Poor monks do not break the precepts

The master's words were secretly biased, and the atmosphere in the room couldn't help being even weirder. Although Shu Muxi's words sounded uncomfortable, what Xinli said was too much, and he simply refused to speak out about the difficult decision.

"The one who is in the heart of the Central Plains martial arts is the righteous way, and the sect that does things a little bit out of the way becomes a cult. Dare I ask Mr. Xin, what is the reputation of Shuiwugong in the Jianghu?" Huaxinglou broke the silence and looked at Xin with piercing eyes Here, there is no timidity to feel wronged.

"I heard that the Waterless Palace only accepts female disciples, most of whom are lonely and poor." Huai Mingmo involuntarily leaned closer to Xu Sheng, "Only this is special, and I haven't heard any bad rumors about others. On the contrary, I heard about the Qilian Mountains. As well as the people in the Western Regions, they are often helped by the Waterless Palace, and they are full of praise."

The warm breath sprayed on the base of Xu Sheng's ears, startling Xu Sheng's chest a burst of heat, Xu Sheng moved slightly to the side in a panic, "Good and evil are just a thought. Back then, there were so few Qingfeng sects in Xizong. The greedy thought of Qinghuang on the left side of the door."

It's rare for Huaxinglou to see Xu Sheng's panic-stricken face, and a trace of curiosity arose in his heart, "It's rare for the stinky monk to say something fair. Do evil, don’t do evil. It’s just that it doesn’t conform to the rules of the Central Plains, and all of them are female disciples. If it is said that Shuiwu Palace is a demon sect, then what is the hidden world villa headed by Mr. Ji?”

Seeing that Xin Li was choked speechless, Zheng Fengnian who was beside him rarely expressed his opinion: "Swords have no eyes, we should judge it as hurting people, I am afraid that the weapons of people who walk in martial arts are not clean and not stained with blood."

"Indeed, not all the eminent monks in Shaolin are good from the beginning. There are not a few who see the Buddha when they turn around." Xu Sheng spoke calmly, looked at Shu Muxi calmly, and said with a half-smile: "Buddhas and demons are in their hearts. The choice between good and evil depends entirely on human factors.”

"The right way loves the good and the evil, but I don't know, maybe in the eyes of the evil way, the right way is also the wrong way." Huai Mingmo secretly felt that Xu Sheng wanted to stay away from him, and a sense of loss suddenly rose in his heart.

Shu Muxi had a very good impression of Huai Mingmo at the beginning, even if there was an episode where a fan blocked his way, he still admired the demeanor of this famous martial arts master.Now hearing the other party's objective words, I like this ruthless young man who seldom set foot in the rivers and lakes more and more. Because he loves the house and the black, his tone is naturally a bit better. Seeing Xin Li, he didn't feel that annoying, nodded and said: "That's the reason."

"A false rumor, a false treasure map, has become a magic mirror of the martial arts." Xu Sheng recited a Buddhist saying regretfully, and sighed, "The recent chaos in the martial arts world, how many fights in the righteous way of the martial arts are really impressive. Marvel."

"Grandpa Song from Binzhou, the head of the horse gang of the Canglong Gang, and the head of the Haisha Sect..." Ji Deen's voice became softer and softer, and finally shrugged his shoulders, angrily slapped the table, and said in a depressed mood: "The master behind the scenes is extremely hateful." , came up with such a bad move, causing the martial arts to kill each other, and there is no peace."

Huai Mingmo hastily swallowed two mouthfuls of cold tea, trying to extinguish the irritation in his heart, and when his mood calmed down a little, he said lightly: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow like snakes, it's really no one's fault." Huai Mingmo's thoughts were concentrated on the void "Those who spread rumors just understand people's desires and use them to make use of them. People with six impure senses always have the weakness of obsession and weakness. You and I are just like this." , Master Xusheng, am I right?"

