"Hao Yuanwai!" Xiao Jian seemed to have seen the old man before, and before the old man could speak, he walked quickly and raised his voice.
Hao Yuanwai's expression was a little sluggish, although there was a kind of expectation in his eyes, but this expectation also meant to be extinguished in the night, but after hearing Xiao Jian's shout, Hao Yuanwai raised his brows, and his face was instantly dyed. A smile at any time moved out from the moon gate, and he cupped his hands and said: "Xiao Daochang! The old man has heard of the reputation of Xiao Daochang and Jiang Chaoguan for a long time, but he has never had the chance to see it. It is as good as it is today. What the old man thinks is really a fairy style, a school of everyone's demeanor!"
"Don't dare, dare not!" Xiao Jian cupped his hands and saluted, "Xiaodao is just one of the thousands of monks of my Taoist school! Jiang Chao Temple is also able to bring the people of Changsheng Town the blessings of Master Xiao because of the gift of Lord Sea God. Enze, Xiaodao is just standing"
Xiao Jian's routine humility! However, before he could finish speaking, "Dangdangdang" From inside the moon gate, there was a wooden fish's voice that made Xiao Jian frown extremely.
Xiao Jian's words were immediately interrupted, and he looked at the shadow inside the moon gate behind Hao Yuanwai with some puzzlement.
"Hehe, Daoist Xiao~" Hao Yuanwai's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said in a low voice, "I sent the goose feather letter to Jiangchao Temple, but I haven't seen the Taoist priest for a long time. The old man knows that Jiangchao Temple is very popular now. The Taoist priest probably didnĄŻt have much extra time. So he thought of the monks of Xiaojin Temple! Of course, Xiaojin Temple canĄŻt be compared with Jiang Chaoguan, but after all, itĄŻs better than nothing, right? This old man is good atinviting the monks of Xiaojin Temple Come here! Of course, now that the Taoist priest is here, I will drive these monks away!"
Having said that, Hao Yuanwai pretended to turn around.
Xiao Jian's heart is like a mirror now! Hao Yulong (the name has been corrected) must have sent himself the goose-feather letter, and before waiting for his reply, he went to Xiaojin Temple again. Since Yuanwai Hao invited Xiaojin Temple and Jiangchao Temple all at once, how could he drive away the monks from Xiaojin Temple? What I just said was just polite words! If I followed other people's words, I was afraid that I would be the one who was driven away!
So Xiao Jian hastily grabbed Hao Yuanwai's sleeve and said: "Hao Yuanwai's words are wrong!"
"Oh? What does Daoist Xiao mean?" Hao Yuanwai was not surprised at Xiao Jian's stop, but he still asked.
"Xiaojin Temple is a branch of the Buddhist sect, so naturally it has its own unique side!" Xiao Jian said with a smile, "Since they are here, let them make a move first! When they are helpless, Xiao Dao will not be too late to make a move! Otherwise, wouldn't the face of the staff be lost?"
"Hehe, yes, yes!" Hao Yuanwai patted his forehead and smiled wryly, "It was the old man who invited them here. If we drive them away now, wouldn't it appear that the old man disrespects the Buddha? It's better for the Taoist priest to remind me." !Even if they can't do it, I can't help but give them a chance!"
"That's right, that's right!" Xiao Jian smiled and nodded.
"This Daoist is" After finishing all the polite words, Hao Yuanwai looked at Xiao Hua who was behind Xiao Jian and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, this is also a fellow Taoist of my Taoist school, who just passed by Changsheng Town!" Xiao Jian said hurriedly, "Because I heard that there will be an immortal Buddha ceremony tomorrow, and I, Jiangchao Temple, will accept the challenge from Xiaojin Temple, so I also So I stayed to help Xiaodao! But he is not good at words, so I hope the staff will understand!"
"That's it!" Hao Yuanwai nodded, as if he didn't care much about the challenge, he just said, "Then please invite the two priests!"
"External staff, please!" Xiao Jian raised his hand graciously.
Hao Yuanwai was no longer polite, and turned around to enter the Moon Gate. Where he turned his head, an unspeakable gloom still emerged from his eyes, which was more obvious than the shadow between light and dark.
Xiao Jian glanced at Xiao Hua who was silent behind him, and the housekeeper Hao Yulong who was also frowning next to Xiao Hua, feeling a little heavy in his heart. Generally speaking, at this point, Hao Yuanwai should tell himself a little bit about what happened to the Hao family and what happened, so that he can think about how to deal with the Moon Gate. But now Hao Yuanwai's abnormality made Xiao Jian's heart skip a beat. Hao Yuanwai must have encountered a very embarrassing thing, even a particularly embarrassing thing, so he couldn't speak.
After passing through the Moon Gate, one can see a very tall and lush osmanthus tree. Under the osmanthus tree, there is a two-story embroidery building with brightly lit lights. Around the embroidery building, there are several naked The monks with heads were sitting there cross-legged, each with a wooden fish in their hands, just beating happily, and the sound of "mumbling" chanting came out of their mouths. In front of several monks was a three-foot-high Zen platform, and another monk in a yellow cassock sat cross-legged on it, holding a Zen stick in his hand and wearing a monk's crown on his head, also reciting something with his eyes closed.Although this monk had his back to Xiao Jian, and it was at night, Xiao Jian could recognize him at a glance. This monk was the Ming Dharma of Xiaojin Temple!
