Everyone thinks I'm going black
Chapter 54
For Jia Baoyu, Bo Yikao's entry into the group was a bit tasteless. According to the normal historical process, Bo Yikao had already been killed before the curtain of conferring the gods was really opened.Of course, for those who join the chat group, their fate is already in their own hands to a certain extent, but the problem is that although Jia Baoyu's side is not in a hurry, he wants to wait for Bo Yikao's side to seal the deal. The battle of gods started, and he didn't know when it happened. Therefore, he gave up the idea of copying his homework, and he should figure out a way by himself.
The south of Great Chu was a relatively wild place hundreds of years ago. It was not until the rise of the Hu people in the grassland that they posed a great threat to the Central Plains. They once occupied the northern part of the Central Plains, and the south developed to a large extent. After all, The southward migration of the gentry brought advanced culture and technology, so much so that nowadays, the literary style in the north is not as prosperous as in the south.In order to prevent the court from being full of ministers from the south, the imperial court even had to open the second list of north and south.
Although the imperial court said that it was quite dependent on the south in terms of taxes, in fact, its control over the south was not strong.To put it bluntly, there are still a lot of powerful landlords and even wealthy merchants in the south, and there are officials behind them. Therefore, the government in the south is not clear at all. Naturally, it is the people below who suffer, and their own land can only be donated. For those who raise people as Jinshi, either they will be robbed by tricks, and in the end, they will change from self-cultivated farmers to tenant farmers, and they will have to sell themselves as slaves in the event of a natural disaster!As for workmanship, even if the industry and commerce in the south is still relatively developed, but in this era, no matter how developed industry and commerce are, that is the case. After all, the consumers are mainly the upper class, and for the lower class, everyone is still a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, so that even the workshops It doesn't take a lot of hard work, and there is nowhere to sell it if you want to work hard.
The imperial court only collects taxes every year, as long as there is no rebellion in the south, they don't care.Now that demons are causing trouble, the rich and powerful families are naturally not afraid. Their family has a lot of servants and guards, full of blood, and ordinary evil spirits dare not come to the house.Unless it is a monster that is good at transforming into a human being and will not cause too bloody murders, otherwise, it will not enter the city at all.
In this way, it is natural that the people living in relatively remote places outside the city will suffer.
The population is born in the south, and the land resources are insufficient. Many people are so poor that they almost have nowhere to stand. As for those high-ranking families, even if they have a lot of land, they need limited tenants. Therefore, a large part of them lost their land. Farmers can't even sell themselves for a price.It can be said that the South is now sitting on the top of the barrel, and a spark can cause civil unrest.
As a result, the appearance of the monsters eased the contradictions, because these poor people who have no roof to cover their bodies and no ground to stand on are the easiest food for those monsters. Now that people are gone, the contradictions are naturally gone.
The government suppressed all such things. As for the reduced taxes due to the decrease in population, they were naturally distributed to the living people, but they had no choice but to rely on the local people in order not to become the prey of demons. Big family.
"This day is really about to change!" After seeing such a scene, Jia Baoyu was full of resentment, but he was helpless. After all, even if he had all kinds of supernatural powers, how could he still make those poor people more happy? It's impossible to give a few mu of land, I'm afraid that if it is here, it will be snatched away by someone.
Faced with such a situation, Lin Daiyu also quickly matured. In the past, she might only know about romance and indulge in her own thoughts, but now, after seeing the following tragic situations, Lin Daiyu suddenly understood, Even if there were no monsters, Da Chu was already dying of illness.
"Let's go. I heard that there is a mountain in the north of the city. There is a Lanruo Temple on the mountain. It should be called some kind of monster. Many passers-by have no bones left. Let's go and see what's going on!" Jia Baoyu exhaled Depressed, he let out a long sigh.
When the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, Jia Baoyu felt a sword intent soaring into the sky, he couldn't help but let out a "huh" and said, "It seems that someone has already taken the initiative?"
Lin Daiyu said: "Didn't you want to contact various sects before, but there was no reason before, and now someone is leading the way, why don't you get to know each other!"
After pondering for a while, Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "That's right, let's get to know each other then!"
In the heavenly court, there are actually very few immortals ascending from the lower realms. After all, there are only so many cultivators in this small world. The human world is respected as the ancestor, so, in the heavenly court, the number of these immortals who ascended is very small, and they have no powers. Go, the ancestors who have their own lineage will arrange for them. Obviously, the good things are still not their turn. After all, I don’t know how many generations of disciples and grandchildren. This also led to everyone's unwillingness to ascend later.
