Volume 2 Eastward Journey Chapter 2 Mountain Wine Monk

"Knock! knock!"

The sound of percussion grew closer, louder, and heavier.

Also heavy was the old blind man's look and Xu Sheng's snort.

In such a dim night, in such an empty and lonely mountain forest, such an abrupt voice suddenly sounded, and no one would take it calmly and dare not take it lightly.

The string was pinched in the hand of the old blind man, trembling slightly, and the thin one seemed to contain a thousand powers.

The voice rang for a while, and suddenly began to get smaller, and when it disappeared completely, Xu Sheng's eyes widened suddenly.

In the distance, directly in front of you, a gray-white dot is floating up and down, erratic.

The old blind man put up the strings of the piano, and was ready to attack. Xu Sheng held his breath and looked at the old blind man intently, he saw that there seemed to be a mass of qi around the old blind man, condensed into a momentum! That seemingly subtle string was clearly hard to the extreme at this moment, and it was sharper than a sword!

"Who's coming?" the old blind man asked in a deep voice, hunting in the wind, his clothes fluttering, and he was not angry.

"This is my abode, and when you get here, won't you allow me to come out to meet you?" a deep and neutral voice sounded, and although the wind came from afar, it was still unusually clear.

"How can there be such a welcome gift?" the old blind man stepped forward and shouted: "Even the 'Fu Demon Curse' has been knocked out, could it be that the old man is regarded as an evil person?"

"Hah, ha, ha, ha, don't care, it's just a temptation, don't you listen to me?"

"Are you satisfied with the temptation?" the old blind man stepped back slightly, turned around, and thought for a moment before he dissipated his strength, his expression slowed down, and he put away the strings.

"Extremely satisfied, how dare you not be satisfied? The cultivation of the predecessors is still above the poor monks, this time it is me Meng Lang, and I hope that the seniors will forgive me. After a few words, the gray-white dot had already come closer, Xu Sheng looked at it fixedly, ah!

is really a monk, wearing a gray-white monk's robe, too fat, to say the least, he has to be about 300 pounds, not tall, even lower than ordinary people, round. From a distance, isn't it just a dot?

The old blind man slowly retreated to the fire, ignored it, and sat down cross-legged. It's just that the string is still pinched in his hand, and obviously he is still on guard.

Xu Sheng stood closely beside the old blind man, looking directly at the fat monk in front of him, and looked carefully.

Although this monk is kind and kind-looking, he is not a charmer, but since he suddenly appeared in such a place in the middle of the night, and made the old blind man treat him solemnly, then he is absolutely uncommon and must not be taken lightly.

But fortunately, judging from the current situation, it seems that the monk is not enough to threaten the old blind man.

The monk has a fat head and big ears, and his face is full of oil, if it weren't for a robe on his body and a few ring scars on the top of his head, people would really mistake him for a market butcher. He was kind, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his face was grinning, and he couldn't see the slightest evil intention. But Xu Sheng knows that everything can't just look at the surface.

"Sit" The old blind man did not get up, nor did he signal, but simply said without raising his head.

"It's clear that I'm the master of this place, but you're not welcome, but you make me look like a guest. The fat monk said with a smile, but sat down boldly, facing the old blind man.

"This mountain forest has existed since ancient times, why do you take you as the main and us as guests?" the old blind man said lightly, and there was no joy or sorrow in the old voice.

"Ha, ha, ha!, the poor monk has lived here for many years, and every grass, tree, flower, and stone here is all related to me; the trees in the mountains and the beasts in the forest have listened to me chanting for many years, and have been favored by me and taken care of by me, so naturally I should be the lord of this place. The fat monk said softly, full of confidence, and seemed to be justified.

"What nonsense!" said the old blind man, "you live in this mountain forest, occupy the land in the mountains, burn the wood in the mountains, and eat the products of the mountains and forests; you only say that the mountains and forests benefit from you, how can you not say that you are supported by the mountains and forests? In fact, you are the beneficiary." Besides, your chanting in the mountains is completely wishful thinking, and those birds and beasts don't like your noise, and maybe they think you're farting. ”

"This ......" The monk was speechless, stunned for a while, pondered for a while, and then said: "You are not this mountain forest, how can you know the thoughts of the mountains and forests?"

"You are not me, how do you know that I don't know?" said the old blind man with a blank face, calmly.

"In the same way, how do you know that I don't know that you don't?"

"If you push it like this, then there is no end, and there is no need to talk about it again. ”

"Reasonable" The fat monk tilted his head and thought about it, patted his thigh, took out a gourd from his arms, opened it, and poured two sips of "Bang Bang".

Wine!

