"Miss, please rest here first. I will go and inform the abbot." Wangyue pushed her into an elegant Zen room, and the compassion in his eyes turned into greed when he closed the door.
Chen Shuyi sneered while touching the red hairpin on her temples. As soon as the woman in plain clothes left the house, she climbed out of the window and followed the system's instructions to climb over the wall and come to the Zen room of the abbot Xuan Yue.
She pinched the hairpin to pry open the secret compartment under the bed, and found a yellow booklet hidden inside. The three big words "Cloud and Rain Art" came into view. When she opened it, the dual cultivation posture shown in the illustration was really eye-catching.
There was also something like an account book next to it. When I opened it, I saw that there was so much information recorded in it.
For example, "Mr. Zhang - one hundred taels of silver for a fourteen-year-old pure Yin girl", and there is also an elder of a certain sect who wants a few dual cultivation furnaces. Those masters who usually have kind faces and are known for their righteousness are so disgusting in private.
She took away the "Cloud and Rain Art" and the "account book" and said, "What a compassionate Yueyin Temple."
"I want to show everyone in the martial arts world, it's going to be really exciting."
Shen Shuyi put the booklet in his arms and just turned to leave. Not long after he returned to the Zen room, the door was pushed open.
Wangyue and Lianyue came in with an old nun in a purple cassock. The old nun was holding a rosary that was thicker than her wrist.
"The young donor looks kind, and I think he has a connection with the Buddha."
The nunnery headmistress Xuan Yue's voice was a little hoarse, "Why don't you become a nun here and let this old nun teach you the advanced skills?"
Shen Shuyi smiled and asked, "What superior technique?"
"Since this is a sect-wide technique, you must first enter our nunnery." Xuan Yue looked at the woman in front of her with satisfaction. "If you still have unfinished worldly ties, it's not too late to think it over before making a decision."
As soon as Xuanyue left, Wangyue and Lianyue brought tea and food. "Miss, you must be hungry after walking such a long way. Have some vegetarian food first."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. As long as you don't mind the blandness of the vegetarian meal."
Shen Shuyi sat down but didn’t touch the food.
Wangyue smiled and asked, "But it's not to your taste?"
"Well, I'm used to eating big fish and meat at home, and I don't like these vegetarian dishes without any meat." Shen Shuyi looked innocent.
"Then have some snacks to fill your stomach first." Lianyue pushed the snacks in front of her.
Shen Shuyi said thank you again, but did not do anything.
Wangyue and Lianyue looked at each other, their faces a little gloomy.
"Girl, what do you mean?"
"Do you know how many hungry people have no food to eat? You are so picky, thinking you are still a rich lady."
Nowadays, the imperial court is facing internal and external troubles, and there are uprisings and separatist movements among the people from time to time. The people are living in dire straits, and many of them are selling their children in exchange for food.
It was the kind-hearted nun of Yueyin Temple who took in these homeless civilian women and saved them from starvation.
Everyone is proud to convert to Yueyin Temple, and even some wealthy families send their daughters to Yueyin Temple to practice.
Yueyin Temple is the pure land in this troubled world. No matter whether you are oppressed common people or high-ranking officials, as long as you offer sacrifices here, you can obtain the protection and blessing of the Moon God, and be reborn into a prominent family in the next life without having to suffer.
Those who have money donate money, and those who have no money send their children, so that the Moon Goddess can see their efforts and receive blessings.
Chen Shuyi listened to Wangyue and Lianyue brainwashing her one by one, saying that Yueyin Temple was a pure land favored by the Moon God, and it was her blessing to have the opportunity to join Yueyin Temple.
She sneered, saying that the blessings bestowed by the Moon Goddess of Yueyin Temple were also divided into different levels. Those without money received children, while those with money received money. They all served the rich and powerful.
Pyramid schemes fool civilians, they are simply damned.
Seeing that she was unmoved by their persuasion, Wangyue and Lianyue felt she was playing a trick on them and immediately became angry. "Are you really the rich girl who ran away from marriage?"
"What else?" Shen Shuyi folded his arms in front of him and said jokingly.
"You guys insisted on forcing me to eat. Did you put some drugs in the food?"
Wangyue and Lianyue looked at each other and raised their hands to capture her.
Shen Shuyi pulled out the long whip from his waist and knocked the two men to the ground with a "snap".
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two women tried to escape in a hurry.
"Ah!" Before he could even crawl out of the door, Chen Shuyi stuffed a Gu pill into his mouth.
The woman in plain clothes exclaimed, "You, what did you give us to eat?"
"It's just a little poison. Be good and I'll give you the antidote."
"If you don't believe me, take a look at your wrists. Do you have a red mark on your wrists and feel suffocated?"
"Lady hero, please spare our lives. We will do whatever you say!" Wangyue and Lianyue worked for Master Xuanyue and had seen too many people in the martial arts world, many of whom knew how to use poison. Even Master Xuanyue was a master in poison research. The Hehuan Powder in the nunnery was developed by her.
Chen Shuyi mercifully threw a medicine bottle to them and said, "One pill can last for a month. I will give you the antidote next month."
"Now, take me to the storehouse of Yueyin Temple."
At the same time, in the front hall of Yueyin Temple, where the incense was burning, Master Xuanyue was turning her rosary beads and glancing at the believers kneeling in front of her.
“Some people’s hearts are still not sincere enough.”
A couple, kneeling on the ground in tattered clothes, trembled and cried out, "Moon God, we have come all the way here from the foot of the mountain, kneeling step by step. Our hearts are sincere and heaven and earth can bear witness...but our family simply cannot afford the incense money..."
There were many people in the same situation as them, all kneeling in line behind waiting for the nun to enlighten them.
Nun Xuan Yue snorted coldly, "People like you who hold back will be reborn as animals to be slaughtered in your next life!"
"If you want to live a good life in the afterlife..."
The nun's gaze fell on the thin girl between the couple. Her features were quite presentable.
"Forget it, forget it. The nunnery is recruiting more female disciples today, so let your daughter..."
Before Master Xuan Yue could finish his words, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the door.
"Master, someone is distributing food in front of the mountain gate!"
When those who were kneeling on the ground and still hungry heard this, their stomachs growled even louder.
In front of the hall, I don’t know which child spoke.
"Mom, I'm hungry. Can we go get some food?"
Someone outside was shouting, "Everyone hurry up, or you'll miss out on food if you're late!"
After the flood, the government didn't care about them, and they had been hungry for several days.
Those who were just listening to Master Xuan Yue's guidance ran out hungry.
Eat first. If you’re starving, you won’t have the energy to kneel down and pray to the Moon Goddess for protection.
Master Xuan Yue: “…”? ! !
She watched as people ran away in a swarm, something that had never happened before.
Master Xuan Yue looked at the guardians on her left and right, "What exactly is going on?"
"I don't know, I'll go check it out right now!"
In front of the mountain gate of Yueyin Temple, Chen Shuyi instructed the disciples of Yueyin Temple who were carrying out the food.
"Don't you see that the villagers are hungry? Hurry up and start cooking!"
"Yes, yes, fairy, we will do it right away!"
Chen Shuyi's own space was still there. She stored the gold, silver, and jewelry in the space, as well as a large stock of grain. She also had some of it carried to the front of the mountain gate by the disciples of Yueyin Temple who were controlled by her poison and distributed to the people guarding the gate.
The dusty, hungry and skinny people looked at the woman in the red dress standing on the high platform as if they saw a fairy descending from heaven!
