Lou Xiaoyi thought for a while and decided to take a look. He didn't care about anything else. He was worried about the safety of Lou Mansion and his mother, Aunt Cai, and he didn't want to bring any extra burden to them because of himself.
...A fortune teller and a horse were sitting on the street diagonally across from the Lou Mansion. He said nothing and did not pay attention to or greet the passers-by.
Lou Xiaoyi recognized him just by looking at him. He was the only one among the three Taoist monks who survived in the mountains behind the Jokhang Temple and ran away very fast! He could probably guess his purpose.
In fact, Lou Xiaoyi himself felt that it was impossible to completely hide his identity as a cultivator in Pucheng. Whether it was practicing Tianding in the morning at Mao in Lou Mansion or going to the Gobi at night, he could not hide it from those who were interested. .
Unless he stayed deep into the Gobi for a long time, he would not worry about his family, so it was only a matter of time before he came into contact with the small spiritual practice circle in Pucheng. He was mentally prepared for this.
In the human world, he is far from reaching the state of complete natural relaxation and complete integration into nature.
So he went straight to the point and walked up to the fortune teller. The two looked at each other and asked, "Master, can you tell me a fortune?"
The fortune teller laughed and said, "I'm just pretending to be a ghost. If I dare not call myself a master, I can't be considered an expert. The young master is coming, why don't I treat him to a drink?"
Lou Xiaoyi happily agreed. What this man said behind the Jokhang Temple was somewhat insightful. He was not an ordinary person and could get acquainted with him. As for his final escape, Lou Xiaoyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. If your companions run away during a deadly battle, but if you leave when all your companions are dead, you may at most lose your courage and blood, which has nothing to do with your character. For casual cultivators, this is the principle of their survival and cannot be forced!
Being a hero is not that easy.
Have a drink, it's tea, not alcohol.
After Dr. Tea left, the fortune teller very solemnly took out a few things, including three Nai rings and other cultivation items, and placed them on the table.
"Hu Yong, a poor Taoist, lives here as a respected guest of the government. After practicing, he also does some things for the official family, but he is limited to practicing.
In the battle outside the Jokhang Temple, the poor Taoist was incompetent and lost his friends. Fortunately, the young master took action. Otherwise, once Qingmu left the state, it would be extremely difficult to find his traces. Although it involves the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, we and others In fact, casual cultivators have a low status and are not included in the Taoist family. It is unlikely that they can get widespread support from the Taoist community.
Therefore, the young master takes action to promote my name as a loose cultivator in Pucheng. It is a great kindness.
The young master left in a hurry, and the poor Taoist was inspired to go back and check, and he went over and disposed of the body on the young master's behalf. It is just a relic of this vicious monk, and it should still belong to the young master. The poor Taoist is not good at it!"
After careful consideration, Hu Yong decided to meet with this master of the Lou family to break the window between the two parties, which would be more conducive to the positioning of the two parties in the future.
After all, we can't keep pretending to be ignorant and embarrass each other. We have to rely on other means to communicate when something happens, such as the chicken-haired letter from the master. This is a matter of cultivation, but in fact it is best to solve it within the scope of cultivation. It is not appropriate to involve the government too much.
Especially with the death of Aoki in Jokhang Temple, it is difficult to say whether there will be subsequent troubles in the future. If someone really comes to the door, who will deal with it? Hu Yong is definitely not willing to face it alone. After all, he is not the murderer, and he is not strong in terms of strength. They can't cope with it; it's not the way to live to let the masters of the Lou family cope with it. After all, they helped them.
Therefore, the best way is for both parties to communicate. At least if a united force can be formed in Pucheng, everything will be easy to discuss.
Taking out Aoki's family fortune was just a test to show his sincerity; why didn't he know that if the young master in front of him really wanted the monk's belongings, where would it be his turn to pick up the body? Therefore, he probably wouldn't accept it.
of.
It shows one's goodwill without really losing anything. As a casual cultivator, the balance involved is also painstaking.
He had long guessed that there were cultivators in the Lou family, but he did not go out of his way to identify them. He thought that the most likely ones were the legacy of Lou Sima, or the experts sent by Mrs. Lou's family to protect her safety, but he did not expect that
The person who walked out turned out to be Mr. Lou, who had a reputation as a libertine in Pucheng?
He was sure that Mr. Lou was a cultivator, but he was not sure that there was really only one cultivator in the Lou family. Considering how young Mr. Lou was, he was trapped in a cliff cave carving a year ago, how many could he have in just one year?
Entering the country? Therefore, there should be someone behind the scenes, but since it was Mr. Lou who came forward today, it meant that the other one did not want to show up, so he could only pretend not to know.
Fortunately, Mr. Lou should be able to make the decision, so it doesn't matter. In the world of spiritual practice, everyone has his own uniqueness, so it's not easy to force it.
As he expected, the young master of the Lou family did not even look at the few things on the table and said quietly:
"In the world of spiritual practice, whoever gets it belongs to the same person. Turning a blind eye means giving up. Why should Brother Hu be so polite?
After this incident, I wonder how the Jokhang Temple and Mr. Qin reacted? I am lazy and meddlesome by nature, and I don’t want to reach out if I don’t get into trouble, so I’m a little vague about these follow-ups.”
Hu Yong chuckled and took back a few Na Rings without leaving any trace. This was what he expected!
"Jokhang Temple, we have checked! We have also been in contact with the abbot of the temple. We can confirm that this matter was committed by a foreign monk named Qingmu, but it was not an act of the Jokhang Temple as a whole.
But it was not clear whether there was someone standing behind Aoki. Such an unexpected person was so out of the blue. The senior officials of Dazhao were all mortals, and they could not tell his origins.
But at least in the short term, there won’t be any trouble.”
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and said, "I'm not worried about the Jokhang Temple. What I'm worried about is Brother Hu's noble master, Mr. Qin!"
You also know that this is not the first time that our Lou family and Mr. Qin have had an opportunity. Since Brother Hu is a respected guest in the family, I wonder how much he can do for your lord?
We are all trying to make a living in Pucheng, so it is important to be tolerant of each other. You also know that monks have a more direct way of solving problems. I hope everyone will not go to that point!"
This is the threat of Chi Guoguo! Your Lord Qin has already provoked the Lou Mansion once without success. If you still think about the next time, then don't blame the Lou Mansion for using a cultivator's method to solve the problem.
There is also a layer of meaning in this, which is how Hu Yong chooses among them? Should he side with the practitioners or the employers?
The words were very rude, but Hu Yong didn't think there was anything wrong. This was originally the way practitioners communicated. Lou's fists were big, so of course he was qualified to threaten!
If you act arrogantly, it is not impossible to attack Master Qin directly! Even including him, the so-called guest of Qin Mansion!
He must be cautious, because from his standpoint, what he hopes to maintain is the relationship with the spiritual circle rather than with ordinary officials. Lord Qin has helped him, but he has repaid him for more than ten years. No kindness can last a lifetime.