Xu Sheng was just in front of the fat monk, but he was far away, and the breeze swept the hot air with the aroma of wine, rushing straight into his mouth and nose. Xu Sheng took advantage of the firelight to take a closer look at the fat monk again. On the gray-white monk's robe, there were a few obvious yellow-brown spots.

Grease!

Originally, the monk was a little farther away from Xu Sheng, and he could only take a general look. Now that the two are close, and with the firelight, Xu Sheng has a relatively clear perception of them.

No wonder the body is so rich and oily, it was originally a wine and meat monk!

Xu Sheng thought in his heart, from this monk, he really felt the breath of fireworks, the breath of wine and meat.

"The poor monk has lived here for many years, and today I have the fate to meet the two, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. However, the small temple in the mountain is thin, and there is only a pot of turbid wine, which is willing to be shared with the two. The fat monk took two more sips, and then stuffed the wine jug to Xu Sheng.

"I don't drink alcohol. Xu Sheng excused himself and handed the wine jug to the fat monk again. It's not true that he doesn't drink. The Jokhang wine was very popular, and Hugh said that adult men were between children and women, and there was no shortage of heavy drinkers. It's just that he saw that the monk's gourd was dilapidated, combined with his fat head and big ears and his ugly appearance when drinking, he naturally resisted in his heart.

"If you don't drink it, will you come to the old man?" The fat monk didn't care, and with a push of his hand, he stuffed the wine gourd to the old blind man.

"I don't drink alcohol either. The old blind man excused himself, let the wine gourd in his arms, and did not move.

"The two of you are really boring, and the little brother is seriously injured, so don't drink it. You old thing, you don't live long anyway, what's the big deal with drinking more?"

"This ......" Xu Sheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect that the fat monk, who had always been polite, suddenly came up with such a sentence. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, and secretly looked at the old blind man, really afraid that one of him would be angry and blood stained the spot.

"Reasonable"

Unexpectedly, the old blind man was not angry but happy, smiled, raised the gourd, and drank it all.

"Good wine!" the old blind man was still unsatisfied.

"Massive!" the fat monk clapped his hands and praised.

"You ought to taste it, good wine, good for your wounds. The old blind man said to Xu Sheng, and there was a clear aftertaste on his face.

"What's the matter, no matter how good the wine is, it's nothing more than grain, guarding such a big mountain, can the poor monk still have less food? If the two don't mind, and follow the poor monk out of him, there will naturally be thousands of good wines. The fat monk looked sideways at Xu Sheng, laughed softly, and made an invitation.

"This ......" Xu Sheng hesitated, the fat monk had a mysterious origin and peculiar behavior, and it was really not a wise move to rush with him.

"Okay, old man, and go with you. But the old blind man stood up, shook his robe, and did not hesitate. He didn't wait for the monk to lead the way, and took a few steps lightly.

"Seniors go slowly. The fat monk hurriedly followed, stood beside the old blind man, leaned forward slightly, and made a gesture of guidance.

Xu Sheng had no choice but to follow, he deliberately distanced himself, and his eyes did not take his eyes off the fat monk's back for a moment.

"Squeak!"

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and after several twists and turns, the three finally arrived at the temple where the monk lived. Pushing open the dilapidated door of the temple, the three mermaids rushed in.

"......!?" Xu Sheng was shocked again. As soon as he entered the temple, when he looked up, he unexpectedly saw the statue of "Zhenwu Emperor".

Is this a monk's temple?

Xu Shenghu was suspicious. I'm afraid this was a Taoist nest before!

"Don't mind, Buddhism and Taoism, you see that I am now wearing a monk's robe, dressed as a monk, if I don't take care of it for a long time, wait for my long hair to my waist, and change into a set of gossip green clothes, I'm afraid that you will think I'm a Taoist priest again." The fat monk glanced at Xu Sheng and said with a smile.

"Then are you a monk or a Taoist priest?" Xu Sheng was really curious.

"Naturally, it's a monk. The fat monk shook his hand, shook out a wooden fish from his long sleeves, knocked it twice, and said with a smile: "A Taoist priest wouldn't knock such a thing." ”

"The monk lives in the Taoist Temple?!" Xu Sheng muttered, then looked up at the clay sculpture of the "Zhenwu Emperor", and said, "At the very least, this statue should be replaced, right?" ”

"Look at you, the 'Emperor Zhenwu' doesn't care, so why should you mind?" The fat monk carried a large wine jar and staggered over.

When he arrived, he put down the jar, and when he lifted the lid, the whole hall was filled with the smell of wine.

"How can it be so fragrant?" Xu Sheng was puzzled, and was fascinated for a while.

"Good wine naturally smells. The fat monk took a big scoop, filled it to its fullness, and drank it all.
