Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 114
"We are also passing by here, old man, please do your own thing." He Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, and it's best to live in peace.

Seeing that the person who came was not a strongman, the guards didn't say anything, and continued to watch or sleep.

After the old man came in, he found a corner and sat down.

He Yuan didn't dare to sleep too deeply, and paid attention to the old man's movements from time to time.

The old man had been walking outside for an unknown amount of time, and his body already had a strong odor.He stood at the temple gate, and no one else could smell it.After sitting down, the smell diffuses.Some of the guards didn't fall asleep, and even muttered and got up, moving their positions a little farther away.

The old man didn't seem to notice it, and took out a piece of rice ball from his colorless robe and gnawed on it.

He Yuan couldn't see clearly what the old man ate, but he always felt that it shouldn't be a good thing.Although we met by chance and were even a little vigilant, but seeing an old man who didn't even drool, I couldn't bear it.He took some food and water from the dry food package and walked up to the old man.

Seeing someone approaching, the old man raised his head and took a look, but didn't speak.

He Yuan handed over a small gourd filled with water and steamed cake jerky to the old man.

"Old man, the weather is cold, you don't have much food, we have enough food, don't be disgusted, just eat some."

"Thank you." Seeing that He Yuan brought him food, the old man put his palms together and thanked him.

He Yuan thought about it, a good man will do it to the end.He turned around and walked to the fire, took some burning firewood and some dried firewood, and sent them to the old man.

The old man took a few mouthfuls of food and stuffed the rest into his arms.Seeing that He Yuan came over with firewood again, he thanked him again: "Boss, I have caused you trouble."

He Yuan said: "It's not easy to go out, everyone should take care of each other."

The old man raised his head and asked He Yuan: "Where did this master become a monk?"

After hearing this, He Yuan smiled, and just about to speak, he suddenly felt that it was not polite for an old man to look up at him and talk while standing, so he sat down beside him.

"I can't count it as a family member, but just dressed as a monk and stayed in the temple for a few days. Does the old man believe in Buddhism?"

The old man said: "I became a monk in the temple since I was a child."

He Yuan was a little curious, this old man has a temple to settle down, and he still has to travel around?

The old man glanced at him, and casually pointed to the string of rosary beads hanging on his wrist: "This thing of yours has a source."

After hearing this, He Yuan raised his hand.When I was busy just now, I casually hung the rosary on my wrist and didn't care.The old man actually noticed it.

"Master, do you know the origin of this thing?"

"Can you show me?" He Yuan also didn't pay much attention to this thing because he couldn't see the calendar, and handed it over happily.

The old man held the rosary in his hand, looked at it over and over again, squeezed it in his hand for a while, and finally spoke: "Looking at the appearance of this rosary, it should have been used by a esoteric monk more than a hundred years ago. It is quite rare, so keep it carefully." Go." After finishing speaking, he returned the rosary to He Yuan.

"Thank you, master, for your guidance. Why are you still traveling around at this age?" After thanking He Yuan, he asked a question.

"The temple was in decline, so I went out to ask for alms, and wanted to rebuild the temple." The old man said a little lonely.

He Yuan thought for a while, then took out some copper coins from his body and handed them to the old man. "This is a little sesame oil money."

The old man returned the gift: "Thank you, Master."

Just as he got up and was about to go back to rest, the old man said a word: "Master, you have some yin on your body, don't leave the rosary."

He Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a trace of fear.What did he see?Still scare me.The identity of the old man became more and more mysterious.

Not daring to continue, he said a word of thanks and returned to his place.

The old man didn't care about He Yuan's coping attitude, and closed his eyes.

The mountain temple became quiet, and occasionally the crackling of the bonfire could be heard.

A rural wine shop near the Wuhe River, at the door of a simple house, the young man who was about to close the door and go to sleep saw a group of horses and horses coming from a distance.Seeing this posture, he came rushing to his own shop, and quickly greeted: "Shopkeeper! It seems that there are customers coming."

"Then you greet me."

The carriages and horses were getting closer and closer, and they stopped in front of the shop.Hearing the voice, the shop owner who had just shouted also came out.

The shopkeeper is wearing an old homemade cotton robe.With a short and fat body, a round face with small eyes, thick lips, and hands in the sleeves, he stood at the door and looked at the person coming.

The convoy consisted of two carriages and four others on horseback.A young couple came down from the carriage in front, and a maid was holding a child.Before the others took a closer look, a man with a mustache rushed down from the carriage behind, and hurried to the front of the store.

"Which one is the boss?" Bazihu ​​asked.

The shop owner with a round face said: "Next is the shopkeeper. Do you want to ask for directions or to eat?"

Mustache arched his hands: "We pass by here, can you stay here?"

The boss replied happily: "Yes, yes, all guests, please come in."

While asking people to walk into the store, they asked, "How long do you live? How many people are there?"

Mustache ran back to ask the young man in the couple.Apparently, he was in charge.

"We want four rooms. Is there any fodder for the horses?"

The shopkeeper looked helpless: "I'm sorry for you guys, there are not so many guest rooms. We are a small shop by the side of the road and only have two big rooms."

After hearing this, the mustache looked back at the young man, and the young man nodded.

"Then ask for two first."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper agreed, and immediately ordered the two assistants: "Little Er, Xiao Wu, hurry up and greet the guests."

From the conversation, I learned that the mustache is the housekeeper, who is directing the servants and maids to work.There is no big place in the small shop. There is a shed to tie the animals and prepare water and fodder.

The shopkeeper led the young couple into the store to sit down and have a rest, followed by an old man.

As soon as the old man approached the yard, the shopkeeper noticed him.Among the few people on horseback, this old man seemed to be the head.The old man is not young, tall, with a cotton scarf covering his head, wearing a short blue cotton coat, and carrying a big knife on his back.After coming in, he looked around for a while before asking questions. It seemed that he was an old Jianghu.

After the old man sat down, he smiled and asked, "What's the name of the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper set the bowls on the table and poured water for everyone with a large iron pot.

"Your surname is Ou. How long will the guest officer be staying?"

The old man in cotton clothes said: "Stay overnight and leave. Is there anything to eat in your store?"

"There's nothing delicious in this roadside shop, just some homemade steamed cakes and pickles. Would you like some of the guests?"

"Okay, I want some food."

The shopkeeper said: "We also have self-brewed sorghum wine here."

The old man said: "It is enough to have hot water, but not to drink wine."

"Okay, you guys wait a moment." The shopkeeper said while putting down the iron pot.He yelled at the back kitchen: "Don't turn off the fire, prepare the food."
