Chapter 232: This is no ordinary blind man

Gyeonggi Prefecture is located on the west bank of Tongzhou Basin of Tongtian River. In fact, the entire Gyeonggi Prefecture seems to be embedded in a corner of Tongzhou, so in Dazhen, Tongzhou is also nicknamed Zhili Prefecture.

Although the official Dazhen court did not have an explicit endorsement in this regard, it was actually similar.

On this day, in the Changle Mansion City in Tongzhou, officials came rushing to the gates of the yamen, the city gates, and even the notice walls on the streets in some prosperous areas.

The Tianyue Restaurant on ** Street is one of the most famous restaurants in the city. There are many shops around, including but not limited to dining, teahouses, cloth, groceries, etc., which makes ** Street appear extremely prosperous. It is the most prosperous in Changyue. street.

At this time, it was close to dinner time. It was the time for people to come and go next to the restaurant. There were also some beggars sitting in the corner opposite the restaurant, waiting for good-hearted people to give alms.

Now that the sun is hot, beggars can't go to places under the broken temple bridge to beg for food during the day. In this area, a shadowy area in the corner of the wall has become a luxurious resting place.

It's just that seven or eight beggars of different ages here are willing to face the scorching sun, and use a few rags or broken fans and umbrellas to shade the sun, while a small shadow in the corner is an old beggar curled up and sleeping there. A burst of snoring.

"Go away, go away... Go away, don't get in the way!"

Several officers with swords strode up from a distance, the two in front opened the way, the two in the back held a large roll of yellow cloth, and the other carried a bucket.

"Go away, go away, say you, don't block the sign wall."

The first two officials came, stretched their legs and kicked the sleepy beggars a few times, driving them away a little, and looked at the one in the other corner, frowning not too much. He ignored it, and said to the two behind him.

"Just post it here."

The officer carrying the bucket almost nodded and stepped forward, took a brush handle from the bucket and stirred it a few times, and then swiped back and forth on the wall with the paste in the bucket.

Some beggars next to him looked at the buckets in the officials' hands and swallowed frequently. They knew that the paste was actually made from rice paste and could be eaten.

"Okay, post it."

The officer at the back began to spread the yellow cloth, and the two colleagues on the side quickly helped to pull the corners. Then the three worked together to stick the upper corner of the yellow cloth to the wall, and then stick it down a little in the direction of the yellow cloth until it was unrolled. The entire rhubarb cloth was plastered on the notice wall.

Seeing the officials' actions, many passers-by and wealthy businessmen in brighter clothes stopped to watch.

"Hey, this notice is based on a yellow cloth, this is a yellow list!"

"Yeah, is there something big going on in the capital?" "You'll find out after you read what was written."

"It's almost posted, this is... a recruitment list?"

After the official posted the notice, he looked around without explaining much, and left with his belongings. The people next to him gathered around a little more. Some older people looked at the bulletin and read it out word by word. .

"The emperor is all over the world: I have established the country for two hundred years, and this is the prosperous age. The whole world is served, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the emperor's birthday in the autumn of Yiyou..."

The older man stroked his beard while reading, and occasionally paused to sort out the following words to make his reading smoother.

"...This edict is hereby issued, calling on the world's most talented people to participate in the grand event. On the occasion of the Nine Heavens and Ten Meetings, Immortal Fate and Magical Laws will gather together to congratulate Dazhen and the Son of Heaven!"

After the old man finished reading, he took a few breaths around before he started talking.

"Is this about to hold the Immortal Dao Conference?"

"Hey, I didn't read what the Yellow List said, this is a land and water conference."

"The capital is very lively now, maybe there will be immortals there!"

"That is to say, if there are really gods, shouldn't we also go and see, what if the gods take a fancy to me and teach me my fairy law?"

"Dream, you're just like a pig's head!" "What's wrong with being ugly, do gods still look at their faces?"

"The title of Master that day is so majestic..." "What's the use of that broken title, a thousand taels of gold is the real guy!"

The people on the side were talking a lot. Some people were excited and they just listened to it. Some people were already discussing going to the capital to join in the fun. Anyway, it must be more interesting than temple fairs and the like.

But for the beggars in the corner who have problems with food and clothing, this kind of event is still too far away, everyone is listless, but the old beggar who was sleeping soundly in the corner opened his eyes.

'Now at this juncture, Emperor Dazhen held a water and land dharma meeting. Maybe the so-called gathering of immortals will turn into a dance of demons? ’

But after thinking about it, the old beggar thought that he couldn't, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

"Hoo~~~~"

The old beggar yawned and sat up, rubbed his eyes, pinched out the mucus from the corner of his eyes, rubbed it in his hands a few times, and then bounced off.

"Grandpa Lu, why aren't you sleeping? I haven't had enough to eat today."

Seeing that the old beggar woke up, a little beggar who looked like a boy of eleven or twelve years old said something to him. Seeing that the old beggar was about to get up, he hurried over to help him.

"Lu Bo is awake?" "Lu Bo, drink some water."

"I still have a stutter. I just picked up two pieces of pastry, not sour!"

When the old beggar woke up, the beggars beside him were all greeting and caring. The former just took a bamboo tube and took a few sips of water, then took one of the cakes and stuffed it into his mouth, then he waved at the others.

"Okay, okay, keep it for yourself, old beggar, I'm not hungry yet."

