Chapter 30 The Unique Ability of Donkeys

After the work was done and his hands were cleaned, Zhang Daguan, accompanied by Fu Gujing, received a brass key and went to the hut assigned to him.

The room faces south, bright and quiet, with desks, four treasures of the study, cabinets, coffee tables and chairs.

Next door is the public house of Fu Gujing and Yun Qiuhe, with similar layout with minor differences.

Wu Ganping has a lot of things to do, and with the portrait in hand, he instructed his subordinates to arrange affairs and keep busy.

Like yesterday's big operation, he temporarily borrowed some good people from the county government and the city guards. Today, he has to come to the door with rich loot to pay him face-to-face. There are still many places to borrow in the future. Branch power.

Yun Qiuhe grabbed the draft portrait, took the remaining willow branches and charcoal, and hid back in the room to study it behind closed doors.

If you get something out of meditation, leave with your hands behind your back.

"Brother Zhang, look at what else is missing? If the coffee table is not suitable, let them replace it. It is inconvenient for you to tell me, and I will arrange it."

"Thank you Brother Fu for your kindness, it's very good, there is no need to replace and add."

"That's it, I'll take you to Lao Jin in the accountant. Next time, there will be rewards to receive, and I know the place."

"According to Brother Fu's auspicious words, I hope we can go to the cashier several times a month to collect rewards."

"Haha, I love hearing what you say."

While joking, Fu Gujing took Zhang Wenfeng to the innermost accounting room. It was a large room divided into two halves. There were a few seats outside, a half-person-high brown wood counter, and three lamps hanging above the beams. oil lamp.

Behind the counter sat an old man with a goatee in a gray sermon robe, holding a brush and writing something.

Seeing someone come in, the old man rolled his eyes and glanced, the whites of his eyes were a little too much, and he seemed a little rigid and inhumane. Seeing that it was Fu Gujing, the old man changed his smile and put down his brush to say hello, "Mr. Fu, you are here."

"Master Jin, this is Zhang Guanzhu, the new law enforcement guard of our branch, please get to know him."

"Zhang Guanzhu is young and promising, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Where is it, Master Jin is well."

After the two exchanged a few simple greetings, Fu Gujing took out the owner's note, put it on the counter and pushed it in front of Master Jin.

Master Jin pinched the corner of the note and carefully looked at the contents on it, especially the signature and stamp. After checking that it was correct, he put the note in a drawer under the counter, took out a booklet, opened it to the latest page, and used a small cone. The brush slightly flattened the ink on the edge of the flat inkstone and wrote a line of small characters.

He pushed the account book upside down to Zhang Wenfeng, handed him a writing brush, and asked him to sign and put a handprint on the back.

Zhang Wenfeng scanned the line of numbers marked "Silver 13 taels and eight coins", and thought to himself that he blocked the thin old thief's move, wounded and killed two ordinary thieves, and the spoils were too generous. The brush in his hand Don't hesitate to sign down.

Fu Gujing explained via voice transmission: "Count the trophies you got from killing the thieves in front of you."

Zhang Wenfeng understood. The female thief he killed had a lot of various items on his body, as well as silver coins and broken silver. At that time, he was white and did not dare to take the evidence privately, because he was worried that he would give the impression of greed. Helping him count as a trophy is to sell other people's favor, not to do anything.

He received a silver note of [-] taels, the most rigid "official ticket" of the household system, one ingot, three taels of silver, and two pieces of silver, which Master Jin thoughtfully packed in a brocade purse.

Zhang Wenfeng squeezed the thin string of the purse into his arms, his face was calm and indifferent, and he did not change at all because he received a huge sum of money all at once. He said goodbye to Master Jin, and accompanied by Fu Gujing, Come to the "Library Room" of Daolu Branch.

Show your token and walk into the library full of bookshelves, and listen to Fu Gujing's introduction. The two outside rooms are open to everyone in the Daolu branch, and the inside one needs to reach the level of energy transformation to be allowed to enter.

Zhang Wenfeng wandered around the two rooms outside, inquired roughly about the classification of each shelf of books, then showed the token and walked into the room inside, flipping through the books for more than half an hour.

It was almost noon, and Fu Gujing, who was found, was called out of the gate of Daolu Branch.

When they came to the nearby "Zhiwei Building", Fu Gujing said that he would entertain the overwhelmed Dean Wu, and ordered a table of food and wine. Zhang Wenfeng refused to drink more after three cups with him. He ate vegetables and drank tea.

