At the well next to the school grounds, a huge crab was struggling hard, trying to climb out of the well.
The crab was so big that even with Qiu Rong helping to pull it out with its large pincers, it couldn't be pulled out of the well.
Qin Shaoyou walked over and took a look, and found that the crab was actually bigger than before, and the wellhead was narrower than the bottom of the well, so the crab could get into the well, but it was stuck at the mouth of the well where it could barely get out in the past.
In fact, if the river crab uses its large pincers and crab legs to forcefully poke open the masonry at the wellhead, it can still crawl out.
But the river crab has now opened his spiritual orifice and has an IQ. He dare not do that without Qin Shaoyou's permission, otherwise it will not be stuck at the mouth of the well, but it will be stuck in the pot if it is not possible, and it will become braised or smell like garlic...
After Qin Shaoyou saw the situation clearly, he turned to greet Monk Ma: "Monk, come here and smash the mouth of the well."
Monk Ma responded with a "get the order", and strode over with the Zen staff specially made for him by Zeng Cong.
This Zen staff is made of fine iron and is very heavy. The head of the staff is thick and has a sharp ring. The tip is also very sharp. It can be used as a mace, a gun or a halberd.
Monk Ma raised his Zen staff, and the ring on the head of the staff swayed and made a jingling sound. It even coincided with the music, as if he was reciting some kind of salvation sutra.
Only a few "dong dong" sounds were heard as Monk Ma smashed the green brick wellhead into gravel.
Poor Jingkou was saved by the Zen rod.
The escaped river crab climbed out of the well, lay down on the edge of the well, gasped for air, and spit out a string of bubbles.
Qin Shaoyou then called Zhu Xiucai, who was vividly describing to Cui Youyou the wonderful taste and effect of the Black Lotus Buddha Jumping over the Wall, and ordered: "Find a few craftsmen to widen the mouth of the well... no, widen the entire well."
He originally only wanted to widen the well mouth, but when he thought that the river crabs might grow in size, he changed the direction and simply renovated the entire well.
"Sir, if we can find a craftsman for such a small matter, we can handle it ourselves."
Zhu Xiucai glanced at the well, patted his chest and promised, "Leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it."
Since Zhu Xiucai has this ability, Qin Shaoyou said no more, nodded, left the job to him, and then extended his hand to He Xie: "Where is my brother's letter?"
The river crab's job is to deliver messages to Qin Shaoyou and Baiqingjiang Shuibo. It rarely climbs out of the well unless Baiqingjiang Shuibo comes to see Qin Shaoyou for something.
But this time, it didn't take out the letter box, but took out something like a conch from under its huge crab shell, which surprised Qin Shaoyou.
Are there conchs in this river?
However, river snails and river snails are not that big. Could it be that they were mutated like river crabs due to the enlightenment of Baiqingjiang Shuibo?
Or maybe, this conch is a good ingredient, so Baiqingjiang Shuibo asked river crabs to be sent to him specially?
With doubts, Qin Shaoyou took the conch, only to find that it was just a conch shell with no meat inside.
Am I overthinking? This thing is not for eating?
Before Qin Shaoyou could ask He Xia what he wanted to do with a conch shell, Bai Qingjiang Shui Bo's voice came out from the conch shell.
"Good brother, my first Shui Bo Temple will be officially opened for business three days from now at 6 o'clock in the morning, five miles west of Baiyu Village. Don't forget to come over and support me..."
Qin Shaoyou understood. It turned out that the conch shell was a sound transmission tube. Unfortunately, he thought that Baiqingjiang Shuibo had sent seafood for him to eat.
Waiting for it in vain...
But don’t mention it, the conch is quite good at preserving the sound quality, but in terms of convenience, it is still a little worse than the paper crane charm.
After all, the paper crane symbol can now transmit not only sounds, but also pictures and some short videos.
"Are you there, look at your legs?" This kind of thing can already be done...but I can't find the target to flirt with.
