Chapter Eighteen: Monks and Heroes Are Friends (1/3)(2/2)

With his eyesight, the waiter could tell that this was a great family, so he hurriedly moved the best fodder for the horses. The steward (similar to the housekeeper) of the Sujiao family also went to the cabinet and briefly talked to the shopkeeper.

He cleverly concealed the true origin of the family and handed over a banknote worth 300,000 silver to the shopkeeper as a deposit.

This is a large inn about six or seven feet high, with five floors and no less than three hundred guest rooms, large and small. It is made of gray stone and brown trees, and is reinforced with lime water mixed with clay.

It is colored with earthen paint. The overall appearance of the inn is brown. Only the sloping roof made of green tiles is blue-grey. There is a wooden pole about six or seven feet tall at the door of the inn, with a yellow bottom hanging vertically on it.

The store flag with black characters and four large characters in Cangluo script reads "Donglai Inn".

It was originally the off-season for welcoming guests, and the inn seemed very deserted. But at this time, Su Jiao Weijie and his family came here. Suddenly there were more than a hundred guests in the inn, and it became lively in an instant.

After determining who was the head of the family, he ordered the chef to prepare two plates of local snacks, and cut several seasonal fruits into fruit plates, which were then delivered to Su Jiao Weijie's guest room through the waiter.

Got hit.

The rooms of Su Jiao Weijie and his wife were arranged in the middle of the third floor, next door to the eldest daughter's room, and the rooms of the three brothers were arranged next to their parents and younger sister, so as to serve as a warning.

At this time, it was getting dark outside the inn. After all, this place is close to the exit. There are few people walking in the morning and evening. This is in obvious contrast with the bustle inside the inn. The surroundings are quiet, and occasionally there are people in the dense forest not far away.

There were one or two birds chirping, and then there was the sound of leaves blowing in the wind. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the originally dark night sky, instantly illuminating the environment within ten miles, and then the sound of thunder also reached the front of the pass. Not long after,

, the heavy rain fell from the sky, and the raindrops hit the sandy soil fiercely. In response to the sentence, the rain hit the beach with thousands of holes. Even after a quarter of an hour, the rain did not seem to have weakened at all. Seeing the raindrops rising after falling to the ground,

Fortunately, the roof has been carefully designed by craftsmen. Even if the rainwater hits the blue tiles, it will make a crisp sound, but the guests living on the top floor will not hear even a trace of noise.

At this time, Su Jiao Weijie, his eldest son and his second son were invited by the shopkeeper to come to the first floor to watch the rain. As for why they came to the first floor to watch the rain, there was naturally a reason. There was a special scene in Tianyaoguan today.

This scenery is not common, but the origin of the name Tianyaoguan is closely related to it.

There is a canyon on the north side of Tianyao Pass called "Yangju Gorge". It is said that this canyon is more than 1,700 feet deep. There seems to be a stream passing through the bottom of the canyon. It seems that there are only bones of wild beasts and rocks. There used to be many

Explorers went to the bottom of the valley to explore, but no one climbed up alive...

Then there is a wonder in this canyon, that is, when the sun sets in the west, the golden light of the sun will appear in the deep canyon without any light. Even if you are several miles away from the canyon, you can still see the golden light coming from the canyon.

The refracted light, and this is not the most special thing. If it encounters rainy weather at this time, this golden light can turn into seven-color rainbow light, and this light will float above the canyon, as if a colorful floating bridge has been built between the canyons.

The colorful floating bridge that appears above the valley is no less than a hundred feet long, and its height is also thirty feet high. Standing in front of the valley and looking up, it looks like a heavenly gate hanging above your head.

But regardless of whether the golden light or the colorful pontoon can only exist for a quarter of an hour at most, the canyon will return to the original darkness again.

It is said that this colorful floating bridge can carry people safely into deep valleys, but no one seems to have tried it so far. After all, this is so unreasonable that even adventurers will not make such an attempt that lacks common sense.

Today happened to be the last rays of sunset and a rainy day, so the guests in the inn gathered outside the first floor, where there was a specially built circular rain-viewing hall, where everyone waited to watch this rare beauty in the world.

And at this moment, there was a small wooden house in the oasis of Yong'an, and there were two men in official clothes? It seemed that they were about twenty-five or six years old, with long red lips and white teeth, and slender

The eyebrows and long eyelashes are obviously carefully decorated makeup. The original skin color can no longer be seen, only the pale color painted with makeup. Because he is an adult, he has been crowned, but he is different from ordinary men.

