Chapter 08: The bird at the bottom of the valley repays his kindness. The prince seeks a job in the restaurant

The next morning, in the valley under the cliffs of Mount Lebannon. The bright sun shines on the lake in the valley. The birds kept chirring. Zhu Cixuan was kicked off the cliff by the king yesterday. Fall into the lake in the valley. Only then did he save his life. I was washed to the lake and continued to sleep for a day. Now the sun shines on his face and the birds sing around him. He seemed to dream that his father was smiling at him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a magical and beautiful valley.

"Why am I here?" Zhu Cixuan doubted. Looking up at the high cliff, I almost understood. Thinking of the battle next to the cliff yesterday, I think of Yang Yun's tragic death. He couldn't help bursting into tears. The bits and pieces with Yang Yun echoed around his head. He remembered that he was in a sad coma. But he doesn't know why he is now in the valley and where Wang Quan and Li Hu have gone.

"I'm so hungry!" I haven't eaten for a day. I'm hungry. But there is nothing to eat in this valley. Zhu Cixuan stood up and instinctively searched in the valley. The view of this valley is really good. The lake is rippled, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. However, Zhu Cixuan is not in the mood to appreciate it. As long as he thinks of Yang Yun's death, his heart hurts.

I walked in a daze. What came into view was a big cave. Would you like to go in and have a look?" Zhu Cixuan walked into this big cave curiously. This cave is really wonderful. The more you go in, the wider it becomes. Will this be the passage out of the valley? Zhu Cixuan thought to herself. Go in boldly. There was actually a stream in the cave, and the sound of flowing water was accompanied by Zhu Cixuan's nervous heartbeat. The light is getting brighter and brighter, but the hole is no longer bigger but smaller. Is it almost to the exit? Zhu Cixuan was secretly happy.

Sure enough, the front is the exit. Zhu Cixuan quickly ran to the mouth of the cave and looked out. Ouch! It's so beautiful!" It turned out to be a fruit forest. If you look carefully, there are strange-shaped fruits on each tree. It looks the size of a fist, the color is light green, and it looks like melon seeds inserted on sunflowers. This fruit really looks like the head of Shakyamuni Buddha. Is it delicious?" The hungry Zhu Cixuan hurried to pick a fruit. Just as I was about to eat, I thought to myself, "Will it be poisonous?" Thinking about this, hesitate for a moment. But look at the attractive fruits, encourage yourself and eat them at ease. Pull out the skin like melon seeds one by one and bring out the meat inside, which is white. Zhu Cixuan ate the meat, ah! It tastes so good!! Soft, sweet and fragrant!! Zhu Cixuan let go of eating. I haven't had such delicious food for a long time.

I'm full. It's time to find the way out of the valley. The fruit is delicious and the scenery is charming. You can't live in the valley all your life. After eating this fruit, Zhu Cixuan felt that his body was full of strength and walked forward energetically, looking for the way out of the valley. Another stream appeared in front of it. Go and wash your face!" Thinking of this, Zhu Cixuan accelerated his pace. I came to the stream and washed my hands and face. Looking up at the blue sky, several birds fly freely. Zhu Cixuan said to himself, "When can I be as free as you birds?" If you can't get out of this valley, you will really become a caged bird.

"Hehe, stinky boy. How dare you steal my fruit? What's the crime?"

Suddenly, a huge thing appeared in front of Zhu Cixuan. He really didn't know it. He jumped as soon as he saw it. It is dark all over, with a blood-red mouth, and it looks like a black bear spirit.

"You black bear spirit, obviously come to seek provocation. Is the fruit of the valley yours? Zhu Cixuan, who is proficient in metaphysics, saw at a glance that the speaker was a black bear spirit with shallow skills.

"You are so powerful. You are not afraid at all. Aren't you afraid that I will eat you and compensate for my loss? The black bear said doubtfully.

"Of course I'm not afraid. You have such good fruit, why did you eat me? Besides, you goblin only have a hundred years of power. As long as the poor monk recites the spiritual scriptures, you will make you beg for mercy. Zhu Cixuan said fearlessly.

