Chapter 259 The Holy Monk of the Tang Dynasty
"Wan Jin?!" Luo Zhuo's face remained unchanged, but Shangguan Jin was speechless. Although gold and silver are not as valuable as they are in the eyes of the world, ten thousand gold is not a small amount.
"Don't be surprised, the price is very fair. Chen Mu said with a smile, "I can promise that as long as the guest officer can buy a more detailed map than my Wanbao Pavilion at the same price, our Pavilion will return the original price and will not charge anything." ”
"I can trust the credibility of Wanbao Pavilion. Luo Zhuo said indifferently, you get what you pay for, and everywhere you go is the unchanging truth, which is why Luo Zhuo came to Wanbao Pavilion, Wanbao Pavilion is so famous, the price of things must be expensive, but for their own reputation, the things they sell must also have a certain guarantee.
"A map of Qingzhou, it's not enough, I need a larger range. Luo Zhuo continued.
Chen Mu's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "There are naturally maps in a larger range, but please forgive Chen for talking about business, maps are more special, in order to prevent some cultivators from having special means to copy maps, all buyers must pay for the goods before they can see the real thing." ”
Chen Mu is the steward of Wanbao Pavilion, he has seen a lot of people, and he has seen a lot of people with swollen faces and fat people, Luo Zhuo's face has changed when he heard the price of ten thousand gold, and Chen Mu is not sure whether this is a big customer or a troublemaker, and he brought out the rules of Wanbao Pavilion.
He was also telling the truth, after all, cultivators have different magical powers, and it is not without people who can memorize the entire map in their minds with just one glance.
"Are these enough?" Luo Zhuo waved his hand, and a golden light flashed, and stacks of neat gold bars appeared on the floor of this elegant room. Luo Zhuo had considered the issue of the currency of the fairy world before leaving the earth, and at that time he was not sure what the currency in circulation of the fairy world was, and thought it was an immortal stone.
Immortal stones can't be found on earth. But just in case, he brought a batch of gold, not much, about 100,000 taels, but he didn't expect it to really come in handy.
Ten thousand taels of gold didn't stop Chen Mu, just kidding. The chief steward of Wanbao Pavilion handles more than hundreds of thousands of taels of business every day, what kind of high-roller has not been seen, but Luo Zhuo took out so much gold casually, and the little doubt in Chen Mu's heart was put away.
"Later, Chen will go to get the map. Chen Mu said with a smile, although Wanjin's business is not particularly large, it is also a large achievement.
"Steward Chen, don't be in a hurry. It's not too late to finish the business first. Luo Zhuo waved his hand and said.
"What else does the guest officer command?" Chen Mu just left the butt of the chair and sat back down, and said with a straight face.
Shangguan Jin looked envious, when would he be able to learn such a calm and calm temperament as a senior brother, he could see clearly just now that this Wanbao Pavilion was not an ordinary place, so he said that this steward, his cultivation was much higher than his own. Even the maids he saw in the hall outside. Cultivation is not weaker than his. There are not a few high-level monks in Qingzhou on this street, and Wanbao Pavilion has such strength, you can imagine what kind of behemoth the entire Wanbao Pavilion is.
With such a force, the senior brother is so calm when facing the steward, which is really powerful.
"I just said that. I'll buy a copy of all the maps you have. Luo Zhuo said.
"Alas, guest officer, please forgive me for saying bluntly, this request of the guest officer is a bit big. Chen Mu sighed. said, he originally deliberately didn't mention this stubble, but he didn't expect Luo Zhuo to let it go, "All the maps of my Wanbao Pavilion add up, and they are definitely not something that can be bought by an individual, let alone one person, even if it is a ten-year tax in Qingzhou, it is not enough." ”
Seeing that Luo Zhuo and Shangguan Jin both looked incredulous, Chen Mu continued: "Our pavilion not only has a detailed map of the three hundred and twenty-one states of the Tang Dynasty, but also a map of each country in the entire Nanzhan Continent.
"Tang Holy Monk?" Luo Zhuo frowned, "Tang Xuanzang?"
Luo Zhuo doesn't have a good impression of Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West, he thinks he is compassionate, but in fact, what he does is unpleasant everywhere, if it weren't for a few apprentices, he would have to hang up after three episodes in the TV series.
"Shhhhhhh ”
"What's the matter, can't even say the name?" Luo Zhuo said, he was curious in his heart, this steward's cultivation is not low, and he has reached the Mahayana period, even if Tang Seng becomes a Buddha after learning the scriptures, it will not make people so scared that they don't even dare to call their names, not to mention that the group of monks don't say anything else, and they still do a good job in hypocrisy.
"I'm afraid the two guest officers aren't Tang people, right?" Chen Mu was silent for a moment, and then said, "If it were Tang people, I'm afraid they wouldn't talk like this." ”
"Our senior brothers have been practicing in the mountains since childhood, and we don't know anything outside, so we have to ask the steward. Luo Zhuo arched his hand and said.
