(10) Half-cultivated monks
In the desolate temple, Chu Jiu withdrew the red rope in his hand, looked at the half-cultivator opposite and said, "Half-knowing, it's the first time I've seen such a rare little fairy, which one of you has been transformed by the relics of a high monk?" ”
Half-knowledge is the embodiment of the relics of the enlightened monks, who are born to see through the lives of mortals, but they do not know anything about their own lives, so they are also called half-knowledge in the "Appearance of All Beings". Since there are very few truly enlightened monks in the world, relics are hard to come by, and there are even fewer people who can cultivate to half-know.
"I was originally a finger bone relic left by the void monk of Huguo Zen Temple, the ninth day of the first month, haven't you forgotten?"
Chu Jiu leaned against the already somewhat dilapidated door, tilted his head to look at Banxiu and said, "Cut, you actually led me here, there must be something more important than my amnesia, don't grind and chirp...... Where is shakuhachi? Hand it over. ”
The corners of Banxiu's mouth smiled, and he folded his hands and recited the sentence "Ani Buddha Buddha", the voice pushed layer by layer like a wave, and the memory returned to a year ago, when he first met Xu Qiangning on the night of March 3.
Xu Qiangning's eyes were full of murderous aura, took Xizhou's matching sword, stepped forward and said: "It's just that you are lying to confuse the public, and you even went to the Qiang King City to talk about my father's lifespan, and Yihua told me your whereabouts, but I can't get used to you influencing the government of the Qiang Kingdom under the guise of Buddhism." ”
In the early years, because Luo Xiaoxi was still young, he went to set up a stall to tell fortunes and make money in the name of a half-immortal, and when the girl was older, he never used his name as a half-immortal, until Yihua discovered him recently, and he reluctantly came forward to help her privately.
"Wait, you say I'm talking about the longevity of King Qiang? But I have never even gone out of Ruoqiang City, and I have not seen the King of Qiang, so how can I know his lifespan? ”
They half-knew that although they could see through the lives of mortals, they could only check it in front of themselves, and he was not the clairvoyant of the Nine Heavens, so how could Ruoqiang see the Qiang King City thousands of miles away?
"You mean to say...... Someone is manipulating the court behind your back, why should I believe you, if you lie, I won't have the life to return to the Qiang King City. ”
"The poor monk is an unemployed wandering monk, so can he really be that half-immortal?" He can't admit that he is a half-immortal, and more is better than less, "Ani Buddha Buddha, the donor carefully recalls that that person is disturbing people's hearts by using the name of a half-immortal, and he is aimed at the Qiang country on the surface, but if that person is not sent by the enemy country, who will take the benefits of this fisherman is the one who should draw the sword against the donor." ”
After Banxiu finished speaking, he hurriedly folded his hands and said: "Sins and sins, the poor way should persuade people to be kind, and the donor puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha on the ground." ”
At this moment, there was a sound of fighting outside, and then he heard Rossisi's voice.
"Lord Wang, come out quickly, your people don't seem to trust me very much."
Xu Qiangning threw the sword to Xizhou and then gave it a look, Xizhou took the saber and went out, Xizhou looked at the black-clothed people who were chasing her, frowned and said "not good" and drew his sword forward to block the knife that was about to be cut for Luo Xiaoxi.
Tonight was originally to arrest the half-immortals, so there was no need for their people to wear black clothes, this group of people in black was not here to kill people.
"The monk was fixed inside, and he was ordered to be caught alive."
The leader gave an order, and a number of black-clothed people jumped towards the house behind him, Xizhou was embarrassed at this time, on the one hand, the life of his master, and on the other hand, he became the woman that his master must protect in this life, he has not been so sad since he became a guard.
Luo Xiaoxi saw Xizhou's worries, but she didn't buy new darts, so she had to dodge their swords, and then slipped behind Xizhou, and finally had the space to take out the drug she bought at a high price, and said, "Xizhou, let's retreat to the inner room." ”
She whispered to Xizhou, "Cover your mouth and nose," and then threw the small porcelain bottle back as she ran toward the room, and the men in black all fell.
The feeling of smashing the bottle is really relieving, no wonder Yihua is so frustrated to make so many small bottles specifically for smashing, it seems to be understandable. The corners of her mouth twitched twice when she saw the people inside clasp their hands together and the men in black all fell.
The three of them looked at the white-clothed monk in amazement, and said, "Anitabha, life is precious, and I hope you don't want to kill evil...... The poor monk still has important things to do, so he is one step ahead. ”
"I've seen it all, what else are you running away." Luo Xiaoxi lifted the corner of her skirt that hindered her from walking, and strode forward and grabbed the corner of Banxiu's clothes, "You're still dressed in white, aren't you going to explain the great achievements of your talent?" ”
"Xiaoxi, since the poor monk is here to make an appointment with this son, it naturally can't be too shabby, you say, right?"
