General Zhiyi

Chapter 11 The Demon Monk

The person called "Wu Na" was dressed in an unconventional plain white monk's robe, half covered with the same plain cassock, and was carrying an empty bamboo basket. His feet were bare/naked without a trace of dust.

He clasped his palms together, nodded slightly to Tang Jingxu and the others, and said: "Amitabha, General Tang, Donor Yin, Donor Ying, long time no see."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head. It was a face that could be judged to be without any waves at a glance. It was lonely in the silence. , his light brown eyeballs rolled slightly, silently wandering over the faces of several people, and then looked around again.

"Don't worry, he just left and didn't notice you are here." Tang Jingxu said.

Hearing this, Wu Na's tense shoulders immediately relaxed, and his eyes fell on Tang Jingxu again.

It seemed that he had just seen Tang Jingxu's three-inch body at this time, and there was a flash of surprise in Wuna's eyes, which was fleeting, and then calmed down the next moment, and said: "The poor monk passed here for alms, I don't know how the general will be here. Here?"

"Oh, how rare!" Tang Jingxu raised his eyebrows, "This general has been wandering in the four worlds for 800 years, and this is the first time I have heard that a monk turned into a ghost market for alms, and..."

As he said that, Tang Jingxu glanced at the steaming meat buns in the steamer, and said with a straight face, "You still eat meat buns, you've learned badly, nothing."

"The poor monk eats steamed buns." Wu that face did not change.

"Steamed buns?" Tang Jingxu laughed dumbly, "You actually forced a human bun maker to make steamed buns for you? Hahaha..."

Wu Na shook his head and said lightly: "The benefactor has a heart, why do you say 'force'? Tomorrow the poor monk will save the benefactor so that..."

"Stop!" Tang Jingxu raised his hand and made a stop gesture while laughing so hard, pointed at the steamed stuffed bun stall owner whose face was ashen when he heard the word "extreme degree", he took a breath and continued, " You really underestimate yourself, the demon monk Wuna, looking at the three worlds of demons, ghosts and gods, how many of you don’t recognize your name? Not to mention your name, this white cassock is enough to make these little demons and ghosts look like you from a distance. Fuck you guys, you said you want steamed buns, who would dare not give them?"

Wu Na has long been used to Tang Jingxu's outspokenness, and he didn't care what he said, but he glanced at the shivering stall owner lightly, and said without any emotion in his tone: "The poor monk is just a wandering monk. It is not enough to be praised. I am ashamed to say that I passed by here the day before yesterday and accidentally learned that several people had their legs gouged out. Amitabha, the poor monk is very unbearable. I am willing to suffer this pain on my behalf. I don’t know what to do next?"

Hearing this, the stall owner immediately shook like a sieve, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop, but he didn't beg for mercy, closed his eyes, and calmed down instead: "At the beginning, they wanted a piece of meat bun. They broke my legs and threw me into a mass grave to starve to death. Now, I dug up their leg meat and made buns to feed the resentful spirits here, cursing their misfortune in their lives. I am happy. Save me or kill me, I have no complaints."

"Amitabha." Wu Na clasped his hands together and muttered softly, raised his hand and waved lightly, and the figure of the stall owner gradually disappeared.

For Wu Na's behavior of saving a resentful soul by raising his hand regardless of the occasion, Tang Jingxu has long been used to it. He yawned, winked lazily at the onlookers, and said, "Repay the grievances with you!" When is it, do you think so?"

Wuna also glanced at the ghosts, and was swept away by those unmoving eyes, the ghosts swallowed silently, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, not to be provoked...

"Farewell, poor monk." After finishing speaking, Wuna turned around and walked towards the city gate that had not yet been closed, as if he really just came to make a fortune, and a steamed bun would be enough.

Seeing the city gate slowly closing behind him, Yin Liansheng's gentle voice sounded beside Tang Jingxu: "It's time."

Tang Jingxu nodded: "Let's go, Hua'er should be waiting."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a slender figure stumbling towards him from the front. Tang Jingxu narrowed his eyes to see the person clearly, and exchanged a glance with Yin Liansheng, seeing the same confusion in his eyes.

