54 Holy Monk 13
As a transportation hub to the land of the Hu people, Wanbeast County is very prosperous.
Merchants shuttled back and forth, caravans with heavy goods, and always stopped to repair and replenish when they arrived in Ten Thousand Beasts County, because after leaving Ten Thousand Beasts County, it was a long mountain road, and it was difficult to find even a place to rest.
Many years ago, Ten Thousand Beasts County, as its name suggests, was a habitat for wild beasts.
When the dynasty was opened, the world was unified, the Hu people did not dare to take it, bowed their heads and brows to do business with Daqing, Daqing's salt, wine, tea and porcelain were extremely popular among the Hu people, the border market business was prosperous, and the merchants sold Daqing's goods to the frontier from thousands of miles away, so that Wanbeast County finally began to prosper.
Wang Daxing drank the rice-scented liquor, looking in all directions, his seemingly drunk and hazy eyes were actually shrewd and sober.
This is not the first time he has passed through Ten Thousand Beasts County on a business trip, it is safe enough, so it is a great pleasure to drink a little wine with snacks and food, and then sleep well.
After passing through Ten Thousand Beasts County, I don't know how long it will take to rest again.
In the lobby, there is another caravan like them heading to the northwest, which occupies the lobby completely.
Previously, this caravan unfortunately encountered continuous spring rain, the road was not easy to walk, and many people had symptoms of wind cold, so they simply rested in Wanbeast County for a few more days, and the two caravans collided directly.
Wang Daxing invited the other party's supervisor to drink and discussed going together.
The bodyguards of the two teams combined are almost hundreds of people, and ordinary bandits are not afraid at all.
The chubby supervisor's surname is Zhang, who obviously has a bold personality, and quickly drinks with Wang Daxing.
The two caravans mainly sell different goods, there is no competition, besides, it doesn't matter if the goods are the same, on the side of the Hu people, how many goods can be eaten by the Hu people.
It happened to be raining outside, and it was pouring down all the time.
The caravan has been blocked in Ten Thousand Beasts County for several days.
Fortunately, the rain finally stopped today, and the sun came out, but the house was still very dark and damp.
"The rain is really annoying, but it's not big, but it has been raining for several days, and if the mud falls on the mountain, we don't dare to go." Director Zhang patted his big belly, "This worries me, I have lost ten pounds." β
"The dirt is too soft, and it's a nuisance for the carriage to get stuck in." Wang Daxing agreed.
The road from the capital to Wanbeast County, Lin Shoufu stared at it a few decades ago, and the road from Wanbeast County to the north was mostly mountain roads, and the young ones could afford to toss, and the skeletons of the old ones were going to be torn apart.
Director Zhang gnawed on an elbow beautifully: "Brother Wang, you eat this elbow, this is a unique rock sugar elbow in Wanbeast County, the meat is firm, not fat or firewood, just right, there is no such delicious elbow anywhere else, I have inquired, it is said to be related to the breed of pigs, I didn't believe in this evil at the beginning, and I took a few pigs back to my hometown with great hardship...... Tsk, guess what? β
Wang Daxing was attracted by his words and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
Director Zhang snorted, "The pig is raised in another place, and the meat quality has changed, and it is not as good as the native pig in my hometown." He took a big bite of meat, "It's a pity that I was still thinking about developing a pig breeding business." β
Wang Daxing was amazed.
The elbows of these two big plates were all gnawed up, and he knew why the business was so hard, and Director Zhang was still so fat.
Another caravan came (),?? Piggy Whip ?? Shake?? Not? Pigs? οΉ’???
?? Yao ??? ()?γ Come and see the latest chapter? Complete chapters'(), one is enough for half a month's business, not to mention that three are directly here.
As soon as he came out of the backyard, the shopkeeper saw a monk walking into the inn.
"Why did you come to a peace ...... Guru. The shopkeeper changed his words, looking at this demeanor, this temperament, and this appearance, it looked like the Buddha preached by the Buddhists.
Let's not talk about the master's ability, just this appearance, standing there, makes people willingly call the master.
At this moment, a parrot with a beautiful coat flew out from behind the master.
