Li Si tried every means to bring Lu Xiaoxian to his home, just to worship Lu Xiaoxian as a teacher. If you can learn amazing gambling skills, you don't have to worry about your livelihood in this life.

Li Si's sudden move made Lu Xiaoxian stunned.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was silent, Li Si kowtowed regardless of it and said, "Master is above, the apprentice has kowtowed to you!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian came back to his senses and said to Li Si: "Let's talk about the apprenticeship later, you get up and talk first!" ”

"If you don't agree, the apprentice will kneel and die here!" Li Si said stubbornly.

"Not up?" Lu Xiaoxian glared and said, "Believe it or not, I'll turn around and leave immediately!" ”

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was displeased, Li Si hurriedly got up and stood respectfully in front of Lu Xiaoxian.

"Are you familiar with Chang'an City?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

Although Li Si didn't know what Lu Xiaoxian meant, he still nodded and said: "In Chang'an City, except for the Imperial City, I haven't entered it, and the other squares are very familiar!" ”

"That's good!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded, took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and put them on the table: "You go to a craftsman to repair this house, and then look at adding some things!" Also, the courtyard gate was replaced, and the courtyard wall was also properly painted. ”

"This ......" Li Si was a little stunned.

"I don't want to live in a pig's nest!" Lu Xiaoxian admonished, "Give you three days, the silver is not enough to find me to get it!" I can't do this little thing, and I don't need to talk about the apprenticeship! ”

Hearing Lu Xiaoxian say this, Li Si reacted at this time, it turned out that Lu Xiaoxian planned to live here in the future, he was ecstatic, patted his chest and said: "It can be done, Master, don't worry, I promise to make a big difference here in three days!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's decision to live in Li Si's house was not a whim.

Living in the Temple of Mercy and Grace is much better than an inn, but it is not a long-term solution after all. There are many monks in Ci'en Temple, and Lu Xiaoxian finds it inconvenient to go in and out every day. Besides, Li Si is very familiar with Chang'an, living in Li Si's house, Lu Xiaoxian can just let him be a guide and lead him around, if you want to gain a foothold in Chang'an, you don't know Chang'an and know it, that's not good.

……

Shopkeeper Hu stood respectfully in front of Wei Xianyun, Wei Xianyun sat on the chair, listening carefully to Shopkeeper Hu's narration.

"Finished?" Wei Xianyun asked.

"It's over!" Shopkeeper Hu nodded.

Wei Xianyun glanced at Shopkeeper Hu: "You know too little about him, his ability is definitely beyond your expectations!" ”

"Mr. Wei?" Shopkeeper Hu asked strangely, "Do you know this Lu Gongzi?" ”

"It's more than acquaintance!" Wei Xianyun didn't know how to answer Shopkeeper Hu, "Just waving his hand, I can't say a word or two about this!" ”

If he just invited Lu Xiaoxian to join Tiantong Casino, such a trivial matter would be able to be decided by the shopkeeper, and there would be no need to report to Wei Xianyun at all.

But the problem is that Lu Xiaoxian made a request: he wanted to provoke a bloody struggle between Xu and Qin, and after the matter was completed, Tiantong Gambling House would try to ensure that he left safely. In exchange, Lu Xiaoxian was willing to join Tiantong Casino.

This kind of thing is not something that Shopkeeper Hu can decide. Therefore, Shopkeeper Hu came to Wei Xianyun for instructions as soon as possible.

With Lu Xiaoxian's ability, he would join Tiantong Casino, and Wei Xianyun would not believe it at all.

Lu Xiaoxian has never acted according to common sense, no one can guess his true intentions, and neither can Wei Xianyun, he can only take one step at a time.

"Promise him this!" Wei Xianyun commanded without hesitation.

Watching the shopkeeper disappear outside the door, Wei Xianyun shook his head and said to himself: "He seems to like to do this kind of thing!" ”

……

Back at the Temple of Mercy and Grace, it was already dark.

Cen Shaobai was waiting for him with blank eyes.

"Childe, you're back!" Cen Shaobai handed a piece of paper to Lu Xiaoxian: "Look at this!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian took it, this is a deed.

Cen Shaobai introduced in detail: "When I was wandering around the West Market, I happened to see a medium-sized shop, and the person who rented the house had something to rush back to his hometown, so he was in a hurry to sublease the shop. I saw a good chance, so I signed the deed and rented the shop, and the man could vacate the shop for me tomorrow! ”

Lu Xiaoxian returned the deed to Cen Shaobai: "You can decide this kind of thing yourself, don't ask me!" ”

"I know!" Cen Shaobai explained, "Chang'an is a place of right and wrong, I don't want to spread the stall too big, try the water first!" ”

"I don't have to worry about you doing things, you will be able to do this kind of thing in the future!"

Cen Shaobai smiled bitterly, he can do it so freely, there will be no second person except Lu Xiaoxian.

After Cen Shaobai left, Lu Xiaoxian told Lu Xiaoyi his plans.

It didn't matter where Lu Xiaoyi lived, he just asked casually: "That Li Si is a thief, is he reliable?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time!" ”

……

When he went out of the temple gate in the morning, Lu Xiaoxian happened to see Pu Run, who was hurrying towards the temple gate. Bean Book City

Lu Xiaoxian took the initiative to greet him: "Master Purun, where are you going so early?" ”

"The donor is early, the temple has to do things, and the poor monks go to buy some magic candles and come back!" Purun saluted Lu Xiaoxian.

