Chapter 3194

"Squire Hao!" Xiao Jian seemed to have seen this old man before. Without waiting for the old man to speak, he quickly walked forward and shouted.

Squire Hao's expression was somewhat dispirited. Although there was a kind of expectation in his eyes, it was extinguished in the darkness of the night. However, after hearing Xiao Jian's shout, Squire Hao raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face. He walked out of the moon gate and cupped his hands, "Daoist Master Xiao!

I have heard of Daoist Master Xiao's reputation, but I have never had the chance to meet you.

Now that I have seen you today, it is just as I thought. You have the demeanor of an immortal! "

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Xiao Jian cupped his hands and said, "I am only one of the thousands of cultivators in my Daoist Sect!

Because of the favor of the Sea God, the Jiangchao Temple was able to bring Daoist Master Xiao's favor to the people of Longevity Town. I am only standing in … "

Xiao Jian's routine of modesty!

However, before he could finish speaking, "Dang, dang, dang …" From the moon gate came the sound of a wooden fish, which made Xiao Jian frown.

Xiao Jian's words were immediately interrupted. He looked at the shadow behind Squire Hao with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, Daoist Master Xiao ~" Squire Hao's face was slightly embarrassed. He said in a low voice, "I have sent the goose feather letter to the Jiangchao Temple, but I haven't seen Daoist Master Xiao for a long time.

I know that the Jiangchao Temple is very popular now, so Daoist Master Xiao doesn't have much time.

Therefore, I thought of the monks of the Small Gold Temple!

Of course, the Small Gold Temple can't be compared to the Jiangchao Temple, but it is better than nothing, right?

Therefore, I took the liberty to … invite the monks of the Small Gold Temple!

Of course, since Daoist Master Xiao is here, I will drive these monks away! "

After saying that, Squire Hao pretended to turn around.

Xiao Jian's heart was as clear as a mirror!

Hao Yulong (His name was changed) must have sent the goose feather letter to him and immediately left for the Small Gold Temple without waiting for his reply.

Since Squire Hao had invited the monks of the Small Gold Temple and the Jiangchao Temple, how could he drive them away?

What he said just now was just polite words!

If he had followed his words, he would have been the one to be driven away!

Therefore, Xiao Jian quickly pulled Squire Hao's sleeve and said, "Squire Hao's words!"

"Oh?

What do you mean, Daoist Xiao? "Squire Hao wasn't surprised that Xiao Jian stopped him, but he still asked.

"Xiao Jin Temple is a branch of Buddhism. Naturally, it has its own unique side." Xiao Jian said with a smile, "Since they have come, let them make the first move.

It wouldn't be too late for Little Daoist to make his move when they were helpless!

Otherwise, wouldn't the official lose face? "

"Hehe, that's true, that's true!"

Squire Hao slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly. "I invited them here. If I drive them away now, wouldn't it seem like I'm disrespecting Buddha?

The Taoist priest's reminder was the best!

Even if they can't, we can't not give them a chance! "

"Exactly, exactly!" Xiao Jian nodded with a smile.

"This Daoist is …" Squire Hao looked at Xiao Hua behind Xiao Jian and asked in a low voice after finishing his polite greeting.

"Oh, this is also a fellow Daoist from the Daoist School. He is passing by the Longevity Town!"

Xiao Jian said hurriedly, "He heard that there will be an Immortal Buddhist Ceremony tomorrow, and my Jiangchao Temple will accept the challenge of Xiao Jin Temple. Therefore, he stayed to help Little Daoist!

However, he is not good with words. I hope Squire Hao can understand! "

"I see!"

Squire Hao nodded. It seemed that he didn't care about the challenge. He said, "Then, please come in!"

"Squire Hao, please!" Xiao Jian raised his hand and gestured.

Squire Hao didn't stand on ceremony. He turned around and entered the Moon Gate. When he turned his head, an indescribable gloom appeared in his eyes. It was more obvious than the shadow between the light and the darkness.

Xiao Jian glanced at the silent Xiao Hua and the butler Hao Yulong, who was frowning beside Xiao Hua. His heart felt heavy.

Generally speaking, Squire Hao should have told him what happened to the Hao Family. Then, he would have thought about how to deal with the Moon Gate.

However, Squire Hao's abnormality made Xiao Jian's heart skip a beat. Squire Hao must have encountered something very difficult, or even something very embarrassing. That was why he couldn't speak. Xiao Jian was afraid that he could only adapt according to the situation.

After passing through the Moon Gate, what came into view was an extremely tall and lush osmanthus tree. Under the osmanthus tree, there was a two-story embroidered building, which was brightly lit. Around the embroidered building, there were several bald monks sitting cross-legged. Each of them had a wooden fish in their hands, and they were tapping it merrily. The murmuring of sutras flowed out from their mouths.

In front of the monks was a three-foot high Zen platform. Another monk wearing a yellow kasaya was sitting cross-legged on it. He held a Zen staff in his hand and wore a monk's crown on his head. He was also chanting something with his eyes closed.

Although this monk's back was facing Xiao Jian, and it was night time, Xiao Jian could recognize at a glance that this monk was Ming Fa of Xiao Jin Temple!

