Chapter 37: One Incense and Five Taels
He Qiu had the intention to take this rain ball to a height of 10,000 meters to try it, but he was afraid that the changes in the sky would be too strong and cause unnecessary trouble.
After thinking about it, He Qiu still decided to believe in the system.
So far, the system is quite reliable.
However, new problems have arisen.
When begging for rain, He Qiu is going to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and there is no one on the rain platform at that time, even if the rain is pouring down, it is estimated that the onlookers will not think it is the rain that is begging.
This is not good, you have to find someone to pretend to be on the rain platform.
He Qiu immediately thought of Yao Guangxiao.
But soon, He Qiu abandoned this idea.
This kind of thing is always done by Taoist priests.
Yao Guangxiao is a monk after all, and his profession is not right.
After thinking about it, He Qiu felt that he should find a Taoist priest.
……
The next morning, He Qiu opened his eyes and signed first.
[Successful sign-in, congratulations to the host for obtaining a bronze sword, and the props have been stored in your personal inventory, please withdraw them by yourself.] 】
When He Qiu heard this prompt, his face suddenly turned dark.
The dog system, which was rewarded with Iron Man armor yesterday, has become a bronze sword today.
This gap is too big, and it ruins people's good mood all at once.
He Qiu couldn't accept this blow, so he directly covered the quilt and prepared to sleep for a while to relieve the pain in his soul.
But calculating the time, Zhu Gaochi, this little guy, should be about to come to say goodbye.
As a teacher, sleeping in the sun and making the disciples wait for a long time, it is really a bit unparticular.
He Qiu had no choice but to get up sullenly, get dressed and come to the courtyard.
Sure enough, Zhu Gaochi arrived soon.
"Students say hello to the teacher!"
Zhu Gaochi bent down and bowed to He Qiu.
He Qiu yawned and said, "Excuse me, today you can review the knowledge that was taught to you by the teacher yesterday, and teach you new knowledge tomorrow!" ”
Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "Yes, follow the teacher's orders!" ”
For Zhu Gaochi's disciple, He Qiu still likes it very much.
He rubbed Zhu Gaochi's head and said, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'll make you a sweet potato porridge for the teacher today, and then go study hard after drinking the porridge!" ”
Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, swallowed his saliva and said, "Thank you, teacher, teacher, can I call the second and third brothers over to drink porridge together?" ”
He Qiu nodded and said, "Of course you can, you can go and call it, and go cook porridge for the teacher first!" ”
After speaking, He Qiu walked towards the back kitchen.
After seeing the craftsmanship of the palace cook, He Qiu decided to eat and drink by himself in the future.
Otherwise, I really can't eat.
About twenty minutes later, He Qiu's sweet potato porridge was ready.
Zhu Gaochi also called Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaochi over.
For the children, the meals He Qiu cooked were no different from snacks, which was very tempting.
When drinking porridge, Zhu Gaochi praised He Qiu's craftsmanship again, which made He Qiu a little embarrassed.
Children love to tell the truth!
……
After breakfast, He Qiu sent the three children away, and then called a carriage from the palace to go to the nearby Yuquan Mountain.
He Qiu had already inquired last night, and there happened to be a Taoist temple on Yuquan Mountain, called Longquan Temple.
It is said that Longquan Temple has also produced real people, but it has declined in recent years.
This is exactly what He Qiu needs.
How can a Taoist priest who lives a more nourishing life accept such a job as asking for rain?
When the rain came, it was naturally famous.
But if you can't ask for rain, your years of practice will be ruined.
In short, there are still risks.
Taoist priests are also human beings, and they should also pay attention to pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
The carriage swayed on the road for more than an hour before reaching the foot of Yuquan Mountain.
Further on, there is a rugged mountain road, and horse-drawn carriages cannot pass.
He Qiu instructed the groom to wait at the foot of the mountain, and he walked on the mountain path in a dashing manner.
When he arrived at a place where no one was around, He Qiu immediately put on the Iron Man armor and flew directly to Longquan Temple.
From the foot of Yuquan Mountain to Longquan Temple, it took more than an hour to walk, and He Qiu was unwilling to waste this time.
Putting on the Iron Man armor, in less than five minutes, He Qiu came to the vicinity of the Longquan Guanshan Gate.
I have to say that the Longquan View is indeed a bit broken.
The mountain gate was even half collapsed.
However, from the height of this mountain gate, you can still vaguely see the glory of Longquan View in the past.
"The wind is always blown away by the rain and the wind!"
He Qiu sighed with emotion, took out a paper fan, and walked into the mountain gate slowly like a noble son of the Ming Dynasty.
He Qiu didn't meet a Taoist priest along the way.
It wasn't until I walked to the Jade Emperor Hall that I saw two Taoist priests cleaning the hall.
He Qiu put away the paper fan and said very politely to the two Taoist priests: "Two ......"
Speaking of which, He Qiu suddenly paused, not knowing what to call these two people.
Tell you, these two are too young.
Call it a bull's nose, nine times out of ten you will be beaten.
Fortunately, the two Taoist priests had already noticed He Qiu, and without He Qiu continuing to greet him, one of the fat Taoist priests shouted, "Are you here to offer incense?" ”
He Qiu originally wanted to directly find this Longquan Viewer.
But on second thought, I had to follow the local customs.
It is a bit unreasonable to enter the Taoist temple and not incense.
So He Qiu nodded and said, "That's right, I'm here to incense!" ”
The fat Taoist priest suddenly smiled.
"You come to us to offer incense, you can be regarded as finding the right place, our Daojun statue here is the most effective, and you will be guaranteed to make a fortune!"
As he spoke, the fat Taoist priest took out five long incense sticks from the offering table and handed them to He Qiu.
He Qiu was about to reach out to pick it up, but the fat Taoist priest suddenly moved away from the long incense and said, "Pay the money first, and then take the incense." ”
This is somewhat similar to modern temples and Taoist temples.
Considering the rugged mountain road, it is not convenient to transport incense and candles, and it is also appropriate to pay some money.
So He Qiu took out the money bag and asked, "How much is this incense?" ”
The fat Taoist priest stretched out five chubby fingers and said, "Five taels!" ”
It's a bit dark.
Ordinary people can only earn a dozen taels of silver all year round, but this Taoist priest opened his mouth for five taels, and directly took away half a year's income of ordinary people.
Fortunately, He Qiu made a lot of money during this time, and he had other things to do today, so he didn't bother to bother with this fat Taoist.
"Okay, five taels is five taels!"
He Qiu said, and he was about to take out the money from the money bag.
At this time, the fat Taoist priest spoke again: "Slow, I'm talking about five taels of one, this is a total of five, you have to give me twenty-five taels!" ”
He Qiu's action of taking the money paused, and his face turned dark.
"Five incense sticks and twenty-five taels, this is a bit excessive, right?"
He Qiu was a little unhappy and said to the fat Taoist.
However, the fat Taoist priest sneered: "You don't inquire, our Longquan Temple has been a real person, the Taoist statue is more effective than elsewhere, this one is still less than five taels, if it is the season when there are many pilgrims, there are also people rushing to buy a ten taels!" ”
