Poor monks do not break the precepts

After the new rain, the sweltering weather is gradually getting a bit cooler, which makes it refreshing and pleasant in late autumn.The scorching sun in the afternoon was slowly sinking to the west, reflecting the layers of clouds, and the rays of light penetrated through the octagonal grilles and shone on Xu Sheng's face, making his complexion extraordinarily rosy.

After Xu Sheng finished breathing out his inner breath for the last week, he stretched out his hand to lightly touch his little bare head leaning against the edge of the couch.Xu Shi was getting dark and the autumn wind was a bit cool, Xiao Yeyuan sat on the bamboo and rattan chair with her knees bent, sleeping soundly with her arms around her legs.Rice slept in Ye Yuan's arms at first, but later she felt hot, so she simply jumped onto the bed and leaned on her back, without the slightest air of a fox being noble and arrogant.

"Little one, wake up." Xu Sheng patted Ye Yuan's head a few times, and then repeatedly poked the rice's furry white belly, "Don't rely on me to sleep, get up quickly."

It was so easy to wake up a child from sleep, Ye Yuan slapped Xu Sheng's hand away, climbed onto the low couch in a daze, pulled the thin quilt folded behind Xu Sheng's back, covered his head and continued to doze off.The white fox rice opened slightly, seeing that Xu Sheng was teasing it, it was not annoyed at all, and groaned, hugging Xu Sheng's hand with its front paws, closing its eyes and not getting up.

Xu Sheng smiled wryly and shook his head, revealing a rare true temperament, he was a little uncomfortable, it has been too long since he was not allowed to be on guard and pretend.

It's a pity that the comfortable life is always short, and the creaking sound of the wooden door being pushed open directly interrupts his short leisure time.Walked outside the house was an old man who knew nothing, dressed in simple gray cloth, calling Ye Yuan's name.

"Who are you?" The old man looked at Xu Sheng vigilantly, obviously not welcoming this unknown stranger.

There was a kind smile on Xu Sheng's face, but the same shallow smile was very different from just now.He stretched out his hand to pat Xiao Ye Yuan several times, and the force on his hand became slightly heavier, "Little one, your grandpa Gu Yu is here to pick you up."

The old man frowned slightly, because Xiao Ye Yuan was within easy reach of the other party, his attitude was a little restrained, but this politeness made people sound awkward, "Young man, do you know who the old man is?"

Xu Sheng patted Xiao Ye Yuan from time to time, because he knew the identity of the old man, he was very humble to him, "Xiao Budian just mentioned you again, in this mountain and field, I don't think there are many old men who should know him."

Bai Guyu used to wander in the rivers and lakes, and didn't settle here until he met the King of Medicine. Naturally, he can see that the monk in front of him is an extraordinary person, but right now he is respectful, polite and non-hostile to him, so he doesn't plan to take Ye Yuan forcibly.Bai Guyu carefully observes the person in front of him. He is wearing a frosty white monk's robe. The cuffs of his clothes are obviously stained with water and mud, but it makes people feel that he is spotless. The corner of his mouth is smiling gently and alienated. It is illusory, like a white cloud in the nine sky, and like a drop of dew in the fog.

Xiao Ye Yuan originally wanted to sleep more, but Xu Sheng couldn't sleep because of Xu Sheng's photograph. He seemed to hear Grandpa Gu Yu's voice in a daze, so he rubbed his eyes and slowly got up, "Grandpa Gu Yu?" Looking again, it was indeed Bai Guyu, immediately got into Bai Guyu's arms soberly, and said enthusiastically: "Grandpa Gu Yu, you are back." Turning around, he said to Xu Sheng: "Great monk, this is my grandpa Gu Yu."

Xu Sheng smiled lightly and went down to the ground, at this moment he suddenly forgot that the mud marks on the shoes were still there, he folded his hands together and bowed to Bai Gu Yu, "The poor monk's name is Xu Sheng, just now I saw that I was injured, so I took medicinal materials from you to help me brew it , I haven't thanked you yet."

