Chapter 76 Temple Fair
"No need." He Qianqing replied without any hesitation.
"Why?" Yang Yuyao looked at He Qianqing, feeling puzzled. "Isn't it said that wealth and resources are very important to monks?" From the time they met again to now, the resources He Qianqing gave him were enough to be called a huge amount. You must know that most disciples of the sect can get them in a month. There are only a few dozen spirit stones. Even if you desperately accept the mission, it is not easy to save tens of thousands of ordinary spirit stones. Although I don't know how many resources He Qianqing has on hand, so that he can disregard the resources of an entire small secret realm. But Yang Yuyao believes that this has nothing to do with the amount of money. Others should pay back what they have paid.
"It is very important, but there is no shortage of teachers." He Qianqing smiled. Just when Yang Yuyao was about to speak, He Qianqing continued, "And teachers want to give you resources."
"I can earn resources by myself, so I don't have to do this." Yang Yuyao frowned slightly, although Yang Yuyao felt something was wrong when He Qianqing directly handed over all the resources in the small secret realm to him. It was just that He Qianqing was prevaricating him at that time. "Although we are dating now, we are in a cooperative relationship in this matter. Master, you have provided so much help, and I should pay you." Yang Yuyao said seriously.
"If I don't want the spirit stone as a teacher, can I change it to something else?" He Qianqing was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"The premise is that I can obtain resources legally... through formal channels. Master, what do you want?" Yang Yuyao asked. He Qianqing stared at him, his eyes were exactly the same as when they were crazy for three days and three nights. Even though He Qianqing didn't speak, Yang Yuyao felt inexplicably flustered.
"How about I think about it first, Master?" He Qianqing put away his lustful gaze. Yang Yuyao's intuition was not wrong. He Qianqing had thought about offering Yunyu in exchange, but such thoughts were not suitable to be said. out. The relationship between them should not be exchanged for interests.
"Okay, but please don't deal with me, Master." Yang Yuyao nodded lightly and chose to give in.
"How subtle..." Tu Shan, who was forgotten again, thought to himself. Although she could transform before meeting Yang Yuyao, she was actually a fox demon who had lived for almost a hundred years. She has actually seen a lot of human couples getting along. But she had never seen anyone like Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing, so she couldn't understand.
"Do you need another day of rest tomorrow?" He Qianqing asked after the two of them tacitly agreed not to discuss this topic further. Seeing the ambiguous mottled marks occasionally appearing on Yang Yuyao's fair skin, He Qianqing repeatedly reflected on whether he had gone too far. Even when Yang Yuyao was learning swordsmanship and martial arts, he didn't need to be taught specifically. He could just read it once and understand it easily. But Yang Yuyao was not an active person, and he had never tried the practice of other disciples wielding swords and carrying heavy loads.
He Qianqing doted on him and did not ask him to practice. After all, Yang Yuyao's sober time before was so short that it was impossible for him to practice according to the way a normal disciple would practice. The result now is that Yang Yuyao's swordsmanship is extremely strong, but his body bones are too weak compared to those serious swordsmen.
"Are you ready to leave?" Yang Yuyao asked, but then he thought that He Qianqing had finished all the things he had to do in Jinyang City, and it was time for them to head to their next destination. "Then let's leave tomorrow."
"Let's leave the day after tomorrow. How about going to the temple fair tomorrow?" Although Yang Yuyao felt that he was fine, He Qianqing decided to let Yang Yuyao rest for another day. If you just visit the temple fair, you won't have to worry about traveling by horse-drawn carriage.
"Okay." Yang Yuyao nodded and agreed. He originally wanted to see the Spring Festival activities in Jinyang City tonight, but he chose to give up because of special customs.
The temple fair on the fifth day of the first lunar month is no longer as lively as it was on the first and second day of the lunar month. Ordinary people have come a few days ago. Although according to the calendar, it is a rest day until the Jiahui Festival, but most people do not dare to take a rest. If you take such a long break, you may go hungry in the coming year.
But there are a lot of projects in the temple, because although ordinary people will not come, the princes and ladies of the princes and nobles who have attended various banquets will start to play together one after another. Most of the shops in Jinyang City are now open for business. Now the whole Jinyang City looks lively but not crowded. This kind of atmosphere is just right for Yang Yuyao. He doesn't need to worry about walking with a bunch of people. Even Tu Shan got permission from Yang Yuyao to transform into a human and wander around the temple fair on his own.
"Welcome the God of Wealth!" someone announced loudly, and the crowd consciously walked to both sides of the road, leaving a middle road. He Qianqing took Yang Yuyao directly to the second floor of a teahouse and stood against the railing, so that he did not have to crowd with the crowd downstairs.
