Red Tang

After saying goodbye to Nan Jiyun, Li Kuo called Zhang Yanji, Zhou Wuzui and other friends to discuss the next plan.Contrary to Li Kuo's expectation, instead of questioning the large influx of Tibetan Buddhist monks into Chang'an, Zhang and Zhou Zhou made fun of him for being too suspicious.But Zhou Wuzui, the little fat man, after hearing that Li Kuo had become a hermit, the fat on his cheeks trembled, turning from pink to purple.

"You, you really became a hermit?" The little fat man rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.

"If it's fake!" Li Kuotian smiled and waved his hand.

The corners of Zhou Wuzui's mouth twitched, and finally suppressed the grievance in his heart, Yin Yang said strangely: "Yo, not bad. At the age of 16, I became a hermit in Tang Dynasty, and the future is boundless."

Li Kuo knew that Zhou Wuzui was feeling sour, so he shrugged his shoulders: "No matter how promising I am, I was not recommended by you Zhou Dagenius? Besides, geniuses and mortals cannot be measured by the same standard."

Seeing that Li Kuo took the initiative to pave the steps for himself, Zhou Wuzui waved his hand "magnanimously" and said, "Forget it, why did I owe you kid in my previous life. You are now the Red Bird Regiment of the Shence Army." The captain, my immediate boss. I Zhou Dageng has to think about myself if I don't think about others!"

"You!" Li Kuo glanced at the little fat man lightly, and stopped arguing.

According to the clues given to him by Nan Jiyun, a large number of Tibetan Buddhist monks flooded into Chang'an this time, and most of them lived in the two squares of Anren and Kaihua.Since the Jianfu Temple (Note 1) in Anrenfang gathers eminent monks and prays for blessings, there is an endless stream of devotees who come to worship Buddha every day.It doesn't matter whether you are looking for fame or profit, looking forward to children or grandchildren, as long as you have a Buddha in your heart and worship the gods devoutly, you are guaranteed that everything you want will come true and everything will go smoothly.

It was almost noon when the three of them arrived at Jianfu Temple, but the number of pilgrims who came to ask for lottery did not decrease at all, and 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, there is a reason for a thing to exist, and we don't need to deliberately deny and belittle it.Except for a pot of good wine and a few small dishes, Li Kuo didn't eat anything all morning.After discussing with their friends, the three of them finally entered a dilapidated tavern from the outside.

As soon as he entered the store, Zhang Yanji covered his mouth and nose with his cuff: "Brother Kuoer, what is this question, 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 undoubtedly born in the shop.

"How does this store do business? Does this customer dare to come in!" Zhang Yanji yelled loudly.

Zhou Wuzui shook his head, and glanced at Zhang Yanji contemptuously: "Mortal, mortal. Haven't you noticed that there is only a tavern around this huge Jianfu Temple? Without rivals, he can manage it as he wants? "

Zhang Yanji was still unwilling, and muttered in a low voice: "It is said that the big shop bullies customers, I see, the small shop can also bully a lot of money, as long as the heart is hard enough!"

Perhaps the customers who went to pray to Buddha have not yet returned, so the store is a little deserted at this time.The three randomly found a table by the window to sit down, and then called Xiao Er to serve the food.The waiter in this shop is an orchid, with a pair of sapphire-like eyes, blinking at you from time to time, it will melt your muscles and bones.When the orchid heard the greeting from the three people, she quickly twisted her waist and pulled it out from the pair of pincers like a spirit.

"Hiss, what a monster!" Zhang Yanji stared at Hu Ji's waist and said with emotion.

"Guests, what would you like to order? Our store has the best bear paws, velvet antlers, and Buddha jumping over the wall; paired with the exclusive and secret chrysanthemum wine, it is a blissful enjoyment in the world." Hu Ji moved her body towards Zhang Yanji , breathed out on the boy's neck.

Zhang Yanji subconsciously jumped up and took a few steps back.

"Hehe." Hu Ji covered her lips and smiled, jokingly said: "This young man is quite shy. If he was in our hometown at this age, he would probably be married."

Li Kuo waved his hand at the orchid and said, "I won't bother you with the food and drinks. Bring us two catties of sauced mutton and two pots of chrysanthemum wine."

"Oh." The brilliance in Hu Ji's eyes dimmed instantly, and she was about to turn around to place an order when she heard a loud cry.

"Wait! Serve us another plate of 'Shambhala'!" Li Kuo nodded lightly and motioned to Orchid.

That orchid's already ashes-like complexion gradually turned red, and she smiled softly: "This young man has really good eyesight. Our family's 'Shambhala' is the best in Chang'an. This is ours. The signboard of the house!"

Perhaps because he gradually got used to the smell in the store, Zhang Yanji gradually loosened his mouth and nose, panting for breath. "This shop is really strange. It uses an orchid as a mistress, and it's so coquettish, so I'm not afraid of being eaten!"

"I'm afraid she is so happy." Zhou Wuzui half-closed his eyes and flicked to the right.

