Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 22 Two Monks
After Mu Qiuhuang and Mu Qingen's father and son had a profound conversation, Mu Qiuhuang was very satisfied, and after returning to Wutong Garden, he took a hot bath and talked with Xia Heshou for a few rounds...... I didn't fall asleep until late at night.
"Hasn't the eldest brother gotten up yet?"
"Second son, my son-in-law slept late last night, so he hasn't gotten up yet......"
Mu Qiuhuang was woken up in a daze by the noise outside the house.
"What's going on?" Mu Qiuhuang shouted, and the outside instantly became quiet.
"Childe, you're up." Xia He walked into the room with a basin of water.
"What's going on?" Mu Qiuhuang asked, took a handful of water and slapped it on his face, buried his whole face in the basin, and was soaked in the cold water, and then he completely sobered up.
"It's the second son, the second son came over with a food box and said he wanted to thank you, Chun Tao said that the son hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't let him in."
"Thank me?" Mu Qiuhuang's heart moved, and then he remembered what was going on.
"Alright, let him in and wait in the antechamber, I'll go right away." Mu Qiuhuang commanded.
"Big brother, Chun Tao's maid is so big and small, she can't even stop me......"
As soon as Mu Qiuhuang stepped into the hall with his front foot, Mu Qiulin began to chatter.
"I told her to do it, and I don't like to be disturbed while I sleep. By the way, what are you looking for from me? Mu Qiuhuang asked lightly.
"Isn't this to thank you, big brother, thanks to your intercession with my father on my behalf, my father has promised to let me go to Loulan."
Mu Qiulin pointed to the food box and said, "I shot an elk a few days ago, it tastes very good, and I specially sent some deer breasts for my eldest brother to try." ”
"Thank you, second brother." Mu Qiuhuang smiled.
"It should be me to thank my eldest brother, okay, big brother, you can eat it while it's hot, I'll go back and pack up."
Not long after Mu Qiulin left, Mu Qiuhuang instructed Chun Tao: "Let people prepare horses, I'll go to the Liujing River, by the way, Xia He, you go and tell Dongxue to let him go with me." ”
"Childe, you just came back to rest all night and went again? Still with Sister Dongxue? Chun Tao's eyes widened.
"What are you thinking about all day long?" Mu Qiuhuang glared at Chun Tao angrily.
……
Mu Qiuhuang came to Liujing River today and was not as loud as two days ago, but he came quietly with Dongxue, but when he came to Liujing River, he saw that there were a lot of people in front of Liujing River who were talking.
"The great monk has been standing there for more than an hour, and he hasn't even changed his posture, isn't he tired?"
"I don't know if the big monk is tired or not, but it hurts the little monk, you see how cute the little monk's lips are red and his teeth are white."
"In my opinion, that monk should be a high-ranking monk?"
"Whew! The eminent monk still came to stand at the door of the Qinglou? If I were to say that it should be a flower monk, it's pretty much the same. ”
"People just stood at the door and didn't go in? Besides, there is a reason why a big monk goes to the Qinglou with a little monk? Someone argued.
"Is that because he doesn't want to go in? That's because he can't get in, it's not that you don't know that Liujing River was wrapped up by His Royal Highness the Prince of Our World for three days, as for taking a little monk, maybe people in the Buddhist sect love this kind of Taoism. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, beware of the Buddha blaming ......"
"Blaming is also blaming the great monk, what does it matter to me?"
……
Seeing that the door had been surrounded by a crowd, the two had to turn over and dismount, Mu Qiuhuang's dress today is not much different from the day before yesterday, but Dong Xue next to her today has changed her previous women's clothes, but pretended to be a man, although Dong Xue is wearing men's clothes, she still does not change her preferences, and this men's clothes are also white Shengxue.
As soon as Mu Qiuhuang and the others walked to the crowd, some sharp-eyed people had recognized Mu Qiuhuang's identity, although they didn't know who the pretty boy was with the prince? But looking at his dignified appearance with a sword at his waist, and walking with the prince, everyone only said which wealthy son he was, and they couldn't help but make way for the two.
