Poor monks do not break the precepts

Crossing the Canglang River from the downstream where the water is gentle, it will take about five days to get to Qingzhou Prefecture at an accelerated speed of [-] miles. However, Huai Mingmo is still weak and ill, and it is barely enough to travel [-] miles a day in a horse-drawn carriage. .There are countless business travelers on the official road all year round, and the sound of horses crying like rain, so post stations and inns can be seen everywhere on both sides of the official road.The group of them stayed at the hotel almost every day at Xu time, ordered seven or eight small dishes to satisfy their hunger, went back to the house to wash up, and then lay down to rest. The next morning, when their bellies were white, they were ready to set off.

After several days of rushing, on the eighth day, Huai Mingmo finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his body collapsed and burned again. Xin Li immediately asked Luo Chen to drive to the nearest Liu County to find a doctor.

The doctor took Huaimingmo's pulse with a serious expression, retracted his hand for a while, looked carefully at the prescription written by Xun Kewen before, stroked his beard, and sighed, "This young master is weaker than ordinary people, and he was over-thinking a while ago, so he couldn't sleep at night. The ignorance makes the body weaker. How can you stand up to the fatigue of the long journey? You are too stupid. Could it be that Dr. Xun’s return of the dew pill has a miraculous effect?

Xinli took the ice cube that Luo Chengang bought with a lot of money, shattered it with internal force, wrapped it in brocade cloth and placed it on Huaimingmo's forehead.Huai Mingmo is recuperating in a light sleep at the moment, Xinli asked in a low voice, "Doctor Hu, when will our young master's fever go away?"

"Take a good rest for a day, and the fever will almost subside at noon tomorrow."

Luo Chen muttered: "Isn't that a day's delay?"

Dr. Hu immediately raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but say in a louder voice: "Are you still planning to continue on your way tomorrow? Do you want your son's life?"

"Doctor Hu, we really have an urgent matter to go to Qingzhou Prefecture." Xinli looked at Huai Mingmo's pale complexion, and naturally knew that such a physical condition should not be tired anymore, but he also knew that once Huai Mingmo woke up, he would cover up and persist .In a dilemma, he had no choice but to pull over Dr. Hu, who was cross-eyed, and said with a wry smile: "Doctor Hu, our young master can walk around in a few days, so he won't have to train for a month before he can travel and work hard, right?"

Dr. Hu heard that they were going to Gyeongju Prefecture, the distance was not too far, and his expression was more relaxed than before, but he didn't answer, but just gave the written prescription to the young disciple who was making the medicine beside him. Xun Kewen's prescription was already gone Can be picky, so Dr. Hu just added two kinds of medicine for heat and cold on the basis of the original prescription.

More than half an hour later, the medicine boy brought a bowl of warm medicinal soup. Doctor Hu saw that several people were taking care of them carefully, so he said, "After two days of rest, you can go to Qingzhou Mansion. It's just that your son is too weak to stand up." The road is bumpy and fast, and the daily trip should not exceed [-] miles. Rest is the main thing. When you get to Gyeongju Prefecture, find a doctor to see him, and he will be recuperated in Gyeongju Prefecture for half a month, and you should be fine."

After thanking Dr. Hu many times, Xinli paid the consultation gold and medicine fees, and took the secondary medicine, and then took Huai Mingmo away with peace of mind.That night they stayed at the Yuelong Inn in Liu County, where Zheng Fengnian first went. In the evening, Huaiming’s ink fever subsided a little. They woke up and ate some porridge. After drinking the prescription, they fell asleep again, and woke up almost the next day. noon.

The Yuelong Inn is not far from Huichun Hall, Huai Mingmo was already tired of traveling by car and horse for days, so he simply took a stroll with Xin Li.As soon as the two of them reached the intersection outside Huichun Hall, they heard a shrill scream. The screaming woman was obviously going through a very painful thing. When they walked to the entrance of Huichun Hall, they found that they had been blocked by onlookers. , but everyone just looked at the door, as if there was something disgusting and frightening in the room, and no one dared to step in the door.

