Money was a good thing.
Money can make the devil turn the millstone. This was a saying that countless predecessors had concluded after having their own experiences. No money, no way.
Just like the Taoist priests in the Temple of Longevity, there were five of them in total. Even though they had finished their lunch, they still surrounded the square table for a long time, unwilling to leave. It was as if they were smelling the fragrance of the food to fill their stomachs that were not completely filled.
The unbearable feeling of being hungry was something that could not be relieved even if he kept chanting in his heart,"The source of the Dao is heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are nothingness. There is nothing in the stomach. The Dao must be complete."
Gulp...
At this moment, someone's stomach let out a long cry of dissatisfaction, causing the others 'stomachs to twitch.
Hearing this, Qin Shangyu sighed silently and pushed his white hair behind him. He looked up at Lin Wanwan, who was blushing, and pinched her small face that had lost a lot of weight from hunger. He said in shame,""Master, you've suffered."
"No, no, no!"
Seeing that her master was actually taking all the responsibility on her, Lin Wanwan quickly waved her small hands and widened her round eyes. She pouted and said,"It's not Master's fault! I'm already very happy to be able to eat!”
"Sigh…"
Even a peaceful person like Qin Shangyu couldn't help but sigh after hearing Lin Wanwan's words. His heart was sour.
That was what he said, but no one visited the Taoist temple. As the Abbey Dean, he was more or less responsible.
The biggest reason was that the temple was too old…
Qin Shangyu looked up at the roof that had been weathered for a long time and had begun to leak rain. Once again, he deeply experienced the horror of not having money.
Seeing Qin Shangyu's worried face, Wu Pengyun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said with determination,""Senior Brother, why don't we…go to the nearby market and set up a stall?”
"Set up a stall?" Qin Shangyu frowned and asked with dissatisfaction,""Fortune telling?"
"Yeah, we can only rely on this ability to make a living…" Tang Lin nodded helplessly.
"It's inappropriate." Qin Shangyu shook his head without thinking and advised Wu Pengyun and Tang Lin,"If we casually use our true abilities to tell fortunes, it will have a huge impact on our own bodies. If he lied with nonsense, his conscience would be uneasy and he would be punished by heaven.”
Although Qin Shangyu was only a half-way Taoist priest, it did not mean that he was willing to be a swindler Taoist priest and earn money.
"Then what should we do?" Martial Nephew Du Xiaofeng shook his head and looked at Qin Shangyu with a bitter face.
He had not eaten his fill for two to three days in a row, and he no longer had the energy to clean up. If she didn't eat, she probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed!
" This..." Qin Shangyu stared at the square table in front of him for a moment. His left eyelid twitched as a good idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Since he wanted the soldiers of the two nearby military regions to become his believers, why not think of a way to get some incense from them first? At most…if they encountered any problems in the future, he would help them out as compensation!
Moreover, he had just helped them get rid of two drug lords. He should get some compensation, right?
He wasn't asking for big money, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to have some incense offerings, right?
It was not that he was rich, but the Daoist temple was really short of money at the moment. He had to think about his junior brothers and sisters.
In this way, he could use the incense money to develop the Taoist temple without making his conscience uneasy.
It was a good idea!
However, this kind of thing could only be mentioned when the female soldiers visited the Taoist temple again. As the leader of the temple, he could not take the initiative to go to the Blade Military Region and say to the female soldiers,"Become my believer and give me some incense money.”
Qin Shangyu could not say such words.
Then, how should he get incense from the special forces?
Or rather, how could he develop orthodoxy and gain faith from the special forces?
……
Qin Shangyu pondered for a moment. Just as he thought of a solution, he frowned.
He didn't know when the female soldiers would come to visit. During this period, how was he going to solve the problem of eating?
Looking at the bitter faces in front of him, Qin Shangyu sat in his seat and pondered. He always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
A wonderful scene suddenly appeared in the Taoist temple.
Qin Shangyu frowned and stared at the square table. Lin Wanwan and the others stared at Qin Shangyu in confusion.
It was the first time they had seen Qin Shangyu with such a heavy expression!
"Mas…Master?"
Lin Wanwan opened her eyes wide and spoke carefully. Just as she called out, she saw Qin Shangyu's expression light up and his face immediately lit up.
No one knew what Qin Shangyu was thinking, but from his expression, they could see that he was in a good mood.
She was clearly about to lose her appetite, so how could she still be happy…
Everyone looked at Qin Shangyu in confusion. Just as they were about to ask what was wrong, Qin Shangyu smiled gently and said,""I've already thought of a way to solve the problem of food.”
"Do you have a solution?" Everyone was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.
Lin Wanwan hugged Qin Shangyu excitedly and rubbed her soft little face in front of him. She asked excitedly,""Master, what is it?"
"Five Grains Technique." Qin Shangyu narrowed his eyes and answered with a smile.
This Five Grains Technique was also a gift given to him by the Dao Sect system when it descended on him. Just like the Lightning Palm, it could only be used once.
At that time, he had received three rewards from the system, which was three spells.
They were the Lightning Palm, the Five Grains Technique, and the Law of Words.
Because Qin Shangyu had never thought of completing the system's mission before, he had put the spells given by the system aside and almost never looked at them.
If he hadn't been forced by the problem of eating, he really wouldn't have thought of the Five Grains Technique.
With this Five Grains Technique, not only could the problem of food be solved, but the special forces 'incense offerings should also be solved. It was even enough to make the special forces marvel at the Temple of Longevity and be amazed and curious!
……
While Qin Shangyu was thinking about how to use the Five Grains Technique, Du Xiaofeng moved his butt closer to him and asked curiously,""Martial Uncle, you know the Five Grains Technique? Only immortals can do this, right?"
The Five Grains Technique was the same as the Thunder Palm. They were both Taoist secret techniques, but they were both legends and fabricated. They definitely did not exist in reality.
"I'll tell you all about this in the future."
Qin Shangyu didn't answer Du Xiaofeng's question directly. He thought of the vegetable garden behind the Taoist temple where food and vegetables were planted. He lifted his Taoist robe and stood up. He looked at the sunny sky outside and slowly walked out of the Taoist temple.
Seeing this, the others were stunned. They quickly followed him out of the temple.
……
Everyone walked to the back of the Taoist temple together. Qin Shangyu stared at the large vegetable garden in front of him for a while with a helpless expression.
No wonder they couldn't eat. The crops and vegetables in the vegetable garden were not fertilized, so they grew unevenly. There were not many leaves on a seedling.
However, they couldn't be blamed for not giving them enough strength.
The land behind the Taoist temple lacked nutrients. It could not be considered a wasteland, but it was not a good crop land either. It was not a suitable place for a vegetable garden. Apart from that, the continuous rain during this period of time was also a big problem.
Although Wu Pengyun and Du Xiaofeng had built a shed above the vegetable garden, they couldn't stop the torrential rain. As time passed, puddles of various sizes began to appear in the vegetable field.
The accumulation of acid in the soil would cause many vegetables to fail to grow normally.
Apart from that, the naturally growing fruit trees in the surroundings had also begun to wither recently. Most of the time, the fruits they bore were sour and astringent.
Hopefully, the Five Grains Technique could change this situation…
Qin Shangyu muttered in his heart and ordered the others to take a few steps back. Then, he slowly walked toward the center of the vegetable garden.
The effective range of the Five Grains Technique was a few thousand square meters. Since he had decided to use the Five Grains Technique for the only time, he must not let it go to waste.
From today onwards, there would be updates every morning, noon, and afternoon. After that, it depends on the situation. Thank you for your support.
