Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 174

The next morning, today was a teaching day that was held once every three days.When the genius was bright, a young man came to the gate of Feishiguan with his luggage on his back.He gently wiped the sweat on his forehead, then opened the door and walked in on his own.

He was the first to come here.Hanging his luggage on a big tree, he skillfully found a broom and began to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard.

An evergreen tree also means that it often sheds its leaves all year round.After three days of absence, a lot of fallen leaves had accumulated in the courtyard, and the early morning dew wet the ground. This made him less time to sprinkle water, and he only needed to clean up the fallen leaves.

After a few scans, the door opened with a roar.The wooden hinge, which had been in disrepair for a long time, made a grinding sound that made people's teeth hurt. Accompanying this sound was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old.

He walked into the temple and saw the young man cleaning at a glance. Then he smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, you are the first one today. Didn't you go home?"

The young man named Brother Zhao didn't even raise his head and said, "Why are you going back? It's still a waste of time. It's not too late to go back after you finish the class and let the teacher test your work."

When the young man heard this, he finally shook his head and said, "You are working in Zhao Dahu's spiritual field outside the city. It is not easy for you to come and go..."

The young man named Zhao paused and then said: "In this world, nothing is easy. Uncle Zhao allows me to come back every three days to attend classes. I am already very satisfied."

The young man shook his head helplessly after hearing this.He also went to find a broom and joined in the sweeping.He is sixteen years old, has been practicing for six years, and has just entered the Qi training realm.The Brother Zhao in front of him is already 26 years old, and he is only a second-level monk in Qi training.

Both of them are Taoist boys in the Taoist temple. According to the rules of the Taoist temple, as long as you can afford the tuition, you can always study in the Taoist temple.When you study in a Taoist temple, you can ask for advice from the Taoist temple, use the Taoist temple's facilities, and communicate with your classmates.These are all advantages.

But in Feishiguan, most of the auxiliary training facilities here are no longer usable.The students here are all shallow in cultivation and have no sense of communication at all.The teaching here... Although the teaching here imparts knowledge, this knowledge has been taught long ago in these years.

Now they have been gathering here for three days, talking about continuing to study. In fact, it is really like participating in a group of fellow monks, just a group of struggling young monks joining the group to keep warm.

The two of them swept the floor and didn't speak again. What else could they say?They are very familiar with each other, so familiar that they basically have nothing to say.

The early morning sun shines through the mist, illuminating the ground with dots of light.Except for the rustling sound of the broom scraping the ground, there was no noise from the huge Taoist temple.

After a while, a brisk figure crossed the threshold of the gate and jumped into the Taoist temple.

"Senior Brother Zhao! Senior Brother Qian! Good morning to you!" A lively girl greeted the two people in the courtyard.

When the two of them saw the visitor, they stopped what they were doing, smiled at her and said, "Hello, Junior Sister Sun." Junior Sister Sun was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a lively and cheerful personality, and had a good relationship with everyone. She had always been Pistachios at Fei Shi Guan.

She put down her backpack and said, "I have some big buns that I brought from home. You guys can eat some first!" Junior Sister Sun owns a bun shop at home, and her big meat buns are famous all over the city. Every time she goes to class, she She would bring the big buns from home to share with everyone.

Senior Brother Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Let's wait a moment. We are about to finish cleaning. Let's eat when everyone arrives."

The twenty Taoist boys at Feishi Temple are not said to be from poor families, but at least they are not rich.A wealthy family will not choose Fei Shi Guan, while a poor family will not choose to practice Buddhism.Even though he is a young man named Zhao who works for a wealthy family, he also works for his clan uncle.

After chatting for a while, Junior Sister Sun also found a rag and bucket and started cleaning.

The Taoist temple does not force them to do these things; they do these tasks voluntarily.On the one hand, this is because the Taoist temple cannot afford to hire dedicated people to clean it, and on the other hand, it is also because the Taoist temple charges are cheap, which makes these Taoist boys feel a little embarrassed, so they do some work within their ability.

When the mist cleared and the birds and animals sang loudly, eleven or two people came to the Taoist temple.The Taoist temple finally became lively and gained some popularity.

These Taoist boys cleaned the playground and the main hall at the entrance and left the rest of the area alone. Otherwise, if such a large Taoist temple had to be cleaned, they wouldn't be able to do it.

