Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 53: A hundred golds save the turtle
bsp;Su Peng logged into the game and went online on the second floor of Haikeju.
Walking out of the second floor, he happened to see a notice on the first floor. The merchant ship officially boarded the ship at three o'clock. Su Peng settled the room fee, walked out of the Haikeju Inn, and headed to the port to prepare to board the ship. Go boat.
As soon as he went out, Su Peng saw eight or nine young knights with weapons walking in front of him, but it was Huo Sijie and his group. This group of young knights had nothing to do, and most of their fathers were They are people who have gained some fame in the rivers and lakes. At this time, they are all just starting out. They plan to gain some fame, but they don't know the direction, so they are wandering in the rivers and lakes. The direction they are going at this time is also the direction of the port.
Su Peng had nothing in common with them and did not want to walk with them, so he slowed down. At this moment, Su Peng suddenly discovered that the downcast middle-aged scribe also walked out of the inn. People also saw Su Peng and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Su Peng still had a good impression of this scribe. He seemed to be quite dignified and had extraordinary eyesight. Maybe the conversation would be less boring. Su Peng walked over and said, "Hello, sir. It’s Jiangning Su Peng. Mr. Rijian looks majestic and seems to have something beautiful in his heart. I admire him a lot... Sir, why don’t you go to the port to board the ship?”
After hearing this, the scribe smiled faintly and said: "That's ridiculous. I am Fu Yi from Liangzhou, a down-and-out scholar. How dare I be praised like this? But I am going to the port, so please come with me."
"That's very good." Su Peng nodded, and walked toward the port with the scribe Fu Yi.
The two of them walked and chatted. Su Peng chatted with Fu Yi, but he felt that this man was gentle, knowledgeable and insightful, and he was a good chat partner. Fu Yi felt that Su Peng seemed to be knowledgeable in his conversation. Very novel, every time he has unique and novel opinions, he also has a good impression of Su Peng.
After going back and forth, the two of them felt that the conversation was very speculative, and their relationship became much closer.
The two of them were walking here when they suddenly saw a lot of people gathered in front of them. Su Peng had very good eyesight and took a look and said: "Huh? That's not the Dakong Temple in Futu Mountain that I took a quick look at at Haikeju the day before yesterday. Master? The people around me seem to be the wealthy businessmen I saw that day. What are they doing there?"
Fu Yi also saw these people and said, "You might as well come up and have a look."
Su Peng nodded, and the two slowly walked over.
As I walked over, I realized that there were quite a lot of people around here, maybe dozens of them. Huo Sijie and a group of chivalrous young ladies were also gathered around to watch the fun. Su Peng and Fu Yi walked in and saw In the center of the crowd, there was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked a bit cunning and sharp. He was wearing shabby clothes like a fisherman. He was arguing with people. In front of him, there was a huge turtle huddled in its shell. Among the children.
The turtle was so huge that if a person stood on the shell, it would be able to crawl away with it. The shell was also extremely thick, a touch of blue, textureless, and almost as high as a person's calf.
"What a big turtle. I don't know how long it has lived." Someone said among the onlookers.
In the crowd, the group of wealthy businessmen were arguing about something with sharp-mouthed and sharp-looking people.
After listening for a while, Su Peng probably understood that this man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks claimed to be a fisherman. He caught a giant turtle while fishing in the sea. He thought it was a rare commodity, so he took it to the market to sell it, but there was no one there for a long time. To buy his turtle, the man became anxious and took out a knife and said he wanted to kill the turtle, bleed it, and make soup for himself. At this time, the Zen master of Dakong Temple in Futu Mountain and many wealthy businessmen happened to be passing by. The Zen master of Dakong Temple felt that the turtle had already After all the years, it is not easy to survive till now. The hawker asked the hawker to let the turtle live, but the hawker refused, so the wealthy businessmen who were "fans" of the Zen master started to quarrel with him.
