Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

About two more days passed.

Finally, the time has come for the ministers and celebrities to pay their respects to Ying Zheng.

Suzhou Guild Hall.

Li Jue and Yu Ji came together, while Guiguzi was at home and did not come here. After all, his identity was too sensitive, and he was afraid that someone in the court would recognize him.

At this time, the guild hall can be described as full of voices and crowds.

There were so many people who came to worship, almost all the celebrities and nobles from the entire Kuaiji County came!

Even if the head of the family couldn't come in person, they still sent representatives with names and surnames from the clan.

However, most people thought that this was a treasure offering meeting, and they didn't notice any danger.

Only when Li Jue walked through the crowd did he realize how dangerous it was.

The entire guild hall with a radius of three miles was requisitioned by the Black Armored Army, and the nearby houses were all ambushed by the Black Armored Army.

All the people walking on the street were passers-by pretending to be the Black Armored Army.

It can be said that Suzhou is full of chills.

Concubine Yu followed behind Li Jue, wondering: "Master, why do I feel that there are people on the street and in many places, their aura is completely different from that of ordinary people."

Li Jue said: "Don't inquire about social affairs."

Yu Ji muttered, but she was obedient and didn't continue to inquire.

And Li Jue's eyes were scanning, he was always looking for someone.

But Yu Ji didn't know who to look for.

soon.

Li Jue didn't continue to search, but found a place to sit down, ate and drank slowly, and waited for these people to present gifts.

At that time, he will be able to know whether the person he is looking for has come or not.

"Da Shangzao, I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you made a fortune, congratulations!"

At this time, Zhao Gao appeared, and beside him was Hu Hai, and behind him was a group of people, all of whom were ministers of the current dynasty.

And the person who spoke just now was Zhao Gao.

Li Jue was gnawing on a bear's paw, when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Hong Fu, I earned 15,000 taels of silver with tears in my eyes, which will allow me to buy thousands of acres of land outside Xianyang City!"

Zhao Gao chuckled and said: "I really want to congratulate you, but I heard that you sold the coral, but His Majesty already knew about it, if he knew that you got the treasure and didn't give it to him, he would take it instead I don’t know if His Majesty will be angry if it’s sold!?”

As expected, Yu Ji beside her was still a little worried. These days, she had been worrying about this matter all the time.

On the other hand, Li Jue's expression was flat, he didn't take it seriously, instead he smiled and said, "Since Mr. Zhao is so worried about me, why don't you lend me some treasures for the emperor?"

Zhao Gao laughed loudly and said, "You are so rich, you can use it to buy treasures!"

"Unfortunately, I bought the coral you sold. Hehe, let me give it to His Majesty the Emperor then!"

Li Jue said with a smile: "Your Excellency is right, anyway, they are all given to His Majesty, it doesn't matter whoever gives them!"

Zhao Gao felt angry when he saw Li Jue's reluctance and unmoved attitude.

He just came here to annoy Li Jue on purpose, but he didn't expect Li Jue to be so calm, so he was naturally upset.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the two of them have already torn their faces.

It's a life-and-death relationship between each other. This time he got the coral, and he will give it to the emperor, and then he will return to his status.

And Li Jue will also be questioned for not dedicating it to the emperor because he got the treasure.

One ebb and the other, Zhao Gao felt that it would be just around the corner to completely trample Li Jue under his feet!

Then he walked away arrogantly.

Hu Hai followed, completely forgetting that he was the master, and he seemed like a follower.

Just when Li Jue was going to continue drinking and eating, Fu Su came happily, and behind him was a person wearing a bamboo hat, very mysterious.

Fu Su excitedly said: "Da Shangzao, don't eat, I will introduce you to a person, this person is very strange, and he knows how to change people, and he can call the wind and rain, but the governor of Kuaiji intends to introduce him to the father." Yes, let me meet in advance!"

Li Jue was taken aback, and glanced at this person. Although he was wearing a bamboo hat, Li Jue could still see him clearly.

However, seeing this person, Li Jue's body trembled, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

This person has no hair and is actually bald.

And the sky is full, the earlobes are fat, and the face under the bamboo hat has a calm and calm smile.

Li Jue blurted out: "Monk!?"

The man in the bamboo hat also trembled, a little surprised and unbelievable, he lifted his mask, revealing a thick bearded face.

He was a middle-aged man with a bald head, but he didn't take off his bamboo hat, so he didn't attract everyone's attention.

This person looked Li Jue up and down, and seemed very surprised, why did Li Jue recognize his identity at a glance.

And Fusu was also surprised, said: "Da Shangzao, you have good eyesight, wearing a bamboo hat, you can tell that he is a monk!?"

"Besides, where did you know the word monk? It was only when I talked with this person just now that I realized that he is called a monk in their country!"

Li Jue got up and asked the middle-aged bald man to take off his hat.

Fu Su said: "No, his appearance and bald head will frighten everyone, and if you have to meet the emperor, pick it up directly, and you will lose your sense of mystery."

Li Jue glanced at Fusu, and said, "Are you going to let such an ambiguous person cover up to meet the emperor?"

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, thinking it made sense.

