The wood is burning on the fire, the black pot is red on the fire, the white rice in the pot is gradually cooked, and the bacon grains are quickly tumbling. A bowl of porridge with pork does not need to be sprinkled with salt, and there is a very fragrant fragrance wafting out. Xia Xiao's mind rolled with the porridge and gradually lost his mind. He was thinking about Shu Shuang, how smart and clever she was, but it was the biggest regret to leave him.

One day, Xia Xiao's old white hair, when he looks back, he will also think of that quiet and lovely girl.

Xia Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky, today passed quickly, and when the fragrance of the porridge was stronger, the day passed like this.

Ah Candle kept pulling Xia Xiao's sleeve, and when she turned her head, she said:

"I want to eat that, do we have anything to change?"

"Senior, can you give us a bowl of porridge? ”

Xia Xiao asked directly, which made Ah Candle a little flattered. If usually, she dared to do this, but she was rude before, so it was not good to ask directly, but when she saw the fat monk nodding, she was secretly happy.

"I'm sorry senior, I misunderstood before. ”

Ah Candle felt that it was too late to apologize, but he had to express his heart.

"It's okay, when I used to be a little monk with me, let alone misunderstanding, I secretly scolded my mother many times. When the master found out once, he taught me a lesson, and then I became thick-skinned and said it directly. ”

Ah Candle was a girl with a big heart, and asked him:

"Senior, why do you want to be a monk?"

"That's a poignant question. ”

Xia Xiao smiled secretly, thinking that Ah Candle was really talented, but this was her. Like Shu Shuang, he will definitely pay attention to some Buddhist principles with this senior now. But because she is here, she has to be self-centered, and she won't say much. But Ah Candle didn't care about these, she listened attentively to her seniors.

"It's a kind of faith, and many people in Tanghua Temple, like me, have been picked up from the dead man's pile or garbage can. I grew up in Tanghua Temple since I was a child, and I was nurtured in it. Although the master in the monastery let me choose my own path, I stayed at the monastery when I became an adult. Everyone has their own needs, what do you want to do in the future?"

Ah Candle began to think deeply, this is not a simple question.

"I'm going to become a cultivator at the academy and then go home to spend my last days with my grandmother. When grandma is gone, I will repay the favor. ”

This is the first time that Ah Candle has thought so far, but Grandma is gone, what should she do? She had been avoiding it before, but now she suddenly thought that she still had a favor to repay. The fat monk asked her what she would reciprocate, and Ah Candle said that she would go back to the academy and do things for the academy. Because she can practice all depends on non-return, she has to do something. If it weren't for Hu Wugui, Ah Candle would definitely not be a cultivator now.

Tonight's chat is very pleasant, and the bacon and white rice porridge are also very fragrant.

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang finished eating, rested for the night, and went to the west the next day. Because Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were able to completely conceal their breath, the fat monk quickly brought them to the imperial court with vitality. Xia Xiao was very familiar with this area, and when he saw that the grassland was barren and only yellow sand, his heart sank suddenly.

Xia Xiao has not forgotten the pain caused by the darkness last time, he sat in the room by himself, the lonely tears were also vivid, and the figure of Shu Shuang disappearing in the darkness was even more eternal in his heart.

"Hey, it's in town. ”

Ah Candle pulled Xia Xiao and made his stiff steps run a few steps quickly, and his rather heavy heart felt better. After meeting the fat monk, although they also saw the town a few times, they did not go in, but chose to hurry. Now that I'm in the royal court, I can finally have a good meal. She had been thinking about Goulong Bang's barbecue for a long time, but Xia Xiao was not in the mood to eat it now, and the expressions of these people were really the same as what the fat monk said before, full of suspicion and disdain.

"What a strange look in their eyes!"

Ah Candle approached Xia Xiao, a little scared, these guys looked like they wanted to skin her and eat her. As soon as Ah Candle approached, Xia Xiao exhaled an extremely heavy breath, a little impatient.

