The monk who is going to cross me is bent

Zhuang Yan's yard is very large, with a piece of apricot blossoms planted there.When it is in full bloom in early summer, the rich aroma fills the whole yard, even if you stay at home, you can also smell it in the house.

Lying on Zhuang Yan's bed and smelling the apricot blossoms, Xiao Chi recovered from his long illness.

During this period, Zhuang Yan talked with him once.Xiao Chi was thrown into the water for a moment, all the confidant guards Zhuang Yan left on board disappeared as if they had evaporated. If the assassin came for Xiao Chi, he did not intend to kill him with such great efforts. He is really incomprehensible.

Although Xiaochi had some guesses in his mind, he didn't dare to tell Zhuang Yan the truth when it came to his real identity, so when Zhuang Yan asked him if he had any clues, he just shook his head silently, pretending that he was stimulated and couldn't remember. Clear what happened before falling into the water.

In Jiangbei, there are only a handful of people who can kill Zhuang Yan's guards silently. However, every one of these people who can do it can't seem to find a convincing reason.

Without any evidence and progress, this strange incident can only be temporarily shelved.

Xiao Chi has recovered and no longer needs Zhuang Yan's personal care.But he still stayed in Zhuang Yan's house, and Zhuang Yan never mentioned the matter of letting him move back, so the servants would not be short-sighted to displease the master.

Zhuang Yan is still very busy, seven or eight out of ten days he has to go out early and return late, and occasionally stay in the barracks.But as long as he doesn't have to stay outside, he will try his best to go back to the mansion and sleep in the same room with his little book boy.

It was just in the afternoon when Xiao Chi thought about what Zhuang Yan had told him yesterday that he would come back around this time, so he told Supervisor Liang, and took a few guards from Zhuang Yan's courtyard to meet him at the gate of the Zhuang Mansion in person.

Even in Zhuang's mansion, Xiaochi would not leave Zhuang Yan's yard easily.When I sent him away in the morning and picked him up at the door in the evening, I never looked sideways, and I didn't take the initiative to talk to others casually.He is well versed in the truth that more things are worse than less things, and he dare not get involved in any right and wrong.

But today he passed through the long and deep Zhuang Mansion, and when he was waiting for Zhuang Yan at the gate of the Zhuang Mansion, he accidentally ran into a few Luo E youths who were tied to the Zhuang Mansion with him on the road.

Those familiar faces now look strange. When they first entered the Zhuang Mansion, they were all in a mess. Looking at each other now, they are all very clean, well groomed, and wearing jewelry on their heads. He also wore Han Chinese clothes.

It's just that the clothes are different from the one Zhuang Yan asked to make for him. The colors are bright and eye-catching, and they are tailored tightly to the body. The material of the clothes is very light.Even in summer, I am afraid of the hot weather, and I am a little too exposed.

When they walked past the gate of the courtyard here, the eyes of those teenagers met Xiaochi, and they were stunned for a moment, obviously recognizing each other.One of them saw Xiaochi and asked in Luo'e language, "Are you still alive?"

Xiaochi asked the guards around him to wait where he was, and wanted to go and talk to a few people. After a few months, he saw the people from his homeland who were taken captive on the same road again, and his heart was very sour.

It's just that the eyes of those people looking at him, after the astonishment, were somewhat indescribably cold.

The clothes on Xiaochi's body, no matter the materials or the embroidery, are very elegant and dignified, and the stitches and threads are all high-quality things, which can be distinguished at a glance.

And watching his demeanor is quite different from others, he was followed by people walking in the mansion, unexpectedly, in dozens of days, he was better than all of them.

On the spot, a Luo'e man said bitterly: "You are lucky. You climbed up to the young master of the Zhuang Mansion just after you came in. Now you are living like a young master. It is not like our fate, which has fallen to this point." , being picked and picked like cargo, without dignity."

A person next to him immediately mocked: "Aren't they all the same? It's just that he is prettier and climbed onto the young master's bed. After all, they all betrayed their bodies. What's the difference between him and us?"

Xiaochi was going towards them, but after hearing these words, he stopped on the way.

Among them was a boy who looked very young, glanced at Xiaochi, and sighed sadly, "You are lucky, you don't have to be punished by those torturers like us, hold on to your young master Zhuang, and don't come to us step."

At that moment, Xiaochi seemed to understand what happened to them, and took back his steps with a chill on his back.

There was no need for him to go over and ask about the recent situation of his fellow clansmen, that would be a shameless show off and rub salt on their wounds.

