Chapter 96: Growing Luck (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve, full of good luck in the coming year!) )
A few people walked out of the west gate of the town and went to the official road, and the feeling of being watched gradually disappeared.
Chu Ge was half-lying on the soft couch in the carriage, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he was not worried.
After all, in this remote place, the number of masters must be scarce.
If Shizhou hadn't been planned by the Holy Sect, the original innate masters would have only a handful of other states and counties except for the main city and the army, and this Fanzhou would obviously be in a similar situation.
When they went to Shizhou, they were the governor's mission, and they were the target of everyone.
And this time, he is just an ordinary wandering son, unless he handles things too high-profile, otherwise he will definitely not attract any high-level attention.
These little minions below, if they come to provoke themselves.
It can only be lit in the pit... Look for death!
The two wizards in the carriage behind were the best at making people die quietly.
The carriage drove slowly down the path, and after more than two hours, there were bursts of human voices outside the carriage, and it was obvious that there were many pedestrians on the road.
Chu Ge lifted the curtain and walked to the board of the carriage in front of the carriage, and when he saw the scene outside, his pupils shrank.
I saw that on both sides of the road, the bustling people, with pious expressions and words in their mouths, walked in the same direction step by step.
Among them, there were richly dressed merchants, poor people in coarse linen clothes, and some even brought their half-grown children and asked them to bow down to the Buddha with them.
If the child is stubborn and refuses to bow down, then a stern reprimand and scolding is indispensable, and the cry sounds, and the people around them turn their heads and look angrily, thinking that the family has collided with the gods.
Chu Ge noticed that most of these pious civilians were yellow-faced and thin.
It is no wonder that in this kind of world, ordinary people, even if they work hard, live in extreme poverty.
If the people spend a lot of time on this meaningless pilgrimage, their lives will naturally be more difficult.
The carriage continued on its way.
Cai Wei and Red Sleeves in the carriage behind also walked out, and when they saw the scene outside, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
Even the Holy Sect composed of evil ways does not seem to be as terrible as this deceptive belief.
After a cup of tea again, I didn't go to Qubu City, the nearest city of Nafanzhou, but I first saw a magnificent temple located in the mountains.
These people who came from the surrounding towns and counties to worship were obviously running for this temple.
Perched atop a deep hill just a few miles from Qubu, this temple is the largest temple in the vicinity and is home to many devotees who come to worship and pray for good fortune.
The imposing temple is covered with antique and solemn appearance.
The golden glazed tiles covered on the main hall are brilliant in the sun, and many lifelike statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva are carved on the ridge, which are like heavenly palaces under the golden light reflected by the tiles.
Chu Ge said, "Enter the city first, and then come and see this temple."
"Yes, Childe."
Moments later, two wagons entered the city of Qubu.
This Qupucheng is just an ordinary small city, with a population of only tens of thousands, and it is naturally not as prosperous as Rock City and the main city with a population of one million like Jiangnan County.
The bluestone pavement on the main street looks a little old, and many places are broken and have not been repaired. ….
The carriage often bumped on it, making the carriage in the carriage, Xiao Yu's chest hanging several catties of style, with the ups and downs, annoying.
"Childe, what are the stickers on the doors and windows of these houses?"
Xiao Yuliang pointed to the many portals on the side of the road and asked curiously.
Chu Ge looked at the depressed scene along the way in the city, frowned and said: "That is the mantra and Buddha flag of the Buddha Gate, the real Buddha Gate mantra and Buddha flag, which have the effect of driving away evil spirits and eliminating obstacles, you can get good fortune, avoid suffering, and be reborn in the Buddha land."
"But... Not necessarily."
This Qu Putrajaya is a capital city with a population of more than 100,000, but now what Chu Ge sees is that there are only a few shops open on the street, and the streets are chaotic, and you can often see them on both sides
to the young beggars.
Many of the people in the city had withered faces, but they were in good spirits, sitting cross-legged at home, chanting sutras and reciting Buddhas, and not going through mundane things.
I asked a guy from a shop for directions, and before nightfall, they came to one of the best inns in the city.
The business of the inn is a little deserted, but the decoration is good, and it seems that it should have been quite prosperous before.
Hearing the sound of Chu Ge and a few people coming in, the shopkeeper who was originally sitting behind the counter and napping suddenly brightened up, and he walked quickly with a smile on his face.
"A few guest officers, the boat is tired, please come inside."
