Chapter 20: Adoption in Detail

"Finally, 18 years later, Xu Shilin came to Jinshan Temple, defeated Fahai, and rescued his mother, the white lady. Fahai couldn't fight, so he fled to the edge of Daming Lake. When he encountered a crab, he got in and hid inside. Not moving either..."

In the original story, it should be that the son of the white lady grows up, wins the first prize, sacrifices his mother in front of the pagoda, rescues the white snake, etc. Of course, Yang Zhen would not say that.In this world of immortals, what's the use of being the number one scholar?It is more in line with the public's perception to cultivate immortality and cultivate one's own ability!
"There are too many crabs in Daming Lake, and Xu Shilin couldn't find them one by one. He found a friend of his when he was a child and asked him to help him catch crabs. He told him that Fahai can't stand the cold and heat. After that, it will be baked with fire and sealed with ice..."

"His friend catches crabs in Daming Lake every day. After catching them, he freezes them and roasts them. He finds that the taste of the crabs treated in this way is very special, so he built this Daguanlou by the lake. The ice and fire crabs are also It has become the famous dish of this Daguanlou..."

Partly deletion, partly imaginative, Yang Zhen finally finished the Daming Lake version of "Legend of the White Snake".

The hall fell into silence for a while, and Yang Zhen's voice of telling the story seemed to be still lingering in the hall, and several people were savoring it slowly.The Xiao Er was even more dumbfounded. There really is such a story. The ancestor of our Daguanlou actually knew the person in the story. Why have I never heard of it?

At this time, the girl named Yue'er spoke again:
"Aniang, what is a monk? Why are you so bad?"

"Aniang doesn't know either, maybe it's a sect?"

"It's a sect in the far west," the nun said, "This sect emphasizes reincarnation and karma, and requires all practitioners to convert to their Buddha, which is not liked by monks in Kyushu. 3000 years ago After the great war, it has already retreated to the extreme west."

"3000 years, no wonder I haven't heard of it," the woman sighed, and looked at Yang Zhen: "The story is very exciting, I don't know where I read it from?"

The tone was very polite, and the address was changed to "little friend".

Yang Zhen pretended to remember for a while, then shook her head with a wry smile: "I don't remember."

The woman stopped talking, and the nanny glanced at Xiao Er.

Xiao Er often greeted and sent off at the restaurant, she was very thoughtful, knew that it was time to go, so she hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Yang Zhen didn't know whether she should follow or not, but at this moment he was not as worried about gains and losses as before.After the story was told, his mentality relaxed, and he had done everything that should be done, but it turned out not to be so important.

Sometimes we struggle because we haven't tried hard enough.

Do your best, work hard, have a clear conscience, and your heart is naturally wide.

He smiled from the bottom of his heart, nodded to them, and waved his hand at the girl, then turned and walked out the door.

"Little friend, please stay."

Mammy stopped him aloud.

……

After the three women had eaten the crabs, they stopped ordering other meals. They set up a table on the terrace outside the hall and called people to bring some melons, fruits, snacks and tea.The girl ate a lot of crab meat dipped in rice wine, and her face would turn red, so she asked A Niang to take her to enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains on the bench in the corridor.Mammy sat at the table and stretched out her hand to greet Yang Zhen to come over as well.

The nanny handed Yang Zhen a sliced ​​melon and fruit with a kind face, but Yang Zhen was surprised by the question she asked:
"Are you looking for someone to adopt you?"

"Ah, how do you guys know?" Yang Zhen opened her mouth wide. He only discussed this matter with Aunt Fu and the little girl on the first floor. How could she know?
Immediately Yang Zhen figured it out, now he was relaxed and relaxed, pointed at his ear and asked with a smile, "Is it the trick of a fairy?"

Mammy nodded: "I'm going out with Miss and Madam, so naturally I have to pay attention to the movement around me."

Yang Zhen took the fruit and explained: "I was looking for a job for a day today. They said that I have no status, and they think I am too young, so I can only find a family first to see if they can adopt me and give me a baby." an identity."

