Being delayed by the old monk's affairs, if he tried to rush to Minzhou City, he was afraid that he would miss the closing time and not be able to enter the city. So at the old monk's kind invitation, Li Changan rested for the night in the group room.
……………………
Early next morning.
"Boom."
The distant sound of bells breaks the silence in the mountains, and the morning bells accompany the morning glow, creating an artistic conception of a secluded temple in the mountains.
But no matter how good the artistic conception is, it still disturbs people's dreams.
Li Changan turned over and pulled the quilt to cover his ears, but the sound of the bell penetrated his eardrums unyieldingly, so he had no choice but to stand up, yawn and get out of bed.
Opening the door, the morning light shone brightly.
The rooster had just begun to crow, and Li Changan felt low blood pressure on his forehead and felt irritated when he woke up.
You said you, a fake monk, are doing morning bells and evening drums in the temple?
"Good morning, Taoist priest." In the corridor, a young novice sweeping the floor saw Li Changan and quickly put his hands together in salute.
"Well, good morning, little master." Li Changan responded casually, but suddenly froze before taking two steps.
"Huh? Little monk?"
He turned around so suddenly that the little novice monk dropped his broom to the ground.
Li Changan stared at the little novice monk's embarrassed expression and smooth head.
Oh, what a monk!
After fighting Feifei yesterday, Li Changan also swaggered around the temple for a while. Along the way, he didn't look at any of the monks in the temple, and bandits were everywhere. After all, even the Bodhisattva gave up his seat to the meat and wine, and Li Changan just thought
This temple is just a den of thieves, I didn’t expect...
He laughed with interest, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, arriving in front of the main hall.
When he left the main hall yesterday, Li Changan saw drunken bandits all over the floor. Now, the bandits were nowhere to be seen, and only a few monks were sweeping the place.
A sound of chanting came into his ears, and Li Changan followed the sound and walked towards the side hall where the banquet was held yesterday.
He strolled into the hall, and the Bodhisattvas on both sides of the side hall had returned to their places. They should be compassionate and angry. The Tathagata Buddha sat on his seat with a low eyebrow and smiled lightly. The plaque that had been "stealed" by Tian Xing was replaced with "Buddha's light shines everywhere".
”.
In front of the Tathagata, the old monk was wearing a cassock and leading a dozen monks in a grand manner to recite scriptures.
Overnight, the bandits' den turned back into a monk's temple.
Oh, this world is really weird and bizarre.
………………
When the old monk saw Li Changan, he came up to him.
"Amitabha, Taoist Master is awake."
Li Changan smiled, not bothering to pretend to be pretentious with him, and bluntly said that he was here to say goodbye.
"Taoist Master, please wait a moment."
The old monk gave a few instructions to the monks and took Li Changan to a side courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he put aside the pretense of being a great monk, clasped his fists at Li Changan and said loudly:
"Yesterday, my little boy really troubled the Taoist priest, so I prepared some gifts for the Taoist priest to practice."
He clapped his hands, and two bandits with shaved hair and perms and ring scars carried a large box into the yard.
The two of them carried the box to the old monk, put it down, and opened it. When Li Changan looked inside, he looked strange.
The old monk saw the sudden change in Li Changan's expression, frowned slightly, and still smiled heartily: "Taoist Master, this gift..."
He originally thought that Li Changan was too young, and thought that this Taoist priest looked free and easy, but he was so greedy in private, so he couldn't help but despise him, but when he turned around, he was stunned.
It’s not that the items in the box are valuable or unique, they are just some silk cloths. It doesn’t matter, because this world has the habit of using silk cloths as currency. But the problem is that Li Changan wanders around.
Isn’t it a burden for a wandering Taoist priest from the end of the world to carry such a large box of stuff with him?
The most important thing is that the gift prepared by the old monk is not silk!
With a gloomy face, he called the box carrier to his side and asked in a low voice:
"What's going on? Where is the money I prepared!"
The man carrying the box had a grimace and leaned into the old monk's ear, whispering something. As the old monk listened, his expression became angry, confused, and confused, just like the clouds in the mountains, changing in ever-changing ways.
Although it sounds complicated, it is very common. If nothing else, parents will have this expression every time they hear that their naughty child is cheating again.
"Taoist priest...hey!" The old monk didn't look like a giant bandit at this moment. "Please wait a moment, I'll prepare another one."
"No."
Li Changan waved his hand and suddenly strode to the box. A charm was burning quietly in his hand. He leaned over and buried his head in the box, his nose twitched a few times (harmony), then he stood up and nodded and said:
"really."
Just opening the box, Li Changan looked strange, not because of the cloth, but because of the familiar smell faintly wafting out of the box. He held up the Chonglong Jade Talisman, aroused his nose, walked closer and smelled carefully, and then confirmed that the cloth was on
The smell is very similar to the smell in the Snake Head Mountain Cave.
It's the smell of the spider monster!
Li Changan turned around and asked, "Where does this come from?"
……………………
"This is the recently famous 'Yun Huansha'!"
"It is said that the material is pure white when woven, does not touch dust or water, and is very tough, but it is as light as nothing when worn on the body. When it came out, it was priceless. Even the officials in the city wanted to
Use this material as a tribute to the emperor..."
Li Changan raised his hand to interrupt the rambling words of the man opposite him. How could a bandit who was robbing things turn into a salesman with just one mouthful?
"I'm asking where this thing comes from?"
Li Changan asked more carefully, and he discovered just now that the evil spirit on the Yun Huan gauze was not from contamination, but from the material itself. In other words... Li Changan came to a somewhat shocking conclusion... This
The raw materials of the ingredients are likely to come from the demon itself!
"This material comes from Qi County."
"Qi County?" Li Changan remembered that there was Qi County under the jurisdiction of Minzhou City.
"That's right." The man took the opportunity to open the conversation again, "This Qi County used to be poor. The land was poor and the water was even worse. Good farmers could not grow in the land. They could only marry their daughters outside, not their wives inside.
But it is said that a Weaver Girl suddenly came from the mountains of Qi County and brought with her the fairy shuttle that weaves the sunset in the sky, which is why this 'cloud weaver and mist spinner' was created..."
"Wait a minute." Li Changan suddenly asked: "Mountain? What mountain?"
The man replied blankly: "Yunluo Mountain."
"A big spider came from a mountain in Minzhou. It was so ferocious that it ate up all the little monsters nearby."
Li Changan rubbed the short beard growing out of his chin. Is that it?
………………………………
Li Changan declined the old monk's offer and took the donkey out of the mountain gate.
This temple was built on the mountainside. It was still early and there was still mist on the mountain road, but there were already pilgrims coming to worship the Buddha.
When they saw Li Changan, their eyes were full of strangeness. A short-haired Taoist priest led a donkey out of the monk temple?
However, Li Changan looked at them with even weirder expressions.
There are countless temples in the world, and there are even more Bodhisattvas. Why do you worship the blood-licking Bodhisattva in this temple?
He went down the mountain, turned around, and went to Naqi County to see the "Weaver Girl" before he got on the donkey.
