Chapter 131 There is a monk
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but after saying it, Yuan Tiangang, who was well-educated, couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and took out a string of five half-dry and unwet turtle shells and threw them on the ground with a "bang": "Who cares about these things you compensate? Old Taoist, I am something that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is a treasure. What is the remaining turtle shells you eat?"
Looking at the turtle shell with shredded meat on it, Li Hao was a little weak: "If you don't care, you won't care. Anyway, I'm here to see, what can I do if you don't want me?"
"You..." Yuan Tiangang almost tilted his nose and snorted and stopped talking.
Li Hao felt a little weak and dragged his chair to Yuan Tiangang: "Old Yuan, it's not me who said you, whether you are born or entered the world, you should have a skill. You say you are right? Hey, hey, don't stare at me, I know you can see the picture, but this is never a long-term solution."
Yuan Tiangang Qi was soothed and didn't speak.
He had to admit that telling fortunes to people is indeed not a long-term plan. If you do well, you can make some small money. If you do not do well, you may be beaten.
Li Hao knew what he said and said, and waved his hand, calling Lan Ling, who had already been transferred to the village to work, and asked her to clean up the things on the table and replace it with a tea tray.
Bamboo charcoal was burning in the small red mud stove, purple clay teapots were sitting on the stove, Lanling held a fan and gently fanned the fire. After the water boiled, Yuan Tiangang was dazzled by the operation, he poured out two cups of fragrant tea, handed it to Li Hao, and handed it to Lao Yuan.
"This is..." The tea fragrance is so strong that the tea soup is clear, and the complex tea brewing process makes Yuan Tiangang feel ashamed of the local buns entering the city.
Li Hao compared a gesture of invitation and took a cup and sniffed; "I will try the new Kung Fu tea with Brother Yuan."
Following Li Hao's appearance, Yuan Tiangang sipped the tea soup in front of him, and it was slightly astringent in his mouth. After a moment, he was sweet again and had a long aftertaste. Old Yuan couldn't help but praise: "It's really good tea."
"Yes!" Li Hao smiled slightly and asked Lan Ling to fill her tea again: "It seems that Brother Yuan has a similar taste to me. I wonder if it is considered a hero or not."
Yuan Tiangang blinked his eyes and searched: "What's the name of this tea...?"
Li Hao waved his hand: "It's not a good name, I just can't get used to making tea. Brother Yuan, I am a common man in the world, with some genius and some small thoughts, but I'm not a master, so don't think too much."
After a pun, Yuan Tiangang thought about it and continued another cup of tea, took it under his nose and sniffed it: "Criminal, the old Taoist actually has no other meaning. The reason why he has been with you is just to make a living."
If you dare to say this, I have to believe it.
Li Hao rolled his eyes: "Since that's the case, why don't you help me? I'll pay 20 guan every month to ensure food and accommodation."
"Oh? There is such a good thing?" Yuan Tiangang said: "But I can't do anything except telling fortunes. I wonder what the prince plans to ask me to help?"
Li Hao smiled and said, "Old Yuan, Lao Yuan, are you saying this against your will? As far as I know, you know everything about astronomy and geography, and you know everything about astrology and divination. In addition, you are no worse than Li Chunfeng when you learn a single thing."
"So what?" Yuan Tiangang drank the seventh cup of tea, smashed it, and it seemed that he couldn't quench his thirst.
"Not very good." Li Hao shook his head and sighed, "But I heard that a great monk in Jingtu Temple made a great vow of Hongtian and planned to travel west to Tianzhu to seek Dharma. Do you have no thoughts on this?"
"What?" Yuan Tiangang was stunned.
"Brother Yuan, you won't know about such a big thing, right?"
Of course I don’t know, if I know who still has the heart to hang out with you here.
Yuan Tiangang was a little anxious and restless.
Li Hao curled his lips, "I haven't cured you yet, can you wave your hand to Yuan Tiangang and tell him to be calm: "Brother Yuan, don't be anxious, it's useless to be anxious. This is a long journey to India. It's still unknown whether the monk can come back. Don't be confused."
Li Hao's words of persuasion were pale and powerless, and Yuan Tiangang did not mean to relax at all.
It is of great significance for monks to go west to seek the Dharma. There are only so many believers in the world. If you have more, I will be less. If the Taoist sect wants to compete for believers, they must respond to this.
As for Li Hao's fate..., do you want to do whatever you want, can a little kid make a big deal?
Staring at Yuan Tiangang's face, which was green and white for a while, Li Hao knocked on the table and coughed dryly: "Cough, Brother Yuan."
"Ah? Oh!" Yuan Tiangang came back to his senses: "Criminal, I wonder if your news is accurate."
Li Hao said: "What's the point of being accurate? The monk's Chen Biao is still on the prince's table. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone for inquiries."
According to normal history, Xuanzang's journey to the west was handed over to Li Er, but Li Er forgot it because he was busy, so he did not approve it. This led to the monk not even getting his passport and went straight to smuggling out of the country.
But now it is different. Because Li Chengqian performed well, he was qualified to attend court in advance and had the right to make a decision in the Shangshu Province, Xuanzang's Chen Biao was transferred directly to Li Chengqian's table. It was precisely because of this that Li Hao saw it.
Speaking of this, Yuan Tiangang could not believe it. He grabbed the cup the size of a finger on the table, stuffed it into his stomach, and drank the tea and made the heroic wine.
Putting down the cup, Yuan Tiangang clasped his fists at Li Hao: "The prince's great kindness, I will repay you in the future. Today... I will say goodbye."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a moment." Seeing Yuan Tiangang leaving with great strides, Li Hao hurriedly greeted: "Old Yuan, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you anxious? It's not bad to kill someone to silence me for a while."
Yuan Tiangang staggered and almost fell to the ground without heading down.
Who wants to kill someone to silence the words? Can't these playboys pay attention to the influence of their words?
Li Jing walked out of the room with a purple clay pot, came to Yuan Tiangang, and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Yuan, it's not that I said you, you are so old, why are you still as impatient as a child? You can't listen to me finish your words?"
Yuan Tiangang was in a hurry to leave, but he had no intention of quitting with Li Hao. He said as if he was dealing with it: "I listen carefully."
Li Hao also knew that if he didn't give Lao Yuan a reassurance at this time, he would not listen to his arrangements with peace of mind. He smiled and said, "Do you know, no matter how capable a person is, he cannot change certain things. The great monk has the courage and ambition. It is a good thing to go west alone to seek the Dharma, but the Buddhist sect behind him is his burden because they did two things wrong."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Tiangang asked.
"One, no production, two, a large amount of land for the people." Li Hao stretched out two fingers and said seriously: "You know, Buddhism does not have to pay taxes. The more people's land you collect, the less taxes the Tang Dynasty will be. What would you do if you were a person in power?"
"I, I will..." Yuan Tiangang's head was filled with cold sweat.
In fact, it is not just Buddhism, but Taoism.
