[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

The eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty took back the powerful snow demon in the Daxue Mountain without making a fuss, and let the snow demon accept the worship of the master, and protect the master during the times. This good news soon followed the team entering the mountain, and spread It reached the ears of every herb collector.

"It's no wonder that this year we went to the mountains to collect herbs. The journey went so smoothly, and none of our hands were lost. I didn't expect that the master's family would be protected by Lord Snow Demon!"

"Sigh, it's also our negligence. We have lived in this snow mountain for generations, but we have never thought of worshiping Lord Snow Demon. No wonder Sir set off a blizzard to bury the snow lotus. It must be that we have not worshiped and angered Sir. , What a sin, what a sin!"

"When the Lord's temple is built, we must collect money to buy more sacrificial incense candles, so that we can worship the Lord, and pray that the Lord Snow Demon will protect us from going in and out safely."

"Speaking of which, Lord Minaka is very lucky to be able to get the job of building a temple for Lord Snow Demon. This is the great merit of Zebei's descendants!"

"Yes, Lord Minaka is really lucky, if I get the protection of Lord Snow Demon..."

"Hmph! Just you? Do you think anyone can build Lord Snow Demon's temple? Fortunately, Lord Minaka met an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, how could Lord Snow Demon be willing to show up? "

This year's snow mountain is much more lively than in previous years. Everyone is talking about the eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty and the mysterious mountain god Snow Demon. The super strong Minaka ordered people to expedite the construction of temporary temples and statues dedicated to Lord Snow Demon.

There is no way, he is a businessman, and he is born to pursue profit. If he wants to get a bumper harvest in this year's snow lotus season, he must get the protection and blessing of Lord Snow Demon as soon as possible.After all, he brought thousands of people into the mountains to pick snow lotus this year, even if one person died less, the saved pension would be enough to offer incense and food to Lord Snow Demon for several months.

Minaka's little abacus was crackling, and the snow demon Dongling, who had been "calculated" by him, was entertaining his little partner in his "temple" - Bairui, the snow lotus spirit.

Due to time constraints, it was too late to build a tall and majestic temple with flat bluestone, so Minaka asked people to build three wooden houses on the left and right with ready-made wood. The largest one in the middle is dedicated to the real statue of the snow demon. On the one hand, it is used for the temporary rest of the mountain people who come to worship, and on the other hand, it is used for the guardians of the temple. The place is not big, but the Snow Demon is already very satisfied.

He used to live in the ice cave, and was worried about where his next meal would be every day. He could almost be said to be a "sunlight monster", worse than the human moonlight clan.

But now, he is also a serious monster worshiped by mortals, and the Great Sage told him that as long as he devotes himself to cultivating and protecting the mountain people, he will definitely report to the heaven and ask him to be a mountain god in the future.I heard that the junior brother of the Great Sage is His Majesty Jade Emperor's Rolling Curtain General, so it is not difficult to get him the position of a mountain god.

Xue Yao Dongling happily moved into the newly built "Mountain Temple", and the next day personally invited her only little friend in the snowy mountain to visit his new home.

"Brother Dongling, is this your temple?" Looking at a row of three slightly shabby wooden houses, although Bai Rui, the snow lotus essence, did not want to hurt the fragile heart of her friend, she had to say that this temple is really not good. Pay attention.

Are mortals now so perfunctory to the mountain god?Bai Rui felt a little sad. Both she and Dongling had rescued the farmers who went to the mountains to collect medicines, and they never asked for anything in return. However, these mortals clearly agreed to build him a temple for Dongling, but they built it so perfunctorily. I can't feel wronged for my little friend.

"Cough~ it's temporary! It's all temporary! I've already secretly seen the blueprint of the temple. It's tall and majestic, and it will definitely be the most magnificent temple with a radius of hundreds of miles! I'll ask them to carve a statue for you too. I'll share half of the incense with you!" The snow demon Dongling was very generous to her friends.

"Then, let's protect the mountain people together from now on." Bai Rui was a little shy, but she couldn't bear to refuse.