After saying this, the old beggar stood up, chewed the cake in his mouth, and stretched out comfortably. There were some people around who were still watching the Yellow List, and some people looked sideways at the group of beggars who were making some noise.

When the old beggar finished stretching, he waved at the little beggar who first asked him.

"You'er, let's go shopping in the capital, shall we?"

The little beggar stood up with a broken ceramic bowl and looked at the Yellow List over there. He wondered if Grandpa Lu heard the person reading the Yellow List while he was sleeping, and the answer was rather tangled.

"The capital city... it's so far away..."

"Hey, do you want to go or not?"

The old beggar put his hand into the hole in his clothes, scratched the itch under his armpit, squinted with one eye closed, and asked the little beggar with a smile on his face.

"Think! Of course I want to go to the most lively and stylish place in the world!"

"Haha... Then go!"

The old beggar stretched out his hand and patted the little beggar on the back, and then half pushed him forward together.

The little beggar took a few steps and looked back. All the beggars behind were watching him and the old beggar go away, and suddenly realized that he was leaving with Grandpa Lu?

It was also at this moment that the beggars behind him called out to say goodbye.

"Rubber take care!" "Be careful on the small tour!"

"Uncle Lu, look at Xiaoyou!"

The old beggar smiled and looked back, waved his hand, and casually said "take care of yourself" before continuing to lead Xiao You towards the front of the street.

The group of beggars looked at their backs, and finally sat back where they were, waiting for the leftovers and other alms this afternoon.

"Grandpa Lu, what do they do when we leave Uncle Zhang?"

The old beggar seemed to have a lot of fleas all over his body. He scratched the front and the back with one hand. Hearing what the little beggar said, he muttered for a while.

"They don't depend on us to support them. They are better at begging than you. Besides, a few of them have both legs and hands now, and there are no abscesses on their bodies. It's not difficult to do serious work, so don't do it. Worry about it."

Whether it is a monk or a capable person in the mortal world, a few charming demons, or a liar and a magic stick, there are not a few people who rush to Gyeonggi Prefecture after learning about the Land and Water Dharma Conference like an old beggar.

Even if there are not some evil spirits coming, just thinking about the appearance of a pair of swindlers and gangsters gathered in Kyoto "to celebrate the grand event", to a certain extent, it can be regarded as "a group of demons dancing wildly".

Although Tongzhou is next to Gyeonggi Prefecture, Changle Prefecture and Gyeonggi Prefecture are separated from each other after all. The old beggar and the little beggar wake up while begging for food while rushing on their way. Anyway, the weather is not freezing right now.

Such a hurry is not too slow, but it took a month and a half to walk from Changyue Prefecture to Gyeonggi Prefecture on two legs.

In the early morning of this day, two beggars, one old and one small, lined up outside the city gate in a long queue waiting to enter the city. Because they slept next to the city gate last night, they woke up this morning before the city gate was opened. At that time, two beggars were at the front of the line.

A farmer who was carrying a load in the line behind couldn't help but leave the distance between him, because the two beggars not only had a strong smell, but the old man would tickle from time to time, for fear of having lice on his body.

The old beggar yawned and looked at the front and back of the line a few times. When he saw the line getting longer and longer, and sometimes he saw some guys in the line who looked like "skilled people", he couldn't help laughing out loud. .

"Whoosh... cluck cluck..."

"The city gate is open!"

As the soldiers in the city opened the city gate, the passage of Gyeonggi Province was revealed to those who wanted to enter the city.

Originally, beggars were not allowed to enter the city gate, but in the eyes of the little beggar, although the old beggar was disheveled and sloppy, he pretended to be very imposing when confronted by the gatekeepers.

The sentence, "I am here to participate in the Land and Water Dharma Conference by edict." The words were full of vigour, and he did not evade the gaze of the soldiers, which made the soldiers let go after hesitating.

The capital is indeed very lively. In the past, it was not comparable to the Chang Yue Mansion, not to mention today's day, which makes the little beggars directly dazzled.

But even so, after the two beggars wandered around the city, they still did their jobs and prepared to go to a suitable place to sit and beg for food. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"Hey! It's not bad here. You can smell the vegetables on both sides, and you can see pedestrians from all sides."

The old beggar pulled the little beggar and happily walked to the corner opposite the teahouse. There were several restaurants nearby. The two sat down and the little beggar took the opportunity and put the broken bowl in front of him.

Seeing that the old beggar was about to take a nap again, the little beggar looked around curiously.

'The capital is really busy and lively, there are not many beggars! ’

Looking around, I saw a person on the table at the entrance of the teahouse opposite, who was watching me calmly with a tea cup. That person was like a special magnet, which immediately attracted all the attention of the little beggar. force.

There was only a distance of four or five feet across a street that was not very wide. The little beggar's eyesight could completely see this man's appearance. He seemed to be a learned gentleman, but his eyes were half-open. Below it can be seen that it turned out to be a pale color.

"Grandpa Lu, there seems to be a blind man watching us at the teahouse..."

"Hey, silly boy, why are you blind looking at us, don't blame yourself for that!"

"But I really feel that way..."

The old beggar scratched its itch, sat up and glanced in the direction of the little beggar's line of sight.

Tranquil and calm, the eyes have no waves, the powerless magic light is revealed but the body is in harmony with nature, looking for a sense of freshness to arise, both in the eyes and the heart.

The old beggar glanced at the little beggar beside him, and seemed to mumble in a daze.

"You'er... This is no ordinary blind man!"
