Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Although there have been novels in the Tang Dynasty, most of them are biographies praising talented scholars and beauties, and no one has ever weaved gods and monsters into stories.

No one could think of telling the story vividly.

"Journey to the West" is easy to understand, not lacking in interest, but it is all-encompassing, and people of all levels of knowledge can listen to it with gusto.

People couldn't help laughing when they heard that monkeys occupied Huaguo Mountain and nicknamed it "King of Thousand Years".

"Tomorrow, I'll go find a mountain, and I'll be able to call myself Chitose!"

"In that case, don't you become a monkey?"

"Hahaha"

When the storyteller mentioned that the monkey wandered for eight or nine years just to find the way to immortality, he couldn't help being fascinated.

"Is there really an immortal person in the world?"

"Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, Slanting Moon and Three Star Cave? I don't know if there is such a fairyland."

"If I could live forever, I would rather be a monkey"

Before I knew it, an hour passed.

After drinking pot after pot of tea, many people even got full stomachs, just to finish listening to the story.

Snapped!

The storyteller brought up the gavel again, slapped it heavily, and said: "Since then, the Monkey King has been named Sun Wukong. , and listen to the next chapter to break it down."

After finishing speaking, he got up and clapped his hands around, stepped off the stage and left.

This time, the guests are gone.

"Don't go, the story is half told, it makes people's hearts itch!"

"Have monkeys ever learned the art of immortality?"

"My master rewards you with silver, finish the story quickly!"

The storyteller didn't care what they were doing, and went straight to the backstage.

A young guy climbed up the table, waving his arms back and forth, and said loudly: "Guest officers, please be patient! Our shop will tell stories every day. If you want to hear the follow-up, please come early tomorrow!"

wow——

There was an uproar below.

Although very unhappy, but there is no way.

The shop is run by someone else, and the storyteller is also someone's buddy. When to continue talking, doesn't it depend on the mood of the owner of the restaurant?

"Isn't it just three pennies? Master, I will come every day from now on. I have to listen to the story and drink enough tea!"

"Brother Huang is right. This story is really captivating. If you don't finish listening to it, you may not be able to sleep well at night. Besides, there is such a good tea to drink!"

"When you two come tomorrow, you must call me, brother!"

There are teas and stories, and many people feel that the money spent for the three rounds is well worth it, and they make an appointment to come back tomorrow.

Of course, there were some people who were reluctant, sat on their seats and muttered for a long time, took out all the tea leaves angrily, put them in their mouths, chewed the last bit of taste, and then reluctantly got up and left.

On the fifth floor, in the private tea room.

After listening to the story, Fang Xuanling and the others remained silent for a long time.

"Goku, Goku"

Xiao Yu repeated these two words over and over again.

"There is a saying in the Buddha's words, all things are illusory, unreal, and changeable, that is Wukong! After going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, regardless of the danger of life and death, he also asked for the fate of immortality, and finally got Wukong's life. There is great wisdom in this story!"

The ancestors of the Xiao family passed on from the Back Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, and their ancestors believed in Buddhism for generations, and Xiao Yu was naturally a devout follower of Buddhism.

Yu Shinan, who never liked to speak, couldn't help sighing: "This hozen disrespects the world, and only believes in himself. Maybe he can cultivate the art of immortality, but he will definitely suffer great hardships in the future."

From Monkey King, they seemed to see their own shadow.

When they were young, they rebelled with Li Er, and their steps were treacherous. If they were not careful, they would end up dead. How similar to this monkey?

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in silence.

After a long time, Fang Xuanling suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Why is Prime Minister Fang laughing?" Xiao Yu asked.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said, "This old man is laughing at himself! I think that this old man, as the chief minister of the court, almost broke his heart because of a illusory story!"

Everyone was stunned and laughed.

"It's also because the story is so fascinating that the old man wants to see if there is such a person as Patriarch Bodhi in the world!"

"Although the story is good, you have to listen to it later. The tea is almost cold, so please don't waste it!"

Sipping tea, smelling the sandalwood, and listening to the story, it was afternoon before I knew it.

If it weren't for the few snacks, Fang Xuanling and the others would have been starving.

However, this trip was really not in vain.

Before leaving, I was a little bit reluctant.

"It just so happens that I'm taking a rest, the old man plans to come here every day, what do you guys think?"

Fang Xuanling said to everyone while going downstairs.

Everyone nodded.

When he reached the first floor, Chai Lingwu had already been waiting here.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward, wanting to praise Chai Lingwu a few words.

Before he could speak, Chai Lingwu took the lead and said, "Gentlemen, did you enjoy yourself?"