With one hand behind Ah Candle's backpack, although Xia Xiao said that his face was not good, he still remained a gentleman, protected Ah Candle, followed behind the fat monk and the little monk, and walked slowly on the street.

Since the moment he entered the city, the strange eyes have not stopped, and at this time, more and more people have gathered, and they have surrounded Xia Xiao and the four of them. As the imperial capital of the Goulong Bang clan, there are many people who leave the royal court every day, and there are also many people who come. But foreigners are really rare, just like the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, with more than 50,000 people coming and going every day, but it is very rare to see foreigners.

In the crowd of the Goulong Bang clan, someone finally stepped forward. This is a tall middle-aged man, and like many Goulong Bang people, his robe is mixed with animal skins, but there are special wolf patterns on it, representing nobility and rebellious capital. His appearance silenced everyone around him, and then shouted to the fat monk:

"Who allowed you in?"

The fat monk sighed, straightened his waist, and escaped from the token on his waist.

"It allowed me to enter. ”

The wooden token, with a handsome flower carved into it, causes the man to kneel on one knee, and the crowd explodes, whispering. This man is a member of the royal family of the Goulong Bang clan, and the foreigner who can make him perform this great gift, as well as the Tanghua token, is it not the walker of the Tanghua Temple?

They guessed right, for the man had said aloud:

"The senior monks of Tanghua Temple are here, and they still don't salute?"

Hundreds of people did so, and then the man explained to the fat monk.

"Monk, I'm really sorry, please come with me. ”

The fat monk pretended to nod profoundly, but did not speak. Silence was the most frightening thing, and he had to make these arrogant Golong Bang people reflect on their mistakes. The fat monk turned around, looked at Xia Xiao, and motioned for him to follow. This alone is enough for men to arrange accommodation and food for them.

After a few steps, they got into a carriage. The imperial capital of the Goulong Bang clan is not as prosperous as the palace, and it is not as distinctive as the Yugu Valley in the south. Therefore, Xia Xiao didn't even open the curtains, but just asked the fat monk.

"Seniors, they are so arrogant, and they still retain respect for Tanghua Temple, it's really rare. ”

"The Golong Bang clan has a special cultivation method, so it has introduced a lot of wild beasts. As soon as there are many wild beasts, there is a greater possibility of becoming demons. Over the years, there have been walkers who have traveled specifically in the Golong Bang clan, and I am it. ”

It turns out that this is the reason why the Goulong Bang clan respects Tanghua Temple so much, which is really unexpected. However, everyone is the same, if it weren't for the fact that the Church of Walkers stopped Nanshang's attack on Great Xia, the people of Bactria would not have respected the Church of Heads so much.

"Don't be too restrained in Goolong Bang, otherwise you will suffer. ”

When the fat monk reminded him, Ah Candle asked why, as before, with great curiosity. She is a mobile questioning robot, the fat monk and the little monk are not new, and the past few days together have made them aware of Ah Candle's strong curiosity. But the fat monk thought about it before saying:

"These people are extremely arrogant, and if you let them, they feel like they're really on top. ”

Ah Candle let out a long sigh, and outside the carriage, the man sat on the wheel and glanced at the carriage. These four people came strangely, even if they were the senior monks of Tanghua Temple, there should not be lay disciples. However, looking at the young man's gaze, he looked a little like a Daxia person, and it seemed that he had to stay in the middle of nowhere.

"Go to the Lonely Cloud Tower. ”

"My lord, that building is so lonely, can it work?"

The coachman lowered his voice, but the man stared at him, and he could only do so. What a man could have thought of a little coachman? Even though they were all sitting on the wheels of the car now, looking at the familiar streets and roads, they could think of very different things.

The coachman wanted to get to the destination quickly, and then take a break and drink two bowls of herbal tea. Summer hasn't come yet, but it's been busy for a long time, and it's really hot. But what the man thinks about is the origin and purpose of these four people. Even if Tanghua Temple is beneficial to his Goulong Bang clan, it is just a simple use of the relationship, as long as it is properly respected, could it be that they really have to offer the monks of Tanghua Temple as a living Buddha?