Then he said: "If that's the case, then you should take off the bamboo hat."

The bald head obviously didn't want to take off the hat, but Li Jue said expressionlessly: "Since you refuse to take off the hat, then you will be treated as a thief. Give you three calls, or I will call someone to take you down!"

The monk had no choice but to take off his bamboo hat.

And his shiny bald head immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, after all, in this era, parents respect the body, hair and skin.

Shaving his head directly, even if the prisoner stabbed his face and cut his nose, he was not so humiliated.

Everyone was in an uproar, and then pointed at this person.

And this person is not only bald, but also has a somewhat unexpected face, the roof is full, and the earlobes are almost hanging down to the shoulders!

Not only that, this person's temples are high and protruding, and his forehead is also protruding, which is somewhat similar to Guiguzi.

It's just that this person looks like a warrior, with a strong body, tall and strong, and a strong back.

And Guiguzi looked very weak, like an old man who was dying.

If there is any similarity between this person and Guiguzi, it is probably a pair of eyes, the vicissitudes contained in them are so similar!

Fusu hurriedly explained to everyone that this person is a monk from Tianzhu, he is a capable person, and he will change the living!

Everyone is not too rare and strange, after all, there have been monsters in Xianyang City several times, so it is even more strange!

It's just that they still couldn't accept that this person had shaved his head.

Li Jue was much calmer, but he didn't understand that monks only appeared in China after the Tang Dynasty!

Although he knew that during the Han Dynasty, monks had already come here, but it was still in the Tang Dynasty that they shined brightly.

And now this time is still the Great Qin Era.

But it was just such a random thought, and he didn't have too much doubt. After all, there are heavens, so there must be the Western Paradise.

That being the case, it is not surprising that monks appear here.

It's just that Huaxia is still controlled by various schools of thought, especially Taoism, Legalism, and Confucianism.

As for the monk not appearing at this time.

But the appearance of Monkey King, and the occurrence of the Buddhist scriptures from the West, are the Buddhists trying to break the current situation that China is controlled by Taoism.

The appearance of this monk in front of him made Li Jue a little vigilant.

People in the world say Taoist priests in troubled times and monks in prosperous times.

Li Jue doesn't hate monks, there is a reason for their existence, but now the world is peaceful, and monks who don't have much effect on the world, don't come out to make troubles!

He sat down again, and asked Fusu and the great monk to sit down.

The monk got wine, and cut a large piece of meat for him, saying: "Monk, drink and eat meat."

The monk froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "The poor monk doesn't eat meat or drink alcohol."

Seemingly worried that Li Jue might misunderstand, he explained: "This is the clear rule of my Buddhist sect, please respect it, Lord Xiang."

Li Jue smiled and said, "I don't enter temples, and I don't worship Buddhas, so don't call me Xiangzhu!"

He said again: "And I give you wine and meat, it is a charity to you, so you should teach me to be a charity!"

The great monk was stunned for a moment, then smiled, clasped his hands together, and said: "Since the benefactor has said so, then everything will follow what the benefactor said."

Fusu fell silent beside him, he knew Li Jue very well, and he could see that Li Jue seemed to be full of guard against this great monk.

But he chose to believe in Li Jue, and was full of doubts about the origin, identity, and purpose of the Great Monk.

Li Jue eats meat when drinking, and said: "Come here, prepare some vegetarian dishes for master, that is, without meat, and prepare some vegetarian wine, alas, master, these wines are all vegetarian wines, they are all made from grains Yes, it’s not a violation of the precepts!”

The monk clasped his hands together, still refusing to drink, but after serving some rice and vegetarian food, he ate to his heart's content.

Seeing this, Li Jue smiled slightly, and said, "Dare to ask where the master came from, where he went, and his name!?"

The monk put down his chopsticks and said, "The poor monk came from Tianzhu, and he wanted to go to Xianyang to pay homage to the Holy Lord of the Eastern Kingdom."

"Passing by here, I heard that the Holy Master actually settled down here and received sentient beings to pay homage, so I ask the magistrate for a recommendation!"

He got up, bowed to Li Jue, and said, "As for the identity of the poor monk, the layman's name has long been forgotten, but among the Buddhist sects, the elders bestowed him with the title of Dharma."

Dharma! ?

Li Jue's cheeks twitched, he didn't expect to meet Patriarch Bodhidharma here! !

Looking carefully, he found that this person was indeed very similar in appearance to Bodhidharma, and he had never seen himself before, so he should not hide his identity.

After Bodhidharma finished speaking, seeing the change in Li Jue's expression, he said in astonishment, "Dare to ask the benefactor, what's wrong!?"

Li Jue said: "It's not wrong, I just feel that the master is probably a figure of a generation of masters in Tianzhu. I'm afraid he came here not just to see our emperor!?"

Bodhidharma saluted with palms together, and said sincerely, "What the almsgiver said is right. The poor monk wanted to ask the Holy Master for a piece of land. He didn't build a temple for us and allowed us to spread and teach Buddhism in the eastern land!"

boom!

Li Jue jumped up against the crime.

He said coldly: "Impossible!"
