Chapter 22: I met my peers
Outside Jincheng City, the yellow sand is all over the sky.
Sun Lei's eyes were suspicious, he didn't expect Tang Seng to lose his Jinlan robe, but fortunately he met the key boss in the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulty, Elder Jinchi, although this Elder Jinchi did not honestly stay in Guanyin Temple and wait for the arrival of the Journey to the West team, but he also appeared on the way for Tang Seng to travel west.
Since the Golden Pool Elders have all appeared, then the black blind man must also be around here.
Tang Seng's face was also cloudy, obviously having a very bad impression of this Jinchi Elder who had not yet met. It is okay to set up an altar to beg for rain and deceive the ignorant people, but in front of a monk like him, it is obvious that this Elder Jinchi is a liar of real value.
"Let's go, go with the teacher to meet this Elder Jinchi!"
Seeing Tang Seng striding into the city gate with Long Aoxue, Sun Lei no longer thought about what the catastrophe was this time, and hurriedly quickened his pace and chased after him.
。。。。。。
Entering this earthen city called Jincheng, Sun Lei hurriedly glanced at it, and then found that the scene in the city was really bleak.
There are no vendors on the street, no steaming buns at the door of the shops, no gorgeously dressed boys in the arms store, and no charming girls at the window on the second floor of Yihong Courtyard.
In a word, this golden town seems to be a desolate frontier town.
It's just that although this place no longer belongs to Datang, as the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, and there is a strong country like Datang next door, even if you collect some tolls on the avenue, it is also to collect money and receive hand cramps!
Sun Lei really can't understand that the city lord of Jincheng Town, who occupies such a treasure land of feng shui, actually let the GDP here fall like this, he is really a mediocre official!
After walking for a long time, he didn't see a few figures, Sun Lei couldn't help but wonder: "Where did everyone go?" ”
Tang Seng, who was walking in front, said lightly: "It should all be there." ”
At this time, Tang Seng's expression was cold, and in Sun Lei's opinion, this bald donkey should be very unhappy.
Sun Lei looked forward and vaguely saw a large group of people not far in front of him, not knowing what he was looking at. After walking in, he realized that there were really a lot of people gathered here, and after a little counting, there were almost hundreds of people, and it seemed that the people of the whole city were here.
"Wow! Youkai! ”
Not surprisingly, when someone looked back and saw Sun Lei's appearance, they immediately jumped to their feet in fright. The crowd that was still moving forward also turned around because of this monster.
"Youkai!"
"Monsters have entered the city to eat people~"
"Run!!"
Like the people in the back, the people in front of them immediately dispersed in a daze when they saw a large humanoid monkey in human clothes and a fierce face.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, the things inside also appeared in front of Sun Lei, Tang Seng, and Long Aoxue. A huge wooden platform that had been almost erected, with guards holding swords standing in the four corners, and then in the middle was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe and a monk's hat, walking back and forth with words in his mouth, as if looking for something.
This middle-aged monk is not very old, only in his early forties, although he is wearing a robe, but in Sun Lei's eyes, he does not have the feeling of being a monk, but has a unique copper smell on the businessman.
"This is the Golden Pond Elder of the Guanyin Academy?" Seeing the only monk on the wooden platform, Sun Lei was surprised.
may be a preconceived notion, so according to Sun Lei's assumption, this Tianchi elder must at least be a man of ancient age with white hair, and he will not be the image of the young and strong middle-aged monk in front of him at all.
Jinsha, who was praying for rain tomorrow and measuring the land of feng shui, heard the noisy sound from the audience, and couldn't help but stop his movements with an unhappy face.
As a master who was invited by the city lord of Jincheng to pray for rain for the people of Jincheng City, Jinsha's identity is extremely mysterious in the eyes of everyone. After all, the monk who can open the altar to pray for rain is not the kind of monk in the temple who can only recite scriptures and eat fasting, but a mage with magical powers.
Calling for wind and rain, this is a skill that only legendary immortals have. Therefore, after Jinsha came to Jincheng Town in this small country in the Western Regions from Guanyin Temple, he was immediately worshiped by the people of the whole city, and it can be said that his status has been higher than that of Jinsha City Lord.
It is difficult to make money this year, although he is the host of the Guanyin Temple, he can enjoy the incense money offered by believers on weekdays, but for Jinsha, this incense money is not enough to buy a beautiful woman in the Western Regions, especially his Guanyin Temple is still located in the middle of nowhere, and it is impossible to attract more believers. So this makes Jinchi, who is bent on living a life of fine clothes and jade food, how can he be willing!
Originally, Jin Chi was just an ordinary monk, except for a few superficial kung fu and a few scriptures, he had no other skills. However, when he went into the mountains one day to collect medicine, he met a friend who changed his fate.
Jincheng City is not the first place where he opened an altar to pray for rain, before that, he and his friend teamed up to open an altar in several surrounding towns to pray for rain, and at this time, the elder Jinchi of Guanyin Academy is already a little famous, and no one does not know that he is a high-ranking monk. Of course, what the people of these towns didn't know was that the so-called drought and praying for rain were just a scene that he and his friend had put together. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the drought to accumulate a lot of money.
In less than a month, he and his friend made a lot of money, not only did his Guanyin Temple renovate, but even his friend's cave house was extremely luxuriously decorated.
However, there are two if there is one, and there are three if there is two, especially after making money, and you want to make more money.
Although the drought created by Jinchi's friend starved many people to death, compared to his fame and wealth, what about a few mud legs? So after receiving the invitation of the city lord of Jincheng, Jinchi and his friend immediately came here non-stop, ready to make a lot of money.
Seeing that the sun is going to be three poles, as long as Jin Chi pretends to be for a while, you can call it a day and go back to enjoy it, I didn't expect something to go wrong at this time, I don't know when there was a young monk with clear eyebrows and a beautiful girl carved in pink and jade, and there is one. Well, it's a monkey thing no matter how you look at it.
Compared to the big monkey in the shape of a monster, Jinsha actually cared more about the young monk with an extraordinary bearing. Maybe it was because of the competition in the industry, and subconsciously he thought that this young monk was here to compete with him for a job. Just thinking of his monk, Jin Sha couldn't help but calm down and said: "Amitabha, this junior brother, I don't know which temple to practice?" ”
Tang Seng looked at Jinsha who was standing on the stage and asked him questions, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't expect that the middle-aged monk on the stage was really a real monk.
Subconsciously, Tang Seng folded his hands and saluted back: "Tang Sanzang of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, I have seen my senior brother." ”
"The monks of the Tang Dynasty?"
Jinsha was shocked, he didn't expect the other party's level to be so high. Although he is the host of the family, compared with those fellow students of the Tang Dynasty, he is undoubtedly a head shorter, who makes the country where his family is located the first power in the world!
A trace of inadvertent jealousy flashed in his eyes, and Jinsha also replied: "Guanyin Temple presiding over Jinsha has seen my junior brother." ”
It's still a host!
Tang Seng was also taken aback.
He didn't expect that the other party was not only a monk like him, but also the host of a temple, so there were obviously some discrepancies in what he had analyzed before, after all, no matter how he said it, this senior brother Jinsha was also the host of the temple, how could he do something ignorant to the people?
Tang Seng began to doubt himself, but Sun Lei on the side did not doubt the character of this Jinsha Elder at all, because of the jealousy that flashed in Elder Jinsha's eyes just now, he could see it clearly, although there was nothing wrong with this Jinsha Elder on the surface, but according to this so-called opening the altar to pray for rain, it can be seen that this guy is obviously not a good monk.
