After breakfast, Wang Yun left in a hurry, asking Wang Gai to take care of Wei Cheng before leaving.
"Zhongdao, let's go to the White Horse Temple later. It's the busiest place in Luoyang." Wang Gai said.
Wei Teng nodded slightly. He had heard about the White Horse Temple a little bit, but he never had the chance to go and see it. He didn't expect that the first time he went to the White Horse Temple was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
- Pedestrians rode in two carriages, Zhong Chan and two maids rode in one, Wei Qing and three other people rode in one, and Xu Chu and others rode to protect them all the way.
Wang Gai looked at Xu Chu from time to time on the road, especially the dragon-slaying knife behind Xu Chu's back. He took out a "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han" from his arms and confirmed:
"Zhongdao, that is Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang, who is ranked twelfth, right?" Wei Qing laughed. Unexpectedly, Wang Gai also paid attention to this, and said with a smile:
"That's right, Zhong Kang is the twelfth-ranked Xu Chu.
"Then the black cloth wrapped behind his back is the sword to slay the dragon!?" Wang Gai was surprised and happy. Wei Cheng smiled and said nothing.
Wang Gai said to himself:
"The Supreme King of Martial Arts, with his sword to slay dragons, commands the world. No one dares to disobey. I didn't expect this dragon-slaying sword to be right in front of me. Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I could just see it..." He chuckled and looked at Wei Cheng, his meaning was self-evident. .
Unfortunately, Wei Zheng's attention was not on him at this time, but started chatting with Wang Ling on the side. Wang Ling was still young, a young boy, and Wei Cheng got a lot of useful information out of him in a few sentences.
However, whenever Wei Cheng gossiped about Zhong Xian, Wang Ling always kept silent or simply couldn't explain it clearly.
Of course, Wei Cheng would not stupidly ask him directly if he knew Zhong Xian, or whether Zhong Xian's daughter was in the palace.
Instead, he asked for some information about Zhong, such as: Zhong Xian once served in the Huangmen Propaganda Department, so his daughter must have been nurtured since childhood. Not only is she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she must at least be involved in music theory. .
For another example, Wei Cheng talked about his mute follower from time to time. Of course, in fact, there was no such person. The reason why Wei Cheng mentioned the word "mute" was to test Wang Ling's various reactions.
However, to Wei Cheng's helplessness, Wang Ling's reaction today was obviously completely different from yesterday. He naturally expressed sympathy for the mute attendant, and then changed the topic and asked Wei Cheng to ask about loneliness.
Wei Cheng had no choice but to wait. The people he sent out were also secretly searching. If there was really no news, he could only tie up Wang Yun and ask everything in person.
Not long after, the group came to the White Horse Temple. As Wang Gai said, the entrance to the White Horse Temple was bustling with activity, and there was an endless stream of merchants and pedestrians, many of whom were blond and blue-eyed foreigners, and even the dark-skinned missionary Asan.
Wang also had a shop in Baima Temple. He parked the carriage in the backyard of the shop and the group walked to the market.
Zhong Chan followed Wei Cheng and the others cautiously, glancing at Wei Cheng from time to time, with inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
I don't know if she thinks too much, but I always feel that after leaving home, Wei Cheng doesn't pay that much attention to her, and even deliberately avoids too many interactions with her.
Not only Zhong Chan noticed the changes in Wei Cheng, but brothers Wang Gai and Wang Ling also noticed it. In this regard, Wang Gai looked happy to see the success, while Wang Ling frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hey, Zhongdao, what's this crutch in your hand?" Wang Gai asked curiously when he saw Wei Cheng holding a dragon-headed crutch in his hand.
When Wei Cheng heard this, he laughed and said:
"It's nothing, just an ordinary cane. I'm afraid I'll step on something I don't hurry up. If I have this cane, I can sweep away the dirty things in advance."
"Oh!" Wang Gai's eyes lit up and he thought it made sense. He thought about whether he should get one for fun. When he saw Wei Cheng dressed in a decent outfit and holding a lifelike carved faucet in his hand, he started walking. Lu Lai was quite handsome, which moved him very much.
The group of people walked around, buying whatever they liked, and stopping to watch interesting performances.
The atmosphere seems to be harmonious, mainly because Wang Gai will also come to trouble, and he is very happy to serve Wei Cheng.
If Wei Cheng hadn't been hiding something in his heart, I'm afraid he would have really been moved by him. Soon, the time came to noon, and Wang Gai suggested finding a restaurant for dinner.
Wei Cheng and the others naturally had no objection while they were talking.
"Oooh!"
"Mom, the lion is eating people!"
"Run, run. The commotion happened suddenly. Zhong Chan and the two maids who were walking behind were pushed away and were about to fall into the ditch nearby. Wei Cheng's expression changed. Because the distance was relatively close, he gave him a He hugged Zhong Chan and shouted to Xu Chu:
"Zhong Kang, save people. Xu Chu moved faster than him, pulling the two maids behind him one by one. Only then did Wang Gai and Wang Ling react. When they looked back, Wang Gai's face changed with fright. He saw a hungry and skinny male lion rushing towards him. Just when he was shopping, he was still teasing the caged male lion with stones, not wanting to become the lion's ration in the next moment. When Wei Cheng saw this, he looked towards Wei Ping. Wei Ping was also unambiguous, with his hands hanging in the air and his waist arched like a mountain. He actually blocked Wang Gai with his mortal body, and pointed towards the lion steadily and fiercely with both hands. The forehead was chopped off! Everyone's eyes were blurred. The lion that pounced on Wang Gai flew backwards. Wei Ping's hands also felt uncomfortable. The middle finger of his right hand was bent back and deformed. He didn't know whether it was dislocated or a broken bone. . Wei Cheng didn't want Wei Ping to be injured. Seeing the lion falling to the ground, ready to pounce again, he hurriedly raised the crutch in his hand. Piupiupiu! He shot three times in succession. Zhong Chan, who was shrinking in his arms, only felt the dragon of the crutch. Something seemed to fly out of the mouth, and the next moment I saw the male lion that wanted to pounce again, walking crookedly, struggled a few times, and fell to the ground with a thud, not knowing whether to live or die.
"Wei Ping, are you okay?" Seeing that the lion was anesthetized, Wei Cheng pushed Zhong Chan away from his arms and walked towards Wei Ping worriedly... Zhong Chan staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground. Wei Ping was also stunned by the scene before him. Stunned and suspicious, he glanced at the crutch in Wei Cheng's hand, shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, young master, it's a minor injury." Wei Cheng saw that he had forced his middle finger back, and the knuckles became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye. He hurriedly took out a small bottle of plaster from his arms and blamed:
"This is still a minor injury... Zhong Kang, come and take a look." People who practice martial arts are not familiar with medical skills. They are not surprised by ordinary bruises. This is what it means to become a doctor after a long illness. Although Xu Chu is not He can treat serious illnesses, but he can also be regarded as a semi-miracle doctor for some injuries of bones and muscles.
"Fortunately, no bones were injured. You have applied medicine. I will give you a few more massages later and the swelling will subside in two days." Xu Chu said.
When Wei Cheng heard this, he felt relieved. If he hurt Wei Ping in order to protect Wang Gai, he always felt that it was not worth it.
At this moment, he remembered that he had just pushed Diao Chan away in a hurry. When he looked back, he met Zhong Chan's eyes, which were full of grievance and resentment.
