Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Great Tribulation

"Xiao Chen, what have you been doing these days? It's not okay to be at home sooner or later, ouch, look at this dirty clothes, hurry up and wash them! ”

In the alley, the landlord, Sister Wang, was washing clothes in the shade, and when she saw Chen Xiaodonkey coming back in the sun, she complained and greeted her from afar.

"I'm out looking for a job."

Chen Xiaodonkey wiped the beads of sweat from his face.

As soon as Sister Wang heard this, she suddenly couldn't talk about what she wanted to ask and urge, so she had to change her tone and ask: "Is it difficult to find a job now?" ”

Chen Xiaodonkey nodded, his face was depressed, and he heard Sister Wang complain: "During this time, people from all over the world have come to Shanghai, you said that Shanghai is so big, it is normal that it is not easy to find, but you are literate, if you really can't do it---- I will talk to my family, let me ask them if there is still a shortage of errands over there?" ”

Sister Wang's husband works at a bank.

Chen Xiaodonkey heard the concern from her words, his heart warmed slightly, and he shook his head and said: "Don't use it first, there is really no way, can I make money by working the dock." ”

"Yo, then this job is not decent, it's not good to please a wife!"

“----”

You can't talk about these things with women, as soon as you talk about it, it's endless, Chen Xiaodonkey knows the three flavors well, and after dealing with two sentences vaguely, he hurriedly excused himself to change his clothes and sneaked back into the house, and by the way, he turned a few pages back and looked at the calendar.

In recent years, the chronology of churches and foreigners has become popular, and in addition to emphasizing when it is the Republic of China, the calendar will also be fashionably marked with the words of the day of the week.

Today is Sunday, the church's Sunday.

After resting for a while, he said hello to Sister Wang and went out again and took the tram to Zhabei.

The Baoshan Road Catholic Church was overcrowded today, and there were not enough seats, and a group of believers crowded into the church, listening to the priest in front of him preach the gospel with a loudspeaker.

Chen Xiaodonkey doesn't believe this, and of course he didn't come here to worship.

After squeezing into the church, he stood at the back and scanned it slightly on tiptoe twice, and soon locked on a fat man who was sneaking around in the crowd, and with a blow, he squeezed over and slipped the fat man out of the church.

"I'm grass! Donkey, can't you wait for me to finish my work? ”

Cao Hou looked depressed.

When he was pulled out by Chen Xiaodonkey, he was moving to a fat sheep who had been staring at him for a long time and was about to start.

But it's just a complaint, and it's immediately replaced by doubt.

"What the hell have you been doing these days, you didn't make it clear before, can you say it now? Also, how did you know I was here? Stalk me, you? ”

Chen Xiaodonkey didn't answer the first question, and sneered: "Today is Sunday, there are many fat sheep in the church, and the black skin of the Luwan patrol house, nine and a half out of ten know you, Hongkou, you don't want to go, where can you be if you are not here?" ”

In these years, there are quite a lot of religious believers, but there are few poor people who can come to church on Sundays, and they are all running for a living.

As for Luwan District and Hongkou District, which also have churches but were excluded by Chen Xiaodonkey, Cao Hou had entered the previous place twice, and most of the people in the patrol room recognized him, and every time he went there, he had to pay tribute to most of the things he touched, and he was definitely not willing to do more about it.

And Hongkou is because Cao Monkey has a story over there, and he is reluctant to go, so naturally only Baoshan Road is left.

Cao Hou scolded and scolded: "Deflated calf, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to have so many flaws? ”

Chen Xiaodonkey glared at him, and he immediately laughed.

Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Don't talk nonsense with you, is it useless for Brother Cat to be with you?" ”

"There's him."

Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Then I'll go to the Taoist temple, and you continue." ”

"Let's go, continue to hammer, you will be defeated as soon as you stop your luck, call it a day today, and go together."

Because he wanted to ask Zhang Wuye about those things, he didn't want to take Cao Hou with him, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only rush to the broken Taoist temple outside the city together.

On the way, Cao Hou asked again and again, Chen Xiaodonkey knew that it was not a matter not to say anything, so he said that he went to the mountains in the north and the big tomb, but he didn't mention the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only said that his brother-in-law Jia Xibei couldn't determine the specific location, so he went over and took a look.

