Chapter 676: Seeking Tang Monk (1)
Lan came to report on time, and under the guidance of Xiao Yumeng, he quickly became familiar with his teammates, especially with several female players and Yu Chengcheng and other "family members".
Lan did not hide her true identity, she is a rich second generation on Earth, and she is also an only daughter, she is the heart of her parents, and she is a typical princess. It's just that she likes to use martial arts since she was a child, learned taekwondo when she was a child, and when she grew up, she began to be obsessed with cold weapons, and she also asked too high a finger. Probably because of this relationship, after entering the trial ground, he will be judged as a strength elder. However, she met a captain who was cautious and lacked courage, and only pursued passing each trial, not the completion rate, and although she had made it all the way to the present, she did not have enough income to arm herself, so that Arashi, who was supposed to be talented, could not grow enough. In the main quest, they encountered an accident, many members were killed, the captain also died, and the team was forced to disband, and the surviving Arashi and Hunting Knife were temporarily deducted because of their attributes, and their strength dropped significantly, resulting in the weak team They were unwilling to be cannon fodder, and the strong team was unwilling to take them in as a burden, and then they had no chance to clear the customs with the team. This time it's really out of line, and even the team in Huaxia Field is almost gone, and it took a storm to get a fight.
Of course, Luo Han knew the situation, and he didn't expect her to play much of a role in this scene. After all, in terms of attributes alone, Arashi is worse than Jinke. Although Jinke's teammates are all dead, he is the captain anyway, and his foundation is much higher than Lan's, even if he deducts a lot, it is enough to compete with ordinary trialists, and Lan's current strength is not worth looking forward to at all, otherwise no one will want it.
Time continued to pass, and finally, Tang Seng and his apprentices entered the territory of Qin, and the final stage of the main quest in this scene was about to begin.
In the evening, Tang Seng and his entourage and Bailongma rested in a village, and an old man received them very warmly and was willing to let them stay overnight. After a short rest, the old man brought a sumptuous meal and invited the four of them to enjoy it.
Tang Seng looked at this scene, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The donor is too polite, the poor monks and apprentices are just passing by for the night, why spend so much?" ”
When the old man heard this, he laughed and said, "Didn't the elder think that the little old man specially prepared extra meals in order to entertain the elders?" This place is called the Great Qin Empire, recently the emperor reduced taxes and encouraged production, but all the farmers who are free of illness and disease, and are willing to work hard, are quite wealthy. Although Xiao Lao'er can't eat so much on weekdays, it is normal for relatives to come and go. The elders are guests from afar, and they should be treated as such. ”
Tang Seng was surprised: "When did there become a Great Qin Empire here?" ”
The old man explained: "Elder doesn't know, it's not surprising, my Great Qin Empire was founded only four or five years ago, and the predecessor of the White Lion Kingdom was just a small isolated city, and it only emerged twenty years ago, gradually unifying the surrounding countries and forming today's prosperous power. Xiao Lao'er can be regarded as catching up with a good time, when he was young, this was still a Changmo country, although he was barely able to make a living at that time, it was common to be hungry twice a day. Now it's good, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, even in the event of a natural disaster, the court will also provide relief in time, so that you don't have to worry about your life. ”
Tang Seng praised: "Presumably, this monarch of the Qin State is also the lord of great talent, and it is really a blessing for the people." ”
Sun Wukong interjected: "Master, have you ever remembered that many prosperous countries along the way have the support of the demon clan, and your old man has been taken away by those demon clans several times, Master. ”
Tang Seng waved his hand and said: "Although they have been taken away as teachers, they are not big traitors, and it is not a bad thing to let the people live a good life." ”
Zhu Bajie held his big belly and stuffed food into the pig's mouth, and said: "Master is right, it's not right for those monsters to kidnap Master, but they don't do evil on weekdays, don't kill people and set fires, and it's not too bad." ”
"Hmph~" Sun Wukong turned his head, picked up a steamed bun and bit it, he knew very well in his heart that in the entire scripture learning team, except for himself and Tang Seng, other people didn't care whether they got the true scriptures or not. Zhu Bajie is because of the problem of keeping the precepts, and his thoughts have been swaying for a long time, but Monk Sha has another hidden secret, as for Xiao Bailong, he knows that his status will not be high in the West Heaven, so he is not interested. Only Sun Wukong, in order to make meritorious contributions, if he fails to learn from the experience, most of them will be re-suppressed, and he will never want to live that day again.
