Chapter 30: The Water Mirror Hall (Part II)
Sun Li and the small skeleton were dragged onto a big boat, and there were several painting boats next to them. The black-faced officer said to Sun Li: "The skeleton can't speak, it must be you, a thief, hiding under the water and saying something rebellious, but I didn't expect it to hit us." Our future lies with you. The people in the boat applauded.
Sun Li looked at the shore, Bai Dawan saw nothing, he hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the official brother listened to me, I have a friend named Zhao Gan, who was used by the monk in the Xiegu Temple to transfer the soul Dafa, and a female goblin I saved was drilled into the body, in fact, she is not bad, she has helped us a lot along the way, for example, I am in danger in Renyi Village, if it weren't for Zhao Gan, who turned into a duck, and rescued me with the help of Xiao Linglong, who became Zhao Qian, I might have been killed in the ant nest by the army of earthworms......"
Messenger, you look at me, I look at you, they are all stunned.
Sun Li was in a hurry for a while, and he didn't care much, and continued to explain: "Later, we arrived at a place called 'Changjing Town', which is actually a long-necked town, hey, why am I telling you this......
An errand with a scar on his face said to the black-faced officer, "Big brother, this kid is a madman...... If we send him to receive the reward, will he be labeled as a random arrester? β
The black-faced servant looked at Sun Li suspiciously, Sun Li hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I'm not crazy, you listen to me, everything I say is true, there is a man named Wang Xiaojia in that Changjing Town, his neck is three feet long, and the neck of the gray-robed guest is one zhang long, he has reached the sky, and the neck of the flying eagle is hundreds of miles long, but Xiao Linglong used a spell to help a beggar named Duan Bozhi stab the sky......
The black-faced officer said to the Scarface: "You're right, this guy is a madman, how could a normal person hide under the water and scold the current saint." β
Sun Li hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm not me, it's him who scolded, I heard it with my own ears, and there is a big skeleton that can testify, that big skeleton was supported by the Holy Light for ten years, if you don't believe it, I didn't tell a word of lie." β
Sun Li picked up part of the bones of the small skeleton and said: "This forgetful gentleman, you have a word, you won't forget what you just said, I'll help you remember it, hey, speak......"
The black-faced servant said loudly: "Brothers have seen it, this is a madman, it is not easy to catch and scold the saint today, our promotion and fortune are all on him, if we hand him over, we will definitely be punished by the chief." It's better to cut it off directly, and go to ask for a reward with his head, anyway, we all heard the words "the current emperor is a fart" just now, and these idlers on the painting boat can testify to us. β
The servants said, "It's all up to my brother to decide!" β
Scarface pulled out a single knife and walked in front of Sun Li, he stretched out his leg and kicked Sun Li to the ground, and raised the knife to slash at Sun Li's neck. Sun Li was anxious to find Xiao Linglong's bowl and block it at the back of his neck, and he heard a "click".
Sun Li shouted: "My life is at stakes-"
With such a stir, Sun Li woke up in shock, and he found that his hand was empty, but there was a broken wine bowl under his feet. Sitting opposite Zhao Qian, laughing. It was the little maid ingots who were fighting, and he was gobbling up the dishes on the table, and there was a great tendency to remove the "dishes".
Zhao Gan saw Sun Li wake up, and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, I see that you are drunk and sleeping at the desk, and I didn't call you, how about it, do you want to drink a bowl?" Hahahaha. β
Sun Li's head was a little swollen and painful, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Where is this?" Brother Zhao, are you okay? Great, I'm not dreaming, am I? What about Xiao Linglong? What about the Kashiwa County Order? And the one who extracted the teeth, where did they go? β
Zhao Qian said: "Brother Sun, you still haven't woken up, what kind of drunk words are you talking about." Yuanbao, don't eat it yet, go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of decanting soup. β
Sun Li sat stunned for a while, then he stood up dumbly, shook himself to the window, and the storyteller said, "Lu Sheng was melancholy for a long time, and thanked: 'The life of grace and humiliation, the fate of embarrassment and accessibility, the truth of gain and loss, the reason of death and life, all know. This is sir, you restrain my desires, how can I not accept the teachings! He bowed his head again and again and thanked him and left. β
The storyteller patted the wood and said: "This "Pillow Notes" is finished for you, please bear with me if I don't say it well." The diners applauded.
Yuan Bao brought the sobering soup, Sun Li took a sip, his mind was a little clearer, all the experiences seemed to have been forgotten a lot, but there were still some sporadic names of people and places flashing in his heart.
It took him a while to be sure that he was sitting in the water mirror hall of Zhao Gan's "Wangfulou Restaurant", and Xiao Er'er was moving away the hot pot he had eaten, and those red and bright soup were swaying in the pot, and he was really worried about spilling it on people.