"Individuals have their own good fortune, and martial arts have their karmic fruits." Xu Sheng stood up and pushed open the closed carved wooden window behind him, and the quiet fragrance of peonies diffused into the room, and the flowers are not charming.

"Then what about your good fortune?" Huai Mingmo's sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people, just as a gust of autumn wind swept by, the familiar fragrance made his chest rippling and his heart itching.

"Acquaintance is fate."

Ji Deen heard that the two were playing charades, but he didn't know it, so it was really boring to hear.He got up to admire some newly hung calligraphy and paintings, and stopped in front of the paintings for a long time, dumbfounded, "Master Xusheng knows the incense thief?"

"Why?" Xu Sheng glanced at the painting in front of Ji Deen, scolded himself for being careless, and said with a smile: "The poor monk found this painting in the West Sea of ​​Jishi Mountain, he liked it very much, so he took it back and hung it up. Is there anything to do with the Fragrant Pirates?"

Xinli carefully identified the writing on the painting, turned his head suddenly, but said leisurely: "It is indeed the picture of the smoke and snow scene that the incense robbers stole from the Dingxi Palace in Western Shu three years ago. Landed in the West Sea of ​​Jishi Mountain?" Xinli was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and said something against his will, "Could it be that the Fragrance Pirates are hiding in Jishi Mountain?"

"It's not impossible." Ji Deen had a simple mind and didn't doubt Dao Xusheng's head. He admired the painting and thought about it seriously, "Shaolin is famous, and martial arts people don't have long eyes to offend you, and there are no bandits in the mountains. Such a quiet and hidden place is the most suitable place to hide. No wonder few people have seen the Fragrance Pirate, and almost no one has made friends with her. It is obvious that she wants to hide on purpose, but the huge Jishi Mountain, where will she live in seclusion."

"Has Master Xu Sheng found any suspicious figures in Jishi Mountain?" Huai Mingmo wiped off the wine stains on his hands with a handkerchief, his voice flat.

Xu Sheng responded calmly, with a calm tone, "The poor monk got this painting purely by accident. Could it be that he got sick a few days ago and lost a few herbs, so the poor monk had no choice but to go to the West Sea to pick them. On weekdays, the poor monk seldom goes to Jishi Mountain to get rid of it." The area outside Shaolin, so even though the Fragrance Pirate lived in the mountains, the poor monk never met him face to face."

Shu Muxi chewed the vegetarian cake on the table, and said in a vague way: "I heard that the lightness kung fu of Xiang Pirates is amazing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch up with it. I have seen the light kung fu of the smelly monk before. It's not too bad, but it's definitely not as good as Xiang Pirates. "

"This stinky monk's lightness skill is not even comparable to mine. If you want him to find the incense thief in the mountains, you will be disappointed." Hua Xinglou used a long handle to stir the unburned agarwood powder buried under the soot, Andi admires Xusheng's calmness.

"Master Xusheng, Huai has something on his mind, so he has to ask."

"Master Huai, please tell me, the poor monk will know everything."

Huai Mingmo walked slowly to Xu Sheng's side, and said slowly, "The relationship between Master Xu Sheng and the incense thief."

"Could it be that Mr. Huai is still suspicious of Miss Zhu Ling from Han Gongchun in Qingzhou Prefecture?" Xu Sheng answered irrelevantly, with a little panic in his expression, "Miss Zhu Ling does know some martial arts, but it is far-fetched to say that she is a incense thief. "

"The little devil from Medicine King Valley happened to come to the Hermitage Villa some time ago, and he said that he had met Master Xu Sheng at the beginning of autumn." Xin Li's words were more straightforward, but seeing Xu Sheng's normal expression returned, he couldn't help frowning, and his tone was not as good. Only then did he affirm, "Why is Master Xu Sheng in the Valley of Medicine Kings?"

"The poor monk needs the beard grass from the Baicao Valley to make the healing medicine. Unexpectedly, he was injured by a female swordsman in red in the valley. He had no choice but to go to the Yaowang Caolu to heal his wounds..."

