Chapter 463 Ginseng Little Monster
Chapter 463 Ginseng Little Monster
The deal was done, and Zhang Xintong signed the contract. The immortal world was quite formal, with annual salary payments. Wenchang Emperor had played a trick on the contract, writing a long list of dates. He thought Zhang Xintong hadn't seen it, but she'd seen it all. 200 immortal stones a year, 9000 years would be 180 million immortal stones. Earning a salary, working without fatigue, and being able to spend time with Gu Yan—three birds with one stone. This job was a must-do until old age.
After signing the contract, Emperor Wenchang urged Zhang Xintong to go to the land temple in the mortal world to take up her post. However, when her contract as the land god expired, she refused to go. Now the position is vacant, and Zhang Xintong returned to the mortal world not long after staying in the fairyland.
The temple is huge, and the common people believe in the deity and often ask for his blessings. The statue of the deity is also huge, and looks like a kind old man.
Zhang Xintong and Gu Yan settled down in the land temple. During the day, Zhang Xintong would either disguise herself as an ordinary person and wander around the temple, or listen to people's wishes in front of the statue, or go out to help people realize their wishes.
People’s wishes are varied. Zhang Xintong has 50 KPIs a year, and the first wish she fulfilled was a woman’s.
The woman was 43 years old and looked very old. Her husband and son had gone to the battlefield before. When they came back, one had a broken leg and the other had an arm missing. Neither of them could do heavy work, so they raised some chickens at home and made a living by selling eggs.
The woman made a wish that her chickens would lay more eggs, so they could sell more eggs and feed her family. Zhang Xintong decided to help her realize this simple wish that was crucial to her livelihood.
She thought this wish was simple: she just needed to enlighten the woman's chickens so that they would lay more eggs. Unexpectedly, the enlightened chickens easily ran away. They no longer wanted to be egg-laying chickens, but wanted to be cultivation chickens. Zhang Xintong had no choice but to give up on the enlightenment.
Zhang Xintong tried several methods but none of them worked. In desperation, she could only catch insects to feed the chickens so that they would eat good food and lay more eggs.
After a day of catching bugs, Zhang Xintong returned to the Earth God Temple. Gu Yan was waiting for her at the door. Zhang Xintong was dirty, with two straws on her hair, and she threw herself directly into the clean and refreshed arms of Gu Yan.
"Ayan, the bugs are so hard to catch. I'm so tired!"
Gu Yan hugged Zhang Xintong who rushed over to him and removed the two straws from her head.
"I'll go catch it with you tomorrow."
"Okay, but I want a hot bath now."
Although she knew how to clean herself, it was comfortable to soak in a hot bath. In this world, she didn't need to eat, drink, or sleep, so she always had to have something she enjoyed.
Gu Yan filled the bath tub with hot water, washed Zhang Xintong, and then changed the water again.
"Ayan, I'm done washing. No need to change the water."
Gu Yan enters the bathtub
"Tongtong, now that you're done washing, come wash with me."
Gu Yan touched her all over, and soon, Zhang Xintong was gasping for breath.
"Ayan, this is the Earth God Temple, you are blaspheming the gods."
Gu Yan posted Zhang Xintong
"Tongtong, you are the land god of the land temple. This is our home. Why are you blaspheming the gods?"
"Ayan, you..."
"What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong?"
Gu Yan bit Zhang Xintong's earlobe, and the sound of rushing water was endless.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Ah Yan!"
"Tongtong, I'm here, I'm always here"
The next day, Gu Yan accompanied Zhang Xintong to catch insects. He was very talented in catching insects and he caught enough for many days in just one day.
Zhang Xintong......
It's really true that compared with monsters, they will die, and compared with goods, they will be thrown away. I can't even catch a bug better than him?
After fulfilling the woman's wish, Zhang Xintong received a trace of power of faith. The power of faith was a little too little, and Zhang Xintong didn't feel any benefit from it.
One day at noon, a woman ran to the land temple and made a wish, crying breathlessly.
"Goddess of the Earth, I don't want to be sold. Please help me. If you can fulfill my wish, I will come to the Earth Temple every month to fulfill my vow."
Seeing her crying so miserably, Zhang Xintong looked into her past. The girl was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in the city. She was her father's only daughter and had originally chosen a son from a family friend as her husband. However, she had fallen for her current husband, a poor scholar. Not only did he kill her father, he also seized her family's property. Today, he and his concubine were discussing selling her. She had no other choice but to come to the land temple for help.
Not long after the woman arrived at the land temple, her husband and concubine came with their men. Her husband came up and slapped the woman several times.
"I'm letting you run, letting you run. If you don't like being high and mighty, then I'll make you the lowest of whores. Mother Wang, I'll sell you for one penny. It's a death indenture, regardless of life or death."
Mother Wang was the madam of the Yihongyuan in the city. When she heard that the girl was sold to her for 1 penny, she was overjoyed and immediately ordered her thugs to kidnap the girl.
The woman had no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down to the earth. At this moment, Zhang Xintong snapped her fingers, and everyone except the woman froze in place, motionless.
The stunningly beautiful Zhang Xintong walked up to the woman and she was stunned.
"Who...who...are you?"
Zhang Xintong smiled sweetly
"I am the land deity you prayed for!"
"Isn't the Earth God an old man? How can he be so beautiful?"
The woman is good at talking, and Zhang Xintong is in a good mood.
"Do you still want to make your wish come true?"
The woman nodded frantically
"think"
Zhang Xintong snapped her fingers again, and everyone disappeared from the land temple.
When the woman opened her eyes again, she returned to the time before she was to marry the poor scholar, with the beautiful woman's words still lingering in her ears.
"I have made my wish. Remember to come to the land temple every month to fulfill it."
The girl immediately found her father and asked to cancel the engagement with the poor scholar. Although her father didn't know why, he was very relieved. He had never liked the man his daughter liked, but since his daughter liked him, he had no choice but to agree. Now that his daughter wanted to cancel the engagement, he would definitely agree.
The poor scholar husband has no power at the moment. He had spent a lot of effort to get close to the girl, but he didn't expect to be suddenly broken off from the engagement. He definitely wouldn't accept it.
The poor scholar husband thought that the girl's father did not agree, so he asked the girl to meet him in a restaurant, and used both coaxing and deception to force the girl's father to agree.
The woman watched the performance of the poor scholar husband, and then handed him a small bag full of banknotes, gold and silver. The poor scholar husband was still complacent, but unexpectedly, as soon as the woman came out of the private room, she shouted loudly that someone was robbing.
The people outside came quickly. The woman had already made arrangements. Due to the huge amount of robbery, the poor scholar husband was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The girl later married the man chosen by her father. Although they were not completely in harmony with each other, they were harmonious.
The woman would go to the land temple every month to fulfill her vows, but before that she was the previous land deity. When she met Zhang Xintong, she was already the mother of a 5-year-old boy.
When she saw Zhang Xintong, she knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Earth Fairy. I finally meet you. I am very happy now."
Zhang Xintong knew that the woman had been going to the land temple to fulfill her vows every month in recent years without missing a single time. Zhang Xintong tapped the child's head.
"You will definitely become the top scholar in the imperial examination and have a smooth life."
The woman knelt on the mat and kowtowed
"Thank you, Earth Fairy, thank you, Earth Fairy"
Others can't see Zhang Xintong, they just think that the woman is sincere.
