"She said her surname was Xiao." The old monk smiled and repeated.

Lin Wanrong's heart was beating sharply, and then she said again, could it be a homonym? He took out the pencil from his arms, drew a few times on his hand, pointed it to the master and asked cautiously: "Master, her surname is Xiao?" Or is it the surname Xiao? ”

The monk smiled and shook his head: "This, the female donor has not explained. ”

Without explanation, Lin Wanrong's heart suddenly became cold, and she wondered: "Then may I ask the master again, what does she look like?" ”

The benefactor was veiled and couldn't see clearly, and the old man didn't know what she looked like. What's more, in the eyes of my monks, all living beings are equal, and pink and skeletons are also ordinary, and I really can't tell the difference between high and low. "The Great Monk said.

"Pink and skeletons are the same?" Lin Wanrong smiled, pointed at Xu Zhiqing and said, "Master, do you think I look as good-looking as Miss Xu?" ”

The old monk glanced at the two of them with a smile, nodded and said: "It may seem different to outsiders, but in the eyes of the old monk and me, the two of you are the same, even the distinguished guests who have just left, and they are no different from you." ”

A distinguished guest who just left? The old monk seemed to have something to say. With the identity of the abbot of Xiangguo Temple of this master, it is not strange that he actually came to pass the word, Lin Wanrong had been tricked into suffering a loss last time, so he was naturally cautious, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked: "Then may I ask the master, what did Miss Xiao say?" ”

The monk nodded and said, "Miss Xiao said that she is waiting for you at the hot spring in the back mountain." ”

"Backmountain Hot Springs?" Xu Zhiqing couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Master." As far as the little girl knows, the hot springs of this Xiangguo Temple are never open to outsiders, so how did this Miss Xiao go to the ground? ”

"Exactly, exactly." Lin Wanrong smiled and glanced at Miss Xu approvingly, it wasn't for her to remind me, I couldn't think of this. There are many reasons why Xiangguo Temple can have such a lofty status today. It's because of the presence of this hot spring. In order to have a pleasant climate, the four seasons are like spring, and the flower viewing party can be held in this early spring, attracting countless visitors. If the hot springs are open to outsiders, they must not be messed up in a pot of porridge.

"Amitabha." The old monk snorted the Buddha and said with a smile: "What Miss Xu said is very true. The hot springs in this back mountain are very precious, and they are on the top of a steep mountain, and even the monks in our temple are difficult to climb. Naturally, it is more difficult for ordinary tourists to approach. But this young lady holds the seal of an old man, and will not hide it from you. The hot springs in this temple. It was this old man who first discovered and pioneered it. She has descendants who come here to ask for help, how can the old man refuse? ”

Old monk friends? Male and female? Lin Wanrong still had questions, but saw the old monk and said, "Master Lin don't worry, my old friend is upright." Since this Miss Xiao is her descendant, she will never hurt you. The old man vouched in the name of the abbot of Xiangguoji Temple. ”

Guarantee? Guarantee a fart, if my life is killed, what guarantee do you take? He is not worried about the comeback of the fairy at this time, with the toxicity of the bee needle, even if the fairy does not die at this time, I am afraid that there is only half a life left, where is the kung fu to come here to soak in the hot springs, pretending to be mysterious? Could it be that Qing Xuan is really looking for me? His heart jumped twice, but he was even more confused.

The eldest lady remembered the events of that night, and felt worried, pulled his sleeve and said, "Are you going again?" ”

Can you not go to this? The old monk said that the woman's surname was Xiao, so even if she was not Qing Xuan, she would definitely know Qing Xuan's whereabouts. Besides, looking at this old monk's kindness, even Xu Zhiqing respects him so much, I don't think there should be any bad intentions. As long as there is no ill will towards me, why not go?

