Chapter 343 Lu Zhishen: The poor monk is good at talking about marriage! [Requesting a monthly pass]
“I always feel that the people at the counter have strange eyes.”
Not far from Guanlan Mingshu Community, Li Yu took the newly bought small blue pills and a Walking out of the pharmacy with a box of pregnancy test sticks, I couldn't help but muttered.
Professor Zhou, who was wearing slippers and hot pants, was so happy that he couldn't stand up:
"Don't you say you are the savior every day? A savior has to endure the incomprehension of others..."
< br>
Li Yu held the medicine bag in one hand and held Tong Baobao's hand in the other and threatened:
"Tease me again and I will make you beg for mercy tonight!"
"I won't laugh at you, there is a store ahead of me. Let’s buy some skewers of rock sugar gourds?”
“Okay, no problem.”
On the way there, Li Yu called Liu Xie:
"Wait at the B&B for a while. Your wife and I will send the things there... Have you eaten?"
"Aunt Xiuhe made a bowl of hot pot shredded pork noodles for the students and just started eating."< br>
As long as you are not hungry... Li Yu hung up the phone, thinking that his eldest apprentice had not eaten candied haws, so he was going to buy more.
There were only a few rock sugar gourds in a bunch, so Li Yu bought double portions of all the flavors and asked Liu Xie to take them there later to share some with his younger brother and sister, Cai Yan.
It is said that a newly pregnant person has no appetite, so the sweet and sour candied haws should give her an appetite.
Zhou Ruotong bought some blueberries, grapes, oranges, grapefruits and other fruits suitable for pregnant women at the fruit shop next door. The couple drove back to the B&B and saw Yue Fei also coming, sitting in the restaurant chatting with Liu Xie.
"Have Pengju eaten?"
"I just finished eating. My brother-in-law and Yang Zhi competed in archery skills and shot several yellow sheep. We stewed several pots."
Li Yu handed over the newly bought small blue pill:
"Ma Ling will go back to the village to get the medicine in a few days, just give it to him then."
After saying that, he placed the pregnancy test stick in front of Liu Xie:
"Are you full? If not, I will do something else."
"Thank you, sir, the student has eaten enough. "
Yue Fei was just about to ask what kind of medicine it was. When he saw the words on the medicine box, he wisely didn't ask any more questions and quickly put it into his small shoulder bag with a blushing face.
Zhou Ruotong said to Liu Xie:
"I bought Cai Yan some fruits suitable for pregnant women. They are all in the car. Take them to her when you leave. There are also some candied haws of sugarcane, and they are also taken away with you."
"Students obey! "
Li Yu sat down, looked at Yue Fei and said:
"Today Yan Qing and the others held a meeting in Zhending Mansion, and I sat in on the meeting with Nuwa Empress... They I plan to take over the entire Zhending Mansion during the Lantern Festival. I think Xuande can go there in advance and choose a place to set up a repeater antenna along the way. "
The repeater can increase the signal of the walkie-talkie countless times. After taking over Zhending Mansion, we built a large radio signal tower in the city to form a three-way communication linkage between Zhending Mansion, Qilin Village, and Tokyo City.
Zhending City and Qilin Village are their own territory, and large signal towers will be built directly. If there are suitable places along the way, you can buy some large yards and set up small repeater antennas relying on big trees or mountain peaks.
This type of antenna is very simple. It looks like a pipe several meters high, but it can transmit the signal of the intercom very far, which is suitable for ancient society.
Of course, you can also directly occupy a mountain, build a large signal tower, build a solar farm, and then send a group of people dressed as bandits to guard it.
But this matter is not too urgent. With Ma Ling, the divine colt, and Gongsun Sheng flying around, there is no big problem in delivering the message at the moment.
I didn’t expect that my husband could actually observe the meeting of Zhending Mansion. Yue Fei quickly said:
"Let the students talk to the emperor when they get back."
After the Zhending Mansion is captured, the large forces in Qilin Village will gradually move there, and Zhou Tong, Chai Huangcheng and others will stay in Qilin Village. Peace of mind Retirement.
While a few people were chatting in the restaurant, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong strolled over at the Changchun Street intersection of Zhending Mansion, carrying their respective bags.
Zhou Tong was quite excited. Soon he would be able to get a sum of money and live in a luxurious place... Take a bath first, dress yourself up nicely, and then have a good sleep.
Damn it, there are lice in the Chase Shop. I need to wash it with sulfur soap several times.
Li Zhong, on the other hand, was more pragmatic. He took out the plasters he made and sold them along the street as he walked:
“Real tiger bone plasters can strengthen the body, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and also treat infertility. Everyone comes here. Everyone is here to see it!”
