Volume 2 Riding the Wind Chapter 182 Kyushu Monks
The next day dawned.
Zhang Mu came out of the demon refining pot and walked out of the inn to the streets of Motan City.
Although the natives here are dark-skinned and most of them are not civilized, the monks who often come here have given them a nice nickname - Yunlu people.
Correspondingly, based on the legends of several states on land, they also gave the monks and mortals who came here a good name - Kyushu monks or Kyushu people.
Zhang Mu walked around the city for a while and came to a shop opened by a Yunlu man.
The owner of this shop, named Bada, has a square face and big eyes, is in his twenties, and because he often does the business of Kyushu monks, his dress directly imitates the appearance of the outback.
Seeing Zhang Mu coming, he learned how the monks greeted each other, raised his hand directly, and said in the Kyushu language he was proficient in.
"What do you want to buy?"
Zhang Mu saw that this person was well-dressed and had a pure accent, if it weren't for his darker complexion, he would still be no different from an ordinary monk, so he smiled and said.
"Can you tell I'm a monk?"
Ba Da nodded, unbuttoned a plate button on his chest, lifted his coat, revealing a rectangular badge on the clothes inside, pointed to the Yunlu text on it, and said proudly.
"Fellow Daoist, you see, I'm an eight-rank cloud master, and I can tell the difference between you and mortals!"
Zhang Mu glanced at it, and saw that there was an extremely weak spiritual energy operating in the meridians in his body, and he could be regarded as barely stepping into the Qi Refining Realm, and it was indeed an eight-rank cloud master in the realm division of the Yunlu Barbaric Realm, so he said.
"Not bad, not bad!"
When Bada heard the praise, he made a modest appearance and said, "Daoyou has praised it!" ”
The corners of Zhang Mu's mouth raised, he didn't expect the person in front of him to be so interesting, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Bad!" Bata reported his name and continued, "I still have a name from yours. ”
"What's it called?" Zhang Mu asked with interest.
Ba Da's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Ba Ba! ”
When Zhang Mu heard this name, he snorted, couldn't help laughing, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You came up with this name yourself?" ”
"It's not." Bata shook his head and said.
Zhang Mu asked, "Who gave it to you?" ”
"A monk over there." Bada said truthfully.
Zhang Mu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why did he give you such a name?" ”
"He said that I was the Eight Rank Cloud Master, and he directly took the name of Eight, so he gave it this name." Bata replied.
When Zhang Mu heard this, he thought that this monk was really good, and this was a proper way to make fun of people, and looked at Ba Da's honest and sincere appearance, and kindly reminded: "You still don't want to call it by this name." ”
"Why? Why can't it be called? Bada asked, confused.
Zhang Mu chuckled lightly and said, "It's very easy to be beaten by calling this name in our place!" ”
Ba Da didn't understand why it was easy to be beaten by this name, but seeing that Zhang Mu's temperament was dusty, he was more outstanding than the Kyushu monks he had seen before, since such monks said that this name was not good, it must be bad.
Thinking of this, his eyes moved, and he immediately said, "Then can you help me get another one?" ”
"Oh." Zhang Mu clasped his arms around his chest, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly a bad taste rose, and said, "It's called Batanmu!" ”
"Batammu?" Bata Control repeated it a few times, felt very pleasing to the mouth, and asked with a happy smile, "Does this name have any meaning?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Mu nodded and said, "Batanmu is a very rare spirit fruit, very popular with people, your name is very suitable!" ”
"Well, when I introduce myself to you Kyushu monks in the future, I'll say that my name is Batanmu!" Bata said proudly.
Zhang Mu met the sincere eyes of the chuckle, couldn't help but move his gaze to the side, and said, "Mmmm, yes!" ”
"Batanmu would like to thank Daoyou for renaming me." Ba Da raised his hand and saluted, and said, "Fellow Daoist, after chatting for so long, do you want to see some treasures in my store?" ”
Zhang Mu bowed his head, and while listening to Ba Da's explanation, he browsed on the wooden shelf in the store.
In the end, he spent more than 800 spirit stones to buy some treasure materials suitable for refining, and was ready to return to Xiting City to resell them and earn some spirit stones.
On the way back.
When passing by an alley, I saw several little beggars from Yunlu who were snatching the cloth bag in a little girl's arms, and in the process of pulling, they yelled fiercely.
"Let go, or we'll kill you!"
The little girl looked to be about seven or eight years old, covered in tatters, and her face was dirty, except for a pair of eyes, bright and determined.
