Xie Mingxu wore a navy blue robe, with a tall and tall figure, and a sword inlaid with agate hanging from his narrow waist.

"After only walking for a while, you can't do it anymore? It seems that you will become more and more lazy when you leave the border." His voice was beautiful, like a spring hitting a rock.

Xie Mingxu stretched out his hand: "Follow me, or you will be fined to wash your horse when you go back."

The man in purple put his head on his head and begged for mercy: "Little General Xie, just let me go, I'm just a dandy, useless! This time I followed you back to Beijing mainly to visit my grandmother. How about this, I'll go down the mountain first , hold a reception banquet for you in the city, and come to my house to find me directly after you go down the mountain."

After that, he turned around and ran, afraid that if he slowed down, he would be caught by Xie Mingxu.

Seeing his friend running away without a trace, Xie Mingxu pursed his thin lips tightly.

He didn't say anything nonsense, turned around and was about to continue up the mountain, but saw a small figure sitting on the big rock beside him.

Shen Ningning blinked her big round eyes and looked at them for a long time.

The little guy was wearing a pink thin skirt with flowing gauze on both sleeves. His skin was like snow, but there were two spots of hot red on his face.

Xie Mingxu was startled.

There is a lack of water outside, and even the daughter of a wealthy family has a hard time raising it.

He really hadn't seen such a juicy and beautiful little girl all the way back.

Moreover, the appearance of this little girl actually made him feel kind.

Shen Ningning's eyes kept following him, Xie Mingxu wanted to stop and exchange a few words, but he was afraid of scaring the little girl.

Therefore, he passed in front of her silently.

When his figure was gone, Shen Ningning blinked her big round eyes, thought about it and said, "The surname is Xie, could it be a relative of Uncle Prime Minister?"

After Shen Ningning had enough rest, she jumped off the rock and climbed the steps again.

"Hey, hey..." She gulped water as she crawled.

Tired is not very tired, but the little belly is round and full of sugar water.

Shen Ningning climbed halfway, and saw the big brother surnamed Xie standing in front of the steps in front of him, checking the soil of the forest on one side.

He frowned, and rubbed the rough soil with his slender fingers, as if he had discovered something unexpectedly.

Shen Ningning walked over: "Big brother~ what are you looking at!"

Xie Mingxu turned his head, looked at the little guy, and said in a cold tone, "It's nothing."

He clapped his hands and dusted the dust off.

It rained heavily in the capital last night, but the soil was wet, and the color was different from the surrounding soil.

Xie Mingxu suspected that there was something buried under the soil of a different color.

But there was a strange little girl beside him, and it was inconvenient for him to dig, not to mention that this time he went up the mountain to worship Buddha and offer lamps, so he put this matter aside for the time being.

However, Shen Ningning felt that the big brother surnamed Xie in front of him was so cold!

The other party was not enthusiastic, so she naturally stopped posting and chatting. She held up her little skirt and bounced up the steps.

After a while, Xie Mingxu followed her pace and asked, "Little friend, did you go up the mountain alone? Where is your family?"

Shen Ningning looked at him with black and lingling eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Big brother, you don't mean to kidnap me! Our Master Huang said that strangers who call you a child outside are probably not well-intentioned!"

"Next, are you going to give me candy and let me go with you?"

Xie Mingxu stumbled and almost fell down by her words.

On his calm and serious face, there was a little more embarrassment: "I'm not a human teeth trafficker, how could I tie you up."

However, he thought about it again, he didn't know this little girl before, so he rashly asked her where her family was, it would really make people doubt his purpose.

Xie Mingxu took the initiative to explain: "I want to remind you that you have already walked into the deep mountains. If you go further, you will get lost. If you came out to play secretly, go back as soon as possible. Don't worry your family."

Only then did Shen Ningning smile sweetly, and said strangely: "I didn't sneak out to play, I want to go to Fashan Temple, and ask the monks and grandpas to help me repair Buddhist beads. Look, look!"

She reached into her pocket with her little hand and took out a few round Buddha beads.

Xie Mingxu glanced down, then frowned slightly.

The prayer beads that the little girl took out were actually like the string of relics he had seen before, in the crown prince's hands.

According to legend, the prince was born with the legend of the evil god descending into the world, and he was doomed to have a bad life.

For the sake of the prince, the emperor made all the relics left by an eminent monk a hundred years ago after his death into bracelets. After the consecration, he ordered the prince to wear them on his body, praying for peace and eliminating evil spirits.

Xie Mingxu had seen a few of them before, the whole body was brown, and when exposed to the light, they seemed transparent.

He looked at Shen Ningning with unpredictable eyes.

If it really belonged to the prince, how could it be in the hands of this little girl?

Shen Ningning only gave him two glances before putting it away.

Xie Mingxu followed her, and said calmly: "In this case, let's go on the same road, I am also going to Fashan Temple."

Shen Ningning suddenly became enthusiastic: "Big brother, what are you doing in the temple?"

"Lamps for the family," he said.

Shen Ningning is an optimistic chatterbox. On the way up the mountain, when she saw strange flowers and grass growing, she would excitedly share them with Xie Mingxu.

As soon as he saw her, Xie Mingxu thought of his sister.

His eyes could not help but feel sad.

If his little sister is still there, she should be as old as this little girl.

Will follow him, chase after him, or pester him, calling his brother.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingxu couldn't help reminding Shen Ningning who was running fast in front: "Slow down, and be careful of falling."

The two came to Fashan Temple together.

Shen Ningning's small face was flushed with heat, and she wiped off the sweat on her fair forehead with her small hands.

Her big dark eyes looked into the temple: "Hey, there are so few people!"

Xie Mingxu also took a look.

Not only are there few people, but there are no one.

Except for the monk sweeping the floor, I didn't even see a single pilgrim.

He frowned sharply, and before he could speak, Shen Ningning walked in heartlessly.

"Uncle Monk~" The little guy went straight to the sweeping monk.

Helpless, Xie Mingxu could only keep up with her.

The sweeping monk was a man over forty years old, with a strong figure. Looking at Shen Ningning, surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Little benefactor, do you need help?"

"I want to string the broken Buddhist beads, can you help me?" Shen Ningning Nuo Nuo said, taking out her pocket.

Open it and show it to the monk, it is full of brown beads.

There has always been a tradition in Cangyun Kingdom that the common people would bring their belongings to the temple for incense, commonly known as consecration.

Therefore, the monk also thought that Shen Ningning had this idea, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "Okay."

He raised his head and glanced at Xie Mingxu behind the little guy, thinking that the two of them were brother and sister, he took the beads from his pocket and sent them into the hall.

"Prayer beads should be placed in front of the Buddha for half an hour to offer incense, and then the poor monk will find a thread to help the little benefactor string them on."

Shen Ningning clasped his hands together, and said obediently: "Okay, thank you Uncle Monk."

The monk smiled: "You're welcome, Amitabha."

He turns away.

Shen Ningning turned his head and saw Xie Mingxu looking at the altar table in front of the Buddha, his brows were deeply frowned.

"Big brother, you've been looking at the food on the table. Are you hungry? I have delicious food here!" She hooked her little hand, and directly took out the red fruit in her backpack to share.
