Chapter 141
Since he agreed to Zhou Qin, Huo Yuanzhen did not delay the trouble. After preparing, he immediately set off with Zhou Qin.
This is not only helping the Holy Fire Sect, but also helping oneself.
The Heavenly Dao Alliance is powerful, and Henan Wulin has almost been operated as a solid piece, which is greatly unfavorable for Shaolin's development.
If you want to complete the system tasks, you must first disintegrate the Heavenly Dao Alliance and make Shaolin the largest sect in Henan, and then you will be qualified to compete with other major sects in various provinces.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao Alliance must fall, which will give Shaolin a lot of room for development, and at the same time, it will also pay off Luo Caiyi's debt, with the best of both worlds.
Let the eighteen new people practice the formless magic and dragon and elephant Prajna, and strive to advance to the innate realm as soon as possible.
He also refused Yichen and others' companions. Huo Yuan really didn't want to involve the sect in this incident.
The two set off, Huo Yuanzhen rode a horse and Zhou Qin rode a donkey. One day later, he arrived at the city of Luoyang.
Huo Yuanzhen sighed a little when the towering Luoyang City appeared in front of him.
If Guan Tianzhao raises troops to confront the court in the future, Luoyang will be the first to be affected. This prosperous city is about to fall into war, which is inevitable that it will be unbearable.
Now, the arrival of winter has calmed down in people's hearts again, and many people even naively believe that war will not come.
In this case, once war begins, countless people may be displaced and left their hometowns.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuanzhen suddenly felt a sudden heart. Maybe Shaolin should do something during this period.
"Donor Zhou, I want to ask, how is the grain harvest this year around Luoyang City?"
"This thing..."
Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment. He was from the world. He usually just drank and ate meat and went out to eat. He was in a good mood and threw down a large piece of silver. He was in a bad mood and slapped his butt and left. No one could stop him and never worried about food. He really didn't care much about this matter.
"Abbot, I really don't know what the harvest is. But when I see the people wearing big carts in autumn, they are all very happy. It seems that the harvest is good."
"Then are grain merchants hoarding a large amount of grain in Luoyang City?"
"Yes, I have!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Qin knew a little, "There are many grain merchants in Luoyang, and some of them have even hoarded millions of dans or even tens of millions of dans of grain, and I know several."
Huo Yuanzhen became more and more interested in listening, and said, "If I want to buy some food from these people, can King Zhou mediate for me?"
Zhou Qin immediately laughed: "What am I doing? This matter is too small. As long as the master says, I will send someone to buy you the food. Not only will I buy it for you, but I will also load it directly into a car and send it back to Shaolin Temple. The money is all on me."
Huo Yuanzhen looked at Zhou Qin with great interest: "Dharma King Zhou is serious?"
"What's wrong with this? Let me tell you how much you want to buy, what kind of grain you want to buy, and how much I want to buy. I'll send someone to do it for you. I'll go today, load the car tomorrow, and I'll set off. I'll guarantee you to send it to Shaolin Temple in Songshan within three days."
Zhou Qin's chest slapped, and he really didn't take Huo Yuanzhen's affairs to heart.
"That monk was the first to thank Donor Zhou for his generosity."
After saying that, Huo Yuanzhen jumped off immediately and put his hands together to salute Zhou Qin.
Seeing Huo Yuanzhen's action, Zhou Qin couldn't help but feel a little sweaty. A bad premonition emerged in his heart, and he hurriedly jumped off the donkey: "Abbot, this is not OK. You are the one we invited, how can you give me a gift? Isn't it just to buy some food, it's not a big deal."
"No, donor Zhou, the food I want to buy is not a little, but a lot."
"How much do you want to buy?"
Zhou Qin gradually realized that he had said something too early, and the little abbot in front of him seemed to have the meaning of a lion opening his mouth.
"I need rice, corn, winter wheat, sorghum, sweet potatoes, etc. In short, as long as it can fill the stomach, I need it. I don't know much about the price of grain. According to the current market price, I just buy a 50,000 to 80,000 taels of silver. I don't require too much essence, I just need to be able to eat and not get moldy."
"Five...50,700,800!"
Zhou Qin couldn't help but stutter, and then said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Abbot, do you know how much food can you buy for 50,000 to 80,000 yuan?"
"I don't know."
Zhou Qin was afraid that Huo Yuan had no idea, so he hurriedly explained: "That's too much, a load of grain is probably..."
