Chapter 103 Hitchhiking, meeting a ghost in the night temple
After inviting three smelly men to give him a bath, Wu Qiudao was finally able to accept their smell.
To be honest, if nothing else, Wu Qiudao has really been intolerable about the sanitary conditions since his time travel. Even after joining the Kunlun sect, there are no descaling spells and repairing spells like those in "Harry Potter".
Douchi does all the laundry and cooking.
This weird fairy world may be full of magic and martial arts, but it is really not down to earth, and there are very few fairy arts that can be used in practical life. At least Kunlun has not seen it, and all life problems are thrown to Dou Puppet.
Don't look at Zhong Liquan, Lu Yan and other Qi refiners who look like immortals. If one day the Dou Puppets go on strike and rebel, I think they will turn Tianyong City into a mess in less than three days.
After taking a bath, Zhang Tianqin and the others returned the favor and took Wu Qiudao to the mutual market to buy dry food, water, clothes and bedding. They were surprised to learn that Wu Qiudao himself had a set of blankets and sleeping bags. After looking carefully, he said that he would be rich in the future.
You need to find a Chengnan tailor to make a similar set.
They also asked if they wanted to take Wu Qiudao to a brothel for a fling. When Wu Qiudao went over to have a look with great interest, he found that the prostitutes the three of them interacted with were all of the lower-end kind. He felt that he could get by with his appearance.
That is to say, I am a living Bodhisattva and wait for the completion of my work outside.
Wu Qiudao secretly asked his senior brother if he wanted to buy some cat food, but he gave him a cat-like look and said that he had a way to find something to eat. He quickly ran out. Not long after, before the three people inside came out, the senior brother came.
Came back with a dead rabbit in his mouth.
When the three of them came out with red faces, they were very happy to see the dead rabbit in Wu Qiudao's hand. They made an appointment to roast the rabbit outside the city in the afternoon. After eating the roasted rabbit, Wu Qiudao finally couldn't help but asked: "Three brothers, what are you doing?"
When shall we set off?”
They were full of wine and food, carrying the remaining meat and bones, and casually replied: "Wait."
That's right, just wait. The four soldiers divided into two groups. Zhang Tianqin and Wu Qiudao squatted in the hotel every day to read the white list, while Toutuo Lumao and Sogdian He Desen went to Hushikou to see if there was a caravan heading to Shuzhou.
When Wu Qiudao asked about the reason, their answers were both expected and reasonable. It was very simple. No one had any transportation animals such as donkeys and horses, so they could only ride on other people's caravans' carriages and horses.
Make some money as a guard.
There's no way around it. Those who can accept a master like Wu Qiudao are mostly at the bottom of the team like Zhang Tianqin. They can't afford the cost of buying and maintaining horses, and they walk too slowly, so they come up with this trick.
After the Huihe mercenaries helped the Tang Dynasty quell the Anshi Rebellion, tens of thousands of horses were sold to the Tang Dynasty every year. But at that time, one horse was exchanged for forty pieces of silk. A piece of silk cost 800 Wen, and 1,000 Wen was a copper coin.
One tael of silver, forty bolts of silk is 32 taels of silver.
Up to now, the six major Protectorate of Anxi, Beiting, Chanyu, Anbei, Andong and Annan have been completely defeated. There is only one Annan Protectorate left in the Tang Dynasty. It is also attacked by Tubo and Nanzhao all the year round. The source of horses has decreased sharply.
Nowadays, an ordinary horse costs hundreds of taels of silver, which is too expensive for anyone in the world.
Wu Qiudao was lucky. Zhang Tianqin and the others had been waiting for seven or eight days before. After Wu Qiudao joined the gang, they only waited three days before a caravan that happened to be passing through Shuzhou was willing to take them along. But again, the guards
The cost has dropped a lot.
But now the government is corrupt and road bandits are rampant. I heard that there is a severe drought in Guandong this year and some people have rebelled. The guards along the way are really going to be bloody. Zhang Tianqin talked with the leader of the caravan for a long time and won another four hundred coins.
