Holy Bone

Chapter 844 That's why we need more peace and prosperity

Although Jin An is already in the third realm, he has not separated himself from the world of mortals. He still retains many living habits and looks approachable, as if he is not the third realm, but just an ordinary person.

There is a kind of person called Dayin Yin Yushi, who is a person like Jin An who is not stick to mud.

For example, when I went to the Taoist temple early in the morning, Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and Fatty Li squatted at the entrance of the Taoist temple, chewing tooth wood and dipping willow branches into the stove charcoal ash for brushing teeth.

In the past, Fatty Li's position was Chijian, but now Chijian's whereabouts have been unknown, hey.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

After rinsing his mouth, Jin An went out to pick up money today... to buy breakfast.

After returning to the Taoist temple, put away the gourd ladle, and wash your face with refreshing well water, Jin An asked the two of them what they want to eat?
The old Taoist said that he had been sweating a lot while sleeping recently. He wondered if it was night sweats due to kidney yin deficiency. He wanted to eat steamed buns with leeks to replenish Yang Qi.

Fatty Li thought for a while and said that he, like Chen Daochang, has been sweating every night lately, and he also wants to eat steamed buns with leeks.

Jin An looked at the two of them speechlessly: "It's the biggest abnormality to sleep without sweating in summer! Eat steamed buns with leeks early in the morning in summer, and you won't be afraid of getting too hot!"

"Speaking of dryness and heat, it's been a long time since I ate the peaches my little brother stole. It's just enough to quench my thirst." The old Taoist said with a full face.

Jin'an chased away the old Taoist priest: "I am the venerable of the three realms, and I am ashamed of this way."

The old Taoist: "But the strong in the three realms still have to eat, drink and sleep."

Fatty Li nodded frantically beside him, saying that I have never eaten peaches stolen by Daoist Jin'an, and this matter will never be publicized today, I swear to God.

Hehe, you should give up on this idea. As Jin An was about to go out to bring breakfast for the two of them, just as Jin An was about to go out, the old Taoist chased him out from behind, saying that since he had firmly established roots in Jiangzhou Mansion , Recently, the talisman paper used for drawing talismans is quite expensive, so he went out with Jin An to purchase yellow talismans.

Jin An, who had already reached the entrance of the Taoist temple, looked at the old Taoist priest with a shocked face. Could this old Taoist priest know mind reading skills?Otherwise, how would he know that he is tired of steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk recently, and wants to eat haggis noodles for breakfast today!

Seeing Jin An's shocked expression, the old Taoist blinked, smiled wretchedly, and deliberately lowered his voice so that the goats in the backyard could not hear: "When the little brother was talking about what to eat for breakfast, he took a look at the greedy sheep. I know that little brother, you are thinking about the fat and tender lamb."

The old Taoist priest twisted his beard and smiled, he looked like an out-of-the-world expert, if he was paired with a dust whisk, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the old Taoist priest descended to the mortal world. , the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes are a bit heavier, and I usually look a little out of tune.

There was nothing to say, Jin An gave a thumbs up, convinced, and then left Fatty Li to work hard to guard the Taoist temple, and the two went out to have breakfast.

This is called making the best use of everything. Fatty Li eats, drinks, and lives in the Taoist temple of the five internal organs every day, and he always has to pay some labor in return.

Just when Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked out of the Taoist temple noisily like a pair of living treasures, and disappeared at the corner of the street, two small heads poked out from a small alley, they were the brother and sister who left Gu'er Village.

The clothes on the brothers and sisters were even more worn out, they were even thinner, and there were many bruises on their exposed arms. Perhaps it was because they were too hungry. It doesn't seem easy to be hungry.It is conceivable that the brother and sister had suffered a lot along the way from Gu'er Village to Fucheng.

This pair of brothers and sisters are unkempt, with dark faces, like refugees and beggars. Everyone despises them and doesn't want to get close. In fact, this is a way of self-protection.

"Brother, is he really the Daoist Jin'an that Grandpa Lizheng said has great abilities and sounds more powerful than our master? Why do I feel that he is no different from ordinary people?" The younger sister timidly hid behind her elder brother. Behind her, the big eyes with long eyelashes blinked, looking innocent, cute and innocent.

He was only a head taller than his younger sister, and he was so hungry that his little brother imitated the mature appearance of a young adult, thinking and said: "Grandpa Lizheng is a good person, he won't lie to us, we just listen to Grandpa Lizheng." Regarding the description of Daoist Jin'an's appearance, maybe he is not Daoist Jin'an..."

The siblings were referring to the scene of the three of Jin An squatting at the door brushing their teeth with a worldly atmosphere, and the scene of Jin An and the old Taoist sneaking around for a bowl of haggis noodles.

Before the Five Viscera Taoist Temple opened, they were already wandering around, observing.

"Brother, we finally came to Fucheng, why did you stop me from going to the Taoist temple?" The younger sister, who was not yet seven or eight years old, looked at her brother puzzled.

