Chapter 269: Dyeing Fragrance Valley to Learn the Way of Fragrance
The Four Symbols of the Four Symbols Sect are Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. Since we are in Qinglongfang City in front of us, there are probably three other Fangcities such as White Tiger.
There are twenty-nine people staying in Qinglongfang City with Yan Zixiu. Among them are Master Jia’s one wife and three concubines, and the six maids who serve them; Master Jia’s five attendants; Miss Jia’s four maids
Ring; ten male servants of Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao and the Jia family brothers and sisters entrusted all these people to him.
As soon as they come, they will be settled. Yan Zixiu needs to settle these people first: "Everyone, since Mr. Gao, Master Jia and Miss Jia have entrusted you to me. I will try my best to ensure everyone's safety. Of course, this requires your cooperation.
.First of all, we are
We are not familiar with the place here, so we must protect ourselves and don't trust people's words. No matter who speaks nicely, we must listen to his words and watch his actions. Secondly, it is not appropriate to stay in an inn all the time. We need to rent a place to stay for a long time.
Do you have any comments?"
"Everyone listens to Mr. Yan."
Yan Zixiu found a hyacinth and explained that he wanted to rent a large yard, preferably with more than two entrances. This was to take care of the female relatives who were traveling with him.
Hyacinth said that there is a place on Yangliu Street three or four miles away that is more suitable.
Everyone followed Hyacinth to see the yard, and they were quite satisfied. As for the price, the landlord said he would not accept gold or silver, nor would he accept any counter-offer, which was one hundred and fifty spiritual stones per year.
Yan Zixiu lent Tingxia 500 yuan of spiritual stones he earned from painting, and the entourage spent 450 yuan on the flying boat. The remaining 50 yuan was added to the 100 yuan that Mr. Gao and the others left behind when they left.
RMB, just enough for the rent.
After paying the rent, the head of the Qiankun Ring and Immortal Mansion, Yan, who had endless wealth, became a poor man.
He still has twenty thousand taels of silver notes left by Mr. Gao and the others, but Xiuxianfang City has very little interest in the silver notes. Except for mortals who take a small amount, the monks disdain them.
Yan Zixiu thought to himself, the only thing left was to take one step at a time.
The courtyard they rented was called Futian Courtyard. It was very large, with green trees and red flowers, pink walls and black tiles, and a quiet environment. It had three entrances, inside and outside, and a total of more than sixty houses.
Yan Zixiu made arrangements: the innermost courtyard was for the female family members; the middle courtyard was for ten male entourages, plus himself; and the rest of the entourage lived in the outer courtyard.
After everyone claimed their houses, he called everyone to a meeting in the middle courtyard and announced two things.
First, unless there is a particularly dangerous situation, no man, including Yan Zixiu himself, is allowed to enter the inner courtyard.
It is a matter of loyalty to others when entrusted by others. This is his responsibility to Mr. Gao and the Jia family brothers and sisters.
The second thing is money. Yan Zixiu made it clear to everyone that the number of spiritual stones was zero and there were only 20,000 taels of silver notes. Then he chose someone from the Gao family’s entourage to manage the accounts, and from the Jia family’s entourage.
One person is in charge of the money.
The accountant is named Gao Jin, a young and fair-skinned young man.
The person in charge of money is called Jia Gui, a stable middle-aged man.
Gao Jin said: "Mr. Yan, the annual rent of 150 pieces of spiritual stones is equivalent to 150,000 taels of silver. To exchange the silver for spiritual stones, it will be doubled. It takes 300,000 taels of silver to cover the rent. Are all of us?
Looking for some work?”
Jia Gui agreed: "Gao Jin is right. The young master and lady we are dragging down now will not be able to do this again next year."
Yan Zixiu said: "You two are indeed loyal and mature people. That's what I have in mind. I will go out immediately to investigate and see if there is any way. When I am not here, Gao Jin and Jia Gui will be responsible for the big things, and other matters will be taken care of by Gao Jin and Jia Gui.
People follow their orders."
Everyone agreed.
Gao Jin asked: "Mr. Yan, do you want to bring some banknotes with you when you go out on the street?"
"No need for now. If necessary, I'll find you. Besides, our 20,000 taels of silver notes have all been exchanged, which is just ten spiritual stones, so it won't be of much use." After everyone was settled, Yan Zixiu felt a lot lighter.
.He left his residence and wandered around the city to see if there were any opportunities.
The market was very lively with people coming and going. He went to some shops selling alchemy and talisman arrays and found out that everything required a lot of money.
