Chapter 138: Master monk, why do you draw so many rain-seeking charms?
Although Beiling is not far from the imperial city, the people of Beiling have been living in extreme poverty in recent years due to heavy taxes and poor royal control.
Most of the fields are planted with flowers and medicinal herbs from the Western Regions. The land where the people grow food has been occupied, which makes everyone live frugally every winter.
The people's lives are still miserable, so they don't feel much about the Wei Dynasty's invasion and looting of the city.
It's just that when everything settles down, they go out of the house.
Looking at the mess, they clean up and continue their lives.
Sending New Year gifts was the idea of Beidi.
At that time, little Ruoxi was also there, and she thought it was good, so Xiao Yin and Xiao Yue discussed and decided to satisfy Bei Di's wish.
"Why not? All the people in the city are collecting it. After you take it back, they won't ask you for it back. You can get enough living expenses for one month in seven days." Dong Ju persuaded the people around her.
"That's right. If you have money, don't you look like a fool?"
Some people were tempted and started to go to collect it.
The cloth bag contained a handful of red dates and five copper coins.
One copper coin can buy three black-faced steamed buns, and five copper coins can feed one person for five days. If you save some, you can eat for seven or eight days.
Someone took the lead, and others followed.
On the third day of the New Year, the whole capital was already bustling.
The Lord of Bei Di was polite.
The Lord of Beidi is a kind person.
"The Lord of Beidi said that the red flowers in the fields on the other side of the mountain will be removed and corn and beans will be planted."
"Yes, the Emperor of Wei said that our city will be exempted from taxes for one year next year. We will see everyone's harvest and then decide what to do the year after next. So, I think I see hope again."
The street was originally deserted, but it became lively in just three days.
"Simple and rough, you have to use money to win people's hearts!"
This is what Ruoxi baby said when she agreed with Beidi.
"Beidi has been in the Beiling Palace for many years. Later, he has been lingering in casinos and brothels. He understands the temptation of human nature in front of money best!" Xiao Yin said.
"Who in this world doesn't love money?" Xiao Yue said. Two
days later, Jing En came, but Ci Xin still didn't show up.
"Where's my little master? Where's my master?" Jing En arrived in Haiyue City and immediately looked for his little master.
"Xi'er is sleeping in the room." Xiao Yue said.
So, Master Jing En, regardless of the long journey, stood at the door of his little master's room, holding a bunch of things, waiting quietly.
No matter who tried to persuade him, it was useless.
Baby Ruoxi woke up and saw an old face as soon as she opened her eyes, but it was still good-looking.
"This old guy must have been good-looking when he was young, and he's still very good-looking now that he's old!"
"Hehe, little master, look, what did your disciple bring you?" Jing'en opened the cloth bag in his arms and shook it out: "Golden silk soft armor, invulnerable to swords and guns, and not susceptible to water or fire."
"This thing is pretty good!" Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when he saw the soft armor: "I heard that this thing is very labor-intensive. It's only available in Cangming Mountain and won't appear anywhere else, so you..."
"Oh, this abbot went to Cangming Mountain and asked that old guy Bai Cangming for it!" Jing'en said.
"Did you ask the dean for it?" Why did Xiao Yue not believe it? "He's a stingy guy, how can you ask for it?"
Jing En looked a little embarrassed, but the next moment, he said with a smile: "Hey, if I go, of course I can get it, but it's not certain if you go, but that old guy Bai Cangming said that when you have time, take your daughter to see him. Don't think he's dead, he hasn't been seen for so many years."
"Oh!" Xiao Yue rolled her eyes: "He still remembers me? Doesn't he dislike me for being clumsy and say that Ci Xin, that monster, is better and smarter than me!"
"Tsk, what are you jealous of?" Xiao Yin said from the side, angrily: "The child is so big, but he is still like a child."
"It's okay, it's okay, the old guy particularly loves this disciple." Jing'en said, and looked at baby Ruoxi. Seeing that she didn't have much interest in the silk soft armor, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Master, do you look down on this?" Jing'en asked.
"This thing is of no use to me. Besides, Yebai may not be able to hurt me." Baby Ruoxi talked to the old man in her heart. She looked at the old man and asked, "Where is the talisman I asked you to draw? Have you made any progress these days?"
"I drew it, I drew it!" Jing'en took out a lot of papers from the package, spread them out on the bed one by one, then he hugged baby Ruoxi, turned her around, and let her lie on his arms and look down.
Baby Ruoxi: "..."
At this moment, as a baby, she was speechless and very sad.
What kind of posture is this!
This posture made the big devil feel very strange.
She was actually held upside down.
When Dongju and Nanny Jin entered the room, their faces were full of surprise and helplessness.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is beside them. If the master doesn't say anything, what can they, the servants, do?
Look, the whole couch is covered with talismans, and the bald old monk is holding a little girl and letting her see the talismans.
If it were an ordinary family, they would definitely think that the monk is crazy, and they would also think that the eldest princess is stupid.
However, Master Jingen is different. He is the most powerful and enlightened monk in the world.
Baby Ruoxi is different, she is the smartest and cutest baby in the world.
"Rain-making talismans, immobilization talismans, invisibility talismans... Oh, the invisibility talisman is a bit weak, it would be better to have more, so that I can attack Yebai later."
"Why did you draw so many rain-making talismans? It's winter now, we don't need so much rain!"
"Master, I drew them for trial. These rain-making talismans are all different. Some are for light rain, some are for moderate rain, and some are for heavy rain. I think, if necessary, those ponds can be filled in an hour." Jing'en whispered to baby Ruoxi.
Baby Ruoxi was confused again.
She began to doubt that this bald donkey was called a high-level monk. What kind of Tao did he get? What kind of high-level monk was he?
So stupid.
"Prepare more invisibility talismans with greater energy. I can feel that Yebai is coming." Baby Ruoxi turned to look at Jing'en.
"Okay, okay." Jing'en nodded immediately.
Afterwards, he returned Xiao Xi'er to the princess, cleared the talismans on the couch, and ran out. He
went to the next room and started to draw the talismans again.
"Don't worry about him. He always does things in a mysterious way!"
