Chapter 35: Ghosts and Gods, Confucian Scholars
"Rock sugar gourd, sweet and sour rock sugar gourd!" An old man with wrinkles kept shouting in the street.
Zhao Zimo glanced at the red sugar gourd, the sum of his previous life and this life, it seems that he has not eaten it for more than 20 years, he walked over and took two strings, and threw down four copper coins of the Tang Dynasty, which caused the old man to thank him for a while.
He picked up one of the strings and gave it to Mu Qingxiao, who was confused.
And Mu Qingxiao really didn't want to eat these mortal things, so he could only politely refuse, not that he didn't look down on this thing, but he had to work hard to remove impurities after eating, so he really didn't feel that mood......
Zhao Zimo smiled kindly, turned his head and said to him: "Fan Chen practices his heart, and he can't die if he eats a sugar gourd." ”
"You just came down the mountain, I've been out for several years, I've had a taste, after the matter of the Dragon Palace is resolved, I will go back to the Demon Mansion for retreat, and it is estimated that I will not come out for a long time!" Mu Qingxiao shook his head.
"Haha, then I wish you in advance to become that land immortal as soon as possible!"
"Hey, it's not easy to talk about, it's even more difficult, but I'll borrow your good words!" Mu Qingxiao said with a smile.
Zhao Zimo nodded, took two strings of sugar gourds, one bite after another, and swallowed them all in a while, I have to say, it's really sour, no wonder the old man thanked him so much, it turned out that there was so little sugar, no one bought it!
The scene in the city of the Tang Dynasty is indeed a hundred times stronger than the original Yuan Dynasty, at least there are not so many human sufferings, and the monks are also very well-behaved, after all, killing mortals indiscriminately, as long as they are caught and reported, they will be jointly investigated by the government, the demon mansion, and the Jixia School Palace.
If you don't have enough background, if you don't say that you are dead after being caught, you will not be able to escape punishment, in short, you will have to pay a certain price.
As for why the Tang Dynasty and even other dynasties did this, it was naturally to condense the luck of the country, and the people's desire was the luck of the country, the more cohesive the people's hearts were, the more stable the dynasty's luck would be, and when today's dragon spirit would be more prosperous, it would be understandable to start a war with the Xiuxian sect at a certain time.
As for the battles between the monks and the warriors of the rivers and lakes, each has its own cause and effect, and as long as it does not affect the people during the battle, it will basically not be cared for......
The two of them walked around and were about to walk to the City God Temple, and at this time, the smell of incense became heavier and heavier.
Mu Qingxiao raised his eyebrows at this time: "Let's not go, the Divine Dao and Immortal Dao are different, I don't want to worship him, and I don't want to have any cause and effect with Chenghuang Lao'er." ”
"What I said is extreme, but I heard people along the way that this city god is a Confucian scholar at the beginning, and the city god temple built for him after his death, this person should not be ordinary, at least I look at the city, it is not a black miasma, and there is no demonic spirit." Zhao Zimo walked back with him.
Mu Qingxiao sneered at this time: "This city god temple has been built for three hundred years, if that Confucian scholar really has a heroic spirit, he would have been sanctified a long time ago, he enjoyed three hundred years of incense in the world, sitting on the statue of the god and watching the mortals kneel and worship, do you think he has changed?" ”
"What's the mystery here?" Zhao Zimo didn't open his eyes and couldn't detect too many changes, this thing doesn't distinguish between realms and needs chance.
Mu Qingxiao pinched the trick in his hand, and said carefully: "The last Taishou, in order to rise step by step, sacrificed to many girls who have not left the pavilion in this city god, although the Taishou has already been subdued, but this city god temple has been protected, even I don't know who did it, the cause and effect are too deep, and my master will not let me delve into it, so don't pay attention to this, it's no good." ”
The white-shirted boy nodded: "It seems that there are a lot of leaders here." ”
"Yes, but after your realm is high, you will inevitably deal with this group of guys, and then you will understand that these gods are more difficult than monks who have lived for hundreds of years!"
