Mo Ruoxue shook her head slightly: "In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, this is normal. ”

"Is this normal?

"At least the Taoist leaders of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will thank you. Mo Ruoxue's white little face showed a trace of helplessness: "Brother Wang, you are a good person, if you go to the Southern Tang Dynasty and see the behavior of the monks in the Southern Tang Dynasty, you are afraid that you will be even more angry." ”

"Southern Tang monks, they can't be worse, right?"

Mo Ruoxue suddenly showed a hint of cunning and shyness: "Actually, after Ruoxue first met Brother Wang, how many times have you secretly observed Brother Wang......" The girl's eyes glanced at Wang Xiao, pursed her lips and smiled, beautiful and incomprehensible: "Hehe, it's Brother Wang, you said that I don't need to be talented, but rely on the logical way you taught me to look at people, don't be angry......! Ruoxue had already seen that Brother Wang, you were a very special person, and you didn't separate the secular people from the cultivators at all. In your consciousness, cultivators and laypeople are all human beings, and you will even cry out for those secular people in Chu County. You have the same attitude towards cultivators and laymen, this is ...... This is something Ruoxue has never encountered, and even in my Momen, there are very few people like you, Brother Wang. At that time, Ruoxue understood, Brother Wang, you are the one who has truly achieved 'love' and 'Shangtong'. ”

Wang Xiao smirked and touched his head: "This, I, I'm not as good as you say." ”

"Brother Wang, you have!" Mo Ruoxue glanced at Wang Xiao deeply: "Brother Wang, in fact, you may not know that in Chu County, although the cultivators are superior, they are already regarded as the most generous treatment of civilians among the three countries. It's hard for you to imagine that in the Southern Tang Dynasty, if a monk takes a fancy to your goods, you can have the opportunity to contribute to the monk, and you still need to make offerings with the greatest piety. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, you can have the opportunity to 'give' to the monks, which is a very rare blessing. ”

Wang Xiao was sluggish: "No, I will give alms to the monks, and I still ask for it?

"It's not cheap. Rather, in Buddhist teachings, monks receive alms as a blessing and blessing to the benefactor. The donor must give with the most devout attitude in order to be on the right path. In the past, when I first came to the Southern Tang Dynasty, I happened to see a middle-aged man begging for alms, he packed all the family property into twelve carts, and transported them to the Dalun Temple with oxen and horses, but he kowtowed slowly from home step by step, and after arriving at the Dalun Temple, he had to kneel to express his piety, and the monks in the temple were willing to accept it. ”

Wang Xiao shook his head: "This, this is really incomprehensible to me. Was it forced?"

Mo Ruoxue frowned and shook her head: "It seems to ...... Not forced...... Rather, some people in the Southern Tang Dynasty were extremely devout to Buddhism, especially around Tianzhu City and Da Lei Yin Temple. ”

"Voluntary ......" Wang Xiao couldn't help but shudder. Seeing the domineering behavior of the Eastern Zhou Daoists in Su County, I felt more and more uncomfortable in my heart, as if something was dormant.

With a feeling of siltation, he left Qianjun and went to Su County, which was close to the East China Sea.

Su County is one of the three coastal counties of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is considered to be the sphere of influence of Yuan Tianzong, and it is also the closest distance from Chu County to the East China Sea domain. According to the "Travels of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" that I have read before, Su County was a relatively wealthy city in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The next day, Wang Xiao and Mo Ruoxue were hurrying along the avenue, but suddenly found that a branch road in front of them was full of people, and hundreds of villagers knelt neatly on the side of the road, praising something.

"What's that?" Wang Xiao asked.

Mo Ruoxue glanced at them a few times: "Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are waiting for the Taoist leader of the Shangshan Sect." ”

"Shangshanmen?"

"Well, a sect that is good at using water magic, look, that should be coming. ”

Following the direction Mo Ruoxue pointed, Wang Xiao saw an extremely gorgeous open-top carriage coming from the official road in front of him.

The carriage was much more magnificent than the king's laughter. It is almost as wide as the three-zhang wide avenue, pulled by eight mixed snow-white horses, the car is inlaid with gold and jade, several beautiful girls are holding musical instruments and playing music, in the center is a car curtain, on the car curtain there is a rune that seems to be a water-based script, through the fluttering car curtain, Wang Xiao faintly saw a Taoist priest holding two women laughing. The carriage was also driven by two women, but they were tall and considered healthy women, but if you look closely, even these two healthy women are good-looking.

When the carriage reached the branch road full of kneeling people, all the villagers on both sides of the branch road bowed their heads, and the sound of the whole voice spread: "Welcome to the arrival of the immortal master jade toe!"

The carriage drove straight past without stopping or responding. The day before yesterday, it had rained heavily, and when the carriage passed by, it splashed patches of muddy water, staining the heads and faces of the people on both sides, but no one looked up.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that the villagers on the side of the road raised their heads, but to Wang Xiao's surprise and even horror, these villagers with muddy water on their faces actually had a smile on their faces, and even had a strange sense of happiness!

This discovery made Wang Xiao creepy, and asked Mo Ruoxue sideways: "This, why do they look so happy?"

"Because their harvest has fallen this year. Mo Ruoxue pointed into the distance, and it was a patch of terraced fields.

"Qianjun is mountainous, and this village is built on the mountain, so it is difficult to get water for crops. In order to be able to get enough water for the farmland on the mountain, they had to rely on the Taoists of the Shangshan Gate to use magic to divert water. So...... Although this Taoist shows a very domineering appearance, but it is a guarantee of this year's harvest for these villagers, how can they not be grateful? In fact, the Daomen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are also fine, although it is inevitable that they will be a little arrogant, but at least with them, these villagers can survive better. ”

"You can't survive without a Daomen?" Not necessarily!" Wang Xiao disagreed: "Isn't it just a high place to draw water, do you need this? I remember that the waterwheel has been there for a long time! They can use the waterwheel." ”

Mo Ruoxue's eyes lit up, and she said appreciatively: "Brother Wang is really knowledgeable! Are you talking about the Kong Ming car used by the ancient sage Zhuge Kong Ming in Shudi?"

(The waterwheel, also known as the Kongming car, although the earliest prototype was in the Zhou Dynasty, was improved by Zhuge Liang and officially used in large quantities.) ）

"Well, was this invented by Zhuge Liang? Well, that's what I'm talking about. You Momen should have improved over the years, right? Why don't you teach them?"

Mo Ruoxue's expression darkened: "Teach them, Brother Wang...... Indeed, we have a lot of mechanisms in Momen that can make life better for these villagers...... But we don't dare to spread the word......"

"Why? Momen is not a self-cherishing sect of brooms!"

"Because...... Because ......" Mo Ruoxue lowered her head: "Because, this is the magic of the devil's way." Once...... There are also villages that use these things from Momen, such as Kongming cars, such as cranes...... But...... As long as it is discovered by the ten major sects, then anyone who uses and spreads the magic of the demon path will be killed...... Already, already dead for this, too many people have died. So ......"
