Chapter 56 (2/2)
Xiaodong blinked and understood.
At the same time, the tall and mysterious image of Tianji mountain in his mind collapsed.
It turns out that the people in Tianji mountain are the same as the profiteers who do small business in the market.
Mo Chen also knows that younger martial brother compares that, um, simple, patient explanation to him.
”A clan needs many conditions to maintain. One of the most important things is to have money. ”
Xiaodong's face wrinkled up, obviously he felt that the words sounded a little awkward.
Mo Chen laughed and rubbed his head.
”I know what you're thinking. When I was a child, I thought it was a common thing to raise money. When I said this, I felt that I had lost my status and was embarrassed. But then I took over some of the chores and customs from my master, and I gradually understood. People who practice Taoism are also human beings. They are not immortals. They can't eat good manners and drink dew. They also have to eat grains and make clothes. When they go out, they also have human exchanges. Just like last year when master went down the mountain, there was a father Geng to celebrate his birthday. Can't master go empty handed? Where did the delivery come from? ”
Xiaodong grabs his head: ”elder martial brother is right. Where do we come from?”
They don't sell talismans, they don't tell people how to make a living.
”You don't have to worry about that.” Mo Chen looked at his tangled small appearance and wanted to tease him: ”in short, you are hungry.”
Of course, Xiaodong believes that the elder martial brother will not let himself go hungry, but he guesses that Huihui mountain is certainly not the kind of rich and generous land. What they usually wear and eat are simple and plain. They never wear fancy clothes and eat with luxury. Huihui mountain may not have any income, so we have a very poor life.
Xiaodong ponders, he is not old now, also did not learn what skill. In a few years, he will be able to use it. He must try to earn some money for the sect, so that both master and elder martial brother can live a more comfortable life.
He didn't say what he thought, but Mo Chen could see something.”Money is absolutely necessary to make a living. However, things like money and things, after all, are external things, and enough is enough. People who practice Taoism should cultivate their moral integrity and keep their mind from being disturbed by foreign things, so they don't have to work hard on it. ” After a pause, Mo Chen took Tianji mountain as an example: ”Tianji mountain has a large family and a large number of people, but the school is becoming increasingly large and bloated, and its children are mixed up. Few of them are really outstanding. Hu Zhenzhen was also very helpless when he talked about the struggle for power and power in the sects. He felt that these people were bound by worldly affairs, but they left the cultivation of Taoism behind. It was really putting the cart before the horse. ”
Xiaodong sat upright and answered very seriously: ”elder martial brother's instruction, I wrote it down.”
”Well, it's not out there, and you don't want to be so serious.” Mo Chen put the rune paper back for him and handed it back to him.
”All right, go and get ready. It's time for a bath.”
Xiaodong answered.
Since the beginning of spring, the elder martial brother has given him a medicine bath every few days, saying that it is good for the root and bone. Xiaodong knows that he is poor in talent. If he wants to take this road, he has to work harder than others, so he will do what his elder martial brother says. Now it has been soaked twice. I can't see how effective it is. I want to know that this kind of thing will not get immediate effect. I'm afraid that it will not be effective after soaking it for ten times and eight times.
Before, Xiaodong just felt a little uncomfortable when taking a medicine bath, but now he is more worried.
How much does it cost him to soak a bucket of medicine every time? You're not going to make Shifu poor, are you?
When Xiao Dong took off his clothes and tied his hair, he was a little absent-minded.
It was not cold now. Xiaodong took off his coat and underpants. His hair was tied tightly on his head. He wrapped up a single robe and ran into the room where he took a medicine bath.
Mo Chen has prepared the medicine juice, reached out to try the water temperature, turned his head and said, ”OK, come in.”