Mu Qiuhuang looked up and saw that there were two monks in the middle of the crowd, one big and one small.
The great monk looked to be in his fifties, skinny and scrawny, holding a copper tin rod in his hand, dressed in a gray monk's robe, and wearing a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The little monk was only seven or eight years old, with red lips and white teeth, and was dressed like a big monk, except that he did not have a tin staff in his hand, but carried a gray cloth burden on his back.
Mu Qiuhuang noticed that the original gray monk's robes on the two monks were washed white, and the edges of the straw sandals on their feet were also worn very badly, which showed that these two monks should have traveled a long distance and belonged to the category of ascetics.
Although the two monks were dressed simply, their bodies were clean, not only the monks' robes were clean, but even the straw sandals on their feet were clean and clean.
The big monk held a copper tin staff in one hand and a rosary in the other, standing there motionless, ignoring the discussions of the people around him, as if he was a monk who had attained the Tao, and the little monk was obviously the first time to see this kind of battle, and he had already shown embarrassment when he heard the discussions of the people around him, obviously because of the reason of the old monk, he never left.
"You said that the old bustard of Liujinghe was also a little stingy with her mother, this old monk has been standing for so long, and he didn't give a few pieces of broken silver to send him away." Someone insulted.
Hearing someone insulting the old bustard, someone in the crowd immediately chimed in: "That's it, I heard that the prince spent a full 100,000 gold in it two days ago?" This old bustard is really slamming the door. ”
As soon as the words fell, a different voice came out: "Hey! You've wronged people, Sun Yaoniang! As early as when the monk first came, they sent the little guy out to give the monk money, but this monk didn't appreciate it! ”
"Hu Er, who doesn't know that your kid has been thinking about Sun Miao's pomegranate skirt for a day or two, but even if people are about to be your mother, they can't look down on you, just let you smell it occasionally, and you can also say good things to the old bustard, you are really a seed of infatuation?" Someone scoffed.
Hearing this, everyone laughed, and the kid called Hu Er was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he shouted: "Really, I don't believe you ask those two monks, I really didn't tell a lie." ”
Everyone laughed, obviously not believing Hu Er's words, and at this moment, they saw the door of the flower boat open, and Sun Yaoniang walked out with her fat buttocks.
Sun Miaoniang walked straight to the little monk's side, ready to pinch the little monk's face, but when she reached the little monk's face, she found that the pinch was empty, and when her hand was withdrawn, she saw that the little monk stood in place and did not move at all.
And Dong Xue also put all her eyes on the big monk's body, and didn't notice the little monk's movements, leaned into Mu Qiuhuang's ear and whispered: "Son, be careful, these two monks are not like ordinary monks, the bones of the hand of the big monk holding the tin staff are calloused, and they must be practicing hand kung fu." ”
"Hmmm! Let's wait and see what happens. Mu Qiuhuang nodded and whispered, but his eyes were on the little monk's body.
Although Mu Qiuhuang's qi was abolished, his eyesight was still there, and he just noticed that when the old bustard was about to pinch the little monk's face, he was dodged by the little monk, because the little monk's body was too fast, so it seemed to ordinary people as if he was standing in place and had not moved......
"Could it be that he is the same as the witch spirit boy, and he is an old goblin?" Mu Qiuhuang wondered in his heart.
Ever since he had met Wu Lingtong, Mu Qiuhuang was a little more afraid of this kind of child who looked like a child, but not like a child.
Although Sun Miaoniang's hands were empty, her mouth did not stop, and she said to the little monk: "Yo! What a handsome little novice, is a little thin, at first glance is usually unable to eat meat for the sake of the vulgar, if you don't come to my sister here, my sister raises you, guaranteeing you big fish and meat every day, sister There are potpourri in this building, but it is much more flavorful than you follow the old monk Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, how about it? ”
The little monk didn't say anything when he heard this, and his face was embarrassed and embarrassed, but he looked very cute.
