That monk has a dragon [Rebirth]

There is no charcoal fire in the house, and even if the doors and windows are closed tightly, there are always gaps for cold air to leak in.

Si Huai was wrapped in a quilt and sat on the edge of the bed, breathing hot air into his palms continuously, with a smile in his eyes, staring at Wu Nian who was changing his medicine for a moment.

Wu Nian didn't notice the sight that fell on him, lowered his head and carefully treated his wound, and told Si Huai exactly what he said to Ming Qiao last night.

At the end, he smiled lightly, answered an irrelevant sentence, and said, "Your wound heals quite quickly."

"Thanks to the time when I was by the dark river that day, the master treated my wound in time." Si Huai recalled the way Wu Nian supported his ankle and carefully treated it by the fire that day, and his calm mood suddenly became chaotic again. , pretending to be plain and asked: "The master also has a large bruise on his back, and he had a fever that day, is it better?"

"Small injury and illness, it will pass after sweating." Wu Nian said in a flat tone, and slowly wrapped the gauze with light hands.

Si Huai wanted to say a few more words of concern, but was afraid that the two men would look like a mother-in-law if they talked too much about these trivial matters, so he scolded himself twice in his heart.

Not long ago, he was still laughing in his heart at Dongyang Yan, that foolish boy who was enlightened but had no guts, and his sweetheart stood in front of him but stuttered when speaking. He didn't expect to come to him, but he didn't dare to say a word of concern, so he could only turn around I pondered over what I had just said.

"According to what you just said, Sect Master Ming admits that the matter of Meiyuan and Mr. Lin is related to him, but he does not admit that he released the female ghost who led us to the back mountain?"

"En." Wu Nian nodded in response, still packing the medicine box on his own, and said: "He said that he did these things for a reason, but before the matter is clear, he can't believe it completely. The family takes hunting demons and eliminating ghosts as their mission. Even the Xuanqing Taoist temple, which has a deep understanding of ghosts and walking corpses, lists these in the taboos of the teacher's sect. It is too coincidental that ghosts under human control appear again and again. "

"The patriarch of Tangtang Ming's family has no need to attack the child, but the whereabouts of this female ghost are too strange, but since he said it, he will explain it clearly, just wait for now."

After all, the truth of many things cannot be figured out by oneself.

Si Huai looked at Wu Nian's face that hadn't changed, and then boldly continued: "I don't know how much the words of the Ming Sect Master are true. It doesn't matter."

Wu Nian got up and put the medicine box on the cabinet. Hearing what he said, I turned around to look at him and sighed softly.

"I followed Mr. Lin's story to find the people who chased him to find some clues, and I didn't believe that these people were the ones who committed the murders back then. It is indeed unlikely that the disciples of the Ming family killed their own people by mistake. If someone else was present, I have searched for this matter for so many years but have not found the truth, so I didn't expect to find out easily."

This was originally just a private matter, but unexpectedly, it got caught up in the matter of Xianmen. Among all the things, this old matter seemed very insignificant.

"Master..." Si Huai called him, hesitated for a while, and said, "But what else do you want to tell me?"

Wu Nian looked at him and thought about it for a while, and said: "Although the injury on your foot heals quickly, you still don't want to move around too much. I asked Chen Yi to boil the soup and drink it while it's hot."

"Hmm...is there any more?" He replied, his eyes fell on Wu Nian and refused to leave, with a hint of imperceptible hope.

"Huh? No more..."

Wu Nian frowned, as if he was really thinking about it, but before he could think of something, there was a noisy quarrel outside the yard.

The little monk's voice was caught in a few curses, as if he had a dispute with someone.

Wu Nian turned around and told me to "have a good rest" twice, then hurriedly got up and went outside to check the situation. Si Huai took a peek while opening the door, and seeing Sheng Jincheng being scolded in the yard, he told me what I read again. Forgotten to the back of his mind, he climbed out of bed and limped along.

