Huashan female sword god

Chapter 159. 158. Unexpected Invitation

Ming Cheng Zhou custom.

Although the folk customs of the Ming Dynasty were slightly less open than the previous Dynasty's Great Zhou Dynasty, except for important border areas or special times, there were few curfews in other places at other times.

The same is true of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the same is true of Hengyang City, especially around the festive season!

The lights are on.

In Hengyang City, everyone is a small family, walking west and east with their wives and children. There are more and more people in the streets and alleys, lighting lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, drinking wine and admiring the moonlight.

Singing and dancing promotes peace and prosperity.

Welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival!
Laughing Maitreya is wearing a gray cloth monk robe, with a big bald head, a string of beads around his neck, and a string of beads on his hands. As always, he has a smiling face and a naive look. Passing through the crowd, finally came to the God of Cookery House, glanced at the signboard illuminated by bright lanterns, and walked in with a smile!
The God of Cookery Residence is brightly lit, as if it were daytime!
After he stepped in, a sharp-eyed guy immediately stepped forward, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "Master, please... May I ask whether you want to stay at the hotel?"

Smiling Maitreya laughed and said: "Amitabha... the threshold of the noble building is too high, and the little monk has nothing to live on, so he really can't afford food and shelter!"

The God of Cookery has been trained well, and the clerk's quality is not low. He didn't change his face with snobbery, and still kept his eyebrows down. He asked with a smile, "I don't know why the master came here?"

Smiling, Maitreya replied with a smile, "Young monk, I'm here to find someone!"

"I don't know who it is?"

Smiling Maitreya said: "I don't know who she is, I only know that her surname is Ling. She is a woman dressed as a man. She just moved into the noble building at dusk today. There should be seven or eight other men and women with her. Nuns, husbands and wives, girls, and attendants, I hope the benefactor can do something, come in and report!"

Seeing the details of what he said, the waiter was a little surprised, but the notification was just a trivial matter, so he responded: "There was indeed such a group of people in the building earlier, but I just asked the master to leave a dharma name and explain the purpose of coming. Go in and pass it on!"

Laughing Maitreya nodded and said, "That's right! I'm happy, little monk!"

The buddy was startled, and asked uncertainly, "Master's name is happy?"

Smiling Maitreya confirmed: "It is extremely, it is extremely, it is happiness! When the benefactor announced, he said that the happy monk was entrusted by the hero Yan, just come and invite benefactor Ling!"

The clerk couldn't help but take another look at him, Maitreya looks like a Buddha, he is really happy, his name lives up to his name!

"Master Happy, come with the little one first!"

Then he walked in, chose an empty table in a remote corner, and said: "Master, wait here for a while, and the little one will go in and pass on!"

There are nine courtyards in the back hall of the God of Cookery, and currently five are vacant. The third son Huang, who is not short of money, spent a lot of money to buy three of them, A, B, and C. Ling Shan and Lin Pinger live in one. In the courtyard, the four people from Wanlian Island live in the same courtyard, and I live in the same courtyard with my two entourages.

When the man knocked on the door outside the yard, it was the waitress arranged by the restaurant who opened the door!

The price of living in the God of Cookery Juke Hospital is high, but the service quality is also good.

Unless the guest asks not to, each courtyard will arrange maids to wait on them, and guarantee that they will be there whenever they are called, and they will be at their disposal... Of course, some excessive requests can still be refused, after all, the God of Cookery is a restaurant, not a brothel.

There are two maidservants in this second courtyard, who live in the hut next to the porter, Ling Shan and Lin Ping'er did not refuse!
The waitress who opened the door heard the guy's intention, so she asked the guy to wait outside, and then went in to tell the story!

At this time, Ling Shan was taking a bath in the room!

Hearing the report, he asked the attendant to reply that he couldn't get away because of something, and it would take a while before he could go out to meet guests, so he sent the attendant back to tell the monk!
This wait is less than half an hour!