At this time, I just heard the hawker shouting: "I fished this turtle, it belongs to me. I want to kill it to drink soup and eat meat. Why do you stop me? You fished it Did you come up?"
"You hawker, why are you so ungrateful? The Zen master of Dakong Temple teaches you to be kind, but why can't you listen to anything? You really have no wisdom!" A wealthy businessman pointed at the nose of the fisherman and hawker.
"Hmph! You are all wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong. You don't know my difficulties. How many times a year can I eat meat? Mercy as food? No!" The fisherman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shouted loudly.
"Amitabha..." Zen Master Baimei, who is said to be from Dakong Temple, recited the Buddha's name at this time and said: "All living beings are equal, and this turtle has some sins and must suffer this disaster? I look at this turtle, I am afraid that it is not easy to live for a hundred years, and I cannot bear to suffer such a disaster... Such a life should be released into the sea and given a way to survive."
"Master is compassionate, compassionate and kind to all things. He is indeed an eminent monk!" Around the Baimei Zen Master, a group of wealthy businessmen couldn't help but praise each other. Su Peng heard Fu Yi say that these people are all from near Binhai City. Merchants, who often go to the river to do maritime trade, are all very wealthy. I don’t know how they came into contact with the Baimei Zen Master of Dakong Temple a few days ago. They seemed to be fascinated by the Zen Master’s lectures on Buddhism. These people not only gave the Baimei Zen Master a living in the sea. Not only renting the courtyard, but also listening to Zen Master Baimei's sermons every day, it was as if he was serving that Zen Master's disciples.
"You, that hawker, don't know what's good or bad. Zen Master Dakong Temple has spoken. Why don't you take this opportunity to form a good relationship and release this big turtle?"
Among the heroes and heroines who were watching, some couldn't help it. Dakong Temple in Futu Mountain had a special status in the martial arts world. Although it was not stated clearly, it was implicitly the leader of the righteous way. The disciples of Dakong Temple went to that righteous sect. They were all treated with courtesy. Those chivalrous heroines were accustomed to being influenced by their fathers, and they had long been on the side of the Baimei Zen Master. At this time, they spoke to help.
After hearing this, the fisherman and hawker immediately stopped working and said: "You guys let go of the turtle that I worked so hard to catch? Are you showing that you are compassionate? Is compassion a waste of money? I want to be a good person... Okay, take the money, buy my turtle, and release it yourself!”
"This man is so arrogant!" The Xia girl who had spoken just now suddenly felt angry and uncomfortable and said.
Huo Sijie stood among the group of chivalrous young chivalrous girls, but he thought about it. He thought that it was not easy to meet the disciples of Dakong Temple in Futu Mountain. Judging from the appearance of this Zen master, he was afraid that he was of high seniority and studied on his own. When I first came of age, what I was striving for in the world was reputation, and making friends with upright masters was also a way to become famous. I actually wanted to make friends with this Zen master, so why not sell one now and pay some money to buy the turtle.
Thinking of this section, he couldn't help but step forward and shouted: "How much does your turtle cost? I'll buy it!"
"You? Can you afford it?" The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked vendor shouted immediately after hearing this.
"It's just a turtle, how much can it be sold for?" Huo Sijie smiled proudly. He was also quite confident about his wealth. This time he traveled around the world, his uncle privately gave him fifty taels of gold for expenses. Ten taels of gold, if calculated according to Su Peng's method, is equivalent to 750,000 yuan. In this game of agricultural society, it is a very strong value!
"I want a hundred taels of gold!" The hawker with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was singing. This shout was quite loud, and the reverberations echoed throughout the surroundings.
"One hundred taels of gold?"
As soon as this sentence was said, the surrounding voices fell silent, but it didn't take long for it to arouse a flood of discussion.
"This man is crazy about money. It's just a broken turtle. He wants a hundred taels of gold? He has no money and is going crazy!"
"If I were this Zen master, I would slap him. This is blackmail!"
