Chapter 392: The Two Monks of Tiantai (I)

Xiao Er has been studying with his uncle Xiao Qi Kaimeng since he was eight years old, and he has some knowledge compared to a girl of her age, but although he heard the middle-aged monk speak reasonably, he couldn't drink the chicken soup simmered from the leftover chicken rack he ate, so he eased his tone and begged the middle-aged monk to say: "This chicken soup is still for you to enjoy, if you want to save me, please bother you to pick up some fruit for me to eat."

When the middle-aged monk heard that Xiao Er would rather starve than drink the chicken soup he had simmered for her, he asked in surprise: "Little donor, you are not from an ordinary village, right?" Where do you live, and who else are there in your family? It's getting late today, and tomorrow the poor monk will send you home to reunite with your parents. ”

Xiao E was unwilling to tell his name and origin to this monk who met in Pingshui and did not abide by the rules and precepts, so he deduced that he would talk to him tomorrow, turned sideways, and ignored him.

Although the middle-aged monk said that he was not informal, but his heart was not bad, according to Xiao E's request, he went to pick some wild fruits growing in the mountains and forests for Xiao E to eat, drank the can of chicken soup simmered from the leftover chicken rack alone, wiped his mouth contentedly, and went to sleep aside.

Out of the girl's wariness of strange men, Xiao E didn't dare to sleep at all this night, listened to the middle-aged monk snoring from time to time not far away and gnawed some fruit, and lay down with her eyes open for a night, and the next day as soon as it was dawn, she begged the middle-aged monk to take her to find her uncle's family.

Since the flood had not yet receded at that time, Xiao E dragged her weak body and followed the middle-aged monk along the river for more than ten miles, but she could not find a figure she was familiar with.

"After the great plague there will be a great plague." The middle-aged monk stood by the river, looked at a floating corpse floating in the river from time to time, and sighed to Xiao Er beside him, "The poor monk should go ahead to collect some herbs that can prevent and control the plague and distribute them to the people along the river, so as not to suffer any more misery." If you have nowhere to go and can trust the poor monks, why don't you follow me to collect medicine and prevent the epidemic, and look for your family at the same time. ”

Xiao E thought that he had lost the news of his uncle's family, and he really had nowhere to go, and he didn't want to return to Houliang to find his biological father Xiao Yue, so he nodded and agreed.

For nearly two months after that, Xiao E followed the middle-aged monk to almost every local village and town affected by the floods, but still did not find any trace of his uncle's family. In these dozens of days, she was surprised to find that the middle-aged monk who happened to save her life by the river was not only quite superb in medical skills, and almost had the ability to bring the dead back to life, but also had a benevolent heart and great compassion, often in order to save people's lives, he did not hesitate to forget to sleep and eat, and did his best.

Gradually, the dislike for the middle-aged monk when they first met was gone, and it was replaced by a heartfelt admiration for him.

Finally one day, Xiao Er took the initiative to tell the middle-aged monk his name and background, and asked the middle-aged monk to teach her medical skills and take her as an apprentice.

When the middle-aged monk heard that Xiao E was born in the Houliang royal family and had a bizarre background, he couldn't help but sigh on his back and sighed, and comforted her: "The poor monk looks at the princess's face, and sooner or later there will be an adventure. The princess refused to return to her biological parents, and forgave the poor monk for telling her bluntly, so that her uncle's family was likely to have suffered misfortune, so she asked the princess to tell the poor monk that there were still respectable relatives in Jiangnan who could take refuge, and the poor monk was willing to send the princess to reunite with her relatives in order to wait for the time. ”

Xiao Er saw that he insisted on refusing to accept him as an apprentice, so he had no choice but to tell the middle-aged monk that he also had a bride uncle named Zhang Ke, who lived in the countryside of Jingnan, and begged the middle-aged monk to send her to his uncle's house.

The middle-aged monk really took Xiao E to Jingnan, found Zhang Ke's house, and entrusted Xiao E to Zhang Ke for adoption, and only then did he bid farewell to Xiao E, wanting to go back to the disaster to give medicine and save people.

Before leaving, the middle-aged monk handed Xiao E a meridian map and a box of golden needles, and taught her the method of piercing the acupoints with golden needles. Xiao Er was grateful to the middle-aged monk for his life, so he excused himself to find him to solve his doubts in the future, and insisted that the middle-aged monk tell him his Dharma name, which monastery he was a monk in, and the middle-aged monk couldn't resist him, so he reported to her the name of Zhiqi, and only said that he wanted to rush to a monk of Tiantai Mountain Club in Anle County, Huiji County, Jiangzuo, and strongly persuaded Xiao Er not to go thousands of miles to find him.

Xiao E talked very speculatively with An Ruoxi today, so he told An Ruoxi in detail about the time he escaped death a few years ago, met a high monk, and got him to teach medical skills. An Ruoxi listened attentively, not only amazed that Xiao E had such an adventure, but also couldn't help but be surprised by Xiao E's extraordinary talent, just with a meridian map and a box of golden needles handed over to her by Zhiqi, after several years of hard work, she learned superb medical skills, which can cure her own poisonous injuries.

Xiao Eyin was asked by An Ruoxi in person who taught him his medical skills, and he took advantage of the conversation to talk to her for a long time, seeing that An Ruoxi was already showing fatigue, so he got up and said: "Let's talk very happily today, and we will always stay together in the future, and we will be called sisters in private, how about it?" My sister has just recovered from her trauma, and it is inconvenient for my sister to stay here for a long time, so let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

When An Ruoxi heard this, she suddenly felt panicked, and hurriedly struggled to get up from the bed, and excused herself: "What a noble person the princess is, how dare the maid trespass and be worthy of the princess's sisters?" I beg the princess to retract her fate. If the princess is not tired of the maidservant, the maidservant will go to the princess early tomorrow morning to say goodbye and chat with the princess for a while. ”

Xiao E grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he didn't have many rules in the palace in his mind, and at this time, seeing An Ruoxi sincerely apologize and excuse himself in fear, he didn't mind much, and only responded lightly: "I only said that I am commensurate with your sister when there is no one in front of me, why should you be like this?" Then he turned around and left with the two maids, Red Peony and Green Pothos.

As soon as Xiao E left on the front foot, Yang Guang on the back foot rushed to visit An Ruoxi's injury with great interest.

"Ruoxi, can you already get out of bed and walk around?" Yang Guang pushed the door in, and when he saw An Ruoxi standing in front of the bed, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"The prince is happy, but I don't know where the joy comes from?" An Ruoxi bowed to Yang Guang and asked with a smile.

"I have ordered the construction of Buddhist temples in Bohai and Zhaojun today, and the Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou will also break ground soon, Ruoxi, the idea you made for me is about to be implemented, isn't this a happy event?" Yang Guang intended to make An Ruoxi happy, so he attributed the credit for rebuilding the Buddhist temple to An Ruoxi alone.

"Oh, so that's for that. The princess just left my room, I heard her say the name of Tiantai Mountain, and I remembered in a trance that I had heard someone mention this mountain, but I couldn't think exactly, the prince had heard of this mountain? The Buddhist temple that Yang Guang talked about, An Ruoxi suddenly remembered the familiar name of Tiantai Mountain that Xiao Er had just told her, and asked Yang Guang with a confused face.
