Poor monks do not break the precepts

In order to settle down with Xiaoman, the group had to take a detour to Liniang's place first.Except for moonless nights, few people would come to this remote mountain on normal days. The weather is getting warmer at the end of March, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are frequently seen in the mountains. The servant carefully cleaned the inside and outside of the inn.

Li Niang leaned against the wall with her hips akimbo to supervise, and when she heard the carriages and horses coming, she thought it was some impatient quack who walked outside the inn and bumped into Xu Sheng who was getting off the carriage. The servant went to take care of the guest room.

"It's this girl, right?" Li Niang had heard Xiaoman's story, and looked at her carefully. Her dark skin was very rough, and her finger joints were wide. You could tell that it was the result of years of hard work. You can see that Xiaoman is a wild girl, with hatred in her eyes looming , the eyes are clear and sincere, Li Niang likes Xiaoman very much, covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "The girl brought by the landlord is not bad. I just happen to be short of a girl to do fine work, so I can raise more mouths to eat. worthy."

Xiaoman hates being looked at like a commodity, bit her lower lip lightly, and said angrily: "Mr. Xu, I just want to learn martial arts to avenge my mother-in-law, not to find a place to stay. Since Miss Chenxiang doesn't want to accept me as an apprentice, I'll leave now." Yes." After saying that, Xiao Man made a bow and was about to leave.

Just two steps away, Xiao Man suddenly felt dozens of bamboo chopsticks flying out from her left and right, brushing past her hair, and obliquely inserting them into the door frame.She didn't take it seriously, and walked to the door, trying to open the closed door, but found that she couldn't open it no matter what. She went to the door to take a closer look, and was surprised to find that it was the bamboo chopsticks that locked the door to death.

When she didn't come back to her senses, she heard Xu Sheng say calmly behind her: "Everyone has their own ambitions, if you keep it, you will only get resentment, let her go."

Li Niang squinted at Huai Mingmo with tender eyes outside, and said with a coquettish smile, "Yes, I obey." She took out the remaining two bamboo chopsticks, and with a flick of her wrist, Li Niang threw them between the cracks of the door, only to hear "squeak With a sound, the young man by the door opened the door of the inn, and politely made a gesture of driving away the guests to Xiao Man.

Not to mention that Xiao Man was dumbfounded, even Xin Li and the others were also dumbfounded. Fang felt that he was arrogant in the past, and even lamented that there were dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the ignorance building.Li Niang stood up softly, stretched pretentiously, smiled at Xu Sheng, waited acquiescingly, twisted Yang Liu's slender waist and went back to the room, not bothering to look back at Xiao Man.

Huai Mingmo was not surprised at all, and teased: "No wonder you, the landlord, dare to cause trouble all over the world. If I have half an expert like you in my hand, I will definitely walk sideways."

Luo Chen wondered: "There are so many masters in Wuzhilou, how come none of them are walking in the martial arts world, not to mention becoming famous, they just don't have a name."

"Vulgar." With his hands on his cheeks, Xu Sheng took a snack pad in front of Zang Li, and said with a smile, "Does anyone who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts have to be famous in the Jianghu? Not everyone cares about these false names." .”

Being used to being ridiculed, Luo Chen straightened his waist and said provocatively: "I'm just a layman, unlike the wonderful monk who is famous all over the world, but doesn't care about it."

Huai Mingmo laughed out loud, listening to Xu Sheng next to him flipping the tea lid and bang bang, just as he was about to attack, a messenger man rushed over from outside the room, he rushed in, saw Xu Sheng's face frightened and kicked his feet He tripped and fell face-to-face, but he caught the falling letter very quickly, "Miss Gu has a letter."

Chen Xiang bent over to pick up the letter, turned his back to Xu Sheng and gently blew away the dust, tore open the envelope, scanned the contents of the letter, and said with a sneer, "Lord, there is a letter from Zhu Ling, saying that Baguio has been captured, and now he is locked up Han Gongchun, she came to ask the landlord how to deal with this traitor."

