Chapter 880: Caotang Huairen
As they spoke, the group came to the cliff.
From time to time, there are pine trees stretching into the air between the cliffs, and there are small waterfalls falling, splashing a lot of water droplets.
In front of the cliff is a large mountain lawn, the terrain is quite flat, stretching out far away, and you can't see the edge, as if it is a wilderness.
There are green trees everywhere in the lawn, and further down, you can see a lot of flowers and trees, and behind the flowers and trees are countless buildings, with black eaves and white walls hidden in the woods, which is quite beautiful.
Looking at the legendary Nanxi Zhai, Hu Thirty-two felt that it was very different from the palace and was amazed, but Tang Thirty-six remembered the ancestral hall in Wenshui City, and the Jiming Mountain outside the city, and was silent.
Passing through the green trees and flower trees, stepping on the slightly wet bluestone, going around and around, I came to the front of Nanxi Zhai.
The group crossed the Ming Hall, passed through several small gardens, and passed through many scripture pavilions, and came to the deepest part, and saw a thatched hall in front of them.
There are many stone monuments erected around the thatched hall, and there are occasional moss on the steles, but they cannot cover the clear and profound lines on them.
Tang Thirty-six and Hu Thirty-two have entered the Tianshu Mausoleum to observe the stele and realize the Tao, and they recognized it at a glance, these steles should be imitations of the Tianshu Stele.
It is not a simple and rough imitation, the stone tablet has its own vicissitudes of life, and it blends together with the grass hall, which is awe-inspiring.
No matter how frivolous Tang Thirty-six's temperament was, when he came to this kind of place, he became a lot quieter, and he was a little worried that something would happen to the folded sleeves hidden in the shadows.
There are three futons resting in the thatched hall, and there is a sky light shining from the glass on the roof, and the light is not dim, and you can see it clearly.
The black-clothed Taoist girl she met at the mountain gate before was sitting on the futon on the left hand side, her expression was still indifferent, and she looked at Tang Thirty-six who walked into the grass hall, with a touch of anger in her eyes.
A purple-clothed Taoist girl sat on the futon on her right hand, her eyebrows were straight and thick, her eyes were extremely tough, and she looked like a violent temperament.
The Taoist girl sitting on the futon in the middle was wearing a white fasting dress, her expression was calm and gentle, and her eyes were like autumn water, which made people feel close to her.
However, Tang Thirty-six looked at this white-clothed Daoist aunt and became vigilant, guessing that she was the owner of the previous voice.
Not because the color of her sacrificial dress is the most noble white of the Virgin Peak, but because of her person herself.
Ye Xiaolian whispered a few words beside him, saluted the three Dao Aunts, and retreated to the rear.
Tang Thirty-six knew that the purple-clothed Daoist aunt was Huai Shu, and the white-clothed Daoist aunt was Huairen.
Huairen said with a gentle expression: "Tang Gongzi and the bishop of the household, please sit down." ”
Tang Thirty-six and Hu Thirty-two sat on the futon of the guest seat according to their words.
Huairen looked at Tang Thirty-six and said, "I don't know if the old lady is okay?"
Tang Thirty-six said: "It's okay, I'm not dead, but since I can live, he naturally won't be happy." ”
The entire continent knew what was happening in Wenshui City, but they didn't expect him to provoke it like this, and he was so disrespectful to Old Lady Tang in his words.
Huaibi sneered when he heard this, but Huai Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously displeased with his words.
"Tang Gongzi is right, as long as he is alive, it is the best. Huairen looked at Tang Thirty-six and said with a smile.
Tang Thirty-six understood what this Nanxizhai elder meant.
As long as Old Lady Tang is still alive, the Tang family is the Old Lady's Tang family, and his previous threat to Nanxi Zhai at the mountain gate will naturally not be implemented.
"Yes, it's really best to be alive, like my second uncle will definitely not feel good, because he died. ”
Tang Thirty-six said seriously: "This is really a thing to be happy about. ”
Whose uncle or elder would be happy when he died?
