Poor monks do not break the precepts

Birds and birds were singing outside the house, Huai Mingmo leaned on the chaise longue by the windowsill but didn't want to move, since he lay here thinking about things last night, he hadn't had a good sleep almost all night, only taking short breaks one after another.

Xinli got up a little earlier than usual today. When he helped Huai Mingmo go to bed last night, he always felt that he was pregnant, so he expected Huai Mingmo to wake up early. "Pavilion master?" Xin Li tiptoed to push the door in, stood by the door and called softly, but he could not hear the slightest sound from the bedroom, he lowered his footsteps and carefully walked around the screen door carved with clouds and dragon patterns, and said anxiously: "Mr. The wind and dew in the early morning are heavy, the pavilion master has always been in poor health, and the beginning of autumn has just passed, even though the moon is still hot, you can't be sloppy."

Huai Mingmo turned his head and fixed his eyes on Xin Li's direction, and said with a smile, "When did you learn to be as verbose as Hong Gu."

"It turns out that the Patriarch despises me so much." The woman who was following Xin Li was about forty years old, with dark eyebrows and almond eyes, and she was holding a bun with a wooden hairpin casually, and came in with washing water with a smile.

Xin Li helped Huai Mingmo who was about to get up, "Pavilion Master be careful."

Recently, there have been a lot of affairs in the Jianghu court, and Huai Mingmo has not slept well for more than a month, and he has stayed up all night with slight bruises under his eyes, trying to brace himself up.Honggu watched Huai Mingmo grow up when she was a child, and she felt distressed when she saw him so haggard, "Since you took over the Xuanji Pavilion, you have been concerned about everything in the pavilion, big or small, how can your body bear it? You don't take care of your body, Can you also be considerate of us who take care of you? If we are exhausted like the year before last, we will have to bear the blame, not only Mr. Ji will blame us, but even the ladies in the palace will be alarmed."

"Last night there was lightning and thunder all night. I was woken up in the middle of the night. The rain was really annoying. I thought I would be able to fall asleep in a while, but I didn't want to go to sleep until midnight."

Huai Mingmo's explanation was vague, and Hong Gu didn't believe it. She took a look at Xin Li and said angrily, "From tonight, you guys will take turns to watch the night, so that no one will know when the head of the family wakes up at night. No one can afford it."

Xinli dismissed the maid who had been watching the night in the previous house according to her intentions. After learning about it, Honggu strongly opposed it for a while, but in the end she couldn't hold back and had to give up.Now that Honggu happened to take advantage of that incident to make trouble, Xinli couldn't speak out because of the hardships he was ordered to do, and he responded vaguely, and he was well aware of his own cabinet master's temperament, this matter was very difficult to handle.

Hong Gu always liked to chatter about things for a long time, Huai Mingmo and Xin Li were secretly complaining, when there was a series of sprinting sounds outside the house, Luo Chen broke in sweating profusely, and dragged Hong Gu out while talking, "Hong Gu Go and have a look, Zang Li is worried about the little maids making breakfast for the pavilion master, so she insists on doing it herself."

Although Zang Li is a woman, she was born with knives and swords, unlike ordinary girls who can enter the kitchen. In the past, Honggu never thought about teaching Zang Li to cook, but it was the first time she let Zang Li follow up in the small kitchen. As a result, the Wanting Pavilion was flooded, and from then on, Honggu didn't allow her to enter her small kitchen, not even half a step.

Upon hearing this, Hong Gu hurriedly said, "Why don't you stop her?"

"I can't stop her, you know her temper, how can she be stopped casually?" Luo Chen quickly followed Aunt Hong, walked out of the main house together, and rushed towards the small kitchen.

The small kitchen is only a few steps away from the main house. Not long after Luo Chen and Zheng Fengnian returned to the main house, Zang Li was still missing.

Huai Mingmo was wearing a moon-white dark dress, the corners of his mouth were slightly tight, but the corners of his eyes showed a soft smile, "Nonsense! Zang Li come out." Hearing the slight sound from the window, Huai Mingmo asked earnestly: "Who gave you a bad idea?" Zang Li hesitated and refused to confess the mastermind, but Huai Mingmo had a delicate heart, and immediately heard the clue, "Luo Chen, you are getting bolder and bolder, Lian Hong Aunts are all playing games."

After hearing this, Luo Chen was not afraid at all, and he still looked like he was laughing, "I risk being scolded and nag me by Aunt Hong after she finds out, to ensure that the owner of Pavilion Baobao can have a peaceful early morning, and he is so loyal. I remember the last time Aunt Hong Gu has been nagging for a long time because of trivial matters, her posture...you have all felt it, and no one can stand it."

Zheng Fengnian has a stable temperament, as a secret guard, he is reticent, he doesn't want the apprentice he taught to chatter all day long, he shakes his head helplessly and coughs, reminding Luo Chen not to forget his identity.

