After leaving Nan Jiyun, Li Kuo called Zhang Yanji, Zhou Wuwei and other friends to discuss the next plan. To Li Kuo's surprise, Zhang Yanji and Zhou Zhou not only refused to respond to the large influx of Tibetan Buddhist monks into Chang'an.
Instead of questioning, he joked that he was too suspicious, and everything was under control. But Zhou Wuwei, a little fat man, after hearing that Li Kuo became a hermit, the fat on his cheeks trembled and turned from pink to purple.
"You, have you really become a hermit?" The little fat man rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.
"It's true!" Li Kuotian smiled and waved his hand.
Zhou Wuwei twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a strange tone: "Hey, not bad. He became a hermit of the Tang Dynasty at the age of sixteen, and his future is bright."
Li Kuo knew that Zhou Wuxin was feeling sour and shrugged: "No matter how promising I am, I am still not recommended by you, the Great Genius Zhou? Besides, geniuses and mortals cannot always be measured by the same standard."
Zhou Wuwei saw that Li Kuo had taken the initiative to pave the way for him, so he didn't want to be too pretentious. He waved his hand magnanimously: "That's all. Who told me to owe you a kid in my previous life? You are now a member of the Suzaku Regiment of the Shence Army.
The captain of the school, my immediate superior. I, the Great Genius Zhou, have to think about myself even if I don’t think about others!”
"You!" Li Kuo glanced at the little fat man and stopped arguing.
According to the clues Nan Jiyun gave him, a large number of Tibetan Buddhist monks poured into Chang'an this time. Basically, they lived in Anren and Kaihua Erfang. Since the Jianfu Temple (Note 1) in Anrenfang gathered many eminent monks to pray for efficacious fortunes, they came to worship Buddha every day.
There is an endless stream of followers. No matter whether you are seeking fame or profit, hoping for children or grandchildren, as long as you have Buddha in your heart and worship the gods devoutly, you will be sure that all your wishes will come true and everything will go your way.
It was almost noon when the three of them arrived at Jianfu Temple, but the number of pilgrims who came to ask for fortunes did not decrease at all. They lined up from the main hall to the south gate. Li Kuo did not believe in Buddhism, but he did not reject it. In his view, a kind of thing
There is a reason for its existence, and we don’t need to deliberately deny or belittle it. Except for a pot of good wine and a few dishes, Li Kuo didn’t eat anything all morning. After discussing it with his friends, the three of them finally
Entering a tavern that looked dilapidated from the outside.
As soon as he entered the store, Zhang Yanji covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves: "Brother Kuo'er, what is this? It stinks!"
Li Kuo frowned. He also smelled a strange smell. At first he thought it was coming from outside the house, but now it seems that it was definitely born in the store.
"How does this store do business? How dare this customer come in?" Zhang Yanji was unreasonable and shouted loudly.
Zhou Wuwei shook his head and glanced at Zhang Yanji contemptuously: "Mortal, mortal. Haven't you noticed that there is a tavern next to this huge Jianfu Temple? Without opponents, he can't run it however he wants.
"
Zhang Yanji was still unwilling to give up and muttered in a low voice: "They say big shopkeepers bully customers. I see, small shopkeepers can also bully a lot of customers, as long as they are ruthless enough!"
Perhaps the believers who went to worship Buddha have not returned yet, so the store was a little deserted at this time. The three of them randomly found a table by the window and sat down, then asked the waiter to serve the food. The waiter in this store was an orchid.
, has a pair of sapphire-like eyes, blinking at you from time to time, making people's bones melt softly. When Hu Ji heard the three people's greetings, she hurriedly twisted her waist, like a spirit god, she lifted out of a pair of pincers.
Pull out your hand.
"Hey, what a monster!" Zhang Yanji stared closely at Hu Ji's waist and sighed.
"Dear guests, what would you like to order? We have the best bear paws, deer antlers, and Buddha jumping over the wall. Paired with the exclusive secret chrysanthemum wine, it is the ultimate bliss in the world." Hu Ji moved her body towards Zhang Yanji.
, a breath of turbid breath blew on the young man's neck.
Zhang Yanji jumped up subconsciously and took a few steps back.
"Giggle." Hu Ji covered her lips and smiled, and joked: "This young man is quite shy. If he were in our hometown at this age, he would probably be married."
Li Kuo waved his hand to Hu Ji and said, "I won't bother your shop with the food and wine. Please bring us two kilograms of mutton in sauce and two pots of chrysanthemum wine."
"Oh." The light in Hu Ji's eyes dimmed instantly. She was about to turn around and place an order when she heard a loud shout.
"Wait! Give us another plate of 'Shambhala'!" Li Kuo nodded lightly and motioned to Hu Ji.
Hu Ji's already ashen complexion gradually turned red, and she smiled softly: "This young man has really good eyesight. Our family's 'Shambhala' is the best made in Quan Chang'an. This is our family's
Shop sign!"
Perhaps because he was gradually getting used to the smell in the store, Zhang Yanji gradually loosened his mouth and nose and took a deep breath. "This store is really strange. They use an orchid as a waiter, and they are so coquettish that they are not afraid of being eaten!"
"I'm afraid she is so happy." Zhou Wuwei half-squinted his eyes and turned to the right.
At this time, there were only three tables of drinkers in the small shop. Sitting in the west corner of the shop was a swordsman dressed as a knight-errant. Black clothes, black sword, black eyes and black hair. In Zhou Wuwei's opinion, this man was very strange, and he obviously had
While he was sitting next to the window, he went to a dark corner to drink wine. The swordsman didn't seem to care about anything, he just kept fiddling with a small enamel stove and simmering a pot of sake.