I paid my life and agreed with satisfaction.
Lu Mao looked a bit like a stranger, so Wu Qiudao curiously asked He Desen, a Sogdian from Fanbang with a strong accent, whether the four hundred coins were four hundred coins per person or four hundred coins in total. He Desen turned it over
I rolled my eyes, of course it was a total of 400 yuan.
Wu Qiudao nodded, yes, the money for working hard was withheld by the capitalists with excuses, and everyone was so happy just to get back 100 copper coins. From this point of view, how can this wanderer who is a gangster look like the people who wait on the overpass in future generations?
Are migrant workers just as miserable?
Didn’t Senior Brother lead me into a red sea of the market? The Yaxing Jiebang section looks very complicated!
It didn't take long for the four of them to get their luggage and go out of the city gate. They found a caravan who was reluctant to go into the city to pay taxes. They threw their luggage on the donkey cart and got on it. Only such a small caravan who was very economical could do it.
I will find a small team like them who are along the way to help protect me.
Captain Zhang Tianqin proudly boasted to Wu Qiudao: "Brother Wu, how are you? It's not a bad idea to follow me, right?"
Wu Qiudao chuckled a few words and reluctantly dealt with it. Looking at the mountainous terrain of Sichuan, he sighed and hoped that the bumpy road would not hurt his buttocks.
Since the captains Zhang Tianqin, Lu Mao, and He Desen all had their nameplates as Genggan, and the three unknown men also brought Wu Qiudao, a Gui-level newcomer, the caravan's attitude toward them along the way was to shout around, drink, and eat.
They are the last to eat.
That night, Wu Qiudao yawned and chatted with He Desen by the campfire. They had been chopping firewood and keeping vigil for the past few days. They had not slept well at all, so that he had a very irregular schedule.
law.
Wu Qiudao also had the "Stinging Dragon Technique" taught by "Sleeping Fairy" Ji Chen. He could seize the time and enter deep sleep to restore his energy at every odd moment. However, Zhang Tianqin, Lu Mao and He Desen were all very tired and had dark circles under their eyes.
They're all out.
He didn't know how these three people managed to survive. After all, it was impossible for the same people to keep vigil all the time. They all took turns, but one vigil would affect your work and rest.
Lu Maoliu's hands shook. He stood up and walked a few steps to cheer up. He glanced into the ruined temple hall where the caravan was resting, and then asked: "Have you seen a few figures over there?
?”
Wu Qiudao was startled. He looked up and found that there was nothing, so he replied: "No!"
He Desen's face was also very exciting, and he said with surprise and fear: "I...I really want to see it too!"
Before Wu Qiudao could say anything, senior brother Mao jumped on his shoulder and whispered: "They are right, there is indeed something in the temple. Don't see it with your naked eyes, you have to use your spiritual sense to sense it!"
Wu Qiudao panicked after hearing this and asked quickly: "Brother, are there really ghosts in this world?"
Brother Cat replied: "I can't say, I only know that after the death of all living beings in the world, their souls will dissipate between heaven and earth. No one has ever caught a ghost and dared to say, this is the so-and-so I know!"
"But in Huang Liang's dream, you also encountered the resurrected infernal corpse, and also saw the haunting ghost. Although there are no ghosts after death, there are indeed strange phenomena that we can't explain."
Wu Qiudao was greatly shocked: "The Patriarch Donghua is an Earth Immortal, does he even say there are no ghosts?"
Senior Brother Mao nodded solemnly and said: "No!"
"There is no underworld? No past and present lives? No reincarnation?"
"No!"
What kind of fairy world is this Taima? There are not even ghosts? They have all been eaten up by the great road, right? No, then the Queen Mother of the West said that you are the reincarnation of the East Prince! Or is reincarnation different from what I understand?
Same?
"But what's in that?"
"Junior brother, you want to go down the mountain to experience yourself, so you should investigate this matter yourself."
