Chapter 200 Chen Jiusi, Don't Be Ignorant
"Boss, it's raining!"

Hearing Chen Heng's reply, Chen Jie was stunned. He turned his head to look outside, only to see that the sky, which had been clear at first, had suddenly turned dark, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

And there were bursts of thunder in the distant sky.

A huge bolt of lightning flashed across the distant sky, like a giant dragon.

Hua Hua Hua...

It started to rain. Chen Jie and Old Monster Liu came to the door and raised their hands. Suddenly, raindrops flew across the sky.

Seeing this, Old Monster Liu said, "It's raining. When the rain stops, the Medicine King's treasure will appear."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked up at the sky and said, "The Mian River is thirty-three feet deep..."

Old Monster Liu said, "Yes."

Chen Jie said: "That... a natural disaster!"

Chen Jie said with a look of pity that during the flood season, the water level of the Mianshui River would only rise by more than ten feet at most, but this time it had risen by two times. The people along the river and the villages downstream of the Mianshui River...

An expression of pity emerged on Chen Jie's face.

But Old Monster Liu didn't care and said, "Natural disasters can be avoided, but it is a natural disaster for the people, but it is an unprecedented great opportunity for us!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Liu, I would like to borrow your Cao Gang's channels."

Old Monster Liu said, "Hmm?"

Chen Jie said: "I want to buy some food in case of emergency."

After hearing this, Old Monster Liu said, "Food. Huangzhou Prefecture has a bumper harvest this year. There is plenty of food. It's okay."

Chen Jie didn't say anything, but looked at Old Weird Liu. Old Weird Liu looked at Chen Jie and said after a while, "Forget it, I'll do as you say. It just so happens that I have several large grain merchants in Huangzhou Prefecture. They are worried about the bumper harvest this year and they can't sell the grain. If you want to buy, you can get 20% lower than the market price. I'll contact them."

Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu. I'll take as much food as you have."

"Can you eat so much? Just buy some for emergency."

Chen Jie said: "Stock up a little more and you will feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu said, "Okay, I'll contact them for you, but can you store so much food? Forget it, I'll lend you a few more warehouses. My business in the Cao Gang is not doing well recently, so the warehouses are just sitting there anyway."

"Thank you, Brother Liu."

Chen Jie clasped his fists, and Old Monster Liu continued, "But Jiusi, our focus should still be on the treasure. As for natural disasters, these days, natural and man-made disasters happen everywhere."

"Don't worry too much about it. Just stock up on some food to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu. Jiusi understands."

Old Monster Liu said, "Then I'll leave first."

Chen Jie waved his hand when he heard that, and Chen Heng directly took out an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Chen Jie.

Chen Jie opened his fan and said, "Brother Liu, let me shelter you from the rain."

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu nodded, took the paper umbrella and left.

After Old Monster Liu left, Chen Jie looked at the dark clouds in the sky and the heavy rain, and frowned.

"Chen Heng, call Zhou Chu, Sixi, Chen Wang, Zhong Shu, and Liu Yishou to my study to discuss this matter!"

After hearing this, Chen Heng immediately said, "It's the gang leader."

Xiaohu Chen Jie did not call him back because he was mainly responsible for the battle and he could not get involved in such logistical matters. Su Yunjin was also outside giving alms. If he was called back at this time, who would be responsible for his wife's safety?

Soon Zhou Chu, Sixi, Chen Wang, Wu Zhong and Liu Yishou all arrived.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Chen Jie's face full of worry. The four of them were shocked and wondered what could make the gang leader so worried?

As he was thinking this, he heard Chen Heng say, "Boss, the people are here."

Chen Jie looked at the people and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

Chen explained, but his eyes were looking outside through the open window.

Seeing this scene, several people followed Chen Jie's gaze and looked out, only to see a light rain falling outside.

But they didn't understand why the rain would make the gang leader so worried.

Thinking of this, everyone turned to look at Chen Jie and asked, "Boss, are you calling us here?"

Chen Jie looked back at them and said, "Everyone, a natural disaster is about to happen in the Mian River."

Ah!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the field widened their eyes and looked at Chen Jie in shock.

"Heaven, natural disaster?"

