Chapter 214 I want to go see it too The lights in the inn lobby were dim. The guys are serving the food. A plate of sheepskin filaments, a pot of fish in milk soup, and a pot of pork elbow with handle, all steaming hot. Although the rain outside had stopped, the cold air was getting stronger, as if the rain had brought us from autumn to winter. The lobby of the inn was in stark contrast to the cold night outside. There were footsteps coming up the wooden stairs leading to the second floor. Two Taoists, one bringing a fox, the other bringing a cat, and a warrior, all came down from upstairs. "Three of you, the dishes are ready." The guy greeted them with a smile. "Make another bowl of mutton soup and filter two bowls of wine for me. It's a bit cold today, so I need some to warm myself up." Luo Seng said.
"okay!" The three of them sat down at the table. I just walked along a wet stone road. Fortunately, this section of road near the county town is paved with gravel, and it is easy to walk on after the rain water has seeped away. It was just as Luo Seng had said. There were many merchants outside the county town, and there was no shortage of hotels, inns, restaurants or shops. Now that they had some money in their pockets, they found a pretty good inn. They not only asked for three rooms, but also asked the owner to prepare a good meal for them. At this time, just sit down and eat it and you will feel satisfied immediately. It is said that people who practice Taoism do not care about money, and that money is something outside of one's body. But if your wallet is a little fuller, you can stay in a good hotel during the journey and have a good meal after a rain. This feeling is really different. Especially since this money was not stolen or robbed, you can feel at ease when you earn it and spend it. "The wine is here! The soup will have to wait!" The waiter came up with two bowls of wine, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "We brew our own wine. No one else is allowed to brew wine. They all have to buy it from us! Our wine is also strong. After drinking a bowl, I guarantee that a brave man's body will warm up immediately and he won't feel cold all night." “The weather is changing so fast.” Luo Seng picked up one of the bowls of wine and pointed to the other bowl of wine while speaking to Lin Jue. "That's right! The sun came out a few days ago, and it felt a bit like autumn. But after the rain these few days, it feels like winter again!" the guy replied. "It will get warmer in a few days, and after a few more days of rain, winter will finally come." Lin Jue also said to Luo Seng, "I can't drink much, and I have to meditate at night, so I won't drink." "Oh! Can the Taoist priest see the celestial phenomena?" the waiter asked in surprise. "A little bit." "Then I have to see if the weather in the next few days is as the Taoist said." said the waiter. "The weather changes all the time, there is no fixed number. Even if there is a fixed number, it cannot resist the changes. I dare not say it is absolutely accurate, but it is roughly like this." Lin Jue said and looked at him again, "Isn't it like this most of the years?"
"That's true." At this time, the soup in the kitchen was not ready yet, and the waiter had nothing to do, so he was happy to chat with them here. Luo Seng took this opportunity to ask: "We are new here, but we heard on the way that there is a Green Narcissus Man here who can lead people to heaven to become immortals. Is it true?" "Ouch……" When the guy heard this, he fell silent. Obviously he was not as talkative as the waiter in the inn in Qingyan County. "Bang! Gululu..." Several copper coins flew from the warrior's hands, landed on the empty table next to him, and formed a circle. Under the light, the warrior's face looked vicissitudes and his expression was calm: "That person said that this matter is known to everyone in Fanghua County. Are you the only one who doesn't know?" The implication is that you can ask others if you don’t want to tell them. "It's not that I don't know, I just don't dare to say it!" Although the waiter said this, he also showed embarrassment, but he reached out and took the copper coins and spread them in his hand. "Why don't you dare to say it? Isn't that a god?" "They used to say they were gods, but a while ago, a royal inspector from the imperial court came here and said they were not gods, but monsters. He said those people did not ascend to heaven, but were murdered." The waiter couldn't help showing a bit of fear on his face, and lowered his voice, "In this case, how dare I say anything casually?" "Is this true? Then who do you believe?" "I am just an innkeeper. How can I be said to trust anyone? I just want to live my life well." "Smart move." Luo Seng nodded, paused, and then asked, "Now that something like this has happened, no one should dare to go there to pray for immortality, right?" "How not?" "Is there anyone who dares to go here?" "Not as many as before, but there are still some," the waiter answered truthfully. "I just went to see the little one last month." "Huh?" Luo Seng couldn't help but be surprised. "Do the people here believe it so firmly?" "No matter what, there is always something." The guy still said so, but his expression was a little strange, and he didn't say it directly. Then he said, "You will know when you go and see it." "I'm just thinking about going there to see it! Can you show me the way?" "Um……" The guy waved his hand, and the copper coins in his hand flew up and down, making a series of crisp sounds. "You naughty guy!" Luo Seng just smiled and didn't bother with him.