The elder brother said with a sullen face, "The adult's world is all lies."

The younger sister let out a ignorant disappointment, and at this moment, her stomach growled. Even though she tried to tighten her stomach with a hemp rope, the younger sister who hadn't eaten for a day still screamed uncontrollably.

The younger sister is very sensible, and she didn't argue about being hungry, but just tightened her stomach again with her immature hands.

The elder brother looked at the younger sister with pity, took out two polished copper characters from his arms, and said happily: "Brother, take the younger sister to eat breakfast."

My sister giggled happily, and then asked my brother in a childish voice: "Brother, where did you get the copper coins?"

Brother: "This is my reward from kind people when I went to the wharf to help the driver push the cart uphill yesterday while my little sister was asleep."

The younger sister looked at her brother adoringly: "Brother, you are so amazing."

The older brother wiped his nose like a grown-up, and then led his younger sister to buy buns to eat.

Jiangzhou Prefecture is a land of fish and rice, so the prices here are cheaper than those in Wuzhou Prefecture. White-faced steamed buns without stuffing cost a penny each. My brother stood in front of the steaming steamer and tried to stand on tiptoe to buy it from the steamed stuffed bun stall owner. Two white flour steamed buns.

The white flour steamed buns that had just come out of the cage were hot, so the elder brother broke open the white flour steamed buns, took half of it for himself, and gave the remaining one and a half to the younger sister.

"Little sister's injury hasn't healed yet. Eat enough to heal her injury better."

The younger sister refused, and stubbornly gave the other half to my brother, saying that you must be hungrier than me if you help people push carts to make money.

The elder brother pretended to be okay and patted his stomach, saying that the elder brother was really not hungry, so you can eat as much as you want, younger sister.

The younger sister was angry and insisted that her brother eat it.

While the brother and sister were pushing half a steamed bun, a woman dressed in gold and silver and with a nose looking up at the sky came to the bun stall to buy buns. When it fell, half of the white flour steamed bun fell to the ground and was crushed by her, leaving mud marks.

The little girl shed big tears, heartbroken, and went to hold the white flour steamed buns that were trampled by the soles of her shoes on the ground.

"Where did the two little beggars come from? Their eyes are not good at such a young age, don't they have eyesight when they walk! Look at the fact that you have stained my newly bought Xiuluoge water flowers, do you have money to pay for it! "The shrew was so vitriolic that she spurted blood as soon as she opened her mouth.

The younger sister is timid and cowardly, she lowered her head and hurriedly said I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, and raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes.

"Are you thieves! Hit me on purpose! I saw you stinky beggars like thieves with dirty hands and feet. You didn't learn well at a young age!" The shrew continued to yell meanly, attracting passers-by to watch.

Seeing his sister being knocked down, the elder brother protected the younger sister, staring at the shrew with unconvinced eyes: "We are not thieves!"

Seeing that a little beggar dared to talk back to her, the shrew's words became even more unpleasant, and she yelled: "You little beggar dare to talk back! How can you get money to buy buns to fill your stomach if you don't steal money?"

"We never stole other people's money!" My brother yelled stubbornly.

Some passers-by couldn't stand it anymore, and said that you should not go too far. It was indeed you who knocked down their brother and sister just now, and I can testify.

"I can also testify that you knocked that poor kid down first."

"You can testify against me, too."

Even the owner of the steamed stuffed bun stand took the initiative to testify for the brothers and sisters.

Seeing that so many people were speaking for the two little beggars, the shrew became furious and wanted to slap the little boy in the street, bang!

The shrew's wrist was tightly bound by one hand, hanging in the air without falling.

The person who made the move was the Taoist priest.

"Hey, it's too much for an adult to beat two children with his hands!" The old Taoist grabbed the shrew's wrist, and he stared at him without showing any weakness.

The shrew wanted to continue making trouble, but at this moment Jin An said coldly: "If you don't think it's a big deal, we can accompany you to the yamen when the yamen servants come to patrol the streets. We both saw right and wrong just now. It's obviously the two children you knocked down."

Seeing that people were getting more and more surrounded, the shrew was also a little scared, leaving a tough word and trying to get away in despair.

In the end, Jin An called to stop him: "Before you leave, don't you check to see if you have lost your purse, lest you go to the Yamen to report to the officials afterwards and frame someone else for stealing your purse."

The shrew checked the wallet on the street and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Jin An again, the shrew got angry, and said, "What else do you want, you stinky Taoist priest!"

"Children know how to apologize to adults when they do something wrong. You, an adult, will live for decades in vain. Why not be as sensible as a six or seven-year-old child?"

The shrew still wanted to argue, but as soon as she met Jin An's indifferent eyes, she was flustered and didn't dare to speak up anymore. She lowered her head and hurriedly said sorry to the brothers and sisters, and then left in embarrassment.

