Mysterious World Tour

Chapter 189 Officials and thieves do not argue over numbers (first update)

On the dusty tea stall, an elegantly dressed man sat, drinking tea from a large bowl with a gap. On the cracked black elm table, there was a plate with also missing holes, and there were some salted peanuts in it.

The tea stall was not too busy, but it was not deserted either. There were only three tables under the small tent, but except for this man who occupied one table, the other two tables were crowded with people.

This weird scene undoubtedly shows that this man is not easy to mess with.

At this time, the man was nodding and smiling at Tan Mo.

Tan Mo was really surprised to see him. This surprise was not only for the person, but also for the current situation.

In such a shabby tea stall, I unexpectedly encountered Nian Brocade from Qingxu Sect.

A person that even his senior brother has some scruples about.

"We haven't seen each other for a while. The little master has already broken through the barrier between the secular world and the spiritual world. Nian really didn't miss it at the beginning. The little master is not a thing in the pond. There is no other place to sit in this tea stall. If you don't dislike it, "How about sharing a table with Nian?" Nian Zhijin invited with a smile on his face.

Tan Mo remembered his senior brother's evaluation of Nian Zhijin and couldn't help but hesitate. However, now that the little princess saw that there was really no other place to use this tea stall, she heard what Nian Zhijin said, so she walked over without thinking and returned. He politely said to Nian Zhijin, "Thank you, sir."

Tan Mo looked at this pig teammate and had no choice but to walk over, and then said bravely: "Mr. Nian deserves the award."

In fact, Tan Mo didn't want to deal with Mr. Nian at all.

After all, according to his senior brother, Nian Zhijin is an extremely contradictory and complex person, and he "recognizes money but not people." As long as you give enough benefits, you can turn your back on others in a blink of an eye.

Yun Yizi changed from the head of Qingxu Sect to the master of Qingxu Temple because of the benefits of Nian Brocade.

Moreover, Brocade was the confidant of the new head of Qingxu Sect this year.

Although the current head of the Qingxu Sect is also of the bloodline of the previous head, the fact of Nian Zhiwei is enough to make people complain.

The unlucky child Yun Yizi suffered from a serious psychological shadow because of this, and he repeatedly vented his anger on strangers.

"Two big bowls of tea, and some peanuts." Nian Zhijin raised his hand and said.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, we will be here soon." The tea stall owner responded quickly, his tone was very urgent, and he even looked at Nian Zhijin with a little fear, thinking that next year Nian Zhijin would be able to occupy a table to himself. Undoubtedly, some means were used to cause these people to have a psychological shadow.

A large bowl of tea and salted peanuts arrived quickly.

Tan Mo took a look and saw that there were a lot of tea leaves in the big bowl of tea, and the salted peanuts were piled up like a hill on the plate. As the saying goes, there is no business without profit, but the tea stall owner gave so many... I thought. After thinking about it, Tan Mo decided to leave Nian Brocade first, so as not to wait for Nian Brocade to leave and the two of them would be angered by these people here.

After all, he and the little princess were just two children in the eyes of outsiders.

Although he was not afraid, he did not want to get into such inexplicable trouble, especially if he was suspected of taking the blame for someone else.

He never does anything thankless.

"Although this place is simple and the tea is poor and turbid, the salted peanuts are delicious and a rare delicacy. Little Master, please try more." Nian Zhijin greeted enthusiastically.

Seeing this, Tan Mo had no choice but to taste it and found that it was indeed what Nian Zhijin said. However, he was not interested in the delicious peanuts in front of him. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask casually, "Mr. Nian, are you going to see Yun Yi?" Brother Zidao?"

"Absolutely. Hey, for a trivial matter within the sect, he broke his leg while running. He was in the world and couldn't help himself." Nian Zhijin said half-heartedly.

Tan Mo heard something in Nian Zhijin's words, but he couldn't figure out what it meant.

"Little master, where are you going? Could it be an elopement?" Nian Zhijin said and glanced at the little princess. He recognized the little princess's identity, but he didn't mean to specify it.

When the little princess heard what Nian Zhijin said, she couldn't help but glance at Tan Mo, and then her face turned red without knowing what she was thinking.

Tan Mo heard this, but his expression did not change. He expressionlessly took out the alms bowl from his luggage, put it on the table, and said, "Mr. Nian is joking, the young monk broke his leg too!"

Nian Zhijin glanced at the alms bowl. This alms bowl was just an ordinary alms bowl. The only thing that was more special was that there was a Buddhist scripture on the alms bowl.

This sutra looked normal to ordinary people, but when Nian Zhijin saw it, he saw a monk with long eyebrows and a mark between his eyebrows, holding a carving knife and patiently carving sutras.

He couldn't help but raise his brows, with a strong look of fear in his eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Senior Brother Lianhua is becoming more and more unfathomable."

Then he looked at Tan Mo and asked, "Are you going to send him to Renjia Town?"

"Exactly." Tan Mo nodded.

"Then little master, please be careful." Nian Zhijin nodded and said.

"Did something happen in Renjia Town?" Tan Mo couldn't help but ask.

Nian Zhijin smiled, but did not say it directly, but read a poem: "One gold and one drum are used to relieve thieves, two drums and one gong are used to welcome officials. The gold and drums all look the same, and officials and thieves do not compete with each other for more." "

The little princess couldn't help but blinked in confusion after hearing this.

This is well said, why did you suddenly start reading poetry?

She was about to ask, but found that Tan Mo stood up and bowed to Nian Zhijin, "Namo Amitabha, thank you Mr. Nian for telling me, I know what's going on. I have to hurry, so I'll go first."

"Take care, little master." Nian Zhijin heard Tan Mo say this, and his smile became even bigger, and he bowed his hands.

"See you later."

As he said this, Tan Mo reached out and pulled the little princess.

Although the little princess was puzzled, she still followed Tan Mo obediently. After getting on the horse, she asked: "What did Mr. Nian say? Why did he suddenly recite a poem?"

Tan Mo glanced at the poor student, sighed in his heart, and then explained in a low voice: "This gong is made of metal, so the gong in this poem also refers to gold."

"Then what?" The little princess nodded her head, waiting for the next part.

Tan Mo: "..."

He thought that the little princess would understand after he explained it this way, but the poor student still didn't understand, so he explained in detail helplessly: "Mr. Nian said that the officials and gentry in Renjia Town are not good people, just like evil thieves, so we should be more careful."

"Is that so? Then I will ask my father to chop off their heads when I go back." The little princess was indignant when she heard it.

However, Tan Mo couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard it, and then he kindly reminded: "Renjia Town is not under the jurisdiction of King Teng."
