Ning Yu looked at the painting carefully.
Mo Chen knew that he had a wide range of knowledge in this field, so he might be able to see some clues.
"Is the pendant that big?"
"That's right."
This pendant is really not big, about an inch long, and about the size of a peach pit.
"It doesn't make sense." Ning Yu shook his head.
Mo Chen was not disappointed if he couldn't see it, if he could see it at a glance, then they would have seen it a long time ago.
"I don't know how many rare things there are in the world. I can only see as many as I can. I will keep this drawing and bring it back to my master to see. Maybe my master has seen it."
"Okay, I'll let you worry about it."
"Hey, whoever we are with, Junior Brother Yun is the same as my Junior Brothers."
In fact, it is still not the same. The relationship between Ning Yu and his senior brothers is actually not very good. It's not a master's, and it's also a face-to-face and a heart-to-heart disagreement to barely maintain it. As a master, other people inevitably have a higher level of thinking, Hu Zhenren treats Ning Yu more seriously, and there are quite a few people who are not angry among the same sect.
Tianji Mountain has a large number of people, which is not comparable to Huiliu Mountain. But for Ning Yu to choose, he would rather his own family be like Huiliu Mountain, with fewer people and less right and wrong.
However, although there are few people in Huiliu Mountain, something like Chen Jingzhi happened, which shows that there are people and things that are not worrying about it.
Ning Yu didn't come empty-handed, he brought a gift.
It's not something else, one person and one talisman, to protect the peace. Whether it is useful or not, it is always someone else's intention. Xiaodong was so curious when he received the Taoist talisman, he couldn't help opening the bag to have a look as soon as he turned around.
It's just a piece of yellow paper with talismans drawn on it that most people can't recognize, and it's stored in a small bag. It looks inconspicuous, and it feels light to the touch, but it is said that this talisman is hard to find outside, and the talisman of Tianji Mountain is not available to everyone. As a result, Ning Yu's shot, even if everyone has a share, will not fail, and it doesn't look precious at all.
When Mo Chen came in, he saw Xiaodong holding up the talisman paper, looking left and right, looking fascinated.
"See what mystery is coming?"
Xiaodong cheerfully put down the paper, his movements were very careful. Such a thin piece of paper can be torn by accident, and a good thing is wasted, so of course you have to be careful.
"It doesn't matter. Ning Yu picked up the pen and drew a hundred or eighty sheets at once. If you are willing, you can paste it all over the room." Mo Chen said with a smile: "There is no need to be so trembling."
Xiaodong was stunned, holding the paper and shaking it: "This... is this a lie?"
"It's not always true to say that it's a lie. People who ask for amulets mostly want peace of mind. Besides, things that are hard to come by for those who file a case are not rare for Tianji Mountain at all."
"Since it's not rare, why is it so hard to find money?" Xiaodong didn't understand the inconsistency of this sentence for a while.
Mo Chen glanced at him: "Things are rare and precious."
oh…
Xiaodong blinked and understood.
At the same time as he understood, the tall and mysterious image of Tianji Mountain in his mind collapsed by such a corner.
It turns out that the people in Tianji Mountain are the same as the profiteers who do small business in the market.
Mo Chen also knew that the younger brother was more like that, um, simple, and patiently explained to him one or two things.
"If a sect wants to survive, it needs many conditions. One of the most important ones is to have money."
Xiaodong's face was wrinkled, obviously he felt that these words sounded a bit awkward.
Mo Chen smiled and rubbed his head.
"I know what you are thinking. When I was young, I also thought that raising money was a common thing. When I mentioned this, I felt that I had lost my value. It was very embarrassing. But then I took over some chores from Master. I gradually understood the mundane affairs. People who practice Taoism are still human beings, not gods. They cannot eat wind and drink dew. There is an old man Geng celebrating his birthday, Master can’t go there empty-handed, right? Where did the gifts come from?”
Xiaodong scratched his head: "Senior brother makes sense, so where do we get our basic necessities?"
They don't know how to sell talismans, they don't know how to tell fortunes, and they don't know how to make a living.
"You don't have to worry about that." Seeing his tangled appearance, Mo Chen wanted to tease him: "In short, you just don't need to be hungry."
Of course, Xiaodong believes that senior brother will not let him go hungry, but he guessed that Huiliu Mountain is definitely not the kind of rich and powerful place. Usually, what they wear and eat is simple and unadorned. There is never anything fancy about their flowers and clothes, and they are never extravagant about their food. There may not be much income in Huiliu Mountain, so everyone's life is very poor.
Xiaodong thought, he is still young and has not learned any skills. After a few more years, he will be able to use it, so he must find a way to earn some money for the sect, so that the master and senior brothers can live more comfortably and comfortably.
He didn't express what was going on in his stomach, but Mo Chen could see it.
"Money is indeed necessary to live a life. However, things like money are things outside of the body after all, and enough is enough. People who practice the Tao should cultivate their bodies and minds and not be disturbed by external things, so there is no need to worry about it. How much effort." After a pause, Mo Chen took Tianji Mountain as an example: "The family of Tianji Mountain has a great career, and there are many disciples, but the sect is getting bigger and bigger, and the disciples of the sect are mixed, but there are very few who really stand out. Hu Zhenren used to Speaking of the fight for power in the school, I am also very helpless, I feel that these people are restrained by common affairs, but they have left the matter of cultivating the Tao, which is really putting the cart before the horse."
Xiaodong sat up straight, and replied very seriously: "Senior brother taught me, I wrote it down."
"Okay, this is not outside, and you don't need to be so serious." Mo Chen put the talisman paper back for him, and handed it back to him.
"Okay, go get ready, it's time to take a bath."
Xiaodong obediently responded.
From the beginning of spring, the brother let him soak in the medicine bath every few days, saying that it is good for the bones. Xiaodong knows that he is not talented, and he has to work harder than others if he wants to take this path, so he will do what his senior brother says. It has been soaked twice so far, and the effect is still not obvious. I also know that this kind of thing will not be effective immediately. I am afraid that the effect may not be seen after soaking ten or eight times.
Before, Xiaodong just felt a little uncomfortable when taking the medicine bath, but now he was more worried.
How much does it cost him to make a bucket of medicinal juice every time? You won't make master and brother poor, right
With something on his mind, Xiaodong was a little absent-minded when he took off his clothes and tied his hair.
It wasn't cold anymore, Xiaodong took off only her jacket and underpants, her hair was tied tightly on her head, wrapped in a single robe, and ran into the room where the medicinal bath was soaked.
Mo Chen had already prepared the concoction, he stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, then turned his head and said, "Okay, come in." (To be continued)