She is not greedy for incense, it's just that she was born in the snow mountain for hundreds of years, and she only has such a good friend as the snow demon Dongling. On the cold snow mountain, Bai Rui was full of reluctance. Although the temple is small, at least he can be with his friends~

After the two friends discussed it, they went together to find the rich man who was said to have paid for Dongling to build the temple.They didn't know where Minaka's house was, so they could only dream.

Minaka never thought that his luck this year would be so good, God can also buy one get one free?

When Master Snow Demon said that the snow lotus spirit in the snow mountain was his little friend, and he also wanted to carve a statue to be enshrined in the temple, Minaka grinned loudly in his sleep: Hahahaha!This is the snow lotus essence, no, the snow lotus goddess!With the protection of this goddess, the snow lotus on their snow mountain will surely have a bumper harvest every year!

What is there to hesitate about?

Minaka immediately agreed to carve the most beautiful statue for Goddess Snow Lotus!

The snow lotus essence was very satisfied, and promised Minaka that as long as they worshiped devoutly and continued to believe, she would definitely bless the Minaka family to pick the best snow lotus.

The next morning, Minaka woke up with a smile on his face. After waking up, he didn't have time to wash his face, so he immediately ordered someone to get a pen and paper, and drew down the appearance of the snow lotus fairy he saw in his dream. Hurry up and hurry up, and try to complete the new mountain temple before it is built.

Although the Lord Mountain God and Fairy Snow Lotus did not say it clearly, Minaka felt that he had guessed the truth: Lord Mountain God and Fairy Snow Lotus must love each other deeply, and for some reason they cannot be married, so they can only use the image of the statue. Formally reunited in the mountain temple, how could he fail to fulfill such a touching love?

Minaka used to be a poet when he was young. Although he later abandoned his writing and started a business because of family reasons, he was still a sentimental literati in his heart. At this time, he had already filled his mind with the 180 episodes of "The Mountain God and the Snow Lotus Fairy Love and Love". I was so moved by the poignant and beautiful love story, that I vowed to overcome all difficulties, even if the high priest disagreed, he would put the statues of the mountain god and the snow lotus fairy together.

In addition, Minaka also regained his pen and ink and wrote a poem about the poignant and touching love story between the mountain god and the snow lotus fairy. The poems of the Huluo Kingdom are different from those of the Tang Dynasty, and are more similar to some kind of narrative long poems. After writing several pieces of parchment, if Wu Cong hadn't known that Xue Yao Dong Ling and Xue Lian Jing had no relationship between men and women, even he could hardly help believing that this love story is real.

The literati's pen is really terrible!

However, what none of them expected was that along with the spread of Minakha's poignant love poem, the temporarily built mountain temple unexpectedly became the new hottest spot for online celebrities in Qidaduo City: The Scholars They came here on a pilgrimage in search of inspiration, and even young people with unlimited imaginations about love flocked here. They firmly believed that as long as they worshiped the mountain god and the snow lotus fairy devoutly, their marriage would be smooth and their wishes would come true.

After all, in Minaka-sama's writings, the mountain god and Snow Lotus fairy can never be married for some reason, so they are especially willing to solve the marriage problems for mortals.So much so that the incense of the monk temple in Qidaduo City has dimmed a lot. After all, Buddhism always makes people pure and ascetic, but the mountain temple can help them get out of the order~

"I hope Guanyin Bodhisattva will not misunderstand. This matter is really not because we deliberately targeted Buddhism..." Tang Xuanzang didn't know what to say when he saw the long line of believers outside the mountain temple who came to offer incense and pray for marriage.

He didn't have a good impression of Western Buddhism, and even made up his mind to go back to Chang'an and meet the Tang King and immediately return to vulgarity. However, he really planned to draw Buddhist believers to Taoism.As for those believers outside the mountain temple who are not at all firm and devout to Buddhism, he can only say that for young people in Qidaduo City, becoming a Buddha is really not as attractive as getting out of the order, right?