With the sound of suona and the sound of gongs and drums, eight burly and strong men, led by the band, walked over with a swagger carrying a statue of the God of Wealth wrapped in bright red silk. A man dressed as a master followed slightly behind the statue of the God of Wealth, constantly chanting various auspicious words. However, the sound of gongs, drums and suona was too loud, making it difficult to hear his words clearly.
When the statue of the God of Wealth arrived with people standing on both sides, people on both sides raised their hands and threw copper coins at the statue of the God of Wealth. After throwing, they closed their eyes and closed their hands and prayed.
"This is one of the unique customs of the Wei Wu Kingdom, called 'investing in wealth.' People in this country believe that if they want the God of Wealth to notice them and deliver wealth to their home, they must first bribe the God of Wealth with a small amount of money. It is easy to see people praying for wealth among all living beings." He Qianqing sent a message to Yang Yuyao to introduce the reasons why these people did this.
Although people in this world advocate cultivating immortals and respect monks, they also believe in gods. It’s just that different places have different customs. But Wei Wuguo's approach is unique in the entire world.
"Many of these gentlemen and ladies in Jinyang City are monks." Yang Yuyao looked at the young men and women who had entered the path of spiritual practice. Even though they were monks, they still threw money and prayed to the God of Wealth like ordinary people, and even prayed for blessings. Some people throw small spiritual stones. "But he doesn't seem to be at a high level."
"Wei Wu State is a country where everyone is keen on cultivating immortals. Some powerful families will take their children to the Immortal Yuan Hall specially set up by Wei Wu State for these families when they reach the age where their children's spiritual roots can be tested to have their spiritual roots tested. For those who can detect their spiritual roots, they will start teaching basic cultivation theories at the age of ten and guide them to introduce Qi into the body. However, there are very few people who can successfully introduce Qi into the body. Most people can successfully introduce Qi into the body after joining a sect. Introduce Qi into the body." He Qianqing introduced.
"Are these people disciples of the sect?" Yang Yuyao was a little surprised. It would take several sects to accommodate so many people. But except for the famous Xuanzhen Sect, there are no famous sects in Weiwu State.
"Not entirely. Even if you are a disciple of a wealthy family, it is impossible for every descendant to have the opportunity to join the sect. Usually only those descendants who are particularly favored by the family are eligible to go to the sect. Most of them can only practice at home. Therefore, the realm will not be too high."
Normal monk practice requires that the spiritual energy in the body be circulated according to the heart formula every day, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth should be absorbed to expand the Dantian. Therefore, it is best to practice in a place with abundant spiritual energy. Each sect will be located in a place with abundant spiritual power and has its own unique practice method. Therefore, both the introduction of Qi into the body and the practice method are better than casual practice. In addition, in order to practice smoothly, monks will also take spiritual cleansing pills to purify their spiritual roots and make them of higher quality. They also take baths with rare medicinal materials to exercise. Although these resources are usually distributed together with the spiritual stones in the monthly fee. But the number is sparse and not enough to bring about essential changes in qualifications.
If you want to be one step ahead, you need to use more of these resources. Generally, sects will set up task points to exchange for them. At the same time, it can also be purchased directly through spiritual stones as part of the sect's income generation. In addition, there are foundation-building pills to help build the foundation, various magic weapons and magic weapons to assist in overcoming the tribulation, pills to consolidate the spiritual platform after the tribulation is completed, and so on.
It can be said that in today's world of immortal cultivation, as long as you have good foundation and abundant resources, you can completely rely on money to reach the realm of divine transformation. It’s just that the amount of money consumed is incalculable. Therefore, for most wealthy families, even if most of their heirs can practice cultivation, they can only select one or two children with particularly high-quality spiritual roots to devote their resources to. As for the other heirs, they either work hard in the sect, or they practice at home and help collect information to support the qualified clan members.
And for families like the Wang family and the Ye family that can be called immortal cultivators, there are many powerful people in the family. Even when the family was first established, several powerful people married each other, integrated resources, and over several generations Only after accumulation can these immortal cultivating families have the foundation to independently cultivate high-level monks.
"However, these people are not all such hard-working people. If many families had a family rule that they would be expelled if they could not practice or did not practice, there would be many fewer young masters and ladies who were monks." He Qianqing continued.
Yang Yuyao understood He Qianqing's hidden meaning. These people had superior family conditions and had no desire to practice. They only practiced reluctantly due to family regulations and the need for monk status. Therefore, these people's realm is the highest and they can only build the foundation.
"It can be seen that these people's families are very tolerant to them. Otherwise, they will definitely practice desperately to improve their realm." Yang Yuyao said.
"That's right." He Qianqing nodded. "Especially for those princes and their heirs, the lower the level, the better. At least on the surface."