Xin Li finally protected Huai Mingmo and entered the Huichun Hall, and was immediately frightened by the scene in front of him, and asked after a long while, "Miss Shen?"

There was a strong smell of blood in the room, Huai Mingmo's sense of smell was more sensitive than ordinary people, but when he was unwell, he smelled the smell and suddenly felt a little nauseous, he covered his mouth and took a few steps back.

Shen Mengjun held up the handkerchief to cover his eyes, and couldn't bear to look at the scene in front of him, when he heard someone calling her, he looked sideways and asked in surprise, "Why is Mr. Huai here?"

"My son fell ill on the way to Gyeongju Prefecture, and he has been recuperating here for two days." Xin Li's position was facing the hall, so he could see the whole process of Dr. Hu pulling out the branches from Xiaotao's eyes, and frowned. Turning his head away, he whispered: "What's the matter?"

Shen Mengjun Fangzhi's tears fell immediately, and he sobbed softly, unable to speak for a long time, and said for a long time: "Three quarters ago, I was painting in the forest on the outskirts of Liuxian County. For some reason, Xiao Tao lost her footing and suddenly fell forward. Inserted by paved branches."

When Huai Mingmo heard the words, he clenched the door next to him, his eyebrows moved slightly, he understood the pain of blindness, and said sadly: "Is there still a cure?"

Shen Mengjun wiped away the beauty's tears from her cheeks, shook her head weakly and said, "The doctor said it was a blessing to save her life, but... as for... I'm afraid I won't see you again."

"It's a pity for this girl." Huai Mingmo instinctively turned sideways to avoid Shen Mengjun's hand, his face was as elegant as the wind, and Wen Wen said: "Please ask Miss Shen to relieve Xiaotao more, so that she won't miss it."

After treating Xiaotao's injury, Dr. Hu's forehead was covered with sweat. He took the rag handed by his apprentice to wipe off the sweat, and hurriedly checked Huaimingmo's pulse. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Master's pulse is better than yesterday Few, it seems that I have had a good rest. According to this state, it should not be a big problem to drive tomorrow afternoon. But you still need to pay attention. You must not be overworked like before, and it is better not to be brave when it is time to rest. "

"Thank you sir for your instruction." Huai Mingmo bowed respectfully, and couldn't bear to ask more questions, "The girl's eyes?"

Doctor Hu shook his head regretfully, seeing that Xiaotao had fallen asleep, he sighed, "I'm afraid..." Just as he said those two words, Doctor Hu was suddenly interrupted by Huai Mingmo's low call.Doctor Hu didn't understand why at first, but after carefully observing Huai Mingmo's eyes, he said in amazement: "Could it be, the eyes of the young master..." After speaking, Doctor Hu didn't say anything later, but he felt a pity in his heart.No wonder just now that Huai Mingmo's eyes felt empty and alienated. His eyes are clear and clear, but they always make people feel that they are different from ordinary people.

Huai Mingmo was seen through his flaws, he was neither angry nor panic, and generously admitted: "Not bad." After taking the medicine, the two comforted Shen Mengjun a few words before leaving.

It was easier to go than to enter the house. Most of the spectators had already left. Xin Li took five packs of tightly bound medicines and turned out of the street. Seems like. Isn't Miss Shen just interested in the pavilion master, so there's no need to dodge like this."

"Talk out." The girls and women who came and went gave Huai Mingmo a secret glance, but Huai Mingmo couldn't see it with his eyes, and couldn't feel it in his heart. Just like the title Ji Boru bestowed on him, the heart of the ruthless son is really too clear.

After returning to the inn, when Xinli talked about Xiaotao, everyone was sympathetic, but Xinli was secretly suspicious, always feeling that the incident was too coincidental, but he was only puzzled for a while, and didn't think too deeply.This day Huai Mingmo never went to the ground after returning from Huichuntang, he listened to Dr. Hu's words, lay on the bed, touched the ink with his fingertips, and read the Journey to the West that he brought out.

