Chapter Eighty-Three: Yangcheng
There are always surprises.
When he was ten years old, Ah Umbrella had his own toys and picked them up.
After school, Ah Umbrella cleans the campus as usual, because in this way he can get a subsidy from the school. Then she saw a red thread hanging from a tree next to the playground, swinging in the wind, and she moved a chair and stood on it and took the red thread down.
Since then, she has had toys.
She has tried all the tricks that a red thread can play.
Zhao Erleng is a master of playing rope, to be precise, he can turn over all kinds of tricks with a red rope in his hand, what three, four, eight...... And what else is a flat knot, a double knot, a finch head knot...... Of course, pediatric games like rope flipping are no problem.
The reason why he plays so well is because his mother is a red rope seller.
But in this Yangcheng, where there are only men and a plain and solemn city, Zhao Erleng didn't dare to take out his red rope, he was laughed at was small, and being driven out of Yangcheng was big. His mother had already died, and he followed his master to this Yang City, if he was kicked out, he would be alone, and no one would know if he died one day.
Zhao Erleng went out early in the morning to fetch water, and his family lived in the corner of the city wall that meandered south from the city gate. When passing by the city gate, Zhao Erleng saw from a distance that there was a male cultivator with tied hair standing on the avenue to the east at the gate of Yangcheng, and his blue robe danced in the wind.
"Mother-in-law, this male slim board is like a girl's, if you come to Yangcheng to cultivate, you can't lose a layer of skin."
Shaking his head, Zhao Erleng walked away with two buckets, and after the water was fetched, he had to do daily repairs, and he had to listen to the big bald heads at night and chatter. Alas, it's been a long time since he's had time to play with red rope.
Ah Umbrella, who was standing five hundred meters away from Yangcheng, had a gloomy face at this time, an hour ago-
"I said... Umbrella girl, where are you going to complete the task of the division, why do I think I have been here before..."Jiufang suddenly appeared on the head of the white cat, the white cat moved his head, and continued to lie on the shoulders of Ah Umbrella, I really don't know how such a large mass of fat meat stabilized on Ah Umbrella's weak shoulders.
"Yangcheng."
"Yangcheng... Well!? Yang cheng!? Jiufang sighed, and suddenly raised his voice again, startling the white cat. Uncle Cat flicked his tail over. Shoot the nine directions away.
"Yes, Yangcheng. What's wrong? Ah Umbrella looked suspiciously at the nine directions that hung in front of him.
"Yangcheng in the west of Dongzhou... My little ancestor, why did you choose such a place? Jiufang chattered again.
It is said that the western part of Dongzhou is also known as the monk's land, and the reason is that there are the most Buddhist cultivators here. In addition to the requirement of Buddhist cultivation, there is a spiritual root. Pay more attention to understanding. Therefore, there are a lot of pure precepts. It is said to be the way to prevent the intrusion of foreign objects.
Where can girls stand this, so there are many male cultivators in the west, and Yangcheng is at the entrance of the west. Ah Umbrella came all the way, and he had never seen a monk yet.
Of course, monks must also have human rights, and they can also get married, eat meat and drink wine. But in Yangcheng, these things are absolutely not good, Yangcheng is the place of monks' cultivation and hardship. In it, it is forbidden to be close to women and greedy appetites; They have to suffer their minds, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, etc., even if it is a beautiful night, and a group of old men gather together to listen to the oldest guys preach and preach Zen.
To put it simply, no women are allowed in this Yang City, and Ah Umbrella can't enter.
Ah Umbrella now regrets why he didn't check the jade slip on the spot that day, but what's the use of checking it, the guy with the male and female appearance won't change it for her, and the situation has already been registered, and she has to complete it no matter what.
The task is actually very simple: to record the general layout of Yangcheng. It has been 10,000 years since the last time the situation in Yangcheng was recorded, and there must be a slight change in it, so the sect has re-ordered this task.
However, the umbrella can't get in, no matter how simple it is, it's useless.
"How can this be?" A mask appeared in Ah Umbrella's hand and said, "I can only disguise myself as a male cultivator." "With Jiufang here, she will definitely be able to hide her feminine aura.
