Little Ancestor [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

After walking with Huang Yaoshi for three days, Li Jia remembered to ask him: "Where are we going next?"

It was rare for Huang Yaoshi not to dislike her before answering, and said bluntly: "Go to Jiangnan, Murong Villa."

Relying on the true or false Jianghu gossip heard in various teahouses and restaurants after going down the mountain, Li Jia quickly realized what Jiangnan Murong Villa is.

"Is it the Jiangnan Murong family that gave birth to many daughters?" She asked, "I heard about it in Taiyuan before, and it seems that they have given birth to nine daughters."

"En." Huang Yaoshi nodded, "Murong's family is all daughters."

Li Jia recalled the many statements he had heard at the beginning, and picked the one that was the most talked about and asked him: "I heard that before the birth of their ninth daughter, they invited people to be regarded as male or female, and they all said they were male. It's a daughter, but Master Murong and Mrs. Murong like this little daughter very much, and they are reluctant to give her a name right away, for fear that the name they choose won't suit her, so they only call her Jiu'er internally and externally."

Huang Yaoshi frowned: "Where did you hear that?"

Li Jia thought for a while, and said, "What's a place called Fengbo Teahouse?"

Huang Yaoshi: "...the storyteller made it up. The daughters of the Murong family have always been named like this. It's not the elders' preference."

"Ah? Then what are the other eight called, Murong [-], Murong [-], Murong [-]? This is too strange." As a Xixia native, she really couldn't understand it.

"...It's Murong Yuanniang, Murong Erniang, and so on." Huang Yaoshi supported his forehead and said.

"Oh." She was stunned, and then asked again, "Then what are we going to Murong Villa for?"

Huang Yaoshi glanced at her, saying that there is an old man in Murong Villa who is old with the elders in his family, who taught him the five elements and formation mechanism a few years ago.

And in another month, it will be this old senior's [-]th birthday. He has received an invitation from Murong Villa early in the morning, so he has no choice but to go.

Li Jia was very surprised: "You have also learned the five elements and the formation mechanism?"

You must know that the depth of these two subjects is no less than that of martial arts. After learning them, Huang Yaoshi can also practice martial arts to be the best among his peers, he can be called a genius.

Not to mention that in addition to this, he also has superb culinary skills that are superior to first-class restaurants around the world.

Huang Yaoshi thought it was normal: "If you are interested, it will come in handy, so learn it."

Li Jia: "...you are really amazing."

For her sincere compliment, Huang Yaoshi didn't say anything, but he was really surprised in his heart—how could he hear her praise me on occasions other than cooking?

Li Jia was speechless for a while because of his surprise, she thought that even if she was as cold as him, she would like to be praised.

That being the case, she should try to praise him as much as possible afterwards, after all, only when he is in a good mood will he be willing to cook.

In the next month or so, the two of them traveled southward at a leisurely pace, and Li Jia praised his culinary skills, his erudition, and even his taste every now and then.

Huang Yaoshi repeatedly thought she was too loud, but she didn't give up and continued to blow, because she knew that he really liked to listen.

She didn't expose him either, after all, Li Su was an example who would rage every time he was exposed, she was really worried that if she exposed Huang Yaoshi, Huang Yaoshi would stop cooking in a fit of anger!

"Aren't you the same age as me?" In fact, her flattery was not lacking in sincerity. "Why does it seem that you have traveled almost all the places in the Central Plains? You seem to know everything about it."

Hearing this, Huang Yaoshi glanced at her and said, "I'm just familiar with the cities along the way from Baoding to Jiangnan."

Li Jia: "..." Why are you so modest, I clearly heard you say in your heart that it is of course!

She didn't dare to reveal what he was thinking, so she had to change the subject and said, "Then we will arrive in Jinling tomorrow, what places and food in Jinling are worth visiting?"

Huang Yaoshi thought for a while and said, "The fast food in the former residence of Emperor Wu of Liang is worth a try."

Although Li Jia knew little about the martial arts in the Central Plains today, when she was in Vulture Palace, she still read the history books and knew who Emperor Wu of Liang was.

"Is it Emperor Wu of Liang from Temple 480 in the Southern Dynasty?" She blinked and asked, "I've read his story."

"It's him." Huang Yaoshi nodded, "Most of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty were built by him in his later years, only Guangzhai Temple, his former residence, was built when he first came to the throne, and it was the fastest to fall into disrepair."

Breaking down fast?Is the vegetarian food over there really delicious?Li Jia was skeptical about this, but considering how picky Huang Yaoshi was, she swallowed all her doubts.

Half a day later, they rushed into Jinling City before the sun set.

Jiangnan in early summer has not fully recovered from the continuous rainy season, and it is more boring than dry, but Jinling is full of water, and the two of them walked along the river after entering the city, which is not lacking in coolness.

