The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Return to Qingshan Temple.

Master Zheng Panshi prepared the meal.

All are vegetarian dishes.

The chopped braised mutton and wine were placed next to Taoist Zheng.

"This mutton is not well braised."

Taoist Zheng took a bite of the braised mutton with bamboo chopsticks, tasted it briefly, then threw the piece of mutton on the chopsticks to the ground, then picked up the vegetarian vegetables, mixed them with wine and started eating and drinking together.

“Xingshenglou’s braised mutton is quite famous.”

Zheng Pan said in surprise. She took a mouthful of mutton and put it in her mouth. She didn't realize how bad the taste was.

The little girl in red also took a bite, but her face turned bitter and she spat the mutton out of her small mouth.

A very ordinary little thing.

Some people like to eat certain foods, and some people don't.

But Bai Gui saw the clues.

Pork was considered cheap meat in the Tang Dynasty because no mature castration method was invented. At the same time, monks like to eat vegetarian dishes, and the dishes they eat are often light. This can be proven by the fact that Taoist Zheng often asked Zheng Pan to cook vegetarian dishes.

But... mutton is obviously the meat most commonly eaten by the upper class, but Taoist Zheng did not have the habit of eating mutton in Bai Gui's memory.

This is extremely strange.

Meat in ancient times was not as abundant as in later generations. Common people only ate three types of meat: pork, mutton, and dog meat. Other meats were either rare or had other uses.

Eating pork means not avoiding meat.

"Taoist Zheng said that the mutton was not well braised, so he didn't eat it. He was deliberately covering up the fact that he didn't eat mutton."

"So... Taoist Zheng is most likely a sheep demon."

Bai Gui boldly speculated from the existing information.

He didn't see Taoist Zheng's true form with his qi-gazing technique, but that didn't mean that Taoist Zheng wasn't a demon. For example, after Bai Suzhen became an immortal, he couldn't see Bai Suzhen's true body using Qi-gazing technique at all, because Bai Suzhen had already refined her body into a Taoist form, which was not much different from a human being.

Otherwise, the immortals and gods in the upper world would all become beasts in clothes.

"Since this braised mutton is not delicious, I will try another restaurant next time."

Bai Gui said.

Taoist Zheng hummed slightly and continued eating.

…

Five days later.

Taoist Zheng took Bai Gui to visit the mountains and do business.

Bai Gui had misunderstandings about this business at first. He thought Taoist Zheng taught him the art of animal-making, intending to rob women and children, and then use the art of animal-making to turn them into donkeys and mules for sale in order to make huge profits.

Unexpectedly, the business that Taoist Zheng mentioned was really just the business of a Taoist priest, who could cure diseases and bring blessings, find dragons and tap acupoints, and give talismans to save people.

"How much money can you make from animal making?"

Taoist Zheng seemed to have guessed Bai Gui's thoughts. It was not difficult to guess. After all, he only passed on this spell to Bai Gui. He sneered and said: "In the donkey and mule market of Chang'an West City, an ordinary donkey is only fifty or sixty years old." Go up and down, the donkeys created by animal-making techniques are often priced down by vendors because they are thin, and they are only worth thirty guan at most. However, as a Taoist priest like me, I only need to find the right time to visit the home of a wealthy family. , the money earned is more than this."

"Besides, it's enough to kill one person. Taking so many women and children captive will inevitably harm the peace of heaven and earth. It's not worth it."

he added.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that it’s not worth doing.

"Master is sensible."

Bai Gui was slightly surprised and immediately replied.

Also, he has been doing business with Taoist Zheng these days and has earned a lot of money, already five to six hundred dollars. And this money is very easy to earn. As long as you recite some prayers, perform some spells, or perform miracles, money will flow into your pocket in a steady stream. There is no need to create animal magic, which is harmful to heaven and earth, to make money.

"I've almost made enough money recently."

Taoist Zheng weighed the money bag in his hand, then looked at Bai Gui, smiled and said, "Master brought you out this time and found a good job for you."

