Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 471
[Chapter 471 Pills]
After verifying his identity, Mabonde county magistrate also breathed a sigh of relief, and said some polite words like thanking Siemens for his righteous action and maintaining local law and order.
Although there are no express laws and regulations, Buddhists and Daoists do enjoy privileges in this world.
Not only can they own a large area of land and pay very little tax, they
can also not worship or kneel when they see an official.
Even if it involves a criminal case, they will not be tried by the government, but will be handed over to a high-level department specializing in the management of Zen people.
Of course, the premise of all of this is that monks and Taoists have to have official certificates, which are only provided in rare numbers to the direct disciples of famous sects.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Ma Bond treated Li Ang with courtesy.
After a while, the yamen who went to the inn to check the situation returned to the county government office, and explained to Ma Bond that there was no problem.
Ma county magistrate also went through the process of closing the case and asked the innkeeper and others to go back first. Only Li Ang was kindly invited to stay and have a talk in the mansion. .
In the county magistrate’s mansion, Li Ang, who was wearing a black cloak, sat opposite the magistrate, and there were some warm wine and vegetables brought by the servants on the table.
Li Ang took a sip of tea and said to Ma Bonde with a smile: “The magistrate Ma invited me to come, but he wants to discuss Taoism?
Pindao heard from the people in the city that the county magistrate has a lot of research on Taoist medicine, order, divination, and thaumaturgy. , no less than an ordinary Taoist.”
“Cough,”
Ma Bond was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, took a sip from the wine glass, and covered up his embarrassment.
Listening to the previous innkeeper’s statement, this Ma Bang Dema county magistrate is a county magistrate in Goose City. I have been working for more than ten years. When
I first started, I was still diligent and conscientious. When it comes
to all matters in the county, I will do everything myself, handle backlogs, eliminate malpractices, punish traitors, and the
folk reputation is very good. I am sure I will be promoted and developed soon. .
But the good times didn’t last long. Ma County magistrate’s hard-working style lasted for less than a year, and he immediately degenerated into a hands-off shopkeeper. He didn’t go to
the county to inquire about matters. Dharma and Taoism, be a clay Buddha who eats vegetarian meals on a corpse.
Because of this, he will be stuck in the position of county magistrate again, and he has not been promoted and made a fortune for more than ten years.
“The Taoist is joking. The Taoist method is mysterious, and what I have studied is just a little bit of fur.”
Ma Bond put down the glass and said curiously: “Just now, according to what the innkeeper said, the Taoist used the talisman to drive away the gods. Fa, come to subdue those murderers?”
“Exactly.”
Li Ang smiled slightly, reached out and dipped a little in the teacup, and waved it in the air at will,
and the tea that was thrown out immediately turned into eight people who were being brutally punished. Blurred silhouettes.
“These are the gangsters who did evil.”
Li Ang waved his hand again, and the image instantly disappeared, leaving only the screams echoing in the room.
Ma County Magistrate did not know that this image was actually an illusion created by Li Ang,
and the miserable scream was a wonderful interpretation of Miss Chai hiding in the beam of the house.
Ma County Magistrate immediately swallowed his saliva, and his eyes contained the same expression. Fear, and a touch of excitement.
Goose City is a real backcountry. During the years he was the county magistrate, he did meet some monks and Taoists.
Every time he met, Ma Bangde would always invite them to his residence to talk about Taoism.
It’s a pity that those monks either only practice the precepts and clear rules, and have no mana at all,
or they are simply swashbuckling and deceitful people, not as good as Ma Bangde himself.
Today can be regarded as seeing a truly powerful man, there is no reason to miss it.
Ma Bangde no longer hesitated, stood up from his chair, bowed deeply, “Daoist, save me!”
Li Ang turned sideways to avoid the bow, and supported Ma Bonde, “Why is this magistrate?”
“Daoist I don’t know anything!”
Ma Bond stood up and sighed with mixed feelings, “I have an incurable disease.”
“Oh?”
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, “The county magistrate is ill, and he should also seek medical advice. Medicine, the poor Daoist only knows thaumaturgy, not the magic of medicine.”
Ma Bangde said with a wry smile: “The disease I suffer from is really not something that ordinary medicine can cure, so I can only turn to the mysteries of Taoism.”
Li Ang pondered . , “Could it be… infertility?”
“No, no!”
Ma Bond waved his hand hurriedly, “I have a son and a daughter, so there is no problem in this regard.”
“Is that?”
“Dream.”
Ma County Magistrate He said gloomily : “Strange dream.”
Ma Bangde sat down slowly and said in a low voice, “Thirty years ago, there was a severe drought in the world, and the area around Luzhou was particularly affected
. Ploughing the mountains.
In order to survive, eat bark, eat wild vegetables, eat Guanyin soil, and even… Yizi eats each other.”
Speaking of this, Ma Bond couldn’t help trembling all over, and after a while, he continued, “In the next year, I was only an eight-year-old child, and
my parents died of illness and starvation. Before I left, I only left a letter from home and a few coins for me to take with me and go to my relatives.
At that time, I was among the refugees. The strong people among the refugees began to take the lead in feeding the sick and starving people.
Fearful, they found an opportunity to escape from the group and fled all the way to the mountain.
In the cold night and the barren mountains, the wind and the rain, I hid in the tree hole and hugged the family letter given by my parents. Ma Bond
drank the wine in one go, his face turned reddish, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and smiled bitterly, “Under the torment of sleepiness and hunger, I fell asleep.
In a dream, I climbed a high mountain and saw In a pavilion, I met an old man.
Li Ang frowned and asked, “What does the old Taoist look like? ” ”
“I can’t remember.” Ma Bond shook his head, ”
That old man is immortal, with a kind face and good eyes, and he has a childlike face, just like the legendary fairy godmother.
He said that seeing my misery and misfortune, he had a heart of pity, so he gave me a pill that could help me survive the famine.
This pill can neither fill my stomach, let me eat weeds without gnawing bark,
nor let me fly up, so I can drink dew.
But there is one thing,
this medicine, can give me the courage to live. ”
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, “Courage? ”
“Exactly.
Ma Bond sighed, “According to what he said, after taking this pill, I will have a second life .
The more miserable and miserable I lived during the day
, the more happy and rich I lived in my dreams at night. ”
Li Ang asked: “Have you eaten?” ”
“Of course I ate it.” ”
Ma Bond said in a low voice, “There is no way out, I can’t beg for death, how can I care so much,
not to mention it’s just a dream.”
Li Ang shook his head, “Looking at the county magistrate’s expression, it’s probably not just a dream . ”
Ma Bond nodded silently, picked up the whole ceramic jug, and poured all the drinks.
