"Is this Yanwu Canhe Village?" asked Jiu Mozhi as he looked around.”
Abby shook her head. Gongzi Qi let me stay here. This small place really couldn't receive guests. However, this master said that he wanted to pay respects to Master Murong's tomb, and this young master said that he wanted to go to Canhe Village to get something. I, a little girl, can't make the decision. I can only ask the few of you to wait here. I'll go ask Sister A'Zhu.”
Hearing this, Jiu Mozhi was angry and his face darkened. He was the Guardian King of the Tibetan Empire and his status was extremely high. Not to mention being greatly respected by the ruler of Tubo, even the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had to treat him with the courtesy of a national guest. He did not expect that this little girl would not invite him to the main hall for a grand reception, but instead brought him to a little maid's courtyard. It was really too infuriating.
Dongfang Sheng, on the other hand, had long known this. Not only was he not angry, but he was also looking forward to seeing how A'Zhu and A'Bi would play with this fancy spear, and also to see A'Zhu's amazing disguising skills.
Abby led the three of them into the house. When they reached the hall, Abby invited everyone to take a seat, and a servant served tea and cakes. Dongfang Sheng lifted the lid of the bowl and saw dark green tea leaves floating in the light green tea, like small beads. Dongfang Sheng was a southerner, so he naturally recognized this tea. He felt a little homesick and could not help but mutter,""Lake Taihu Biluochun."
When Duan Yu heard this, he looked at the tea in his cup and couldn't help but sigh.""Young Master Dongfang, you have great literary talent. You can actually give this tea such an elegant and appropriate name.”
Dongfang Sheng was surprised. He was about to say that this tea had been famous in Jiangnan since ancient times when he heard Abby say,"Taihu Lake Biluochun is indeed a good name. I have to thank young master for bestowing this tea with a name.”He pondered for a moment and then understood. Presumably, during the Northern Song Dynasty, this tea had not yet been called Biluochun. Now that it was named after him, it was another historical mess.
Dongfang Sheng saw Jiu Mozhi holding up his teacup and suddenly remembered a story he had read about Buddhism's strategy. He pointed at the teacup and said to Jiu Mozhi with a solemn expression,"Everything is here."
Jiu Mozhi immediately understood that the other party was testing his Buddhism. He thought for a moment and suddenly threw the teacup out of the window. With a flip of his right hand, a flaming saber qi shot out and the teacup exploded into pieces above the pond outside the window. He turned around and asked,"Where is the Boundless Nature?"”
Dongfang Sheng was also excited just now. He didn't expect Gumo Zhiguo to have the same reaction as the eminent monk in the story. He laughed in his heart, shook his head, and sighed."It's just a pity that I lost a cup of good tea."
Jiu Mozhi paused for a moment and came to a realization. He secretly admired the other party's profound Buddhist studies. He lowered his head and pondered, not saying anything else.
In fact, how could Dongfang Sheng understand the meaning of the story? He was only using it to tease Jiu Mozhi. The other people present did not understand what these two people were talking about.
After Dongfang Sheng and Duan Yu had tasted all the tea and pastries, Jiu Mozhi said,""In that case, please inform your sister A'Zhu.”
Ah Bi said," Ah Zhu's residence is twenty to thirty miles away from here by water. It's already too late tonight. The three of you can stay here for the night. Tomorrow morning, I'll send the four of you to the Fragrance Listening Waterside Pavilion."”
"If I had known this would happen, wouldn't you have sent us directly to the Fragrance Listening Pavilion?" Jiu Mozhi said.”
Abby smiled." There are very few guests here. It's not easy to meet the three of you. Of course, I have to let the three of you stay for a day."”
" Master Murong was polite to me back then." Jiu Mozhi was furious." How dare a little girl like you tease me?"”
At this moment, an old man with white hair and a beard walked out from the back hall. He held a walking stick in his hand and said,"Abby, who is making a fuss here?”
"Who is this old man to the Murongs?" asked Jiu Mozhi.”
"This old man is Young Master's old servant," the old man said. I heard that the First Master was a good friend of our late master. What can I do for you?”
"This Penniless Monk will tell Young Master about this matter in person.”
"That's unfortunate. Young Master left the day before yesterday and might only return one day.”
"Where did your Young Master go?"
The old man turned his head and knocked on his forehead.""Well, I'm old and muddle-headed. It seems to be Xixia, but it's also said to be Liao, Tubo, or Dali.”
Jiu Mozhi snorted. He knew that the old man was pretending to be confused, so he said,""Since that's the case, I won't wait any longer. Please take me to Mr. Murong's grave to pay my respects to him.”
The old man shook his hands and said,""I can't make the decision." "Young Master, what brings you here?" he asked Dongfang Sheng.”
Dongfang Sheng knew that the old man was disguised as A'Zhu, and with a single glance, there was actually no flaw. He clicked his tongue in wonder. Seeing that she was asking him, he knew that she must be deliberately making things difficult for him, so he laughed and said,"Mister Mu Rong asked me to come and retrieve something. There is no need to trouble the old man to make the decision. I will naturally complete Mister Mu Rong's request.”A'Zhu didn't expect Dongfang Sheng to use Murong Bo to cover his mouth. He was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"Since you can't make the decision, then go and ask someone who can." Jiu Mozhi said angrily.”