The disciples of the Sheng family were placed in another courtyard. Sheng Jincheng came to the Qiufeng courtyard with a black food box in his hand. He must have come to visit Si Huai. The guys quarreled.

The one who blocked his way was the youngest son of the Suzerain of the Xie family. He was about the same age as Sheng Jincheng, but his physique was stronger than him. appearance.

"Did the benefactor have a sore on his mouth? Are you speaking so badly?" The little monk stood in front of Sheng Jincheng, not knowing what was going on, his face was full of anger.

Before Wu Nian stepped forward, Si Huai also stopped beside him, watching these children quarreling with interest.

"The little monk is quite agile in quarreling, but he is not afraid to meet living people."

"Why did you come out?" Wu Nian turned to look at him, sighed heavily, and didn't push him back.

The few people who were arguing over there didn't realize that there was someone nearby, but they saw Zongzhu Xie's son snorting coldly twice, and a group of disciples laughed along with him.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Young Master Xie glanced at them, looked elsewhere, and said, "If you can't practice spells, then what kind of person is a member of the immortal sect? What face do you have to come to the banquet of hundreds of families in Lianyun Mansion? Relying on the name of the Sheng family? The next Sheng family will be headed by a woman, and the woman will marry sooner or later, and the entire Sheng family will belong to someone else, so who else in the Xianmen family will recognize you, Mr. Sheng?"

"You..." As soon as Chen rolled up his sleeves, he was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Sheng Jincheng, so he could only say angrily: "The benefactor speaks so loudly, don't your family have to bow to the Sheng family? Don't you think so?" Did you come here today to stop Young Master Sheng from venting your anger after being held back by Young Master Sheng yesterday?"

"Nonsense! Why am I so jealous of Sheng Lanchu? I just don't care about women!"

"You can't care less than that!" Chen Yi was pulled back by Sheng Jincheng, and he "spit" at him fiercely before giving up.

Si Huai bumped into Wu Nian's shoulder, and asked him in a low voice: "Aren't you going to stop that little monk in your family who is playing tricks on living people?"

"No need." Wu Nian pointed to the other side lightly.

I saw Dongyang Young Sect Master standing at the door of the room at some point, staring at the young master of the Xie family with a dark face. After a while, several disciples of the Dongyang family came out of the room and surrounded them with big strides. past.

Chen Yi looked at Mr. Xie's family being invited away in some bewilderment, only to find his uncle who was standing aside watching the fun, and snorted twice.

Before he could speak, a disciple of the Ming family ran past him, came straight to Wu Nian and Si Huai, saluted, and said, "The suzerain asked me to inform the two respected guests that I will prepare your servants at the Yiyuan Pavilion tonight. After the meal, please go and enjoy it."

The reason why Ming Qiao invited the two of them to Yiyuan Pavilion for dinner was that they did not attend the Baijia Banquet last night, so they prepared a small banquet tonight to comfort the guests who came from afar.

As the name suggests, Yiyuan Pavilion is a pavilion leaning on the edge of a cliff. There is an invisible abyss underneath through a fence, but it is also a good place to see the whole Xinling City from a distance.

This dinner was not set up for Wu Nian and the two of them. They went upstairs with the servants of the Ming family, and saw that Sect Master Ming had already sat down on the main seat, and there were five other people at the same table——

Zhong Xun, the suzerain of the Zhong family, father and son of the suzerain of the Dongyang family, Sheng Lanchu, the young suzerain of the Sheng family, and Meng Pingshan, the lord of Xinling, who had met once.

On the second day after the Baijia Banquet, there were still many sect families staying in the Lianyun Mansion. The Ming Sovereign invited three other families to dinner alone, and brought along the irrelevant City Lord Xinling and two outsiders. It is really hard to explain why .

Seeing the two of them coming up, Ming Qiao smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and ordered the servants to serve two new bowls and chopsticks. The bowls and chopsticks were covered with a layer of gold, which was very consistent with the rigorous style of Lianyun Mansion.

