Chapter 249: Lay Disciple

Xu Sanlang didn't bother with Su Shi's poetry collection anymore, but said, "It's always no harm to be good friends with this person, so you can bear with it for the time being." ”

Cheng Xi pouted and responded, "It's nothing, this person is not annoying, but I'm worried that he always asks me about Su Shi's poems." ”

Xu Sanlang couldn't help but reach out and poke Chenxi's bulging cheeks, and comforted him, "Don't worry, you only tell him a few songs you remember, and he won't keep asking." ”

Cheng Xi thought about Wen Yuan's excited appearance before, and replied uncertainly, "I hope." ”

The road up the mountain is really as Xu Saburo said, but it is spacious, only steep and rugged, so the carriage is not fast, but it is swaying along the way, looking at the surrounding scenery, but it is not uncomfortable.

And Xu Sanlang remembered Cheng Xi's poem again, and when he was in this scene, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "No wonder Wenyuan is so excited, this poem is really wonderful." ”

The carriage arrived at Guiyuan Temple in the evening, Cheng Xi got off the carriage, looked at the stairs going up, the gate of Guiyuan Temple was magnificent, and couldn't help but praise, "This Guiyuan Temple is too magnificent." ”

Xu Saburo responded, "It is said that there was a merchant giant crocodile who became a monk here, and his descendants funded the rebuilding of this Guiyuan Temple in order to fulfill their filial piety, and it is said that it took several years of effort, so it has the appearance it is today." ”

Cheng Xi said, "It's so magnificent, it's still on the top of the Guiyuan Temple, and without that abundant capital and manpower, I'm afraid it's really difficult to do it." ”

At this time, a small novice came over from a nearby house, folded his hands and said to them, "Amitabha, all donors are polite, please park the carriage at this stable, the little monk will help take care of it, and a few of you will enter the temple to worship." ”

After Xu Sanlang folded his hands in return, he took out a string of Buddhist beads from his arms, handed it to the little monk and said, "Please pass on Master Guiyuan, and say that Zihao is here to disturb you." ”

The little monk was stunned for a moment before he spoke, "Donor, wait a minute." After speaking, he turned around and left and went to the house over there, as if he didn't know the Buddhist beads in Xu Saburo's hand.

Cheng Xi beckoned to Ah Wu first, "Let's drive the carriage over first." ”

Before the carriage arrived, an older monk greeted him, looked at Xu Sanlang and said excitedly, "Amitabha, it turned out that Uncle Jingyuan was here, and the little monk who just came didn't know him, please forgive Uncle Jingyuan, Uncle Jingyuan has the Buddha's beads of the ancestor, and it can be passed on directly to the superior, no need to pass it on." ”

Cheng Xi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes blinked at Xu Sanlang, and then at the middle-aged monk, he was sure that the middle-aged monk was talking to Xu Sanlang, why would only a middle-aged monk call him uncle? What's going on?

Xu Saburo clasped his hands together and replied, "Amitabha, please help take care of other mundane things." ”

While speaking, Xu Saburo glanced at the carriage meaningfully, and Ah Wu consciously went over to the carriage and took down the luggage that Xu Saburo had packed before.

Xu Sanlang only called Ah Wu to follow him up the mountain and enter the temple, and the other guards all sent themselves to ride their horses to the inn at the bottom of the mountain to wait for them, and when Wen Yuan saw it, he also sent his own little servants, leaving only one to follow him and go up the mountain with Xu Sanlang.

Cheng Xi was dragged by Xu Sanlang to climb half of the ladder, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet, how could Xu Sanlang become the monk's uncle, but Wen Yuan on the side opened his mouth to ask the question in his heart for Cheng Xi, "What is the relationship between Brother Xu and this Guiyuan master, why is the master below called Brother Xu Jingyuan?" ”

Xu Sanlang responded, "I'm ashamed to say that Xu doesn't know how to be virtuous, and he can get the favor of Master Guiyuan, and accept Xu as a closed disciple of a layman." ”

Cheng Xi on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted his chest and said, "Startle me, I thought you were a monk, thinking that if you become a monk, I won't have to go to the opposite mountain to be a nun." ”

Wen Yuan laughed out loud at Cheng Xide's words, and Xu Sanlang couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of a smile.

By the time a few people arrived at the door of Guiyuan Temple, Cheng Xi was already out of breath, standing at the door and grabbing Xu Sanlang's arm, pressing most of the weight of his body on Xu Sanlang's body.

Turning around and looking down at this row of stairs, Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's not easy to worship a Buddha.

After Xu Sanlang took the Buddha beads, he entered the Guiyuan Temple unimpeded, and then climbed a few more steps by someone, and finally stopped in front of a house.

The monk who led the way went in, and soon a gray-bearded master greeted him, and Xu Saburo gave a salute first, "Jingyuan has seen the master." ”

The monk folded his hands and said calmly, "Amitabha", and then walked over to Xu Sanlang's side, grabbed Xu Sanlang's hand excitedly, and said, "Jingyuan finally remembered to be a teacher, and he was willing to come back to take a look." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that there were several people behind Xu Sanlang, who were staring at him without blinking, and he realized that he seemed to be a little rude just now, and instantly regained his composure just now, and folded his hands together and asked, "Disciple, who are these donors?" ”

Xu Sanlang pulled Cheng Xi over and introduced, "This is what I told you, my wife Cheng Xi, this is the son of Wenyuan, presumably the master should have heard of it." ”

After Master Guiyuan greeted Shi Li, Cheng Xi Wenyuan and returned the salute, Master Guiyuan instructed the little monk on the side, "You take these donors to settle down where Jing Yuan lives first, and the old man and Jing Yuan still have something to say." ”

The little monk came over and said to Cheng Xi and the others, "A few donors, please." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang, and heard Xu Sanlang speak, "Xi'er will follow her over and settle down first, and her husband will come later." ”

Hearing Xu Sanlang say this, Cheng Xi did not hesitate any longer, followed the little monk, and went to the house on the other side.

