Poor monks do not break the precepts

Huai Mingmo sat around the charcoal basin to keep warm, his hands outstretched in the air were red with cold.Xinli took the warm-up soup brought by Xu Sheng, blew on it to make it colder, and handed it to Huai Mingmo, and immediately said politely: "Master Xu Sheng, please trouble me."

Xu Sheng brought a large cloak and carefully put it on Huai Mingmo's body, his hands and feet were extremely gentle, "The Buddhist temple is hard to practice, and there is no silver carbon for heating in the temple's wing rooms. The people in the temple are also gathered in the main hall to discuss important matters, so it is not appropriate to ask my little senior brother to come here specially." To open the warehouse, I have to ask you to take a few more steps to the thatched cottage." Looking closely at Huai Mingmo's expression, Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "What do you want me to do?"

Holding the cloak on his shoulders lightly in an attempt to feel the different warmth in Shicai's palm, Huai Mingmo's expression was calm, the previous anxiety melted away like thin snow under the warm winter sun, "Are you okay."

At the beginning of Xu Sheng's life, he was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Xin Li was just as clueless as himself, so he had to think about it for himself.Suddenly Xu Sheng frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Feeling the change of the breath on the side, like the sky outside the house is gloomy and gloomy, Huai Mingmo wished he could not see him, and suddenly had the urge to take Xu Sheng into his arms.Trying to restrain himself, Huai Mingmo said more tenderly: "I know your expectation for the Shaolin host, but it may be a shackle for you, and I don't know."

The hands that were baking and warming were still a little reddish, Xu Sheng glanced at them, sprinkled some water on the silver charcoal in the copper basin, looked at the phantom white smoke, and said calmly like water: "Pure land should not have obsessions, I'm really fine."

"That's good." Huai Mingmo took a small sip of the warm soup in the bowl, and didn't say any more.

The room suddenly became quiet. This kind of tranquility is comfortable and no one wants to break it, and it is a bit embarrassing for no reason.

Xin Li silently waited in the corner, and saw his pavilion master's cheeks were reddish, as if he had been warmed by the heat of the charcoal fire.I also saw the wonderful monk who had been rejecting people for thousands of miles on weekdays, suddenly pulled into the distance with people, and sat uncomfortably, as if he was contaminated by the mundane smoke.

The bell at the bottom of the cliff rang repeatedly, even if he didn't go out to find out what happened, Xu Sheng knew that the Shaolin host had been selected.The turmoil in his heart for a long time was not reconciled, as if the bell gradually dissipated, staring at the red-hot silver carbon, Xu Sheng felt calmer than ever before.

Chu Yuanhe took off his shoes and entered the room, took off the superficial disguise, revealed the appearance of an old urchin, and said with a smile: "You don't care about the selection of a new host by your sect."

The Withered Grass Cottage has never been so lively, Xu Sheng sat in the middle hall a little unaccustomed, and the people in front of him were all relatives, so he couldn't control his attitude towards others for a while, so he just smiled and replied: "Senior brothers Xu Dao and Xu Wu, No matter who it is, it is the best candidate to succeed Master."

Tan Mingyang stood in front of the calligraphy and painting that he hadn't seen before, and said absently, "How can you be sure that the new hosts are the two of them?"

Xu Sheng glanced at Mr. Ji intentionally or unintentionally out of the corner of his eyes, feeling really uncomfortable being scrutinized, he remained calm and said: "Uncle Shi is very thoughtful, no matter who is the new host, I am completely convinced."

Huai Mingmo sensed Xu Sheng's uneasiness, and interrupted with a smile: "Mother and several seniors gathered here to Master Xu Sheng, what is the reason?"

Mr. Ji withdrew his gaze from observing Xu Sheng, exchanged glances with Ji Duorui, and said with a serious face: "I heard that Huiji Lianxin has been walking around the rivers and lakes recently, may this be the case?"

Just as Xu Sheng expected, Lian Xin Hui Ji's recent actions are ostentatious, how could she escape the eyes of the group in front of her.Xu Sheng thought of Lian Xin Huiji's words the night before, seeing that she had been noticed, he felt relieved, and couldn't help worrying that he wanted to send more people to protect Huai Mingmo.

