Chapter 381 Looking for the money(1/2)

The sea was clear, the sky was cloudless, and it was another sunny day with clear sky.

In the southern Kingdom of Khabarovsk, in a coastal fishing village called Yingzuijiao, a young man named Jiping woke up from his sleep and found that his mother had already cooked the food and went to work in the fields.

The younger brothers and sisters were riding bamboo horses and playing war games in the open space outside, and shouts and noises could be heard coming in.

Jiping rolled out of bed and suddenly felt something click on his waist. He turned it out and saw that it was a strange coin he picked up on the beach more than a month ago.

"It's really strange. What on earth did this come from?"

The day after he picked it up, he asked the most knowledgeable old man in the village about it, but the result was that he had never seen it before.

When the old gentleman was young, he worked as an accountant for a wealthy family in the city, and also worked as a dock steward. He guessed that this was an exotic coin.

But no matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary copper plate.

After briefly asking about its origin and learning that it was just accidentally picked up on the beach and that there was nothing else nearby, the old man didn't say anything more, and Ji Ping didn't ask any more questions, so he quickly forgot about it.

Although the fishing village was poor, a copper plate was nothing to worry about. Ji Ping put it away and heard someone shouting outside.

"Let's go to the sea, A Ping, are you up? Let's go."

"Get up, wait for me!"

The young man Ji Ping quickly put on his bamboo sandals and walked out.

There were several young men of about the same age waiting at the door. When they saw him coming, they went to a nearby house to call some companions, and then they walked to the beach together, talking and laughing.

They are accustomed to going to the sea and making a living by eating from the sea. When they grow up to the age of ten, they can already catch some seafood and aquatic products in this place near the sea to supplement their family income.

Today I dug some things on the shore as usual, and then went into the sea at low tide to pick up shrimps and crabs. I was very lucky to get a lot of harvest.

Unknowingly, it was already noon and everyone planned to go back.

"Hey!" Suddenly, Ji Ping touched the pocket around his waist and found that the copper coin was missing. "Did it fall into the sea?"

Not to mention, I usually don’t care much about that thing, but it was a pity to lose it all of a sudden.

Ji Ping seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, as if he had lost something important.

"Aping, what are you doing standing still? Let's go."

"Yes, the tide is almost coming."

Ji Ping hesitated for a while, then handed the bamboo basket on his back to his neighbor's companion and said, "Aniu, help me take it back."

Aniu said in a loud voice: "What do you want to do?"

Ji Ping said: "I lost something. I'll go back and look for it before the tide rises."

Hearing this, an older boy in the crowd came over and said seriously: "You have to be careful."

"Yes, don't let the big waves sweep you away."

"Beware of the big monster coming out to eat people!"

The other companions all talked about it.

Catching the sea also depends on the timing. The coast here always has two low tides a day, but they don't last long. When encountering wind, rain, thunder and lightning, you don't dare to approach rashly, for fear that you will be swept away by strong winds and waves.

Even from time to time, monsters would take the opportunity to come and raid. It was the accomplished monsters who crossed the territory to hunt, just like humans would go to the forest or the sea to hunt.

The rules inherited from generations in the fishing village are to comply with the weather and not be greedy for the catch.

However, the ebb and flow of the tide always follow a pattern. If you avoid it in time, you will be fine. When the big monster comes up, it will just look for some food and make sacrifices. It does not necessarily mean that you will catch a living person to eat. If you really want to kill someone,

, slaughtering entire villages at every turn, it’s useless to be afraid.

We haven't heard of a big demon appearing here for hundreds of years, so everyone is still doing whatever they are supposed to do, and it doesn't seem to be affected at all.

Young Lao Dadao: "Okay, you tell me what is missing, and we can help you find it together."

Ji Ping was embarrassed to say it was just a copper plate, so he said: "Forget it, it's not an important item anyway. I'll go look for it myself. You guys go back first."

When everyone heard it, they didn't take it seriously. They just said, "Okay then, go and come back quickly."

It took some time to talk, so Ji Ping hurried back, then based on his memory, he stepped on the beach where he had squatted before, and started looking for it with his eyes wide open.

"That's weird, where did it go?"

Unknowingly, a little more time passed. Seeing that the tide had already risen, Jiping did not dare to wait any longer and hurriedly stepped back, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Young man, what are you doing here? Is there anything I can help you with?"

At this moment, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly came into Ji Ping's ears.

Ji Ping turned his head and saw a graceful man in a star-crown feather suit walking on the waves and slowly walking over from the tide.

Ji Ping was shocked when he saw it: "God...immortal?"

"Hahahaha." The man heard the words and laughed loudly, "I am not a god, I am just a monk in the world of games."

