Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Hanzhong County, as the gateway to Central Shu, is now also divided into two. The north is naturally in the hands of Daqin, and the south is completely in the hands of the traitor Liu Bang.

However, Hanzhong County is already filled with the secret work of the two armies, so there is really no need to test it.

On the contrary, Shu County, Liu Bang's current base camp, is full of outstanding people, and it seems that those monks from the west also gather here.

Li Jue planned to go to Shu County in person to see who the monks from the west were and what they were capable of.

The center of Shu County is naturally Chengdu, and Chengdu at this time is naturally not as prosperous as later generations, and has outstanding people, but it is still full of people and people managed by Liu Bang.

In particular, Liu Bang got the help of some gods and Buddhas, coupled with the defeat of the overlord of Western Chu and the defeat of the anti-kings from all walks of life, their defeated generals all coerced some people, and the rout soldiers came to defect.

As a result, Chengdu also received a huge population supplement for the first time, and most of the six counties in central Shu also received a large population.

In addition, in the past ten years, with the support of Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Chen Ping, Liu Bang also respected the principle of building walls and accumulating grain, and continued to build high walls, accumulate grain, and expand the population.

Not only was Jiangdong's defeat this time, it caused their population to explode. In the past 10 years, Liu Bang has also continuously promoted intermarriage among the people under his rule, raising them as pigs and giving birth.

That's why the population of Central Shu broke the historical high, and after the defeat of Jiangdong, the population of Chengdu exploded to nearly 2 million.

In this day and age, such a population is really rare.

Because of this, Chengdu has become as prosperous as Xianyang, and even because of some gods and Buddhas, the whole Chengdu looks more prosperous.

Therefore, it is unavoidable that there are more than 10 temples and temples inside and outside Chengdu, and there are quite a few pilgrims visiting these temples and temples.

Li Jue had already entered Chengdu, but at this moment, he gathered all the laws and powerful spiritual thoughts in his body, and did not let out a single bit.

He was just worried that there were some experts in Chengdu who could spy on his existence, so at this time he was like an ordinary young ranger.

After Li Jue came to Chengdu, his spiritual sense was temporarily unavailable. If he wanted to get enough news, he would naturally go to a restaurant with many rangers.

Arriving at Yulin Tavern, Li Jue was about to walk in, but was stopped by the tavern clerk.

"The visitors stop, the tavern is already full, and please transfer the distinguished guests to another place. I am really sorry, please forgive me."

Li Jue frowned, and looked towards the lobby of the tavern. There was a huge table that was still empty.

"Isn't there still a place there?"

The waiter's expression changed slightly, "That's Lord Chen Ping's seat, he will come here to drink and have fun on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and the table No. 7 is his favorite seat, every time on the first and tenth day Five will be empty for him."

Li Jue said: "If that's the case, I should go in and sit in that position."

Seeing that the waiter's eyes were full of doubts, he explained with a smile: "I am an old friend with Mr. Chen Ping you mentioned."

As he said that, he pushed aside the waiter and entered the hall directly, and sat down at table No. 7 without enough shock and weird eyes from others.

The waiter didn't dare to offend, so he hurriedly reported it to the shopkeeper.

Soon, an old man came out from the back hall, looked up and down, Li Jue cupped his hands and said, "If you dare to ask me where you come from, what is your last name, I can ask the little old man to report to Master Chen Ping."

Li Jue said indifferently: "There is no need to report, if he comes on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, he should come. I will meet him then."

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and his eyes were full of doubts, "Could it be that your step is really an old friend with Mr. Chen Ping? There are eight thousand people called Chen Ping in the world, but there is only one left-hand man in Chengdu. Prime Minister Chen Ping, do you know the Prime Minister?"

Li Jue sighed and said, "It's true that things are people and things don't matter. Unexpectedly, Chen Ping in the past has also become the Prime Minister of Zuo in Sichuan."

This is not a random sigh, but a feeling from the heart.

After all, he was the first to meet Chen Ping and recommended Chen Ping to Prince Fusu, but Prince Fusu didn't pay attention at all, which made Chen Ping feel that he was treated lightly and left Daqin.

After Chen Ping left Daqin, he first joined Xiang Yu's camp, but found that Fan Zeng was in charge on Xiang Yu's side, and he had a disagreement with Fan Zeng earlier, so he went to Liu Bang again.

After coming under Liu Bang's rule, Chen Ping felt that his talents could be displayed, so he naturally spared no effort to offer suggestions for Liu Bang.

He is not only outstanding in military affairs, but also in domestic politics.

Although he was born with mud legs, Chen Ping got the inheritance from the ancient times. It is said that he got an old Taoist scripture under an ancient bridge, and formed a shocking ability to weep ghosts and gods.

