Creating a Different World - Chapter 2310

[Chapter 2310 Zhu Quan]

In fact, Jia Zhengjin would rather deal with the matter of Sun Wukong, 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 little 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 the bamboo slips, and was fascinated by it.

Jia Zhengjin asked Nuwa to teleport him nearby. After thinking for a while, he transformed into an old man with a beard of fifty years old, pushing a unicycle with some fragrant noodles on the cart.

The noodles made by maxing out the 10th level cooking skill are absolutely delicious. 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 staggering and pushing a cart, the wheel was stuck in the mud and could not move forward. He quickly stood up, put the bamboo slips aside, and ran over: “Old man, let me help you!”

“Thank you!”

Zhu Quan lent a hand and helped push the unicycle out of the mud and sent it to a relatively flat area.

“Young man, thank you for helping me push! Otherwise, I can’t get through!” Jia Zhengjin said in an old voice.

“Old man, where are you from?” Zhu Quan asked, “The mountain road here is rugged, and it’s not easy to walk along the way!”

“Alas! I suffered a disaster in my hometown, and now I live in a farm village a few miles away.” Jia Zhengjin replied, “I have no children, and I can only make a living by selling bread. I want to go to the lively places nearby to take a look, hoping to sell more. Young man, you have a good heart, this bread 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 took the bread and shook it gently in front of him, 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, “Does the young man dislike the old man’s 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 and took a few more bites in disbelief. Facing the old man’s question, he nodded repeatedly to indicate that it was delicious.

“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.

It was a bit bad to eat one, how could he 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 there all the way!” 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.

“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 are still breads? The old man tastes real, could he be a god?”

Holding the scroll and the remaining small piece of bread, Zhu Quan chased along the road again, but he couldn’t find the old man. 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.

He searched all the way, but found nothing.

Looking back, I found that the wheelbarrow mark just now also broke near the big tree where I was sitting 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’s mind was full of questions, and he couldn’t figure out the situation at all.

Since I couldn’t figure it out, I simply didn’t think about him. The more I thought about it, the more headache I had.

I returned to the big tree, using the shade of the tree to block the sun, and continued to read in a cool environment.

The old man transformed by Jia Zhengjin teleported away and observed Zhu Quan through the Qiankun Mirror. When he saw Zhu Quan’s actions, he nodded, thought for a moment, and turned back into a young man with shifty eyes.