Fu Gujing didn't persuade much, some Taoist monks stick to certain ancient rules.

He is not very particular, but he can't force others to break the precepts, so he keeps pouring himself a cup.

Fu Gujing is a scene person, chatting and laughing during the banquet, but she will not be cold.

After the meal, Zhang Wenfeng bid farewell, parted ways with Fu Gujing, put on a bamboo hat, and walked on the bustling main street.

He felt it carefully, and the influence of transcendence was indeed much lessened compared to the last time.

In the marketplace, he is no longer faintly bored and out of place.

After visiting a few ready-made clothing shops, he found an extra blue cloth package on his back. He bought two sets of evenly dyed delicate green cloth priest robes, two pairs of cloud-toed shoes, cloud socks, and two sets of white cloth jackets and obscene trousers. It cost more than six dollars in total.

Back at Xianling Temple, it was five quarters of the last time, and the dry land on the low mountain had been ploughed and leveled.

The donkey was standing dumbfounded in the shade of the trees on the top of the mountain. When he saw him coming back, he leaned over to show his white teeth and whimpered.

"It's really not the work of the donkey, and the neck is about to be broken. Isn't there a saying that 'the child is the donkey to plow the land, and the hen's crowing is unlucky', Guanzhu, you are so kind and compassionate, hurry up and buy a cow back, right?"

Its dignified demon donkey's identity was exposed, and it was still spinning around in the fields, so it was shameless.

Come on, this guy even made him a lame and wrong folk proverb.

Zhang Wenfeng almost laughed angrily, gave it a slap on the hip, and scolded it with sound transmission:
"You lazy person is hypocritical, can you be exhausted to death? Tell yourself, what else can you do other than housekeeping and nursing homes? Our Taoist Temple never raises waste and idlers, even my master. to work on the ground."

The black donkey groaned for a while before choking out a sentence: "I can find a particularly delicious source of water."

"Oh, a particularly delicious water source?"

Zhang Wenfeng didn't figure out what the standard of the donkey's mouth was particularly delicious. Is it sweet and sweet?Or does it have a grassy aroma and heavy taste?Ask: "Like what?"

"If you put things down and walk with me, you will know. I can't tell you. Anyway, the water is delicious. After drinking it, you will be full of energy, transparent, and it will eliminate fatigue."

In order to be free, the black donkey also worked hard, revealing the little secret that he had just discovered.

Zhang Wenfeng was a little surprised, what kind of water can make the whole body feel good and relieve fatigue?
He was interested and said, "Okay, I'll put down the package and go with you."

Looking at the donkey's expression, it doesn't seem like he is talking nonsense about him.

He pondered in his heart, wouldn't it be because of luck that he met the spiritual spring water that randomly appeared every time the tide of spiritual energy rose?
He said hello to the second senior brother who came out from the main hall to check, said a few words, and asked the second senior brother to go to clean up and meditate by himself. He put his belongings back in the hut, and followed the black donkey down the mountain.

The black donkey walked along the creek at the foot of the mountain all the way upstream to the northwest. When it came to the turn of the mountain, it pointed to a puddle of about five feet with its mouth, and said, "The water here is better to drink. I used to finish my work and often Drink the water here."

Zhang Wenfeng looked at the bottom-clear puddle covered with various pebbles. It was running water. He squatted down to wash his hands first, then took a handful of cool stream water, tasted it, and tasted it carefully for a while. He didn't feel much. different.

The black donkey observed the words and expressions and knew that the watcher was not satisfied, and said, "The water in front is better."

He took the lead in trotting forward on the stream, twisted and turned, and arrived at the north side of a nearby hill, pointing to a large water pool Zhangxu under the yellowish-yellow rock, and said: "The water here is the best, and it doesn't taste like this in the front."

It raised its head, indicating that the upstream stream flowing through the pond was bad.

"Oh?"

Zhang Wenfeng was dubious, felt it carefully for a moment, and found that the air here was slightly different.

Slowly exhale and exhale, and run the exercises to promote Yuan Qi. After three weeks of practice, he found through comparison that the aura here is more active and abundant than that on the top of the mountain.

Compared with other places, the nearby vegetation is more green, with less yellow leaves and more green leaves, and the autumn color has not been seen for a long time.

The donkey is very capable, and he really found a good place.