But the Heavenly Court moved away without warning, and the immortals who ascended before were also taken away. They cared about the orthodoxy of the lower realm, but they only left vague words.However, this has ruined several sects.
Human monks, a long time ago, when the aura was relatively strong, everyone naturally attributed their mighty power to themselves. Generally, they were thinking about a golden core conceived in the body. .But then the concentration of aura began to decline, and the Danding School naturally declined, and it was replaced by the Fulu School.The so-called Talisman Sect actually condenses its own mana into talisman seeds. With these seeds, it borrows the power of the patriarch of the upper realm or the gods enshrined to nurture its own mana. Well, borrowing more divine power, it is not impossible to leapfrog to fight.
But now that the court is running away, the Danding Sect is fine, and the Talisman Sect has been tricked. Except for a few who have practiced to a certain level, barely enough to be able to condense magic talismans on their own, the other disciples have mana. The state can't be maintained anymore. When fighting martial arts, it is really possible to save as much as possible. Many sects simply closed the gates of the mountains, and they are not willing to go out.
As for the sword cultivator, it is not considered prosperous in this world. The root of the sword cultivator is a natal spirit sword. Improve the material of your natal spirit sword, otherwise, your natal spirit sword might not be able to keep up with your cultivation, and if something goes wrong with your natal spirit sword, you will suffer heavy injuries.
And being able to become a sword cultivator is naturally not an easy task. You must have talent, inheritance, and most importantly, money!I don't have money to be a bad swordsman.
As a result, the first time he saw Yan Chixia, Jia Baoyu felt that he probably saw a fake sword fairy.Think about how elegant Qinglian Sword Immortal was back then, but Yan Chixia, apart from good wine, has nothing in common with Qinglian Sword Immortal.Yan Chixia looks very rough, with beards all over her face, and she doesn't look like a fairy in her clothes. She looks like an ordinary martial artist in the Jianghu, even the heads of those escort agencies are quite inferior.
However, Jia Baoyu is no longer the temperament of judging people by their appearance in the past. After seeing the appearance for the first time, Jia Baoyu felt the sharp sword intent in Yan Chixia's body that could not be hidden at all.Yan Chixia frowned when she saw a young couple with outstanding looks going up the mountain hand in hand, and said directly: "The temple on this mountain has been abandoned for a long time, if you want to come here to pray to gods and Buddha, you are in the wrong place , while the sky is still dark, hurry down the mountain!"
But Jia Baoyu saluted, and said: "Shanye casual cultivator Shi Ying has met Taoist friends!" Jia Baoyu didn't have a Taoist name, so he thought he was a disciple of Shangqing, but Shangqing didn't admit it, Jia Baoyu I also feel a little guilty in my heart, and it is not good to directly use the name of the Shangqing lineage. On the one hand, the pseudonym Shi Ying was kicked out of the house by Jia Zheng, and on the other hand, I was also worried that the Jia family would be retaliated by demons for this reason. Shi is the surname, borrowing the name from the previous life as the name.
When Yan Chixia heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly returned a salute: "So it's my fellow Taoist. Yan Chixia from Kunlun has met Fellow Daoist Shi! I wonder who this is?"
Lin Daiyu also saluted: "Jiangzhu has met Taoist Yan!" Jia Baoyu interjected: "Jiangzhu is my lay cousin and my Taoist companion!" Lin Daiyu blushed when she heard this, and secretly twisted Jia Baoyu But Jia Baoyu looked calm.
Yan Chixia laughed: "The virtuous couple are both talented and beautiful, they really match! I don't know if the virtuous couple came here to kill the tree demon on the mountain?"
Jia Baoyu was thoughtful: "So it's a tree demon? I just heard that there are demons making trouble here, so I came with my cousin!"
Yan Chixia feels that her cultivation is not bad, but she can't see the reality of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu at all. It seems that these two people are like the sons and daughters of rich and noble families in the world, knowing that the other's morals are probably far away. They are far better than themselves, so naturally they dare not really think of them as casual cultivators in the mountains, so I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
While thinking about it, Yan Chixia said: "The tree demon here is a big locust tree. It doesn't come out during the day, but it raises many female ghosts to help her seduce merchants. These merchants are captured by female ghosts. Bewildered, I was bewitched by the female ghost before I knew it, and my flesh and blood became the blood food of the dryad!"
