The old five hands were heavy, and after two sticks, the middle-aged man did not move.
"I really didn't get beaten, I fainted."
Lao Wu probed his hand and tested the middle-aged man's snort.
"Let's go."
Mo Wen turned around and walked forward.
"Master, it may be his wife who poisoned his father, do you want to go back and beat his wife a few sticks" Lao Wu quickly followed.
"In the Great Jin Dynasty, the crime is not as good as the woman, and the woman makes a mistake just because the man is not strict in discipline, and if she wants to beat the head of the family, she should also beat the head of the family."
Mo Wen said casually.
When the fifth child heard this, he immediately turned around and went back, and slapped at the middle-aged man who had just woken up, "You can't even control a wife." ” When he was moving forward, Mo Wen didn't speak again, he was not in a good mood, although he could increase his knowledge by traveling around, but he also saw a lot of all kinds of ugliness in the world, and it was hard for him to imagine that there were still father-killers in this world.
"Master, was I too heavy last night" Seeing Mo Wen's face gloomy, he thought he was worried about offending the monk last night.
"If you can't stop them without force, you don't need to worry about it."
Mo Wen shook his head and asked, "Why do you hate monks so much?"
"You're a Taoist, I definitely don't like monks."
The fifth man opened his mouth and came.
"That's why you're so blind," Mo Wen couldn't laugh when he heard this.
"Yes, I don't care if they raise their parents or not, to be honest, it's better if they don't please their wives, if half of the men in the world become monks, then the rest of the women will be cheaper for us."
Lao Wu said seriously.
"You only know that there are bhikshus, but you don't know that there are bhikshunis," Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Yes, don't you say that I forgot, if all the women go to become nuns, then we will be unlucky, so I hate them even more."
The fifth laughed.
Mo Wen shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and stopped talking to him.
Because of the offense of the monks here, caused trouble, the two did not rest from the city again, but all the way east, the location and distance of the county seat is not fixed, after two days did not see the city again, the third day early in the morning to see the village, there is a wind of silkworm raising, a group of women from the village outside the river Huansha pure silk.
It was rare to see a clean river, so the fifth child took the clothes they had changed to the river to wash, and he had always done this kind of thing.
Those village girls were quite generous, curiously looked at the old five for a while, and then a woman took the initiative to help him do the laundry, the fifth naturally couldn't ask for it, and the village girl laughed and talked, after washing the clothes, the old five took out the money to thank him, and the village girl took the money to invite the two to the house as guests.
Mo Wen didn't want to go, but there was nowhere to dry the washed clothes, and he had never had serious food before, so he went to the village with the village girl.
The village is very small, there are only a few dozen families, there are many mulberry fields around, there is only the old mother in the village aunt's family, and the old mother did not blame her daughter for being reckless when she saw the arrival of the two, but cleaned vegetables and cooked for guests.
"Master, she has affection for you."
Lao Wu pointed to the busy young village girl under the stove and said to Mo Wen, he was self-aware, and knew that the village girl was talking to him to understand Mo Wen's situation.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lao Wu, but did not answer.
"Master, it's good here."
Lao Wu said again.
Mo asked still did not answer, as the fifth said, here is quiet and peaceful, food and clothing do not worry, and the environment is quiet, if you live here, it is not pleasant and tranquil, the village girl is a southern woman, delicate face, fair skin, if you are tempted at this time, you can settle down immediately.
"Master, you don't like it here," the fifth child asked.
"I like it, but we can't stay, I have received the great grace of the Qing Dynasty, and I should take it as my responsibility to benefit the people in the world, how can I be attached to comfort and lose my heart."
Mo Wen shook his head slowly, in fact, he didn't like to fight with people in his bones, nor did he like to fight for power and profit, so he chose a peaceful path close to the king and using the imperial power to promote Taoism, instead of choosing the bloody route of killing and meritorious service taken by Baili Wind and others.
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
Lao Wu nodded in agreement.
Mo Wen didn't speak again, at this time he somewhat understood why the Jin State had more soldiers and enough food but never waved his troops north, and now it seems that it is mainly because of the comfortable life in the south, and the royal family is satisfied with the status quo and does not want to forge ahead, since the royal family has such a mentality, even if he is close to the king in the future, it will be difficult to persuade him to raise troops to go north.
The meal was quickly brought to the table, and the two of them let the master go to the house, serve the bowl to eat, and after the meal, when the clothes were dry, he took his leave and left, although he could not stay here, he did not lose the kindness of the mother and daughter, and left ten taels of silver, and paid for the meal a hundred times.
Monsters are not everywhere, ghosts are not everywhere, the next few days the two passed by a lot of rural towns, no trace of monsters and yin things were found, the fifth child was a little anxious, Mo asked also a little anxious, but barely able to hold on.
At this time, the New Year has passed, but the villagers in this area have not cultivated, not because they are lazy and tired, but because this area has not been raining since last summer, the land is dry and cracked, the river is cut off, and the fields cannot be cultivated without water.
The two counties affected by the disaster were in Guzhou, one in Huang County and one in Chang County, and Mo Wen and Lao Wu were outside Huang County at this time.
"Master, is there a monster that is doing something about the drought here?"
asked Lao Wu, pointing to the cracked rice fields on the side of the road.
"Drought and flood should be caused by solar terms, and have nothing to do with monsters."

Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"Now is the time to plant, if you miss the solar terms, the corn will not grow when it is cold."
Lao Wu said.
Mo Wen nodded slightly, Lao Wu's words made him a little embarrassed, because he didn't know the specific time of sowing different crops.
At noon, the two arrived at the city gate, where several notices from the government were posted next to the gate, one of which informed the villagers that the imperial court had exempted the villagers from paying taxes for this year.
Another is to order the villages to dig ditches to divert water to alleviate the drought.
The last one is a reward for the ability to ask for rain.
"Master, is it a notice to ask for rain" Lao Wu saw Mo and stopped beside the list for a long time, and guessed what was written on the list, at this time, there are many things in various countries and places asking God to ask for rain, which is not a rare thing.
Mo Wen nodded when he heard this.
"What's the benefit?"
asked the fifth.
"If you can ask for rain, you can get a reward of 500 taels of silver from the official family, and they will also report to the state government to inform the people in the counties and towns of Guzhou."
Mo asked.
"Master, this is a good opportunity to be famous."
The old five are excited.
"If you can't ask for rain, it's a good opportunity for infamy."
Mo Wen frowned and shook his head.
"Master, can you ask for rain in the spell you learned" After Mo asked a reminder, Lao Wu thought of the most critical question, and he didn't know if Mo Wen had the ability to ask for rain.
"Calling the wind and rain, you should use the purple talisman to reach the sky, I have the heavenly wolf in my hand to draw and write the purple talisman, but the aura cultivation is not enough, and the practice of skipping the level will hurt myself."
Mo Wen frowned and groaned, although the Heavenly Wolf was supernatural, he was only able to write high-level spells beyond the level, and he could not offset the resulting backlash, nor could he reduce the large amount of wear and tear on his own aura when he practiced it.
Lao Wu heard the words and stopped talking, Mo Wen groaned and walked into the city gate, although it has not rained for a long time, the daily drinking water of the residents in the city is still there, so there is no panic in the city, the villagers are busy, everything is as usual.
After entering the city, Mo Wen found a wine shop to sit down, and wanted to eat food slowly, and at the same time carefully estimated in his heart whether to do the matter of asking for rain, the matter of rain is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court Rain Department, the time of rain, the number of points, and the range covered are fixed, in addition to the Dragon King of the Four Seas can act expediently, and no one else has the right to do anything to rain.
Because there is a fixed number of rain in the Heavenly Court, the Taoist method of calling the wind and calling the rain is usually the Dragon King of the Four Seas, but the rain of the Dragon King of the Four Seas is not only not much, but the coverage is also very limited, usually not more than ten miles, and the affected area here is at least more than 100 miles, even if the Dragon King is invited to rain, it is a drop in the bucket.
Since the dragon king's rain cannot be completed, he can only ask the rain department of the heavenly court to rain, and if he wants to ask the rain department to rain, he needs to respectfully ask the wind, thunder and lightning three parts to be the auxiliary, so that the action is very big, if it is missupervised, the consequences are unimaginable.
The Taoist is originally a person who walks the way for the heavens, just like the mortal emperor sent a messenger, and the charms drawn by the high-ranking Taoist priests are like the decree of the heavenly court, which can drive the heavenly soldiers and generals, and can mobilize the yin ghosts and yin soldiers.
This right is given by God, aiming to make those righteous Taoist priests who observe the people's feelings pick up the relics of the heavenly court, make up for the gaps in the inspection, if it is used properly, it is meritorious, if it is not clear whether it is right and wrong, it is indiscriminately used to interfere with the heavenly harmony, and the punishment of the heavenly court is also extremely severe.
Therefore, if you want to call on the four departments of wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the heavenly court, you must find out in advance the reason why it has not rained for a long time, whether it is the negligence of the heavenly court or the great loss of morality of the people here who have committed the wrath of the heavens.
In addition, asking for rain also needs to bear the loss of aura and damage to oneself caused by over-the-top casting, the power of Taoists with different spiritual qi cultivation is not the same, calling for wind and rain is something that only purple qi can do, to please move the four parts of the heavenly court, you need to consume a lot of aura, if the aura is not enough, it will be followed up by the natal primordial god, in other words, once the method is done, even if the primordial spirit is consumed, there must be a beginning and an end, and you must not rush to those who carry the magic weapon to the halfway of the various divine soldiers to say that my aura is exhausted, you go back.
"Master, the food is cold, let's eat first."
Seeing that Mo Wen didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Lao Wu said from the side.
Mo Wen came back to his senses, served a bowl to eat, and asked for rain He didn't think about it anymore, he was calm by nature, he didn't like to rush forward, and the risk was very high, but the reward was not big, and it was not worth the risk.
The teahouse is always the most well-informed place, the two of them eat halfway, a group of officials in soap clothes came to the wine shop, ordered vegetables and drinks there, the content of the conversation attracted Mo Wen's attention, according to those officials, when the second prince of the dynasty was ordered to go south to deal with military affairs, he will pass through here in the near future.
I listened patiently for a long time, but I never saw those officials say the specific time, presumably the prince's itinerary was kept secret, and these officials did not know the details.
After eating, Mo Wen took Lao Wu out of the wine shop and walked east along the street.
"Master, where are we going?"
asked the fifth child casually.
"County Government":