Taking advantage of his unprepared sneak attack, Xin Li hit Xu Sheng's chest directly, intending to take his life, the attack was quick and ruthless.Seeing this, Hua Xinglou and Shu Muxi immediately tried to block it, but it was obviously too late, the folding fan as sharp as a sword had already touched the skirt of the monk's robe.

Xu Sheng's expression seemed to be in a hurry, he backed away in fright, suddenly his wrist was grabbed by Huai Mingmo, he fell to the side, and almost crashed into Huai Mingmo's arms.Escaping from the dead, Xu Sheng's complexion turned pale, and he hurriedly expressed his thanks and bowed his palms together.

"Xinli, it's too offensive." Ji Deen hurried forward to check on Xusheng, making sure that he was not injured, and let go of his suspense.

"Young Master Huai's behavior is impressive, in order to test the smelly monk's meritorious deeds, he did not hesitate to use killers to test him." Hua Xinglou sternly said: "The Hidden World Villa is really good education."

"It's the poor monk who acted suspiciously, that's why he was suspected." Xu Sheng clasped his hands in his sleeves, seeing Huai Mingmo's lost look, even though it was a dangerous bet, it was still worth it.

Huai Mingmo's grasp of Xu Sheng is not enough, but he has already tested the opponent's internal strength, at best it can be regarded as a middle-of-the-road success, far from the Fragrance Bandit.The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched extremely tightly, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated, most of them were disappointment, and besides the disappointment, he seemed a little more lonely.Huai Mingmo calmed down his emotions a bit, cupped his hands and apologized: "This subordinate is reckless, please forgive Master Xu Sheng."

"Forgive me? Just now you spoke righteously and said the right way, and what you did didn't want to be more dirty than the way of the devil." Shu Muxi had never been used to the words and deeds of hypocrites on the surface of the right way. Can't help but sneer.

"Recently, the Hermitage Villa has been framed by slander, and it is easy to understand Mr. Xin's anxiety. Mr. Huai does not need to apologize, and the poor monk was not injured, so there is nothing to be forgiven."

Zheng Fengnian elbowed Xinli, winked and said in a low voice, "You're to blame."

"Could it be that we misunderstood?" Xinli froze in place, regretting his impulsive actions.

Ji Deen patted the back of Xinli's head with moderate strength, and reprimanded: "Look at what you did."

"Master Xusheng..." Xinli was supported on the knees before kneeling, and only heard in his ear: "Amitabha, Mr. Xin, don't do this, the poor monk can't bear it. The tea is not good when it is cold. It's a pity that I finally found Yueshan Silver Needle." Xu Sheng let go of Xin Li, and sat back at the table, with a cloudy smile on his lips, "I heard that some countries in the Western Regions have not been peaceful recently, which has affected the people's business. ?"

Xu Sheng's magnanimity obviously left a very good impression on the people in the room. The person concerned was willing to let it go, and the others couldn't hold him back. Only Zi Gui kept staring at Xin Li viciously, and Shi Cai was too scared to speak. Slowed down and treated Xinli as an enemy.

Hua Xinglou shook his head and lamented, "It's hard to say now, but I'm afraid there will be war."

"Small countries in the Western Regions are short of supplies. If a war breaks out, it will inevitably affect the peace of the border of North Meng." Ji Deen continued: "Not only North Meng, but also West Shu will be affected."

Xu Sheng squinted his eyes with bright ink, even though his face was expressionless, Xu Sheng still saw the frown that seemed to be there, even if he talked silently, he could still see through his mind, "Would the king of Western Shu Dingxi sit in Beicheng, how could he stand by and watch? Difficult to mess up."

"What if King Dingxi never takes action?" Seeing Xu Sheng's eloquent words, Xin Li asked a little strangely.

