Chapter 316: Misty Rain in the South
When he heard that he had to become a monk in order to practice the Dharma Tibet of Right Eyes, Da Tou suddenly lost interest and said, "Forget it then, leave it to them two."
"Shi Xuanming can't learn it either," he said. "He has been expelled from the Shaolin Temple and the ultimatum has been taken back. Only Yu Yi can study this Zhengyan Dharma Tibetan."
The big head nodded, "Hey, sir, you said that Shi Xuanming has been kicked out, why do you still think of yourself as a Buddhist? It would be great to return to the secular world as soon as possible, get a wife and have children."
"Everyone has his own ambitions," he shook his head and said, "The ancients said that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind, and if a person is beautiful in the crowd, it will be slandered. It is not necessarily his problem that Shi Xuanming is not tolerated by the Shaolin Temple. It may also be his words and deeds.
Being too casual has broken the rules of Shaolin Temple."
The big head nodded in agreement, "What you say makes sense, sir. This guy likes to chew on dog legs, which is indeed inappropriate. However, he is tall and handsome. If he had grown his hair, he would be a rare handsome man. It would be a pity to be a monk."
"This is the true Buddhist," he said. "Those who have choices are those who truly like them. Those who have no choice are those who are forced to do nothing."
While they were talking, they came to the foot of the mountain, mounted their horses, and hurried to Linxian County.
This time, the two of them did not gallop, but walked forward leisurely. After leaving Chang'an, the two of them managed things very smoothly and saved a lot of time. There was only one thing left for them, which was to go to the southwest border.
Find giant birds to use as mounts for Big Head.
It's not right to say that this is the only thing left, because the two of them came out this time under the guise of inspecting the administration of prefectures and counties around Xichuan, and they also made up a fake news that the beggar gang was working together to collaborate with the enemy, so they had to sneak away no matter what.
Circle, go through the motions.
The south is not only warm and rainy, it is also mountainous and tree-filled. Most of the places are mountainous, with few flat fields and few large-scale villages. Most of what you see along the way are cottages built in the mountains, with few earth-rock houses and many
For wooden houses and bamboo houses.
The two of them had brought dry food with them when they came out this time, but it was too hot and humid in the south, and all the dry food in their bags became moldy.
Fortunately, I was proficient in the art of Qihuang and knew which fruits were edible, so I picked some wild fruits along the way to quench my thirst.
Not all official roads have inns. Where the two of them are at this time
It is already very remote. It is a remote and remote area. It is neither a battleground for military strategists nor an important border town with dangerous terrain. It seems that the court will not set up a post station in such a place.
It wasn't until midnight in the afternoon that the two of them saw an inn on the side of the road. This inn was much larger than the black shop they encountered before. It had more than a dozen rooms. Outside the inn was a bunch of faded red clothes.
The lantern and the cook are not inside the inn, but are located in the thatched shed to the east of the inn.
"Sir, have you noticed that there is something wrong with this inn?" Datou looked at the inn on the north side of the road.
"Why is there no window in such a long room?" I also found something unusual.
"Yes, wouldn't it be too hot to live in there?" Datou said.
"A place has its own customs. Maybe the customs here are like this." Guess.
Seeing this and feeling hungry, Da Tou got off his horse and walked towards the old man sitting at the door of the inn.
The Tang Dynasty had a large territory and many dialects. People in many places spoke dialects and did not know Mandarin. This was the case with this old man. Da Tou couldn’t understand what he said, and he didn’t understand what Da Tou said. The two of them chatted for a while.
After some gestures, the old man finally understood that the two of them wanted to stay in a hotel for dinner.
The food at the inn is the same as that of the previous black shop, which is pancakes and broth. It is too hot here, so the food can only be stewed in a pot. If it is taken out, it will spoil within half a day.
While the old man was preparing meals for the two of them, he walked to a hidden place to relieve himself, while the big head opened the curtain and walked into the inn.
Before he could even pull up his pants, Big Head ran out shouting, "Oh my god, bad luck, bad luck."
"What's wrong?" he asked urgently.
"Zombies, sir, there are all zombies inside." Big Head spat.
When Dutou said zombies, the first thing that came to mind was the kind that bites people. But when he saw that Dutou was depressed but not afraid, he thought that there is another kind of zombie.
Corpses, there is a technique of exorcising corpses spread in the land of Xiangchuan, which is mainly used to send people who died in a foreign land back to their place of origin. The zombies Datou mentioned should be this kind.