Everyone looked at Chen Jie with disbelief on their faces. After all, a natural disaster was a serious matter, and Mianshui County had been enjoying good weather and no disasters for two or three years. How come a natural disaster suddenly appeared?

Wu Zhong was the closest to Chen Jie. He looked at Chen Jie and said, "Boss, where did this talk of a natural disaster come from? There hasn't been any abnormal weather in the Mian River recently."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked up and pointed at the rain outside the window.

The rain outside the window was not heavy, just a drizzle.

Wu Zhong took a look and said, "Jiu Si, can this drizzling rain be considered a natural disaster?"

The others also said, "Yeah, the rain will probably stop tonight!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie was silent for a moment and said, "What if it never stops?"

"Ok?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Don’t stop?

Everyone turned to look outside where the drizzle was still falling, and their faces slowly changed. If it keeps falling, then isn't that a flood?
The next moment everyone looked at Chen Jie.

"Boss, no, we can't stop!"

Chen explained: "The Mian River has risen by 33 feet, and a dragon has appeared in the blue clouds. The Mian River has flowed away and treasures have appeared. After the rain, the sky has cleared for 30 years!"

After hearing this, Liu Yishou stood up immediately: "Thirty years, it's been thirty years!"

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!"

Everyone looked at Liu Yishou. He was the oldest among them and remembered the turmoil in the Mian River. At that time, he was still a young doctor and could not forget the horrific scene in the river.

It rained, drizzled, for ten days and ten nights. After ten days and ten nights, the Mian River flooded and directly destroyed the villages downstream.

All of a sudden, all the people in a village were swept away by the flood.

At that time, he was hiding in the Mianshui County. The terrain of the county was high, so even if the Mianshui River flooded, it would not be destroyed. However, the drowned people who were carried in every day at that time left a deep impression on him.

Unexpectedly, this kind of disaster only occurs once every thirty years!
Is it possible that what happened thirty years ago will happen again?

Thinking of this, Liu Yishou said, "Boss, we need to save the disaster!"

Chen Jie said: "Well, I also know that disaster relief is needed."

Liu Yishou said: "Disaster relief is not only a fight against the heavens, but also a fight against people."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Well, I understand. Mr. Liu, please sit down first."

Chen Jie calmed the excited Liu Yishou down and said, "Chen Hun, the map."

Chen Heng quickly brought over the map of Mianshui County and the surrounding villages. This was a map taken by the fishing gang internally, and it gave a clear understanding of the situation around Mianshui County.

At this time, Chen Jie said, "Mr. Liu, take a look and see if you can still remember the places in Mianshui County that were not flooded before."

Liu Yishou stood up at this time, looked at the map, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Soon Liu Yishou said: "This, this, this is not flooded, and this, this, this..."

Liu pointed at a circle on the map and said, "Boss, I can remember these places."

Chen Jie looked around and saw these places. It must be said that humans have memories, so the places pointed out were all old villages.

There are many old houses in these places, some of which experienced the last major flood and were not affected.

So there are reasons why some old buildings have been preserved.

Chen Jie took a look and found that the location of Xiantao Village was really unlucky. It was actually located downstream of the river. If the river burst its banks, then there was no doubt that Xiantao Village would be the first to be hit.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie took a deep breath.

Xiantao Village, that’s where I was born.

At this time, Wu Zhong also came to the map, and said with an unpleasant expression: "This, this..."

He didn't expect that Xiantao Village was actually within the destructive range of this flood. Thinking of this, Wu Zhong pointed to the map and said, "Xiantao and Xiatao are all low-lying areas. When the flood comes, they will be the first to be hit. This place will become an ocean!"

After hearing this, Chen Heng and Chen Wang all gathered together. Both of them were from Xiantao Village, and their families also lived in Xiantao Village.

Zhou Chu also came over and looked at the geographical location of Xiatao Village, then carefully checked it and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, you see, if this fork is blocked, then the water will not be able to enter our Xiantao Village."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Zhou Chu, if this is blocked, when a flood comes, the neighboring villages and towns will be destroyed. And it's not just one village or town, but this whole area. There are three villages and towns with thousands of people. They will be swept away by the flood. Thousands of people, thousands of households."

