Guo Zixing raised his head and met the old man's eyes, and suddenly involuntarily shrank for a while, no matter how good the treasure is, where is it more important than life?

The old man looked at the Taishou who didn't look at the other side, and smiled: "You kid is dumb, didn't you just be quite horizontal?"

"I didn't expect Jingyue Guan to have such a master, but today I was reckless," Guo Zixing calmed down, the old man's power naturally frightened him a little, but at this moment, thinking back on his identity, he couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

The old man pursed his lips and said, "Say a few beautiful words and want to slap your ass and leave?"

Guo Zixing had a plan in his heart, and immediately replied: "What does this senior want, I am the Taishou of Yuzhou City, and what I do today is also for the sake of the people. ”

"Nonsense, I just want to beat you, what can you do?" the old man sneered, and as he said this, he flew straight towards the man on the other side who was still trying to argue with reason.

Guo Zixing's expression changed greatly, and before he could react, he was slapped directly to the ground by the old man who flew closer.

"Don't say that you are a Taishou, you are the prince, and I will do the same. The old man seemed particularly puzzled, and as he spoke, he went up and kicked again.

Guo Zixing screamed, for a while he only felt that the whole world was dim, and even with the sound of buzzing in his ears, the whole person only lasted for the first time, and he had already fainted in the next second.

The engagement on one side is already stupid there, when have civil officials like them suffered like this. He had learned the power of the old man, and when he saw that Lord Taishou directly closed his eyes and did not react, he was so frightened that his whole face was like earth, and he shrank uncontrollably.

"I really can't bear the slightest beating," the old man was particularly unhappy, and shifted his gaze to the side of the business, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Engaged hurriedly hugged his head: "This senior, who is only a subordinate official in the lower ranks, is really involuntarily." ”

The old man glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense, stand still." ”

Engaged in hurriedly subconsciously obeyed the order.

"That's right, stand up and give me a beating. The old man nodded with satisfaction, this time he deliberately controlled his strength, and the attack was a violent storm.

He wailed in pain, and even more painfully, he found that the old man seemed to deliberately keep the amplitude of the pain within a boundary, so that he could not faint even if he wanted to.

It wasn't until the end that the old man seemed to have almost vented, and then he directly knocked him to the ground with a slap. The short-bearded, thief-eyed man rolled his eyes and fainted completely.

The old man pursed his lips and shook his hand: "You have to hold back your strength to beat people, it's really fucking tired." ”

At the foot of the steps, hundreds of soldiers had just stood up again at this time, but they were all silently looking at the old man in the short shirt opposite, and none of them dared to move forward.

The old man didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore, looked back at the little Taoist boys behind him who had been staring at him closely, and raised his neck proudly: "I'm not powerful!"

"Awesome!" several little dao boys clapped their hands excitedly.

The old man turned his head with a smile and looked at the Guan Master who had just wiped away his tears: "I said that you people are all cultivators, are you stupid, just put up with them bullying us at our door?"

The Guan Master nodded: "The seniors have to teach the lesson." ”

"Forget it, you must also have your troubles, I am a person who speaks and does things but by heart, don't be surprised. The old man looked at him and sighed slightly.

"Thank you for your understanding. "The Lord bowed down and bowed again.

"Alright, why is it necessary to be so polite. The old man helplessly supported him and smiled slightly, "The old man is hungry, even if you salute a hundred times, it is not as good as a meal." ”

The viewer was suddenly unconscious, and hurriedly said: "The dining room should be almost ready, senior, please." ”

The old man glanced back at the soldiers behind him, and the people who felt his gaze all lowered their heads one by one, and the fainting Taishou and Zhi were already carried on their backs by several soldiers.

"What do you see, let's go. The old man smiled and waved his hand.

One of the captains who led the team looked at the two adults who had fainted and sighed: "Thank you seniors for raising your noble hand, let's go." ”

The old man nodded, watched the crowd at the foot of the stairs turn their heads, and followed the captain all the way down the mountain.

The crowd that had been hiding on the side to watch the show had the courage to come out and point at the old man at this moment, as if they were surprised who this unattractive old man was, so that a big force like the official had to bow his head.

Because the army hid in the corner of Jingyueguan and did not dare to come out, they came out quietly, lit the incense in their hands that had not been put down, and inserted it into the furnace tremblingly, thanking the Bodhisattva for his blessing.

The old man didn't care at all, he seemed to be in a much better mood at the moment, and stretched out his hand to pull up the viewer who was still standing respectfully on the side: "Let's go, let's eat." ”

The sudden waves of Jingyue Guan, in the old man's laughter, quietly dissipated.