Even if everyone in the world knows the problem between the second master of the Tang family and him, he shouldn't say it like this, right?
Huai Shu's straight eyebrows are getting higher and higher, the anger on her face is getting stronger and stronger, she has a violent temperament, jealousy and hatred, and she can't see those who don't know how to respect and ignore the elders and children.
Huairen was still very calm, but there was a little more indescribable meaning in his eyes when he looked at Tang Thirty-six.
She also knew what Tang Thirty-six meant.
In the previous sentence, she wanted to tell Tang Thirty-six that he couldn't threaten Nanxi Zhai with him. Tang Thirty-six's words told her that the second master of the Tang family was dead, and he had won the war of inheritance of the Tang family, and now the Tang family is indeed still the old lady Tang's, but it will be his after all.
A large part of Nanxi Zhai's annual opening money is donated by the Tang family.
This is not the key, the most important thing is that Nanxi Zhai and countless affiliated sects, as well as those field businesses, are closely related to the Tang family's business to a large extent.
Many sectarian mountain gates do this, not doing business with the Tang family, but also with the Qiushan family, the Wu family, and the Mu Zhe family.
Monasticism was originally a big business.
With Nanxi Zhai's status in the monastic world, when they chose a partner back then, they would of course choose the Tang family with the best reputation and the longest history.
Who would have thought that after countless years, the heirs of the Tang family would threaten Nanxi Zhai with their cooperation?
Huairen didn't say anything to Tang Thirty-six about this issue, and instead asked, "What about Tang Gongzi's companion?"
This question is naturally a folded sleeve, indicating that Nanxi Zhai has always known about his existence, and maybe there are still people staring at him now.
Tang Thirty-six was very thick-skinned, and said calmly, "What did you say?"
Huairen smiled slightly, disappreciated, looked at Hu Thirty-two and said, "I don't know where the Pope is now? ”
This is said very tactfully and politely, but the organization of the sentences is not very good, and some of them are ridiculous.
But her meaning is clear enough - although they are all state religions, and His Majesty the Pope's status is even more honorable, it is still inappropriate to come in directly without passing through the communication.
Although Hu Thirty-two was also thick-skinned, he knew that he couldn't mess around at this time, so he pointed to a certain direction outside the grass hall and said, "Your Majesty should have gone to the peak." ”
Behind that cliff was shrouded in mist, and there was a peak hidden in it, which was the Saintess Peak.
Hearing this, the Daoist aunt sitting on the futon on both sides suddenly changed color, especially the Daoist aunt who was wearing purple clothes, and shouted angrily: "How can this be true! The holy woman is in retreat, and at a critical moment, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb her, otherwise if she goes mad, who will bear this responsibility! Pope, what does he want to do!"
Tang Thirty-six said: "I heard that there has been a change in Nanxi Zhai, His Majesty the Pope is worried about the safety of the Holy Maiden, and he has traveled thousands of miles without sleep, food or sleep to visit, what's wrong?"
Huaibi sneered and said: "What can happen to me in Nanxi Zhai? The safety of the saint is naturally supported by us, where do outsiders need to worry." ”
Tang Thirty-six asked, "I heard that Xiao Zhang once came to the Holy Maiden Peak a few days ago?"
Huairen raised his hand to signal his junior sister not to say any more, and said calmly: "Not bad." ”
Tang Thirty-six stared into his eyes and said, "Why didn't he enter the mountain gate in the end?"
Three years ago, on the bank of the Fengxueluo River in Kyoto, Xiao Zhang shot in the river and saved the seriously injured Wang Po.
From that moment on, whether Xiao Zhang wanted to or not, the entire continent regarded him as a powerful arm of the state religion and Chen Changsheng.
There is a reason why the imperial court hunted him down for three years.
When he was exhausted, he came to the Holy Maiden Peak for refuge, but was expelled from the mountain.
Could it be that the Holy Maiden Peak no longer sees itself as an ally of the palace?