"That's right, the old man hasn't been as happy as he is today for many years, that tea room must be reserved for the old man!"

Chai Lingwu grinned and said, "Don't worry, as long as you come, you can go to the private tea room on the fifth floor anytime!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that the bill had not yet been settled

"Chenghui, fifty guan!"

Fang Xuanling had just taken out a piece of silver pancake, equivalent to ten guan ren, when he heard this, he was stunned.

"Isn't it Shiguan?"

Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded.

Chai Lingwu laughed and said: "Shiguan is a private room on the third and fourth floors. The private tea room you enjoy is not at this price."

He snapped his fingers and said: "Look, a piece of sandalwood costs six guan, a special person serves ten guan, and I haven't counted the fee for the use of the private tea room, but for your sake, the money will be waived." , a total of fifty sticks!"

Fang Xuanling's old face was flushed red.

Although fifty guan is a bit expensive, it has not yet reached the point where Fang Xuanling's heart aches.

just

"Old man this, this"

He really wanted to say that he didn't bring enough money, but he couldn't say it out of face.

But think about it, a piece of silver pancake weighs a catty, who would take five catties of silver pancakes for a walk all over the street?

Chai Lingwu secretly pointed to the jade pendant on Fang Xuanling's waist.

The meaning is obvious, he is asked to put the jade pendant here, and change it tomorrow when he brings enough silver.

Chapter 55: My lords, let's forget about business

Coming out of Liuyexuan, Fang Xuanling jumped into the carriage.

so embarrassing

Tangtang was No.1 in the dynasty, but because he didn't bring enough money, he had to mortgage his ancestral jade pendant.

Du Ruhui and the others also had embarrassing expressions, but they were shouting in their hearts that they were lucky. If Fang Xuanling hadn't rushed to treat the guests, one of them would have been ashamed.

The carriage drove all the way out of Jingyang County, but no one had the nerve to speak.

"broken!"

Dai Zhou who was sitting next to the car suddenly slapped his thigh and screamed, he hastily opened the curtain and said, "My lords, let's forget about business!"

business?

What business?

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback for a moment, but immediately felt as if they had forgotten something.

It's just that I can't remember it for a while.

Fang Xuanling, who had been keeping his head down in silence, raised his head at this moment, and said quietly, "Aren't we here to visit Liu Bai?"

Only then did everyone remember that they followed Dai Zhou to thank Liu Bai!

Several people looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.

Du Ruhui coughed a few times and said, "This Xuanyin, how about doing it again tomorrow?"

Dai Zhou glanced at him resentfully, he could only laugh a few times, and said, "That's fine, that's fine."

Now it's time to apply, and when we arrive at Liujiazhuangzi, I'm afraid it will be dark.

Who visits people at night?

Dai Zhou had no choice but to tell the groom to go back home.

Early next morning!

With dark circles under his eyes, Dai Zhou ordered the groom to prepare the carriage and planned to go to Jingyang again.

He didn't sleep well last night.

He is such a person, he has to do things immediately, once he delays, not only can't sleep well, but also can't concentrate when doing other things.

It's just that he just left the house when he found five old guys chatting at the door of his house.

"Xuanyin, let's go!"

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he directly got into Dai Zhou's carriage.

Several other old guys also followed with smiles on their faces.

Dai Zhou was very moved, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lords!"

When he went to Liu's house to collect evidence, the quarrel was a bit tense, but now he would feel embarrassed if he went to thank Liu Bai. If there were Fang Xuanling and the others, they would make peace, at least the atmosphere would be better.

But an hour and a half later, when the carriage entered Jingyang County and arrived at the gate of Liu Yexuan.

Dai Zhou is completely stupid

"Xuanyin, slow down on the way, don't forget to pick up the old man and others in the afternoon!"

Fang Xuanling said to Dai Zhou with a smile.

Then, five old guys walked into Liu Yexuan talking and laughing, leaving Dai Zhou alone, messing in the wind

It turned out that they didn't want to go to Liu's house at all, they just took their own ride and came to Liu Yexuan to listen to books and drink tea.

It's fine if you don't go to Liujiazhuangzi with yourself, but you still come to pick them up in the afternoon?

Seeing several people walk into Liu Yexuan, Dai Zhou's teeth itch with hatred.

"Let's go to the Liu Family Village!"

Dai Zhou stamped his feet, turned his head and got into the carriage.

Liu family mansion!

Dai Zhou sat in the hall, waiting for Liu Bai to come.

Sitting on the same chair, Dai Zhou felt a dull pain in his heart again.

Ten days ago, he was sitting on this chair and promised Liu Bai to give him "The Picture of Outing in Spring".
