Chapter 035 – Half a Catty of Red Makeup
Mt. Ruoduo?
There is a kind of extremity there that makes people revered, many of the characters’ mundane identities before entering Ragged Mountain are unattainable, may be the king of Ganlu Rice, perhaps the prince of Shizi Kingdom, or the royalty of the Peacock Dynasty, one more than the other, exalted and illustrious. Only after entering the Rotten Mountain asceticism, out of the world and then into the world, they fell into the dust and mud, and ordinary monks, Rotten Mountain precepts are numerous, can not wear silk, the robe can not be folded, can not be satiated, sleep can only be curled up with their legs curled up on a one meter square of cloth cushion, the rules of a lot of people, enough to make people in the Central Plains jaws drop. His Highness has heard about the legend of Ruta Mountain, for example, there are traveling monks on the side of the road to see lost items, they will first draw a circle around the items, and then sit on the side, and often will be waiting for a few days are not fruitful, but generally speaking, Ruta Mountain monks drew a circle of the things, there will be no outsiders to get covetous. What’s more, there is still an old monk alive in Rutuo Mountain who has been drawing a circle for thirty-four years, the problem is that the world doesn’t know what this living Buddha reincarnated monk is waiting for in the end.
Therefore, monks who have traveled to Ragdoll Mountain to practice are equal to a golden signboard, and they are popular everywhere. Some fake abbots who shaved their hair and pretended to be bald donkeys liked to say “I am a poor monk from Mount Rotor” as the first sentence.
Rotten Mountain cultivation is very hard, very strict discipleship, so a total of three hundred people of the temple, but with disciples all over the world of the two Zen Temple, one east and one west, a mirror image of each other.
This red-clothed monk said from the Rotten Mountain, Xu Fengyen believe, half of his party to reach out and chanting, the other half is to feel the monk’s qi flow as the great river to the east, just look at the monk’s words and deeds demeanor and temperament, it is immovable as a mountain of stillness, but inside, it is the river rushing into the sea.
Xu Fengyen, although the Rangtuo Mountain as well as the monks are very good, but to say that forcibly abducted him as the son of his highness to the western region, this is not negotiable, so the grim smile asked: “If I do not go?”
Embroidered winter knife is about to be sheathed.
This first knife down the mountain, Xu Fengyen was sure to split a whole wall.
How did he not expect that the monk merely said nonchalantly, “The poor monk can wait.”
Xu Fengyen’s thumb holding the sword habitually rubbed the hilt and asked, “Wait?”
The solemn-faced monk walked around Xu Fengyen and then quietly retreated to the distance, without any intention to kidnap or block His Highness the World Son.
Not only did Xu Fengyen feel absurd, even the little girl watching the play felt incomprehensible, she felt that it was still more interesting to have those dabbling monks in her own home, the mountain of rotten what-do-wells was too tedious.
The little girl finally came back to her senses and looked at Xu Fenian and asked in a small voice: ”Xu Fenian, you are the son of that whoever? Then wouldn’t you be His Royal Highness the World’s Son?”
Whoever whoever, must be Xu Snapdragon.
Regardless of the Taoist and Buddhist sects, regardless of male or female, young or old, as long as one was in the jungle, it seemed that no one dared to call the Great Pillar State Xu Primrose by his name.
Secretly keeping an eye on the flow of qi of the great monk of Rotten Mountain, the so-called of riding a bull, that is, Xu Fengnian, who was still carrying the beef in sauce, asked with a smile, “Afraid? Regret knowing me?”
The little girl hahaha even laughed three times, but how to look like in their own courage, Xu Fengyen look doubly interesting, also do not reveal, before a peer to walk the river, encountered the situation, this niece has never been a loser not to lose the battlefield, cursing the most fierce, run the fastest way.
Little monk said in a weak voice: “something, let’s go, anyway, people have seen. If we don’t go back to the temple, master and mother will fight with the abbot again.”
The little girl looked at Xu Fenian, then looked at the little monk, seemingly having a hard time deciding between Green Yanzhi and going home, but her pair of autumn water eyes were subconsciously swirling around the fragrant soy sauce beef. Xu Fengyen did not want to make this simple-minded little girl difficult, first without saying a word to the sauce meat into the hands of the little girl, turned around and left: “Wait for me for a moment, first eat the beef, and then let Xu Fengyen to send you a ride, there is no reason to arrive in Liangzhou but also to go out of the city on a hungry stomach.”
Xu Fengyen walked towards the rouge store in the east of the city, passing by the beef store, he saw a girl who was much taller with a still tender face, carrying a bamboo branch, sitting on the threshold and looking at himself.
His Highness is anxious to buy rouge, did not greet, that green swallow branch is famous, or due to the second sister Xu Weixiong’s a poem of autumn, Xu Fengyen in the rouge store for nothing, the shopkeeper is also willing, and then again in the past His Highness took the size of the cool land flower girl to store to pick rouge, if the rouge in favor of the flower girl who are heartily happy, His Highness is going to reward some silver to the store, in the end, hung the “green plum”, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store, the store. In the end, the rouge store with the plaque “Qingmei” is still making a lot of money and losing a little. Xu Fengyen arrived at the store, picked a box of green bird’s nest and two boxes of noble princess peaches, and left, the store was silent, a few concubines brought to spend a lot of money on the rich man even bowed his head and did not say a word.