"Let's see, I think if the Zen master was truly compassionate, he would be able to give him a hundred taels, otherwise it would be false compassion."
"Where's that young hero? He seems to be very tough-minded. Can you give me a hundred taels of gold?"
Huo Sijie's face was a little red at this time, and his breathing was a little heavy. He thought that the vendor was selling this turtle for only a few dozen taels of silver, which could not last more than one tael of gold. It was a good deal to buy it and make friends with the eminent monks of Dakong Temple. But I didn’t expect that this crazy fisherman and hawker would ask for a hundred taels of gold!
Although I want to make friends with the Zen master of Dakong Temple, the price of one hundred taels of gold is too high, right? If you have that kind of money, you might as well go directly to Dakong Temple to donate, and you can also get a merit plaque, and your name will be engraved on the merit tablet. Huo Sijie is completely reluctant to part with a hundred taels of gold. Besides, his entire net worth is only fifty taels of gold, how can he get it? ?
"You dealer, you are crazy about money!" Seeing Huo Sijie's defeat, those heroes and heroines couldn't help but get angry and cursed at the fisherman and hawker.
"Are you crazy? A broken turtle costs one hundred taels of gold? I don't think it's worth a hundred big coins!"
Among the wealthy businessmen, some also cursed at the fisherman and hawker.
The fisherman hawker rolled his eyes and said: "What's the matter? I still think the price is too low. Haven't you heard that an old turtle gives birth to pearls? If an old turtle lives for more than a hundred years, it may give birth to pearls in the ribs of the turtle shell. Pearl, this turtle is probably over a hundred years old. If you really kill it and dig out the pearl, a hundred taels would still be cheap!"
After hearing this, the group of wealthy businessmen were speechless for a moment. They all lived near the sea. They had indeed heard similar legends. If they really wanted to dig out a few night pearls, one hundred taels of gold would really not be able to stop them.
"Amitabha... The poor monk asked the donor to let the turtle go. How could he be coveting some treasure? He just pitied the turtle..." The Baimei Zen Master recited the Buddha's name again, and then looked at the big turtle. His eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed extremely sad.
When those wealthy businessmen saw the sad look of the Zen master of Dakong Temple, they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Su Peng and Fu Yi watched around for a long time. Seeing this scene, Su Peng had a playful smile on his face and said to Fu Yi on the side: "Mr. Fu, do you see any tricks?"
"A true gentleman watches chess without speaking." Fu Yi smiled slightly and said to Su Peng.
After hearing this, Su Peng thought that Fu Yi was indeed a discerning person, so he said nothing and continued watching the show.
"Master is sad! How guilty I am! I own fifteen taels of gold! Everyone pays to buy this turtle and release it to Master!"
At this time, a wealthy businessman suddenly shouted.
After hearing what the wealthy businessman said, the people around him with similar wealth to him immediately woke up, and someone shouted again: "I will give you ten taels of gold!"
"I will give you twenty taels of gold!"
These wealthy businessmen, one by one, shouted loudly as if they were bidding. Of course, there were also a few stingy ones who thought about it and backed away.
"Since we are waiting in the land, how can we make the master sad? Although a hundred taels of gold is a lot, it is not a sky-high price. Why can't there be so many of us? So we collected a hundred taels of gold and gave it to the master. Release! ”
The leading wealthy businessman looked left and right and said, then turned his gaze to Huo Sijie and said, "That young hero, do you still want to pay?"
"I..." Huo Sijie couldn't help but feel a big headache after hearing this. He thought for a long time, held back the pain, and said: "I will offer three taels of gold..."
"Only three taels?" After hearing this, the wealthy businessman couldn't help but glance at Huo Sijie with disdain, thinking that you look like a dog in your clothes. It turns out that you are also a stingy poor man. He couldn't help but waved his hand and said: "Just three taels." No, you can keep it for yourself."
Then the man muttered in a low voice: "It turns out he is a poor guy. What kind of face do you have if you don't have money..."
