates have not yet appeared. Even if a smart person invents paper money on a whim, there is no way to promote it without unified and stable political protection.
Dong Jun Shou thought about it, and after asking his daughter again and again, he still felt that it was most appropriate to donate gold. Jewelry, jade, antiques or something, people may not like it.
Xintianyou sat still and asked, what does this mean?
Dong Shumin's eyes widened in surprise, and shouted, "Diagnosis gold, your favorite."
Dong Zhong thought that the young man was thin-skinned and explained with a smile.
"I'm sorry, a little bit, I mean...... The believer is high and bright, and the pot is hung to help the world, of course, he does not ask for anything in return. However, in order to save Jing, the immortal medicine was consumed, and Dong still had to pay for the decoction. ”
Xintianyou shook his head and said:
"I can't sell the entire county guard mansion with that drop of my medicine. Take the things away, I don't want them. ”
Dong Zhong said busily:
"Oh, how can that work? If outsiders know, don't you scold Dong for being a white-eyed wolf? Believer, three hundred taels of gold are indeed floating lightly, and I also have some jewels and jade antiques stored in my house......"
Dong Zhong put down his official frame and changed "Little Immortal Master" to "Faith Master" without a trace. The attitude is respectful, and the words reveal a sense of intimacy.
As for "don't pay for a consultation", the ghost believes it!
From the small slang to the big throne, they all competed for the bloody blood. Obviously, he thought about it in his heart, but he repeatedly shirked in his mouth, and finally seemed to accept it reluctantly.
Xintianyou became impatient, and his face was blank, which accentuated his tone.
"Don't you understand what's going on? I said no, don't! ”
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
He is not a gentleman, and he does lack money, but he has his own principles.
It would be troublesome not to search for the treasures of the stream. The reason why the temporary hexagram did not accept the consultation fee was because Miss Dong regarded him as a friend.
Does the mother of the treatment friend still charge money?
Dong Zhong was stunned for a moment, thinking, don't accept this, don't accept that, do you fall in love with Min'er? But looking at the two of them, they talk unscrupulously and behave innocently, and they don't look like anything.
Dong Shumin didn't know that her father would think about simple things so complicated, so she asked happily:
"Xiaotian, tell me yourself, how should you thank you? If I don't say anything at all, my mother will know about it, and she will scold me for three days. ”
Xintianyou nodded and said, Okay, then invite me to a meal.
Eat a meal? It's so easy to do.
Originally, a sumptuous luncheon was prepared for Doctor Xue and his entourage, and the ingredients of the recipe were ready-made.
Ten minutes later, the crowd came to the banquet room.
Xintianyou washed his hands clean, and resolutely refused to let the Dong family's father and daughter accompany him, nor did he refuse to let the servants wait.
Dong Zhong was stunned.
What kind of custom is it that the host is courteous and the guest insists on driving the host away from the banquet and staying alone to eat alone?
Miss Dong Bingxue was smart, and immediately pulled her father away, explaining in a mess.
"Dad, you're in charge. Xiaotian is a little particular about eating, small rules. When I first met him on the road, I saw that he didn't even eat salted fish, and he drank mushroom soup violently......"
In fact, Dong Shu is sensitive to Xintianyou's strange requirements and understands them very well.
She often participates in the banquets of noble ladies and celebrities, and in order to maintain the image of Juanjuan lady, she has to face the dazzling array of delicacies and delicacies of the mountains and seas in a daze, and she has never eaten enough. At that time, I often hated to think that if I could use a spell to make everyone disappear, I could eat it happily.
Hearing his daughter's explanation, Dong Zhong thought he understood.
What can a young man in the mountains be so exquisite? It's just that it doesn't look good, and of course I don't want to be watched.
He cleared his throat and asked as he walked.
"Min'er, you went early yesterday morning, and came back at noon today, so you can tell your father the details. The arrester has already set off to investigate the scene, and there are many doubts in Zhao Jia's report. What exactly did you encounter in Yunshan? Why didn't a gust of wind carry his men with him, die alone, and not run away? Why did Xi Qianli give up his life to fight? I see that he is usually quite sleek, not like a generous and strong man. Where did you meet the believer, who did not ...... with a gust of wind?"
Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, Dong Shumin is most afraid that her father will ask this, and she will run away when she hears the words.
"Dad, I'm going to see if my mother woke up."
On the wide table of eight immortals, four plates of cold dishes and four dishes were placed, and the main dish had not yet been served.
Xintian wanders the eyes and nose, the nose looks at the heart, and enters a meditative state.
A pillar came to mind, almost identical to a mercury thermometer. From the bottom to the top, there are ten large scales, and each large scale contains ten small scales, a full 100 squares.
This is the energy progress pillar of the "Hundred Flowers Killing" cultivation, corresponding to the ten major realms of cultivation and one hundred small levels.
The pillar has ten large scales from the bottom to the top, corresponding to the monk's gathering qi, condensation, passage, enlightenment, turning pill, holy womb, out of the spirit, melting the body, crossing the tribulation, and ascending to the ten realms, that is, the murderous qi of the hundred flowers killing, killing the gang, killing the secluded, killing the light, killing the pill, killing the fetus, killing the god, killing the body, killing the robbery, and killing the ten realms of the sky.
The "mercury" in the pillar stays at the upper part of the ninth layer of the third major scale, which means that Xintianyou is currently at the peak of the ninth layer of the Killing Netherworld, and belongs to the invincible existence under the Enlightened Monk.
