Shangguan Qingwan's calculations were so stern that Heng Luan was almost jumping out of bed. Heng Lin pushed him down, then turned his head and stared at the girl at the door with an ambiguous expression. After a while, he nodded and chuckled, "Okay! Okay!"
The Second Patriarch finally understood what it meant that a penny could make a hero fall.
Heng Lin said to Shangguan Qingwan, "Miss, please wait at the door. I want to talk to my brother."
Shangguan Qingwan agreed, and when she turned around and left, she made a face at Heng Luan, which made Heng Luan so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Heng Lin was so angry that he laughed, "Brother, don't worry, there's more to worry about."
"What do you mean?" Heng Luan was puzzled.
Heng Lin told Heng Luan the redemption price of the golden body in detail. Heng Luan immediately closed his eyes, covered his chest, his brows were knotted, and the scars on his forehead were tangled together, which was very uncomfortable to look at.
"Third brother... my chest hurts..."
Heng Lin: "One visit to the doctor costs one or two taels..."
Heng Luan paused for breath, then opened his eyes, his dark pupils dim, "You go back first, as for the silver...I will find a way!"
Heng Lin pursed his lips and reminded him, "Brother, if you smash, loot, burn, steal, or cheat in the human world, you will be sent to jail. In serious cases..."
Heng Luan interrupted him, "Who do you think my brother is?"
"Don't be angry, brother. I'm just worried that you might take an unconventional approach."
Heng Luan glared at Heng Lin.
"Okay, you take a rest first. I'm going back first. I'll find a way for you."
Heng Luan looked at Heng Lin's departing back and punched the quilt hard with his fist.
Why!
I never thought that he, the great Buddha, would fall to this point!
Silver, silver! Everything needs silver!
Just like that, Heng Luan went out with Hua Shang to get money before his injury healed.
It is definitely impossible to get so much money just by begging.
You can only earn money based on your ability!
Heng Luan knew that it was easy for a monk like him to make money from offerings, such as warding off disasters and misfortunes, and saving the souls of the dead. Rich families always needed these meaningless rituals.
Of course, if he really showed his power, he wouldn't have the ability to do so.
Buddha is meant to convey an idea, an idea to the world, and use ideas to drive social development and progress. It is invisible, but in him, it can be manifested as tangible magic power. His magic power is bestowed by heaven, not by Buddha. In other words, without magic power, he is just a liar.
Not even as good as an ordinary monk!
For example, he had never seen or used the rituals and objects used by these monks in the human world!
I don’t know where he learned it from, but as the founder of Buddhism, he didn’t learn it from him!
Henglin left Hengluan ten taels of silver, telling him to spend it frugally, but Hengluan spent it all in a single day, using it to learn the rituals for the deceased. The monk who taught him was quite attentive, and Hengluan had a good memory, so he memorized the various ritual procedures and the names of the items in a single day. With everything ready, he just needed to find a family to earn money from.
Who knew that the waters of inviting a mage were so deep!
Although Hengluan had learned it, he had no connections! The masters hired by the wealthy families in the capital were all acquaintances with some reputation. Who would hire a monk who had just arrived, and this monk looked quite fierce.
After a few days of frustration, Heng Luan finally realized that he had been cheated.
Hungry and surrounded by people, the two sat on the street, looking hopeless.
Hua Shang was filled with remorse, regretting that he shouldn't have told that lie!
Master is right, monks cannot tell lies, otherwise they will suffer misfortune!
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret now.
After the two of them had rested enough, they started going door to door looking for business.
"Hello, auntie, is there a death in your family? I will..."
"Uncle, I see that your forehead is black, I'm afraid you won't live long, do you want to..."
"This elder sister gave birth to a child, but unfortunately it died young. I can pray for her soul..."
"Good of you! You actually hid the fact that you had a child from me! Cancel the engagement, cancel it immediately!"
"Dalang, don't..."
…
"Excuse me, could you two mages perform a ritual to save the soul?"
Heng Luan and Hua Shang had just finished melting two iron buns and were eating them when a fat, middle-aged man dressed like a businessman asked. His already small eyes narrowed into slits, making him look kind and benevolent.
Before Heng Luan could say anything, Hua Shang's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up and replied, "That's right! My master can do it! My master knows everything!"
The merchant looked at Heng Luan when he heard this. Heng Luan stood up, clasped his hands together, and told everyone what he knew. The merchant, perhaps seeing his stern brows and solemn appearance, seemed to be serious, he immediately knocked on the board and said, "Follow me!"
Hua Shang looked at Heng Luan with joy.
Heng Luan also breathed a sigh of relief, finally he had a customer.
Then Heng Luan asked the merchant some basic questions, such as the time of birth and death of the deceased, the location... etc. The merchant just said that they would know when they arrived at the place.
Heng Luan wanted to discuss his offer again, but the merchant waved his hand and said proudly that as long as the ritual was done well, he would not treat the mage unfairly.
Only then did Heng Luan feel truly relieved.
The two followed the merchant into the carriage and set off.
Once we set off, we realized that the merchant's home was so far away from the capital that the journey would take more than ten days. When the carriage drove into a field of loess kilns, the merchant suddenly got off the carriage and said something to the outside.
Heng Luan and Hua Shang waited in the car until the merchant's voice rang out from outside, "Masters, get out! We're here!"
Heng Luan and Hua Shang got out of the car.
As soon as they got off the car, they were surrounded by a group of dark and burly men.
This posture scared the two of them, and Hua Shang quickly hid behind Heng Luan.
Heng Luan asked the merchant, "What do you mean, benefactor?"
The fat businessman still had a friendly smile, but the words he uttered were extremely cruel. "Haha... At this point, I won't hide it from you two. I'm not short of mages here, I'm short of coal miners. Once you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
"superior!"
After saying that, a group of strong men walked towards the two shocked people. When they got closer, Heng Luan could see clearly that the strong men were covered in coal dust, that's why they were so black!
Heng Luan shook his head in disbelief.
Coal mining... Coal mining...
He, the great Buddha, had fallen to the point of being kidnapped and forced to work in a black kiln to dig coal...
"Let me go!"
"Help me... Master... I don't want to dig coal, let me go back!"
The two people's cries for help echoed in the empty coal yard, lingering.
…
Heng Lin just found out that Heng Luan was missing, and hurried to look for Shangguan Qingwan. At that time, Shangguan Qingwan was playing with Shangguan Qingyue, so Shangguan Qingyue also knew that Heng Luan was missing.
Out of curiosity, Shangguan Qingyue took the initiative to find Zhao Ying and asked her to send someone to look for him.
Zhao Ying couldn't bear the little baby's pleading, so he informed Jingzhao Yin and asked him to find it.
Unexpectedly, after searching for half a year, when Heng Luan was rescued from the black kiln, the fair and tender pretty monk had turned into a black monkey. The scar on his forehead, which he regarded as a shame, was in perfect harmony with his skin color, and he no longer had to worry about it.
But that’s a story for later, so I won’t discuss it for now…
