The Monk

Chapter 234 Yongan is uneasy

The man was a soldier with poor moral character. Hearing what Zhang Wen said, he knew that he was not a local, so he thought of making a payment: "Okay, but Yong'an County's silver exchange is more expensive. One tael of silver can be exchanged for forty copper coins, two hundred Just give me five taels of silver." He thought that he wouldn't be allowed to enter the city if he didn't give me the money. If you find out you've been cheated when you get the money, you won't admit it.

Zhang was afraid that he knew there was something wrong with this guy, but he was too lazy to worry about five taels of silver. It would be too cynical to argue with him for such a small amount of money, so he took out a piece of silver and threw it to him and led people into the city.

The soldier did not expect to get the money so easily. He checked the silver bars and found that they were real. There was some activity in his mind. This man threw five taels of silver as casually as he threw a stone. There were many beautiful women around him. Big fish, definitely a big fish! The soldier defined Zhang Afraid in his mind, and then thought about how to extract more money from the big fish. He yelled at Zhang Ai’s back: “Hey.”

Zhang was afraid to turn around in response, but said nothing. The soldier trotted up to Zhang Wen and said with a smile on his face: "This uncle is coming to our Yong'an bar for the first time. Do you want to find a guide to take care of it so that he can have fun?"

Zhang Awei smiled slightly: "I live here." After saying that, he ignored the soldier and walked along the street. The remaining soldier is full of questions, does he live here? I went to ask the soldiers in the same team, and everyone said that they had never seen Zhang Ai and these people. How could they live here?

In total, it has been more than sixty years since I left Yong'an County, but the city has not changed much, the layout has not changed, the streets have not changed, only the houses and people have changed. I walked into the market along the way. It was much bigger and more crowded than before.

Zhang Ai pointed at the market and introduced to everyone what it was like before and what it is now. Zhang Tianfang just said: "It's no different from other places." Zhang Ai was too lazy to pay attention to this rebellious child who would never grow up and went to the food stall to buy things. He remembered that he had bought bamboo tube cakes for a penny each before, but he looked around and didn't find any for sale. When he asked the vendor in front of him, the man looked at him with wide eyes and replied after a long time: "There is nothing for sale now."

Zhang Ai was a little disappointed, and then he thought of the ancestral hall built for him by the people in the city. He wanted to go and see if there had been any changes. Is the merit vat still there? Is there anyone still helping the poor people?

They entered the city from the west gate, and the ancestral hall was built five miles outside the south gate. Thinking of the good deeds he had done, Zhang Ain was a little proud: "Let's go, let's take you to see the temple built for me." Song Yunyi also wanted to know the current situation of the ancestral hall. At that time, the two of them in white clothes, Sheng Xue, were as kind and loving as immortals. , rescued countless patients, and said: "They should still be there."

"Of course we are. The ancestral hall is a dead thing. It cannot die or run away." Zhang Ai led the way.

Of course the ancestral hall is still there, but it is in a dilapidated state. The most exaggerated thing is that there are many graves on the hill behind the ancestral hall. It is difficult for Zhang Ain not to be surprised. He stood at the door of the ancestral hall and looked carefully. The stone incense burner was gone, the wooden couplets were gone, and there were only some broken tiles left on the roof of the ancestral hall. And the huge merit vat that he had placed the most high hopes on was broken into pieces. To the west, there is only the bottom of the tank in front of you.

It had only been sixty years, and the degree of decline was unimaginable. Zhang Ping said nonchalantly: "I remember that the merit vat was full of money. So a big vat of money can't save this ancestral hall?" Song Yunyi knew that he was disappointed, so he persuaded softly: "One day Jiazi is too long, and naturally no one will take care of the ancestral hall after someone dies. "

Zhang Wen was right after thinking about it, and sighed and said: "No wonder cultivators have to give up their worldly thoughts. It is very annoying to live for too long." Then he remembered that he still had a home, and his interest rose again: "Let's go home."

Everyone walked back to Yong'an County. Unexpectedly, they were charged an extra fee for entering the city. Zhang Tianfang shouted: "We just went out." The soldier looked at him with crooked eyes: "You have finished breakfast and won't have dinner?"

Zhang Tianfang was furious, I don't even look down on the Nascent Soul cultivator, how dare you, an ordinary person, ask for anything from me? He raised his hand to grab the soldier, but was stopped by Zhang Awei. Without asking how much the door strip cost, he threw out a piece of silver and dragged Zhang Tianfang into the city gate. Zhang Tianfang was not angry and said angrily: "Can you bear this?"

The soldiers over there were also angry: "You think you dare to show your teeth to me because you are tall and strong? You don't want to ask who I am." After touching the silver, I found that I had almost seven taels, and I secretly wanted to make a small fortune. .

Zhang Awei pulled Zhang Tianfang while he was doing it and educated him: "After all, he is a high-level alchemy cultivator, so it's nothing compared to an ordinary person." Although the girls felt a little aggrieved, Zhang Awei obeyed and pouted. Following behind, only Fu Kong nodded as he walked: "Not bad, not bad." Zhang Tianfang was furious and said angrily: "That's right, your head! Get away from me." Fu Kong was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Convert. My Buddha, you can never see me again in your life.”

Zhang Aiping turned east and west on the street, and after a short walk he came to a broad street. There were several houses on the street, and high courtyard walls separated the beautiful scenery horizontally and vertically. Zhang Ao pointed to the middle house and said, "That's our home." After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. Why did the courtyard wall become so much higher? Looking carefully, there is a large horizontal plaque on the courtyard gate with two large characters, Wangfu.

Zhang Tianfang asked him: "Your last name was Wang?"

Now Zhang is a little angry. If the ancestral hall is gone, will it be gone? Even my house has been taken over? He took one step to the door and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Song Yunyi followed behind, and wanted to say that it was good, and someone was cleaning up the door. After discovering the horizontal plaque, he saw Zhang Wen was angry again, and knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed him, grabbed his arm and whispered: "Ask for details before talking."

At this time, the courtyard door opened, and two strong young men came out. They raised their eyebrows and stared: "You want to die? What are you going to hit?"

Zhang Pa was angry at first, but after hearing what the two said, his anger disappeared and he asked with a smile: "Can you tell me whose house this is?"

"Are you blind? There are words on it! Does the palace know about it? How dare you come and knock on the door of the prince's house?" One of the men cursed.

Zhang Pa still smiled and said: "Do you have the house deed?"

"Fang your ancestors! Are you looking for trouble? Come out, men, someone is looking for trouble." The man shouted loudly.

As he spoke, the courtyard door opened completely, and more than a dozen strong men ran out, all with angry eyes and frowns, shouting: "Who is it? Who wants to die? Let's help him!" After they squeezed out of the door and saw the maids, they said in a very ugly way: "There are so many young girls, all of them are pretty. Sister, where are you from? I will go to propose marriage tomorrow." Someone said: "Why propose marriage? Hurry up and have the wedding night first." "That's right, it's better to have the wedding night today than to choose a day. "

These strong men saw that there were only four men on the other side, including a monk, and they didn't take it seriously, and kept making fun of them.

The maids had experienced all kinds of dangers and seen many terrifying scenes, such as rivers of blood, and they had also seen big storms, but they had never been teased in public like this. At that time, a maid was furious and wanted to teach these people a lesson, but was stopped by Cheng Xier. She cleared her throat and swept her beautiful eyes over the maids to signal everyone to be quiet. Although the maids didn't know the reason, they still withstood their anger and retreated to the back.
