I have a chat group.

Chapter 199 Feng Yuan was not beaten to death

[Gao Yuliang, something seems to be wrong with this. I just asked my wife, Teacher Wu, and she said that the Taoist monk Bojiao and the bald monk were the Great Master Mangmang and the True Man Miaomiao, true hermits with a celestial spirit. They had a conversation with Nuwa’s Heaven-Mending Stone at the foot of the Qinggeng Peak on the Wuji Cliff of the Great Wilderness Mountain. According to the book, they created the Dream of the Red Chamber in order to convert the Heaven-Mending Stone. How come they have become a toad and a lame dog now?]

According to Hong Luomeng's novel and interpretation, the bald monk and the lame Taoist priest are both existences between truth and falsehood, illusion and existence.

He is similar to the real characters Zhen Shiyin and Jia Yucun in the two plots.

The task of these two people is to help the main and deputy golden hairpins to overcome tribulations and gain experience.

That is to let them experience the tribulation of love.

It’s just that they also have one true self, namely, Master Mangmang and Zhenren Miaomiao.

When the monk and the Taoist priest first appeared, the original text said that they were "born with extraordinary bones and different spirits."

The monk and the Taoist priest at this time were not illusions, but real hermits with immortal qualities.

Even Zhi Yanzhai's comments say "This is a true image, not an illusion."

But then they transformed themselves into a bald monk and a lame Taoist priest.

This has also become their identity in the secular world.

But now the identities are different. The bald monk has become a toad, and the lame Taoist has become a lame dog. This is completely different.

After Gao Yuliang finished saying these things, everyone started to check the things in Dream of the Red Chamber.

【Lin Daiyu, that's it. I thought they were here to save me and that they had something to do with me, but when I started, one of them turned into a toad and the other turned into a lame dog. I was so scared. What on earth is going on? I'm not afraid of anything else, but I can't stand toads! It's so disgusting!】

Lin Daiyu's strength is indeed very strong, and through the sharing of the wooden clone, she also has experience in killing people. Also, because of the ancient times, she has no psychological resistance to these things. However, when it comes to fighting against the toad, Lin Daiyu is really no match, because it is too disgusting.

The important thing is that the toad that can turn into a human is not a toad the size of a fist, but a toad comparable to a domestic dog.

The toad was as big as a dog and looked even bigger than a millstone. It was really disgusting.

This is definitely not some great master or true man.

But a real monster.

At this moment in the world of Red Mansions, the bald monk and the lame Taoist are in a dilapidated temple, where they are cleaning their wounds.

"Monk, there is definitely something wrong with Lin Daiyu. Her strength is not normal."

"Master Taoist, I also know that Lin Daiyu is not normal. If she was normal, why would I, a monk, go to find you?"

"Monk, this time the loss is not small, the old Taoist destroyed an incarnation, this lame dog is useless, and you, this toad is also useless!"

The lame Taoist's figure shook, and a lame dog was knocked out of his body. Then the immortal Miao Miao Zhenren appeared in the ruined temple again. There was a hazy white light shining on his body, and the whole person was floating in the air, as if he would be blown away by the wind.

"Taoist, you don't want this body anymore. You should know that your real body won't last long."

The bald-headed monk looked at Miao Miao Zhenren and sighed, "It is rare to have a body that can bear our true body. This lame dog is already a rare Dharma body. It's a pity that you don't want it."

"What a pity! What a pity! Monk, do you know that our body has revealed our identity? We have transformed from animals into humans and become monks. We will be arrested by the Huaying in the world. We are no match for the court in the human world. We can't keep this body! Otherwise, we will be unable to move forward!"

Taoists are always more rational than monks. They have already done the things that monks do. Therefore, compared to monks, they know more clearly what the state of a secular dynasty will be like when it is fully active.

So the lame Taoist priest simply abandoned his physical body and prepared to find a new body.

"Taoist, you have to think carefully. A body is not something you can find casually. What they need to find is a special body that can accommodate our real body. Our phantom body has been broken, our Dharma body has been injured, and only our real body is left. If there is any problem with this real body again, we can only return to the illusory world!"