Zhang Wat was sitting at the door of the Taoist temple and was cutting a piece of peach wood, and the cat brother was lying next to him, and when he saw Chen Xiaodonkey, he jumped up on his shoulder and screamed.

Zhang Wat nodded to him, and then frowned.

"Zhibai, why is there such a heavy yin qi on your body?"

Yin Qi? Chen Xiaodonkey didn't expect Zhang Hu to split his head and cover his face like this, he was stunned, and before he could speak, Cao Hou said impatiently: "Can the yin qi not be heavy?" It's useless, you can't even guess what he's been doing these days-----"

After Cao Hou finished relaying what Chen Xiaodonkey said to him, Zhang Wat asked, "Is that so?" ”

Chen Xiaodonkey nodded, "Some places are exaggerated, roughly so, you said that the yin qi is heavy, maybe because of this reason?" ”

"Perhaps." Zhang Wat was noncommittal.

Chen Xiaodonkey didn't dwell too much on this matter, as for Zhang Wuxian when he heard this, he still looked unfazed, he was already numb, and asked directly: "The fifth master is inside?" Seeing Zhang Wat nodding, he said, "Then I'll have a few words with him."

Cao Hou's face wrinkled into chrysanthemums when he heard this, and he was reluctant to meet the obedient Zhang Wuye, so he hurriedly explained: "Remember to help me say hello to his old man." ”

“-----”

The main hall of the Taoist temple was a little dim, Chen Xiaodonkey pushed the door in, and saw Zhang Wuye sitting cross-legged in front of the statue, he didn't dare to disturb, and waited obediently after closing the door.

After a long while, Zhang Wuye spoke up: "Boy Chen, what is the matter with coming to me?" ”

"Look at what you said, Fifth Master, I can't come to see you if it's okay?" Chen Xiaodonkey hurriedly smiled.

"Hehe, now that I see it, you can get out."

“-----”

Chen Xiaodonkey choked hard, "This, there is indeed something I want to ask." For fear that the blind old man would say something choking, he immediately continued: "It's a matter of the True Law Temple, Fifth Master, I heard some sayings that the monk named Juehong has long since died!" ”

"Dead? Who do you listen to? ”

"Villagers over there!" Chen Xiaodonkey repeated what Fang Quanhu told him.

Zhang Wuye sat on the futon, shook his head directly after listening, and laughed with the monster, "I don't know about this matter, it may be a rumor, but Chen boy, do you know that you are in trouble?" ”

What's that? Chen Xiaodonkey is a flute.

Zhang Wuye didn't go around the bend, and said directly: "Go and call Don Yong and that monkey in, take off your clothes, and let them see what you have on your back!" ”

"What can I have on my back? I said Fifth Master, don't scare me. Being said like this, Chen Xiaodonkey suddenly felt uncomfortable, before Zhao Nansong, this blind old man, just said a word about the strange handprint on his shoulder.

Zhang Wuye turned his back to him and did not speak, nor did he explain.

Chen Xiaodonkey said in horror: "Could it be another handprint?" ”

"Mudras? It's all gadgets compared to this, go call someone, I can't see it, I just feel, I hope my feeling is wrong. ”

"Meow~"

As if in response to Zhang Wuye's words, the cat brother on his shoulder screamed.

Zhang Wuye sneered: "You are lucky, you picked up a civet cat, it seems that it has seen something." ”

I'm grass, this deflated calf!

Chen Xiaodonkey glanced at Brother Cat, and immediately opened the door and shouted loudly to Zhang Wat and Cao Hou.

"Help me see if there's something on my back!" As soon as the two of them entered, he turned around and stripped off his short sleeves.

Zhang Wat and Cao Hou were confused, but when they saw the traces on Chen Xiaodonkey's back, Cao Hou suddenly screamed strangely.

"I'm grass! Little donkey, you have a problem, why do you get such a ghost thing on your body! ”

Zhang Wuye didn't know when he turned around, with a pair of pitch-black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Is it a human face?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm grass, aren't you blind, fifth master? How do you see that? Cao Hou nodded in agreement.

his grandma, human face!?

Chen Xiaodonkey suddenly heard this, and his mind buzzed.

Zhang Wat frowned on the side, and said solemnly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it turns out that the yin qi is its!" ”

Chen Xiaodonkey said anxiously: "I said Fifth Master, don't play dumb riddles with me, what's going on?" ”
