Poor monks do not break the precepts

Huai Mingmo followed down the mountain at the end, turning his head involuntarily after a couple of steps, as if he was looking forward to, waiting for someone, or even in a daze.There were several times when Xinli looked back and saw no one, so he had to ask Zichang to wait on the spot, and went back to find him on his own way, repeatedly urging Huai Mingmo to leave behind.

It was already the third watch when we returned to the wing room in the temple, no matter how much we talked, after a whole night of tossing, the whole house lacked interest and energy to talk, and there was nothing to talk until dawn.

The next morning, the young monks in the temple came to deliver breakfast. I didn’t want the people in the room to wake up earlier than the little monks who cleaned up the temple. It’s just that they all had bruises under their eyes, and they thought they didn’t rest well the night before.Since he was a distinguished guest in the temple, the young monk didn't dare to neglect, so he asked a few more questions about whether the temple treated him poorly. Although Huai Mingmo was very polite, he still reported it to the monk Xujing who was in charge of the temple's internal affairs.

Ji Deen covered his mouth and yawned again and again, complaining: "The Fragrance Pirates are really good at timing, they don't come early or late, they don't come until I get to the temple, which made me busy last night, and I'm tired and sore today."

"Who told you to join in the fun, as soon as you heard the name of Xiang Pirates, you rushed out to watch the fun." Xinli didn't sympathize with Ji Deen at all, and said bluntly: "You asked for it."

"Please, this is an incense thief. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to open the door to take a look." Ji Deen thought about the wasted work of the night before, and stamped his feet under the dining table in frustration, "After chasing for a long time, there was no one." It's a pity for me to take a fancy to it, and I probably won't have this chance in the future."

Seeing him sighing and sighing, Xinli couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said in disgust, "The Fragrant Pirates have brought a lot of trouble to the Hermitage Villa, why are you still acting like this?"

"The Fragrant Pirate just stole this fake cheat book, but he wasn't the one who really caused the trouble. It would be unfair to blame him entirely." Huai Mingmo said, sounding grandiose but also selfish.

"Not bad, not bad, I don't know where this boy Xinli got his grievances, and he blamed it all on the Fragrant Pirates." Ji Deen agreed.

"Who saw incense robbers in the temple last night?" Zheng Fengnian thought about it all night, feeling more and more strange, and said cautiously: "Although the one we have been chasing for a long time is dressed in black, but in terms of martial arts, it looks like That female swordsman in red. So, where is the incense thief? What is she doing? She sent her subordinates down to the temple to make trouble, for what purpose?"

Huai Mingmo had a thousand doubts in his heart, he was suddenly awakened by Zheng Fengnian, and hurriedly issued an order: "Brother Zheng, please go to the temple to inquire immediately, you must be quick, and you must find the monk who saw the incense thief yesterday."

Ji Deen swallowed his mouth full of food, and said suspiciously: "If anyone in the temple has seen the incense thief, there will be news. There is no need to rush to inquire."

"People say what they say, but I'm afraid that many monks will say that they have seen incense robbers."

Ji Deen became more and more confused, and frowned slightly: "Mingmo monks don't tell lies, let alone this is Shaolin, don't talk nonsense."

Xinli knew clearly that Huai Mingmo suspected people, and because of lack of evidence and evidence, he could not slander them with empty words, so he said: "It's not that I'm afraid that the people in the temple will tell lies, but I'm sure no one will deliberately lead them to make the monks in the temple think they saw Over the incense thief."

"Could it be that the Fragrant Pirates never came to Shaolin yesterday?" Ji Deen asked without knowing it. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and his voice lowered a lot. "You don't suspect that the Fragrant Pirates are from Shaolin, right?"

"Of course not." Huai Mingmo denied it flatly, and said in a calm tone: "The investigation is true, so as not to prevent someone from pretending to be a incense thief and committing crimes."

"Master Biao, don't forget that in the martial arts world recently, there are quite a few youngsters who use incense to steal their names and commit misdeeds."

Speaking of this matter, Ji Deen was annoyed for no reason, and said indignantly: "It's full of rumors about incense thieves stealing gold and silver. I’m talking nonsense, I wish the Four Great Sects and the Yinshi Villa would take action and end up with the Fragrant Pirates. I really suspect that someone did it deliberately, intending to set the blame on.”

"Are you fighting for the incense thief?" Xinli thought Ji Deen's reaction was funny, but also felt that this behavior was despicable, so he didn't refute it.

There are a lot of monks in Shaolin, except for a few eminent monks, Zheng Fengnian almost asked them one by one, it took almost half the morning to return to his room.After asking all morning, Zheng Fengnian felt his mouth was dry, and the first time he stepped into the room, he picked up the teapot and drank tea to quench his thirst.