Zhou Chu looked at Chen Jie and said, "Boss, let me be frank. Those three towns are not our fishing gang's territory. Old Weird Liu doesn't care about them, so why should we care so much?"

"And here, Xiantao Village, is your home, Uncle Zhong's home, Atun, Awang's home, Huzi's home, and also half of my home. There are too many memories of us here, and I don't want it to be destroyed so easily."

After Zhou Chu finished speaking, Chen Jie fell silent.

That’s right, compared to those villages and towns that Chen Jie had no impression of, Xiantao Village indeed carries too many memories for Chen Jie.

Until now, the small home he and Su Yunjin originally had was still there, as was Uncle Zhong's home. There were even hundreds of people from Xiantao Village in his White Tiger Camp. Their homes were all there. If a flood destroyed that place, Chen Jie was silent.

The others were also silent.

Chen Jie said at this time: "Let's put this matter aside for now. I will think about it again. Now I will issue the order from the gang leader!"

After hearing what Chen Jie said, everyone looked at Chen Jie.

His expression was very serious.

Chen Jie said: "Four joys."

"My subordinate is here."

"First, you need to prepare the food storage, clean drinking water, disaster prevention materials, etc. We must use these ten days to prepare them. I have asked Old Monster Liu to help us collect the food. We just need to prepare to receive them."

"It's the gang leader."

Si Xi immediately bowed in response and arranged for people to do the logistical work such as purchasing.

Chen Jie paused for a moment and continued, "Chu Zhou!"

"My subordinate is here."

Zhou Chu immediately agreed. Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, "Send people to guard the dikes along the Mianshui River and send disciples to patrol the river to keep watch. If the water level rises sharply, report immediately."

Zhou Chu heard this and said, "Yes."

Chen Jie turned to look at Liu Yishou and said, "Old Liu, after a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. We need to stockpile a large amount of epidemic prevention medicines. You need to be responsible for this. Chen Wang, you come to assist Old Liu."

Chen Wang heard this and said, "Yes."

Liu Yishou said: "Okay, I understand."

Finally, Chen Jie looked at Wu Zhong and said, "I have to trouble you again. Please go back to the village recently and ask the brothers in the fish pen to keep a close eye on the movements in the river. Also, mobilize everyone and make preparations to leave the village."

Wu Zhong looked at Chen Jie in surprise, then nodded silently and said, "I understand."

Zhou Chu wanted to speak when he heard this, but was stopped by Si Xi.

Chen Jie said, "Well, everyone go and get busy. You can use the money in the warehouse. Sixi, prepare the bill."

"Yes, understand."

Si Xi nodded immediately and left with a group of people.

When they got outside, Zhou Chu looked at Si Xi and asked, "Si Xi, why did you pull me just now?"

Hearing this, Si Xi looked at Zhou Chu and said, "If I don't pull you in, what do you want to do? Persuade the leader to give up those towns? Build a dam to protect Xiantao Village?"

Zhou Chu said: "Yes."

Si Xi said, "Old Zhou, let's not talk about whether your idea is mature or not, and whether it can really stop the flood. Even if you can stop it, you can obviously solve the flood with one village, but you insist on destroying three towns..."

"So what? Xiantao Village, Xiantao Village, that's the gang leader's hometown. The gang leader's relatives, friends, and ancestral graves are all in Xiantao Village. Are you just going to watch the flood wash away the gang leader's ancestral graves?"

Si Xi was stunned.

Ancestral tombs, in this era, ancestral tombs are very important, they are a person's roots.

Just like after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he immediately listed his hometown as the birthplace of the dragon, and his ancestral tombs were placed in Huangjue Temple, which became a royal cemetery. He also sent eunuchs and officials to guard the tombs of his ancestors.

This shows how much importance people of this era attach to their ancestral graves.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, if you go and dig up someone’s ancestral grave, you will see whether that family will fight you to the death.

Digging up ancestral graves, only someone who hates someone madly would dig up their ancestral graves.

And if this fork in the road is not blocked now, the ancestral tomb of Chen Jiusi’s family will be destroyed. What a big deal!
Si Xi had a lot of reasons at first. For example, Xiantao Village had only a few hundred people, so it would be easy to take them away. However, there were thousands of people in the three towns, and there would be no time to take them away.

