Chapter 610: Uh-huh, this is not water
Now the mortals in Longya Prefecture, in addition to chatting and farting and sleeping with their wives and children at night, have one more entertainment - looking up, there is a large area of red, green and green in the sky, although they can't see clearly, but they still know that it is the monks fighting.
Of course they knew that immortals were fighting and mortals were suffering, but they had already passed the stage of being frightened all day, and now watching the red, red, green and green scene had become another entertainment for them on weekdays...... There's no way, they don't have a lot of things to play, and as the Tiger Emperor, Yi Hu Gu is so boring on weekdays, let alone civilians like them. What they have been looking forward to the most in recent times is to move out their chairs after work every day, look up at the vast expanse in the sky, and imagine what the fight of the 'immortals' will be like.
In addition to this, many people who went to the city from the countryside said that there was a strange house in the city, very tall and very tall - in their parlance, five stories tall - which also intrigued some people who had never been to the city, and every time someone came back from the city, they would ask that person about that strange house.
Although not every county has such a branch, they do have a lot of branches - Li Jin, a squire from Panhe Village, once went in to see it, if I am not mistaken, it is a shop opened by a monk, and the store receives him as a kind of 'puppet', and there are many kinds of goods that he has never seen before...... But this is what puzzled him, when he was still a literati with no merit, in order to increase his knowledge, he had traveled through many places and met many people, including a few monks, but for them, it was impossible for them to have the slightest greed in the possession of mortals, and the 'magic weapons' in the hands of some of them 'poor' may be made of pure gold.
But is it such a group of people who actually came to the world to open a store? And according to others, it's not a matter of two or two...... Is there really such a group of monks who covet mortal money? But that's not right!
It stands to reason that scarcity is expensive, and if they only sell the things in their stores to officials and wealthy people, then they will definitely make a lot of money.
But they didn't do that, they put things on shelves and let people pick and choose.
According to the 'puppet' who received him, he could buy things he had never seen before – all he had to do – at a very low price, by taking the things he wanted to buy, putting them in a trolley, and checking out as he passed the 'cash register'.
Those things are really easy to use, although he has not seen them before, but those things are very apt with instructions for use, as well as various production dates, expiration dates and other things, he has not seen them before, he can also guess that these things have an expiration date, once the expiration date continues, there may be any adverse reactions.
What are they going to do...... Li Jin thought about it, but he couldn't think of what they were going to do. After all, for a mediocre mortal like him, the thoughts of that group of monks were too strange, and who knows what they were thinking?
There was a knock on the door of the "knock ......", because he didn't like to be served very much, so Li Jin didn't have anyone else in the courtyard except for him and a few dogs, so he could only open the door by himself.
"It's coming!" Li Jin replied, and the knocking on the door stopped.
When he opened the door, a young man who seemed to look familiar appeared in front of him.
Li Jin looked this young man up and down, his clothes looked sloppy, but the fabric was very good, just the smell of wine and rouge, as well as a hippie smiling face and a prodigal appearance......
raised his eyebrows and remembered, "You are Zixu!" ”
"Hey, yes! Still standing here? Don't you invite me in? 'Zixu' looked behind him with a grin, "It's not Jinwu Zangjiao, right?" ”
"Phew, you old man!" Li Jin scolded with a smile, but he still let go, "Please, small family, there is only some coarse tea and light rice at home, if you don't dislike it, come in!" ”
"Don't don't, I can't drink the tea you have here, drink it and I'll bring it!" Zixu waved his hand after entering the door......
"Whew, it's been so many years!" Li Jin glanced at Zixu and said with emotion: "You monks are too different from us mortals, after so many years, you still have such a face, and I ...... But he's old! ”
Zixu shook his head, "I'm a monk, of course I've lived a long time, otherwise what am I doing with cultivation?" I'm over 500 years old this year, and if I don't break through, I'm afraid I'll die before you! ”
"Then you have lived for at least five hundred years, you cheap and well-behaved guy!" Li Jin smacked his lips and put down the teacup, "If it was young, I wouldn't be so angry, but now that I'm old, the older I get, the more afraid I am of death, and when I heard you say that just now, I just wanted to beat you." By the way, how did you know I was here? ”
"But you can't beat me!" Zixu continued to smile, but after a while, he seemed to be a different person, his eyes were full of loneliness, "Lao Luo died, I went to his place to take a look, and when I passed by this neighborhood, I suddenly remembered you, and then used a spell and found that you were just nearby, so I came to take a look." ”
Li Jin was also silent for a moment, looking at the reflection in the cup, and suddenly sighed: "Has Brother Luo died?" He is not a few years older than me, and it seems that maybe in a few years, I will be ...... too."
