Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 268 The Little Monk at Jinshan Temple

The motorcycle roared.

Xu Wang flew directly onto the official road.

It is called an official road, but compared with later generations, it is just a dirt road that looks wider and smoother.

Not all official roads lead into villages, especially mountain villages.

Before building an official road, the government would first select the route.

Usually a relatively flat terrain is chosen to reduce the difficulty of construction.

Like modern roads, building roads in ancient times was also a huge project.

Laying the base, filling with small gravel to level the surface, and laying the clay layer are all necessary.

Drainage ditches also need to be dug.

The official road that Xu Wang is currently taking is a piece of engineering work that was built a hundred years ago, but it is still usable.

But recently the new project has completely failed.

Demons and monsters are rampant in this chaotic world, and officials are corrupt.

The common people are living in dire straits.

They can’t even fill their stomachs, let alone spend a lot of effort to build bridges and roads.

The silver had just been peeled off, and before it could land on the project, it had already been taken away by the officials.

There is no money, but the road must continue to be built.

How to do?
The people can only suffer.

It is no wonder that people’s livelihood in the world today is in decline and everything is desolate.

Even though it is a village, it should be a prosperous area because of the existence of the official road.

It was also deserted at this time.

Following the path pointed out by the woodcutter, Xu Wang walked along the official road into Jinshan Village.

After looking around, I finally found a small shop with a wine sail.

"Hey! Sir, welcome! Please come in!"

The waiter heard the noise outside, and before he saw Xu Wangren, he ran out shouting enthusiastically.

In this world, it's good enough to be able to make a living.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to do business now.

He doesn't want to be fired by his employer with an excuse.

Normally, I have to find something to do when I have nothing to do, especially nowadays when it is rare to have guests.

The waiter ran out of the shop quickly and saw Xu Wang who had just got off the motorcycle.

I was stunned for a moment.

But then he reacted quickly.

In the past few years when the world was better, thanks to the convenience of the official road, this waiter had seen many nobles coming and going from the north and south.

Both his knowledge and character are pretty good.

Although Xu Wang's motorcycle was unheard of, his scholarly attire still made him trustworthy.

"Young Master, are you going to stay overnight or stay in a hotel?"

The waiter bent over, smiled, and followed Xu Wang into the store with him.

Xu Wang looked around the store and found that business was indeed slow, with only one person sitting there eating.

So Xu Wang also found a seat by the window and sat down, tapped the table lightly, and ordered a hero set meal: "A pot of good wine! And a few pounds of cooked beef."

It has been a while since I traveled through this world. I am hungry, so I eat something to replenish my energy.

Xu Wang did not forget that every time he traveled through a world, he would try the local food like traveling.

"Okay! A pot of good wine! A few pounds of cooked beef!"

The waiter turned around and shouted loudly towards the kitchen.

The same shouting could be heard from the kitchen, indicating that it was heard inside.

So the waiter smiled and said to Xu Wang: "Sir, I will not disturb you for now. I will go and feed your horse."

"go Go."

Xu Wang waved his hand casually and continued to look around.

He also took selfies using his personal terminal, looking like a tourist.

This is the good thing about being able to travel through the heavens and all realms.

The scenery that could only be seen in books and movies in the past can now be experienced in person.

The food we ordered was served very quickly.

He wasn't kept waiting long.

A man who looked like the store owner came to Xu Wang, carrying a large plate of beef and a jar of wine and put them down next to him.

"Sir, here comes your jar of good wine and five pounds of cooked beef. Do you have any other instructions?"

Xu Wang waved his hand: "That's all. That's it."

"Okay, sir, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went back to the counter and calculated the bill with a sad face, which became more and more worrying the more he calculated it.

Xu Wang has happily started eating his first meal in the world of “A Chinese Ghost Story”.

The waiter outside the door is in a difficult situation.

He can feed the horses and clean up for the guests.

But this strange-looking iron horse in front of him was the first time he had seen it.

I don't know how to feed him either.

"Hey, this, this, there's no bridle either."

The waiter was so worried that he could only put his hands together and bowed to the horse in front of him: "I beg you, Master Horse, I don't know what you eat. How about you go to the stable first?"

"Haha, the donor is interesting. How can you beg for mercy from a lifeless thing? It's like a stone on the roadside. It has no spirit and will not respond to you."

The waiter had just finished his greetings when a clear, childish voice came from beside him.

When I looked back, I saw that it was a young monk wearing a plain monk robe.