Look at the things eaten on the table, a mess, the various kinds of meat, the river mussel scallops are miscellaneous. Yuan Bao sat down again and continued to eat those dishes: roast duck, ants on the tree, lotus pod, sea cucumber, pig's trotters, carp, boiled eggs in the boy's urine, roasted donkey meat, high crushed...... No matter how you look at it, it seems to have something to do with the people in your dreams.
However, dreams are extremely illusory and cannot be true. Sun Li let out a long sigh and laughed at himself that this big dream was really ridiculous, if he hadn't dreamed of being beheaded, he didn't know when he would wake up.
Xiao Er came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks again, Sun Li glanced at him more, and he was shocked again, how could this black face look so similar to the black-faced errand in his dream. He immediately felt a little depressed in his heart, thinking that he would have to worship the Buddha and the Bodhisattva when he went to Xiegu Temple, but when he thought of Xiegu Temple, he was unhappy again. But he didn't want to say "strange power", he was also a scholar, and he would be disturbed by a dream, so he felt that he couldn't help but be a mediocre person.
Sun Li, Zhao Gan and Yuan Bao rushed to the Xiegu Temple, Zhao Gan couldn't go far and had to stop and rest for a while, and the distance was hard to rub for a long time. Walking to the foot of the mountain, Zhao Qian proposed to rest again, and Sun Li felt that this situation and this scene seemed to be similar, and the hesitation, fear and disgust in his heart were entangled together, and he couldn't help but churn.
Sun Li said: "Yuanbao, do you have a roast duck in your baggage, ready to feed Brother Zhao?" β
Without waiting for Yuan Bao to answer, Zhao Qian said: "Okay, you Sun Li, I didn't expect you to have such a hand, where did you learn the skill of guessing things in the air?" β
Sun Li held back his fear and said, "Take it out and let me see if it is exactly the same size as I guessed." β
Sun Li took the duck handed over by the ingots and didn't look at it, picked up his arm and threw it into the grass.
Zhao Qian said: "Hey, Sun Li, are you still awake?" Good roast duck, what do you throw it for? Ingot treasure, go pick it up and peel off the duck skin that sticks to the soil. β
Zhao Gan couldn't help complaining that Sun Li was drunk, and Sun Li saw a farmer in the east walking slowly with a head of a ox, and a monk in a cloth walking slowly in the west.
Sun Li looked straight ahead with his eyes and said, "This fake monk wants to ask this stupid farmer for directions." β
Sure enough, the monk put his palms together and sang a Buddha horn and said: "Old man, please stay, take a question, is the mountain a sloping valley temple?" β
The farmer said, "That's right, the temple is on top of the mountain. β
Zhao Qian was shocked: "Heh, Brother Sun, you will not only guess things in the air, but also predict the prophet!" β
Sun Li narrowed his eyes and said, "The next cow is going to lick the monk's head." β
Sure enough, the cow next to him stretched out his head, first sniffed the monk's head, and then stretched out his big tongue and licked it.
Zhao Qian said: "Sun Li, can you really pinch the calculation or say that the blind cat meets a dead mouse, don't scare me, I'm cowardly, and it's easy to faint." β
The farmer hurriedly scolded, but the monk stopped him and said, "It's okay, but it's okay to lick." β
The scalper seemed to be happier the more he licked it, and then he couldn't stop crying.
After a long time, the monk raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate, rescues suffering, and the Dharma is boundless." β
The farmer grabbed the reins and said with a little shame, "I'm sorry, this animal deserves to die." β
The monk said: "It's me who deserves to die, woo woo......"
Sun Li suddenly showed a strange sneer on his face, and he said, "Next, this fake monk will recognize this cow as his father." β
Zhao Gan looked at the monk in surprise, only to see the monk wipe his tears and said: "Don't hide it from the donor, this cow was my father in my previous life, and he was reincarnated as a cow in this life. β
"Hahaha" Sun Li laughed three times, "Your grandmother's, if you want to play with me, Lao Tzu is not afraid-" I saw him rush over with an arrow step, snatch the reins, turn over the back of the cow, punch the cow's buttocks, and the cow immediately galloped away.
Zhao Gan shouted: "Yuanbao, throw down that roast duck, quickly catch up with me, don't let Sun Li continue to play drunk, embarrassing peopleββ"
Yuan Bao looked at the running figure of his son, and then looked at the roast duck that had just been cleaned up in his hand, he opened his mouth and took a big bite, stuffed the rest into the farmer's hand, and shouted: "Young master, I'm here-"
