CHAPTER XXIII. There is a lot of talk and laughter.

There is still incense burning in the meditation room.

Jun Xuan is a female guest after all, so she walked a little later than Hua Manlou, and she had already finished bathing and changing clothes at Hua's house. Putting her long hair halfway together, Jun Xuan tied a light veil under the crown of her hair, and her forehead ornament hung down to fix the girl's fine forehead. Today, she wore a silver-gray robe, with intricate embroidery on the neckline and cuffs, but no other decorations around her body, only a long sword at her side. The long hair is spread out, the light yarn is draped, and there is a fairy style of bones.

When Master Bitter Melon invited Hua Manlou, he specially told him to come with Jun Xuan. Now that everyone is bathing, and the vegetarian food is ready, the bitter gourd master personally leads Jun Xuan in front of the temple.

The meditation room of the temple does not treat female guests, but Jun Xuan is a female crown, so it doesn't hurt.

The two saluted each other, Jun Xuan felt that he was young, but he was a junior, so he pinched the "meridian formula" and made a salute. The bitter gourd master also folded his hands and bowed slightly.

The monks and the Tao meet, and this time it is not for the sake of the Tao, so Jun Xuan does not have to be called "Sanqing", and the bitter gourd master naturally does not have to be called "Amitabha Buddha".

"The poor monk has been waiting for the crown for a long time. The crown comes with me. Master Bitter Melon smiled at Jun Xuan and turned sideways to lead her into the meditation room. When she sat down, and didn't wait for everyone who was still bathing, Master Bitter Melon served four or five plates of vegetarian food to Jun Xuan.

Potsticker tofu, vegetarian mushroom greens, colorful loofah soup, and a small plate of vegetarian ham and a stack of vegetarian duck. Although they are all vegetarian foods, there are bursts of indescribable aroma that is enough to arouse anyone's appetite.

"Among the people I invited, except for the seven children of the Hua family, the other two old friends are fierce. The female crown is quickly used first, and they will not take care of the young female crown for a while. ”

Saying that, the bitter gourd master also added a bowl of white and glutinous rice to Jun Xuan.

"Thank you, Master." Jun Xuan was not hypocritical, and after thanking the bitter gourd master, he sandwiched a chopstick of vegetarian mushrooms and chewed it in small bites.

She eats seriously, even with a kind of piety. Although he doesn't eat much and doesn't use it quickly, it makes the cooks feel very satisfied—who wouldn't be happy that the fruits of their labor are treated wholeheartedly?

With a smile on his face, the bitter gourd master added soup to Jun Xuan on the side. At this moment, two voices came from outside the door.

"Well, we are bathing in incense there, but he is here to open a small stove for people."

"He insisted that we go and burn incense and bathe, but this little girl looked clean and clean, and it didn't hurt if she didn't bathe."

"We are all from the same Daomen, why are we treated so badly?"

As he spoke, the man who was a member of the Dao Gate like Jun Xuan pushed the door in. At this moment, the unkempt Wudang elder had also taken off his broken robe and put on a spotless blue cloth shirt [1].

When Jun Xuan heard them talking, he put down his chopsticks, and when the Mudao and Honka monks came in, Jun Xuan got up to greet them. At the same time, Hua Manlou also walked over from the meditation room on the other side.

Everyone sat down, the table where Jun Xuan had just eaten had been removed, and the bitter gourd master served it again. I don't know what kind of means the master used, even if there was some delay, these dishes were still warm, and the color and flavor were not inferior in the slightest.

At this moment, a figure lifted the bamboo curtain and rushed straight to the table. The man neither burned incense nor bathed, but the bitter gourd master did not drive him away.

Mu Daoren sighed: "Look, you still say that this monk is not partial? ”

Even Hua Manlou, who was sitting quietly on the side, couldn't help but shake his head, he shook off the folding fan, slightly blocking Jun Xuan's mouth and nose, and then said: "Lu Xiaofeng, why do you smell like a stinky dog who has only been soaking in the mud for many days?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng is a wolf bèi to the extreme, his body is full of mud, not to mention, and his face is not very clear. The smell of sweat on his body was like that of someone who hadn't taken a shower for three months, and even Jun Xuan couldn't help but hold his breath and hide his little face behind the fan of Hua Manlou.

He was surrounded by his friends, so although their dislike for him was very obvious, Lu Xiaofeng still swept the dishes on the table indifferently. He hadn't eaten for many days, and now there was nothing more important to him than eating.

The long-awaited meal at this table all went into Lu Xiaofeng's stomach, although the Mu Dao and the Monk Gunsong joined the battle with him halfway, but unfortunately they didn't eat a few bites.

In fact, Hua Manlou himself didn't care whether his friend was fragrant or smelly, but he couldn't watch his little girl suffer with him. Therefore, when Lu Xiaofeng was eating, Hua Manlou pulled Jun Xuan to the farthest place from Lu Xiaofeng in the meditation room and sat down, and opened all the windows.

Lu Xiaofeng felt deeply that he had been hurt, and he couldn't even bother to wipe the vegetable juice on his mouth, and almost tearfully confessed his bet with Sikong Xingxing. Digging up 680 earthworms or something, it's crazy.

