071 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 70

☆, Chapter 70 The golden statue will bury the poor child

Thanks for the pity: “Call him right away.”

Feng Xin put the two index fingers of his right hand together, pressed them against his temples, and channeled Mu Qing.Over there, Qi Rong spat: “It turns out that he came from that nook and corner of Yong’an. It’s true that poor people come out of poor places. Can you rob the gods of their money if you are poor?”

Lang Ying said: “Then I won’t rob him. Now I worship the god you worshiped. I will kneel down and kowtow to him, and beg him to give me money to save the lives of people in my hometown. Will he save us?”

Qi Rong choked and murmured in his mind that if he said yes, wouldn’t this person just climb up the pole and run away with the money, right?Then he said: “His Royal Highness the Prince is an immortal. Even the immortals are very busy. How can you, a cunning person like you, have time to deal with this?”

Hearing this, Lang Ying nodded slowly and said: “I don’t think he will pay attention to it. It’s not like we haven’t prayed before. Isn’t it useless? He will still die.”

Xie Lian was shocked, and a Taoist shouted: “Aren’t you afraid of being punished by heaven and man for saying such disrespectful words in the temple?”

Lang Ying said: “It doesn’t matter. If you punish me, you will punish me. I’m no longer afraid that he won’t save me. Are you still afraid of him punishing me?”

Qi Rong waved his hand, and a group of attendants who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up and surrounded the young man, punching and kicking him.Feng Xin used every opportunity to neutralize the strength of their fists and kicks. Therefore, although Lang Ying seemed to be being held down and beaten violently, he had a blank look on his face and did not dodge. He only occasionally raised his hands to protect the luggage on his back.Qi Rong grabbed a handful of melon seeds, shook his legs while eating them, and said: “Hit me, give me a hard beating!” He looked like a complete villain.Hearing his title, Lang Ying suddenly raised his head and said, “Are you the king? What kind of king? Do you live in the palace? Can you see the king?”

Qi Rong said casually: “I am your grandfather! Do you still expect to see His Majesty the King? His Majesty has so many things to do all day long, who has time to care about you.”

Lang Ying twisted his neck and asked stubbornly: “Why don’t you have time to pay attention to me? The gods have no time to pay attention to me, and your Majesty has no time to pay attention to me. So who has time to pay attention to me? Who should I go to? Does the king know that many people died in Yong’an? Do the people in the imperial city know? If they know, why would they rather throw money into the water than give it to us?”

Qi Rong sneered and said: “We can spend our money however we like, even if we just throw it away and don’t do other people’s business, why should we share it with you? You are poor and you are justified?”

Although there is some truth in this statement, it is really not appropriate to say it at this time.Xie Lian was about to think of a way to seal Qi Rong’s mouth. At this moment, a young man in black clothes hurriedly came out from the back of the palace and said, “Why did your Highness call me?”

Xie Lian waved and said: “Come quickly, Mu Qing. Among the prayers you have received these days, have you heard about the drought in Yong’an?”

Mu Qing was also startled and said: “I haven’t heard of it.”

Feng Xin blurted out in his busy schedule: “Why not? All the refugees over there have fled here!”

His tone was too firm, which made Mu Qing’s face become a little stiff, and he said stiffly: “I told the truth, it is indeed not true. Do you mean that I deliberately knew the information and did not report it? Then did you receive it? If there are people from Yong’an praying for drought relief, and I am on duty in the Prince’s Palace in single months, and you are on duty in double months, it is not possible that all drought-related prayers will be gathered in a single month, and you will not know at all.”

Feng Xin was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, it was indeed true, and said: “I didn’t say you did it on purpose. You think too much.”

Hearing that they seemed to be quarreling again, Xie Lian made a “pause” gesture with a headache and said: “Okay, Feng Xin didn’t mean that. Stop it immediately.”

The two immediately stopped talking.It happened that Qi Rong finally got tired of watching his men beating Lang Ying, so he took a small bag and packed the melon seed shells, and said: “Drag the thief to the prison.” All the attendants said: “Yes!” Several people set up Lang Ying.Xie Lian said: “Let’s solve the current problem first and save this man. Then I will ask him about Yong’an.”

