Chapter 23 Cutting Hair for Nun
Three undriven carriages stopped steadily in front of the gate of Hualing'an, Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er got down from the carriage, but found that the gate of Hualing'an was closed. Bao Rong'er stepped forward to call the door, and a nun came out to answer the door, and after listening to Bao Rong'er tell Xiao Lingxiao's identity, the nun was very panicked and hurriedly went in to return. Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er stood at the door like this, waiting for about a stick of incense, and then the gate of Hualing Nunnery slowly opened.
More than a dozen nuns in long gray cloth robes walked out surrounded by an old nun. Although the old nun is old, her skin is delicate, there are not many folds on her face, and her complexion is very good. It's just that when she walked out with a calm face and looked at Xiao Lingxiao, her eyes revealed cold hostility.
Xiao Lingxiao looked at the old nun, and then looked at the little nuns behind her. The eldest of the little nuns doesn't seem to be more than twenty years old, and all their faces have been carefully retouched, without heavy makeup, Xiao Lingxiao can see that these people are all in the style of "daily light makeup". And these women's eyes did not dodge in the slightest, but with a penetrating charm, Xiao Lingxiao smiled secretly in her heart, it seems that the old lady and Xiao Shuyong really sent themselves to an interesting place.
When Xiao Lingxiao looked at these nuns, the nuns were also looking at her. The old nun saw that there were only two people and three carriages, and asked in a cold voice, "Miss Xiao, what about the others?" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Lingxiao to speak, Bao Rong'er glared and said, "Everyone else is dead!" ”
The old nun was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Xiao Lingxiao.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently and nodded, "We met bandits on the road, and the guards and coachmen of the Prime Minister's Mansion desperately protected me, so we fled here." There are so many bandits that they probably won't survive. ”
After hearing Xiao Lingxiao's words, the old nun immediately scolded in her heart, you fool a ghost!
How can any bandit not hijack cars and horses, but fight to the death to kill the guards? How did you two women get to the three carriages? The Xiao family has already heard that the eldest lady will be dealt with on the road, and it is clear that those people were killed instead of committing murder!
The old nun looked at Xiao Lingxiao coldly, knowing that this woman must not be simple. The Xiao family threw a piece of hot potato over.
Thinking of this, the old nun snorted coldly and glanced at Xiao Lingxiao, "The Prime Minister's Mansion has already sent someone to tell the poor nun about you, come in." ”
The three carriages were taken by the little nun to the backyard, and Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er followed the old nun into Hualing Nunnery.
This Hualing Nunnery looks a little dilapidated on the outside, but it can be said that there is a hole in the sky. Enter the main courtyard, the wide courtyard paved with bluestone slabs is cleaned clean, after stepping on the three steps is the main hall, there are several vermilion lacquer columns erected in front of the main hall that one person can not hold, and the sixteen carved wooden doors are all open.
In the main hall, directly opposite is the majestic Buddha statue, under which there is an incense table, and on the ground is a yellow futon for kneeling.
The old nun brought Xiao Lingxiao to the futon and ordered in a cold voice, "Kneel." ”
Xiao Lingxiao glanced up at the Buddha statue, folded her hands, eliminated distracting thoughts, and bowed. Then he put down his hands and opened his eyes, smiled and said to the old nun, "I have only come here for a temporary stay, not to worship the Buddha." You can arrange a place for me to live, and I don't have to worry about anything else. ”
The old nun has been the abbot of this Hualing Nunnery for many years, not to mention the little nun in the nunnery, and even the people from outside have never been so disdainful of her. Anger rose in the old nun's heart, her eyebrows tightened, and she said in a deep voice, "I don't care what the eldest lady of the Xiao family or the sweetheart of the fourth prince is, when you arrive at Hualing Nunnery, you must abide by the rules here!" Today you will not only have to kneel, but you will also have to cut your hair as a nun! After that, the old nun said to the little nun beside her, "Go! Help her get on her knees! ”
Seven or eight little nuns heard the old nun's order and immediately rushed over.
Xiao Lingxiao shook her head disdainfully, hugged her shoulders and said to Bao Rong'er, "Clean them up!" ”
Bao Rong'er moved when she heard the sound, stepped forward with a smile, and waved her arms, only to hear a crackling sound, and seven or eight little nuns all had a bright red handprint on their faces.
The little nuns felt the burning pain in their cheeks, and they were all so frightened that they cried and ran back behind the old nun. The old nun was taken aback when she saw this, stretched out her hand to point at Xiao Lingxiao, and said angrily, "You...... You dare to desecrate the holy place of Buddhism! You dare to beat someone in front of the Bodhisattva! ”
Xiao Lingxiao sneered when she heard this, "If someone else raises his hand to hit me, I must make a move before him, this is my principle of Xiao Lingxiao's life." Old nun, I advise you not to come to me for trouble, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. ”
The old nun never thought that the teenage girl opposite would dare to argue with herself less than a cup of tea when she entered the door, did she really think that she had much ability? It's just a little girl who knows martial arts!