"Tang... Huh?" The man ran up to them panting, and suddenly saw Tang Jingxu three inches above Yin Liansheng's shoulder, and his words stuck in his throat when he spoke halfway.

Seeing Tang Jingxu's embarrassing expression, Yin Liansheng took over the conversation in good time and asked, "Why is Miss Mo so flustered?"

Mo Xiaoyan hastily shifted her attention away from Tang Jingxu's new image, tried her best to straighten her tongue and replied, "Young man...he..."

"Caught by a monster." Ying Li's ghostly voice sounded as usual.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Xiaoyan paused suddenly, nodded her head and said, "I was captured by the monster!"

Hearing this, Tang Jingxu frowned slightly, and instantly put aside the embarrassment of being seen by an acquaintance with a three-inch body, lowered his eyes for a moment, looked up at Mo Xiaoyan, and asked: "Ms. Chen, he went to Lao Zhu's place to cheat...cough, I donated some incense ash to you to exchange for rouge?"

Mo Xiaoyan hurriedly nodded and replied: "Exactly, Mr. Hua did say that he went to Mr. Zhu."

"Then he was taken away in front of your stall?"

"Yes, he just changed his clothes and came out of my room. He happened to bump into a group of demons passing by. They saw that the dude had an extraordinary appearance, so they spoke rudely, saying...uh...he...uh..." Mo Xiao said as she spoke. Yan slightly turned his face to the side, showing a shy expression on his face, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment, his pale fingers twisted subconsciously in the handkerchief, and he couldn't continue talking for a long time.

Tang Jingxu understood. After all, Mo Xiaoyan's identity as Princess Mo Xiaoyan was on the line. The upbringing and instilled ideas she had received since she was a child made her virtuous and virtuous. Although she had been wandering in dirty places for a hundred years, she still kept With that initial gentleness and dignity, there were unavoidable scruples between words and deeds, and there were some things she really couldn't say.

Tang Jingxu is used to her temperament, although she didn't finish what she said later, Tang Jingxu can guess what those ghosts without eyes would say to Hua Qingchen, even by moving his toes, However, what they said is not the key point, the key point is why Hua Qingchen was captured by them?

You know, according to Hua Qingchen's bullying temper, if ordinary ghosts dare to make fun of him, he doesn't even bother to give them a straight look. From Hua Qingchen's point of view, those things really don't cost money, but in his eyes, these things that don't cost money can easily burn those things to ashes.What's more, he never cared about 21 when he picked up Foxfire. If he had really resisted at that time, the ghost market would have been almost burned to the ground.

But judging from the current situation where the ghost market is in order and there is no disturbance at all, Hua Qingchen took the initiative to go with them in eight out of ten cases, so it is strange, why did Hua Qingchen go with them?Doesn't this guy only like beautiful things?Tang Jingxu didn't believe that there could be someone more beautiful than himself in this ghost city full of bulls and ghosts.

After thinking about it, Tang Jingxu asked Mo Xiaoyan, "You said he changed his clothes?"

This endless question stunned Mo Xiaoyan for a moment, and the fingers that twisted the handkerchief also stopped. She turned her head and looked at Tang Jingxu blankly, as if she didn't understand what he asked.

Yin Liansheng repeated it at the right time, Mo Xiaoyan nodded, and then said with doubts: "I changed clothes, what's wrong?"

Tang Jingxu couldn't restrain himself immediately, a vein popped up on his forehead, even so, he still smiled at Mo Xiaoyan quite calmly, his face was bright, and he said loudly: "Dare to ask Miss Mo, Hua Qingchen, that coquettish fox... ahem, what clothes did that little idiot change into?"

Dazed by Tang Jingxu's smile, Mo Xiaoyan replied in a daze: "Yes...it's my clothes."

Before he could finish speaking, another blue vein appeared on Tang Jingxu's forehead, but the smile on his face seemed to deepen, the eight white and flawless teeth between his lips gleamed under the moonlight, and there was a soft sound. Smiling overflowed from between his lips and teeth, floating lightly in the noisy ghost city, the voice was extremely soft but immediately made Ying Yi, who had been three steps away from them, feel a chill in his body, and he took another step back, thinking in the bottom of his heart Hua Qingchen mourned silently.