Chu Ge shook the folding fan and said lightly, "Shopkeeper, do you have a separate courtyard in this inn?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, there is a single courtyard behind my inn, which is specially prepared for distinguished guests like Gongzi, and now it happens to be empty."
The cost of this single courtyard for one day is worth most of the other rooms in his inn, and when he heard that Chu Ge wanted to live in a single courtyard, the shopkeeper was naturally happy.
Chu Ge took out a gold ingot from his bosom and threw it to the shopkeeper:
"The money for the house, the money for the wine and food will be deducted from here first, and if it is not enough, come to me again."
The shopkeeper hurriedly took the gold ingot, put it in his mouth and bit it gently, and then immediately said more attentively:
"Enough is enough, Childe come with me, just tell me what you need, and ensure that good wine and good food are served every day."
Chu Ge nodded indifferently, followed the courteous shopkeeper, and walked towards the backyard.
The backyard of this inn is indeed connected to a small courtyard, which is enough for Chu Ge and his party to live.
After asking the shopkeeper to prepare wine and food and deliver them to the courtyard, Chu Ge walked into the main house, the main room of the main house was obviously a place to eat, with a square table and some chairs and stools.
On the left is a spacious bedroom, and on the right is a tea room and study.
In addition to the main house on the south side, there are bedrooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard.
Although Chu Ge didn't mind sleeping with him and working more at night, he obviously hadn't been able to achieve this goal yet.
Cai Wei has now basically been taken down by herself, but the red sleeves are ......
Although after a few months of getting along, with the countless experience accumulated by reading women, I have enhanced a lot of feelings, but there is still a long way to go before I can really succeed.
This sexy royal sister who has been in the cult for nearly twenty years is more psychologically guarded.
If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, but it is easy to cause side effects.
This sexy royal sister has been tinkering with the corpse of the three-grade evil path that she put away last time, and she doesn't know what horror things she is making, so it's better to be careful. ….
I don't want to be the first experimenter.
......
Day 2.
When Chu Ge came out of the house, he saw the shopkeeper who came to deliver breakfast.
Due to the cold business of the inn in recent years, the shopkeeper has dismissed most of the guys, and now many things are done by himself.
Chu Ge's courtyard was not closed at night, and the shopkeeper who was about to knock on the door saw Chu Ge come out, and said with a smile:
"Master Chu, the contemptible people have brought you breakfast, some of our characteristics of Fanzhou, you can taste it."
Chu Ge smiled, "Come in."
Chu Ge sat at the stone table in the courtyard, took the shopkeeper of the lunch box, walked to the stone table with a smile, put the lunch box down, and then took out the contents one by one.
There were two plates of steamed buns, several pies, five bowls of jelly, and a plate of what looked like dough.
The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced: "These are the characteristics of our Fanzhou, Fan buns, beef patties with cold noodles, and tsampa."
Caiwei, who was listening on the side, curiously picked up a piece of dough-shaped tsamba, put it under the upturned Qiong's nose and smelled it, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes showed a look of surprise.
I didn't expect this inconspicuous brown dough to have such a strong aroma.
Cai Wei's ruddy mouth opened slightly, took a careful bite, chewed carefully, and suddenly, a pair of beautiful eyes showed a look of surprise.
This tsampa tastes soft and fragrant, creamy
The fragrance, the sour and crisp of Qula, and the sweetness of sugar are very delicious.
Seeing that Cai Wei ate sweetly, several other women also joined in, Chu Ge picked up the last grain on the plate and tasted it.
The taste is really novel, but it is too dry, and it is good as dry food for going out.
It's the steamed buns, which are quite in line with Chu Ge's taste.
It is filled with minced lamb, lamb plate oil and green onions, and the skin is thin and filling, and the flavor is delicious.
After eating a delicious meal of Fanzhou morning tea, Chu Ge looked at the shopkeeper who was cleaning up the dishes and asked:
"Shopkeeper, how long has it been since the temple outside the city was built?"
The shopkeeper paused for his work, and then replied, "It's been more than a year."
More than a year?
Qubu City is still in the east of Fanzhou, and according to this time, the Western Regions Kingdom also went to Dali immediately after the fortunes of the Great Departure were greatly reduced.
It's just that the means are more ...... Uncanny.
Chu Ge said, "There are so many believers in more than a year? I saw a lot of villages along the way, the farmland is barren, the people are withering, this Buddhism is obviously very harmful, and the Zhou government doesn't care?"
