Chapter 18 This Thigh Is Too Thick

The next day, Changqing Temple held a not-so-grand send-off ceremony for Abbot Changqing.

The main reason was that there were too many pilgrims who came to see the excitement, and the temple gate, front hall, and square were all crowded, so we had to open the back door and quietly send him down the mountain.

Xu Ran was leading the horse in front. Abbot Changqing was wearing a purple cloud cassock, holding a purple gold bowl in his left hand, and waving the bronze subduing magic pestle with his right hand, simply saying goodbye to monks such as Jianglong.

Fortunately, Abbot Changqing lived in seclusion on weekdays, and not many people knew him.

Because of Xu Ran's walking, after walking the ten-mile sandy dirt road, it was almost noon when he arrived outside the city of Changqing County.

"Brother Xu Xian, let's find a place to drink and eat meat, and change into plain clothes by the way. Wearing this is not only uncomfortable, but also too eye-catching."

Abbot Changqing saw passers-by staring at him and begged Xu Ran.

"Alright," Xu Ran saw a bustling street outside the city gate, and led his horse over, "But you still have to wear this clothes, it depends on you to make money."

Abbot Changqing was stunned, "How do you say that?"

The two found a restaurant to sit down, Abbot Changqing ordered braised pork and stewed chicken in an iron pot, Xu Ran said: "The county magistrate only gave 30 taels of silver, we don't have enough money, so we have to rely on you to make money.

In addition, you have a whole body of Dharma but you can't control it. Didn't we bring out some introductory Dharma? After you practice from scratch, we have to find a place to practice it, right? "

Abbot Changqing rolled his eyes, feeling that this matter is not very reliable, "You mean, let me subdue demons and eliminate demons to make money?"

"Master Abbot is really smart."

"Absolutely not!"

Abbot Changqing said in horror: "The demons and ghosts in the book are all extremely vicious, drinking blood and eating flesh, and devouring people's souls alive. You are killing me!"

"Are you afraid of ordinary demons and ghosts?"

Xu Ran got up suddenly, went over and snatched the cook's bone-chopping knife, ran back and stabbed Abbot Changqing's arm three times.

The abbot Changqing was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly, the diners in the restaurant exclaimed, and the cook who came to grab the bone-chopping knife was even more frightened and collapsed on the ground.

clang!clang!clang!
Abbot Changqing's shoulders were covered with a faint golden Buddha's light, and the bone-chopping knife was bounced off one after another as if it were being cut on a block of iron.

"No, are you okay?"

Abbot Changqing touched his arm tremblingly, and said joyfully, "I'm so terrified?"

The diners also gathered around, they did not know Abbot Changqing, who lived in seclusion, and exclaimed:

"Hey, this master is really a living King Kong!"

"May I ask which fairy land the master is practicing in?"

Xu Ran helped the cook on the ground, gave him back the bone-chopping knife, and said apologetically, "The blade is curled, please sharpen it before using it."

The cook tremblingly held the knife in front of his eyes. He was speechless for a while, then turned back to the chopping board, chopped open a piece of pork bone with the knife, and murmured: "This, this is my knife..."

Xu Ran cupped his hands at the diners, and said with a smile: "My surname is Xu, and I am a policeman from Taoyuan County. I invite this master to go to Taoyuan County to hunt down monsters. He will stay for a few days when he passes by your place. If there are any ghosts and ghosts in your place, You can invite big things to practice, as long as you pay some incense money."

Some diners asked, "Where can I find you?"

Xu Ran thought for a while and asked, "Which street in Changqing County is the most lively?"

The diner said: "Of course it's Gulou Street. No. [-] Gulou Street is Yichun Courtyard, where the girls are the most beautiful and the busiest."

When Abbot Changqing heard the words Yichunyuan, his eyes lit up immediately, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, if there is anything to benefactors, you can go to the Gulou Street to find the poor monk."

This time even Xu Ran was stunned.

The old guy who keeps clamoring for a concubine, doesn't he want to have sex with a prostitute?
He hurriedly added: "Master and I are only staying for a short time. If you need to ask for something after two days, you only need to go to Wanxi Town, Taoyuan County to look for it."