He deliberately wore this white dress to go out in order to prevent others from finding his small broken temple, but he didn't expect to meet Luo Xiaoxi, a girl. The expression on his face suddenly became solemn, he turned around and took Luo Xiaoxi's hand, looked at it intently, and asked, "Girl, where did you get this shakuhachi in your hand?" ”
Since he sensed the birth of shakuhachi eighteen years ago, he broke through the relics and searched all the way, and eighteen years have passed since the day he picked her up, except for the breath of shakuhachi, he has never seen her reveal a little bit of shakuhachi-related news, and now he suddenly found his own body, it must not be a coincidence.
Xu Qiangning only learned at this time that her original name was Xiaoxi, and she actually knew this monk who knew demon magic, so it was not surprising that his shakuhachi could fall into her body, but since they met, maybe they could take the shakuhachi out. So, when Luo Xiaoxi asked him for his opinion, he nodded and acquiesced that he could tell the truth.
After Banxiu knew the original end of the matter, he was even more confused, he looked at Xu Qiangning and then at Luo Xiaoxi, and said: "I can only say that you are destined for heaven, and no one is destined to be inseparable from anyone." ”
Now that her body has returned, he no longer has to rely on the cultivation he has obtained for the deceased to renew the girl's life, and it should be time for him to leave.
Soon after, the boss of Yunlai and Yihua packed their luggage and went to the Central Plains, and Yihua gave Luo Xiaoxi the title deed of Yunlai Inn before leaving, saying that she was afraid that she would be in a bad mood when she became the princess one day, at least there was a good place to stay, which made Luo Xiaoxi ashamed and annoyed, and a complaint changed Yunlai Inn to a half-living tavern, and specially chose a good day to open.
Carp went to the back kitchen with great interest to discuss the menu with the masters, saying that he would definitely include a few vegetarian dishes in the tavern's menu, so that a vegetarian like Uncle Hanxiu could also come to satisfy his hunger. Luo Xiaoxi was afraid that he would not be able to get busy in front of him, so he also called the stones and aquatic plants to come to help, and it could be regarded as the opening of a new store, so Luo Xiaoxi decided that today's dishes were limited to five dishes, and gave the guests half price discounts.
While they were busy turning, Xu Qiangning, who was idle and watching the excitement on the side, came over slowly from behind, he looked at Luo Xiaoxi before accepting the money from that table, and was called to settle the bill by another table, her eyes just glanced at the guests at that table, and she accurately said the amount of silver, even he couldn't help but praise her, seeing that she was very satisfied with this back and forth.
Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the table staring at the person around him, and when the man looked over, he deliberately looked away, and then saw that the man was pulling something out of his cuff, and was about to put it in the mushroom balls that he had pried open with chopsticks.
"Oops, dad I have a stomachache"
The little boy next to the man saw that his father had succeeded and rolled on the ground with his stomach in his hands, and his voice was so loud that everyone present looked at him in unison. The man who was called his father was so frightened that he threw the chopsticks in his hand and said, "There are spiders, their dishes are not clean, and there are spiders in these mushroom balls." ”
Saying this, the guests who ordered this dish next to him threw away the chopsticks in their hands and wanted to settle accounts with the boss. Seeing this, Luo Xiaoxi, who heard the words on the side, walked over, leaned down to ask the little boy, saw that he was in pain on the surface but did not break out in a little cold sweat, his eyes glanced at the little boy's father, and then brought the dish over, and said: "It's just right, please bring the dog to this guest, let's go to the doctor for treatment together, and also go to investigate the cause by the way." ”
dared to deceive her Luo Xiaoxi for this trick, and her skills were still a little worse. The man saw that he could not deceive his opponent, so he decided to continue with a dead face, he hugged his son, and said while crying: "Son, my father shouldn't have brought you here, there is a problem with the food here, otherwise people will say it, the boss must have already colluded with the doctor, and wants to harm our father and son." ”
"This eldest brother, your son is in pain like this, you are still here to talk to me about whether to cheat or not, are you sure that he is your own son?" "Or is it that you originally planned to blackmail us, but when I proposed to go to the doctor's place to see a doctor, you became a thief."
Xu Qiangning stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said: "I just saw you sneakily digging something in your cuffs, if it is really a spider, it is better to confront the court, presumably this brother still has a spider's ...... left on his hand."
Before the other party could finish speaking, the man shook off Xu Qiangning's hand and ran away, and the little boy on the ground hurriedly slipped away when he saw this. At this time, everyone who understood the reason for the incident breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qiangning took out a handkerchief, stepped forward and gently wiped the sweat on Luo Xiaoxi's forehead, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you have to be busy to be dizzy, right?" ”
At this time, Luo Xiaoxi remembered that he had been gone for almost two hours, and if he waited a little longer, he was afraid that he would have a heart disease. He waited so patiently for so long to come to her, and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I ignored you when I got busy." ”
When the guests on the side saw them behaving like this, they said: "Boss Luo, your husband feels so sorry for you, I really envy others, I miss my family, not to mention wiping his sweat and serving his face with tea and water." ”
"No, my husband doesn't even bother to say a word to me."
This is a big misunderstanding, he is a prince, how can she be delusional as a commoner. So he was busy signaling to him, but he was hugged by the other party.
Xu Qiangning smiled at the guests and said, "Everyone, please use it slowly, I'll help my wife go to rest for a while." ”
Madam? She heard her right, what did he want?