"Where is Mr. Butterfly now? Has there been any news yet?" Xu Sheng's breath was a bit muddy, obviously angry, but he managed to bear it in front of Huai Mingmo, and said calmly: "Biyao, let the Zhuling faction Send her here personally."

Chen Xiang is used to Xu Sheng's behavior, he took the order to let the man who delivered the letter go out with him, Xu Sheng didn't look at other people's faces, he looked coldly at Xiao Man by the door, and said indifferently to the boy by the door: "Send this girl down the mountain."

Xiao Man nimbly got rid of the servant boy and rushed to Xu Sheng, with hope in his eyes, "I am willing to follow Li Niang."

Li Niang stood and opened the door, walked to the corridor and said coquettishly: "Lord, my Li Niang can't teach an arrogant girl, you'd better hire someone else."

Xiaoman has a strong temper, and the person she is looking for will not give up easily, but Li Niang can drive away with a word, the age of fifteen is the time when she is fearless, she has followed her mother-in-law since she was a child, and she has been learning since she was three years old. Because of her human ability, she immediately saw that Li Niang's temper was hard-spoken and soft-hearted.Her eyeballs rolled straight, and she took the time to coax her mother-in-law, and she coaxed Li Niang to stay in just two days. Li Niang didn't say anything about kicking her out, but took half a day by her side to get her acquainted with the inn. thing.

In his own territory, Xu Sheng is obviously more comfortable than outside. Every day just after dawn, he reads the newly sent letters, gives orders, and plants the rare flowers and plants that he sent people to the Wuzhi Building. There is a separate small room in the backyard, which is filled with the smell of wine, and it can arouse the gluttons of drunkards a few feet away.

"The mother-in-law, did you deliberately let Lianxin Huiji do it?" Huai Mingmo asked with a somber face as there was no one around the question that had been suppressed in his heart for many days.

Xu Sheng said firmly: "No. If I tell you that she committed suicide, would you believe it?"

Huai Mingmo was silent for a while and said, "She...why?"

Xu Sheng shook his head, gazed at the bright sky half covered by thin clouds, and slowly said: "Lian Xin Hui Ji wanted to kill her, but by then, Lian Xin Hui Ji's mother-in-law would have died. Huiji Lianxin arrived a while earlier, just in time to see the scene of her mother-in-law committing suicide. I don't know why my mother-in-law did this, I have no adulteration in these words, believe it or not, it's up to you."

Huai Mingmo poured out half a cup from the jug, drank it all in one gulp, the fragrance of peach blossoms remained between his teeth and cheeks, the tip of his nose seemed to smell the unique fragrance of spring rain, this was the first time he tasted the wine of Xusheng, only that small sip , I immediately understood the reason why those people who have traveled for a long time only want to drink well after traveling thousands of miles.

"Why didn't you tell Xiaoman the truth?" Huai Mingmo shook the jug, the aroma of the wine evaporated into the air, overflowing with fragrance.

"Tell her? Why?" Xu Sheng frowned unhappily, like a child who has been robbed of his beloved plaything, "It's good that someone shares my hatred, anyway, I won't tell her."

Yu Tao has a lot of stamina when drunk, Huai Mingmo seldom drinks, just a glass, and he feels a little dizzy, his fair face is flushed, and his breath is sweet and peachy, "You just have a stubborn mouth, and you are obviously afraid to tell her. With no hatred, I will follow my mother-in-law's temperament and go back to guard the tomb, then you will be too late to save her, so you simply make up a lie to lie to her, and it won't be too late to tell her the truth after Lianxin Huiji is executed."

Xu Sheng snatched the jug and filled it up for him, "Drink your wine, it's only such a small cup, you're already drunk and talking nonsense, forget it if you drink to death."

The atmosphere in the courtyard was stagnant at first, the two of them held their breath, and suddenly lowered their heads and chuckled, but at this time a rough man with big arms and a wide waist walked out of the inn.