The little monk was thin and looked only about eleven or twelve years old.

But the waiter knew him.

This is a young monk from the nearby Jinshan Temple, his Buddhist name is Baiyun.

I just don’t know why you came out of the temple again today, and alone.

The waiter waved his hands speechlessly: "You sound nice, but this is the customer's iron horse, I have to take good care of it."

"Om-!"

At this moment, the engine of the Mobile Pegasus sounded, and it automatically straightened its front end, retracted its supporting legs, and stood upright.

The noise was so sudden that it scared the waiter and the little monk Baiyun nearby.

However, after the waiter was frightened, he soon became ecstatic again.

This thing seems to understand human speech!

He doesn't care about any monsters or ghosts, as long as he doesn't lose his job.

So the waiter said to Mobile Pegasus with a big smile on his face, "Master Ma, this way please."

"Wait! That looks like a monster! You'd better not get close to it!"

The young monk Baiyun beside him had a solemn look on his face. As he spoke, he had already taken off the long string of prayer beads from around his neck.

"Go away, you monster, where did you come from? Don't talk nonsense. This is the mount of a scholar, don't ruin our business."

The waiter didn't care about anything else and led the mobile Pegasus to the stable.

The Mobile Pegasus also slowly followed him and stopped in the stable.

Although later the waiter was troubled by the issue of feeding the horses.

But the hay is right in front of him, so if the horse is hungry, he will probably eat it himself.

The waiter was half relieved.

When he walked out of the stable, he saw the little monk Baiyun still standing at the door of the store. The waiter immediately said angrily, "Why are you still here? I've already told you that it's not a monster. You don't need to get rid of it at Jinshan Temple."

"no."

The young monk Baiyun had put his rosary back on. He touched his bald head, put his hands together and bowed deeply to the waiter: "I was ordered by Brother Fahai to go down the mountain to gain experience and eliminate demons. It's just that as a monk, I didn't bring any money, so I came here specially to beg for alms." The waiter: "..."

He wanted to say no.

But he opened his mouth and swallowed back his harsh words, pouted his lips and muttered, "I can't make the decision. Come with me and ask the shopkeeper."

Little Monk Baiyun smiled and said, "Okay, thank you very much, benefactor."

Seeing this, the waiter curled his lips again.

I didn’t expect that in this world even monks have no money.

Bai Yun followed the waiter into the store and at first sight he saw Xu Wang pretending to be a heroic hero standing by the window.

Although Xu Wang was dressed like a scholar.

But there is not the slightest trace of bookishness in him, and he does not fit in with the surroundings.

It immediately attracted Baiyun's attention.

If Xu Wang didn't have any demonic aura, Bai Yun would have almost thought that it was a transformed demon that had appeared from nowhere and infiltrated the human village.

Bai Yun's gaze was also noticed by Xu Wang, who had a high perception attribute.

He looked up and saw that it was a young monk, so he smiled and raised the wine jar: "Come and drink wine and eat meat!"

Bai Yun was terrified and immediately put his hands together and said, "I am a monk and I am not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat."

Xu Wang thought about it and nodded: "That's right, minors can't drink alcohol, so you should eat meat."

When the young monk Baiyun saw Xu Wang being so familiar, he could only smile bitterly.

He had lived in Jinshan Temple since he was a child, and had never seen anyone like Xu Wang, so he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Master Baiyun, how about I ask the kitchen to prepare some vegetarian noodles for you?"

At this time, the shopkeeper behind the counter spoke.

Bai Yun immediately turned around and bowed to the shopkeeper with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you, shopkeeper."

After saying this, he took out a wooden bowl from the bag on his back and handed it to the waiter next to him.

The waiter went straight into the kitchen.

The shopkeeper looked at Baiyun and smiled, "No need to thank us. Your Jinshan Temple has been exorcising demons and monsters over the years to keep us safe. For decades, you have never asked for a penny.

It’s just that the world is not doing well now, the villagers are suffering, and there is no incense in the temple. So we should apologize.”

The young monk Baiyun was moved by what he said and bowed solemnly: "Buddha and Bodhisattva will remember your kindness."

After saying that, Bai Yun turned around and found a seat to sit down.

Xu Wang casually threw a piece of cooked beef into his mouth and watched the scene with great interest. It felt like he was watching a costume TV drama.

very interesting.

While eating beef, Xu Wang took another sip of the wine in the jar.

Because Xu Wang doesn't drink much normally.