At this time, Zhang Miao and Shi Ran walked out from the back of the palace.

The twelve Taoist boys suddenly noticed a stranger appearing, and they all looked at him curiously, and then asked: "Who is this gentleman? Why does he appear in Feishiguan?"

They didn't doubt that Zhang Miao was a thief. To be honest, except for fallen leaves, there was nothing to steal here.And because this is a Taoist temple, even homeless people will not come here to stay overnight.

Zhang Miao looked at the people here. In his perception, these people emitted very little spiritual light, and their cultivation levels were very low. The highest ones were only at the third level of Qi training, which was worse than what he had seen at Qingzhumen. .

The monks of Qingzhumen at least have spiritual fields to farm and are somewhat wealthy.As for the disciples of the Taoist temple here, there is no industry at all. They have no money and no spiritual stones, so naturally they cannot improve their cultivation.

At this time, Yan Shangao also arrived at the Taoist temple. As soon as he entered the Taoist temple, he saw everyone surrounding Zhang Miao, so he said: "You are all here! Let me introduce to you, this is the new teacher, Zhang Miao and Zhang Miao!"

He stood next to Zhang Miao and solemnly introduced Zhang Miao to everyone.When these Taoist boys heard this, their faces showed disbelief.

The Taoist temple is so poor that it has to eat dirt, so how can it afford to hire teachers?Is Yan Jiaoxi finally at the end of his rope and deceiving people to make a living?

Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Yan Shangao coughed lightly and said, "This Zhang Jiaoxi came here on his own, and he plans to revive Feishiguan. I was moved by his spirit and agreed with his idea. From today on From the beginning, Zhang Jiaoxi is the main leader in Feishi Temple!"

The twelve Taoist boys looked at each other, and they all saw incredulity in each other's eyes.Zhang Miao also stood up at this moment and said: "My name is Zhang Miao. Although you have never met me before, we will get along for a long time in the future." After saying this, he paused and continued: "I am very early today. I got up and when I saw you cleaning the house spontaneously, I knew you really liked Feishiguan. Because of this love, I decided that you can study at Feishiguan for free in the future!"

His words shocked all the Taoists, and then they looked at Yan Shangao again.Yan Shangao looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, without showing any signs of surprise.

To be honest, ten spiritual stones a month is not expensive for these Taoist boys. Basically, their families have some assets, and they can afford ten spiritual stones a month.But without this income, Feishiguan really has no income at all!
To maintain a serious Taoist temple, there must be income.This income comes from various sources. The most important income comes from Taoist tuition fees and allocations from the Shangzong, and then comes from the Taoist temple's own ancillary industries.

Let's take Baiyun Temple as an example. The tuition fee for a disciple of Baiyung Temple is one thousand spiritual stones per month. The most number of disciples in their temple is over a thousand, but usually it is around five or six hundred.The monthly tuition alone costs 70 million spirit stones.Then they have contracts with several sects to provide talents to these sects. For each talent they send, there will be a 'training fee' ranging from 10,000 to [-].This income is not huge. If three or five Taoist boys graduate every year, they can also earn [-]+ spiritual stones.

In addition to these, Baiyunguan has its own market and its own residential area. The combined rent of these houses can earn millions of spiritual stones every year.

It is by relying on these incomes that Baiyunguan can hire the top monks in the county to teach, can continuously activate the spirit gathering array to gather spiritual energy throughout the year, and can subsidize the poor but talented monks.

But now there is nothing in Feishi Temple...

Zhang Miao looked down upon the annual tuition fee. It only cost ten spiritual stones per person per month and 120 spiritual stones per year. Zhang Miao could earn it back just by sneezing. Not only that, Zhang Miao also had a big move.

He looked at these Taoist boys and said, "I know that some of you have to earn spiritual stones to maintain your practice. Now, I am providing work-study opportunities. You should stop working for others and work directly with me. I’ll pay you spiritual stones!”

His words made many Taoist boys widen their eyes.These Taoist boys are going out to earn spiritual stones, not to pay for tuition, but because they also need resources for practice!Some of the elixirs and medicinal foods that we usually eat to strengthen our body cost money.The tuition fee for these ten spirit stones is nothing at all.

Zhang Miao smiled slightly and said: "The Taoist temple is in dire need, and I have my own plan. First of all, the spiritual energy here is too low. I plan to build a new spirit gathering array, so I need manpower now. How about you just follow me?" ?”