As soon as Da Tou ran out, a thin black man followed behind him. He must be about forty years old. He was wearing a set of shabby Taoist robes. He was holding a filial stick in his hand. He pointed at Da Tou and cursed.
It was also a dialect, and neither of them could understand a word of it.
The Taoist robes of each sect in the Three Qing dynasties have their own characteristics. Outsiders may not be able to tell the Taoist sect, but a Taoist priest can tell which Taoist priest the other person is at a glance. The black and thin Taoist priest in front of him is wearing the Taoist robe of the Taiqing sect. He must be a Taoist priest from the Taiqing sect.
A Taoist from the Qing Dynasty.
Just when Da Tou was hesitating whether to retaliate or not, he quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands to the man, and apologized with a smile.
Corpse exorcism can only be done in remote Xiangchuan, and is very rare in Central China. The black and thin Taoist priest is also from this area. He does not speak Chinese fluently. As the saying goes, a vicious punch will not hit someone with a smiling face. If you see it with good etiquette, that is
I will no longer pursue Da Tou for his reckless intrusion and disturbing the deceased.
Everyone is curious, but curiosity has to pay a price. I didn't want to get into trouble, so I didn't make friends with the Taoist and explore the inside story of exorcism. I didn't eat the broth either. I just bought a few noodles and then started dating the guy.
Leave.
After staying far away from the inn, I asked Datou about the situation inside the inn. According to Datou, the zombies were all wearing white mourning clothes, standing upright against the wall, with yellow talismans on their foreheads.
Datou was also quite surprised that he didn't know much about the business of exorcising corpses. In his opinion, every Taoist priest knew these things, but he didn't know that Taoist priests were different. Each sect in the Three Qing dynasties had its own strengths.
Qian is good at Qi training, and the Hunyuan Divine Skill he practices actually comes from the Yuqing Sect.
The Taiqing sect was the most involved in the world, often dealing with the world and making a living. He was proficient in many miscellaneous subjects, including divination, fortune-telling, and funerals. Most of these miscellaneous subjects were related to people's livelihood. Most of the Taoist priests that the world saw in daily life were under the Taiqing sect.
The Shangqing Sect is somewhere between Yuqing and Taiqing. Their special skills are drawing talismans and using spells. Those Taoists with mediocre qualifications will also dabble in some miscellaneous studies in order to make a living.
The two of them did not find a place to stay that night, and there were no old houses or ruined temples in the mountains, so they had to sleep in the wild. There were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains. In order to get rid of the insects, they had to find herbs and light them up and fumigate them. It was already hot at this time.
If you are too close to the fire, you will sweat profusely. If you are too far away from the fire, you will be bitten by mosquitoes. The black man is not afraid of mosquitoes, but the sweaty horse is not good. Datou not only has to take care of himself, but also has to keep going.
Waving branches to drive away mosquitoes on the sweaty horse.
It was bad enough, but they didn't expect it to start raining again in the middle of the night. The two of them had no choice but to hide under a tree to take shelter from the rain. The night they spent was miserable and embarrassing.
Seeing that he was suffering the consequences, Datou felt very guilty and kept nagging, saying that if he hadn't been looking for a mount for himself, he wouldn't have had to suffer this fate at all.
Although he was in a lot of embarrassment, he didn't feel it was too hard, because he had experienced worse situations than this, and at that time not only did he have no spiritual energy cultivation, but he was also alone.
In the early morning, the rain subsided, and the two of them went on the road in the rain and reached Linxian County in one breath.
There are three routes from Central China to the Western Regions, and Linxian is one of them. Because there are more merchants passing by, the city is larger and the number of people is larger.
The two of them came this time for the people from Country R. These people from Country R chose to meet here, and they were undoubtedly heading for one of the Earthly Branches. The most likely reason was the Golden Rooster that they had encountered in the desert earlier.
Worried that his special figure and Shenjun's bloody horse would attract attention, Datou proposed to stay outside the city and enter the city alone.
There was no better choice, so I could only go to the city alone, buy wine, stewed meat and other food for the big head, and also grab some medicine to strengthen the body and strengthen the body. The sweat-blooded horse was born in a dry land, and the hot and humid environment made it appear in large numbers.
Sweating, physical weakness and exhaustion.
After settling in Datou, he returned to the county town. He and Datou arrived a day early, which gave him enough time to look for those R people who might have arrived here.