"Don't worry, Bodhisattvas won't be so stingy." Wu Hong comforted without sincerity, besides, isn't it just a matter of competing for incense?He remembered that some monk temples can also ask for marriage lottery. This can only be said that the temples in the Western Regions are not at all grounded in their business arrangements. They know that the local people are most eager to get out of the order, but they don't have the business of "seeking marriage". ?

He deserved to be snatched away by the fake mountain god Snow Demon Dongling!

However, since the snow demon Dongling is considered to be half of his own, Wu Cong took the time to go to Nantianmen to send a message to Sha Wujing, asking him to do a little favor and register Dongling's personnel department in Tianting. He succeeded in cultivation, so he performed the job of a mountain god for him. Anyway, the mountain god is not a real god. In the eyes of real civil servants in heaven, he is simply a temporary worker, or a temporary worker in the mortal world. For Wu Jing, it was nothing at all.

However, the gatekeeper of Nantianmen quickly passed the news to Sha Wujing.

No way, it's not the first time Monkey King has come to Nantianmen. The last time he almost overturned the entire Nantianmen defenders, leaving a great psychological shadow on the guards. He usually sends a message to others. Want to collect some benefits and send a message to Monkey King?Don't talk about taking benefits, they are afraid that the spread will be slow. If the monkeys make trouble, His Majesty the Jade Emperor may not be able to save them...

Tang Xuanzang had other important things to do when he arrived in Huoluo. They stayed in Qidaduo City for three days. Wu Cong also took the opportunity to collect more than 200 pots of snow lotus in the warehouse. He has already thought about how to sell these snow lotuses: first, he must ask for instructions Admin sir!

Wu Cong still hasn't forgotten the painful lesson of being almost banned last time.The roaring voice of the administrator's sister lingered for three days, which was impressive.

On the way to the capital of the Huoluo Kingdom, Minaka personally led an escort. Wu Kong could only give up the direct somersault cloud for a while, and took a carriage ride with Elder Tang. Arrived in the capital.

Looking at the city wall that could not be called towering in front of him, a trace of sadness flashed in Tang Xuanzang's eyes: No matter in his previous life or in this life, even though he devoted himself to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, even if the king of Tang and the subsequent emperors were wise and mighty, the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of the ultimate prosperity. After that, it is inevitable to go to the doomed decline after all.From the beginning to the end, only the common people suffer.

Just like the Huoluo Kingdom, when it was the most powerful in history, it almost occupied more than half of the Western Regions. At that time, there was no Tang Dynasty.But now?The Tang Dynasty in the East has a strong army and strong national power, while the Huoluo Kingdom has been divided into dozens of small countries in the Western Regions. It is a mess, and it no longer has the national strength to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

However, even knowing that the decline of the Tang Dynasty is inevitable, Tang Xuanzang still has to do his best to realize the Tang Dynasty's dream of a prosperous Tang Dynasty, both for the people of the Tang Dynasty and for himself.

The Lord of the Huoluo Kingdom came to greet him personally with all the civil and military officials, which can be said to have given King Tang enough face.In front of everyone, Tang Xuanzang naturally would not mention the sensitive topic of diplomatic relations between the two countries. He only said that he and his disciples came back from learning scriptures, passing by here, and came to pay homage to His Majesty the King, and exchange official documents.

The Lord of the Huoluo Kingdom is an extremely handsome man, with blue eyes, deep eye sockets, unbelievably long eyelashes, and a well-defined face, as fair as Tang Xuanzang, but slightly pale, and his lips are not even painted. And Zhu, although he was enthusiastic when facing Tang Xuanzang, he also had the majesty of the lord of the country, and he looked quite like a wise king.

However, Tang Xuanzang knew that although the ruler of the country was extremely intelligent, the Huluo Kingdom was jointly governed by the ruler and the high priest. Hundreds of years after his death, the entire Huoluo Kingdom has never been unified.Or perhaps, this is the situation that Buddhism really wants to see: when the world is in peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment, who would place hope in the illusory afterlife?

