24. Onion heads

The warrior monk looked Zhao Ran up and down for a while before he said, "I don't understand what you're talking about?"

Zhao Ran said a little anxiously: "I'm here to return something to him, this thing is very important to him." ”

The warrior monk did not give an inch: "Hand over the things, and I will naturally transfer them to the Buddha." ”

Zhao Ran said angrily: "No, there are so many Buddhas, who knows which one you will give it to?"

The warrior monk looked at Zhao Ran with a strange look, and then scolded: "Where did the ignorant layman come from, dodge." ”

A warrior monk next to him had a good temper, so he explained: "I don't know how many people want to see the Buddha every year, so go back quickly." Where there are many Buddhas, there is only one Buddha in the entire National Teacher Tower. ”

Zhao Ran suddenly felt a little weak in his legs, and gestured weakly with his hand: "I obviously saw so many ......"

"Those are Buddhists, let's go quickly. ”

Zhaoran carried the blanket on his back, and turned his head without giving up: "Then is there any one of you Buddhists named Jiuru?"

The warrior monk shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"What about you Buddhas?"

The bad-tempered warrior monk glared at him: "Are you the name of the Buddha you ask?"

"The monks don't pay attention to this. Another warrior monk hurriedly stopped him, turned his head and said, "The Buddha has not yet received the ordination, so he has no Dharma name, and he uses his common name, which is called Feng Liujing." ”

----

Zhao Ran was a little depressed and was about to turn back, but he heard someone say, "Is the Buddha already gone?"

It was Wang Zeng's voice.

The warrior monk hurriedly greeted him: "Master Ma, the Buddha got up early this morning." ”

Wang Zeng nodded: "Then we will set off immediately, and maybe we can catch up with his trip." He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ran: "What do you have to bring to the Buddha?"

Zhaoran took out a few talismans from his blanket and shook them: "Someone sold two talismans, saying that they were painted by the Buddha, I just wanted to come over and ask the Buddha to identify whether it was painted by his old man." ”

"Bastard, how could a Buddha draw such a thing?!" the warrior monk shouted.

Even the good-tempered warrior monk was annoyed: "We are Buddhists, how can we draw your Taoist talisman?"

Zhaoran looked crying and mourning: "This is what I bought with all my belongings, oh my God, this is a human life!"

He knew that Wang Zeng hated those pickled people the most, but he didn't expect Wang Zeng to leave, and after he howled a few times, Wang Zeng opened his mouth and asked, "How many silver taels did you draw these talismans?"

"A dozen taels of silver. Zhaoran said casually.

The warrior monk sneered: "What a Diao Min, even the civilians in the town may not be able to take out a dozen taels of silver, but the villagers in your ravine can take out a dozen taels of silver." ”

"Who hasn't been rich in their ancestors!" said Zhao Ran without blushing or panting.

Wang Zeng opened his mouth and said to the guards next to him, "Go and get twenty taels of silver." ”

The guards quickly brought four small silver ingots, and Wang Zeng handed them to Zhao Ran and said, "I bought these two talismans." ”

The warrior monk said: "Master Horse, this is clearly a liar. ”

Another warrior monk with a better temper took a moment: "Amitabha, the horse master has a merciful heart, and the heavens will have a good reward." ”

Zhao Ran was also a little dazed, he didn't know why Wang Zeng was so polite to him, but fortunately, Wang Zeng turned around and left after giving him two silver taels, otherwise he really had to wonder if Wang Zeng had a plan against him, or if he was aware of something.

Wang Zeng's guards didn't understand either, so they waited for the horse guards to ask, "Why does Xiao Hou Ye need to buy this villager's things?"

"It's a bit like ......," Wang Zeng said after a moment of silence.

He didn't say anything, just casually threw the two talismans aside, and then ordered: "Inform the convoy, speed up the whole process, and catch up with the people in front of the National Teacher Tower." ”

----

Zhaoran went around a few circles on the road, and only returned to the inn after making sure that he was safe and sound, and the onion head had already woken up, and when he saw him, he pointed to his mouth, and then flattened his mouth.

The onion head has no other strength, but he cried and was shocking, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Let's get it, what do you want to eat, get it right away, get it right away." ”

He pointed to the remaining trotters in the basin and asked, "Do you eat the paws, good thing!"