The parrot opened its mouth and shouted, "Shopkeeper, serve some delicious melon seeds and snacks, I'm starving to death." β
The master's eyebrows were warm, and he grabbed the parrot's neck, and the parrot let out a long scream, twisted its head, and glared at the master.
Dog host, you abuse the system again!
The master grabbed the parrot and smiled apologetically at the shopkeeper, "I'm sorry, the little monk's parrot is too rude." β
This smile seems to be in full bloom, and even the bad luck brought by the spring rain has been washed away, and the lobby is a lot brighter.
The big butt of the proprietress squeezed open the shopkeeper and stepped forward very enthusiastically, "Holy monk, do you want a bowl of noodles?" Our somen noodles are a must. He turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Go, give the parrot some seeds and snacks." β
The unearthly master refused, and saw him walk towards the table of Wang Daxing and Director Zhang, who were talking.
Coming to the two of them, he made a clasp of palms, "Amitabha, I have seen two donors. β
Director Zhang subconsciously hid his grease-stained hands behind him and wiped his clothes vigorously.
He believes in Buddhism, and when he sees monks on weekdays, he will subconsciously have a weak heart, probably because he loves meat too much, and he is very weak in the monks who advocate the prohibition of killing.
Wang Daxing hurriedly got up and saluted, "The master is polite." β
The master smiled brightly at this time, and spoke very godly, "The two donors have a relationship with the poor monk. β
The master said that fate is fate!
So he not only used the steamed buns of Wang Daxing and Director Zhang for white - but also for white steamed buns, but also for the carriage of prostitutes.
The parrot eating melon seeds and drinking water was puzzled: "Host, didn't the emperor say to give you the fastest horse and the best carriage, why don't you?" I have to ask for someone now. β
It was not that it said that the horses and carriages given by the emperor must have been better than those of these merchants, but the host refused, not only the carriages and horses, but also the coachmen and guards sent by the emperor to take care of him.
Jiang He didn't say well: "Have you ever seen a monk traveling west with a guard and a good horse?" β
Dear, this is not in line with the personality!
"I've seen it!" The parrot was very sure, "Tang Sanzang! Other people's horses are still white dragon horses! Oh, other people's bodyguards are apprentices, and they can fight a dozen thousands, which is much better than the guards. β
Jiang He was suddenly speechless, and said in distress: "But my character is a flowerless, and people are cows themselves!" β
He also wants an apprentice and rescuer like Monkey, but it's not for nothing! His apprentices haven't been able to fight on their own.
The parrot looked at the host and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the dog host insisted on wearing a white monk's robe, and thought that he was poor and exquisite! Not to mention, this pretending to have a fairy demeanor really has a bit of a flawless appearance.
"Mainly, I'm worried about riding in a carriage every day
() , being served by a group of people, will gain weight at that time. Jiang He complained that he now has a lot of idol baggage, look at how handsome his face is, can he still look fat and fat?
Parrot: "......" dog host, you're really thinking too much.
Jiang He continued: "Speaking of which, the monks of Xiangguo Temple eat vegetarian food every day, and there are many fat monks! Zhu Bajie is a vegetarian all the way west, tens of thousands of steps a day, and he also kills demons all the way, and exercises a lot, do you see that he has lost weight? β
He has a point.
The parrot rolled its eyes and didn't want to speak.
The parrot now feels comfortable on its host's shoulders, and it was afraid that it would gain weight if it ate too much, so it would have to fly two more laps each time to lose weight.
Jiang He's face project of the monk family has done a first-class job, and Wang Daxing and others were all overjoyed by his demeanor and appearance, and felt that he must be a powerful monk. How could an ordinary monk be so clean and clean on this rainy and muddy road in the spring? The parrot on his shoulder didn't even get half a drop of rain!
Now that they think about it, they still think it is incredible, and the master actually said that he would travel with them in three days.
Wang Dalu said: "Master, we want to set off tomorrow." β
It has been raining for the past few days, and today the rain finally stopped, the sun is shining, and tomorrow this road will definitely be dry, although they are not doing business to an inch of time and an inch of gold, but the truth that time is money is still understood.
