Chapter 1923 Difficulty

"Hao Yuanwai!" Xiao Jian seemed to have seen this old man before. Before the old man could speak, he took a few steps and said loudly.

Hao Yuanwai's expression was a little depressed. Although there was a kind of hope in his eyes, this hope also seemed to be extinguished in the night. However, after hearing Xiao Jian's shout, Hao Yuanwai raised his brows, and his face was instantly stained. A layer of smile appeared at any time, moved out of the moon gate, cupped his hands and said: "Taoist Xiao! I have long heard of the reputation of Taoist Xiao and Jiang Chaoguan, but I have never had the chance to see them. It is indeed the same when I see you today. What I think is that he is truly an immortal and has the style of everyone!”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xiao Jian bowed his hands and saluted, "Xiao Dao is just one of the thousands of monks in our Taoist school! It is because of the gift of Lord Poseidon that Jiang Chaoguan can bring Master Xiao's wisdom to the people of Changsheng Town. Enze, the trail is just standing..."

Xiao Jian's routine humility! However, before he could finish his words, "Dang, dang, dang..." From inside the Moon Gate, the sound of wooden fish actually came out, which made Xiao Jian frown extremely.

Xiao Jian's words were immediately interrupted. He looked at the shadow inside the Moon Gate behind Hao Yuanwai with some confusion.

"Haha, Taoist Master Xiao~" Mr. Hao said in a low voice with a slight embarrassment on his face, "I sent the goose-feather letter to Jiangchao Temple, but it has been a long time since I saw Taoist Priest coming. I know that Jiangchao Temple is now very popular, Xiao The Taoist priest probably didn't have much time, so he thought of the monks from Xiaojin Temple! Of course, Xiaojin Temple can't be compared with Jiang Chao Temple, but it's better than nothing, right? I'm good at... inviting the monks from Xiaojin Temple. Come here! Of course, the Taoist priest is here now. I will drive these monks away!"

With that said, Mr. Hao pretended to turn around.

Xiao Jian now feels as clear as a mirror! Hao Yulong (name changed) must have sent himself a goose-feather letter. Without waiting for his reply, he immediately went to Xiaojin Temple again. Since Hao Yuanwai invited both Xiaojin Temple and Jiangchao Temple at once, how could he possibly drive away the monks from Xiaojin Temple? What I just said were just kind words! If I follow what others say, I am afraid that I will be the one who is driven away!

So Xiao Jian hurriedly grabbed Hao Yuanwai's sleeve and said, "Hao Yuanwai is so wrong!"

"Oh? What does Master Xiao mean?" Hao Yuanwai was not surprised at all that Xiao Jian stopped him, but he still asked.

"Xiaojin Temple belongs to the Buddhist sect, so it naturally has its own unique side!" Xiao Jian said with a smile, "Since they are here, let them take action first! When they are helpless, it is not too late for Xiaodao to take action again! Otherwise, wouldn’t the member’s face be lost?”

"Haha. That's right, that's right!" Hao Yuanwai slapped his forehead and said with a bitter smile, "I made the decision to invite them here. If we drive them away now, wouldn't it seem that I disrespect Buddha? It's better that the Taoist priest reminded me. ! Even if they can’t do it, we can’t give them a chance!”

"exactly,

exactly! "Xiao Jian smiled and nodded.

"This Taoist priest is..." He finished all his polite words. Officer Hao looked at Xiao Hua behind Xiao Jian and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, this is also a Taoist friend of mine who is passing by Changsheng Town!" Xiao Jian said hurriedly, "Because I heard that there will be a ceremony for immortals and Buddhas tomorrow, and I, Jiang Chaoguan, want to accept the challenge of Xiaojin Temple, so I also I just stayed to help Xiaodao! But he is not good at words. I hope you can forgive me!"

"That's it!" Hao Yuanwai nodded, as if he didn't care much about the challenge, and just said, "Then please invite the two Taoist priests!"

"Excuse me, please!" Xiao Jian raised his hand in a dignified manner.

Officer Hao stopped being polite and turned around and entered the Moon Gate. Wherever he turned his head, an unspeakable gloom still emerged from his eyes. It's more obvious than the shadows between light and dark.

Xiao Jian glanced at Xiao Hua, who was silent behind him, and the butler Hao Yulong, who was also frowning next to Xiao Hua, and felt a little heavy in his heart. Generally speaking, when arriving here, Hao Yuanwai should briefly tell himself what happened to the Hao family and what happened to him, so that he can think about how to deal with the Moon Gate. But now Hao Yuanwai's abnormality made Xiao Jian's heart skip a beat. Hao Yuanwai must have encountered something very difficult, or even something particularly embarrassing, so he couldn't speak. He was afraid that he could only look at the situation and adapt accordingly.

After passing the Moon Gate, what comes into view is a very tall and lush laurel tree. Under the laurel tree, there is another two-story embroidery building with bright lights. Around the embroidery building, there are several bare The monks sitting there cross-legged, with a wooden fish in each hand, were beating happily, and the sound of "murmuring" chanting flowed from their mouths. In front of several monks, there is another three-foot-high Zen platform, and there is another monk wearing a yellow cassock sitting cross-legged on it, holding a Zen staff in his hand, wearing a monk's crown on his head, also closing his eyes and reciting something. Although this monk had his back to Xiao Jian and it was at night, Xiao Jian could recognize it at a glance. This monk was the Mingfa of Xiaojin Temple!

