Chapter 11 Something and Nothing
Because after Jue Xing sat down, there was not even ash left, and it completely dissipated in heaven and earth. Qiu Ye, Xiao Chang and the bald marmot could only accompany the two brothers Junbao and Tianbao to build a mound for Master Juexing.
From beginning to end, the noses and eyes of the two little bald heads were red from crying. The little civet felt uncomfortable and cried together for a while.
The little Taoist priest Qiu of Taiping Mountain also looked at the three people who hugged their heads and cried together, and also sighed again and again. Qiu also finally decided to get some food first, and after a while, the three of them were crying and hungry, at least there was something delicious to fill their stomachs. The bald marmot looked at the three people who were hugging their heads and crying, and then looked at the little Taoist, and finally decided to follow the little Taoist to get food.
Everyone accompanied Junbao and Tianbao to stay in front of Juexing's clothes for ten days before setting off northward again. Along the way, Junbao and Tianbao have been listless, and even the little civet has not been in a high mood, and has lost its previous liveliness and cheerfulness. The little Taoist priest Qiu Ye and the bald marmot took care of the diet of the three people all the way, because Qiu Ye has good skills, the two little bald heads and the little civet are full of foodies, so every time they eat, it is a rare happy time for everyone in the day.
On this day, everyone finally came to Jinguancheng, the first big town in Shudi, and finally no longer had to eat and sleep. Jinguancheng is located in the north of Yizhou, is the capital of Shu County, because of the abundance of Shu brocade, the emperor placed the Jinguan in this place to handle the supply and demand of Shu brocade and got the name of Jinguancheng. At the same time, because the city is full of hibiscus trees, when the flowers bloom, the city is surrounded by hibiscus flowers, so it is called Hibiscus City by the people. When Qiu Ye and Xiao Chang came to the crowd, it was September, and the hibiscus flowers bloomed, and the city was full of brilliance, like splendor.
Xiao Chang Fox and Jun Bao, Tianbao three have been in Jinguan City at the moment, these three people, Xiao Chang Fox has not left the valley for more than 2,000 years, Jun Bao and Tianbao have grown up in the two Zen temples since childhood, and they have never even been out of the mountains since they were children. So now the three little guys who are entering the city for the first time in their lives feel fresh and fun when they see everything.
The bald marmot hidden in the bamboo box of the small civet also secretly lifted the lid of the bamboo box from time to time, and kept looking at all kinds of new and interesting things outside. The bald groundhog is very happy now, and has begun to admire his vision of picking his master, if he hadn't met the little civet and them, he probably didn't know that he would have to cultivate for hundreds of years before he had the courage to come to Jinguancheng and other prosperous towns inhabited by humans to take a look, and he might be regarded as a successful virtue by those cultivators at any time to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
Qiu also looked at the little fox who had become lively and the two brothers Junbao and Tianbao finally put their minds at ease. It's been days since I've seen that bright smile.
The little civet picked a hairpin of hibiscus flowers, a silk brocade woven sac, and a lot of small objects on the roadside stall. Junbao and Tianbao, the two little bald heads, also took a fancy to some small objects that were special products of Jinguancheng. It's just that when it was time to pay, the little civet and the two little bald heads were dumbfounded, and none of the three had any money. Then the three of them, three pairs of big watery eyes, looked at Qiu Ye who was standing next to him. Qiu also blushed, touched his nose and said a little embarrassed: "I... I didn't bring any money with me. ”
When everyone was disappointed and ready to return what they had liked to the stall owner, there was a rapid knocking sound from the bamboo box carried by the little civet on his back. The four of them hurriedly ran to the alley next to it, squatted on the ground and formed a small circle, put the bamboo box on the ground, and opened the lid to see what happened to the bald marmot.
As soon as the lid was opened, the bald marmot showed a very dog-legged signature smile at the little civet, and its two large teeth glistened in the sun. Then the bald marmot threw up in front of the four of them.
"Little fat man, you are really a little tyrant. The little civet happily stroked the bald marmot's fluffy little head, which was shaking its fat ass very doggedly.
Just now, the bald marmot spit out a large pile of gold and silver jewelry from his mouth in front of everyone. Not only did it successfully solve the problem of everyone's purchase, but even everyone's food and accommodation in Jinguancheng in the past few days was enough. So, at this time, Qiu Ye, Xiao Chang Fox and Jun Bao and Tianbao were two little bald heads holding a string of sugar gourds happily while walking and eating, of course, there was also a string of big marmots in the bamboo box.
The time of youth should be the willows, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring is bright.
Now the children walking on the street who are happily eating sugar gourds have passively taken on too many responsibilities that should not be borne at their age.
There is something in the world,
It's rare that there is nothing to do today.
Qiu also took a few little guys who were tired of shopping and prepared to find a place to invest in the stack, and Xiao Chang picked the most famous Jinjiang Inn in Jinguan City to stay. Jinjiang Inn is located in the most prosperous Chunxi Square in Jinguan City, located in Zhuangyuan Lane, Zhuangyuan Lane is named after the Wutong Academy at the mouth of the alley. Next to Wutong Academy is the most famous Baicao Hall in Sichuan, and Jinjiang Inn is located in the deepest part of the alley. The alleys outside the inn next to the academy are covered with sycamores, and the sound of books is loud. The glazed lotus lamps in the inn reflect each other, and the aroma of skillfully carved wood is heavy.
Xiao Chang picked a courtyard lotus pond in the upper room of the inn and a few people to live in. There are a total of six courtyards where the lotus pond is located, namely Yuanqiao, Lotus Boat, Songxi, Cuishan, Liting and Lotus Pond. Among them, the lotus pond is the smallest one of the six courtyards, the courtyard has a total of three upper rooms, there is a lotus pond in the courtyard, rockeries, pavilions are complete, and the guests can enjoy and play. Xiao Chang picked the largest main room, and the other two side rooms, Junbao and Tianbao lived in one, and Xiao Taoist Qiu also lived in one with the bald marmot of the gold lord.