Always choose the lesser of two evils and consider the overall situation.

But when Zhou Chu brought up the ancestral tomb of the Old Chen family, Si Xi was speechless. Who would dare to be careless about the ancestral tomb of his own gang leader's family? Even if he was truly doing it for the people, compared with the ancestral tomb of the gang leader's family, it was really not worth mentioning.

What is the ancestral tomb? It is there to protect the gang leader. If the ancestral tomb is destroyed and the gang leader’s fortune is ruined, how should he deal with it?
Si Xi had so much to say that he couldn't say anything. Zhou Chu looked at Si Xi and said, "Si Xi, I understand what you said. I also know what the overall situation is. If it were another place, I would definitely destroy the village and save the town without hesitation, but it won't work here. Do you understand?"

Si Xi nodded slightly.

Yes, on one hand, it is the ancestral tomb of the gang leader, and on the other hand, it is thousands of civilians. Thinking about it, Si Xi said: "Old Zhou, although... Hey, I'll listen to you!"

"As for those villages and towns, try to ease the pressure as much as possible."

After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "Well, this is the only way. I will donate 10,000 taels of silver as a donation for post-disaster reconstruction."

"Old Zhou, you?"

Si Xi looked at Zhou Chu, who smiled bitterly and said, "Ahem, if you do something wrong, you have to pay to atone for it."

After saying that, Zhou Chu turned around and left. Si Xi looked at Zhou Chu's back and felt mixed emotions.

Uncle Zhong and Liu Yishou, who were walking behind, were also talking to each other.

"Ah Zhong, why are you so worried?"

Wu Zhong said: "This flood."

Liu Yishou heard this and said, "Alas... natural disasters and man-made disasters, but you don't have to worry, Zhong. Xiantao Village is the gang leader's hometown and a place where dragons rise. It won't encounter a flood. Didn't Zhou Chu just say that we should block the dam!"

Wu Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "But if this is the case, the three towns downstream will be ruined."

Liu Yishou said: "That is not our fishing gang's territory, and it happened to be a natural disaster, so we have no choice but to do this."

Wu Zhong said: "But as long as Xiantao Village is flooded and used as a water storage area, the three towns can be saved and thousands of people can be saved."

Liu Yishou said, "Haha, Ah Zhong, don't let your imagination run wild. Xiantao Village is of great importance to our fishing gang. Let alone whether the gang leader agrees, even if the people in the gang hear that we are going to flood Xiantao Village, will they agree?"

"Chen Xiaohu, the commander of the White Tiger Camp, Chen Heng, Chen Wang, you, Madam, and hundreds of elite disciples of the White Tiger Camp, they are all from Xiantao Village!"

"Your relatives, friends, houses, fields, property, and ancestral graves are all in Xiantao Village. If you were given a choice, would you let the flood wash away Xiantao Village?"

Liu Yishou said that this Xiantao Village is not only related to Chen Jie, there are also hundreds of White Tiger Camp disciples here!
Their parents, wives and children are all within the coverage area of ​​the flood!
Can they agree?
Even if the gang leader agrees, will they have no objection?

This resistance is too great!

Liu Yishou shook his head. He didn't think Chen Jie had the courage to destroy Xiantao Village and protect the three villages and towns downstream.

Wu Zhong was also stunned when he heard this. He thought about it, looked back at the house, and then turned and left. He planned to go back to the village first, and then discuss with Chen Erba whether to listen to Jiu Si and prepare to evacuate the crowd.

At this time in the room, Chen Jie looked at the map, then circled a few places with a pen.

If we treat these places as flood discharge areas, there should be no problem. We can save most villages and towns at the cost of saving a few villages.

Chen Jie rubbed his eyebrows and said that once this matter was resolved, he would definitely raise the dike of Mianshui County.

In fact, if the levee had been raised in advance this time, with a four-meter-high interception, the water level of thirty-three meters would obviously not be a big problem.

However, the dike in Mianshui County is only two meters high. Although it can block ordinary floods, it is impossible to stop a natural disaster like this one that is obviously out of the ordinary.

