Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 119 The Incompetent Monk
He has met many people during this journey, but those people are extremely cautious after seeing him in Confucian uniform, let alone after knowing that he is a Taoist priest.

So during this journey, he really didn't have a good conversation with ordinary people.

Although the burly man in front of him looked respectful, he didn't appear restrained, but it made him a little interested in chatting.

But before chatting, he was going to pay for the meal first:

"The poor don't eat your food for nothing."

After all, he cleaned the bowls and chopsticks with true energy and returned them, then took out a dozen talismans from the jade gourd, "You take these talismans, if you encounter evil spirits on the road, you might be able to rely on them Dodged a bullet."

Seeing that the strong man wanted to refuse, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but waved his hands, "Cultivating the Tao requires commitment."

"Poverty, I have accepted a meal for you, and it is not too much to give you a few talismans."

"The value of this talisman in the eyes of the poor is not as good as the few pieces of bacon in this bowl of rice, so the layman just accept it."

With that said, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but stuff the talismans into the hands of the strong man, then pointed to those talismans and said:
"There are twelve talismans in total, three "Charm to Dispel Evil", three "Charm to Cultivate Health", three "Charm to Dispel Disease". Disaster Talisman."

"They are all ordinary talismans. I think you should know them all, so I won't introduce them to you."

Hearing the words, the strong man tightened the talisman in his hand, then bent down and bowed deeply to Jiang Xuan, "Thank you, Taoist priest, for giving me the talisman."

He wanted to refuse, but he finally accepted the talisman when he thought of the caravan of old, young, women and children.

Because these talismans are indeed what the team lacks.

Seeing the strong man accepting the talisman, Jiang Xuan smiled and asked again, "I see that there are dozens of people in your team, and most of them are old and young, women and children. This is not like doing business, but the whole village has been moved? "

The strong man nodded upon hearing the words:

"It is true that the whole village has been relocated."

After replying a sentence, he sighed again, "So that the Taoist priest can know that it's not that we want to move out, but that we really can't live anymore."

"We are from Xialoushan Town, Nanming County, Xishan Prefecture."

"Although the Xishan Mansion is in a bit of a mess, Nanming County is fine. After all, it is located in a remote place. Those warlords usually come to collect taxes and leave, and they don't wait too long."

"Although poll tax and land mu tax have been received for decades, this person can still live."

"But since two years ago, everything has changed."

Speaking of this, a hint of helplessness flashed in the strong man's eyes, "Two years ago, the Hongyang Sect came out of nowhere and fought with the local warlords all day long for territory."

"It's none of our business if they beat them to death. After all, Nanming County is located in a remote area, so no matter how hard they fight, they won't be able to reach us."

"But the problem is taxes."

"Today this family won, and they came to collect taxes for two years."

"Which one wins tomorrow, they will come to collect taxes for another two years."

"It's only two years, and we have collected taxes for a whole hundred years. Isn't this killing us?"

"We are not a rich family, how can we get so much tax?"

"They rob people if they don't have money."

"Boys are directly dragged to join the army, and girls are used as military prostitutes, causing public resentment."

"The old man in the village saw that this was not the way to go, so in the end, he decided that we had to hide, deep in the mountains, somewhere where we couldn't be found."

"But you can't put all your eggs in one basket. If they find them after hiding in the mountains, the whole village will be ruined."

"So the people in the village ended up splitting into three parts."

"Some of them hid in the mountains, some of them went north to Beijing as refugees, and some of us planned to go to Beihu Mansion to seek refuge with relatives and friends."

Speaking of this, the man sighed again, "The world is difficult, not to mention the rampant evil spirits, and there are bandits blocking the road to rob."

"When we left the village, there were still about two hundred people, and now there are only a few left. Fortunately, we are approaching the border of Beihu Mansion. I heard that it is much better than Xishan Mansion there. I hope they can settle down."

After listening to the man's narration, Jiang Xuan also sighed secretly when he looked at the gloomy-looking people in the temple.

But he can't change anything now.

That's the way it is in the damn world.

Perhaps after the realization of the sect's plan, this chaotic world will change.

If the sect's plan fails, then when he has enough strength, he will definitely change the damn world.

Sighing again, Jiang Xuan immediately took out another stack of "Exorcism Talismans" and stuffed it into the man's hand, "The world is difficult, and even the poor can do nothing."

"But now that you have encountered them, you can hold these talismans, so as not to encounter evil spirits later."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan looked at the dolls who were secretly watching him in the woman's arms, sighed again, and took out the desk and talisman-making tools.

Lifting the pen and dropping the talisman, after writing the next "Thunder" talisman, Jiang Xuan's eyes fell on the man, "Hand."

The man who had been in a trance heard Jiang Xuan's words, and subconsciously stretched out his hand in front of Jiang Xuan.

A wind blade popped out and took a drop of fingertip blood, Jiang Xuan then pulled a trace of blood and injected it into the "Thunder" talisman.

After doing this more than ten times, Jiang Xuan picked up more than ten newly drawn "Thunder" talismans and put them in the man's palm.

"The twelve Thunder Talismans should be able to help you deal with most of the evil spirits."

"When you encounter an evil spirit, bite your finger and drop the blood on the talisman. Pointing at the evil spirit and calling 'Shenxiao Mie', you can summon a divine thunder to eliminate evil spirits."

"Master Dao, this."

Perhaps he had never been treated like this before, and the man was at a loss for a while.

Looking at the speechless man, then at the expecting women, and the ignorant children, Jiang Xuan patted the man on the shoulder and lifted the donkey cart to the little black donkey. Then he took the little black donkey and walked outside the house, standing in the sun when the clouds and rain had cleared:

"Pin Dao gives it to you, you just accept it."

"If the talismans are not used up after arriving at the place, then exchange them for money and buy an extra one or two acres of land, so as not to starve the children."

"In this troubled world, Pindao doesn't have the ability to change it now, but it's okay to help you."

As he spoke, Jiang Xuan pointed to the rainbow that appeared in the mountains after the rain, "Live well."

"One day, the clouds and mists covering the heads of all living beings will clear up, and then the sun will emerge, and a rainbow will appear."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan turned around and returned to the man with red eyes:
"Live well, believe in Pindao, you will see this day."

Patting the man on the shoulder again, Jiang Xuan then returned to the donkey cart and shook the reins.

The humane little donkey raised its hooves and continued to walk north.

"Daoist, please also tell us your Taoist number, so that we can give you a longevity card when we get there."

Looking back at the man kneeling in the mud, Jiang Xuan suddenly lost interest:

"An incompetent monk, what kind of longevity card are you offering?"
