Chapter 2310 Zhu Quan
In fact, Jia Zhengjin would rather deal with Sun Wukong's affairs, but Tathagata has already arranged it, so there is no need to make trouble.
Tathagata showed him the appearance of the man named Zhu who corresponds to Marshal Tianpeng. He is completely different from the rough man in his impression. This handsome scholar named Zhu Quan is completely different from the Zhu Bajie that Jia Zhengjin knows.
Of course, maybe after he is born as a pig by mistake, he will be exactly the same.
Gao Laozhuang is still Gao Laozhuang, but Gao Laoye and Gao Cuilan were not born later, hundreds of years earlier.
At this moment, Zhu Quan lives in Gao Laozhuang and is a local scholar.
Jia Zhengjin observed him through the Qiankun Mirror and found that this man is well-behaved and gentle. He doesn't like to conflict with others. He is a very approachable pioneer of civilization.
It is a bit difficult to transform him into the lazy and lustful Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West.
Zhu Quan goes to the mountains to read every day and likes the quiet environment.
Today was the same. He arrived at the top of a small hill near Gao Laozhuang early in the morning, leaning against a big tree holding a bamboo slip, and was fascinated by it.
Jia Zhengjin asked Nuwa to teleport him nearby. After thinking for a while, he changed into an old man with a beard of fifty years old, pushing a unicycle with some fragrant noodles on it.
The noodles made by maxing out the 10th level cooking skill are superb delicacies, and the aroma alone makes people drool.
Pretending to be very strenuous, Jia Zhengjin bumped along the mountain road and slowly appeared in Zhu Quan's sight.
Zhu Quan was so absorbed in reading that the sound of the wooden wheel did not attract his attention until a strange fragrance came to his nose, which made him look up curiously.
When he saw a white-haired old man pushing a wheelbarrow with a staggering step, and the wheel got stuck in the mud and couldn't move forward, he quickly stood up, put the bamboo slips aside, and ran over: "Old man, I'll help you!"
"Thank you!"
Zhu Quan lent a hand and helped push the wheelbarrow out of the mud and to a flatter area.
"Young man, thank you for helping push it! Otherwise, I can't get through!" Jia Zhengjin said in an old voice.
"Old man, where are you from?" Zhu Quan asked, "The mountain roads here are rugged and it's not easy to walk along the way!"
"Alas! I suffered a disaster in my hometown and now live in a farm village a few miles away." Jia Zhengjin replied, "I have no children and can only make a living by selling noodles. I want to go to the lively places nearby to take a look and hope to sell more. Young man, you have a good heart, this noodle is for you to eat!"
"No need, old man, you can keep it and sell it for money!" Although Zhu Quan was a little surprised by the fragrance, he had a wormhole in his heart that wanted to taste it, but he shook his head.
"It's okay, young man, if it weren't for you, my car wouldn't be able to get through." Jia Zhengjin deliberately held the noodle in front of him and shook it gently, so that the fragrance kept drilling into his nose.
"Old man, really no need!" Zhu Quan was tempted by the fragrance, but he said rationally.
"Just take it! I don't have anything else to repay you, so I can only make a pancake." Jia Zhengjin said, "Do you dislike your craftsmanship?"
"No, no!" Zhu Quan thought for a while, stretched out his hand and took out a few copper coins from his arms, "It's not easy for you to make money by selling pancakes, how can I eat yours for free? How much is this pancake, I'll buy it?"
"That's right, young man, you helped me,
What's a pancake?" Jia Zhengjin smiled and stuffed the pancake into his hand, "Take it, try it!"
"This..."
"Quick, try it!"
Zhu Quan hesitated, although he felt it was inappropriate to eat someone else's food without paying, but under the constant request of the old man, he finally tried a bite.
The pancake was in his mouth, and the fragrance was more intense. This was a taste he had never tasted before.
Zhu Quan widened his eyes, took a few more bites in disbelief, and nodded repeatedly to indicate that it was delicious in response to the old man's question.
"It's good as long as it tastes good!" Jia Zhengjin took out a few more pancakes, "These are also for you!"
"No, no!" Zhu Quan hurriedly refused.
I felt bad eating one, how could I ask for more?
Jia Zhengjin insisted on giving it to him, but he refused. After a few pushes and pulls, Zhu Quan finally refused.
"Young man, thank you so much!" In this situation, Jia Zhengjin said to him, "I have to go to the front to do business, so I can't stay any longer. Goodbye!"
"Old man, the road ahead is rugged, can I take you there?" Zhu Quan said hurriedly.
"No, I'm fine!" Jia Zhengjin pushed the cart and strode forward.
"Old man, I'll take you all the way there!" Zhu Quan was indeed worried about the road ahead, because it was all downhill, and several places were particularly steep. However, when he turned around to get the bamboo slips, he looked back again and found that the old man pushing the cart had disappeared.
He ran forward for a while but didn't see any trace, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
"This...what's going on? Was I dreaming?" Zhu Quan looked down at the few bites of bread left in his hand. "If it was a dream, how come there was still bread? It tasted real...could that old man be a god?"
Holding the letter and the remaining small piece of bread, Zhu Quan chased along the road again, but he couldn't find the old man just now, so he felt even more strange and shouted around: "Old man? Old man!"
He was more worried. What if the old man turned into the woods and took the wrong road?
The woods here are dense, and it is difficult to find him after entering, which is also possible.
Searching all the way, nothing was found.
Looking back, I found that the mark of the single-wheeled cart just now also broke near the big tree where I sat before, and there was no more after that.
If the old man really went there, he would definitely leave wheel marks. Why did the marks stop here?
It seems that he is really not a mortal. Mortals can't do such things.
Did I really meet a fairy today?
Zhu Quan looked down at the few remaining noodles in his hand, and then looked up at the clear forest mountain road and Gao Laozhuang scenery in the distance. After thinking for a while, he stuffed the last small piece into his mouth.
No matter! At least this noodle cake is really delicious.
It's a pity that I don't know if I can still eat such delicious food!
Why did the fairy appear here? Why did he pretend to be like that and ask me to help? What's the mystery of this noodle cake he invited me to eat?
Zhu Quan had a lot of questions in his mind, and he couldn't figure out the situation at all.
Since I can't figure it out, I simply don't think about him. The more I think about it, the more headache I get.
Going back to the big tree, using the shade of the tree to block the sun, I continued to read in a cool environment.
The old man transformed by Jia Zhengjin teleported away and observed Zhu Quan through the Qiankun Mirror. He noticed his actions and nodded. After thinking for a while, he turned around and turned into a young man with shifty eyes.
