"Master, what are you?"

"I will give you a hundred years of merit for my teacher."

"Master Xie." Although Li Zhuo didn't quite understand how powerful a hundred-year-old merit was, he knew that it must be extremely rare when he saw Xuanbao's face full of envy, so he hurriedly kowtowed.

"Go back, old prince Yuming, you come back tomorrow."

Li Zhuo asked in surprise: "Come again tomorrow?" ”

"Since you and I have the status of real master and apprentice, I should teach you one or two as teachers."

"Fifth uncle, Ming'er will come on time to learn the skills." There was a hint of schadenfreude in Xuanbao's tone.

Xuan Bao is most familiar with the old monk's tone of speech, and whenever the old Taoist master plans to abuse her in practice, it is such a tone, such an expression, and such words.

Li Zhuo was full of joy, the old monk also passed on his skills in the past, but he had never been so solemnly admonished, listening to the meaning of his words, Ming'er was going to pass on the skills to his disciples.

"Okay, you send Xuanbao back, and come back tomorrow." The old monk smiled at the two of them and closed his eyes.

Xuanbao was careful, her face was a little pale after seeing the old monk export merits, that was spending too much merit, did he really only give the fifth uncle a hundred years of merit?

The little doll had doubts in her heart, but seeing that the old monk was smiling and even had a smile on her eyebrows, she was obviously extremely happy in her heart, and she didn't talk much.

Li Zhuo and Xuanbao saluted the old monk together, and then the two slowly retreated.

The two of them walked slowly in the Tianlong Temple, the breeze was slow, the sound of bells and drums came from afar, and the sound of chanting Buddha could be faintly heard.

Li Zhuo stretched out his arm and took a deep breath: "At that time, I was eleven or twelve years old, which should have been the age of practicing literature and martial arts, but at that time, I was already a famous disciple in the capital. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhuo paused for a moment: "When I was eight years old, I overheard a conversation between my father and mother, and they didn't ask me to be motivated, and even worried that I was too motivated. ”

"Why?" Xuan Bao couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it good to be motivated?" ”

"My aunt is the queen mother, my father is the prince of Yongchang, my eldest brother and second brother are outstanding figures among the generals, my third brother is known as the 'God of Wealth', my fourth brother is a prodigy with outstanding literary talents, and later he is a fourteen-year-old champion."

"I know what the fifth uncle said, and several uncles are very powerful." Xuan Bao blinked his eyes wide, "But what does that have to do with whether you are motivated or not?"

"Everyone in the Li family is perfect, and my father and mother are scared, so from then on, I decided to be an imperfect person." Li Zhuo smiled slightly, "Do you know how much trouble I have caused to the Yongchang Royal Mansion in the past ten years?" ”

"I don't know how much, but my mother said that the Li family is behind you every day to clean up the mess for you."

"Yes, I have gone through all kinds of disasters, big and small, and the eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother have all been demoted because of me."

Xuan Bao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Drag the back of the palace, this is exactly what you want." ”

"Yes, because of my dragging, their brothers' official positions are hanging like this."

"I understand, my grandfather and grandmother acquiesced, several uncles connived, and the third uncle must have supported you financially." Xuan Bao looked up at Li Zhuo and suddenly turned red, "It turns out that the fifth uncle is also very hard. ”

Li Zhuo pinched Xuanbao's cheeks, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a wry smile: "That's what you say." ”

"No matter what it is, as long as you don't like it, you won't be happy anyway, it's very hard." Xuanbao has his own understanding.

"Yes." Li Zhuo nodded, "The whole capital envy me, I eat, drink, have fun and have fun every day, I can do whatever I want, but that's not what I want, it's not what I want." ”

Xuanbao couldn't bear to let Li Zhuo fall into painful memories and took the initiative to change the topic: "Well, how did the fifth uncle meet the old monk later?" ”

Li Zhuo finally smiled: "At that time, I couldn't figure out what I wanted, and I was having fun every day to help my pig friends and dogs." Enough of the fun in the city, it's natural to leave the city. ”

Xuan Bao listened quietly this time, and the fifth uncle touched the scene and wanted to tell the story of him and the old monk.

"Actually, it's nothing, I was riding a horse in a good field, and it happened that the old monk went down the mountain and threw out the people and horses." Li Zhuo also thought it was funny when he remembered it, "At that time, I was scared stupid, and I suspected that the old monk was not human. ”

"And then?"

"Later, I was detained by the old monk in the Tianlong Temple, I even offended the monks, and the whole capital knew that I was not a thing, and this incident later alarmed the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

"The old monk just detained you?" Xuanbao didn't believe it at all.

Li Zhuo laughed: "Naturally, not only did I detain me, but the old monk took me to do farm work every day, and wanted me to know that every grain is hard." ”

"What happened?"

"Later, it was the Queen Mother and the Emperor who came forward, and the old monk agreed to let me go. The imperial history of the court said that my father was negligent in disciplining me, as if he was punishing Yu Lu or demoting or something, in short, I discredited the Yongchang Palace, and since then I have become the 'first gentleman' in the capital. ”

Xuan Baohui smiled: "I didn't expect the fifth uncle to be blessed by misfortune and fall into the eyes of the old monk." ”

"During the period of being detained in Tianlong Temple, the old monk intentionally or unintentionally showed his skills in front of me, and when I heard that he asked me to come, I had nothing to do anyway, and since then I have come here every now and then." Li Zhuo said this and slowly exhaled, "Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”

"Fifth uncle, now that you have become the old monk's personal disciple, do you still need to hide it?" Xuan Bao asked curiously.

Li Zhuo shook his head: "I don't know, it depends on what your grandfather means, but I guess there is no need to publicize it for the time being." ”

"You became a disciple of the old monk, so didn't you waste your efforts back then, wasn't it on the emperor's cousin's side?"

"I don't know, but it's a different situation now than it was 10 years ago." Li Zhuo spit out the sullen smile in his chest, "No matter, it's a big deal that I will follow the master to become a monk, then it's okay." ”

"Fifth uncle, you don't look good with your shaved head." Xuan Bao shook his head again and again and took the lead in rushing forward, "Let's go, go back quickly, so as not to worry about my grandfather and grandmother." ”

Outside Tianlong Temple, Xia Yu and Dong Xue were guarding next to the carriage, and the two little maids looked around from time to time, looking at the county lord and the fifth uncle.

"Dongxue, why did the county lord come to this Tianlong Temple again?" Xia Yu asked in a low voice

"The county lord said that her old Taoist master has an old relationship with the monk."

Xia Yu exclaimed: "This friendship is not simple, the monk has not seen outsiders for a long time. ”

"Didn't you see our county lord last time." Dongxue said lightly.

"yes." Xia Yu couldn't help but be proud, "Our county lord is powerful." ”

"Come on, shut your mouth, and beware of the misfortune that comes out of your mouth." Dongxue muttered, "It's been in for a long time, why haven't you come out." ”

Xia Yu suddenly jumped up: "Come out, the county lord and the fifth uncle have come out." ”
