"May I know which temple's master little master is from?”
The beautiful woman gathered her thoughts and asked softly.
"I am Miao Kong, the disciple of Fahai Zen Master, the head of the Golden Mountain Monastery.”
Miao Kong put his palms together and said softly,""Since benefactor is fine, I will take my leave.”
After saying that, Miao Kong turned around and walked towards the main road.
"Little Master, please wait!"
The beautiful woman subconsciously called out to Miao Kong, and met his puzzled gaze, asking,""Little Master, are you going to Wu Continent City?”
Miao Kong nodded without saying anything.
"I'm also going to Wu Prefecture City," said the beautiful woman Nie Zhang-shi with a smile."Little master, why don't you come with us?"”
Seeing that Miao Kong didn't say anything, Nie Zhangshi continued,"This place is still dozens of miles away from Wu Prefecture City. I don't know if these strong people have accomplices. I hope that Little Master can work a little harder.”
Miao Xiang thought about it and nodded.
"In that case, I'll be troubling you."
"I should thank Little Master.”
Nie Zhangshi nodded with a smile.
The remaining three guards had been knocked out by the ghostly Qi. They slowly woke up and respectfully thanked Miao Kong for saving their lives.
Although the horses pulling the carriage had been slaughtered, the bandits did not come empty-handed. There were a few horses tied in the forest not far away.
The guards brought the horses over. After a while, the carriage resumed its journey.
Miao Kong wanted to stay outside the carriage, but she couldn't resist Nie Zhang-shi's invitation and got on the carriage with her.
In the carriage, other than the maidservant he had seen earlier, there was also a young girl.
The young girl was about 28 years old and was born with delicate and beautiful features. However, she had a hint of charm when she looked around. She had not yet grown up, but she already had the intention of toppling a country.
They looked like Nie Zhangshi, mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter sat together. The plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums each had their own advantages. It was a feast for the eyes.
Miao Kong didn't avoid it and admired it openly.
The girl's cheeks turned red as she looked at him. Why was this little monk so rude?
As he thought about this, he couldn't help but secretly look at the white-robed young master.
Nie Zhang-shi had seen the world, so she wasn't as shy as her daughter. She teased,"Little Master Miao Kong, why are you staring at us?”
"Because the two female benefactors are good-looking.”
Miao Kong blinked and said matter-of-factly.
Because it looked good, she looked at it without hiding it and was straightforward.
Even though Nie Zhang-shi had eaten and seen it before, her face still turned red from Miao Kong's undisguised praise. She knew that Miao Kong was telling the truth.
Because in Miao Kong's eyes, there was no other disgust, only pure appreciation for beautiful things.
However, even a noble lady like Nie Zhangshi couldn't stand such innocence.
After all, who would resist sincere praise?
At this moment, the young girl opened her mouth and said in a voice like an oriole,""Buddhism says that all four things are empty. Why is Master like this?”
"Don't be rude."
Nie Zhangshi glared at her daughter and said softly.
"How can there be such a thing as the Four Great Emptiness in the mortal world?" Miao Kong shook his head and asked.”
"If I become a Buddha one day, I will naturally be void of the four elements and regard the red powder as a skeleton. However, I am now in the mortal world and naturally cannot avoid the seven emotions and six desires.”
"Buddha is also human."
[Distorting the Dharma, breaking the precepts of nonsense]
Reward: 1 Innate Ability
The young girl was stunned by his words. She had read a lot of books since she was young, and she had also dabbled in Taoist and Buddhist scriptures. However, she had never heard of such a saying. She only felt that what Little Master Miao Kong said made sense, but she also felt that it was a little wrong.
For a moment, he was stunned.
The carriage fell into a temporary silence.
"Little Master, you still don't know the identity of my mother and daughter, right? It was also Qie's negligence."
Nie Zhangshi broke the silence and smiled,""My husband's name is Nie Yuanli, the magistrate of Hangzhou. This time, we came to Wuzhou to visit our relatives.”
"This is my only daughter, Nie Xiaoqian.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Miao Kong's eyes narrowed and a trace of shock flashed across his eyes.
He subconsciously looked at the girl who had her head lowered and remained silent. He had never expected that she would still be related to Lanruo Temple.
How could he be unfamiliar with the name Nie Xiaoqian?
However, Nie Xiaoqian was still a proper person and not the female ghost in Lanruo Temple.
The only daughter of the Hangzhou Prefecture Magistrate was also considered a noble daughter. There must be some hidden secrets in the future.
However, these things were obviously not things that Miao Kong could know about now.
As her thoughts raced, Miao Xiang thought of many things, but she only nodded and did not say anything.
Nie Zhangshi didn't get angry and continued to talk,
It turned out that her maternal family was also a famous clan in Wuzhou. They had passed down generations of poetry and books. Her maternal brother was now the Tongzhi of Wuzhou and the second-in-command of Wuzhou's officialdom.
Nie Yuanli was originally an official in the capital. He had just been released to Hangzhou a while ago, and Nie Zhang-shi had the intention to go home to visit her relatives.
Who knew that they would be targeted by a group of bandits on the way. If it wasn't for Miao Kong, the mother and daughter would have had to die to preserve their chastity.
Time passed in the midst of chatting. Soon, the carriage entered Wu Zhou City.
"Little master, why don't you come with me to my house? I can serve you food and repay your kindness.”
Nie Zhangshi invited him sincerely.
Miao Kong shook his head." Master ordered me to go down the mountain. I was already disobeying Master's orders by riding on the fragrant carriage."”
"This little monk will take his leave now. We will meet again if fate allows it. Don't worry about me.”
Without waiting for Nie Zhang-shi to ask him to stay, Miao Kong turned around and left.
Nie Xiaoqian stared at Miao Kong's back until she could no longer see him. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Xiao Qian, after you pay your respects to your uncle, how about accompanying your mother to Jinshan Temple to offer incense tomorrow?”
Nie Zhangshi asked with a smile.
"If mother wants to go, daughter will naturally accompany her.”
Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and replied softly. Her earlobes were a little red.
…………
After parting ways with Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter, Miao Kong heaved a sigh of relief. If he were to visit the mother and daughter, although he would not have to worry about food and clothing for the time being, it was obvious that he would be eating vegetarian food.
Meanwhile, Miao Kong was craving for meat.
After eating green vegetables and tofu for fifteen years, she had almost forgotten what meat tasted like.
Miao Kong took out an alms bowl from his sleeve. Looking at the chaotic streets and people of all kinds, his eyes flashed with anticipation.
I wonder what the reward is for breaking the carnal abstinence?
