Chapter 2 Do You Know The Monk?
After leaving Zuimengfang, Lin Sheng went straight out of the city.
Passing through a bamboo forest, an unknown small temple appeared in sight, and wisps of smoke rose from the courtyard.
Lin Sheng opened the ajar door of the temple and walked in. Two young monks of seven or eight years old were busy chopping wood and making a fire in the courtyard.
One of the older monks saw Lin Sheng and his eyes lit up: "Brother Lin, are you here?"
Lin Sheng smiled, took out a bag of candy from his arms and handed it to the young monk: "Where is your master?"
"Master went to the city to beg for alms." The two young monks couldn't wait to peel off the sugar coating and put the dark candy into their mouths.
Then he showed a happy expression: "It's so sweet."
Is it sweet? The candy from Qinghe County had a peculiar earthy smell that Lin Sheng couldn't get used to. He touched the young monk's bald head and said, "I'm going to burn incense sticks." Then he walked towards the temple.
On the altar stands a seven-foot Buddha statue. The upper body of the Buddha statue is naked and densely carved with Sanskrit characters.
Lin Sheng picked up three sticks of incense from the altar, lit them with some fire control skills, and with a pious look on his face, bowed three times and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Before transmigration, Lin Sheng was a staunch materialist warrior. Since transmigrating, especially when transmigrating into the world of Xianxia, he has always entered temples and worshiped statues, regardless of whether they are Buddhas or demons, demons or immortals, he just wants peace of mind.
"Haha, my little friend is quite an interesting person." A burst of hearty laughter came from behind.
Lin Sheng turned around and looked at the old monk who walked into the hall. He was in the middle stage of Qi Refining. He was wearing a golden cassock and holding a Buddhist bead. He had kind eyes and a pair of big ears, which was particularly eye-catching.
Lin Sheng hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry for bothering you, Master. I have nothing to do today, so I came here to offer incense."
The monk sighed with a smile on his face: "If these Dongzhou monks are as pious as my little friend, the Taoism of our Great Buddha Temple can be passed down."
Do you know that the monk is a monk from the Great Buddha Temple in the Northern Territory? It is rumored that the Demon Dao in the Northern Territory is so powerful that it oppresses the decent ones and has no choice but to send preachers to other Immortal Cultivation Worlds.
There are hundreds of thousands of mountains between the North Territory and Dongzhou, where monsters are active, and there are many dangerous peaks and dangerous places. Few monks can cross the hundreds of thousands of mountains, and I don't know how the monks came to Qinghe County.
Every monk has his or her own secret, and Lin Sheng has no interest in getting to the bottom of it.
Do you know that it is a joke that the monk wants to preach in Dongzhou? There are big sects in Qi, Yue and Zhao in Dongzhou, and there are countless small sects. How can we allow the flag to be planted in the big Buddhist temple?
In this bitter cold place, do you know if a monk can open an unknown small temple and secretly recruit a few disciples?
Qinghe County has a population of tens of thousands, how many children can have Spirit Root? Blackstone City further south has a population of hundreds of thousands and holds a spirit testing conference every year, but Monk Zhifu obviously does not dare to go.
Lin Sheng understood in his heart and smiled without saying a word.
Monk Zhihu sighed with emotion and then regained his solemn expression: "My little friend, please come into the inner room to talk. The poor monk has picked a few kilograms of new bamboo leaf tea, and I also invite my little friend to taste it."
"Thank you, Master. I would rather obey my orders than I am respectful."
Lin Sheng is not afraid that Monk Zhifou has any evil intentions. Firstly, he has known Monk Zhifou for three years and often communicates over tea. Secondly, as a direct descendant of the Lin family, he still has a life-saving trump card. I understand that the old monk does not Dare to act rashly.
Cultivation as an immortal is not just about fighting and killing, there is also some worldliness.
"This tea is very good." Lin Sheng sipped the tea lightly. He didn't drink it at all, he just touched his lower lip. Moreover, he didn't understand tea. He could only judge whether the tea was good or bad based on the concentration of spiritual energy.
And this bamboo leaf tea is an ordinary product, with no spiritual energy fluctuations at all.
Monk Zhifu smiled and said, "If you like it, little friend, take some back with you before you leave."
Lin Sheng shook his head and said: "A gentleman does not take what others like. Master, you should keep this bamboo leaf tea for yourself."
Did you know that the monk showed regret on his face, as if missing Lin Sheng as a tea friend was a great regret in his life.
"Little friend, I see that you have stayed in the early stage of Qi Refining for a long time, and your heart is devoted to my Buddha. How about you practice Buddhism in my Great Buddha Temple instead?"
"I accept the kindness of the master." Lin Sheng refused without thinking. He just wanted to pray to Buddha, but he didn't want to become a monk. It was strange today. Why did everyone he met asked him to change his religion? Kung Fu.
Do you know that the monk is unwilling to give up: "It's a pity that the Dharma of our Great Buddha Temple is a supreme and wonderful method. It can move mountains and fill seas. It is extremely powerful and can directly reach the Gold Core Realm."
"You, a Qi Refining monk whose body is half buried in the earth, tell me that your Dharma is extraordinary?" Lin Sheng was scornful in his heart, but there was a look of regret on his face: "The clan's destiny cannot be violated. If you violate it, your soul will be destroyed."
"This is the poor monk Meng Lang." Monk Zhihuo showed a look of regret and said no more.
If the soul is destroyed, it is natural to fool the old monk. The cultivating family relies on unity. How can you expect the clan members to repay the family if you cast a forbidden curse on the members of your own family?