Over there, the little monk looked at the little girl whose hands were full of grease and reminded: ”This is Xu Fengnian? He’s His Highness the World’s Son, and he seems to have a bad reputation.”
The little girl tore into the soy sauce beef and said expansively, “I’m not good looking either, Xu Fengnian can’t see it.”
The little monk got anxious and said, “Who said that?!”
The little girl ignored her childhood friend’s anxiety and heatedly said, “Mother told me in the future when I look for a bosom friend, I can’t look for one that’s too pretty, it will snatch the man away. Looking for a male friend, also can not find too handsome, easy to attract bees and butterflies, I am considered half a monk, kill too much is not good.”
The little monk had to move out of the backing, asked, “Thing, have you forgotten what master teacher’s wife said about men and women outside the temple?”
The little girl said in a serious manner, “Of course I remember ah, my father said that the men outside the temple, are all hands cracking tigers and leopards to kill the evil man. My mother said that the women outside the temple, are all honey-mouthed sword snake heart poisonous woman. Dumb north and south, you stupid ah, my parents say so, is to scare me.”
The stupid and silly little monk was silent.
The little girl tilted her head and asked, “You hate Xu Fengnian?”
The little monk shook his head and said, “If something likes it, I like it.”
The little girl made a couple of hmmmms, the words sounded good, so she didn’t bother about the unpleasant name “stuff”.
Xu Fengyen brought the rouge to the little girl, saw the playful look of the little girl wiping her face with her sleeve, handed the thing into the little girl’s hands, smiled and said, “It’s for you.”
The little monk looked at the little girl’s joyful look, he was not annoyed, but only sighed in an old-fashioned manner.
The little girl hesitated, “Xu Fenian, is that whoever is in the king’s mansion?”
Xu Fenian laughed, “It will take two days before he can rush back from the northern border.”
She bounced a bit, “Then let’s go to your house to take a look?”
Xu Fenian couldn’t help but laugh.
The next thing that made Xu Fenian see more of this heroine’s nerve toughness was that when she arrived at the entrance of the Beiliang King’s Mansion, she glanced at the two Zhenguo lions and said in a fervent manner, “It’s a pity that there’s none in front of my house.”
Entering the gate of the Royal Mansion and seeing the majestic buildings that stretched all the way to the top of Qingliang Mountain, she murmured, “Quite big yo, it’s half the size of my house.”
Seeing the living water lake and the tide pavilion, she smiled and said, “I like this pond, my pond does not have this momentum. Stupid north and south, you use your heart to learn from my father, learn the kung fu of moving mountains and seas as early as possible, and move this pond back.”
Xu Fenian laughed generously, “Just move it.”
The little monk said softly, “Thing, our temple is your home, but it is not your home.”
The little girl glared, “There is a difference?”
The little monk, obviously not a guy who could hold his own in front of her, whispered, “Right?”
The little girl asked, “Then let me ask you, is the white horse a horse?”
The little monk who thought that he had learned Buddhism from his master only after he mistakenly fell into a thief’s boat in the temple was even more unsure, repeating, “Right?”
Xu Fengyen had placed the pair of children in a courtyard near Wutong Court, which showed the importance he placed on the little girl. This way, Xu Fengyen didn’t dare to look at her more, for fear of scaring this little heroine who always likes to chatter with her mouth, not to measure the little girl, then he had to observe the little monk, that body of green bridesmaid light red robe is accurately the attire of the lecturing monks in the Sakyamuni sect, although it’s not as good as two types of scarlet and purple robes given by the imperial court to the accomplished monks, but it’s still quite rare, the one who wears this robe has three great merits and virtues in his body, he gets the blessing of heavenly dragons and worship of all beings and the Rakshasa respect. Xu Fengnian became more and more curious about which temple the little girl called home.
Xu Fengnian sat in the courtyard, the little girl was overjoyed about her place of residence, running around in the house with excitement, the robe is not partial to the right shoulder but the left shoulder of the little monk squatting next to a swing, looking at the clear sky.
Sweet Potato quietly came behind His Highness the World Prince.
After descending the mountain Xu Fengyen had learned that the white haired old kui had defeated Wei Beishan, the magnificent warrior who used the chopping saber, and both had left Beiliang. In the martial arts, the Xuan Yuan family has been languishing under the suppression of Yuan Zuo Zong and Lu Qiu Er. The villainous butcher Chen Zhi Bao has raked in another sky-high military success on the border.
Xu Snap is going back to his house soon.
Second sister Xu Weixiong also seems to be going home for the New Year.
Xu Fengyen was certain that his second sister had come to scold him, scolding Xu Snapdragon for his lax discipline, and even more so, scolding himself for practicing his sword after eating too much.
Xu Fengyen rubbed his always fiery brow and laughed to himself, “Sweet Potato, you can prepare the cotton.”
Sweet Potato agreed with a smile.
Within the royal residence, who wasn’t afraid of Xu Weixiong?
Xu Fengyen turned his head to see the little girl carrying the corner of her coat, wriggling out of the house.
The red makeup on her face should weigh half a kilogram, right?
The little monk stared wide-eyed.
Sweet potato skimmed his head, really a little miserable na ……
Xu Fenian got up and smiled, “It’s so pretty.”