Liangzhou Prefecture is not far from Guanzhong.

The two of them were "doing business" along the way, naturally moving from sparsely populated areas to densely populated areas, so along the way, they had already entered Guanzhong and arrived in Jingyang County.

Soon after, Taoist Zheng bought a scholar's outfit from the city and threw it to Bai Gui.

"A few days ago, I was a guest at the Water Mansion of the Dragon King of the Jinghe River, and I accidentally learned a secret. The second son of the Dragon King of the Jinghe River, Lord Jingyang, had neglected his wife, but he was afraid that the wife would go to Dongting to complain, so Jingyang You asked the Dragon King of Jinghe to place his wife under house arrest..."

The two talked as they walked.

Suddenly we arrived at a wide land with dense forest and endless trickling water. There were many sheep grazing on the hillside. Next to the sheep, there was a shepherdess lying next to the bluestone with a sad look on her face.

"Your master, a purdah woman, can be passionate about you. It shows that you have good looks."

"In the past few days, I have evaluated your conversation and handling of things when facing a crisis. They are all calm and unhurried. Although I don't know why you became enlightened, you are the best candidate..."

Taoist Zheng said calmly.

Bai Gui said nothing.

It's hard to talk about things like enlightenment. Some people are born stupid, but if they become enlightened, they can quickly pass the imperial examination. For example, Su Shi's father Su Xun said, "Su Laoquan started to get angry and read books at the age of twenty-seven." You must know that Su Xun was a sword-wielding knight in the past. "It was difficult to read when I was young." When he was young, he had nothing to do with great writers.

He was not seizing the body, so Zheng Taoist just thought that he had an enlightenment and suddenly became much smarter than before.

Although this kind of thing is surprising, Su Laoquan is not the only one in ancient books to do this. Therefore, Bai Gui's abnormality is still within the understandable range and is not an exaggeration.

"Practice pays attention to wealth, partners, Dharma, and land."

"If you can please the three dragon girls in Dongting, you will have everything you need, such as a wealthy couple and a land, and you may be able to go further than being a teacher..."

Taoist Zheng groaned and said.

"this……"

Bai Gui held the scholar's outfit and hesitated for a while.

He never expected that Taoist Zheng would have such a purpose.

However, it is true that as Zheng Daoshi said, he hooked up with the Three Dragon Girls of Dongting, and he will not lack anything in his future wealthy couple. When it comes to wealth, even if the Dragon Lord of Dongting is not as rich as the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, it is not far behind.

"Go quickly, go quickly."

"I will cast a spell later to create opportunities for you."

Taoist Zheng urged.

He did not give Bai Gui any restrictive spells.

If this thing comes to pass, Bai Gui will bear his share of the cause and effect, regardless of whether he feels grateful or not. If his cultivation is weak, he cannot help him. If his cultivation is strong, this cause and effect cannot be ignored.

Cause and effect is the best means of restriction.

On the contrary, if there is any restriction method such as poison, if Bai Guiruo succeeds, he will report it to Dongting Longjun, but he will steal the chicken but lose the rice.

"Master, this is the first time for this apprentice to have very good hands."

Bai Gui hesitated.

He planned to ask for more benefits from Taoist Zheng.

Taoist Zheng, who can enter and exit the Jinghe Water Mansion and discuss friendship with the Jinghe Dragon King, is definitely not an ordinary person.

At the same time, he also planned to hide his clumsiness.

It would be hard to explain for him, a young Taoist priest who was new to the world, if he directly seduced the three dragon girls.

"You're right."

Taoist Zheng frowned and took out a bottle of elixir from his arms, "This is the Seven Emotions Powder refined for my master. It is extremely precious. As for the effect, you will know it later when you use it."

Seven emotions spread into my arms.

Bai Gui showed his whereabouts. He was walking along the water bank, shaking his head and reciting scriptures as he walked, acting like a scholar.

Although he chanted softly, the waterside was quiet except for the bleating sheep.

The poem fell into the ears of the dragon girl.