Mu Qing softened her expression and said cautiously: “How do you want to solve it, Your Highness? You are not allowed to appear at will.”

After ascending, one rule that Xie Lian couldn’t understand was this.The priest said he wanted to help the common people, but he always had to put on airs and stand above all living beings, and could not manifest the spirit at will, which made him often tied up and very troubled.Fortunately, Xie Lian also had many countermeasures. He pushed without thinking or looking back.The people in front noticed the shadows on the ground shaking faintly, and turned around in confusion.The next moment, Qi Rong screamed: “Prince’s cousin——”

Thanks to this move, he actually knocked down his own statue!

The gentle and handsome golden statue holding a sword and a flower will tilt slowly to one side.Qi Rong looked as if his mother was hanging and kicking the stool. He was so heartbroken that he didn’t care about Lang Ying at all. He rushed over and hugged the statue’s thigh, holding on tenaciously, and said heartbreakingly: “What are you trash waiting for! Help me hold him up! Don’t let the prince’s cousin fall!! He can’t fall!!!”

He was heartbroken, but Xie Lian passed by him calmly and stepped out of the Prince’s Palace. Feng Xin and Mu Qing’s faces were almost split.After a long while, Feng Xin said: “Your Highness! That is your statue!”

On the contrary, something like this is a bad omen and is more or less taboo.A priest who pushes his own idol like this is really unheard of and a strange thing in the three worlds.Thanks for the pity: “It’s just a big pile of gold. Otherwise, their attention will not be diverted. You go and press the golden statue, don’t let them get out, I will go and meet this person.”

Although Feng Xin and Mu Qing were speechless, they could only obey the orders and stood next to the statue. Each of them stretched out a finger to press the statue.They only needed to use this little strength, and it was enough. Several people tried their best to help him up, but they could only hold on to a stalemate, gritting their teeth and saying: “…it is indeed real gold, and it weighs a lot!”

Lang Ying, who was sitting outside, saw a group of people no longer paying attention to him and stared at the shining golden statue for a long time. He stood up from the ground, patted the ashes on his body, and ran out with his luggage on his back.Xie Lian followed him and waited for him to run out for a while and entered a lush forest. He looked around and then sat down to rest under a tree.Xie Lian hid behind the tree and made a secret gesture, taking the shape of a white path.

After taking shape, he looked up and down to make sure there were no flaws. He flicked his fly whisk and was thinking about how to appear in a non-obtrusive manner when he saw Lang Ying squatting beside a puddle next to a tree and digging a hole in the ground with his hands.

“…”

The young man’s hands were wide, and when he shoveled down the hole with one palm, the hole was wide and deep. The dirt flew up like a lean black wolf dog.Xie Lian was wondering why he suddenly dug a hole, but when he saw him wiping the dirt on his pants, he scooped up a handful of water from the puddle and brought it to his mouth.

Seeing this, Xie Lian couldn’t hide anymore, so he quickly walked out, stopped his hand, took a kettle from Qiankun in his sleeves, and handed it to him.

Lang Ying had already taken a mouthful of water from the puddle, puffed up his cheeks and swallowed it. Looking at the sudden appearance of the little Taoist priest, he was not surprised or refused. He took it and drank it, gulping, gulping, and drank it all in one gulp.After drinking, he said: “Thank you very much.”

Now that he has appeared suddenly, Xie Lian doesn’t pay attention to any natural opening remarks.He tried his best to shake the fly whisk as if he were immortal and trustworthy, and said: “My friend, where did you come from and where are you going?”

Lang Ying said: “We came from Langerwan in Yong’an City and originally wanted to go to the palace. Now I have changed my mind and won’t go.”

Xie Lian was startled and said: “We?”

Lang Ying nodded and said: “We. Me and my son.”

Xie Lian became more and more confused, but there was a slight chill in his heart.Lang Ying took off the bag on his back, opened it, and said, “My son.”

What was wrapped in the luggage on his back was actually the body of a child!!!

The child was extremely small, no more than two or three years old, with a yellow complexion and sunken cheeks. There were a few sparse yellow hairs on his forehead and some prickly heat.Her little face was suppressed into a strange expression, and she looked like she was about to cry. She was extremely uncomfortable.The eyes were closed, but the mouth was open, but no sound could be made.

