Looking south to Buzhou, Jishuixian Mansion. Xia
Wu Cheng and his wife Chong Ye Xiangu were in their tea garden watching their Jishui little demons take care of the tea garden. This was an annual activity.
Wu Cheng and his wife opened up a large tea field in a Feng Shui treasure land in the center of Jishui. They planted thousands of hectares of spiritual tea in the tea field and made nearly 200,000 calamity jade in profits every year.
Every spring, we have to pick tea. This is not something that can be picked casually with a wave of your hand and a sweep of magic power. Instead, you have to carefully select and pick fine tea. Each fine tea must be sealed immediately with a trace of magic power. Keep the aura on the tea leaves and put them in a special tea basket.
So every year, little demons from inside and outside Jishui come to Jishuixian Mansion to sign up to pick tea, and Wu Cheng only needs to give them the Jade Jade reward.
After several rounds of picking tea leaves, it is time to take care of the tea garden again when summer comes to an end and autumn comes. At this time, the little monsters will also be recruited to help.
The vast tea garden is full of busy little monsters. The little monsters have already become very skilled and can even chat while busy.
I saw two cute and juicy little demons pruning the tea trees and plowing the soil seriously. The little demon on the left said: "I heard that the tea garden will not be able to provide food during the tea picking next year?"
The little demon on the right nodded and said, "I heard about it too, but it seems like Jie Jade will give you an extra piece."
The little demon on the left said: "That's pretty good."
The little demon on the right said, "Yeah, we can bring our own food."
Wu Cheng and his wife Chong Ye Xiangu walked side by side on the tea farm. Looking at the endless tea gardens, Wu Cheng asked his wife: "Our tea sales are not very good this year?"
Fairy Chong Ye nodded and said: "The great catastrophe has had a great impact, and many fellow Taoists from Taoism and Buddhism have been corroded by demonic energy and have been sealed. They are the main drinkers of spiritual tea, so there are so many Taoist fellows missing all of a sudden. , the demand for spiritual tea will also decrease."
"How much is your income this year?" Wu Cheng asked.
Fairy Chongye pondered for a moment and said, "One hundred and seventeen thousand calamity jade."
"That's not bad." Wu Cheng nodded, "Now that the great catastrophe has stabilized, and I heard from my father that the immortal energy in the lower world has been cut off and the spiritual energy is exhausted. I believe that a large number of monks from the lower world will soon enter the great world of Jambu. , then the demand for spiritual tea will become higher again.”
Immortal Chongye nodded and said, "Yes, it's better to keep the three realms a little more stable. Don't worry too much, otherwise we won't be able to earn the Jade Jade."
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Next year, I won't let these little monsters take care of themselves and add an extra calamity jade. It seems they don't have any objections."
"After all, they have some cultivation. They can tolerate skipping one or two meals, but a piece of calamity jade is a real income." Fairy Chong Ye said.
Only monks who have reached the Baodan realm can abstain from food, but in fact, gods eat a lot of food. Without him, their appetites are satisfying, but what gods eat is spiritual food.
"By the way, go to Yaochi Tianjie in a while and talk to fellow Taoist Yu Yan about the price of spiritual tea next year and see if you can raise a little." Wu Cheng said to Fairy Chongye.
Hearing this, Fairy Chong Ye said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. The prices of Qingminglou's spiritual tea are all based on internal reference. It's difficult for our spiritual tea to be sold more expensive than others."
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Try it. If it doesn't work, go to Bihong Pavilion to find fellow Taoist Cen Biqing and ask her if she can give you a better price next year and charge more for our spiritual tea." "
When Fairy Chongye heard this, she said, "Don't call me by my name anymore. Don't you know that I already have the heavenly realm?"
"When did it happen?" Wu Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Why didn't I know?"
Fairy Chongye said: "Two days ago, the Queen Mother of the West sent an edict from the Yaochi Fairyland to the Great Emperor of the Five Emperors, conferring the title of Taoist Cen Biqing as "Zhenren Lingxia Xuanjing". "
"Huh?" Wu Cheng was very surprised and said, "Why did the Queen Mother of the West grant the title of real person to fellow Taoist Cen Biqing?"
Fairy Chongye rolled her eyes and said, "Who am I asking? Besides, Queen Mother Xi is the head of the female immortals. She can confer whichever female immortal she wants. Why should I ask?"
Wu Cheng sighed after hearing this:
"This is the benefit of having tribulation jade. Guess Cen Bi...oh no, how many tribulation jade do you think Master Xuanjing has?" Xia
"This..." Fairy Chongye was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, but Taoist friend Yuyan mentioned it when she came to collect tea from us last year. She once saw Master Xuanjing take out five pieces of tea at a time. With a million calamity jade, he bought a nine-story high-rise building in the best section of the Four Heavenly Streets, and purchased various treasures and utensils. This is now the "Bihong Tower" in the Four Heavenly Streets, which is second only to Laojun Pavilion. Pavilion". "
"Hiss..." Wu Cheng took a breath, "Five million tribulation jade was taken out without blinking. This shows that the tribulation jade in her hand is an astronomical figure that we cannot imagine."