Walking towards Xu Sheng with no eyesight, this rough man thinks that his martial arts are not bad, he sees a frail scholar and a flowery monk in the courtyard, he doesn't pay attention to him, he grabs Xu Sheng's wrist and grabs the wine pot, his mouth is still not clean, "Damn it, why does this stinky monk act like a woman."

Xu Sheng hates people spoiling his wine the most. Seeing the big man throwing his head up and pouring it into his mouth, he stepped forward to hit the wine pot with one hand, the big man would not give up and punched Xu Sheng on the back with his backhand.

"Be careful!" Huai Mingmo rushed forward and pulled Xu Sheng past him, and made two moves against the big man.

"The martial arts are not bad." The big man drew out his epee, his eyes revealed a fierce look, he slashed at Huai Mingmo, and said with a sniff, "Master, I'll meet you later."

Huai Mingmo retreated sideways, avoiding the big man's attack, drew out the folding fan at his waist and used the flowing water sword to deal with it.The big man wanted to scare Huai Mingmo at first, but he didn't expect that this seemingly frail scholar had excellent martial arts. Now the anger rushed to his forehead, and the force in his hand immediately lost its measure.

Xu Sheng stepped back a little, seeing that the big guy was using hard kung fu, if he fought hard, Huai Mingmo would definitely suffer, so he calmed down and observed, he saw his martial arts at a glance, and quickly said: "Hit his Taiyi and Qihu two acupoints .”

"Talk out." The big man pushed Huai Mingmo back slightly with his sword, and slashed at Xu Sheng with his backhand.

In a hurry, Huai Mingmo didn't care whether it would hurt or not, so he cut the big man's sleeve with the yin and yang bipolar sword of Wansheng's mind, and clasped the side of the big man's neck with his left hand. Before his hand touched his neck, the meridians on his wrist were completely pinched to death by Huai Mingmo. He didn't know how to move, and wanted to shake off Huai Mingmo's hand with large movements, but he didn't expect that the hand seemed to be stuck to his body. The pain was so painful that he gritted his teeth and broke out in cold sweat.Several brothers of the big man heard the sound in the inn, and ran towards Huai Mingmo fiercely.

Li Niang flew out from the inn, and her fingertips contained this internal force and hit Huai Mingmo's wrist. Huai Mingmo felt his hand go numb for a moment, and he let go naturally.Li Niang hit the big man with her backhand in the blink of an eye, and the big man was like a ball of cotton fluttering out of the courtyard wall, looking coldly at the big man's eyes, deliberately keeping a distance from Huai Mingmo, she smiled and said: "Mr. you?"

Huai Mingmo turned his wrist and said with a light smile, "I'm fine."

Li Niang said with a charming smile: "Guess officers, why do you have to become enemies over trivial matters? How about Li Niang invite everyone to drink, and everyone laughs away their grievances."

"I'm going to teach this kid how to be a man today."

Luo Chen and Xin Li flew out at the same time, approaching Huai Mingmo, and said in unison: "Pavilion Master be careful."

The smile in Li Niang's eyes became deeper and deeper, but the eyes that were as quiet as a cold pool were cold, "Guest officer, why don't you give Li Niang some face, and make things trivial?"

"Sexy lady, go away, or you will suffer." The other man grinned lewdly, his eyes full of desire.

"I really take myself seriously." Xu Sheng sneered and sneered, before the man could ask any questions, he fixed his eyes on a few people, and patted his palms lightly, blood spilled all over the courtyard in a short while, and Chen Xiang stood in Xu Sheng's place. Beside him, leaned over and got up again, and said flatly: "The landlord."

Surrounded by dark black surfaces on the wall tiles, it was impossible for anyone to fly. Everyone lowered their eyes and lowered their heads slightly, waiting for Xu Sheng's order.

Xu Sheng looked coldly at the big men who were rolling on the ground with one arm, and said calmly: "Throw it down the mountain and find someone to treat him. Next time he dares to step into this land, he will take off their legs and throw them away." Go to the wilderness." Hei Mian took the order, and immediately a team came up to carry people, and said with a squinting eye, "Take your hands down the mountain together, and feed the wild dogs in front of them. Don't let this dirty my eyes." His eyes slowly Scanning the people from the rivers and lakes who stuck their heads out to watch the play, they were all scared back by him immediately, and the tranquility just now returned to the courtyard.