This sentence was neither too big nor too small, but it happened to be heard by the group of young heroes and girls behind Huo Sijie. These people couldn't help but look at Huo Sijie. Huo Sijie was so angry that his teeth would bleed. If he let These companions think that they are stingy, so how can their chivalrous reputation be spread?
"I...you...you heard it wrong, I meant I offered you ten taels of gold." Huo Sijie's heart was bleeding, and he held back the pain and said.
"Okay! This knight is willing to pay less than ten taels of gold!" The wealthy businessman suddenly shouted and made friends. Huo Sijie was unable to get off the tiger, feeling resentful in his heart.
"Those two knights, won't you pay?" At this time, the wealthy businessman's eyes suddenly fell on Su Peng and Fu Yi and said to them.
Su Peng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. It was actually on him?
"Haha, you know from this outfit that I don't have much money. Let's ask this young hero." Fu Yi said with a smile, and then took a half step back to give way to Su Peng.
Su Peng suddenly became angry. Seeing that Fu Yi seemed to be a serious person, he seemed to be quite a narrow-minded person at heart. He sold himself out before they had a deep relationship, but he was not really angry. He shook his head and said: "I travel around the world and it's not easy to make money, but I feel that eating is more important than keeping a tortoise. This gold will not come out."
"He is also stingy." The wealthy businessman's expression suddenly became less enthusiastic, and he repeated his old tricks and muttered.
Unfortunately, Su Peng was adamant when he had no desire. He forced him to follow him and forced the breeze to blow on the hills. He allowed him to cross the bright moon and shine on the river. The old **** was there, and the skin on his face was neither red nor white. He pretended not to hear it.
When the wealthy businessman saw Su Peng's behavior, he thought to himself that this person didn't look big but looked like an old Jianghu. He didn't want to think about the few people over there who looked powerful but were young and powerful, so he stopped harassing Su Peng and went alone. Raising money for charity.
At this time, Huo Sijie took out ten taels of gold as if he was cutting flesh, but saw that Su Peng was "unharmed", and he immediately felt hatred in his heart. He felt that this person was hateful in the store the day before yesterday, and now he felt even more ugly. It's disgusting, and he wants to drag Su Peng into the water, saying: "That man over there, have you been watching the excitement for a long time? Don't you have any kindness? Or are you just an iron rooster? Are the people in Jiangning as ungrateful as you?"
"I from Jiangning have money and like to save those who really need help. I don't like to save turtles. But Huo Shaoxia is rich, so naturally he saves people and turtles together," Su Peng said lightly.
This statement has quite damaged the atmosphere, but the atmosphere among the wealthy businessmen was intense at this time, so Su Peng's words were selectively ignored.
Finally, the group of wealthy businessmen, plus the ten taels of gold contributed by Huo Sijie, finally collected one hundred taels of gold, and put them all in a bag. The leading wealthy businessman handed it to the fisherman and hawker, saying: "Your gold! ”
When the fisherman and hawker saw him, he stepped forward to take the money bag without saying a word, then got into the crowd in a few moments and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Baimei Zen Master finally opened his eyes, squatted down, and held up a turtle weighing dozens of kilograms with one hand.
"Okay!" Seeing the hand of Zen Master Baimei, the wealthy businessmen couldn't help but applaud.
Jianghu people like Su Peng and Huo Sijie are not that surprised. With a simple infusion of internal energy, they can lift a load three to five times their own in a short period of time. Su Peng can also do it easily. If this Da Kong It would be strange if the Zen master in the temple could not do it.
"Let's get on the boat and follow the Master to release the animals!" the wealthy businessmen shouted, and then followed the Baimei Zen Master towards the port.
"I'll go too, the sailing time is about to start." Fu Yi smiled and said to Su Peng.
Su Peng nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that this scene is not over yet. Let's wait and see what ending we can get."
With that said, the two of them also walked towards the port...
