Chen Xiaobei said goodbye to Liu Rumei and returned to the inn with a somewhat complicated mood. It could be seen that Liu Rumei was able to accept it and gave up everything in front of him, even asking his father to become a monk. However, it seemed that Liu Yuanwen still had some ideas and could not make up his mind.
.
Of course, you can't blame him for this. No one else would be able to make such a decisive decision when faced with fame and fortune. It takes time, and even more so, patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Xiao An acted very quickly. Early the next morning, a Dharma altar was set up outside the west gate. Taoists and monks took turns chanting sutras, and the riverside was very lively.
With the construction of the altar, public opinion gradually began to change.
The slight influence brought by the collection of books in the fish belly was completely offset. People talked about going to the river every day because there were monsters here. The emperor invited eminent Taoist monks to do it.
Such an argument made Chen Xiaobei very depressed. What made him even more depressed was that Feng Xiaoyue fell ill due to internal and external worries.
Seeing Feng Xiaoyue lying on the bed, her sallow face looking haggard, Chen Xiaobei felt a little distressed.
Although Lamu invited the best doctor in the capital and prescribed medicine for Feng Xiaoyue to take, it seemed to be of no use.
Lin Yang knew that Feng Xiaoyue was suffering from a heart disease and that medication alone would have little effect. If Feng Xiaoyue was to be cured, his father must be rescued.
Back in his room, Chen Xiaobei sat there looking helpless.
Seeing this, Huang Ying poured a cup of tea, put it in his hand, and asked softly, "Husband, the doctor has already come to see you, so don't worry."
Xiaobei sighed, "Sister Xiaoyue is suffering from a heart disease. If she can't save her father, I'm afraid she won't be cured."
After hearing these words, Huang Ying's mind suddenly moved, and she remembered the words of Master Lianhua before he left.
He wanted to tell Chen Xiaobei the truth, but then he remembered something else said by the Lotus Leader, that is, if Chen Xiaobei really helped Feng Xiaoyue so much, Feng Xiaoyue would definitely agree to it, and then he would
Won't you be left out?
Huang Ying was very hesitant. Seeing that she was silent, Chen Xiaobei asked her, "Huang Ying, what's wrong with you? You look hesitant, do you have something to say?"
Huang Ying shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I just think Sister Xiaoyue is quite pitiful. She..." Huang Ying sighed mid-sentence, but Chen Xiaobei didn't think much about it, and followed Huang Ying's words and continued, "Yes,
It's hard enough for a person. It's not easy for him to have so many homeless orphans in Xiaojia Town and have to worry about his father's affairs."
The more Chen Xiaobei said this, the more conflicted Huang Ying felt, and she could only find an excuse to turn around.
At this moment, Liu Ce and Liu Tie arrived, and they were also anxious. They set up a altar outside, which was even more detrimental to Liu Xiangnan's public opinion.
"Brother Xiaobei, what do you think we should do? The monks and Taoists above said that there are monsters causing trouble in the river, and our book in the belly of the fish will only make the Marquis more guilty."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei also sighed with emotion, yes, this is the importance of controlling public opinion.
The common people just follow this trick. Whoever takes the advantage will take the initiative, and it will be difficult for me to regain the victory.
"Brothers, don't be anxious. We must wait for a suitable opportunity. If they can set up a stall and do this, then we will break their law."
Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment and came up with a solution.
He hurried to find Yang Zhi and said to Yang Zhi as soon as he entered the door, "Brother Yang, do you still have the fish medicine?"
Yang Zhi nodded, "Of course we have this. I can get you as much as you want!"
"Okay, Brother Yang, listen to me. You can put the fish medicine in the east, west, north and south gates tonight."
"I want to see if his method is more powerful, or if Brother Yang Zhi's medicine is more powerful."
After hearing this, Yang Zhi, Liu Ce and Liu Tie couldn't help but their eyes lit up, not to mention that this was really a good idea.
As long as the fish schools continue to appear, and appear in all directions, it means that the so-called method of the monk and Taoist priest is not working. As long as the monk and Taoist priest does not work, then Chen Xiaobei and the others will naturally have a chance.
"Brother Xiaobei, although the method is good, these fish schools appear every day, and eventually the people will get tired."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, as he said, it is indeed a bit boring to just catch this fish.
"This is not difficult. As long as the fish schools continue to appear, these monks and Taoists will naturally retreat. The emperor will definitely find someone to do it again. I will take over when the time comes. I will be able to deal with it myself."
After hearing this, Lardo couldn't help but give Chen Xiaobei a thumbs up.
"I didn't expect brother Xiaobei to know how to arrange magic circles. Please tell me what tricks you know about magic circles."
What kind of move is it? Chen Xiaobei said to himself about his past life. He had read many stories about martial arts. They were nothing more than Zuo Qing, Dragon on the right, White Tiger on the right, Suzaku on the front and Xuanwu on the other.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei remembered again, when he followed the prince and the others to the top. The Taiping Master once said that he wanted to build a four-spirit formation to protect the dragon's veins, with a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, with a red bird in front and a black bird in the back.
So it seems that the world also believes in these things.
After listening to his story, Raldo next to him couldn't help but said, "Oh, having said that, these four spiritual beasts are all rare things. Where can we find them?"
"Yeah, no one has ever seen what a Suzaku is. Besides, there's not even a mountain within a hundred miles, so where can we find a tiger?"
When they heard this, Chen Xiaobei's eyes suddenly lit up. Hey, he was really begging for food with gold and platinum in his hands. Didn't he have these things in his hometown? The tiger would be a white tiger, and a few big snakes would be a blue dragon. There are still some at home.
There is a big turtle, and as for the rosefinch, two pheasants can handle it.
Aren’t the four great spiritual beasts of yours now complete?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited and said to Raldo, "Gang Leader, write to Yang Chun immediately..."
It wasn't until Chen Xiaobei finished making arrangements that Liu Ce and Liu Tie stood up and bowed deeply to him together, "Thank you so much for your help, brother Xiaobei. When things are done, we will work together to repay brother Xiaobei."
A great kindness and virtue.”
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and said with a smile, "There is no need to be so polite. Since you and I are brothers, why do we need to be so clear about it?"
"When I went to visit the prison, there was one more thing I needed your help with. I heard from the prince that there was a man named Chen Ermao being imprisoned in the cellar of the Marquis's residence. He was a villager of my Hetou Village."
"I hope you two can take advantage of the darkness to take a look and give him some food and drink, especially since he is starving to death."
The main reason why Chen Xiaobei asked people to bring food and drinks instead of bringing Chen Ermao up was because it was already chaotic enough, and if he was allowed to come out again, it would make the chaos even worse.