With a flick of his thumb, without any other movement of his hands, a few copper coins flew up and landed in the waiter's hand. "Great skill, hero!" The guy was immediately happy. "On the fifteenth of every month, go out and turn right, first walk towards Chenxi County. Walk forty miles and you will see a cliff. Turn right and follow a small path for another ten miles. You will arrive. It's okay if you can't remember. There will be many people on the road. Just follow them." The guy paused as he spoke: "Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, and there are still a few days until the fifteenth day. If you are still staying in the inn, I can come and call you then." "Row!" Luo Seng agreed decisively. The junior sister couldn't help but look at her senior brother. Seeing that he didn't object, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. When they were on the road before, they would stay in temples if they could. If they couldn't find a place to stay, they would sleep in the wilderness. Occasionally, they would stay in a hotel, but it was mostly thatched houses and horse inns, and they would only stay for one night. It was not like this time, staying in a good inn for several days. Is this what it feels like when rich people spend money? Why do I feel so bad? The junior sister felt a little distressed and had to eat rice like crazy. There was a shout from the kitchen. The waiter went to serve the soup. A pot of mutton soup with a thin layer of mutton on top and sliced white radish at the bottom, which looks very shiny. The junior sister had just finished eating her rice. She picked up the spoon, and without hesitation, she pushed aside the top layer of meat and scooped up a big bowl of white radish and soup. "Junior sister, eat more meat and have a good rest here for the next two days. I'll come over to see you in a few days." "knew!" The junior sister held the bowl and lowered her head, slurping the soup. They finished their meal quickly and Lin Jue went to pay the bill. Just as the junior sister was about to turn around and go upstairs to rest, he called her back and handed her a small porcelain bottle not much bigger than a thumb. This was the small bottle that the second senior brother liked most to store precious elixirs. "Eat it." The junior sister took it as usual. Before she even looked down, she knew what it was just by feeling the strong spiritual charm and mystery. It is the extremely precious Lingyuan Pill. "Senior brother, this is..." "Don't ask so many questions. I'll ask the waiter to boil some water and send it to your room later. Take a hot bath before eating. After eating, practice well and have a good sleep." "it is good!" The junior sister then took the bottle and went upstairs. Caili followed her up the stairs, hopping on the stairs behind her. Lin Jue and Fox also returned to the room. It's true that this good room is different. In addition to a large bed, an eight-immortal table and four benches, it also has a washstand and clothes drying rack, and even some ornaments. In addition, the free space in the room is enough for Lin Jue to continue playing the ball throwing game with Fuyao.
“Spacious…” Lin Jue muttered to himself, feeling better, and lit the night lamp, placing it on the table, then picked up the wood carving knife. "rustle……" The ground was covered with sawdust. The fox sat obediently beside him, watching him transform the dead wood into something magical, with sparkling eyes. There is one thing to be thankful for - Among the four martial artists and three constables who were willing to follow him this time, two were quite good at using bows. They might not be as good as the hunter who was an excellent archer, but they should be better than Mr. Luo who lived next door to him and had unparalleled swordsmanship. Lin Jue first chose them two. In fact, I had been helped a lot by that archer before. He ate and drank, meditated and slept, carved bean soldiers, discussed magic with his junior sister, played with the fox, and looked out the window at the merchants and travelers coming and going below. A few days passed quickly. It was the early morning of September 15th, and the sky was just beginning to brighten. "Tuk tuk..." The innkeeper came and knocked on their door. Then came his gruff voice: "Hero! Taoist priest! Fairy! The large group heading to the Immortal Platform is here! If you want to go, just follow them!" This guy is trustworthy. Lin Jue had just stood up, wiped his face, and was about to push the window to look out when he saw the fox jump to the window, push the window open, then sit by the window and look back at him. "Thank you!" Lin Jue rubbed the fox's head and looked down. Sure enough, there was a large group of people, coming in a grand and mighty manner. I couldn't see clearly in the dim light, but I saw some people carrying firecrackers and incense, some carrying sacrificial offerings, some leading mules and horses, and some even sitting in sedan chairs, going from left to right. At first glance, I thought that a temple fair had been opened in the city, and these people were going to pay homage to the gods. But it's about the same. "Tuk tuk..." "understood." Lin Jue hurried to wash his face and rinse his mouth. However, Lin Jue and his junior sister now had a lot of luggage, which was mainly Lin Jue's things, and it took quite a time to pack. So Luo Seng waited for them at the door while eating steamed buns. When we finished cleaning up, the main group had already gone far away. "Don't worry, they are all heading in the same direction. They are not walking fast, so we can just chase them." Luo Seng handed over two steamed buns, each as big as his cheeks, "Eat while you walk." "it is good!"
The rent had been paid, and the three of them went out directly. The two Taoists took out a paper donkey from their pockets: "The donkey showed himself." In the hazy early morning, two gray donkeys appeared at the door of the inn, and two Taoists put bamboo baskets on them. The waiter behind them just came out and wanted to ask them if they wanted to bring some incense and candles over, but when he saw this scene, he was stunned. When they arrived at the inn a few nights ago, it was already dark and the inn was closed. He heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door and looked out, there were only the three of them, a horse, a fox and a cat outside. He was still curious about how the two Taoists brought the two large bamboo baskets of luggage. "So that's it." The guy couldn't help but mutter to himself in a daze. There was a sound of hooves. When he came to his senses, the three people had already walked into the morning mist and their figures gradually disappeared. "hiss!" The guy shuddered. Could it be that these two people are gods? With a thoughtful look in his eyes, he put down the rag and made a decision. He decided to go and take a look today. …… Asking for a monthly ticket! (End of this chapter)
