Chapter 3 Marrying a Monk

When Xiao Lingxiao opened his eyes again, he found that his clothes had been changed. She was shocked. She turned over and sat up. She happened to see the little girl who pushed the door in with the basin.

The little girl has a good face. A pair of apricot cores and big eyes are clever. She has two small buns on her head. Her long black hair hangs straight down her waist. Her upper body is covered with apricot red half arms and a floral skirt underneath.

She stepped into the room and saw Xiao Lingxiao sitting on the bed. She hurriedly put down the basin and quickly walked over and said, "sister-in-law, wake up!"

Xiao Lingxiao was stunned when he heard the words and looked around at the room. Although it was not shabby, it was far worse than the furnishings in the fourth prince's mansion.

"Little girl, who are you?"

"My name is Ruixi." Ruixi reported her name and sat beside Xiao Lingxiao at all. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too weak and tired, so you fainted. Don't worry, when you marry my brother, you won't have to suffer anymore!"

Xiao Lingxiao was confused by the little girl. After questioning, he knew that the brother in Ruixi's mouth was the abbot of the Fali Temple not far away. The name was Xuan, and the place where they are now is a house behind the Fali Temple.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is handsome and unparalleled. You will look at it and you will look down on other men! Sister-in-law, you are also beautiful enough. In the future, when you give birth to children, you must be handsome men and beautiful women! Don't think that my brother is a monk now. In fact, he has no Buddha's heart at all and can be vulgar at any time!"

Ruixi sat in front of Xiao Lingxiao and praised her brother endlessly. After talking for a long time, she remembered that Xiao Lingxiao had not eaten anything, so she jumped out.

Xiao Lingxiao listened to her footsteps and went away. He hurriedly closed his eyes and looked inside. He found that in the darkness, there was only a faint light flashing. The light wrapped around the body of the wolf. It curled up into a ball, closed its eyes tightly, and breathed evenly, as if it were asleep.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the divine wolf like this, and it was inevitable that he was a little distressed. I didn't expect that I would die resolutely, but let the wolf bear so much. Thinking of fainting twice, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help sighing. When she first came back to life, she didn't realize the weakness of herself and the wolf. She thought that they were as strong as before, and the hatred in her heart could be eliminated soon, but now that she thinks about it, it's not so easy to come back to life. It seems that I can't be overwhelmed by hatred. To survive in this world, everything has to be discussed from the beginning.

After about a sip of incense, Ruixi not only brought the food, but also her abbot brother.

The Xuan abbot is only in his early twenties. He has nine ring marks on his bare head, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a straight nose and thin lips. Although he only wears a plain gray monk's robe, it is difficult to hide his extraordinary temperament. Previously, Xiao Lingxiao felt that Rui Xi's praise for her brother was exaggerated, but now at first sight, what Rui Xi said was not true.

Xuan was polite to Xiao Lingxiao. Hearing Ruixi's sister-in-law call Xiao Lingxiao, Xuan's handsome face was full of embarrassment. He found an opportunity to send out Ruixi.

After Ruixi left, when Xuan looked at Xiao Lingxiao again, his expression became very solemn.

"Where does the donor come from? Where are you going?" Xuan Ruo asked in a mysterious way.

I came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to get the scriptures from the Western Heaven...

Xiao Lingxiao subconsciously answered in his heart, but on the surface, he just frowned and said nothing.

Looking at each other for a moment, Xuan didn't get a response. Finally, he sighed, "The poor monk should persuade the benefactor that the world is dangerous and must not violate humanity."

When Xiao Lingxiao heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Can the monk see something different about her?

"I don't know why the abbot said this?" Xiao Lingxiao asked quietly.

Xuan looked at Xiao Lingxiao again, as if he still had some doubts. Finally, he shook his head and said, "If the donor has nowhere to go, he can stay here to recover for the time being. Ruixi is stubborn. Please don't mind what she said. After saying that, Xuan got up and took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his arms and put it on the table. "This is a healing medicine. Take care of yourself."

When Xuan left, Xiao Lingxiao picked up the small porcelain bottle and poured out a few pills from it. He didn't know whether to eat it or not. At this time, Ruixi jumped in again. As soon as she saw the small bottle, she suddenly looked extremely surprised, "Ouch! This is the snow ginseng Shenzhi pill that only the emperor can use in the palace! It's a magic medicine for healing! Sister-in-law, look how good my brother is to you!"

Snow ginseng Shenzhi pills? Xiao Lingxiao was even more puzzled when she heard Rui Xi's words. How could an ordinary monk take out such a valuable thing?

After Ruixi explained, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly realized.

It turned out that although this Fali Temple was built in the deep mountains, it was the most famous temple in Wuqi Kingdom. Although the monk Xuan was young, he was known as a divine monk. The emperor valued him very much and often sent people to invite Xuan to the palace to study Buddhism. In this way, the incense of Fali Temple is even more prosperous, and the relatives of the officials and nobles are constantly coming and going. The tributes in the palace are rare and precious to others, but for Xuan, they are readily available.

"There are as many good things as you want to nourish your body. Sister-in-law, let go and eat!" Rui Xi smiled heartlessly and pinched a few pills in Xiao Lingxiao's palm and stuffed them directly into her mouth.

Xiao Lingxiao hesitated for a moment and swallowed the pill. Unexpectedly, this thing really had an immediate effect. As soon as he ate it, he felt the warmth in his body. All the pores seemed to open, and the breath gradually smoothed. Xiao Lingxiao's clothes were quickly soaked with sweat. When she changed her clothes, she only felt refreshed and recovered a lot.