Bai Guyu's brows twitched suddenly, and she murmured, as if she couldn't believe it at all, "The wonderful monk of the Shaolin School is born in vain?"

"The poor monk is indeed from the Shaolin School of Jishi Mountain, but the word "miao monk" is really not worthy of him."

Bai Guyu hugged Xiao Ye Yuan in disbelief, stunned for a long time but couldn't recover.What kind of person is this wonderful monk Xusheng? His qin, flute and chess paintings are all unique in the martial arts world. The monarchs of Western Shu sent envoys to ask for paintings but could not see them; See; as for Emperor Meng's visit to Shaolin every year, it is said that he came here for self-cultivation. In fact, everyone in the know knows that Emperor Meng just wants to hear the wonderful music that Jishi Houshan occasionally gets up and plays along with the music.Shaolin Miaoseng and Hermit Young Master, two people who seldom travel in the rivers and lakes, but their names are spread all over the rivers and lakes. At this time, there is a person alive in front of their eyes, how can it not be shocking.

Xiao Yeyuan shook Bai Guyu's arm and called out, "Grandpa Gu Yu? Grandpa Gu Yu!"

Bai Guyu was frightened back by Xiao Ye Yuan's scream, half-believing and half-questioning: "I don't know why Master is here?"

"The poor monk originally intended to come to the Yaowang Valley to take the mustard grass, but the blood rain in the rivers and lakes polluted innocent people, so he could only go to the Yaowang Caolu to avoid disaster for half a day."

Bai Guyu caught a glimpse of Xu Sheng's jade flute with excellent water head, it was like the blue waves of mountain springs, and it was as pure as snow water on the top of the mountain. If he was a little skeptical a moment ago, he now fully believes it.Bai Guyu may not know anyone, but he knows the green flute, and even more the owner of the jade flute, "I hope Master Xusheng will forgive me for being rude." The roots of the condensed beard exposed from the waist pocket, "It's late today, and the master's body has not recovered. Why don't you stay for half a day to adjust your breath. I'll go to the small kitchen to make some medicinal food, and it won't be too late to leave the valley tomorrow morning."

Xu Sheng was worried that the hidden guards who were chasing after him would not be able to wait for anyone on the official road, and would turn back and harm Xiao Ye Yuan and Bai Gu Yu, so he refused: "No need, the poor monk still has something to do, so we can't delay any longer." At the end of the day, Xu Sheng flew out of the house, and disappeared from Yaowang's thatched cottage in a blink of an eye.

The injury was almost healed, Xu Sheng flew easily in the dense forest, he was not in a hurry to get out of the valley, instead he wandered around in the valley, looking for conspicuous and hidden places.Since the Xingxiu sword manual is fake, it is useless for him to keep it around, and it is easy to reveal his identity, so he plans to temporarily hide the fake sword manual in the Valley of Medicine Kings, and send someone to fetch it later.Unknowingly, I have been staying in the valley until the sun sets, the sky is thin and the clouds are sparse, and the sky is gradually covered with a cold silver moon. There seems to be silver powder scattered in the mountains and forests, and the light penetrates from the branches and leaves, casting crystal and clarity.

Xu Sheng wandered around and decided to hide the sword manual by the stream not far from the valley. There was a protruding boulder beside the trickling stream, and there happened to be an ancient tulip tree beside it, with lush branches and leaves, suitable for hiding.Xu Sheng jumped onto the tulip tree branch twice, wrapped the fake sword manual in leather paper, stuffed it into the tree hole near the trunk, and then planned to leave the valley.

As soon as the person landed on the ground, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the dense forest not far away, Xu Sheng immediately snapped vigilantly: "Who?! Come out!"

Although wild birds and small animals often appeared in the mountains of Yaowang Valley, most of them were small animals such as hares. The noise just now was obviously not caused by animals in the mountains.Xu Sheng floated towards the place where the sound came from, flying out like a sharp sword, the wind of his palm pushed away the green branches and leaves in front of him, the closer he got, the louder the rustling sound, his palm was ready to attack the peeping people directly , suddenly saw a small bald head appear in front of his eyes, Xu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes slightly, turned around in the air, and stood in front of Ye Yuan.

