That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1074 Goodbye Little Monk Back then

Saying goodbye to Mutang, the husband and wife continued on their way, and soon arrived at the destination of the trip, the abbot's room.

The so-called abbot's room, to put it bluntly, is the abbot's living room. Following the previous example, it is square and upright, with each side being one foot long. It is really not too big.Especially among the tall palaces, it is even more inconspicuous. It is hard to believe that this is where the master abbot who governs Buddhism is located.

At this time, in front of the abbot's room, stood a young monk with delicate features, dressed in a white monk's robe, and looked very dusty.

It was him just now who blocked the way of the majestic King Liao, causing Mutang to return angrily.

Xu Beiyou stopped and looked at this little monk for a long time, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he said softly to Xiao Zhinan who was beside him, "It seems that he is still an acquaintance."

Then, Xu Beiyou signaled Xiao Zhinan to wait at the spot for a while, and he stepped forward alone to the little monk.

Xu Beiyou once had a relationship with this young monk. When he traveled with his master to the Northwest Beyond the Great Wall, he and Zhiyun went to the Thousand Buddha Caves together. He had already lost power in the Buddhist sect, and was squeezed out from the majestic position of the head of the Dragon Department to be a supervisor monk in the Thousand Buddha Caves in the northwest, and thus Xu Beiyou and Zhang Wubing met for the first time.

Xu Beiyou can still remember that at that time Zhang Wubing had a Jiedao pinned to his waist, held a torch in one hand, and was holding the little monk with the other.It's just that I haven't seen him for a few years. This little monk has grown up a lot and changed his attire again. Xu Beiyou almost didn't dare to recognize him. After watching for a long time, Xu Beiyou dared to confirm that the little monk in front of him was the one who followed Zhang Wubing back then. That little monk.

But how did this little monk become Qiuyue's personal servant?
Or was he originally a hidden child that Qiuyue planted beside Zhang Wubing?
Xu Beiyou restrained his thoughts and asked with a smile, "Little monk? Do you still remember me?"

The little monk had already seen Xu Beiyou, but the current Xu Beiyou was quite different from before, and he had white hair, so he didn't think about it at all. Hearing Xu Beiyou's words at this time, he looked at him for a long time, and said hesitantly: " This benefactor, have we met before?"

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "Of course I saw it. In the 20th year of Taiping, in Xiliang Prefecture, Thousand Buddha Caves."

The little monk was taken aback for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said pleasantly, "You are Xu Beiyou!?"

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "You still remember my name, but I don't know what your dharma name is."

The little monk suddenly remembered his responsibilities, suppressed the joy on his face, and said respectfully: "The little monk has not been awarded a dharma title yet, and he still uses the lay name, surname Zhang, and double name Mu Mu."

"Zhang Mumu?" Xu Beiyou said a little amusedly: "Who gave you this name? Two trees are forests, why not just call them Zhang Lin? The word 'Mumu' feels a little random."

"This is the name my master gave me." Zhang Mumu seemed to have experienced such a thing for the first time, and explained earnestly: "It's not two wooden characters, but '木' for pumice and sunken wood and '木' for sun set and far away. '."

At this moment, Xiao Zhinan also came over, and said with a smile: "Wood is what it says and touches, and yang energy moves and jumps out when it touches the ground. Evening is late, the two are combined, Zhang Binghu may be hoping that you It's a late bloomer."

Zhang Mumu looked at the beautiful woman who was talking, his Zen mind was unsteady, he didn't dare to look directly, his face was reddish, he lowered his head, and asked shyly: "This female benefactor, do you also know my master?"

"Of course I recognize this." Xiao Zhinan said, "And it's very familiar."

Hearing this, the little monk unconsciously felt a little close to this beautiful woman, but he still leaned towards Xu Beiyou, and asked in a low voice: "Xu Bei... benefactor, who is this benefactor with you?" what relationship?"

Xu Beiyou also imitated him and lowered his voice, "My wife."

The little monk was taken aback, "What is a wife?"

Xu Beiyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's what my wife meant."

At that time, Wang Jinqing, the consort of the Great Chu, once wrote a poem, "Wife is impatient and persuades her." From this, the word "wife" became known all over the world, referring to the married wife.

The little monk let out a long voice, and immediately understood.

Then he lowered his voice, "Where is Zhiyun who was with you back then? Why did you change?"

Although the little monk had put some distance away from Xiao Zhinan, and deliberately lowered his voice, but Xiao Zhinan was a real monk on the [-]th Floor of the Earth Immortal, so these words must have been heard in his ears.

It's just that Xiao Zhinan was so thoughtful, and how could he embarrass her husband in front of others, he just pretended not to hear, and looked at the snow scene in the distance with his hands behind his back.

Xu Beiyou coughed lightly, and said, "Junior Sister Zhiyun has worshiped Daoist Daoist Daoist Master as her teacher, and I am no longer on the same side as me."

"Master Master Teacher!" Zhang Mumu was taken aback, and his voice was unconsciously raised, "That's really a great future, Zhiyun is still blessed."

Now Xiao Zhinan could no longer pretend to hear everything, turned his head, first took a look at Xu Beiyou, and then said: "My little master, my husband and I are here to pay a visit to the abbot, and I have to trouble the little master to communicate. Pass one or two."

Only then did the little monk remember his original responsibilities, and hurriedly apologized to Xiao Zhinan, and then went to the abbot's room behind him.

Not long after, Zhang Mumu went and came back, bowed to the two of them together and said: "The abbot invites the two benefactors to come in for a talk."

Led by the young monk, the couple came to the door of the abbot's room. It was just an ordinary stone door, far incomparable to the two tens of feet tall doors of the Daxiong Palace. The young monk did not enter, but only invited two distinguished guests to enter. in.

Entering the abbot's room, it really is worthy of the name. It is only the size of the abbot, and it is airtight. There are only three stone walls and the stone gate at the entrance. A futon is placed on the position facing the south and the north. The young monk is actually in his prime, and there are many candles around him, illuminating the place brightly, and there are two futons in front of him, which should be reserved for visitors.

Seeing the two of them, Qiuyue stretched out her palm as a gesture of invitation, "His Royal Highness, Sect Master Xu, please sit down."

The husband and wife looked at each other and sat down separately.

Although since the chairs were introduced from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, "sitting in ambush" has gradually replaced "sitting upright", but at this time, the husband and wife did not sit cross-legged to show their solemnity. On the futon.

Qiuyue bowed to the two of them first, and said: "This time, Sovereign Xu and His Royal Highness Princess Chang went to the Yulan Basin Festival in person, and Qiuyue thanked them."

Xiao Zhinan straightened his back, put his hands on his knees, and said slowly: "My husband invited the Dragon King of Buddhism to the imperial capital as a guest, and I should also apologize to Master Abbot."