Chu Yuanhe's expression was heavy, his tone was a bit cold, and he said solemnly: "We didn't see Lian Xin Huiji herself, but we saw a group of girls with the same martial arts skills as her." Thinking of the tragic ending of the Qingfeng School in the past, Chu Yuanhe said angrily: "Didn't she toss enough about the bloody storm in the martial arts back then?"

Mr. Ji stared fixedly at Xu Sheng, trying to get some clues from his face, but in the end, he couldn't help doubting his suspicion, "I will never die, if she wants to remain as obsessed as before this time, then even if she catches up to her Tianya, I can't let it go."

The Xiaotian Department of Xuanji Pavilion records many events in the world. The Qingfeng faction extermination case that caused a sensation in the martial arts world will be recorded several times. The mastermind behind the scenes, Lianxin Huiji, cannot escape the writing.When Huai Mingmo first entered the cabinet and took over, he had studied the important events of the age hidden by the Xiaotian Ministry day and night, and of course he would not miss this important event, so he was confused: "Mr. Butterfly is an old friend of my mother, and I want to know about Lianxin Huiji , why don't you ask him?"

Xu Sheng has secretly investigated Mr. Butterfly's situation for many years, and he is well aware of the reason, but it is inconvenient to tell him.

Mr. Ji felt quite helpless, thinking of his old friend's temper, and remembering the ruthlessness of the past, how could he pull his face down and ask hard, and said with a wry smile: "He, wandering around the Canglang River all day long, it's not easy to find him." .And it's already an adult, I'm afraid I can't find any clues, so why bother him about these things."

"After retiring from the martial arts world, he seldom shows up again." Tan Mingyang turned around, his expression flickering and avoiding, "But it's really unreasonable for him not to come today."

It is well known in the world that Butterfly Lord Qin Yu'an was once a close friend with the head of the great Jianghu sect, and even with Shaolin abbot Kujie, the abbot of Shaolin.

Taoist Shiku stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the snow scene outside the house, he disagreed and said: "He has been hidden for many years, it doesn't matter if he hasn't heard of it or he doesn't want to come out. He has a heart to mourn, and it's the same everywhere."

In the withered grass hut, sandalwood lingers constantly around the tip of the nose, even Huai Mingmo can hardly smell other smells, but Xu Sheng smells a familiar fragrance from Tan Mingyang.

"Today, the Sixth Prince brought the Imperial Order to calm down the chaos. The Hermitage Villa finally has time to breathe."

When Mr. Ji entered the room, most of his attention was on Xu Sheng, but when he heard what Chu Yuanhe said, he was fascinated, and said with a smile: "The one who cleans himself cleans himself."

Ji Duorui stared at Xu Sheng, and said with a smile: "It's strange, the Fragrant Pirate who appeared frequently a while ago suddenly disappeared, as if the world had evaporated."

"Everyone in the martial arts is looking for incense robbers, it's normal for her to hide." Taoist Shi Ku took the tea that Xu Sheng handed over, and said with a gentle smile: "You have a lot of friends, why don't you know incense robbers?"

Xu Sheng smiled slightly, and said honestly: "I also want to make friends with him, but unfortunately I can't find a chance."

Tapping his knuckles lightly on the wall beside him to count, Tan Mingyang said with a smile: "The painting that the incense thief worked so hard to steal is here with you, but she didn't come to take it?"

"The Fragrant Pirate gave the gift to the poor monk himself in the back mountain. There are heaven and earth as evidence, and Mr. Huai is a lesson." Xu Sheng took a deep look at Huai Mingmo, and said as if asking for help: "On the day the Fragrant Robber broke into the temple, Mr. Huai was at the temple. Beside the poor monk, if you don't believe me, you can ask him what happened."

Although Huai Mingmo didn't look at it, he probably knew which painting the two of them were talking about, and said calmly: "The Fragrant Pirates personally admitted that they left the Cangyan Snow Scenery Picture in the West Sea, and said that they would give it to Master Xu Sheng as an apology." As if deliberately defending Xu Sheng, Huai Mingmo described in detail the situation of the Fragrant Pirates breaking into Shaolin at night to the withered grass hut, explaining every detail clearly.