The lords of the Mian River had never considered raising the embankment. Thinking of this, Chen Jie sighed. These lords of the Mian River were so short-sighted. They should have built some large flood discharge reservoirs in these places. These reservoirs could be used as flood discharge areas when there were flood disasters.

In normal times when there are no flood disasters, it can also be used as a reservoir to ensure irrigation of surrounding farmland.

By the way, you can also breed some fish and shrimp in this reservoir and make some money. It can be said that there are many ways to make money. As long as you are willing to invest in the early stage, you will definitely make it back in the later stage.

However, these masters of the Mian River allowed floods to wreak havoc, droughts to cause poverty, and were unwilling to spend money on infrastructure construction.

How short-sighted.

Moreover, if you have implemented these convenience measures and the people have benefited, how could they not support you? Wouldn't your position be more stable?
However, Chen Jie quickly figured out what these people were thinking.

After all, they are people of the underworld, and they have never thought about being independent, so even if they became the overlord of Mianshui, the first thing they thought about was to consolidate their position and make money.

Then they started to enjoy themselves, because they didn't even know how long they could enjoy the Mianyang water.

So they are crazy to spend the money they have collected with great difficulty on welfare and infrastructure construction.

After figuring this out, Chen Jie said, "If you don't do it, I will!"

Chen Jie is preparing to seize the world, and the world is so big that it will take a lot of hard work to conquer it. Chen Jie now only has a fishing gang of two to three thousand people, but Chen Jie already has the intention of swallowing up the world.

The Mian River is his base, so he has to manage it well.

Only by laying a solid mass foundation can we, in the future, when we make a call from a high place, hundreds of people will respond, thus forming a force that sweeps the world.

This is why Chen Jie would rather abandon Xiantao Village and save the three villages and towns of the Cao Gang below, because Chen Jie has already regarded those places as his own territory, and those are his people. How can he not treat them well?
After thinking this through, Chen Jie thought to himself, I wonder how my wife is doing on this rainy day.

……

"Thank you ma'am."

"Madam, you are so kind, thank you madam."

"Madam, you are such a kind person!"

At this time in West City, in the spacious house near the venue, Yue Ni was standing in the house. Outside was a group of people queuing up. The drizzle did not affect their enthusiasm for queuing.

We are distributing things, so what does a little rain matter?

The people of Mianshui County lived a hard life. They could not eat meat all year round, and even fine grains were not available.

This year, the fishing gang distributed the leftover steamed buns, roast chicken, sweet and sour carp, and pork elbows from the banquet, which were the things that ordinary people were reluctant to eat during the New Year.

Therefore, when they heard that Mrs. Su from the fishing gang wanted to distribute these things to the people.

The poor people in the entire West City were shocked. Not only people in West City, but even people from other districts came to line up.

Fortunately, Chen Jie prepared a lot of things for the banquet, otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough to share.

Su Yunjin personally participated in the front line of food distribution at this time. Seeing this gorgeously dressed lady personally participating in the distribution, some people in dirty clothes did not dare to come forward because Xiaohu was standing aside, guarding them with a knife.

However, Su Yunjin did not despise them. He pulled over an old lady who was holding a child of Ruirui's age and gave her half a roast chicken and two steamed buns.

The old woman was immediately grateful after seeing this. Su Yunjin packed the things for the old woman and then took a bag containing five kilograms of millet from a disciple of the fishing gang nearby and gave it to the old woman.

After receiving the gift, the grandmother wanted the little girl beside her to kowtow and thank her, but Su Yunjin said, "Grandma, there is no need to do this. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to the fishing gang to find me."

My mother-in-law immediately said, "Thank you."

Su Yunjin smiled, sent her mother-in-law away, and touched the head of the little girl who was wearing tattered clothes and looked like a little mud monkey, without any disgust.

It was a sincere acceptance, without any affectation, so the people who received the alms felt respected, and the meal tasted especially sweet.

Although they are all a form of relief, some people's relief is condescending, making people feel humiliated when they accept your kindness.

However, Su Yunjin gives people the friendliness of a girl next door.

