Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

After hearing Yang Hongyu's words, a sinister smile appeared on the old monk's face.

"Female donor, your appetite is too big. Do you think that there is nothing you can do about this Daxingshan Temple except Lao Monk? You are too naive."

"Oh, really, then you should tell me how many others are like you, with only one breath left, lingering here."

When Yang Hongyu explained his current situation, the old monk didn't panic at all.

He took a deep look at Yang Hongyu and said with a hint of regret in his eyes: "It's a pity that you are a girl. If you were a man, you could inherit my mantle."

"I'm a woman and I can't do it. There are so many bald monks out there. Why don't you pass on your mantle to them?"

Yang Hongyu asked jokingly.

The old monk shook his head: "They are not suitable, and they are not qualified to inherit my mantle."

When the old monk said this, Yang Hongyu felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, alarm bells rang in her heart, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

As if he could see Yang Hongyu's nervousness, the old monk chuckled lightly, with two rows of yellow teeth showing on his skull-like face and said with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, little baby. Since I have made a decision, I will not change it easily. You are not suitable to inherit my mantle, so I will not attack you again."

As he said that, he turned his hand and a cloth bag appeared and threw it towards Yang Hongyu.

Yang Hongyu didn't notice anything unusual on the bag, so she took it directly.

When he opened it, he saw a secret book, a small box and a map inside.

"These three things are destined for you, so I will give them to you. The elixir in the box is a life-sustaining elixir. If you take this elixir and practice according to the exercise route of the "Yi Jin Jing", then, Even if you step through the gate of hell with one foot, you can still save people."

Yang Hongyu looked at the old monk in confusion. How did he know that he had practiced the "Yi Jin Jing"?

Could it be that this old guy came here for his own "Yi Jin Jing" from the beginning?

After a second thought, I gave up the idea, no, judging from the strength the other party is showing now, if it really wants to be disadvantageous to itself, it should still be possible to do it if it pays some price.

Seeing Yang Hongyu thinking, the old monk smiled arrogantly: "Girl, don't think about it. The pill I gave you is only useful for men, and it is only useful for men who are boys. It will not be useful to you, or those who have lost Yuan Yang. Yes, that’s a poison.”

After hearing the old monk's explanation, Yang Hongyu's already uneasy mind became even more uneasy.

"Senior, since the restrictions on the use of this medicine are so great, why did you give it to me? Are you sure that I can find someone to use it?"

The old monk said nothing more, with that charming smile on his face, staring straight at Yang Hongyu.

After a long time, he finally said: "Girl, I said, you and I are destined. If you don't use it now, it doesn't mean you won't use it in the future. When that person uses up this medicine, you need to wait within 10 days." , bring people here, otherwise you will fall short, remember this."

"As for the grievances against Buddhism, I have said that I will help you resolve them, so go ahead."

After saying that, the old monk closed his eyes tightly, as if he was sitting down.

If Yang Hongyu hadn't been able to feel the faintest wave of life on that withered body, she would have thought that he had passed away.

After thinking about it, Yang Hongyu decided to put the things away, then turned around and left with a slight curl of the corners of her mouth.

The moment she turned around, she waved her jade hand, grabbed a fine jade box on the shelf next to her, and rushed towards the stairs in an instant.

However, what she didn't expect was that the old monk seemed to have actually passed away and didn't even raise his eyebrows at her actions.

Just when she wanted to go back and look for something else.

The old monk's eyelids on the futon twitched, as if he was about to wake up.

Yang Hongyu rushed out like a frightened rabbit.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Shimin sat on the throne, and after Wang Dehai shouted that he would come out if there was something going on and leave the court if nothing happened, Fang Xuanling stood up and shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, I have my own intention."

Ever since Li Shimin ordered Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin to be removed from office and put under house arrest, the ministers in the court would never report the matter to the court unless there were major undecidable events every day.

Because the matter between the two of them has not yet been determined, Li Shimin just found an excuse to put them under house arrest. After several trials, they were not sent to jail, so they were kept in the house.

No one knew why the two of them had offended His Majesty the Emperor, so they spent this period of time fearfully and cautiously.

Seeing Fang Xuanling take the initiative to show off today, Li Shimin looked at him deeply. Could it be that these guys finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to jump out and plead for those two people?

After thinking about it, Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "What did Aiqing say?"

Unable to see Li Shimin's happiness and anger, Fang Xuanling, who was already worried, said: "Your Majesty, when I went out this morning, I passed by Fangshi and heard rumors that a natural disaster was coming and there was going to be a frost disaster. Your Majesty, please make an early decision."

Li Shimin frowned, looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "Fang Xiang, you also said it was a rumor among the people. Why, I have been so busy recently that even such rumors can be discussed in the main hall? "

Seeing Li Shimin's unkind tone, Du Ruhui stood up hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's not because Xuan Ling is leisurely, but the atmosphere in the city has been a little weird recently. I am afraid that chaos will occur, so I want your Majesty to make a decision."

Seeing that Du Ruhui also stood up, Li Shimin's expression softened a little. He nodded to the two of them and said, "In that case, you two will tell me what happened."

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was not angry, both of them wiped away cold sweat.

Fang Xuanling then reported the news he found.

"Your Majesty, since more than half a month ago, suspicious and unidentified people have appeared around Chang'an, collecting and monopolizing winter supplies, especially firewood and the like."

"They not only raised the purchase price, but also used a large amount of refined salt to exchange for firewood, making it difficult to find firewood in Chang'an City."

"Although I have made many visits and asked those who exchanged and sold it, both parties said that it was a legitimate transaction and there was nothing fishy about it. Therefore, I was helpless for the time being."

"It's just that the news of a major disaster came out this morning, which made me suddenly realize that if there is really a major disaster, it makes sense for them to stock up on these supplies in advance."

After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin smiled disdainfully and was about to reprimand him.

But he thought that if there was no major disaster and the news was just a rumor released by those businessmen to confuse the people and raise the price of winter storage materials, then it would be natural for him to reprimand them at this time.

But if there is a catastrophic disaster, if I reprimand them now, when the catastrophe comes, will I be called a coward?
