An hour later, Tan Mo and the others boarded a boat with a painful expression on their faces.

Master Lotus gave the passage fee, but it was not enough to take a carriage all the way, and it was not safe to take a carriage.

Fortunately, I met a boatman who was willing to take them for a ride, and the boat fare was naturally more expensive than the carriage fare, but it was better to be able to go all the way to the county where the eldest brother was located, so Bai Guzi gritted his teeth and paid out of his own pocket.

The eldest brother's house is not in Ningjia County, nor is it next to Ningjia County.

The two county seats, separated by a few mountains, are not easy to climb. Those are deep mountains and old forests, there are no people at the foot of the mountains, the more you go to the depths of the mountains and forests, the more bizarre and strange things emerge in endlessly, and few people can live out to cross through.

Master Lotus walked with a few friends in his early years, but the three people who survived, including Master Lotus, did not mention what happened in the mountains and forests.

That county seat is called Peony County.

Before the precept of the Buddha proposed to go home, several major families in the county joined forces to contact the nearby families to oppose the king, and paid tribute every year, in exchange for the rare peace in Peony County.

After spending the night in the cramped cabin, the four brothers and sisters found that the ship was about to dock while nibbling on steamed buns.

"A few little masters, take care, I heard that this peony county has not been peaceful in recent days. The old man will come back in a few days, and the little master can take the old man's boat back. ”

The boat family received the kindness of Master Lotus in his early years, so he was extremely polite to Tan Mo and his party.

"Thank you, sir."

The four brothers thanked each other, and then went ashore.

The people who came this time were Tan Mo, Bai Guzi, Mirror Void and the parties who had taken the precepts of Bodhi. Zhong Shenxiu and the empty door ghost both stayed in the Lotus Temple.

The former was reluctant to go out, and it was embarrassing to stay with the mirror void, so he simply didn't come.

The latter is that they don't see anyone at all.

Shaoyao County is different from Ningjia County, this county is not divided into towns. A county seat, down there are twenty or thirty villages. It retains the appearance of the county seat when the Qing court was still alive.

There are few red-haired and red-eyed foreigners in Ningjia County, but there are a lot of them in this peony county.

There were men and women, huddled in the shops on the street, as if they were doing business, but they stared out with a very guarded look, and from time to time they gathered together and whispered a few times, and their eyes were sneaky, and they didn't look like they were doing business.

"Senior brother, what's the situation in your hometown?" Bai Guzi stabbed Bodhi with his elbow.

It may be a family relationship, and the precept Bodhi is white and fat, and he looks rich. was stabbed twice by Bai Guzi with his elbow, and Jie Bodhi felt itchy, and hurriedly said: "Second senior brother, don't hit me like this, it will be very itchy." I'm most afraid of itching. ”

"Watch for next time." Bai Guzi casually agreed.

He shook his head and replied to Bai Guzi's question just now: "I don't know what the situation is, I haven't been back for several years." If it hadn't been for the sudden non-delivery of money to me this time, I might not have come back for the rest of my life. The letter that my eldest brother sent me every year, the second senior brother, you haven't read it, in and out of the words, it is all for me to be a monk in the Lotus Temple with peace of mind, and never go back to Peony County for the rest of my life, so that he and I can still be brothers. ”

"Forget it, I'd better ask someone." Bai Guzi sighed, gave up looking for the person concerned to inquire about the precept Bodhi, and then walked over and put his hand on Tan Mo's shoulder, and said: "Little junior brother, if you have any work, you can go to someone to ask, a few of us, you are the youngest, and it is easiest for people to let down their guard." ”

Tan Mo nodded.

"No problem, three senior brothers, wait for me."

Then, Tan Mo walked into a shop opened by a foreigner on the side of the road, took a look, and found that this store bought and sold everything. Washbasins, glass mirrors, candles, hoes, and even some dishes, messy and bits and pieces.

"Nan Wu Amitabha, I have seen a few donors, the little monk is not here to turn the fate, but to ask, how to sell the things in your shop?" Tan Mo clasped his hands together, made a wooden face, and asked slowly.

"Monk?" There are six foreigners in the shop, both men and women, all with bright red hair and red eyes, and they are all dressed in red black, which looks like a flame.

One of them walked a man with a scar on his face and looked to be in his thirties. With a slightly pointed chin, hooked nose, and a somewhat gloomy face, he stared at Tan Mo, looked up and down before he slowly spoke: "Hello little monk, my name is Bayantu." ”

I said hello very politely.

"The little monk is flameless, and he has seen Mr. Bayantu."

"Please be seated, little monk of Ming Wuyan." Bayantu pointed to the stool on the side, did not ignore it because of Tan Mo's young age, but looked very solemn, he said: "To be honest, I didn't actually come to do business, I came to find the treasure, but the treasure has not been found so far, so I want to bring some scriptures back." However, no monk promised me. I also thought about grabbing it, but ...... I am very grateful to the monks who have mercy on their minds and do not kill for sparing us. ”

Tan Mo was stunned when he heard this, this foreigner who claimed to be Bayantu ......

"Isn't the little monk of Ming Wuyan feeling strange? I'm sorry, but I'm not very proficient in your language to express exactly what I want to say. Seeing that Tan Mo was stunned, Bayantu thought that Tan Mo didn't understand, so he asked seriously.

"Mr. Bayantu, I can understand that you are trying to buy scriptures from me?" Tan Mo nodded slightly and asked.

Bayantu's face suddenly showed a look of great joy, and he nodded again and again.

"That's it! I hope that the little monk of Ming Wuyan can help make it happen! He learned from Tan Mo's way just now, clasped his hands together, and bowed.

Tan Mo looked at him like this, thought about it, and asked, "Mr. Bayantu not only wants scriptures, but also has a method of cultivation, right?" ”

"Aren't scriptures just the way to practice?" Bayantu was stunned for a moment, and then asked in astonishment: "Ming Wuyan little monk, aren't these two one?" ”

"Some are, some don't." Tan Mo said, then he stood up and pointed outside: "This matter is not something that my little novice can call the shots, those are the senior brothers of the little monk......"

"Hurry up and invite a few great monks to come in!" Bayantu hurriedly said, so a red-haired and red-eyed woman hurriedly ran out, came to Bai Guzi and said a few words, and then Bai Guzi came in with the woman.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Guzi said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Bayantu, we can't make decisions about this matter, you have to go and discuss with our abbot." If you want, you can go to the Lotus Temple in Ningjia County and find the Lotus Master. ”

"Oh oh, Master Lotus, I've heard the name! It is said to be a very powerful monk! A great monk praised Master Lotus for being a notoriously deviant and would grant me this unbelievable request! When Bayantu heard the name of Master Lotus, his eyebrows couldn't help but dance.

Tan Mo heard this, and his eyes were a little strange.

Deviant, praise......

It seems that the monks who released these foreigners at the beginning were not simply released. Compassion is true, but compassion is also false!

At this time, Bai Guzi's few words to cater to Bayantu made Bayantu feel that the matter of buying scriptures was about to succeed, so he was even more excited.

Seeing this, Bai Guzi changed his words with a smile on his face and asked, "Mr. Bayantu, do you know what has happened in this county recently?" ”

"Yes, yes." Seeing that it was a question of "business partners", Bayantu hurriedly spoke.