At this time, there were only three tables of drinkers in the small shop, and sitting in the west corner of the shop was a swordsman dressed as a knight-errant.Black clothes and black sword, black eyes and black hair.From Zhou Wuzui's point of view, this person is so weird, he obviously has a place by the window to warm people up, yet he runs to a dark corner to have a drink.The swordsman didn't seem to care about anything, he just kept fiddling with a small enamel stove and simmered a pot of sake.

Diagonally opposite the three young men, there were four or five Tubo Buddhist monks sitting around.These people were all dressed in red robes and black cassocks, with bare chests and bare chests.A pair of thick earlobes cover the jawbones on both sides, and the wide forehead and wide face make people feel less charitable.They kept talking about something in Tubo language, but no one knew the content.Seeing Zhou Wuzui looking in his direction, the first Buddhist monk stared and stopped the young man from continuing to explore.

"It's so strange!" Zhou Wuzui fiddled with his bald chin, his face full of doubts. "It is reasonable to say that Buddhist monks in Tubo should be debating the Dharma in Jianfo Temple at this time, why do they have time to drink?"

"Come on, come on! The fragrant and spicy 'Xiang Grilled Spicy' is coming!" The orchid twisted her waist and trotted to deliver the food to the sides of the young people.

"This, is this 'Shambhala'?" Li Kuo asked incredulously, his eyes widening.

"Yeah, it's fragrant and crispy, spicy and burnt! My lord, I'll tell you the truth. If you want to eat authentic 'Spicy Grilled Spicy' in Chang'an City, run away and we will live idle! "

It turns out that this mysterious township dish is the famous hairy crab. A moment ago, it was showing its teeth and claws. Now, the domineering crab has been bound hands and feet and turned into a meal for many teenagers.

Zhang Yanji shrugged his shoulders: "Not bad, not bad. I just wanted to eat this hairy crab a few days ago, so I'd like to have some meat with Brother Kuo'er!" The young man broke off a crab leg and took a small bite, enjoying Enjoy the delicious crab leg meat.

"Mortal, mortal!" Zhou Wuzui straightened his clothes, washed his hands with clean water, then slowly pried open the crab shell, took out the crab roe, and began to savor it carefully.

However, Li Kuo was not in a hurry to eat, and whispered silently: "Luoshu is present and the Central Plains is calamity. The Buddha breaks his fast, and the two capitals fall. Five buckets of rice go into Shambhala..." As if he suddenly understood the meaning of it, Li Kuo snapped Fang Zhuo said: "I understand. This Luoshu must be a medium for contacting those who are interested. And this Buddha statue must be a Buddhist monk in Tubo. May I ask where in the world are monks who practice meat? As for the five buckets of rice, it should be 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 Yan, and they stood up one after another and rushed towards the boys.At this moment, the ranger in black who had been sitting silently in the corner made a move.With just a light buckle, a cold front came out of the sheath in response, and the dazzling cold light shone on all the Buddhists and monks, making the Tibetans dizzy for a while.

"People are from Chang'an, dogs are Tubo dogs. Although I, Jerry Yan, am not talented, I also know the rules that Tibetans and dogs are not allowed to enter Chang'an City. Could it be that you don't know Chinese characters and broke in by mistake?" The sword was not drawn, but a powerful murderous aura emanated, which made people shudder.

Those Tubo monks had never been insulted like this before, and they wanted to strike at Yan Chengxu with their heads. "Wait!" The head of the black cassock Buddhist monk slowly opened his squinted eyes, and stopped his subordinates' recklessness with correct Tang Yan.

The leader of the black cassock hadn't said a word since he entered the tavern, and he sat on the seat like a Buddha statue.The most impressive thing was the long pink scar on his cheek, which squirmed from time to time like a living thing.This time, he carefully looked at the swordsman in front of him. After a long time, his stone-like mouth trembled, and he smiled strangely: "Laughing in the city, make friends with Yan Shaoxia." Without waiting for Yan Chengxu's reaction after finishing speaking, Then he waved his hand and took the lead to leave the tavern.Although the Buddhist monks were unwilling, they seemed to obey the orders of the leader of the black cassock, and they finally gritted their teeth and walked away.

"Thank you, Brother Yan!" Li Kuo cupped his hands at Yan Chengxu.Although he wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to cause trouble for nothing.They are secretly investigating Luo Shu's matter, so it's not appropriate to make it too public.

"You don't have to thank me. I'll help you only because you are a native of the Tang Dynasty. Under the great Tang Dynasty, there is no room for a barbarian of a foreign race to be so presumptuous." Frowning, Jerry Yan still reminded : "As for their sudden departure, it's not because they were afraid of me. They must have a secret mission and they don't want to say anything. Wolves are not familiar with raising them. Once this beast targets you, it will fight to the death. If you want to avoid being bitten by it One bite will break the wolf's teeth and break the wolf's legs!"

After speaking, he lifted 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 the sword is the sword from the Tang Dynasty. Where there is injustice, there is me, and where there is dispute, there is a sword. You can do it for yourself. Remember, you are Tang people, and you have the most noble blood in the world. You must not Bow your head to a beast!"