The old man said at this time: "The elders don't say it, the little old man almost forgot." If you encounter a monster in your own country, you must be careful to distinguish it, and if you have not harmed you, you must not be rude to them. ”
Sun Wukong was a little impatient and asked, "Why is this?" ”
The old man said: "There is a storm mountain in my country, and there is a storm cave on the mountain, which governs tens of thousands of demon clans in the surrounding area. In the early years, there were many kings of the Storm Cave Mansion who served as national teachers in the dynasty, and later corpse plagues broke out in various places, and it was also the Storm Cave Mansion that sent demon soldiers to clean it up, saving countless lives. In addition, the demon clan of the Storm Cave Mansion is strictly disciplined and never harms the people, and the people respect them very much, and in some places there are even temples dedicated to several kings of the Storm Cave Mansion. Usually, if a demon clan hurts someone, the government will go directly to the Storm Cave Mansion, and the Storm Cave Mansion will come forward to severely punish the murderer. If he was killed by the demon clan because of active provocation, he would be asking for his own hardship. ”
Zhu Bajie said: "I can't imagine that this Great Qin is still a place where demons coexist peacefully. If my old pig can't get the scriptures, I can consider settling here. ”
Sun Wukong patted Zhu Bajie's head and scolded: "Idiot! What nonsense? According to my old grandson's guess, this Storm Cave Mansion is only afraid that it is the same as those monsters in front of it, and it is also waiting to catch the master to absorb the luck of Na Laoshizi, so you have to take good precautions. ”
The old man said unhappily: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? In vain, I was kind enough to entertain you, but you slandered the demon clans of the Stormwind Cave Mansion. ”
Tang Seng waved his hand and said, "Old man, you misunderstood, don't listen to this monkey's nonsense." My Buddha Pudu sentient beings, since the demon clan of this Storm Cave Mansion is bent on goodness, they must also be good demons, and the poor monks believe that they will not be unfavorable to us. ”
"Master......"
"Wukong, Hugh has to talk nonsense again." Tang Seng interrupted Sun Wukong's words and didn't let him offend the old man again. Although the old man was not very happy, he was also embarrassed to drive them away now, so he had to leave under the pretext.
"Brother Monkey, look at you, you have made people angry." Zhu Bajie is the master who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and at this time he stimulates Sun Wukong while eating.
Sun Wukong had to scratch his ears and cheeks, glared at Zhu Bajie, and was so frightened that he turned his head and muffled himself to eat.
Monk Sha, who had been silent, said, "Senior Brother is right. Back then, I had dealt with the Cold Wind Demon King of the Storm Cave Mansion in the Quicksand River, and he was in the same group as several of the Demon Kings we had encountered. I was caught by them in Fengming City, and I almost lost my life. ”
Tang Seng thought about it and said: "Everything has cause and effect, if this calamity is a necessary calamity, you can't hide from it." When you get to the vicinity of the Storm Caves, be careful. ”
"Yes, Master."
"Got it, Master."
"If they dare to come, my grandson will definitely let them taste the power of the golden hoop stick."
After resting for the night, the four masters and apprentices of Tianming bid farewell to the old man and continued to travel west. I inquired along the way, as the old man said, the Storm Cave Mansion is quite admired in the Qin State, and most of the people laugh when they mention the Storm Cave Mansion, which shows that the Storm Cave Mansion has indeed done nothing bad.
A few days later, the four of them came to the bottom of a mountain and saw a convoy stopped at the foot of the mountain, and dozens of porters carrying their burdens towards the mountain.
Tang Seng was a little curious, so he said to Sun Wukong: "Wukong, go and ask, what are they doing?" ”
"Yes, Master." Sun Wukong jumped over and leaned over to the person left behind and asked, "Little brother, so many of you send things to the mountain, could it be that there are some big families on the mountain?" ”
This person was startled by the hairy Monkey King who suddenly appeared, but he quickly reacted and said calmly: "You don't know this? Where are you a youkai? This is Stormwind Mountain, and of course we are here to deliver food to Stormwind Caves. ”
Sun Wukong said in his heart that the Storm Cave Mansion was not a good thing, and he said: "Did the goblins on this mountain force you to send it?" ”
This man glanced at Sun Wukong like a monster, and said: "Every fifteenth day of the new year, we will use all kinds of things to trade goods with the demon clans of the Storm Cave Mansion, no matter how many people rush to come, we can only rely on the lottery to decide, where do we still need to persecute?" ”
Sun Wukong was bored, returned to Tang Seng's side, and said: "This is Storm Mountain, these people are the ones who came to trade goods with the demon clan on the mountain, and it is said that there is this one every fifteenth day of the new year." ”
Tang Seng nodded: "Seeing that these people are not panicking, sure enough, the rumors are true." ”
Sun Wukong said: "Master, don't run to visit the monster in a hot mind, that is a self-defeating net." ”
Tang Seng smiled: "It's not so stupid to be a teacher, since this is Storm Mountain, let's take a detour." ”
Sun Wukong breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to lead the horse towards the side path.