Speaking of this, Yan Chixia was also helpless: "This tree demon is extremely obedient. After I caught him for the first time, he hid his body in the mountains and forests. He just drove those female ghosts to do evil. I will guard here. It has been seven days, and the dryad and female ghost have no intention of showing their faces!"
Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "Your fellow Daoist Yan is a high-ranking disciple of Kunlun, no wonder the tree demon is afraid!"
Yan Chixia couldn't help but shook her head when she heard this, and said, "What kind of Kunlun disciple am I? My lineage bears the name of Kunlun. In fact, the master-student lineage is a single lineage, and the relationship with the other lines is not close! That tree demon wasn't afraid of me, but he didn't notice before, he was injured by the thunder method I induced, and now he is recuperating in secret. When he recovers from his injury, he will definitely make a comeback! I don’t know how many people will be killed! It’s a pity that my major is swordsmanship, and I am not proficient in thunder, otherwise, I should have ruined the life of that tree demon before.”
While talking, Yan Chixia took Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu to Lanruo Temple.
Lanruo Temple was originally an ancient temple for hundreds of years, but it was abandoned more than a hundred years ago. It is said that for some unknown reason, the monks in Lanruo Temple died cleanly. At that time, it was not long after the founding of the country. The government was clear and bright, and local officials also came to check, but nothing was found. In the end, the strongman had to close the case by destroying the temple for the property in the temple.Some people secretly said that Lanruo Temple suppressed a big monster, and the big monster broke free from the seal and ran away. Before leaving, Lanruo Temple was completely killed. Therefore, no monks came to continue to preside over Lanruo Temple.
Today's Lanruo Temple is so deserted that the Buddha statues that were originally enshrined are no longer visible. It is said that the Buddha statues in the main hall were cast in copper at that time. This thing is money, so the Buddha statues were dragged away early and melted into copper coins. , and those clay sculptures such as Tianwang Luohan and the like did not survive. The gold powder on them was scraped clean. The murals can also remind people of the prosperity of the past.
The main hall of Lanruo Temple collapsed a long time ago, not because the construction was cutting corners, but because it was built too well. Both the pillars and the beams were made of good wood, so they were demolished one after another. Not even the door was spared.When faced with benefits, even believers who originally claimed to be believers in men and women do not mind taking advantage of it.On the contrary, those ignorant people, worried that the gods and Buddhas would blame them, at most just got some rotten wood from the ruins and went back to use them as firewood.
After a while, the place that was originally used as a monk's house was still intact, but it was only relatively intact. The doors and windows had long been tattered, and there were air leaks everywhere.As for Yan Chixia, she just found a monk's house that was still sheltered from the wind.
At this moment, Yan Chixia directly moved a few stones over to serve as seats, and said: "There is nothing in this wilderness, so let's just make do with it!" As he spoke, he patted his waist sadly. Gourd, sighed: "Because of this tree demon, I haven't come down the mountain for so many years, I have a little base left in a gourd of wine, and I dare not drink it casually, otherwise, I, a wine worm, can't suppress it!"
Lin Daiyu had seldom seen such a person with such a strong atmosphere in the world before, but seeing Yan Chixia's interesting words, she also smiled.
Jia Baoyu also wanted to laugh, he took out two jars of wine from the Qiankun bag, took out a few wine bottles, and said, "If you don't mind fellow Taoist Yan, I still have some wine here!"
Yan Chixia twitched her nostrils, and immediately revealed a look of intoxication: "Hey, it's actually a 20-year-old Huadiao. It's been a long time since I've had it!" Good wine, I can only fool myself with some dirty wine in those wild shops. The wine that Jia Baoyu brought out was actually brewed by a few love ghosts in the illusory realm. Some of them were born as mortals. Yes, there are also those who have reincarnated as mortals several times, but most of them died young, so all the stuffing is Huadiao.There is also a reason for this. In the south of the Yangtze River, when their children are born, some people who are a bit particular will make wine. When the children get married, they will drink it. The name, naturally became Huadiao.However, this is also the custom in the past. Nowadays, if you want to distinguish the name of the wine, you need to look at the jar, Zhuangyuanhong, Nvnuhong and Huadiao. Outside, you usually distinguish it by the appearance of the wine jar.
