Chapter Twenty-Five: Meeting on a Narrow Road (Acknowledgments to Jiang Shangyun)

Previous Chapter

More than ten miles away from the inspection department, there is a painting boat on the shore of Liangzi Lake with clear water and beautiful scenery.

The painting boat is gorgeous and atmospheric, and it stands out from the crowd with the awning boats of nearby fishermen and the merchant ships that are temporarily moored.

The long night is not over, the lights on the boat are swaying, falling on the lake, sparkling, the water shadow flows, and the painting boat is like being in the fantasy of the fairy town.

The decoration in the painting boat is delicate and gorgeous, and several pots of plum blossoms are blooming brightly, and the fragrance is light and elegant.

Qin Chong stood at the window, looking at the reflection of the buildings and houses in the distance, thinking about the news that Tao Qi had brought back from the Inspection Division.

Behind him, Tao Qi lowered his head and stood silently, and Yan Lao was still wrapped in a black robe like a piece of 10,000-year-old Xuan Ice.

The oil lamp on the table flickered in the wind, punctuating an oppressive silence.

"Uncle Yan, Second Brother Tao just said that the strange monk who broke into the Inspection Division and could throw thousands of catties of stone lions with one hand is really the 'mad wolf' Suojia in the 'Tibetan Twin Wolves'?" Qin Chong broke the silence, "Let people inquire if the Living Buddha has also appeared in Ezhou City." ”

"We have already had news about the killing of the evil wolf Bacuo in Hungry Tiger Gang by the ponies. The monk who broke into the inspection department at night said that he came for this matter, and described his behavior as no different from Suojia. ”

Qin Zhong said: "Uncle Yan, what kind of person is the Living Buddha? Is the 'Daoxia Monk and Beggar's Demon' really as powerful as the legend?"

"That was a long time ago, and the strength of the five uniques is indeed rare in a hundred years. ”

Qin Zhong said with a smile: "Even so, if the Five Absolute Masters are fighting alone, no one will be Uncle Yan's opponent. ”

The wind was cold, the sky was overcast, and the streets and alleys gradually became more and more crowded.

Merchants and vendors set up stoves, steamed buns, porridge and noodles, steaming hot.

Shanyuan touched his stomach and shouted: "The monk is already hungry and thirsty, if there are chasing soldiers coming, he will definitely not be able to get half of the benefits when he hands over, so fill his stomach first and then make plans." ”

With that, he strode towards the vendor.

Pony thought that the five of them had walked this way, and the officers and soldiers and the mysterious people did not appear, which was a little strange, but he was not in a hurry to get out of the city at this time.

The five of them entered the store, found a table and sat down, and ordered the store to come up with a bun of steamed buns.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any wine here? Give the monk five catties and fill this gourd with it." Shanyuan untied the gourd around his waist and put it on the table, and the package and the red flame stick were left in the inspection department, but he had to take this wine gourd with him alive or dead.

Everyone was about to pick up chopsticks, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

"You old monk is so unreasonable, since you are a fate, the owner also rewarded you with two buns, why don't you leave?"

"Amitabha, the Buddha has a wide stomach, if the donor is willing to give these drawers of snacks to the Buddha, the Buddha will leave immediately. ”

"You old monk is deliberately uncomfortable, hurry away, I am open to do business, not to open a good hall. ”

"All beings are equal, how can the old monk favor one over the other, although you don't allow it, the donor in the store may not allow it. ”

"Hey, you old thing is really cheeky, these are the food and clothing parents of the small shop, don't make trouble, get out of here. The shopkeeper said, picking up a stick to drive the old monk away.

"The store is slow. The pony stood up and saluted the old monk, "Although the old Zen master is open to eat, he can afford to pay back that little silver." ”

"Amitabha, the benefactor is benevolent and has immeasurable merits, and after his death, he will surely ascend to the Western Bliss. The old monk folded his hands and smiled.

Murong Yuxin frowned, and said in her heart: "Why does this monk talk like this, it sounds awkward. ”

The old monk opened the steamer, regardless of the steaming hot hand, and no matter the steamed buns and dim sum, he stuffed them all into his mouth, and within a while, a basket full of ten steamed buns was swept away, and the store was stunned.

The old monk unveiled the second cage and wiped it out in the surprised eyes of everyone.

When he reached out to uncover the third cage, the shopkeeper who woke up jumped over and protected it with both hands, shaking his head desperately: "You can't eat it, you can't eat it, if you eat it again, you will die, old monk, you have compassion, don't implicate me as a lonely old man." ”

The old monk touched his belly and said, "The Buddha has only eaten half full, are you afraid that the person will not be able to repay the debt?" Why don't you go in first and let him pay the money for the three cages first, if he is in debt, the Buddha and I will help you get justice." ”

I couldn't help but snatch the steamed buns, eat them, and after a while, I touched my round stomach and said, "Comfortable." ”

The five ponies paid the bill, and there was a gorgeous painting boat moored on the shore of Liangzi Lake, which was moored with the canopy boats of nearby fishermen and merchant ships coming and going from the south to the north, which was quite a bit of a standout feeling.

The long night is not over, and the lights on the boat fall on the lake, sparkling, and the painting boat is like a fantasy.

In the painting boat, the decoration is exquisite and gorgeous, Qin Chong stood at the window, looking at the reflection of the pavilions in the distance, and was speechless for a while.

"Uncle Yan, Tao Qi just said that the strange monk who broke into the inspection department and lifted a thousand catties is really the mad wolf Suojia in the 'Tibetan Twin Wolves'? ”

"We have already had news about the killing of the evil wolf Bacuo in Hungry Tiger Gang by the ponies. The monk who broke into the inspection department at night said that he came for this matter, and described his behavior as no different from Suojia. ”
