Everyone looked confused as to whether the blessing this person was talking about was the same as the deceitful blessing before. How could it be a panacea and how could it prolong life?
When they got closer, everyone saw the man clearly, and shrank back with shocked expressions on their faces.
Li Qingxian looked at this young man. He had an average appearance, slightly white skin, and a jagged beard that looked like it was cut by a sickle, stained with tiny stains.
He was wearing blue clothes that had been washed white, with holes in his elbows and knees, and thin cotton threads sticking out.
The black character "福" on his body has also been worn away a lot, and the corners are missing.
The man's clothes were baggy and did not fit him well. The scabbard on his waist was broken, revealing a rusty long knife.
This man's legs were only worn in torn shorts. The exposed calf was extremely thick, thicker than the thigh. The surface of the left calf was covered with brown bark, and the right leg was shaped like a gray rock. There were looming blood vessels among the rocks and bark.
His abdomen was swollen, as if there was a big ball hidden inside.
He walked stiffly and slowly, his stomach swayed from side to side constantly, and he made a gurgling sound like a bubbling water ball.
Li Qingxian took another look at the people not far away. They were sallow and thin, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes. Their clothes were shabby and washed white, and they didn't wear any shoes.
They are all the same as those who came here, with some strange shapes on their bodies.
Some people have two heads standing on their shoulders, some have right hands that are three feet long, and some have a circle of wild grass around their necks.
Everyone said nothing and looked at Li Qingxian.
Li Qingxian said: "Brother, what do you mean by blessing? Also, are there any special rules in this place? It's the kind of rules where people will disappear if you talk nonsense and open your mouth."
The man smiled and said: "Blessings are blessings. As soon as you come in, you will definitely meet your neighbors praying for blessings. They will ask for blessings in return. Anyway, you don't know what they want, so you can only accept their blessings. Their blessings are what I say.
blessing."
Yu Ping said: "But isn't that... something that cannot be said? How can it be a panacea to prolong life?"
The man laughed and said: "Haha, you were also deceived by the outside world and thought this was a strange place? You are wrong, this is a blessed land, a blessed town. Those blessings sent are all good things. Blessings are panaceas, and blessings can prolong life.
.”
Everyone was even more confused, and some even looked at the man warily.
After all, everyone remembers clearly what happened before, and they cannot forget it so quickly.
The man glanced at the crowd, showing a dumbfounded look, and said: "You really misunderstood. By the way, you are worried that this is a treacherous place with all kinds of treacherous rules, right? No, there are only some small things that happen when the full moon hangs in the sky.
, but it will pass soon, it’s nothing. Look, I said it’s weird, isn’t it okay?”
"May I ask your surname?" Han Anbo said.
"My last name is Xu and my last name is Changren. Really, except for the full moon hanging in the sky, nothing will happen. If I were to lie to you, I wouldn't even tell you about the full moon hanging in the sky."
Han Anbo said: "Then I ask you to say something, do you dare to say it?"
"Dare, what's the point of not daring?" Xu Changren said.
Han Anbo said: "People are gone, what do you say here?"
"People are dead."
"What do you guys say here about Zhonggui?"
"We don't have tricks here, only blessings." Xu Changren suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I kindly advise you not to mislead the public with your lies. There are no tricks in Fu Town, only blessings. You are newcomers, so there is nothing wrong with you. You can leave here.
If you mention that word indiscriminately again, you will be severely punished. I think that all of you who are officials are decent people and will accumulate merits and enter the Shangshan Mountains in the future, so I advise you. If you were an ordinary person, I would have gone under the knife a long time ago."
Li Qingxian, Han Anbo and others looked at each other, and their hearts sank.
"Where is the upper mountain area?" Han Anbo pointed to the brightly lit mansion in the middle of the mountain.
Xu Changren turned his head and looked over, sighing: "Yes, that's the Shangshan District. Experts, I don't have much ability, but I'm a hard-nosed person who works hard. When you enter the Shangshan District, if you need helpers and followers, you can come to me.
I hope you will be satisfied. I am unlucky. I have only been lucky three times in the past two years. I think I can follow you for a long time."
Some people were confused after hearing this. Is there something wrong with this person's brain? Why is it that he has bad luck and yet he can live for a long time despite being unlucky?
But others frowned slightly and their faces became increasingly serious.
Li Qingxian said: "Since this is not a treacherous place and there are no treacherous rules, what are the rules in Fuzhen?"
Xu Changren smiled and said: "This gentleman is smart. Fuzhen naturally has its own rules. The first rule of Fuzhen is that everything must be obeyed by the town government and the mayor. It doesn't take much to explain this.
Tell me?"
Everyone nodded.
"The second rule is that everyone must accumulate virtue. If you accumulate more virtue, you can buy a good house, even go to the mountains, exchange money, and do almost anything."
"The third rule is that everyone must go to the lower yamen to register. The lower class must hand over half of their property and exchange it for virtue. The middle class must hand over 20% of their property. The upper class does not need to hand over and gets a thousand virtues in vain. By the way.
, when you save ten thousand virtues, you can apply to live in Shangshan District. Several of them are experts who want to enter Shangshan District. They are different from us. I am envious..."
Li Qingxian said: "Please tell me a few important rules first, and we will talk about other rules later."
Han Anbo took a few steps forward, walked to the door, took out a large amount of money, and stuffed it into Xu Changren's hand.
Xu Changren's eyes lit up, and he said, "You can't do this. If Mr. Fu sees it, you will be punished. But I won't do it next time." After saying that, he put away the copper coins.
The merchants in brocade clothes breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Changren said in a voice that could only be heard by people close by: "You all have extraordinary backgrounds and are going to enter Shangshan District. Therefore, the Yamen will give you some face. You may know some of the big shots in Shangshan District. Let's borrow some information first.
Virtue, it is most important to go and live in Shangshan District first. Remember, the most important thing is to enter and live in Shangshan District before the first full moon hangs in the sky. This is the most important, everything else comes second."
The people behind him couldn't hear it, so they took two steps, stopped again, and looked at Li Qingxian hesitantly.
Li Qingxian sent a message: "Zhongfu, is it good or not?"
Xu Changren stared at Li Qingxian and said slowly: "Fu is a panacea. Fu can prolong life."
A stack of banknotes appeared in Li Qingxian's hand.
Xu Changren smiled and said: "Mr. Ye Wei, only copper coins and gold and silver are useful here. Which bank can I exchange for silver notes?"
The expressions of the merchants in brocade clothes at the rear all changed.
"Of course I'll go out and change," Li Qingxian said.
Xu Changren smiled. Every inch of his skin, every wrinkle, and every part seemed to be entangled with bitterness.
"You will understand if you stay here for a few more days. There are cashiers, but so far, no one has used them..." Xu Changren looked deeply at Li Qingxian and said, "Of course, it is said that decades ago, Nanfu
A noble man came out of the town and left, but in our town of Xifu, no one has ever needed a banknote, never! I hope you can understand, I can't say more about anything else," Xu Changren said.
