Chapter Eighty-Three

That day, the thunder struck down, but it frightened the people of the imperial city for a hundred kilometers, and some timid people almost died on the spot. The people who didn't see it all talked about how violent Lei was that day, and burned the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to ashes. It must be that the right minister usually did something unseemly to anger the gods, and now the gods blame him, which is really happy!

But the Taoist chief and Shen Di came all the way and found that these ordinary people were talking nonsense, and some people thought that there was a person with the right name who was hacked to death, which was really strange.

Originally, Yun was also going to bring it at will, because the Taoist chief was not worried that she would stay alone in Lingxuguan, but as soon as she heard that she was going to Jinling, she held a tree alive and did not let go, and the Taoist had no choice but to rely on her. When I looked back, I couldn't wait to write the words "take me" on Shen Di's face, but I had no choice, so I reluctantly took him with me.

When he really arrived in Jinling, the Taoist chief realized what a big mistake it was to bring the gods. The teenager was so noisy that it was unimaginable. The Taoist had not walked a few steps before he had to stop to see him say hello to the grocery grocery shopping lady on the side of the road, talk eagerly with every vendor, help the children buy sugar gourds, etc., and it took him half a street in one morning.

Today, because of going to the street, Shen Tu no longer wears his black robe, but changes into a dress that is most commonly worn by young people nowadays, and he looks like a handsome beautiful boy except for his pale face, so he is especially liked by those aunts. After a while, the Taoist chief had so many dishes in his hand that he couldn't take them, and Shen Di was still talking happily with the grocery shopping aunt.

"So is the Right Prime Minister's Mansion on fire?"

"No! It's scared to death! I don't know what's going on, that thunder! I haven't seen it in so long!"

"Did you kill anyone?"

As soon as the aunt wanted to speak, a pair of imperial city guards happened to come over. She was stunned, and immediately changed the topic from kindness: "Little brother, how old are you this year?

Shen Tu didn't know how to answer, and looked at the Taoist chief as if asking for helpβ€”"No, no, no ......"

"Eh, that's good!" The aunt seemed to have a smile on her face: "My little daughter is not married yet, how about giving it to you?"

"Yes, yes!"

The Taoist chief covered his mouth and smiled at the aunt: "I'm sorry, my apprentice is a bit stupid and not suitable for marriage." ”

"That's it......" The aunt shifted her gaze to the Taoist again: "The Taoist is a Huoju Taoist priest?

Looking at her enthusiastic gaze, the Taoist chief suppressed the urge to beat people in his heart, and piled the pile of vegetables in his hand directly in front of the aunt: "I'm sorry, little girl, I don't have the idea of marrying at the moment." ”

It seems that this master is not very good at using his brain, and he actually calls me a little girl," the aunt thought to herself, "I am blind with such a handsome face." ”

So she watched the master and apprentice leave with a very regretful gaze, and Shen Tu was still puzzled and asked, "Why do you say I'm stupid? Do I look stupid?"

The Taoist began to miss Qiyun's casual kindness, at least she wouldn't be so noisy. He was sure that this was the one ghost king he had ever talked about the most. The previous ones either had gloomy faces all day long, or they just sneered, as if this was the only way to match the eerie horror of the underworld, which was really strange.

Thinking about it, they had unconsciously walked to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. But as soon as he tried to get close to the door, one of the guards came up impatiently: "What are you doing, what are you doing!

It stands to reason that there was such a big movement yesterday, and today the Right Prime Minister's Mansion should be different from usual. But there were no onlookers, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. It looks like what a normal day should be. All the secrets were sealed behind the closed Zhu Gate, and if you couldn't get in, it would be impossible to wait for the right street to announce it.

"Master, when I was just chatting with those people, there was a tofu seller who said that when he passed by early in the morning, he saw the right minister's sedan chair hurriedly entering the palace, and he was almost caught and beaten by the guards for peeking. Did the emperor summon him to ask about the thunder that day?"

"This probably means that it was not him who was killed by that thunderbolt," the Dao Chief pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Apprentice, will you climb over the wall?"

Shen Di's eyes widened instantly: "No! I don't steal!"

"Who wants you to steal," the Taoist priest grabbed Shen Tu's neck with his hand and pulled him aside, "Shall we sneak in at night and see?"

"Okay," he nodded, "as long as you don't steal." ”

The Taoist chief didn't understand why this young man was obsessed with stealing, did he look like a thief?

It's still morning, and it's at least five hours before dark, and the rest of the time is going to be difficult. The Taoist chief endured the noise of the gods in boredom, and finally it was lunch time, when he stopped at the door of a restaurant, turned his head and asked, "Are you hungry?"

This restaurant is the largest one in Jinling City, and its name is "Mingyue Building". Sometimes the officials of the lower dynasty will also choose to gather here, so every time it is less than lunch time, they have already begun to get busy, and all kinds of diners come in and out, so it can be regarded as a scene of Jinling.

