Chapter Eighty-Nine: Suffering

Previous Chapter

No one saw when the elephant-swallowing monk came over, because he really walked like a ghost, and he arrived at Wu Hongwen's side in an instant.

The elephant-swallowing monk smiled and said, "Can this old brother also invite the Sprinkler family to drink a few glasses of wine?"

Wu Hongwen looked back and said, "You also have a story to tell me?"

The elephant-swallowing monk shook his head and said, "I don't have a story. ”

He added: "I wouldn't tell you a story, even if I had a story. ”

Wu Hongwen said: "Oh?"

The elephant-swallowing monk continued: "Because I never give benefits to others, only others give me benefits, and if I exchange my story for your wine, I will suffer a loss." ”

The words of the elephant-swallowing monk made Wu Hongwen cry and laugh.

The old man was already leisurely smoking a dry cigarette, for the flask in front of him was long since empty.

Wu Hongwen smiled bitterly: "Then why should I invite you to drink?"

The elephant-swallowing monk said: "Because I always have to take advantage of every place I go, otherwise I will be uncomfortable all day, if I am uncomfortable because I don't take advantage, then I will indeed lose a lot." ”

Wu Hongwen nodded and said: "You do have some truth in saying that, people should be happier when they live in the world." ”

The elephant-swallowing monk laughed and said, "Hahaha, I think you are a cheerful person, and I don't embarrass you." ”

As he spoke, he had untied a wine gourd from his belt.

Wu Hongwen had never seen such a big gourd, and this was the largest one he had ever seen.

The elephant-swallowing monk continued: "I want to fill this gourd, you just need to pay for the wine for me." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "Then don't I also suffer a lot?"

The elephant-swallowing monk said, "You don't want to suffer?"

Wu Hongwen said: "Of course not, who is born with a love of loss?"

The elephant-swallowing monk said: "It's not impossible if you don't want to suffer, but you have to suffer when you meet me." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "It's okay for me to suffer a loss, but it depends on who will take advantage of this advantage, not everyone will suffer if I suffer a loss." ”

The face of the elephant-swallowing monk was already a little ugly, and he said, "Then I want to make you suffer?"

Wu Hongwen sneered: "Whoever in this noodle restaurant can make me suffer, but I don't want to suffer your loss." ”

The elephant-swallowing monk's muscles had begun to tense, as if they were about to tear the monk's robe on his body.

He glared at Wu Hongwen and said, "It seems that you haven't heard the story this old man told you." ”

Wu Hongwen said lightly: "Oh?"

The elephant-swallowing monk continued: "If you don't suffer, I will have to do it, and no one has ever dared to refuse my request." ”

His fists were clenched.

The folding fan in Wu Hongwen's hand shook gently in front of his chest, and the folding fan had covered all the vital points of his upper body in the coming and going of the folding fan.

He said lightly: "If you make a move, I can just see your kung fu and see if this senior's story is true or false." ”

The old man was still smoking, and his person was already hidden in the smoke, like a fairy.

I couldn't see his face clearly, let alone where his other hand was placed.

The elephant-swallowing monk really didn't dare to make a rash move, and the more he couldn't see where the old man's hand was, the more uneasy his heart became.

But he still pretended to be calm, and his momentum did not diminish at all, and said: "No one who has seen my shot is still alive." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "Maybe I can survive?"

He looked up at the elephant-swallowing monk, who was also staring at him.

Except for the drizzling rain outside the door, there was no other sound in the noodle shop.

The smoke on the old man's side became more and more and thicker.

His whole being seemed to be in the clouds.

The elephant-swallowing monk suddenly laughed, his muscles gradually relaxed.

He had given up on the shot.

He wasn't sure.

He never wants to take risks for something he is not sure of, which is also one of the reasons why he never loses.

However, he is also a man of grudges.

Wu Hongwen refused his request, so he would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate, and he was ready to retaliate at any time.

The elephant-swallowing monk wanted to leave, but he didn't pay for the wine.

The bartender actually stopped him and asked him for money.