When the people in the room got impatient, Zheng Fengnian said slowly: "After we chased after the female swordsman last night, several monks guarding near the Sutra Pavilion saw a black shadow rushing out of the pavilion. The method is treacherous, and after leaving, he brought a wisp of fragrance from the falling moon. Master Xu Wu fought against this person at the gate of Shaolin Temple. After I asked Master Xu Wu carefully, I am [-]% sure that the man is the incense thief."

"How come?" Huai Mingmo blurted out, but couldn't say anything else.

Ji Deen's eyes moved slightly. He was not a stupid person, so he naturally saw Huai Mingmo's strange behavior, but he didn't ask any more questions, instead he laughed and said regretfully, "I knew why I was chasing that female swordsman. It is a pity, a pity, a pity."

"Based on Young Master Biao's lightness skills, it's hard to take a look at him." Xin Li ruthlessly exposed, glanced at Huai Mingmo from time to time, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Huai Mingmo listened quietly to the movement in the monastery, amidst the murmur of murmurs, "Brother Zheng, why is the Sutra Pavilion so noisy?"

Zheng Fengnian immediately replied: "Last night, the Fragrance Pirates didn't know what they were doing in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, and the Buddhist scriptures pavilion was turned into a mess. When I went there, Master Xuci was leading his disciples to sort it out."

"I once heard from Monk Xu Ci that Master Xu Ci was a closed disciple of the Poison King before he became a monk." Ji Deen said casually: "I don't know if he understands the extremes of sorrow and happiness. If Master Xu Ci knows, maybe he can find out One or two clues."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was enlightened. Huai Mingmo straightened up abruptly, with impatience that had never been seen on his face, "Brother Zheng, let's go, take me to the Sutra Pavilion."

"Pavilion master be careful." Xin Li quickly helped Huai Mingmo who was almost caught by the threshold.

Huai Mingmo's steps were so fast that he almost didn't use his lightness skills to fly over the eaves and walls of Shaolin Temple.At first, the other three could barely follow behind, but they were gradually put aside, and the Shaolin practice site is not suitable for unreasonable interruptions with kung fu. In the end, Ji Deen simply slowed down and walked slowly.

There are quite a few monks walking around in the Buddhist scripture pavilion, and the scriptures are scattered all over the floor, and they seem to have been deliberately messed up. It is really not easy to put them back together.

"Amitabha, the Buddhist scripture pavilion is an important place in the temple, and it is inconvenient for the donor to come in and out at will."

Two wooden sticks crossed in front of Huai Mingmo, not giving him any room to move forward.Huai Mingmo was in a daze for a moment, and was about to rush in. When he came to his senses, he realized that he was reckless. He hurriedly took two steps back, made up the courtesy, and said calmly: "Huai has something to ask Master Xuci, and I would like to ask you two to let me know Voice."

The monk guarding the pavilion took back the wooden stick, one of them saluted, and said politely: "Young Master, please wait outside for a while." After finishing speaking, he signaled to another monk, then turned and went into the pavilion to seek Xuci's report.

After waiting for about one stick of incense, three monks walked out from the Sutra Pavilion. The one leading the way was Xuci's disciple Zixiang, and Xuci followed behind.

"Master Huai hastily came to look for my senior brother, what's the matter?"

Seeing Xu Sheng, Xin Li was very surprised, full of doubts and had no place to ask, and raised his brows slightly: "Why is Master Xu Sheng in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion?"

The words are so unreasonable, the hostility in the tone is really obvious, even Xu Ci who is beside him frowned slightly, and put his hand on Xu Sheng's right shoulder involuntarily, wanting to pull Xu Sheng back and protect himself behind.Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng is not afraid or arrogant, the corners of his mouth are lightly raised, and his tone is soft like the spring breeze in April, "The poor monk is a monk of Shaolin Temple. I heard that people made trouble in the temple last night, so I wanted to come to help after my morning class. I happened to pass by the Buddhist scriptures pavilion. The pavilion has been turned into a mess, if you don’t enter the pavilion to help your brother tidy it up, why don’t you just stand by and watch?”

"It's really unreasonable." Ji Deen patted the back of Xinli's head, and blocked Xinli from the corner of his eyes, "Master Xusheng ignores him, and I don't know if he took the wrong medicine. He has been innocent since early in the morning. Don't take it to heart." , not counting villains."

Xu Sheng looked at Ji Deen silently, and smiled lightly, as if he didn't notice the suspicion in those eyes at all.