He almost ran away from there.

Standing at the gate of Zhuang's mansion as usual, he saw Zhuang Yan coming back from a distance, and quickly suppressed the daze in his expression, and smiled.

Zhuang Yan got off the horse, and squeezed his hand naturally, but Zhuang Yan was not used to being intimate with Xiaochi on such occasions, there was even a distance between the two of them, following the rules of master and servant, they walked back to the yard .

As soon as he arrived at Zhuang Yan's room, Xiaochi went to help him take off his armor. After Zhuang Yan changed his clothes, he took his hand, "What's the matter? You feel more dull today than usual."

Xiaochi just shook his head, no, I am very happy to see the young master back.

Zhuang Yan smiled and stroked his hair, "I can say sweet and pleasing, have you finished reading the set of "Rong Zhai Essays"?"

"I've finished reading it. I've read the anthology of Buddhist scriptures including the four-line verses of the Diamond Sutra and the verses of the Multi-Heart Sutra."

Xiaochi was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.Zhuang Yan guessed what he meant, and explained in a gentle tone: "Buddhism pays attention to a person who is destined to be saved by the Buddha. Even if you don't enter Buddhism, you can also learn the wisdom in Buddhist scriptures."

Xiaochi nodded obediently, Zhuang Yan stared at him for a while, and said affirmatively: "You are not happy today, could it be that you are bored in the mansion during this time? Then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you go out with me."

He didn't want Zhuang Yan to guess what he was thinking, so he cheered up and asked, "Master, where are you taking me?"

The next day, Zhuang Yan stopped his horse and took Xiaochi off the horse.

They looked at the Putuo Temple in front of them.

"Putuo Temple is a big temple in Jiangbei." Zhuang Yan introduced: "Making a wish here is very effective. You go in first and think about what you wish for. I will take you in to burn incense and make a wish."

Xiaochi suddenly came to this strange place, showing a timid expression, "Master, that monk...why did he walk towards us?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said: "He is the abbot of this temple and also a friend of mine. I'll go talk to him, and I'll accompany you in for a while."

He was about to leave, but Xiao Chi grabbed his sleeve, as if a little uneasy: "Monk? Master, you..."

Zhuang Yan figured out what he meant, and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, the young master won't go in and become a monk, can you let me go?"

Seeing that the monk had walked up to the two of them, Xiaochi felt embarrassed to act like a baby with the young master in front of the monks, so he had to let go.

The monk had an extraordinary demeanor and a kind face, and he could feel compassion when he looked at him. He glanced at Xiaochi before turning his head to say hello to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan seemed to be very familiar with him, and the two chatted harmoniously.

Watching the monk and Zhuang Yan walk away, Xiaochi thought in his heart that the young master must have read many Buddhist scriptures, and he could hardly understand a word when chatting with the great monk.

But... the young master doesn't go out of the house, so why read so many Buddhist scriptures?Xiaochi was inexplicably worried, but it was rare for him to leave the mansion once. He took all the guards Zhuang Yan had left for him, and went into the Buddhist temple to have a look first.

Putuo Temple is indeed a famous temple. It looks very spectacular from the outside, but it is even more awe-inspiring to walk in.

He visited the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats, and then entered a Buddha Hall. The Buddha statue in the hall was covered with gold, with a majestic and compassionate face. The Buddha statue was almost three stories high, very magnificent.

But in this temple, there is a man kneeling, with his palms folded in a pious posture, facing the Buddha statue.

Xiaochi didn't go in when he saw someone inside, just stood by the door and looked at the Buddha statue, waiting for Zhuang Yan to come out, and then listened to the young master's story about it.

He was about to leave, but he didn't expect the person inside to stand up. When he turned his head, the two met their eyes.

The man was tall and his eyes were like lightning. He was dressed in crimson purple clothes. He only glanced at Xiaochi, then looked away, and walked past him without saying a word.

In the Buddhist temple, after Zhuang Yan talked with the abbot of the Buddhist temple, the abbot personally sent Zhuang Yan out.

Zhuang Yan said: "Master, stay here. I will take a stroll around the temple before leaving. It is inconvenient to disturb the master's practice."

The mage said goodbye to him after saying "Amitabha".

Seeing Zhuang Yan walking away, the abbot sighed, "Benefactor Zhuang is a person who has a predestined relationship with my Buddhist school, but unfortunately he cannot enter my Buddhist school. If he is a monarch in the future, he must be a rare and benevolent ruler who governs the world. If he is a minister, he must He is a virtuous minister with a long history. It's just that young man beside him..."