Xu Sheng sneered slightly and said: "Did you hear that? I won't let you secretly suspect me."

Chu Yuanhe waved his hands loudly and laughed, and said frankly: "It's not that I want to suspect you, it's just that the incense thief took the risk to break into the heavily guarded Dingxi Palace, and I heard that he was almost caught and injured when he stole the Cangyan Snow Scenery Map. It can be seen that she loves this painting, but she gave it to you like this, which is really unbelievable."

"Xiang Pirates have never acted in accordance with the rules and mavericks, and the old brother is suspicious." Knowing his son is like his mother, Mr. Ji does not pierce Huai Mingmo's thoughts, and glances at Xu Sheng's calm face from time to time, "Actually, in the final analysis, this matter The matter has nothing to do with the Fragrance Pirates, what we are really looking for is the black hand who used the Fragrant Pirates to harm the Yinshi Villa."

Taoist Shi Ku nodded and said, "I guess it has something to do with Huiji Lianxin, it seems like her."

In the past, there was the revenge of his wife being assassinated repeatedly, and later the hatred of his own family. Ji Duorui hated Lianxin Huiji so much that he wanted to destroy her. to today."

Huai Ming Mo was suspicious, pondered for a while and couldn't help but ask: "If it's really Lian Xin Hui Ji, she has disappeared for many years, why did she come out to make trouble again?"

After much thought and deliberation, there was no result, and Xu Sheng did not open his mouth to show his secrets. Mr. Ji frowned slightly, showing a rare anxiety, and for the first time in his life, he felt a sense of frustration.Lianxin Huiji is a mystery, so are Miao Monk and Fragrant Pirates, as if looking at flowers in a fog, they can't be seen clearly, and if they really want to pierce it, it is impossible to start.

Tan Mingyang changed his usual temperament and became more cautious, "Huiji Lianxin didn't show up, so it's too early to make a conclusion."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Xu Sheng's mouth, and he just sat on the side as if it had nothing to do with him.When he heard Tan Mingyang's words, he raised his eyes for a moment, those black eyes seemed to be like abysses that could swallow people, staring straight at Tan Mingyang, like a leopard staring at its prey, making people tremble.

Everyone in the room was attracted by Tan Mingyang, only Xin Li accidentally caught a glimpse of Xu Sheng's expression for a moment, and couldn't help but took a deep breath.Huai Mingmo asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xin Li looked again, only to see Xu Sheng's face was indifferent, as if he was blinded by himself for a moment, he replied in a low voice: "Shicai is the real face of Miao Monk."

How could Fang's fleeting stern breath, as keen as Huai Mingmo's, not be able to feel it? It was just that he deliberately deceived himself and didn't take it seriously, but it still fell into Xin Li's eyes.Huai Mingmo felt a little bitter in his heart, and murmured silently: "Since you have escaped into Buddhism, how can you be stained with dust again?"

What a powerful internal force, to hear whispers that even Mr. Ji has never heard.Xin Li clearly saw Xu Sheng's eyes move slightly, and then glanced at Huai Mingmo from the corner of his eye, and was even more astonished at Xu Sheng's hidden secrets, "Do you want to expose him now?"

Huai Mingmo shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "Let's see again."

Unless it was absolutely necessary, the owner of his own pavilion would not hurt this wonderful monk even a single hair, obviously he knew this truth well, Xin Li was not willing to ask after all.

Mr. Ji was busy discussing countermeasures with several martial artists around him, but he saw Huai Mingmo and Xin Li muttering softly beside him, but the voice was too soft to hear half a word.Seeing Huai Mingmo's face showing a little distress, Mr. Ji said with concern: "Is it because you are not feeling well? You don't look very well."

As expected, all the people in the room looked at Huai Mingmo, looked at Huai Mingmo very uncomfortable for a moment, and said calmly and calmly: "Xin Li and I are discussing how to investigate Lianxin Huiji, but unfortunately we haven't thought of a sure way. "

"The perfect solution is not something you can think of in a short while. With your mother and uncles around, don't worry too much."