Seeing Xu Sheng carefully inspecting Huai Mingmo's wrist, Li Niang felt a little guilty, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't have to use my strength."

Xu Sheng didn't raise his head, his tone seemed to be saying something normal, "Next time, it will be one of your fingers."

Li Niang clenched her fingers and hid behind her back, with a stiff smile at the corner of her mouth, she changed the topic and said, "Young Master Huai's Yin-Yang Bipolar Sword and Banxuan Finger are practiced very well. I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be lucky enough to see Wan Sheng's mind."

"Nervous." Huai Mingmo pinched Xu Sheng's nose, turned his head and smiled at Li Niang, "After Li Niang's death, this junior feels ashamed."

Li Niang smiled lightly and waved her hands, calling Xiaoman to let her take someone to sweep the blood in the courtyard, and then walked slowly back to the inn to entertain people, now all the quacks who came rushing to the moonless night calmed down, and anyone who saw Xusheng appeared would immediately She is as reserved as a lady of every family, not daring to speak out even after eating.

Cheno Niang tasted the sweetness, and said cheekily: "From now on, before every moonless night, the landlord will come to stay for two more days?"

Xu Sheng naturally replied, "Shut your mouth shut and I'll come."

After two days of quiet life, after the moonless night, the inn gradually quieted down, but the silence did not last for half a day. The sudden neighing sound in the middle of the night woke up the people in the inn, and then there were bursts of vigorous knocking on the door. With a sound, Li Niang rushed to the door, and the servant slowly opened the front yard gate.

Li Niang stretched out her hand to hold the loose ponytail, looked at the person who knocked on the door, and said with a charming smile: "Is the official going to stay at the hotel at this time?"

"Li Niang, it's me." Zhu Ling lifted the curtain and leaned out, looked at the noble man who was reaching out to help her off the horse with disgust, avoided his hand, walked around him and walked slowly to Li Niang.

Li Niang took Zhu Ling's hand, looked at it for a while, and smiled and wanted to take it to the inn, "You are exhausted from the long journey, you often forget to eat and sleep because of busy things, I think you haven't eaten yet. I'll do it for you."

Zhu Ling held Li Niang and looked outside the inn, the corners of her mouth twitched instantly, and she smiled lightly: "This is the sixth prince of Beimeng."

Li Niang stepped forward with two steps, with a smile on her lips, she respectfully blessed him and said: "Please come to King Hongjun."

Meng Xiuran frowned slightly, looked at Li Niang calmly, waved his hands to let his subordinates go down to settle down, and said with a smile, "Please, I heard that Xu Sheng is here?"

Li Niang looked at Zhu Ling, and was about to speak, when Xu Sheng's voice came from behind, "The Sixth Highness is really my confidant, I know where I go."

"When I went to Qingzhou Prefecture, I happened to meet Miss Zhu Ling going out of the city. I heard that she was coming to this sparsely populated place. I was worried that it would not be safe to have only two escorts. I just missed your drink. When I learned that you were here, I decided to accompany Zhu Ling. Come girl, I hope there is someone to take care of me on the way." Meng Xiuran smiled and leaned forward, quietly inspecting the clothes of the ordinary family members, and wondered: "Are you...returning to the vulgar?"

Xu Sheng took a deep look at Meng Xiuran and didn't answer, walked up to Zhu Ling in a few steps, fixed his eyes on the carriage, and said in an extremely cold voice, "Where is she?"

Zhu Ling hadn't seen Xu Sheng for a long time, and the profile of her thinking day and night was reflected in her eyes. She was a little obsessed, and after hearing this, she calmed down and lowered her eyes obediently: "Biyao is in the carriage, and there is a little girl who is taking care of her." Thinking of the goodbye, Zhu Ling's eyes showed pity, "She has been regretting these days, I..."