Seeing him nodding, the eldest lady couldn't help but snort, but she really couldn't find a reason to stop him.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will be cautious this time and will never let the last thing happen again." Otherwise, you can go with me. ”

The eldest lady snorted and didn't speak, although Xu Zhiqing didn't know what was going on, but when she saw the expressions of the two, she smiled and said, "Sister Xiao, you don't have to worry." The old Zen master is a Taoist monk, good at deducing personnel, and looking at people very accurately, he said that Miss Xiao has no ill will towards Lin San, so there will be no mistake. In the past, after the death of his mother, his father went to Xiangguo Temple to do Buddhist things, and the old Zen master talked with his father about a game, and laughed that his father would meet a marriage again in a few decades. At first, my father didn't believe it, but didn't he really meet Aunt Su a few days ago? ”

Can an old monk tell fortunes? Lin Wanrong hurriedly said: "Old Zen master, senior monk, do you really know how to tell fortunes?" Is it accurate? Can you show my little brother a look, I want to ask about career, wealth, love, life, and, when will I find Qing Xuan and ask the monk for a solution. ”

Xu Zhiqing looked at him with a smile, this person is best at beating snakes with sticks, you say a word, but he can think of ten irrelevant words.

The old monk stroked his beard and laughed: "Fate is the number of days, and it is destined in the dark, who can really peek into the heavens and calculate the fate?" Those falsehoods, don't believe them. Master Lin just needs to follow his own thoughts, do what you want to do, and you will reap the rewards, don't be influenced by others. ”

The old monk seemed to have a Zen machine when he spoke, but everyone would say this kind of thing, and Lin Wanrong didn't care, nodded and said, "In that case, then I'll go and see." May I ask the master, where is the hot spring in the back mountain? ”

The old monk nodded and smiled, and said to a little monk behind him: "Wujing, you can take Master Lin with you." ”

The eldest lady knew that she couldn't stop him, sighed, glanced at him and said, "Be careful in everything, don't fall into someone else's ambush like last time." ”

Lin Wanrong grinned, nodded, and said in her heart, the ambush of a fart, if it wasn't for the good thing that you did last time, I would have knocked the fairy down. But this time it's definitely not the fairy looking for ballast, if she really wants to hit me, she doesn't need to work so hard, just ambush on the road, or shoot a flying arrow, and Lao Tzu will be reimbursed.

Naturally, these words would not be said to the eldest lady, so he pulled the little monk called Wujing and hurriedly walked to the mountain behind Xiangguo Temple. After turning a few corners, he disappeared.

The eldest lady saw his figure disappear and stood there for a long time before sighing faintly. Xu Zhiqing grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Xiao, what is he doing?" ”

Xiao Yuruo's heart was sour, and he said lightly: "Will his wife go?" ”

"Lady?" Miss Xu frowned and said, "Is he already married?" Why didn't my father talk to me? ”

"Who knows if he's married?" The eldest lady said angrily: "He doesn't know how many confidants he has, and this villain himself doesn't know how many of them he can count, I'm afraid that he has to add his toes to count them." ”

Xu Zhiqing sneered. glanced at Xiao Yuruo with interest. The eldest lady's face was slightly red, and she said lightly: "Sister, what are you laughing at?" ”

Miss Xu said with a straight face: "Sister Xiao, do you believe my sister's words?" ”

The eldest lady nodded lightly and said, "Sister Xu, you are a scholar and a celestial person, and the younger sister admires it so much, how can I not believe your words?" ”

Xu Zhiqing pulled Xiao Yuruo to take a few steps slightly, and said with a smile: "Then my sister asked you a few words, and you answered honestly." ”

The eldest lady nodded. Xu Zhiqing glanced at her with a smile and said, "Sister Xiao, do you really like this Lin San?" ”

Xiao Yuruo's face is like Feixia. Hesitate for a moment. Finally, he nodded bravely and hummed softly.