"Emperor Meng's ambition is to send troops in the name of quelling chaos." Hua Xinglou sneered and sneered, seeing too many border disputes in recent years, he said without hesitation: "Meng Shicheng's mind is too clear, he wants to annex the Western Regions , although I didn’t say it, but who knows, I couldn’t find a good reason for not doing it before.” Seeing that Xin Li opened his mouth to argue, Hua Xinglou smiled more and more contemptuously, “You guys are a little forgetful, 30 years The former Northern Meng...oh, no. It should be said that the Northern Yu was the one who destroyed the peace and prosperity, causing the country to be devastated and the people slaughtered. If it weren't for the Western Shu and Southern Qi to join forces to fight against the enemy, it is estimated that everyone in the world would have the surname Meng."

"Today's Emperor Meng is different from the previous emperor, and his benevolence can be seen." Huai Mingmo's defense was so pale that he couldn't even tell how much he could trust.

"Benevolence?" Shu Muxi seemed to have heard an extremely ridiculous joke, and burst into tears, saying word by word: "It was so dangerous to seize the heirloom back then, to be able to stand out from the brothers and sit on the throne, is kindness enough? Ruthless son, say You don’t like to hear a sentence, you can say that Emperor Meng is diligent in politics, loves the people, and governs the country well, but he is not worthy of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. Otherwise, why did the previous dynasty not survive in the world? Don’t forget, he even Princess Anhui, was only five years old at the time. Even a girl who was [-] years old was never let go. The civil servants of the former court, those who did not want to enter the court and become politicians, were punished all over the family, and Meng Shicheng has not stopped for a year after he became emperor. How can this behavior be benevolent?" The two said excitedly, The whites of his eyes were slightly red, and every word was almost squeezed out of his throat.

"Could it be that you are from the previous dynasty..." Huai Mingmo hesitated to speak, he would rather not know the truth about the disaster that would bring death to others.

"It's too rare and common for the change of dynasties to cause disasters from prosperity to decline." The people present were either sad or angry, only Xu Sheng was very calm, and there was no wave in any words, and he was not like a person at all.

Xinli knew from Huai Mingmo's reaction just now that Xu Sheng is not a incense thief, but he couldn't let go of his guard against Xu Sheng.Maybe Shaolin eminent monks can achieve a normal mind after years of practice, but he always feels that his life is different. This monk's emotions are invisible, his black eyes are like abysses and ancient wells, making people feel cold and sweaty on the back.

There was a knock on the door outside the withered grass hut, "Is the little brother in there?"

"Zigui go to open a room." Xu Sheng gently pushed Zigui's back, and said with a smile, "Brother, please come in."

Zigui Pidianpidian walked to the main entrance, because he was still short, it was a bit difficult to open the door, "Little Master."

When Xu Jing entered the room and saw the room full of people, he was used to it and didn't feel strange, so he just bowed to Shi Chao Huai Mingmo and others, "Master, please invite Mr. Huai and Mr. Ji. I wonder if it would be convenient for you two?"

Huai Mingmo smiled and did not refuse. After all, it is unreasonable to come to Shaolin without visiting the abbot of Shaolin. He replied, "Please ask Master Xu Jing to lead the way." Even Xu Sheng couldn't help admiring this ability.

"The poor monk will send you off." Xu Sheng winked at the two people behind him, and followed out of the withered grass hut, passing by Xu Jing with a strange squint, and said with a warm smile: "Little brother, the monk's clothes are wrinkled like this, it's so embarrassing." It's a little impolite to receive distinguished guests." Xu Sheng reminded in a very soft voice, as if he really thought of Shaolin.

Xu Jing looked down, hurriedly straightened the monk's clothes, and sighed, "When I came, I met Senior Brother Xu Ji, and I don't know what he was thinking in panic, so he bumped into me suddenly. Thank you, Junior Brother, for reminding me to take Mr. Huai with me like this." They go, and if the master sees them, they will not be nagged."

"Who told you to always act frizzy."

"Master Xujing?" Ji Deen found that Xujing hadn't followed, so he turned around and called.

"Be calm, I don't care about you." Xu Jing responded, and hurriedly followed.
