"The dishes are here, masters. This is a vegetarian dish carefully prepared by the shop. It does not contain any meat or fish. Please taste it slowly. If you need anything, please call the shop at any time." The shopkeeper came to greet him personally.
Monk Tan Zong clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, I'm sorry for the innkeeper. Very good, very good."
But Xiao Changle started to make a fuss again, "No, no, mother taught you to wash your hands and brush your teeth before eating. You have to be clean. I haven't washed my hands and brushed my teeth yet."
Oh my god... Although the monks are monks and have a lot of concentration, they are also annoyed by the many problems this little girl has along the way. Is it so difficult to take care of a child?
The shopkeeper was a sensible person and quickly asked someone to make arrangements, "Don't cry, little distinguished guest. I'll have someone get you some water to wash your face. Come and prepare the utensils for washing your face and brushing your teeth."
People in the Tang Dynasty also brushed their teeth, but rich people used wooden sticks dipped in salt, while poor people used plain water. In short, they had this hygiene habit.
Looking at the bluish toothbrush salt, Xiao Changle's face was full of disgust: "Hey... your salt is too bad. I don't want it. Hehe, luckily I brought some with me when I ran away from home. I use my own salt." of."
ah? you……
The shopkeeper was a little confused, what did I hear? Are you talking about the salt difference in my store? No, my restaurant can't be called a top-notch restaurant, but it can be regarded as one of the most luxurious in Chang'an City. It has a green salt mouthwash and teeth brushing service, which is not available in ordinary restaurants. What is your background? Do you use snow salt to brush your teeth?
The next second, the shopkeeper's knowledge was refreshed. He actually took out the snow-white salt from the small sachet. At first glance, it looks like high-end goods.
Involuntarily, the shopkeeper carefully looked at the little girl's dress and was surprised. At first glance, she looked like a child from an ordinary family. The simple and clean clothes belonged to a wealthy family at most. But if you look closely, you will find that the fabric of their clothes is different from that of ordinary rich people, and what about the stitching? Did he come from a big noble?
By the way, what did she just say? When you ran away from home, did you bring salt with you?
What's going on? A group of monks with a little girl who ran away from home? Could these monks be human traffickers?
The shopkeeper glanced at Monk Tanzong guiltily. Monk Tanzong seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "This little benefactor was met outside the city. He got lost with his family. He seemed to have left home on purpose. . Since she is destined to us, we will take her everywhere and send her back when she gets homesick. In case she encounters bad people, it will not be unsafe."
The shopkeeper suddenly realized it and praised quickly: "Master is very righteous."
At this time, Monk Sengman whispered: "Uncle Master, do rich people pay so much attention to brushing their teeth?"
Everyone then looked at the little girl who was brushing her teeth again, and saw that her little sachet was like a treasure chest. The little guy patiently pinched out snow salt and sprinkled it on the wooden stick, and then pinched out two other different powders one after another. , sprinkle evenly, rinse your mouth with water at the end, and brush your teeth slowly.
Even the well-informed shopkeeper exclaimed that this person is definitely not an ordinary nobleman, he is so particular about brushing his teeth.
"Okay, I'm done. You help me wash my face." Xiao Changle pointed at the shopkeeper and said.
ah? I?
Ahem, okay, I'll help the little distinguished guest wash his face. The shopkeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After finally cleaning up, we finally returned to the dining table, and everyone felt relieved. The old monk Tanzong was afraid that the child would turn into a demon again, so he said: "It's not the same as in the temple when you go out, so today's pre-meal sutras should be placed after the meal. It's time to start eating. Give the child a bowl first."
Xiao Changle pointed to the vegetable and radish pimple soup in the middle, "I want to eat this. It looks good. It must be delicious."
Seng Man took the initiative to help fill a bowl of soup, and Xiao Changle couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and take a sip, poof...
Hot, hot...
Monk Man was speechless. Before I had time to remind him, I wanted to ask you if you want to feed him. Is a little girl so irritable?
The monks couldn't help but cover their eyes. Her mouthful of soup was squirted impartially, and every dish on the dinner table was covered with her saliva.
The old monk Tan Zong coughed lightly: "Eat. Monk Man, please feed this child."
Everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and start eating. Sengman patiently fed Xiao Changle.
Half an hour later, the restaurant owner came in and asked if there was anything else he needed. shocked. The room was filled with bald monks, all of whom looked like they had taken rat poison. Here……
"Master, master, what's wrong with you? My child, what's going on?" the shopkeeper asked Xiao Changle, the only one who was awake.
The little guy jumped down from the stool and clapped his hands happily, "Humph, it's very simple. They were all poisoned by my poison and were knocked down by my medicine."
"Ah? You... how is this possible?" The shopkeeper couldn't believe that such a harmless little girl of eight or nine years old could poison?
Didn't it mean that these monks met her by chance and saved her? How... are they human traffickers? The shopkeeper is running out of brains.
Xiao Changle thought that the other party was questioning his ability to poison, so he curled up his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, this is a life-saving poison specially given to me by my master. It is colorless and tasteless and the poison is invisible. If you are hit by this poison, it will not be fatal. Who knows?" For three days and three nights, even the gods can’t wake me up.”
ah? So, so powerful? You, who are you? Seeing that the other person's expression didn't seem to be fake, the shopkeeper was scared.
Let alone an ordinary person, what if he is an experienced monk Tan Zong? Aren't you still in trouble?
On the one hand, it's because Xiao Changle is too young and comes from a typical rich family. Young girls from such aristocratic families are often ignorant of the world, how could they harm others? It would be nice not to be harmed. On the other hand, they fell into the hands of experts from the Shangqing Sect. If it is ordinary poison or incense, Monk Tanzong is a master of both medicine and martial arts, how can he not recognize it? It's a pity that what they met was not ordinary people. Are there any normal people who come from Xiao Rui? Accept your bad luck.
Xiao Changle took out an ingot of gold from his body and threw it over, "I'm not a bad person. I'll give you this money to arrange a big room for them to sleep neatly. Someone will come to you later."
After saying that, he ran out of the restaurant. It didn't take long to spot the secret guard who was constantly looking around in the crowd.
"What are your orders, princess?"
"Let's go, after finishing our work, we will go to Laojun Temple to find the master. By the way, you can send someone here to take care of it. I have captured all the monks inside."
"Ah? Captured? How is this possible? You are alone and there are thirteen of them?" The secret guard couldn't believe it.
"I took the medicine and they will sleep here for three days. These monks are not bad people. As long as they don't help Daxingshan Temple to bully my brother-in-law, just take care of them and leave by themselves when they wake up."
The secret guard knew for the first time that the little princess still had such abilities? One person against a dozen adult monks? What did that Taoist priest Ge Dan teach her? No, this matter must be reported to His Majesty.
"Didn't you send someone to ask for leave from Daoist Ge? Why are you going again?"
Xiao Changle raised the sachet on his waist, "I didn't expect these people to be so easy to deceive. The main reason is that I have run out of medicine in my purse, and I have to find my master for more self-defense."
Self-defense? Are you defending yourself? Others put vanilla in the sachets around their waists. How about you, put Mongolian sweat medicine? The secret guard's mouth twitched, and he could only find another carriage and personally escort Xiao Changle to Laojun Temple.
The abbot of Daxingshan Temple stood in the courtyard all day, listening to the people outside the wall making trouble all day long, and his heart was in confusion.
"It's strange. The Shaolin Temple wrote back and said that it sent thirteen stick monks to help with boxing exercises. According to the schedule, they should arrive today, and the accommodation here has been arranged. How come I haven't seen anyone after waiting for a whole day? Isn't it because he's not coming? "
