Perhaps he understood the meaning of having friends come from far away, so Xia Chedan warmly invited Chen Luo and others to the village for a chat. Chen Luo originally wanted to go east, so it would be best if he didn't take a detour, so he accepted Xia Chedan's invitation.
After walking another four or five miles, we saw a market. There was no towering city wall, but huge snail shells, shells, and corals that looked like houses were scattered in an orderly manner. You could hear the shouts inside from a distance. Voice.
Outside those "houses", there were rows of stalls with a dazzling array of goods on them. As I got closer, I could feel the bustle of people. Among them were not only human caravans, but also the figures of the Southern Xinjiang Monster Clan. .
Chen Luo glanced at the shops selling snail shells and shells. They all had grand names like "Mingli Hall", "Renyi Fang", "Chongli Ju" and so on. But when he looked at the products inside, it seemed that It makes people laugh and cry.
For example, "Boai Tang" actually sells mirrors. This mirror is different from the mirrors made by the human race with colored glaze. Instead, it uses a special kind of pearl powder from the sea as the base. If a woman looks at it, the appearance in the mirror will be stunning. .
Chen Luo suddenly had the feeling of seeing a beautiful face.
"Mr. Xi, why is this shop named 'Boai Tang'?" Chen Luo said casually, but unexpectedly Xi Chedan became happy: "You have good eyesight, Mingli Tang was named after my father."
"My father believed that everyone has a love for beauty. Whether you hold this mirror to reflect on others or yourself, you can have the power of universal love."
Speaking of this, Xia Che sighed lightly: "In fact, my father has been worried about this matter for a long time. It really troubles his brain whether to take Boai Hall or Puxin Hall."
Chen Luo looked at Xia Tie calmly: Fortunately, you chose the former, otherwise the giant fist falling from the sky might destroy your village.
"Are you interested? I know that they have the latest full-body mirror that can be adjusted to the length of the body. The most important thing is that the appearance in the mirror can be saved and directly introduced into the jade slip to send to others. !" Xia Che didn't pay attention to Chen Luo's expression, and introduced enthusiastically, "Mention your name, and the owner will definitely give you a 92% discount!"
"If you have a way, you must take it first and give it first. This is the way of business."
"No, no!" Chen Luo waved his hands quickly. He couldn't stand Xia Chedan's random words and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xia, do you have a teacher here to teach?"
Chen Luo wanted to know what kind of master it was that taught them such a mess. Maybe he had to report it to Wenchang Pavilion.
"Master? What kind of master do you want?" Xia Chedan looked confused, "Everyone of us has learned from home and passed it down by word of mouth, so why do we need a master?"
"Occasionally, some Confucian masters say they want to open schools, but they can't argue with us when they debate the scriptures. So why do we want them to open schools?"
Chen Luo was stunned and could probably imagine the scene of the debate.
What does it mean for a scholar to meet a soldier, what does it mean for a chicken to talk to a duck, and what does it mean to play the piano to an ox.
To be honest, you are truly a gentleman if you don’t take action!
"However, those human poems are quite good, and we are still convinced by them!" Xia Chedan praised him naturally, "I sat up in shock when I was dying of illness, and a branch of red apricot came out of the wall!"
"A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold. You must know how to do it!"
"There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and there are three people facing each other."
"These are all timeless quotes!"
Chen Luo felt a murderous aura coming from the carriage behind him, and said quickly: "I won't disturb you when I go for a walk by myself."
Xia Chedan also heard the meaning of Chen Luo's words. Originally, he came to apologize because his subordinates made mistakes, but when he saw that the other party was actually accompanied by a great sage, he said a few more words. As the saying goes, Isn't it strange that there are so many people? At this time, the other party wanted to move freely, so he was not polite at the moment, but maybe he felt that Chen Luoren was wrong, so he gave one more instruction: "We, the water demon, have our own understanding of Confucianism and Taoism. If the young gentleman wants to go eastward, Never argue with them."
"If you can, think of a poem yourself, it will make the water demon take a look, and the road will be much smoother."
"I am not a talented person. It was because I composed a poem about Da Ao and won the favor of senior Hai Zhong Ao that I was able to take charge of this village."
Chen Luo suddenly became curious, raised his hands and said, "I wonder if you are lucky enough to hear a good sentence?"
Xia Chedan's face suddenly became clearer: "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. Listen carefully -"
"What a big turtle, the fairy mountain wears a black robe!"
"You can see a big tree from a distance, but it's just a hair!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Che looked at Chen Luo proudly, as if waiting for praise.
"Eclectic! What a poem!" Chen Luo quickly gave a thumbs up.
A Pipi shrimp can rhyme, what more can you ask for?