Everyone slept in the open for a few days, and the joy and sorrow of the great monk Juexing, they were reluctant to move when they entered the courtyard at this time, so they instructed the shopkeeper to get some food unique to Jinguancheng and send it to the room. Jinguancheng has a special kind of food called hot pot, the method only needs to put the required things into the pot that has prepared the bottom of the pot in advance and boil, this hot pot is delicious and convenient while eating, most people can't stop eating it. At this time, Qiu Ye, Xiao Chang Raccoon, two small bald heads and a big groundhog were sitting in front of the hot pot and their tongues were spicy, but they were still flying fast and eating non-stop. After a while, the food on the table was swept away, and Qiu Ye and the others went back to their rooms to rest with their round little bellies.
It was the night moon and the dark wind was high, and there were only bursts of insects chirping in the grass. Qiu, who was meditating, suddenly felt several unusual breath fluctuations, as if he was a cultivator. Qiu also got up and pushed open the door of the house, and came to the courtyard, only to see the little civet tiptoeing in the courtyard.
"Little Taoist, there is someone sneaky next door, he shouldn't have done anything good, go and see. Seeing Qiu Ye, the little fox squeezed his eyebrows and made his eyes, and encouraged Qiu Ye to say.
"Raccoon, the other party shouldn't be coming for us. Let a sleeping dog lie. ”
"Oh. The little civet groaned, and then tiptoed onto the roof.
"What are you going to do, Raccoon?" Qiu also shouted in a low voice.
"Go next door and see the excitement. If you don't want to go, go back to sleep, good~"
The little Taoist Qiu also sighed, and jumped onto the roof with a vertical leap, "Chang Raccoon, wait for me." ”
"Shh~" Xiao Chang also gestured to Qiu, meaning that Qiu should not make a sound and restrain his breath.
Under the moonlight, the little Taoist priest wearing a free scarf and the round-faced little girl in a plain gauze brocade robe lay side by side on the roof of the courtyard next door, and the little girl casually took out a handful of fried beans and handed it to Qiu Ye. Qiu also shook her head, and the little girl ate it herself.
The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, and it is lively with fried beans.
In the courtyard of the Pear Pavilion, two middle-aged men in Shu brocade black robes were chatting, and there were seven or eight people lying in front of them, obviously poisoned, all with painful faces, looking at the two people in front of them in horror.
"Third brother, these people still have some skills, I took such a large dose of medicine, even the first six hundred catties of wild boar were put down. They've survived until now. The younger man said to the older man.
"Tang Qi, you melon baby, what are you blowing at this time? The older man said and kicked the man who was called Donald on the ass.
"Ba Shi, third brother. Tang Qi covered his buttocks with one hand, took out a scroll of paintings from his arms with the other, and compared them with everyone present one by one according to the portraits on it. After a short while, put away the scroll. Turning his head to the older man in brocade, he said, "Third brother, it's done, it's not bad." ”
"Tang Qi, hurry up and deal with these hals. Tang San said and raised his head and hugged his fist at the roof where Qiu Ye and Xiao Chang were located: "Two little friends, I've been watching it for a long time." Do you want to come down and take a look, you can see it more clearly here. ”
"No, we're going back to sleep. It's not interesting. The little civet threw the last few fried beans into his mouth, patted off the residue in his hand, and pulled the little Taoist Qiu to leave. Qiu also said slightly apologetically: "It's the two of us who are ignorant, and we disturbed the two of us, and it's a lot of offense, please continue, don't worry about us." ”
Looking at the two people who swaggered away, Tang Qi was puzzled: "Third brother, why did you just let those two Har's go." ”
"That little Taoist priest is a Taoist priest of Taiping Mountain, and the little girl has a deep relationship with the two Zen temples. There were also two little monks living in their courtyard. ”
"Daoist, monk, little girl, how did these people get together?" Before Tang San finished speaking, Tang Qi couldn't help but ask curiously.
Tang San glanced at Tang Qi and continued: "As soon as they entered the city, the master of the gate knew about it, and he had already ordered all families not to conflict with these people, and try not to interfere with the river water as much as possible. You've been outside following these harls lying on the ground, so you don't know. ”
"Well, the Tang Sect has become a lively thing in the eyes of others, since the owner and the third brother don't care, of course I have no opinion, I, Tang Qi, is the life of work. ”
Without waiting for Tang Qi to finish speaking, Tang San kicked Tang Qi's ass again. "You're a melon baby, and you're blowing your shell. ”
Tang San only told Tang Qi what the door master meant just now, but there was one more thing he didn't tell Tang Qi. In fact, the entire pear pavilion was banned by Tangshan in advance with Qi poison, this Qi poison is colorless and tasteless, the wind does not disperse, all over the entire pear pavilion courtyard, a wall separates two worlds, there is nothing outside the wall, if you climb over the wall and enter, once you cross the boundary, you will be poisoned to death, so as long as you don't enter the yard, there will be no problem. This poison can only be touched by the inner door of the Tang Sect, and Tang Qi, as the outer gate, does not know it.
The round-faced little girl and the little Taoist priest of Taiping Mountain just now not only did not get poisoned, but even watched the excitement calmly throughout the whole process, which made Tang San jealous.
As a mysterious killer organization that existed in the pre-Qin period, the Tang Sect in Shuzhong collected money to kill people and never missed. For a thousand years, the Tang Gate under the mountain has been more of a legend and a talking point, and no one has really seen the Tang Gate do things, because the people who have seen it have died.