Only when he got there, Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh, this place is really a fairyland on earth, it was already evening at this time, and the sky was gradually darkening, but the place where Cheng Xi was at this time was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off.

The structure of this house is very peculiar, it is a house to live in, but it seems to be a cliff outside, there are pavilions and several open-air tea houses and other buildings on the side, facing the position of the west, because the position is high, the distance has become a red sun, there is still half left, it has not had time to fall, all the buildings on this cliff are plated with a layer of red light, and the mist rises on the mountain in the distance, it is really like a fairyland.

Wen Yuan on the side, looking at this scenery, also couldn't take his eyes off, and muttered in his mouth, "It's really stained with Brother Xu's light to see such a beautiful scenery." ”

The sunset completely disappeared into the depths of the mountains in the distance, and the two of them were reluctant to look away and go to the house inside.

After a while, the monk sent vegetarian food for them again, which was unusually thoughtful, because Xu Sanlang had not come back yet, Cheng Xi and Wen Yuan had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the matter of eating, but walked around in this location, waiting for Xu Saburo to come back.

waited until the sky was completely dark, and then waited for Xu Saburo to come back, and when he saw the food on the table, Xu Saburo said very apologetically, "You can just eat it yourself, why are you still waiting for me?" I've eaten at the master's place, so you should hurry up and eat. ”

Cheng Xi heard that Xu Sanlang had actually eaten, because Cheng Xi, who was waiting for him to be hungry, glared at Xu Sanlang, then took the chopsticks and started eating.

This Wen Yuan looked at Cheng Xi's movements, was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and kept struggling in his heart for a long time before he found the right excuse for Cheng Xi's behavior, that is, a straightforward and "informal" strange woman, the reality beckoned Xu Saburo to use a little together, and after Xu Saburo refused, he also took chopsticks and started to eat.

Ah Wu just saw Wen Yuan's expression in his eyes on the side, so he couldn't help laughing, and was swept back by Xu Sanlang.

Xu Sanlang hadn't been here for a long time, so he said hello to Cheng Xi Wenyuan, and then went for a stroll, by the way, to see if the house they lived in needed to be cleaned up.

Xu Sanlang went to the residence and found that the house was clean and spotless, but the luggage was placed on the table in the room at random, I am afraid that Ah Wu threw it here, Xu Saburo also knew that this Ah Wu usually fights and kills is okay, let him pack some things, but it is difficult for him, so he has to pack the luggage of the two by himself.

After cleaning up, Xu Saburo went over to Cheng Xi's side, and when he saw that the two of them had finished eating, he went over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Except for three meals a day, someone will send them here, and you have to take care of everything yourself." ”

When Wen Yuan's little guy saw it, he also rushed over to clean up, but Cheng Xi didn't want to move, he was really uncomfortable when he went up the mountain today, and he climbed a lot of ladders in this temple before, and he really felt tired and panicked, and he couldn't lift up a little strength.

So Cheng Xi half-leaned there, watching Xu Sanlang clean up, Wen Yuan on the side was surprised again, he could find a straightforward and informal way to describe it before, at this time, Wen Yuan thought for a long time, and then he only thought of a slightly gentler word, lazy.

Next to this restaurant, a water tank was placed, Xu Saburo poured the rest of the food into a bowl, and the other bowls were taken to the side of the water tank, and the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned, and then the table was sent to the side and placed on the table.

After that, Xu Sanlang planned to talk to Wen Yuan, and when he saw Wen Yuan, he saw that Wen Yuan was staring at Cheng Xi with a look on his face, Xu Sanlang frowned slightly, and quietly blocked Wen Yuan's sight, before he spoke, "It's not too early, Wen Yuan's son should also go back to the house to rest early, there are buckets outside the house, and you can use those water to wash when the time comes." ”

Wen Yuan came back to his senses at this time, and opened his mouth to clench his fists and responded, "Trouble Brother Xu, then go back to the house to rest first, and then ask Mrs. Zun for advice tomorrow." ”

Cheng Xi lazily crooked there and said, "I don't dare to give advice, the little girl is poor, and she just recognized a few words by chance in her early years, but she can't afford to ask for advice." ”

Wen Yuan replied with a smile, "Mrs. Xu is modest, let's say goodbye first, goodbye." ”

Cheng Xi waved his hand and said weakly, "Goodbye." ”

Wen Yuan couldn't help but glance at Cheng Xi again, and then hurriedly turned his gaze away, and followed the little guy to his place of residence quickly.

After Wen Yuan left, Xu Sanlang turned around and said to Cheng Xi, who was still sitting on the cushion and leaning against the pillar behind him, "Get up, it's time to go back and rest." ”

Cheng Xi lazily stretched out his hands to Xu Sanlang, looking like he didn't plan to get up by himself at all, Xu Sanlang had no choice but to lean over and pick up Cheng Xi, and then went to the house where he lived and instructed Ah Wu, "There is no need to keep vigil here, you should rest early." ”

Ah Wu responded, and quickly turned around and left, really watching the master hugging his wife like this, he felt that he should not continue to see such a scene.
