"You said these pearls were given to you by a monster. What's going on?" Li Gongfu asked nervously.

Jiang Hao had already thought of a word before coming.

"Half a month ago, I went to see Qianjiang tide with my friend. The tide came over and started to stir up waves. A carp was photographed ashore. I saw the fish picking up. My friend laughed and said that this was a delicious food I delivered to my door. I asked me to take it home and stew it. I didn't agree, so I just put the carp back in the river and released it."

"But I never thought that yesterday an old man came into my dream. The old man said that he was the carp. He was rushed up by the waves that day to overcome the tribulation. I saved his life. He thanked me for sending money. When I woke up, there was a bag of pearls on the bedside."

Li Gongfu was shocked when he heard this.

"Fish demon, give me a dream, thank you, give me treasure."

"I have heard of magical things before. I have seen strange things as a headmaster and have seen strange things several times, but I have never really come into contact with monsters. I didn't expect that Chinese people would have such an adventure."

Jiang Hao said: "Brother-in-law, you are familiar with the things on the street. I am afraid I will be cheated, so I asked my brother-in-law to sell these pearls for me to exchange for money."

After being picked up by my brother-in-law, Li Gongfu felt a little proud in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know the shopkeeper of Ruixianglou. If these pearls are sold, he dare not cheat me."

"But these pearls should be sold for a lot of money. What is Hanwen planning to use this money?" Li Gongfu asked.

"I already have plans in my mind. I plan to buy a house first, which can be considered a place to live. I am studying medicine now. I want to open a clinic in the future. I also want my brother-in-law to help me find a storefront suitable for opening a clinic." Jiang Hao said.

Li Gongfu nodded with relief, "Chinese people are very pragmatic in their plans. You really need a house to settle down. You are not young anymore. When you have a house, you just want to talk about a wife. I will ask the matchmaker to make arrangements when I turn around."

"As for opening a clinic, it's also very good. I'll help you find the storefront. I'm very familiar with the people in the dental room. No one dares to lie to me. I will always find a suitable one for you." Li Gongfu patted his chest and promised.

He is the headmaster, and he is the most familiar with the things on the street. Who dares to cheat him casually?

Jiang Hao returned to the academy and continued to be his teacher. Li Gongfu put the pearl in his arms and spoke to his constable. He soon came to Ruixiang Building, the largest jewelry building in Qiantang.

The shopkeeper saw Li Gongfu coming in and greeted him with a smile, "Captain Li, why are you free to come to Ruixiang Building today? Could it be that the official has any notice?"

"Shopkeeper Liu is a private matter." Li Gongfu said.

"Private affairs? Do you want to buy jewelry and hairpins for your wife? If Captain Li buys it, you will get the cost price." Manager Liu said.

"It's said inside." Li Gongfu said.

Manager Liu was puzzled and asked Li Gongfu to go to the inner room. After the curtain fell, Li Gongfu took out a pearl the size of a peanut bean. It was white and round, with a first-class appearance, and handed it to Manager Liu.

Li Gongfu rolled in the secular world and was very familiar with people's hearts. He would not take out a bag of pearls as soon as Jiang Hao came up, which was too eye-catching.

Manager Liu took it and looked at the pearl, and praised it: "This pearl is of great quality. A first-grade Hezhu weighs three points and should be worth 20 taels."

Li Gongfu took out another bigger one from his arms, and Manager Liu hurriedly took it over, "This one is better, it weighs about four cents and can be sold for about 50 taels."

"What about this one?" Li Gongfu took out one with a big finger.

"Oh, this one weighs at least 5 cents and should be sold for 200 taels."

Li Gongfu's heart moved, calculated the price of the house and the storefront, and then touched it in his arms. Manager Liu looked at him, "Do you still have the meaning?"

"certainly."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of pearls in his hand. There were about a dozen, and the largest one was only 6 minutes. "It's all here. Will you collect it from Ruixiang Building?"

Manager Liu looked at the pearls, then looked at Li Gongfu, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Li, where did you come from these pearls?"

Li Gongfu smiled and said, "Why, I'm afraid these things are not easy to come by. It's okay to tell you. This is indeed not mine, but my wife's treasure."

"My brother-in-law is still old and has not yet gotten married. Her sister was anxious and took out the treasures passed down from her ancestors and prepared to sell them to Hanwen to buy a house and buy a property, so she would have a place to settle down in the future." Li Gongfu said casually.

"I didn't expect that the Xu family still had these treasures?" said Manager Liu.

"Who has no family that can save their lives?" said Li Gongfu.

"That's right." Manager Liu did not delve into this matter.

All the pearls were placed, weighed and measured, and finally calculated the price. There were 18 pearls in total, and 2,760 taels of silver were sold. The one weighed 6 cents, and the price was 350 taels.

In ancient times, it was said that a wealthy family was already quite wealthy. The land outside Hangzhou city and good land prices were only a dozen taels of silver per acre, which was enough to buy two hundred acres of land.

This money is enough to buy a house and buy a land.

The silver was too heavy and it was difficult to carry. Ruixiang Building had a silver house, so it started the silver bill directly. Li Gongfu left with the silver bill. At this time, it was dark, and the surrounding shops were lit up, and people came and went on the streets. The shops were prosperous, but they were more lively than during the day.