Speaking of this, he found that he was not very clear, so he hurriedly said, "Anyway, there are a lot. A few dozen taels of silver are enough to buy a truck of grain. Not to mention seventy or eighty thousand taels, it is only fifty thousand taels. You can buy a few hundred cars. If you want so much grain, can you finish eating in Shaolin Temple?"
"Then just like that, buy a hundred trucks of food, please contact me for the monk, and then send it to Shaolin."
Zhou Qin said a big talk. Now that he saw that the abbot was really playing, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Abbot, you have asked me for a problem. Oh, let's do this, I need to go back and study it with King Luo. If she agrees, these hundred trucks of grain should not be a big problem. If he disagrees, then I will pay out of my own pocket and give you thirty trucks of grain to Shaolin Temple. What do you think?"
The matter was getting big, and Zhou Qin did not dare to make a decision without authorization. Of course, if he was alone in Henan, he could also give it to Huo Yuanzhen with his chest, but the problem now is that Luo Caiyi is still in Henan.
The money must be sent out by Henan branch. If he decides without authorization and orders Zhu Huan to deliver food to Shaolin, it will inevitably make Luo Caiyi have an idea in his mind. Zhou Qin didn't want to do this, so he dragged Huo Yuanzhen for a while.
If Luo Caiyi disagreed when he arrived at the place, then Zhou Qin's fate of paying out of his own pocket would be inevitable.
"Since that's the case, I thank you don't want to thank Donor Zhou."
The two of them continued to move forward, and Zhou Qin did not dare to speak, and was cautious everywhere. This was the time to ask for help. Don’t let the abbot ask for any excessive conditions, and it would be difficult to end.
After reaching the city gate, Huo Yuanzhen continued to ask: "Donor Zhou, your branch is in the city?"
"It's not in the city. Our branch is located in the west of Luoyang City, and it's an inn. Please follow me."
Zhou Qin stopped talking and ran in front of him on a donkey. Huo Yuanzhen laughed secretly and followed behind him. The two of them passed through the city and entered the city from the east gate. They left the city from the west gate and came to the west.
It is about forty or fifty miles outside the city, and the more you walk, it becomes more and more desolate. It is the junction of the two sides. An inn stands alone in the wilderness, and looks quite large. The second-story building, from a distance, has dozens of rooms. In front of the inn, a large flag flutters in the wind, with four big words "Longguan Inn" written on it.
"Abbot, our inn is in a good location."
Back at his own place, he was listless all the way. Zhou Qin, who was blackened by Huo Yuanzhen once, recovered his spirit and showed off to Huo Yuanzhen proudly. This Longguan Inn is really good. There is Luoyang territory over there. Going westward, you will enter Chang'an territory. It is a zone of three no-cost, which is very conducive to the activities of those of the martial arts and lakes.
Longguan Inn is also a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, with people coming and going, but few people know that this is actually the Henan branch of the Holy Fire Sect, which is famous all over the world.
Huo Yuanzhen smiled and didn't answer, thinking that the inn was good, but it was too far from the inland of Henan, so it was not suitable for a branch rudder, but it was very convenient to escape.
Two people rode their horses or donkeys to the inn.
There are many tall horses tied outside here, just like a car parked in front of a hotel in later generations, showing their identity.
Seeing Zhou Qin coming with a monk, the guy at the entrance hurried over to take the horse and tie it up.
Looking up at the gate of the inn, Huo Yuanzhen nodded: "No one would have thought that such a place would be the helm of your education branch."
"Abbot, please come in, King Luo is still waiting for your arrival."
The two of them entered the inn, and there were crowds of people. Many men were shouting and drinking in the lobby on the first floor of the inn. At first glance, there were sixty or seventy people.
“What a booming business.”
"The abbot doesn't know anything. In fact, most of the people here are my branch disciples. If the Dao Alliance is about to attack today, they are all back to the branch."
These people looked respectful in their eyes when they saw Zhou Qin, but no one greeted them. Obviously, they were warned.
The two of them came directly upstairs, with dozens of rooms here, and walked to the end, with a door.
Zhou Qin knocked on the door, and Luo Caiyi's voice came from inside: "Come in."
The two entered the room, and Luo Caiyi was wiping her sword.
Seeing Huo Yuanzhen enter the room, Luo Caiyi's eyes lit up and said to him: "The abbot is here, please sit down."
Huo Yuanzhen sat down, and Luo Caiyi said again: "Master Abbot is willing to help with righteousness, Caiyi is very grateful."
"Don't say that female donor. Actually, I have something to ask for when I come here."
"Oh, the abbot has something to ask us for? Then I have to listen."
