God's Taoism is free and easy, starting with taking in the clam girl

Chapter 13 Growth
By Qinchun Spring.

Boss Tu took the incense copper coin paid by the Qinquan Dragon King, twirled it with his thumb and forefinger, and blew it at the corner of his mouth. After carefully discerning it for a while, he said with a blank expression:

"The quality of this copper coin meets the requirements and can be used as tax."

After finishing speaking, he tossed his other hand, and the two carp returned to Qinchun Spring with two "plops".

For two days, the carp swung its tail half-dead, as if telling others that they were still alive.

Seeing this, Ao Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.Not in vain of her sacrifice, this season's incense tax has finally been paid.

Boss Tu collected the tax, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

Compared with this insignificant copper coin, he would rather see Ao Qing fail to pay the tax.

"Hmph, it's just one tax payment, don't get too carried away!"

He snorted coldly:
"For the sake of being an old friend, you won't be charged interest this time. Remember to pay taxes on time next time, otherwise it won't be as simple as a copper coin."

Putting down a harsh word, Boss Tu didn't embarrass the koi too much, and finally left.

This world is very long, and there will be a lot of dealings in the future, and many things need time to polish.

It's hard work!Those who achieve great things must have patience.

This is the fundamental reason why he has been able to stand tall as a tax envoy for many years.

Master Tu left, but the words he left behind were deeply imprinted in Ao Qing's heart. This season's tax payment was passed without any risk, so what will happen next time?
If you want to condense incense and copper coins, you must have life sacrifices.

After three consecutive months of severe drought, the life of Qinchun Spring has long been scattered, and the incense is not as good as before. It is undoubtedly a dream to gather a copper coin for incense in a season.

Do you want to borrow it again?

Ao Qing returned to Qinchun Spring with a lot of worries, and saw a dark yellow carp swimming over angrily, and yelled at him:
"Look at what kind of dragon king you are. You can delay it for such a long time with a loan. Do you want to kill your two nephews?"

Ao Qing has suffered a lot of grievances today and is planning to go home and find someone to confide in.

Unexpectedly, since he returned home, he didn't receive comfort from his family members, but what greeted him was full of abuse.

A line of tears could no longer hold back from flowing out of her beautiful eyes.

"Cry, cry, cry! You know how to cry!"

Ao Qing shed tears, and instead of trying to comfort Huang Carp, he scolded him even more.

"Look at what your two nephews have become. If I hadn't secretly used my power to maintain them, I'm afraid they would have died in the hands of that bully."

"I shouldn't have let you inherit the Dragon King in the first place!"

Ao Qing lowered her head and let her mother scold her. Suddenly, she recalled it, her eyes filled with disbelief:

"Wait, you still have mana left?"

She knew that in order to cope with the severe drought, many living beings in Qinchun Spring worked hard to maintain the water source of Qinchun Spring, and did not go their separate ways to make a living until the mana power of all living beings was exhausted.

Even as the master of the spring, I have only a few emergency gods left, why does my mother still have spare energy?
Being questioned suddenly, the old yellow carp seemed to know that he was wrong, and his eyes were a little dodgy and he dared not face Ao Qing directly.

But the next moment, she woke up again.

Now there are only three or five small fish in Qinchun Spring, all of them are his grandsons, and the Dragon King is his daughter, so he has nothing to be afraid of, and suddenly becomes hardened.

"Do you think everyone is as passionate as you, and spare no effort? To be a dragon king is to dedicate yourself. If I weren't here today, Ao Ding and the others wouldn't have killed you!"

After her mother scolded her, Ao Qing suddenly entered into a certain state, her mind was unprecedentedly calm, without any disturbance.

If it was before today, she might be ashamed, but after experiencing today's changes, her heart seems to have become stronger in a very short period of time.

"wrong!"

Her thinking was running at an unprecedented high speed, and she quickly caught the loopholes in it.

"There is still no trace of mana fluctuations on your body, so you must have borrowed external force."

If Qin Chunquan had the external force she could rely on, she wouldn't be in such a mess today.

Therefore, this item must be somewhere outside of his control.

She couldn't help but look at a scale on the yellow carp with a slightly different luster from other departments.

She knew that was where her mother stored things.

Eliminate the impossible, and the only answer is obvious.

Her eyes were scorching, staring at her mother like a hungry wolf staring at its prey, but her voice was so calm that there was no fluctuation:

"Are the relics of your father and brother on you?"

Old Huang Li had never seen her daughter look like this before, and felt a little cold all over her body. She was silent for a long time, and replied in a hoarse voice:

"No, no, no, how many times have I said, don't think about them anymore."

Hearing this familiar answer, Ao Qing turned around expressionlessly, and a teardrop quietly rolled down from the corner of her eye.

She pursed her lips and stopped talking, and swam tiredly to a corner, where there was a water palace that symbolized the Dragon King.

……

"Giggle~"

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the roosters could not wait to crow, Yi Yishicun soon woke up from his deep sleep.

Today, the busiest part of Yiyishi Village is undoubtedly the edge of Qinquan.

The villagers lined up carrying wooden barrels, chatting about the news in twos and threes.

A small figure jumped over the long water-drawing dragon, came to the altar under the boulder alone, and silently placed a shriveled mouse stem.

Wei Wu recognized him at a glance. Only the most mischievous kid in the village would do this kind of sacrifice.

Wei Wu looked at him curiously, the day's plan is in the morning, and the morning is usually the time when every household goes to the spring to fetch water, this little kid usually helps the family fetch water in the early morning, why did he change his sex today.

With the previous experience, the little boy's praying movements seemed to be a lot more proficient. He folded his hands and bowed his head and whispered:

"Help the suffering, the compassionate and benevolent Master Shenshi, Ergou brought you your favorite mouse stem, I just ask you to save my mother. My father said that if there is no god to bless me, my mother will leave me forever, Ergou I don't want my mother to leave."

After saying the prayer, he was still the same as last time, while repeatedly looking back at the mouse on the altar, he left reluctantly.

Wei Wu looked at the mouse on the altar dumbfounded, wondering how this little brat would have such a wrong impression of his love.

But, is the little boy's mother going to die?

A figure appeared in Wei Wu's mind. At first, that figure was a naive and romantic little girl, and then it kept changing like a slideshow. From wearing a wedding gown to holding a baby in swaddling clothes, the appearance of different periods gradually became clear.

His mother's name was Tie Sanniang, and she almost grew up in a stone village. Wei Wu had witnessed her life, and now he seemed to be witnessing her departure.

Is it time to part again?
Since people lived together in Yiyishi Village, the earliest group of people has bred for three generations.

Wei Wu saw a lot of life and death, but he still couldn't reach the legendary state of indifferent life and death.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of heaven and earth, which cannot be shaken by an ordinary earth spirit.

Wei Wu was in a low mood and fell into memories again. Suddenly he was shocked and realized that something was wrong.

"Tie Sanniang is in her prime at this time, if there is no accident, she shouldn't have passed away so early."

"No, I have to go and have a look. Maybe there's still a turning point. No matter how bad it is, I can see you for the last time."

Tiesanniang's house is very close to the boulder and within the range of activities.

With a thought of Wei Wu's mind, the spirit body turned into a shadow and soon came to her home.