Just like those young people in the later generations who stay up late with their mobile phones, watch dramas, read novels, and pour water on the Internet... Playing until two or three o'clock in the night every day, they are reluctant to put down their mobile phones. Still thinking about eating fast and reciting scriptures, with a pure heart and few desires?It would be nice if you don't order takeaway...cough!

Nothing will happen to Wu Kong from now on. It’s not that Tang Xuanzang deliberately dismissed him. The main reason is that the high priest of the Huoluo Kingdom wants to have an interview with Tang Xuanzang alone. Wu Kong is only Tang Xuanzang’s apprentice in name, so naturally he is not qualified to participate in the leaders’ meetings. A high-end tea party, but this is just right, he just wants to take the time to discuss with the administrator the sales of the batch of fresh snow lotus.

He didn't intend to sell this thing cheaply.

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole Star Alliance, the plant of snow lotus, so far only exists in the historical records, not even a documentary, but the directors want to shoot a ball of wool without the real thing?

What makes the scientists of the Star Alliance miserable is that although they have a lot of plant seeds from the ancient earth period in their hands, the strange thing is that these plants seem to be born for the earth alone, even if they are on another planet, It is difficult to cultivate a place that is exactly the same as the growth environment of this plant on the earth. Even if it is cultivated in front of you, it will not be the same at all. It is really tiring!

Let's put it this way, once Wu Kong really took out the live snow lotus, it would not be a question of how much to sell, but who to sell it to.

Although the snow lotus is not an unearthed cultural relic, it is more inestimable than any other cultural relic in terms of value alone.

Because it was hard to estimate, Boss Wu kicked this difficult problem to the administrator.Anyway, the administrator yelled on his personal homepage every day that he was going to be bald, and it would be better to be completely bald. He gave Elder Tang a hand-copied volume of Buddhist scriptures for free, which is only for monks, and the administrator deserves it.

In the first living area of ​​the Star Alliance, the administrator in charge of Wu Kong cried bitterly and hugged the supervisor's thigh, urging a replacement. She can't do this job~

It’s fine if the legal blind sells the cultural relics, and it’s fine if you can play a side-ball to avoid punishment, and it’s fine if you often do things out of the blue. After all, she didn’t take advantage of Wu Kong, but now she has started to buy and sell endangered. There are living plants that are substantially extinct in the plant atlas of the Union... The administrator seems to have heard the sound of the siren.

"What are you afraid of? Apart from aliens, we haven't sold anything in these years?" "Isn't it just a live snow lotus? Let Mr. Wu give us a sample first, and I'll go to the Institute of Botany myself. If they can't afford it, let's put it up for auction~"

The supervisor laughed so hard that it could be said to be very rampant.

This is a live snow lotus!So far, it only exists in the literature of the ancient earth period. The experts at the Institute of Botany have studied it for thousands of years, and they haven't grown a single tree?He now has a full hundred pots in his hand!

At the moment of interest, the supervisor no longer cares about whether he will be invited to drink coffee by the police station. Anyway, after finishing this order, if he is lucky, the commission he gets will be enough for him to retire early.

However, executives may be reluctant to retire.In fact, if it weren't for the company's strict hierarchy, he even wanted to be Wu Kong's administrator himself.Thinking of this, the supervisor solemnly patted the administrator on the shoulder: "Xiao Xu, you must serve this Boss Wu well! Let me tell you, the risk is directly proportional to the benefit, don't always think about getting caught by the police." The Bureau invites you to drink coffee. If you think about it this way, how beneficial is it to startle those people? You work hard! This order is well done, and I will personally apply for a promotion and salary increase for you at the end of the year! "

The administrator was still crying, but when he heard the words "promotion and salary increase", he stopped crying and was stunned. He wiped away the non-existent tears on his face, resurrected in place, and ran to serve the benefactor Boss Wu has gone.

The supervisor smiled and looked at his somewhat cramped office, thinking with satisfaction: After finishing this order, next year, maybe he can change to a bigger office.

