[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

"Beautiful, really beautiful." Lu Ming's gaze was firmly attached to the woman's body, and he couldn't stop feeling emotional.

"Well," Wukong looked at Luming's praise, and couldn't bear to dampen Luming's interest, so he casually agreed with him, "Yes, the girl is pretty."

"I only know how to look at girls all day long, and only girls are good-looking, Wukong, you are so superficial!" Lu Ming stared at the girl without blinking, and accused Wukong.

Wukong:? ? ?

"Hey, I figured it out. First, you are the one who says the girl is beautiful." Wukong forcibly snapped off Luming's head, "It is you who can't get the eyes stuck to the girl. Why did I become superficial? ?ah?"

"When did I say that the girl is beautiful!" Lu Ming stiffened his neck, his eyes were still glued to the girl's body and he couldn't take it off, but he was trying to argue, "I mean her way of threading needles is beautiful!"

"Okay," Wukong let go of Luming's head, and Luming's head immediately turned to the side of girl No. [-] like a spring, Wukong sighed, "You're right, it's to help you Find a partner, everything you say is right."

Although girl No. [-] chose the most difficult picture of beautiful mountains and rivers, her movements were no slower than those who embroidered wild ducks playing in the water.When she raised her hands, the needles and threads fluttered like butterflies on her fingertips. Her every move was very charming, which tightly attracted the attention of most people present.

When girl No. [-] pulled up the line, everyone in the audience couldn't help but marvel.Both regret and surprise.

In less than half an hour, a complete splendid river and mountain was embroidered.

The needles, threads, and embroidery pictures are all provided by the competition party, and there is no possibility of falsification.

Girl No. [-] took up the thread, and a pair of skillful hands brushed across the fan, shining brilliantly.

"Can I go?" Girl No. [-] asked timidly, her voice was gentle and with an ending, just like a whispered inquiry between lovers.

The crowd below is going to explode.

"Dare to ask the girl's name?"

"Where does the girl live? I came here by car today, and I can give the girl a ride."

"Does the girl have a marriage? How about Xiao Ke?!"

……

The little girl seemed a little frightened, she unconsciously took two steps back, but accidentally stepped on the air.

For the sake of the innocence of the girls’ families and the quietness required for the competition, and even to show respect to the girls, the competition venues of each Qiqiao Festival are built on high platforms, and players of different numbers enter different high platforms through the small houses below. Stand at the same height and compete.

The high platform building is high enough and stable enough, as long as it is not careless, no one will fall.

But what I never expected was that it was such a coincidence.The little girl who participated in the competition seemed to be seeing so many wild people for the first time, and she was terrified. She kept hiding back, but finally hid on the edge of the high platform, slipped and fell.

Wukong only had time to exclaim with everyone, but before he could see Lu Ming's reaction, he saw a figure catch the little girl No. [-] and send the little girl back to the high platform steadily.

Wukong: ...

It's really quick to start.

"it is good!"

"Young hero is very skilled!"

……

Everyone praised Lu Ming's skill one after another, and at the same time, some people started booing.

"Little lady, this little brother is so handsome, don't you think about it?"

"A man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance can be called a perfect match!"

"Little lady, have you ever heard a saying that the grace of saving life should be promised with your body? This little brother saved you today, and he looks good. Why don't you promise it with your body, so we can witness it with our own eyes. A piece of karma in a storybook!"

……

Wukong looked up, the woman was embarrassed by everyone's booing, and kept stomping her feet on the high platform.

Lu Ming tried his best to keep everyone from talking nonsense, so as not to ruin the reputation of the little girl's family.

Wukong reached out and abducted Luming: "Hey, the number two girl doesn't seem to like you. If you don't rely on the pressure of public opinion, the little girl you got will grow wings and fly away!"

Lu Ming listened to Wukong's words now, and looked up at the little girl. The girl looked like she didn't go out very much. She was pampered. She was probably a lady from some family. She was free today and ran to Nanshan In the small town of Buzhou, look at the excitement.

"Don't worry, I know it," Lu Ming said with a meaningful smile, "You can't use public opinion to oppress a girl with such a high temper."

"Yo yo yo," Wukong raised his hand and slapped Luming, almost slapping Luming off again, "It's like you've chased many little girls, don't pretend, sir, you've been single for 24 years, only There has never been a successful case of chasing someone so far. Give up, 24-year-old single dog!"

Luming: ...