Under the fists of several people, the little girl clenched her teeth tightly, endured the pain and remained silent, stubbornly protecting the things in her arms, with an unyielding look on her face.
When Zhang Mu saw this scene, he sighed that no matter how prosperous the place is, there will always be a few corners of suffering.
With a sigh, he came to the little girl, waved his hand to disperse the little beggars, and said, "They are gone, you should get up first!" ”
The little girl watched several little beggars run out of the alley completely, and then slowly got up, clutched the cloth bag in her arms, and limped into the depths of the alley.
During this period, he did not say a word of thanks to Zhang Mu, nor did he show any gratitude.
Zhang Mu looked at the little girl's extremely lonely back, sighed again, and slowly followed.
After walking for a while, I found that the little girl was limping not because of a leg disease, but because she had just been beaten too badly by the little beggar, causing pain and inability to walk normally.
After a little half-ring.
The little girl came to an abandoned and dilapidated house, turned around and saw that Zhang Mu had been following her, looked indifferently in her eyes for a while, and turned around and walked in.
When Zhang Mu saw this look, he understood that the little girl didn't want him to follow him in, so he stopped at the door and glanced inside.
I saw a dying young woman lying on a ball of straw in the dilapidated house, and when she saw the little girl come back, her eyes showed a kind light, and she said angrily.
"Where have you been again?"
The little girl still did not speak, but carefully opened the cloth bag, revealing two steaming burritos, torn one piece, and slowly brought it to the woman's mouth.
The woman had not eaten for a long time, her chapped lips opened and closed a few times, and after eating the burrito, she squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and said to the little girl.
"Eat the rest, I'm full!"
The little girl did not listen to the woman, but tore off another piece and continued to deliver it to the woman's mouth.
The woman looked at the little girl's slightly trembling little hands, she knew that the little girl had not eaten for a few days, and a tear could not help but flow from the corners of her eyes, and she closed her chapped lips tightly and refused to eat again.
Seeing this, the little girl picked up another burrito and stuffed it into her mouth, and pointed to the piece in her hand, meaning that they were each one.
The woman looked at the little girl's heart like a knife, and knew that if she wanted to eat it, the little girl would not eat it, so she could only eat the cake that the little girl fed her little by little.
Zhang Mu looked at it for a while, sighing in his heart, he saw that the woman's body was full of life, and the legs of the lower half of her body already showed signs of rancidity.
At this time, she can still stay in the world, but she is supported by a desire to leave, if it weren't for the foundation of some cultivation on her body, I'm afraid she would have been dead for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu shook his head lightly in amazement, got up and walked in.
When the little girl saw Zhang Mu come in, her eyes showed a very hostile gaze, and her small body was protected in front of the woman, staring at Zhang Mu tightly.
The meaning is obvious, don't let Zhang Mu come over.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu couldn't force himself forward, so he took out a spirit pill that replenished qi and calmed the nerves from the storage jade ring, held it in his hand, and motioned for the little girl to feed the woman.
Although this pill can't save the woman, it can allow her to relieve the pain in her body and persist in the world for a while.
With the situation in front of the woman, even if the real person from the upper realm came, there was nothing she could do, and she could only watch the woman leave with a little regret.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to Zhang Mu's side, looked at the elixir in Zhang Mu's hand, grabbed it, and slowly sent it to the woman's mouth.
Zhang Mu took advantage of the situation to step forward to check the specific situation of the woman, but as soon as she took a step, the little girl immediately turned her head and cast a hostile gaze, signaling Zhang Mu not to step forward.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Mu could only stop in place.
The woman ate the elixir, her pale face gradually became a little bloody, she slowly sat up with her body bold, and looked at Zhang Mu, with a look of gratitude in her eyes.
Then, he slowly raised his arm, with the help of a trace of aura contained in the elixir, and pointed at the life points on his body.
With each click, a look of extreme pain appeared on the woman's face, until after the nine life points were counted, a vitality suddenly rose in the woman's body, giving her the strength to get up.
When the little girl saw this, her eyes were filled with joy, and she took her arms in her arms, and did not feel that she began to cry.
Zhang Mu sighed, he saw that the woman had used a means of forcibly renewing her life, and the vitality she stimulated could last for two or three days at most.
Once time passes, the gods are difficult to save!
The woman took the little girl and walked to Zhang Mu's side.
Since she was from Yunlu, she performed a unique etiquette to Zhang Mu, and her hoarse voice spit out two words with difficulty.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Mu heard that the woman spoke the Kyushu language, looked up and down, and secretly thought that this woman should have been a cloud master before, as for what the grade was, he couldn't see it for a while.
