Chapter 18. The Book of Rites

Teacher Xiao Zhang is still savoring the flavor of fried pepper sprouts.

Mrs. Zhang didn't notice her husband's expression. She supported her chin with her hand and analyzed, "If they are all so delicious, then his family must be growing premium vegetables. I wonder if they have other varieties and whether they are expensive."

"What is a gourmet dish?" Teacher Zhang asked curiously.

"I also heard about it from Teacher Qu. She planned to buy some for Xinxin. It is said that it tastes very good and has high nutritional value, but it is very expensive and is only sold in boutique supermarkets in big cities." Mrs. Zhang was not too sure either. She also heard it while chatting in the office.

"How expensive is it? Is it like the organic cauliflower we bought?"

"It's much more expensive than those. One type of imported cucumber is said to be grown with volcanic mud, and 400 grams costs 39 yuan."

"Wow." Teacher Zhang was shocked by the price and said he couldn't understand it at all.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her husband and added, "This may not be true. Teacher Qu said that if you encounter the real thing, you may not be able to get two 39 yuan tickets."

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but recall the taste of water chestnuts. "If it's this kind, 39 yuan is not a bad price."

"Okay, I'll go find him tomorrow and buy some at least." Teacher Zhang made up his mind.

Mrs. Zhang immediately slapped him hard and said, "You are crazy. Come on, talk about it. Who can afford such expensive food?"

Teacher Zhang turned around and looked at his wife seriously. "It's okay. My income is okay, and our expenses are low. It's okay to have some food. Besides, we have been married for such a long time, and now we are stable. Take good care of your health. I also plan to have a child..."

"Ah!" Mrs. Zhang's face turned red and she interrupted her husband's next words with a slap.

After a while, he said, "Just ask if you meet him."

……

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Teacher Zhang searched for several days but couldn't find Luo Yihang.

It is inevitable that you won’t find it.

Because Luo Yihang changed his place.

Business has been booming since the first day of setting up the stall. Luo Yihang sold 180 servings of fried pepper sprouts in more than two hours, with a revenue of 1800 yuan.

That night, Luo Yihang discovered that the speed at which his spiritual energy recovered had increased a little bit. Although he had been away from the spirit gathering array for longer periods of time, the speed had actually increased.

Although it is not obvious, it does exist, because the spiritual energy gathered by the seven spirit gathering arrays near the house has also decreased significantly.

was consumed.

This is a very strange thing. The spirit gathering array has not increased and the concentration of spiritual energy nearby has not changed, so this change can only be caused by something happening to Luo Yihang himself.

The only special thing about that day was that there was a stall selling fried pepper sprouts.

Excluding the impossible, the only possibility surrounding this incident is that those 180 servings of fried pepper sprouts brought satisfaction, or happiness, to more than 100 people?

Satisfaction of appetite? Delicious pleasure?
Could it be that the Book of Rites also works on Earth?
A great gift pack for novices in the world of immortal cultivation, including the five major spells: the body cleansing spell, the cleaning spell, the spirit gathering array, the machine pulling spell, and the ritual scripture.

Among them, the Li Dao Jing, when taught by the master, said that this art follows the way of Heaven and helps the common people. Disciples who practice Taoism should not let small kindnesses go unrewarded. When walking in the world, they should help the poor and the needy, and then the blessings will last long.

The general meaning is that if you help others more, God will respond and bestow blessings upon you.

He also gave examples of certain people in ancient times who specialized in studying rituals and Taoist scriptures, bestowed blessings on the human world, and within just a few hundred years, they ascended to the immortal world with a golden elixir body and were named true gods.

Not everyone can cultivate immortality in the world. There are also ordinary people living there, but they are relatively few.

Anyway, it was the ancient times of the world of immortal cultivation. There were legends and myths about this place. Who knew whether they were true or not? After class, Luo Yihang chatted with his classmates. According to the disciples who came from immortal cultivation families, the Li Dao Sutra was of little use because it was too inefficient. It would be much more effective to help others and circulate it for two more weeks.

