Chapter 367 Innocence
When he left the palace, Tongtian Sect Master carried a piece of gold with him.
I turned around and exchanged it for fifteen taels of silver, and I was very happy.
I have money for this winter.
Along the way, heavy snow was still falling.
The spiritual energy is responsible. In fact, the people in every place in the Daqian Dynasty are already considered practitioners. Those who freeze to death are very few. After being blessed by the spiritual energy, their physical strength and lifespan will increase.
Tongtian Patriarch walked and looked around along the way, silently recording the people's livelihood in his heart, and at this moment he felt a little cold again.
Hey, let’s go back and rest first. It’s still too cold here.
As the sky gradually darkened, the heavy snow had already reached my knees as I walked along the road. However, when I arrived at the door, the snow looked as if it had just been swept.
The light was flickering in the wooden window. As expected, it was Taohong from next door who had come.
They are all miserable people. Thinking of this, Tongtian Sect Master sighed slightly.
When he lost his two brothers, it was as if he had lost everything and no longer cared about the existence of the divine world. Taohong was also left alone and helpless because of the restraint of fate on her family.
Of course, he knew Taohong's intentions, but to him, such things were dispensable. His arrogant heart could not accommodate any existence except himself, especially after his cultivation was lost here.
When he pushed open the door, he saw a lot of new things in the simple room, such as a repaired window and a heater that emitted heat. The warm air hit him in the face. Tongtian Sect Master closed the door, and Taohong had already left.
On the table was a newly made cotton-padded jacket, bright red. He didn't like bright red, but it was indeed freezing.
There was also a bowl of medicine and prepared dinner, all covered.
This person is quite thoughtful. If there is a chance, I will definitely give you the chance of immortality.
There are gains and losses. This move has already left some warmth in Tongtian Sect Master's heart, and he will naturally find ways to repay it.
However, Taohong's life in this life is narrow. If she is given blessings in the next life, she will naturally live a better life. She may be reborn into a family of monks, or a saint and genius of a large sect. It is always much better than leaving this world with nothing and just hoping to prolong her life.
Tongtian Patriarch did not refuse or send it back to the other party, but was thinking of sending some silver later. However, when he opened the drawer, he saw a lot of small change in it, about eight or nine taels, and a big red envelope, which also contained about ten taels of small change and a body-tempering pill.
He sighed helplessly and put in the fifteen taels of silver he had received as a gift from the palace for naming today.
Well, now I have about thirty taels of silver.
I feel like I can spend a very comfortable winter this year.
After experiencing the cold and heat, Tongtian Sect Master actually felt a lot.
Life can be so fragile that a cold can almost kill an ordinary person?
The Tianxuan Continent where the Daqian Dynasty is located is relatively good. The rulers are clear and honest, and the local bureaucrats abide by the law and respect the people. But if it were other lower realms, it would probably not be like this.
I have always hoped that everyone in the world could become a dragon, and thus gain a foothold and prosper in the divine world, but I have never seen through this truth.
Some time ago, a poor and helpless old scholar walked past the door. Judging from his fate, he should have the potential to become a prime minister, but he was extremely poor.
When asked, the old scholar said that he had entered the cabinet three years ago and was considered one of the prime ministers of the dynasty.
Tongtian was even more confused. Why would someone who could enter the cabinet be like this?
The old scholar said that he had criticized the internal affairs of the dynasty. The current emperor ignored the affairs of state and handed them over to a dynasty emperor, leaving the world to outsiders. Later, even the cabinet monopolized power to control the court, and had been alienated from the people for a long time!
Tongtian Patriarch was silent for a long time, but he refrained from cursing...
Three years ago, Ye Yao and Chu Mu were just born. You asked Fellow Daoist Ye to manage the government?
Moreover, Master Tongtian had deduced long ago that the prosperity of this dynasty was before the appearance of Chu Ning. Without Chu Ning, how could there be the current prosperous situation? Even Qiu Zun, the chief minister of the cabinet who was not even at the celestial realm, could command so many emperors.
After asking several questions, the old scholar finally said that it would definitely be better if I were to be the prime minister of the cabinet.
Screw it, I don't want to bother with it...
Finally, the old scholar sighed and said, "The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy..."
It seemed to have been written by Chu Ning as well, and he had read it as well.
Tongtian Sect Master was very curious whether this old man could do it. If he was good, he would recommend him.
Then he took some spirit stones and exchanged them for tens of thousands of taels of gold, and used some tricks to help the old man get the gold and gold notes reasonably.
That night, the old scholar came to the brothel and had sex with ten women. He died the next day. His body was thrown outside the city and the gold notes were handed over to the government.
It seems that he was just talking on paper. No wonder he was kicked out of the cabinet. His death was not a pity.
People are ever-changing. From a high perspective, we can see their schemes and calculations, while from a low perspective, we can see the level of their character in dealing with people and the world. That's how it is.
I gained a lot, and my heart of Taoism became more fulfilled.
dong dong dong.
While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
"Gongming, I see you're back, so I made you another quilt."
"Taohong, you don't have to do this. I am not tainted by the worldly affairs, so there is no point in you doing this."
The woman outside the door was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "I always felt that you were alone and had no one to take care of you, so I just wanted to help you out. I didn't think too much about it. Besides, you are good-looking, and many young ladies from wealthy families in the capital come to you for fortune-telling. What can I tell you?"
"It's just a quilt. I got the silver back for you. Don't worry too much about it."
Tongtian Sect Master then slowly went to look at the door. The light from the stove inside the door reflected on the woman's plain face. He only saw sincerity and no other thoughts.
Tongtian Patriarch took the quilt.
"If you haven't eaten yet, let's eat some together. It's really thoughtful of you."
The woman smiled and nodded.
"Where did Gongming go today? Why haven't I seen him all day?"
"I went to the palace to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor."
The woman naturally didn't believe it. How could a Taoist priest with no high level of cultivation easily reach the threshold of the imperial palace, let alone meet His Majesty and the Emperor?
But he continued with a smile: "The palace must be very big, made of gold and white jade, right?"
"I once had a White Jade Palace, made of gold and jade, but it was too dazzling and I didn't like it, so I put it aside. As for the imperial palace, it was not so ostentatious. It was mostly decorated with rare and precious trees, which were far more valuable than gold and white jade, but it was very calm and restrained."
"So that's the case. Do they use golden hoes to hoe the fields?"
"Do we eat beef and mutton every day, grilled or boiled?"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian Sect Leader smiled rarely.
"Yes, three meals a day, all the same."
Stupid innocence, yet so simple.