Instead of going back to the yamen, he came to the academy to find Jiang Hao and entered Jiang Hao's room. Jiang Hao was reading a book under the lamp. Li Gongfu looked at the simple room and said, "The conditions here are too simple, not a place for a long time. You really need a house."

"Brother-in-law, what's going on?" Jiang Hao asked with a down book.

Li Gongfu smiled, "With your brother-in-law taking action, there is nothing that can't be done." As he said that, he took out a cloth bag containing pearls from his arms.

He approached Jiang Hao and whispered: "I only sold part of it, but it was still those small ones. You are too inexplicable in doing things. Those pearls with big longans are considered treasures. It is easy to make people suspicious when they are sold."

"The rest are all here, all of which are more than six points in big pearls. This is a treasure that can be passed on from generation to generation. Please keep it well. If you really lack money, you will sell it."

"By the way, this is the silver bills from Ruixiang Building, with a total of 2760 taels, 27 pieces of 100 taels, and one piece of 60 taels, which is very convenient to get as you like." As he said that, he put a stack of silver bills on the table.

"Tomorrow, I will go and go around your house and storefront. It can't be too shabby. You need a three-entry house. The housing price in Hangzhou is too expensive. A three-entry house is estimated to cost about 600 guan. As for the storefront you want, if you want a backyard, it will cost 1,500 guan. That's 2,100 guan. You will have to live in the future and you need to leave some money to make some expenses. So don't think that you have these 2,700 taels of silver in your hand now, don't spend it with big money."

Li Gongfu said to Jiang Hao one by one, and his words were filled with care and advice. Jiang Hao could see that Li Gongfu really cared about him.

"Okay brother-in-law, I won't be careless." Jiang Hao said.

the next day,

Li Gongfu took people out for patrol and walked into Yaxing along the way. Everyone in Yaxing knew Li Gongfu and bowed and shouted that Captain Li was coming.

Li Gongfu found an acquaintance and asked him to help find a suitable house. He probably would have a glimpse soon.

......

Jiang Hao bought a house and built a land in Hangzhou, and lived a comfortable life.

But some people are in dire straits at this moment.

That day, Fahai caught the spider spirit and suppressed it under the pavilion. Before leaving, he took the spider spirit's Buddhist beads, but the Buddhist beads left without the spider spirit, and the magic power still did not dissipate. It contained Buddhist thought power, which was very pure.

Fahai frowned slightly while reciting the Buddha's beads in his hand.

"Is the spider demon saying true? He has received the embrace of the Bodhisattva Buddha and has achieved success in practicing Buddhism. Can demons also practice Buddhism?"

"No!"

"A demon is a demon, how can one become a Buddha?"

Fahai does not believe that demons can become Buddhas, because this will subvert his ideas.

A look of determination flashed across his face.

Continue to travel around the world, kill demons and promote Buddhism, and come to a mountainous area this day, suddenly a storm and storm hit, and Fahai felt the strong demonic aura.

"If you have evil spirits, please collect it!"

Flying into a bamboo forest.

The wind was fierce, the bamboo branches swayed wildly, and the rain fell down.

"The great power dragon, the World-Honored Ksitigarbha, the Prajna Buddhas, and Prajna Pa! Open your eyes and see how you hide."

I saw two huge snake monsters entrenched above the bamboo forest, one green and one white, each with a body of four or five meters thick and thirty or forty feet long, extremely huge. The scales of the two snakes were as crystal clear as glass, the green snake's eyes were green, while the white snake's eyes were red.

When Fahai saw that they were two snake monsters, he immediately prepared the method to use them and collected the two monsters.

suddenly,

He heard a groan of pain.

"Ah~~ah~!"

Fahai paused and looked over there, and found that it was a beautiful village woman with bare body, lying on the ground, her belly was obviously bloated.

"Woman, is going to give birth?"

Fahai frowned, looked at the woman and the two snakes hovering above the bamboo forest. The two snakes flew over the bamboo forest, blocking the wind and rain with their bodies.

"So they are doing good things."

"Can monsters do good things too?"

Fahai stared at the situation in front of him blankly.

Just then,

The village woman let out another cry of pain, and then a baby cried. The village woman gave birth to a child. In the wind and rain, the child cried. The woman hugged the child in her arms and stuffed the milk into the child's mouth.

The rain drips wash the woman's body.

Fahai has been practicing at Jinshan Temple since he was a child. Although he is profound in Buddhism, his mind is pure. When he sees a woman's body for the first time, his heart trembles immediately.

At this moment, the woman's body rushed into his mind.

"Amitabha Buddha, the Buddhist school emphasizes color precepts."

Fahai turned around immediately.

Although he left, his mind kept circling the body of the beautiful village woman. Fahai came out of the bamboo forest and paused, and he felt something was wrong.

He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The great power of heaven and dragon, all Buddhas are compassionate, and I am one of Buddhas."

The Buddhist magic power in his body was activated, forcibly expelling the thought in his mind and strode out of the bamboo forest.

He soared into the sky and soon returned to Jinshan Temple.

Fahai was practicing quietly in the Buddhist hall, trying to completely eliminate distracting thoughts in his heart and return to his previous pure state, but he felt that he was so hot all over and could not be at peace. In a trance, the body of the beautiful village woman appeared in his heart again.
