After Mu Qiuhuang had a profound conversation with Mu Qingen and his son, Mu Qiuhuang felt very satisfied. After returning to Wutong Garden, he took a hot bath and talked with Xia He for a few more rounds... until

I fell asleep late at night.

"Brother, haven't you gotten up yet?"

"Second Young Master, my Young Master slept late last night, so he hasn't gotten up yet..."

Mu Qiuhuang was woken up by the noise outside the house.

"What's going on?" Mu Qiuhuang shouted, and the outside suddenly became quiet.

"Sir, you're up." Xia He walked into the room carrying a basin of water.

"What's going on?" Mu Qiuhuang asked, splashing a handful of water on his face, and then buried his whole face in the basin. He was refreshed by the cold water and finally woke up completely.

"It's the second young master. The second young master came over with a food box and said he wanted to thank you. Chuntao said that the young master hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't let him in."

"Thank me?" Mu Qiuhuang's heart moved, and then she remembered what happened.

"Okay, let him come in and wait in the front hall, I will go right away." Mu Qiuhuang ordered.

"Brother, this maid Chuntao is too young, she even stopped me..."

As soon as Mu Qiuhuang stepped into the hall, Mu Qiulin started chattering.

"I told her to do this. I don't like to be disturbed when I'm sleeping. By the way, what do you want from me?" Mu Qiuhuang asked calmly.

"Isn't this just to thank you, brother? Thanks to you interceding with dad on my behalf, dad has agreed to let me go to Loulan."

Mu Qiulin pointed to the food box and said, "I shot an elk a few days ago and it tasted very good. I specially sent some deer breasts for my brother to try."

"Thank you, second brother." Mu Qiuhuang smiled.

"I should really thank you brother. Okay, brother, please eat it while it's hot. I'll go back and pack my luggage."

Not long after Mu Qiulin left, Mu Qiuhuang told Chuntao: "Let people prepare the horses. I will go to Liujing River. By the way, Xia He, go and tell Dongxue to let him go with me."

"Young Master, you just came back and rested for the night before you go again? And you brought Sister Dongxue with you?" Chuntao's eyes widened.

"What are you thinking about all day long, girl?" Mu Qiuhuang glared at Chuntao angrily.

…

Mu Qiuhuang's visit to Liujing River today was not as grand as it was two days ago. She and Dongxue just came quietly. However, when they arrived at Liujing River, they saw that there was another crowd in front of Liujing River.

A lot of people are talking about it.

"The great monk has been standing there for more than an hour without even changing his posture. Isn't he tired?"

"I don't know whether the elder monk is tired or not, but the little monk is suffering. Look at how cute the little monk is with his red lips and white teeth."

"In my opinion, that monk should be an eminent monk?"

"Bah! An eminent monk who has attained Taoism still comes to stand at the door of a brothel? If you ask me, he should be a flower monk, which is more or less the same."

"They just stood at the door and didn't go in? Besides, what's the point of a big monk visiting a brothel with a young monk?" someone argued.

"Is that because he doesn't want to go in? It's because he can't go in. You don't know that Liujing River has been booked by our Crown Prince for three days. As for bringing the young monk, maybe people in the Buddhist sect like this kind of teaching.

maybe."

"Stop talking nonsense, be careful of Buddha blaming..."

"The blame is also on the great monk, what does it have to do with me?"

…

Seeing that the door was surrounded by a crowd, the two of them had no choice but to get off their horses. Mu Qiuhuang's dress today was not much different from the day before. However, Dongxue beside her changed her usual women's clothing today and dressed up as a man. Although Dongxue

Wearing men's clothes, but still not changing my preference, this men's clothes are also whiter than snow.

As soon as Mu Qiuhuang and the two came to the crowd, someone with sharp eyes recognized Mu Qiuhuang's identity.

I don’t know who the handsome young master is with the prince? But seeing that he has a majestic appearance, a sword on his waist, and is walking with the prince, everyone just wonders which rich and noble son he is, and they can’t help but make way for the two of them.

