Chapter Fifty-Seven: Porridge Day
"Hey, auntie, don't go, let's discuss it again. In this way, can't I let you have a Buddha bead and shave all the fish scales and impurities on it?"
The middle-aged woman hesitated and agreed, "Okay then, you can shave cleanly, don't think about missing two pounds." ”
"Don't worry, I, Zhao Fair, do business fairly, and I have always been the fairest. ”
Qian Yue was dumbfounded.
What did she just see?
Mortals dare to ask monks to buy things, or that kind of attitude?
What are the Buddha beads? Sounds better than spirit stones!
Filled with questions, she walked slowly and methodically through the two streets, and found that the people here did not speak the rules of the monastic world at all.
The male cultivators all wore short hair, and the female cultivators all wore strips of yellow cloth on their heads.
Forget it, the key is that those mortals can afford to eat demon beasts!
Qianyue was shocked!
She couldn't wait to find someone to ask about the situation, and what exactly was that Buddha bead?
Just as he was about to pull a good-tempered monk to ask for clarification, a male cultivator of Zhuji suddenly walked out of the shop diagonally opposite, carrying a copper drum in his hand, beating rhythmically.
"The little friends who passed by, all look over here. ”
As soon as he shouted, dozens of monks immediately gathered.
"Money shopkeeper, is there anything good?"
The money shopkeeper also had short shaved hair, a gray robe, and a yellow belt tied around his waist.
I have to say, the people here love yellow.
Not only the buildings in the city, but also bright yellow. Even monks and mortals must always wear some yellow on their bodies, otherwise it will be as if they can't go out.
Qianyue was a little glad that the last set of magic robes left happened to be apricot-colored.
Although the color is lighter, it is still yellow.
Dressed similarly to the local monks, it is not easy to be xenophobic!
The gong sounded again.
"Fellow Daoists, Longshan Temple's triennial porridge day is coming. The shop recruits monks and teams up to hunt in the Nanqing Mountains. Everyone knows that mortals can only eat first-order demon beasts. This hunt can be said to be no danger, and when the time comes, the store will buy it at a price 10% higher than the market price. If you are lucky and meet other treasures, I hope to sell them to our store first, and the price is high. ”
"Money shopkeeper, do you have any benefits for the monks who formed a team this year?" someone asked below.
The shopkeeper smiled slightly, and replied in a loud voice, "Naturally, there is, as long as you join the hunting team organized by this store, you can get a box of low-grade yellow dragon cream." ”
The crowd immediately erupted in cheers, followed by someone shouting, "I'll sign up!"
Immediately after this shout, people scrambled to follow.
"Okay, good, the little friends who signed up lined up in turn to register. ”
The money shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear, every Ji Congee Day is the most lively day in Longshanfang City, and it is also the business opportunity that these merchants are most looking forward to.
Qian Yue was half-aware when she heard this, her eyes swept around, and fell on a female cultivator in the back row.
"This fellow Taoist ......"
The female cultivator was patted on the shoulder, turned her head suspiciously, and found that she couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, and the person who came was no more than twelve years old, so she immediately said in a good voice, "Fellow Daoist, are you calling me?"
"Yes, my name is Qianyue. Not long after coming to Longshanfang City, what is this Ji Porridge Day? Anyway, the line is still long, so it's inconvenient for Dao friends to introduce it to me?"
The female cultivator is wearing a bright yellow Luo skirt, a three-layer cultivator who practices qi, is about eighteen years old, and looks gentle and quiet.
Hearing her ask, she immediately smiled gently, "Of course you can." ”
"Under Yan Ruqing, locals. This porridge day is the day when Longshan Temple returns to pilgrims once every three years, and on that day, all mortals can go to the bottom of the mountain to receive a free porridge for demon beasts. This porridge is mild, mortals can replenish qi and prolong their lives if they eat it, and every time they come, they can fill several small cities. ”
"So the money shopkeeper recruited monks just to hunt beasts in Longshan Temple?"
"That's right, first-order demon beasts are only caught by Qi cultivators. At this time, the price of monsters will rise by one percent. Everyone teamed up to enter the Nanqing Mountains, and the security could be increased. If you're lucky, you can kill some second-order demon beasts, and you can make a lot of money. ”
Qian Yue rolled her eyes and asked quietly, "Then why don't you sell the demon beast directly to Longshan Temple, won't the price be higher?"
Yan Ruqing didn't care, and said with a smile, "Take it directly to Longshan Temple, the price is lower, and the shops in the market cooperate with Longshan Temple all year round, so you can get a higher price." And it's too dangerous to go into the mountains alone. ”
Qian Yue thought about it, but this is also the case.
"Just now, I came all the way, and I saw the market trading, and I dared to ask what the Buddha beads were?"
"Buddha beads are issued to mortals by Longshan Temple, Buddhist cultivation requires merit, and it is easiest to start from mortals, so there will be a Buddha bead. If there are pilgrims who sincerely offer incense, they will give birth to mental power, which is needed for Buddhist practice. In order to take care of mortals, make the incense flourishing, and the power of thought continues to merit forever, Longshan Temple will distribute Buddhist beads from time to time. Mortals can use the beads to buy things from the monks, and the monks use the beads to exchange the equivalent of spiritual stones with Longshan Temple. ”
"Mortals have no spiritual power, so don't monks take it by force?"
Yan Ruqing glanced at her and said solemnly, "If the monk can't retrieve the Buddha beads through the righteous path, the beads will inevitably be stained with resentment." Longshan Temple will not exchange this kind of Buddha beads, and if it encounters a mortal life, it will also let the monk pay for his life. ”
No wonder the mortals in the Fang City dared to bargain with the monks like that.
Speaking of which, the Buddhist cultivators in the golden bottle world are really business-minded, and they say that they want to be vegetarians, but the acquisition of demon beasts is high-profile.
In fact, Buddhist monks are also monks to put it bluntly, even if the monks of Longshan Temple do not eat meat, they also take pills. The higher the level of the elixir, the more demon beast materials it contains, such as the demon pill.
What's more, she has never seen such a subtle method of distributing Buddhist beads to obtain merit in the outside world.
The Buddhist monks of Longshan Temple have a future!
"Daoist friends are young, and their cultivation is profound, so it's better to sign up together. There aren't many opportunities to earn spirit stones like this. ”
Qianyue has this intention, if only she could pass this mission and earn enough money for the journey.
"Naturally, I want to participate!"
Yan Ruqing was overjoyed, she was willing to say so much patiently, on the one hand, because of the other party's cultivation, and on the other hand, because of the selfishness of forming a team.
Although everyone signed up here at the money shopkeeper, there were many monks, and when the time came, they would be divided into teams, and it would naturally be best to have people with high cultivation by their side.
Qianyue didn't understand her thoughts, the two of them lined up together, and finally finished registering their names, and as soon as they walked out of the store, someone came up to talk.
"In the next chapter Wenqiang, I have seen Taoist friends. ”
The person who came was dressed in a crow blue robe, with bright yellow cloud patterns embroidered on the mouth of the leader, eight layers of qi training, looking like twenty, and looking average.
If you don't have a body of cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract the attention of others.
Although Qianyue has always judged people by their appearance, she is not ignorant of etiquette, so she immediately said, "In Xia Qianyue, I have seen Zhang Daoyou." ”