"Haha, whether it's a ghost or a god, it's a guy without a body, there must be a lot of nonsense!"
Mu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, there are many nonsense!" ”
………………
The two walked back to the previous restaurant, they really wanted to order some drinks, Mu Qingxiao was suddenly stunned, and Zhao Zimo was also stunned!
The former was in a daze, and even a little incredulous, because he saw the priest of the Jixia School Palace, Meng Haoran!
The latter was confused, because Zhou Sheng actually sat with a middle-aged Confucian scholar who was literate and chatted together.
And he didn't pick his feet with slippers, and he didn't drink it with a jar, but instead used a small wine cup, which is really incredible.
Zhao Zimo didn't know, but he didn't care who the rather chic and handsome middle-aged Confucian was, so he was about to walk over directly, Mu Qingxiao wanted to hold him, but when he saw that the short and poor man was not his groom, he walked over with a confused face, he really didn't expect that the groom of the disciple of the Pure Yang Sword Sect could also drink and chat with the priest of the wine lord, it was unbelievable!
"Lao Zhou, is drinking less alcohol today?" The little Taoist had a good mix with him, and he didn't care if he joked that the ninth person of the martial arts didn't care.
"While sitting, adults talk, villains don't interject, but Meng Haoran, Lao Tzu is really troublesome to drink with you, such a small wine cup can't feed the wine worms in my stomach......" Zhou Sheng looked helpless.
Meng Haoran motioned for Mu Qingxiao to sit aside, he glanced at Zhao Zimo, who was familiar with him, and said with a smile: "I have been trapped for thirty years, and he rescued you?" ”
"That's right, when Lao Tzu grew up wearing an open crotch pants with you, I think about how many punches I fought for you at the beginning, you didn't know how to help thirty years ago, it's really unrighteous!" Zhou Sheng took a handful of peanuts in his hand, and pouted as he ate them.
When the middle-aged Confucian heard this, he hesitated slightly, but still picked up the wine cup with both hands and said to him: "Being in the Jixia School Palace, the cause and effect are too deeply entangled, for those students, for the sake of the dynasty, and for the people of the world, I have nothing to do, I can only toast you!" ”
"Hey, don't respect me, I'm afraid of losing my life!" Zhou Sheng hurriedly pulled his hand aside, but Meng Haoran still drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Sheng, the old man, rolled his eyes: "If you want to toast, be sincere, don't fool me!" ”
"When have I ever cheated you since I was a child, and you have always cheated me, okay?" Meng Haoran, who is full of uncle fan, is also extremely handsome and chic when drinking, and I don't know how many middle-aged women have been attracted to see it.
And he was talking and chatting at this time, and there were not so many rules, which made Mu Qingxiao on the side stunned, and he couldn't even close his mouth, I really couldn't believe it, this was a serious and rigid sacrificial wine lord in the Jixia School Palace......
Zhao Zimo held chopsticks in his hand, listened to the story, and ate peanuts, at this time, as long as he had a little IQ, he knew that this person and Zhou Sheng existed in at least one realm, so it was better to be an audience obediently.
"Anyway, what are you doing in Taixian City, don't say it's for me?" Zhou Sheng finally couldn't help it, began to drink in a big bowl, wiped his mouth and asked.
Meng Haoran nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile: "It has something to do with you more or less, the main problem is still those who want to enter the Dragon Palace!" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Sheng frowned.
"In the Dragon Palace, there is no cave sky, Su Qiuyu of the Winter Thunder Sword Sect has atmospheric luck to press, she brought the candle dragon over, although it was not contaminated with much cause and effect, but it also overturned the fig leaf above the cave sky.
But this little cave has finally been investigated by everyone, and when the two little loaches fight, there will definitely be many people who will send their disciples to come and explore! Meng Haoran said slowly.
Zhao Zimo and Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but glance at each other, it seemed that they were in trouble, because someone was going to share the spoils!