But his enthusiasm did not bring in a single customer. Most of the people on the street were attracted by the fortune-telling stall across the street, and they crowded around three floors inside and three floors outside. , you can’t see the people inside, you can only hear praises:
“Old god, your calculations are too accurate, right?”
“You can even see this. Come out? I have never mentioned it to anyone since I was a child!”
"Old god, please accept my worship!"
"They all say that my son looks nothing like me. Can you help me take a look? I will pay ten taels of silver!"
"..."
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong looked at each other and truly understood the meaning of "people deserve to be compared with others, and goods deserve to be thrown away".
Damn it, everyone comes from the same place. Fan Rui was invited into the Cao Mansion by a sedan chair on the first day to preach. Qiao Daoqing just arrived at Zhending Mansion a few days ago. He became a famous old god in the whole city.
Even the quiet young Taoist priest Xie Yingdeng is said to have earned no less than a thousand taels of silver recently by walking around the streets to read Feng Shui.
Zhou Tong and Li Zhong worked hard for a few days, and finally sold... five pairs of plasters, one of which was returned, saying that it had no effect on treating infertility.
"Put away your broken plaster, it's a shame!"
Zhou Tong felt that even if he played with his chest and smashed rocks on the street, it wouldn't be so miserable. He seriously doubted this guy Li Zhong Have you sold any plasters in the past?
Li Zhong is also very aggrieved:
"I told you that tiger bone plaster has nothing to do with infertility, but you still don't believe it. You insist on asking me to do this... Let's go and have a look first."
It's already evening. , but Qiao Daoqing was still surrounded by many customers, so the two had no choice but to put away the plaster, pick up the pole, and squeeze into the crowd pretending to be watching the excitement.
As soon as he entered, Qiao Daoqing, who was dressed as an old man, suddenly pointed at Li Zhong, and then he was startled, making a "ho" sound in his mouth, and then collapsed to the ground and fainted.
Oh my God, it doesn’t look like it’s just pretending. Is something really going on?
Li Zhong quickly put down the pole and planned to save people.
But the person next to him who was taking the children to see the fortune tellers stopped:
"What are you doing? Don't touch the old god, he hasn't shown me the fortune teller yet."
Li Zhong was worried about Qiao Daoqing's condition and couldn't help but kicked the man:
"Did you faint without even looking at it? It's important to send him to the hospital to save people quickly!"
"But mine What do you think?”
Zhou Tong looked at the looks and skin color of the father and son, and said earnestly:
"You don't need to trouble the old gods, I can understand your appearance... Your wife has either stolen the man, or married you I was pregnant before, and this child has nothing to do with you anyway... Get out of the way, don't delay our rescue!"
Li Zhong picked up Qiao Daoqing and went straight to the nearby medical center while Zhou Tong cleaned up. At the fortune-telling stall, he followed behind with a pole, muttering as he walked:
"A blind person can tell that it's not the father and mother, so he has to go around to find people to ask. Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
>As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Daoqing suddenly said next to him:
"This person knows very well, but he just refuses to accept it, so he first offered to give ten taels of silver, hoping that I would lie and help him get over the hurdle in his heart..."
Zhou Tong glanced at Li Li in front of him. The old Taoist priest Zhong was carrying was so frightened that he almost threw the pole on his shoulders:
“Why are you by my side?”
“It’s just an illusion, don’t panic.”
Although his job is to investigate intelligence as an undercover agent, Qiao Daoqing has never given up practicing martial arts, and even deliberately used the art of illusion to turn himself into an old man.
When he fainted just now, he immediately left the crowd and carefully observed his surroundings to see if his fortune-telling booth was being spied on by anyone.
When he arrived at the hospital, Qiao Daoqing was "rescued". He said a lot of thanks, paid the medical expenses, took out three hundred taels of silver from his luggage, and handed it to Li Zhong with both hands. :
"I can't repay the kindness of saving my life, so I will give these things from Adu to my two benefactors. Please don't dislike them!"
According to the words in "Water Margin" According to the setting, one or twenty taels of silver is enough for a family to pay for food and clothing for a whole year. Three hundred taels is a lot of money, let alone a hotel. Even if the two of them go to the Nuanxiang Building where Ma Lin is undercover to spend money, it will be enough. Can kick for a long time.
Li Zhong pretended to shirk it, and then accepted it. Then he picked up a pole and left Changchun Street with Zhou Tong. He first went back to a cheap hotel to settle the room fee, and then chose a medium-sized restaurant and asked for it. Got two upper rooms.