What hairy crabs do you want?
Xia Chedan nodded with satisfaction at Chen Luo's compliments: "You can't achieve what I have achieved, but it's enough to have a look in front of you. After all, my poem has spread throughout the eight hundred miles of water, and the demons praise it. .”
Chen Luo shook his head: "I don't have that kind of poetic talent. What do you think of the sentence 'If life is just like the first time we met, what's the point of painting a fan in the autumn wind'?"
Just as a joke, Chen Luo casually said a poem that had been lingering in his mind for a long time but could not be used due to allusions. In fact, it was just a small prank. Unexpectedly, Xia Che heard it indifferently, frowned and said, He muttered words, as if he was pondering the words, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, his fists were clenched tightly, and his originally straight back was bent like a shrimp, and his whole body was red, as if he was cooked.
After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, took a few steps closer, and grabbed Chen Luo's wrist: "Where's the bottom? What's the content of the poem below?"
Chen Luo shook his head: "Down there? There's no more down there?"
"How could this be so!" That Pipixia was about to get angry when he suddenly remembered that this poem was precious and could not be recited casually to strangers, so he quickly suppressed his breath and said hastily: "Just two more sentences, just two sentences, and I'm done. This episode Whatever you like in the city, you can take it as you like! I’m treating you!"
Seeing Xi Chedan's eager attitude, Chen Luo thought for a while and realized that there was nothing he couldn't say in the last two sentences, so he coughed lightly: "It's easy to change the heart of an old friend, but it's easy to change the heart of an old friend... Do you think you can ?"
Xia Chedan frowned once, and his little eyes flickered, obviously thinking about something, and then... he turned into his true form as Pippi Xia, standing on the spot, motionless.
Jin Guagua looked confused and asked Xiang Lingling: "Master Mastiff, what's wrong with him?"
Mastiff Lingling smiled: "When I first heard Tiancheng's beautiful words, I was overjoyed. It must have overwhelmed my heart."
Chen Luo was also helpless and called out: "Mr. Shrimp!"
Xia Chedan came back to his senses, his eyes changed from dull to clear, and he showed an expectant look: "I heard it, the poetic meaning of this poem has not been finished yet, what about next? You... and... another sentence!"
Chen Luo shook his head: "This time there is really no more!"
With a respectful expression on his face, Xia Chedan even bowed to his disciples and said, "Just one sentence, just one more sentence. I have never heard of this poem before, so I am scratching my head and heart!"
Chen Luo said seriously: "You are also a person in this way. You must understand that although there are only a few lines in the poem, countless feelings bloomed in a moment, and they were like a flickering firework in the endless night. How can you do it if you accidentally get a good hand? Please beg!”
The truth must be explained clearly. After all, the next two sentences are: Lishan language is half past midnight, and the tears, rain, and bells will not complain until the end. How unlucky is the man in brocade to wish for the same day with wings and branches.
These two sentences have allusions to Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Yuhuan in his previous life, but it is impossible to tell the truth.
Xia Che heard this indifferently and knew that his request was a bit too much. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I am being reckless!"
"If you have the next two sentences, remember to tell me."
At this time, Jin Guagua said: "Quack! (Xiazi, you said you were treating me!)"
Xia Chedan nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course, we must treat you. Not only do we have to treat you, but I also have to accompany you personally." As he said that, Xia Chedan suddenly shouted, "All merchants, listen up, press the bottom of the box Take out all the treasures for the distinguished guests to see. I, old shrimp, cannot do without your benefits!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole market echoed with demonic roars. Immediately, Chen Luo felt that the whole market was shaken. He saw in front of his eyes that the water monsters skillfully spread a cloth on the stalls in front of them. Roll, all the goods disappeared, and then they turned the spread again and unfolded it again, and there were more goods on it.
At the same time, the doors of those shops were slammed shut, the light inside the shops shone brightly, and then the doors disappeared.
However, if you look carefully...
ヽ(#`Д′)? It’s still the same batch of goods!
It’s not like you’re switching from shot to gun as you imagined, you just start a new stall!
Chen Luo was about to be polite to Xia Che, when suddenly the Tripitaka Sutra in the sea of souls trembled.
"Huh?" Chen Luo was stunned and looked at a shop in the long street. Something seemed to cause the Tripitaka Sutra to move.
Chen Luo raised his legs and walked towards the shop. Xia Chedan quickly followed. Mastiff Lingling heard Yun Siyao's message and followed closely.
The shop was not far away from them, and Chen Luo's quick feet quickly arrived at the door of the shop.
This is a shop made of coral stone. There are two swords hanging at the door. It is obviously a weapon seller. Chen Luo walked into the shop and was greeted by an old man, but his upper body was a human body and his lower body was the tentacles of a squid.