Yan Chixia was not interested in Jia Baoyu's Qiankun bag, but she was very concerned about Huadiao wine. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and raised a thumbs up to Jia Baoyu: "Friend Daoist Shi is really generous, I, Yan Chi Xia likes to associate with people like you the most! Since Fellow Daoist Shi sincerely invites you, then I, Yan, will not be polite!" Saying this, Yan Chixia first poured out some residual wine in her gourd, Then, I pointed my finger at the wine jar, and the slightly viscous amber liquid turned into a stream of water and flew into the gourd. Almost full.
Yan Chixia didn't show any embarrassment at all, she just smiled and said: "Today, I'm partial to the good wine of fellow daoist, if fellow daoist Shi makes good wine, then I, Yan, will serve the appetizers!" , Yan Chixia took out a few oil paper bags wrapped in lotus leaves from her sleeves, but inside were sauced beef, sauced duck, braised goose and other lo-mei.
Yan Chixia said with some complacency: "I did all of these by myself. I am gluttonous by nature. When I was in Kunlun, other people were usually vegetarians. I was afraid that I would get a little bit of mortal dust, but I didn't shy away from it." These. When I was a child, my family was so poor that I didn’t even have a pair of extra trousers. At that time, I was thinking about food all year round, and having a piece of meat was really happier than New Year’s Eve! So, after I practiced, I often sneak down the mountain to buy some meat to eat! However, there are many rules on the mountain, and it is not easy to go down the mountain once. I raised some chickens, ducks and geese on the top of the mountain. Eat it, and after making a lot of it, you will gain experience! These marinated ingredients are prepared by myself, and the taste is not inferior to those century-old restaurants. If you two fellow Taoists don’t mind it, you may as well try it!”
Yan Chixia is a straightforward person. Similarly, he is not without the slightest wink. If Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had been condescending and disdainful when they came up with him, then he would definitely not make such a move. It is pampered, but it seems that even if it is very particular at first glance, Lin Daiyu, who is like a fairy who eats wind and drink dew, has no intention of disgusting him when she sits on a stone. The monk's dormitory is really not neat, so people don't dislike it, and they probably won't dislike the stewed pork they made.
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu really didn't mean to dislike them. They had seen too many things these days. If they disliked everything, they might as well stay in the illusory realm and wait for death.What's more, Yan Chixia looks like a rough person, but she is not sloppy.
Jia Baoyu took a few branches, cut them into three pairs of chopsticks, handed a pair to Lin Daiyu, then gave a pair to Yan Chixia, took a piece of sauced beef with the chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then, Jia Baoyu He raised his thumb, swallowed the beef, and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, if you don't practice Taoism, it's not bad to be a chef in the world!"
Yan Chixia laughed, and said: "After I went down the mountain, I traveled around the world. In the beginning, I joined the public as a policeman in order to earn money. If I quit, I will have no money later, so I will go to a place like the pier to sell braised pork, or find a part-time job in a restaurant, hey, my craft can still make a lot of money.”
Seeing Yan Chixia's beaming appearance, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu looked at each other. Such a monk is quite rare. Under normal circumstances, even if a monk lacks yellow and white things, he will not put down his figure like this and engage in this kind of work in the world. A kind of job similar to lowly slavery.In fact, under normal circumstances, monks do not lack these at all. They can easily explore ore veins, and it is not difficult at all to extract some gold, silver, copper and iron.As for some cultivators, they don’t have the ability to survey ore veins, and they will even deceive their eyes, or spend half-hearted methods of turning stones into gold in the world. There are even some monks who use them from some abandoned old houses or even the tombs of mortals. The method of transporting the five ghosts, making some money and ancient objects, does not have the slightest moral burden on the monks.After all, after death, most of them are reincarnated, and those who cannot be reincarnated will not need those funerary objects in the underworld. Instead of sinking them into the ground, it is better to give them emergency services.
But thinking about Yan Chixia being a swordsman, I'm afraid that even if any minerals were mined, they would all be stuffed into her spirit sword, not to mention that he is greedy for food and is familiar with the rules of the world. There are many things that can't be done, so it's no wonder he chooses these ways to make money.
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu admired Yan Chixia more and more, Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Your fellow Taoist Yan is indeed a wonderful person, you should be able to explain why!" He poured himself a bottle of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Yan Chixia laughed: "I knew that you are not that kind of ordinary people. Although you are all monks, but the monks are also made of mortals. You have not yet become immortals, and you all put on high airs, wishing to touch the dust of the mortal world. Don't touch it anymore, even if you are a fairy, you still have a character, and you have cultivated so much that you have no sense of humanity, so what's the point!" As she said, Yan Chixia took the chopsticks and tapped the wine bottle, and she went out of her way. The earth sang loudly: "If the sky does not love wine, the star of wine is not in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, the earth should have no spring of wine..."
