It was almost noon, Master Xuanzang took a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man in Chinese clothes to the door of the small courtyard where Tang Xiu and his family lived.

Before he stepped into the small courtyard, he smelled the smell of rice, Master Xuanzang's expression was calm and unmoved by the aroma, but the young man in Chinese clothes who came with him was a sharp sniff, but when he smelled the smell of several of the dishes, his face couldn't help but become a little strange.

There are chicken, fish, lamb, and even beef, and each smell is so unique that you can't help but salivate when you smell it.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Xuanzang was accompanying him, the young man in Chinese costume would even think that he had come to the wrong place, this was really the Temple of Mercy and Grace and not the dining room of a top chef?

Also, although the Temple of Mercy and Grace does not explicitly prohibit alcohol and meat, but the person who dares to drink and meat so blatantly in the temple is the first time that the young man in Chinese clothes has seen it, this Tang Xiu is really interesting.

The courtyard door was hidden, and when Master Xuanzang was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the young man in Chinese clothes directly pushed the door open and walked in directly.

Seeing him like this, Master Xuanzang didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly and followed.

In the courtyard, the fire had been extinguished at this moment, and when Master Xuanzang and the others entered, all the people inside had already entered the house, and it seemed that they were going to prepare for a meal.

The young man in Chinese costume walked in front, and at the first glance of entering the courtyard, he saw a very abrupt and conspicuous stove on the west wall of the courtyard, which seemed to be newly built, and the pots and pans were all new. Seeing these open-air stoves, the corners of the mouth of the young man in Chinese clothes twitched slightly, this Tang Xiu really doesn't regard himself as an outsider, is he going to live for a long time or what, even the stove has been built?

"Young Master, are you back?!"

Hearing the noise outside, Tang Lu rushed out of it at a trot, and couldn't help but show some disappointment on his face after seeing that the person who came was a monk and a young man. He didn't know any of the people who came, but they were all guests, so he still stepped forward to greet and ask.

"It turned out that Master Xuanzang had arrived." Before Tang Lu's words could be spoken, Pei Cai'er, who came out later, couldn't help showing a hint of joy on her face after seeing Xuanzang, and hurriedly came over to greet her, and said in a cut voice: "I've been looking for a mage before, but I heard that the mage went to the palace and never waited, but now it's okay, and I'm finally looking forward to you." ”

was stunned by Pei Cai'er's words, Xuanzang performed a Buddhist ritual and said: "I don't know what it is for a female layman to find a poor monk?" ”

"My aunt and young master are gone!" Wan'er, who was standing beside Pei Cai'er, interjected: "Since I went out this morning, I haven't come back until now, my young lady is worried that something has happened to the young master, so I want to ask Master Xuanzang to help find it." ”

"Yes, yes," Tang Lu also said urgently: "I went out with the young master in the morning, and when I came back, the young master said that I should go buy something and he would come back first, but it was a morning since I came back after shopping, and I haven't seen the shadow of the young master, the young master must have had an accident, Master Xuanzang, you are the host of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, you must know a lot of people, please help me find my young master......"

"Huh?"

Xuanzang and the young man in Chinese costumes were all stunned, it was only one morning, this is a bit too fussy, right? Especially this servant, he was so anxious that tears were about to fall out, as if the sky was about to fall, as for it?

"Don't worry, the three donors," Xuanzang comforted softly: "Maybe Tang Jushi has something to delay temporarily, so he came back late." This is Chang'an City, there are not so many villains, and the three donors can rest assured. ”

"Not necessarily." Tang Lu retorted loudly: "My young master often said that the more prosperous the place, the more dark places are hidden, Chang'an City is so prosperous, there must be a lot of bad people hiding in it, if they want to be unfavorable to my young master, just the young master's small body, then what's the matter?" ”

The more prosperous the place, the more there are some dark places that are hidden, hearing this, a black line can't help but rise on the face of the young man in Chinese clothes, this is the first time that someone dares to comment on the capital of Chang'an in front of him, could it be that Chang'an City is so filthy in the eyes of Tang Xiu and them?

"Also, at that time, my young master asked me to go shopping very suddenly, and the thing I bought turned out to be meat dumplings that he usually doesn't eat much, and the young master must have noticed it in advance and knew that someone wanted to tie him up, so he opened me in advance and came back to report the news for the young lady."

Meat...... Meat dumplings?

This time, not only the young man in Chinese costumes, but even Xuanzang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, even if you want to eat meat, how much should you pay attention to the feelings of the monks? If you eat it secretly, you eat it, why do you have to say it so loudly?

"Master Xuanzang, don't be surprised." Seeing that Xuanzang's face was a little wrong, Pei Cai'er hurriedly explained: "Actually, my husband usually abides by the rules of the temple, and the food in the temple is also light vegetarian......

When she said these words, Pei Cai'er felt a little blushing, but in order to find Tang Xiu's whereabouts earlier, it was reasonable to tell some lies in a hurry, hoping that the Buddha would not be surprised, Amitabha.

"Don't worry, don't worry, if something really happens to Tang Jushi, the poor monk will definitely not sit idly by."

Xuanzang spoke out to convince him, while the young man in Chinese clothes on the side looked at the room inside with a strange expression, if Tang Xiu usually eats vegetarian food, then where does the smell of chicken, sheep, cow, and fish that he smells under his nose come from? Is it all the smell of meat dumplings? Since when did anyone in Chang'an City have been extravagant enough to use beef to make zongzi?

It's really getting more and more interesting, I didn't expect the grandson of Wangchuan Gong to be such an interesting person.

Xuanzang said this in his mouth, but he was actually not very worried in his heart, as early as the day before yesterday, he had already seen that Tang Xiu had broken through the peak of Ming Jin and entered the level of dark energy, even if someone really wanted to be unfavorable to him and wanted to kidnap him, unless it was the old generals in Chang'an City who were highly respected or the old master who knew and guarded the view, otherwise, what should really be worried should be those who kidnapped Tang Xiu.

"The poor monk will send people to look around, and the three donors don't have to worry." With his hands folded and bowed to Pei Cai'er, Xuanzang turned to look at the young man in Chinese clothes again, "Li Jushi, since Tang Xiu is not here, I don't know if you will go with the poor monk to worship the Buddha, or ......."

"Master Xuanzang, although he is busy, don't pay attention to me." The young man in Chinese clothes waved his hand lightly, and then looked up at Pei Cai'er: "Since Tang Xiu's son is not here, and I happen to have some time, I want to wait here a little longer, I think Mrs. Tang shouldn't mind if I have a meal here, right?" ”

"When...... Of course. ”

Pei Cai'er obviously didn't expect that there would be people who would be so cheeky to rub their food at this time, didn't he see that these people were no longer in the mood to eat?

However, after all, this person was a guest brought by Master Xuanzang, and they were now asking Master Xuanzang for something, Pei Caier couldn't refute Master Xuanzang's face, so she had to reluctantly agree.

Anyway, they are not in the mood to eat anymore, and since this young man wants to eat, it is better to cheapen him directly than to let the leftovers of the prepared meals cool down. Fortunately, this person is not a monk, otherwise he would not have been able to see the food they had prepared, let alone eat it.