Mu Daoren laughed loudly, as if venting his anger at being robbed of food: "I didn't expect Lu Xiaofeng to have such a day, people's hearts are happy, it's just people's hearts." ”

As soon as the Mudao people said this, they immediately attracted the echo of the ancient pine monks and the bitter gourd masters. After Lu Xiaofeng finished eating, he didn't care about their ridicule, and began to talk to his old friends.

Jun Xuan has been sitting quietly by the window, not participating in their conversation, but she is not distracted.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of bells and drums, as well as the sound of monks chanting. Here is Lu Xiaofeng and his old friend gags, laughter. In this way, the red world and the quiet place of Buddhism were separated, and then slowly merged together.

Jun Xuan suddenly felt something flash in his heart, so he couldn't help but get up and stand against the window. The evening breeze blew the light veils and clothes on her crown. The last rays of the setting sun fell on the little girl in front of the window, adding a touch of holiness to her.

Lu Xiaofeng and Master Bitter Melon have already talked about the characters who have been in the limelight in the rivers and lakes recently.

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Jun Xuan. After all, when it comes to the limelight, who still has this lost young lady of the Hua family now, and the name of Ye Gucheng's junior sister is even more prosperous?

The bitter gourd master shook his head and told everyone about the deeds of the embroidery thief.

Lu Xiaofeng felt bad when he heard it, and when he was about to get up and leave, he was blocked in the room by a man.

This person is dressed in brocade clothes and is also very handsome. When ordinary people see him, they will never think that he is a famous and feared martial arts master in the underworld, on the contrary, they will only think that he is a playboy [2].

This person is the rumored most outstanding catcher of the six doors in the past three hundred years, and now he has left the public gate in front of the six doors, Jin Jiuling.

There is no doubt that Jin Jiuling's romance is as famous as his ability. Therefore, although he stopped Lu Xiaofeng, his eyes were fixed on Jun Xuan.

"Lu Xiaofeng, why are you in a hurry to leave, I didn't say that you should take care of the embroidery thief." Jin Jiuling grabbed Lu Xiaofeng's shoulders and brought him back to the table.

Lu Xiaofeng naturally noticed his gaze at Jun Xuan. Lu Xiaofeng is also a merry person, and a merry man is the one who knows the mind of a merry person best.

Almost subconsciously blocked Jin Jiuling's gaze for Jun Xuan, and Lu Xiaofeng began to fight with Jin Jiuling.

Jin Jiuling's appearance here seemed to be very reasonable, after all, he was the junior disciple of Master Bitter Gourd. After all, as soon as you enter the public gate, you will be a person in the public gate for the rest of your life. Even if Jin Jiuling is no longer the chief catcher of the six doors, it is reasonable for him to take care of the matter of the embroidery thief.

But Lu Xiaofeng knew that this qiē was probably arranged by Jin Jiuling. In order to involve him.

Lu Xiaofeng will not be fooled, but Jin Jiuling's words made him have to pinch his nose and have to do it - just as he spoke, Jin Jiuling suspected that Sikong Picking Stars was on his head, because in the whole world, he could enter and exit the palace treasury and steal the pearl, I am afraid that only the king who stole the king, Sikong Picking Stars, was the only one.

Lu Xiaofeng had just suffered a loss in the hands of Sikong Xingxing, but he had to take care of this matter. Who makes a friend a friend a friend?

In any case, Jin Jiuling got a satisfactory answer for himself. Whether it's a general or a radical general, Lu Xiaofeng finally agreed to meddle in the case of the embroidery thief.

In fact, because of the last time King Jinpeng happened, Jun Xuan has never liked Lu Xiaofeng very much. However, whether the two of them were traveling together, or just now, Lu Xiaofeng's protection of her has always been in her eyes. Lu Xiaofeng has always said that he is his friend, and Jun Xuan also knows that although Lu Xiaofeng has many friends, he also takes the word "friend" very seriously.

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was pitted, Jun Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

The girl's eyebrows were already cold, but she frowned slightly at this moment, and she looked a little more Ling Ran.

Jin Jiuling's gaze always wandered on Jun Xuan's side, and at this moment, when he saw Jun Xuan's complexion, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. A strange sense of familiarity came over him, but he quickly forgot about it because it was so unbelievable.

Gathering his thoughts, Jin Jiuling said to Jun Xuan unexpectedly: "Since Lu Xiaofeng promised to investigate the case, why don't you wait for his news in Pingnan Palace?" As he spoke, he said to everyone as if inadvertently: "Now that I have left the public gate, I have served as the steward of the Pingnan Palace." ”

For Jin Jiuling's almost rude invitation, even Hua Manlou frowned. Jun Xuan also felt that it was very inappropriate, but she couldn't refuse.

Because the next moment, Jin Jiuling smiled unhurriedly and said: "Now that the city lord Ye is the guest of the prince's seat, I want to miss the young lady who hasn't seen the city lord for many days?" ”

Jun Xuan blinked slowly, as if he was confused by Jin Jiuling's words.

However, she just gently tugged on Hua Manlou's sleeve, and then nodded to Jin Jiuling and said, "There is labor to lead the way." ”

Jin Jiuling's smile deepened, and he led Jun Xuan to board the carriage outside the Zen temple sideways.
