Chapter 190: A calm old monk in the Qin Mountains
In the southern strait, forty-five merchant ships waited for news with trepidation.
The smoke from the sea in the distance was incessant, and occasionally the charred planks drifted by, and a few pirates who were not dead lying on their stomachs would be shackled to death by the merchant ship guards.
With a long horn sound, the three warships returned with a haughty attitude, and the sides of the ships were full of pirates who were not yet dead, setting off the slightly damaged warships even more brilliantly.
The maritime merchants were smiling and ready to celebrate. The pirates of the entire South China Sea have been confessed under the iron hooves of Yun Dashuai, and now they are just waiting to make a fortune, how can they not be happy.
The soldiers on the other two warships were all elated, enjoying the glory of exterminating the pirates, and only the Yun family's princess was furious.
Let one person slap the whole ship's face swollen, and this anger can only be sent to the pirate.
While they gritted their teeth and discussed how to punish these pirates, Bing Sanzhang was already on his way to Chang'an.
I didn't see Yun Ye himself in this contact, and although Bing Sanzhang was slightly dissatisfied, he could understand it.
After all, it's on the battlefield, the soldiers are a little more sensitive, and it's not too much for the coach to be cautious. Isn't there a saying that the son of a daughter can't sit down, and it is absolutely accurate to use it on the traverser.
The news that the white snake overheard made Bing Sanzhang have many doubts.
Jade Plaque Godman?
Although I don't know what these inherent nouns represent, judging from Yun Ye's tone, the jade card is obviously a kind of treasure, and there are many gods and people who want to fight for it. And that Han Che was originally one of them, but he was later subdued by Yun Ye and turned enemies into friends.
This Bing Sanzhang believes that turning enemies into friends is already a necessary skill for traversers.
Yun Ye is very informative, and he seems to have a good relationship with the emperor. That was Li Shimin! He rebelled, cut off his brother and killed his brother, and imprisoned his father. He didn't relent.
Just because Yun Ye could mix with Li Shimin like an uncle and nephew, Bing Sanzhang knew that he had interfered with the historical process of this plane.
Therefore, not only for the jade brand, but also to see this different Datang, Bing Sanzhang felt that he should go to Chang'an.
Yun Ye said again, with Yun Hou's hat on his head, it was not too easy to find him.
After a general discernment of direction, the albatross headed straight northwest.
Bing Sanzhang knew that Chang'an was renamed Xi'an in later generations, and it was located in the northwest. However, after flying non-stop in the albatross for a day and a night, he finally admitted that this was indeed not a distance that could be reached in a short time.
Besides, a person and a bird also need to pay homage to the Five Organs Temple.
Albatross is a bird that is particularly fond of flying long distances. They often fly 150,000 kilometers in 10 months and return to the zone of 30 or 40 degrees south latitude to find a mate and give birth to offspring.
This albatross was strengthened by the Ice Sanzhang Super Cell, and its ability was obviously even stronger.
Twenty-four hours later, it has entered the hinterland of China.
In this era, ground development was quite limited, there were deep mountains and old forests everywhere, and Bing Sanzhang didn't know exactly where he was now, but he definitely crossed the Yangtze River. Even at high altitude, the two mother rivers are clearly visible.
The landing site was selected in a valley, with light weeds and streams, so there should be a lot of small animals.
However, after landing, the animals didn't look at anything, but Bing Sanzhang found a monk.
He was sitting cross-legged by the stream and chanting silently, the gray monk's robe was similar to the color of the stone by the stream, if it weren't for the faint reflection of the bald head, Bing Sanzhang might have ignored the past.
Looking at the bald head not far away with surprised eyes, the monk also saw Bing Sanzhang, he didn't seem surprised at all by the person who suddenly appeared, his eyes glanced at the albatross lightly, and gently closed his salute.
Bing Sanzhang is happy, such a calm monk has never seen it.
In the previous plane, Bing Sanzhang came into contact with two monks, one Baiyun Zen Master and one Fahai, both of whom were strong in mana and firm in their hearts. Their temperament of shattering their bodies and bones to subdue demons and eliminate demons makes Bing Sanzhang have a good impression of Buddhism.
Although he was also counted in the demon group, he did not hesitate to destroy the calculations of the two monks, but it did not affect this.
The unfamiliar world, the confusing historical route, and the traveler of the marquis of the imperial court all made Bing Sanzhang at a loss, and when he suddenly saw the bald head, a trace of intimacy inexplicably rose in his heart.
Bing Sanzhang took two steps forward, smiled and said, "Master, dare to ask what kind of place this is?"
