Chapter 13: The Walking Monk

Also, Shen Tiansong, a profiteer, is quite deeply hidden, and he is actually a high-level of Mingjiao, no wonder he is so interested in this lighter, Gayin Mingjiao is developed from Zoroastrianism, and the totem worshiped by Mingjiao is fire!

Zhou Ning suddenly realized, why would this profiteer give up five hundred taels of silver to buy this lighter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info reason is here.

I knew that I should have knocked him one more time.

Thinking of what this Mingjiao profiteer had done, Zhou Ning couldn't help but regret that he was too light.

……

At this moment, it was getting late, and I don't know when it started, a light rain quietly fell in the sky, as if locking Yangzhou City into the dense fog of late autumn.

In addition to being the hub of transportation, Yangzhou is also a famous fireworks resort since ancient times, whether it is a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, or a famous man with literary style, a swinger of fencing, if you do not visit here, you are not a good man in the wind and moon field.

So the situation is so prosperous, you can imagine.

Although it was raining coldly, there were no fewer pedestrians on the streets, and from time to time a few horse-drawn carriages walked up and down the streets. After a while, the light rain became more and more dense, as if it carried the chill of approaching winter, seeping into people's clothes.

Not far away, in the alley, there was a quiet place, and not long after, the voice of the husband knocking on the change came: "Bang, the second watch has arrived, close the doors and windows, and be careful to prevent theft." ”

In ancient times, the second watch was the time of Hai, which is equivalent to the current nine o'clock.

Zhou Ning shuddered, straightened his soaked clothes, looked back at the closed Jinyu Building, and was about to leave, but he caught a glimpse of the door of the teahouse not far away, with two wanted documents pasted.

With Zhou Ning's eyesight, he looked over from a distance, and recognized at a glance that there was a wanted document in it, and the wanted person was his acquaintance, Shen Tiansong, the shopkeeper of Jinyulou.

"Didn't this guy escape?"

Zhou Ning looked up at the sky, the rain tended to get heavier and heavier, so he simply braved the rain, walked through the streets and alleys, and walked to the teahouse opposite.

As the hub of Yangzhou, there are five markets in the vicinity, and there are dozens of stalls offering all kinds of food, and this teahouse is the most prosperous one.

Walking to the bottom of the eaves of the teahouse, Zhou Ning reached out and patted the water stains on the robe. On a rainy day like this, the robes are actually a bit of a hindrance to wear. If the rain is a little heavier, usually the entire hem is wet.

After tidying up his appearance slightly, Zhou Ning looked at the two wanted documents posted on the wall of the teahouse shop.

On the sea fishing book on the left, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and broom eyebrows is drawn in a rough abstract painting method, not to mention, the painting is seven or eight points similar to Shen Tiansong.

It was written below: "Shen Tiansong, the deputy helmsman of the Jiangdu County Branch of the Ming Sect, infiltrated Yangzhou City with his accomplices to plot misdeeds and do many evils, and is now absconding, if there is any information or arrest the suspect, a reward of 5,000 taels of silver." ”

Tsk, this profiteer is quite valuable. It's worth ten lighters. Zhou Ning praised in his heart, and then raised his eyes to look at another wanted document.

"This little brother, can you let it go?"

Just as Zhou Ning was looking at the second wanted document, an old voice came from behind him.

Zhou Ning was slightly stunned, turned around, and saw an old man with gray hair, dry tobacco in his hand, and a blue cloth robe, looking at him with a smile in his eyes. Next to him, there was also a little girl wearing a pink skirt and two small pigtails, about eleven or twelve years old, carved in pink.

When the little girl saw him looking at her, she wrinkled her nose at him and grimaced, apparently eccentric.

Zhou Ning woke up and blocked the way into the teahouse, so he hurriedly got out of the way and bowed down to apologize.

The old man smiled at him, lifted his hem, and walked into the teahouse. The little girl followed suit.

Zhou Ning shook his head and smiled, changed his position, and continued to look at the second wanted document.

This pair of wanted documents is painted on a very ugly-looking horse-faced man, so long a horse face, this painter also used exaggerated techniques, on the man's face painted a lot of pockmarks, the painting is magical, and the low-profile version of Zhong Wanqiu.

This is too distinctive, Zhou Ning couldn't help laughing, and then naturally looked at the text below.

I saw that the following also wrote: "Zhu Chongba, the helmsman of the Jiangdu County Branch of the Ming Sect, and his accomplices infiltrated Yangzhou City to plot misdeeds and do many evils, and are now absconding, if you can provide information or help arrest the suspect, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Zhu Chongba......

Zhou Ning stood for a moment, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

This...... Isn't it Zhu Yuanzhang?

The self-made Hongwu Emperor who established the Ming Dynasty from scratch, was wise and martial, and was eloquent?

There have always been historians here, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang is actually from Mingjiao, and with the support of Mingjiao, he can use the south to control the north and unify the world, but there has been no evidence, and now the evidence is here, this guy is really Mingjiao......

However, even if a historian comes over, he wants a Muggle, and Zhu Yuanzhang in this time and space is a Mingjiao, but he didn't wait for the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he actually went to the end of the Sui Dynasty to make trouble, and was wanted by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Can people still have a good time in this world?

Zhou Ning complained in his heart for a while, looked at the weather, the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, thought about it, and walked into the teahouse to take shelter from the rain.

At this moment, a monk on the opposite road strode over, his washed gray monk's robe was soaked, and he smiled at Zhou Ning innocently, and followed him into the teahouse.

This teahouse is very large, divided into dozens of platforms, half of which are full, and the middle platform is very high, and an old man stands on it. Apparently he was telling a story, and next to him stood a beautiful little girl, who was the grandfather and grandson he had just met at the door.

Zhou Ning picked a place to sit down and ordered a cup of tea.

The monk followed, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully to the shopkeeper: "Donor, the little monk is thirsty on the road, and it is raining heavily on the road, and he wants to rest in the shop and ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

After the shopkeeper greeted Zhou Ning, he saw that the monk was dressed sloppily, and said a little impatiently: "Let's go, I don't have any water for you to drink here." ”

Zhou Ning saw that the monk was drenched, and he felt a little unbearable, so he said, "Shopkeeper, give this little master a cup of tea, and the account will be on me." ”

He beckoned to the monk and said, "Little master, if you don't dislike it, sit here with me." ”

This monk is twenty-two or three years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big flat nose, according to Zhou Ning, he is somewhat similar to Yue Yunpeng who sang "The Song of the Five Rings" in his previous life.

He folded his hands, thanked Zhou Ning, and thanked the shopkeeper, sat down opposite Zhou Ning honestly, and then held the tile bowl with both hands, lowered his eyes, and said respectfully: "The Buddha views a bowl of water, 84,000 insects, if you don't hold this mantra, it will be like eating the flesh of all living beings. Om Si Bo Lo Manisa Ha. ”

After reading it, he picked up the bowl and began to drink water.

Zhou Ning saw that he was quite reverent, and couldn't help but glance at him more.