"You are so talkless. I have a hundred years of power, how can I be afraid of your scriptures? The black bear smiled.

"In ancient times, Yelang was arrogant, but now black bears are arrogant. Not to mention that you only have a hundred years of merit, even if you have a thousand years of merit, the poor monk will subdue you.

"I think you are the monk arrogant. I'm going to eat you now." The black bear spirit immediately rushed over with a big mouth and ferocious eyes.

Zhu Cixuan's face did not change, and he opened his mouth and read the spiritual scriptures. How could the black bear spirit stand the severity of the spiritual sutra? He suddenly fell to the ground and rolled on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Please forgive me. I can't stand it anymore." The sound made by the black bear spirit was actually mixed with female voices.

Zhu Cixuan didn't understand what was going on and stopped reading the scriptures doubtfully.

The black bear spirit looked at it and immediately said fiercely, "I can't eat you today, and you will be eaten by other goblins." Then it turned into a black smoke and disappeared, but a beautiful bird suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Thank you for subduing the black bear and saving me from the sea of suffering." The bird suddenly opened his mouth to speak.

"What? You little bird has also become a spirit?" Zhu Cixuan said in surprise.

"I'm a bird spirit. But the skill is very shallow, and it can't become a human body. The black bear spirit treats me as a pet bird, hides me on my body and plays with me casually. I hate it. The bird said.

"So that's it. You can regain your freedom and escape from the valley. Prevent the black bear spirit from coming back.

"Thank you, Monk. Little bird, I appreciate your kindness. I am willing to guide you on the way out of the valley. I would also like to give you the Yirong bracelet I found in the cave.

"What, easy-to-dress bracelet? Is there really such a magical bracelet? Zhu Cixuan asked doubtly.

"Yes. However, this bracelet has become male and female, dead and lifeless. I picked it up in the valley and hid it in this stream, so the black bear spirit didn't know. Now I'm willing to give it to you." The bird said.

Zhu Cixuan hasn't fully understood and just wanted to ask. But the bird flew up and saw it flying over the stream like water, and a shiny thing came out of its mouth. That thing looks dazzling in the sun. Before Zhu Cixuan could see it clearly, the bird opened its mouth, and the glittering thing fell down and fell to Zhu Cixuan's feet next to the stream. Ci Xuan quickly bent down to pick up that thing. It turned out to be a green emerald bracelet. Take a closer look, there is a small lotus flower on it. The lotus flower is small but exquisite.

"Is this the easy-to-dress bracelet that the bird spirit is going to give me? Can it really be easy to face? Zhu Cixuan asked.

"Of course, the monk will immediately put on this easy-to-do bracelet to see if it is suitable!" The bird spirit urged.

Ci Xuan is skeptical, but it is difficult to see the bird spirit. Just wear the bracelet on your hand. At this time, it suddenly occurred to him that his father had also given him some precious bracelets before. Thinking of this, his father's voice and appearance appeared in front of him. He turned the bracelet with his hand, which was more suitable for him to wear. Unexpectedly, the bird spirit cried again.

"Haha, take a look. Monk, you have become a person in your mind now. I didn't lie to you, did I?

Ci Xuan heard this and hurriedly looked at the water. He was really shocked. He turned out to look like his father in the water! He couldn't help shouting, "Father!" It turned out to be the voice of my father! Zhu Cixuan was surprised. He quickly tried again. While thinking about Yang Yun's appearance, he turned the bracelet. Miracles happen again. Yang Yun's appearance is reflected in the stream. Yang Yun!" Zhu Cixuan shouted excitedly. As a result, the voice also became Yang Yun's voice.

"It's amazing! This bracelet is really a treasure in the world!" Ci Xuan said excitedly.

"Yes. But this easy-to-dress bracelet can't become whoever you want to become. It can only make the person wearing it become a dead man. You can't become a living person or a woman." The bird spirit explained.

Ci Xuan listened and nodded. He thought with a little regret: "If I can become the appearance of the emperor's grandmother and mother. How nice that would be!"