When Senior Brother Zhao heard this, he keenly grasped the core of this sentence and immediately asked: "May I ask Mr. Zhang, do you still know the formation?"

Zhang Miao smiled reservedly, and then said: "I not only understand formations, but I am a master of formations. In terms of formations, I am proficient in Feng Shui formations and calculation formations. Feishi Temple occupies a large area. It is suitable for setting up Feng Shui formations, so I need a large amount of stones, wood and spiritual plants. As long as you provide these for me, I will pay for the spiritual stones."

Zhang Miao's words shocked them deeply.This was the first time they heard someone claiming to be a formation master.But if he can really lay out a large spirit gathering array that covers the entire Feishi Temple, then even if he is not an array master, he can still be a senior array master.This is not something that can be done by just buying an array disk.

If you brag in this regard, your bullshit will be blown away immediately.But when they looked at Zhang Miao's confident look, it seemed that he was not bragging at all.

Then here comes the problem.What is the purpose of a formation master with such strength coming to Feishi Temple to teach?

Zhang Miao coughed lightly and said: "I don't plan to teach any lessons today, so I will announce the formation I designed and the materials needed. You provide the materials and I will pay the spirit stones. When the formation is completed, you can enjoy it again." The aura brought by the formation is such a good thing that I don’t need to remind you, you should know what to do.”

Zhang Miao's words suddenly woke up these Taoist boys.

Yes, how can there be such a good thing in this world?This Zhang Jiaoxi spent money and effort to build the formation. Not only did they, the Taoist boys, not have to pay, they could also make money in it.When the formation is completed, as Taoist boys, they can directly enjoy the conveniences provided by the Taoist temple.

No matter how you calculate it, they will make a profit!Moreover, Zhang Miao has just waived their tuition fees. Once the formation is built, they will have sex for free!

Everyone felt incredible when they thought of this.Zhang Miao had already waved his hand, and with a flash of inspiration, a large phantom appeared in front of everyone.

"This is the Feishi Yimu Spirit Gathering Formation I designed. As you can tell by the name, it is a Feng Shui formation. Therefore, I want to carry out a Feng Shui transformation on Feishi Temple. During this transformation process, I need a lot of stone materials, civil engineering , clear water, spiritual plants, etc. There are requirements for these things, you can collect them for me near the City of No Return."

As Zhang Miao spoke, a 'renovation renderings' appeared in front of everyone.Although everyone can't understand the Feng Shui formation, they can see that it seems to be what it is.

This is the first time Yan Shangao has seen this thing. He does not understand formations. Feilai Sect has the inheritance of formations, but now this inheritance has been broken. The formation books in the sect are like heavenly books to him. .Although he couldn't understand it, he knew that this kind of thing could not be faked.Whether it will be effective or not will be known once the formation is built.

As a result, these Taoist boys took over many materials collection tasks in a daze.Then he was sent out of the Taoist temple.

When they reached the foot of Taoist Temple, several people suddenly became sober when they were blown by the cool breeze. Then Junior Brother Qian said to Senior Brother Zhao: "Brother, do you think this is reliable?"

Among these people, Senior Brother Zhao is the oldest and the most trusted by them.Everyone looked at Senior Brother Zhao.Senior Brother Zhao asked: "If this is true, then we are the biggest beneficiaries. If this is false, what can we lose?"

"It's just some time to look for stones, earthworks and spiritual plants. The effort is so low, but the harvest is so high. Are you still afraid that he will lie to you?"

Senior Brother Zhao's words made everyone nod.Then a Taoist boy gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then I won't go to the Pegasus Horse Farm to raise horses. It's much more profitable to find stones for Zhang Jiaoxi than to collect horse dung."

His words resonated with others, and one person immediately said: "Yeah, I won't go to the talisman paper workshop to make pulp anymore. I'm tired of the smell of pulp. I'll go look for rocks and wood with you!"

"Then I won't sell steamed buns to my family anymore! Selling steamed buns is not as fun as going to the mountains!" Junior Sister Sun followed closely.

Only Senior Brother Zhao was silent. Everyone else was easy to handle, but he was difficult to handle.His job is to help his clan uncle take care of the spiritual field. If he refuses to do it rashly, he may not be able to handle it well. Normally his clan uncle treats him very well. If he leaves immediately, no one will take over his job!