"Monk!" Although Ji Ping is a commoner, he has heard of monks, "I know that you are the legendary immortal masters who know how to fly around!"

"Almost."

This man was none other than Li Zhen, who had traveled to several countries around him and searched for thousands of miles, and came here to look for green clam money based on the pull of some unknown cause and effect.

When he came here, he happened to see Xiang Ping and others rushing to sea, so he used a blinding method to block everyone's perception, so that Xiang Ping didn't even know he had dropped the copper coin.

If it were an ordinary casual cultivator, someone who was both good and evil, he might have taken the treasure he wanted and left on the spot. But Li Zhen is a man who knows destiny and understands cause and effect. If he wanted to take this thing, he would never do that.

sloppy.

It is said that there are gods three feet above the head, there are spirits in the way of heaven, and there are perceptions in the dark. Every word, every deed, and every move must comply with moral cause and effect. Only in this way can the cause and effect karma contained in this process be eliminated, and the Taoist age of thousands of years can be avoided.

The great calamity and danger that will be experienced next.

If you don't pay attention to these things, you will regret it when the end comes.

Sure enough, even if Li Zhen didn't remind him, Ji Ping himself was aware of the loss of the Qingji money, and came back to look for it by some strange combination.

This is actually a disaster for Jiping himself, because the God-given treasure is an unimaginable great opportunity, but it is also a huge danger.

If you meet someone with evil intentions, he will be dead by now, and even the entire fishing village will be robbed.

However, Li Zhen had a righteous heart and good intentions, so he naturally did not bother to do anything to kill people and seize treasures. There was really no need to attack such innocent people.

He pondered for a while, stimulating his thoughts and fragrance, making his breath more intimate and reliable.

"You haven't told me yet, what are you doing here? From the look of you, have you lost something?"

Ji Ping suddenly said: "By the way, you are an immortal master. You must know the magic of finding people and objects. Can you help me find a piece of money like this?"

For a while, he didn't know how to format the Qingfu money. He showed his hands and feet, and finally he could only make a rough gesture about the size, and then said: "On the front, there are words, and on the back, there are paintings."

"It's a trivial matter. The monks like us love to help others enthusiastically."

Without saying a word, Li Zhen transformed into You Guang and got into the water.

When Ji Ping saw it, his eyes widened: "Wow!"

After a while, Li Zhen reappeared, without a drop of water on his body, holding a shining golden coin in his hand and said: "Is this the money you lost?"

Ji Ping was startled for a moment and said: "The characters are quite similar to the paintings, but what I lost was copper coins, not gold."

Li Zhen laughed and said: "Silly boy, isn't the money made from gold more valuable than copper coins? If you take one of these back, you can at least exchange it for a hundred coins. That's good. I'll give you this gold coin. Wait.

I'll look here again next time and let me know if I find the copper coins you lost."

Ji Ping shook his head and said, "This is not something I threw away. I can't have it."

Li Zhen glanced at him, said nothing, and once again turned into a wandering light and disappeared.

After waiting for a while, Li Zhen appeared with a shining silver coin in his hand and said, "Is this the money you lost?"

Ji Ping shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, Master Xian, didn't I just say that my money is just made of copper, copper plates!"

Li Zhen glanced at the young man secretly and resentfully, and said helplessly: "One silver coin can be exchanged for ten copper coins at least. That's good. I'll give this to you."

Ji Ping still insisted: "This is not something I threw away, I can't have it."

Li Zhen could only say: "I understand, I will look for it again."

He disappeared for the third time. After a while, he finally found the green clam coin and showed it in front of Ji Ping.

Ji Ping took the green clam money and said happily: "This is the copper coin. Thank you, Immortal Master. Thank you so much. By the way, Immortal Master, where are you coming from and where are you going? You must be on your way at this noon."

You haven’t had time to eat yet, how about I treat you to grilled fish?”

Li Zhen was completely speechless.

Although it is said that the purpose of Hexiang is to create a friendly atmosphere, this young man is too honest and hospitable.

"I... No, I don't want to eat. Drinking the northwest wind is enough. Thank you."

"The Immortal is so powerful. He can feel full even if he drinks the northwest wind!"

"It seems that cultivating immortals can save a lot of food."

Amidst such sighs, the young man Ji Ping agreed to Li Zhen's request for confidentiality and not tell outsiders about his temporary residence on the cliff on the shore, and then hurried back.

Li Zhen looked at the two special magic weapons, one gold and one silver, in his hand, chuckled secretly, and put them away.

"It seems that this transaction method is not feasible. This young man may have a simple nature, or he may be warned by his spiritual awareness, and he will not accept the money in exchange for the green clams."