The old man walked all the way, looking at the various displays and furnishings in the Jingyue Temple all the way, and when he got to the rising place, he would occasionally ask a few questions, and the viewer on one side followed him half a step slowly, all answering one by one.

Walking to the apse, there is a huge courtyard, where the pilgrims are gone, and it is not open to the public.

In the courtyard, it is still verdant, although it is late autumn, you can still see the lush greenery, like spring.

The old man walked into the courtyard and saw the bronze statue in the courtyard at a glance, and the whole person was stunned there.

Knowing the reason, the viewer waved his hand, and let the group of people who followed him go to the dining room first, and he still stood quietly behind the old man.

The old man looked at the statue, approached step by step, looked at the face that had never changed in his memory for more than thirty years, and slowly stretched out his trembling hands.

"Jing'er ......"

The woman in front of her, dressed in a simple robe, with a pure-colored belt tied around her waist, simple but elegant, with her head full of green silk hanging down, inserting a jasper silver hairpin, her eyes are attentive, as if she is looking ahead, smiling faintly.

The old man reached out and lightly touched the body of the bronze statue, and stood quietly.

"Senior?" Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, the viewer on the side couldn't help but ask.

"You go first. The old man said lightly.

"Yes. The viewer hesitated for a moment, but still lightened his pace and left silently.

The old man looked at the woman in front of him with stupid eyes and muttered softly, "You are still so beautiful." ”

The autumn wind blew, the leaves moved slightly, the old man's beard fluttered in the wind, and even with thousands of thoughts, it seemed to fly to the sky.

In the side room of Jingyue Temple, Chen Mingye was being pulled by the enthusiastic Meng Shi to prepare to go to the dining hall to eat together.

The maid on one side had already come back to report, and the little girl in Chen Ming's night talk was not found in the wing room next door.

Meng Shi turned his head to look at Chen Mingye, with a faint worry in his expression: "It's nothing, right?"

Chen Mingye scratched his head, if Xiaohong didn't want to be discovered by the maid, she naturally had ten thousand ways. He couldn't say it clearly, so he had to say to Meng Shi: "Why don't you let me go out and have a look first, madam." ”

Meng Shi smiled and glanced at him carefully: "It seems that there is no hurry, it's okay, I'll go with you." ”

Chen Mingye was helpless, so he had to nod: "Madame, please." ”

"Come, help me up. Meng Shi looked at him with a smile, and a faint look flashed in his eyes.

This Aunt Meng, Chen Mingye sighed, and hurriedly reached out to help her up, only to find that her arms were so thin that only bones remained.

"Madam, why have you lost weight like this......" he asked in a moment's anxiety.

Meng Shi smeared some fat powder on the surface, and the decoration was still unclear, but Chen Mingye touched it with his own hands, and then found that she was already too thin to be able to do it.

"It's not in the way, I've been sick for many years, and I can't eat, so I naturally can't raise it. Meng Shi waved his hand at him, stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and his face was relieved, "Today, I am very happy, I think I can eat more." ”

Chen Mingye was silent for a while, only to feel that Meng's palms were slightly cold, and he supported her all the way. The maid next to her wanted to come up to help, but Meng Shi refused. The maid was helpless, so she hurriedly brought a thick velvet robe to put on for her, but this time Meng Shi did not refuse.

So along the way, the old woman took his hand and walked out of the house step by step.

"Mother, why did you come out?" Meng Che, who had been guarding the door, heard the movement and quickly turned his head with a surprised expression.

"Come out to bask in the sun, what's the matter, I can only stay in the house all the time?" Meng glanced at him and glared at him slightly.

Meng Che was suddenly a little confused, and he didn't understand why his casual words were refuted by his mother. However, because of his mother's usual majesty, he didn't dare to ask more, but his eyes turned to Chen Mingye on the side, and it became even more strange for a while: "Mother, how can you let Brother Chen support you, those slaves and maids are all lazy, and they can't be lazy if they think about it." ”

"I let Xiao Chen help him, he has a good heart, and he is willing to accompany me, an old woman, who doesn't want his own son, who has never had these filial pieties. Meng Shi looked at him and said lightly.

Chen Mingye looked confused, what kind of situation is this.

Meng Che was panicked, and hurriedly said: "The child is panicked, because the child is slacking off on weekdays, and I hope that his mother will punish him." ”

Meng Shi glanced at him: "You are also the best poet and writer on weekdays, you can communicate with Xiao Chen a lot, he is determined to be in the spring of the next year, if you are expected to be with him, it would be great." ”

Meng Che was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Follow my mother's teachings." ”

Chen Mingye's heart was strange, and he faintly felt that this Aunt Meng seemed to have something to say.