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had a feeling for a moment, and they also sang in time, which only shook the dust from the roof, but it didn't fall on them, and was blown away by the magic power.
Yan Chixia drank a few glasses of wine, and then she calmed down, and said with a smile: "I was the one who complained just now, don't blame the virtuous couple!"
Jia Baoyu's heart moved, and he said: "Our husband and wife are both from casual cultivators. Before that, we were practicing overseas. Later, seeing that things were not right, we returned to the Central Plains. Many things are not clear. Fellow Daoist Yan was born in Kunlun. Why don't you tell us about the situation of the various sects in the Central Plains?"
Yan Chixia was not surprised to hear that Jia Baoyu claimed to be an overseas casual cultivator. Although he had been away from Kunlun for many years, he still knew a little about the situation of each sect. Which sect had such outstanding figures, he should at least have What he heard was right, so he put down the wine bottle, pondered for a while and said: "What the Xian couple said is wrong, probably because they feel that they can't contact the gods of heaven."
The south of Great Chu was a relatively wild place hundreds of years ago. It was not until the rise of the Hu people in the grassland that they posed a great threat to the Central Plains. They once occupied the northern part of the Central Plains, and the south developed to a large extent. After all, The southward migration of the gentry brought advanced culture and technology, so much so that nowadays, the literary style in the north is not as prosperous as in the south.In order to prevent the court from being full of ministers from the south, the imperial court even had to open the second list of north and south.

Therefore, the government in the south is not clear at all. Naturally, it is the people below who suffer, and their own land can only be donated. For those who raise people as Jinshi, either they will be robbed by tricks, and in the end, they will change from self-cultivated farmers to tenant farmers, and they will have to sell themselves as slaves in the event of a natural disaster!As for workmanship, even if the industry and commerce in the south is still relatively developed, but in this era, no matter how developed industry and commerce are, that is the case. After all, the consumers are mainly the upper class, and for the lower class, everyone is still a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, so that even the workshops It doesn't take a lot of hard work, and there is nowhere to sell it if you want to work hard.
The imperial court only collects taxes every year, as long as there is no rebellion in the south, they don't care.Now that demons are causing trouble, the rich and powerful families are naturally not afraid. Their family has a lot of servants and guards, full of blood, and ordinary evil spirits dare not come to the house.Unless it is a monster that is good at transforming into a human being and will not cause too bloody murders, otherwise, it will not enter the city at all.
In this way, it is natural that the people living in relatively remote places outside the city will suffer.

Farmers can't even sell themselves for a price.It can be said that the South is now sitting on the top of the barrel, and a spark can cause civil unrest.
As a result, the appearance of the monsters eased the contradictions, because these poor people who have no roof to cover their bodies and no ground to stand on are the easiest food for those monsters. Now that people are gone, the contradictions are naturally gone.
The government suppressed all such things. As for the reduced taxes due to the decrease in population, they were naturally distributed to the living people, but they had no choice but to rely on the local people in order not to become the prey of demons. Big family.
"This day is really about to change!" After seeing such a scene, Jia Baoyu was full of resentment, but he was helpless. After all, even if he had all kinds of supernatural powers, how could he still make those poor people more happy? It's impossible to give a few mu of land, I'm afraid that if it is here, it will be snatched away by someone.
Faced with such a situation, Lin Daiyu also quickly matured. In the past, she might only know about romance and indulge in her own thoughts, but now, after seeing the following tragic situations, Lin Daiyu suddenly understood, Even if there were no monsters, Da Chu was already dying of illness.
"Let's go. I heard that there is a mountain in the north of the city. There is a Lanruo Temple on the mountain. It should be called some kind of monster. Many passers-by have no bones left. Let's go and see what's going on!" Jia Baoyu exhaled Depressed, he let out a long sigh.
When the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, Jia Baoyu felt a sword intent soaring into the sky, he couldn't help but let out a "huh" and said, "It seems that someone has already taken the initiative?"

While talking, Yan Chixia took Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu to Lanruo Temple.