Xu Sheng was slightly suspicious, and observed the situation around him vigilantly and carefully, but did not hear any other movement, "What are you doing here?"

"Great monk!" Little Ye Yuan ran out of breath, and finally caught up with Xu Sheng at Taniguchi, the purse tightly grasped by his immature hands was already soaked in sweat, "Here you are."

Xu Sheng pinched two pills in his purse, sniffed them carefully, felt the warmth flowing through his heart, smiled lightly and touched Xiao Ye Yuan's smooth head, "Is it still dew pill?" Seeing Xiao Ye Yuan nodding repeatedly, Xu Sheng Sheng carefully hid the purse in his dark pocket, and said: "Young man, go back early, don't let senior Bai Guyu worry."

"Well. Goodbye, Great Monk, remember to come back to play next time." Xiao Yeyuan ran to Yaowang Caolu, and waved back.

"I'll come to see you in a while, be careful where you step, don't trip over." Xu Sheng reminded kindly with a smile, watching Xiao Ye Yuan go, his eyes suddenly flickered, his eyes flashed, as if he was searching for prey, he didn't let go A little bells and whistles.After waiting for a long time for no one to reveal his whereabouts, he must have fled. Xu Sheng knew that since he didn't know where that person was, he might not be in the valley anymore, and searching would be a waste of time, so he sighed and went straight out of Yaowang Valley.

There is a road not far from the Valley of the King of Medicine, which is a shortcut from the capital to the Five Elements Mountain. It is two days faster than passing through Gyeongju Prefecture and then detouring.This road is built along the Canglang River, and the scenery is pleasant by the mountains and rivers. Although it is more dangerous than the official road on the plain, there are still many literati, scholars and Confucian scholars who choose this road, and often express their feelings, or compose poems and lyrics, or Composing music, calligraphy and painting, so Xu Sheng was not surprised when he met Shen Mengjun, a famous talented girl in Beimeng.

"Miss Shen is very elegant, and she came here to set up a table and write an inscription at the first break of the shower."

"I've been used to seeing the Canglang River with clear skies for a long time. It's rare to have the opportunity to see the beauty of this beauty just after the rain. I just happened to be passing by." Dust, compared with the previous few encounters, it is really not clean and dust-free, but when you look closely at these inadvertently contaminated dirt, it looks like ordinary things, just to set off the illusory aloofness.Shen Mengjun asked the maid to pour a cup of tea, put it on the side of the wooden case, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Monk Xu Sheng is still as strong as ever."

Xu Sheng clasped his hands together to salute, but he was not polite to her, sitting cross-legged on a low rattan stool, drinking a cup of tea alone, "The poor monk has something to ask Miss Shen." After Shen Mengjun made a gesture of invitation, Xu Sheng's tone was as flat as a homely chatter, "I wonder if Miss Shen has been painting here for half a day, but has anyone passed by in a hurry?"

"I have been here for more than half a day, and I have never seen anyone passing by." Shen Mengjun smiled and turned his head, and confirmed with the maid behind him, "Xiao Tao, have you noticed the suspicious person passing through the forest?"

"Miss Jin, no one appeared from the forest next to the carriage."

Shen Mengjun saw that Xu Sheng was very concerned about this matter, and asked Xiao Tao again solemnly, "Could it be that walking in the forest is blocked by branches and leaves, do you think carefully, is there any special noise?"

Xiaotao was still shaking her head in deep thought, and Liu Ye frowned lightly, "Miss, there really isn't much movement in the mountains."

Xu Sheng tilted his head to look at Xiaotao who was wearing a green shirt, the sun was setting and the light was getting darker, she seemed to have not entered the green mountains and seas, it would be hard to be spotted if she didn't follow the sound carefully.When asked, he didn't have any hope, Xu Sheng smiled and said indifferently: "The poor monk has a lot of things to do, let Shen girl and Xiaotao girl bother."

