"Master, it's all to blame the cheap slave for not being useful, exposing his horse's feet, and causing trouble for his master." "Hmph, I've warned you, be careful, be careful. As a result, you dog slave still caused me trouble, and I would have beaten you to death because you had served my royal family for two generations."

In a manor on the outskirts of Cangfang Town, and in a palatial house, Li Chen had seen the old man before, the old man who came to borrow money, and the old man who couldn't borrow money and spilled it was now kneeling on the ground, like an arhat bed and asking for guilt.

"The master is angry, angry." , the old man was so pitiful that he kept kowtowing on the ground, "Hmph. Dog slave," the man on the Luohan's bed was still angry, so he picked up the tea bowl and threw it at his head, beating the old man to the point where his head was bleeding. The old man didn't seem to feel it, but he kept kowtowing.

Seriously, it's not that the Japanese love to kowtow. If it's a pure Japanese-style tatami mat, or like it is now, sit on the arhat bed, a chair that can be reclined and sitting. It's not so much kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, but it's almost like bending over.

After all, when a person sits on a couch or an arhat bed, he is immediately half shorter. If you just bend down and apologize, it's just good to show people a skull, how rude. Are you going to give someone a bad shot, or are you coming to apologize?

It was after the Song Dynasty, high tables and chairs began to become popular, if you kneel down and kowtow, it will be too low, and there is a feeling of inferiority.

"Lang Jun, just forgive him, Chen Gong didn't mean it." Just as the master was about to continue to smash him, a woman's voice came from behind the hall and stopped him.

"If he didn't mean it, then he just didn't use his brain." , roared for a while, this master probably lost his anger, "It's useless to kill him now, it's better to make up for it quickly."

"Master, slave..." "Get out, why wait until you do it, my family has already been ruined." "Gong Chen, you go down and bandage it first, see you're bleeding." "Thank you, lady." , this old man didn't want to touch his brows anymore, so he left with a thousand thanks.

"What now?" In the future, we should not borrow again, anyway, over the years, we have taken out the temple and lent money, and we have gained a lot. I also bought quite a few fields. Why don't you just.'" , said the woman in the back hall.

"No, you don't have to worry about this, I have my own opinions." , Tang Qiande master said with a gloomy face, "It's just a tent room, just do his duty honestly, but you have to be nosy."

"Where's Bao'er? I've been studying lately, but I'm still serious." After the man finished talking about these foreign affairs, he turned his head and asked about the housework, "Very well, I didn't bring him, you can go back and see him." "Go together, go together. I can't go out at will, and I won't be able to see him for a while."

didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, and Li Chen was happily driving the ox cart down the mountain. After coming and going so much, he more or less learned to drive cattle.

"Thirteen, Thirteen, you're telling a story." , Li Chen was lazily driving the ox cart, and he was annoying on the side.

"Thirteen Lang, is there really a merman, will their tears really turn into pearls? If I meet a merman, as long as he gives me a few tears, A-Niang can live a good life."

Li Chen just told Fan a story about the merman crying pearls, which is a traditional Chinese mythological story, and the mermaid is a mermaid. Legend has it that there is a mermaid in the South China Sea, and when she cries, her tears turn into pearls. This story comes from, and it also has it.

"Haha, you little novice, you would want a merman. I see that the time has come for you to start a family.'" "Starting a family? The abbot said, "We are monks, we can't get married." , Looking at Fan's inexplicable look, Li Chen laughed.

"Okay, let's tell a merman story. If there is good, there will be bad. Legend has it that on the side of the Great Qin Kingdom, there is also a kind of merman in the sea, but it is an evil merman. They all have a sweet appearance and sing very well, and all mermaids are very good at singing, but this evil merman will use his sweet singing voice to attract ships to dangerous seas, and when the ships hit the rocks, they will eat the sailors who have fallen into the sea."

"Eat... Eat, it's too bad. Why do they eat people?' "Where is there anything, and what is so much under the heavens? Do you dare to ask for a mermaid like this?' "Okay, someday I'm going to find those wicked mermaids?" Ambition is great.

"What do you do?" "Influence them with the Dharma, and then they will not eat people, but will give human pearls." Li Fan said seriously, but Li Chen almost planted the ox cart, "You want pearls so much?" "Because A-Niang has a string of pearl bracelets, which is very precious. It's A-Niang who gets the dowry... In order to make me a monk, Ah Niang reluctantly sold it."

Li Chen touched Fan's head, "Okay, I'll tell you another story." "Yay!" "Brought the water bladder, didn't look at it, didn't you see that I told the story for a long time, and my mouth was dry?" Suddenly, Li Chen found himself a little tragic.

