"Daddy!" Xue Nianci cried out, not knowing whether she was happy to see Xiao Ting or sad that she was leaving her father. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Zhou Zhiming smiled on the side: "Princess Lu should be happy." Bai Pony's love for his daughter really transcends secular concepts? It's just that as Bai Pony said, to go to Shaolin, you need to cross the battlefield and go deep behind enemy lines. Although Princess Lu and Chai Juma are strong in martial arts, they are also a little powerful, I don't know who else wants to accompany the two of them?"
Chai Shaoning was also embarrassed when he heard it. The eldest brother and eldest sister left the South China Sea, all for the second brother's business, and the original plan was of course for the six brothers and sisters to go to Shaolin together. But now that the king of Kawanaka is dead, the situation has changed greatly, and everyone is forced to embark on the road of escape. Although Zhou Zhiming escorted him all the way, he also needed to leave enough manpower to protect Bai Feiyu and Shengyue and others, who had lost their martial arts, to deal with possible emergencies.
Seeing Chai Shaoning hesitantly looking at him and Ouyang Qian, Sima Long guessed the third brother's thoughts, and took the initiative to speak: "Shaolin Holy Land, it is not appropriate for too many people to disturb it. I believe that the second sister will definitely be able to move the second brother, so Qianmei and I are going to Taiyuan first, where we will wait for your good news. Third brother, you have to take care of your three younger sisters along the way, and you must not let them make any mistakes!"
With Sima Long and Ouyang Qian accompanying him to protect everyone, Chai Shaoning suddenly put his mind at ease and said to Bai Feiyu and Zhou Zhiming: "I had the intention of returning to Shanxi before my aunt and uncle, but I am not filial and have not been able to fulfill their wishes. Passing by Shouyang Mountain on this trip, Chai Shaoning wanted to trouble Uncle Bai and General Zhou to pick up his uncle and aunt. Saying that, he glanced at Song Yuanlan and said: "In addition, someone needs to take Sister Zhimei's ashes to Taiyuan, and when I return from Shaolin Temple, I will send Senior Sister back to my hometown and bury her next to the tomb of my teacher and mother, so——"
Chai Shaoning just said this, Song Yuanlan over there was like a ghost, and when she saw Chai Shaoning looking at her, she immediately guessed Chai Shaoning's thoughts, and didn't allow him to say it, so she said directly: "So Rou'er also needs to stay and accompany the team." She has lived on Shouyang Mountain for half a year, and she is familiar with the road, so she is just right to introduce you and Uncle Ji and Aunt Fang!"
Shangguan Rou said dryly when she heard this: "The third sister is a bully, and I will also go with the third brother to see the second brother!"
Ouyang Qian smiled when she heard this: "Why is Rou'er still so obsessed with your senior brother?
Shangguan Rou knew that the relationship between him and his senior brother was not as close as Song Yuanlan, who had become Chai Shaoning's wife, so she was unwilling to give up, and kicked the leg of the chair next to her angrily.
Shangguan Rou was sitting next to Sheng Yue, seeing Shangguan Rou's cute appearance, she stretched out her arms to hug this little sister with pity, and chuckled in her ear: "Rou'er will stay with Sister Yue and accompany me, okay? Let's take the uncle and aunt back to their hometown together, and Sister Yue will be the master for you, and your senior brother can't run away!"
Shangguan Rou and Song Yuanlan had an appointment for a year, and when they heard Shengyue's tone at this time, they seemed to regard themselves as sisters, guessing that it must be Song Yuanlan who told Shengyue about this, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.
Su Wenli lost her family, and Chai Shaoning was often not around, unconsciously regarded Shengyue as her eldest sister, and was sticking to Shengyue's side at this time, just one left and one right with Shangguan Rou, leaning over and hearing Shengyue's whispering words to Shangguan Rou, a pair of big eyes looked at Shangguan Rou with a surprised look.
Shangguan Rou saw that Su Wenli also noticed her, and immediately lowered her head, and didn't dare to say anything anymore.
The matter was settled, and Chai Shaoning did not delay, immediately said goodbye to everyone, and took Xue Nianci and Song Yuanlan out of the house.
Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci have eaten divine objects, needless to say, they are powerful. Song Yuanlan had an adventure first, her swordsmanship advanced to the realm of Dacheng, and she received half of the internal force of the Holy Moon, and her skills directly chased Xue Nianci, coupled with her magical spiritual sense, even if Chai Shaoning wanted to defeat her at this time, it would not be easy. These three people joined forces, and naturally easily passed through many levels, and went straight to Shaolin with a whip.
Arriving at Songshan in the afternoon of this day, Chai Shaoning first rented a yard from a nearby farmer as a foothold, and then took his two younger sisters to the gate of Shaolin Temple.
The three of them asked the monk at the door to report on their behalf.
After a while, the smiling monk Wanhe came out of the door, slowly descending the steps, and said with a smile: "The donor is already a regular guest of Shaolin, since he is outside the door, why don't you go directly inside?"
Chai Shaoning saluted respectfully and said, "Chai Shaoning has seen the holy monk. Because I came with two younger sisters this time, I don't know if the rules of the temple accept female guests, so I don't dare to venture into the temple!"
Wan He Seng smiled and said: "The four major ones are empty in the eyes of the monks, and the Buddhist door is widely opened for pilgrims. Even my Buddha has female disciples when he sits down, how can Shaolin Temple not accept female donors?"
Chai Shaoning was relieved at this time, and thanked Xue Nianci and Song Yuanlan together, and walked into the mountain gate.
I have seen the abbot of Wankong, and Chai Shaoning explained his intention. Wankong did not delay, and still asked Huixin to bring Chai Shaoning and others to find Xiao Ting.
