Mount Lantuo?
There was a kind of extreme reverence there. Before entering Mount Lantuo, many of the people had unreachable statuses in the secular world. They might be the king of Ganlufan, the prince of Shizi Country, or the imperial family of Peacock Dynasty. Each one was more prestigious than the last. However, after entering Mount Lantuo to cultivate, after leaving the secular world, they would fall into the dust and become no different from ordinary monks. There were many rules in Mount Lantuo. One was not allowed to wear silk or satin, one's cassock could not be wrinkled, one could not fill one's stomach, and one could only curl one's legs on a one-meter square cloth mat when sleeping. There were so many rules that people of the Central Plains were dumbfounded. His Royal Highness had heard about the legends of Mount Lantuo. For example, there were traveling monks who saw a lost item on the side of the road. They would draw a circle around the item and then sit on the side. Often, they would wait for several days in vain. However, generally speaking, no one would be greedy for something that was drawn in a circle by a monk of Mount Lantuo. Furthermore, there was an old monk who had been imprisoned for thirty-four years in Mount Lantuo. The problem was that no one knew what the reincarnation of the Living Buddha was waiting for.
Therefore, monks who had cultivated in Mount Lantuo had a golden signboard embedded in them. They were popular everywhere. Some fake abbots who shaved their heads and pretended to be bald liked to say, "I came from Mount Lantuo" as soon as they opened their mouths.
Cultivation in Mount Lantuo was extremely difficult and strict in accepting disciples. Therefore, with only three hundred people in the temple, it could compete with the Two Zen Temples that had disciples all over the world. One in the east and the other in the west, they complemented each other.
Hsu Fengnian believed the red-clothed monk when he said he came from Mount Lantuo. Half of it was because he had just reached out and recited the sutra, and the other half was because he felt the monk's Qi flowing eastward like a great river. Judging from the monk's words and actions, he was as still as a mountain, but inside, he was like a river rushing into the sea.
Although Hsu Fengnian had a good impression of Mount Lantuo and the monks, there was no room for discussion if they wanted to kidnap His Royal Highness to the Western Regions. Therefore, he smiled sinisterly and asked, "What if I don't go?"
The Embroidered Winter Saber was about to be unsheathed.
Hsu Fengnian was confident that this first strike would be able to break an entire wall.
Who would have thought that the monk would only say in a lukewarm tone, "I can wait."
Hsu Fengnian habitually rubbed the hilt of his saber with his thumb and asked, "Wait?"
The solemn-looking monk circled around Hsu Fengnian and then quietly retreated into the distance. He had no intention of kidnapping or stopping His Royal Highness.
Not only did Hsu Fengnian find it absurd, but even the little girl who was watching the show could not understand. She felt that the monks at home who freeloaded on food and drink were more interesting. That rotten mountain was too boring.
The little girl finally came back to her senses. She looked at Hsu Fengnian and asked in a low voice, "Hsu Fengnian, are you that whose son? Then aren't you His Royal Highness? "
Who was it? It must be Xu Xiao.
Whether it was Taoism or Buddhism, men or women, old or young, as long as one was in Jianghu, it seemed that no one dared to call the name of the great pillar state Xu Xiao.
He secretly paid attention to the flow of Qi of the great monk of Mount Lantuo. This was the so-called bull riding.
Hsu Fengnian, who was still holding the spiced beef, asked with a smile, "Are you afraid? Do you regret knowing me? "
The little girl laughed three times, but it seemed like she was emboldening herself. Hsu Fengnian found it very interesting, but he did not expose her. In the past, when they were in Jianghu together, when they encountered a situation, this little girl would always lose but not lose. She was the fiercest when she scolded people and ran away the fastest.
The little monk said weakly, "Let's go. Anyway, we've already seen him. If we don't return to the temple, master and mistress will fight with the abbot again. "
The little girl looked at Hsu Fengnian and then at the little monk. She seemed to be making a difficult choice between going home and going back. Her limpid eyes subconsciously rolled around the fragrant spiced beef. Hsu Fengnian did not want to make things difficult for this simple-minded little girl. Without saying anything, he handed the spiced beef to the little girl and turned to leave. "Wait for me for a moment. I'll eat the beef first and let Hsu Fengnian give you a ride. There's no reason for you to go out of the city with an empty stomach after arriving in Liangzhou."
Hsu Fengnian walked toward the rouge shop in the east of the city. As he passed by the beef shop, he saw a much taller girl with a still young face. She was holding a bamboo stick and sitting on the door sill looking at him.
His Royal Highness was in a hurry to buy rouge, so he did not greet him. The reason why the Green Swallow Branch was famous was because of a poem written by his second sister, Xu Weixiong. Hsu Fengnian took the rouge shop for free, and the shopkeeper was willing to do so. Besides, His Royal Highness used to take the courtesans of Liangdi to the shop to choose rouge. If the courtesans who liked the rouge were sincerely happy, His Royal Highness would reward the shop with some silver taels. In the end, the rouge shop with the "Green Plum Blossom" signboard still earned more than it lost. When Hsu Fengnian arrived at the shop, he picked a box of Green Swallow Branch and two boxes of Imperial Concubine Peach before swaggering off. Everyone in the shop kept quiet out of fear. A few rich men who came with their concubines to throw away money lowered their heads and did not say anything.