Xie Lian’s pupils suddenly shrank, his mind was shocked, and he was speechless.No wonder he always felt that something was wrong with this young man.I can’t say what’s strange about it, I just feel it’s not like ordinary people.He speaks and acts as if he doesn’t consider the consequences at all, running rampant without caring about the beginning or the end.Now it seems that this person has any consequences that need to be considered?

Lang Ying showed him his son, then wrapped the child back up and tucked the corners carefully.Seeing his focused expression and movements, Xie Lian felt uncomfortable in his heart.This was the first time he saw the body of such a young child, and he stammered: “You…how did your son die?”

Lang Ying packed her bags and said in a daze: “How did he die… I don’t know how he died. He was thirsty, hungry, and sick. It seems like he was a little bit a bit different.”

他撓了撓頭，道：“剛背著走出永安的時候，他還會咳嗽幾聲，在後面爹啊爹啊的喊我。後來慢慢沒聲了，就咳。再後來咳也不咳了，我以為他睡著了。找到東西吃，想叫他起來的時候，他不起來了。”

This child actually died on the way to escape.

Lang Ying shook his head and said: “I don’t know how to take care of children. My wife will scold me to death if she knows that her son is dead.”

After a while of silence, he added: “I really wish my wife could still scold me.”

His expression was always plain, like a dead tree or a dark pool, unable to show any signs of life or waves.Xie Lian’s throat tightened for a while, and after a while, he whispered: “You…you…bury it.”

Lang Ying nodded and said: “Yes. I want to choose a better place, and this place is good. There are trees to block the sun, and there is water. I will go back after burying it. Thank you for the water.”

He coughed a few times, bent down again, and continued digging the hole with his hands.Xie Lian murmured: “No. Don’t thank me… don’t thank me, no.”

At this time, Feng Xin and Mu Qing also arrived. They were both confused when they saw one digging a hole and the other in a daze.Xie Lian was not in the mood to talk much, so he repeated a few words in a daze. It took him a long time to remember that just giving him water was not enough. The man had to go back to Yong’an, so he put his hand into his sleeve and touched for a long time. Finally, he took out something and handed it to him: “Take this.”

Lang Ying stopped and looked carefully at the things in his hands.It was a crimson bead less than the size of a fingernail. It was bright, smooth, and breathtakingly beautiful.Even if you don’t know what it is, you will know that this little thing must be priceless just by taking a look at it.

This is the only remaining pair of red coral bead earrings that Xie Lian wore when she went to worship Tianyou three years ago.Mu Qing was deeply impressed by this bead, and her expression changed slightly when she saw it.Lang Ying didn’t refuse. He seemed to have lost all the etiquette and worries that a normal person should have. He stretched out his hand and took it, saying: “Thank you very much.”

He carefully put the bead in his belt, took off the luggage on his back, put it gently into the pit, and said, “Dad will be back to see you soon.”

After saying that, he solemnly pushed the soil up with his hands and covered the cloth bag.Xie Lian covered his forehead and closed his eyes.After a while, the young man strode away, and Feng Xin asked in surprise: “Your Highness, what is he burying? He said ‘Dad’? Is he burying someone?”

Mu Qing was concerned about other things and said: “Your Highness, I just went to check and the matter is clear. Yong’an is not rich to begin with, and the temples and temples are poorly built. Moreover, the Taoist temple there seems to have local regulations that those who do not worship cannot enter the temple to worship, so those who go to the Prince’s Palace are rich families, and the poor people who have been affected by the disaster will not go at all…”

Xie Lian did not answer, but said in a deep voice: “You guys, go to Yong’an and see the situation. I’ll go see the Imperial Master and ask what’s going on.”

His face was as ugly as ever. The second waiters did not dare to be careless, so they responded in unison and set off immediately.Xie Lian turned around and ran towards Tai Cang Mountain.

From the looks of it, the disaster in Yong’an is probably not too big or too small.However, even if he couldn’t hear the voice of blessing, there was no way the palace wouldn’t know it!
