The number of guests who visited was very large, and they were accompanied by a cadre of guards, and the young disciples of the temple were also busy, taking care of the reception of everyone.

Yuanxing is like a person from another world, only focusing on the fallen leaves on the ground, and there seems to be nothing else in his eyes.

Shanguo hurried back, holding the stick and following behind him as usual.

"This time it's the governor of the Governor's Mansion, who seems to be surnamed Bai." Suddenly, Shanguo turned his face away and muttered to the wall beside him.

Yuan Xing was slightly stunned, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, surnamed Bai? Isn't that the father of the second senior brother? Could it be that he came specifically to find the second senior brother?

Forget it, what does this have to do with yourself? He continued to sweep the floor with his head down.

Shanguo naturally didn't know the grievances and grievances of the elders before they became monks, and continued to take care of themselves: "There are a lot of people who have gone up the mountain this time, and I also saw Uncle Ning. ”

The third senior brother is also back? Yuan Xing paused, and the movement of the broom couldn't help but slow down, and he turned around and glanced at Shanguo.

Shanguo knew that he would be interested in this topic, so he didn't look at him, and said, "Uncle Ning also brought his family, and there is a little chubby dun who seems to be the child we watched born back then." He couldn't help but have excitement on his face, and said with some nostalgia: "Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that such a small person at that time would be so big now." It was his first time going down the mountain, and he had experienced a thrilling fight, and of course he remembered it vividly.

Time flies. What about fate? It's a pity that I was blind at the beginning and didn't see the appearance of the child.

I'd love to check it out. It's been a long time since I last met the third senior brother, and I don't know how he is now, is he still as depressed as he was back then? He sighed suddenly, stopped the broom in his hand, and looked towards the courtyard gate.

Sure enough, almost at the next moment, the voice of the third senior brother Ning Mu came closer: "I heard that you were punished as soon as you came back?" How do you ......" but the words of schadenfreude were only halfway said before they got stuck.

Ning Mu looked at Yuan Xing's hands and feet, his brows furrowed: "What kind of punishment is this?" Even the torture instruments were used. ”

Yuan Xing was also looking at him, at this time, Ning Mu was a little fatter than five years ago, his skin was a lot darker, and he also had a mustache on his lips, and the change was quite big.

Hearing him ask, just shaking his head, no squeak.

"Uncle Ning." Shanguo on the side hurriedly bowed and explained: "The ancestor punished the uncle for being silent, and it was inconvenient to speak. ”

Ning Mu, who has been a monk for many years, naturally knows the meaning of these two words, and when he heard this, his face changed, and he asked Shanguo: "What mistake did he make to be treated like this?" ”

"It seems that because of the incident in Liangzhou five years ago, it is not clear how the poor monk is." Shanguo just shook his head, he really didn't know what mistake his uncle had made, as for what medicine was sold in the gourd of his master, he guessed some, but at this time, in front of Yuanxing, he didn't dare to say that he had ruined the old monk's plan with 10,000 guts.

"Five years ago? What's wrong with karma? No, I'll ......" Ning Mu looked at the unlucky look on Yuan Xing's face, his brows furrowed even tighter, and after thinking about it, he was about to go to the master to intercede, but his steps were raised and stopped, he looked at the two people in front of him strangely, and asked: "Senior brother also knows the truth, doesn't he care?" ”

Yuan Xing couldn't make a sound, and Shanguo didn't know how to answer, Ning Mu's gaze scanned over them for a moment, and his previous nervous and angry expression actually relaxed, and he coughed: "I'll ask." With that, he walked out of the courtyard quickly.

The elder brother was also punished for being implicated, and I heard that it was a scripture copy. Yuan Xing thought in his heart, suddenly, he turned to Shanguo, this little monk is wrong, why is his master still indifferent when he is scolded and punished?

Before, because his mind was more confused, he only cared about self-pity, and didn't think in other directions at all, but now he has a flash of inspiration, and his thinking is alive, and the conversation between the two disciples a few days ago resurfaced in his mind, which is quite organized, but how can he coincidentally let himself listen to it correctly?

and remembered the three days of starvation when he was first punished. Hehe.

