Chapter 23: Just Give Money
Yu Chi Qinghong said affirmatively: "There is indeed something, if there is something beyond the norm in the fairy world, you can report it to the Fuji Pavilion, if it is verified, the Fuji Pavilion will come forward to uphold justice." The family teacher has heard and seen many times, the most famous one, is in a temple fair, an old man herding sheep did not pay attention to the sheep, the sheep poured into the crowd, immediately fell into chaos, the sheep fled in all directions, jumped on the offering table of a certain true god, knocked over the incense case, and ate melons, fruits, pears and peaches and other tributes. As a result, the true god was so angry that he led the water of the great river next to him to flood the entire street, killing and injuring countless people. When the Heavenly Court learned about it, it sent people to inquire, and the local Chenghuang Land was afraid of the divine power of the great god, and did not dare to tell the truth, but only said that the river dam was caused by the bursting of the embankment, and the matter was over. It just so happened that at the temple fair, there was a spiritual general with an upright temperament, and he gave the actual information to Fuji Pavilion. Within a few days, the great god was demoted to the mortal world and reincarnated ninety-nine and eighty-one times, all of them to make sheep and make meat and soup for people. This incident is well documented, and it caused quite a stir at the time, because the river turned, and some people still say that it was the work of the spirit. ”
"It's kind of interesting."
Yu Chi Qinghong saw that he was very interested in the affairs of the spirit general, so he took the opportunity to say: "Brother Chen, I know that you are very capable, are you interested in joining me as a spirit general, protecting the spirit domain in the clouds, and protecting the peace of the people in this city?" ”
Chu Xixi also put down the bowl and looked at him.
Chen Mushan immediately understood that he was talking so much to himself, and his feelings were to pull himself into the gang, looking at Chu Xixi and asking with a smile: "You two won't discuss it, right?" ”
Chu Xixi nodded: "This matter is beneficial to the common people, why not do it?" ”
"An impostor, a little girl, just wants to take care of the affairs of the common people, should I say that you are delusional, or do you say that you are full and have nothing to do?"
When Yu Chi Qinghong heard this, he was very embarrassed, Chu Xixi was used to his way of speaking, and he was not angry, but took out the dragon head jade pendant and put it on the table: "This is the pig demon, right?" ”
"What pig demon? Say anything, if you don't like it, give it back to me. ”
Chen Mushan stretched out his hand to take it, but Chu Xixi put it away with a smile: "Who said I don't like it." There are some things that I don't see, but that doesn't mean I don't feel them. I've lived in Guanli for more than 20 years, and the smell of that pig demon is all too familiar. The great demon that the master and the ancestor can't destroy for dozens of generations, as soon as you appear, there is nothing left. I don't know who you are, so I went into your house to see if you're a wolf or a tiger. ”
"Oh, so you're here to check on me." Chen Mushan couldn't hide his loss and said, "How about it, then am I a wolf or a tiger?" ”
Chu Xixi hesitated for a moment, and did not answer positively, but said: "You are obviously capable, why don't you help the world and do something more meaningful?" ”
"I'm just a layman, I like money and women, and the biggest goal in my life is to make a lot of money, support my woman, and marry my woman. You asked me to play for the intrigue people in this city, the people who chase fame and fortune, and the uncle doesn't have that kind of sentiment. ”
"And for me? If you are willing to contribute your strength, I will be your woman, live and die together. Chu Xixi said suddenly.
Chen Mushan suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter was full of pathos: "What a generous bodhisattva, you are very beautiful, but unfortunately, you are not beautiful to my heart, don't think so highly of yourself." Two bodhisattvas who save the suffering, are you full, please leave when you are full, my family will be a vulgar nest, don't dirty your holiness. ”
Wei Chi Qinghong didn't understand how things could suddenly turn out like this, he was in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to say.
"Are you angry that I treat love as a trade? You're mistaken, not what you think. You are not a monk, it is normal if you don't understand, and if you promise to be your woman, you are your woman, and your heart is also for you. Because if loving you is saving the people, then love must be true. Chu Xixi explained, she didn't know why she wanted to explain, and this explanation seemed a little far-fetched.
"I'm really fed up with being a monk, one by one, do you know what it means to be a monk?"
"How can you not understand, see through the red dust, and transcend the outside world." Chu Xixi replied casually.
"Bullshit, come, remember, becoming a monk is the third choice when facing life and death, not to choose life, nor to choose death, what you said is to see through the red dust, transcendent things, that is called work. I don't even understand this, and I put on a sympathetic look, I really don't want to scold you. Chen Mushan said very seriously.
Yu Chi Qinghong is stupid, Chu Xixi is also stupid, although Chen Mushan's short sentence is worth a thousand words in the scriptures, to the depths of his heart, which makes people feel empowered.