"Doing something?" Lu Xiaoxian asked strangely: "Which big family has someone died?" ”

Ci'en Temple is the largest temple in Chang'an City, and it is certainly not something ordinary people can do to ask Ci'en Temple to do things.

"It's not for people outside the temple, it's for the propagation of the Dharma who has passed away!"

"Huh?" Lu Xiaoxian was taken aback.

After listening to Purun's explanation, Lu Xiaoxian knew what was going on.

It turned out that there was a murder at the Temple of Mercy and Grace the night before, and the abbot of Kobo suddenly died in the meditation room.

The reason why I said that he died suddenly and inexplicably because the abbot was in good health on weekdays, had no chronic illnesses, and was in the prime of life.

Jing Zhaoyin received a report and was shocked, the reputation of Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City is known to women and children, every year up to the prime minister of the Son of Heaven, down to the peddlers and pawns to come to worship the Buddha and listen to the scriptures, pay tribute to incense. Now that this kind of thing has happened, if you want Your Majesty to know, not only will your official position be difficult to protect, but I am afraid that even the lives of the whole family will have to be taken. The only chance to remedy the situation is to find out the truth as soon as possible and give an explanation to the imperial court.

However, after the officials of the government and the doctor invited to inspect the body of the presiding officer, they could not find the cause of death. The body had no scars on its body, and it didn't look like it had been poisoned.

When the news spread, some monks began to discuss that this was the work of evil spirits that had taken away the soul of the presiding officer.

Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to report the speculation of the evil ghost asking for his life to the imperial court, and asked the one hundred and eight monks in the temple to recite the 7749 Heaven Vajra Fu Mantra to drive away the evil spirit.

The Temple of Mercy and Grace has to do 49 days of rituals, and the candles stored in the temple are not enough. Purun was ordered by the temple to buy the candles.

After Purun finished speaking, he said goodbye to Lu Xiaoxian and left the temple in a hurry.

Looking at Purun's back, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized, no wonder there were catchers who came to check the room the night before yesterday, it turned out that this was the case.

Lu Xiaoxian also felt that it was strange to preside over the death of the Dharma propagation, but it had nothing to do with him, so he just listened to it.

Out of the temple gate, Lu Xiaoxian saw Li Si at a glance, he was standing on the steps at the temple gate and looking in.

"Master, you're here!" Li Si's face was happy.

"Didn't you go and fix the house? What are you doing here? Lu Xiaoxian said strangely.

"Master, I hired craftsmen before dawn, and they have already started their work. According to Master's request, I explained everything to the craftsmen, they did their work, and I took Master to Chang'an City for a walk. ”

Li Si was very thoughtful and thoughtful, and Lu Xiaoxian was very satisfied.

"Master hasn't had breakfast yet, has he?" Li Si asked.

"Nope!" Listening to Li Siyi's question, Lu Xiaoxian felt that his stomach was already growling.

Li Si hurriedly said, "Master, I'll take you to eat the best haggis in Chang'an City!" ”

Li Si led Lu Xiaoxian and walked around several unknown squares for more than half an hour, crossing the street into the alley, into the deepest and most remote alley, and then into the middle of the two walls less than two feet wide.

Just when he was dizzy, a trace of abnormal aroma drifted along the breeze, and Lu Xiaoxian suddenly felt that his whole heart became empty, and then it was instantly stuffed, and his stomach and intestines twitched.

"The haggis in this house is so domineering that most people don't know about it." As he spoke, Li Si swallowed his saliva fiercely.

Chang'an people like to eat haggis cutting, do haggis cutting guy is simple, set up a big pot, burn the old soup, on the board of the haggis into a paper-thin slice, stacked in the old sea bowl, point sesame oil chili, the old soup is boiling when it is poured on, just drink a bowl with the pot helmet, that is the emperor can not enjoy the comfort.

The weather is hot at this time, and there are many fewer people eating haggis than in winter.

Li Si and Lu Xiaoxian walked out of the mezzanine and faced a small door on the wall, and the fragrance came from the door.

When the curtain was lifted to enter the door, the heat in the door rushed to the face, and the person was staggered.

Lu Xiaoxian only felt that his whole body was fluttering, and he was about to fly up with the heat and aroma, and then it hurt, and his stomach was so hungry that it was unbearable.

Lu Xiaoxian walked into the house, and it took a while to get used to it, and he saw the situation inside clearly through the heat.

The room was old, not very large, with four square tables, each with four chairs. The stove was not far from the table, and there was a large cauldron on it, steaming hot and fragrant.

At the moment, there are customers eating haggis at all four tables.

A black-faced man in his forties was cutting haggis when he saw the two of them come in, and looked up at them and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Shopkeeper, come and cut two large bowls of haggis!" Li Si shouted at the man.

"Great! The two guest officers sit down! The man replied.

"Master, let's sit here!" Li Si pointed to a table and asked.

The table that Li Si pointed to was close to the stove, and there was only one person sitting on the table, while the other three tables were already full.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and walked towards the table.

Sitting at this table looked like a young man, sweating profusely on the sea bowl, sipping haggis soup.
