"Now Ban Feng is what he wanted to express. I probably thought that it would be inappropriate for Ban Feng to write to the city lord, so I only wrote half of it and left the job. It's not true if I say it's laziness."
When Li Hongxiu heard this, she couldn't help but froze, thinking that she had been thinking about her husband when she accompanied Bai Susu to the top of the mountain to escape the tribulation. She didn't think about tea and food, and a line of clear tears could not help but fall gently...
Lin Yueru was still worried about her daughter, but she didn't expect that Li Hongxiu became crazy after reading the poem. He quickly came over to hold her hand and comforted her in a low voice.
Only the husband understood why Li Hongxiu reacted so strongly. He couldn't say anything at the moment, so he just sighed quietly.
After Tang Qiuyu listened to the second half of the story, he couldn't help but feel pricked in his heart. He thought that the little guy practicing on Tianshan Mountain was so old, how could he have such heavy emotions and sorrow about separation.
Any girl who receives such words will be heartbroken and in tears.
At this moment, she finally understood what her junior sister had said to her. She could not judge this little guy by his level of cultivation. If he could practice alone on Tianshan Mountain, how could he be considered an inactive person?
Xia Wutong recited this poem repeatedly in her heart, and decided to copy it down when she returned to the room after the banquet. At this time, she was looking forward to seeing a mysterious little boy on the top of Tianshan Mountain.
Mu Mu was in a daze, looking at the sad Li Hongxiu, wondering why a poem written by her brother made sister Hongxiu cry.
Tang Qiuyu came over, took Mu Mu's hand, and said softly: "Can you ask your brother to write a poem for me too? I won't treat you badly."
When Mu Mu, a little money fan, heard this, he quickly pulled Xiao Qing, pointed at her and said, "Tell her that she can go up and find her brother."
Xiao Qing curled her lips, looked at Mu Mu, and thought to herself, are you crazy about money? It’s not like there’s no money to spend. How can the city lord reward me?
Mu Mu pretended not to see Xiao Qing's dissatisfaction and looked up at Ye Zhiqiu and Li Hongxiu.
Tang Qiuyu then seriously wanted to see Xiaoqing clearly. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing's dantian was filled with white mist, and she was not allowed to see it at all.
He had no choice but to take Xiaoqing's hand and said softly: "I will stay in the city for a while. I like brother Mumu's poems very much. If you go up the mountain to see him, please tell him what I mean."
Xiao Qing glanced at Mu Mu, then at her husband, nodded and said yes.
Li Hongxiu wiped away her tears, pointed at Mu Mu and said: "This little guy is a little money addict. He can talk about anything with money. Now I can't persuade the little guy on the mountain. He knows that he doesn't dare to accept my money. He didn’t even bother to write me a poem.”
After hearing this, Lin Yueru burst into laughter, patted Li Hongxiu's hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We are all a family, and we are not afraid of people laughing at you."
With his wife on one side and his mother-in-law on the other, how could Li Ye dare to ask them for money?
The generals shook their heads, and each looked at his woman, not knowing what to say.
Xia Wutong took Mumu's hand and said with a smile: "Ask your brother to write more poems. In the future, when you come to Zhongyu to play, I will entertain you well. You can also come to Qingcheng with him. The scenery there is also It’s beautiful.”
Mu Mu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she thought to herself that this is possible.
She has fallen in love with cities in this world since she came down from the mountain, and she is naturally happy when she thinks that she can go there and play there.
Immediately, she patted her chest and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will send a message to my brother, and he will definitely meet my request."
She knew that if there was anyone in this world who risked life and death for herself, it would be her brother on the mountain.
The master pointed at the food and wine on the table and said with a smile: "Eat quickly and wait until you are full." After that, he put some vegetables into Ye Zhiqiu.
...
The willow branches of Hongxiu Louliu by the river have sprouted tender green shoots, swaying gently in the cool spring breeze.
Mu Mu wore a white dress with gold rims that Ye Zhiqiu prepared for him today. Her black hair was combed into two braids, and her feet were leather boots with the best craftsmanship in Fengyun City.
She wore the same outfit, but changed into Xiao Qing with a green piping. This image was particularly conspicuous outside the door of Hongxiu Building.
The two young girls planned to do what Li Ye told them to do today and meet the old monk at the Great Buddha Temple.
Li Hongxiu was carrying Mu Mu into the carriage. Tang Qiuyu led Xia Wutong to the outside of the restaurant. He looked at Li Hongxiu and said, "Wu Tong also wants to go and have fun. I will drink tea here and wait for her to come back."
Li Hongxiu nodded, watching the three little girls slowly leave Hongxiu Tower in a carriage, and greeted Tang Qiuyu to enter the restaurant.
Wrapped in the spring breeze, they left the city gate and the carriage ran on the official road. Xia Wutong, who was leaving the city for the first time, opened the curtain of the carriage with a curious expression on his face.
She was looking forward to meeting the magical little boy on Tianshan Mountain and the old master monk in the Great Buddha Temple.
Mu Mu stroked the phoenix tree sitting next to her, looked at the scenery outside the window quietly, and suddenly asked: "Sister Xia, why do you want to go to the Great Buddha Temple with me? What is there to do there?"
Xia Wutong smiled and said, "I also want to see your brother's master."
