Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sharpening
Mu Chu's sudden appearance, and then his sudden departure, made me think a little more in my heart. I always feel that this Nizi has been a different person when she meets again since the separation of Agarwood Valley, and there is always a sense of resentment in my eyes.
Originally, I was going to catch up and ask to find out where I provoked him, but after only taking a few steps, I was stopped by Dao Fan: "Daoxi, the master is looking for you." ”
Yanshou is back, what is he looking for me to do at this time? I glanced at Dao Fan in surprise, and then at Mu Chu who gradually disappeared on the mountain road, and sighed in my heart, Forget it, I'd better go see Yanshou first.
Yanshou looked a little tired, and his eyes were downcast. When I walked into his meditation room, he was holding a delicate brocade box in his hand, and he didn't say a word.
"Master, what did you call me for?"
Yanshou put the brocade box on the table, counted the Buddha beads on his chest and said, "Daoxi, the master has something for you to do." ”
"Master, you command. "Seeing that Yanshou said it very seriously, I didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
Yan Shou pointed to the brocade box on the table, "Before the end of tonight, you take this brocade box to the Liuhe Pagoda and give it to a master named Jingming." ”
"Master, what's in here?" I asked curiously.
Yanshou opened the brocade box, and I stretched out my neck to look over, and there was nothing inside. "Master, what's the matter with you, what are you doing with me bringing an empty brocade box to Liuhe Tower?"
Yanshou didn't answer me, but said: "Daofan will go with you, and if anything happens, someone will help you." ”
The words of longevity are all in my heart. I always felt that there was some conspiracy in this, but I thought that it wouldn't hurt me to prolong my life, so I nodded and took the errand.
Walking out of the longevity meditation room, he Yujian Li oracle. She clasped her hands, but her eyes fell on the brocade box in my hand. Her gaze made me uneasy, she couldn't have come for the brocade box.
"Where are you going?"
"Six and Tower. ”
"I'll go with you. ”
"Good. ”
After a formulaic Q&A, we walked back and forth, and she never asked me what was in the box, and I didn't tell her that there was nothing in it.
When we walked to the main hall, we saw Yao Yin who was giving medicine to the doctor and looked at us with a smile, "Little brother, you have to come back early tonight." ”
I looked up at the sky in confusion and saw what it would look like at three o'clock in the afternoon. It is more than ten miles away from Yongming Temple to Liuhe Pagoda, and you can walk back and forth in an hour at most. Even if you stay in the tower for a light meal or something, you don't have to make it dark until it gets dark.
I ignored him, carefully put away the brocade box, and strode towards the outside of the temple. Yu Dao Fan, who was adding incense, said hello, and then the three of us embarked on the journey to the Six Harmony Pagoda.
"I saw Mu Chu today. ”
When two monks walk together with a woman, they always attract some weird glances. At first, I didn't care too much, but I couldn't beat so many pairs of eyes, so in order to divert my attention, I found a random topic to break the silence of this trip.
Dao Fan didn't know why, but still walked forward. Li Oracle frowned slightly, but did not answer. I lowered my head helplessly, it turned out that I wanted to find someone to distract and relieve the awkward atmosphere, but it was such a difficult thing.
"Let's rest here for a while. Walking to an inn at the foot of Nanping Mountain, Dao Fan stopped and pointed to the inn and said.
The monk of my second battle can't scratch his head, this is not a long door, just more than ten miles away from the gate of the temple, and he has to rest on the tip of the point? Besides, he has only walked a mile to rest, when did Daofan's body become so weak?
"Senior brother, I think it's better for us to deliver the things earlier and go back to the temple as soon as possible. ”
Dao Fan didn't think so, and walked straight into the inn. "The master ordered us to stay in this inn for a while. ”
I'm very depressed, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Daofan and Yanshou, it's strange enough to send an empty brocade box, and I have to run to the inn for a while halfway. Why is it so complicated to do something simple?
It is an inn called "Fangyuan Inn". As soon as the three of us stepped through the door, countless eyes swept at us. The entire inn lobby was full of people. And on their tables, apart from wine and food, there were more or less swords, and a few clubs stood next to the stools.
"Master, do you want to stay in the hotel or do you want to be sharp?" the shopkeeper greeted us with a smile and a white rag in his hand.
"Sharpened. Dao Fan took out half of the money from his bosom and said, "Just bring us a pot of tea." ”
Finding a table near the direction of West Lake, the three of us sat down. I was tempted to ask which one Wenfan was singing, but before I could ask, I saw a familiar figure walking towards me.
"Master Daofan, I wonder if the little girl can sit down?" With a charming smile and a gentle step, the woman was none other than Lan Zishu, who had performed in Qingzhou Luohualou, and behind her was the delicate little girl Xiaoxiao who was inseparable from her.
Mu Ne's Dao Fan surprisingly did not carry forward his style of not being good at words as always, but nodded politely at Lan Zishu, "Donor, please take a seat." ”
"Yesterday, the little girl wanted to go to your temple to visit Master Yanshou, but unfortunately the master was not in the temple, but today I don't know if there is a fate to meet Master Yanshou?" Lan Zishu's professional smile as always always made me feel inexplicably frightened in my heart. The appearance of this woman made me faintly feel that her previous trip to Qingzhou was not a business trip required for work, but with ulterior motives.
Qingzhou, Sihai Gang, Yongming Temple, Menglan Bon Society, these four keywords are connected together, what can you think of?
The relics of the Yellow Nest, or the heirloom jade seal, is this woman also here for that thing? So, what is her true identity?
"The female donor, the family teacher is in the temple at the moment, and I hope the donor can get what he wants. ”
Lan Zishu didn't answer Dao Fan's words, but turned her gaze to me, "This little monk looks very familiar. ”
The female benefactor smiled, and the little monk said goodbye. "Although this Lan Zishu makes me feel inexplicably uncomfortable, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the politeness on the surface is still indispensable.
"I ...... I know you, you are Xiao Zuo Xiao Gongzi of Qingzhou City. Lan Zishu looked at me in shock, but no matter how I looked at her, her expression seemed to be pretending.
"There is no Xiao Zuo here, only the little monk Daoxi. "I learned to prolong my life and smiled lightly. I feel that the depth of pretending to be a monk is still a very proud thing.
Lan Zishu smiled, and then pointed to the brocade box in my arms, "Master Daoxi, you have to be careful of what you have in your arms, this inn is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to leave as soon as possible." ”
As soon as her words fell, more than a dozen fierce eyes in the lobby swept in our direction, and even a few hands quietly held the weapons in their hands, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while. Could it be that they regard the brocade box in my hand as a relic of the Yellow Nest that will be made public tomorrow?
If that's the case, aren't we now the target of public criticism?
I glanced at Dao Fan worriedly and motioned for him to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, but Dao Fan turned a blind eye and poured himself a cup of tea, "It's not too early, if the female donor wants to see the tutor today, she needs to be early." ”
When did Dao Fan speak so domineeringly, this tone, this division, is it completely a naked eviction order. After hearing this, Lan Zishu was not angry, stood up and saluted us very politely, "Then don't disturb the three, the little girl will leave first." ”
Seeing Lan Zishu and the two servants gone, I finally couldn't help but whisper to Daofan: "Senior brother, you and the master are not cheating on me, right?" Look at this inn like a tiger's den in Longtan, aren't you afraid that there will be no return?"
"Let's go, it's time for us to hit the road. ”
"I haven't had time to take a sip of this tea, what a fee. ”