Desp> Despite this, Cixuan was still very grateful to the bird spirit and thanked the bird spirit repeatedly. The bird spirit said happily that he didn't have to be polite. Anyway, it couldn't wear this easy-to-use bracelet and gave it to Cixuan, so that this baby became useful.

"Now let's leave this valley together. The monk will follow the direction I fly, and we can quickly walk out of the valley." The bird spirit said.

Ci Xuan nodded happily and followed the bird spirit out of the valley. The bird spirit gave Ci Xuan a few blessings and flew away.

Zhu Cixuan survived the disaster and accidentally got a magical treasure change bracelet in the Labannon Valley. Go out of the valley. I feel much better. Since you have come to the vicinity of Jingdong City, just go to the city to have a look. Anyway, Yang Yun said that Jingdong City only nominally belongs to the State of Myanmar. In fact, it is under the management of the Shang nationality that the King of Myanmar cannot control. Thinking of this, Zhu Cixuan strode towards Jingdong City.

Lebanon Mountain is very close to Jingdong City. It didn't take long for Zhu Cixuan to enter the city. This scenic city is not big, and the natural landscape is similar to that of Mengma City. It is also teak all over the street. It just looks more prosperous. There are many shops on the street, which can be said to be booming. Seeing the shops on the street, Zhu Cixuan thought of a problem, which was money. He is really penniless now. Therefore, you can only go to the temple or ask the people for help.

For monks, it is common to turn fate to the common people. However, if there is a temple, it is better not to bother the people. Zhu Cixuan hurriedly asked passers-by, "The little monk is polite. Do you dare to ask if there is a Buddhist temple here?" Hearing this, the passer-by looked at Zhu Cixuan and replied, "The little master is from other places, right?" There has been no longer a temple since the only temple was destroyed by fire three years ago. Zhu Cixuan was disappointed when he heard this, and it seemed that he had no choice but to go to the fate.

Although fate is normal for monks, Zhu Cixuan has never had the experience of fate since he became a monk. However, now, the prince and monk in distress can only turn to the people for help. Leaving the commercial street, we arrived at the residential area. Zhu Cixuan casually chose a family and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and a woman came out. Zhu Cixuan politely saluted the woman and explained his intention: "The little monk is polite. Dare to ask if there is a simple meal in the donor's family that can be changed to the little monk?" The woman replied, "No." He closed the door with a bang, and his bad attitude made Zhu Cixuan blush with shame.

Then he knocked on the door of another family. The elder opened the door with a long beard. Before Zhu Cixuan opened his mouth to show his intention, the elder looked at the monk and closed the door with a worse attitude than the woman.

Ci Xuan is really a little discouraged. I thought to myself, "Can't I even get food?" He summoned up the courage to knock on the third door. The door was opened by a seven- or eight-year-old boy with a shaved head. Seeing a monk standing at the door, he asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?" The child's voice is cute. Zhu Cixuan asked, "Son, is your adult at home?" The little boy replied, "My grandma is at home. Come in with me." Zhu Cixuan was finally not turned away from the door again and followed the little boy into the yard.

A 50 or 60-year-old woman sits in the yard. Seeing that Zhu Cixuan came in, he quickly stood up to greet him. Zhu Cixuan quickly expressed his intention: "The little monk is polite and greet the old donor. The little monk passed by your place and came to ask for trouble. Please forgive me. Dare to ask if there is a simple meal in the donor's family that can be transformed into a young monk? The old lady said, "There is a simple meal. If the master doesn't mind, come with me." After saying that, he led Zhu Cixuan into the house.

In a while, Zhu Cixuan was very grateful for the food. Although the food was very ordinary, he hurriedly thanked the old woman. The old woman said, "We haven't seen a monk here for more than three years. It turns out that we have a temple here, which was burned down by a fire three years ago. The masters of monks have all gone to other places. Zhu Cixuan took over the words and said, "The local Buddhism is not popular. Just now, the little monk has been rejected by the two families."