As a traverser, he doesn't have any immediate ability to make a fortune now, but instead tells stories, one after another. No way, he's been an otaku who loves to read stories before.

I watched romance in middle school, and martial arts novels and some Western literary masterpieces in high school. said that it was a famous book, but in fact, it was some novels, which were too ideological for him to read. When I went to college and went out of society, I read it as an online novel.

As a result, he traveled through the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that he could not use much historical knowledge. On the contrary, novels, stories, and romances have to be remembered one after another.

However, it cannot be said that these stories, novels and romances are useless. At least, he relied on these things, and he was quite popular in the Longevity Temple, and the schoolchildren liked him, and many novices and monks loved to listen to him tell stories in their spare time.

He can say a lot, a thousand and one nights from the West, Aesop prophesied, traditional Chinese folk tales, he can tell one or two, whether it is a fairy tale or a legend, or a ghost story, he has a family background to fall.

The ox cart swayed to the town of Cangfang, Li Chen drove to the tailor's shop first, because summer was coming, and he had to start sewing summer clothes for the monks, so today Li Chen took this messenger and sent the cloth to the tailor's shop.

"It's not easy to be a good monk, because you live in peace in the winter, and you have to settle down in the summer, and you live in peace all year round." The guy was busy sending the cloth into the warehouse, and Li Chen was talking to Lifan on the side, "I really want to become a qualified bhikshu as soon as possible, so that I can go out and travel."

"The other monks in the monastery, they can go out, why don't they go out?" "Get used to it, some of the senior brothers haven't been out for a few years, and many of them go as far as the town." , Lifan said helplessly.

"Doctor, serve us two bowls of rope bread." After counting the cloth, Li Chen took everyone who was used to going to the wine shop and asked for two nights of cakes.

"Wait a minute, you'll be fine when you go home by yourself." , because he had to live in peace for a few more months, he was a little homesick, so Li Chen took him home to have a look. Normally, in order not to cause trouble to Fan, Fan's mother will not go to the temple to see him.

"Yes, I'll be back later." Soon, the Doctor brought two large hot bowls. The so-called suo cake is actually just noodle soup.

The soup noodles are very simple, that is, green onion and leek noodles, green onions float on top of the soup, and there are leeks in the soup, and there are pieces of things floating in the soup that are commonly known as cat ears in modern times. Li Chende is relatively rich, in addition to chopped green onions, there are also chicken and eggs, which are called parent-child noodles in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as noodles, and all noodle products were uniformly called cakes, and soup noodles should actually be called soup cakes. However, there are different names in different places, and the practices are not the same.

There are Butuo, Suo Cake, Soup Cake, Water Cake, this kind of name, the style is not fixed, there are like Li Chen, they eat like cat ears, and there are also the kind of noodles that we are familiar with, one by one.

"Li 13 is here, talk quickly, we are all in a hurry." , full, not enough. Li Chen watched Fan leave, and then sat behind a table specially prepared for him by the store, and several guests shouted in a hurry.

"What's the hurry. Don't you see that the people are not full? Wait.' , Li Chen was not in a hurry, and he didn't care about the shouting of the guests, he drank the wine sent by the store and poured himself a drink, so happy. The doctor in the store hurriedly ran out.

What is Li Chen doing? Actually, it's nothing, it's just storytelling. At the time of the Tang Dynasty, entertainment venues such as Washe in the Song Dynasty had not yet risen, so where was the largest entertainment venue? Women's branch, wipe, go every day, and I'm not afraid of exhausting people.

In the Tang Dynasty, the biggest entertainment place was the temple..., there were teahouses and wine shops in the Tang Dynasty, but the kind of storytelling and performance in the tea houses and wine shops to entertain everyone, this kind of atmosphere has not yet been formed. Even like the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was specially used for people to listen to the opera, and the theater garden was even more useless to listen to and hear about the story.

In this era, the temple completely replaced the above functions, so the temple will be especially lively during the New Year's holidays. Devotees come to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and then they can watch the performance by the way. Or in other words, I came to see the performance.

This is still the reason why the longevity temple is relatively remote, and the town of Cangfang is not very big. If some big temples in the world, such as Chang'an, Yangzhou and other places, it is even more lively. It has become a fixed entertainment place, called a theater. If you want to have a name, let's say call it the Longevity Temple Theater.

These theaters have gotten rid of the pattern of appearing only during the New Year's holidays, and there are often various performances on which side they appear, all kinds of singing and dancing, juggling, and military plays. Even, in a larger place, not to mention performances, you can even play kemari and polo.

To put it simply, the temple is currently the entertainment center of the Tang Dynasty. And Li Chen is a little bit of a thief of the rice bowl of the Longevity Temple. But the monks don't care. After all, this market is big.
