Shennong Daojun

The fat ghost walked towards the golden light in a daze, and then the ghost shadow twisted and fell into the soul-guiding lamp.

Zhao Xing did not stop him when he saw this. This ghost money was too far away, and he had to ask about the whereabouts of the wealth. Maybe he would have to help the fat ghost fulfill his wish.

It was too troublesome. Zhao Xing came to make money from ghosts, and his main goal was to get rich instantly. If there were too many twists and turns, he might as well go back to farming.

In addition, this also involves the assessment of the temple staff. Thinking from his perspective, he was also unwilling to have outsiders interfere. There was no need to offend people for a little money.

"No hurry, there are many opportunities." Zhao Xing did not even look at it and quickly returned to the stall.

Xu Lao Ba finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Xing coming back. He was really afraid that Zhao Xing would never come back, and then gossip around and ruin the reputation of the river fishermen.

"Young Master asked me to wait for a long time, but he disappeared in a flash."

"Oh, I saw an acquaintance. Let's go to Nanhu District."

This perfunctory remark again, Xu Laoba didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that he was finally doing something serious, he immediately became energetic and picked up his tool to follow.

When they arrived at Nanhu District, it was still brightly lit, but the lights came more from the lake than from the ground.

The atmosphere also became quiet, without so many noisy sounds.

"Huh?" While walking along the bridge by the lake, Xu Laoba suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Oh, I saw an acquaintance." Xu Laoba waved his hand.

"..." Zhao Xing looked at him with a smile, and now it's your turn to perfunctory me, right?

But this is really a wrong accusation against Xu Laoba.

"Don't get me wrong, young master. I really saw an acquaintance. Did you see the woman in linen clothes in front? Yes, it's the one with the girl in white clothes next to her." Xu Laoba pointed in a direction.

"I saw it." Zhao Xing nodded. Not far away on the shore, there was a small boat with a mother and daughter on it. There were several fishing lights on the boat, and they seemed to be busy with something.

"Lin Sanniang from Pingsi Bay, from the same place as me. Her husband used to do this. Later, her husband had an accident, and she took over her husband and became the new river fisherman."

"But since her son got married and started a family, she no longer went into the water. She hasn't done it for some years. I don't know why she is doing it again today." Xu Laoba was a little confused.

Zhao Xing took a closer look. Under the spell of Mingmu, he saw that Xu Laoba was not lying. The middle-aged woman's dress and tools were similar to Xu Laoba's.

As for the young girl, she was dressed neatly, and her plain clothes were still a little shiny.

"Hmm? First-class robes?" Zhao Xing turned to look at Xu Laoba, "Is her daughter the Weaver Girl of the Weaving Bureau?"

Xu Laoba shook his head: "She has no daughter, that is her niece Lin Baiwei, but she is also half a daughter. She was raised by Lin Sanniang since she was a child. It seems that she did enter the Gucheng Weaving Bureau."

The Weaver Girl is an official of the Weaving Bureau. The Great Zhou has always been open-minded. It is common for women to go out to work and become officials.

The profession of the Weaver Girl is mainly to 'weave robes'. The Weaver Girl is even a relatively important magic profession.

Zhao Xing nodded slightly: "It seems that Lin Sanniang returned to her old job for her niece."

Xu Laoba asked: "How did you know, sir?"

Zhao Xing pointed and said: "Lin Sanniang didn't seem to be going to get any treasure, but to prepare to collect lake silk."

"Most of the assessments of the weaving supervisor are related to weaving robes."

"It is now the beginning of summer in August, and the ordinary first, second and last silkworms are gone."

"Only water silkworm lake silk can be collected, and the quality is better."

Seeing Xu Laoba's admiring look, Zhao Xing became interested and said a few more words: "The weaving girl has not been qualified, so most of them can only use this as material. The silk that is white, fine and tough is called Heluo robes."

"Wearing it is warm in winter and cool in summer, it can drive away rheumatism and cold, and can also make weak children grow healthily. ”

“The worse ones are the five-string robes, and the next best ones are the fat-light robes.”

“The ones made of lake silk are basically the Heluo robes, but the conditions for picking silk are harsh. Basically, they can only be found around the river lantern festival, and they must be found at night. During the day, the lake silkworms shrink and cannot be caught at all.”

“So I said that Lin Sanniang returned to her old job for her niece. On the contrary, you river fishers are more efficient.”

Xu Laoba couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard it: "Young Master knows a lot."

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Since you are an acquaintance, do you want to say hello? I'm not in a hurry."

Xu Laoba shook his head repeatedly: "Lin Sanniang has to take off her clothes when she goes into the water. What if I run into her... am I Xu Laoba that kind of person? No, no."

Zhao Xing smiled lightly, which was considered to be relieved about Xu Laoba.

Since there was a temple organizing an assessment on the shore, Zhao Xing rented a small boat to go into the water.

At this time, there were few people releasing river lanterns. There were still a few large ships and a dozen small boats on the water. The surface of the water was dotted with candlelight, and the surroundings were quiet.

Zhao Xing did not speak, but just listened and watched quietly.

He did not see a single person, but he saw a lot of wandering souls.

Some were lying beside the river lanterns, or swimming under them, sucking the yellow paper and incense.

These wandering souls may not all be human, some are the souls of aquatic creatures, or they are combined in strange shapes.

For example, when Zhao Xing's boat passed by a place, he saw a wandering soul with a fish head and a human body.

Even those who have lived for a long time will be cleaned up regularly by the clergy.

He can also hear:

"What are you doing?"

"I want to go over."

"What are you doing?"

"I want to go over."

A large river lantern not far away, two strange-looking wandering souls are mechanically talking, and they keep repeating these two sentences: one wants to go over, and the other asks what you are doing. Without the wisdom soul, only the soul is left, that's it.

Again, these wandering souls have no attack power, it is purely a natural phenomenon, and most of them will dissipate within seven days.

"Stop here." Zhao Xing suddenly pointed to a certain place.

Xu Lao Ba immediately rowed over, his eyes lit up: "Sir, this lake is clear, but there are many fish swimming. I'm afraid there are treasures attracting it. I'll go in the water and try."

"Yeah." Zhao Xing's bright eyes spell easily saw the bottom of the lake, and there were two first-grade Donghu pearls below.

The price is average, the market price is only one or two silver taels, and it can be sold more if it is good, but it will never exceed two taels.

The main reason is that Donghu is not short of this kind of stuff. If it can reach the second or third level, it can be sold at a good price.

As expected, Xu Laoba soon floated to the surface, holding a shiny egg-sized bead in his hand: "Sir, I caught two lake pearls!"

"Thank you, come up quickly." Zhao Xing took the beads. Both were first-class top-grade, which was almost a return on investment.

Before he had time to appreciate it too much, there were bursts of fine sounds in the wind.

"The light is so bright, it's really dazzling."

"Turtle, turtle, it's so cold there, it's freezing me, I want to stay away from it."