……

At this time, the waiter brought the food.

A large bowl of braised pork, a large pot of stewed chicken in an iron pot, a plate of fried tofu, and a plate of fried vegetables.

Abbot Changqing picked up the jug, filled a glass for Xu Ran, poured wine for himself, said please, and ate and drank meat and wine.

All the diners were about to disperse, and they were amazed again when they saw that the monk in front of him actually drank wine and ate meat.

Abbot Changqing pointed at the crowd with his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart. As long as you have a Buddha in your heart, why bother to stick to small details? It's all gone."

Seeing everyone dispersed, Xu Ran raised his glass to respect him, and sighed: "Your performance is so good, I admire you!"

"It's just a joke, why take it seriously," Abbot Changqing said with a smile, "Brother Xu Xian is right, we want to make money, how can we live a good life if we don't make money."

I was so scared to death just now, I refused, but I figured it out so quickly.

Xu Ran said: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid, why not afraid?"

Abbot Changqing said: "We can choose. If the monster described by the visitor is too ferocious, just find an excuse not to go. Of course, I have to ask Xu Xiandi to check it out."

Thinking of going with himself, Xu Ran raised his glass, "Master is really a master!"

Abbot Changqing clinked glasses with him, and said in a low voice, "I'm Wang Yuanwai. Don't call me Master Wang when there is no one else, just call me Brother Wang."

"Then it's still called the old king."

"This title seems close, very good."

……

Abbot Changqing’s desire to eat meat has not been fully satisfied all year round. In addition, he was reborn on Abbot Changqing’s body in the past few days. He ate nothing meaty in the temple. It's fun.

Xu Ran was full soon, and his eyes fell on the bronze pestle and purple gold bowl on the table.

These two things seem ordinary, but are they the treasures of Changqing Temple?

Stretch out your hand and caress the bronze subduing magic pestle lightly, the hand is warm and cool, like jade.

And very heavy.

Xu Ran couldn't lift it with one hand, but Lao Wang held it effortlessly before, and asked doubtfully, "Old Wang, how heavy do you think this subduing magic pestle is?"

Old Wang swallowed, and said vaguely, "Three or four catties."

Why do I feel like I weigh more than thirty or forty catties?
Holding the pestle in both hands, Xu Ran lifted one end off the table with a little force, and then a system prompt appeared in his mind.

[System: Found a Buddhist instrument, do you want to check it? 】

Check it out.

……

Isn't this attribute too heaven-defying?

Xu Ran instantly felt that his gloomy black magic sword was not good.

Fortunately, the Subduing Demon Pestle needs to be level 28 to use it, and I am still far behind.

And brush Changqing Abbot Boss should be able to drop, so don't be greedy, sooner or later there will be.

Wait, I can't hold the magic subduing pestle because I don't have enough level?

Doesn't that mean that the old Wang who is eating a lot of meat and drinking heavily in front of him, that is, the physical body of Abbot Changqing, is at least level 28 or above?
Maybe the level is higher, because his apprentice Jianglong doesn't have much trouble carrying it, and as a master, his level will only be higher.

It really is the thigh.

It seems that Brother Meng's revenge will be avenged soon!

Xu Ran was refreshed, and went to get the purple gold bowl, which was also not light.

……

He also looked at the purple cloud cassock that Old Wang was wearing. He had already smeared a few spots of oil on it after feasting on it.

Xu Ran took a deep breath, Lao Wang has such a terrifying body, and he is carrying three rare treasures, his thighs are really thick.

However, if you keep carrying these treasures in your hand, if someone who cares about them sees them and thinks about them, with your current ability and Lao Wang who has little knowledge of Buddhism, he may not be able to keep them.

So he tentatively said: "Old Wang, these treasures of yours are too eye-catching, let's put them away, and be careful not to attract the prying eyes of bad people."

Old Wang drank the wine in his glass and hiccupped, "Where can I put such a big thing?"

Xu Ran smiled and said, "Why don't I keep it for you first?"
