Chapter 31: To the Town
When the man heard this, he thought it was a good deal, so he said, "Then I want all of you rabbits, so weigh them immediately." β
Qingfeng and Bai Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, after all, this person not only looked wealthy, but also extremely atmospheric, and hurriedly weighed it.
Two rabbits, one three catties and four taels, and one five catties and seven taels. These two rabbits can be sold for eight taels of silver, what a joy.
It was almost noon, Qingfeng and Bai Jiaojiao decided to eat something at the market first, and went to buy medicine for Dong Mingxuan by the way.
Qingfeng took Bai Jiaojiao to the food street.
"Yiyi, it's almost noon, let's eat something first, we have money now." Qingfeng said happily.
"Brother, the money is not leaked, don't be so arrogant, if the money is lost, you will cry." Bai Jiaojiao was happy in her heart, but her face was calm.
"Alright, alright, let's have a bowl of hot noodle soup today." Qingfeng happily pulled Bai Jiaojiao and hurriedly walked towards the hot noodle soup stall.
Bai Jiaojiao has also eaten a lot of good things in modern times, but I don't know why she drools a little when she hears the word "hot noodle soup", probably because she hasn't eaten anything decent for a long time.
The food street is located at the east end of the market, the street is full of small stalls and vendors selling food, Qingfeng took Bai Jiaojiao to a hot noodle soup seller, asked for two bowls of hot noodle soup, and the two people sat at the table and waited.
The hot soup noodles are actually hand-rolled noodles, and the clear soup may have some pork bones added, a few splashes of oil, and then sprinkled with salt and green onions, although the simple ones could not be simpler, but when placed in front of them, they exude a fatal and tempting aroma.
The noodles are soft and firm when rolled by hand, and the unique aroma of white noodles lingers between the lips and teeth with the aroma of pork bones in the clear soup, and even the green onions floating on the noodles become refreshing and delicious.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at this bowl of hot noodle soup and almost drooled out.
Qingfeng began to bury his head and grunt and ate half a bowl.
"Brother, you eat slowly. What are you doing in such a hurry? And no one is robbing you. Bai Jiaojiao said, chewing and eating slowly.
"Oops, it's so delicious." Qingfeng said hurriedly, eating more quickly as he spoke.
In a short time, a whole bowl of hot noodle soup was eaten, and even the soup strips were eaten. stopped and waited slowly for Bai Jiaojiao.
It's a shame to eat all such delicious things at once! You have to taste it slowly to know the taste.
After paying the money, the two of them went to buy the medicine for Dong Mingxuan and went home.
"Yiyi, today is really a good day, we have made a lot of money today." Qingfeng said excitedly while walking, and touched the bag on his waist with his hand from time to time, Bai Jiaojiao was a little helpless, Qingfeng was still a little naΓ―ve, such behavior was afraid that others would not know that he had money in his arms.
"Yiyi, let's go back, my mother and father must be very happy, so that my father won't let us go out." Qingfeng said happily.
Qingfeng really wanted to work hard to support his family, but he didn't know why Dong Mingxuan didn't let him out. I hope Dong Mingxuan will be released soon, so that he can go to Meiwu Mountain.
When Bai Jiaojiao heard Qingfeng say this, she couldn't help but think of Meiwu Mountain. Thinking of Li Jingcheng, where did he go and leave, why did he never see him again, Bai Jiaojiao thought that she still had to hurry up and find a way to go to Meiwu Mountain, and subconsciously didn't want that person to disappear from now on.
"Donor, are you okay?" Seeing that Li Jingcheng didn't speak, the domain name master asked again.
"It's okay to have Master Lao to remember." Li Jingcheng pretended to be calm and said, listening carefully, you will hear a tremor in his voice.
The domain name master walked to the kang, put the water in his hand on the kang table, and meditated cross-legged.
"Donor, the old man wants to invite you to play a game of chess, I don't know if it's okay?" The domain closed his eyes and said, his tone did not fluctuate, as calm as the surface of water.
"The master laughed, and he wants the master to teach him!" As he spoke, he walked to the other side of the kang table and sat down.
Li Jingcheng set up the chessboard, "I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know if the master is okay?" β
The domain name master opened his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, he was no longer the impulsive teenager.
"The monk's state of mind is still the same, well!" After speaking, the domain master picked up the white piece in his hand and played it on the chessboard.
Li Jingcheng also followed, holding the sunspot in his hand, and surrounded and suppressed.
"Donor, my heart is turbulent, although I am good at chess, I am full of loopholes." Halfway down, the domain name guru said casually.
"The past is as close as the present, the old people are still there, and I feel a lot of emotion in my heart." Li Jingcheng said.
It's not the first time Li Jingcheng has played chess, he has known each other as early as ten years ago, when Li Jingcheng was still a teenager who needed to work hard by himself, taciturn, and the domain name master was one of his few friends who forgot his years.
Their acquaintance is still the person's recommendation.
"Brother Jingcheng, you're finally back, I'm dying of thirst, you won't come back." The little girl walked quickly in front of the boy and reached out to take the teapot in the boy's hand.
"You slow down, there are too many people outside, I searched for a long time to find water." The teenager explained.
The little girl hurriedly poured a cup of tea and drank it urgently, she was so thirsty. After drinking the water, the little girl put down the cup in her hand and exhaled a long breath.
"Brother Jingcheng, I suddenly remembered one thing, the presiding officer of this temple is a person who is deeply trusted by my father, and the Dharma is profound, it is almost the birthday of the queen mother, I want the master to chant for the queen mother." The little girl said.
"Then go find him!" The boy said, and pulled the little girl outside.
