Unfortunately, this smile was the same as the shop assistant's, both with a kind of hypocrisy and sarcasm.
"Buddha has said, if I don't go to hell, who will?
You all have suffered in this mortal world. Although this old monk has already escaped from the sea of suffering, I still can't bear not to come and save you all! "
"Yes, yes, the great monk is merciful. My Longevity Town has Xiao Jin Temple, with a great master like the great monk, only then can we have a peaceful life. Those demons and ghosts don't dare to disturb us!"
The shop assistant's mouth was sharp, and now it was like a lotus flower blooming from his mouth. Hearing this, Xiao Hua was flabbergasted.
"The great monk must already be thirsty, please …" Another shop assistant hurriedly bowed and said, "please come to my humble store to serve tea!"
"This …" Zen Master Ming Yue's face showed an awkward expression, "This old monk still has to rush …"
However, without waiting for the monk to finish, a similarly fat shopkeeper immediately rushed out of the grocery store and shouted, "Zen Master, Zen Master, please come quickly. Last month, when I went to Xiao Jin Temple to worship Buddha, I didn't receive any guidance from the great monk. Now that you've come, you must stay in my humble store for a while!
This little one here has the newly arrived daughter tea from Cha Nu Country. It was picked by a young chick who was less than 61 years old. It's this year's new tea, just right for the great monk's status!
Moreover, this little one has already prepared everything for next month's visit to Xiao Jin Temple … "
Facing the enthusiasm of the grocery store owner, Zen Master Ming Yue was helpless. That fat hand pulled on his robe, he couldn't break free. He could only reluctantly say, "This old monk will only stay for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea ~"
"Please, please ~" Seeing Zen Master Ming Yue relent, the grocery store owner was overjoyed. He hurriedly extended his hand to invite Zen Master Ming Yue into the store. Zen Master Ming Yue turned his head and asked Xiao Hua with a smile, "This fellow immortal clearly looks unfamiliar, are you a traveling Daoist from outside?
Do you want to go in with this old monk to taste the tea? "
Seeing Zen Master Ming Yue's flaunting expression and the grocery store owner's disdainful gaze, how could Xiao Hua go in with them?
He smiled, he wouldn't lower himself to the same level as these people. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, how can the tea of the secular world enter this old man's mouth?"
After saying that, he walked away.
"Tsk …" Zen Master Ming Yue naturally wouldn't speak. The grocery store owner sneered and said, "I've seen many traveling Daoists like you!
He was not even comparable to ordinary beggars. Beggars could at least bow and kowtow.
Daoist Xiao from Jiangchao Temple can still … "
At this point, the grocery store owner suddenly stopped talking. Looking at Monk Ming Yue's displeased expression, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course, Xiao Daoist is just a Wild Fox Zen from some Taoist temple. It can't be compared to Master's Boundless Dharma."
"Hehe, Fellow Immortal Xiao, let's not talk about it!
After being locked in a stalemate with this old monk for so long in that small Taoist temple, his illness has seeped deep into his bones and he has reached the end of the wrong path. "
Monk Ming Yue immediately hid his displeasure. He looked at Xiao Hua's disappearing figure with pity and said, "But in this world, there are many people like that immortal friend just now. They have just stepped onto the wrong path, like a lost lamb.
I can't bear to see them go further and further away. I always want to give them a reminder or a warning … "
"Grandmaster is an expert!
This little one admires you! "The grocery store owner had a pious expression and respectfully welcomed Monk Ming Yue into the store to serve him tea.
"This Hidden Immortal Continent is actually different from Xiaoyu Continent!"
Xiao Hua also didn't take this matter to heart. While walking, he pondered, "According to Xu Zhuoliang, this Hidden Immortal Continent is where Confucian cultivators live. It is reasonable to say that Buddhist sects should avoid it. At the very least, they shouldn't be so arrogant right?
But this Monk Ming Yue is openly walking around this Longevity Town. Moreover, from what the grocery store owner said, this Small Gold Temple seems to be quite famous in Longevity Town. Those Confucian cultivators don't care?
Also, these mortals in Longevity Town seem to have a very good impression of Buddhist sects. Even when they saw the demon just now, they weren't afraid. How is it that the mortals of Xiaoyu Continent don't know the situation of Dao sects at all! "
"It really is like the saying, the Great Dao is 8555!
Not only for Dao sects, but also for Buddhist sects, Confucian cultivators, Dao sects. Mn, even that demon seems to be within the Great Dao! "
Xiao Hua understood, "What Buddhist sects emphasize is to enter the secular world. In this secular world, one can see through the secular world and comprehend the good fortune of Buddhism!
But, what about Confucian cultivators? "
Thinking up to here, Xiao Hua stopped. He looked at the few children who were playing around and smilingly went over to ask.
Xiao Hua naturally didn't know where those Confucian cultivators were, but when the slightly older child heard Xiao Hua ask where there were scholars, he immediately became excited. He smiled and pointed to the east of Longevity Town, saying that it was inside Longevity Academy!
Moreover, these children weren't afraid of strangers. They actually wanted to pull Xiao Hua's hand and bring him over.