Lanruo Temple was originally an ancient temple for hundreds of years, but it was abandoned more than a hundred years ago. It is said that for some unknown reason, the monks in Lanruo Temple died cleanly. At that time, it was not long after the founding of the country. The government was clear and bright, and local officials also came to check, but nothing was found. In the end, the strongman had to close the case by destroying the temple for the property in the temple.Some people secretly said that Lanruo Temple suppressed a big monster, and the big monster broke free from the seal and ran away. Before leaving, Lanruo Temple was completely killed. Therefore, no monks came to continue to preside over Lanruo Temple.
Today's Lanruo Temple is so deserted that the Buddha statues that were originally enshrined are no longer visible. It is said that the Buddha statues in the main hall were cast in copper at that time. This thing is money, so the Buddha statues were dragged away early and melted into copper coins. , and those clay sculptures such as Tianwang Luohan and the like did not survive. The gold powder on them was scraped clean. The murals can also remind people of the prosperity of the past.
The main hall of Lanruo Temple collapsed a long time ago, not because the construction was cutting corners, but because it was built too well. Both the pillars and the beams were made of good wood, so they were demolished one after another. Not even the door was spared.When faced with benefits, even believers who originally claimed to be believers in men and women do not mind taking advantage of it.On the contrary, those ignorant people, worried that the gods and Buddhas would blame them, at most just got some rotten wood from the ruins and went back to use them as firewood.
After a while, the place that was originally used as a monk's house was still intact, but it was only relatively intact. The doors and windows had long been tattered, and there were air leaks everywhere.As for Yan Chixia, she just found a monk's house that was still sheltered from the wind.
At this moment, Yan Chixia directly moved a few stones over to serve as seats, and said: "There is nothing in this wilderness, so let's just make do with it!" As he spoke, he patted his waist sadly. Gourd, sighed: "Because of this tree demon, I haven't come down the mountain for so many years, I have a little base left in a gourd of wine, and I dare not drink it casually, otherwise, I, a wine worm, can't suppress it!"
Lin Daiyu had seldom seen such a person with such a strong atmosphere in the world before, but seeing Yan Chixia's interesting words, she also smiled.
Jia Baoyu also wanted to laugh, he took out two jars of wine from the Qiankun bag, took out a few wine bottles, and said, "If you don't mind fellow Taoist Yan, I still have some wine here!"
Yan Chixia twitched her nostrils, and immediately revealed a look of intoxication: "Hey, it's actually a 20-year-old Huadiao. It's been a long time since I've had it!" Good wine, I can only fool myself with some dirty wine in those wild shops. The wine that Jia Baoyu brought out was actually brewed by a few love ghosts in the illusory realm. Some of them were born as mortals. Yes, there are also those who have reincarnated as mortals several times, but most of them died young, so all the stuffing is Huadiao.There is also a reason for this. In the south of the Yangtze River, when their children are born, some people who are a bit particular will make wine. When the children get married, they will drink it. The name, naturally became Huadiao.However, this is also the custom in the past. Nowadays, if you want to distinguish the name of the wine, you need to look at the jar, Zhuangyuanhong, Nvnuhong and Huadiao. Outside, you usually distinguish it by the appearance of the wine jar.
Yan Chixia was not interested in Jia Baoyu's Qiankun bag, but she was very concerned about Huadiao wine. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and raised a thumbs up to Jia Baoyu: "Friend Daoist Shi is really generous, I, Yan Chi Xia likes to associate with people like you the most! Since Fellow Daoist Shi sincerely invites you, then I, Yan, will not be polite!" Saying this, Yan Chixia first poured out some residual wine in her gourd, Then, I pointed my finger at the wine jar, and the slightly viscous amber liquid turned into a stream of water and flew into the gourd. Almost full.
Yan Chixia didn't show any embarrassment at all, she just smiled and said: "Today, I'm partial to the good wine of fellow daoist, if fellow daoist Shi makes good wine, then I, Yan, will serve the appetizers!" , Yan Chixia took out a few oil paper bags wrapped in lotus leaves from her sleeves, but inside were sauced beef, sauced duck, braised goose and other lo-mei.
Yan Chixia said with some complacency: "I did all of these by myself. I am gluttonous by nature. When I was in Kunlun, other people were usually vegetarians. I was afraid that I would get a little bit of mortal dust, but I didn't shy away from it." These. When I was a child, my family was so poor that I didn’t even have a pair of extra trousers. At that time, I was thinking about food all year round, and having a piece of meat was really happier than New Year’s Eve! So, after I practiced, I often sneak down the mountain to buy some meat to eat! However, there are many rules on the mountain, and it is not easy to go down the mountain once. I raised some chickens, ducks and geese on the top of the mountain. Eat it, and after making a lot of it, you will gain experience! These marinated ingredients are prepared by myself, and the taste is not inferior to those century-old restaurants. If you two fellow Taoists don’t mind it, you may as well try it!”