"My Auntie, if you miss a man, tell my son, I'll satisfy you! This little monk is just a child, so let him go. There were regular customers in the crowd who teased Sun Miaoniang, causing everyone to laugh.
Sun Miaoniang's face did not change when she heard this, and shouted at the crowd: "Yo! It turned out to be Li Gongzi, what? How many days is the lady not around? Then you will bring enough silver to the Crystal River tomorrow, and I promise to wait for you comfortably. ”
"Good! Tomorrow, I'll bring enough silver taels to try my aunt's kung fu with your tongue rolling silver spear. ”
"Don't say goodbye, my aunt, I'm afraid that your lady will come upstairs."
Sun Miaoniang replied and then ignored it, turned around and came to the great monk and said in a charming voice: "Yo! Great monk, don't give you any money, do you really want to go into the slave house to play? But didn't the slave family tell you, Liujing River was wrapped up for three days, or you come back in time, as long as you bring enough silver, it is not impossible for the slave family to serve you personally. ”
"Phew! What a shame. Dongxue scolded in a low voice.
Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly when she heard this, knowing that she was not used to seeing Sun Miaoniang do this.
"Alright, Great Monk! Although my building has been wrapped for three days, and I don't welcome guests today, it's not a matter for you to always stand here, so I am generous today, and you can take these ten taels of gold, which is enough for you to eat and drink with this little monk for a year. Sun Miaoniang took out a gold ingot from her arms and handed it to the great monk.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this, and they said in their hearts that this old bustard was really willing.
But who knew that the great monk turned a blind eye to Sun Miaoniang's words and gold, and still remained motionless, and even closed his eyes to recuperate.
Seeing this, Sun Miaoniang's face changed, revealing a little ruthless, and said angrily: "Great monk, don't toast and don't eat and drink." ”
There were people in the crowd who believed in Buddhism and couldn't help but persuade: "Monk, ten taels of gold is a lot, so take it when you see it."
"Yes! It is not a matter for a monk to stand at the door of someone's house after all. ”
……
The crowd was persuaded one after another, but the great monk remained motionless.
"Everyone has seen it, it's not that my Sun Miao Niang is unpopular, it's that this great monk is too greedy." Sun Miaoniang was already furious at this time.
"Someone! Throw these two monks away for me."
Sun Miaoniang said hello, and the thugs of the Qinglou, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed out.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but worry about the monk in their hearts, Sun Yaoniang can become the shopkeeper of Liujinghe, and her ability is naturally far from being as simple as it seems, otherwise how can she be obedient to the management of hundreds of girls in the building, and most of these Qinglou thugs are people with human lives on their hands, and they dare to kill each other.
Seeing that Qinglou released the thugs, the great monk still stood still, not even opening his eyelids.
Seeing the big monk behaving like this, the thug had a kind of anger in his heart that was ignored, and first went up and pushed the big monk a few people, but he didn't expect the big monk to not move at all. Seeing that the big monk couldn't move, this group of thugs no longer bothered, and directly hit the big monk with sticks.
And the great monk didn't dodge, dodge, or fight back, and let the sticks of the group of thugs fall on his body, but the strange thing is that the monk didn't even frown a point, as if he was not the one who was beaten.
Seeing the big monk being beaten, the little monk turned as usual, and instead of worrying, he sat on the ground and watched with interest.
With a "click", a stick that hit the head of the great monk was broken in two.
"King Kong is not bad? It's kind of interesting. Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself.
Seeing that the stick was broken, the thugs in the Qinglou were not only afraid, but several people even took out their knives directly, and this time there was even a thug who rushed towards the little monk with a knife in his hand.
Seeing that the knife was about to be stabbed on the little monk's body, Dongxue finally couldn't help but make a move.
Seeing Dongxue make a move, Mu Qiuhuang secretly said "It's a pity", but at the moment when Dongxue went up, Mu Qiuhuang didn't know what he saw? It was a sight to behold.