Xu Zhiqing smiled slightly and said, "Sister of the Xiao family, it is natural for men and women to be happy, and there is no need to be too shy." ”

Xiao Yuruo hummed softly, a gentle light appeared in his eyes, and he whispered: "That being said, this bad guy is not serious all day long, and he doesn't seek fame, and he doesn't want to be an official, I'm afraid that my mother will be sad." ”

Xu Zhiqing took her hand and said with a smile: "The pleasure of men and women has nothing to do with status, the emperor can also marry a people's daughter, and the princess can also marry a butcher." Although this Lin San is giggling all day long, with his ability, it is not difficult to ask for an official and a half-job, and this is by no means a problem. Madame Xiao is shrewd and will never oppose your affair with him because of this. ”

Hearing Xu Zhiqing say this, the eldest lady felt like she had taken a reassuring pill, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she didn't seem to have something to say, so she said: "Sister, you mean that the difficult thing between me and him is not because of my identity and status, but because of something else?" ”

Xu Zhiqing neither admitted nor denied it, and said with a slight smile: "Sister Xiao, although we have not been in contact for a long time, I can see that you are a very assertive woman, calm in case of trouble, strong temperament, and by no means an easy person, in other words, you are different from other women, you have the ability to be independent, and you don't have to rely on men to live." ”

This is true, the eldest lady has been in business since she was a child, and she has already developed a strong character, if it weren't for the fact that she met Lin San, I'm afraid that very few people would be able to see her gentle side. Seeing Xu Zhiqing frowning slightly, Xiao Yuruo hurriedly said, "Sister, is there anything wrong with this?" Please let my sister speak clearly. ”

Xu Zhiqing nodded and said, "Yes, that's the problem. A talented, good-looking, and independent woman like you is rare in the world, and my sister must have a very high vision. If an ordinary man meets his sister, he will treat you wholeheartedly, and he will never have the heart to provoke other women. Let's ask, which woman in the world doesn't expect her husband to love herself for eternity, especially a woman as good as her sister? This Lin Sansheng is romantic, there are countless confidants, with you, but you still want to provoke others, is it better in your heart? ”

The eldest lady sighed slightly and said, "What if it's not good, if this bad person dares to abandon me, I will die to show him." ”

Xu Zhiqing said with a smile: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, you are young, and you are not yet in love with him, what are you doing when you say something dead?" ”

Xiao Yuruo's face was like Qiu Feng, and she said coquettishly: "What kind of affection lingers, my sister came to tease me again." It's just that this person is romantic, what can I do? ”

Xu Zhiqing smiled mysteriously and said: "Sister, don't underestimate yourself, a wonderful person like you, if you want to hold him in the center of the earth and let him love you alone, it is not a difficult thing." She lowered her head and whispered in the eldest lady's ear......

*********************************************

Said that it was the back mountain, there were still a few steps away from Xiangguo Temple, the little monk took him out of the door, Lin Wanrong hurriedly took a few steps and smiled: "This master, your name is Wujing, right?" ”

The little novice said: "The little monk is Wujing. ”

Lin Wanrong looked him up and down, gave him a thumbs up, and praised: "Good muscles and bones, good face, really a monk." Master Wujing, are you familiar with Master Huikong? ”

Wujing said: "Huikong is the ancestor of the little monk, and the little monk has always followed the ancestor to practice Buddhism, and he will never leave an inch. ”

Lin Wanrong grinned, and said with both hands: "Then congratulations to the master, I guess the old Zen master is cultivating you as a successor." "This little monk is only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and his ancestor died, his master died, and then hundreds of senior brothers died before it was his turn to take over. This is Lin San's usual trick before the words, whether you are useful or not, the sycophants will be slapped first.

Wujing hurriedly pronounced the Buddha's horn, and even dared not dare.

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "The master doesn't need to be modest. Imagine that Zen Master Huikong takes you with him all day long, isn't it to train you or what? Have you ever seen him do this to anyone else? Not really. ”

The little monk Wujing grew up in the temple since he was a child, and his thoughts were pure, how could he be so bewitched. When you think about it, it seems to be true. The ancestor attaches great importance to himself, it is really Amitabha Buddha, but he can't help but smile with joy on his face.

Isn't Lao Tzu too bad, Lin Wanrong smiled and continued: "When Miss Xiao went to find Zen Master Huikong today, was the master there?" Alas, I haven't seen Miss Xiao for a long time, and I don't know what she looks like? Did you grow taller or shorter, fat or thin? ”

The little monk pondered for a while and said: "The female benefactor is wearing a veil, and the little monk can't see it clearly, but judging from her form, she must be a very beautiful woman." ”

"Oh, really?" Lin Wanrong said quietly: "Then is she in good shape?" Are there any outstanding features? ”

"Outstanding features?" The little monk muttered to himself, thought about it carefully, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Master Lin, I remember—she is very big. ”

"She's big? What's big? Lin Wanrong said strangely.

