Trantor: 549690339
The pawnshop owner stretched his neck, watching Xuanqing carry the silver away.
Only then did excitement show on his face.
“Treasure, what a treasure! If only the Taoist doesn’t have the money to redeem it, this treasure will belong to me!”
The boss closed his eyes, rubbing the water cup against his face, looking utterly intoxicated and inextricable.
…..
On this side.
Xuanqing carried the 300 taels of silver, left the pawnshop, found a secluded ce, and stored it in the System Backpack.
In ancient times, one catty equaled sixteen taels. A saying of half a catty and eight taels is half a catty in modern society, which is eight taels in ancient times.
You have to admit.
This System Backpack is so convenient. With the weight of eighteen catties of silver, there is no feeling after putting it in the backpack.
Soon after.
He found an inn in town to stay at.
Xuanqing was surprised to find that there was already something called “chili pepper” in this era.action
You have to know.
ording to history, chili peppers were not introduced to the Central ins until the Ming Dynasty, while the world of Journey to the West was clearly in the Tang Dynasty.
Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing, Tang and Ming Dynasties, were separated by two dynasties.
However, on second thought.
Xuanqing couldn’t help butugh, realizing that his thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding.
How could this kind of mythological world, where a somersault cloud is 108,000 miles, be measured by ordinary history?
There is no such thing as the Monkey King making a fuss in the Heavenly Pce in history.
Understanding this, he no longer gets entangled in historical issues. No matter what he sees in the future, it all makes sense, after all, this is a world of mythical games.
….
At the inn’s counter.
Xuanqing took out a bean-sized piece of broken silver from his bosom and ced it on the counter.
“Open an upper room and bring some food!”
“Okay~”
“Upper room costs one hundred wen per day, I’ll take five coins from you and settle the remaining bnce when you check out!” The shopkeeper weighed the silver bean with a steelyard bnce.
…..
This so-called upper room is actually just a room with a living room and dining table.
“Sir, your meal is ready.”
“Bring it in.”
Perhaps it was due to the upper room, priority was given to the kitchen, and not long after the room was opened, the waiter brought the food over.
“Sir… Taoist priest, braised eggnt, braised pork, a pot of sake, and rice, I’ll put them on the table for you.” The waiter entered the room and introduced them skillfully.
After finishing announcing the names of the dishes, as the waiter was about to leave.
“Wait a minute!”
Xuanqing took out a few loose copper coins from his bosom and asked, “I want to ask you something, do you know any famous mountains and sights nearby?”
As the saying goes, neers must pay homage to the mountains. Besides, he had tried to practice in this kind of town, and the speed was very slow, which was less than one-tenthpared to the Five Elements Mountain.
So he wanted to find a famous mountain and sight, pay a visit to the mountain, and also try to practice with the spiritual qi of the blessednd.
At this moment.
The waiter hesitated for a moment, looked at the copper coins on the table, and enthusiastically said, “Oh, Taoist Master, you really asked the right person.”
As a waiter in an inn, he often hears various news in his daily life.
“There are no Taoist temples nearby, but there is a Guanyin Zen Temple with an old monk who is said to be very…”
The waiter quickly pped his mouth in front of the Taoist, saying that the Buddhist Zen Temple was effective, how could he say such a thing!
“I’m sorry, I misspoke. In addition to this temple, there are two mountains. One is called ck Wind Mountain, and the other is called Azure Dragon Mountain.”
“Guanyin Zen Temple, ck Wind Mountain… Azure Dragon Mountain?”
Xuanqing’s heart stirred.
You know, the episode in Journey to the West he watched as a child, Guanyin Zen Temple, left a deep impression, especially the demon ck Bear Essence in it.
Hmm… that ck bear could even steal kasaya robes.
Combining this with the rumors about ck Wind Town, could it be that the ck Bear Essence lives on ck Wind Mountain?
Then what kind of monster is on Azure Dragon Mountain?
“By the way, Sir, the grocery store sells maps for only five copper coins. I can buy them for you.” The waiter licked his lips.
He enjoyed serving these out-of-town customers the most, even having a partnership with the grocery store. Anytime he went to buy a map, he could receive a copper coinmission.
“Good, give me a map as well!”
Xuanqing nodded and took out some change from his pocket, “Take the rest as a reward.”
With these words,
The waiter’s eyes lit up and he bowed immediately, “Thank you, sir! I’ll go and buy the map right away, please wait a moment.”
With that, he took the money and ran out.
….
After the waiter left,
Xuanqing ate his meal, considering his ns for the future.
First of all, he could be sure that Guanyin Zen Temple was most likely the one from Eighty-one hardships, and ck Wind Mountain was the ce where the Demon ck Bear who steals kasayas resides.
As a Taoist, it’s not appropriate for him to go to the Guanyin Zen Temple, so he ns to visit ck Wind Mountain and pay a visit to the ck Bear Essence.
Moreover,
The ck Bear Essence is quite interesting. As a demon, not only does it not eat people, but it is also fond of Buddhism. In the end, it is even taken in by Guanyin to guard Mount Luojia as a Mountain God.
That being said,
Although the ck Bear Essence is a wild demon, it’s far better than those demons sent down by the immortals and Buddhas. Dealing with it at least ensures safety and it won’t revive easily.
…..
Before finishing his meal,
There was a knock on the door, and the waiter who went to buy the map had returned.
Xuanqing took the map and instructed the waiter not to let anyone disturb him.
It was gettingte, so he decided to head to ck Wind Mountain to visit the ck Bear Essence early tomorrow morning.
Practicing in this town is too slow, so he ns to let the game character sleep and return to the real world.
ording to the ratio between the two worlds, staying in the real world for an hour would make ten hours pass in the game.
“Exit the game!”
[The game has exited]
….
Back in the real world,
Xuanqing immediately looked at his phone screen, which disyed the moment he exited the game.
He set a fifty-minute rm.
Then Xuanqing lit a fire and cooked a bowl of noodles, quickly filling his stomach.
Ding ling ling~ The rm rang.
After some thought,
Since he was going to ask for a favor and borrow a ce to cultivate, it wouldn’t be right to go empty-handed. It was proper to bring a greeting gift.
Xuanqing took a copy of “The Supreme Profound Treasure of The Infinite Measure of the Uppermost Wonderful Scripture for Delivering People” from the Taoist temple and put it into the System Backpack.
Having decided to visit the ck Bear Essence, it’s only natural not to go empty-handed.
“Enter the game!”
….
ck Wind Town.
Yue Lai Inn.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
Leaving the room, he went to the hall outside to have a bowl of porridge to fill his stomach, then left the inn and headed to the marked ck Wind Mountain on the map.
….
ck Wind Mountain.
There’s a ck Wind Cave on the hillside with a ck bear demon inside.
This moment,
The ck Bear Essence is entertaining its close friend Young Master Bai She in the cave.
“Haha, Little Brother Bai She, it’s been a long time since west met, and your cultivation has improved a lot~” The ck Bear Essence spoke with a muffled voice.
Bai She Essence modestlyughed, “Not at all, Junior Brother, I’ve been swallowing natural treasures every day and can’t catch up with you just cultivating casually. I really envy your achievements!”
“Hehe~ No, no!” replied the ck Bear Essence with a sillyugh.
At this moment,
Suddenly,
The ck Bear Essence furrowed his brows.
“What’s wrong?” Bai She Essence asked doubtfully.
“A guest has arrived!”
