White Bone Monkey King

Snapped!

As the gavel fell in the hands of the storyteller, the final word came.

There was a burst of cheers in Xu Ji Tea House.

This case has so many twists and turns that it makes people addicted to listen to it.

On the other hand, there was a guest sitting alone at a table in the corner against the railing. It seemed incompatible with the noisy surroundings and was quiet.

This man was wearing a long plain white coat with a black and green brocade belt around his waist. He had thin skin and tender flesh, and rosy blood. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family.

But he has short hair, like a monk.

A monk but not a monk, a scholar but not a scholar, he was sipping Mingqian tea in his hand and listening attentively to the story.

The waiter in the teahouse walked up to the young master with a pot of tea and said enviously: "Master Jin An, you are the storyteller today."

Several black lines hung from Jin An's forehead: "He is eight feet tall, eight feet wide, and has a majestic body. It is a square eight-sided copper horn hammer with wet blood stains on his hands."

"I am a human being, not a Founder!"

The god is eight feet tall and eight feet wide. Jin An finally has a deep understanding of the folk rumors that are getting more and more outrageous.

The young man continued to flatter you, "All this is not because of your bravery, Mr. Jin An. Therefore, it is reasonable for the people to spread the word about you, Mr. Jin An, to be more and more magical."

"You have become famous throughout our entire Chang County this time."

"I have heard that many wealthy daughters and the eldest ladies of the Yamen are very fond of you, Mr. Jin'an. They send servants everywhere to inquire about you, hoping to invite you to have a drink with them. Appreciate the most lively Qingming temple fair of the year in Chang County on Qingming day one month later."

Hearing this, Jin An became interested.

Of course, he was not interested in the fair-skinned, beautiful and temperament rich girls or ladies from official families, and wanted to covet their bodies.

Instead, he was interested in the most lively temple fair of the year in Nachang County.

This was the first ancient gathering he encountered after traveling through time.

It will definitely be very lively then.

Whatever you say, you have to see the grand occasion.

He used to like traveling, scenery, and various places of interest, otherwise he wouldn't have gone all the way from the south to Kunlun Mountain for a self-driving trip.

Jin An asked the teahouse boy: "Is this temple fair famous in Chang County?"

The waiter in the teahouse refilled Jin An's cup of cassia seed tea and said proudly: "Speaking of our temple fair in Chang County, it is famous for hundreds of miles around. There will be many young men, talented men, and boudoir ladies from all over the world. We have come from afar to attend the temple fair."

I don’t know whether it’s due to acclimatization or the change of seasons before and after Qingming. During this time, Jin’an was a bit angry and inflamed due to deficient fire, so he fell in love with drinking cassia seed tea in the teahouse.

Cassia seed tea has the effects of dispelling wind, clearing the liver, improving eyesight, moistening the intestines and laxative.

As soon as the waiter in the teahouse talked about the Qingming Temple Fair, he continued to introduce it with a proud look on his face: "Speaking of our Chang County, there is a thousand-year-old tree, which is a green money willow."

"No one knows the exact age of this tree. It is older than my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, and its trunk is thicker than five or six big men hugging each other. It is recorded in the county annals alone for a thousand years. It is a sacred tree in Chang County."

"This thousand-year-old green money willow tree has lush branches and leaves, and the green shade covers the sky like a treasure umbrella. The tree is tall and straight. Its fruits are beautiful and strange in shape, like a bunch of copper coins, so it is also called the copper money tree or the money tree. It has become famous far and wide. The copper coin fruit From September to April of the next year, they will be hung on the tree, swaying in the wind, and unique. From a distance, it looks like the sky is filled with shining copper coins, so it attracts so many talented people and beautiful women to come to Chang County to participate in the Qingming Temple Fair."

"Because only on the day of the Qingming Temple Fair, the Man Mo Temple will be open to the public for tourists to view the sacred tree. In order to protect the sacred tree, it is usually closed to the public."

After listening to the teahouse boy's introduction, Jin An suddenly became very interested.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder."

"At the Qingming Temple Fair in a month, I will definitely see such a magical money tree."

Jin An smiled and rewarded the boy with a few copper coins, which immediately made him beam with joy.

After the teahouse boy put away the reward, he seemed even more attentive: "Speaking of this thousand-year-old green money willow sacred tree, there is also a legend. It is said that people who have seen the sacred tree will attract the God of Wealth to the door and attract wealth. precious."