Diagonally opposite the three young men, there were four or five Tibetan Buddhist monks sitting around. These people were all wearing red robes and black cassocks, and were bare-chested. A pair of thick earlobes covered both sides of the jawbone, and their wide foreheads and faces made people feel uncomfortable.
They were half charitable. They kept chatting in Tubo about something, but no one knew the content. The leader, a Buddhist monk, saw Zhou Wuxin looking in his direction and glared, stopping the young man from continuing to explore.
"It's so strange!" Zhou Wuwei fiddled with his bald chin, confusion written all over his face. "Normally, the Tubo Buddhist monks should be debating Buddhism in the Buddhist temple at this time, but why do they have free time to drink free wine?"
"Here it comes, here it comes! The fragrant and spicy 'Xiangpa Spicy' is here!" The Hu Ji twisted her waist and trotted to deliver the food to the young people.
"This, is this 'Shambhala'?" Li Kuo asked in disbelief with his eyes widened.
"Yes, it's fragrant, crispy, spicy and burnt! Young Master, let me tell you the truth. If you want to eat the authentic 'Spicy Spicy' in Chang'an City, come here and we will stay here
!”
It turns out that this mysterious specialty dish is the famous hairy crab. Just a moment ago, the domineering giant crab was showing its teeth and claws, and now its hands and feet have been bound, and it has become a meal for many young people.
Zhang Yanji shrugged: "Not bad, not bad. I was wanting to eat these hairy crabs a few days ago, so I'd better follow Brother Kuo'er to get some meat!" The young man broke off a crab leg and took a small bite, which was delicious.
enjoying the delicious crab legs.
"Mortal, mortal!" Zhou Wuwei straightened his clothes, washed his hands with water, and then slowly opened the crab shell, took out the crab roe, and tasted it carefully.
However, Li Kuo was not in a hurry to eat, and muttered quietly: "Luoshu appeared in the world, the Central Plains calamity. The Buddha broke his fast, the two capitals fell. Five buckets of rice entered Shambhala..." As if he suddenly understood the meaning, Li Kuo took a picture.
Fang Zuo said: "I understand, this Luoshu must be a medium for people to contact each other. And this Buddha must be a Tubo Buddhist monk. I wonder if there are any monks in the world who abstain from eating meat? As for these five buckets of rice, what should I do?
Is it a secret organization they infiltrated?"
The boy's abnormal reaction attracted the attention of the Tibetan Buddhist monks across the table. They seemed to understand Tang's words and stood up one after another to rush towards the boys. At this moment, the black-clothed monk who had been sitting silently in the corner
However, the ranger took action. With just one click, a cold blade was unsheathed, and the dazzling cold light shone on all the Buddhist monks, making all the Tubos feel dizzy.
"People are from Chang'an, and dogs are Tubo dogs. Although I, Yan Chengxu, am not talented, I also know the rules in Chang'an City that Tubo people and dogs are not allowed to enter. Could it be that you don't know Chinese characters and broke in by mistake?" Although Yan Chengxu,
He didn't draw his sword, but he exuded a powerful murderous aura that made people shudder.
Those Tubo monks had never been so humiliated before, and they were about to attack Yan Chengxu. "Wait a minute!" The leader, the black monk, slowly opened his narrowed eyes and stopped him with a clear Tang dialect.
The recklessness of his men.
The leader of the black cassock has not said a word since he entered the tavern. He is sitting on the seat like a Buddha statue. The most impressive thing is the long red pink scar on his cheek, which is constantly squirming like a living animal.
This time he looked at the swordsman in front of him carefully. For a long time, his stone-like mouth trembled and he smiled strangely: "Luo Xiucheng Wujie, make friends with Yan Shaoxia." After saying this, Yan Chengxu didn't wait for his reaction.
, then waved his hands and took the lead to leave the tavern. Although the Buddhist monks were unwilling, they seemed to be very obedient to the orders of the black cassock leader, and finally gritted their teeth and walked away.
"Thank you, Brother Yan!" Li Kuo bowed his hand to Yan Chengxu. Although he was not afraid of trouble, he didn't want to cause trouble for nothing. They were secretly investigating Luo Shu, so they shouldn't make it too public.
"You don't need to thank me. I'm only helping you because you are a Tang Dynasty with upright roots. Under the bright and prosperous world of the Tang Dynasty, there is no room for a foreign barbarian to be so presumptuous." Yan Chengxu frowned, but reminded him.
: "As for their sudden departure, it's not because they are afraid of me. They must have a secret mission and don't want to make it public. The wolf is not well-raised. Once this beast sets its sights on you, it will fight to the death. If you don't want to be bitten by it,
One bite will break the wolf's teeth and break the wolf's legs!"
After saying that, he actually picked up the sword, stepped on the package, and walked away.
"Brother Yan, where are you from? Where can I find you?" Zhang Yanji asked loudly.
"People are from the Tang Dynasty, and swords are from the Tang Dynasty. Where there is injustice, I will be there, and where there are disputes, there will be swords. You should take care of yourself. Remember, you are Tang people, with the noblest blood flowing in the world. You must not
Note 1: Jianfu Temple: According to the records of Chengfang in Liangjing in the Tang Dynasty, Jianfu Temple was built in Anrenfang and was very popular.