The old man turned around and walked out of the door, muttering as he walked,""In this day and age, there are all kinds of bad people in the world. They pretend to be monks and Taoists to come and beg for alms to deceive people. This old man has seen everything. I won't fall for it.”
Duan Yu laughed out loud when he heard that. Jiu Mozhi was furious, but he couldn't flare up.
After a while, an old lady walked out of the inner hall. She was dressed in a bronze satin jacket and skirt, with jade bracelets on her wrist. Her head was full of pearls and jade, and she was dressed in a noble manner. His eyes were blurry and he seemed to be unable to see anything.
Abby said softly to the three of them,"This is Master Murong's aunt. When Master's friends come, they have to kowtow to Old Furen. When the Young Master was not around, he had to ask the Old Lady for instructions.”
The old lady walked shakily to the hall and said,""Ah Bi, who's here? Why didn't you greet me?"
Abby quickly gestured to the three of them and said in a low voice,"Hurry up and kowtow. Don't make the old lady angry.”
" Greetings, Old Madam," Jiu Mozhi said helplessly." I'm here to pay my respects to you."”As he spoke, he pressed his hands on the ground three times, making a thud sound as if he was kowtowing. When Abby saw this, she couldn't help but secretly stick out her tongue, thinking to herself, What a powerful monk.
Dongfang Sheng smiled, stood up, and said,""Greetings to Old Furen." He crossed his arms in front of his chest, his right hand hidden in his sleeve. He flicked three fingers and three sounds were heard. Although he exerted his strength through the air like Jiu Mozhi, his expression was natural and his hands were hidden in his sleeves, so no one could see his movements. Naturally, his realm was higher than Jiu Mozhi. "Could it be that this person also knows the Formless Finger of Calamity?" Ah, that's right, this person claimed to be familiar with Mister Murong, so he must have obtained the secret manual from Mister Murong.”
"Alright, alright," the old lady said. Nowadays, there were many treacherous people in the world, but few honest people. Even if you kowtow, you're a little bad, but you still have to pretend to be mysterious. You're bullying me that I can't see. You two little kids are very good. You kowtow very loudly.”
Duan Yu couldn't help but laugh, but he respectfully kowtowed.
Dongfang Sheng was already prepared when he heard A'Zhu's mockery of him."The old lady is right. There are many treacherous people these days, and they are even more skilled at deception. Even people are fake, so what can't be fake?”He looked at her with a faint smile.
A'Zhu was secretly shocked. His disguise technique was flawless, yet someone had seen through it today. He didn't dare to think of teasing Dongfang Sheng anymore. He only fought with Abby and pushed Jiu Mozhi away. Jiu Mozhi knew that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for them, so he didn't argue with them and said,""I've brought the Six Pulses Divine Sword Manual to pay my respects to Mister Murong. I'll be so bold as to follow the old covenant and go to your residence's 'Return Water Pavilion' to read the book.”
"What sword manual?" the old lady asked. Let us see if it's real or fake first.”
"This Young Master Duan has a complete set of sword manuals in his mind. It's a living sword manual." Jiu Mozhi pointed at Duan Yu.”
Abby said," Young Master Duan remembers. It's Young Master Duan's business. Even if it's to read books, it should be Young Master Duan. What does it have to do with Master?"”She saw that among the three of them, Duan Yu was the kindest and most polite, so she said this.
"I'll burn Young Master Duan in front of Mr. Murong's grave," said Jiu Mozhi.”
A'Zhu and A'Bi were shocked when they heard this. "If it's as Master said, Young Master Duan can use the Six Pulses Divine Sword, why would he be controlled by you?" A'Zhu said. I think 90% of them are lying. If you want me to believe you, you have to let Young Master Duan show me his swordsmanship.”
Jiu Mozhi undid a few of Duan Yu's acupoints and said,""Young Master Duan, please." After saying that, he used his left hand to send Duan Yu to the courtyard outside the hall with a gentle force. He gathered his power in his right hand and slashed out with the flame knife, aiming straight at Duan Yu. Duan Yu's heart was clear, and he didn't let the Six Pulses Divine Sword fight back. Jiu Mozhi didn't know Duan Yu was so stubborn. He was shocked and didn't want to kill him like this. He raised his hand and cut off a few strands of Duan Yu's hair.
"Humph! Since Young Master Duan was unwilling to make a move, I could only kill one person to establish my prestige.”As he spoke, Jiu Mozhi suddenly turned his hand and struck towards Abby, but he deliberately slowed down a little, wanting to lure Duan Yu to save him. Seeing that Jiu Mozhi was going to harm Abby, A'Zhu screamed and swung his staff at Jiu Mozhi's back. His movements were extremely agile. "I see. How long do you want to lie to me, little girl?" Jiu Mozhi laughed.”He clenched his palm into a fist and went straight for Azhu's face. Just as he was about to launch his attack, Jiu Mozhi suddenly felt a surge of pure Yang Qi hit his fist, and he couldn't help but take half a step back. Dongfang Sheng had used his folding fan to block his lightning strike. Seeing that his opponent's martial arts were not inferior to his, Jiu Mozhi didn't dare to act rashly.