After two days in Anyang in Liu County, a group of people returned to the official road and continued to go to Qingzhou Prefecture. However, this time, no matter what Huai Mingmo told him, Luo Chen's driving speed was obviously slower than the previous few days, and he insisted on walking for more than 600 miles. four days.

Huai Mingmo's arrival in Gyeongju prefecture coincided with the mid-July Mid-Autumn Festival. Many houses in Gyeongju prefecture hung paper flags at the gates. There were many people on the banks of the Huai River setting off river lanterns. The tall woman is burning paper to worship her ancestors, and the sky lanterns are like a sea of ​​stars in the sky.Luo Chen and Zang Li worried that the flames of burning paper money on both sides would scare the horses pulling the cart, so they simply got off the ground and pulled the horses forward.

"Pavilion Master, the spies are here to report that Miss Zhuling is not in Hangongchun today. Why don't we go to Fenglefang to rest for a day, and then go to Hangongchun tomorrow." Xin Li let go of the pigeon in his hand and let it flutter. take off.

"Alright, I've heard about the tea from Yishuiju in Gyeongju Prefecture for a long time, and I always miss it. Today is a rare opportunity."

Not long after the diversion, he came to Fenglefang in the northwest corner of Gyeongju Prefecture. There was still a lot of traffic in the workshop. Zheng Fengnian sent Huaimingmo to the gate of Yishuiju, and Fang turned around and drove to the inn he saw.When the carriage was far away, the four of them walked slowly into Yishuiju, which was almost full of seats.

"Please come inside, guest officer." Xiao Er was filling water and delivering refreshments, and when he saw a visitor at the door, he hurried out to receive him.The mistress of Yishuiju greeted all kinds of guests all the year round, and his eyes were particularly fierce. He just observed Huai Mingmo's dress for a while, and immediately said with a smile: "Several objective guests, please go upstairs to the private room."

Huai Mingmo listened carefully to Xiao Er's footsteps, followed him up the steps steadily, and heard people in the hall applauding the storyteller from time to time.This storyteller's words are witty, he tells interesting stories about the Southern Qi Kingdom, he is really eloquent, and even Huai Mingmo is fascinated by his witty recounting.Walking through a room with an open door, Huai Mingmo suddenly smelled the clear fragrance of tea, which was different from other teas in the building, and almost brought out all the goodness of the tea. Good workmanship."

Zang Li looked inside curiously, and saw a bald man wearing a clean monk's robe. Under the light of the floor lamp, the whole body of this man seemed to be covered by a golden halo, which seemed so unreal. He murmured: " Monk?"

Xu Sheng sat cross-legged with his right hand and Zhi Yi was fascinated by the storytelling by the short table, when he suddenly heard someone behind him praising his tea art, he couldn't help but look back.This is the second time he has met Huai Mingmo, the first time because in the dark, even with his excellent night vision, he has never seen the ruthless son who is rumored in the world, this time he found that he is really a son as clear as the bright moon , Looking at Huai Mingmo's eyes like bright stars, I feel more and more regretful.

"Master Ruthless, please come in." Xu Sheng said leisurely, keeping the person who was about to leave, and in a blink of an eye he poured out a cup of tea and put it on the low table.

Huai Mingmo smiled lightly when he heard the words, walked into the Sanqing Pavilion calmly and sat down safely, bowed slightly to Xu Sheng and said, "Thank you, Master Xu Sheng for the tea."

Xu Sheng was slightly startled, and said calmly and indifferently: "How does Mr. Huai know who I am?"

"How do you know, I am Huai Mingmo."

Xu Sheng lowered his eyes and chuckled without saying much, he observed Huai Ming Mo carefully with interest, but Huai Ming Mo could not see, but felt Xu Sheng with the small sounds in his ears.

The hall was buzzing, but there was no sound in the pavilion. The contrast was so strong that Xiao Er, who wanted to bring hot water, stayed outside the pavilion for a long time, unable to advance or retreat.Xinli took the hot water pot from Xiao Er, replaced the pot that was almost dry on the stove, carefully observed Xu Sheng, he felt that this monk was too illusory and elusive, so he simply said bluntly: "The place of mortals , why did Master Xusheng step in?"