, the two wore a square feather crown hat on their heads. The forehead of the crown hat was inlaid with a green cat's eye stone. The back side of the hat was higher than the front side and was used to place the bun. A silver swift hairpin was placed horizontally.

The hat is fixed through a bun. The two are wearing a pink one-piece skirt with a stand-up collar and cut-sleeves. The skirt is different from the women's. The left and right sides have been deliberately cut out from the lower hip area. The skirt will be visible when walking.

The trousers and skirt are covered with white gauze clothes on the outside. This white gauze clothes goes up to the shoulders, down to the insteps, and reaches the wrists on the left and right sides. The golden Cangluo text is embroidered on the chest, from top to bottom, from left to

On the right hand side is written "Pure clothes serve as envoys, and filth does not exist." This is the official uniform of the Deputy Envoy of the Department of Clean Clothes. Then, under his feet, he is wearing a pair of red hollow shoes with a triangular front end. Both of them are equipped with "assistant swords" on their waists.

, at this time, the two of them were taking shelter from the rain in the wooden house and waiting for someone.

[Source world weapon spectrum]

1. Zuodao (excellent quality): A finely crafted weapon with a slightly forward-curved handle, three and a half inches in length, gray in color. The blade is two feet and three inches long and weighs two kilograms and four taels. Apart from the fact that it is relatively expensive to make,

There is nothing special about it, it is a weapon worn by the Deputy Envoy of Jingyi Division or Jingling Division.

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, the passengers in the Donglai Inn had already begun to eat in the dining hall on the second floor. At this time, everyone in the inn was talking about what they had seen, heard and felt during the journey. Cups were being exchanged between tables, and the lights in the building were brightly lit.

, lively like a market. The rain outside the inn gradually weakened, but did not stop. The rare peaceful night at this moment was disturbed by the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. A large group of people wearing rainproof hats and

A man in white wearing a leather raincoat was riding towards him on a fast-paced horse. Water splashed under the horse's hooves. Several people in the horse team carried long night lanterns to illuminate the road ahead for the horses. The group of people hurried on, even if they passed the border.

He didn't even stop for a moment at the Donglai Inn in front of him and ran straight over. However, when one of the cavalry passed by the inn, he raised his head and glanced secretly at the second floor of the inn, then turned back and continued on his way.

.

After dinner, Jiao Mengxuan was chatting with her third son and eldest daughter in the room on the third floor, while Suqiao Weijie and his eldest son were concentrating on talking about something in the corner of the first floor of the inn. At this time, the first floor of the inn had only

There were only five or six people left, and it seemed a little deserted. Even the waiter was secretly hiding aside and lazing around. The rain outside the window passed through the tiles on the roof, turned into raindrops, and finally fell to the ground. The ticking sound seemed to have a rhythm.

People are not tired of it. At this time, they heard a knock on the door, but the sound was not loud. At first, everyone thought it was the sound caused by the wind blowing on the door, but after three or five knocks, the younger brother was also woken up from his doze.

, I saw him rubbing his eyes and walking towards the store door impatiently.

Second brother: "Come on, come on, why are there still guests on this rainy day? I'm so annoyed."

The first half of the sentence is very impatient, and the second half is mumbling and cursing in my heart.

A creaking sound came, and the two wooden doors opened to the left and right, and a monk was seen standing at the door. There was only one inn in front of the gate, and there was no good shelter from the rain around. It happened to rain so heavily just now.

But except for a few raindrops on the top of his head, there were no traces of rain on the monk's clothes. As soon as the second brother saw the monk's clothes, he knew that he was a walking monk, and the kind with no money. He also thought about the good dream he just had.

Being disturbed by this monk, I felt very unhappy for a moment, so I blocked the monk in front of the door with no intention of letting him in.

Second brother: "You monk, you came at the right time. It's raining so heavily. Why are you still wandering around? It's already dark. Why don't you go find a temple to rest? Wander around here and be careful.

The wild beast ate you as a midnight snack!!”

He said with his chin raised.

Monk: "Donor, please don't worry about the poor monk. As long as you have the light of Buddha in your heart, you will not be afraid of the dark night. Besides, the poor monk's return date has already been determined, so he should not be afraid of misfortune."

Said with a smile.

Second brother: "I don't understand what nonsense you monk is talking about! But let me tell you, I don't give alms here, let alone live in vain. Look at your poor appearance, I don't even bother to care.
