Chapter 446: Li Jue of the Jinchi Presbyterian Church, Master Daoji leaves Leshan Monthly Pass]
As the gateway to Shuzhong, Hanzhong County is now divided into two parts. The north side naturally falls into the hands of the Qin Dynasty, and the south side is completely held by the thief Liu Bang.
And Hanzhong County has already been filled with detailed works of the two armies, and there is really no need for temptation.
On the contrary, Liu Bang's current base camp, Shu County, has outstanding people and beautiful places. I think those monks from the West gather here.
Li Jue planned to go to Shu County in person to see who the monks from the West were and what abilities they had.
The center of Shu County is naturally Chengdu, and at this time, Chengdu is naturally not as prosperous as later generations. It has outstanding people and is still run by Liu Bang for a huge crowd.
In particular, Liu Bang received some help from gods and Buddhas, and with the defeat of the overlords of Western Chu and the defeat of various anti-kings, their defeated soldiers and generals all took over some people and defeated soldiers to surrender.
This has led to a huge population replenishment for the first time, and most of the six counties in Shu also have a large population.
In addition, with the support of Xiao He, Cao Shen, Chen Ping and others over the past decade, Liu Bang also respected the principle of building walls and accumulating grain, constantly building high walls, accumulating grain, and expanding the population.
Not only was the defeat of Jiangdong this time, but their population increased. In the past 10 years, Liu Bang has also continuously promoted intermarriages under his rule, and treated them as pigs and wanted to have children.
Therefore, the population in Shu actually broke through the historical high, and the population of Chengdu exploded after the defeat in Jiangdong, and nearly 2 million people broke out.
In this era, such a population is really rare.
As a result, Chengdu became as prosperous as Xianyang. Even because of some gods and Buddhas, the whole Chengdu looked even more prosperous.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there are more than 10 temples and temples inside and outside Chengdu, and there are still many pilgrims and believers coming and going between these temples and temples.
Li Jue had already entered Chengdu, but at this time, he gathered all the laws and powerful divine thoughts in his body, without emitting a trace of it.
I just worry that there are experts in Chengdu who can see his existence, so he is like an ordinary young ranger at this time.
After Li Jue arrived in Chengdu, his spiritual sense was temporarily unavailable. If he wanted to get enough news, he naturally went to restaurants with many goons.
When he arrived at the Yulin Tavern, Li Jue was about to walk in, but was stopped by the tavern's clerk.
"The visitor stopped. The tavern was full. I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Li Jue frowned and looked at the hall inside the tavern. There was a huge table still empty.
“Isn’t there any place there?”
Paotang's face changed slightly, "That is Lord Chen Ping's position. He would come here to drink and have fun every month on the first and fifth day of the month. The table No. 7 is his favorite position. Every time he is on the first and fifth day of the month, he will be free."
Li Jue said: "If this is the case, I should have gone in and sat in that position."
Seeing that the eyes of Paotang were full of doubts, he smiled and explained: "My Lord Chen Ping and I are old friends in your mouth."
As he said that, he turned away the hall and entered the hall directly. It was not enough for others to have shocked and weird eyes, so he sat down at table 7.
I dare not offend the hall, so I quickly report to the shopkeeper.
Soon, an old man came out of the back hall, looked up and down, and Li Jue bowed, "I dare to ask where you came from, and whose surname is, so I can ask the young man to report to Lord Chen Ping."
Li Jue said calmly: "No need to report it. If he comes on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, it should come. I will meet him at that time."
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and his eyes were full of doubts, "Are you really a friend of Lord Chen Ping? There are not ten thousand or eight thousand people in this world called Chen Ping, but there are only one left prime minister Chen Ping in Chengdu. Is the one I know is Lord Chen Ping?"
Li Jue sighed: "It's true that things are different and people are not enough to stop everything. I didn't expect that Chen Ping of the past has become the left prime minister of Shu."
This is not a random sigh, but a feeling of feeling.
After all, he first met Chen Ping and recommended Chen Ping to Prince Fusu, but Prince Fusu did not pay any attention to it, which led to Chen Ping feeling that he was treated lightly and left the Qin Dynasty.
After Chen Ping left the Qin Dynasty, he joined Xiang Yu's camp first, but found that Xiang Yu had Fan Zeng in power. Earlier, he had disagreements with Fan Zeng, so he turned to Liu Bang.
After coming to Liu Bang's rule, Chen Ping felt that his talent could be displayed, so he naturally spared no effort to offer suggestions to Liu Bang.