The elephant-swallowing monk was angry, and he had nowhere to vent.

His fists clenched again, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

He threw this punch, and the bartender would never have lived.

Wu Hongwen wanted to stop it.

But what he never expected was that Hong Chong and the Western Regions Divine Finger, who had not spoken, coincidentally blocked in front of the bartender.

They were as fast as a gust of wind, and Hao was no slower than the punch of the elephant-swallowing monk.

The elephant-swallowing monk said angrily: "Could it be that you are all in the same group in this shop?

The Western Regions Divine Finger said with a smile on his face: "I have heard the name of the Elephant Swallowing Monk for a long time, I am fortunate to meet you today, and I am going to pay for the wine for you." ”

He pointed to the wine gourd on the waist of the elephant-swallowing monk with his huge index finger and said, "This gourd is also full for this master." ”

After saying that, he put a silver ingot on the counter.

The bartender accepted the money, but there was still no expression on his face, and he didn't thank the gods of the Western Regions, as if everything that happened was as it should be, and it seemed that it was exactly what he expected.

The more Wu Hongwen looked at it, the more strange he felt, but he couldn't think of what the fault was.

The elephant-swallowing monk was very satisfied, and a smile regained on his face and said, "Fortunately, the name of the Western Regions God is also like thunder." ”

The two of them burst out laughing, as if they were the only ones left in the noodle shop.

The elephant-swallowing monk seemed to suddenly remember Hong Chong beside him, he turned around and folded his palms together and said, "Does this master also want to pay for the wine for me?"

Hong Chong said: "Yes. ”

The elephant-swallowing monk laughed and said, "It's still our Buddhist disciples who are so good, they are much better than those laymen." ”

Hong Chong said: "I just don't want to see you kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

The smile on the face of the elephant-swallowing monk suddenly condensed, and he said, "My wine money is not something that anyone can pay for me if they want to. ”

Hong Chong didn't speak again, he had already turned around and walked out the door.

Let the rain hit his straight back.

The jug was already filled, and the elephant-swallowing monk put it on his nose and sniffed it, and he seemed satisfied.

He won't affect the mood of the day for some small things, that is the real loss.

Only Wu Hongwen and the old man were left in the noodle shop.

The smoke in front of the old man had faded and faded, and gradually his bronzed face and bronzed arms could be seen clearly.

Wu Hongwen said: "Thank you seniors for helping." ”

The old man smiled, "When did I help you?"

Wu Hongwen also smiled: "The predecessors were suspicious, and they actually bluffed the elephant-swallowing monk into not daring to make a move." ”

The old man said, "I can't drink your wine for nothing." ”

He pondered for a moment and then said, "It's just that I'm completely superfluous. ”

Wu Hongwen said: "How do you say this?"

The old man said slowly: "I underestimated your skill, I didn't expect you to use a fan as a stick, in fact, you have already protected the vital points of your body, wouldn't I do it too much?"

Wu Hongwen said: "Seniors have already known martial arts?"

The old man slowly blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Dog beating stick method!"

Wu Hongwen was stunned, he was about to speak but was interrupted by the old man: "Is the chess king Deng Youbang good?"

Wu Hongwen didn't expect the ragged old man in front of him to be able to call out his master's name, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know the master below?"

The old man smiled: "Of course I do." ”

He continued: "It's just that he can retire to the rivers and lakes to enjoy his old age, but I have taken on another bad errand, and I still have to take this errand, hateful, hateful!"

Wu Hongwen said: "What dare you bother the seniors to go out of the mountain, the younger generations are willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

A trace of joy flashed in the old man's eyes, but he suddenly sighed and said, "I also want to leave it to you, but it is better to be entrusted by others or to be loyal." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "Can the seniors tell me what is going on?"

The old man said, "Of course it doesn't hurt to tell you, besides, this matter has something to do with what you think is a friend." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "My friend?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, it's your friend, you're all the way." ”

Wu Hongwen leaned forward and said, "Who?"

The old man said slowly: "Zhou Jinyu, you should always be familiar with it." ”
