The young monk waited until all the monks had left, then he slipped back into the disciple's room and took out a roast chicken from under the bed.
He hugged the chicken and took a bite, saying it satisfied his craving, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that the girl I met last night is so beautiful, but she can't be my wife, Wei Xiaobao."
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and sighed. Recalling A'ke's charming appearance, a thought came to his mind.
"That girl is really beautiful. If she goes to my mother's Lichun Courtyard to do business, I'm afraid all the patrons from Yangzhou will come to patronize her. I'm afraid even the men from Gusu, Zhenjiang and Lingnan will have to come.
Come. There are so many people, I'm afraid the gate of Lichun Court will be burst open. Unfortunately, she has a master watching over her, and I can't talk to her."
He grew up in Lichun Village, and his mother, Wei Chunhua, was the elder sister.
He is open to things that are kept secret between men and women.
While talking to himself, he couldn't help but look around again.
"I came to Wutai Mountain in a daze. I don't know how long it will take to find the old emperor. I don't know how my mother is doing now."
Wei Xiaobao was retreating in his mind and didn't notice a figure flashing outside the window.
Although what he said were all funny jokes, the old monk heard that there was no lack of sadness and pain, especially when he heard that Wei Xiaobao was beaten and scolded by thugs from Lichun Yuan when he was a child.
The old monk said in surprise.
"Actually, I didn't want to enter the palace at first. I entered the palace by chance. Unknowingly, I have been wandering outside for many days. I came here in a daze. I don't know how long I will stay on this mountain. I really want to go back.
Look at my mother."
"Abbott, Xiaobao is planning to go down the mountain."
"You kid, this is a pure place of Buddhism!"
While talking, the old monk led Wei Xiaobao to the side hall in the corner of the courtyard.
"There is a way that wine and meat pass through the intestines. It is left in the heart of the Buddha. If people in the world follow me, it will be like entering the devil's path. Since I know that Buddha and devil are inseparable, I still fall into this path. Many things are not as open-minded as you, a boy."
"Li Chun Yuan?! Is it the Li Chun Yuan I thought?"
"Master, you also know that I come from the palace."
Then his assassination of Emperor Shunzhi in Mount Wutai is very likely to be exposed.
In the backyard.
He raised his head and looked at Wei Xiaobao. He thought that this boy would play tricks on him, but Wei Xiaobao changed his usual slick look and his expression became slightly serious.
"I have already intercepted six of Wei Xiaobao's wives. Presumably the whole world is also aware of my existence as a villain, which will inevitably accelerate the growth of the protagonist Wei Xiaobao. But why is there still no movement now?"
When he thought of this, Chen Xuan felt a little unsure.
Wei Xiaobao handed over the chicken very thiefly, and said with a smile on his face, "This is to honor you."
He walked out of the wing carrying a roast chicken and walked towards the backyard of Qingliang Temple.
Wei Xiaobao's face darkened and he sighed.
Because it was the time for morning classes at the temple, there were not many monks along the way.
Wei Xiaobao and the old monk seemed to have known each other for a long time. He walked over with the chicken and said hello.
"The person I'm looking for? You mean the Emperor Shunzhi is inside?!"
"The person you are looking for is inside."
There was no one around except an old monk with a gray beard lying on a deck chair and basking in the sun.
Chen Xuan looked at Wei Xiaobao in the disciple's wing indifferently and thought to himself.
"Abbott, I've said what I need to say. Now I'm going back down the mountain. I also ask you, if you encounter someone from the court, to help cover you. Just say that I fell to death on the road and fell into the well and drowned.
No matter what, just pretend that I am no longer a person."
"Master Abbot."
"She works as a kiln sister in Li Chun Courtyard."
"Xiaobao, since you have decided to go down the mountain, I naturally can't stop you. But since you came to my Qingliang Temple, I can't let you return without success."
Wei Xiaobao didn't know what his emotion meant, so he just stood up, made a salute, and said.
The old monk hesitated for a long time, then stood up and said.
As Aobai, he is no better than a cat or a dog, and he has many followers under his command.
Mother and son usually lacked food and clothing, so they could only rely on Wei Chunhua to steal some leftovers from the wine table to raise Wei Xiaobao.
Now that he has disappeared inexplicably from the court for less than half a month, it will inevitably attract the attention of all parties. Once it is found out that he is not in the capital.
When he talked about his childhood, he obviously didn't describe it in detail, but when others heard it, it was interesting and contagious.
On top of the temple wall, a young man stood indifferently. It was said that the high wall was dangerous, but he stood like a green pine. It was obvious that he had high martial arts skills.
The longer Wei Xiaobao spends in Mount Wutai, the more dangerous his situation becomes.
Wei Xiaobao was born with a glib tongue, and he developed a thick skin and good eloquence in Lichun Court since he was a child.
"What's wrong with this?"
"Going down the mountain? Why are you going down the mountain? Don't you still want to find someone?"
The old monk took a bite of the chicken leg and casually touched his mouth with his monk's robe. Looking at this skillful action, it was probably not the first time that Wei Xiaobao had shown filial piety to him.
Wei Xiaobao rarely smiled playfully, but patted his butt and sat on the ground to talk about Wei Chunhua.
The old monk listened and ate the chicken legs, but as he ate, he felt a little off, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The old monk picked up the wine gourd hidden under the chair, took a sip, and then spat it out with a "pop" sound.
Normally, the old monk would have ignored him, but Wei Xiaobao uncharacteristically talked about Wei Chunhua and Li Chun Yuan today, which made him fall into memories.
Although Wei Xiaobao said it in an understatement, a kiln sister in a smoky place like Li Chun Yuan, always faced with the oppression of the madam and thugs, still insisted on raising Wei Xiaobao, and the bitterness and suffering involved in it cannot be explained to outsiders.
.
"Still no movement?"
"Your mother? What does your mother do?"
Before Wei Xiaobao could ask any more questions, the old monk said calmly.
Just as Chen Xuan was standing on the wall and secretly worried, Wei Xiaobao in the room seemed unable to sit still.
After all, he had cooperated with Princess Jianning and sneaked out of the capital under the pretext of a marriage.
"Then what happened?" The old monk glanced sideways and said that Wei Xiaobao would use the title of emperor to suppress him.
But Wei Xiaobao sighed again and said.
"That's pretty much it." The old monk took the chicken and took a look at it, "Why is the chicken's butt gone?"
Wei Xiaobao carried the chicken to the backyard in a swaggering manner.
Wei Xiaobao was so excited that his voice became louder.
As soon as he said this, Chen Xuan, who had been following him all the way, also heard the noise and hurriedly wanted to take a look into the yard.
Unexpectedly, before anyone saw it, the old monk in the courtyard suddenly shouted.
