The three of us followed the maid around, and gradually turned to the front. I saw mountains and rivers over there, just like in a painting.

The maid took us around a rockery. I saw a lot of pavilions in front of me, like a fairyland. On top of this pavilion, there are many small lanterns. There are quite a few little ghosts who are busy arranging over there. It seems that they are indeed preparing for the birthday of that old man.

Mr. Lu asked, "When is your old man's birthday?" ”

The maid said, "In three days." ”

Mr. Lu nodded, and then asked, "Three days later...... Can we come and pay homage to the old man on his birthday? ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Mr. Lu to ask such a question. She thought for a while and said, "It's too late to report tonight, and when I wait until tomorrow, I will sue my master." If my master agrees, I will personally send someone to pick you up. ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Okay." That couldn't be better. Just in time for that. We can meet your host. ”

I asked Mr. Lu, "Birthday greetings are meant to be gifts, you don't want to come empty-handed, do you?" ”

Mr. Lu scratched his head and said, "Do you still want to give gifts?" That's all the rules in the world, we are monks, and we don't like this. ”

I thought to myself: Mr. Lu obviously can't send anything, and he has to quibble, which is really embarrassing.

I turned my head, and sure enough, I saw that the maid was snickering.

Mr. Lu asked, "Does your master know who the three of us are?" ”

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Mr. Lu said: "This is strange. He didn't know where we came from, so how could he be so relieved. Let's hang out here? ”

The maid smiled and said, "The master said that although I didn't see the three of you, you have heard that your words and deeds have been reported, and it seems that you are ...... It doesn't seem to be capable of anything. Thinking that you are a person in the Daomen, sell you a face, and make a friend. ”

Mr. Lu's face was full of embarrassment. said: "Your master is really ...... What a hospitality. Ha ha. ”

His last two laughs were embarrassing. Xue Qian and I don't care that others say that we are lowly in skills, but Mr. Lu is different. He was blowing nonsense in front of us all day long, and now he was actually commented by a maid that "has no ability", which is really embarrassing.

Although Mr. Lu was very unhappy in his heart, he couldn't have a seizure. I can only look around to hide my predicament.

At this time, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter in the hall in front of me.

Mr. Lu really took this opportunity to change the topic. "What is that place?" ”

The maid said a little nervously, "Let's go, don't go over there." That's where the old man stays. ”

Mr. Lu said: "What can we do? Then he strode past the rooms.

The maid seemed to be in a hurry, and she wanted to pull Mr. Lu back. But Mr. Lu had already walked very close to the house. The maid seemed to be afraid that the movement would be loud and alarm the people inside. I could only follow with a panicked face.

Mr. Lu leaned on the side of the door and glanced inside. Suddenly, his body froze.

We followed Mr. Lu and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mr. Lu turned around, glanced at us, and whispered, "Hurry up." Don't be discovered, we can't afford to mess with the people inside. ”

When I saw Mr. Lu's expression, I was also frightened, and the three of us supported each other and hurriedly hid in the shadows.

However, I had barely taken two steps before I felt as if something was wrapped around me.

I reached out and touched it, it was hair.

I was startled and reached for the big knife behind my back. However, I touched a soft and greasy thing, which was the palm of a person's hand. It's just that this palm is cold and has no temperature.

I took a sharp step forward, and when I looked back. I noticed that Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were both standing there with strange expressions. Behind the two of them, each stood a beautiful woman in red. Both beauties have their hands on their shoulders. And the eyes were staring straight at me.

I thought to myself: these two people clearly have bad intentions. I took off the broadsword and planned to defend myself.

However, the maid whispered beside me, "Carry the knife back." Don't resist. If you get stiff, you won't be able to leave. ”

I obediently put the knife on my back. At this time, an old voice came from inside the room: "I heard that three young talents are here today?" Bring it on and let me see. ”

The two beauties in red patted Mr. Lu and Xue Qian's shoulders, and the two of them smiled helplessly at me and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them walked in. And I went in.

I saw the hall brightly lit. There are a few beautiful women pouring wine and serving food back and forth, and they are walking inside.

Facing the gate was a low couch on which sat an old man with a white beard. This old man was wearing a Taoist robe, and his face was immortal. I glanced at him and couldn't help but feel respect. I thought: There is a Taoist here? That's great, it's a family with us.

Lao Dao sat facing the hall door. And inside the hall, the left and right sides were full of people. The eldest of these people is only seven or eight years old, and the youngest is only four or five years old. They all looked at a monkey in the middle of the hall and laughed.

I thought to myself: the old ones are old here, and the little ones are small. It's interesting. Just now, Mr. Lu said that the people inside couldn't be provoked, and I don't know if he was referring to this old man or this child.

As soon as the three of us walked in, the children cried out, "There's a new monkey to see." We're going to watch a monkey show. ”

Lao Dao smiled and said, "Take three skins and put them on." We're going to watch the monkeys wrestle today and let the kids have fun. ”

A beautiful woman said yes, turned around and left.

At this time, the maid who brought us here hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Old man." ”

Lao Dao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I thought to myself: It turns out that this old man is the old man here. It is estimated that he is either the father of the owner here, or the grandfather.

The maid knelt down and said respectfully, "They are guests invited by the master. ”

Lao Dao looked unhappy and said, "Are they guests? How can there be a guest standing at the door, sneaking a peek? Isn't it too rude? ”

The maid didn't seem to dare to reply, but just knelt on the ground and didn't move.

Lao Dao waved his hand boredly: "Okay, I know." You go back first. ”

Then he looked at us and said, "Since you are guests, I must save some face for you, and sit down honestly." Don't you just want to watch a monkey show? Why stand in the doorway and peek? You tell me, how good is it to come in and be generous? ”

As he spoke, a beautiful woman ushered us to the next seat.

Mr. Lu looked solemn and glanced at us, not rash. We sat down obediently.

The green-clothed maid glanced at us, her face was full of helplessness, and then she withdrew, and I saw that she was always standing at the door, and did not leave, probably waiting for us.

Since entering this house, I have been constrained everywhere, and I feel a little aggrieved. And Mr. Lu seems to be afraid of someone, and his usual arrogance is gone.

After a while, the old way seemed to have forgotten about us. Started watching the monkeys with those kids. Empty House:.

I saw the monkey standing in the center, grinning incessantly, catching the fruit thrown by the child, and eating it like a man. The demeanor is indeed funny.

The children laughed for a while, as if they were feeling a little bored. At this time, the old man walked slowly and walked in front of the monkey. Then, with a stretch of his hand, he pulled his head off. Just like that, he lifted his head and stood in front of the monkey.

The monkey seemed to be greatly frightened, screamed, and ran outside. And Lao Dao threw his head violently and floated at the door, blocking the monkey's way.

The children laughed when they saw the monkey with a frightened look and tried to run away but couldn't escape.

Then I saw that Lao Dao's mouth grew bigger and bigger, as if he wanted to swallow the monkey. The monkey suddenly knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic. Lao Dao seemed to be very satisfied, and put his head back.

The children said, "Tomorrow we must find two more monkeys and watch the monkeys wrestle." ”

At this time, the bell rang outside. Lao Dao stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "It's been a night of trouble, let's all disperse." He pointed to the trembling monkey who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Today's monkey is not bad." Give him more money. ”