Zheng Fengnian and Xu Sheng haven't had a few face-to-face photos, and the impression of him has always been that he is a gentle monk, until just now he felt that Xu Sheng was terrifying, his calm expression made it hard to fathom, which shows the depth of the city.Right now, even the monk Xuci's face has changed slightly, not to mention the young monk next to him who has practiced for a short time, but this person seems to have ignored him, not to mention frowning and showing displeasure, he can still talk as usual with a smile.

"I heard that several benefactors have business with the poor monk, so it's not convenient to talk here." Xuci turned his head to Zixiang and said, "You are here to take care of things, come over after talking for the master and benefactor."

Huai Mingmo turned around and was about to follow, but suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Xu Sheng...Master, aren't you coming together?"

Xu Sheng couldn't guess the purpose of their urgent search for Xu Ci, and rashly following them would be too conspicuous, so instead of arousing suspicion, it's better to send someone to investigate afterwards.Xu Sheng was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he heard Xu Ci, who was walking in the front, said: "Junior brother, come together, I can leave the matter of the Sutra Pavilion to Zixiang."

With such an invitation, it would be deliberate to evade it, Xu Sheng replied indifferently: "Yes."

"What is the purpose of Xiang Pirates coming to the Sutra Pavilion? Xu Sheng, do you know?" Huai Mingmo slowed down and walked side by side with Xu Sheng.

"Xiang Pirate went to the Sutra Pavilion yesterday?" Xu Sheng was very surprised, his breath suddenly became chaotic, and after a long time he regained his composure and asked, "Where did you hear the news?"

"Don't you know?" Huai Mingmo was taken aback by Xu Sheng's reaction, and carefully discerned the truth in his tone, "Brother Zheng got the news from the Dharma Academy this morning, and confirmed it with Master Xu Wu in person. .Master Xuwu explained the martial arts methods of the opponents last night, which is undoubtedly the incense thief."

How could it be... Xu Sheng was speechless for a long time, cold sweat broke out from his palms at some point, and the coolness came from the soles of his feet.As far as lightness kung fu is concerned, he can still guess that it was Hua Xinglou who helped him, but he knows the foundation of Xu Wu, if Hua Xing Lou wants to fight Xu Wu with the magical power of Mingxiang, it is difficult for him to be his opponent, if he is entangled, it will be difficult to escape.Who is that pretending to be what?And why should you help yourself?Xu Sheng was silent for a long time, unable to come to a conclusion, when he suddenly felt a hand around his wrist, he glanced at the jade-like finger, and silently withdrew his hand, "Xiang Robber and I have never met each other, we don't know each other, How would you know that incense thieves come and go?"

"Then how do you know that Fragrant Pirates will go to Wuwangya?"

"I can't figure it out, just in case."

Huai Mingmo snorted softly, and said with a light smile, "Such a coincidence?"

"No coincidence is a book. Fate comes and meets, and fate goes away." Xu Sheng stared sideways at Huai Mingmo, with a slight softness between his brows, and said with a smile: "Yipinju acquaintance, could it be that Mr. Huai deliberately followed the poor monk?"

"There are so many coincidences in the world. It is fate for me, but fate may not be destiny, it may be man-made." Huai Mingmo expressed his inner knot, and suddenly snorted and said: "Don't forget, Concubine Wan and Your Majesty The meeting is a chance, but also a layout. You can tell me, what is the fate, what is the situation."

"Man-made or God-ordained, without man-made can not see."

Ji Deen heard the muttering behind him, couldn't help slowing down, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you whispering behind?"

"It's nothing." Huai Mingmo quickened his pace a little, leaving the two behind to follow Xin Li.

In the eyes of everyone, Huai Mingmo is a gentle and gentle son of aristocratic family, not to mention making a disrespectful move, even if he frowns angrily, he will not show it in front of others.Now he suddenly made a willful move, which surprised Ji Deen, and stared back and forth.

Xu Sheng smiled lightly and shook his head in response, and only said: "It's really all right."

Ji De'en's stubbornness withdrew, Zhuang Su's eyes were fixed on Xu Sheng, and he rarely looked serious, "The magic of the wonderful monk lies in his talent or his status? I don't want to know, I only recognize my wonderful monk as Friend." There was a slight setback, and he said slightly sadly: "Huaiming Mo's heart is as clear as a mirror, and he makes friends with sincerity, and I hope he will be merciful."

It was expected to be noticed, Xu Sheng's face was calm, he looked at Ji Deen with a half-understanding light smile, he was as clean as snow falling from the sky, which made it impossible to associate it with insidiousness.Ji Deen silently stared at the familiar and unfamiliar person in front of him, suddenly felt that he had misunderstood something, and the next moment he felt that the person in front of him was unpredictable.

Looking at each other for a long time without words, Ji Deen wanted to say something more, when a kind voice came from a distance, "Come in."