The old god of the river is here, "It will rain tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be a day off, and you can only travel the day after tomorrow." β
Director Zhang looked skeptical, "The master will still look at the celestial phenomena?" β
The handsome and flawless master clasped his hands together, and his smile was moist and soft, "I know a little bit about it." β
Wang Daxing's shrewd eyes flashed, and a smile on his face made the boss face plain noodles and a few side dishes.
Anyway, if it doesn't rain, we will know tomorrow, and if this monk can see the celestial phenomena, then they will make a lot of money.
Of course, what happened later made Wang Daxing and Director Zhang make up their minds.
**
Wutong County, Orchid Village.
Qingyuan frowned as soon as he entered the kitchen, only to see a huge snake lying on a row of stoves in the kitchen, with the snake's tail sunk into the smallest pot, and the largest pot holding its huge snake head.
Qingwu who heard the sound was expressionless, this is not the first time, since the end of the hibernation of the big white snake, he has often followed them.
"Sure enough, it's full and there's nothing to do." Qingyuan muttered.
Qingwu gritted his teeth: "Senior brother, I want to eat steamed snake meat, stewed big snake in an iron pot...... I don't want to be a monk today, I just want to be a bald donkey! β
Qingyuan looked approving, "This snake is so big, it's enough for us to eat for three months." β
The Great White Snake finally lifted its head out of the pot, and the Snake Hiccinth hissed and stared at the Two-legged Beast viciously!
Its tail clattered and slapped the pot.
Yu Yuanwai rushed in distressed, touching the snake ancestor who had been fed by him again, "Snake ancestor, are you hungry?" Let's stop in the kitchen, go to the back mountain, I've prepared a sheep for you to eat! β
The big white snake finally retracted his gaze and looked at Yu Yuan aggrievedly.
Yu Yuanwai skillfully smoothed the skin of it, "I know, you miss the master!" I want to too, but the master can't help it, he has his own things to do, get up and have lunch, you see you've lost weight. β
The one outside Yu was distressed, and he couldn't wait to stuff the food into the stomach of the snake ancestor and let it grow a little longer.
Qingyuan and Qingwu saw that the corners of their mouths twitched.
There is a kind of thinness called thinking that you are thin outside the staff! Damn their stoves are about to collapse by this fat snake!
Yu Yuanwai was worried that their snake ancestor would be hungry, so he sent people every day to see when it would wake up and wake up
On the first day, I fed it dozens of chickens, ducks and geese, and said with a distressed face: "Eat more and eat more, you have lost weight." β
Skinny fart, is it the belly that is skinny?
Sure enough, after eating dozens of fat chickens, ducks and geese, the snake's belly really became fat, and then it began to make trouble.
"Our master is not here, he has gone to the capital." Qingwu said calmly, "We can't help it if you make trouble again." β
The big white snake didn't care, rolling around on the floor.
It doesn't matter, just think it's a rag, and the floor has to be wiped anyway.
Then the dead snake slipped outside the temple, the spring rain was continuous outside, and there were many puddles on the ground, it rolled in the mud puddles, and after turning into a mud snake, it slipped back to the temple and rolled around.
Yu is rich outside the staff, their master is exquisite, the floor of this temple is a refreshing light color, this dead snake rolls, how dirty it is!
The two brothers, plus the stones that come to the temple to visit them from time to time, the three of them wipe the floor every day, it's crazy!
Just when the brothers wanted to stew the big snake in an iron pot, Shi took two guards from the palace up the mountain.
"Senior brother, someone from the imperial court has come!" He shouted happily to the two senior brothers.
Not only was he happy, but he felt that the two senior brothers must be even more happy, they were about to be unable to stand this big snake.
After listening to the guard's meaning, Yu Yuanwai was also pleasantly surprised.
"The emperor summoned my snake ancestor?" He was so excited, hey, he said that his snake ancestor would be famous all over the world one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
When the big white snake heard that he was going to the capital, he stopped making trouble.
It misses the master very much, and finally winter passes, spring comes, and summer will follow, and its body is so cool, the master will definitely be happy to sleep with it in his arms!
