I remember that in [Ten Thousand Loaches Garden], every loach inside had extremely exquisite body control, as if it had been tempered thousands of times.
Although Qiu Ping deliberately imitated, he could never reach that height.
But Yandong's magical power of [Tongtian Spirit Searching Technique] gave him a lot of inspiration.
Since that magical power can monitor their bodies, can it also monitor my own body?
Wherever there are shortcomings and defects, they can 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 very uncomfortable at first, but as time went by, the movements of those muscles gradually became his natural ability 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, the whole fish was like a black ball swimming in the water, with almost no splash when moving.
Vaguely, it seems that the magical power [lubrication technique] that I have comprehended is also undergoing transformation little by little.
Perhaps one day, that humble little magical power can transform into a big magical power, making your body smoother and moister, and further reducing the friction with space.
…
"Little loach, it's time to harvest grain again. If those monks come here again, I won't beat them up." The landowner was at the threshing floor and persuaded Qiu Ping earnestly.
That little loach beat up the monk that time, but it was thanks to Luohan Chanyuan that he didn't go to the City God to file a complaint. He also followed the principle that doing more is worse than doing less and didn't give Qiu Ping a demerit.
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, so why should I hit them if I have nothing to do?
"I know." Qiu Ping swung his legs, but he didn't listen to what the Earth God said.
After all, I had already stolen the fruit from the Luohan Zen Temple here, took away a golden bowl, and even captured a demon snake from them.
Now I beg the monk not to move his legs first, and try my best to control my temper.
Well, try your best.
The Earth God nodded. It seemed that the little loach had made some progress, or at least he could listen to the advice.
Just as the two were chatting, the grain collection team had arrived.
No, when he saw the group of people collecting grain that time, not only Qiu Ping was shocked, but even the landowner couldn't walk away.
In addition to official errands from the yamen and stewards from large families, there were also more than ten monks who came.
The landlord secretly complained, those gang of thieves didn't think it was a big deal at all. This monk here was already having trouble with the little loach, so if there are more than ten monks coming from Dongzi, isn't that a blatant provocation?
?
Thinking of that, he glanced at Qiu Ping carefully.
"...Those monks are really talented." Qiu Ping smacked his lips and said after a long time.
"Qiu Ping, I must not move my legs to hit anyone for a while. Those monks have no cultivation at all, so they are no longer mortals. If you move your legs, it will be a small matter to lose your official position. If it is serious, I will be killed by a knife." The male's eyelids twitched a few times and his head hurt.
Although the monk Zaitsuna was of low strength, he had already begun to practice. Even if he was beaten, it would be considered a minor dispute. Anyway, the relationship between Shinto and Buddhism was not that good.
But apart from wearing monk robes and shaving their heads, those monks in the east are basically no more than ordinary people.
If you really want to move your legs, the nature will change.
Those monks wonder whether people have sex.
"Don't worry, he's not stupid." Although Qiu Ping felt resentful in his heart, he smiled in front of him.
"Those 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, or he will die if he goes there." Many ideas flashed through Qiu Ping's mind, but he was interrupted again. He refused one by one.
The more you avoid that moment, the less likely you are to be swayed by your emotions.
"Didn't we agree that it would be 50-50? Why next year it will be 73-70?" Just when Qiu Ping was thinking about how to respond, he suddenly heard the villagers shouting loudly.
"Whatever you are shouting about! The imperial court intentionally sent troops to the Hu people in the north and is raising grain. It will be a good year in Qingzhou next year, so it should pay more grain. The documents from the imperial court have been sent to the east. Don't we know about it?" said an errand. People called Li Zheng and asked him to explain.
Li Zheng was a good old man, so he wanted to avoid offending both parties, so he rushed to tell the people that although we would hand over more grain next year, we would be exempted from the corvee.
Whenever there is a war, civilian men must be recruited.
Those who are safer will be responsible for building walls and bridges, or transporting food.
If the war had not been serious, I would have fought tooth and nail on the battlefield myself.
After all kinds of persuasion, the noise of the villagers gradually subsided. Although he paid more grain, at least he didn't have to be on the battlefield.
Over the years, many civilians who have been recruited have died in battles or been lost on the road, and have never been able to return to their hometowns.
"Well, if there is a good harvest next year, even 30% of the food will be enough to eat." The villagers had to comfort themselves in this way. It is better than anything else to fill their stomachs and the family will be safe.
Moreover, the land over the temple is divided 50-50, so they will probably have a little surplus food.
As a matter of fact, 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 and we should collect more food, so next year we will also need to divide it into 70% and 30%. The Buluo temple will not let the people suffer. Each tenant farmer can invite an Arhat back from the temple. Please ask every tenant If you worship in the moon, you will get good results." The leading monk bowed and said to everyone.
Next year, the people will harvest a lot of grain and their legs will be much richer. Many people have made up their mind early.
As for those sharecroppers, just hope they don't die of hunger.
If you don't keep your belly in trouble, it will be difficult to control it in the future.
Qiu Ping was standing not far away. Hearing those words, his blood pressure started to rise. Did that person say anything?
Did our Arhat get scared away this time? I’m so blessed.
"Little loach... Qiu Ping, I must not move my legs!" The landowner grabbed Qiu Ping's arm, fearing that the little loach would be filled with blood and beg to be beaten again.
Maybe that incident was intentional on the monk's part, so as to harvest more grain and at the same time provoke the little loach to move its legs, 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. There was no way to cross the red line of whether it was a serious crime to hit a mortal.
But if I don’t get involved with Yidong’s group of monks, my Taoist mind will be unstable.
Just when he was at his wits' end, a huge green figure fell from the sky, and a giant locust made a big hole in the ground.
"Hahaha, little loach, you didn't expect that my uncle, the Locust God, came out again!"