"Sounding grand." Xin Li wrung the face veil for Huai Mingmo, and Luo Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Looking for a lot of reasons, in the end, it's just that you don't want to watch the night."

Luo Chen was so choked by Xinli that he couldn't speak, he stared back at Xinli, and whistled by himself.

Seeing Luo Chen being scolded, Zang Li pulled up Huaiming Mo's sleeve, and shook it lightly, "Xiao Li doesn't like vigil either, she has nothing to do, and she's tired and exhausted." Zang Li is shorter than ordinary girls On weekdays, Luo Chen takes care of errands in Xuanji Pavilion. Because of her appearance, most people will relax their guard against her. They only think that she is a lonely little girl, but in front of acquaintances, she is still like a child, and she likes to act like a baby.Huai Mingmo would not specifically restrain her, and treated her as his own sister.

"I don't need to watch the night, so I don't need you to watch the night." Huai Mingmo was out of breath, and because of Zang Li's pleading, he couldn't hold back his face, and said with a light smile: "The look on Hong Gu's face when she went out just now must be very funny, I rarely hear her The footsteps are so loud."

Xin Li said happily: "Hong Gu's lightness kung fu is good, I didn't expect..." In the middle of speaking, a ghostly figure flashed in Xin Li's mind, and he couldn't hold back his energy to laugh at Hong Gu.

Huai Ming's eyes were blind and his heart was clear, and he immediately noticed something strange about Xin Li, and he also missed this person in his heart, "There are rumors in the world that there are two specialties in incense robbers. It should be the three masters, her internal strength is unfathomable, her martial arts moves are unpredictable and unstoppable, she is an extremely powerful character."

Zheng Fengnian's eyesight is excellent in the dark, he clearly saw the whole fighting process last night, he nodded and said: "Xiang Pirate's martial arts are really astonishing, the pavilion master caught her with his black fingers several times, and she resolved it in a blink of an eye. Pirate's palm technique is as ethereal as his lightness kung fu."

Luo Chen stomped his feet and said with great shame: "Don't talk about her martial arts, just her lightness kung fu, I'm beyond my reach." Luo Chen pondered for a while, his brows seemed to be knotted, "What exactly is the lightness kung fu of Xiang Pirate? Mr. Ji’s Shuolongxing, Jianzong Chu’s Flying on the Grass, or Mr. Butterfly’s Misty Shadow, all have shortcomings, such as slow jumping speed, poor height, slow flying speed, and strange lightness kung fu However, the first two are often worse. Even if the pavilion master learned from Wan Sheng Xin Dharma to improve the gap between the two, it is still not as good as Xiang Pirate's lightness kung fu, which is simply...not a human body."

"She made two kinds of lightness kung fu." Huai Mingmo said lightly, and everyone in the room was surprised when they heard the words, and Huai Mingmo affirmed: "There is only one kind of lightness kung fu in the world that can jump to a high place so quickly. There is no other way of stepping on the clouds, which has been lost for a long time in the rivers and lakes. As for the other kind..." He thought of Xin Li's account of Xiang's robber crossing the Canglang River. He didn't have any clue, "It seems that there is no pen and paper record of this qinggong formula, maybe it was passed on by word of mouth, so I don't know."

Xinli opened the fan and shook it lightly, calming down his thoughts and said: "Xiang Pirates always do things in their own way, who asked her to steal the Xingxiu sword manual? I really can't think of a reason to invite her, she is from the Jianghu, and She loves to be alone, and even the people in the world have never seen her true face, so how does the person who asks her know her true identity?"

It was rare for Luo Chen to show a serious expression, and he snorted coldly: "No matter who it is, it's just those few people in the palace who want to usurp the throne..."

"Shut up! Misfortune comes out of your mouth, don't you know!" Zheng Fengnian sternly stopped Luo Chen, he was Luo Chen's master, he had his own deterrent, Luo Chen curled his tongue and did not continue.

Huai Mingmo showed his face and smiled lightly, and said calmly: "The room is full of our own people, it's okay to complain a few words, but you must not say anything when you go out." Letting Xin Li twist his hair into a bun for himself, Huai Ming Mo's eyes were full of tears. Showing a rare gleam of determination, he said in a cold tone: "No matter who it is, he has already invited us a strong enemy. Brother Zheng, recently sent more secret guards to guard the Wanting Pavilion. Fragrance steals eyes and ears, but there is no guarantee that you will be so lucky next time."

"Subordinates take orders."

Xin Li carefully put on the white jade crown for Huai Mingmo, and said in a low voice, "I asked Mr. Qin to keep an eye on the palaces to see who has contact with incense robbers."

"According to what you said, it's just..." Huai Mingmo sighed helplessly, and smiled hopelessly: "I'm afraid they won't have any direct contact with the incense robbers, and who are the incense robbers and what do they look like?" Still a mystery."

Zang Li slept last night, and after listening to what her son said, she covered her mouth and yawned, muttering, "It's better than not checking."

