Mysterious World Tour

Chapter 174: Skinning and filling with grass (5th update, unfortunately failed to challenge 10th update, to be continued tomorrow)

"There is a teahouse ahead, go and have a rest, the tea money is on my side." Lotus monk was in a good mood, so he turned around and shouted to the sedan chair far behind.

"Thank you, Master Lotus." Several sedan bearers hurriedly thanked him.

This is an official road, and there are many people coming and going. When Tan Mo arrived, there was only one table available, so the four sedan bearers held the bowls, sat on the ground, and drank it in big gulps, while Tan Mo, the little princess, the Lotus monk and Meng Tingzhang sat around the table.

Then Meng Tingzhang said to Tan Mo: "Little Master seems a little different."

When he spoke, his eyes were always looking at Tan Mo.

But the look in his eyes was confused.

But he was not confused by Tan Mo's change, but confused about himself, because he didn't know why, looking at Tan Mo at this moment, he suddenly had the urge to eat Tan Mo.

This surprised Meng Tingzhang.

He really couldn't figure out why he had such an idea?

To be honest, since he ran away, he did find some things wrong with himself, such as he only remembered the general idea of ​​his secluded place, but couldn't remember many details, or he remembered the ability of the female ghost clearly, but couldn't remember what the female ghost looked like at all. There were many such things, but he never felt so incredible as now.

He actually wanted to eat a little monk?

He was not a refugee fleeing!

Tan Mo noticed the changes in Meng Tingzhang's expression, so he confessed: "The little monk just took the last step and achieved the Six Imperials."

"Only achieved the Six Imperials?" Meng Tingzhang frowned slightly, but didn't ask again. He picked up the tea in front of him and wanted to take a sip, but the steaming tea made him repel and hate it from the bottom of his heart.

This situation was not the first time, so he poured out the tea and asked the teahouse owner to replace it with a bowl of unboiled well water.

Drink it all in one gulp.

Meng Tingzhang suddenly felt extremely comfortable all over, just like this mouthful of well water moisturized his limbs and made him feel particularly comfortable.

Seeing the changes in Meng Tingzhang after drinking a mouthful of well water, Tan Mo couldn't help but look at the bucket of well water for several times. This was obviously just ordinary well water, and it was a little turbid. How come Meng Tingzhang was refreshed after drinking it, looking like a watered plant.

Tan Mo took note of this and planned to discuss it with his senior brother later, but he thought his senior brother should have noticed it too.

So he looked at the Lotus Monk.

Sure enough, the Lotus Monk blinked slightly, as a gesture.

Before, he was meeting an old friend, and he didn't think much about it after Meng Tingzhang's reasonable explanation, but with Tan Mo's reminder before, how could he continue to trust Meng Tingzhang, or even be careless?

Meng Tingzhang had a problem, and it might be a problem that he himself didn't realize.

Then this also means one thing, the ominous things that Meng Tingzhang said can only be used as a reference, as for what it is, we need to go and see.

He can't let this matter go.

After all, Meng Tingzhang had a very good relationship with him back then.

Of course, once he finds any clues involving the King of Ominousness, he will immediately take Tan Mo and the little princess away.

After drinking tea and resting for a while, he continued on the road.

At this moment, because the Lotus Monk was sweating and smelling of sweat, the little princess was not happy to stay with the Lotus Monk. Although Tan Mo was also sweating, he could not cover up his faint fragrance. The little princess followed Tan Mo, which made the Lotus Monk roll his eyes.

When the sun set in the west, they entered a mountain city.

This small county town in the mountains is not big overall. The busiest county center has only three streets. There are only a few shops for trading, and there is not even an inn.

However, a wealthy family in the county, after hearing about the arrival of the great scholar Meng Tingzhang, brought people to greet them and invited them into their home.

Compared with the dilapidated county, the home of this wealthy family seemed magnificent.

Because the government was in chaos, this wealthy family even raised private soldiers in the mansion, with more than 300 people, patrolling day and night in batches, which was very strict.

This wealthy family was like a local emperor in this mountain city.

This "local emperor" was named Li Yuanhe. In his early years, he donated an official position, but after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, he took off his official uniform and raised private soldiers. He did not mean to occupy the mountain as a king, but he was undoubtedly the one who had the final say in this area.

Li Yuanhe was a Confucian disciple, who boasted of his talent and gave himself a nickname "Half a Great Confucian", thinking that he could be considered half a great Confucian.

The locals were afraid of him, so they all followed his wishes and called him Half a Great Confucian Li Yuanhe.

This time, Li Yuanhe heard that the great Confucian Meng Tingzhang was going to pass by here, so he made preparations early, not for Meng Tingzhang to accept him as a disciple, but for Meng Tingzhang to recognize his knowledge.

In this way, Li Yuanhe could change from a "half-great Confucian" to a real great Confucian.

Having enjoyed enough of the glory and wealth, Li Yuanhe began to pursue the reputation that would last forever. In his opinion, the reputation of this great Confucian would undoubtedly last forever.

After all, from ancient times to the present, no matter how the dynasties changed, the emperors used Confucian disciples to govern the world.

When Confucian disciples govern the world, they will naturally promote the famous Confucian Confucian scholars. In this way, wouldn't it be a great reputation?

Li Yuanhe's plan was clear, so at the banquet, Li Yuanhe frequently toasted Meng Tingzhang, who naturally didn't want to drink.

However, Meng Tingzhang didn't give him face, and although Li Yuanhe was secretly angry, he didn't show it, but started to discuss knowledge with Meng Tingzhang.

Li Yuanhe boasted that he was talented, but in fact he had no real talent. All the poems he wrote were doggerel, and it was good enough if they could barely rhyme.

Tan Mo and Lotus Monk had no expression on their faces. They came to eat a meal relying on Meng Tingzhang's reputation. After hearing the poem written by Li Yuanhe, they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that this person was really asking for trouble.

However, Meng Tingzhang's performance surprised Tan Mo and Lotus Monk.

Meng Tingzhang actually wrote a doggerel, and in terms of style, it was similar to Li Yuanhe's, as if he was imitating.

This made Li Yuanhe very happy. He didn't expect Meng Tingzhang to give him face like this.

The guests were all having a great time.

At this time, Lotus Monk quietly took Tan Mo and the little princess out.

"Little Junior Brother, Princess, did you see anything?" Lotus Monk asked with a serious face.

Tan Mo nodded.

The little princess also nodded, and then said: "Uncle Lotus, I didn't see anything. Xiao Muyu also nodded, but he didn't."

Tan Mo's mouth twitched, I didn't see why you nodded?

So he thought about it and decided to spoil the show: "Brother, I can see that Mr. Meng is imitating, just like babbling."

"Well, after hearing what you said, I can be sure that Meng Tingzhang is just a puppet."

"Puppet?"

The Lotus Monk nodded, his eyes solemn: "A puppet created by peeling skin and filling with grass."