"This matter has become more and more mysterious in the past ten years. Every year, there are reports of people getting rich overnight. I heard from the elderly in my family that this thousand-year-old green money tree was not so miraculous before. It was just an age-old tree. It’s just a bigger old tree. It was only after one night ten years ago that the bronze money fruits of the Qingqian Liu changed into ancient copper money fruits overnight. The saying that the sacred tree can attract the God of Wealth to the door and attract wealth began to slowly spread in Chang County. Spread slowly."

"So every Qingming temple fair in the past ten years or so has attracted more and more tourists from other places to participate in the temple fair every year. They all come with the dream of getting rich, especially the wealthy businessmen."

"The temple fair only happens once a year, Mr. Jin An, don't miss the opportunity."

The waiter in the teahouse became more and more excited as he talked about it. In his words, the folk temple fair turned into a strange and interesting story.

"Then you are rich?" Jin An asked.

The waiter in the teahouse smiled coquettishly: "That's not true."

Jin An smiled and he understood.

Folk rumors cannot escape the three laws of true fragrance:

It is said...

It is said that……

like……

Jin An's eyes were filled with interest as he watched the waiter turn away with the teapot in his hand.

A magical night?

Bronze coin fruit turned into ancient copper coin fruit overnight?

Does it mean that this thousand-year-old tree has undergone a genetic mutation?

People only know that animals can undergo genetic mutations, and the common ones are albinism, albino foxes, albino apes, albino cows, etc...

But plants are also alive.

Plants, like people, breathe and breathe in the air of heaven and earth and have spirituality.

Plants hurt too.

A thousand-year-old tree with genetic mutations?

Hanging with ancient copper coin fruits?

Jin An became interested.

…

It has been two days since Jin'an arrived in Changxian today.

That day, he came down the mountain after burying the Taoist priest under the old pine tree, and then he was amazed. He actually met the scholar and the old horseman on the official road who were about to go to Chang County. Because the road was muddy and difficult to drive after the rain, I planned to stay in a nearby village for one night, but unexpectedly I happened to encounter a murder case.

After he solved the case, he was favored by the magistrate of Chang County and hosted a banquet. At the banquet, he also asked the wealthy squires who attended the banquet to raise three hundred taels of silver for him and reward him. Jin'an immediately realized that this magistrate of Zhang County was a Parents who do not take advantage of the people's support are good officials, fair and righteous, and do not take kickbacks.

Things are cheap in this world.

There is not much housing pressure, and there are no war-torn refugees. People have plenty of money, so inflation is not serious.

Three hundred taels of silver reward.

Probably a modern bonus of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

Ever since he experienced coffin temples, trumpet urns, and Taoist Qi surgery, Jin An knew that this world was different from the world of the ancients in his impression. So he abandoned the luxurious and corrupt life of fine clothes and fine food from the very beginning, living in drunkenness and dreaming, with little beauties and maids warming the bed every day.

He has been sitting in this teahouse for the past two days.

Not only listening to books, but also listening to anecdotes from various places and understanding the customs and customs here.

It is also a rough geographical map of the world that can be understood through the comings and goings of merchants.

Therefore, Jin An, a regular customer, was already familiar with the owner and the boy of this teahouse.

Jin An initially thought he had returned to ancient times, but in the past two days he discovered that the customs, customs, and human history here were inconsistent with any dynasty in history.

Kangding Kingdom, he had never heard of this ancient dynasty.

…

Day, gradually getting sleepy.

Night falls.

The soldiers at the city gate began to prepare to close the city gate and no longer let anyone into the city.

After nightfall today, the Changxian County Government Office was not peaceful, but rather lively. A major case of private concealment of gunpowder has occurred in Chang County. This case is no longer under the jurisdiction of the small Chang County. Today is the time for the superiors to send someone to personally inquire about the details of private concealment of gunpowder.

Just in Chang County, Magistrate Zhang, the county magistrate, the chief minister, and all the government servants and police officers were waiting anxiously in the county government office. The banquet was set up and the servants had already cooked the food twice, but they still didn't wait... Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, the sound of panicked footsteps broke the night.

A government official and two jailers hurriedly entered the county government office. The two jailers especially had pale expressions on their faces, as if they had been frightened.

"Lord County Magistrate, this is bad, people are dead! People are dead!"

"Li Dashan, who hid the gunpowder secretly, is dead. He, his death is so strange and evil! You should rush to the cell and have a look. The prisoners in the cell are now clamoring to change places. Evil things are happening in the cell. Got it!"