Having said this, Wu Cheng immediately said to Fairy Chong Ye: "Why don't you go talk to Master Xuan Jing? See if she can offer a good price for our spiritual tea next year?"
"I'm a seller of fairy medicine, why do you charge so much spiritual tea?" Fairy Chongye said speechlessly.
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. What if I want to do some tea business?"
"Okay..." Fairy Chongye looked at her husband's earnest eyes, nodded and said, "Then I'll give it a try."
At this moment, an attendant from the Immortal Mansion quickly came to the tea ridge and bowed to Wu Cheng and Immortal Chong Ye: "Prince Qi, Madam, the people from the Guangwen Department of the General Administration of Spiritual Shadows of Tianting have arrived."
"Oh?" Wu Cheng heard this and immediately said, "Please come quickly."
"Yes." The attendant respectfully accepted the order and left.
The Guangwen Department of the General Administration of Spiritual Shadows is a newly established department. Its responsibility is to collect rare and interesting stories from all over the Jambudur world, and then make them into spiritual shadows for sale.
Then we have to talk about another treasure "Developer Plate" refined by Laojun Pavilion. Although it is only a low-grade spiritual treasure, its effect is very strange.
The developing tray can receive the spiritual shadow emitted by another low-grade spiritual treasure, the "Image Transmission Table". However, the imaging stage is very expensive. Only those immortals who are in the spiritual shadow business will buy it, while ordinary people only need to buy the developing tray. .
The Broadcasting Department of the General Administration of Spiritual Shadows in Heaven has set up three transmission stations. The Broadcasting Department collects all kinds of strange stories and wonderful things in daily life, as well as some unclassified matters in Heaven from the Broadcasting Department's transmissions. The film station sends it out to inform all the immortal monks in the three realms who have the development disk.
So today the Guangwen Department is here to collect anecdotes about Wu Cheng's tea garden. As early as yesterday, the Lingying General Administration sent a letter to Jishuixian Mansion, so today Wu Cheng and his wife came to the tea garden early. Xia
Soon after, two fifth-grade immortal officials were seen entering the tea garden under the leadership of their attendants and came to Wu Cheng and his wife.
These two fifth-grade immortal officials are both true immortals. The leader is a female immortal who is very elegant and beautiful in dress, while the other is a male immortal. He always holds a gold plate in his hand, which is used to record spiritual light and shadows. "Spiritual Plate".
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Wu Cheng, Fellow Daoist Chong Ye, I am Lin Miaoqing, the "poetry collector" of the General Administration of Lingying, and this is Han Jicheng. Lin Miaoqing, the leading poetry collector, took the initiative to bow his head and salute.
Wu Cheng and Chong Ye Xiangu quickly bowed their heads in return, and then introduced each other.
Then Lin Miaoqing asked Wu Cheng and his wife, "Can we start then?"
"Okay." Wu Cheng nodded quickly, then turned around and tidied up the fairy clothes and black silk silk on his wife, Chong Ye Xiangu.
Then Lin Miaoqing said to Han Jicheng: "Then open the spiritual disk."
Han Jicheng nodded, and then placed a little magic spell on the spiritual disk. A golden light suddenly lit up, and then Han Jicheng pointed the spiritual disk in the direction of Wu Cheng and Chong Yexiangu.
Wu Cheng and Chong Ye Xiangu immediately became nervous. Their expressions were serious, their bodies were straight, and they didn't even know where to put their hands.
Seeing this scene, Lin Miaoqing smiled slightly, faced the spiritual photo plate and said, "Hello fellow Taoists, I am Lin Miaoqing, the poetry collector of the Guangwen Department. The two people behind me are Taoist friends Wu Cheng and Chong Ye, the owners of Jishui Tea Garden. "
When Wu Cheng and his wife heard Lin Miaoqing introduce themselves and his wife on the spiritual photo plate, they immediately bowed to the spiritual photo plate.
At this time Lin Miaoqing
He turned around and pointed at the vast tea garden and introduced it again, "Fellow Taoists, please look, this is Jishui Tea Garden. Fellow Taoist Wu Cheng, how big is this Jishui Tea Garden?"
Wu Cheng quickly replied: "About six thousand hectares."
"Wow, it's so big." Lin Miaoqing exclaimed, and then asked: "How many tribulation jade can be sold in a year?"
At this time, Fairy Chongye replied: "This year's spring tea, Mingqian tea and other tea varieties combined... sold for about one hundred thousand kalpa jade."
"Ah!" Lin Miaoqing covered Cherry's little mouth in surprise and said, "So much? As a fifth-grade immortal official in heaven, my monthly salary is only nine hundred calamities. How much calamity does your tea garden sell in a year?" Jade is my salary for ten years."