"Strange ~" Xiao Jian was surprised. "What's wrong with Xiao Jin Temple today?

Why didn't the old monk Ming Yue come?

Why did they only send Ming Fa?

Damn it, this old man's reputation has fallen! "

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian looked around again. Behind these monks were some vulgar housewives. They were standing with their sleeves pulled up. Their gazes passed over the monks' bald heads and fell on the lights of the embroidered building.

Looking at the surroundings of the embroidered building, at the edge of the flowers and trees, there were burly men holding swords and other weapons in their hands. They were guarding there very vigilantly.

"Ah, bitter!"

Seeing the Hao Clan's formation, Xiao Jian first felt regret in his heart. "Damn it, why did I open the goose feather letter for no reason!

Leaving it there … Even if Minister Hao blames me, I can just say that I didn't see it!

Now, I've received a hot potato. Last time, when Minister Lu invited me over, it wasn't like this … I just don't know if Senior Xiao can … "

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian couldn't help but slightly turn his head and glance at Xiao Hua from the corner of his eyes.

Xiao Hua still had the same expression. He narrowed his eyes and no expression could be seen.

On the contrary, when Hao Yulong saw Xiao Jian turn his head, he hurriedly walked over and whispered, "Daoist Xiao, the place in front of the embroidered building was originally reserved for Daoist Xiao.

However, when Daoist Xiao didn't come, Master Ming Fa of the Small Gold Temple came and had no choice but to give it to them. "

"It doesn't matter!"

Xiao Jian saw that Minister Hao was already sitting on a brocade chair not far away. His gaze once again returned to the embroidered building. How could he still care about this matter? He asked again, "Now that things have come to this, can the housekeeper tell me the reason for this matter?"

"Yes, Daoist Xiao, this way please!" Hao Yulong nodded in agreement and extended his hand to lead Xiao Jian to walk under the cassia tree.

Just as the three of them walked past the cassia tree, there was a loud rustling sound. The cassia tree shook violently for no reason, and leaves fell from the cassia tree, scattering all over Xiao Jian and the others!

Not only was Xiao Jian startled, but it also attracted the attention of the monks of the Small Gold Temple. Their gazes, sharper than swords, instantly clashed with Xiao Jian's gaze several times.

On the contrary, Hao Yulong didn't have any abnormalities. It was as if he had already experienced this.

Seeing that Hao Yulong didn't panic and Xiao Hua still had that deadpan expression, Xiao Jian's heart calmed down. There was even a trace of a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

The back of the embroidered building was also brightly lit. However, there weren't any of the Hao Family's housewives. Instead, there was a lonely offering table. There were also a few maids gathered around it. Everyone's face was filled with panic. They were originally whispering, but when they saw Hao Yulong coming over, they hurriedly shut up.

On the offering table, there were a pair of candles, several pieces of yellow paper, and some miscellaneous things. It seemed that the Hao Family had already prepared everything.

"Daoist Xiao …" Hao Yulong pointed at the things on the offering table and said in a low voice, "These were all prepared by this old man. What else do you need?"

"No need!" Xiao Jian answered very satisfactorily, "These things are enough!

However, Housekeeper Hao still needs to clearly explain to me what happened here. Otherwise, I won't be able to subdue the demon! "

"Ai, it's hard to explain in a few words!" Hao Yulong sighed and explained the matter in a low voice.

Although Hao Yulong's voice was soft, Xiao Hua, who was at the side, heard it clearly.

It turned out that this embroidered building was where the Hao Family's young miss lived. This Hao Family's young miss was usually kind. When she encountered injured or homeless small animals that no one wanted to adopt, she would bring them back home. The empty space near the embroidered building was usually occupied by those small animals. Moreover, after these small animals recovered, the Hao Family's young miss was reluctant to give them away. Thus, the entire courtyard was in a bit of a mess.

If the Hao Family was poor, the Hao Family's young miss naturally wouldn't be so kind. The family also wouldn't allow this kind of indulgence. However, the Hao Family didn't care about money. They only wanted the Hao Family's young miss to be happy. Not only did the Hao Family's young miss's maids take care of these small animals, even the other family servants often came to help.

After a long time, there would naturally be mistakes. Once, after the young miss of the Hao Family saved an unknown little beast, the first thing that the little beast did after waking up was to bite off the arm of a housekeeper. Then, it swallowed most of the animals in the small courtyard. Only then did it calmly escape under the vigilance of the Hao Family's guards, who were on guard against a great enemy.

Fortunately, the Hao Family's young miss wasn't in the embroidered building at this time and thus escaped disaster!

Ever since that danger, Squire Hao no longer allowed the Hao Family's young miss to take in small animals.

However, the Hao Family's young miss was after all kind-hearted. When she saw unattended kittens and puppies, she couldn't help but take care of them behind Squire Hao's back. Squire Hao couldn't do anything about it. He could only tell the Hao Family's young miss's maids that they were only allowed to take care of and take in common animals. Moreover, once these animals recovered, they had to be released or given away. They absolutely weren't allowed to appear near the embroidered building!
