There was a subtle sound of "dong-dong-dong" on the altar that was originally gathering dust. He felt that the ancestor seemed to have something to say, so he washed his hands and applied incense to mark good or bad luck.
As a result... the fallen incense ash turned out to be in the shape of a beautiful lotus flower!
"This is a good sign! I haven't burned such good incense for half a year..."
Fang Yunhe cried with joy. At that time, he thought that his ancestor had forgiven him and lifted his punishment, but it turned out not to be the case. He was still an unlucky guy, and even touching the magic talisman would invalidate the spell.
"It wasn't until I met you that I finally realized that this lotus bloomed not because of me, but because of you!"
Fang Yunhe said that meeting was fate. I could see that his method was not working, and I kindly reminded him not to smash the sign, proving that I was his noble person.
"I don't know if you are a noble person or not. I just think you are a nice person and you help my sister-in-law stand out. You are a real person."
I didn't think much about it at first, but after Fang Yunhe said this, I also felt that today's events had their own arrangements. If any link was missing, Fang Yunhe and I would not be sitting here.
Could it be that the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty really appeared?
"I believe that Grandmaster will not give me random hints. The incense stick today is telling me that my turning point has come!" Fang Yunhe looked at me with bright eyes, like a lean wolf who had been hungry for a long time before dying. Saw a piece of meat.
I felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and I asked in a panic: "Master Fang, what on earth do you want to do?"
Fang Yunhe quickly withdrew his penetrating gaze and said with a grin, "Master Wen, can we cooperate?"
He has been in seclusion for half a year. In the past six months, countless vegetarians have approached him, but he has pushed them away. However, the business is still flowing, which makes him upset just looking at them.
Fang Yunhe said with a sad face: "To be honest, I have had no income for half a year. If I continue like this, I will just sit on my hands and wait to starve to death."
Although he is a cultivator, he is still a human being in the flesh. He needs food, drink, and money to maintain his life.
"Those masters who treat money like dirt are talking nonsense! Can we Taoist priests survive by eating immortal energy? We also need to make money. This is the reasonable income allowed by the ancestors, but we can only take as much money as we want. Less, it depends on one’s conscience.”
In today's world, many sanctimonious Taoist priests, monks, and mages are amassing money everywhere in the name of Taoism and making a lot of money. It's best for those people to sleep with their eyes open, otherwise, they may be taken over by black and white impermanence in the middle of the night. gone.
That kind of money is short-lived money. You can make money but you can't spend it. In the end, it's all in vain.
Fang Yunhe told me that apart from maintaining basic living expenses and saving a small amount for medical treatment, all the money he made from his practice was donated to Taoist temples or to help the poor, and he had no savings at all.
In the past six months, he had to pay for whatever he did, and whatever he did didn't go well. One day, the faucet at home burst out for no reason, flooding the residents downstairs. He paid tens of thousands in renovation expenses, emptied his entire family fortune, and even I owe fellow Taoist 15,000 yuan.
If he doesn't make money, he will really starve to death.
After listening to what he said, I sympathized but felt a little strange. If he wanted to find someone to cooperate with to make money, he could just ask his fellow disciples or fellow Taoists from other sects. Why would he ask me to cooperate with Mi Po?
Hearing this, Fang Yunhe sighed again: "Don't you think I haven't looked for him? As long as he is a member of the Taoist sect and worships the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, he can't help me. Anyone who cooperates with me will not be able to do his magic."
It seems that this time the Patriarch punished him really severely.
In this isolated and helpless situation, in order to survive, he registered as an online ride-hailing driver on a certain platform and changed a mobile phone number that attracted wealth to specifically take orders.
The list has indeed increased a lot, and he has also earned a month's living expenses. Perhaps he was too tired and drove tiredly, or perhaps he was possessed by a degenerate spirit and his car crashed!
"My car is still in the repair shop. The engine is probably dead..." Not to mention using money to buy a new car, he even borrowed money for towing the car.
"If you agree, I can introduce you to customers, and you can draw me some achievements, so that my life is guaranteed and I can accumulate merit." Fang Yunhe looked at me expectantly.
To be honest, I'm quite excited.
Fang Yunhe has been working hard in Yuncheng for many years and has become somewhat famous. The resources in his hands are probably ten times or a hundred times that of mine. If I can connect with this line, I can save a lot of trouble.
If it's just this kind of cooperation, that's totally fine.
"You just said you would take a commission, how much exactly would you take?" I spoke cautiously. Some things are better stated openly.
"Thirty-seven points, seven for you and three for me!" Fang Yunhe said.
I shook my head: "No, 30% is too much. I also have a business partner who wants to take a share. In this way, I can only increase the price, and the people who come to see the business will suffer the most."
I don’t want to increase the price. After all, it’s already hard enough for so many people to come and see. I can’t bear to let people spend another penny.
Some people may ask, I already split 70%, why do I want to increase the price instead of giving in?
I have to give part of my money to Ah Hua, and then I have to rescue people in need, buy cat and dog food for stray cats and dogs, and donate incense money to Baiyun Temple on a regular basis. In fact, there is not much left for me.
If I compress it any more, I will have to tighten my belt and drink the northwest wind.
It’s the same old saying: He who saves others must first save himself. If I can’t save myself, how can I have the strength to “save all sentient beings”?
Seeing that I refused to give in, Fang Yunhe lowered his head and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's just make friends. We will be 28 points, and I will be 2 points with you."
It was not easy for him to take this step. As if I was afraid that he would regret it, I immediately made the decision: "Okay, it's settled..."
Fang Yunhe and I left each other's contact information, and by chance, a owner of the restaurant on his WeChat was looking for him, saying that his daughter had a strange disease and wanted him to take a look.
Fang Yunhe said he would go take a look first and contact me at any time for specific details.
After we separated, the sky had completely darkened. I was about to buy some Malatang and go back to the dormitory, when Jiang Lanyue appeared next to me like a ghost.
He stared at Fang Yunhe's back with a deep look: "This Fang Yunhe is very powerful. I can't even get close to him as long as he is by your side."
"What?" I thought he was hiding on purpose, but it turned out that he couldn't get close.
"Then can I still cooperate with him?" I asked anxiously.
Jiang Lanyue didn't stop me from getting along with Fang Yunhe, nor did she object to our cooperation. She just reminded: "When you do things with him, you have to keep your eyes open in everything."
I nodded obediently: "Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely do it... As long as it is a guest introduced by him, you can help me check the details, just in case."
Jiang Lanyue nodded, as if he sensed something. His ears moved obviously, and he turned around and walked in the other direction.
Seeing that I was still dumbfounded, he paused and turned his head: "Follow me quickly, there is something going on in the rental house..."