"Royal power." Yang Yuyao said these two words softly. This is indeed one of the reasons that restricts these people from seeking a higher realm. Unlike the immortal cultivating families who are separated from the mortal affairs, these families still rely on the mortal world and serve Royal power naturally had to give up some things for this purpose, especially things that would arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Yang Yuyao shook his head, stopped thinking about these complicated relationships, and continued to focus on the temple fair. The statue of the God of Wealth, carried by eight strong men, had already passed the street below the teahouse where they were, and continued to move forward.
Following the statue of the God of Wealth was a man holding a huge flag on his head. The wooden pole as thick as a bowl was estimated to be ten meters long, plus a circle of red flags with a yellow rim. The weight is certainly impressive. However, the person performing the flag-bearing ceremony was just a mortal man. He held such a heavy flag on his head without any sway, as if it was part of his body.
Following closely behind the man holding the banner were a group of women dancing Yangko on stilts. They were dressed in red and green, gaudy but festive enough. Yang Yuyao was actually not sure whether they were dancing Yangko, but he just felt that the pace was similar to the people he saw dancing Yangko when watching the news in his original world.
"No wonder temple fairs are held every year in other parts of the world." Yang Yuyao suddenly understood people's enthusiasm for holding such events. The area where he originally lived would not hold such an event, and everyone basically entertained themselves during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, Yang Yuyao, who only learned about temple fairs held in other places from TV and mobile phones, could not understand the completely different feeling of going to watch them in person. It is so warm and joyful, as if any troubles coming here will make you happy.
"Would you like to visit other places?" He Qianqing suddenly asked through a voice message. By this time the parade had gone far.
"Okay." Yang Yuyao nodded and agreed.
They did not go to the City God's Temple to burn incense, but went directly to the market at the temple fair. Different from previous markets, there are more types of stalls here. Many of them are entertainment-oriented stalls that you don’t usually see. Yang Yuyao saw the traps and balloon stalls. It's just that the shelves of this balloon-playing stall are mostly made of wooden gadgets, and the ones used to hit them are baby-fist-sized sandbags sewn from linen and filled with sand. The rules are similar to playing with balloons. As long as you hit a wooden gadget with a sandbag, you can take it away.
"Can I participate?" Yang Yuyao looked at the gadgets from a distance for a long time, and finally stepped forward to ask the boss.
"When... this little immortal master, just tell us which one you like, and we will bring it to you directly." The boss was about to respond, but he quickly changed his mind after recognizing that Yang Yuyao was a monk. Although the two pennies he had here could only be spent ten times, he never thought that a monk would come back to patronize his stall. Even if he only gives ten sandbags, if he uses his spiritual power, one sandbag can wrap up all his goods. If he gets any stronger, he may not be able to maintain his dignity. In order to preserve the capital, he had to stop the loss immediately.
"I don't need to use spiritual power..." Yang Yuyao's smile was a little awkward for a moment. He immediately understood why the boss said this, and even if he didn't use spiritual power, it would be difficult for a mortal boss to judge him. Have you used it? He Qianqing also came over at this time and threw a silver ingot directly into the boss's arms.
"Let him play as much as he wants. Is this enough to buy everything in your stall?" He Qianqing asked.
"Enough, of course it's enough. Let the two immortal masters play slowly." The boss holding the silver ingot immediately smiled away and took out all the sandbags in the small straw basket. He even ignored the stall. He ran away without knowing where he was holding the silver ingot.
"Master..." Yang Yuyao, who didn't expect He Qianqing to come here, looked at He Qianqing with a troubled expression. He just saw that those wooden gadgets were interesting, and he didn't necessarily want to play with them on a whim. As a result, it's a bit embarrassing now that it has turned out like this.
"Xiao Yao, don't always refuse. Isn't it a natural thing to spend money on Taoist companions?" He Qianqing asked with a smile. He was surprised and surprised to find that Yang Yuyao's ears were slightly red.
"For some reason, I always feel like Master wants to take care of me." Yang Yuyao thought helplessly, and put away all the small wooden pieces on the shelf, leaving the stall to the stall owner who didn't know if he would return. host. As a result, he no longer had the idea of trying. After all, the scene was sealed for no apparent reason, and it was really embarrassing for a person to keep throwing sandbags stupidly.
So they left this stall and headed to the next one. Just as they passed a stall selling pancakes, a young man and woman quarreled and gradually approached them. Yang Yuyao decisively turned around to avoid it, but the woman suddenly rushed towards Yang Yuyao. He Qianqing stretched out his hand to stop Yang Yuyao from pushing her into his arms, easily avoiding the woman. Since no one was there to catch her, the woman faced the ground and fell into the mud, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
