The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 2 0002, Straight Hook Fishing for an Old Taoist Priest

That afternoon, Brother Monkey finally verified his guess.There was indeed a handsome guy at the beach, but he was just an old handsome guy.A 50-year-old man, surnamed Jiang, has been fishing by the sea these days.

During these hundreds of years, Brother Hou rarely had the opportunity to see strangers.Since someone has arrived at the door, how can we not see each other.

Old man Jiang is a straightforward person. He heard from Xiaoqing that someone wanted to see him, so he specially prepared two jars of good wine.He is usually reluctant to buy this wine, but he doesn't feel bad about sharing it with others.

At the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Old Man Jiang stared blankly at Brother Monkey, who only showed his head.Although he has practiced Taoism for many years, he has only recently started to go down the mountain to practice.A monkey could speak such a standard Mandarin, which made him feel that he could not do it well after living for decades.

Old man Jiang is different from ordinary fishermen. He has been at the beach for many days, but he hasn't caught a single fish.A few days ago, he even set up a divination stall in the city, and many people came to him for fortune-telling every day.Later, the high officials were alarmed, and he was invited to the mansion as a guest of honor.Just don't know what happened, Jiang old man suddenly left the city and came to this shitty beach.

After two glasses of wine, Jiang old man hiccupped, and began to call Brother Hou a brother.This drink is too important to Brother Monkey, the last time he had a drink was hundreds of years ago.However, he didn't dare to drink too much. If he hadn't bet with that man when he was drunk last time, he wouldn't be under the Five Elements Mountain for so many years now.

"The master told me that after going down the mountain, even if you use the skills you have learned, you must deal with injustices and deal with people who do not follow the way of heaven. But the master did not tell me where I should go." Mr. Jiang called Said with a wine hiccup.

Monkey raised his head and took a sip of wine, looked into the distance and said indifferently: "At the beginning I was apprenticed to a master, and the master taught me two samples. He will not admit that he is my master."

In the past few hundred years, except for Xiaobai and Xiaoqing who have been with him all the time, the monkey will always think of what his master said to him in the dead of night.I will also remember the place where I was born.

The old man Jiang said: "Monkey, if you need my help, just ask, well, of course, except for letting me get rid of this mountain on you."

Throwing a peanut into its mouth, the monkey glanced at Xiaoqing and Xiaobai standing not far away.Sighing: "Forget it, Lao Sun has been here for more than 400 years, and many things have already been taken care of. You can't help me, and there are many things that only I can do."

The old man Jiang said: "Well, I will stay here for a while, and I should return to the city in a few days. If there is any need in the future, just let me know."

The monkey asked curiously: "Aren't you annoyed by those rich people in the city? Why do you want to go back?"

The old man Jiang said: "This is my destiny, and it is also my mission. Before going down the mountain, my master told me that I may not become a god, but I must be a person who can become a god once."

Old man Jiang followed his master to practice Taoism since he was a child, and he only wanted to save the common people in the world, so that he could do more good deeds in his lifetime.He never thought of attaining Taoism and becoming an immortal, let alone becoming a minister of the highest rank one day.But his master told him since he was a child that there is a big thing that only he can do when he grows up.

He has a senior brother named Shen who thinks completely opposite to his senior brother.He always wanted to attain Taoism and become an immortal, and he always thought of using heresy instead of ascetic practice.He didn't know how to repent when he was discovered by his master. In the end, before old man Jiang went down the mountain, Junior Brother Shen actually stole the master's magic weapon and sneaked down the mountain one step ahead of him.

He didn't want to tell the monkey about this, after all, it was considered a family scandal.People in the city are particular about eating, dressing and sleeping.Especially in those wealthy mansions, the servants are dressed much better than ordinary people.

At that time, the old man Jiang was divining for others, and Junior Brother Shen also set up a stall not far away.But for all the hexagrams old man Jiang has calculated, his senior brother will do the calculation again for others.Then use some small tricks to make Old Man Jiang's calculations inaccurate.It didn't work for a month, and the old man Jiang was kicked out.

"The person who conferred the gods? What's that for?" asked the half-drunk monkey.

Old man Jiang said: "To put it simply, it is the gatekeeper, and you can also understand it as the gatekeeper."

The monkey smiled and said: "Oh, when you look at the gate, you just say look at the gate, and you don't talk about the gatekeeper. It looks so tall. But I'm curious, is it appropriate for someone to look at the gate at your age?"

The old man Jiang blushed from being choked by these words, and then laughed out loud.If the words just now came from someone else, he would have knocked him to the ground with a hammer.Although he has only known Monkey for a long time, he already understands Monkey's character.

Old man Jiang was drunk, the first time he was so drunk after living for decades.Monkey was also drunk, but he could keep his head even when he was drunk.

As the saying goes, if you meet a bosom friend, you will drink less than a thousand cups, but if you don't speculate, you will spend more than half a sentence.

Monkey has a lot of unfinished business, and according to his previous violent temper, he will definitely do it right away.But now he is under the Five Elements Mountain, and he can't go anywhere until the bet expires.