As soon as the two moved in, Qiao Daoqing and Xie Yingdeng appeared on the roof.
“The man by the window on the left side of the hall has been staring at the package on Li Zhong.”
“After the two left the hospital, several little beggars followed.”< br>
“When the inn was settling the room bill, the owner’s eyes clearly brightened. After they left, the owner immediately called a waiter to whisper, not knowing what he was talking about.”
“ ..." Soon, the two of them put together the information they obtained and came to a conclusion:
"Someone has already made a plan in the city. No matter whether it is overt or covert, as long as something special happens, it will be noticed... You won't meet your colleagues, right?"
Own side The purpose is to capture the Zhending Mansion, then use this place as the foundation to go north to sweep away the foreign races, and then go south to defeat the Zhao and Song Dynasties and establish a unified political power.
Why did the other party do this?
Are you also planning to rebel and become independent?
Qiao Daoqing said:
"I'll find someone to follow and find out who's behind the scenes. You keep an eye on them. If anything happens, let's contact you via walkie-talkie."
"Okay!"
Qiao Daoqing disappeared from the roof. Xie Yingdeng came downstairs and booked the room opposite Li Zhong and Zhoutong, so that no matter what happened, he could take action immediately.
At the same time, inside Kaiyuan Temple.
Lu Zhishen was sitting in the Zen room, talking with the chief monk, elders, waiters, Wei Na and other management of the temple.
The first one clasped his hands together and said:
"Although our temple is located in a corner of the north, since the temple was built in the second year of Xinghe in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the incense has been strong and there are countless followers... The holy monk is also a teacher. What insights does Elder Zhizhen of Mount Wutai have on Buddhism?”
What insights? What insights?
Lu Zhishen opened his mouth and forced himself to add drama:
"The poor monk doesn't have much understanding. He only knows that mountains are mountains and water is water. Life is just a drop in the ocean. The so-called enlightenment is nothing more than an earthworm shaking a tree..."
He came into contact with a lot in Qilin Village. Modern knowledge, coupled with Liu Bei's occasional religious insights, unexpectedly came in handy today.
Although these words are pieced together, it is still very easy to deal with the monks of the Song Dynasty.
An old monk wearing purple and gold cassocks tasted it, nodded and praised:
“This is a wonderful saying, so good!”
After hearing the abbot's words, the other monks all clasped their hands respectfully and recited Amitabha Buddha together.
The elder in charge of the incense affairs asked:
“I don’t know what the holy monk is good at, reading Zen? Interpreting dreams?”
Lu Zhishen is a rough guy, how can he understand these things? He thought about it and thought that he had forcibly broken up Zhou Tong's marriage, and said shamelessly:
"A poor monk knows a thing or two about marriage."
A few young monks sitting far away couldn't help but cover their mouths in amusement. They were tall and strong, with sinister faces, and they looked like Angry King Kong. They actually said that they were good at marriage.
Are you planning to knock people unconscious and send them to the bridal chamber?
However, if someone really wants to marry him later, he can let this holy monk try.
Everyone continued to talk for a long time, asking and answering questions, and they didn’t stop until it was getting late.
When the monks left, the old abbot opened his eyes and said to Lu Zhishen:
"The poor monk is about to pass away, and the monks in the temple are mediocre, so I want to find an abbot for Kaiyuan Temple... In the future, you can continue to make contributions, and the poor monk will not stop you, but when you enter this door, you must not drink alcohol or eat meat. You may remember ?”
Lu Zhishen touched his bare head:
“Is it okay to leave this door?”
“I am a poor monk in a place that is not mine. I didn’t see it.”
Lu Zhishen leaned on the futon and said with a smile:
"Isn't this self-deception? I think being a monk is good for everything, but it's just too reserved. Look at how free and easy those wise men are..."
Before he finished speaking, the abbot couldn't help but sigh. Tone:
"Junior Brother Zhizhen, why did you accept a disciple like you? That's all, I don't care too much about you... Go back, don't be late for morning class tomorrow."
Not only did Lu Zhishen not leave, but he sat opposite the abbot:
"If you call my master your junior brother, then you are my uncle? Master, please accept your respects from the Sa family!"
< br>
But the old monk didn't want to pay attention to him, and just kept reciting Buddhist scriptures.
Lu Zhishen felt bored and left muttering. Under the leadership of the young novice monk, he came to his Zen room, arranged the Zen sticks, rings and knives one by one, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
As soon as it was dawn, Lu Zhishen got out of bed, went to the latrine, washed his face randomly, took out the toothpaste and toothbrush from his bag, and brushed his teeth carefully.