Unless you have reached a very advanced level and reached a bottleneck, you will do it as the opportunity arises. It is better than nothing.

However, this ritual scripture was very simple to practice, and with Luo Yihang's aptitude, he learned it in no time.

After finishing the practice, Luo Yihang concluded based on his own experience and the content of his classmates' chats that this Li Dao Jing probably helped others, p.s., only for mortals. After receiving other people's gratitude, happiness, touching, willingness to repay and a series of positive mental states for the practitioner himself, the way of heaven will respond and bestow blessings.

Receiving this blessing means practicing the Li Dao Sutra.

It’s a bit confusing, but if you replace induction with merit, it becomes easier to understand.

But eating good food can also be considered a merit? Luo Yihang couldn't understand it.

There is another thing. When I was in the world of cultivating immortals, I practiced the Li Dao Sutra, but I didn’t know what use it was.

He was a low-level disciple who had never left the mountain gate. How could he have the chance to see a mortal, let alone help one? He was not qualified.

Anyway, when he was in the world of immortal cultivation, Luo Yihang felt that this so-called novice gift package was equivalent to the behavioral norms of primary school students in the world of immortal cultivation. It used a few spells to regulate the immortal cultivation disciples to maintain personal hygiene, keep the environment clean, practice hard, avoid danger and do more good deeds.

The main features are simple, convenient, important and not very useful.

But now we are on Earth, the Purification Spell and Cleansing Spell, two spells that require the induction of external spiritual energy and are trouble-free and worry-free, cannot be used because the concentration of spirits is too low. Besides, the Traction Spell is really of no use.

The Spirit Gathering Array is extremely powerful and is the foundation for Luo Yihang's renewed cultivation.

Now it seems that the Li Dao Jing is also useful, and can help to increase the speed of practice.

This must be studied carefully.

So before setting up his stall the next day, Luo Yihang took out the jade slip from the drawer and carefully reviewed the general outline of the Li Dao Sutra and practiced it again.

Then when I set up the stall in the afternoon, I deliberately moved the stall to a new location so that everyone could enjoy the benefits. This way, I wouldn’t have the same group of people coming to buy all the time, which would reduce their positive emotions.

On the third day, we changed the location again.

It was not until the fourth day that Luo Yihang finally confirmed that the Book of Rites was useful.

Is it true that the laws of nature on earth are so generous that eating good food is really considered a merit?
It's just that the Li Dao Jing cannot directly bring about an improvement in your skills. The so-called blessing from heaven feels like adding a bufff, similar to the double experience cards and triple experience cards in online games.

However, the effect is much worse. The blessings accumulated by Luo Yihang during a day of setting up a stall are generally increased by 2%-5%. It is also time-sensitive and the time is very short, starting at midnight, which is 11 o'clock in the evening, and ending before the second half of the night.

It doesn't matter if the effect is poor, but this is on Earth. In the world of immortal cultivation, even if you don't do anything, it takes less than a minute to fill a basket. But on Earth, you need one or two months of hard practice.

In this situation, efficiency doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter whether it’s efficient or not, as long as it exists.

From then on, Luo Yihang became a complete "mobile vendor", riding his tricycle everywhere. He would stop to set up a stall when he saw interesting places, and by the way, reminisce about the city area which he had not properly visited for three or four years.

The last time I went shopping was when I was in college. During the summer vacation of my junior year, Ding Rui and Luo Yihang came back. The two of them had nothing to do so they just wandered around.

After I graduated, I only came back during the holidays. Every time I came back, I was busy with parties and visiting relatives, and I had less and less time for myself.

By the way, during this period Luo Yihang was also randomly inspected by the food supervision department. Of course, there was no problem with the inspection. After the inspection, he was invited to set up a stall in the government affairs hall for a day, which was very impressive.

As a result, Teacher Zhang had a hard time and spent several days searching in vain.

　I just saw that "Shenhua Big Boss" gave me another 9 recommendation votes, thank you, thank you!