Not only is he outstanding in military affairs, he is also a world-class political and national.
Although he was born in Mud Legs, Chen Ping was inherited from ancient times. It is said that he received a letter from an old Taoist under an ancient bridge, and formed a skill that shocked the world and made ghosts and gods.
Even if you are not a god, you are better than a god.
Because of Chen Ping's various magical powers and various tricks, Liu Bang entrusted him with important tasks and supplemented the position of Left Prime Minister.
Chen Ping would always take one or two days to take a break from his busy schedule to come to the Yulin Tavern in Chengdu. There are often raiders here, which would be great if he could get one or two talents online.
In fact, some rangers often take this opportunity to show that they surrender to Chen Ping's disciples.
This makes Yulin Tavern often have a hot business, especially on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month, which is often full.
However, no matter how arrogant and domineering these rangers are in their daily lives, they will pretend to be calm when Chen Ping appears.
Just like Li Jue, he pretended to be an old friend and sat down at Chen Ping, is truly unique.
The shopkeeper was also unsure whether Li Jue was Chen Ping's old friend. Many rangers looked up and down, and their thoughts were more prone to each other. They always doubted how this young man, who seemed to be in his early 20s, could be as good as a big man like Chen Ping.
"Amitabha, this little brother doesn't look like a local, but he is very noble. I think he is a famous nobleman."
Li Jue turned his head and saw a young bald monk, but wearing tacky clothes. He looked like a wealthy young man, but he shaved his hair.
He ignored this inappropriate monk, but asked the shopkeeper to give all the wine and meat as soon as possible.
The shopkeeper dared not neglect, and he didn't know who this person was named, and he couldn't tell whether this person was Chen Ping's old friend.
But he still has the eyesight, and it can be seen that this person's attitude and temperament are extremely uncommon, so he dare not neglect it.
When the rich monk saw Li Jue ignore him, he was not angry and sat down next to him.
He also took out a bottle of Feitian liquor in his hand and laughed: "When I see that you are a noble person, I have a bottle of Feitian liquor that has been treasured for many years here, and I am willing to drink it with you."
Li Jue then glanced at the rich monk and said calmly: "As a monk, can you drink alcohol and eat meat? Moreover, this Feitian wine comes from Qin, and people from Shuchuan can also drink it?"
A light flashed in the eyes of the rich monk, "It seems that you are from another place and want to seek wealth in Shu?"
Seeing that Li Jue stopped talking, the monk Fugui continued, "I haven't introduced myself yet, so I won't mention the name of the layman. I only became a monk three days ago when I became a monk at Guanyin Temple and was given the name of Jinchi by the master."
Li Jue's face was a little strange. He looked at the wealthy monk deeply, and secretly reached out to calculate.
This monk Jinchi actually joined forces with the black bear spirit to steal the old monk Tang Monk's cassock during Journey to the West.
However, it is said that Elder Jinchi in Journey to the West has only lived for more than 200 years, and at this time there are at least 500 years left before the real Journey to the West has begun.
To be honest, it is impossible for this elder Jinchi to live for so long.
The only thing worthy of praise is that Elder Jinchi lived for a long time, but during Journey to the West, he introduced himself that he had lived for more than 200 years, which was to deceive Sun Wukong and Tang Monk.
But I think it is possible to be brothers with monsters like the Black Bear Spirit, and to make the Black Bear Spirit respectfully call him the eldest brother. If he only lived in his 200s, it would be unreasonable.
The reason why he introduced himself was that he had lived for more than 200 years was probably because he was afraid that he was too shocking. In fact, he lived several hundred years older.
The monk in front of him turned out to be the famous elder Jinchi, which made Li Jue a little interested because he saw some shining points in this monk.
The seemingly ordinary and imposing monk Jinchi actually often burst into his eyes, and there was a magic power in his body.
This monk is not simple.
Li Jue came to Chengdu to investigate the situation of the monk who sent down to earth on Xitianling Mountain. Elder Jinchi is likely to be involved.
Elder Jinchi continued: "I have only been ordained for three days, and the wine and meat pass through the intestines. The Buddha's heart is also the teachings of the masters."
Li Jue's eyes flashed and he frowned, "Who is your master?"
Jin Chi said: "I am a monk from Master Daoji, Leshan outside Chengdu. I believe you don't know Leshan. Now the entire Leshan has become the asset of my Buddha. King Liu Bang of Han attaches great importance to Buddhist culture and plans to build the entire Leshan into my Buddhist holy land..."