Faced with this kind of question, the monk did not show a strange expression, but just looked at Bing Sanzhang's face carefully, and said lightly: "The donor is invited, this is the depths of the Qinling Mountains." ”
"I don't know how far this place is from Chang'an?"
"The poor monk doesn't know, but it took the poor monk a full twenty days to walk here from Chang'an!"
Bing Sanzhang looked at the monk's figure, silently calculated it, and counted it in his heart.
It seems that there is still a thousand miles smaller! This monk can really walk!
"Did the master go to Qinling to collect medicine?"
The monk shook his head: "The poor monk is going to Yuezhou, where the new city has just been built, and it is a good time for flowers to bloom, with many merchants and rich people." The poor monk wants to go there to make a fortune and build a small temple! Donor, when you meet, you are fated, and please give alms. ”
"Well said!"
Bing Sanzhang agreed boldly, but suddenly froze when he touched his waist.
The mirror space is missing, and the store can't be opened, how can he have silver on him.
Looking down at himself, he was originally dressed in a luxurious son's clothes, soaked in the sea and flying in the sky, but he couldn't look at it at this time, it was like wearing an old lady's footcloth.
It's really a shame that the monk talked to himself calmly.
Seeing Bing Sanzhang stunned there, the monk saluted and said, "Good, good!" and closed his eyes again and recited the scriptures.
It's embarrassing to be on the ice now, and I don't know what to say.
After thinking about it for a long time, I simply didn't think there was such a thing, Fang Zhenglun was cheeky, and Bing Sanzhang had also practiced. Pulling out the bone knife from his waist, he prepared to get some prey to fill his stomach.
Letting go of the manipulation of the albatross, the big bird jumped directly into the stream, smothered his head under the water, and raised his head from time to time to scream, as if to relieve fatigue.
Hunting is very simple, Bing Sanzhang just empty his mind, close his eyes and listen to the sounds around him.
"Rustling ......"
The ground centipede burrowed out of the sand and changed to a more humid place.
"Gurgling ......"
The sound of the stream flowing was a bit too loud, and there should have been a big rock there.
"Brush ......"
The grass swayed in the wind, undulating like a wave.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The old monk's heartbeat, and the silent recitation......
Suddenly, Bing Sanzhang threw out the bone knife with his hand, and the blood flashed, and a fat rabbit fell in the grass.
Pick up the rabbit and walk to the bottom of the stream, pull out the bone knife at his waist and sprinkle the blood into the stream, cut open the belly and throw the water to the albatross, and he bowed his head and began to clean up the rabbit meat.
From time to time, the bone knife in his hand was inserted into the stream and picked up, and there would always be a big fish flying sideways to the shore. By the time the rabbits were cleaned up, there were already a dozen fish fluttering on the shore.
When he was cleaning up the fish, Bing Sanzhang raised his head and shouted, "Master, do you want to be together?"
I didn't expect the monk to agree, but I would only save a little face for the embarrassment just now, but I didn't expect the monk to stand up very simply, walk directly to a bush not far away, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, the poor monk will go and collect some firewood!"
Bing Sanzhang was stunned for a moment and laughed.
"You monk, you are really not ordinary! You eat meat without the slightest hypocrisy, and you take the initiative to collect firewood. ”
There were a lot of dead trees in the bushes, and the old monk pulled on the ground for a while, then brought back a large handful of fine branches, and said, "The monk forbids meat, but he can't help eating meat." Mountain hares, wild fish, or only living beings, can naturally be hungry when they die, donors can be, and poor monks can naturally too!"
Bing Sanzhang gave a thumbs up and said, "Honestly, Master, if I invite you to eat roast rabbit, can I give alms?"
"No!" The old monk shook his head and said, "Dry firewood is worth food, and the alms that the donor should owe still have to be given!" After speaking, he didn't give Bing Sanzhang a chance to reply, turned around and went to look for firewood again.
Bing Sanzhang couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this monk was very interesting.
The twigs were dry and flammable, the bone knife had slashed several times on the stone, and the jumping sparks ignited the firewood. A simple ring of fire was placed with stones, and the processed fish and rabbits were rubbed diagonally on the periphery and slowly smoked.
Smoke rises and blends into the clouds in the sky.
I don't know when a large cloud came from the sky, and the whole valley was a little darker.
Roasting with fire is much slower than directly using electricity, I don't know how many times the rabbit turned, Bing Sanzhang tore the rabbit open, threw half of it to the old monk, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to taste, the master is more responsible!"
The old monk saluted eleven times, grabbed it and took a bite.
Bing Sanzhang smiled and began to eat as well.
The barbecue was not less, and it was the first time that it was so tasteless, but even so, he still ate sweetly. For Bing Sanzhang, the process of replenishing energy is all joyful.
