Facing the enthusiastic salesman, Tang Zhen quickly said that he didn't need it, and then left quickly with the regretful eyes of the other party.
"Brother, you really shouldn't refuse. Since you have become a monk, you definitely don't need to worry about making money.
In this case, why bother yourself and live in a broken house? "
The bearded man shook his head, looking very confused.
"Besides, monsters are rampant now, life is getting more and more difficult, and it can be said that everything is precarious.
As monks, we must take the lead in fighting monsters, and we may die at some point.
Live and enjoy every day, and when you die one day, your life will be considered not in vain! "
The bearded man's tone was a little helpless, but also a little free and easy, and he was trying to persuade Tang Zhen as a person who had been through it.
Tang Zhen smiled and said nothing. He really didn't care much about enjoyment.
Instead of spending money to decorate your home, you might as well use it to improve your strength so that you can survive in troubled times.
As long as you are strong enough and live long enough, is there anything you can't enjoy?
So sometimes, you should take a longer view instead of indulging in some worldly things.
The two continued to move forward in the city, passing by the city lord's palace, and the bearded man gave Tang Zhen a brief introduction.
In fact, he doesn't know much, and most of it is hearsay. Because of his low strength, he can't get in touch with the real senior people.
Tang Zhen took a few glances and found that the city lord's mansion was heavily guarded, and all the people coming in and out were Loucheng monks.
Combining the previously obtained information, Tang Zhen was basically certain that the number of Loucheng monks in Mufeng City was at least five thousand.
It's just that most of the Loucheng monks are in the ruins, working day and night to improve their strength, and will not easily return to Mufeng City.
Once the war starts, these Loucheng monks will gather together and form a quite powerful legion.
Compared with it, Tianxu City is far behind, at least in terms of the number of monks, it cannot be compared with it.
Seeing Tang Zhen looking at the City Lord's Mansion intently, Big Beard immediately reminded him in a low voice, asking him to try not to attract the attention of the monks in Loucheng.
"Although the strength of those Loucheng monks is similar to that of you and me, if there is a real fight, ten of you and I together cannot be the opponent of Loucheng monks!
So remember my words, never go against the Loucheng monks, but be obedient and obey the arrangements unconditionally. "
The bearded man's eyes flickered. According to Tang Zhen's guess, he should have been repaired by the Loucheng monks.
So when he warned Tang Zhen, he behaved like this, with a lingering fear.
Tang Zhen nodded in agreement on the surface, but he was laughing secretly in his heart. If the bearded man knew his plan, he would be so scared that his soul would fly out.
Not only did he want to provoke the Loucheng monks, but he also wanted to kill all the leaders of Mufeng City, each of whom was a bearded person who looked up to him.
Walking and talking along the way, we unknowingly came to the edge of the city and saw Tang Zhen's house.
This is a single-family courtyard. Due to its long disrepair, the entrance of the courtyard is covered with weeds.
The door was broken into pieces, and a breeze blew by, making a "rattling" sound.
Several children were playing at the door, digging into the wall bricks. When they saw Tang Zhen and Big Beard, they immediately ran away with guilty conscience.
The bearded man laughed and cursed, then pointed at the damaged house and turned to look at Tang Zhen.
"As you have seen, this yard has been abandoned for many years. If it is not tidied up, it will be uninhabitable."
Tang Zhen was also speechless. He originally thought that the officials said that the house was dilapidated just to promote business.
Only when we arrived at the scene did we realize that the courtyard was not only dilapidated, it was simply a ruin.
Fortunately, Tang Zhen didn't care about this, otherwise a monk would probably be angry.
"It doesn't matter. I just need a place to shelter from the wind and rain. If I feel uncomfortable, it's not too late to find someone to take care of me."
Seeing Tang Zhen's open-minded and optimistic look, the bearded man shook his head and said nothing more.
The two walked around the yard and found that it was also covered with weeds and the doors and windows of the house were in tatters.
The bearded man asked Tang Zhen to wait, then he found a nearby neighbor, took out a few coins from his pocket and handed them to him.
"You clean up the weeds in this yard, and then sweep the dust in the house to get out all the dirt."
The bearded man said while gesticulating. The neighbor held the money in his hand and looked attentively listening on his face.
Then the neighbor said hello to Tang Zhen, hoping to have more contact with him in the future, and said that he also had a monk in his family, and he would definitely pay him a visit when he returned home.
After arranging for someone to clean the yard, the bearded man dragged Tang Zhen and invited him to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Although monsters are rampant now, people still have to live their lives, and all restaurants in the city are open as usual.
As for the sources of their ingredients, some come from vegetable gardens in the city, while others are collected from outside the city, and have not been affected much.
But compared to before the monster appeared, the business in the tavern was still much deserted. There were only two or three tables of customers in the huge shop.
After the big beard asked Tang Zhen to sit down, he called the service staff here and specially ordered a large portion of charcoal-grilled monster meat.
At the same time, I ordered a pot of old wine and a few plates of side dishes to go with the wine. They looked very familiar.
From the conversation, one can tell that the bearded man is a frequent visitor to this tavern, and he also orders the signature dishes.
Tang Zhen didn't say much, letting the bearded man do what he wanted, and still pretended to be a young man who had never seen the big world.
After the food and wine were served, Big Beard poured a glass of wine for Tang Zhen, and then poured a glass for himself.
"Brother, if there is anything you can't handle in the future, just come to me.
In this Mufeng City, my brother is still a bit thin-faced, but wherever I can help, I will never refuse at all. "
With a heroic look, the bearded man picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then stared at Tang Zhen silently.
Tang Zhen smiled, also picked up the wine glass in front of him, and poured the wine into his mouth.
"good!"
The bearded man smiled happily, poured another glass of wine for Tang Zhen, and then invited him to taste the wine and food.
Tang Zhen had already seen that the bearded man must be asking for something, but if the other party didn't tell him, he would never ask.
The bearded man was quite able to keep his composure, and kept talking about all kinds of gossip about Mufeng City.
Tang Zhen secretly laughed. The bearded man was obviously still the same as before, thinking that talking about the powerful people in the city would prove his extraordinary ability.
Not long after, the charcoal-grilled monster meat was served, exuding an alluring aroma.
This is a red charcoal stove, burning a tray-shaped stone slab. Long strips of monster meat were placed on the stone slab, sliced thinly by a knife, and made a sizzling sound when fried in grease.
The meat is evenly fat and thin, the meat is fragrant, and it is sprinkled with red and green condiments. Just one look at it will arouse your appetite.
"Come on, come on, try it quickly, you will never taste this dish anywhere else!"
Big Beard picked up a piece of fried monster meat and put it on Tang Zhen's plate, signaling him to take a bite while it was still hot.
Tang Zhen tasted it with a smile and found that the taste was indeed good, but it was not extremely delicious.
It's just that he has eaten too many good things, and his mouth has become extremely picky. The bearded food feels like the best food, but in Tang Zhen's opinion, it is just okay.