After finishing these tasks, he put on a new monk's robe and followed the young novice to the Main Hall to do morning lessons. Then he came to the dining room and started to have breakfast.
While eating, the old abbot walked in, and Lu Zhishen touched the little novice monk:
"What is his dharma name?"
"Zen Master Zhiyuan, like you, comes from Mount Wutai... The holy monk doesn't know who he is, so why was he appointed as the next generation abbot?"
You ask me, who should I ask?
Hao Duanduan was walking on the street, and Fei dragged me to come to Kaiyuan Temple to be the abbot.
Who is a good person who would do such a thing on the street?
Lu Zhishen took a sip of the white porridge with the pickles, and said goodbye to the big fish, meat, and fine wine for the time being. Fortunately, he still had enough to eat and could occasionally go to Fengmingxuan to have a toothpaste with Brother Sun Xin.
I don’t know how my uncle’s teeth are. Next time, I will give him a piece of fermented bean curd meat to try.
While thinking about this, Monk Hua picked up the fifth bowl of rice porridge and continued to work. He drank a total of eight bowls of porridge, and then he was barely full.
He put down the bowl, walked to sit next to Zen Master Zhiyuan, and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle, when can I go out?"
"Buddhism teaches that there is a cycle of seven days, so you should go out once every seven days... If someone commits crimes, kills, or sets fires, don't come back, so as not to implicate Kaiyuan Temple."
Zhiyuan Zen Master is explaining. Then, Lu Zhishen suddenly took out a small bag of peanut candy from his arms, tore it open and threw the candy into the rice porridge held by Zhiyuan:
"Try it, this candy is delicious."< br>
Zhiyuan: "..."
Seeing that his uncle refused to eat, Lu Zhishen threatened in a low voice:
"If you don't eat it, I will put a piece of pig head meat next time... This is a candy from the fairy world. Eating it can strengthen the body, activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, prolong life, and can also cure..."
He almost killed Zhou Infertility is usually on the lips.
Worried that his uncle would be angry, this guy quickly got up and left.
Zhiyuan shook his head, picked up the candy in the bowl, and smiled softly:
"My wisdom is deep and my heart is sincere. I really envy my junior brother to have such a good apprentice. ”
He tasted the candy and it was indeed delicious.
The monk on the side asked:
"Zen Master, what does this candy taste like?"
Zhiyuan sighed leisurely:
"Life is just a bitter fruit. ”
After saying that, he took another bite. Well, it was indeed bitter. The more you tasted it, the more bitter it became!
Lu Zhishen walked around the temple and asked the young novice beside him:
"Is there a warrior monk in the temple?"
"Report to the holy monk, Zen Master I feel that using weapons rashly is not good for cultivating the Tao, so I have canceled the monks.”
Lu Zhishen was not happy when he heard this:
"That's nonsense. Without monk soldiers, how can we maintain the majesty of Buddhism? Tathagata Buddha is also protected by Wei Tuo. How can a human temple be without monks?"
The emperor's uncle wants to start an uprising in Zhending Mansion, and the Sa family If you don't have anything to offer, just train five hundred monk soldiers to help you!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly found Zen Master Zhiyuan and put forward his request:
"Uncle, aliens are raging and the country will be destroyed. We monks cannot sit idly by, otherwise we will be The people are scolding me. I want to rally the team of monks in the temple. Master, if you eat my candy, it means you agree."
Zhiyuan: "..."
That piece of candy is certainly bitter.
Zhiyuan did not object, but said:
“You can have monks and soldiers, but you must abide by the Dharma and worship the Buddha sincerely.”
“No problem, I am best at persuading people. Worship the Buddha...Master, please continue eating, I will go and think about recruiting monk soldiers."
Leaving the dining room, Lu Zhishen was just about to contact everyone through the intercom, but he felt that recruiting monk soldiers was not a good idea. Better to choose among believers.
Monk soldiers, monk soldiers, must be monks first, and then soldiers.
When he arrived at the Main Hall, this guy was about to ask the host of the hall how to contact the believers. The host came over first:
“This morning, the family of the garrison general Fan Xiangke held incense and prayed. Marriage, the holy monk is proficient in this matter, why not take charge of this matter? General Fan is a devout believer in our Buddha, please be careful in your words and actions, and don't offend."
What?
Did you really find me a marriage job?
Lu Zhishen felt that this guy just wanted to make a fool of himself, but since he was a garrison general, it would be a good idea to get in touch with him and establish a relationship in advance, maybe it would be useful in the future.
Thinking of this, he bulged up his muscles and said with confidence:
"A humble monk can definitely handle a trivial matter!"