When Wu Cong contacted the administrator, it happened that the administrator had just been beaten by the supervisor. He was not too enthusiastic when facing Wu Cong, and almost scared Boss Wu enough: This administrator is big, Couldn't be too bald, heartbroken, crazy?

However, the administrator said that he wanted to take a snow lotus as a sample first, but Wu Cong did not refuse. Originally, there was no legal regulation on whether the snow lotus, a plant that had been virtually extinct, could be bought or sold.He can take advantage of the loopholes, but the administrator is also reasonable. Since he has found a stable source of snow lotus, he will definitely not sell it just this time.

Since I want to continue to do this business in the future, I have to pass the legal hurdle first.Before the public opinion has fermented, get the relevant departments first, and it is best to include the snow lotus in the list of products that can be sold on the star network, so that it will be a clear road.As for the sale of snow lotus, will there be any restrictions?The administrator also told the truth that he and Wu Kong had been vaccinated. Even their immediate superiors could not intervene in this matter. The laws of the Star Alliance are above everything else.

And the only thing they can do now is to try their best to fight for more rights and interests for Wu Kong and themselves within the scope allowed by the law.

"The sample is fine, but I want to apply for the lowest protection price." After listening to the administrator's analysis, Wu Cong also knew that it would be difficult for snow lotus to be auctioned. After all, it is a species that has long been substantially extinct. If there is a live snow lotus in bloom, among other things, some research institutes affiliated with the Star Alliance will definitely jump out and strongly oppose the auction of this endangered to extinction species.

However, Boss Wu is resolutely unwilling to make a loss-making business.Boss Wu, who always had a pitiful image in front of the administrators, told the administrator very seriously that he did not monopolize the profits of these snow lotuses, but a joint venture with the indigenous boss in the place of origin (Minaka, a relative of the royal family) , Moreover, he himself actually only holds [-]% of the shares, and the rest belong to the boss.

In other words, if the minimum protection price that Xingwang negotiated for him did not reach the profit margin that the boss wanted, he, the middleman, would not be able to prevent the boss from terminating the transaction.After all, everyone is well aware of the rarity of this thing, and the transaction object can be determined by Xingwang. However, as the seller, they also have their own bottom line for the transaction price.

The administrator didn't expect that the goods this time were not all Wu Hong's own, but it was not unreasonable to think about it, after all, this is the legendary snow lotus!Wu Hao took out so much again, obviously someone in the place of origin cooperated with him, otherwise, just mining and digging would be a big project.She promised to do her best to fight for Wu Hong, and for the rest, she was just a small administrator, and she couldn't make any promises to Wu Hong.

"Master, do you have any, uh, not so rare ones that you can sell? You see, your store hasn't posted new ones for almost a month. If this continues, the old customers will run out. After talking about the serious business, the administrator saw that Boss Wu was rarely online, so he tried to persuade him earnestly.

She was really worried about Wu Hong. If she was an ordinary store owner, she finally got millions of live fans, so why don't she try her best to make new money?Wu Hao is good, things are on the shelves, and even people disappear when they are sold out... It can be said that it is very Buddhist.

I used to broadcast live to fans, but now I even stopped the live broadcast.

"This, let me look for it." Wu Hong wiped his cold sweat with a guilty conscience.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be new, it’s true, he’s seen all the way, and all that can be sold, and those that are placed on the star network are all cultural relics, and the shadow of being sprayed by the administrator last time has not yet come out Well, these things must not be sold.

However, now that they have entered the city, the capital of Luo Luo Kingdom seems to be relatively prosperous. Wu Hao decided to go to the streets early tomorrow morning to find out if there are any local specialty snacks, and sell some on the shelves first.

Anyway, they are all food, so they can’t be considered unearthed cultural relics, right?At most, it can be found out that it used to be something from the ancient earth period, and it is a material cultural heritage~ He can still make more gimmicks.Wu Hao secretly planned tomorrow's itinerary, propped his head and waited for Elder Tang to come back.

This person has always been the darling of the monsters, if he doesn't come back, Wu Hao dare not fall asleep.