"Well, you were doing questions and telling stories just now, did you want us to help you?"

It turns out that people's hearts are like mirrors!I really can't hide this little thought from others.Yang Zhen was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't back down at this time. In that case, it's better to speak openly and openly.

"I wonder... can you help me find a job. Although I am young, I know a lot of things. I can write and count. I still have a lot of energy. I can do a lot of jobs."

"This is absolutely not allowed." Mammy replied very firmly: "You are not yet an adult, so you cannot work as a hired worker. This is a rule set by the sect, and no one dares to disobey it."

"The rules of the sect? I heard that the sect seems to attach great importance to children. Is there any reason here?"

It has only been three days since she came to this world, and Yang Zhen has already heard a lot of regulations related to children from Tie Zhu, Aunt Fu, and the guys and shopkeepers she met when applying for jobs, such as not robbing children, not recruiting child labor, Children are not even allowed to stay, etc.These regulations sound like protecting children, but it makes it difficult for Yang Zhen, who is now an orphan, to find a job.

"Because, a child may develop spiritual roots and become a monk through cultivation. Such a person cannot be wronged when he was young."

Wronged?Yang Zhen didn't recall it for a while.

Seemingly seeing Yang Zhen's confusion, Mammy continued to explain.

"These rules were set by the previous lord of Yunxiao Sect and the Supreme Elder at that time..."

"The suzerain of the Yunxiao Sect was born in poverty, his parents died, and he was sold by human traffickers to work in shops and mines when he was very young. Road, and later became the suzerain..."

"The Supreme Elder was born with extraordinary talent, but a killer organization killed his whole family, took him away, and secretly cultivated him into a generation of arrogance. Naturally, things were exposed later..."

Yang Zhen was taken aback when she heard that, these two are very good role models!

"One of these two seniors has been tortured since he was a child, and the other was taken away when he was young, so he hates this kind of trafficking, abuse, and robbing of young children. After one became the suzerain, he almost killed the human traffickers in Kyushu. Killed all over; the other one didn't let go of the killer organization. Later, they formulated these rules together, they must not hire or drive young children to work, they must not abduct, sell or rob children, otherwise Yunxiaozong will punish them..."

"What about the spiritual root? Why do children have it? What about adults?" This is the question Yang Zhen wants to understand most.

"Speaking of this, it's a long story." Nanny clapped her hands, smiled and hugged Yue'er, who came to listen to their conversation: "I heard you tell a story today, and I will tell you about it too." the story in it."

This nanny looks about forty years old, but she claims to be old, her real age is unknown.

"This matter, we have to start from 3000 years ago..."

It turns out that 3000 years ago, almost everyone in this world had spiritual roots, and everyone could practice.At that time, there were countless monks, and even ordinary people would know how to exhale and breathe, and how to do things like fireballs and earth dragons.

There are too many monks, but resources are limited, and the result is that they pinch each other. To use a fashionable word, it is involution.One day kills people and seizes treasures, and the next day they destroy people all over the world. Except for those top existences, almost everyone in the entire continent is in danger and precarious.

Then a great battle broke out, which also alarmed the immortals in the upper realm.After the Great War, the resources became even scarcer, so some immortals used the supreme magic technique to seal off the world.Since then, babies in this world have lost their spiritual roots as soon as they are born...

"Then...won't everyone be unable to practice?" Yang Zhen asked in surprise.

"Of course not. Immortals still have some leeway when doing things. Not every child is like this..." Mammy continued to speak slowly.

In this world, the immortal also set up a huge heaven and earth formation.These children will be affected by this formation on New Year's Day of the year when they are about to turn twelve.But only a very small number of children, under the effect of the formation, the spiritual root in the body will manifest, so that they can practice.

"This ratio is about one in every thousand children."

"so little!"

"Yeah, so rare things are more expensive, understand?"

Understood!Yang Zhen suddenly became enlightened, and many things were figured out.