There are no fields near Storm Mountain, and there is no room for hunters to live, so there are no people outside the main road. When the master and apprentice walked until it was dark, they saw a manor, and they thought about borrowing it.
When I got closer, I found that the plaque had two big characters written on it: "Zhou Mansion". The two families were about to close the door, and Sun Wukong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Two little brothers, we are monks who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship the Buddha and learn scriptures, I wonder if we can make it convenient to stay here for one night?" ”
A family member shook his head: "My lord is not at home, we can't do this thing, you wait here, I will report to Mrs. to see how she decides." ”
Sun Wukong said with a smile: "There is Brother Lao." ”
This Ding left, Sun Wukong looked left and right, and went back to bring Tang Seng and a few people over.
Waiting for boredom, Sun Wukong asked the remaining family: "Little brother, I see that your mansion covers a wide area, and the head of the family must also be rich and powerful, I don't know what your master does?" ”
Jia Ding said proudly: "My master is amazing, rich and rivals the country, do you know what it means?" It's my lord. It's not that I'm bragging, in the entire Eastern Capital, no one is richer than my lord, even if the king of the Eastern Capital, he has to be polite when he sees my lord. ”
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and asked, "Then what kind of business does your master do?" ”
Jia Ding said casually: "Of course, it is a grain business, and it is very profitable to sell the rich grain of our country to those places in the West where there is a shortage of food. At this moment, my lord went to business. ”
Sun Wukong still needs to be asked, and the family who went to report before has already run back and said: "My wife said that since she came from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Territory, she is a distinguished guest, please come into the house to see you." Please come with me. ”
Tang Seng proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said "bothered", and with the family entering the manor, the other family led the white dragon horse to settle down.
A few people looked around, saw that the front yard was wide, the surrounding decoration was quite luxurious, but the style was quite Tang flavor, some doubts, Tang Seng said: "This donor, why is this mansion decorated, not like the style of this place, but some of the style of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Jia Ding said: "My wife was originally from the East, and this was specially designed by the master. ”
Tang Seng was relieved, no wonder this lady would value them so much and receive them in person.
When he arrived at the lobby, Tang Seng saw two beautiful women standing in the hall waiting, and there were more than a dozen maids waiting behind him. These two people look quite similar to the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know which one is this lady. Tang Seng had no choice but to say: "Poor monk Tang Xuanzang, I have seen my wife, and I have to be taken in by your mansion, and I am grateful." ”
The young woman smiled and said: "It turned out to be Tang Xuanzang, I heard from the merchants in the east that there was a Tang Dynasty monk who subdued demons and subdued demons all the way to the west sky. My lord did not return from the business days ago, and I missed the meeting with the holy monk, I am afraid that I will regret it for several years. Holy monks, please take a seat. ”
Tang Seng proclaimed the Buddha's name and led the apprentices to sit down.
Mrs. Zhou introduced: "The concubine was originally from Middle-earth, and she came here to take refuge in her early years and got acquainted with my master. This is the elder sister of the family, whose surname is Zheng, and the widow lives here. ”
Tang Seng once again proclaimed the Buddha's name and said, "The poor monk has seen two ladies. ”
Mrs. Zheng looked at Tang Seng carefully and said: "Before the concubine came here, the Middle Earth was initially determined, and the Tang Dynasty was first established, I don't know how the Tang Dynasty is now?" ”
Tang Seng said: "Today's Tang Emperor Shengming, Enwei is added to the four seas, the country is rich and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Mrs. Zheng frowned and blurted out, "Is that person really so powerful?" ”
Tang Seng didn't know why, thought about it and said: "The poor monk traveled all the way, passing through various countries, seeing the prosperity of your country, not weaker than Tang, presumably the monarch of your country is also a talented person, and can compete with the Tang Emperor." ”
Mrs. Zheng was about to speak, and Mrs. Zhou said: "How can I talk about state affairs in vain? The concubine has ordered someone to prepare a feast, and before the feast begins, can the holy monk explain the events of Middle-earth in recent years, so that our sisters can ease their homesickness. ”
Tang Seng nodded and said: "The poor monk is also traveling far away, and the poor monk has a deep understanding of the mood of the two female benefactors. If the two of them wanted to know anything, they asked, and the poor monk knew everything. ”
When the two girls heard this, they began to ask, and Tang Seng also answered them one by one, and the conversation was very harmonious.
After a short time, the feast began, everyone was happy, and the four masters and apprentices all felt at home.
In the end, Mrs. Zhou arranged a separate room for everyone, and the four masters and apprentices thanked each other for their kindness, but they couldn't shirk it.