However, when Xiao Hua heard the children say that they were going to walk for an hour, he immediately waved his hand and gave each of the children a Spirit Jujube that didn't have enough Spirit Qi. Then, he turned around and walked back.
He came out under the guise of buying steamed buns on credit. If he really went back for an hour, Daoist Xiao would really think that he had left.
After turning the corner, there was a place that sold rice. There weren't many women going in and out, each of them carrying bamboo baskets or cloth bags.
Xiao Hua's eyes lit up. He immediately had an idea. He looked around and walked to the side of the store. He found a shabby cloth bag and with a wave of his hand, some rice seeds fell into the bag. Then, he leisurely walked in.
Not long after, Xiao Hua came out with half a string of copper coins in his hand. There was a satisfied smile on his face.
"Actually, not all of Longevity Town's residents are like the owner of a grocery store!"
Xiao Hua looked at the street in front of him and laughed in his heart, "The owner of this rice shop didn't wait for this Xiao to open his mouth and immediately asked for some rice. Even if he accepted the rice, he still gave a few extra copper coins.
Looking at those children just now, this world isn't as bad as this Xiao thought! "
Soon after, Xiao Hua started walking again. He didn't go back the way he came, he still wanted to see more of Longevity Town's situation.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua still underestimated his sense of direction. After walking for half a cup of tea's time, he saw that there were fewer people on the street, more trash on the roadside, and even fewer shops on the street.
"Ai, I'm really successful!"
Xiao Hua's gaze swept over the distance. It seemed to be where people lived. He sighed and was about to release his soul sense.
At this time, a "pa pa pa pa" sound rang in his ears. Following this sound was a low moaning sound, and there were even sounds of begging for mercy!
These sounds were extremely soft, but in Xiao Hua's ears, they were extremely clear.
"Oh?" Xiao Hua was astonished. He scanned with his soul sense and couldn't help but frown.
Thinking for a moment, Xiao Hua walked across the street and entered a shabby door. He then passed through several deserted courtyards and arrived in front of a small courtyard.
This courtyard was several zhang in size. There was a pile of unknown junk in the courtyard. A crooked tree that was about to die was standing in the corner of the courtyard under the scorching noon sun.
At this moment, a young boy was tied to the crooked tree. Beside him were two strong men in their thirties. Their chests were open, revealing their chest hair and fat flesh. They held a stick as thick as a thumb in their hands. They were hitting the boy's head, face, and body with the stick one after another!
The "pa pa" sound, the low moaning, and the begging came from the boy's mouth. This boy was the one Xiao Hua saw on the street … .that thief.
"Master, master …." Without waiting for Xiao Hua to enter the courtyard, an even weaker voice came from the shabby house in the courtyard. "I beg you!
Spare my big brother!
He hasn't eaten in two days!
In order to treat my illness …. "
"Hahaha, so it's like this!"
Without waiting for the voice to finish speaking, an arrogant voice called out, "I was wondering why Liu Ge 'er was giving us so little money these days!
So it was all given to you, this little wench! "
"Master …." The boy called Liu Ge 'er weakly called out, "I've always given you what I should. The money used to treat Xiao Yun's illness is my own money!"
"Your own money?"
The other man hit Liu Ge 'er's cheek with his stick, leaving a trace of blood on his cheek. At the same time, a stream of blood flowed from the boy's mouth. "Your money is my money!
It's already noon today, how come I don't see a single copper coin?
What about yesterday and the day before?
You don't seem to have paid enough. If you have money to treat this wild girl, why don't you give it to me? "
"Xiao Yun isn't a wild girl. She's my little sister!" The boy coldly snorted and endured the pain.
"Hmph, she's just a bastard picked up from Liao Jiang!
You still dare to lie to me and say that you're looking for your little sister ~ "The man who hit the boy was still angry. He used all his strength to hit the boy and scolded," I didn't want to make it clear. I'll wait for you to raise her, then I'll sell her to a brothel!
However, seeing how sick she is now, I'm afraid she won't be able to live for long!
Third brother, why don't we … "
"Ga ga …" The other man very lasciviously laughed and scolded, "Second brother, how can you bear to lay your hands on such a weak and petite girl?
Besides, she doesn't have any taste … "
"What do you know …" That man threw the stick in his hand to the ground …
"Uncle, uncle …" Brother Liu yelled, "Xiao Yun is only eight years old, please let go of her!
She's still very young … "
Xiao Hua was standing outside the courtyard listening. At this time, he couldn't hold back anymore and kicked open the half-closed door. With a bang, the door was kicked flying.
"Who?"
The two large men were greatly alarmed. When they turned around and saw that it was only an eighteen year old youngster, they unconsciously put down their guard. Especially Xiao Hua's shoddy Daoist robe, which completely concealed his "jade-like" elegance.
"Where did this wild Daoist come from?
You don't want to live anymore? "The fat on Second brother's face trembled as he scolded.
"This Daoist master, quickly leave, quickly leave!"
Liu Ge didn't mention that Xiao Hua had bumped into him earlier. He thought that Xiao Hua was looking for him to give him bad luck, so he anxiously shouted.
PS: Who is Liu Ge?
Who is Xiao Yun?