"Weird~" Xiao Jian was stunned, "What happened to the Little Golden Temple today? Why didn't the old monk Mingyue come? Send a Mingfa to come here alone? Damn it, I've lost my status now!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian looked around again. Behind these monks were some vulgar and strong women, standing scattered with their sleeves rolled up. His eyes fell past the monks' bald heads and fell into the lights of the embroidery building. Looking around tens of feet away from the embroidered building, at the edges of the flowers, plants and trees, burly men each held swords and other weapons in their hands, and they were very guarded there.

"What a pain!" Xiao Jian felt regretful when he saw the Hao family in such a situation, "Grandma, you opened the goose-feathered letter for no reason! You threw it there... Even if Hao Yuanwai would blame someone, he would only explain it. Just don’t see it! It’s okay now. I received a hot taro. The last time Yuan Lu invited me over, it was not like this... I just don’t know if Senior Xiao can..."

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian couldn't help but turn his head slightly again and glanced at Xiao Hua from the corner of his eyes.

Xiao Hua still looked like that, squinting his eyes slightly, with no discernible expression. On the contrary, when Hao Yulong saw Xiao Jian turning his head, he hurried over and said in a low voice: "Taoist Xiao, the place in front of the embroidery building was originally reserved for the Taoist priest. But the Taoist priest has not come yet. Master Mingfa came and gave it to them as a last resort."

"It doesn't matter!" Xiao Jian looked at Mr. Hao who was sitting on a brocade chair not far away, and looked at the embroidered building again. He didn't care about this, and asked again, "Now that the matter has come to an end, can the housekeeper take care of it?" Have you told Pindao what happened?"

"Yes, Daoist Master Xiao, please come this way!" Hao Yulong nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand and led Xiao Jian to walk under the osmanthus tree. Just as the three of them were walking past the osmanthus tree, there was a loud "crash" sound, and the osmanthus tree shook violently for no reason. Pieces of leaves fell from the osmanthus tree, and scattered all over Xiao Jian and the others! Not only was Xiao Jian startled, but he also attracted the attention of the monk from Xiaojin Temple. His eyes, which were sharper than swords, instantly fought with Xiao Jian's eyes for several times.

Hao Yulong, on the other hand, had nothing unusual, as if he had already experienced it.

Seeing that Hao Yulong was not panicked, but Xiao Hua still had such a dead face, Xiao Jian felt his heart drop, and even had a smile on his lips.

The back of the embroidery building is also brightly lit, but there are no more able-bodied women from the Hao family. However, there are also several maids gathered around a lonely confession. Everyone has panic on their faces. They are stealing. They were whispering, but when they saw Hao Yulong coming, they hurriedly shut up.

On the altar table, there were a pair of lamps and candles, a few knives of yellow paper, and some miscellaneous things. It seemed that the Hao family had already prepared them.

"Taoist Master..." Hao Yulong pointed to the things on the altar table and whispered, "These are all prepared by me. Do you think I need anything else?"

"No need!" Xiao Jian replied with satisfaction, "These things are enough! However, Butler Hao still needs to tell Pindao clearly what happened here, otherwise Pindao will not be able to subdue the demon!"

"Oh, it's hard to explain in one sentence!" Hao Yulong sighed and explained the reason clearly in a low voice.

Although Hao Yulong's voice was low, Xiao Hua could hear it clearly from the side. It turns out that this embroidery building is where Miss Hao family lives. Miss Hao family is usually kind-hearted. When she encounters injured or stray animals that are not adopted, she brings them home. The open space near the embroidery building is usually filled with people. They were all occupied by those little animals, and after the little animals recovered, Ms. Hao was reluctant to give them away, so the whole yard was honestly a bit chaotic. If the Hao family was poor, Miss Hao's family would naturally not be able to do such good deeds, and the family would not allow such indulgence. However, the Hao family did not care about the money, they only wanted to make Miss Hao's happy, and not only the maids who served Miss Hao's served these little ones. Animals and other domestic servants often come to help.

Over time, mistakes will naturally occur. Once, after Miss Hao saved an inexplicable little beast, the first thing the little beast did after waking up was to bite off the arm of a strong woman, and then the little beast. Most of the animals in the courtyard were devoured, and then they calmly escaped under the alert of a group of Hao family generals who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. Fortunately, Miss Hao's family was not in the embroidery building at this time, so she escaped! After that danger, Mr. Hao no longer allowed Ms. Hao to keep small animals. However, Miss Hao is kind-hearted after all. When she sees unattended kittens and puppies, she can't help but take care of them without telling Mr. Hao. Mr. Hao has no choice but to tell the Hao family to take care of them. The lady's maid is only allowed to take care of and take in animals that are commonly seen, and these animals will be released or given away once they get better. They are absolutely not allowed to appear near the embroidery building!