The little monk gestured with his hands on his chest and said, "It's big here." ”

It's big here? Lin Wanrong subconsciously glanced at his chest, and immediately understood what he meant, and immediately sweated profusely. , It turned out to be a lascivious little monk, who stared at other people's chests when he had nothing to do. If it's really my Qingxuan, you dare to peek at my wife, Lao Tzu will gouge out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs. Damn, what has this Huikong been teaching all day long, why are the little monks under him so lustful, so Huikong won't be the same way, right? Amitabha, Buddha blessed.

"Master Lin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his fierce expression, the little monk hurriedly asked.

"Oh, nothing. Little monk, do you look at the chest of the female benefactor every day? Lin Wanrong's eyes flashed fiercely, and she asked with a smile.

Wujing's face turned red, and he hurriedly announced the Buddha's name: "No, no, I never peek at the female donor." My ancestor said that women and skeletons are the same, and when I see a woman, it is like seeing a skeleton, Amitabha, seeing a skeleton. ”

Lin Wanrong listened to it funny, this little monk is sixteen or seventeen years old, it is a good time to call the spring land, and it is understandable to be more obsessed with women. It's just that if you dare to blaspheme my Qingxuan, whether you are a monk or a boar, Lao Tzu will castrate you a hundred times.

The little monk didn't dare to speak anymore, so he hurried with Lin Wanrong, and after a while, he reached the halfway cliff, but the mountain hot spring was at the peak, and the terrain was steep, and it was extremely difficult to climb.

Wujing clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's horn and said, "Master Lin, that Miss Xiao is on the peak." There is still a distance left, and the little monk can no longer go up, so please go up by yourself. ”

Lin Wanrong looked up, but saw that there was only one sheep intestine path to the peak, and it was all simple steps. The staircase was so steep that it hovered between the walls of the mountain, allowing only one person to pass through, and if the path was sealed, no one would be able to climb the mountain.

The little monk left in a hurry after speaking, Lin Wanrong thought about it, if the fairy came to take revenge, there was no need to invite herself to the peak of this hot spring, and it was not a love date, why find such a good place. If it was Qing Xuan, why did she have to take so many detours? After thinking about it, he couldn't guess who was coming, so he secretly checked the treasure on his body to confirm that it was correct, and then slowly walked up the path.

This road is very narrow, winding and rugged, sometimes to support the rock up, sometimes to cross the stone wall, and to be careful not to be attacked by someone, all the way up is very tired, walk for half an hour, only to see the peak.

At the entrance of the peak, a natural boulder was deeply embedded in the soil, Lin Wanrong climbed the boulder with both hands, his body was a little tired, and he sat on the stone.

It is already the setting sun, sitting on the peak, looking at the distant peaks and mountains, the clouds are covered with colorful clouds, and the heart is very comfortable.

However, he didn't come to see the scenery, thinking of the mysterious Miss Xiao waiting here, his heart suddenly became anxious, and he secretly stretched out his head from behind the stone and looked out.

The top of this mountain is very vast, surrounded by steep rocks, strange and rugged, but in the middle of the peak, there is a large pool. A hot spring is bubbling and steaming, and the hot springs gushing out of the hot spring shrouded the surroundings in a faint mist, which seems to be unclear and full of mystery.

On this peak, in addition to the stone is a hot spring, where can you see a human figure, Lin Wanrong carefully observed for a while, and it was still quiet. He had a sudden feeling in his heart, wouldn't it, could it be that the old monk lied to me?

He was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard a soft sound, the pool water shook open, and a wonderful and exquisite figure jumped out of the water, his long hair was gently shaken, and a little water droplet dispersed with a slight heat, and the mist steamed out, like a beautiful white lotus, blooming in the afterglow of the setting sun......