When the lights in the city first came on, the place near the water was even more resplendent. On the long street by the river, every few steps there were gorgeously dressed women who cast unexplained glances at the two of them.

Because most of them were not far away from them, it was only natural that Li Jia could clearly hear some of the thoughts that came to their hearts when they saw them.

...Like Lin Xian'er, these women can hardly help but find fault with her appearance in their hearts, and each of them picks differently.

After listening all the way, Li Jia finally turned a corner to another street, and said with a long sigh of relief: "My God, it's quiet."

The two traveled together from Baoding to now, so Huang Yaoshi naturally knew of her mind-reading magic. He immediately reacted and asked her with great interest, "What did you hear just now?"

Li Jia counted for him with her fingers: "A little girl in a green dress said I was too tall and not as gentle as Jiangnan girls, and there was a girl in a red dress and gold gauze dress who thought I was thin, like a bamboo pole, and I was not good-looking. .There are also a bunch of people who think that my nose, eyes, and mouth are all problems... anyway, it's all like this."

Huang Yaoshi wanted to laugh: "It's just jealousy among women, you don't have to take it to heart."

"Of course I don't care about it." Li Jia said, "If I really believed what they said, I should have jumped into the river because of my shabby appearance, but I am obviously very good-looking, so I am not what they say! "

How could anyone praise himself so much, Huang Yaoshi looked at the girl in front of him under the dim lights in the dark alley, and couldn't help but think so, but he couldn't refute this sentence.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and turned his head, quickened his pace, and said, "Guangzhai Temple does not accept pilgrims at night."

Li Jia immediately followed quickly, without further words.

After half a stick of incense, the two of them went through many turns and turns, and finally arrived at the gate of Guangzhai Temple.

When Li Jia came here, she was prepared that the place might be dilapidated, but she was quite surprised when she saw the uneven threshold and the old door plaque mottled by the wind and sun.

"Emperor Liang Wu is quite a famous emperor. Even I know his story. How did his former residence be broken down like this..." She stood at the gate of the temple and gasped.

"Guangzhai Temple used to be very popular in the past, but then it seemed that he was too unlucky, so no one came." Huang Yaoshi raised his foot and walked in, explaining very plainly, "The monks in the temple have almost gone in recent years. .”

After his words fell, the two of them walked into the dilapidated temple.

Beside the ancient well in front of the Buddhist hall, an old monk bowed his waist and was drawing water. Hearing the footsteps of the two of them, he said without raising his head: "The time of the unitary has passed. If you don't receive incense, please stop."

Li Jia turned her head to look at Huang Yaoshi, but Huang Yaoshi rarely showed a respectful attitude, stepped forward and said to the old monk, "Master An, long time see you."

When Liao Chen heard him speak, he paused, straightened up immediately, and returned a respectful salute, saying: "It turns out that there is a distinguished guest."

Huang Yaoshi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Afterwards, Liao An put down the bucket, led them to sit down in the Buddhist hall, said that the abbot had gone out to give a lecture today, and would be back in a while, and asked them to wait for a while.

Huang Yaoshi: "How is Master Liaohen's health recently?"

Liao Chen said that the abbot's younger brother is in good health, eats well and sleeps well, and has time to play chess every day. A few days ago, he seemed to have comprehended a game of remnants, and when he was happy, he agreed to go out and give lectures. .

After the thin master spoke a few words with him, he went back outside the Buddhist hall to continue fetching water.

Seeing this, Li Jia finally couldn't hold back and asked Huang Yaoshi, "So you know the monks here very well?"

"I hate Grandmaster for his love of chess. When I came back last time, I won several games against him. He has a childlike heart, so he stayed with me for a few more days, so several of his senior brothers also knew me." Huang Yaoshi said.

"Then you just said that Guangzhai Temple doesn't receive pilgrims at night?!" Li Jia bared her teeth at him, thinking that he was trying to scare her deliberately.

But he smiled: "It is true that Guangzhai Temple does not receive pilgrims at night."

It means that he didn't lie to her, what happened later was all her own thoughts.

Li Jia originally just complained casually, but seeing him like this, she became a little anxious: "You misled me!"

He didn't deny it, but the tiny smile on the corner of his lips dripped into his eyes, as if he was asking her, so what?

Li Jia: "..."

In fact, if someone else teased her like this, she would have a million ways to speak harshly, but Huang Yaoshi... Huang Yaoshi has such a powerful cooking skill, only she is careful not to offend him, how could she dare to be against him? He took out the life and death talisman!

"Hmph." Finally, she said angrily, "Trick me next time, be careful I will bite you."

After finishing speaking, Huang Yaoshi hadn't responded yet, when an honest and gentle voice sounded outside the Buddhist hall.

The voice sounded younger than the previous one, and the tone of the speech was not so flat. He said: "Amitabha, the most important place in Buddhism, please be careful with your words."

Li Jia: "...???" Huh?I didn't say I wanted to bite him to death, so should I be careful?