Xiao Qingcheng said in surprise: "When I came down, your brother was a little angry."
Mu Mu tilted her head and said, "Isn't it just a little late? It's not like I won't go."
Xiaoqing smiled softly and said: "He said if you don't do it well, he won't let you manage money in the future."
Xia Wutong suddenly realized that the two little girls were going to the Great Buddha Temple to support the old monk, and whispered: "Have you two been here before?"
Mu Mu and Xiao Qing nodded.
"Just in time, it's our first time for all three of us." Wutong smiled.
...
The carriage stopped outside the mountain gate, and the three little girls jumped all the way into the temple gate.
Looking at the little novice monk standing on the stone steps in front of the main hall, the few girls were a little excited and laughed and asked about the old monk's Buddhist hall.
After asking about their purpose, the young novice led them through the main hall and came to the outside of the Buddhist hall where the old monk was. He waved to them and then walked in alone.
After a while, the young novice came out and said, "Abbott, please come in." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The three little girls took off their shoes, walked gently into the Buddhist hall, and looked at the old man sitting on the futon in front of the Buddha statue. Like a solemn Buddha statue.
No matter how cold the spring breeze outside the temple was, it could not shake him even one bit.
Xia Wutong pulled Mu Mu and Xiaoqing to kneel on the futon and kowtow to the old monk, and then the three of them sat cross-legged quietly in front of the old monk.
The old monk looked at the three little girls in front of him with a smile, his face full of kindness, and asked with a smile: "I wonder why the three little donors are here today?"
Mu Mu raised her head and looked at the old man in front of her. After thinking for a while, she kowtowed three more times to the old monk and said in a low voice: "Hello, master, I am Li Ye's sister Mu Mu. I give these three heads to the master on behalf of my brother." Knocked."
After speaking, he carefully took out a small cloth bag from his arms and gently placed it in front of the old monk.
The old monk reached out and took the small cloth bag handed over by Mu Mu, untied the string, and poured the gold coins inside into his palm. He smiled and said, "Why did you give me so many gold coins? Isn't my little apprentice practicing on Tianshan Mountain? Where did he get the money?"
Xiao Qing took the words in a low voice from the side: "Hello, master, Li Ye picked some cordyceps on the mountain and asked me to bring them down the mountain to sell them and exchange them for gold coins for you, master."
After listening to Xiaoqing's words, Mu Mu took out the Cordyceps wrapped in rice paper from her arms, put it on the old monk's futon, and said, "My brother asked me to leave some for the master, saying it was used to replenish the body."
The old monk did not look at the cordyceps on the futon, but stretched out his hand to gently stroke Mumu's hair.
He said with emotion: "He could actually meet you on the vast Tianshan Mountains. Could it be the fate of his previous life! I'm counting the days and he will be back soon. If you like it here, come with your brother and say a few words to me. Is the Bible good?"
Mu Mu nodded, but she was thinking about the poem written by Li Ye on the bookshelf:
Immortals caress my head, knotting my hair and receiving immortality.
Thinking that this kind old monk must be an immortal, I felt so happy that I kowtowed three times to the old monk obediently.
The old monk smiled and watched Mu Mu kowtow to him, and said to Xia Wutong beside him: "Why did the little girl come here?"
Xia Wutong was stunned and came out: "I really want to meet Mu Mu's brother, but I don't have the chance. I heard that you are his master, so I wanted to come and see you."
The old monk was stunned and couldn't help but look at Xia Wutong carefully.
"I didn't expect that my disciple is so famous that you as far away as the Central Territory have already known about his existence." The old monk said directly and matter-of-factly without thinking about it.
Xia Wutong was stunned again, looking at the old monk in confusion, and murmured: "Master, how do you know that I am from the Central Region? Have you seen me before?"
"If I want to know, I will know naturally. I held you in my arms when I passed by Zhongyu." Lao He looked at the bracelet on Xia Wutong's hand, just like he looked at the baby lying in the cradle.
Xia Wutong was stunned again. She didn't expect to meet the old monk who once held her in the Buddhist temple.
"Master, please forgive Wutong for his ignorance." Again, Xia Wutong kowtowed three times to the old monk.
The old monk took out a stick of agarwood, put it on the oil lamp and lit it. He looked at the three little girls around him with a kind face and felt many emotions in his heart. "Back then, your father and I had some fate. ...One must have something to do, just like a dream."
Xia Wutong looked at the old monk and said happily: "If my father knows the news about you, he will definitely be very happy."
The old monk turned the beads in his hand and said calmly: "I have been sitting quietly on the futon these days, but my mind is in a trance. It turns out that the daughter of an old friend is coming."
Mu Mu and Xiao Qing seemed to understand something and did not interrupt. They just stared at the two of them blankly.
Xia Wutong was also very happy. He looked at the old monk and said, "I never expected to meet the master here, but I forgot to prepare a gift."
The old monk shook his head and said with a smile: "My disciples have been prepared for you. I am very happy that you can come here."
Xiaoqing thought for a while, looked at the old monk and said, "I heard from Li Ye that after he comes down from the mountain, he will come to the temple to practice with the master for some days. He said he has some doubts in his mind and wants to ask you for advice."
The old monk smiled and said: "When he comes, he will come naturally."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pour tea for the three girls, and said with a smile: "Here, drink tea."
