Volume 1 The Passing of the Flower House Chapter 11 The Famous Opera of Chang'an, the Flower House and the Smoke of the Flower Building
The temple is located in the middle of the mountain, in a forest next to the temple, there is a small wooden house. The interior of the house is extremely simple, with only a wooden chair, a futon, and a small wooden carved Buddha statue.
"Huhu, I said little monk, why are you so far away from this place, Huhu, I didn't expect there to be a hut here. Xiao'er sat on the wooden chair, panting, her beautiful eyes swept the room, and then asked about pure karma.
Jingye handed Xiao'er a glass of water, sat cross-legged on the futon, and looked at Xiao'er who was dressed differently from before. Compared with the bright dress with heavy makeup, Jingye currently prefers the smile with light makeup and elegant makeup, because he is a monk, if not, maybe he likes the smile of dressing up even more.
"Sometimes it is necessary to meditate in a no-man's land, neither affecting others nor being influenced by others. This time up the mountain, there is Miss Lao. Seeing that Xiao'er's breath calmed down, Jingye said slowly.
"You're weird. Forget it, don't care about these for now, let me ask you first, why do you have to look for Huayan?" Hearing what Jingye said, Xiao'er felt that the gentle little monk in front of her was different, but she didn't think about it anymore, but returned to the topic.
"Because she's really important to me. Jingye looked at the smiling eyes and said very seriously.
"Alas, five years ago, the owner of Hualou came back from a trip once, and she came to Huamanlou that time. At that time, Huamanlou was not as famous as it is now, and there were not many sisters who could sing and dance. All this also began to change with her arrival. Xiao'er saw Jingye's sincere expression, and she didn't hide it, and began to slowly talk about those past pictures.
"By chance, the sister who was originally the main actor had a serious illness and could not perform for a VIP with a very high status, I was still a junior apprentice at that time, and Sister Ziqing was not very skilled, and the other sisters were not sure to perform on stage. The owner of the flower building was very disappointed, and when everyone was at a loss, she stood up. Rouge pink, red clothes splendid, jade fingers and wrists, and delicate eyes. One person took the stage, one danced solo, and a fireworks dance shocked everyone present at the time. Do you know how endearing she was standing on the stage at that time, and the sisters were extremely envious, not to mention the honored guest. ”
"That is, after that, Hua Manlou moved Chang'an overnight, and she became famous in the capital. Since then, she has become the first drama girl of Huamanlou, and we have also begun to learn all kinds of flower dances by her, and the owner of Hualou has become more and more fond of her. Gradually, under her dedication, Hua Manlou poured out a lot of singing and dancing girls, and everyone in Hua Manlou knew it. And she was named Huayan. There is that sentence, Chang'an famous opera, Hualou Huayan!" Xiao'er said this, and her eyes couldn't stop being excited.
Jingye can probably imagine how beautiful she was at that time.
"And how do you have a relationship with her?" asked Jingye softly.
"Sister Huayan loves me very much, and after teaching her sisters to practice, she also quietly opened a small stove for me. She took care of me on weekdays, and she said that I miss one of her old friends, the same naughty, the same cute. I also regard Huayan as my own sister, and I also want to know who and where her old friend is. The smile gradually put away the excitement and turned into a lot of injuries. The sister who loved her so much in the past is now gone, and she can't do anything, which is really sad.
"What happened that day?" Pure karma didn't seem to have changed much, but in the depths of his eyes, an invisible pain was eating away at him.
On that day, the owner of Hualou told the sisters that Huamanlou was going to welcome an adult who had never been alive, so that everyone should prepare well and must not be lazy. Sister Huayan is naturally fully prepared, and we all do our own things. However, that night, the adult came to Huamanlou with a person. After the adults came, the owner of the flower house, who greeted him in person, ordered everyone to be kicked out of the theater, leaving only Sister Huayan. Before leaving, I found that Sister Huayan's expression was very sad. After that, Sister Huayan died tragically at the hands of that person. The sisters cried together and begged the owner of the flower building to come forward to seek justice, but the owner of the flower house told us very coldly that no one could mention this matter and this person from now on, otherwise it would be sent to the border. At that time, the owner of the flower house made me feel very strange. Xiao'er has already left tears, it can be said that the sisters who have been full of flowers have been blessed by flowers and smoke in the past five years, and she is the most.
"Didn't you report to the official?" Jingye put his right hand behind him, and his clenched fist was completely bloodless.
"Why didn't I report it, a few sisters secretly reported to the official, but they never came back. By the time they were found, they had died tragically, and even their corpses were mutilated. The sisters are scared, who dares to say anything. This matter is over. Xiao'er roared excitedly, and said resentfully while crying. She was there at the time, and she probably won't forget the tragic death of those sisters for the rest of her life.
"Where is the corpse of the flower smoke?" Jingye forcibly maintained the last calm, the depths of his pupils overflowed with blood, and the Buddha bead in his left hand emitted a blue light, and the cold breath entered his body, calming his spiritual veins.