Therefore, the people who received relief all had smiles on their faces and were happy from the bottom of their hearts. No matter whether they accepted the relief or not, they all praised Su Yunjin at this time.

"Madam Su, you are such a kind person!"

"Yes, she is such a nice person. Accepting her things makes me feel respected."

……

Everyone was talking about it. At this time, there was a monk not far away who was watching this side, and his eyes never left Su Yunjin.

He exclaimed in amazement: "His nose is high and straight, his chin is well-groomed, his demeanor is dignified, his manners are elegant, his face is regal, he must be born with a phoenix destiny!"

The monk muttered, "Rare, rare, I came all the way here, and in Haozhou, I saw that girl named Ma, whose appearance can rival hers, she is invaluable!"

Thinking of this, the monk walked directly into the crowd and saw an old man wearing clothes that he had found on the street. He said, "Amitabha, old donor, what are you queuing for?"

The old man was waiting in line when he was suddenly interrupted. He was startled and turned around to see a big monk.

This monk must be from a bad family, as he was dressed like a beggar, with patches all over his body, a rag bag hanging on his waist and a water gourd hanging on the other side.

Looking at this appearance, he is obviously an ascetic monk.

The old man looked at the monk and asked, "Where are you from?"

The monk said with a smile on his face: "Haha, I am a wandering monk from Cihua Temple in Yuanzhou, Jiangxi."

"Jiangxi, monk, your journey is not short!"

The monk said, "It's OK, it's OK."

As he spoke, the monk looked at the team in front of him and said, "Old man, why are you lining up here without taking shelter from the wind and rain?"

The old man said, "Monk, you may not know this, but today is also your good fortune. The fishing gang is offering relief and rewarding you with good wine and delicious food. You, a monk, have not eaten yet, right? It's just right. Get some steamed buns and go back to fill your stomach."

The monk was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "There is such a good thing, then the monk will be lucky enough to get it."

As he spoke, the monk lined up directly behind the old man and slowly moved forward with the old man and his party. As he listened to everyone's comments on Su Yunjin, his eyes became brighter.

People lined up in five or six long queues. As one person was too slow to distribute the food, all the dishes were simply divided into five portions.

Just like this, the monk went to the front and was directly assigned to another position.

The people were holding large bowls, waiting to be given food, but at this moment they suddenly heard a terrible cry: "You are bullying the Buddha, how can this be justified, how can this be justified!"

Hearing the noise, everyone looked towards the source of the noise, and soon saw a monk in tattered clothes making a scene, pointing at the disciple of the fishing gang who was eating hair algae and cursing him. The disciple was enraged, and wanted to attack the monk with a spoon.

"You naughty monk, we gave you steamed buns and you actually scolded us, do you think our fishing gang is easy to bully?"

"That's right, are you looking for trouble? Come on, beat him out with sticks."

The old man also complained: "You monk, you are so rude. People gave you food, but you threw it away..."

The monk heard this and said, "Why do you say I am throwing a tantrum? They are the ones who are bullying me, so why don't you let me reason with them?"

Just then Xiaohu heard the noise here and walked over with a frown. He didn't expect that someone would actually dare to act wildly in his fishing gang's territory.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hu said, "Where did this monk come from? Could he be so bold as to dare to come to our fishing gang and make trouble..."

Xiaohu said this and prepared to go over and teach this crazy monk a lesson.

"Little Tiger!"

But unexpectedly Su Yunjin called Xiaohu and rushed over. Xiaohu said, "Sister-in-law, a crazy monk came to cause trouble."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Don't talk nonsense."

At this time, Su Yunjin came over and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with what we did?"

The monk looked at Su Yunjin and said, "I don't bully people like you. I feel very aggrieved!"

Su Yunjin was stunned and looked at the monk and said, "What made the master so angry? I will apologize to the master first."

After hearing this, the great monk said, "You are a reasonable person."

Su Yunjin said: "Master, they all understand the principles."

"Well, so you're saying that I don't know how to be a monk?"

After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Master, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that. Master, what's wrong with you?"

After hearing this, the monk said, "The person in front of me just now got half a roast chicken and two steamed buns, but when it came to me, there was no roast chicken left, and I was only given six steamed buns. How can this be fair?"