Lin Sheng is not sure whether the Foundation Building family will cast a forbidden curse, but his family definitely does not do this. However, the monk obviously does not understand the family situation in Dongzhou. According to the atmosphere of Demon Dao in the Northern Territory, he casts a forbidden curse. Maybe it's a common thing.
The Buddhist method that can be practiced to the Gold Core Realm is definitely better than the Lin family's Qi Entrainment Technique, but the monk obviously won't give it away for free, so Lin Sheng just thought about it and then forgot about it.
Now he just wanted to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining. This was the top priority. Afterwards, the two exchanged their cultivation experiences and gained a lot. Lin Sheng stood up and left.
Monk Zhifu did not break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining until he was forty-three years old. This shows that his qualifications are extremely mediocre. He can only stay at the middle stage of Qi Refining in this life. In a few decades, he will probably turn into a handful of loess.
"With my Middle Grade Spirit Root qualifications, I'm afraid I can only practice to the Qi Refining Late Stage. This is really unacceptable."
Lin Sheng was walking on the street, feeling sad.
Suddenly, a dirty little beggar appeared from the roadside and knelt in front of Lin Sheng: "Sir, please give me some food, my sister is starving to death."
Lin Sheng glanced at the little beggar expressionlessly and left straight away. The wine and meat smelled stinky, and there were bones frozen to death on the road. This world is so cruel. If the monk hadn't been transmigrated to him, he would have been one of the frozen bones on the roadside. elements.
The little beggar looked at Lin Sheng's back as he walked further and further away, his eyes becoming more and more desperate.
"Alas." Feeling the gaze behind him, Lin Sheng sighed softly. After all, he couldn't treat ordinary people like grass. People who practice Taoism may become inner demons in the future if they go against their will.
Lin Sheng came back, threw a few gold ingots in front of the little beggar, then turned and left.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The little beggar was full of excitement and kowtowed desperately. After several movements, his forehead was already stained with blood.
For Lin Sheng, worldly money is just an external possession, and gold ingots are just what he collected casually when he was transmigrated.
Throwing a few gold ingots calmed his mind. As for whether the little beggar could keep the gold ingots or whether he would be killed because of the gold ingots, he didn't care about Lin Sheng.
Spirit Medicine Court.
When Qiao Shengsheng's maid saw Lin Sheng coming back, she hurriedly greeted him: "Fifth brother, you are back. Sister Lin Yan just sent some spiritual stones."
The maid said as she took out an exquisite wooden box from behind the counter. Lin Sheng opened it and saw that there were fifteen Low Grade spiritual stones inside.
Fifteen Low Grade spiritual stones are probably Lin Yan's salary for one year, and Lin Sheng, as a direct lineage, has thirty-five Low Grade spiritual stones for one year.
"You lent me a year's salary. This is quite a favor." Lin Sheng thought to himself and put the spirit stone into his storage bag.
The pretty maid looked envious when she saw the storage bag. Storage bags are not common among Qi Refining monks. Most of the Qi Refining Late Stage monks have spare money to buy storage bags. Even Lin Yanlian storage bags There are no bags.
Lin Sheng naturally saw the envious look of the maid and smiled slightly: "Work hard, the income of the store will increase, and I will also give you a storage bag."
The maid looked excited when she heard this, and her pretty face turned red: "I will definitely do it well."
Lin Sheng nodded with satisfaction and went to the elegant hall on the second floor. Painting cakes is that simple.
This maid is a member of the Lin family's side clan, with mediocre qualifications. She is currently only a first-level Qi Refining monk, and she usually helps Lin Sheng.
Spirit Medicine Pavilion usually doesn't do much business. After all, it is a bitter cold place with very few monks.
But once a monk enters the store, he will inevitably make a lot of money. After all, there is only one Qinghe County within a hundred miles, and there is only one monk store in Spirit Medicine Pavilion in the county.
The Spirit Medicine Pavilion mainly sells some elixirs that replenish spiritual power, detoxify and replenish qi. The quality is poor. They are all inferior elixirs that have been eliminated in Xiuxianfang City.
But when these low-quality elixirs arrive in a bitter cold land, their value will immediately change. Independent Cultivators who have seen the world naturally disdain these low-quality elixirs, but there are many Independent Cultivators in this world who have never seen the world. This is what the Lin family does. People's business.
Qi Replenishing Pills may only cost twenty spiritual crystals in Xiuxianfang City, but in Qinghe County, the price will at least double.
Don’t want to buy it because it’s too expensive? Then go somewhere else. Blackstone City, five hundred miles to the south, sells it cheaper, but there are countless Rogue Cultivators along the way, so you should be careful about your luggage.
Before the Lin family came to Qinghe County, there were still some Independent Cultivators doing this kind of business, but it was not very stable. After all, Independent Cultivators were to a certain extent Rogue Cultivators, and the business started to get fierce.
After the Lin family came to Qinghe County to plant their flag, which Independent Cultivator would dare to do this kind of business? Is it not giving the Lin family face? If you can't defeat those big families, can you still defeat a few low-level Independent Cultivators?
Although the Spirit Medicine Pavilion is just a two-story building, there is a Rank One formation inside. With the Rank One formation, Lin Sheng dares to fight against the Qi Refining Late Stage monks.
What's more, there is also a Zuimengfang on West Street, and the two flags of the Lin family are not just pulled out by some cats and dogs.
To some extent, Qinghe County is the Qinghe County of the Lin family.