On the other side, the little monk looked at the little girl whose hands and mouth were covered in grease and reminded her, "Is this Hsu Fengnian? He is His Royal Highness, but it seems that his reputation is not good. "
The little girl bit into the marinated beef and said in an open-minded manner, "I'm not good-looking either. Hsu Fengnian doesn't like me."
The little monk became anxious and said, "Who said that?!"
The little girl did not pay attention to her childhood friend's anxiousness and said with a mischievous smile, "Mother told me that when I find a good friend in the future, I can't find one who is too beautiful. When I find a husband, I can't find one who is too handsome either. It's easy to attract bees and butterflies. I'm considered half a monk, so it's not appropriate to kill too many people. "
The little monk had no choice but to use his backer and asked, "Thing, did you forget what master and master's wife said about men and women outside the temple?"
The little girl said in a deadpan manner, "Of course I remember. My father said that the men outside the temple are all evil men who kill people and steal their goods. My mother said that the women outside the temple are all venomous women who speak honey and have a heart of snakes and scorpions. Stupid Nanbei, are you stupid? My father and mother said that just to scare me. "
The stupid and foolish little monk was silent.
The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Do you hate Hsu Fengnian?"
The little monk shook his head and said, "If Thing likes it, I like it."
The little girl hummed twice. His words were pleasant to hear, so she did not care about the unpleasant name 'Thing'.
Hsu Fengnian brought the rouge over. When he saw the little girl using her sleeve to wipe her face, he handed the rouge over to the little girl and said with a smile, "I'll give it to you."
The little monk looked at the little girl's happy expression and was not angry. He only sighed like an old man.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, "Hsu Fengnian, is that so-and-so in the Prince's Mansion?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "It will take two days for them to come back from the northern border."
She jumped a bit, "Then let's go to your house to take a look?"
Hsu Fengnian did not know whether to laugh or cry.
What happened next made Hsu Fengnian realize how tenacious this heroine's nerves were. When they arrived at the entrance of Beiliang Palace, she glanced at the two guardian lions and said seriously, "Unfortunately, I don't have them in front of my house."
After entering the Prince's Mansion, she saw the majestic building that stretched all the way to the top of Mount Qing Liang. She muttered, "It's quite big. It's almost half the size of my house."
Seeing the Flowing Water Lake and the Tide-listening Pavilion, she giggled and said, "I like this pond. My pond doesn't have this kind of grandeur. Stupid Nanbei, you should learn some skills from my father. You should learn how to move mountains and seas early and move this pond back. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled generously and said, "I'll move it back."
The little monk said softly, "Little thing, our temple is your home, but it's not yours."
The little girl stared at him and said, "Is there a difference?"
The little monk was obviously not a guy who could insist on his own opinion in front of her. He whispered, "Is it?"
The little girl asked, "Then let me ask you, is a white horse a horse?"
The little monk, who thought that he had mistakenly boarded a pirate ship in the temple and learned Buddhism from his master, was even more uncertain. He repeated, "Is it?"
Hsu Fengnian had arranged for the two children to stay in a courtyard near Wutong Yuan, which showed how much importance he attached to the little girl. Along the way, Hsu Fengnian did not dare to look at her too much, for fear that he would frighten this little heroine who always liked to talk nonsense. Since he did not look at the little girl, he could only observe the little monk. The green and light red kasaya was unmistakably the attire of the preaching monks in Buddhism. Although it could not be compared to the scarlet and purple robes bestowed by the imperial court to the eminent monks, it was still quite rare. Those who wore this kasaya had three great virtues on their body: the protection of the Heavenly Dragon, the worship of all living beings, and the respect of Luocha. Hsu Fengnian became more and more curious about which temple was the little girl's so-called home.
Hsu Fengnian sat in the courtyard. The little girl was very happy with her residence and excitedly ran around the house. The little monk, whose kasaya was not on the right shoulder but on the left, squatted beside a swing and stared at the clear sky in a daze.
Sweet Potato quietly came behind His Royal Highness.
After going down the mountain, Hsu Fengnian had already learned that the white-haired Old Man had defeated the hero Wei Beishan who used the Zhanmadao. Both of them left Beiliang. In the Wulin world, the Xuanyuan family had been struggling at death's door under the suppression of Yuan Zuozong and Lu Qiu 'er. The little butcher Chen Zhibao had gained great military merits at the border.
Xu Xiao was about to return to the mansion.
Second Sister Xu Weixiong seemed to be going home for the New Year.
Hsu Fengnian was very sure that his second sister came here to scold him. She scolded Xu Xiao for not being strict with her and scolded him for practicing the Zhanmadao.
Hsu Fengnian rubbed his burning eyebrows and said self-mockingly, "Sweet Potato, you can prepare the cotton now."
Sweet Potato smiled and agreed.
In the mansion, who was not afraid of Xu Weixiong?
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and saw the little girl holding the corner of her clothes and walking out of the house shyly.
The red makeup on her face must be half a pound heavy, right?
The little monk stared with his eyes wide open.
Sweet Potato turned her head away. It was a bit too horrible to look at …
Hsu Fengnian stood up and said with a smile, "So beautiful."