The maid carried the jug around the table to refill the guests, and when she stepped back, Ming Qiao raised the wine cup and made a respectful respect to everyone.

"My cousin is usually busy with business, so I can't even invite you here. I just came here today, so I set up a small banquet in Yiyuan Pavilion and invited a few of you over. First, I have been neglected these few days. Second, because I didn’t check the facts, I brought people to the Sheng’s family to punish them for hurting the harmony of several families, which is also regarded as an apology.”

Apologizing to the Sheng family is considered a major event. Although the Sheng family also went to the Great Barren Mountain later, the master of the banquet of the Xianmen Hundred Families did not show up, so I still remember it.

Several eyes fell on Sheng Lanchu together, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she hesitated for a while before picking up the wine cup in return, smirking vainly, and drinking it all in one gulp.

Now that this rift has already arisen, there must be no way to resolve it with a glass of wine, but no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to pretend to be friendly.

She is going to take over the Sheng family in the future, and since they have given the steps first, she can't point her nostrils up to the sky.

Seeing that she had finished drinking, Ming Qiao praised with a smile, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. While the maid was pouring the wine, he turned to Wu Nian and asked, "I heard that the master eats wine and meat. Tonight's Does the food suit your taste? If there is anything you want to eat, you can ask the kitchen to make it."

"Amitabha, Sect Master Ming is being polite."

"As long as you like it." Ming Qiao nodded politely, picked up the full glass of wine again, and started talking with Meng Pingshan beside him.

The table was full of delicious delicacies, but the people at the table were not interested in eating, picking up a few chopsticks once in a while, and occasionally saying politely to the people next to them.

Si Huai took the small wine glass and touched Wu Nian's cup lightly, took the opportunity to lean over, and asked in a low voice: "What does the Ming lord want to do? He called a table of people over for dinner, and he only cared about talking to Meng." The mayor speaks."

Wu Nian raised his eyes and cast a glance at Ming Qiao, who was talking to Meng Pingshan, shook his head, and drank all the wine in the glass.

The maid serving the wine had already retreated, Wu Nian took the jug and filled his own glass, and was about to fill Si Huai's glass too, when he heard a "bang", and the city master Meng was already drunk Lie down on the table as if.

It took only a cup of tea to start the banquet, and there were only three or four glasses of wine, and it was not a strong drink, so how could it be so easy to get drunk?

Everyone couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and they all looked at Ming Qiao.

"I gave him medicine." Ming Sect Master didn't hide it, stood up from his seat, clasped his hands and bowed, and said, "Ming Qiao would like to invite you to meet someone with me."

Sheng Lanchu sneered undisguisedly, and asked what everyone hadn't said, "Who are you going to see, is it worth Ming Sect Master to go around and set up such a table, and then drug your brother?"

"Naturally, I want to meet someone who I can't see when he's around." Ming Qiao took off his big fur coat and put it on Meng Pingshan's body, glanced at them, and asked, "Ten years ago, I There is a counselor next to your elder brother, named Fu Mingyao, I wonder if you have heard of it before?"

Sheng Lanchu: "Our family seldom interacts with officials. How do we know who the Lord of Xinling used to be with? It was more than ten years ago."

Ming Qiao: "Sect Master Sheng, please be safe and don't be impatient. What I want to say today is related to the recent major events in Xianmen. It's just empty words and you won't believe them. That's why I force you to stay in Lianyun Mansion for a few more days. I won't be able to see that person until my elder brother comes over to eat this meal."

The recent major event in Xianmen must refer to the dragon pit in the Great Barren Mountain.

"Amitabha." I recited the Buddha's name, and said, "I have heard of the poor monk who is the counselor mentioned by the Emperor Ming, but... it is rumored that he disappeared more than ten years ago."

Ming Qiao nodded, shook his head again, and said with some regret: "He didn't disappear, but he was always trapped in the City Lord's Mansion."

The author has something to say: I suddenly feel that the little monk who only treats the living is very cute hahahaha