Squid monster!
The squid shopkeeper twisted forward, bowed to Chen Luo and Xia Che, and said, "Your Majesty, just take a look."
Xia Chedan said quickly: "Old You, listen up: if life is just like the first time we met, what's the point of Autumn Wind Sad Painting Fan!"
The squid shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and the tentacles under his body straightened instantly. His whole body seemed to have grown a foot taller, and his eyes widened: "Wonderful, Mr. Shrimp, a few more words!"
"How can you ask for something if you get it by chance?" Xiache smiled lightly and said, "This is a poem by the gentleman next to me. You can't deceive others!"
The squid shopkeeper immediately nodded, "Don't dare, don't dare!", then looked at Chen Luo: "Sir, if you have any needs, I can help you introduce them."
Chen Luo nodded lightly, followed the inspiration of the Tripitaka Sutra, and pointed to a long stick hanging on the wall: "I want to see that!"
"Your Majesty, you have good eyesight!" A tentacle immediately stretched out from under Shopkeeper Squid, rolled up the long stick, and brought it to Chen Luo: "This is a stick heirloomed by my family. It is made of meteorites from outer space. It is enough to... …”
Halfway through his words, Xiache coughed dryly: "Old You, tell the truth!"
The squid shopkeeper was stunned and said with an embarrassed smile: "Oh, I'm used to it." Then he said to Chen Luo: "Family, I picked up this stick in the sea, but it is indeed invulnerable to water and fire, and all laws are indestructible. Next I wanted to smelt it, but there was nothing I could do.”
Chen Luo stroked the long stick. The material of the long stick was neither gold nor iron, but more like polished rocks. Chen Luo noticed that a cut of the stick was not naturally round. Upon closer inspection, it was somewhat jagged, like It was as if it had been broken by external force.
Chen Luo shook the long stick gently, and suddenly the faint ringing of a bell came to his mind.
"Tin staff?" Chen Luo suddenly had an idea in his mind. This long staff looked like the tin staff held by monks, except that the top part of the staff was broken.
"I want this long stick!" Chen Luo said. Since Sanzang's true feelings are sensitive to it, it is right to take it down. After saying that, Chen Luo looked at Squid Shopkeeper again: "Shopkeeper, may I ask where you found this long stick?"
Shopkeeper Squid had a troubled look on his face, but Xia Che said calmly: "It's easy to change an old friend's heart, but it's easy to change an old friend's heart."
When the squid shopkeeper heard this, the remaining tentacles stiffened again. After thinking for a moment, he sighed: "What a poem, what a poem..."
After sighing, the squid shopkeeper looked at Chen Luo and said, "To be honest with my family, I picked up this stick at Abbot Island."
"Speaking of which, there is another strange thing!"
Chen Luo cheered up: "I would like to hear the details."
"We were going to Fangzhang Island to deliver some goods, but the waves suddenly surged and washed away the car below."
"There are undercurrents in the sea, or there are big shots fighting. This is also a common thing. If you pretend to be unlucky, you should turn around and leave to do things. But unfortunately, what you encounter below is different."
Speaking of this, the Squid Shopkeeper took a moment, paused, and then continued: "In my mind, the voice that has been there ever since I made it suddenly became louder."
"I vaguely heard a sound like Bodhi Moko. You know, for thousands of years, no one can hear the exact sound from the buzzing in the head."
"Later on, I actually temporarily lost the power to control the water, but that's it. I floated along the current to an unknown place. But when I opened my eyes, do you know what I saw?"
Chen Luo quickly asked: "What did you see?"
"I saw a mountain below!" Squid Shopkeeper said softly, "A mountain that is obviously very big but looks very small. That mountain is so golden that it must be full of treasures!"
"What happened next?" Xia Chedan was also fascinated and asked quickly.
"Later...then I woke up!" said the Squid Shopkeeper, and then added, "But when I woke up, I raised my leg and stepped on this stick."
"I clearly remember that it didn't happen before."
"Do you think it's strange?"
Xia Chedan frowned slightly: "Lao You, I told you not to make up stories to deceive..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Luo interrupted Xia Chedan, looked at the squid shopkeeper and asked, "I would like to ask, when did this happen?"
The Squid Shopkeeper looked at Xia Chedan and said, "I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe me! You see, this guest officer believes in me."
As he said that, he turned to Chen Luo: "Everything I say is true. This is what happened two days ago, probably at the end of the day. But when I wake up, it will be the end of the day."
Chen Luo was shocked: that time.
At that time, he happened to condense the Buddhist book - Tripitaka Sutra!