"Different ......" Zixu shook his head, "Lao Luo was killed by the ancestor of the royal family of this country......"
"What?" Li Jin Huoran got up and looked straight at Zixu, who was also looking at him.
Li Jin sat back dejectedly and asked in that tired voice, "Did Lao Luo do something?" ”
Lao Luo and him Li Jin are different, Li Jin has always been very clear about this - he is a talented man from a poor family, while Lao Luo is a rich young master, if it weren't for Zixu, the two of them might not have much intersection in their lives.
When he resigned from the capital and went home, he talked to Lao Luo and asked him not to be so greedy...... But now it seems that Lao Luo didn't listen to his words.
"A lot of ......" Zixu was also in a depressed mood, "enough to make a monk who was ready to die......"
Zixu said that he is different from many monks, even if he becomes a monk, he is still by his parents' side, and even marries and has children normally...... It wasn't until it was time for him to 'die' that he faked his death and left his home, and by then he was almost ninety years old.
Zixu didn't continue, but Li Jin also knew what Lao Luo had done......
"What about his descendants?" Li Jin asked.
Zixu shook his head, "They're fine, it's just that Lao Luo and his sons ...... He is left with a few ignorant grandchildren! ”
Li Jin's mouth moved, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, "Zixu, are you doing me a favor...... Go and ask them for me, and if you don't dislike them, come to me, and I can keep them. If they don't come, tell them that if they want to run, they will only bring three things with them, and let the rest out, it would be good to save their lives, and don't think about those things outside the body. Lao Luo has been an official for so many years, and thirty percent of the money is enough for them to live incognito for a lifetime. That's also a ...... The last thing I can do for Lao Luo! ”
Zixu nodded, "Don't worry, I'll bring it!" Even if it's tied up, I'm going to tie them up! There are only a few orphans and widows left, where can they compare to those old foxes in the capital? I don't want Lao Luo to die like this! ”
Li Jin didn't speak, and finally he nodded heavily, "Okay!" I don't have any descendants, let them come, and they will be my grandchildren from now on!" Besides Lao Luo, who else was beheaded? If you fight for my life, I want to save them! ”
"Are you crazy?" Zixu's hand shook, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, "If you do this, you won't be afraid of death?" Now Lao Luo and Lao Li are all dead, it's true, but Lao Zhang is still there! You are a retired field, can you compare to Lao Zhang? ”
Li Jin slapped the table, glared at Zixu, and said angrily: "Lao Zhang is ten years older than us, who can he keep?" At the beginning, only me and Lao Zhang were left, do you think Lao Zhang's sons will waste family resources to protect those orphans and widows? ”
"Ahem!" Li Jin patted his chest in pain, and after Zixu was so frightened that he put a spell on him, Li Jin slowly recovered, but he was still panting.
"Zixu, I beg you! Lao Luo Lao Li Although there is something wrong with them, but the disaster is not good for their wives and children, there is nothing wrong with their descendants, those children are still young, except for me, no one can protect them! Aren't you a monk? Use your advanced mana to bring them here! Li Jin begged Zixu to say.
Zixu was furious, "You are the prime minister of the former dynasty, understand?" Your students are full of government and opposition, why can't you let go of this face? You have to fight with your life! You're dead, Lao Zhang is dead, you're all dead, I'm the only one left, is it fun!? If it weren't for you, the country would have collapsed! Wake up, you owe nothing to anyone! Why are you always like this? Wake up! ”
After Li Jin listened, he didn't say a word, rubbed the teacup, and suddenly asked, "Zixu, how is Your Majesty now?" ”
Zixu was also angry now and sat down. After hearing Li Jin's words, he raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Are you trying to ......?"
"I resigned back then just because His Majesty and I didn't agree with my philosophy, if the current Your Majesty ......" Li Jin didn't continue, and he could only say this in front of Zixu.
Zixu groaned, "Now this emperor ...... He was a twelve-year-old child, but he looked pretty good, and there was a monk by his side to teach him. What are you going to do? ”
“…… Go back and beg an official! Li Jin put down the teacup, "I was wrong at the beginning, I was wrong for so many years, and now I have figured it out." The older people get, the more afraid they are of death, I don't want to die, but I want to save them, I'm an old man who loves face, and I don't want to lose face. So I want to go back and ask for an official! ”