Xu Sheng saluted with one hand on his chest, and said slowly with a smile that was not a smile: "The poor monk has never stepped into the world of mortals, where is the ordinary world, for the poor monk, the world is a dust-free place."

Although Huai Mingmo didn't hear Xu Sheng's blame, he still apologized and said: "This subordinate is reckless, I hope Xu Sheng master Haihan."

Xu Sheng shook his head indifferently when he heard the words, and took a sip of tea from his cup.Huai Mingmo smelled the tea fragrance attractive, so he also drank the tea that Xu Sheng just put in his hand, and he felt a sense of sweetness and bitterness in the mouth, the tea is good tea, and the person who made the tea is even more wonderful, taste it again What is most important is the tea maker's leisurely and transcendent state of mind, clear and pure and lonely in the world, everything in the world seems to be empty in his heart.Huai Mingmo silently squeezed the teacup, unable to speak for a while.

"I'll try it." Luo Chen couldn't understand people who put on airs, even if there was a monk in front of him.He doesn't understand tea, and he can't tell the difference by tasting it.Zang Liyuan was a little thirsty, so she took the cup Luo Chen had just drank, and poured a cup for herself to quench her thirst.

"It's such a reckless waste." Xinli suppressed his curiosity, and really didn't want to be rude in front of others.

Xu Sheng didn't care about their rudeness at all, his eyes were as sharp as Huai Mingmo's when he entered the room, he saw that he was unwell, he said with a smile: "Mr.

There was another long silence in the room, Huai Mingmo stretched out his hand silently, in fact, even he himself couldn't explain why, but he had great trust in Xu Sheng.Xu Sheng lightly lifted the sleeves of Huai Mingmo's outer shirt, touched the silk satin of the jacket, hesitated for a moment, and tapped Huai Ming's ink veins lightly with his two fingers.

The weak and heavy pulse condition is indeed what Mr. Hu said, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation and rest.Taking the pulse of Huaiming ink personally, Xu Sheng suddenly felt relieved, inadvertently heaved a sigh of relief, and an imperceptible sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Huai Mingmo noticed Xu Sheng's sudden change of mood, he was puzzled but didn't say it out, and said peacefully: "How?"

"It's okay, Mr. Huai still needs to think less and rest." Xu Sheng straightened Huai Mingmo's cuffed shirt, slowly withdrew his hand, and took out a small wooden box carved with a delicate water lily shape from his waist pocket.

"Since Master Xusheng has traveled all over the world, he must know the major events that have happened recently. If you don't think about me, it's not easy." Huai Mingmo sighed melancholy, and his words were mostly helpless and bored.

Xu Sheng opened the wooden box and pushed it in front of Huai Mingmo, "It will be cured within two days."

The pills in the box are only the size of pearls, and they glow with light green light under the light, as clear and crystal clear as green springs in the mountains.Luo Chen bent over and picked up the wooden box to observe carefully, wondering if it might be poison or medicine, but the pavilion master dared not say it.Xin Li leaned closer to look at his upper eyes, and opened them suddenly. A page of an ancient book he had read in Wentao Pavilion flashed in his mind, and he said softly, "Put it back carefully." Luo Chen didn't know why Xin Li had such a shocked reaction. , but still honestly put it back in front of Huai Mingmo.

Huai Mingmo picked up the wooden box and sniffed it carefully. He smelled the freshness of the mountain grass after the rain, and the cold fragrance of Meng Chun's ice and snow. He asked calmly, "Is the pill transparent?"

Xu Sheng smiled and said leisurely: "Yes."

"Master Xu Sheng's gift, Ming Mo really can't accept it." Huai Mingmo closed the wooden box lid, intending to hand it back to Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng has sharp eyes and hands and quickly stopped Huai Mingmo's movements, "They are all external things, and they are given to those who are destined."

"Xinli, what kind of medicine is this?" Luo Chen saw that the color of the medicine was strange, it was really not an ordinary thing, and after hearing what the pavilion master said he liked, Luo Chen became more and more curious.