Even if it is not a fairy, it is better than a fairy.

Because of Chen Ping's various magical powers and various intrigues, Liu Bang entrusted him with important tasks, supplemented by the post of Prime Minister Zuo.

And Chen Ping would always take a day or two out of his busy schedule to have a rest at the Yulin Tavern in Chengdu, and there were often rangers here, so it would be great if he could network with one or two talents.

In fact, some rangers often take this opportunity to show that they have joined Chen Ping's family.

This will make Yulin Tavern always have a hot business, especially during the two days of the first and fifteenth day of the new year, there are often no empty seats.

But no matter how arrogant and domineering these rangers are on weekdays, they will pretend to be calm when Chen Ping appears.

It is really unique that Li Jue pretended to be an old friend and took Chen Ping's place.

The shopkeeper couldn't decide for a while whether Li Jue was Chen Ping's old friend or not, while many rangers looked up and down, and their thoughts were more erratic, always wondering how this young man who seemed to be only in his early 20s could be. To be able to meet a big man like Chen Ping.

"Amitabha, this little brother doesn't look like a local, but he looks extravagant, presumably he is a famous nobleman."

Li Jue turned his head and saw a young bald monk wearing tacky clothes. He looked like a wealthy young man, but he had his hair shaved off.

He ignored this nondescript monk, but asked the shopkeeper to serve all the wine and meat as soon as possible.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to be negligent, he didn't even know the name of this person, and he was not sure if this person was Chen Ping's old friend.

But he still has eyesight, and he can tell that this person's attitude and temperament are absolutely extraordinary, and he dare not neglect.

The rich monk was not annoyed when he saw Li Jue ignoring him, and sat down beside him.

Moreover, he also took out a bottle of Feitian Baijiu in his hand, laughed and said: "The poor monk saw that Your Excellency is the kind of person who is overbearing. Here, the poor monk has a bottle of Feitian liquor that has been preserved for many years. I would like to drink it with Your Excellency."

Only then did Li Jue cast a glance at the rich and noble monk, and said calmly: "As a monk, can you drink and eat meat? Besides, this Feitian wine comes from Qin, so people from Sichuan can drink it too?"

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the rich monk, "It seems that your Excellency is from another place, and you want to seek a piece of wealth in Sichuan?"

Seeing that Li Jue stopped talking, the rich monk continued: "I haven't introduced myself yet, so I won't say the names of the poor monks and laymen. I was ordained ordained in the Guanyin Temple three days ago, and I was given the name Jinchi by the master."

Li Jue had a strange expression on his face, he took a deep look at this rich monk, and secretly reached out his hand to make some calculations.

This Jinchi monk was actually the old monk who joined forces with the black bear spirit to steal the Tang monk's cassock during the journey to the west.

However, it is said that the elder Jinchi in Journey to the West has only lived for more than 200 years. At this time, there are at least 500 years before the real Journey to the West begins.

Reasonably speaking, it is impossible for this Elder Jinchi to live for such a long time.

The only thing worthy of praise is that Elder Jinchi has lived for a long time, but during the Journey to the West, he introduced himself to have lived for more than 200 years, which is to deceive Monkey King and Tang Seng.

But thinking about it, it is possible to be a brother with a monster like the black bear spirit, and to be able to make the black bear spirit respectfully call him a big brother. If he only lived for a mere 200 years, it would be unreasonable.

The reason why he introduced himself is that he has only lived for more than 200 years. I am afraid that he is too shocking. In fact, he lived hundreds of years older.

The monk in front of him turned out to be the famous Elder Jinchi, which aroused Li Jue's interest, because he saw some bright spots in this monk.

The seemingly ordinary and vulgar monk Jinchi actually has a gleam in his eyes from time to time, and there is a magic power in his body.

This monk is not simple.

Li Jue came to Chengdu originally to investigate the situation of the monks sent down from the Lingshan Mountain in the Western Heaven, and it is very likely that Elder Jinchi was involved.

Elder Jin Chi continued: "The poor monk has only been ordained for only three days, and the wine and meat have passed through his intestines, and the Buddha's heart is seated. This is also the teaching of the masters."

Li Jue's eyes flickered, and he frowned, "Who is your master?"

Jin Chidao: "The poor monk was taught by Master Daoji in Leshan outside Chengdu. You must not know Leshan. Now the whole Leshan has become the property of my Buddha. Liu Bang, the king of Han Dynasty, attaches great importance to Buddhist culture and intends to make the whole Leshan my Buddhist home. holy place..."

Li Jue was not at all interested in what Jin Chi said later, but was very interested in what he said about Master Daoji.