No, I can't hit him because I can't beat him.

oh oh oh.

Here Luming and Wukong are fighting, and on the other side of the high platform, there is a sudden noise.

"What's going on?" Lu Ming asked, "Why are you so noisy all of a sudden, what happened?"

"Let me see," Wukong looked intently, "Oh, it seems that your number two girl had some dispute with Sai Fang."

"What dispute?" Lu Ming asked.

Wukong shook his head: "I listened to them, it seems to be a matter of money."

Lu Ming sighed deeply, once again shocked by the maliciousness of this world.

He is poor.

He is cowardly.

He has no money.

Therefore, he cannot be a hero to save the beauty.

Sure enough, after a while, the competition party told everyone what happened.

It turned out that the little girl didn't know that needlework and embroidery at the Qiqiao Festival cost money. She didn't bring any money, but she signed up for the competition.Sai Fang saw that the beautifully embroidered picture of rivers and mountains was also very beautiful, so he suggested that the little girl keep the picture of beautiful rivers and mountains, or sell it to other people on the spot. .

Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't intend to do this. She said that she would rather jump off with this beautiful map of rivers and mountains than give it to anyone else.

Therefore, the competition party refused.

How could a little girl embroider Bawang paintings under their noses?They don't pay much attention to the burly man they raised.

But today is a begging festival, and they can't beat people with their hands, so they can only persuade the little girl patiently, if it doesn't work, you tell me your home address, and we will ask you to go back to your home to ask for it later.

The little girl was even more unwilling, not saying where her home was.

The competition side can only change another method, how about you find someone in the audience to help you pay the money?Or we can ask for you, is there anyone to help you pay the bill?

The little girl shook her head again, and said that I just heard what they said, that if someone pays the bill for me, I need to promise it with my body, and I will not do it.

Sai Fang really endured and endured, so he didn't slap this girl and smashed the girl into a cake.

So, now the situation is deadlocked.

Sai Fang detained the little girl.

The little girl didn't give money, and she didn't ask others to give her money.

Originally, there were people who volunteered to pay for the little girl, but after inquiring about the prices of those needlework albums and silk, they disappeared.

"Is five taels of gold expensive?" Wukong asked casually.

Lu Ming glared at him viciously, and said in a vicious voice: "The shop I opened only earns half a tael of gold a year, do you think it's expensive or not!"

Wukong originally wanted to ask Lu Ming, but who would have thought that Lu Ming's complaint would open up everyone's chatterbox.

The scholar shook his head, "This strong man really doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Five taels of silver a year for ordinary people in Nanfangbuzhou is enough to eat meat, and the usual needlework is only a few copper coins."

"Hey, that's not it. Even the best oiran in Nanbuzhou only needs five gold for a night's sleep. I've been saving money in my dreams. I'll be satisfied if I can sleep once in my life."

……

Wukong abducted Luming: "How could you only earn one or two gold a year? Those three prescriptions are all worth thousands of gold. It's hard to find, your pharmacy is making very little money every day, how can it be possible that you can't earn a tael of gold a year?"

Lu Ming said in a muffled voice: "Come on, don't talk about it, isn't the common currency in the demon world, the cultivation world, and the fairy world are all spirit stones? Who would pay for the three kinds of elixirs with gold?"

"Oh," Wukong replied, thinking that I forgot about this, "Then you want to save your number two girl? I have gold here, do you want to?"

"How many?" Lu Ming's eyes widened instantly, sparkling.

"There are quite a few," Wukong said, "enough for you."

"Come, come, give me as much as you have. I am now a poor man made of grass. The poor clang. I still have a copper plate in my pocket. If you shake it, it will clank. I am the thatch here." The dummy is tied up, there is nothing in the pocket, shake it, and you can’t even hear a sound. Hurry up, Master Wukong, help the little one, so that the little one can live a life of jingling. " Lu Ming said a little Without seeing anyone else, he reached out to pick Wukong's pocket, searched back and forth, and almost stripped Wukong naked on the spot.

Wukong was dumbfounded, and thought seriously for a while, whether this Lu Ming had a brain hole, or he really didn't know there was such a thing as a storage bag.

Lu Ming rummaged through all Wukong's pockets, and rolled his eyes towards the sky: "I knew you were teasing me, how could you have gold, really. It's a shame that I still treat you as a brother, and you play with me every day. It's righteousness."

Wukong silently took out a large handful of gold from the storage bag.
