April.

The city is full of catkins.

A man came in white clothes and a bamboo hat.The six-hole straw shoes under the feet, stepping on the bluestone ground outside the Drum Tower of Chang'an City, the pale pink peach blossoms caught in the gaps of the straw shoes, it is very gratifying.

... It is vaguely still the cherry blossoms from Kyoto in the distant memory of the old days.

The monk in white raised his head, raised the edge of the bamboo hat with his left hand, and the black snake wrapped around his ring finger moved.

The black snake raised its head and spit out a forked snake letter.

The monk in white smiled and said, "Comrade Dalang, you have to be more careful. If the people here see that you are a living thing, they might stop us from entering Chang'an City."

Hei Snake turned his head when he heard the words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his golden pupils appeared somewhat transparent under the sunlight.

It slowly moved its head close to the monk's pale pink fingernails, kissed it, and its eyes were full of tenderness.

"Come on, don't look at me like that! Young master, I am a monk now. Amitabha!" Su Shisan stood up with one hand, smiling in the sun, revealing two rows of snow-white glutinous rice teeth.

Oh no, he is not called Su Shisan anymore, he is now a lone monk who came from Japan to the east, and his Dharma name is Lingran.

Lingran took out the road guide and official certificate that he had prepared long ago from his bosom, on which were densely written in Japanese characters and blunt Chinese characters learned from the Tang Dynasty, his date of birth, the purpose of this trip, and the people he needed to rely on. But it is a less famous Dong'an Temple in Chang'an City.

In Dong'an Temple, there was an old monk who once had a relationship with the master of his body.

To tell the truth, Lingran (Su Shisan) is also quite surprised by his current identity. When he and Dalang traveled through time and space, he vaguely saw five-color auspicious clouds and countless stars bursting behind them.As the night fell, the stars fell in the flowing fire and shattered into star dust.

Countless star dust floats in the static time and space, and you can put it in your arms with your hand.

Farther away, countless planets are constantly circulating, like countless fireflies dancing in the darkness.

He was dizzy and didn't have time to appreciate it, so he rushed into this world.

However, this world is also called Datang, which is very similar to the Zhenguan Year of Datang that he knew in his previous life.It's a pity that he was not a hard-working liberal arts student in his previous life, and his understanding of history was not detailed enough, so he was not sure whether this world could match the prosperous Tang Dynasty recorded in history books.

There was a long queue at the side door of the eastern suburbs under the Drum Tower, Lingran withdrew his thoughts, pressed down his bamboo hat, and covered his handsome eyes.

Dressed in white, he stands out from the crowd.From time to time, someone cast a curious look at him, but there was no malice in this look.Lingran also took it lightly.

The line moves forward from time to time.After about a stick of incense, finally there were only five people left in front of Lingran.He counted, and fortunately, he should be able to enter the city before noon.

After eating the cold steamed buns these days, he was really hungry.

It's not as good as the world of cultivating immortals in the previous life, he thought to himself.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion inside the city gate outside the city gate, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, more than a dozen riders rushed out of the city gate, and the crowd shouted, "Run away! There are monsters eating people!"

The people who lined up were smashed into the shape of distorted sons.The woman fell to the ground holding the child, and the child fell to the ground, crying loudly.

The one in front of Lingran happened to be a Hu businessman with a sultry face and a tall and mighty figure. Seeing this, he widened his eyes like copper bells and cursed angrily in substandard Tang dialect, "Grandma, are these still officers and soldiers? They escaped faster than the common people!"

But this person regarded himself as a commoner of the Tang Dynasty, presumably he had obtained an official residence permit.Lingran secretly slandered, and followed the panicked gazes of the crowd, only to see that the leader was a Mr. Wu Fu who was about thirty years old.

Captain Wufu leaned his upper body on the horse's back, almost flat against the horse's back, and shouted, "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly! Don't let the monster out!"

The people in the city let out a lot of wailing, and took advantage of the officers and soldiers' fleeing posture, and fled out one after another.However, the soldiers on the tower had already put down the city gate, and the heavy door fell from the sky with a click. From time to time, some people in the city tried to climb out from under the door that was about to close.

Lingran told the crowd to rush aside and stood beside a tea shop outside the Drum Tower.

It is said to be a tea shop, but it is extremely simple.I think it's because there are foreign merchants and monks in the Drum Tower all the year round. The weather is getting hotter and not everyone has a water bag in their hands, so a very simple tea stand was built with a pergola here.

There was only a square table next to the tea stand, one leg was not flat, the fire chopsticks were still there, and the tea maker was standing up with a panicked expression.

There were seven or eight people sitting at the square table, but because of the sudden incident, everyone stood up.Only Lingran saw that the bench was vacant, and immediately walked over unceremoniously, flicked his robe, and sat down.

He has been lazy for two lifetimes and has long since given up treatment.The philosophy of life I have always believed in is, never stand when you can sit, and never sit when you can lie down.

He leisurely brought up the hot tea that had just boiled, poured a large bowl for himself, blew the powder over the tea soup, and casually lowered the bamboo hat a bit.

The black snake on the ring finger raised its head vigilantly, and slightly narrowed its pale golden eyes to check the surroundings.

The sling has long since fallen, and the city gates are closed.There was a huge bang bang bang sound from inside the city gate, as if a huge monster was stomping its feet, and every step could cause the earth to tremble.

Lingran frowned, and subconsciously glanced at the black snake on her ring finger.Hei Snake turned his head abruptly, and exchanged a glance with Lingran.

What is actually heavier than our Dalang?Ling Ran pondered.

Are you afraid, baby?Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am here.The black snake's eyes were piercing, and a snake-like smile appeared on its lips.

The wailing in the city became more and more horrific, and accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling, an orange-yellow demon mist filled the sky above the city tower.

Lingran couldn't sit still anymore, thinking, after all, he is also a good person, or a good monk.If there were monsters eating people, and the officers and soldiers ran away, how would the people in the city save themselves?

He looked at the black snake and asked a question.

Black Snake froze for a moment, then understood after a while and nodded.

So Lingran put down the tea bowl, licked her lips, put down her bamboo hat and walked back to where she came from.He walked against the crowd alone, surrounded by people, horses, and mules that were constantly running.

All the people helped the old and the young, screamed and ran away, and ran to the outside of the city gate.He was dressed in white and walked towards the closed city gate.

On the city tower, the guards have also abandoned their soldiers and armor.

On the other hand, Captain Wu, who had apparently escaped far away, actually came back again, pulling out the flag on the tower at the moment.Seeing Lingran walking below, dressed in dazzling white clothes, he quickly shouted: "Hey! We can't stay in the city anymore, everyone is fleeing, what are you doing here?"

"Come to save you!" Lingran smiled in blunt Tang dialect.

The author has something to say:

?Su Shisan is now Lingran, Da Lang is still Da Lang.Datang is empty, without textual research, and the details are as real as possible.Excuse me if you can't... the author is illiterate.Hahahahaha