The old woman smiled and said, "That's not the case. Three years ago, the temple was burned, burning many teachers, and even the old abbot was burned. In this way, the people said, 'This Buddha doesn't even protect the monk, so how can he protect the people?' Since then, most of them have not respected Buddha. Zhu Cixuan nodded and said, "So that's it. It seems that it is very difficult to make a relationship." The old woman nodded.

Zhu Cixuan ate a bowl of rice and was not fully full. The old woman no longer served rice, so Zhu Cixuan had to leave. I thought to myself, "It seems that this Jingdong City is not a place to stay for a long time. Even eating and accommodation has become a problem. The world is so big, where is the place where he settles? If he followed his original intention, he would naturally go to Ava, but Ava still has a long way to go. The journey is far away, and I'm afraid it's impossible to rely on fate alone. You should earn some money." Thinking of this, Zhu Cixuan returned to the commercial street with many shops and wanted to find a job to make some money.

When I saw that there was a peaceful restaurant over there, there was a notice posted at the door. When I looked forward, I found that I was going to recruit an accountant. Zhu Cixuan thought that he could do this job. It's just that my appearance as a monk is not suitable. Thinking of this, he looked at the emerald bracelet in his hand and had an idea. Finding a place where there was no one, he turned the bracelet and thought about the appearance of Ma Jixiang, a retired bachelor. In an instant, he became Ma Jixiang. Zhu Cixuan walked into the Xianghe Restaurant happily. When he came in, there were really a lot of people. This peaceful restaurant is also well decorated. It seems to be a well-known restaurant. Xiao Eryi looked like a person and hurried forward to greet him.

Zhu Cixuan showed his intention, and the second shopkeeper led Zhu Cixuan to meet the boss's wife. The boss's wife is greeting guests in the VIP room. Before entering the VIP room, I heard the woman's loud laughter from inside. By intuition, Zhu Cixuan felt that the laughter should be made by the boss's wife. The second shopkeeper went to the VIP room to report, and Zhu Cixuan waited outside. After a while, the second child led a fat woman in her forties out. This fat woman is as fat as a second child in two stores, walking clumsily like a duck. The big cake has small eyes, a big mouth and heavy makeup. Wearing a fat red robe with flowers on it.

Zhu Cixuan came forward, and the shopkeeper hurriedly introduced, "This is the boss's wife, and this is the one who wants to keep accounts." Zhu Cixuan nodded and smiled. The boss's wife looked at it carefully for a while and said with her big blood-red mouth, "It seems that you are not bad, gentle. This is Xianghe Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in the city. The bookkeeper died last month, and we were short of a bookkeeper. Each table of meals is compiled into three copies by the accounting statistics, one for accounting, one for the second one in the store, and one for me. Check the accounts at each table after they are settled. If the guests don't pay the bill, they will leave. The bookkeeper and the store's second child need double compensation.

Then the boss's wife took out a contract from her body and said, "If you understand, press a fingerprint on this contract. Two taels of silver a month. If you want to do it, stay today and officially start work tomorrow. Zhu Cixuan felt quite satisfied and said, "Please take care of the boss's wife in the future." Then he pressed the fingerprint on the contract.

The next day, Zhu Cixuan officially began to work. His job is very simple. That is, the price of each table is calculated and recorded, and then the shopkeeper uses this to register. Silver and bills are put together in the grid of the cash register, and a table of bills and silver are placed in the same grid. Give it to the boss's wife to count in person in the evening. The boss's wife arranged for him to take charge of the accounts of the VIP room, so it was easier. It was the boss's wife who greeted the guests in the VIP room all day long, chirring and flirting, which made Zhu Cixuan uncomfortable. It turned out that the guests called the boss's wife 'big duck drag'. One was to describe the boss's walking posture, and the other was to describe her mouth that spread the big events and small feelings in the city. The boss's wife was not angry, but also very proud. With her, the atmosphere is always lively, making the guests laugh.

After more than ten days, Zhu Cixuan got used to this atmosphere. The speakable boss's wife is also a little capable. After her husband died, she supported the restaurant by herself. Make money every day. I have been working for more than ten days and everything is going well. You can also hear the wonderful content of the boss's wife's talk with the guests, which is also interesting.
