Chapter 246 The two masters left them behind again
On a busy street, people were coming and going. A little beggar fell to the ground and was helped up by an old monk in a cassock. The old monk gave the little beggar a steamed bun and touched the little beggar's head lovingly: "I see from your face that you have a predestined relationship with Buddhism. Do you want to join my Buddhist sect? I promise that you will never go hungry again."
The little beggar tilted his head and looked at him confusedly: "Don't monks also have to beg?"
The old monk corrected him: "It's not begging, it's begging for alms."
"What's the difference."
"There is no difference." Before the old monk could speak, a voice behind him answered for him.
The moment he heard the voice, the old monk stiffened slightly, and when he turned around, he saw Master Qingshuang.
Master Qingshuang said to the little beggar, "This old bald donkey is a liar. He specializes in tricking children into becoming Buddhist monks. There is no future for bell-ringing monks. It is better for you to be a beggar."
"Besides, you are right. Begging is also begging. It's just that you change from a stinky beggar to a stinky monk. There is not much difference. So, kid, don't listen to this old bald donkey and go beg!"
Upon hearing this, the little beggar looked at the old monk with contempt, thanked him, and left without looking back.
He doesn't want to be a monk!
He will beg hard to save money to marry a wife.
Abbot Xuchen watched helplessly as the promising young talent slipped away from him, his outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.
He gave Master Qingshuang a scoundrel look and said, "You scared away the new disciple I had my eyes on again."
"You tricked a child into becoming a monk. Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Nun Qingshuang glared at the old monk and said, "Aren't you a very good runner? Run now!"
The old monk smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't run away. I just happened to be out for something."
Master Qingshuang snorted coldly.
Abbot Xuchen didn't dare to look at her again. He raised his eyes to look at Ye Tang, Xiao Jingxuan and Guo Jiaojiao behind her.
"Donor Ye, Donor Xiao, we meet again. Who is this female donor? "
Master Qingshuang said coldly: "My disciple."
"I came to you for no other reason than to ask you to help my disciple see if she wants to enter Buddhism or continue to wander in the secular world."
The old monk couldn't believe it: "You are so attentive to your apprentice."
Master Qingshuang narrowed her eyes: "What do you mean?"
Abbot Xuchen looked at her seriously: "It's nothing, I just think you have changed, Qingshuang, are you......"
Master Qingshuang sighed softly, "I have indeed changed. I have no choice but to change! Old bald donkey Xuchen, come with me to the inn. I have a lot to tell you. Don't be nervous, and don't always think about running away. This time I won't ask you for anything, nor will I beat you. I'm just simply telling you something."
Seeing that Master Qingshuang's expression was unusually serious and the sincerity in her words did not sound fake, Abbot Xuchen instantly relaxed a lot and the smile on his face became brighter.
"it is good."
Several people came to the inn and found a private room. Abbot Xuchen, Master Qingshuang and Guo Jiaojiao had a detailed discussion in the private room. Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan continued to sit in the lobby, leaning against the window, eating and enjoying the scenery.
"Husband, could it be that Master Qingshuang wants to entrust Guo Jiaojiao to Abbot Xuchen?" Ye Tang guessed.
Jamel Xiao yawned: “It should be, she really cares about her apprentice Guo Jiaojiao.”
"Although she calls him her apprentice, she actually treats Jiaojiao as her own daughter. After all, she is the one she raised."
"Since the nun has already found Abbot Xuchen, there is no need for us to follow them." Xiao Jingxuan said, his face becoming more tired: "Let's go back to sleep. We still have to continue interrogating Shao Huan tonight. It's tiring."
Ye Tang glanced towards the private room, nodded, and stood up.
The two paid the silver and left the inn.
When passing by a road that was the only way out of the city, the two saw the Qiao family's carriage.
"Is Mr. Qiao going to leave Xuzhou City?" Ye Tang's eyes moved slightly: "Is he going to the third vault?"
Jamel Xiao nodded: "It should be."
Ye Tang held him back: "Follow?"
"and."
"Don't you want to tell Uncle He and the others?"
"Just ask someone to let them know."
The interrogation of Shao Huan can be left to He Songlin, he is fully capable of doing it. The main task of the couple is the vault.
Xiao Jingxuan turned his eyes and saw a familiar little beggar, the little beggar that Abbot Xuchen had just taken a fancy to.
......
He Songlin and his group waited and waited, but Ye Tang and the other man did not come back. They became anxious and were about to go out to look for them when they heard a waiter come to report that a little beggar wanted to see He Songlin.
He Songlin immediately went to see the little beggar, and the little beggar handed a letter to him.
He Songlin opened it and took a look.
Oh my God!
The two masters actually abandoned them and left Xuzhou City without saying where they went.
He Songlin took several deep breaths, closed his eyes and thought carefully, then asked a guard beside him, "Is the Qiao family's other vault in Shuicheng?"
"It seems so. I'm not sure about this." The guard was also confused.
He Songlin rubbed his brows and said, "It's Water City."
......
Private room in the inn.
Master Qingshuang walked out of the private room with a tired look on her face, and Guo Jiaojiao supported her carefully.
Abbot Xuchen walked behind the two of them, looking at Master Qingshuang with some concern in his eyes.
Before he became a monk, he had a good neighbor who was Master Qingshuang's brother.
When he was fifteen years old, he went up the mountain with Master Qingshuang's brother to learn skills and became a monk. Two years before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, a group of evil bandits broke into the temple and killed everyone they saw. Master Qingshuang's brother died at that time. Before he died, he entrusted Master Qingshuang to him.
It happened that there was a natural disaster that year and people were living in misery. In order to save Master Qingshuang's life, he tricked her into entering a nunnery and converting to Buddhism.
That year, Master Qingshuang was only eight years old.
She actually didn't want to be a nun, and didn't know what a nun was. But by the time she understood what a nun was, it was already too late.
The love affairs in this world have nothing to do with her anymore.
She wanted to return to secular life, but was stopped by the nuns in the nunnery, who said that she had a connection with Buddha. In order to trick her into staying in the nunnery, they taught her various skills in various ways.
They used threats, inducements, and all sorts of means.
When she grew up and the old nuns who taught Master Qingshuang passed away, she wanted to leave the nunnery, but found that she still had two fellow sisters to support.
After raising his junior sister, he also picked up Guo Jiaojiao.
When Guo Jiaojiao grew up, she was old. She wanted to travel around the world, but she got dementia.
Abbot Xuchen sighed in his heart. He was the one who harmed Nun Qingshuang. Nun Qingshuang's dream since childhood was to marry a loving man, give birth to children for him, and be a good wife and mother. She never thought that she would be a nun for so many years.
"Where are Sister Tang and Brother Xiao?" Guo Jiaojiao looked around but did not see Ye Tang and the others.
The shopkeeper came over at this time.
"Dear guests, Madam Xiao and Young Master Xiao have already left. They paid the money before they left. They also paid your share. They told you not to look for them and to see them again in the capital in the future."
Hearing this, Abbot Xuchen said, "In that case, we'll see each other in the capital! You're going to the capital with me anyway."
Guo Jiaojiao has no affinity with Buddhism and cannot enter the Buddhist community. Her destiny lies in the capital.
Master Qingshuang glanced at Xuchen and said, "You won't run away again, will you?"
Xu Chen said seriously: "No, I didn't know your situation before, and I thought you... Never mind, I won't say it anymore. In short, it's my fault for not taking good care of you and failing to live up to your brother's trust before he died."
"When you arrive in the capital, I will arrange a quiet place for you. You will definitely like it."