"No thanks."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take hold of the woman's wrist and examine it.
The woman saw Zhang Mu's intentions, squeezed out a smile on her face, shook her head, and said.
"I, I've been..."
He glanced down at the little girl lovingly, gently stroked the little girl's face, and continued to say with difficulty.
"I know my own situation, don't bother with it."
Zhang Mu knew that even if he tried his best, at most he would only fight for the woman for a moment and a half, and when the time came, the woman would still have to let go of the world, yes, no longer forced.
The woman looked at Zhang Mu, opened and closed her mouth a few times, and finally said embarrassedly.
"Can Childe give me some help so I can take her to make amends?"
Zhang Mu immediately understood, took out some spirit stones and gold ingots, and said.
"It's not much, but it's enough!"
The woman didn't take it all, but just took a little of it, and once again made a Yunlu etiquette to Zhang Mu, and said.
"Thank you, Childe!"
Then, he staggered away with the little girl and began to walk down the street.
Zhang Mu was silent for a while, then got up and returned to the inn.
...
Two days passed.
Outside the inn, the little girl's face was flushed, and she tried her best to pull a wooden cart with all her strength, and came to the door tremblingly.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't affect our business here!" ”
The little girl was unmoved, standing quietly next to the cart, her face was both painful and reluctant, looking at a bulging crumpled straw mat on the cart.
Seeing that the little girl was not leaving, the shopkeeper walked out of the store angrily and scolded: "Your name is Hanako, get out!" ”
As he spoke, he lifted the straw mat, saw the situation below, his face was shocked, and he pointed to the little girl and said, "You actually pulled a dead man over!" ”
"Hurry up and pull it away, or you will look good!"
It was none other than the woman under the straw mat, who was already out of breath at this time, and could die at any time.
Seeing that the little girl had not left, the shopkeeper stepped forward and pushed the cart and wanted to drag it aside.
The little girl was desperately guarding the side of the car and stopped it.
The shopkeeper stared at the little girl and yelled, "Get out of the way, or I'll break your legs!" ”
The little girl didn't say a word, clutched the handlebars tightly, and just refused to leave.
The shopkeeper's chest rose and fell a few times, and he raised his hand to hit the little girl.
At this time, Zhang Mu heard the movement, walked down from the upstairs, just saw this scene, and stopped him loudly: "Stop!" ”
The shopkeeper turned his head to look and saw that it was Zhang Mu, so he immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "This distinguished guest, she pulled a dead man over, I just want to drive him away!" ”
When the little girl saw Zhang Mu come out, her face showed a look of hope, and she stared at Zhang Mu tightly, meaning to ask Zhang Mu to hurry up and see the woman.
Zhang Mu waved his hand to let the shopkeeper retreat and said, "She came to find me, you don't have to worry about it." ”
When Zhang Mu came to the car, the woman slowly opened her eyes, moved her palm to her chest with difficulty, took out a diamond-shaped ink-colored jade pendant, handed it to Zhang Mu tremblingly, and said with all her might.
"Help, help me, take care of her, this, that's it, it's yours!"
Zhang Mu was a little unclear, Motan City was so big, how did they know that he was here? What is this jade pendant? Isn't the woman afraid that he will take something and leave the little girl alone?
Through Zhang Mu's eyes, the woman seemed to see through Zhang Mu's thoughts and said.
"I, I..."
Before she finished speaking, she was already angry on the spot, and the ink-colored jade pendant immediately fell from her hand.
Although Zhang Mu had a lot of puzzlement, when he saw the situation in front of him, he could only reach out and take the jade pendant.
The little girl clenched the woman's hand tightly, her eyes full of disbelief, and a tear slowly slipped from the corner of her eye.
Zhang Mu looked at it quietly for a moment and said, "Let go, she's no longer there!" ”
The little girl didn't seem to hear it, and she didn't move!
Zhang Mu sighed, waved his hand to call the shopkeeper, and said, "Pull the car to the backyard first." ”
The shopkeeper was embarrassed and said, "This distinguished guest, this, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" ”
Zhang Mu was too lazy to talk nonsense, threw out a piece of gold ingot, and said lightly: "Do as I say!" ”
The shopkeeper looked at the gold ingot, then at Zhang Mu, hesitated for a while, lowered his head and sighed, but still accepted the gold ingot and pulled the car into the backyard.
The little girl did not stop this time, and followed them to the backyard, standing silently in front of the car, and no one asked her to leave.
It lasted until the middle of the night, until she fell unconscious due to physical exhaustion, and Zhang Mu sent her to her room to rest.