Mu Qiuhuang looked up and saw two monks, one big and one small, among the crowd.

The big monk looked about fifty years old, skinny, holding a copper and tin staff, wearing a gray monk's robe, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The little monk only looked seven or eight years old, with red lips and white teeth, and was similar to the big monk.

He is dressed normally, except that he does not have a tin stick in his hand, but carries a gray cloth bag on his back.

Mu Qiuhuang noticed that the originally gray robes of the two monks had turned white after being washed, and the edges of the straw sandals on their feet were also extremely worn. It could be seen that these two monks must have traveled a long distance and belonged to the category of ascetics.

Although the two monks were simply dressed, they were clean from head to toe. Not only were the monks' robes washed clean, but even the straw sandals on their feet were clean and free of any dirt.

The big monk held a copper staff in one hand and held a rosary in the other. He stood there motionless, turning a deaf ear to the comments of the people around him, as if he was a virtuous monk. The young monk was obviously seeing this kind of formation for the first time.

The people around him were talking and looking embarrassed, obviously it was because of the old monk that he didn't leave.

"You said that the old bustard of Liujing River is too stingy. This old monk has been standing here for so long, and he has not been sent away with a few pieces of silver." Someone insulted.

Hearing someone insulting the old madam, someone in the crowd immediately echoed: "Yes, I heard that the prince spent a hundred thousand gold on it two days ago? This old madam is really stingy as a mother."

As soon as he finished speaking, a different voice came out: "Hey! You have wronged Sun Yaoniang! They sent the boy out to give the monk money as early as when the monk first came, but this monk didn't appreciate it!"

"Hu Er, who doesn't know that you have been thinking about Sun Yaoniang's pomegranate skirt for more than a day or two, but even if she is almost your old lady, she still doesn't like you. Just letting you smell it occasionally can make you fall in love with her.

The madam says such nice things, are you really an infatuated person?" Someone laughed.

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. The boy named Hu Er blushed with embarrassment and shouted: "Really, if you don't believe me, ask those two monks, I really am not telling lies."

Everyone burst into laughter, obviously not believing what Hu Er said. At this moment, the door of the Huafang opened and Sun Yaoniang walked out with her plump buttocks twisted.

Sun Yaoniang walked straight to the little monk and was about to pinch his face. However, when she put her hand in front of the little monk's face, she found that her pinch was empty. When she took her hand back, she saw that the little monk was standing there with nothing at all.

Although Sun Yaoniang was surprised, she didn't think much about it and just thought it was because she was dazzled.

Dongxue also focused all her attention on the big monk and did not notice the little monk's movements. She leaned into Mu Qiuhuang's ear and whispered softly: "Young master, be careful, these two monks are not like ordinary monks. Then

The joints of the great monk's hand holding the tin staff are calloused, so he must be practicing martial arts."

"Well! Let's wait and see what happens." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and responded in a low voice, but her eyes were on the little monk.

Although Mu Qiuhuang's Qihai was destroyed, his eyesight was still there. He just noticed that when the old bustard was about to pinch the young monk's face, the young monk dodged him. Because the young monk's movement skills were too fast, he could not move in the ordinary way.

It looks like the person is standing still and not moving...

"Is he just like Wu Lingtong, but also an old goblin?" Mu Qiuhuang asked doubtfully.

Ever since she met Wu Lingtong, Mu Qiuhuang became a little more wary of this kind of child who looked like a child but didn't look like a child.

Although Sun Yaoniang's hands were empty, she kept talking and said to the little monk: "Hey! What a handsome little monk, but he is a little thin, and it seems that he can't afford meat at ordinary times.

Why don't you return to secular life and come to my sister's place? She will take care of you and make sure you have plenty of meat and fish every day. There is also the fragrance of flowers in my building, which is much more delicious than following the old monk Qing Deng and the Ancient Buddha. How about it?"

