Chapter 103: The Monk's Tricks
I remember that in the [Ten Thousand Loach Garden], each loach in it has extremely exquisite control over the body, as if it has been tempered thousands of times.
Although Qiu Ping deliberately imitated, he was never able to reach that height.
But right now, this [Heavenly Soul Searching Technique] supernatural power has given him a lot of inspiration.
Since this supernatural power can monitor other people's bodies, can it also monitor one's own body?
Where there are deficiencies and defects, can they be quickly adjusted?
Qiu Ping's body slowly swam in the water, his beard kept squirming, and a reflection of his real body quickly appeared in his brain.
All the incongruities in the body are marked in the mind.
He consciously adjusts every muscle in his body, which is uncomfortable at first, but over time, the movement of these muscles gradually becomes his instinct to swim.
Although he still swims slowly, the friction with the current seems to have decreased considerably.
After the tea, his whole fish was like a black shadow shuttling through the current, barely making a splash between his movements.
Vaguely, it seems that the magic power [oil lubricating technique] that he has comprehended is also undergoing a transformation little by little.
Maybe one day, this lowly little supernatural power can transform into a great supernatural power, making his body smoother and more moist, and further reducing the friction with space.
……
"Little loach, it's coming time to harvest grain soon, if those monks come again, you can't beat people." On the edge of the threshing floor, the land lord persuaded Qiu Ping bitterly.
Last time, this little loach beat up the monk, and it was thanks to the Luohan Monastery that he didn't go to Chenghuang to complain, and he didn't give Qiu Ping a credit based on the principle that more things are better than less.
Otherwise, this matter will definitely attract the attention of the city god.
Although those monks don't do anything, but their behavior doesn't violate any rules and laws, you have nothing to do with them.
"Got it." Qiu Ping waved his hand, but he still listened to the words of the land lord.
After all, he had already stolen the fruits of the garden of the Luohan Monastery last time, rubbed away a golden bowl, and captured a demon snake from them.
Now, as long as the monk doesn't make the first move, try to restrain his temper as much as possible.
Well, as much as possible.
The land lord nodded, it seems that this little loach is still growing, at least he can listen to the advice.
Just when the two of them were chatting with each other, the grain collection team had already arrived.
It's just that this time when he saw the gang of people collecting grain, not only Qiu Ping was shocked, but even the land lord couldn't sit still.
In addition to the tolerance of the yamen and the stewards of large families, more than ten monks also came.
The land lord secretly complained, this gang of thieves is not a big deal at all, last time a monk had an unpleasant quarrel with the little loach, this time there were more than a dozen monks at once, isn't this a blatant provocation?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Qiu Ping carefully.
“…… This group of monks really has a kind. Qiu Ping smacked his lips and said for a long time.
"Qiu Ping, don't beat people for a while, these monks don't have any cultivation in their bodies, they are mortals. If you do it, the official is small, and if it is serious, you may be stabbed. The land father's eyelids jumped a few times, and he only felt that his head hurt.
Last time, although the monk's strength was low, he had already begun to practice, and even if he was beaten, it could only be regarded as a small dispute, anyway, the relationship between Shinto and Buddhism itself was not very good.
But at the moment, these monks, except for wearing monk's robes and shaving their heads, are basically mortals.
If you really have to do it, the nature will change.
These monks have a hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Although Qiu Ping hated it in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.
"This group of monks, do you want to go back and go to their temple with the shrew to steal something? No, no, those monks must be on guard now, and if I go up, I will be sent to death. Qiu Ping had many ideas flashing through his mind, but he rejected them one by one.
The more this time, the more you can't be swayed by emotions.
"Didn't you say that it was better to divide it into five? How did it become seven or three this year? Just when Qiu Ping was thinking about how to deal with it, he suddenly heard the villagers shouting loudly.
"Shout what you want! The imperial court intends to use troops against the Hu people in the north, and is raising grain, and this year Qingzhou is a bumper year, so he should pay more grain. The documents of the imperial court have been sent, don't you know? A messenger called for him to explain.
Li is a good old man, only thinking that he should not offend at both ends, so he hurriedly explained to the people that although we will pay more food this year, we can be exempted from forced labor.
Whenever there is a war, the people will inevitably be recruited.
Those who are safe are responsible for building walls and bridges, or transporting food.
If the war is tight, you have to go to the battlefield in person.
Under all kinds of persuasion, the noise of the villagers gradually subsided. Although I paid more food, at least I didn't have to go to the battlefield.
Over the years, many of the recruited people have died in battle or lost on the road, and they can never return to their hometowns.
"Alas, this year is a big harvest year, and even thirty percent of the grain is enough to eat." The villagers had to comfort themselves like this, they could fill their stomachs, and the family could be safe, which was better than anything else.
Moreover, the acres of land on the temple side are still divided into fifty-fifty, and after this calculation, they can still have some surplus grain.
It's just that they rejoiced too soon.
"Our prison has explained, the Zen temple is going to be renovated in the near future, and it is necessary to collect more food, so this year it also needs to be divided into seventy or three, but the temple will not let the people suffer, and each tenant farmer can invite an Arhat from the temple to go back, as long as they worship every day, they will be rewarded with good results." The leading monk bowed and said to everyone.
This year, the people have received a lot of grain, and they have a lot of wealth, and many people have made up their minds early.
As for these tenant farmers, as long as they don't starve to death.
If you keep your stomach in trouble, it will be difficult to manage in the future.
Qiu Ping stood not far away, and his blood pressure went up a little when he heard this, is this a special person?
Last time, your Arhat was scared away! Bless a fart.
"Little Loach...... Qiu Ping, don't do it! The land lord grabbed Qiu Ping's arm, for fear that this little loach would be hot and would beat people again.
This matter may have been deliberately done by the monk, while being able to collect more food, while provoking the little loaches to do it, they took advantage of both ends.
The beard on Qiu Ping's lips fluttered wildly, obviously choking with anger.
But he is very sober at the moment, and it is a felony to beat mortals, and this red line cannot be crossed.
If you don't engage with these monks, your Dao heart is unstable.
Just as he was at a loss, a huge blue-green figure fell from the sky, and a large locust smashed a large hole in the ground.
"Hahaha, little loach, I didn't expect it, you locust god uncle I came out again!"