So I don't know if this thing can be considered a good wine.

But Xu Wang knew that he still couldn't get used to the drink.

In comparison, he prefers drinking Coca-Cola.

Hmm...Nukaku is good too!

Thinking of this, Xu Wang took out a bottle of Nuka-Cola from his waist bag, bit open the cap, and gulped down half of the bottle.

"Ha~ Only the smell of radiation is exciting."

Xu Wang burped comfortably.

This attracted the attention of the young monk Baiyun next to him.

With the [Biological Atomic Reactor], Xu Wang can absorb all the nuclear radiation, and he is not afraid that the things brought from the radiation world will bring harm to the people in this world.

But other people can't drink Nuka-Cola.

That's definitely asking for trouble.

If you drink one bottle, you will definitely get radiation sickness.

Noticing that Baiyun had been secretly looking at him, Xu Wang moved the Coke a little further away and waved his finger at the little monk: "Nonono! This is Nuka-Cola, you can't drink it."

Bai Yun was a little embarrassed. Although he knew Xu Wang had misunderstood, he was a rookie and didn't know how to deal with people, so he could only look away awkwardly.

Seeing this, Xu Wang took another bite of beef, then pinched his sword finger and used his magic to contact Ning Caichen again: "Caichen! Caichen! I know where I am now. I'm in Jinshan Village. Do you remember?"

Xu Wang suddenly started "making a phone call", which attracted Bai Yun's attention again.

He did not feel any fluctuation of magic power, nor did he feel any fluctuation of spirit.

But his intuition told him that Xu Wang was not suffering from hysteria, he was really communicating with someone across the air.

This instantly aroused Bai Yun’s interest!

Senior Brother Fahai was right, there are so many talented people in this world.

I didn’t expect to meet him just after coming down the mountain!
Ning Caichen, who was far away in Guobei County, thought about it for a moment after hearing about Jinshan Village, and then he became delighted: "I know! I've heard of this Jinshan Village. The Jinshan Temple near them is very famous!"

Xu Wang was shocked when he heard this: "Holy shit! There really is a Jinshan Temple?!"

"Golden Mountain Temple?"

When Bai Yun heard about his own temple from Xu Wang, he perked up immediately, his ears perked up, and his little body involuntarily tilted a little.

After Ning Caichen was happy, he said a little depressed: "But your place is very far from Guobei County. You have to go all the way south to Hangzhou, where my hometown is.

Then go south to reach Guobei County.

But this is really too much trouble for you, why don't I just go north and go home."

After listening to Ning Caichen's detailed explanation, Xu Wang casually said, "No need, I can get there quickly by bike. Even if something happens to delay me on the way, I will be there tomorrow at the latest.

If there are no delays, I can be there in about four hours.”

Ning Caichen was shocked after hearing this: "Is it really that fast?! Is it some kind of magic?"

Xu Wang said proudly: "This is science. I'm going to talk about it slowly. You'll understand when we meet later."

Just kidding, the maximum speed of the mobile Pegasus is 380 kilometers per hour, comparable to high-speed rail.

It can also ignore most terrain.

How long would it take to just move a province's territory north and south?

Now I know where I am and my destination.

The voice pack of Ning Caichen on Gaode Map is now available.

After hanging up the call with Ning Caichen, Xu Wang continued eating.

The vegetarian noodles of the little monk Baiyun also came up.

Xu Wang took a special look at it and found that it was indeed very vegetarian, and the noodles were real noodles, not pancakes or something.

"Boss! Someone is eating and drinking for free!"

At this moment, the waiter suddenly let out a loud shout.

There weren't many people in the store at that time.

The waiter's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xu Wang and Bai Yun also joined in the fun.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the customer who had been sitting alone in the corner.

Seeing him eating all kinds of meat and fish, I thought he was a rich man.

After all this time, it turned out that he had no money and just wanted to have a good meal on purpose.

"Damn it! How dare you come to my place and eat a free meal!"

The shopkeeper was obviously very angry.

The curtain was lifted, and two big men holding wooden sticks ran out from the kitchen.

Obviously the cook here.

Seeing this, the guy who ate the free meal immediately put his hands on his head, squatted on the bench, and allowed himself to be beaten by fists, kicks and sticks.

He screamed in agony but did not run away.

Xu Wang felt like he had just watched another good show and grabbed a piece of cooked beef and put it into his mouth.

He had just chewed it with relish, but his expression suddenly froze!
Finished!

He also doesn't have the money of this world!