Xinli lowered his voice, affirming his previous doubts: "Yu Qiongsheng."

"Yu Qiongsheng?!" Luo Chen forgot the surrounding environment for a moment due to surprise, and shouted three words loudly. There are often martial arts figures in Yishuiju, and as expected, some people immediately cast greedy eyes.

Xinli secretly scolded Luo Chen for bad things, and deliberately amplified his voice: "I don't know if this holy medicine rumored in the martial arts exists or not."

Luo Chen raised his voice and said sarcastically: "If you can find it, it won't be your turn, so stop daydreaming."

The people downstairs heard that the people upstairs were only discussing Yu Qiongsheng, gradually lost interest, and then focused on the wonderful story of the storyteller, a few whispered about it, but they didn't look this way anymore.Luo Chen patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Is this really Yu Qiongsheng?" He fixed his eyes on Xusheng, seeing that the other party did not evade his questioning gaze at all.

"Is it delicious?"

"Do you want to take it?" Xu Sheng looked at the girl who blocked his way last time with a light smile, saw her hesitate for a moment and shook his head, then turned his eyes back to Huai Mingmo, "If Mr. Huai trusts the poor monk, take this pill , use the inner breath to recuperate for two days. If you don’t believe it, just find a place and throw it away. It’s getting late, and the poor monk has to go back to rest.”

Huai Mingmo decisively took out the pill from the wooden box and put it into his own mouth. This kind of risk taking is not his usual style, but he doesn't want to disappoint Xu Sheng, that's all.Xu Sheng was startled slightly, chuckled and walked away slowly, his feet were silent.It's just that now Huai Mingmo's mind is confused, and the other three people are concerned about whether there is any difference in Huai Mingmo swallowing the pill hastily. No one has noticed the lightness kung fu of this Shaolin monk, which is extremely terrifying.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Xin Li looked at Huai Mingmo silently lying on the low table, and said anxiously, "Hurry up and spit out the medicine."

Huai Mingmo stopped Luo Chen who was about to go out to chase Xu Sheng, and silently exercised his skills and adjusted his breath for a cup of tea, slowly resting his breath, calm and calm as before, "Yu Qiongsheng really lives up to its reputation."

Xin Li raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the direction Xu Sheng left with emotion, and muttered: "This monk Xu Sheng is too generous."

"Anyway, the young master got a bargain." Zang Li had a pure mind, without the twists and turns of an adult.

Huai Mingmo touched Zang Li's forehead, who was kneeling beside him, and said with a light smile, "Go back, I know you're hungry." When he entered Yishuiju, Huaimingmo was still exhausted, but when he walked out of Yipinju, he was exhausted. Changed appearance, at least it is no longer a somewhat sullen appearance.

"Pavilion Master, you are finally back. Mr. Jia just came and said that he has something to report to the Pavilion Master tomorrow." Zheng Fengnian's heart fell to the ground, and seeing Luo Chen's complacent expression, even Xinli couldn't hide his joy, Feeling more and more strange, "What happened?"

Luo Chen's words were like a sluice that couldn't be closed, and he narrated the experience of living in Yishui in an eloquent manner.At first, Zheng Fengnian only felt regret that he didn't see the rumored Miao Monk, but he was stunned in disbelief after hearing that, seeing the expressions of Xinli and Huai Mingmo convinced that Luo Chen was not lying, he immediately regretted that he didn't go with him, and didn't see it with his own eyes. Seeing Yu Qiongsheng's face, he beat his chest regretfully.

There was chatter in the room for quite a while, usually capable and prudent people, but because of a pill, they became like a woman in the market, of course, most of them were curious about Xu Sheng, after all the martial arts rumors made Xu Sheng wear Zeng hazy tulle, seeing After meeting, not only failed to lift the veil, but made this wonderful monk even more mysterious.Only Huai Mingmo didn't participate in their discussion, he sat alone in the top chair by the window, his handsome face looked up to the sky as if he was looking at the moon and heart, and the faint sandalwood fragrance from his nose didn't seem to have dissipated.

The author has something to say:

I owe half a chapter to make up, sorry