The Taoist knew that Shen Tu would not be hungry, but in order to interrupt him, he had to interject casually, and by the way, he tried to plug his mouth with food. Sure enough, Shen Tu asked, "What is hunger?"

"It's just that you want to eat. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"I've taken it, I've drunk it, it's not good. ”

"What are you doing with medicine?"

"Liu Dazhuang gave me a drink, and he said that he boiled too much medicine and couldn't drink it. ”

"Who is Liu Dazhuang?"

"Begged with me before, huh...... He would be over a hundred years old by now, if he was still alive. ”

β€œ......”

The Taoist Governor preferred not to have asked him himself. He walked into the restaurant with Shen Di, specially picked the place with the most people to sit down, and said to Xiao Er, who came to greet him: "Just come here with a few plates of the most expensive food." He sat down and subconsciously took out his teacup and turned it in the palm of his hand.

Shen Tu looked around curiously, he used to pass by these restaurants sometimes when he was begging, but he never entered. But he didn't dare to move, just sat in a proper manner, and after a while, the eyes of several female guests glanced at him.

"Listen. The Taoist said suddenly.

"Listen to what?" asked Shen Tu, almost silently with his eyes. But soon he understood, because the two people sitting next to him were not talking about anything else, but about yesterday's thunder.

β€œ...... There are no discussions. One of the goatees said. His voice was so low that he couldn't hear a few words.

"Isn't Your Majesty still angry...... Who knows what's going on!"

"I heard that it is in Weilong Mountain...... Yesterday overnight ......" The goatee's voice suddenly lowered very low, stopped suddenly, and began to look around secretly. The Taoist chief pretended to look at Xiao Er who was walking towards their table as usual: "Guest officer, your dishes - fried chicken, jumping pills, Hu soup, Hu Pao pork, bean porridge, five-flavor preserved food, Ulva soup plus a pot of crane wine, it's all ready! Hehe wine is for you, please use it slowly." ”

The words of the shopkeeper almost focused everyone's attention on the Taoist chief. You must know that these are the signature dishes of Mingyue Tower, and it is impossible to eat them if it were not for the official eunuchs. I didn't expect this Taoist priest to be so rich, which is simply impressive.

So in order to show that he was rich, the Taoist chief took out a handful of broken silver out of nowhere and put it in the little second-hand: "The rest is your reward." ”

The little two's hands were trembling, and he smiled very excitedly: "Thank you for this Dao Master, thank you for this little brother, you two use it slowly!"

This Taoist priest is so rich, and several honest and honest officials sitting there can't help but sigh in their hearts that the world is declining today, His Majesty ignores the government and politics, and seeks pleasure all day long, and the poetry is prosperous, and he also complains.

The Taoist hated the name of the wine, so he pushed it aside, picked up his chopsticks and ate a few bites of food. He didn't actually feel hungry, but it was rare to eat so many times to feel the fireworks in the world. Shen Tu didn't know how to hold chopsticks, but he just stared at the Taoist's hand for a while, and he learned it in a good way. For a while, it was simply "gobbling up" and "windswept clouds", and the plates were all empty after a while.

"Are you starving?

"No, it's delicious, much better than that medicine. Shendi's mouth was stuffed to the brim, and to outsiders, it seemed as if the Taoist had not fed him for several days. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and at the same time, a chopstick slapped away the hand that Shen Tu stretched out to the crane wine - "You are still young, you can't drink." ”

Shen Tu obediently retracted his hand, and at the same time carefully looked at the remaining dishes on the table: "You, do you still want it?"

The Taoist chief smiled helplessly: "Eat, I'll give it all to you!" But he thought in his heart: "Weilong Mountain...... It's all imperial tombs. Did the Right Prime Minister's Mansion bury the man who was hacked to death over there?"

He thought, poked the god who was still eating, and whispered: "Don't climb over the wall tonight, go to Weilong Mountain to have a look." ”

The goatee didn't just hear something, he looked at the Taoist with gloomy eyes, twisted his beard with his hand, and smiled coldly. He got up and paid for his meal, and hurried away with another official. As everyone knows, when he passed by his own table, he cast a trick on him, and a very small paper figure quietly crawled into his clothes along the collar.

"Hmph," the Taoist chief said in his heart, "this kid is a little tender." ”

【Crane Wine】"Luoyang Jialan Remembering Fayun Temple" contains: "Liu Bai, a native of Hedong, is good at making wine. In the summer of June, when the summer is hot, the wine is stored in the middle of the day, and the wine is not moved, and the fragrance of the drink is beautiful and drunk, and the month is not awake. The Jingshi Dynasty has more counties and feudal domains, and they are fed from afar, thousands of miles. With its distance, it is called 'crane', also known as 'donkey wine'. In the middle of the Yongxi year, the Southern Qingzhou Thorn Shi Mao Hongbin wine fan, every road thief, drunk when stealing drinks, were all captured, because of the name of 'rape wine'. The ranger said: 'Don't be afraid of drawing a bow and drawing a knife, but afraid of white falling spring mash'. ”