Hmph, dead parrot get out of the way!
The two guards looked at this big white snake, not to mention, if it wasn't for its size, it would really be a bit silly.
Since ancient times, the large white beast has been said to be auspicious, and this big white snake must also be auspicious, no wonder the emperor wants to see it.
"Snake Ancestor!" Yu Yuan hugged the big white snake outside the staff, and cried with joy, "The emperor summoned you, my Yu family has finally glorified my ancestors." β
The big white snake patted Yu Wai with its tail in disgust, it is not surnamed Yu, it wants to be surnamed Jiang!
The two guards invited Yu Wai to go to Beijing together.
Since this big white snake is the ancestor of his family, it will definitely give him face, and the road is not so noisy.
To be honest, they really didn't expect it to be such a huge animal before they came, and even if they looked naΓ―ve, they were scared in their hearts! In the event of a powerful snake, they are not guaranteed to be able to subdue it.
Yu Yuanwai naturally agreed, and hurriedly said: "Two adults, our snake ancestors ate a lot of food, I have to prepare it!" Also, it's so big, it can't twist all the way to the road, right? It will frighten passers-by, why don't I transform it into a huge carriage, it will be a group
You can always stuff ......"
The big white snake was now able to understand human speech, and immediately stared at Yu outside the staff with dissatisfaction.
Yu Yuanwai whispered: "Ancestor, you bear with me, I'm worried that someone is not sober and wants to beat your idea and do something for the heavens......
The big snake hissed, and the tail flicked fast, and I was afraid that the two-legged beast would not make it?
Yu Yuanwai was well versed in Shun Mao's truth, and immediately said: "Of course you are not afraid, but if there are people blocking the road all the way, how much time will it take to get to the capital?" Don't you want to meet the master as soon as possible? β
The serpent's head suddenly "clicked" down, and it wanted to see the master as soon as possible.
Yu Yuan's voice outside the staff was not loud, but the two guards were trained and clear-sighted.
The two of them glanced at each other, and once again determined that they must invite them to accompany them, but they could not understand the hissing snake language.
**
No matter how fast Yu was outside, it still took ten days to prepare so many things.
At first, the two guards still had opinions, but when they saw the big white snake eating, they didn't speak for a while, and with this amount of food, they couldn't feed even if they went hunting for twelve hours a day.
Yu ordered a particularly large, particularly high carriage, the big white snake nest into the found that it is quite spacious, they only need to roll into two circles, do not need to coil into mosquito coils, immediately very satisfied.
The carriage was drawn by three horses, followed by several carriages, which were all drawn by the Great White Snake's reserve grain.
The two guards were expressionless.
They hesitantly asked, "All this is what it eats?" β
Could it be too much? No wonder this snake eats so fat, look at its belly, it seems that it has never been eliminated.
Yu Yuanwai sighed: "Of course these are not enough, but the journey is hard, the chickens, ducks and geese are not fresh, and when you pass by a place with a city, you will buy some fresh food for the snake ancestor." β
He looked sorry for the snake ancestor and let it eat stale and inferior food, and the corners of the two guards' mouths twitched.
At this time, they only had one thought: so particular, can the emperor afford to raise the snake ancestor of the Yu family?
The big white snake nests in the carriage, which is a specially enlarged carriage, and it can also exercise its head and neck in the carriage, with its upper body lying on the roof of the carriage and the lower body coiled on the soft quilt in the carriage.
Yu Yuanwai was afraid that it would feel that the carriage was bumpy, so he spread a thick quilt in the carriage, so that the big white snake could rest his tail with confidence.
The way it rests its tail is to let its tail wagging wildly, and it doesn't worry about being dismantled by the carriage when it hits the quilt.
It's just that in this way, the carriage shook so violently that uninformed people would think that something inappropriate for children was happening in the carriage, until a snake's tail stretched out.
"Dude, your carriage...... Carriage ......"
The passers-by shook their hands and pointed to the huge snake's tail, and their voices trembled unspeakably.
The two guards sighed, opened the curtain of the carriage behind them, and said vaguely: "Oh, this, we are transporting animals......