Su Yunjin frowned upon hearing this and said, "Master, you are a monk and cannot eat meat. They meant well and exchanged your roast chicken for steamed buns. Normally we get two steamed buns, but you got six, so they exchanged your roast chicken for four steamed buns."

"Why, monk, I want to eat meat! I don't eat steamed buns!"

The monk spoke.

After hearing this, the people around looked at the monk in surprise.

You, a monk, can eat meat? Hua, Hua monk!

Everyone looked at the monk in surprise, but he looked indifferent. The younger brother who had just distributed food felt aggrieved.

"Madam, look at him. He is a playboy. He makes trouble when he is not given meat to eat. How can he be like this?"

People around were pointing and talking, but the monk looked indifferent and turned a blind eye to these people's pointing and talking.

Hearing this, Su Yunjin looked at the monk and frowned, but the monk was looking at the people around him with a smile.

His smile immediately confused the people around him.

At this time, the monk looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Miss, do you also think I shouldn't eat meat?"

Su Yunjin said: "Master, the eight precepts of Buddhism are: killing, stealing, adultery, lying, drinking, wearing incense and flowers, sleeping on a big bed, and eating at inappropriate times."

"Since you are a Buddhist, you should abide by these eight precepts."

After hearing this, the monk laughed and said, "Hahahaha...Under Bajie, you can only cultivate stupid monks, not real monks."

"What do you think is a true monk?"

Su Yunjin looked at the monk curiously, and the monk said, "Buddha said: equality."

Su Yunjin frowned, and the monk said, "Just like this steamed bun and roasted chicken, they can all eat steamed buns and roasted chicken, so I, a monk, can also eat steamed buns and roasted chicken. I am neither higher nor lower than them."

"Just like you, girl. You are the giver here, so you think you are superior and look down on them?"

Su Yunjin was stunned, and shook his head gently, "I also came from a poor family, and was even worse than them back then. How could I look down on them?"

The monk nodded when he heard this, and looking at Su Yunjin's sincere eyes, he said: "Good, very kind, hahahaha... Miss, you have a heart of a bodhisattva. If you are dedicated to doing good and keep your original heart, you will gain something in the end."

The monk said, clasping his hands together and saying, "Amitabha."

After saying this, the monk turned around and walked away. In the blink of an eye, he walked more than ten steps. Su Yunjin then reacted and shouted, "Master!"

The monk turned around.

Su Yunjin said: "Master, your roast chicken."

Su Yunjin took half a roast chicken and caught up with the monk. The monk was stunned and smiled, "Good, good."

He reached out and snatched the roast chicken, then turned around and was about to leave, but Su Yunjin said, "Master, you seem to have forgotten something."

The monk was stunned and looked at Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin laughed and said, "Master, you just said that all beings are equal. Since we are equal, it stands to reason that each person only has two steamed buns and half a roast chicken. You should return the extra steamed buns to us."

"Ok?"

"You, you want me to return the buns?"

The monk looked at Su Yunjin in surprise.

"Master, all beings are equal. Since they are equal, Master should return them."

The monk laughed when he heard this: "Hahahaha... As it should be, as it should be. Young lady, you have a strong Buddhist nature. I will return the bun to you."

The monk thought about it, then reached into his pocket and took out a yellowish-brown bracelet and said, "Here, I'll give you this one, too."

Su Yunjin was stunned, looking at the bracelet in his hand, he said: "Master."

The monk smiled and said, "All living things come together, and all living things rejoice. You and I are destined to be together. I give you this bracelet. It may be useful to you when you encounter danger in the future."

Su Yunjin took the khaki bracelet and felt its warmth, which gave her a sense of security.

Su Yunjin knew that this was not an ordinary item, but when he looked up, the monk had disappeared, and there were four steamed buns in front of him.

"Master, master?"

Su Yunjin looked everywhere for the monk, but there was no trace of him.

Xiao Hu came over and asked, "Where did this crazy monk come from?"

After hearing this, Su Yunjin looked at Xiaohu and said, "This is not a crazy monk."

"This flower monk is crazy and wants meat to eat. It's obvious that he is causing trouble."

Xiaohu spoke, and Su Yunjin looked at Xiaohu and for some reason thought of a word: not understanding the Buddha nature.