"I don't know, after that night, everything about Sister Huayan is gone. Xiao'er shook her head, bent down and wept.
Jingye sat in place, listening to the sad cry in front of him, and trembling at the girl in front of him who was older than him. I didn't know what to do for a while. Huayan, from Xiao'er's mouth, he can only know so much.
After a long time, Xiao'er's crying gradually subsided, and Jingye said: "I want to be a smoke, I really love you, and treat you as my own sister." You're sad too, but you can't help her with that. ”
"What about you, what is your relationship with her, you look younger than me, I don't believe you are her lover!" Xiao'er raised her head violently, opened her eyes that were still dripping with tears, and asked Jingye rhetorically.
"I... It's not her lover, but without her, I'm afraid my life will be very lonely and sad. She's not my blood relative, but, I can't afford to lose her. Jingye got up and looked at the smile, shook his head slowly, and sighed slowly.
After listening to Jingye's words, Xiao'er still didn't understand what the relationship between them was, but she felt that they were very important to each other from Jingye's tone.
"Now that I know everything I know, what are you going to do when you come down?Find the murderer and help her get revenge?" Xiao'er also stood up and stared at the pure karma that was half a head taller than herself.
"The lord in your mouth, do you know if he is an official of the Tang Kingdom?" Jingye did not answer Xiao'er's words, because he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Xiao'er.
"I don't know, I've never seen that man, I just know that he's fat, he's big... By the way, he has a red dragon-shaped jade pendant around his waist. Xiao'er shook her head at first, and then suddenly clapped her hands and said.
"Red dragon-shaped jade pendant!" Jingye repeated. "Could it be the Dragon Martial Seal?" Jingye looked solemn and asked himself in his heart.
"Isn't there another person? what does he look like, do you see it?" Remembering that there was another person, Jingye asked.
"The other person, the other person was dressed in a sunspot and a hat, and he never took it off. I didn't see him, but he felt very cold from a distance, and he was holding a long knife, wrapped in cloth. When she heard this, she thought about everything she saw that night.
"A long knife wrapped in cloth? Night Scar!" Jingye listened to Xiao'er's description, thinking of Night Scar, who wanted to kill him last night, and he was also carrying a long knife wrapped in cloth. The weapons are close, the strength is there, and the power behind it will never be a coincidence!
Pure karma suddenly seemed to have found a door to the top of the mountain, he clenched his fists, and there was nowhere to vent his strength, he was very excited, but more angry.
"Little monk, are you okay?" Seeing the continuous change in Jingye's mood, Xiao'er said with some worry.
"Well, I'm fine. I'm really grateful to the girl for telling me so much today, and I'll take care of the rest. For your safety, don't remember these things in the future. I'll look into the matter of the cigarettes. Don't worry, I'll find the killer and avenge her. Jingye saluted respectfully to Xiao'er, and then said solemnly.
"Thank you so much. Actually, I wanted to find someone to open my heart and say these things for a long time, otherwise I felt very uncomfortable. Moreover, you saved my life last night, so I should repay you. Hmm, can you call me by my name in the future?" Xiao'er wiped away the tears on her face, turned her back and grabbed her other hand, and her heart beat a little faster as she spoke.
"The name... Are you smiling?" said Jingye in a somewhat stiff voice.
"Hmm... Hmm!" smiled and nodded.
"Are we friends, then?" asked Xiao'er again, but her cheeks were slightly red.
"Naturally. Girl... No, Xiao'er, if you have something difficult in the future, come to me, and I will do my best to help you. Jingye smiled gently and said in adaptation.
"Then I'm not welcome, I'll come to the Buddha viewing conference the day after tomorrow, you have to take me to visit. Hearing Jingye say this, Xiao'er was very happy in her heart, with the corners of her mouth like a crescent moon and her curved willow eyebrows.
"Definitely, then let's go, I'll send you down the mountain. "Since everything that needs to be said has been said, then pure karma can't stay here too much with laughter.
"Ah, my leg hurts, and I can't cultivate...... You carry me. As soon as Xiao'er heard that she was going down the mountain, she suddenly remembered the long and long mountain road, and her little face suddenly became bitter. However, after only a few seconds, Xiao'er suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, looked at Jingye and said.
"It's... Men and women do not kiss, Amitabha, sins and sins. Jingye was almost scared to death, and hurriedly folded his palms and recited.
"Who wants to give it to you, just let you carry me down the mountain, aren't we friends? Do you want to see me break my leg? Aren't you a monk? Shouldn't you help me? Really. Xiao'er looked at Jingye so afraid of a tiger, and she couldn't get angry.
"It's... All right. "Jingye didn't know how to speak, so he could only say in his heart, your mouth is so powerful.
In desperation, Jingye walked down the mountain with a smile on his back. For Jingye, Xiao'er is not heavy, and he feels that his back has a soft and warm feeling, and the most important thing is that Xiao'er directly lay his face on his shoulder halfway.
This section of the way down the mountain is really not easy to walk!
