Chapter 389: Monks, Taoist Priests, Women, and Children
"This "Demon Ape Refining Sutra of the Mixed World" is really extraordinary. ”
Ye Qing opened his eyes, his face was unconcealed joy, his current strength was at least more than double that of ten days ago.
When he opened the window and found that the sky was already bright, Ye Qing squinted his eyes and looked at all kinds of people coming and going on the street, with a comfortable look on his face.
"Brother Chu and Brother Lin should be here in the next two days!"
Since he left Chaotian Peak that day, he first wrote an anonymous letter of resignation, told the local Jing'an Division about the Rendan of Hongsha Village, and then went all the way south, detouring through Qinghe and Hejian counties until Tianyong.
With Chen Wuxin here, the two of them didn't encounter any danger or blindness along the way, and they arrived at Tianyong smoothly.
The place where they are now is Tianyongfu City, that is, a city outside Tianyong City, because it is located in the northwest of Tianyong City, so it is called Xiyong, and it is also very prosperous.
Two days ago, they arrived in Xiyong, and the reason why they didn't enter Tianyong City directly was just because Chen Wuxin heard that Xiyong had three uniques, so he had to make a fuss to come and see, Ye Qing also planned to wait here for Chu Nianjiu, Lin Yuhuai and the little Taoist.
And the so-called Xiyong three uniques, one is the roast pigeon of Yonghelou, the second is the tea wine of the Qingxin Tea Workshop, and the third is the neon dress and feather dance of the Zhengyan Palace.
He accompanied Chen Wuxin to taste the roast pigeon and tea wine, which is indeed a must, and the taste is endless.
But he didn't go to the Neon Dress and Feather Dance.
Well, it's not that he doesn't want to go, it's true that there are too many people, and as the Hidden Dragon Conference is slowly approaching, a large number of outsiders have poured into Tianyong and several cities near Tianyong.
These people, there are scattered people in the rivers and lakes, elites of various sects, disciples of big families, strange people with a skill, scholars and scholars who travel to study and study, etc., so many idlers gather together, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, what else can they do?
Therefore, the long queue of Zhengyan Palace has long been lined up at the gate of the city, and all of them are rich and powerful people, and there is no way to cut the line, and when it is his turn, the daylily will be cold.
So, he didn't go to join in the fun.
However, Chen Wuxin was full of interest, and he had to go to see the dance of neon clothes and feathers, well, watching the dance is secondary, mainly to see the beauty.
I don't know what kind of life Chen Wuxin lived in Xudu, after coming to the world, he went crazy, eating, drinking and having fun everywhere, as if he wanted to repay all the hardships he suffered in Xudu, just these ten days of hard work, Chen Wuxin spent thousands of taels of snowflakes and silver, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a loser.
Fortunately, he had scavenged a lot of silver from the Chaotian Kou, otherwise it would not have been enough for Chen Wuxin to eat, drink and have fun along the way.
"Let's go down and get something to eat!"
After practicing boxing all night, Ye Qing was also a little hungry and was about to go downstairs to eat something.
When I came to the lobby, the hall was already full of people, and it was full of people.
Ye Qing glanced at it and found that only a few tables were still vacant, and the rest were full, but on the few tables where there were vacant seats, the sitting ones were not good.
In the southeast corner, near the window, there was a fat-headed and big-eared monk, who looked quite kind, but the ring knife on the wooden table was stained with blood, and there was a smell of blood, and the food on the table was not vegetarian dishes, all of them were big fish and meat, and there was no green at all.
Adjacent to the monk, there is a mother and son, the woman wears a veil, she can't see her age, but her figure is exquisite, like a ripe peach, and the famous child is about seven or eight years old, looking pink carved jade, very cute.
In the corner of the north wall, there was a scholar, but the scholar seemed to be suffering from a vicious disease, his face was sallow, he was coughing constantly, and saliva and sneezing splashed all over the table, but the scholar didn't seem to care at all, and still ate unhurriedly.
On the empty table in the corner of the west wall, there is an old Taoist priest who tells fortunes, and on the wall next to him leans against a flag, with the inscription "Iron Mouth Straight Break". However, the strange thing is that on the table where the fortune teller sits, there are three pairs of chopsticks in the other three positions where no one sits, and there are rice and vegetables in the bowls, and the chopsticks are inserted upside down.
As the saying goes, there are four taboos when walking the rivers and lakes: monks, Taoist priests, women and children.
Because these four kinds of people generally don't walk the rivers and lakes, but since they are gone, they have the ability that ordinary people can't reach, don't mess with them, don't mess with them, otherwise they are likely to capsize in the gutter.
Now, among the four empty tables in the lobby, monks, Taoist priests, women and children occupy three tables, and the remaining table is a scholar, but the scholar is seriously ill, coughing constantly, and spitting stars splash all over the table, let alone eating, just look at it.
After pondering for a while, Ye Qing still walked up to the monk and arched his hand: "Master, now that the guests are full, is it convenient to share a table under it?"
There's no way, the scholar really can't get off the butt, the Taoist doesn't seem to have a place on the side, and he can't go to join in the fun on the side of women and children, so after thinking about it, only the monk is left.
"This place is not a sprinkle house, you can sit casually. ”
The monk didn't raise his head.
"Then thank you, Master. ”
Ye Qing sat down according to his words and said with a smile: "Under the surname Ye, you haven't asked the master for the law number?"
"Eat when you eat, ask so much what are you doing, haven't you heard the saying that right and wrong are just because you talk too much, and your troubles are all because you are strong?" said the monk impatiently.
"Hehe, it's abrupt. Ye Qing smiled, and didn't care, anyway, he was just polite, he was here to eat, not to recognize his brother.