There is a type of people in this world who do not understand the Buddhist nature and have no feeling for Buddha at all, but Su Yunjin knew that this monk was definitely not ordinary.

Su Yunjin thought for a moment and said to Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, take this string of Buddhist beads to your husband and tell him that you met a strange monk today. I suspect that this person is proficient in Hinayana Buddhism and is a great master."

After hearing this, Xiaohu was stunned, and then said: "Yes, sister-in-law, I will send someone to inform Brother Jiusi now."

After Xiaohu finished speaking, he immediately sent someone with the Buddhist beads back to report to Chen Jie.

At this time, Chen Jie had three uninvited guests in the fishing gang.

"You three, please take a seat."

Chen Jie poured three cups of tea for the three people in front of him. These three people were not ordinary people either. They were Zoroastrians.

Leading the group was Han He, the local head of Zoroastrianism, and following him was Han Lian, who had not been seen for a long time.

And today they also brought a person with them, a person with a sinister face and a look of arrogance.

This person is the deputy head of the Zoroastrianism's Huangzhou Prefecture, a master of the Qixue Baodan realm, named Yumeizi.

She should be over 40 years old, and used to be a maid serving Han Miaozhen, the Phoenix, one of the four great Dharma Kings of Zoroastrianism.

Later, when Han Miaozhen was sent away, she became the deputy leader of the Zoroastrianism in Huangzhou Prefecture.

Because of following Han Miaozhen, he became arrogant and had a perverse personality...

Yu Meizi looked at the tea in front of her, raised her head and said defiantly: "You are the Chen Jiusi that He'er recommended to me again and again!"

Chen Jie was stunned and looked at Han He, who smiled without saying anything.

But unexpectedly, Yu Meizi said: "But today I see that you are just like this. It is not easy for a Hua Jin to join our Fire Worship Sect. You must work hard to contribute to the Holy Church."

Chen Jie was stunned and looked at Han He.

Han He was also stunned and looked at Yu Meizi: "Uncle Master."

"Do not talk."

Yu Meizi glared at Han He, and Han He frowned. What the hell was this crappy uncle saying? It was as if Chen Jiusi was trying to join his Zoroastrianism.

Seeing Han He like this, Chen Jie understood that this must be the deputy hall master's own idea.

Chen Jie squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Meizi and said, "Oh, then I wonder what kind of contribution Senior Yu Meizi needs me to make?"

After hearing this, Yu Meizi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I heard that you have a good relationship with the princess of the dog court, and you also want to enter the Medicine King's treasure."

Chen Jie said: "Nothing can be hidden from you, senior."

"That's great. In that case, I will give you a task. There is a dangerous place in the Medicine King's treasure. Even those at the Baodan realm will be in great danger if they enter. If you help the Holy Church lead the princess here and kill her, I will accept you into my Holy Church and give you the position of Dharma Protector. How about that?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie thought to himself, this crappy deputy hall master really thinks I’m an idiot.

Kill the princess and give me a protector?
Are you crazy or am I crazy? Even if you give me the title of hall master, you can't do it. Chen Jie doesn't understand what's going on in this idiot's brain circuit. Or does he think he is so gullible that he would agree with her stupid idea, and for a crappy guardian position?
Chen Jie Gu said in embarrassment: "Ah, this is not easy to do. If I really kill the princess, my foundation in Mianshui County will probably be destroyed!"

Yu Meizi chuckled and said, "Haha, what foundation do you have in Mianshui County? You are just a small gang. If you join my Zoroastrianism, you will be a founding hero of the new dynasty in the future. You may even be granted a title of nobility or a general. It's better than staying in this small county."

Chen Jie said: "Then my wife, relatives, and brothers will also be blamed, and their lives may even be in danger."

Yu Meizi said, "When you are doing big things, wives and concubines are just a burden, so why not give them up? When you are successful in the future, you can choose any woman you want."

After hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Chen Jie's eyes.

But Yu Meizi said, "Boy, let me tell you, we in the Holy Church don't keep idle people. This is probably your only chance to join the Holy Church. You must seize the opportunity. How about you agree to my conditions or not!"