Although the bald monk did not know how powerful a secular dynasty was, he knew that their illusory body had been broken and their Dharma body had been damaged. If they could not find a new Dharma body, then they would be finished and would have to return to the illusory world of Taixu.

If the two of them return without completing the mission in the Realm of Illusion, they will just be a monk and a Taoist in the Realm of Illusion, and no longer be Mangmang Zhenren or Miaomiao Dashi.

"It's easy to find a Dharmakāya that can contain our true body. When we first came to the mortal world, we didn't know much about the human world, so we couldn't find a Dharmakāya. But now we have been wandering here for so many years, is it possible that we can still find a suitable Dharmakāya?"

The Taoist took one look at the monk and immediately understood that this fellow really had not found any Dharma body for himself. Then, looking at the fat body of the toad, he immediately understood that this fellow must have been only satisfying his own appetite and had not thought about finding a new Dharma body for himself.

"Monk, monk, you will die from your mouth sooner or later."

The Taoist priest then flicked his sleeves and turned into a rainbow of light and flew into the sky. He then went to Yangzhou, locked onto a beggar who was already dead, and dived straight in.

The beggar trembled all over, opened his eyes, and jumped up. Then he waved his hand, and all the dirt on the beggar flew off his body and fell to the side, turning into a fist-sized mud ball. With another wave of his hand, the beggar's tattered clothes turned into a yellow Taoist robe. Although it was not gorgeous, it looked dignified and formal. The Taoist waved his hand and a water mirror appeared in front of him. He looked at himself with satisfaction, reached out and took a wooden stick from the side, and then shook the wooden stick and it turned into a crutch. Then the Taoist walked out staggeringly.

This beggar, like the dog, is lame. After coming to the world, the only body Mangmang Zhenren can choose is a lame one. This is the control given to him by God.

Just like the bald monk, if he wants to stay in the world, he must be bald.

The reason why these two people chose a dog and a toad was because the dog was lame and the toad was a liar.

At that time, the two of them had just descended to the mortal world and could not find a suitable Dharma body, so they could only choose a dog and a toad to create an illusory body for them.

As a result, when he met Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu shot him, shattering his phantom body and injuring his Dharma body. This forced Mangmang Zhenren to find a new Dharma body for himself.

However, it is a good thing to be able to find a human being as his Dharma body. At least it can allow Mangmang Zhenren to exert six or seven levels of magic power. Unlike the previous Dharma body, he still needs to maintain an illusory body and can only exert three to five percent of his magic power.

"Everyone says that being a god is good, but fame and fortune are unforgettable..."

After having such a human body, the lame Taoist walked on the street with a crutch, singing praises to the gods. Now the Taoist's appearance is much better than before.

He looked different from the previous Taoist priests and the previous beggars. He could be seen as a completely new person. This way, he did not have to worry about being wanted by the government. So the lame Taoist priest was walking casually on the street, holding a fish drum and leaning on a crutch. Then he saw the scene where Dai Ba Wang wanted to buy Zhen Yinglian.

"You've really come early, it's better to come at the right time, go!"

However, when they saw this scene, they applauded and laughed, then smeared the mud ball they had rubbed off before twice, and then waved it at Dai Ba Wang. Xue Pan and others felt dizzy, and then the scene in Dream of Red Mansions where Dai Ba Wang beat people to death appeared again.

"Okay, okay, okay. I don't know what happened to the previous alliance between wood and stone, but as long as this golden marriage is not broken, it's fine. Attendant Shenying, your good marriage in this life has come."

Then the Taoist priest beat the fish drum and sang "Goodbye to the Gods" and left. No one paid any attention to this Taoist priest along the way, as if they didn't see him. Only Xue Pan seemed to have heard the voices, but he didn't care at this time. Instead, he ordered his servants to pull Feng Yuan away. He didn't go up to beat him. This scene was somewhat different from that in the Dream of Red Mansions.

However, the lame Taoist did not see all these. He only saw that he had cast a spell to blind Xue Pan, and Xue Pan had already sent people to capture Feng Yuan.

So the lame Taoist left leisurely, singing and talking about a perfect match.