Chu Xixi is not a real monk, she just grew up in the Dao Gate since she was a child, and her thoughts and words are all learned from her master, and she is not really born from the heart. Master is dead and has no support, and that Dao heart may be the only consolation. After listening to Chen Mushan's words, she seemed to understand something, but what it was, vaguely and clearly, but one thing was certain, this man was by his side, and he would feel very safe.
"Have you eaten enough, have you eaten enough, and roll." Chen Mushan was really angry.
"I haven't eaten enough, I haven't eaten enough since I was a child." Chu Xixi stopped arguing, and after speaking, she continued to drink porridge quietly, no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Seeing her like this, Chen Mushan's heart softened again, and he couldn't help sighing.
"Brother Chen, if you don't want to forget it, it's just that if you need it in the future, can you ask for help?"
"It's no problem to help, just pay for it, and give it to your life." Chen Mushan said angrily.
"What? Give money? Yu Chi Qinghong was surprised.
"Nonsense, market economy, who will work for you if you don't have money."
Chen Mushan thought that he would hurt his feelings because of the money, so he gave up, but Wei Chi Qinghong slapped his thigh and said: "You said it earlier, you said it earlier, you said it earlier, as for wasting so many tongues." ”
Chen Mushan was dumbfounded: "Listen to what you mean, money is not a problem?" I'm asking for a high price. ”
"Hey, Brother Chen, you don't think that the spirit generals are all charlatans who walk the streets and alleys, right?"
"Don't say it, I really think so."
Yu Chi Qinghong laughed: "Brother Chen, the people who can be spiritual generals are all one in a million, which one is not a top talent." Remember when I told you that the spirit will complete the bounty task and get a good fortune? Do you know what you can exchange for? ”
"What can I get in exchange? Can you be a god?. ”
"Fortune can be exchanged for the blessings of any immortal in the immortal world. To put it as a very appropriate example, there are some spirit generals who may have caught a demon once in their lives, earned a few blessings, exchanged a day for the happiness of the gods, and everything was smooth on that day, or a good marriage or something from the old man, you know what I mean, right? There are also some that are more excessive, a blessing can increase the longevity of one day, and some spirits will be traded out through the black market, and bought to some Mr. Jianghu who specializes in changing the business of changing the sky, life is a valuable thing, how much do you say it is worth. Yu Chi Qinghong explained.
"Damn, your circle is so messy?"
"Not really, most of the bounty tasks in Fujitei are dangerous errands, and if you don't get it right, you will die, and people who chase fame and fortune take their lives very seriously, and they don't want to take that risk if they have that heart. Those who dare to take risks are the spirit generals who have pursuits, most of them are not rare fame and fortune, and the blessings they have earned are also given to the people, so that some good people really have good rewards, and the wicked people really have evil rewards, and promote the righteousness of heaven and earth, you can't deny that some people's sense of achievement comes from dedication. ”
"I'll admit it."
"Then you'll say yes?" Yu Chi Qinghong was very happy.
Chen Mushan hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes, yes, but not every job I take, I have to choose it myself, I don't want to give my life for nothing." ”
"That's natural, I still have some savings, I'll give it to you when I go back, not much, one hundred thousand, just as a deposit, you see how it is."
"Hundreds of thousands?" Chen Mushan was surprised, he didn't expect this guy to be so generous: "Don't mind, one yard is one yard, I'm greedy for money, but I'm also principled, your money is all obtained by deception, I don't want it." ”
Wei Chi Qinghong knew what he was referring to, there were some things that didn't need to be argued, action was the best explanation, and smiled: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you, it's not too early, and the little brother will leave." ”
"That's it? If I get it away again, I won't be able to save it. Chen Mushan's tone was very hard, but his heart was soft in the end, and after this long talk, he had a new understanding of Wei Chi's character.
"The decree of the government is still in my hands now, I originally returned it to my senior brother, and I don't know why, I came out of the spiritual realm and actually returned to my body, maybe it was the will of heaven. I used to be afraid of him and didn't dare to use it, but now I'm not afraid, the thing is in my hands, I am the rightful general of the local government, and I want to be brave enough to take that responsibility. ”
"Bold words, begging for mercy and confession, are all said from one mouth, what happens in the future, it's your own business, you don't need to express it with me."
"Although your words are heart-wrenching, they are also inspiring, write it down, don't bother, and leave."
Yu Chi Qinghong left, leaving Chen Mushan and Chu Xixi in the house, as well as the cat, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.
"Thank you for agreeing to help." Chu Xixi spoke first.
"I'm here to make money, thank you."
Chu Xixi smiled, stood up and suddenly said, "You really don't want me to be your woman?" ”
"I'm sorry, but you're not the one I'm rare."
"What do you like?"
"Tall, convex and backward, charming and coquettish."
"It looks like I don't meet any of them, I'm sleepy, good night."
Chu Xixi packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and entered the house with the cat in his arms, Chen Mushan also returned to his own room, and the two rooms in the living room seemed to be so far away.