Although Xiao Ting was not officially ordained, he was the descendant and grandson of the two monks, Yili and Yifan, and he was extremely senior in the Shaolin Temple, so he was arranged to live alone in a monk's room.
Huixin sent the three of them to the door of the monk's room where Xiao Ting lived, and gave a salute to retire.
Song Yuanlan sensed that Xue Nianci's body was trembling, and couldn't help but hold the second sister's arm to show comfort.
Xue Nianci was all tied to Xiao Ting, and she didn't know what it would be like to meet? Because she was so nervous, she didn't even notice that Song Yuanlan stretched out her hand to help her, and when the two sides touched, Xue Nianci was so frightened that she trembled and moaned lowly.
Chai Shaoning felt heartache when he saw it, and when the second sister stepped forward to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside with a "squeak", and Ciren, who could speak dumbly, appeared at the door.
"Three donors, please come in!" Ciren obviously learned the news that Chai Shaoning and the three were coming, and there was no surprise on his face, so he let the three of them into the house.
Xue Nianci entered the room with the support of Song Yuanlan, and saw that the walls of this monk's room were empty, only a bed was placed against the wall, and there was a masked monk sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his hands together in a Zen shape, even though he could not see the face of this monk, but that kind of indifference came out of the body, and turned people away from thousands of miles away.
"Second brother!" Xue Nianci didn't even dare to be sure that this monk was Xiao Ting, and called softly, but the masked monk didn't react at all.
"Second brother, I'm Nianci!" Xue Nianci called again, tears already sliding down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Song Yuanlan has obtained half of the power of the Holy Moon, and her spiritual sense has greatly improved, and she can no longer use any objects to reach the level of seeing through the wall. Seeing that the monk was as straight as a clay carved wooden statue, I don't know if he had opened his eyes through the cloth?
Feeling Song Yuanlan's whole body shocked, Chai Shaoning turned his face to look at his wife, but when he saw Song Yuanlan's face frightened, he stared at the masked monk who was silently immobile in disbelief.
Chai Shaoning knew that Song Yuanlan had the ability to perceive everything, and he had also experienced the feeling of being extremely shocked when he suddenly saw Xiao Ting's terrifying face, so he reached out and gently held his wife's hand.
Song Yuanlan calmed down for a long time, and quietly said to Chai Shaoning: "Second brother always closes his eyes and refuses to look at us. ”
Chai Shaoning nodded, and said to the benevolent monk: "Master forgive me, can you keep the second sister and my second brother alone for a while?"
The benevolent monk pronounced the Buddha's name and stepped out of the house.
Chai Shaoning dragged Song Yuanlan, and the two of them also went out of the house lightly and closed the door from the outside.
Standing far away on the other side of the courtyard, the two still heard Xue Nianci's increasingly irrepressible cry coming from the house, the voice stopped crying, occasionally mixed with high and low female voices, thinking that Xue Nianci was confessing her lovesickness to Xiao Ting and expressing her heart, but I don't know if Xiao Ting couldn't speak, did he make any response?
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, it was sunset, and the hazy shadows began to cover the monk's room where Xiao Ting was, and Chai Shaoning and Song Yuanlan couldn't help but cast a shadow in their hearts.
After a while, the door was opened with a "whirring", and Xue Nianci hid her face and ran out of the temple.
Seeing this, Song Yuanlan hurriedly chased after her.
Chai Shaoning watched Xue Nianci and Song Yuanlan rush out of the courtyard one after another, and he turned around and entered Xiao Ting's monk's room.
Xiao Ting was still sitting cross-legged on the celebration, and it was conceivable that he let Xue Nianci cry and complain, and he never said anything from beginning to end.
Chai Shaoning said unhappily: "I don't know what the second sister said to the second brother just now, but I know that the second sister's heart for the second brother is very clear. Even though she had made the second brother miserable at the beginning, the second brother shouldn't have hurt her with this indifference, right?"
Seeing that Xiao Ting was still silent, Chai Shaoning said angrily: "My teacher Qu Tongya has been affectionate to Yue Rufei's predecessors all his life, but Yue's predecessors have a heart, and finally made the teacher lonely and miserable, and regretfully died in the mountains. Now the second brother wants to let the second sister follow in the footsteps of his teacher? But second brother, tell me why this is? Could it be that the second brother really cares about the Buddha and completely forgets the true feelings in the world?"
Xiao Ting was sure that Xue Nianci had left, and when he was questioned by Chai Shaoning, he couldn't suppress the painful babbling sound in his throat, and the whole person collapsed, burying his face in his palms and crying bitterly.
Chai Shaoning saw Xiao Ting crying so sadly, angry and funny, and said helplessly: "Second brother, why is this difficult?"
Xiao Ting cried bitterly and didn't say anything.
Chai Shaoning knew that the second brother was also extremely sad in his heart, and when he cried for a while, he said softly: "Although the second brother is a Buddha, he can't even get over his own demons." The second sister didn't have any dissent because of the second brother's appearance, as long as the second brother can let go of the burden, he can give her happiness and give you your own happiness!"
Xiao Ting relieved himself, the mask was all wet with tears, Chong Chai Shaoning shook his hand, and after signaling that he resolutely did not accept Xue Nianci's affection, he sat upright again and folded his palms.
When Chai Shaoning was crying and laughing, the door was vigorously pushed open with a "bang". Song Yuanlan burst in and shouted, "Second brother, why are you still meditating here?" Second sister is too sad, knowing that you are afraid that she will dislike your ugly face and want to harm yourself. I couldn't dissuade her, so I had to temporarily click on her acupoint. But this kind of thing can be prevented for a while, but it can't be prevented for a lifetime, if the second brother doesn't change his mind, the second sister's pair of eyes will be destroyed in your hands after all!"
