"Dong dong dong dong dong..."
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and survived all the hardships. The relics are not empty in color..."
"It's so noisy! Little monk, please be quiet!"
"Oh, sorry, Donor Lin."
The next day, early in the morning, before dawn, Lin Xiaolu was awakened by the sound of Wujia banging wooden fish and reciting scriptures. He sat up from the bed with an angry look and glared at Wujiao:
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
As soon as the sound of the wooden fish stopped, the little monk held the wooden mallet and looked shy, hesitating and said: "No, no more~"
Lin Xiaolu:......
He sighed helplessly, got up and put on his clothes. It seemed that he could only get up early to go for a run today. This little monk didn't know why he was crazy. He got up earlier than him. It was still dark outside the window, so he got up and chanted. Sutra, I am really diligent enough in Buddhism.
"I'm going for a run, will you go?"
"Young monk has to do morning lessons, so don't go." The young monk said with a red face. After saying that, he glanced at Lin Xiaolu sheepishly:
"Donor Lin, do we have any other rooms in this inn?"
"No, I asked the innkeeper. There are not many people in Yanmen Pass. Except for the garrison, few people come here, so there are only two rooms in the inn. What's wrong with you? Don't you want to sleep in the same room with me?"
"No, no, no, little monk, little monk, it's just, it's just..."
Seeing the little monk's hesitant look, Lin Xiaolu suddenly felt impatient. While putting on his shoes, he urged: "Young man, just say whatever you want."
The young monk held it in for a long time, and could only say with a blushing face: "The young monk just thinks it's a bit strange that Donor Lin doesn't wear clothes when he sleeps."
"What's weird about this? We're both men. What are you afraid of?"
Lin Xiaolu rolled his eyes, thinking that this little monk was good at everything, but he was timid and always had the temperament of a little girl. Jiang Ning was probably more courageous than him.
After saying that, he ignored the little monk and dragged Handsome Duck, who was still sleeping soundly, out of the room.
They couldn't set off directly in the past two days. Jiang Ning still needed to rest for two days due to his injury, so they decided to leave Yanmenguan for the desert the day after tomorrow. After eating the roasted camel last night, Lin Xiaolu told Jiang Ning what happened. No dirt.
The little monk Wu Guo, who was clean and simple in nature, was also very loyal. He directly expressed the Buddha's compassion and willingness to help, and he also swore that he was not bad at it. Then after Lin Xiaolu pulled out the Dageng bronze vessel and showed it to him, he immediately said The most important thing for becoming a monk is to have a humble heart, and you need to practice more.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaolu returned to the inn after running for an hour and found Jiang Ning and the young monk having breakfast.
"Little deer, have you finished your run?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.
"Yes, I found that the grandpa who sold me watermelons yesterday is missing."
As Lin Xiaolu spoke, he sat down and asked the shopkeeper to serve him twenty meat buns, ten Shaomai, ten eggs, and ten bowls of porridge.
"You can accompany me out for a while and sell the horse and carriage." Jiang Ning said while drinking porridge, "We need to change to camels before we enter the desert."
"Just go buy a camel, right? It's so troublesome." Lin Xiaolu said.
Jiang Ning glared at him: "What about the horse?"
"Give the horse away, I'm too lazy to bother, I'm rich anyway."
Jiang Ning couldn't help but kick him when he heard this.
"Don't you know how to save some money?"
"Girl, you don't understand the world of rich people."
The handsome duck on the side helped: "That's right, she is the Princess of the Tang Dynasty. She looks like she has never seen the world."
"You're right, Li Mingru is my boss, do you think I'm not worthy of spending money?" Lin Xiaolu looked like he needed a beating.
Wugou, who was quiet at the side, tried hard to hold back his laughter, fearing that he would be beaten if he laughed out loud.
Jiang Ning glared at the man angrily. She felt that Lin Xiaolu had become more and more arrogant after knowing how powerful Li Shangxian was. She really needed a beating.
After breakfast, the three young men and the handsome duck left the inn to replace the camels.
And their appearance attracted the attention of many people on the street.
A little Taoist priest with a little baby fat and a wicked smile everywhere he goes.
