Chapter 188: Descending the Mountain
Mrs. Mu's attitude was not very enthusiastic. She didn't even bother to say kind words to Huiming, so she directly dragged Mu Hongsheng away. And Huiming didn't seem to mind too much, and watched with a smile as Mrs. Mu San left with Mu Hongshang and Xie Shurou.
"Hongsheng," it wasn't until she turned the winding bluestone road that Lady Mu San lowered her head and asked, "Miss Xie said, that Master Huiming wants to accept you as an apprentice?" What the hell is going on. ”
"That's what he said." Mu Hongshang nodded: "Third uncle, I didn't admit anything to him casually." But he said that he would go to our house to find his grandmother. ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Mu San thought about it and nodded: "It's okay." I will tell your grandmother well, you don't have to worry, this matter is handled by adults, you are the eldest lady of our Guogong Mansion, he wants to accept you as an apprentice when he opens his mouth, but he thinks well. ”
"Third lady," Xie Shurou on the side couldn't help but interject: "Why don't you finish the dojo and go down the mountain early?" That Huiming Zen Master looks not young, maybe confused, today his mind is hot and said that he wants to accept Sister Mu as a disciple, and when Sister Mu goes down the mountain, he can't see people, calm and calm, maybe he is not so persistent. ”
"Reasonable." Third Lady Mu nodded: "Then wait for the dojo to be finished tomorrow, and we will go down the mountain early the next morning."
"Sister Xie, what about you?" Mu Hongshang asked, "Do you want to stay in the temple?"
"Let's go." Xie Shurou raised her face and smiled softly: "Before I came to deliver the letter in the clear air, it was my grandmother who wrote to ask us to go down the mountain. I have just told my mother, and she also said that she will go down the mountain in the next two days, and she has sent someone to arrange the carriage and horses. I'll mention it to her later, and we'll set off together the day after tomorrow, so we can have a companion on the way. ”
"That's fine." Mrs. Mu San also smiled and nodded: "I am very close to Grandma Xie, and it would be cheap if I could walk together on the road."
On the second day, it was still a day of peace dojo, and Mrs. Mu San was very busy, but she didn't think that the old monk Huiming dared to do anything to Mu Hongsheng, the baby bump of the Anguo Mansion, so she just told Mu Hongsheng not to walk around, and asked Xie Shurou to take good care of Mu Hongsheng.
Mrs. Mu San was not very nervous, but Xie Shurou, who was entrusted with "watching the child", was a little nervous. She felt that it was because she had too many sequelae in modern society, and the old monk Huiming who suddenly appeared could always remind her of all kinds of strange conspiracy theories.
For example, Huiming belongs to a certain killer organization, Mu Hongsheng has peculiar roots and bones, and he is favored and wants to be snatched away and cultivated, or Huiming is Rong Di's spy and deliberately approached Mu Hongsheng, in order to catch her and threaten An Guogong or something.
Reasonably, she knows very well that these unreliable brain holes are seriously buggy and unrealizable in reality, which killer organization would think so much about abducting An Guogong's only daughter, even if Rong Di is a monk in Beijing, then he should choose a national temple like Daxiangguo Temple where powerful people frequently come and go.
But I don't know what's going on, Xie Shurou's brain hole is so big that she can't make up for it, and all kinds of TV series and unreliable plots are spinning around in her mind for a while, causing her to be nervous involuntarily.
Xie Shurou later found several monks to inquire about Huiming, but in fact, she didn't inquire about anything, Huiming's details are very easy to inquire, it is said that he has been in Jinghui Temple for forty or fifty years, and is the uncle of the abbot Master Juejing.
Juejing's master, Master Huiqing, was the last abbot of Jinghui Temple, and he passed away more than ten years ago, and Master Huiqing accepted four disciples, and Huiming had not confiscated a single apprentice for so many years.
The monks of Jinghui Temple all said that Huiming did not like to meddle in the affairs of the temple on weekdays, and many young monks of low rank never even spoke to him.
As for why this old monk is so good, Mu Hongsheng and Xie Shurou didn't understand this question after inquiring for a long time. However, a monk of the Juezi generation said that the abbot Juejing is actually not bad, but according to the great monk, the monks practice martial arts only to strengthen their bodies, not to compete with others, so basically no one has seen Juejing do things with others, and they have only seen him practice by himself.
And Juejing doesn't seem to have taught his apprentices to practice martial arts, and most of the monks in Jinghui Temple are just ordinary monks who honestly recite scriptures.
"Master Huiqing, like Master Huiming, both practice martial arts, which is very common among monks," the master of the Juezi generation told Mu Hongshang and Xie Shurou: "However, among the Juezi generation, only Senior Brother Juejing has learned kung fu with Master Huiqing, he started early, and was brought up by Master Huiqing since he was a child, and the Dharma and martial arts were taught by Master Huiqing himself."
It sounds like Hui Ming is a very senior old monk...... I have been in the temple for forty or fifty years, and I don't know how old this old monk is.
The news she inquired about didn't seem to be of much use, but Xie Shurou still couldn't rest assured, so on the second day, she watched Mu Hongsheng tightly like a cell boss, and didn't let the little girl go out of the meditation room of the guest house.
Fortunately, Mu Hongshang was very obedient and didn't let her walk around, and she didn't insist, so she honestly followed Xie Shurou to spend a day in the guest house.
There was nothing to do for a day, and the next morning, Mrs. Mu San took Mu Hongshang to prepare to go down the mountain, and Grandma Xie also took Xie Shurou with her, and until this time, the old monk Huiming never showed up again.
Xie Shurou put a snack at this time, thinking that the old monk was really just a whim, and casually said that he wanted to accept Mu Hongshang as an apprentice, right?
The bluestone road down the mountain is rugged and long, for these delicate and frail ladies and young ladies, such a rugged and distant downhill road is naturally not easy to walk, so Grandma Xie sent someone down the mountain a day in advance to pass the word and arrange a sedan chair.
Grandma Xie actually arranged a total of four sedan chairs, their mother and daughter, Mrs. Mu San, and Mu Hongsheng, one person and one carry. Of course, others need a sedan chair, but Mu Hongshang actually doesn't need it, she refused to be carried, followed her uncle's sedan chair, and jumped all the way down the mountain.
Mrs. Mu naturally knew that Mu Hongsheng had been practicing martial arts all year round, and it was nothing to her to take this mountain road, so she didn't care about her. After walking down the mountain for half an hour, the lady who was carried by the sedan chair was naturally very comfortable, but the maids who followed the sedan chair all the way down were tired enough.
These big girls are usually very delicate, one by one, they don't go out of the door, and they are more squeamish than the pampered girls of small families, and they suddenly let them follow the sedan chair for such a long way, and they are a little unbearable. When I arrived at the carriage and horse post under the mountain, not to mention the maids of the Xie family, even the lotus leaves and water chestnuts were a little tired.
