Chapter 256 Hongjin



Ning Zhishui's "big pie" has made everyone open their eyes wide uncontrollably, and their breathing has become rapid due to anticipation.

But Ning Zhishui didn't mean to say anything, instead he said to Uncle Du, "Uncle, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'm going back."

The uncle was a little stunned, "Huh? Oh... okay, then be careful on the road."

"I will."

Ning Zhishui nodded to him and Du Zheng, then walked away amidst many speechless gazes.

Do they think that they will rush to put forward their proposals at the meeting and directly tell them what medicinal herbs are most suitable to grow?

It’s a nice thought.

Ning Zhishui eats the Du family's food and lives in the Du family's house. She is willing to tell Uncle Du about the improved planting methods because she is in a good mood and is willing to do this favor.

But why should others do so?

Business that is offered to you is not valued, let alone this is a free offer. Ning Zhishui will not do such a thankless task.

Want to know?

You have to beg her with nice words, and it also depends on her mood.

In fact, as long as they don't act so doubtful, but ask her naturally what it is, Ning Zhishui will tell them the truth.

But now, she doesn't want to talk about it.

The rain continued. When Ning Zhishui returned to the Du family, he saw the aunt mixing medicinal herbs.

They also make some simple pills themselves, some to repel insects and some to detoxify minor poisonous insects. They are not worth much, but they can still make a little more money than simply selling medicinal herbs.

Even if it's just a little bit, they are willing to work hard for it.

Ning Zhishui told the aunt what had just happened as if it were a joke, and the aunt hurried to comfort him;

"Xiao Ning, they don't have a problem with you. They just don't believe there are herbs so suitable for us... Actually, if we grow more precious herbs, we can make more money, but the risks are also too great. If there is a natural disaster, we may even lose our entire family."

She thought that the medicinal herbs Ning Zhishui suggested were suitable for them to grow would be particularly precious.

That way you can certainly sell it at a higher price, but the risks and costs will also increase. If they don't serve you well, all your money will be wasted.

"That's not a precious medicinal herb." Ning Zhishui shook his head and didn't continue talking about this topic.

The aunt was very grateful to her. "Is the method you described of picking the best talents true? If so, then you are the great benefactor of our Du family, no, the entire Chaomen Village!"

She didn't think Ning Zhishui would lie to them about this because there was no need.

Besides, Ning Zhishui also said that they were only using one row for testing, so the loss was still bearable.

"Well, don't worry, as long as you do what I say, you will definitely not fail."

“That’s wonderful.”

When the aunt heard this, she worked harder and looked at Ning Zhishui with more loving eyes.

Ning Zhishui took advantage of this time to ask about the Shangxian Temple.

"What's the name of the deity in that temple? How often do people usually go there to worship?"

"That immortal is really powerful. He's one of the independent cultivators." The auntie gave a thumbs up. "His name is Hongjin Immortal. Have you heard of him?"

I've heard that a lot.

Immortal Hongjin should be the first person among the independent cultivators to ascend to heaven.

He was born in poverty and had a difficult journey, but he eventually achieved enlightenment and became a legend. He is also a role model and a goal for all casual cultivators.

All casual cultivators will regard themselves as the next Hongjin when they are self-motivated. This will make them full of energy and brainwash themselves.

So what if he was a casual cultivator with a low starting point? Didn’t Hong Jin eventually achieve the Great Dao?

But what is the reality?

It is true that Hong Jin was born into a family of casual cultivators and his family background is not prominent.

But the key to his ascension was that he married the daughter of a noble family when he was two hundred years old, thus becoming a member of that family.

With the support of the aristocratic family, his own talent was indeed ridiculously good, and he was also lucky, which made him become the one and only one.

But ordinary people don’t care about this. They only care that Hongjin is a casual cultivator and that he eventually ascended to heaven.

Ning Zhishui felt like laughing.

Jin Zhao is really interesting. He cheats people of their money while pretending to be Hong Jin.

Perhaps he felt that using his real name to deceive people would risk being exposed, and the Jin family would then be in trouble. It would be better to just pretend to be that casual cultivator, which would also make ordinary people look at him with more respect.

Anyway, whether it is Jin Zhao or Hong Jin, they are not in Jiangbaizhou, but from Moxuanzhou, so the possibility of being exposed in the end is still very small.

etc……

Ning Zhishui suddenly thought of something.

The incident happened in her previous life. At that time, she took Hua Jiaqing and some of her subordinates to a dangerous place in Cangqingzhou. Because there were so many people and there were pursuers, they split into four groups when they left.

On one of the trips, as they were coming back, the leader told her as a funny story that when they passed through a small town, they saw a temple that was worshipping Hong Jin, and that the person might be his descendant.

Ning Zhishui felt strange after hearing this - Hong Jin was from Mo Xuanzhou, and if he was really a descendant, he should have stayed in Mo Xuanzhou, so why did he run to Cang Qingzhou?

Also, how could his descendants end up living in a small town?

But she didn't take it seriously and naturally turned the topic to business without continuing to chat or ask any further questions.

But now, she encountered the immortal temple dedicated to "Hongjin" in Jiangbaizhou again!

Is this a coincidence?

The "Shangxian" worshipped in the Shangxian Temple in Chaomen Village is named Hongjin, but in fact he is Jinzhao.

What about the small town in the previous life? Who was the person being worshipped there?

The aunt was busy with her work and didn't notice Ning Zhishui's thoughtful expression. She spoke to herself, "As for how often to worship, they pay the money generously. Anyway, everyone passes by there every day when they work, so they will go to worship whenever they pass by. Even if they really can't spare the time due to something, they will at least worship every two or three days."

In other words, most people bow once a day, while a few bow once every two or three days.

Ning Zhishui wanted to ask for more details, but the aunt didn't know much.

Anyway, for her and other villagers, it is just a matter of worship and burning incense. They can get crystal rewards by doing so, so why not do it?

As for why the other party does this, what benefits they can get, whether what they say is true or false... it doesn't matter.

The villagers were already working hard to make a living, so how could they have the time to think about these things? It was impossible to figure it out anyway.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Ning Zhishui stopped asking.

The aunt did not doubt Ning Zhishui. In her opinion, it was just casual chatting. Anyway, when she was with other people in the village, they would chat about this family or that family. This behavior was very normal.

At lunchtime, the Du family father and son returned.
