Poor monks do not break the precepts

The people don't fight with the officials, no matter how rampant they are in the Jianghu, once the official affairs are involved, everyone will avoid it as much as possible.So hearing this young prince's self-proclaimed, many martial arts practitioners who had just cast a cold look, trembled in fright, and lowered their eyes, as if if they looked at him one more time, their own eyeballs would be lost.

Mr. Ji looked like the head of the family, bowed slightly without being humble or overbearing, and saluted the young prince as a peer, "Long time no see, sixth prince, how is your concubine?"

The sixth prince turned sideways, unwilling to accept Mr. Ji's salute, and said with a smile: "My concubine is very good. Last time, I told me about the walnut and jujube cake that Mr. Ji brought when he entered the palace. He said it tasted like home." He saluted the heads of several major sects, left everyone and went straight to Xusheng, and said with a brisk smile: "The tribute that Gongzhou just entered was sent by my father, so I brought it to you." .”

"Thank you." Everyone in the world knows that the Miao Monk has many friends, and everyone in the martial arts world is not surprised when they see this, but Xu Sheng is rather cautious.

Meng Xiuran was used to Xu Sheng's aloof appearance, so he intentionally made things difficult for Xu Sheng in front of the public, seeing that he had achieved his goal, he suppressed a smile and walked back.Seeing this, Xin Li whispered in Huai Mingmo's ear: "It seems that this wonderful monk not only has many friends in the martial arts world, but also has many friends in Beijing and China."

Huai Mingmo's thoughts were all on Xu Sheng, and he naturally felt the change in Xu Sheng's aura just now. He felt a little taste in his heart, but he said strangely: "His skills cannot be learned by others." Xinli didn't expect the Pavilion Master to say that After these sour words, he smiled and looked at Zheng Fengnian who also heard the words, and did not answer his words.

During the conversation, Meng Xiuran had already walked into the group of heroes, and disdainfully glanced at a group of so-called martial arts heroes, and said indifferently: "I don't know if you have any objections, senior martial arts? Xiao Wang came here today because he was ordered by his father." I came here to mourn Master Kujie, and secondly, I am honoring my father's order to resolve the recent disputes and conflicts in the Wulin, and it is also to repay the unjust injustice of the hidden world villa." Meng Xiuran's eyes revealed a burst of coldness, more than this cold snow The sky is even more penetrating, "After today, there will be no gossip in the temple or in the martial arts. If there are any more rumors that slander the hidden world villa and the imperial concubine, the imperial court will definitely punish them severely."

The incident has become so violent that it is well-known to martial arts people that the imperial court will intervene, but no one expected that such rumors still failed to shake the status of the Hermitage Villa in Emperor Meng's mind, or that Meng Xiu Dye deliberately so that no one can see it.

The gilded copper stove in the front yard was full of incense, and the smoke curled up straight up. The wind in the yard was suddenly quiet, as if the people in the yard had stopped breathing.No matter whether it is against the Hermitage Villa or against the Hermitage Villa, they are all silent, neither agreeing nor objecting, everyone is waiting for the other party to speak, so as to restrain the silence and catch the enemy's attack. handle.

Martial arts Zhengdao said that there are many factions, but there are only a few of them that can really catch people's eyes. They seem to be the leaders of the gangs who have clamored for the hidden world villa just now.In the silence, Ding Zixu stepped forward slowly, and gave a big gift to Meng Xiuran, his tone concealed seven points of arrogance, and said humbly: "This turmoil has reached such a level, it is really great that the court can come forward to solve it." It’s just a matter of fact. With the many grievances and slanders that Hermitage Villa has suffered recently, the Sixth Prince opened his mouth and finally cleared away the clouds and mist and rectified his reputation.”

Meng Xiuran glanced coldly, and said with a light smile, "Who are you?"

On the surface, this was considered polite, but after thinking about it carefully, he was scolding Ding Zixu for nothing, and it was not his turn to talk and make peace.Xu Sheng understood Meng Xiuran's temper to some extent, and snorted and laughed in a low voice, but still did not escape Huai Mingmo's ear.

The corner of Ding Zixu's lips twitched slightly, but he held his breath and said with a smile: "The sixth prince, my name is Ding Zixu, and he is just an ordinary white-clothed man."

Seeing Ding Zixu's cold reception, the troublemakers resentfully did not dare to say more, even a few timid hypocrites who were afraid of getting involved, walked out of the corner gate in the rush and disappeared without a trace.The few left behind were the ones who made the noise just now, and now they wanted to slip away, but they couldn't get away.

Seeing that the chaos has calmed down, and the remaining few people will hardly make waves, they said in relief: "Please, sixth prince."

"Since I'm here, I should also go into the hall to pay my respects." While speaking, Meng Xiuran proudly looked in the direction where Xu Sheng was standing, but he didn't see Xu Sheng.Unable to invite merit, Meng Xiuran was a little disappointed, and his tone was a little cold, "Go back early, don't come to Shaolin to make trouble again, if there is a next time, I will definitely not forgive you."