At the same time, Hua, who was surrounded by all the ghosts, seemed to hear the coldness under the professional fake smile of his master, and turned his head subconsciously, but all he saw were bustling ghosts of various colors.

Thinking of his master probably walking around with Liansheng and Xiaosan, Hua was relieved instantly, but just as he took a step, the laughter rang in his ears again, he shivered suddenly, hesitating whether he should go back to find them obediently .

This idea just popped up, but then I thought that I didn't disobey my master's order at all, and it's nothing wrong with him to go to Yan Po on this trip, so he just went for fun, and the master will never blame him, let alone reason to punish him.

Thinking of this, Hua Qingchen completely left those people far away, and happily continued to step into the ghost city surrounded by all the ghosts.

"Luoshui Yuehua?"

Tang Jingxu crossed his arms, glanced at the patched coarse cloth clothes on Mo Xiaoyan's body, and concluded that even if such clothes were new, Hua Qingchen would never look down on them, let alone put them on himself, then What he was wearing could only be Mo Xiaoyan's "Luoshui Yuehua" that had amazed the three worlds when he came into this world.

Although Tang Jingxu has never seen this rumored wedding dress with his own eyes, he has also heard that Mo Xiaoyan has the skill of cutting the moon and cutting clouds, and in order to fulfill his wish, he poured a hundred years of hard work into making that dress Wedding dress, this dress gathers the century-old moonlight reflected on Luoshui, its value is self-evident, there is a saying in the Three Realms "Don't cut the color with a knife and sew Luoshui, the plain color will capture the moonlight". this dress.

As far as the temperament of his second apprentice is concerned, he might have coveted it for a long time. Tang Jingxu guessed that this guy must have taken aim at Mo Xiaoyan's unforgettable kindness to Tang Jingxu in the past, and he knew that Mo Xiaoyan would definitely not refuse. In a few words, he borrowed other people's treasures, and let the master's true biography be shameless, and after hearing a few good words that praised him for his beauty, he just swaggered and wore it to show off.

Sure enough, Mo Xiaoyan confirmed Tang Jingxu's conjecture, with an anxious expression on his face, he said: "I have only one piece of clothing that can barely fit the body of the playboy, but I didn't expect it to cause trouble for you all. I was negligent, I'm really sorry."

Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaoyan apologized first. Tang Jingxu raised his hand and touched his face. He couldn't help wondering if his smile was too sinister to frighten others. "What's wrong with Ms. Mo? I'm afraid I'll dirty Ms. Mo's clothes because I'm so naughty. I'll apologize to you on his behalf."

"It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing. Compared with the caressed by General Tang in the past, it's nothing to worry about, so don't worry about it." Mo Xiaoyan shook his head and said, the next moment he remembered that Hua Qingchen was still in the hands of the group of demons, the eagerness on his face immediately flashed again. Come out, "Stop talking about this, General Tang, it's important that you go and save Playboy!"

"Miss Mo, do you know where they have gone?" Yin Liansheng asked aloud, there was no trace of anxiety in his words, on the contrary, he seemed careless.

Mo Xiaoyan looked at Yin Liansheng's graceful face, and there was a polite smile in her calm eyes like ink paintings, which made her face flushed, and she couldn't help but glance at her face. Glancing at Ying Li behind the two, even the extremely ordinary appearance couldn't hide the royal aura that comes with her. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: No wonder the saying goes, "Things of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups".

"I saw that they were going in the direction of the ghost city." Mo Xiaoyan said seriously, "At this moment, they should have already entered the city."

"It's just right, let's go to the city too." As he said, Tang Jingxu paused suddenly, looked up at the moon half hidden in the clouds, made some calculations with his fingers, and then looked at Mo Xiaoyan, "On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year , when the gods and officials come to the human world, demons and ghosts dare not wander in the human world, so is there any big movement in the ghost city this year?"

Mo Xiaoyan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied, "Yes, I remember it was called 'Fourth Oiran'."

"Oiran?" Tang Jingxu half-closed his eyes, and the fingers tapping his arm gradually stopped, "Who would do this kind of activity that has no nutrition and meaning at all? Well, needless to say, it must be Jiuwan There's no doubt about that whore."