"Brother Jingcheng, don't worry! You don't know that the old monk is very strange, we will never see others in the past, that monk is good at chess in addition to Buddhism, and no one receives him on weekdays, even if he is invited by his father, he often refuses. The little girl said, with a sense of pity in her tone.
"What's the solution?" The boy stopped and looked back and asked.
"I don't know very well, but every time I enter the palace to preach the altar, my father will accompany him to play a few games of chess, and you also know that my father's chess skills are good, but he will still lose to the domain name master. I think the old monk must be very fond of playing chess!" The little girl said.
"It's a pity that when I was young, my favorite thing was to play chess, which was boring and boring." The little girl said with some dejection.
"Then let's go find a domain name master, although I am not good at chess, I still know a little bit about fur, and I can play a game with him." The boy said.
"Yes, how did I forget you, your chess skills were taught by my father himself." As he spoke, he happily pulled the boy and ran to the domain name master's law house.
"Donor, the presiding master is cultivating inside, and you can't be disturbed if you have nothing to do, please forgive me." As soon as I arrived at the door, I was stopped by a novice.
"Are you bold and don't know who I am?" When the little girl saw someone blocking the way, she rebuked loudly.
Shami was unmoved, still holding back.
Li Jingcheng saw that Na Shami was unmoved, so he opened his mouth to explain. "Little master, we are here to find the domain mage Chaodu, this is Princess Qingxue."
"Amitabha, be polite. Donor, the domain name mage has an explanation, and he hasn't seen a guest recently. Let's go back!" Xiao Shami said.
Li Jingcheng and Qingxue are about to give up. Suddenly came in and came out of it a middle-aged monk.
When the little novice saw this, he hurriedly saluted, "Master, these two donors will see the domain master." β
"Step aside, the host asked me to deal with this matter." The middle-aged monk said. Then he turned around and turned to Li Jingcheng and them.
"Amitabha! Donor, the master said that there will be two destined people today, and said that if you come, go in. The middle-aged monk said.
Li Jingcheng and Qingxue glanced at each other, and felt that they were indeed high monks, and they could know this.
"It's hard work!" Li Jingcheng said, and walked in with the middle-aged monk.
Li Jingcheng and Princess Qingxue followed the middle-aged monk to a room, and directly north of the room sat a statue of Manjushri. In the west, there is a large Buddhist character written on the wall of a kang. On the kang sat a meditating old monk with a white beard and slightly closed eyes.
The middle-aged monk led the man into the house. He said to the old monk sitting on the kang.
"Master host, I've brought someone here, do you have any other orders?"
The old monk was still meditating, and he didn't even raise his eyes, but just hummed softly, and the middle-aged monk retreated.
The room was very silent for a while, Li Jingcheng and Qingxue looked at the old monk sitting on the kang, and after a while, the domain name master opened his eyes. He glanced at the boy and girl opposite.
Breaking the silence in the room, he said: "What the donor entrusts, the poor monk can't achieve. β
When Qingxue heard this, she was a little angry in her heart and hurriedly said: "Master, if you have any orders, you can say whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will do it, I just ask you to do a ritual for my mother." β
Unmoved, the domain master closed his eyes again.
Seeing this, Li Jingcheng said, "I heard that the master is good at chess, and I want to see one or two of them, and I hope that the master will give me advice." β
Hearing this, the domain name master opened his eyes and carefully looked at the young man in front of him, although he was young, he could still see his future demeanor. Xiao Xiaobai became very persistent and steady.
The domain name master didn't say much, turned around and pulled the kang table to the middle, and motioned for Li Jingcheng to sit over, Qingxue saw that the domain name master had changed his attitude, so he excitedly pushed Li Jingcheng to sit over.
There is an endgame on the chessboard, which is shocking to watch, and it is more like a game of life and death.
Li Jingcheng just glanced at it and didn't hesitate anymore, and sat down in front of the chessboard. You have to try everything to find out, and although this game is shocking to watch, it's nothing more than that.
"The donor's heart is full of knots, and only by calming down and seeing where the flaws are, can the inner movement be lifted." What the domain guru said.
When Li Jingcheng heard the domain master say this, his heart was shocked, and his pupils contracted slightly. It is said that the master of this domain name has profound Buddhism, and sure enough, just looking at the face has become a poke.
"The Master's Dharma is profound, and he has been taught below. I hope that the master can guide the maze. Li Jingcheng said sincerely.
The domain master didn't speak, just raised his hand and took another step with the chess piece.
Li Jingcheng slowly closed his eyes, he hadn't remembered these things for a long time, but when the old people and old things that had been in his eyes reappeared, the memories seemed to suddenly break through the floodgates, and all the uncontrollable ones came out.
"I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know if the donor's chess skills have improved." Domain name says.
"Maybe it's going to make the master laugh, I haven't played chess for years." Li Jingcheng said.
When I heard Li Jingcheng say this, I regretted that Li Jingcheng was very talented, and he had a relationship with Buddhism, but he was just making people worse.
The two of them sat down quietly, playing chess, and occasionally heard the sound of wooden fish and chanting, but it was also extraordinarily quiet.
Bai Jiaojiao thought of a way to make money, that is, to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
The last time I went to town, there were mushrooms in the clear soup noodles that Qingfeng bought, and the mushroom stewed hen at noon today made Bai Jiaojiao see the mushrooms again. As long as someone eats such a thing, someone buys it, and then someone sells it.
Bai Jiaojiao has no money now, so she can only save from these things that don't require capital. However, it hasn't rained much lately, and I don't know if there are any mushrooms in the mountains. A few days ago, she had seen it with Qingfeng in the deep mountains, but she didn't know what was going on near this mountain pass.