"The positive artifacts in this Yang City are strong, if you encounter a negative rejection, you will be finished."
Ah Umbrella smiled: "Isn't there you Jiufang?" Just remind me when the time comes. ”
Jiufang proudly raised his head and wrapped himself around him.
When he entered the city, Ah Umbrella was followed by a fat cat that couldn't see its four paws but was moving slowly. There is no way, this thing is reluctant to enter the mustard seed space again, Jiufang said that if Ah Umbrella locks it in again, it will bite its tongue and kill itself.
The white cat has talked about this, and he knows that he won't bite his tongue and is embarrassed to put it in again. But he also threw it off his body, and suddenly the whole person was a lot lighter.
"Big man with a cat in his arms,."
Uncle Cat had no choice but to walk on his limbs that had not moved for a long time.
"What is the matter with Brother Dao entering the city?" The disciple guarding the door is still a teenager, he looks square, and at first glance he is a good material for being a monk, and he is asking questions meticulously.
Ah Umbrella looked bitter and said slowly: "My beloved Taoist monk ran away with others, so that he was depressed and could not be freed, so he came here from the East China Sea to listen to the preaching of the high monks in the city and untie the knot. ”
When the disciples heard this, they looked at Ah Umbrella's gaze with three points of sympathy, and they also deliberately rushed over from the East China Sea, which showed how deeply this person was hurt.
After receiving the spirit stone for entering the city paid by Ah Umbrella, and instructing her that the non-Qing cultivator must go out of the city within seven days, the disciples guarding the door saw that there was no one around, and quietly approached Ah Umbrella: "The night after tomorrow is Master Chengde's lecture, and he is the best at understanding the confusion of seven emotions and six desires." ”
Ah Umbrella thanked the gatekeeper disciple and took the white cat into the city, seeing the gatekeeper staring at the white cat, Ah Umbrella smiled reluctantly: "This is... I am reluctant to give up the love thing I have with her..."
The disciple of the gate became more sympathetic to Ah Umbrella, and said, "There is no place for outsiders to live in the city, so you can find an open space to rest along the city wall." ”
Thank you again, Ah Umbrella officially stepped into this men's city with a white cat.
Sure enough, it is Yangcheng, the city is full of positive yang energy, if you throw that guy with a male body and a female appearance here for a few years, he will definitely go to that twisted appearance completely.
There are temples and treasure halls in Yangcheng, there are no residential houses, and all the people who walk back and forth are shiny bald heads. Occasionally, there are some male cultivators with hair, whose faces are faintly painful, and I don't think they are used to the bitterness here.
A weak male cultivator like Ah Umbrella was naturally disdained by those Qing cultivation disciples.
Yangcheng is not big, it is enough to walk around in three days, but what is the use of this place Ah Umbrella is not knowing, after thinking about it, Ah Umbrella walked south along the city wall, first make a local friend, let him be a guide.
Ah Umbrella didn't expect that one day he would be able to make 'like-minded' friends by playing with flower ropes.
Zhao Erleng was stunned for a moment when he saw this blue-robed hair-bound male cultivator, so much so that he forgot to put away the red rope in his hand.
When he reacted and was about to put it away, the male cultivator said, "Are you playing with the flower rope?" ”
So the two of them went back and forth, fighting for half an hour, if it weren't for the afternoon cultivation to begin, Zhao Erleng would still be reluctant to leave.
"You only have half an hour to rest during the day? Do you still have to listen to Zen at night, and then you can practice when you come back? Ah Umbrella frowned, that wasn't good, she didn't have time to accompany her around Yangcheng.
However, you can write down the place first, and then ask Zhao Erleng.
After Zhao Erleng left, Ah Umbrella spread a futon next to his small shanty as a placeholder, and the male cultivators in the city couldn't like her small body, so they finally established a friendship with Zhao Erleng, but they had to make good use of it.
Calling the white cat, Ah Umbrella paced leisurely and began to swim up Yangcheng. (To be continued......)