"Weird~" Xiao Jian was stunned, "What happened to Xiaojin Temple today? Why didn't the old monk Mingyue come? Just send Mingfa over? Grandma, this old man has lost his status!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Jian looked around again, behind these monks were some vulgar healthy women, standing scattered one by one with their sleeves rolled up, looking past the monk's bald head in the lights of the Embroidery Building. Looking at the surroundings tens of feet away from the embroidery building, at the edges of the flowers, plants and trees, each and every burly man held a sword and other weapons in his hand, guarding there very vigilantly.
"Bitter!" Seeing the situation of the Hao family, Xiao Jian regretted it first, "Grandma, there's no reason to open the goose-feathered letter! Throw it there Even if Mr. ItĄŻs fine if you donĄŻt see it! ItĄŻs fine now, I received a hot taro, the last time Lu Yuanwai invited the old man over, itĄŻs not the same I just donĄŻt know, can Senior Xiao"
Thinking of this, Xiao Jian couldn't help but turned his head slightly again, and glanced at Xiao Hua from the corner of his eyes.
Xiao Hua still looked like that, squinting his eyes slightly, unable to see any expression. On the contrary, when Hao Yulong saw Xiao Jian turning his head, he hurried over and said in a low voice, "Daoist Xiao, the place in front of the embroidery building was originally reserved for the Taoist priest. But the Taoist priest didn't come here for a long time. Master Mingfa came over and had to give it up to them."
"No problem!" Xiao Jian looked at Yuanwai Hao who was already sitting on a brocade chair not far away, and looked at the embroidery building again, so why would he care about this, and asked again, "Now that the housekeeper can Can you tell Pindao the reason of the matter?"
"Yes, Daoist Xiao, please!" Hao Yulong nodded in agreement, and stretched out his hand to guide Xiao Jian to pass under the osmanthus tree. Just as the three of them walked past the osmanthus tree, there was a loud "crash", the osmanthus tree shook violently for no reason, and leaves fell from the osmanthus tree one by one, scattering Xiao Jian and the others all over! Not only Xiao Jian was taken aback, but also attracted the attention of the monk of Xiaojin Temple. The gazes sharper than sharp swords fought with Xiao Jian's gaze several times in an instant.
On the contrary, Hao Yulong was not unusual, as if he had already experienced it.
Seeing that Hao Yulong didn't panic at all, while Xiao Hua still had such a dead face, Xiao Jian's heart dropped instead, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The backside of the Xiulou is also brightly lit, but there are not several healthy women from the Hao family, but around a lonely confession, there are also a few maidservants gathered together, everyone's face is panicked, and they are stealing. Those who whispered, but when they saw Hao Yulong approaching, they hurriedly shut up.
On the altar, there were a pair of lamps and candles, a few knives of yellow paper, and some miscellaneous things. It seemed that the Hao family had already prepared it.
"Taoist" Hao Yulong pointed at the things on the altar table and said in a low voice, "These are all prepared by the old man, what else do you think you need?"
"No need!" Xiao Jian replied very satisfied, "These things are enough! However, Butler Hao still needs to explain clearly to Pindao what happened here, otherwise it will be difficult for Pindao to subdue the demon!"
"Oh, it's hard to explain in one word!" Hao Yulong sighed, and explained the reason clearly in a low voice.
Although Hao Yulong's voice was small, Xiao Hua could hear it clearly from the side. It turns out that this embroidered building is where Ms. Hao's family lives. This Miss Hao's family is always kind-hearted. When she encounters injured or homeless small animals, she takes them home. The open space near the embroidered building is usually They were all occupied by those small animals, and after these small animals recovered, Miss Hao's family was not willing to send these small animals out, so the whole yard was a bit frightened to be honest. If the Hao family was poor, Miss Hao would naturally not be able to do good deeds like this, and her family would not allow such indulgence, but the Hao family didn't care about the money, they only wanted to make Miss Hao happy, not just serving Miss Hao's maidservants to serve these little ones Animals, even other domestic servants often come to help.
After a long time, there will naturally be mistakes. After Miss Hao's family rescued an inexplicable little beast, the first thing the little beast did after waking up was to bite off the arm of a healthy woman, and then to bite the little beast again. Most of the animals in the yard were devoured, and then they calmly escaped under the guard of the Hao family generals who were on the verge of a formidable enemy. Fortunately, Miss Hao's family was not in the embroidery building at this time, so she escaped unharmed! After that danger, Hao Yuanwai never allowed Miss Hao's family to keep small animals. However, Miss Hao's family is kind-hearted after all. When she sees unattended kittens and puppies, she can't help but hide them from Hao Yuanwai to take care of them. Hao Yuanwai has no choice but to tell the Hao family The lady's maid is only allowed to take care of and take in animals that are commonly seen, and these animals will be released or given away once they get better, and they are absolutely not allowed to appear near the Xiulou!