The young monk didn't say anything when he heard this. In addition to embarrassment, there was also a hint of shyness on his face, which made him look very cute.

"Yao Niang, if you want a man, tell me, sir, and I will satisfy you! This little monk is just a child, just let him go." A regular customer in the crowd teased Sun Yao Niang, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

laugh.

Sun Yaoniang's face did not change when she heard this, and she shouted to the crowd: "Hey! It turns out to be Mr. Li. What's wrong? My wife is not around these days? Then bring enough money to the Crystal River tomorrow, and I promise to serve you, Yao Niang."

It’s comfortable.”

"Okay! Tomorrow I will bring enough silver to test your tongue curling skills with the silver spear."

"Better say goodbye. My dear, I'm afraid your wife will come upstairs."

Sun Yaoniang replied and ignored it. She turned around and came to the great monk and said charmingly: "Hey! Great monk, I don't even want to give you any money. Do you really want to enter this building of the slave's house to have fun? But didn't the slave's family tell you that?

"Liujinghe has been booked for three days. If you don't come back tomorrow, as long as you bring enough silver, I can personally serve you."

"Bah! How shameless." Dong Xue cursed in a low voice.

Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly when she heard this, knowing that she couldn't get used to Sun Yaoniang's behavior.

"Okay, great monk! Although my building has been booked for three days and I won't welcome guests today, it's not a big deal for you to stand here all the time. In this way, I'll be generous to you today, My Lady, and I'll give you these ten taels of gold."

Take it, it will be enough for you and this little monk to have food and drink for a year." Sun Yao Niang took out a gold ingot from her arms and handed it to the big monk.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, thinking that this old bustard was really willing to give up.

But who knew that the great monk turned a blind eye to Sun Yaoniang's words and the gold, and remained motionless, even closing his eyes to meditate.

Seeing this, Sun Yaoniang's face changed, showing a bit of fierceness, and said angrily: "Master, please don't toast me and you will be punished with the wine."

A Buddhist believer in the crowd couldn't help but persuade him: "Monk, ten taels of gold is quite a lot, just accept it when you see fit."

"Yes! It's not a problem for a monk to stand at someone's door."

…

The crowd tried to persuade him, but the great monk remained motionless.

"Everyone has seen it. It's not that I, Sun Yao Niang, am unkind, but it's actually that this great monk is too greedy." Sun Yao Niang was already furious at this time.

"Come here! Drive these two monks elsewhere."

Sun Yaoniang said hello, and the brothel thugs who had been preparing for a long time rushed out.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but worry for the monk. Sun Yaoniang could become the shopkeeper of Liujing River. Naturally, her abilities and skills were far from being as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, how could she manage the hundreds of girls in the building obediently? These brothels

Most of the thugs had people with lives on their hands, and they all struck hard and dared to kill.

Seeing the thugs being released from the brothel, the monk still stood still and didn't even open his eyelids.

When the thugs saw the great monk acting like this, they felt even more annoyed at being ignored. First, a few people went up and pushed the great monk. Unexpectedly, the great monk did not move at all. Seeing that the great monk could not be pushed, the thugs did not move.

No matter how hard he tried, he actually hit the great monk with a stick.

The great monk did not dodge or fight back, and allowed the sticks of the thugs to fall on him. But the strange thing was that the monk did not even frown, as if he was not the one being beaten.

Seeing the elder monk being beaten, the younger monk's expression remained normal. Instead of being worried, he sat on the ground and watched with interest.

With a "click", a stick that hit the great monk on the head broke into two pieces.

"King Kong is indestructible? That's interesting." Mu Qiuhuang said to himself.

Seeing that the sticks were broken, the brothel thugs were not afraid. Some of them even took out their knives. This time, there was a thug who rushed towards the young monk with a knife.

Seeing that the knife was about to stab the young monk, Dongxue finally couldn't help but take action.
