Chapter 180: Happy New Year (Happy New Year)
Inside the Sanqing Palace.
Lao Dao looked at Lin Ye with a serious expression, and asked, "Have you met the third pawnshop?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Ye nodded: "I met, the one who asked me if I had anything to pawn or what I wanted, he could do it for me, I knew as soon as I heard it that I was bragging, and I didn't pay attention to him." ”
"People are not bragging, they really have the ability, but it's a good thing that you didn't make a deal with him." Lao Dao's expression was a little complicated, "It's like a quagmire, once you step into it, you will only fall deeper and deeper." ”
Hearing what Lao Dao said, Lin Ye knew that he was right, but the real world and the other world are two different worlds, is the business of the third pawnshop so extensive?
Or is it just a pawnshop with the same name, just like there is Buddhism in the real world, and there is also a Buddha in this world.
But thinking of this, Lin Ye became more curious about this third pawnshop, you must know that Buddhism is a big system, it is a cultivation inheritance, and a small pawnshop can be compared with Buddhism?
"Master, what is the origin of this third pawnshop, it looks very mysterious?"
"The sky is one, the earth is two, and the pawnshop is third, do you think it's powerful?" Lao Dao saw Lin Ye's puzzled expression and explained: "I haven't seen the third pawnshop as a teacher, but it is recorded in the classics of our Taoist temple that when the third pawnshop appears, it is known as the twilight of gods and demons." ”
"What do you mean?"
"The third pawnshop will only appear in the era of the end of the law, but now is not the era of the end of the law, it's really strange."
Lao Dao muttered, and Lin Ye replied in his heart, the other world is not the era of the end of the law, but the real world is.
In this way, this third pawnshop is also transworldly, but only in the era of the end of the law.
"Master, why did the Third Pawnshop appear in the era of the end of the law, could it be that they had enemies in other eras?"
"It's not clear to be a teacher, but this third pawnshop has been mentioned in the classics of our Qingfeng view, and the appearance of the third pawnshop will inevitably mean the advent of the end of the Dharma era, and the shopkeeper of each third pawnshop will look for others to trade in the end of the Dharma era and obtain the souls of others, in order to recast new gods."
"Reforge a new god?"
Lin Ye was really stunned this time, is the mission of the third pawnshop so strong?
"In the era of the end of the law, the gods have disappeared, and people have lost faith in the gods, and only by selecting the purest soul can the appearance of the gods be able to re-summon the appearance of the gods, and for the third pawnshop, what he needs is a pure soul."
Lao Dao glanced at Lin Ye and said: "The reason why the teacher said that it is a good thing that you didn't agree, it is because once you are targeted by the third pawnshop, it means that your soul is the most valuable in his opinion, and what you want, in the eyes of the third pawnshop, is just dispensable, and can be given casually, even if the first transaction you give is not a soul, but as long as you taste the sweetness of the transaction, you will finally trade the entire soul again and again." ”
"It's true or false, any requirement can be met, so what if I want to live forever?"
"Again, as long as you can pay the same price." Lao Dao's expression was very serious, and he continued: "Don't feel that the teacher is deliberately scaring you, the strength of the third pawnshop is not something you can imagine, there were once strong people who wanted to use strength on the pawnshop, and the final price was to remove the entire sect overnight." ”
"Master, you also said that the third pawnshop only appeared in the era of the end of the law, and the strength of the strong people at that time was not strong enough."
Lin Ye seized the loophole in Lao Dao's words to refute, but Lao Dao sighed and said: "People's desires are endless, although the third pawnshop is mysterious, but it is recorded in our Qingfeng Guan classics, and other big forces will also have it, the third pawnshop only appeared in the era of the end of the law, but it does not mean that he is gone in other eras, it is just hidden, and there are many people who are looking for the third pawnshop for various reasons." ”
"Isn't this the same as Qin Shi Huang's search for immortality?" Lin Ye muttered.
"Qin Shi Huang?"
"I mean, just like the emperors of some dynasties, if you want to gain immortality, you may also go to the third pawnshop to trade."
"That's right, but compared to the immortality of the secular emperor, more cultivators want to find the third pawnshop, in the classic records of Qingfeng Temple, there was once a major sect, its strong like a cloud, the head of the sect is said to be only one step away from the feather flying immortal, the head of the world is looking for the whereabouts of the third pawnshop, it is said that it was really found by the sect."
"And then?" Lin Ye asked.
Then the sect disappeared overnight from the head of the sect to the new disciples, and the entire sect was also removed, and the world found a token at the mountain gate of the sect, which was engraved with the word "third". ”
"So exaggerated?"
"Exaggerated? The gods may fall, but the third pawnshop is eternal, remember the words of the teacher, since you have escaped, then don't deal with the third pawnshop, of course, there is a great possibility, you meet the third pawnshop. ”
"And impersonations?"
