Life Continuation Manual [Quick Transmigration]

8.

After placing the Taoist priest in the side room of the ancient temple where he lived alone for the time being, Shi Xiaolou went out of the room.

I don't know which pilgrim who lived temporarily in the courtyard before built a small vine trellis for shelter. In the late spring, the vines gradually grow, covering the glare of the sun.

It was still the wide-sleeved Tsing Yi, perhaps it was stained with the blood of the Taoist priest, and there were a few places that were slightly dark, with a bloody smell secretly.

Chang Yuan was used to smelling the incense of fireworks in the temple, and the sudden approaching bloody smell made him frown slightly.Unlike the forbearance of blood when taking care of the injured person, when he faced Shi Xiaolou, he said without any hesitation: "You smell too much blood."

At that time, Shi Xiaolou didn't know that there was such a person standing behind him. When he first heard it, he was surprised.

Turning around calmly, it was only now that he dared to take a closer look at this monk who hadn't seen him for a few days.Still in the plain gray robe, with the same gentle expression for thousands of years.

"Want tea?"

Such a sentence that the bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth will make the monk turn around for a moment.

He watched Shi Xiaolou silently walk under the pergola, there was a stone table next to the pergola, beside the stone table were two rough stone benches, and a tea set was placed on it, obviously someone had been here before Tasting tea and enjoying the scenery.

It's incredible.

Shi Xiaolou took out a paper bag wrapped with tea stems from his cuff, and he skillfully fetched hot water from the house to make the tea, and then the monk sat firmly on the stone bench, picked up the teacup, and rubbed the smooth tea cup. cup wall.

Everything is so natural and incredible.

During the whole process, Shi Xiaolou seemed particularly quiet.Occasionally, a few birdsong in the yard gave the monk the illusion that time has always been like this.

After adding a cup of tea for himself, Shi Xiaolou just sat on the stone bench and drank it in a daze.He didn't look at Chang Yuan either, but occasionally fixed his eyes on the window bank of the wing room, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, Chang Yuan put down his teacup, and finally couldn't help asking, "What's the relationship between that person in the room and you?"

Shi Xiaolou sat loosely, and finally came to his senses after hearing the words. He pondered for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Well, we met once."

Chang Yuan obviously didn't believe it, his eyes flickered for a moment, he was still stroking the tea cup in his hand, sliding his thumb back and forth on the wall of the cup, and he didn't speak until he was a little numb: "It's just a coincidence?"

Shi Xiaolou was noncommittal.

"You are kind." Chang Yuan didn't know what to think of, he looked at the teacup in his hand, and sighed, "I vaguely remember that you were not fond of tea in the past."

"Ah..." Shi Xiaolou also seemed to think of the past, and his fingers holding the teacup tightly, "Brother Mo, you also said, that's just the past." After taking a sip, he said again, "The past is ignorant, the present Try this thing again today, but don’t regret it.”

"You..." Chang Yuan seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Shi Xiaolou's faint smile.

He looked at Shi Xiaolou's birthmark that almost destroyed his entire appearance, and felt a sudden pain in his heart.He suddenly thought that people will change with time. The little beggar who was as innocent as rice paper had already withstood all kinds of wind and rain in the world, and became the current Shixiaolou.

"By the way, Brother Mo." Shi Xiaolou smiled, but Chang Yuan was flustered for not coming.He heard Shi Xiaolou say, "I know that ring pendant is very important to you. Originally, I wanted to return it to you two years ago."

"...Where did you find it?" Chang Yuan heard himself ask.

"This," Shi Xiaolou hesitated for a while, but said honestly, "I picked it up in the water."

"In the water?" Chang Yuan's expression was in a daze.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Shi Xiaolou didn't bother him, but just refilled his teacup.He didn't drink it either, just shaking the yellowish tea, staring at the swirling tea leaves in it, dazed.

……

"Uncle!" The little novice ran into the yard at some point, still holding the long and thin broom in his hand.He held it in his hand and waved it vigorously at the two people sitting under the pergola, before he stopped and panted, "Master, uncle! That, that person is here..."

"Little monk, please speak slowly." It was Shi Xiaolou who saw him first, seeing that the little novice was sweating profusely, and thoughtfully handed him the tea in his hand.

Seeing the tea, the little novice swallowed it like a cow chewing a peony, which made Shi Xiaolou laugh inexplicably.

"Who came to the temple?" Chang Yuan also came out of his own thoughts at this time, seeing the appearance of the little novice, he knew that something big might happen in the temple.

The little novice drank two cups of tea in succession, then heaved a sigh of relief, cleared his words again and said, "The presiding master is already in the main hall, and someone said that he is the father-in-law from the palace. For the empress..."

"Queen?" Chang Yuan suddenly interrupted the little novice, just staring at him and asking carefully.

Shi Xiaolou noticed that something was wrong with Chang Yuan when the novice novice mentioned the people in the palace.

"Yes, it is said that the empress came to our temple to pray for the common people. I secretly heard from the father-in-law that the empress's ceremonial ceremony will arrive in the future..." The little novice was still chattering, "Master presiding It is for this reason that the uncle is called to discuss the matter of welcoming the empress Fengjia..."

"Queen... unexpectedly..." Chang Yuan listened to the little novice's words, got up halfway, and was about to leave in a hurry.

"Mo..." Shi Xiaolou looked at Chang Yuan's apparent loss of composure, and before he could figure out what happened, he saw him leave the yard without knowing where he was going.Could it be that there is something tricky between the queen and the former Mo Kangnan?

He lost his memory for more than a year, and he had no way of knowing what happened in between.Fortunately, the little monk hadn't left yet, so Shi Xiaolou had no choice but to ask him for help.

"Little monk." After clearing his throat, Shi Xiaolou curled up a smile and looked at the little monk.

"kindness?"

The little novice looked at the benefactor in front of him with some doubts, only feeling the coolness behind him.

"I'll ask you a few questions, and you can answer me honestly?" Shi Xiaolou raised his eyebrows, and Shi Xiaolou's eyebrows and eyes were full of sparkles.Don't look at the big birthmark, the side of the other half is elegant to the extreme.

The little novice monk was not yet able to concentrate, but was gradually bewitched by this smile.