"Let you cut your hair as a nun, it is the intention of the old lady of the Xiao family and the prime minister, if you don't comply, I have the right to deal with you according to the rules of the nunnery." The old nun's voice was cold, and there was a sinister smile on her face that did not match her identity at all. After saying this, she waved her hand, and a little nun beside her understood, and left in a hurry.
Xiao Lingxiao knew that this old nun still had a trick, she smiled and stretched her muscles, shook her hands and feet, and did movements that made those nuns very incomprehensible. It didn't take long for more than two dozen nuns to rush in, all with sticks the thickness of their arms.
These two dozen nuns were completely different from those just now, they were a little older, thick and burly, and they all had fierce eyes, and it seemed that it was not the first time that they had been called out to clean up.
The old nun retreated behind them, sneered, and ordered, "The new lady of the Xiao family and the maid beside her don't understand the rules in this nunnery, you should teach her well." After speaking, she shouted fiercely, "Go! ”
At this time, Xiao Lingxiao also said to the divine wolf in a dark voice in her heart, "Look at their arrogance, if you don't give them some color, these guys are going to open a dye room!" After saying this, the nun on the opposite side also rushed forward with a stick. Bao Rong'er had already blocked the enemy behind Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao's body was full of the power of the divine wolf, she stepped up and dodged, like a ghost, reached out and held the stick in the nun's hand, and slapped the nun on the shoulder with one palm. Hearing a crisp click, the nun's arm suddenly bent into an incredible angle, followed by an earth-shattering scream.
Xiao Lingxiao snatched the wooden stick in her hand and skillfully waved it in the crowd. The rod seemed to come alive in her hand, and the wind slapped down on the nuns. Xiao Lingxiao showed no mercy at all, and the nuns who were hit by the wooden stick all screamed and fell to the ground, although they didn't die, they couldn't get up.
Within a while, Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er knocked down more than 20 female nuns, and after finding that no one came over, Xiao Lingxiao's face showed a look of not having enough, and pointed at the old nun who had retreated to the corner with a stick, and said sharply, "They don't teach any rules, you come!" ”
The old nun had already been frightened to the point that her face turned pale, and when Xiao Lingxiao pointed at her with a stick, her whole body trembled, and the few little nuns hiding beside her were so frightened that they didn't even dare to wipe their tears.
Xiao Lingxiao saw that these people had been frightened by herself, and once again showed a harmless smile from humans and animals. She stepped forward slowly, shook the stick and asked the old nun in a cold voice, "How is it?" Do I still need to learn the rules? ”
The old nun subconsciously shook her head vigorously and bit her lip fiercely.
Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly, "Today is a meeting gift, from today onwards, Xiao Lingxiao will be here to beg for mercy." Mrs. Shi, let's get along. ”
After that, Xiao Lingxiao threw down the stick in her hand and strode out of the main hall with Bao Rong'er.
Bao Rong'er looked at Xiao Lingxiao with a sparkle in her eyes, "Hahaha, the master is really amazing!" Now the nuns won't come to us to trouble, and we can do whatever we want in the future! Leaving that bullshit prime minister's mansion is really a good thing! ”
Xiao Lingxiao smiled bitterly and shook her head, "How can it be that simple." ”
There are so many well-dressed little nuns in Hualing Nunnery, and there are so many female nuns who are specially used for fighting, if you want to say that this is an ordinary nunnery, no one will believe it. It seems that this nunnery is a place of cultivation on the surface, but in fact, most of them are dark kilns raised by powerful people, and there must be someone behind such a place, no wonder Bao Rong'er will say that Xuan let the old nuns here divide them.
With the cultivation of the thousand-year-old wolf demon, he will not let others because of how powerful the other party is. This old nun is actually an old bustard, and this Hualing Nunnery is a nest of prostitution, and Xuan does not let the wolf clan come nearby, it must be because he dislikes that this place is too dirty.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help frowning. She didn't expect Hualing'an to be such a place, and she didn't know how many powerful people knew about things here. If she does stay here, I'm afraid that her reputation will be damaged when she returns, which is really a headache. And the old nun will definitely not let herself be so arrogant here, I am afraid that there are more things to watch out for here than in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiao Lingxiao let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky, the sun was already in the west. Although she thought of a solution, she didn't know if it would succeed.
"Bao Rong'er." Xiao Lingxiao stopped, took Bao Rong'er's hand, and said in a low voice, "I have something for you to do." She whispered in Bao Rong'er's ear to finish speaking, and Bao Rong'er immediately showed a face full of doubts.
"The host...... What are you going to do......"
Xiao Lingxiao patted her on the shoulder, "Go and unload the horses on the cart and ride away, you have to go back before closing the city gate, and you can't use witchcraft." ”
Although Bao Rong'er didn't understand Xiao Lingxiao's intentions, she didn't ask anymore and hurried away.
Xiao Lingxiao was left wandering around the Hualing Nunnery alone, and she didn't go far before she was stopped by the little nun. The little nun respectfully told Xiao Lingxiao that she had arranged a room for her, and took her to a guest room in the backyard.
The guest room is very elegant, the layout is also very simple, and Xiao Lingxiao asked the little nun to bring the meal. The four plates of food were quickly delivered, and by this time the sun had set, and the candles had already been lit in the house.