Passers-by saw the chickens, ducks and geese in cages and suddenly realized, "It turns out that they are all ingredients." β
The snake in the car in front of it is not strange, the snake is full of treasures, snake skin, snake meat, snake gall snake venom, and the dignitaries in the capital want to taste the dragon liver and phoenix gall, not to mention the snake meat.
But such a big snake tail
, It can be seen that there must be a lot of meat on the snake body, and he suggested that you can have a snake to eat more!
The big white snake in the carriage didn't know the dirty minds of human beings, and they didn't know that they were being used as ingredients.
It put its tail away with a weak heart, if it wasn't for the sake of seeing the master, it really hadn't suffered so much in its life, God knows that it originally wanted to stick its head out to let go of the wind, but now only the tail can stick out and let go of the wind, it is really wronged.
Yu Wai skillfully entered the carriage to coax it, "Ancestor, if you bear with me, you will be able to see the master in ten days." β
His snake ancestors were rich, and the carriage was not fast, and the running was uncomfortable and bumpy, so the group could only walk slowly.
The big white snake looked at Yu Yuanwai resentfully, and hissed: I said that I walked by myself at night, and it slid very fast!
A drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead.
The snake ancestor could see at night, he was old and his eyes were not good, and the two guards became blind at night, afraid to drive the carriage into the ditch.
When the big white snake heard this reason, he hissed for most of the day.
Yu Yuanwai finally understood this time, the snake ancestor just blamed them for the uselessness of the two-legged beast, he pretended not to hear, his own snake ancestor, if he wants to scold his grandson, he has to bear it!
The two guards felt that the road was comfortable, they were fast horses when they came, and they ate dry food, and now several carriages were loaded with the reserve grain of the big white snake, and as soon as they arrived at the meal, they grabbed it and took it down, either roasted, fried, or boiled soup, and they all gained a little fat.
The big white snake doesn't care about these, mainly every time the car is a little empty, Yu will immediately go to replenish the reserve food, and if he is as generous as it, he won't worry about the two-legged beast.
On this day, after eating and drinking with the snakes, they continued to set off for the capital.
The two eldest guards sat lazily on horseback, it was noon, and they were a little sleepy when they were full.
Yu Yuan was asleep in the carriage, and the big white snake was playing with his tail without a match.
This is a habit it has recently developed, and it is particularly interesting to turn its head around its tail, tie its long body in a few knots, and then slowly untie it.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Suddenly, a whimpering cry sounded in the wind, as if it was blocked by something.
The Great White Snake erected its upper body alertly, its knotted tail stretched out.
Before cultivating, it was not only short-sighted but also deaf and dumb, since it cultivated, it had specially strengthened its inner ears and eyes with aura, and now it is the hexagonal warrior that the master said, perfect!
When the guards and the coachman saw the two carriages approaching, they were not impressed.
The official road is so big, horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, and people come and go.
Until a huge snake's tail sticks out and slaps the coachman of the oncoming carriage down.
"Ahhh......h
When the coachman fell, the horse was also frightened, and the carriage staggered and was about to overturn, when the snake's tail flung again, and miraculously straightened the overturned carriage.
All this happens in an instant, and it is dazzling to watch.
The brown horse was so frightened that his legs were so weak that he could not move, and the two horses trembled and soon collapsed on the ground as a sign of submission to the serpent.
The big white snake had already come out of the carriage, and with a "snap", it beat back the fierce coachman who jumped up soon after falling to the ground, and the coachman's nosebleed spurted out, and even his front teeth were knocked out.
The coachman of the carriage behind saw this scene and screamed: "Ahhhh Big snake! Youkai! β
This series of accidents made the two guards sober up in an instant, and they shouted, "Big White Snake, stop!" β
But the big white snake didn't listen to them at all, the guards were so anxious that they couldn't do it, if they let the big white snake hurt people on the road, they were afraid that after they arrived in the capital, the emperor would blame them.
The two guards swallowed their saliva, directly pulled out the knife, and were angry, the beast is really a beast, what has been baptized by the Buddha and understands human nature is!
The two of them were on guard while waking up outside.
"Outside the staff, wake up!"!