The onion head's mouth was even more flattened, and Zhao Ran hurriedly changed his words: "Chicken, eat chicken!"

But when Zhaoran came back with a roast chicken, the onion sniffed, but still didn't eat it.

Zhaoran simply got the mutton, beef, and pork back, but the onion's expression became worse and worse, and two crystal tears rolled around in the big black eyes, and he was about to cry.

"Wait!" Zhao Ran stretched out his index finger and made a painful expression, then reached into the hole in the corner of the wall and pulled out a small mouse.

Looking at the little mouse squeaking and struggling in mid-air, the onion's big eyes suddenly lit up, but his mouth was firmly closed, and his two little hands were desperately patting the basin containing the pig's trotters.

Zhaoran sighed, resigned himself to his fate, went out to fetch a basin of water, and came back, and threw the little mouse in to wash.

But the little mouse was also a shrewd mouse, and as soon as he made a circle in the water, he kicked through the water and jumped out, and saw that he could escape from death, but the next moment, the onion's mouth moved, and before he could see it clearly, the little mouse was in his mouth, leaving only a tail to wagging outside.

Zhaoran looked at the pink and white face of the onion head, and the round black eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sore tooth, and he breathed a sigh of relief, he had nothing to do with the Rong family, he didn't like to eat mice, he only liked to gnaw pig's trotters.

Fortunately, the onion head has a small appetite, and he sleeps when he is full, and Zhaoran didn't feel too difficult to raise a small snake, so he took the time to go to the tavern and chatted with Xiao Er, who talked about Buddha fish last time.

----

Zhaoran has eaten in the tavern a few times, and he is quite generous, and Xiao Er is also happy to say: "The Buddha was originally the eldest son of a wealthy family, I heard that he sat cross-legged in his mother's womb, and when he was born, he pointed to the sky and the ground, which means that the Buddha said, I am the only one in heaven and on earth!"

Zhao Ran gestured this posture in his heart, and not only asked strangely: "I'm afraid this posture is not good to come out of the mother's womb, right?"

Xiao Er said spittle, he told the story of the Buddha to the guests on weekdays, and told more that he believed in the truth first, and at this moment he heard that he was suspicious, so he hurriedly said: "How can the Buddha be compared with ordinary people, and what people can't do, this is the Buddha." ”

Zhao Ran had no choice but to swallow back the sentence that if the Buddha is the only one in heaven and on earth, then where would he put the Buddha.

Xiao Er continued: "The Buddha has been practicing with our Ming monks since he was a child, and then the emperor established the National Teacher Tower, and the first person to write the National Teacher is the Buddha. The national teacher wants to protect the emperor in Beijing to cultivate, and this national teacher tower has actually always been the Buddha's seat. Now that demons are rampant, it is all thanks to the Buddha Town, so that we will not be harmed by demons. ”

Zhaoran thought that the monk would protect the emperor's cultivation......

----

He ate and drank to his heart's content, threw a dozen copper coins to reward Xiao Er, and was dragged into the alley by a person as soon as he got out.

Zhaoran looked at the upside-down face in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, it's okay to rob money...... Don't rob the color!"

Footnote "bah" him: "You are still alive, but it is beyond the expectations of Lord Ben?!"

Zhao Ran was really surprised, his mouth opened in a half-circle, and he still stubbornly asked, "Girl, have we met?"

Footnote flew a glance at him, and the slender jade finger poked at Zhaoran's shoulder: "Less, what we are best at in Luozifeng Qianmian is easy appearance, and the best thing is to debunk the true face of others, don't look at the makeup, but your eyes, the distance between your eyes, the width of your shoulders, and the posture of walking ......"

Zhaoran interrupted him: "I forgot to change my belt, right?"

Zuyin said stiffly: "There is a lot of knowledge here, how can it be as simple as you think!" He changed the subject, "How did you escape from Jiashan's hands, but I heard that the princess died a maid violently, and I thought it was you." ”

"Did you know that the princess was going to find a stand-in to enter the Li Mansion?" Zhao Ran asked rhetorically, remembering that when Zuyin first applied for the draft, he insisted that he was literate.