After a while, Xiao Er brought Ye Qing's food, and by the way, Ye Qing also asked for a pot of wine, eating and drinking at the same time, so comfortable.
"What kind of wine do you have, it smells very fragrant, bring a cup to the Sprinkler family?" just took a few sips, and the monk sitting opposite suddenly said.
"Does the master also drink?" Ye Qing asked.
"Meat is eaten, and wine is not to be drunk. The monk said heroically: "Hurry up, let the Sprinkle family also taste it." ”
"Good. Ye Qing raised the wine jug and poured a glass for the monk, the monk took the wine, drank it all, licked his lips and said: "The wine is strong but not dry, the entrance is mellow, good wine." ”
"Bring another cup to the Sprinkler, no, the cup is too small, it tastes boring, pour a bowl for the Sprinkler." ”
Ye Qing glanced at the wine jug in his hand, and then looked at the other party's sea bowl that was bigger than his head, and felt that this pot of wine poured into it might not even be able to fill half a bowl, so he smiled and said: "Since the master likes this wine, I will give it to you, to thank the master for giving up his seat." ”
"Haha...... You're a doll too. The monk snorted, unceremoniously took the wine in Ye Qing's hand and poured it into his mouth.
After a few sips, a pot of wine entered the monk's stomach, and after drinking, the monk spewed out a mouthful of wine, his face was not red and he did not pant and said: "Good wine, but the amount is a little less." ”
"Okay, I won't bully you a little doll at the Sprinkle family, this is for you, and it will be regarded as the Sprinkle family buying your wine. ”
The monk threw something to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing followed casually, but it was a jade wrench, and it was an extremely rare green jade, delicate and smooth, warm and moist, obviously someone often played with it.
"This is too precious to ask for in the next. Ye Qing excused himself.
"Let you take it, just take it, the Sprinkle family doesn't like someone to refuse the Sprinkle family the most. The monk stared at the big eyes of the copper bell, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a posture that if you don't take it, you just won't give me face.
"That'...... It's disrespectful to be below. Ye Qing smiled bitterly and accepted it, he had seen a lot of things grabbing, and it was the first time he had seen people forcing people to collect things.
"Old Taoist, are you a fortune teller?"
Ye Qing took the jade wrench into his arms, and did not include it in the Nine Heavens in front of the monk, walking the rivers and lakes, and his wealth was not exposed.
As soon as he put away the jade wrench, an abrupt voice came into Ye Qing's ears.
Ye Qing looked over, only to see that at some point, two slightly drunk people from the rivers and lakes walked in front of the old Taoist priest who told fortunes.
"Do you want to find an old man to tell your fortune?" the fortune teller asked, raising his head.
"Nonsense, I'm not looking for you to tell my fortune, but I'm looking for you to drink?" Hiccup......" A bearded man burped and said, "Come, give us a calculation, can my two brothers make a splash at the Hidden Dragon Conference this time and become famous?"
"It's okay to ask the old man to tell his fortune, but do you know that the old man has a rule for fortune telling?" said the fortune teller.
"Rules, what bullshit rules?" The bearded man swept the three pairs of chopsticks on the table to the ground, and said angrily: "Hurry up and count it for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you all over the ground to find teeth?"
"Hurry up. ”
The thin man next to the bearded man also urged.
"There is no way of good fortune and misfortune, but people call themselves, since the guests insist on this, then the old man will calculate a hexagram for you. The fortune teller did not get angry because of the other party's rude behavior, and looked at the bearded man's face and said: "The forehead angle is wide, which is a blessing, but the atrium is scattered and gathered, which is a blessing but no blessing, which means that your family is solid and rich in the first half of your life, but in the second half of your life, your family is in the middle of the road and is displaced." ”
"Shut up, Lao Tzu is asking you to count whether I can make a name for myself at the Qianlong Conference this time, don't give me all the things I don't have?" was exposed to the secret in his heart, and the bearded man said angrily.
"Honestly, no. The fortune teller said: "And the guest has a bad eyebrow, and he is in the atrium, which means that you have a bad luck when you go out." ”
"Stinky Taoist, what are you talking about?" The thin man grabbed the old Taoist priest by the collar, and said viciously: "I think you have a bad luck, and if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you?"
"The old man just looks at the fate of each other, as for whether to believe it or not, it's your problem. The fortune teller flicked lightly, and the thin man unconsciously let go of his right hand holding the collar of the old Taoist.
"Since the old man told your fortune for you, it is time for you to fulfill your promise. ”
"Promise, what did Lao Tzu promise you?" the bearded man said puzzled.
The fortune teller picked up the flag leaning against the wall and showed the back of it, on which the words "life for life" were written, and the four words on the front were combined: "The iron mouth is straight off, and life is exchanged for life".
"What do you mean by exchanging lives for lives?" said the bearded man.
"It means that the old man counts a life for you, then you have to help the old man kill someone, which is called life for life. The fortune teller said slowly: "Since the old man has helped you see the appearance and approve the fate, then you have to help the old man kill someone now." ”
"Murder? straight lady thief, you are not a fortune teller, you are a madman. The bearded man laughed: "It's really unlucky, I met a madman, if I wasn't in a good mood today, I would have to beat you half to death?"
"Si'er, let's go. ”
The bearded man sneered and walked towards the outside of the restaurant with the thin man.
"If people don't save themselves, why blame others? The fortune teller smiled and shook his head.
It's just that as soon as the two of them walked to the street outside the door, the thin man seemed to be enchanted, took out a knife from his arms, and stabbed it into the body of the bearded man.
Then, pull it out, poke it in again, and several times in a row.
The red blood splashed all over the thin man's face.