"The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the third pawnshop may not have heard of it for ordinary cultivators, but it is not a secret to some big forces, so naturally there will be people who want to fake it for personal gain."
Lin Ye thought about it for a while, and then understood the meaning of the old saying.
If the emperors of the past dynasties pursued immortality, then naturally there will be so-called liars and Taoists, and people will unconsciously reduce their IQ when facing their desires.
"Third, you just need to know the matter of the pawnshop, whether it is true or not, since you refuse, the other party will not come to you again in a short time, and there is an important matter for you to do here."
"Don't, master, you better leave it to Senior Brother."
Listening to Lao Dao's words, Lin Ye hurriedly refused, what kind of joke was made, it was impossible for Lao Dao to think of himself for any good thing.
"Master Wei originally wanted to hand it over to your senior brother, but thinking about it, it is more reliable for you to do this, this is a great thing, today is the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, we Qingfeng Guan have enjoyed the incense of the people in the city for a year, today is the day of thanksgiving, and you have drawn three hundred peace charms for the teacher, and you will give these peace charms to the people in the city."
"That's it?"
It is a good thing to send peace charms to the people, but Lin Ye always feels that things are not so simple.
"That's it, by the way, do you have any broken silver on you?"
"Whatever you want that thing for, I always carry a silver ticket with me."
Lin Ye was very pretended, and he habitually put silver tickets on his body, with the lowest being ten taels and the most being one thousand taels.
The corners of Lao Dao's mouth twitched, he knew that his apprentice was very rich, but he didn't expect to be rich to this extent.
In the end, Lin Ye still agreed to the old way, send blessings, and give feedback to customers at the end of the year, which is a good thing.
……
……
An hour later.
Lin Ye walked out of a house in the city, the smile on his face disappeared, and Lao Dao really still cheated him.
This blessing is indeed a good thing, but the people can't stand the people pestering him to let him do it, just this family, the grandson fell the day before yesterday, the old woman asked him to see if there was anything dirty at home, he said no and still didn't believe it, he had to take a peach wood sword around.
The previous one, which was considered a big family, didn't let him show him what was dirty in the house, but pulled him to show his children the eight characters of marriage, he was a Taoist priest and not a fortune teller.
Lin Ye understood that this was not a New Year's reward, a big reward at the end of the year.
No wonder Lao Dao doesn't send it himself, it's for fear of being tired to death.
However, when these dozen or so families came down, Lin Ye was also very clear about the situation of these families.
It took four hours for Lin Ye to deliver all these peace charms, and he almost dropped the peace charms and ran away.
Breeze view.
Lao Dao looked at Lin Ye with a tired face, and said with a smile: "The apprentice has gained a lot this time." ”
"The harvest is quite a lot, and I even understand what kind of man Widow Li wants to find in Chengdong to take over, I recommended the master to her, and she is quite satisfied."
"Nonsense."
"You also know nonsense, this work is done by people?"
Lin Ye glared at Lao Dao angrily, and Lao Dao smiled: "There is actually no way to be a teacher, who told you to have money, if you let Dawu go, I am afraid that you will not be able to do anything." ”
Listening to Lao Dao's words, Lin Ye was silent for a moment, he understood what Lao Dao meant.
This time to send peace charms, he also saw a lot of poor people with poor conditions, some of them were originally from a good family, but the family suffered something, the family was sick or had an accident, and the whole family had no New Year's celebration.
In the face of these families, he put down the peace charm at the same time, and also gave a silver ticket.
In the past few hours, he has gone out with nearly a thousand taels of wealth, and he can be regarded as understanding why Lao Dao asked him if he had brought any silver.
"These are the incense laymen of our Qingfeng View, and now that they are in trouble, it can be regarded as returning this incense money to others, not touching this cause and effect."
Lao Dao sighed, Lin Ye pursed his lips, and said that Lao Dao was greedy for life and afraid of death and did not touch cause and effect, but he couldn't find fault with Lao Dao's behavior.
There is great love in my heart.
It's better than those Taoist temples that only go in and can't get out.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, how much did you give this time?"
"About 1,300 taels." Lin Ye thought for a moment and replied.
The indifferent expression on Lao Dao's face disappeared, and was replaced by a face full of distress: ", you loser, who told you to give so much, our Qingfeng Guan only received less than two hundred taels of incense money a year, I asked you to give back a little, but I didn't let you give back so much, I knew that I would have let Dawu go, we are opening a Taoist temple, not a good hall." ”
Seeing Lao Dao's angry appearance, Lin Ye felt that he should retract his previous evaluation of Lao Dao.
Leaving from Qingfeng Temple, Lin Ye returned home before his buttocks were hot, and another guest came to the door.
"Senior Brother Daoji is here?"
Lin Ye: "No. ”