"It's just a little effort, but it's a pity that I can't help you at all." Shen Mengjun calmly finished the last stroke, and recruited Xiaotao to clean up the four treasures of the study, "Master Xusheng is planning to return to Shaolin?"

"I was ordered by my teacher to send some things to Yuxu, and now I plan to go to Qingzhou Prefecture."

Shen Mengjun's face was calm, and he was a little confused: "Qingzhou Prefecture?"

Xu Sheng smiled lightly and said slowly: "The half-year agreement, the poor monk dare not live up to it." Xu Sheng's body was white and clean, except for the black jade gourd on his waist, which suddenly caught his eyes.

Shen Mengjun glanced at the wine gourd, and immediately came to his senses, he smiled lightly and said: "If you say that the most enviable person in the Jianghu, he should be the passionate young man. I am lucky to be able to pay the monk Xusheng, and the rascal made an appointment for the second half of the year to taste all kinds of wine. More than a year ago, she was lucky enough to drink the rain peach brewed by Xusheng, and she was half drunk in the spring of Taoyuan. The fragrance of the wine was mellow and mellow for three days. The purchase of snow truffles and cold plum brew did not come true, so I wonder what Monk Xu Sheng brought this time?"

Xu Sheng unscrewed the lid of the gourd wine, a scent of water lily slowly wafted out, he was not stingy, poured a small cup and pushed it in front of Shen Mengjun, "Made from the water lotus in Yaoting Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, Miss Shen please."

The translucent jade liquid in the cup seems to be able to confuse people's hearts. Shen Mengjun salivated and didn't even bother to say polite words. He raised his sleeves to cover his face and drank it. I don't know if it's the luck of others or your misfortune to produce the fine wine that the famous people in the world seek."

"What the poor monk brews is the state of mind, what other people taste is fine wine, why is it so unfortunate?" Xu Sheng put away the jade gourd, got up and planned to leave.

"It takes a few days to get to Qingzhou Prefecture from here, and I happen to be going to Wuxue Academy, why don't I give you a ride?" Shen Mengjun held up his empty cup and said with a smile: "It should be a gift in return, Monk Wang Xusheng, don't refuse .”

"The poor monk is very grateful for Miss Shen's kindness, the kindness is hard to turn down." Xu Sheng lowered his eyes and looked deeply at Xiao Tao who was bending over to tidy up. aware.

After Xiaotao finished packing and put them in the wooden box of the carriage, Shen Mengjun asked Xusheng to get on the carriage, and sent Xiaotao to call the driver who was sleeping secretly in the woods.

According to Xusheng's lightness skills, the time it takes to fly from Yaowang Valley to Qingzhou Prefecture is much faster than taking a chariot and horse, but Xu Sheng seems to have changed his temper today, so he agreed to go with Shen Mengjun in chariot and horse.Seeing Xu Sheng got into the carriage, Chen Xiang was extremely surprised, and couldn't figure out the owner's intention, so he could only follow behind the carriage.The speed of the carriages and horses was not fast, and several times agarwood flew past the carriages and horses, and they simply waited in the tea shop next to the official road to cool off.She is very eye-catching in red clothes, and from time to time, people around her will watch them secretly, but no one dares to provoke her. Vermilion is supposed to be a bright and warm color, but wearing it on her makes people feel chills. This slim red shirt seemed to be blood-stained, and the dagger at the elbow was extremely sharp, and a fierce light could be seen faintly.

There are quite a few sword masters in the arena, but not many seem to be integrated with the sword, let alone women.People in the rivers and lakes all guessed the identity of the woman, suddenly a carriage passed by, and in a blink of an eye, they saw the woman drifting away, and there were more than ten copper coins beside the tea cup, which made the tea shop owner very happy.

Such a mysterious woman should have been the talk of the martial arts recently, but it happened when Xiang Pirates broke into the hidden world villa at night, so it was naturally buried by this big event, so it didn't spread.Xu Sheng expected this to be the case, so he didn't restrict Chen Xiang from showing up, and let her accompany him all the way.