A smile appeared on his face, but then disappeared in an instant, and he lowered his eyelids and continued his cleaning.

I still take the third senior brother a little worse, and people will find out that something is wrong when they look at it, but I pity that I have always thought I am smart, but I have drilled the tip of the horns, and I have been depressed for nearly a morning, if it is not inspired by him, I am afraid that I am still in various entanglements at this time.

Alas! I wonder what Master's next move will be? It's a pity that if he sees it through, it is estimated that there will be no good effect.

However, as long as you know that Master is not trying to give up on herself, that's good enough.

--------------

The dining hall at noon is very lively, this may be the day when the monk comes to the world, and the day with the most living people in the Tianchan Temple. However, none of this had anything to do with him, so he could only sit alone in the remote courtyard, waiting for the little novice to bring him food.

The meal was sumptuous, and it was supposed to be the ingredients brought by the guests, and there was tofu in it that was difficult to eat in the temple. The fate of the heart is gone, and the line has eaten beautifully. After a while, he began to continue the work of sweeping the fallen leaves without waiting for the good fruit to arrive.

In the autumn afternoon, the sun is very good, the temple is quiet, and in such a quiet and warm environment, people seem to become lazy.

It seems that only children will not enjoy, to a strange environment, in the Buddhist hall can still listen to the instructions and teachings of adults, do not dare to say much, but to the courtyard square, no one looks, and unconsciously sprinkled joy.

The two children chased and frolicked in the courtyard, and before they knew it, they were close to the edge of the line.

He saw that the two little boys were about ten years old, and there was not much difference in the words, and they were all white and cute, thinking about Shanguo's words, he guessed that there was the son of the third senior brother, but unfortunately the eyebrows and eyes of the two children were quite familiar, and they really couldn't tell the difference, so they looked at it with a smile, shook their heads, and then lowered their heads and continued to work.

"What's wrong with you?" One of the fat boys stopped, looked curiously at his locked hands and feet, and asked.

"Little donor, this is a monk who is practicing in this temple, and it is inconvenient to talk to others." Shanguo hurried over and answered in place of Yuanxing.

Yuan Xing nodded at him, and with the sound of chains clashing, he carefully walked around the child and refocused his gaze on the fallen leaves on the ground.

"You lie, only prisoners wear chains, is he a prisoner of your monastery?" The little fat man pouted and said loudly.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shanguo's face, and he explained, "This is indeed the monk who made a mistake and is being punished. ”

"What did he do wrong?" At this time, another thin child suddenly asked.

"This ...... It is inconvenient to say. Shanguo shook his head.

"Can I talk to him?" The child asked, but when he spoke, his eyes always stayed on the fate of the laborer with his head bowed, and his eyes were extremely strange.

"No, he was punished and not allowed to talk to anyone." Shanguo continued to shake his head.

"What's his name?" The child looked up at him and continued to ask persistently.

Shanguo saw that the child was staring at him, his big eyes were sparkling and very cute, and he felt that there was no need to hide this question. He replied directly: "That's the Yuanxing Master of this temple." ”

"Master Yuanxing......" When the thin child got the answer, he didn't even speak, he stood in a daze, and even ignored the little fat man who was dragging him next to him, just looked at Yuanxing, whose robe was embroidered with patches and lowered his head to clean for a long time, and then suddenly ran a few steps and pounced: "Have you forgotten me?" ”

When the child came, Yuan Xing had already noticed it, but he was afraid that he would suddenly make a dodge action and cause him to fall and be injured, so he could only hold it with one hand, and then looked down at the little person in front of him with a puzzled face.

The child looked at him with a smile on his face, his face was clearly puzzled, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he burst into tears, and cried out sadly, "You really forgot me, Master......"

"Master?" Yuan Xing was even more puzzled, why didn't he remember that he had accepted such a small apprentice?

Wait, thinking of the apprentice, he suddenly shuddered and his eyes widened......