The shopkeeper looked at Chu Ge, then stopped what he was doing, sighed and said:
"Gongzi just came to Fanzhou, and I don't know that the monks in these temples are basically from the Western Regions, and those who have attained the Tao and preach the Dharma can make people take refuge in Buddhism."
"In the beginning, those devout believers did get some benefits."
"Some people's stubborn illnesses that have plagued them for many years have been cured, and some people's prayers have been fulfilled...... This also attracts more and more people to go to the temple to listen to the lectures."
"With the increasing number of believers, these devout believers are willing to give everything for their faith, donate all the money in their homes, do not care about their livelihood, and worship the Buddha every day, turning this good city of Qubu into this kind in just one year." ….
Chu Ge asked again, "Zhou Mansion doesn't care about this?"
The shopkeeper looked at the four daughters brought by Chu Ge and confirmed that this prince was obviously not from the mansion.
Only then did he say: "Although the Zhou government did not come forward to help publicize the Buddha, but later, due to the increasingly obvious disadvantages of Buddhism, some sober people, seeing that the government did not act, united to resist the Buddha, smashed the temple, and drove the believers."
"In the face of this situation, the government has never come forward to help the Buddha Gate suppress it, and every time the Buddha Gate solves it on its own and reduces all those people."
"This seems to have nothing to do with Buddhism, but if there is no secret permission from the government, where will this temple be built, I'm afraid it won't be with the Buddhism to loot the people together."
Chu Ge was thoughtful, the attitude of this official government was very ambiguous.
Then he asked, "Then no one went to Beijing to file a complaint?"
Chu Ge really didn't hear any such news in Kyoto, and even the secret son of the imperial court didn't reciprocate.
The shopkeeper said, "Of course there are people going, and I heard that there are quite a few, and there is even a wandering Taoist immortal."
"But there has been no reply so far, and no one has returned, I don't know if the court doesn't care, these people have found another place to live, or these people...... They have all been poisoned."
Chu Ge's brows furrowed.
His clone is still in Kyoto, and if this is the case, then he will naturally know.
That's obviously because the news didn't get through.
It seems that those people are more than lucky.
Moreover, after Chu Ge entered Fanzhou, he also discovered a very strange phenomenon, that is, on the official road, he did not meet a single layman who went to Fanzhou, not even ordinary people.
I thought it was just an accident.
Now that I think about it, it's a little scary.
After the shopkeeper left, Chu Ge put on his red sleeves and prepared to go to the temple outside the city together.
Cai Wei stayed with Wu Jian Xiao Yu, Wu Jian and Xiao Yu have not yet broken through the innate and their strength is weak, Cai Wei stayed just in case.
With the immortal Dao fetus sitting on the divine soul, Chu Ge is not afraid of this demon monk's bewitchment.
increase
Only by seeing and hearing new things can you comprehend martial intent.
And when he touches the details of this Buddhism, he directly asks the doppelganger to go to his father-in-law and dean to report this matter, if the court can solve the plight of Fanzhou, he can be regarded as doing a good thing for the people.
Along the way, Chu Ge discovered.
I don't know if it's because I have some great luck in my body, every time I eliminate harm for the people, the power of luck in my body can increase a little.
Especially in Shizhou, the growth is particularly obvious.
The power of luck is a big hole card for yourself, and you must grasp it well if you can improve it.
Chu Ge and Red Sleeves, the two of them walked out of the inn and walked to Dongcheng on foot.
After walking for a long time, I saw two men in the uniforms of the officials, carrying a scrawny corpse, walking out of an alley.
One of the men spoke up with some indignation:
"Dozens of bodies have been carried away in the past few days, this Buddha is really ......."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Another companion interrupted the man and whispered, "Be careful, don't talk nonsense, it's not our turn to take care of this matter, just dispose of the corpse well, and don't cause a plague in the city."
The previously indignant man sighed and carried the body onto a cart with his companions.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen corpses piled up on the cart.
Chu Ge and Red Sleeves glanced at each other, the two didn't say anything, and continued to walk outside the city.
Qubu City is not big, and the two of them left the city gate after a while.
Coming to the outside of the city, Chu Ge pulled his red sleeves and came to a secluded place.
Chu Ge took out a veil and put the red cuff on it, while he wiped it on his face with both hands, and then changed his appearance.
Although the main body can't change as completely as the doppelganger, and even the body can be completely changed, if it's just disguised and unrecognizable, it's still very simple.
Chu Ge took out two coats from the Sumeru bag and changed himself and Red Sleeves into them.
After everything was ready, the two of them continued on their way to the evil temple that was the cause of trouble.