Old man Jiang also had a lot of things he couldn't let go of, the most important thing was that he boasted to his master back then that he must bring Junior Brother Shen back to the master.These few times he fought against Junior Brother Shen, but every time he got humiliated.There are a lot of old people, if they are like this, how can they have the face to go back to see the master.

On a sunny morning, the monkey moved its neck and made a crackling sound.Xiaoqing and Xiaobai are busy making breakfast, and they have been discussing a problem for several years.Both of them can transform into adults, and Xiaobai wants to go down the mountain to find her benefactor to repay her kindness.

Monkey seemed to remember that Xiaobai's benefactor was named Xu, but he didn't remember the name.Xiaobai has been thinking about the kid surnamed Xu all these years, otherwise she wouldn't have worked so hard to cultivate.Xiaoqing only practiced for three or four hours a day, but Xiaobai could not wait to spend twelve hours a day in cultivation.

Ten years of cultivation to cross the same boat, a hundred years of cultivation to sleep together, and a thousand years of cultivation to achieve fate in the afterlife.Xiaobai wants to use the experience points he has accumulated in these years of cultivation in exchange for an encounter with benefactor.Houzi didn't understand why she was obsessed with obsession, and Xiaoqing had persuaded her for hundreds of years, but she still couldn't shake her determination to go down the mountain.

But they had agreed in advance that neither of them would go anywhere until Brother Monkey was free.

Old man Jiang stretched, and took the breakfast that Xiao Bai handed over.I think back then he also had a wife, someone cooked three meals a day, and had a warm bed at night.It's a pity that he doesn't understand romance, let alone how to support his family, and finally ran away such a good girl in anger.

"Hey, old man Jiang, what are you thinking?" Seeing old man Jiang in a daze, the monkey shouted at him.

The old man Jiang suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head slightly and sighed.Every time he sent a sound transmission to the master, he asked him what to do.The master always told him that the secrets of heaven should not be leaked.He has heard this sentence dozens of times, and he doesn't know when it will be the head.

After breakfast, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing went to the cave to meditate, and old man Jiang ran up the mountain to pick some fresh peaches.When I came back and chatted with the monkey while eating, when he ate the last peach, a long-lost voice sounded in his mind.

The old man Jiang wept with joy, kept patting the stone in front of him, and kept chanting a sentence.

I finally waited for you, but luckily I didn't give up.

He finally doesn't have to stay in this place where no shit, the master has given him new instructions.He needs to go to the capital and wait for someone by the river there.Don't fish for shrimps and gold and silver, only fish for emperors and virtuous ministers.

Before lunch, old man Jiang was ready to go to the capital.Monkey was afraid that he would be hungry on the way, so he asked Xiaoqing to pick a lot of peaches for him.Although the monkey didn't know where the capital was, since Xiaoqing said it was far, far away, it must be very far away.

"Monkey, I have a few words to tell you before I leave. I know you won't believe me because of your character, but I don't care if you listen or not, I hope you will remember what I said." Old man Jiang said.

Brother Hou shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let's talk, anyway, I won't have the chance to listen to your nagging in the future."

Old man Jiang said: "After you regain your freedom, don't hurt those who have had a feud with you. If one day you see the person who bet with you again, don't do anything to him. If one day you are If you are trapped by love, you must not hurt those women who like you."

I didn't understand the three sentences or two and a half sentences, so Brother Hou said impatiently: "I know, I know, let's go, if you don't go, it's going to rain."

The old man Jiang cupped his fists and saluted: "There will be a time later!"

"There is a period." The monkey said without raising his head.

When old man Jiang passed the first corner, Brother Hou, who was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, tried to stretch his neck, and blood marks appeared on his stretched neck.It has been hundreds of years, but only this one person has ever invited him to drink.If it wasn't for him being unable to move, he would definitely accompany that old man Jiang to the capital.

Seeing Brother Monkey stretching his neck as hard as possible, Xiaoqing suddenly said, "Brother Monkey, are you crying?"

"Fart, why would I cry? That's because sand got in my eyes." Brother Hou argued weakly.

Xiaobai helped Brother Hou wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes silently, and said softly: "It's been almost 500 years, and only such an old man will accompany you to get drunk. If it were me, maybe I would promise you with my body. "

Monkey was a little embarrassed when he heard that, Xiaoqing never knew how to figure out his thoughts, but Xiaobai could guess his thoughts at a glance.Although old man Jiang is an ordinary person, he will become an extraordinary person in the future.

The gatekeeper, the gatekeeper, only old man Jiang dared to say such words.Xiaobai and Xiaoqing didn't think about it, but Monkey didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Back then he also saw a few guards at the gate, each of them looked as if someone owed them several hundred taels of silver.Fortunately, their treatment is good, and their work clothes are also very beautiful.

Seeing Xiaoqing and Xiaobai arguing about not going down the mountain again, the monkey whispered, "Old man Jiang, when my grandson is free again, I will definitely remember what you said. If we can meet again If you arrive, I will definitely treat you to the best wine."

In the middle of the night, a vague figure appeared in the mind of the sleeping monkey, as if the primordial spirit had come out of the body, or as if the god had descended to earth.
