Chapter 699

Ten miles north of Chang'an City, Changting.

As the saying goes, a long Pavilion within ten miles and a short Pavilion within five miles are places for tourists to rest. It is also a place for Tang people to see off their relatives and friends on a long journey.

Today, Li forgets to worry about seeing off here are Bai Mopeng, a businessman from Kucha, monk Wenzai, who is going west to catch up with master Xuanzang, and his disciple Lin Daniu.

Bai Mo Peng was tortured and tortured by bad people that day. His injuries have recovered. His throat burned dumb by medicine has been treated by Sun Simiao. Although he can speak, he can only make a low and hoarse voice.

Li forgot to worry and bowed to Bai Mo long: "Lao Bai, it's my fault that you almost went to jail and suffered such a heavy injury because of me. Please accept my gift to apologize."

Bai Mo Peng quickly bowed back and replied in a hoarse voice, "Huxian uncle, don't say that again. I'm ashamed. How can I blame Huxian uncle? It's really those traitors. On the contrary, I want to thank Huxian uncle for his help, otherwise I can't see the sun again."

Li forgot to worry and said with a smile, "we should not worship here. Lao Bai, when you return to Chang'an next spring, I'll invite you to drink again."

Bai Mo smiled and pointed to the wine bag hanging on his hunchback: "Huxian uncle, these drinks you gave me are enough to make me drunk."

On his return trip, more than 100 camels carried nothing but sorghum wine. Li forgot to worry and gave him thousands of kilograms of shaodaozi wine. He wanted to return to kuci this time. Bai Mo would be able to earn a full pot, which was equivalent to his business income from several trips to Chang'an.

"Ha ha, it's nothing." Li forgot to worry and smiled.

After a few words of gossip, Li forgot to worry and looked at the monk Wenzai: "master, it's difficult to go west to ask for scriptures. Please be careful."

Monk Wenzai and disciple Lin Daniu want to travel west to Tianzhu. Li forgets worry. In fact, he wants to persuade them to give up, but he can't say it.

He has no good feelings for Buddhism. These temples in the Tang Dynasty do not engage in production and only rely on believers for worship. Instead of losing taxes and refusing to accept corvee, monks own countless Temple properties, driving a large number of good people to work for the temple, and even usury like "Xiangji kitchen".

Buddhist temples can be compared with palaces in beauty and luxury.

In Li's opinion, it's no wonder that a hundred years later, Tang Wuzong will order to destroy the Buddha. These Temple monks are too greedy and have their own way to die.

Therefore, Li forgets to worry that whether to go to Tianzhu to learn Scriptures or not is of no significance at all. Even if Xuanzang spent 14 years retrieving scriptures from Tianzhu, what could he change?

What's more, since he didn't see the monk's name in the history books, it's obvious that his journey to the west is bad. Even if Li forgot to worry about getting the customs clearance documents for him, it didn't work much.

Following the caravan of Bai Mo, we can only reach Kucha, and there are tens of thousands of miles of long journey after that.

Although Li Qieyou doesn't like Buddhism, he has great admiration for Wenzai monk. This great monk who can cheat is definitely a strange man.

This time, we can pull all the seven family owners with five surnames and seven hopes off their horses. Monk Wenzai has made great contributions. However, Li Qieyou's proposal to give him a lot of gold to practice in the Tang Dynasty was rejected by monk Wenzai.

It is Wenzai's unswerving belief to follow Xuanzang's footsteps in the West.

In this regard, Li forgot to worry and couldn't persuade him. He could only wish the great monk a safe journey in his heart.

"Amitabha, thank you Huxian uncle." monk Wenzai smiled back.

Li forgot to worry and motioned to Niu Wu on one side to send a package: "master, here is one hundred liang of gold. Give it to the master as money on the road. Please don't refuse."

Monk Wenzai still shook his head and refused with a smile: "it has saved the poor monk a lot of strength to go to Kucha with benefactor Bai's caravan. The customs clearance documents sent by Huxian uncle have made the poor monk very grateful, and how dare he ask for more. Please take back the gold. I have enough food and drink."

Li forgets worry and persuades again and again. The stubborn monk still refuses to accept the gold, so he can only give it up.

"So, master, take care all the way. I look forward to meeting you again in Chang'an city."

Monk Wenzai said, "Amitabha, Huxian uncle, take care. I'll go."

The people stepped onto the hunchback lying on the ground. Bai Mo gave a whistle. The camel grew up and walked slowly to the west along the official road.

In the camel's bell, Bai Mopeng waved goodbye to Li forgetful. Looking at the figure of the people slowly away, a melancholy mood poured into his heart for no reason. Li Qieyou suddenly remembered a song and opened his mouth and sang it loudly.

"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green..."

This farewell by Li Shutong is sad and feminine. There is no banquet that never ends. I don't know when I met here.

Although the tune of this farewell song sung by Li Qieyou sounds very strange to the people of Tang Dynasty, the meaning of farewell and missing in the song is obvious.

"The ends of the earth, the corners of the earth, and friends are half scattered..." in the song, monk Wenzai turned back slightly and made a one handed Buddha salute to Li forgetful on his hunchback

After a song "farewell", the camel team has gradually disappeared from the official road. With a long sigh, Li forgot to worry, cleaned up his mood, and greeted Niu Wu and the episode behind him to return to Chang'an city.

Monk Wenzai's insistence on traveling westward made Li forget his worries and sigh. Limited time, boundless dust, living with fate and living in the same world.

Passing near Dongshi, Li forgets to worry about Kong Yingda's restaurant. He happens to want to drink again, so he simply leads Niu Wu and others straight to Kong's restaurant.

After getting off the horse in front of the restaurant, the doctor recognized Li forgetful at a glance, quickly and politely greeted him and led him to the elegant room on the third floor.

Li forget you asked the doctor to prepare wine and vegetables for him. In the elegant room, except Niu Wu stayed with him, other episodes were sent by Li forget you to drink and eat by himself. Don't worry about him. Today he plans to get drunk.

He didn't know where his melancholy mood came from today. Speaking of it, neither Bai Mo Peng nor monk Wenzai had deep friends with him and couldn't talk about deep feelings.

But today, looking at the camel team, he thought of monk Wenzai and Lin Daniu. I'm afraid they will never return. He felt uncomfortable and just wanted to drink.

The doctor of the restaurant soon brought the wine and vegetables, and Dr. Li Qieyou summoned a singer to play the piano and sing songs for them.

He and Niu Wu sat opposite by the window, listening to the soft melody of the singer, and drank the wine. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he forgot the sadness of seeing him off in Changting.

When he thought of his plan and operation with the beautiful boss, he not only cheated a large amount of gold from the hands of five surnames and seven hopes, but also took a bad breath in his heart, cleaned up all the seven aristocratic family owners and drove them out of the chaotang hall. Li forgets worry and feels proud and happy again.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but face the northwest and respectfully offered monk Wenzai a glass of wine.

At this time, I heard that the doctor of the restaurant attracted a guest and sat in the elegant room next door. Soon, the voices of those people came.

The elegant room of the restaurant is only blocked by a screen. Naturally, there is no sound insulation effect. Even if he and Niu Wu don't want to hear the voice next door, they can hear it very clearly.

Li Qieyou just picked up a glass of wine and sent it to the entrance. When he heard the conversation in the elegant room next door, he almost didn't spray out all the wine in his mouth