But he didn't know that because of the Lin family's affairs during this period, the four major families became a little cautious. Because, openly, the family of the Salt Inspector Lin had been wiped out, and at this time, everyone in each family was given a death order not to cause trouble outside.

So even though Xue Pan had already spent money to buy Xiangling, Feng Yuan was there looking for trouble and insisted on buying a slave without any basis. Xue Pan did not have him beaten to death. Instead, he had Feng Yuan pulled away and talked to him about reason.

Logically speaking, it was the unjustly killed Feng Yuan who first took a fancy to Xiangling, but he did not sign a sales contract with the human traffickers, nor did he put down a deposit, so this incident was as if it had never happened.

As for the dull bully Xue Pan, he was bought with real money and went through the formal procedures and had a sales contract, so Xue Pan simply took out the sales contract and arrested the human trafficker, and the three parties verified the facts.

"Look here, you bastard. I bought your slave with real money. What proof do you have?"

Xue Pan not only let Feng Yuan see it, but also let everyone present see it. Everyone saw that Xiangling was truly bought by Xue Pan with real money to be his maid.

There are confirmations from all parties, and a sales contract recognized by the government cannot be forged.

"But I said three days ago that I would redeem Xiangling. The human trafficker can testify to this."

Feng Yuan also pulled the human trafficker over and asked him to testify for him. The human trafficker knew that many people in the trafficking industry had seen this, so he could only nod.

"But Mr. Feng didn't sign any contract with us, nor did we have a formal negotiation. He didn't even keep the deposit. So according to the rules of the pawnbroker, we can find other people to do the deal. Mr. Xue took out real money after he saw the item. As a pawnbroker, we will sell it to whoever pays. How can we not make money?"

The human trafficker also felt aggrieved. He admitted that Feng Yuan came first, but the first-come-first-served principle was based on money and contract. You have neither money nor contract, not even a deposit, so why should they keep you as your employee?

"But isn't it a first come first served thing? I've already said that I must marry Xiangling. We agreed on this verbally."

"Even a verbal agreement must be based on a deposit. Sir, we have to abide by the rules in our brokerage business. You didn't pay a deposit, and you didn't sign a contract. Why should we keep Xiangling for you? This is against the rules! If you had left a deposit of even a penny, we would have acknowledged it. But since you didn't leave a single penny, how can we make an agreement with you?"

"That's right. If you want to buy someone, you have to leave a deposit. You don't even have a single cent for the deposit, so how can they leave it for you? I'm bidding real money on this. The sales contract is in my hands. What do you want to say? Mr. Feng, I know you're just a rotten-assed bunny. You want to buy a girl, but I wonder which bunny you're buying it for? Hahaha!"

Xue Pan was also a man who hung out drinking and had heard of Feng Yuan's name. He knew that he was a rabbit man. He didn't believe that the other party fell in love at first sight and wanted to buy a maid for him as a wife. In Xue Pan's opinion, Feng Yuan must have hooked up with someone. Who was he going to give Xiangling to?
Feng Yuan was so angry that his face turned pale. "How dare you slander someone's innocence?"

"You want to slander someone who is innocent? Do you dare to say that you are not a bunny? You, Feng Yuan, were very famous back then. When you were only fifteen or sixteen years old, you shouted out that you were a bunny and didn't like women. You pissed off your own parents to death. How could a person like you fall in love at first sight with a girl like this? Even if you can undo what you said, I can't believe it."

Although Xue Pan was a street stalker and not a good person, he had one good thing in him, which was that he was filial to his parents. Although his father died early, he was truly filial to his mother. Therefore, after learning that Feng Yuan had angered his parents to death, he looked down on this man and felt that such a person deserved to die. If it weren't for the unstable situation in the south during this period and his family not allowing him to kill people at will, he would have wanted his men to beat Feng Yuan to death.

And before, he ordered his men to take action because he actually wanted the servants to beat Feng Yuan to death. However, those servants had received orders from their master that they must not cause trouble for the master's family during this period, otherwise all of them would be rolled up on straw mats and thrown into a mass grave.

This saved Feng Yuan's life and prevented Xue Pan from becoming a living dead.