Laughing Maitreya is also surprisingly patient!
Ling Shan was still dressed in men's clothes in white. She walked out of the courtyard and entered the lobby. She glanced around and saw a big fat monk sitting in a corner, turning her hand beads, laughing and looking at the passers-by!

Go straight past.

She arched her hands and asked, "But Master Happy?"

Laughing, Maitreya got up and folded his palms in return, and said, "It's the young monk. Dare I ask if the female benefactor's surname is Ling?"

Ling Shan nodded and said, "It's Ling! I had something to do earlier, and I kept Master waiting for a long time!"

Smiling, Maitreya smiled modestly and said, "It's the little monk's luck that the benefactor is willing to see the monk. How long will we wait?"

Ling Shan asked curiously: "I heard from the buddy that the master is entrusted by the hero Yan to look for me?"

Smiling Maitreya nodded and said: "That's right! Daxia Yan is waiting in a courtyard in Qingjing Hutong in Dongcheng. I hope the female benefactor can go and meet her!"

Ling Shan said, "I don't know which hero Yan it is?"

Smiling, Maitreya replied with a smile: "Although there are several famous heroes of Yan in the Jianghu, but at this moment, when it comes to heroes of Yan, it is naturally the heroes of Yantian and Nanyan!"

Ling Shan frowned and asked: "But I have never met Yan Daxia, how could he ask Grandmaster to find me?"

Smiling Maitreya still smiled and said: "If we have never met before, how come the Mid-Autumn Festival meeting? Monks don't tell lies, and monks never lie. Why bother to tempt the female benefactor?"

Ling Shan raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I'm overly suspicious, master, don't blame me! It's just that we can meet tomorrow, master, do you know what Yan Daxia is looking for me at this time?"

Smiling Maitreya glanced around, lowered his voice and said: "There are so many people here, it's hard to talk, is there a secluded place?"

Although the great monk said cautious words, there was no cautious look on his face, but he kept smiling. At most, at this time, the smile on the corner of his mouth weakened a little, which is really weird.

Ling Shan naturally noticed his expression. She had only seen one such person, and that was the White Dragon Envoy of Longmu Island who met once ten years ago. How is this smiling monk's martial arts? Can he compare with that white dragon envoy?
Thinking about it for no reason, Ling Shan took the fat monk to the back hall, to a secluded garden.

There was no one around, only the lights illuminated, Ling Shan asked: "This place is quiet, I don't fear people's hearing, master just say it, so careful, what's the secret behind it?"

Smiling Maitreya nodded and said: "Hero Yan fought against a mysterious master in Hengshan two days ago. He suffered some injuries and is currently recovering from his injuries. The reason he wants to see the female benefactor is related to the postponement of the sword competition. This matter should be discussed face to face. When the female benefactor talked about it, it was just that Yan Daxia was injured and unable to move, so he asked the little monk to come and invite him!"

Ling Shan glanced at the fat monk suspiciously, and frowned. This was unexpected news, so I don't know if it's true or not...

After thinking about it, she asked again: "Then how did Hero Yan know that I'm here?"

Smiling Maitreya said: "Since the hero Yan was injured that night, he wanted to postpone the date of the sword competition, so he talked about the appearance and characteristics of the female benefactor, and asked a few friends to keep an eye on the city gate and pay attention to the whereabouts of the female benefactor! Someone saw the female benefactor today. The benefactor is exactly the same as what Hero Yan described, so after telling Hero Yan, Hero Yan asked the little monk to come and invite him!"

Ling Shan nodded, and then said: "So that's the case! Then please go to the front hall, Master, and let me go back to my room and talk to my companions before I go to see the Great Xia Yan!"

Smiling Maitreya nodded and said with a smile: "The little monk will go outside first, and the benefactor is welcome!"

After parting, Ling Shan returned to the B-zi residential building and asked the waitress to find the shopkeeper of the God of Cookery!
She hadn't intended to expose the identity of the Rain Envoy, but the news from the fat monk was really unexpected, so she thought it would be better to find the master here to make sure!
If this incident really happened in Mount Heng two days ago, the spies from Huguo Villa must have heard about it!