The Swastika carved window in the middle hall was pushed open by someone, and the thin cold wind blows into the room, and the clear fragrance of the ancient cypresses on the edge of the cliff flows into the nose to refresh the mind and refresh the mind.Xu Sheng dropped his feet to the ground silently, holding the jade beads in front of his chest with one hand, his expression was a little cold, and he seemed to be vaguely depressed.After a long while, he sighed and said, "Since you have scared the snake, are you still worried that you won't find any trace?"

No matter what his identity is, Xu Sheng always tries his best to hide in the dark, and when he is suddenly in full view, he is like a nighthawk fluttering under the scorching sun, appearing abrupt and treacherous.

Try to control your demeanor, Xu Sheng's expression is calm, and he speaks slowly, "There are not many killer organizations in Jianghu that use women as killers, let alone killer organizations with such distinctive characteristics. If you follow this clue, you should be able to find out Even if the relationship between this organization and Lianxin Huiji cannot be found out, as long as the investigation is in-depth, the cloud will finally be cleared. If it has nothing to do with Lianxin Huiji, then everyone's current guesses are meaningless. If it has something to do with her, we can discuss it later Wouldn't it be better how to deal with it?"

The reason he said is very simple, and it is not a secret method that others can't think of. The people in the room are all veterans who have practiced martial arts for many years.

"I'm old, my eyes are cloudy and I can't see through." Chu Yuanhe smiled with emotion: "I didn't expect that at all."

Taoist Shiku stared at Xu Sheng for a long time, teasingly said: "It's rare that you talk so much, usually when you come to my place, you are like a Jade Buddha, and you cherish words like gold."

"Play chess without saying a word." There was no extra smile on the corners of Xu Sheng's lips and eyebrows. The arc of his smile was really like a carved jade Buddha, and it was difficult to move slightly all year round. Only when it gets complicated will you forget the easiest way in Jianghu."

Mr. Ji grasped Xu Sheng's thoughts when he opened his mouth, and said quietly: "I'm used to the dirty and insidious methods of the Jianghu, and I really forgot how to be upright."

Huai Mingmo also didn't understand Xu Sheng's thoughts, so he said slowly: "This matter should not be done with great fanfare. If the mother and elders don't worry, let me handle it. As long as there is such an organization in the martial arts, even if it is hidden No matter how deep it is, I will definitely be able to find it out. When you find out the identity of the leader of this killer organization, and you can be sure that Lian Xin Huiji did it, it will not be too late for you to take action."

The old fox who has been hiding in the rivers and lakes for many years is good at watching the sky and feeling the wind and grass. If there is any movement from the four major sects and the hidden world villa, it will be even more difficult to catch this treacherous and vicious fox again.No one in the room can't figure this out. Even if Mr. Ji is worried about Huai Mingmo's safety, he has to admit that he can only do this now.

Ji Duorui saw Mr. Ji's worry, and quickly said: "Second sister, don't worry, I will help Mingmo with this matter. I seldom travel in the rivers and lakes, and not many people know me in martial arts, so it is easy to do things .”

"It seems that I have to trouble you to take care of me." Mr. Ji turned to look at Xu Sheng, bowed his body, and said in a very polite tone, "Master Xu Sheng is a friend of Bu Wulin, and I hope that if he gets news of Lian Xin Hui Ji, he can inform my son in time. Lianxin Huiji is definitely not someone who can be tolerated, and she is also someone who cannot be trusted."

Wulin Taishan treated him like this, Xu Sheng could never have imagined it.He was in a hurry and turned sideways without accepting the gift, his expression concealed his panic, and he said calmly: "I can't bear it, and I will not let Mr. Ji entrust me."

Chu Yuanhe laughed and said: "Ji Yintong, if your appearance is spread, I'm afraid it will damage Shaolin's reputation."

Xu Sheng replied with a light smile: "Words of the world can't affect Shaolin."

The sky outside the hut was getting darker and darker, and the snow that had just stopped gradually began to float up again, covering the footsteps when we came.The old friends who rarely met in the hut had a lively chat until the second watch bell struck, and Fang left the hut in twos and shoulders.After everyone dispersed, Xu Sheng went to bed and looked at Zigui who was sleeping soundly, smiled helplessly, and had to tidy up the tea set in the middle hall alone, and Zigui's immature appearance floated in his mind, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, the sky blue glazed porcelain cup in his hand Broken all over the floor.