The crowd was like snowflakes covering the bluestone slabs, and the strong wind swept past and dispersed, leaving three or two wild cats, who seemed afraid of Ding Zixu and dared not leave.As for the self-righteous Ding Zixu, who didn't get the limelight, not only exposed himself, but also caused a mess. At this time, he looked at Meng Xiuran's back with a livid face.

"Let's go!" The master gave the order, and the obedient soldiers of course would not give these Jianghu people any good looks, and ran them out of the temple with a cold tone as if they were escorting prisoners.

Huai Mingmo couldn't see the faces of those Jianghu people in front of him, and he seemed to be able to see them all vividly.He showed a bit of worry, and sighed: "Hey, the sixth prince has good intentions, but doing so is also helping the hidden world villa to make enemies."

Xin Li's words were not as polite as Huai Mingmo said, and he said in a low voice: "This prince is too careless in doing things, he only cares about venting his anger, trying to speak quickly, and doesn't think about the current situation of the Hermitage Villa."

"The Sixth Prince has relatively little experience in the court and the Jianghu, so he is not as thoughtful as his older brothers. Besides, he is here now by order. Although he did not hold an imperial edict, he came here by imperial order. That's why I don't take others seriously. The Sixth Prince's original intention was to rescue the hidden world villa, and it was an unintentional mistake." Mr. Ji pressed Huai Mingmo's thin shoulder with one hand, and said more and more distressed: "You are too thoughtful. , there is a mother in the hidden world villa, so you can rest assured."

Huai Mingmo blamed himself, "If it wasn't for my unfavorable care, the Hermitage Villa wouldn't have caused so much trouble."

Shaolin received female guests for the first time in the past few days, Ji Duorui was worried that An Jingyue would be alone, so he always brought An Jingyue by his side.An Jingyue heard Huai Mingmo's words, and said with a soft smile: "The family is not troublesome."

Mr. Ji chuckled and said in response: "That is, which households don't support each other and help each other to live together? Hidden World Villa is no exception."

With a warm smile, An Jingyue stretched out her hand to hook Ji Duorui, and found that her husband was staring at a corner of the hall, and asked softly, "What are you looking at, so engrossed?"

Mr. Ji glanced at the direction Ji Duorui was looking at, Guo was also attracted by the soldiers who occasionally talked with Xu Sheng, and whispered: "This man..."

"Second sister also looks familiar?" Ji Duorui had a rare seriousness on his face.

Mr. Ji nodded slightly, but she had been in contact with too many people in the world, so she couldn't think of this person for a while, and said: "Although this person is arrogant, he can be seen as a character. "

Huai Mingmo thought for a while and said, "Mother, since this person was brought by the sixth prince, is he the captain of the sixth prince's mansion?"

Ji Duorui observed carefully for a long time, shook his head and said in disapproval: "It's not like that, a school captain in a small prince's mansion is more imposing than the master, it really can't be justified." Rui couldn't help teasing: "Since you are getting close to Miao Monk, why not... Third Uncle gives you an idea to solve your mother's confusion."

Not waiting for Huai Mingmo to resist and refuse, Ji Yintong kicked his third brother moderately, Qingling's voice was occasionally rough and said: "Don't spoil my son."

Martial arts practitioners are bound to get injured on a daily basis. Ji Duorui has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has been accustomed to bumps and bruises.But just now, Ji Duorui's calf was sore after receiving the deliberate punishment from his elder sister, that kick with two points of internal strength, and his gritted teeth turned pale instantly.

Ji Duorui has a good face, one is to be brave in front of his beautiful wife, and the other is that he doesn't want to disturb the quietness of the Buddhist family, so he gritted his teeth, smiled embarrassingly, and said a few words: "It's cold outside, let's go into the hall."

Shaolin is not considered a national temple, but its reputation is extremely high, and since people came to the temple, Meng Xiuran didn't have the reason to walk around in the front yard and leave. He was guided by suffering, and he worshiped all the Buddha statues in the treasure hall devoutly.He also heard that there would be a ceremony for the new abbot in the evening, and out of curiosity, or because he had other things to do, he gladly accepted the invitation to stay with each other in adversity.

The grand ceremony for the election of a new abbot in Shaolin has always been a major event in the martial arts. Needless to say, the other sects will definitely come together, and the various martial arts sects will also come to congratulate, but today it seems a little deserted.Due to the incident at noon, many sects were driven out of Jishi Mountain by the sixth prince's personal soldiers, leaving only a few righteous sects, less than [-]% of what they used to be.A fake XingXiu sword manual and an outrageous treasure rumor have become a magic mirror in the martial arts world, which inevitably makes people feel embarrassing.

Among the monks of the Xu generation, the most prestigious ones are Xu Dao and Xu Wu. However, the two are similar in age and have extremely high levels of cultivation.

