Chapter 665: Blessing is a panacea
. Everyone was confused. Does the blessing this person talks about mean the same thing as the previous false blessing? How could it be a panacea? How could it prolong life?
When they got closer, everyone saw the man clearly, showing shock and shrinking back.
Li Qingxian looked at this young man. He had an average appearance, slightly white skin, and a jagged beard that looked like it was cut by a sickle, stained with tiny stains.
He was wearing blue clothes that had been washed white, with holes at the elbows and knees, and thin cotton threads sticking out.
The black character "福" on the body has also been worn away a lot, and the corners are missing.
This man's clothes were baggy and didn't fit him well. The scabbard at his waist was broken, revealing a rusty long knife.
This man's legs were only worn in torn shorts. The exposed calf was extremely thick, thicker than the thigh. The surface of the left calf was covered with brown bark, and the right leg was shaped like a gray rock. There were looming blood vessels among the rocks and bark.
His abdomen was swollen, as if there was a big ball hidden inside.
He walked stiffly and slowly, and his stomach kept shaking from side to side, making a gurgling sound like a bubbling water ball.
Li Qingxian took another look at the people not far away. They were sallow and thin, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes. Their clothes were shabby and white after washing, and they didn't wear any shoes.
They are all the same as those who came here, with some strange looks on their bodies.
Some people have two heads standing on their shoulders, some have right hands that are three feet long, and some have a circle of wild grass around their necks.
Everyone said nothing and looked at Li Qingxian.
Li Qingxian said: "Brother, what do you mean by blessing? In addition, are there any special rules in this place? The kind of rules where people will disappear if you talk nonsense and open your mouth." The man smiled and said
: "Blessings are blessings. As soon as you come in, you will inevitably encounter blessings from your neighbors, and they will ask for blessings in return. Anyway, you don't know what they want, so you can only accept their blessings. Their blessings are what I call blessings."
Yu Ping said: "But isn't that... something that cannot be said? How can it be a panacea and prolong life?"
The man laughed and said: "Haha, you were also deceived by the outside world and thought this was a trick? Wrong, this It is a blessed land and a blessed town. Those blessings sent are all good things. Blessings are panaceas, and blessings can prolong life." Everyone became
more confused, and some even looked at the man warily.
After all, everyone clearly remembers what happened before, and they cannot forget it so quickly.
The man glanced at the crowd, showing a dumbfounded look, and said: "You have really misunderstood. By the way, are you worried that this is a treacherous place with all kinds of treacherous rules? No, only when the full moon hangs in the sky, there will be some small things. , but it will pass soon, it’s nothing. Look, I said it’s okay, isn’t it?”
“May I ask your name?” Han Anbo said.
"My last name is Xu and my last name is Changren. Really, nothing will happen except for the full moon in the sky. If I were to lie to you, I wouldn't even tell you about the full moon in the sky." Han Anbo said, "Then I'll let you say something
. Do you dare to say it?"
"Dare, what's wrong with you?" Xu Changren said.
Han Anbo said: "People are gone, what do you say here?"
"People are dead." "
What do you say here about Zhonggui?"
"We don't have Zhonggui here, only Zhongfu," Xu Changren suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I kindly advise you not to confuse people with your evil words. There are no tricks in Fu Town, only blessings. You are newcomers, so there is nothing wrong with you. But if you leave this place and mention that word again, you will be severely punished. I think you are worthy of it. Officials are decent people who will accumulate virtue and enter the Shangshan Mountains in the future, so I advise you. If it were an ordinary person, I would have gone under the knife a long time ago." Li Qingxian, Han Anbo and others looked at each other, and their hearts sank.
"Where is the upper mountain area?" Han Anbo pointed to the brightly lit mansion in the middle of the mountain.
Xu Changren turned his head and looked over, sighing: "Yes, that's the Shangshan District. Masters, I don't have much ability, but I'm a hard-nosed person who works hard. When you enter the Shangshan District, if you need helpers and followers, you can come to me. I hope you will be satisfied. I have bad luck. I have only won three blessings in the past two years. I hope I can follow you for a long time."
Some people were confused after hearing this. Is there something wrong with this person's brain? How come it is luck to win so few blessings? Not good, but how can you survive for a long time despite being unlucky?
But others frowned slightly, their expressions getting heavier.
Li Qingxian said: "Since this is not a treacherous place and there are no treacherous rules, what are the rules of Fuzhen?"
Xu Changren smiled and said: "This gentleman is smart, Fuzhen naturally has the rules of Fuzhen. The first rule of Fuzhen , that is, everything must be obeyed by the town government, and everything must be obeyed by the mayor, no need to say more about this, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"The second rule is that everyone must accumulate virtue. If you accumulate more virtue, you can buy a good house, you can even go to the mountains, you can exchange money, and you can do almost anything." "The third rule is that everyone must
go When registering at the lower yamen, the lower grade must hand over half of their belongings and exchange them for virtue. The middle grade must hand over 20% of their belongings, while the upper grade does not need to hand over and gets one thousand virtues for free. By the way, once you have saved ten thousand virtues, you can apply. They are living in Shangshan District. These are masters who are going to enter Shangshan District. They are different from us. I am envious..."
Li Qingxian said: "Please tell me a few important rules first. We will talk about other rules later. "
Han Anbo took a few steps forward, walked to the door, took out a large amount of money, and stuffed it into Xu Changren's hand.
Xu Changren's eyes lit up and he said, "You can't do this. If Mr. Fu sees it, he will be punished. However, this will not happen next time." He put away the copper coins.
The brocade-clad merchants breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Changren said in a voice that could only be heard by people close by: "You all have extraordinary origins and are going to enter Shangshan District. Therefore, the Yamen will give you some face. You may know the big shots in Shangshan District. Let's get some ideas first. Virtue, it is most important to go and live in Shangshan District first. Remember, the most important thing is to enter and live in Shangshan District before the first full moon hangs in the sky. This is the most important, everything else comes second." The people behind listened
. Not yet, he took two steps, stopped again, and looked at Li Qingxian hesitantly.
Li Qingxian sent a message and said: "Zhongfu, is it good or not?"
Xu Changren stared at Li Qingxian and said slowly: "Fu is a panacea, and blessing can prolong life."
A stack of banknotes appeared in Li Qingxian's hand.
Xu Changren smiled and said, "Mr. Ye Wei, only copper coins, gold and silver are useful here. Which bank can I exchange silver notes for?" The
expressions of the merchants in brocade clothes behind changed.
"Of course, go out and change." Li Qingxian said.
Xu Changren smiled. Every inch of skin, every wrinkle, and every part seemed to be entangled with bitterness.
"You will understand if you stay here for a few more days. There are cashiers, but so far, no one has used them..." Xu Changren looked deeply at Li Qingxian and said, "Of course, it is said that decades ago, Nanfu A noble man came out of the town and left, but in our town of Xifu, no one has ever needed a banknote, never! I hope you can understand, I can't say more about anything else," Xu Changren said.