Footnote gloated and said: "What kind of beauty should you be, Jiashan specializes in recruiting orphan girls with outstanding appearances, but after a few days, these orphan girls have disappeared without a trace, and we found out that these orphan girls have entered the Li Mansion in the past few days, and they all died of illness in just a few days." ”

Zhaoran was a little speechless, but he didn't expect that Zuyin was a serious person who came to investigate the case, but it was inconvenient to say the ins and outs of this case, so he had to say vaguely: "I saw that something was wrong, so I escaped by myself." ”

Footnote glared at him again: "You have ruined Lord Ben's big business, I haven't found out my eyebrows here, and the people in the Alley of No Light actually ordered people to kill them cleanly!"

Zhao Ran thought about it, and the matter of someone poisoning in Wudeng Lane can be checked by Zuyin, and said: "The civilians in Wudeng Lane were not killed by Jiashan, someone poisoned, and the people in Wudeng Lane became walking corpses overnight, and the Buddha of the Demon Suppression Tower was destroyed." ”

Zuyin's face changed color, and he blurted out three words: "Ye Gucheng!"

Zhao Ran hurriedly asked, "What is Ye Gucheng?"

Zuyin's mouth was like a funnel, and he couldn't hold back anything, but when he asked "Ye Gucheng", he didn't answer, and only said: "Now that the people of Rongjiazhuang have escaped cleanly, do you want to go to Luozifeng with me? My master has some relationship with your village, maybe he is willing to take you in." ”

Zhao Ran shook his head, no matter whether Jiu Ru was Feng Liujing or not, he always wanted to return the Demon Falling Bow to him, so he said: "I still have something to go to the capital, let's see it when I come back." ”

Zuyin was not reluctant, but said: "If you come to Luozi Peak, just report my name to the uncle, if you meet a fat man named Pig Ears, don't believe him, he is the best at deceiving people." ”

----

Zhaoran broke up with Azuyin, and took the onion head along the mountain road all the way north to the capital.

The onion head spends most of his time napping on Zhaoran's shoulder, but sometimes he comes down to play.

He is not very good at walking, he crawls on all fours, but the speed of crawling is really amazing, if Zhao Ran doesn't chase hard, he can't catch up with him, and the birds and beasts go all the way, so that Zhao Ran didn't hit a single game.

Zhao Ran had no choice but to untie his belt to the onion head to the tree, and then he ran several miles away to hunt the prey back, he first peeled the prey and roasted it, ate a portion himself, and handed a portion to the onion head.

The onion head was reluctant to eat at first, and his mouth began to howl as soon as he flattened, and his voice was so loud that the leaves above his head were trembling, but in the wilderness, he was not afraid of crying.

He cried and fell asleep, and when the onion was tired of crying, he woke up, picked up the roast in his hand and handed it to him, and the onion tossed back and forth a few times, and had to barely pick up the pheasant leg and nibble a few bites.

But this roasted thing is woody and old, where is the raw mouse delicious and juicy, the onion head began to howl again, he opened his mouth, Zhaoran tore a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, the onion instinctively swallowed it, and then howled, Zhaoran threw it again, three times or two onions felt full, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The onion head is very aggrieved, eating on weekdays is the happiest thing for him, but now he has eaten without any taste.

The more he thought about it, the more he lost, so he hugged the chicken leg and lay on Zhaoran's shoulder, howling and biting twice, howling and biting twice, and when they came out of the forest, the onion head suddenly found that the chicken leg in his hand didn't seem to be so unpalatable.

Onion head suddenly felt wronged, when Zhaoran reached out to hug him down, he opened his mouth and bit Zhaoran's finger, Zhaoran said "oh yo" in pain, and then picked up the onion head with his backhand, opened his mouth, and scared the onion head kicked his feet, but heard the person in front of him happily say: "Onion, you have long front teeth!"

Onion looked at the bright smiling face of the person in front of him, and twisted his body a little embarrassedly, feeling that he shouldn't have bitten just now, and this person was not so hateful.

He thought about his grandfather and said that knowing his mistakes can change his husband, and his mother said that his father is a good husband, and his father is really brave to admit his mistakes, so should he admit his mistakes?

Zhao Ran knew that Onion wanted to be crooked into the ditch, he stood on the hillside and looked at the city in front of him with the light and said: "Onion, the capital has arrived!"