The world banquet finally came to an end, and since the new Shaolin host had been selected, many martial arts practitioners left one after another in the early morning of the next day.Because of their deep friendship with Shaolin, Mr. Ji and others stayed after noon and got together for a while before going down the mountain together.Xu Dao is the new host, so of course he personally escorts him off, but everyone never thought that Xu Sheng would send him off without a precipice.

Xu Sheng returned to his usual appearance, walked at the end of the crowd with care, and accompanied Huai Mingmo slowly down the stairs.Huai Mingmo didn't talk much, but now that Xu Sheng was beside him, his heart was like a ball of twine tightly entwined, with more and more mixed feelings, and he couldn't find a topic to break the silence.

Seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the mountain in less than a hundred steps, Xu Sheng suddenly stopped.Huai Mingmo felt the footsteps of the people beside him, and just about to open his mouth to ask, Xu Sheng said in a low voice: "I'll send you here, be careful all the way." After saying that, without waiting for Huai Mingmo's reaction, he stepped forward He took a step and turned around and walked up the mountain.

"Pavilion master... this..." Xin Li looked at Xu Sheng's back incomprehensibly, and paused for a moment.

Huai Mingmo's eyelashes seemed to be pressed down by Can Xue, and there seemed to be no smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said flatly: "It is enough for him to come and deliver, let's go."

Xu Sheng was hiding in the snowy season in a moon-white monk's robe, making it difficult to detect.He watched the Ji family's chariots and horses roll away blankly, kicking up white snow all over the ground and disappearing from his field of vision. Then he tipped his toes slightly, jumped tens of feet high, and flew back to Wuwang Cliff.

The withered thatched hut standing quietly in the frost and snow seems to be isolated from the world, and it is like a cage surrounded by the sky and the sky. It seems to be particularly quiet and lifeless today.Xu Sheng supported the tree trunk and stood among the thick branches of ancient cypress, feeling a fear of wanting to escape.

Xu Sheng stood outside the door of the withered grass hut, hesitating for a long time, and then slowly opened the door, suddenly a strong fragrance of makeup and powder wafted out, he was annoyed in his heart and said in a cold tone: "Who allowed you to come here without authorization."

Zhu Lingzhun expected that he would be treated coldly if he came here privately, but he didn't expect Xu Sheng to be so harsh and ruthless, his hot heart seemed to be instantly covered by thick snow, and even the delicate smile on his face was frozen.She twisted the handkerchief between her fingers, and said in a low voice for a long time: "I have investigated carefully when I came here, Mr. Ruthless has already sent someone to withdraw the people who watched me day and night, it should be that they no longer doubt me."

Passing by Zhu Ling's side, when his sleeves were about to touch, Xu Sheng moved his hand intentionally, not leaving any remaining warmth to the sad-eyed beauty.Xu Sheng moved the unburned silver charcoal under the charcoal basin with iron clips, and quietly sat cross-legged on the armchair that Huai Mingmo sat on the night before, looking around and seeing Zigui, Fang's lips moved slightly, "You look for me What is it?"

Zhu Ling knocked on the door carefully, not daring to sit down, but stood three feet away from Xu Sheng, and said with concern: "I heard that the landlord was attacked by assassins a while ago, are you okay?"

Xu Sheng didn't lift his eyelids, his slightly drooping pupils were extremely impatient, and he said calmly, "What's the matter?"

A beautiful woman with tears in her eyes should be the most pitiful, but Xu Sheng would not raise his eyes to see it, or turn a blind eye after noticing it.Zhu Ling calmed down her sad mood a little, and said softly: "The account books you sent someone a few days ago, I have asked people to verify them. There is indeed a problem with Man Tingfang's accounts."

"I met you in Qingzhou Prefecture back then, and I remember it was such a snow season." Xu Sheng paused, and unconsciously stroked the handle of the chair that Huai Mingmo had touched, and said slowly: "I think it will be almost 15 years ago." gone."

Zhu Ling knelt down abruptly, and said, "Zhu Ling dare not forget the landlord's life-saving grace."

"Get up and talk." Xu Sheng glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Speaking of which, you are almost twenty, and you have been busy all these years."