Perhaps it was because she ran in such a hurry that when she passed by Jin An, something fell off her body and was stepped on by Jin An's foot. Only the little girl sitting on the ground happened to notice this scene, and she widened her eyes in surprise. There are also crystal clear teardrops rolling, which look a little cute and cute.

That's a purse!
Jin An blinked at the little girl sitting on the ground, and stooped down to pick up the purse calmly. The little girl's big eyes widened even further.

An unbelievably cute face.

"The steamed buns on the ground are already dirty and can't be eaten. Let's go. I'll treat you brothers and sisters to eat haggis noodles." Jin An said gently, and wiped the dust from the little girl's hands to check if she was injured.

"Thank you two Taoist priests for helping us. We brothers and sisters don't need to be pitiful." The elder brother was very stubborn. After thanking Jin'an and the old Taoist priest, he wanted to take his sister away.

"If you are really good for your sister, you should think more about your own sister. Let's go, my little lord, today I took the initiative to invite you to eat haggis noodles. Why don't you give us this bit of face?" Jin An Said half-jokingly.

Finally, under the persuasion of Jin An and the old Taoist priest, they ate steaming haggis noodles.

The two brothers and sisters were really hungry. At the beginning, the elder brother was very vigilant, but when he ate a few mouthfuls of fresh and fat haggis, he ate meat again on his stomach that had not been stained with oil for a long time. Swallow it up.

Jin An and the old Taoist hadn't finished their bowl of haggis noodles, and the brother and sister had each eaten two bowls of haggis noodles. If it wasn't for the worry that the siblings would be hungry if they ate too much and would hurt their food, Jin An didn't mind it. Order haggis noodles.

After the siblings finished their last sip of noodle soup and hiccupped after eating, Jin An asked with a smile, "You have been wandering outside the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs all morning, do you have anything to tell us?"

"Are you the elder brother of Daoist Jin'an?" The little girl said straightforwardly, thinking that Jin'an was a good person from the bottom of her heart.

Oh?Jin An became interested: "If there is no second Taoist named Jin An in Jiangzhou Prefecture, I think I should be the one you are looking for."

"You came to the Five Viscera Taoist Temple to find me?"

Just as the younger sister was about to speak excitedly, her brother kicked her lightly under the table. The elder brother said to Jin'an, "The grandfather Wang who brought us into the city mentioned Taoist Master Jin'an, and we came to see the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera for the sake of seeing what Taoist Master Jin'an looks like." look."

According to the explanation, Grandpa Wang is a kind old beggar.

The old Taoist at the side cheered up and became interested: "Has the reputation of my little brother spread to the beggar gang?"

Brother: "Grandpa Wang said that Taoist Master Jin'an came to Fucheng when he first came to Fucheng. Many of the novels are also bestsellers in major bookstores."

cough.

Jin An coughed dryly, showing embarrassment.

His reputation and wisdom in this life can be regarded as falling into the sand in Jiangzhou Prefecture.

This is different from what he expected when he came to Jiangzhou Mansion to become famous. Although the ultimate goal was to become famous, it even far exceeded expectations, and his story was spread even outside the city!But with this kind of result, he was afraid that if the patriarch had knowledge in the sky, he would ask him to dream of him in the middle of the night!
The elder brother was very wary of outsiders. After eating the haggis noodles, he put away the bowls and chopsticks, and dragged his sister to climb down the bench. The two bowed again to Jin'an and the old Taoist, thanking them for today's haggis noodles.

Seeing that the two of them refused to speak, Jin An didn't force him, but took out a money bag.

The elder brother recognized the purse at a glance, his eyes widened in disbelief, Jin An blinked, and said with a smile: "That man dropped the purse himself, I just picked it up, maybe it's called Fu Retribution. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your sister.”

"You can't trust us, you can't trust your sister, right?"

The younger sister nodded like a chicken pecking rice, testifying for Jin An.

Jin An laughed, and then saw him take out a dozen copper coins from the purse and quietly hand them over to his brother.

Brother originally wanted to refuse, but Jin An's words made him hesitate, and finally accepted: "Don't treat my sister badly."

"Originally this purse was owed by that woman to you brothers and sisters, but if two helpless children get such a large sum of money at once, they will be guilty of committing crimes, causing disasters, and also arousing the detection of the government, so this A dozen or so copper coins are left for you as an emergency."

"Thank you." The elder brother and the younger sister bowed to the two of them again to thank them.

"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera to find me." Jin An reminded.

"Yeah." The elder brother led his younger sister into a small alley, and hurriedly disappeared into the bustling crowds.

Watching the backs of the poor pair of brothers and sisters disappear, the old Taoist sighed and said: "At a young age, there is no one to rely on, and their lives are as fragile and strong as grass. This is their way of struggling to survive, and they don't trust people easily."

"That's why we need a peaceful and prosperous world. Everyone has food and clothing, and everyone has a home to return to." Jin An said from the heart.
