Chapter 7: A Terrible Torrent

Syllable!

As the storyteller in his hand fell, the final tone fell.

There was a round of cheers in the Xu Ji Teahouse.

This case has twists and turns, and the direct call makes people listen to it happily.

On the other hand, at a table near the railing in the corner, a guest sat alone, out of place and quiet in the noisy environment around him.

This person is wearing a plain white robe, with a dark blue brocade belt around his waist, fine skin and tender meat, and ruddy blood and blood, like a rich boy and a young man.

But he has short hair, like a monk.

People are not monks, scholars are not scholars, while sipping the tea in the front of the Ming Dynasty in their hands, while listening attentively to the storytelling.

The teahouse maid walked to the side of the prince with a pot of tea, and said enviously: "Prince Jin'an, the corner of today's storyteller, but what about you." ”

A few black lines hung down on Jin An's forehead: "Eight feet tall, eight feet wide, and a dignified body, it is a cold weapon with undried blood in the hands of the rivers and lakes." ”

"I'm human!"

"I just want to be a flesh-and-blood living person!"

The little guy continued to flatter and said: "All this is not because of the courage of the prince of Jin'an, so the people spread the more and more you of the prince of Jin'an, it is also reasonable." ”

"You are famous in our entire Chang County this time. ”

"I've heard that now many rich daughters, the deep boudoirs of the old men in the yali, are all favored by the son of Jin'an, and the family Ding is asking around for your news, all of which want to invite you to enjoy the Qingming Festival in January on the day of Qingming Day, the most lively Qingming temple fair in Chang County in a year. ”

When Jin An heard this, he suddenly became interested.

Of course, he is not interested in the rich daughters and official ladies who are fair-skinned, beautiful, and good-looking, and wants to covet their bodies.

Instead, he is interested in the most lively temple fair of the year in Nachang County.

This was the first grand meeting of the ancients he encountered after crossing over.

It will be very lively.

Say whatever you want to see the pomp and circumstance.

He used to like travel and scenery, all kinds of places of interest, otherwise he would not have traveled all the way from the south to Kunlun Mountain for a self-driving trip.

Jin An asked the teahouse boy: "Is this temple fair famous in Chang County?"

The teahouse maid said proudly while giving Jin An the cassia tea before the Qingming Festival: "If you want to talk about the temple fair in our Chang County, it is famous for a hundred miles, and there will be many sons, talents, and deep ladies from all over the world, who will come from all over the world to participate in the temple fair." ”

I don't know if it's because of the water and soil, or the alternation of the seasons before and after the Qingming Festival, Jin'an is a little hot and inflamed during this time, so I like to drink cassia tea in the teahouse.

Cassia tea efficacy, dispelling wind, clearing the liver and eyes, moistening the intestines and laxative.

As soon as the teahouse guy talked about the Qingming temple fair, he continued to introduce it with a proud face: "Speaking of our Chang County, there is a thousand-year-old tree, which is a green willow. ”

"No one knows the specific age of this tree, the age is older than my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, the trunk is thicker than five or six big men, it is recorded in the county records alone for thousands of years, it is the sacred tree of Chang County. ”

This thousand-year-old green money willow, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the green shade covers the sky like a treasure umbrella, the trees are tall and straight, its fruit is beautiful and the shape is peculiar, such as a string of copper coins, so it is also called the copper money tree, the money tree, and goes to the fame. The copper coin fruit will be hung on the tree from September to April next year before the summer, swaying in the wind, unique, from a distance, it seems to be hanging all over the sky copper coin shining, so it attracts so many talented and beautiful people to come to Chang County to participate in the Qingming temple fair. ”

"Because only on the day of the Qingming Temple Fair, the Wenwu Temple will be open to the other party, allowing visitors to enjoy the sacred tree. In order to protect the sacred tree, it is usually closed to the public. ”

After listening to the introduction of the teahouse, Jin An suddenly became interested.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder. ”

"I will definitely see such a magical cash cow at the Qingming Temple Fair a month later. ”

Jin An smiled and rewarded the little guy with a few coppers, and suddenly made the little guy smile.