Huai Mingmo was stunned, raised his hand to stop Zheng Fengnian who was about to scold him, and said in a calm tone: "What Xiaoli said is that I was thinking complicatedly. I think Honggu has already prepared breakfast, so let's sit around the table and eat something first." .”

Wan Ting Hall is usually quiet, but it is not as good as today, Huai Ming Mo doesn't talk much, usually he would still say a few words when he gets together to eat, but now he is only concerned about drinking porridge, he seems to have a lot of worries.Luo Chen and Zang Li said a few words at first to adjust the atmosphere, but everyone was too lazy to say more, so they both cooled down.

"The rain finally stopped. Last night's heavy rain was really scary." Luo Chen said without thinking, Huai Mingmo slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and his eyes moved to the direction where the incense thief left yesterday.

Xin Li has been serving Huai Mingmo since he was a child. Not to mention he is the most loyal to Huai Mingmo, he is also the one who understands the thoughts of his own pavilion master best. It’s just..." He stole a glance at Huai Mingmo's expression of listening carefully, and said intentionally, "In this way, I'm afraid the water in the Canglang River will be even more turbulent. Fortunately, the Fragrant Pirates crossed the river before the rainstorm last night, otherwise they would be safe. Don't fall into the river."

Luo Chen put down the silver spoon and looked at Xinli in bewilderment, "What are you talking about the Fragrant Pirates for? It would be great if she really got involved in the river, so that we don't have to watch day and night to prevent her from coming again."

Zang Li nodded again and again, agreeing: "Since it's troublesome, I don't care about her life or death."

Zheng Fengnian is old and sees many things more clearly, so he can naturally see the reason why the pavilion master is uneasy, and he sighs inwardly when he hears the nonsense of the two juniors around him.

Only a few people knew about the burglar at the Hidden World Villa, but for some reason, it spread all over the martial arts world in a short time, and half of the people in the Jianghu knew that Xiangrobber visited the Hidden World Villa at night. Huaiming Mo originally meant to hide it, but The rivers and lakes spread uproariously.Just after breakfast, and before the plates and chopsticks could be removed, Mr. Ji, the head of the Hidden World Villa, sent his personal maid to invite someone.

"Why is Sister Qingtao so free today?"

Qingtao turned a blind eye to Luo Chen who had a smile on his face, didn't show any good looks, and bowed his knees in front of Huai Mingmo, "Young Master, Mr. Ji has something to do, please go."

Huai Mingmo put down You Xi Li Ji in his hand, supported the edge of the imperial concubine's couch and slowly got up, and said politely: "Sister Qingtao is not very polite, do you know why mother is looking for me?"

Qingtao didn't show the slightest hint, and said with a smile: "I don't know, it's the servant's turn to inquire about the owner's affairs."

Huai Mingmo smiled softly, and said in a no-nonsense way: "Sister Qingtao is my mother's personal servant girl, how can she not know about it at all, these words are obviously prevarication and dismissing me."

Qingtao understands her young master's temper. She usually speaks like a spring breeze, and has a gentle and calm temperament, unlike Miss Ji who is hot-tempered. Regardless of the identity of the other party, she is very polite to everyone.So when it comes to the part just now, there is obviously a trace of anger, "Young master wronged the servant, the servant really didn't know, the servant was busy in the courtyard, it was Aunt Qiao who asked me to invite you. The matter is probably a little serious , when the maidservant came out, he happened to meet Uncle Ji and Second Master Ji coming at the same time, and they didn't look very good."

"Uncle?" Huai Mingmo mused for a moment, and he had some eyebrows in his heart, "Understood, please trouble Sister Qingtao to report that I will go right away."

Xinli sent Qingtao away in person, and came back dejectedly, apparently without any other useful information, "Pavilion Master, could it be that Mr. Ji is looking for you about the incense robbers last night?"

Huai Mingmo was upset for no reason, he pinched the bridge of his nose, and said with certainty: "It must be about what happened last night, but there was no outsider there yesterday, so how would they know." He sighed, his eyes slightly hesitant The color, murmured in a low voice, "I didn't want them to know."

Luo Chen couldn't hold back his words, and felt that Huai Mingmo's words were unreasonable, and said bluntly: "The Fragrance Bandit dares to sneak into the hidden world villa, so he should be prepared to be an enemy of the hidden world villa. Why doesn't the pavilion master let Mr. Ji I know, does the pavilion master have other plans?"

"When did the pavilion master report to you one by one about his plans?"

Seeing Xin Li's eyebrows twitch, Luo Chen recalled that what he said just now was really presumptuous, scratching his head and scratching his ears, trying to explain, "I didn't mean that, but I don't understand why the pavilion master wants to protect the incense thieves, hey, let's not talk about it. It gets darker."

Huai Mingmo stood up with a chuckle, persuaded and said: "Luo Chen just made an unintentional mistake, don't hold on to it. Let's go, we can't keep the elders waiting."
