Chapter 5 Cripple Gong and Master Kuang Zheng
Sai Zhuge and Zeng Yiqi and others arrived in Changlai Town in the evening.
Cripple Gong is easy to find, and the only blacksmith shop in Changlai Town is opened by Cripple Gong. When they found it, the crippled Gong was about to go out. When he saw Yuan Shifo's knife, he was very polite. Beckoning everyone to stay, greeting again, and giving them food.
Cripple Gong is Yuan Shifo's senior brother, and he is a bullied person in Jiulian Mountain. The two went out of the mountain gate at the same time. The two didn't talk on the mountain, but they got along very well after coming out of the mountain. After returning home, the cripple Gong opened this blacksmith shop to make a living, but fortunately, Yuan Shifo always came to see him several times a month, which also moved him very much.
The cripple Gong family has two houses, one for himself and one for Yuan Shifo. Sai Zhuge and they also have a place to live when they come.
"Master Gong, where are you going?" Sanqi greeted him.
"I'm bored alone, go out and have fun, hehe!" the cripple Gong Gan laughed twice, "You can rest assured that you can stay here tonight." I'll greet you again tomorrow morning. ”
"Wait a minute," Sai Zhuge stopped him, "Zeng Si, don't you have a question for him?"
"Yes," Zeng Yiqi immediately remembered, "Master Gong, have you ever seen an elephant?"
"I've seen it, what's wrong?"
"Hahahaha!" Sai Zhuge laughed, and the group laughed too.
Zeng Yiqi was not convinced, "Could it be that there are elephants in this Lingnan mountain?"
"How is it possible, there are no elephants in this mountain. ”
"You have bad legs, I guess you haven't been out of this mountain, right?"
"I haven't gone out, and I'm running around in Shaozhou. ”
"Then where did you see the elephant? Don't tell me you saw it in the scroll?"
That day, the king of Dayue came to visit Master Kuang Zheng at the Lingshu Temple in Shaozhou, and his car was pulled by an elephant. The people in our town went to see it that time, and that guy was so big. I'm afraid that my shop is so big......" The cripple Gong saw that they were interested, and compared the elephant for a long time.
The group listened carefully, and Zeng Yiqi was depressed.
"Master Gong, you can go play. We'll go to Lingshu Temple tomorrow, and I'll trouble you to lead the way when the time comes," Sai Zhuge smiled, "Zeng Si?"
"Here!"
"Miss Ben is tired tonight, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, tomorrow morning, wash my face, and come to Miss Ben to ask for words. Remember, wash it clean, hahahaha, after all, you don't wash your face for two days, don't you?"
The next day, the group rushed to Lingshu Mountain.
Although the cripple Gong walked with a limp, he walked fast, and he was a person who had practiced his skills.
"Fourth Brother Zeng, why did you paint your face like black charcoal?" the cripple Gong asked Zeng Yiqi.
"I have acne on my face, it's not good-looking, so I just paste it like this. Zeng Yiqi replied softly, but unfortunately Sanqi heard it.
"Some people are just reckless, and they have to hide if they lose, Miss, why don't you write the word stupid?"
"Miss Ben is in a good mood today, and she is too lazy to write!" said Sai Zhuge .
"What did you write to me last time?" Zeng Yiqi remembered and asked Sai Zhuge again. There are a lot of things these days, I forgot it, I washed the water a few times, and the words were gone.
"Why don't I write it to you again?"
"Forget it!" Zeng Yiqi wanted to ask Sanqi or Su Wu next time.
"It's a pity!" lamented the cripple Gong.
"What's wrong?"
"Fourth Brother Zeng, it's a pity for me, since your face is painted black, why don't you paint all the exposed places on your neck and hands black?"
"Why should I paint my neck black?"
In Daxing Mansion, I heard that there are many Kunlun slaves, and they are all black. Walking with a Kunlun slave can also show the prestige of the master, and only the rich and noble families can afford to buy a Kunlun slave. ”
"Nonsense, I'm not a slave!" Zeng Yiqi immediately retorted.
"I've also heard that there are blacks in Lingnan, but I haven't seen them before, will I see them this time?" Sanqi said.
"Do you still want to go to Daxing Mansion? You have to pay attention to that Sanqi girl, don't be arrested!"
"You know, do you want to be a palace maid?"
"Not necessarily, it may be sold overseas!"
"Overseas?"
"Yes, there is the sea outside Daxing Mansion, and there are also people living overseas, such as Kunlunnu's hometown. The traffickers will not only bring back the Kunlun slaves from outside, but also the girls here overseas!"
"Ah, this ......" Zeng Yiqi looked at Sai Zhuge on the sedan chair, and Sai Zhuge also sat up and listened.
"What's wrong? Didn't it scare you?" the crippled Gong saw that they didn't say anything for a while, "You don't have to worry too much, after all, the robbers who traffick people to overseas are a minority. They are all fancy dresses, and they are easy to see. And I think the martial arts of that Ouyang brother in you are also very powerful. Brother Ouyang, why did you want to strike iron today?"
"His family used to strike iron, and it is estimated that his hands itched when he saw the iron stove!"
"But it's okay, in Shaozhou, there is Master Kuang Zheng, there is no big mess here!"
"Who is Master Kuang Zheng?"
"Didn't the eldest lady say that she was looking for Master Kuang Zheng? Why don't you even know who he is?"
Sanqi and Zeng Yiqi shook their heads, how did they know such a figure?
"Master Kuang Zheng is a holy monk with profound Buddhism and the head of the Lingnan Taoist Buddhist Sect. He devoted himself to worshipping the Buddha, and the King of Dayue always wanted to invite him to Daxing Mansion to serve as a national teacher, but was repeatedly rejected by Master Kuangzheng. Master Kuang Zheng is not only highly respected, but also his disciples are all high-ranking monks, and it is said that every temple in Lingnan Road has his disciples. ”
"Such a bullish character, will we not see it when we go?" Zeng Yiqi shook off casually.
"This Zeng Fourth Brother can rest assured! Master Kuang Zheng Lixian, Corporal Lixian, all those who want to see him, he will arrange a time to meet him. Even if it doesn't work out today, he will arrange for you to stay in the temple and meet you tomorrow morning. ”
"That's a good guy!"
"Zeng Si, can you speak? Master Gong said, Master Kuang Zheng is a holy monk, why do you still use the word "good man" to describe the holy monk?" Sanqi criticized Zeng Yiqi.
"Aren't good people and holy monks all good?"
"That's different, the holy monk is a little more advanced, miss, isn't it?"
Sanqi would not refute Zeng Yiqi, she directly brought out Sai Zhuge to deal with Zeng Yiqi.
"If he is a Buddhist, he must prefer the holy monk!"
"Whether you're a good person or not, not necessarily!" Zeng Yiqi muttered quietly.
At noon, the group rushed to the Lingshu Temple of Lingshu Mountain.
Sure enough, the people who visited Master Kuang Zheng were all queuing, and Sai Zhuge and the others had to wait until tomorrow morning.