After the teahouse boy put away the reward, he became more attentive: "Speaking of this thousand-year-old green money willow sacred tree, there is also a legend, it is said that people who have seen the sacred tree, some people will lead the God of Wealth into the door and attract wealth and treasure." ”

"This matter, in the last ten years, the more and more mysterious, every year there are people who get rich overnight, I heard the old people in the family say, before this millennium green money willow sacred tree has not been so miraculous, is ten years ago one night, the bronze money fruit of the green money willow overnight into the bronze money fruit, the sacred tree can lead the God of Wealth into the door, the fortune into the treasure said, only began to spread slowly in Chang County. ”

Therefore, every Qingming temple fair in the past ten years will attract more and more foreign tourists to participate in the temple fair every year, all with the dream of making a fortune, especially the most wealthy businessmen. ”

"The temple fair is only a year a year, and the prince of Jin'an should not miss the opportunity. ”

The more the teahouse guy talked, the more his eyebrows danced, and the folk temple fair became a strange rumor in his mouth.

"Then you're going to get rich?" Jin An asked.

The teahouse boy smiled: "That's not true." ”

Jin An smiled, he already understood.

Folk rumors can't escape the three laws of true fragrance:

Reputedly......

Legend......

It seems like......

Looking at the back of the teahouse guy turning around and leaving with the teapot in his hand, Jin An's eyes showed great interest.

A night of wonder?

Bronze coin fruit turned into bronze coin fruit overnight?

Does it mean that this thousand-year-old tree has a genetic mutation?

People only know that animals have genetic mutations, and the common images are albinism, albino foxes, albino apes, albino cattle, etc......

But plants also have vitality, and plants, like humans, breathe the spirit of breathing the air of heaven and earth, plants can also be painful, and plants will also have genetic mutations.

It's like those so-called compassionate vegetarians, who are just self-deceitful people who hide their ears and steal the bell.

Thinking that without seeing the pain of bleeding and slaughter, the plant is not life. Isn't it ridiculous?

A thousand-year-old tree with a genetic mutation?

Hung full of bronze coins?

Jin An came to be interested.

......

Today, it has been two days since Jin'an arrived in Chang County.

On that day, he buried the Taoist priest under the old pine tree and went down the mountain, and then he really met the scholar and the old man who was going to Chang County on the official road, because the road was muddy and difficult to drive after the rain, and he planned to stay in a nearby village for one night, but he encountered a murder.

After he solved the case, he was favored by the county magistrate of Chang County and entertained by the banquet, and also asked the rich squires who participated in the banquet to raise three hundred taels of silver reward for him.

It's cheap.

There is not much pressure on housing, there are no war-torn displaced people, and the people have a lot of money in their hands, so inflation is not serious.

The annual expenses of a family of four are about twenty taels to twenty-three taels of silver.

Three hundred taels of silver bounty is about a million in modern times.

Since experiencing the coffin temple, the horn urn, and the Taoist Wangqi, Jin An knows that this world is different from the world of the ancients in his impression. So he abandoned the brocade clothes and jade food at the beginning, drunk and dreamed of death, and had a little beauty and little maid to warm the bed every day.

He has been sitting in this teahouse for the past two days.

It is not only to listen to books, listen to anecdotes from all over the world, and understand the customs here.

It is also a general geographical map to understand the world through the merchants who come and go.

Therefore, Jin An, who is an old customer, has long been familiar with the owner of this teahouse and the little guys.

Jin An thought at first that he was back in ancient times, but in the past two days, he found that the customs and cultural history here did not match any dynasty in history.

Kang Dingguo, he had never heard of this ancient dynasty.

......

The sky is gradually getting dull.

Night falls.

The armor at the gate of the city began to prepare to close the gate and no longer let people into the city.

After nightfall today, the county government of Changxian County was not at peace, and there was a big case of private possession of gunpowder in Chang County, and this case was no longer under the jurisdiction of a small Chang County.

Just when Zhang County ordered in the county government of Chang County, anxiously waiting, the banquet set up had already let the next person hot the dish twice, and he still hadn't waited for the person, and the panicked footsteps broke the night.

A servant hurried to the county office with two jailers, especially the two jailers with pale faces as if they had been frightened.

"Lord Prefectural, it's not good, it's dead!

"That Li Dashan, who secretly hid gunpowder, is dead, he, he died too weirdly, too evil! Hurry up and go to the cell to take a look, now the prisoners in the cell are clamoring to change places, and there is evil trouble in the cell!"
