I remember that in [Ten Thousand Loaches Garden], every loach inside had extremely exquisite control over its body, as if it had been tempered thousands of times.
Although Qiu Ping deliberately imitated, he could never reach that height.
But the current magical power of [Tongtian Spirit Searching Technique] has given him a lot of inspiration.
Since this magical power can monitor other people's bodies, can it also monitor one's own body?
Wherever there are shortcomings and defects, can they be quickly adjusted?
Qiu Ping's body swam slowly in the water, his whiskers kept squirming, and a reflection of his real body quickly appeared in his brain.
All the incongruous places in the body are marked in the mind.
He consciously adjusted every muscle in his body. It was uncomfortable at first, but as time went by, the movement of these muscles gradually became his instinct to swim.
Although his swimming speed is still slow, the friction with the water flow seems to have been reduced a lot.
After a cup of tea, his whole fish was like a black shadow shuttled in the water, with almost no splash when moving.
Vaguely, it seems that the magical power [lubricant technique] that I have comprehended is also undergoing transformation little by little.
Perhaps one day, this humble little magical power can transform into a great magical power, making your body smoother and moister, and further reducing the friction with space.
…
"Little loach, it's time to harvest grain again soon. If those monks come here again, you can't beat them." Beside the threshing floor, the landowner persuaded Qiu Ping earnestly.
Last time this little loach beat up a monk, it was thanks to Luohan Chanyuan that he didn't go to the City God to file a complaint. He also followed the principle of not giving Qiu Ping a demerit for doing more than doing less.
Otherwise, this matter will definitely attract the attention of the City God.
Although those monks do not do human affairs, their behavior does not violate any laws of heaven and man. Why do you beat them if they have nothing to do?
"I know." Qiu Ping waved his hand, but still listened to what the Earth God said.
After all, he had already stolen fruits from the garden of Luohan Temple last time, took away a golden bowl, and captured one of their demonic snakes.
Now, as long as the monk doesn't make the first move, try to control your temper.
Well, try your best.
The Earth God nodded. It seemed that this little loach had made some progress, at least he could listen to advice.
Just as the two were chatting, the grain collection team had arrived.
However, this time, when he saw the group of people collecting grain, not only Qiu Ping was shocked, but even the landowner couldn't sit still.
In addition to official errands from the yamen and stewards from large families, more than ten monks also came.
The Earth God secretly complained, but these thieves didn't think it was a big deal at all. Last time, a monk had already made trouble with the little loach. This time, more than ten monks came at once. Isn't this a blatant provocation?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Qiu Ping carefully.
"...These monks are really talented." Qiu Ping smacked his lips and said after a long time.
"Qiu Ping, please don't hit anyone for a while. These monks have no cultivation at all. They are just mortals. If you do it, you will lose your official position. In serious cases, you may be chopped off." The Earth God's eyelids My son jumped a few times, and I just felt pain in my head.
Although the monk's strength was low last time, he had already begun to practice. Even if he was beaten, it could only be regarded as a minor dispute. Anyway, the relationship between Shinto and Buddhism was not very good.
But now, apart from wearing monk robes and shaving their heads, these monks are basically mortals.
If it really takes action, its nature will change.
These monks are very good at dealing with people.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Although Qiu Ping felt resentful in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.
"These monks, are they going to go back to their temple with the shrew to steal something? No, no, no, those monks must be on guard now. I will die if I go up." Many ideas flashed through Qiu Ping's mind, but he was distracted by it. No one by one.
At this time, the less you can be influenced by your emotions.
"Didn't we say 50/50? Why did it become 73/7 this year?" Just when Qiu Ping was thinking about how to deal with it, he suddenly heard the villagers shouting loudly.
"Whatever you are shouting about! The imperial court intends to use troops against the barbarians in the north and is raising food. This year is a good year in Qingzhou, so we should pay more food. The documents from the imperial court have been issued, don't you know?" a messenger shouted Come on, let him explain.
Li Zheng was a good old man, and he just wanted to avoid offending both parties, so he hurriedly told the people that although we would hand in more food this year, we would be exempted from the corvee.
Whenever there is a war, civilian men must be recruited.
Those who are safer are responsible for building walls and bridges, or transporting food.
If the war is serious, he will go to the battlefield to fight in person at all costs.
After all kinds of persuasion, the villagers' noise gradually calmed down. Although I paid more food, at least I didn't have to go to the battlefield.
Over the years, many of the civilian men who were recruited died in battles or got lost on the road and could never return to their hometowns.
"Well, at least this year is a good year. Even 30% of the food is enough." The villagers could only comfort themselves like this. Being able to fill their stomachs and keep the family safe is better than anything else.
Moreover, the fields over the temple are still divided 50-50, so after all calculations, they can still have some surplus food.
However, it was too early for them to be happy.
"Our supervisor has told us that the Zen Temple is going to be renovated in the near future, so we should collect more food, so this year we also need to divide it into 73%. However, the temple will not let the people suffer. Each tenant farmer can invite an Arhat back from the temple, as long as he worships it every day. , you will get good results." The leading monk bowed and said to everyone.
This year the people have harvested a lot of grain and are much richer. Many people have made plans early.
As for these tenant farmers, as long as they don't starve to death, that's all.
If you make your belly tricky, it will be difficult to manage it in the future.
Qiu Ping was standing not far away. Hearing these words, his blood pressure went up a little. Is this such a special person?
Your Arhat was scared away last time! And bless your ass.
"Little loach... Qiu Ping, please don't do anything!" The landowner grabbed Qiu Ping's arm, fearing that the little loach would get angry and hit someone again.
Maybe the monk did this intentionally, so that he could harvest more grain and at the same time provoke the little loach to take action, so they could take advantage of both sides.
The beard on Qiu Ping's lips was flying wildly, and he was obviously very angry.
But he was very clear-headed at the moment. Beating a mortal was a serious crime and this red line could not be crossed.
But if I don't deal with this group of monks, my Taoist heart will be unstable.
Just when he was at a loss, a huge green figure fell from the sky, and a large locust made a big hole in the ground.
"Hahaha, little loach, you didn't expect that your Locust God came out again!"