Yan Chixia is a straightforward person. Similarly, he is not without the slightest wink. If Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had been condescending and disdainful when they came up with him, then he would definitely not make such a move. It is pampered, but it seems that even if it is very particular at first glance, Lin Daiyu, who is like a fairy who eats wind and drink dew, has no intention of disgusting him when she sits on a stone. The monk's dormitory is really not neat, so people don't dislike it, and they probably won't dislike the stewed pork they made.
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu really didn't mean to dislike them. They had seen too many things these days. If they disliked everything, they might as well stay in the illusory realm and wait for death.What's more, Yan Chixia looks like a rough person, but she is not sloppy.
Jia Baoyu took a few branches, cut them into three pairs of chopsticks, handed a pair to Lin Daiyu, then gave a pair to Yan Chixia, took a piece of sauced beef with the chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then, Jia Baoyu He raised his thumb, swallowed the beef, and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, if you don't practice Taoism, it's not bad to be a chef in the world!"
Yan Chixia laughed, and said: "After I went down the mountain, I traveled around the world. In the beginning, I joined the public as a policeman in order to earn money. If I quit, I will have no money later, so I will go to a place like the pier to sell braised pork, or find a part-time job in a restaurant, hey, my craft can still make a lot of money.”
Seeing Yan Chixia's beaming appearance, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu looked at each other. Such a monk is quite rare. Under normal circumstances, even if a monk lacks yellow and white things, he will not put down his figure like this and engage in this kind of work in the world. A kind of job similar to lowly slavery.In fact, under normal circumstances, monks do not lack these at all. They can easily explore ore veins, and it is not difficult at all to extract some gold, silver, copper and iron.As for some cultivators, they don’t have the ability to survey ore veins, and they will even deceive their eyes, or spend half-hearted methods of turning stones into gold in the world. There are even some monks who use them from some abandoned old houses or even the tombs of mortals. The method of transporting the five ghosts, making some money and ancient objects, does not have the slightest moral burden on the monks.After all, after death, most of them are reincarnated, and those who cannot be reincarnated will not need those funerary objects in the underworld. Instead of sinking them into the ground, it is better to give them emergency services.
But thinking about Yan Chixia being a swordsman, I'm afraid that even if any minerals were mined, they would all be stuffed into her spirit sword, not to mention that he is greedy for food and is familiar with the rules of the world. There are many things that can't be done, so it's no wonder he chooses these ways to make money.
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu admired Yan Chixia more and more, Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Your fellow Taoist Yan is indeed a wonderful person, you should be able to explain why!" He poured himself a bottle of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Yan Chixia laughed: "I knew that you are not that kind of ordinary people. Although you are all monks, but the monks are also made of mortals. You have not yet become immortals, and you all put on high airs, wishing to touch the dust of the mortal world. Don't touch it anymore, even if you are a fairy, you still have a character, and you have cultivated so much that you have no sense of humanity, so what's the point!" As she said, Yan Chixia took the chopsticks and tapped the wine bottle, and she went out of her way. The earth sang loudly: "If the sky does not love wine, the star of wine is not in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, the earth should have no spring of wine..."
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had a feeling for a moment, and they also sang in time, which only shook the dust from the roof, but it didn't fall on them, and was blown away by the magic power.
Yan Chixia drank a few glasses of wine, and then she calmed down, and said with a smile: "I was the one who complained just now, don't blame the virtuous couple!"
Jia Baoyu's heart moved, and he said: "Our husband and wife are both from casual cultivators. Before that, we were practicing overseas. Later, seeing that things were not right, we returned to the Central Plains. Many things are not clear. Fellow Daoist Yan was born in Kunlun. Why don't you tell us about the situation of the various sects in the Central Plains?"
Yan Chixia was not surprised to hear that Jia Baoyu claimed to be an overseas casual cultivator. Although he had been away from Kunlun for many years, he still knew a little about the situation of each sect. Which sect had such outstanding figures, he should at least have What he heard was right, so he put down the wine bottle, pondered for a while and said: "What the Xian couple said is wrong, probably because they feel that they can't contact the gods of heaven."