A young monk with a delicate appearance, a warm smile, and always blushing.
A little girl with an extraordinary temperament, carrying a long and narrow black cloth bag, who looks like a heroine.
And there was a duck following behind the three of them, walking like a duck, holding his head high and looking like a duck. It was really strange to see him.
Jiang Ning took the carriage and went to a horse farm to sell. He fooled the owner of the horse farm for a while, and finally sold an ingot of gold for five taels of silver, which was five taels more than the original price. This operation made Lin Xiaolu was shocked.
"Jiang Ning, you are so awesome. You are so good at doing business."
The young monk was also amazed: "Donor Jiang is so business-savvy at a young age. If you want to get rich in the future, it will be extremely easy."
Jiang Ning happily threw the money from the sale to Lin Xiaolu, and smiled at him proudly: "How is it? I still have some use for this princess, right?"
"Well, it's as useful as glutinous rice balls."
"Who is Tangyuan?"
"A resourceful young man who can also make alchemy."
"Wow~ Xiaolu, are you praising this princess for being smart? I didn't expect you to be quite discerning."
"Hehe, thank you."
The three young people chatted and laughed all the way to the place where camels were sold.
Jiang Ning bargained for the whole process, and finally bought a fat and strong camel for the price of a gold ingot and fifteen taels of silver.
In addition, because he was going to the desert, Lin Xiaolu also bought a lot of water and dry food. Then the little monk Wu Guo could use the Na Ring, but his Na Ring was in the rosary in his hand, so Lin Xiaolu bought it Water, dry food and other supplies were all put into the innocent rosary.
In the next few days, several friends stayed in the inn and played around every day. Sometimes they listened to Wu Gu talk about Buddhism, sometimes they listened to Xiao Lu talk about his experiences in robbery, and sometimes he listened to Shuai Shuai Ya talk about his time as a Zong Heng Ya. The romance in the world was quite leisurely.
After that, when Jiang Ning's injuries were almost recovered, they set off again, riding camels, passed the Yanmenguan city gate, and entered the endless desert.
…
…
On this day, the sun was high, shining in the sky, shining the entire desert into a golden color. Lin Xiaolu was riding on a tall camel, sandwiched between two soft humps, one behind the other, holding a water bag in his hand to drink Very happy.
The handsome duck rides on the camel's neck. It is small and can half lie on the camel's back, facing the hot sunshine, just like basking in the sun.
Jiang Ning and the young monk Wu Gu followed the camel.
Jiang Ning and Xiaolu took turns riding camels, each riding for an hour. Wu Guo didn't want to ride the camels because he didn't want to let the camels work hard.
"Jiang Ning and we have been in the desert for two days, how long does it take to reach the Yuan Kingdom?" Lin Xiaolu shouted boredly on the back of the camel. He felt that he was almost tanned by the sun.
"It's almost time. We can leave the desert in about three to five days."
After saying that, Jiang Ning turned to him and warned him: "The Yuan Kingdom is not a country that is attached to Emei. They are attached to Quanzhen. You have to restrain your temper when you get there."
"Will Quanzhen monk hit me?"
"That won't happen. After all, it's an orthodox sect." Jiang Ning said.
"Then if I meet them and tell them that my boss is Li Mingru, will they treat me like a father?" Lin Xiaolu continued to ask.
"This... I'm not sure..."
Lin Xiaolu felt that his purpose of going down the mountain had changed. From the beginning, he was seriously looking for martial arts, to saying to everyone he met: "My master is Li Mingru."
He thought it would be interesting to find out the awesome past of his boss.
"Little deer, one hour is up, it's time for me to ride the camel."
"Oh ok."
Lin Xiaolu turned over and jumped off the camel, then watched Jiang Ning climb up using both hands and feet.
As soon as Jiang Ning rode up, she immediately felt that the poisonous sun in the desert was really hot. It was August again, and the air around her was trembling due to the high temperature. She was still a mortal and was not as abnormal as a deer. Not as full of spiritual energy as Wu San, he could only shout to Wu San below:
"Master Wu Guan, it's so hot. Will you ask for rain?"