"You think she already knew her mistake, and you want me to forgive?" Xu Sheng squinted at Zhu Ling, saw Zhu Ling nodded, and sneered, "Have you ever seen those girls who were persecuted by Baguio? Go and ask them if they can forgive her." , instead of asking me." Sighing slightly, Xu Sheng looked away disappointed, and ordered: "Li Niang clean out the firewood house, and take Bi Yao there."

Li Niang held Zhu Ling who was about to open her mouth again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the host, I will find her and take care of her."

Xu Sheng nodded and didn't say much. He turned around and planned to enter the inn, but Huai Mingmo came out blindly. Although he lived here for a few days, he was not very familiar with the terrain. Maybe it was because Xu Sheng was beside him. I don't care much about remembering the road, so I almost tripped over the threshold.Seeing him, Xu Sheng stepped forward quickly, grabbed him by the arm, and said softly, "Why did you come out?"

Huai Mingmo said: "I heard the noise downstairs while I was asleep, I turned over and found that you were not there, so I came down to have a look."

Xu Sheng knew that he was worried about him, that day after someone troubled him, he would always protect him by his side, Xu Sheng moved close to Huai Mingmo's ear, eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he moved close to Huai Mingmo's ear Ming Mo whispered in his ear: "You forget that this is the site of Wuzhi Building, no one dares to trouble me." He pointed to the roof and smiled: "Agarwood is on the top, don't worry."

The darkness of the night covered most of Zhu Ling's face, her bloodshot eye circles were reddish, the smile on her face was hard to hold, her red lips were bloodless, her fingers tightly twisted her handkerchief, and she saw Li Niang worrying about her eyes for a long time , with a strong smile and said: "Bring Baguio in first, so as not to wait until the main swears when I go downstairs."

Xiao Man followed Li Niang, and when he heard this, he smiled and shook his hands, "Mister won't be angry, Mr. Huai is here, Mr. has never lost his temper..."

"Talking, I don't need anyone to arrange it. Why are you talking so much?" Suddenly scolded, Xiaoman blinked his eyes, and immediately waved and led people to the carriage honestly. The boy dared not neglect.

Xiaoman helped Biguio get off the carriage, and when she saw her face, she took a deep breath and put on a good face, the corner of her mouth was torn into a small opening, the bridge of her nose was slightly crooked, there were needle marks on both sides of her cheeks, bruises under her eyes, and no lumps on her body. Good meat, cut and whipped, scars covered every inch of skin.Baguio's eyes were filled with fear of strangers, instead of pretending to be cute and pitiful, she screamed in fright when she saw Xiaoman was about to touch her.

Zhu Ling couldn't bear to turn her head back, so she quickly went up to comfort Bi Yao, carefully put on the veil for Bi Yao, and said to Xiao Man, "Let me do it, and Miss Lao will lead the way."

As she passed by, Zhu Ling glanced sideways at Xu Sheng, but saw that Xu Sheng didn't look at her at all, her eyes drooped slightly, and she smiled self-deprecatingly.

After sending Bi Yao into the firewood room, Zhu Ling was about to leave, but she heard Bi Yao sneer: "Is it useful for you to do so many things for him? He doesn't care about you at all. Don't be stupid, Zhu Ling. Don't you see that?" Out of Xusheng's feelings for Huai Mingmo?"

Zhu Ling bit her lower lip lightly, her clenched hands trembled slightly, and said solemnly, "Baguio, do you still remember the days when we were wandering and snatching food from others, and we were beaten half to death. Yaozi's mother saw you and me, Tricked us into the kiln. You and I were only ten years old at that time. If the landlord hadn’t appeared at that time, who would have given us the stability and beauty of the past ten years? I like the landlord, but I have done so many things, I am repaying him En. You ask yourself, has the landlord forced you and me to do anything against my heart in these years?"

Before stepping out of the door, Zhu Ling stopped, pondered for a long time, and sighed for a long time: "You should ignore the words I advised you before. I don't know what you have done. You know the landlord's temper. I hope you are well."