Xu Sheng grew up in the temple, and he is a disciple of Master Kujie and Master Xuankong, if he said that he never coveted the Shaolin presidency, he is just deceiving himself and others.It's just that the sudden death of Kujie was like icy snow outside the temple, suddenly pouring on Xu Sheng's burning ambitions, which made him suddenly sober and lost the thought of fighting for power.

Because the sixth prince hadn't left yet, the temple was surrounded by soldiers under martial law, but anyone they stared at was uncomfortable as if they were looking at an assassin.Fortunately, Xu Sheng is a monk in the temple and is well-known in the world, so the guards in the courtyard outside the hall did not pay much attention to Xu Sheng.Xu Sheng, who quietly left the main hall, purposely bypassed the crowd, picked a place with few people and came to a side room in the temple, pushed open a crack in the door and said with a smile: "You still don't worry and come in person."

"How is she?" A hoarse and vicissitudes voice came from the room, the voice was not loud, but it could make people outside the room feel a sense of shocking pressure.

Leaning on the back of his head against the tightly-closed carved ten thousand-character window, Xu Sheng said with a light smile: "It's okay, she's fine, but with her unruly appearance, who dares to bear grudges and offend her."

The man in the room pursed his lips and grinned. He seemed to be blaming himself but said dotingly: "I spoiled her, and let her be lawless all day long."

Xu Sheng smiled lightly, "She's still young, she's more lovable if she has a strong temper. The little girl's family restricts her to do what she can do. Besides, she is your daughter, with your father and her two capable elder brothers, how can you still let her go?" I'm worried that she will suffer in the future."

The man smiled helplessly, and said annoyedly: "She didn't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise you see, I don't care about her."

"Are you willing to wrong her? It's not bad that the jewel in your palm hasn't been manipulated into lawlessness by you." Xu Sheng didn't believe what the man in the room said at all, he squinted his eyes to observe the situation outside the Daxiong Palace, and said with a slightly dignified expression: "Talk about your family In front of the girl, you don't care about your reckless temper. Come here as a small soldier, don't forget that Mr. Ji is here, aren't you afraid of being recognized? "

The man said disapprovingly, "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. I'm so old that my face has changed a lot. I'm not afraid that she will recognize it."

Xu Sheng wondered, "How did you sneak into Meng Xiuran's guards?"

"Have you seen the man who just followed Meng Xiuran? That man is an envoy from the West Shu Kingdom. Just say a few words to him. How difficult is it to be a soldier in his house for a few days?"

Standing in the wind for a long time, Xu Sheng couldn't resist the chill even with internal protection.He stomped two steps on the spot, breathed a sigh of relief at his palms, and said with a tight grip: "I will watch over your daughter, and I will guarantee that she will return to Xishu safely and soundly. And you, go back earlier, If something happens to you outside, it will be another catastrophe."

There was a sudden silence in the room for a long time, the man didn't know what he thought of, suddenly felt his teeth and cheeks smell sweet, and said with a smile: "I haven't had time to thank you for the wine you brought."

Xu Sheng said with a half smile but not a smile: "Since when did eldest brother be so polite to me? I don't care what you do in Beimeng, as long as you don't ruin my business."

The man sneered and said, "I have a general understanding of your recent situation. Does that person need me to teach you a lesson?"

"It's not that you don't know my temperament." Xu Sheng squeezed the red sandalwood Buddha beads on his left wrist with two fingers, even though he was secretly hating, he still smiled like Maitreya, "The future will be bright..."

The door of the room was slowly opened, and a man in the uniform of the royal guard walked out slowly. It was the man Mr. Ji discussed just now.This man is about 40 years old, still has gorgeous hair and thick eyebrows. Although there are a few fine lines on the corners of his eyes, he is still heroic and unrestrained. A domineering king.

The hands full of thick calluses squeezed Xu Sheng's shoulders, and said with a light smile: "Well, if you need anything, you can come to me anytime."

"Okay." Xu Sheng heard the rustling sound of stepping on the snow, and said cautiously: "Let's go."

Not long after the man left, two figures appeared at the corner. It turned out that Huai Mingmo came with Xin Li.There was a little worry on Huai Mingmo's face, his steps were not as calm as usual, as if he was anxiously looking for someone in the temple.The weather is cold and cold, and the bluestone road in the courtyard is covered with a thin layer of ice due to the wet snow when it first fell, and because of the snowfall for several days, the snowy road is becoming more and more difficult to walk on.Xin Li carefully walked forward with Huai Mingmo on his arm, paying full attention to the situation on the ground, and did not notice Xu Sheng not far away.

Seeing that Huai Mingmo's face was slightly pale, Xu Sheng knew that it was because of his hard work recently, and also knew that he was causing trouble for others, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.He hastily dealt with the traces of people around him, walked towards the two people quickly, and said with a smile: "It's cold, ordinary people can't stand walking around, why did you run out?"