"It is indeed the deputy city lord of Jiuwan."

Tang Jingxu raised his eyebrows, pressed his neck with one hand, turned his head up and down, left and right, and said bluntly: "The selection of the oiran should be just a gimmick, probably to marry his 220th concubine, right? Also, apart from the title, He should have promised Hua Kui something, right?"

"This... When I saw them arranging the election a few days ago, I did vaguely hear that it seemed to be a hairpin called Luofen." Mo Xiaoyan said softly.

The guess was confirmed, knowing that Hua Qingchen was going for the title and head hairpin, Tang Jingxu lowered his raised eyebrows, frowned and said: "Jiuwan is doing all these things all day long, so no one will stop him." ?”

Mo Xiaoyan shook his head lightly, and said: "It seems that Lord Ghost King hasn't returned to the city yet. Vice-City Master Riyan has always been at odds with him. Although he can't stand it, he can't control it, so let him go."

Hearing this, Tang Jingxu turned his head for a moment, and said to himself: "It stands to reason that he should have returned, tsk..."

"Master."

Hearing Yin Liansheng's voice, Tang Jingxu subconsciously turned towards him, never thinking that he was also turning his head to look at him, and suddenly bumped into those eyes that he couldn't see through since he didn't know when, and saw himself from there. Seeing the tenderness that was instantly hidden in his eyes, he was stunned for a moment.

"Master." Seeing that Tang Jingxu didn't respond, Yin Liansheng frowned calmly, and called out to him softly.

Meeting Yin Liansheng's hot breath, Tang Jingxu threw his head back suddenly, and was about to fall from Yin Liansheng's shoulder to the ground, Mo Xiaoyan's eyes widened, and he was about to blurt out an exclamation, but Tang Jingxu Turning over neatly, he grabbed Yin Liansheng's clothes with one hand, and then crawled back to his shoulders like a little monkey. After sitting firmly, he still didn't forget to give Yin Liansheng a look, and said: " Talk about something and scare me."

Yin Liansheng hooked the corners of his lips, chuckled lightly, and said: "Master has lost his mind, if you don't call out, what can you say?"

Tang Jingxu snorted softly, crossed his legs and raised his chin towards him, motioning for him to continue.

"Should we find Po Yan first, or Qing Chen?"

"Jiu Wan's choice of concubine should be in the ghost castle, and Yan Po is burning a fire in the basement of the ghost castle. The destination is the same, so we should do the business first, and then go to Hua Qingchen." He said, Tang Jingxu looked at Yin Liansheng with malicious intentions on his face, "By the way, you sneaked into the ghost castle last time, and you should have figured out the way?"

Seeing Yin Liansheng nodded noncommittally, he said "haha" twice, and said: "I guess Jiuwan saw you, not to mention bringing in a new concubine, even the original 200+ concubines have to be sent away!"

After finishing speaking, he apologized to Mo Xiaoyan and promised to send the clothes back. He waved back and signaled Yingli to follow, and headed towards the ghost city.

After walking two steps, Tang Jingxu asked Yin Liansheng to stop when he saw that Yingli didn't keep up. He turned his head and saw that he was looking at one place, with a rare frown, curious, and followed his line of sight. .

I saw a young man sitting by an abandoned stall, his right leg was neatly cut off from the root of his thigh, and the bright red blood flowed all over the floor, which attracted many people who were salivating but dared not destroy the ghost king "Don't buy by force". The ghosts of the rule that "sell, let alone rob".

Recognizing that this person was the young man rescued from Mrs. Ya's mouth by several people earlier, and seeing that his face was pale, his breathing was weakening, and a small piece of broken silver the size of a little fingernail could be vaguely seen in his powerless right palm, Tang Jing Xu shook his head.

Thinking that he must have traded his own leg for the silver, and wanted to buy some food for his mother, Tang Jingxu couldn't bear it, so he ordered Yingli to stop the bleeding before leaving.

Now that he has made a choice, he should bear the consequences. This is the territory of the ghost king. Tang Jingxu has exceeded the rules by doing so, so he can only help him here.