"What's up with him?"

"Huiji will be hurt, I'm afraid it won't last long." The abbot turned around and greeted the people behind him, "Master Mu."

Mu Beixi nodded, and sat down in a luxurious crimson robe.

He poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "The young man from Luo'e... he looks a bit evil. The mage can see the three worlds of life and death. Since he has the appearance of dying early, it is probably not wrong... um ?”

The abbot was taken aback for a moment, but Mu Beixi suddenly stopped talking, and then took a sip of tea, and stopped talking.

The noon sun shone into the room, and Chi Wan opened his eyes from the bed.

This is Putuo Temple. He had been here more than 700 years ago. He just remembered that at that time, he had met Mu Beixi once.

He said immediately: "Bah."

The voice of gravel sounded, "What's the matter, Chi Wang?"

"What time is it?"

"Sishi, you slept for three hours."

While putting on his clothes, Chi Wang asked, "Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't I heard you speak?"

Sandstone said solemnly: "I deeply reflected on my mistakes. This time you were slammed by a chicken paw. It was my negligence. After I have accumulated enough energy, I will upgrade and protect you, and I will never do it again. Let her do such inhumane harm to you, after all, you are so beautiful, it is simply too heartless."

"... Harm, love?" Chi Wan jumped off the bed with a subtle tone, "I think you also have a talent for writing scripts, next time I give you the pen, you write it, do you like yourself and Mu Beixi appearing in pairs? "

Shashi: "... Where did I offend you today?"

"I'm not a delicate flower, and I can't be blown by the wind and rain. Even when I encounter this difficult chicken paw, I have never been completely at a disadvantage. What misunderstanding do you have about me?"

Chi Wang pushed open the door and walked out, "The top priority is to control the plague in Jiangbei first."

He asked the monks he met along the way, and went to find the monk Zi'an.

The young monk in the temple said that Zi'an was in the Buddhist hall at the main entrance. When Chi Wang walked over, he saw the young man at the gate of the hall first.

Fang Liu, with two swords on his waist, leaned against the pillar outside the Buddhist hall, lost in thought.

Having not seen Fang Liu for a whole winter, Chi Wang actually missed him a little bit, especially when he was eating crabs, he had no choice but to pick them up by himself.

Fang Liu was a little taller, and his silent profile looked at him, and he got rid of some childishness again. He looks handsome and outstanding, standing here with his arms folded, very attractive.

Soon he found Chi Wang, his eyes lit up, and he called out, "Chi... Brother Xiaochi!"

When he turned to face Chi Wang, he finally revealed his face, and saw a black fist mark around his left eye on his fair face.

Chi Wang couldn't help laughing, "Who hit this time?"

Fang Liu's joyful expression suddenly turned gloomy, "...there was a mad dog who forcibly jumped off the boat in the middle of the night, and wanted to smuggle out of the boat without buying a ticket, yet he had the guts to beat up the owner of the boat! There are such brazen people in this world!"

The owner of Fengyun Mountain Villa was transferred from the palace, "Little brother, that's not what you said. The acquaintance was due to fate, and this action of mine may have saved your life somewhere. If you don't believe me, go ask Master Guxu, the head of the Buddhist sect, why didn't he come to become Jiangbei yesterday?"

Feng Yunzheng saw Chi Wang and said hello, "Young Master Chi, I haven't seen you for half a year. Your appearance is getting better and better. How are you doing recently?"

Fang Liu immediately said vigilantly: "My brother Xiaochi is not familiar with you, why are you getting close to him?"

Chi Wang heard the footsteps around him, without turning his head, he knew who this person was, and asked, "What happened to Master Guxu?"

"Amitabha." Zi'an's face was rarely serious, "The head of the sect was attacked on the south bank, and he was poisoned with a strange poison. He has not yet escaped the danger. Now I am in Jiangbei, but I can't go back for treatment... because we have more important things to do. Do."

Chi Wang pointed to Feng Yunzheng, "The mage was missing, and this smuggler was added. The mage is getting old, so it's fine if we don't bother him."

"Master Feng and Mr. Liu have already taken the decoction to treat the epidemic poison, and I have prepared the necessary things..."

Zian looked down at him, "Master Chi, we're leaving immediately."

The author has something to say:

Fang Liu: One is good at martial arts but he is a rough guy, and the other is handsome but he is a bald donkey. Among them, I am the best, and I am the only one who has a chance.

later……

Fang Liu: Ahhhhhhh I miscalculated!