The old monk was very fast, and he didn't touch the grilled fish after half a rabbit entered his belly, and looked at Bing Sanzhang and said: "Donor, about ten miles from here in the direction of Chang'an, there is a big bear that is raging, often injuring passing merchants. ”
"Huh?" Bing Sanzhang didn't quite understand what he meant.
"The donor is very skilled, has a good heart, and the poor monk has a request!"
"Say!"
The old monk said seriously: "Can you ask the donor to change the alms to the poor monks to the alms to the past merchants?"
Bing Sanzhang blinked and said, "You want me to get rid of that bear?"
"Amitabha, please also ask the donor to fulfill it!"
Bing Sanzhang smiled, swept away the food by dividing it by two, stood up and said: "You monk can do business, after a few words, a few taels of silver will become a life-saving game, but it is not a loss!"
"The donor is not at a loss!" the old monk said seriously: "Raising your hand to give silver is a gesture to the donor, and getting rid of the bear is also a gesture, what is the difference between the two!"
"Good mouth! I mean you can't!, I promise you!" Bing Sanzhang shook his head and turned to leave, raised his hand to greet the albatross, and the big bird Zaba Zaba followed, with a big fish in his mouth, swallowing one by one.
The old monk stood up and saluted: "Plant good causes and get good results, Amitabha!"
Following the direction pointed by the old monk all the way out of the valley, Bing Sanzhang saw a bear blocking the road.
But this bear is also a little too small, the person is not up to the waist of Bing Sanzhang, the whole body is still gray and fluffy, the nose and eyes are round, and there are only a few teeth in a mouth.
At first glance, I knew that it had not been long since I was born.
Bing Sanzhang was speechless, pointed to the little bear who was roaring at his milky voice, turned his head to the albatross and said, "This is the big bear in the old monk's mouth?"
The albatross shook his stomach and took two steps back.
"Huh?"
Just as he was feeling strange, a roar came from a distance, and with a sound like a hammer crashing on the ground, a black bear rushed towards it with its mouth wide open.
"Hey, it's not small!"
With a light tap on his toes, the whole person slid backwards for more than ten meters, and the albatross was even more straightforward and flew directly into the sky.
The black bear ran behind the bear and stood up, roared at Bing Sanzhang, grabbed the bear by the collar and turned his head to go back.
This is not good, I am here for you!
With a flick of his left hand, a small bone blade pierced the back of the bear's neck. The black bear was in pain, threw down the cub, and rushed up with a roar.
Bing Sanzhang smiled, and the electric light flashed under his feet, circling around the black bear.
The reason why he promised the old monk to get rid of the black bear actually has nothing to do with kindness, as long as it is because he can't take out the money, so that Bing Sanzhang suddenly realizes that he is now penniless, and he enters Chang'an City like this, and it is estimated that he will not even have a meal.
What if you don't have any money? For an old bandit, do you still need to think about it? Just grab it! Robbery requires force, and a bear is obviously more creative than a human.
Therefore, Bing Sanzhang took a fancy to this big bear.
The black bear stood up to a height of three meters, fat and strong, and slapped it into the air, but split a thigh-thick tree into two sections.
The huge canopy of the tree smashed into the ground with a thud, and the black bear became more and more agitated.
"Nice!
Bing Sanzhang paced beside the black bear casually, and with each step, the black bear's paws just wiped his ears and hit the air, only to hear the whirring wind.
Bing Sanzhang was very satisfied with this black bear, whether in terms of strength or speed, it was obviously at the peak of his combat power. In addition, it is just the beginning of spring, and nine times out of ten it is awakened from hibernation, and it is even more rare for the body to be in a relatively low ebb state and still have such combat power.
"Such a good material, after the transformation of my super cell, I don't know what kind of surprise there will be. ”
The corners of Bing Sanzhang's mouth hooked a trace of arc, and the bone knife in his hand brushed twice, cutting a big X-shaped wound on the black bear's chest, blood gushing out, and the pain made the black bear howl wildly.
Bing Sanzhang took the opportunity to stab four times in a row, stabbing into the joints of his hands and feet, and the black bear fell to the ground suddenly, unable to get up.
Jumping lightly on the black bear's belly, he smiled and broke off his left arm, stabbing it directly into the wound in the chest.
The arm melted quickly, and the liquid quickly burrowed into the black bear's body as if it were conscious, and the black bear roared loudly and violently.
The wound on the chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the unknown transformation was carried out violently under the epidermis.
Bing Sanzhang shook his body, his new left arm slowly grew out like mushrooms after a rain, he clenched his fist lightly, and looked at the black bear struggling violently at his feet, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.) )