Huo Yuanzhen glanced at Zhou Qin: "Donor Zhou, please tell me the matter."
Zhou Qin had a chicken manure on his face and complained in his tone, and he told Luo Caiyi that Huo Yuan really asked him to say.
Originally, Zhou Qin thought that Luo Caiyi, as the Dharma King of the Protector, must put the interests of the holy teaching first in everything, and may not be able to agree to Huo Yuanzhen's unreasonable request.
But as soon as Zhou Qin finished speaking, Luo Caiyi's brows frowned.
"The King of Zhou decided to do this little thing. What's wrong with sending it to Master Yu in just one hundred trucks of grain. I will arrange a manpower in a while and go to Luoyang City immediately to buy 100 trucks of grain to send it to Songshan. It's winter, how can I do not have winter food in Shaolin Temple?"
After hearing Luo Caiyi's words, Zhou Qin didn't close his mouth for a long time. Finally, he sat aside embarrassedly, thinking that it was true!
I had known that the relationship between you two was unusual. Now, when I saw that, it was true that one hundred trucks of grain, not one hundred grains, you sent it out so generously. If I had known this, I would have been better than this good person. Now, that little abbot would not be grateful to him and would have taken all the credit to you as a good person.
Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, but he is not a human inside and outside!
Zhou Qin cursed himself in his heart, but he was observing the two of them, hoping to see their eyes coming and going so that he could make his guess more basis.
But he was disappointed. After chatting for a few words, Luo Caiyi asked Zhou Qin to take Huo Yuanzhen to rest. She arranged to buy grain for Shaolin Temple, so that the grain transport convoy would set off from Luoyang tomorrow.
Because Luo Caiyi also knew that the Heavenly Dao Alliance would come sooner or later. The news I received two days ago that the Heavenly Dao Alliance was already gathering people. Maybe it was already on the way now, so it would be better to do this as soon as possible.
******************************
When it was dinner time, Luo Caiyi and Zhou Qin entertained Huo Yuanzhen. At the banquet, Zhu Huan, the leader of the Henan branch of the Holy Fire Sect.
In order to take care of Huo Yuanzhen, all this meal was vegetarian.
The few people had no taste. After eating some of them simply, Luo Caiyi suddenly said, "Zhu Huan, don't apologize to the abbot!"
When Zhu Huan heard Luo Caiyi's words, he trembled all over and whispered: "I don't know what crime is there?"
"snort!"
Luo Caiyi's face suddenly became low, "Zhu Huan, don't think that no one knows what you did. This Dharma King now gives you another chance and apologize to the abbot immediately, otherwise he will not be able to escape death!"
Zhu Huan's face turned pale and hesitated for a moment. I wonder if he should explain immediately whether Luo Caiyi was lying to her words?
As soon as he hesitated, Luo Caiyi felt that his dignity had been seriously challenged. With a wave of his palm, an internal force hit him directly, and directly hit Zhu Huan in the air, and his body hit the wall of the inn heavily!
"If you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, you will accept money from Zhongyue Sect privately. First, find Mo Fenghuang Molan from Tianya Hai Pavilion to plot against the abbot. After that, you will find monks and nuns to assassinate the abbot, and refuse to report this matter and make enemies for my holy religion. Don't you know your crime?"
Only then did Huo Yuanzhen realize who found the people of Mo Lan and the monks and Taoist nuns? It turned out that it was Zhu Huan who found Zhu Huan. The person who found Zhu Huan was the Mysterious True Man from the Zhongyue Sect.
But the Myomi Real Man has withdrawn from the world, and I'm afraid he doesn't know who Zhu Huan is looking for.
Seeing that Zhu Huan was hit by the window by Luo Caiyi's palm, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, Huo Yuan really wanted to persuade him, but suddenly a burst of dark laughter came from outside.
"Hahaha! King Luo is so angry. Since this person makes you angry, the little girl will solve him for you!"
The window suddenly broke open with a "boom!", and Zhu Huan at the window screamed, and saw a pale palm grabbing the top of his head.
His five fingers were like hooks, holding Zhu Huan tightly. Behind Zhu Huan, a woman in black hair slowly exposed her head.

ps: The third update is 10,000 words. Why do I feel that I am always lacking in confidence when I update 10,000 words every time? Could it be that there are very few updates? When I read other people's books, I thought it would be fine if he could explode ten thousand words a day, but when I got to myself, I always feel sorry for everyone if I update less. A kind person is at a disadvantage. (To be continued)