For example, why Tie Zhu was so comfortable in the Gu family at the beginning, and why the pawnbroker was impatient to introduce himself to the owner for adoption.Before they reach the age of twelve, these children are likely to produce spiritual roots and embark on the road of cultivating immortals!
In the case where children cannot be snatched or sold, the only way is to use the name of adoption.

"But the proportion of spiritual roots produced is so small, it's not worth those people's scrambling to adopt children, right?" Yang Zhen expressed her doubts.

"Then you are wrong. Not to mention one out of a thousand people, one monk out of ten thousand people. Many people are also willing." Mammy explained.

"A commoner family, once a child in the family has a spiritual root and enters the fairy gate, this family is no longer an ordinary family, but a monk relative. Since then, the government has not dared to oppress, there is no corvee, and the land under the name does not need to pay taxes. If the children practice If you succeed, the government will have to come to curry favor with you..."

Yang Zhen knew it in her heart.This is the same as in the previous life when a child from a poor family passed the examination for a scholar and gained fame, he became a scholar from then on, and his family no longer needed to pay for food.

"There are still many transactions that involve cultivation resources, and only monks can participate. The profit here is a hundred times different from those in the mortal world!"

"On the contrary, if the family does not have the support of monks, even if the family wealth is tens of millions, it will be the food of his mouth, and it will be taken away sooner or later..."

"But there is no one in a thousand children with spiritual roots. In a smaller family, there may not be a child with spiritual roots in the family for hundreds of years. Such a family can only slowly decline. Are they willing? Of course not! "

"If any family wants to keep the family long-term, it must have its own real cultivator. If you can't give birth, you should adopt more children. If you cast too many nets, you can always catch fish..."

"Even for those big families, the more monks, the better. Every additional monk, the family will have more strength..."

"It costs only three or five thousand gold a year to raise a young child, and three or five thousand gold for a thousand people, but if a seedling cultivator comes out of these thousand people, the return is more than ten thousand gold! They have calculated this deal very clearly..."

……

Following Mammy's narration, Yang Zhen gradually understood.But thinking of his own situation, he still has doubts.

"So, do those orphans have to be adopted by those big families? What if the orphans don't want to?" Yang Zhen asked suspiciously.

After all, the rate of spiritual roots appearing is too low. Most of the orphans go to these rich and powerful families, and their future destiny is to be slaves.

"The sect has never required orphans to be adopted by big families. Yunxiaozong's rule is that if there are orphans within the jurisdiction, the local government must be responsible for raising them."

"Government support? Is it still like this now?"

"It's not anymore. Any system, if implemented for a long time, may change its taste. For example, this rule, guess what it will become later?"

Mammy showed a meaningful smile, looked at Yang Zhen, and seemed to want to know how he would answer.

become what?Yang Zhen thought about it seriously, recalled what she saw and heard in the past two days, and she soon realized something.

"In the later changes, the government was responsible for raising them in name, but actually entrusted other people, such as those rich and powerful families! In this way, the government not only saves worry and money, but also can get a sum of money from the big families. It only needs to be in the name of supervision. As for the big family, they may get immortal cultivation seeds with spiritual roots, which will become the help of the family from then on. Even mortals can be taken as slaves. They will not lose their money anyway."

This is really a win-win situation!No, it's a triple win.The government and the rich and powerful families each benefited, and orphans with spiritual root qualifications also received a better living environment and even funding for future cultivation.

So who is the loser?Those mortal children.In this life, she was arranged like this and became a slave of a wealthy family!
They may resent and resist, but what is the use?In this world where monks are respected, mortals are like ants, who would care?

Perhaps it is a way to escape like Tie Zhu, but how many lucky people are there?This world is very big, leaving the area where human beings gather is the wilderness.There are monsters and beasts infested there, and even monks dare not set foot in many places.When a mortal enters the wilderness, he will die ten times and no one will live.

Yang Zhen fell silent, he thought of himself.What should I do, can I just obediently find someone to adopt?
