After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

An hour later.

The villagers rushed to the Taoist temple one after another, including Wu Weng and his son.

Master Zhou and his first disciple are not in the Taoist temple today, only Yingbao and the second senior brother are in the temple, and of course, Xiaodouzi and his younger sister Cuilan.

Yingbao took out a booklet with stories she wrote in charcoal.

Due to the rush of writing, the handwriting is a bit scribbled.

Wu Yi asked curiously: "Little master, why did you ask us to come?"

Ying Bao said solemnly: "I suddenly received an oracle last night, and I wrote it down this morning. I am calling you over now, just to tell you the content of the oracle, um, it is about the legend of Shiquan Cave."

All the villagers opened their mouths wide, looking at the little doll standing on the steps in surprise.

Even Zhang Min turned his head to look at the little junior sister, wondering what she was up to.

Yingbao coughed lightly and began to speak: "Actually, the water in the Shiquan Cave was made from the tears of the Nine Heavens Xuannv. She felt sorry for the suffering in the world, so she opened a fairy cave here. As long as people are dedicated to good deeds and have never done any sin, It’s a huge deal. Drinking the water here can drive away evil spirits, cure diseases, and make you live a long life.”

"Really?" The villagers didn't believe it, but they were looking forward to it in their hearts. "The water in the cave can really cure diseases and expel evil spirits, and can lead to longevity?"

Ying Bao nodded, and added: "Of course it's okay to be good, but it's hard to say about evil people."

As long as someone questioned it, she would guide them to the cave to explore the secrets. I believe that many people can't understand why there are two beautifully blooming peonies in the cave.

Even if the master saw it, it would surprise him.

"Then... can my old cold legs be cured?" an elderly villager asked expectantly.

Ying Bao scratched her forehead, hesitantly said: "Well, I don't know, why don't you go to the cave to get a ladle of water and drink it."

Most of the old cold legs are caused by rheumatism, even if he is allowed to drink Wudingzhi, it will probably not get better for a while.

But in order to convince the villagers that the water in this cave is magical, this step must be taken.

The elderly villagers were just about to go to the stove to get something to fill with water when they saw several young men rushing out, went first to the Taoist stove to get buckets and water basins, and then ran to fetch water.

After a while, the water was brought.

Yingbao came to the bucket, took a look at the crystal-clear spring water, brushed her sleeve over the bucket inadvertently, picked up a gourd ladle and stirred it, scooped out a ladle of water and handed it to the elderly villager.

The old man took it with trembling hands, and drank the whole ladle of water in one gulp.

After drinking, I still touch my stomach, and I always feel very refreshed.

The rest of the villagers also came over, looked the old man up and down, and asked, "How is it? How do you feel?"

The old man laughed and said, "I suddenly feel energetic."

With his words, the villagers suddenly turned their eyes to the bucket of water, their eyes burning.

Seeing this, Ying Bao hurriedly said: "Young people don't need to drink it, this bucket of water is reserved for the older people to drink."

As he spoke, he motioned to the second senior brother to come over and divide the water.

Zhang Min had been curious for a long time, and wanted to taste it, but his junior sister was watching, so he had to give the water to the old and weak in the village.

"I, I want to drink too." A sallow and thin man looked at Zhang Min beggingly.

Zhang Min glanced at his junior sister and saw that she had no objection, so he took a large ladle and handed it to him.

The man gulped down the water in one gulp, and finally poured it into his mouth with his neck raised. He was sure that there would not be a drop, so he handed the water ladle back to Zhang Min with a lot of enthusiasm.

Just like that, the bucket of water and the basin of water were divided cleanly.

But there were also some who didn't take it seriously, one of them expressed doubts about Ying Bao's words: "Little master, this cave existed earlier, why didn't I know that spring water can cure diseases?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Yingbao. "Yes, little master, how do you know that this spring water is magical?" It seems that it doesn't make sense based on her one-sided words.

"Could it be that they tricked us into offering incense to the Taoist temple?" Someone began to speak rudely.

Yingbao: "Since you don't believe me, then go back." She didn't want to waste her words either.

Doing this by myself is just to answer Master's plea and find a way for them to get rich.

If these people are unwilling to cooperate, she has nothing to do.

Wu Weng glared at the villager: "No one will think you are mute if you don't speak. When did Master Zhou ask you to offer incense?"

The man hung his head and said nothing.

Yingbao thought for a while, and decided to speak out now, so as to save them from being suspicious.

But she wasn't going to tell everyone.

So he said to Wu Weng and Wu Yi: "Grandpa Wu, come with me. I have something to say."

Wu Weng and his son Wu Yi followed Yingbao to the main hall.

It is said to be a hall, but it is actually a main room. There are only an incense table and a few futons in it, not even a chair.

Several people sat cross-legged on the futon, and Yingbao told the Wu family father and son about her plan in front of the Sanqing Patriarch who was enshrined on the incense case.

"A load of water sells for a consistent amount?" Wu Yi thought he heard it wrong.

Yingbao: "Well, the water in this cave is fairy water, and it doesn't cost much to sell it. Those aristocratic families in the city would spend five or ten ounces per pot to buy Leng Xiangxue on plum blossoms. Selling consistently, it’s already very cheap.”

Ordinary people would not buy this water, and only those big families would pay for it.

There was light in Wu Weng's eyes: "So, the little master told that story for us today?"

Ying Bao glanced at him and nodded: "If I don't say that, you go to Fucheng to sell water tomorrow, how can you explain the origin of this water to others?"

Those rich people in the city are not stupid, why spend all their money on a load of ordinary water?
It's different if you add a piece of fairy water. According to her expectation, it will be no problem to sell a load of water for two in the future.

"Okay! That's great!" Zaoshu Village and the villagers of the two surrounding villages discussed countless times, but they never made up their minds to flee to the south.

No matter what, here are my roots, if I can survive a little bit, who would like to escape to another place?

Yingbao sees that the Muramasa father and son do not object to this business, and decides to send the first batch of spring water to Fucheng for sale tomorrow.

Of course, for the sake of safety, the four masters and apprentices have to follow.

It is said that the second brother Zhang Min's home is in Fucheng, so he can go back to see his family this time.

Early the next morning, the village leader Wu Yi borrowed a donkey cart from somewhere and took two villagers to Shiquan Cave to collect water.

They put a total of ten buckets of water on the donkey cart, and another two buckets on Master Zhou's carriage.

After scooping up the water, Ying Bao suddenly said to the second senior brother, "Second senior brother, you said you put something in the cave last time. Now that there are many people, you might as well go in and show it to me."

Zhang Min slapped his head and said with a smile, "Yes, yes! I really want to take it out."

As he spoke, he called Xiaodouzi to go in with him, and made a torch with a stick and weeds to bring with him.

Because he hid the things so deep that he couldn't find them without a torch.

Taking off his shoes and holding them in his hands, before wading into the water, Zhang Min said to his junior sister, "I'll go in and knock a stalagmite for you, it's really pretty."

Yingbao nodded: "Okay, be careful."
