Chapter 660: A big fat tiger, a stingy phoenix

In front of Baoguo Temple, there is a small and exquisite square pond close to the root of the mountain. There are green trees beside the spring, and there is an ancient pine with a strange twist. There are stone-carved dragon heads on each side of the pond. The spring water is flowing drop by drop from the dragon's mouth. The water is actually clear. The pond The scattered copper coins left by the pilgrims at the bottom are clearly visible. This is the prayer pool of Baoguo Temple. Many believers pray here, hoping that their wishes will be granted.

Xu Zhihu picked up a dead branch, squatted down and stirred the spring water. When it stopped, a water line as thin as silver appeared on the water. He raised his head and smiled: "Did you see it? It is said that this water has two qualities: mountain water and spring water." Isn’t it interesting what happens when different weights and weights are mixed together?”

Xu Fengnian was not interested in the natural wonders in front of him at all. Instead, he squatted down, put his hand into the water, and picked up a few copper coins. Xu Zhihu knocked the back of Xu Fengnian's hand with the dead branch in his hand, and laughed and cursed. .

"You are so poor that you dare to take this as an offering to the Buddha?"

Xu Fengnian chuckled and dropped the copper coin in his hand, but he still picked up a copper coin again, held it with two fingers, raised his hand and looked at it for a few times, and said, "If you can save it, save it. How can the Buddha mind this?" Little things!"

Xu Zhihu also had great respect for Buddhism because of Wu Su. He patted Xu Fengnian's chest angrily, breathing heavily.

"Buddha is also someone you can use to make jokes. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Xu Fengnian was noncommittal. He didn't know whether the Buddha existed, but there was one person in his group who had achieved enlightenment. It would be better to ask for his miraculous effect than to pray for the Buddha. After all, he had never heard of the Buddha appearing in front of others, but Xu Zongjia had appeared in front of others many times. It was only because of his favor that I achieved what I have achieved today.

The air outside Baoguo Temple was fresh and the birds were chirping. Xu Zongjia looked up and saw that the temple was filled with greenery. Looking back, I saw that the ancient pine tree next to me was really not vulgar. Its thick trunk twisted left and right, twisted into several folds, and twisted like a crouching dragon. I really don't know whether it was God's will or man-made.

Xu Zongjia stood under the tree, stretched out his hand to caress the trunk of the grass, and sighed.

"The creation of heaven and earth is indeed miraculous!"

Xu Zhihu saw that Xu Zongjia was extremely interested in Gusong and stepped forward to explain.

"The locals call this tree the Wolong Pine. It is said that if you break a branch, it will bleed, but I have never seen anyone actually do this?"

When Xu Fengnian heard this, she was interested and said with a smile, "Shall I break a branch and try it?"

Xu Zhihu raised his beautiful eyebrows, stared at the stars, and shouted: "You dare?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and immediately gave up this extremely tempting thought.

Xu Zongjia looked at Xu Fengnian as if he had seen a natural enemy and couldn't help but smile.

"This is nothing but nonsense, just the good expectations of the local people!"

After all, the world in the snow is just a world of high martial arts. Although there are spiritual beasts like Hu Kui, there is no room for grass and trees to become spirits, so it is impossible for this Crouching Dragon Pine to bleed.

Xu Zhihu looked gloomy and agreed: "Sir, you are wise, but as you said, but if people don't have this hope, what's the point of living?"

Xu Zongjia looked deeply at the lonely Xu Zhihu, raised his head and looked at the north, all he was thinking was not words.

Seeing that her sister was in a bad mood, Xu Fengnian quickly made a joke and entertained her with colorful clothes, which made Xu Zhihu smile again. He buried his previous worries deep in his heart, but the seeds had been planted, and they would one day take root. I wonder what will happen then?

After the temple door opened, the two novice monks joined together and bowed ten times, and then all the pilgrims and believers stepped into the temple. Xu Zongjia and his party came to the Zen room where fasting meals were provided and sat down. Originally, this room was very spacious and could accommodate many people, but everyone saw Xu Zhihu sat down and stopped entering, which was exactly what Xu Zongjia wanted.

As his cultivation level deepened, although he did not say he was detached from the world, his temperament became much more deserted after all. He did not like the presence of many outsiders when eating. Now everyone is afraid of Xu Fengnian and Xu Zhihu, but he has become much quieter, so Xu Zongjia Feel more at ease and comfortable.

There were only Xu Fengnian, Xu Zhihu, Li Chungang and Jiang Ni at Xu Zongjia's table. The others were very discerning and did not dare to sit at this table. Princess Jing'an Pei Nanwei was qualified, but after all, she had an embarrassing status and was afraid of being betrayed by Xu Zhi. The tiger was being bullied, so he also hid and refused to sit down.

Xu Zhihu hugged Jiang Ni next to him and asked with concern: "Jiang Ni, I heard that you read to Fengnian after you left Beiliang? This is a good thing. Tonight, come and read Wang Dong to your sister. The price of "The First Snow" in the carriage was doubled, and it was all taken out of the guy's pocket, and he didn't dare not give it."

Xu Zhihu was a rare person in the Northern Liang Palace who Jiang Ni liked to get close to. When Jiang Ni was bullied by other maids, only the kind-hearted Xu Zhihu comforted her with gentle words and stood up for her. This was also Lu Dongyang's initial love for her. The reason why Jiang Ni was angry when Xu Zhihu made rude remarks.

Jiang Ni raised his head and hummed heavily, smiling for the first time since leaving Qingzhou.

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Dimples, you actually have two small dimples, haha, my prince saw it! Yes, double the price is double, it's worth it."

Jiang Ni immediately straightened his face, and there was still a smile in his eyes. This smile seemed to be because Xu Zhihu had nothing to do with Xu Fengnian. But what the truth is, only the little maid knows. Of course, Xu Zongjia, who has cultivated his mind telepathy, can also know, but he is not that boring yet and does not bother to use this magical power to pry into a little girl's mind to satisfy his desire for gossip. curiosity.

Xu Zhihu said with a smile: "Our little Jiang Ni has the most beautiful smile. No woman in the world can compare with her. So smile more."

The old man in sheepskin fur with his legs crossed said with a smile: "Boss Xu, your beauty is not in vain. She has a beautiful person and a beautiful heart, and her heart is much better than yours."

Xu Zhihu hugged the little clay figurine, smiled charmingly, and said grandly: "As for Senior Li, I have also hidden a lot of good wine, and I will give you ten jars tonight."

Li Chungang gave a thumbs up and praised with joy: "How heroic! I'm sure I'll drink this wine. If anyone dares to quarrel with you on Jiangnan Road these days, I'll be the first to fight against him."

Xu Fengnian said distressedly: "Why do you think I am nothing?"

Jiang Ni smiled sarcastically, "You just know, you miser!"

Xu Fengnian looked at Jiang Ni and said in surprise, "Look, there are dimples again!"

After saying that, Xu Fengnian stretched out his hand and slapped Jiang Ni's desk. After taking his hand away, a copper coin appeared in front of everyone. It was the copper coin that had just been fished out of the pool. Xu Fengnian shamelessly said road.

"I gave it to you, how about it, am I proud or not?"

Xu Zongjia glanced at the proud Xu Fengnian with contempt, and Li Chungang also rolled his eyes speechlessly.

The little clay figurine hesitated for a moment. Under Li Chungang's hateful eyes, he picked up the copper plate and held it in his hand.

Xu Zhihu looked at this scene with a smile. He fell in love with Jiang Ni even more and his smile became bright.