"Well, I'll tell you about it. Chen Mu thought for a while, and for the sake of receiving Luo Zhuo Wanjin just now, he said: "The holy monk Sanzang Master traveled all the way west to the Da Lei Yin Temple with great perseverance, and met the Western Buddha to obtain the Sanzang Sutra, so that everyone in the Tang Dynasty has the possibility of liberation, in the hearts of the Tang people, the Sanzang Master is more noble than the Tang Emperor, if someone calls the name of the holy monk on the street, I am afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of those believers, in their hearts, it is to avoid the holy monk." ”
"Is it such an exaggeration?" said Luo Zhuo in disbelief.
"Don't believe it, you don't know the status of the holy monk in the hearts of the Tang people, not only the holy monk, but in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, all the monks will be looked down upon. Chen Mu said, "The holy monk is also a strange person, in order to learn scriptures from the west, he actually made a big wish, let it go, and only relied on his feet along the way, and really walked to the Great Leiyin Temple." ”
"He's also a cultivator?" Luo Zhuo heard what Chen Mu meant, wasn't Tang Seng the powerless monk in Journey to the West?
"Of course, the holy monk is a cultivator, when he set off from Chang'an, he had already passed the heavenly tribulation and obtained the position of heavenly immortal. Chen Mu glanced at Luo Zhuo strangely and said.
"I see," Luo Zhuo nodded thoughtfully, "He still lives in Datang?"
"That's not true, I don't know where the holy monk lives, but every hundred years, he will hold a Dharma meeting in Chang'an, at that time, the gathering of Buddhists from all over the world is also a unique grand scene in the Tang Dynasty. Chen Mu said.
"Oh, will the Monkey King appear then?" Luo Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said.
As soon as the seven words of Monkey King came out, there was a bang, the sky and the earth changed color, the sky was tumbling, and in an instant it seemed that the sky was about to collapse, and several indescribable powerful divine consciousness appeared out of thin air, and that divine consciousness had covered the entire Nanzhan Continent almost instantly.
Luo Zhuo and the three of them felt a pressure falling from the sky at the same time, and Shangguan Jin sat on the ground even more uneasily, and at the moment when the divine sense scanned it, the Hongmeng purple qi in the depths of Luo Zhuo's primordial realm suddenly moved, and an invisible force enveloped Luo Zhuo and the others, allowing the divine consciousness to sweep through.
After a while, those terrifying divine senses disappeared, and the entire Nanzhan Continent was in a trance for a moment, not knowing what had just happened.
"What did you say just now?" Chen Mu's eyes returned to clarity, as if he didn't know the situation just now, and asked a little confused.
Luo Zhuo's face was very ugly, and he was silent, Chen Mu didn't know what happened just now, but Luo Zhuo was clear, he just mentioned the seven words of Monkey King, as if he had touched some terrifying existence, if it wasn't for the Hongmeng purple qi just now, I am afraid that someone would have discovered it.
"Brother Chen, was the holy monk alone when he traveled all the way west?" Luo Zhuo thought about it and asked.
"Of course not, the holy monk has sealed the cultivation, how can a person go over, the holy monk has three apprentices, the eldest apprentice is the former marshal of Tianpeng, the second apprentice was the general of the curtain in the heavenly court, and the third apprentice is the third prince of the Dragon Palace, the three apprentices of the holy monk have amazing mana, escorting the holy monk all the way, killing demons and demons, and finally they all got positive results. Chen Mu said.
"Is the big apprentice Zhu Bajie?" Luo Zhuo muttered to himself, he seemed to understand something.
No longer inquiring about Tang Seng, Luo Zhuo said to Chen Mu: "The money on my body is not too much, first buy the map of Qingzhou, as well as the map of several nearby states, and I want to inquire about some news of the nearby cultivation sects, I don't know if your pavilion has it?"
"There's no problem with that. Hearing that Luo Zhuo no longer opened his mouth and closed his mouth to ask for all their maps, Chen Mu felt that this was the attitude of buying things, and said with a smile: "In this way, for the introduction of the major cultivation sects, I will organize a booklet, and it is not a secret news, so I will give it to the guest officer." ”
The map of several states, this business is not small, and he can get a commission of thousands of taels after calculating it, the fairy world is different from the earth, the immortals and customs here are mixed, in addition to the immortal stones, gold can also buy a lot of cultivation materials. Therefore, Chen Mu, a Mahayana monk, was willing to become the steward of Wanbao Pavilion. If you want to practice, you can't do it without a lot of material support, just like Luo Zhuo, if you hadn't robbed Yu Wenming once, he would still be on the earth now, it is impossible to recover to the Mahayana period so quickly, and may not even recover forever, without immortal stones, there is almost no way to practice on the earth.
Just when Luo Zhuo and Chen Mu were talking about business, in several places in the depths of the clouds, several different voices said almost identical words: "There are still people in the mortal world who remember his name, find out what's going on?" (To be continued.) )