As he walked around, he was thinking about how to earn spirit stones and get close to the old demon Wenxing. How to make money with his medical skills? I'm afraid no one would believe a strange mortal. Although playing the piano and painting can make money, I'm afraid it's not possible to get close to the old demon Wenxing.
.
While walking around, Yan Zixiu suddenly smelled a scent. He looked up and saw a two-story pavilion in front of him. The plaque read "Xiangguang Pavilion". It looked like it sold spiritual incense.
An idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered what Xia had said. Apart from elixirs, what monks of the Four Symbol Sect needed most were items to resolve inner demons.
Thinking of this, Yan Zixiu immediately turned around and returned to Futian Courtyard, telling Gao Jin that he needed to rest for a while, then returned to the room, closed the door, sat down, and entered the Dyeing Fragrance Valley in the Medicine Master's Immortal Mansion.
Dying Fragrance Valley is one of the twelve Immortal Palaces in the Immortal Mansion. It is a piece of gently rolling hills. There are fragrant grasses and strange flowers everywhere, spiritual trees are everywhere, spiritual birds are flying, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant.
In the center of the Dying Fragrance Valley, there is a towering tree, pointed at the top and wide at the bottom, like a pagoda. The trunk, branches, leaves and flowers all radiate bright light. The tree is full of all kinds of fragrant fruits.
Yan Zixiu picked one and saw that the fruit was the size of a fist, like a plum or a peach, red with yellow, crystal clear, and exuding a burst of fragrance.
Wuyou, the general manager of the Immortal Mansion, flew over and said, "Eat it. The way to learn in Ranxiang Valley is to eat the fruit."
Yan Zixiu was surprised: "There is still such a learning method? This is what foodies want."
Wuyou laughed and said, "The skillful wisdom of the Buddhas is immeasurable. In the Xiangji Buddha Kingdom, enlightenment depends on eating fragrant rice. Therefore, all sentient beings do not necessarily have to rely on reading books to learn."
"Okay." After taking a bite of the fruit, Yan Zixiu felt that all the cells in his body were saying, "Beautiful! Delicious!"
A scene suddenly appeared in front of him: a white-haired old man was talking to a boy.
The boy, who had white teeth and red lips, was extremely upright. He asked the white-haired old man: "Master Yuluo, I have aroused the aspiration of supreme Bodhi. I want to fulfill my infinite vows, travel around all the worlds in the ten directions, and benefit all sentient beings in the ten directions."
, I also asked the master to teach me how to practice."
Master Yoro nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay. What I can teach you is the way of incense. I know all the knowledge and production methods of incense. For example, all kinds of burning incense, incense coating, powdered incense... and such as heavenly incense, dragon incense, and yaksha.
Incense, including gandharva incense, asura incense and even the incense of humans and non-human beings. Another example is the incense of healing diseases, the incense of improving energy, the incense of joy, the incense of increasing and decreasing good and evil, the incense of subduing demons, the incense of enlightenment, the incense of enlightenment and even the incense of Bodhisattvas.”
"Some incense, burning a stick, can make people full of joy for seven days and seven nights, making them happy physically and mentally, free from all kinds of diseases, and treating others kindly."
"Some incense can be invisible when applied to the whole body; some incense can be used to protect the whole body from water and fire;..."
…
Master Uluo taught earnestly, and the boy listened attentively.
I don't know how much time passed, but Master Uluo said: "Shan Cai, I only study the path of incense. In other aspects, you have to continue to visit the Bodhisattvas."
Hearing this, Yan Zixiu was surprised and happy: Shancai? Shancai boy? I am watching the process of Shancai boy's fifty-three ginseng?
As if sensing his thoughts, Master Yoro and Shancai looked over at the same time and smiled at him.
As soon as Master Yoro raised his hand, a stream of light flew over and sank into his eyebrows. Information about the incense path flooded into his mind like waves. He seemed to have learned the incense path in many worlds and in many lives.
Study the way of incense and popularize the way of incense.
…
Yan Zixiu came to his senses and found that he was still standing under the treasure tree and had finished eating the fruit.
"Isn't this kind of learning fun?" Wuyou asked with a smile.
Yan Zixiu was very happy: "Interesting, so interesting. I wonder if there is any way to study while wearing clothes."
Wuyou said: "Of course there is. When you meet, it all depends on your chance. Now you want to use the incense to subdue the evildoers and save the people, so the reason for learning the incense this time is ripe."
Yan Zixiu nodded: "I understand, it's better to have compassion and open up the law of wisdom. Then I'll go out."