In the next few days, Ruixi kept sending things to nourish Xiao Lingxiao's body, and Xiao Lingxiao did not refuse. Now for her, taking good health is the most important thing.

In the blink of an eye, seven days later, Xiao Lingxiao felt that her body not only had fully recovered, but also seemed to have begun to gather the strength of the past. She closed her eyes and looked inside. She saw that the brilliance of the wolf had expanded a little, but she still did not wake up. She could only sigh and retreat. She stepped into the courtyard and saw Xuan enter the courtyard.

When Xuan came to Xiao Lingxiao, he saw that her face was ruddy and much more energetic than before. He smiled and said, "It seems that those things are still useful to Miss Xiao."

Xiao Lingxiao was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled at Xuan, "The abbot is really well-informed." Hearing that Xuan did not call himself the benefactor but changed his name to Miss Xiao, Xiao Lingxiao remembered Ruixi's words. With his appearance, he must have fascinated countless ladies and said that he had no Buddha's heart, which may not be true.

"The emperor has issued an imperial edict, saying that although Miss Xiao has come back to life, you have bad luck on your body, so you can no longer marry the royal family. The marriage between you and the fourth prince will be cancelled. It's just that the fourth prince seems to be very infatuated with Miss Xiao. He has entered the palace several times and asked the emperor to take back his life.

Hearing Xuan's words, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help sneering. Infatuated? The fourth prince? She doesn't believe it.

"The fourth prince just doesn't want the duck with his mouth to fly away. In the eyes of the royals, there is only the high position. There is no affection." Xiao Lingxiao said indifferently and looked at Xuan and asked, "Does the abbot know the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xuan frowned and replied, "The Prime Minister's mansion is probably afraid of the infatuation of the fourth prince, for fear that Miss Xiao's reputation will be damaged, so he declared that Miss Xiao has returned to the house. The Prime Minister and the fourth prince have sent a lot of secret agents to find the whereabouts of Miss Xiao.

Xiao Lingxiao bowed her head and said no words when she heard the words. In the past few days here, she had figured it out. She must survive in this world as Xiao Lingxiao in the future, so she can't directly kill those enemies as she thought before. What's more, it's simply cheap for those guys to do that. Shouldn't they pay a worse price than that when they bullied Xiao Lingxiao before?

To do this, she must go back to them.

"Miss Xiao." Xuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked Xiao Lingxiao in a solemn voice, "Do you want to escape to this deep mountain forest to avoid disaster or for another purpose?"

When Xiao Lingxiao saw Xuan, he seemed to be a little suspicious of her. He remembered the title of his monk and thought that he was guessing something or had already known something?

Slightly pondering, Xiao Lingxiao felt that she still could not trust anyone easily. She didn't know why Xuan helped her like this, but she can be said to be in danger now. She may die again if she takes a wrong step. Now that the wolf is so weak, Xiao Lingxiao will never let it have unnecessary losses for herself again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingxiao smiled apologetically, "If the abbot is not at ease, Lingxiao will leave here immediately and will never cause you trouble." With that, she turned around and was about to go out.

Xuan was shocked when he heard the words and stepped forward to pull Xiao Lingxiao, "Miss Xiao misunderstood..."

Xiao Lingxiao was held by him. He stopped, frowned and looked back at him, and asked softly, "Does the abbot still want to keep me?"

Only then did Xuan find that he was rude in a hurry. He hurriedly withdrew his hand, shook his head vigorously, opened his mouth, and still said nothing. Finally, he bowed his head and walked out of the yard quickly. Xiao Lingxiao just felt strange when he saw this. He thought that he should not stay here for a long time and walked out.

Before Xiao Lingxiao walked out of the yard, Ruixi suddenly broke in with a panic look. When she saw Xiao Lingxiao opening her mouth, she asked, "Sister-in-law, are you from the fourth prince?"

Xiao Lingxiao was shocked when he heard the words, "Is there something wrong?"

Ruixi nodded vigorously, "I don't know which bastard spread the story of saving you. They said that you were the bride who ran out of the imperial city and the concubine of the fourth prince! The fourth prince and the people of the Xiao family are now surrounded by the whole Fali Temple and this yard. They must be forcing their brother to hand you over!"

Xiao Lingxiao gritted his teeth angrily. If it hadn't been for the wolf who was still sleeping, he would have let these guys come back! The situation is really a little tricky now!

"My sister-in-law, I have a way to get you out of here, but..." Ruixi stopped talking.

Xiao Lingxiao took Ruixi's hand and whispered, "Ruixi, the fourth prince and the Xiao family are all bad people. They come to arrest me now. If I am caught by them, I will definitely die. Don't you want me to die here?"

Ruixi looked at Xiao Lingxiao, thought for a moment, and finally nodded vigorously, "I'll let you out, but you have to promise me that you can't marry that fourth prince in the future. You must marry my brother!" Never go back on it!"

Xiao Lingxiao was speechy for a moment, and he didn't expect that he would be threatened by a little girl one day!

"I will never marry the fourth prince!"

"You are going to marry my brother!" I didn't expect Ruixi to be extremely persistent in this matter.

"Good!" Xiao Lingxiao gritted his teeth and said, "If your brother and I fall in love with each other in the future, I will definitely marry him!"

When Rui Xi heard the words, he blinked his eyes and thought about it. He nodded reluctantly, which was a concession.