While Qin Shaoyou was making comparisons in his mind, he said to He Xie: "Go back and tell my brother that I will definitely arrive in the west of Baiyu Village in three days."
The river crab waved its pincers and pointed at the conch.
Qin Shaoyou kept guessing: "You want me to use this to reply to my brother?"
The river crab spit out several bubbles, indicating that Qin Shaoyou's guess was correct.
It turns out that conch is not disposable?
Qin Shaoyou held it in his hand and studied it for a while, and figured out its usage - it is similar to the paper crane talisman. It can be activated by pouring blood, spiritual power, etc. into it, and with the help of these energies, language information can be stored.
Qin Shaoyou poured blood into the conch and repeated what he had just said. When handing the conch shell to the river crab, he curiously asked: "Where did my brother get this conch?"
The river crab vomited a bunch of bubbles, and Qin Shaoyou couldn't understand it, so he could only wave his hand helplessly, indicating that it didn't need to vomit, so as not to die from lack of water.
"Okay, hurry up and deliver the message."
The river crab put away the conch, turned around, jumped into the well, and quickly disappeared.
Qin Shaoyou turned around and told Zhu Xiucai, who was measuring the width of the well: "Xiucai, when the river crab comes back, you can find a way to teach it to read."
The river crab can understand human speech, but cannot speak it. It is still a bit troublesome to communicate. It would undoubtedly be much better if it could be taught to read, write and even speak.
"ah?"
Zhu Xiucai was stunned.
Isn’t it a bit difficult to teach crabs to read?
Cui Yougui came over and said earnestly: "Xiucai, haven't you always said that you have high knowledge and good literary talent, but you haven't been able to get a chance to prove it? Now the opportunity has come. If you can teach a crab to read
If you don't understand Chinese characters, your teaching achievements are extraordinary. At least those scholars who you complain about all day long cannot compare to you."
That seems to be the truth.
And if you teach it, you will have the capital to show off. Even if you can't teach it, there is no loss.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but feel a little moved, and accepted the order: "When the river crab comes back, I will try my best to teach it!"
Cui Yougui immediately answered: "Teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a group is teaching. By the way, you can also teach the infant ghosts."
Qin Shaoyou thought about it and thought that this was not a bad idea, so he said, "Senior Brother Cui, this is a good suggestion. I'll thank you for your hard work, scholar."
Zhu Xiucai realized that he had been tricked by Cui Youwei.
Infant ghosts are very active by nature, so it is extremely difficult for them to sit down and listen to a lecture. They might even come and pull their beards and hair.
But Qin Shaoyou had already spoken, and he had no way to refuse. He could only accept the order and glared at Cui Yougui fiercely.
Senior Brother Cui chuckled and stared back without fear.
Who asked you to keep talking in front of me just now about how delicious and effective the Black Lotus Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is? You thought I didn't know, and you were greedy for me on purpose! Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
Qin Shaoyou watched Cui Yougui and Zhu Xiucai glare at each other, and nodded secretly: They are indeed the sleeping dragon and the phoenix, they really love each other... Look at the way they stare at each other, they are almost kissing.
He was too lazy to pay attention to these two living treasures, and instead arranged for Sun Xianzong and Shan Daonian: "Old Sun, miracle doctor, send a few people to go to the incense shops in the city and buy the biggest and highest incense."
This is something Qin Shaoyou promised Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui, so naturally he must handle it well and beautifully.
That is to say, Bai Qingjiang Shuibo opened a temple. If it were a shop, Qin Shaoyou would like to send him a plaque saying that he earns a fortune every day...
Time flew by and the third day arrived in a blink of an eye.
Qin Shaoyou left Ye Zhiqiu and Sun Xianzong to look after the house, and took Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai and others to arrive at Baiyu Village on the bank of Baiqing River before Si Shi. From a distance, he saw a Shuibo Temple standing on the riverside.
There are so many people in front of the temple, it’s really like a sea of people, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the colorful flags are fluttering...