"Come with me. Meng glanced at it, not bothering to pay attention to him.

"Mother, where are you going, it's late autumn now, it's better not to walk around. Meng Che was a little anxious.

Chen Mingye didn't know, but his son knew it very well. Because of her frailty and illness, Meng Shi is most afraid of wind and cold, and now it is late autumn, and she mostly lives in the house and does not go out easily. If there is a meal, it is naturally the maid who brings it to the eyes, how can there be a saying that he goes out to the dining hall in person.

"Don't talk too much. Meng Shi glared at him lightly again.

Meng Che was helpless, his parents' orders were not easy to disobey, so he could only honestly follow behind Meng Shi.

Chen Mingye turned his head to look at Meng Shi, and was about to persuade him, but before he could speak, Meng Shi shook his hand and said softly: "Happy today, let's sit at a table together and have a good meal, do you say okay?"

Chen Mingye only felt a sour nose, and nodded vigorously: "Okay." ”

"Go, and call your sister over to me, an old woman. Meng Shi smiled slightly, took the initiative to let go of his hand, and beckoned to Meng Che who was following him, "You come." ”

Meng Che hurriedly stepped forward and supported her body.

Chen Mingye hesitated slightly, and bowed respectfully to the Meng family: "That junior will take a step back first." ”

"Hmm. Meng nodded, his eyes still looking at him lightly.

Chen Mingye retired and walked out of this courtyard, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Just a few steps after he walked, someone behind him tugged at the hem of his clothes.

He turned his head away, but there was no one in sight for the first time.

Then the hem of his clothes was pulled twice harder, and he remembered to lower his head, and sure enough, a small figure that had just reached his waist was leaning against him, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiaohong? The little girl was standing behind him at the moment, her little hand gently pulling the hem of his clothes, raising her head and looking at him seriously with big eyes.

"Little junior brother, do you know that old woman?" asked Xiaohong crisply.

"Hahaha, she's not an old woman, she's my aunt, a very gentle and gentle person. Chen Mingye reached out and touched her head, and smiled lightly, "Does Xiaohong want to see her?"

"Does Little Brother want me to see her?" Xiaohong continued to ask with a serious face.

"She wants to eat with us, so let's see you. Chen Mingye nodded, "You may have eaten a lot of delicious food now." ”

When the little girl heard this, she really smiled and bent her eyebrows: "Okay!"

"Let's go, don't keep her waiting. Chen Mingye reached out and took Xiaohong's delicate little hand.

Xiaohong answered softly and followed him obediently, looking a little nervous.

"Scared?" After not walking a few steps, Chen Mingye noticed Xiaohong's stubbornness, you must know that if you hear that there will be delicious food on weekdays, the little girl must be jumping up and down all the way, how can she be so well-behaved like now.

When the little girl heard his question, she immediately shook her head like a rattle.

Chen Mingye stretched out his hand and hugged the little girl who was following closely behind him, Xiaohong's eyes widened, and her cheeks on both sides puffed up, as if she was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

"What are you staring at me, just like you, I'm really afraid that you will run away, weird. Chen Mingye hooked the corners of his mouth, and reached out to shave the little girl's small nose.

Red tilted her head in dissatisfaction and dodged his hand.

"You can't fool the delicious food now?" Chen Mingye felt a little headache.

Xiaohong turned her head, but she just happened to see the figure in the courtyard, and quickly turned her head back and plunged into Chen Mingye's arms.

Chen Mingye only felt funny for a while, and he didn't figure out what happened to the little girl who was not afraid of the ground that day, just hugged her and stepped into the courtyard again.

Over there, Meng Shi also seemed to have been watching at the door, and when he saw Chen Mingye's figure at this moment, he was slightly happy and said, "You're back so soon?"

"I've seen Madame. Chen Mingye hugged Xiaohong and didn't salute, but lowered his head slightly.

"How can you be so polite," Meng Shi said with a smile, but his eyes had already fallen on the little red robe in his arms, "This little girl, could it be your sister?"

Chen Mingye looked down, Xiaohong still pretended to be dead and arched her head in her arms, and she didn't react at all.

He had no choice but to smile bitterly: "It's her, her name is Xiaohong." Saying this, he patted the little girl with his hand, but unfortunately Xiaohong only muttered a few words lightly, and still didn't raise her head.

"But people live up to their name. Meng Shi smiled slightly, not at all embarrassed, but called softly, "Xiaohong, is this shy?"

Xiaohong's body trembled slightly when she heard the voice, and then she slowly raised her head.

"Hello Auntie. The little girl turned her head as she spoke, and her big bright eyes just met Meng's old eyes.

Meng Shi looked at the little girl and was slightly stunned, and there was no response for a while.