Wu Cheng and Chong Ye Xiangu immediately didn't know how to answer this. They could only stand there and laugh. They had no choice but to criticize Heaven's salary for being too low because they were inexperienced, right?
Fortunately, Lin Miaoqing was very experienced, so she immediately jokingly said, "How about I come to your tea garden next year to work part-time to earn some tribulation jade?"
When Wu Cheng heard this, he immediately understood that Lin Miaoqing was stirring up the topic. He immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, we recruit people to pick tea every spring. The daily salary we give each person is five tribulation jade."
Lin Miaoqing heard this and said, "So who do tea gardens usually recruit to pick tea?"
Wu Cheng said: "Usually it's the water monsters in Jishui, and the monsters around Jishui."
Lin Miaoqing said in surprise: "If you find monsters to pick tea, aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "No, in fact, most monsters are kind-hearted. As long as they are given jade and rewards, they will do very well picking and serving tea."
"So all the monsters around Jishui have become peaceful and wealthy because they picked tea for you over the years?" Lin Miaoqing asked again.
Wu Cheng thought for a while and said, "There is peace, but wealth is not necessarily the case. The tea-picking season is only about one or two months each year, and the tribulation jade earned can barely cover the expenses of cultivation."
"Yes." Lin Miaoqing nodded and said, "But if your tea garden brings another path and life to these monsters, this is actually a great merit, isn't it?"
Wu Cheng and his wife were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect so much.
Seeing Wu Cheng and his wife in a daze, Lin Miaoqing said again: "You can think about it. In other places, monsters, immortals, and monks are in a state of opposition. Even if there is no opposition, it is still the same. There has never been a situation like yours. ."
"No." Fairy Chongye said, "There is another place, Lingxia Mountain, Dongsheng Shenzhou Lingxia Mountain Medicine Garden. There are many monsters working there. In fact, we also learned from Lingxia Mountain."
"I know Lingxia Mountain." Lin Miaoqing said: "It is a treasure land for planting elixirs founded by Master Lingxia Xuanjing. It is also the only place in the Three Realms where all kinds of elixirs are grown on a large scale. Even the alchemy in Tushita Palace is Many of the elixirs are bought from Lingxia Mountain."
Wu Cheng and his wife were surprised when they heard this. They had already imagined the scale of Lingxia Mountain as much as possible, but they did not expect that all the business in Lingxia Mountain would go to Taishang Laojun.
Next, Lin Miaoqing asked Wu Cheng and his wife to take them to visit the entire tea garden, and interview the little demons who were working. However, those little demons were not so nervous. It was not that they had a good attitude, but that they did not know anything about the Broadcasting Department and the Development Tray. , spiritual disks and the like, so they seemed much more calm. However, when they heard Wu Cheng and his wife said that Lin Miaoqing was an immortal official in heaven, they still became cautious and cautious.
An hour later, Lin Miaoqing and Han Jicheng, who had collected enough information, left the tea garden. Wu Cheng and his wife wanted to stay with them for a meal, but they had to go elsewhere to collect anecdotes.
After Lin Miaoqing and Han Jicheng left, Wu Cheng and his wife handed over to the tea garden stewards and returned to Jishuixian Mansion.
However, as soon as the couple returned to Jishuixian Mansion, they saw their father... Jiang Chen, the Shangshu of Jitu Qingyuan Wangxian Mansion, waiting for them in front of the Xianfu Palace. Xia
"Your Majesty, Madam." Jiang Chen stepped forward with a solemn expression and bowed his hands.
Seeing Jiang Chen's face, Wu Cheng and Chong Yexiangu looked at each other, and then
He asked in confusion: "Jiang Shangshu, what happened?"
Jiang Chen said: "I was about to ask the prince and his wife, have you committed anything recently? Who have you provoked?"
"Us?" Wu Cheng and his wife looked at each other again, and both saw deep doubts in each other's eyes. "We have been staying in the Immortal Mansion recently. We have not committed anything or provoked anyone."
Jiang Chen said: "Your Majesty, you must tell me the truth. This is also the order of King Yuan."
"We really didn't commit anything." Fairy Chongye said, "Jiang Shangshu, what happened? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried."
Jiang Chen looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, madam, Hongqing Zhenjun Tong Heihai has arrived at the Immortal Mansion with a talisman and an edict, and I tell you to go to the Buzhou Cave Zhenfu to meet him immediately."
"What? Lord Hongqing?!"
When Wu Cheng and Chong Yexiangu heard the name, their faces turned pale and their whole bodies softened. Their minds quickly began to recall everything that had happened to them in this life.
In the end, the couple calmed down a bit. After careful recall, they found that although they had done many wrong things, they had never done anything that violated the rules of heaven. They couldn't help but feel relieved.
