Chapter 40: Empty Mountain Zen Language

The prison of the Criminal Department was robbed by fire, Emperor Zhou was furious in the Taiji Palace, the wind inside and outside the capital became tighter, and everyone in the civil and military departments was in danger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But for Cheng Jinzhi, these are all things in the court and above the temple, anyway, Gao Heng is safe now, she just has to live her little life in a leisurely manner.

Moreover, the turmoil of "chickens flying and dogs jumping" in Chengfu has not yet passed, and a new wave of gossip has followed, and it has even been spread to the gods, and various different versions have been derived.

What is "King Yan and Princess Yan reunited at the door of the prison", "Princess Yan was injured and searched for her husband for thousands of miles", "King Yan hugged his beloved wife on the ten-mile long street".....

was originally just an ordinary thing between husband and wife who cared about each other, but it was adapted into a poignant and bitter and slightly pretentious love story by the vast number of talented people, and Cheng Jinzhi himself stood on end.

After a few days of recuperating at home, most of my legs and feet have healed, and although I can no longer jump on the tree, I have no problem walking normally.

Recalling the words Gao Heng said to himself in front of the prison that day, and the scene of holding her and walking most of the street in full view of everyone, Cheng Jinzhi still thinks of it, and his heart is slightly rippling, and his face is pink.

She is sure that this is what her heart wants, and she knows that her feelings have already changed subtly. But she can still clearly feel that although a wall has been broken between her and Gao Heng, there is still a veil between her and Gao Heng.

And both of them know what this veil means.

Because of the case of the Criminal Department, Gao Heng has been running around these days and rarely comes back. Cheng Jinzhi saw that his legs and feet were fine, and he was bored in the house, and he heard that there was a Qingyun Temple on Yuqiong Mountain in the north of the city, which was well-known far and near, and it was very effective, and she was worried about the fire in the prison, so she was ready to go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and ask for peace.

Yuqiong Mountain is ten miles away in the northern suburbs of the capital, although the place is not remote, but in addition to the pilgrims who come to Qinghyun Temple, it is also a quiet and uninhabited place.

It took less than an hour to drive from the palace. The temple is surrounded by bamboo trees, the winding path is secluded, the green smoke in the temple is swirling, the incense is prosperous, there are occasionally monks in and out of the meditation room, each kind eyebrow and good eyes, fairy wind bone.

In Cheng Jinzhi's view, although such a life of twilight drums and morning bells is monotonous, it can cut off the fetters of the world and surpass the red dust, which is also a kind of cultivation that is beyond people's reach.

In the main hall in the middle of the temple is enshrined a lifelike statue of Guanyin, the Buddha statue holds a pure bottle, and looks at all beings with kindness, so that people just look at it, and feel that the inner complexity is gone, and return to tranquility.

Cheng Jinzhi crossed the threshold and entered the hall accompanied by Treading Xue, where a middle-aged woman was entering at the same time as her, followed by two dignified-looking maidservants.

The temple pilgrims came and went frequently, and Cheng Jinzhi didn't care about it originally, but when he saw that although the woman was dressed elegantly, she had a remarkable temperament between her gestures, which was different from ordinary people, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that the woman was already kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin with her hands folded, her demeanor was pious, and Cheng Jinzhi was also busy kneeling down beside her.

From childhood to adulthood, although Cheng Jinzhi is not without desires, because he was born humble, he never dared to have too many extravagant hopes. In life, she only wants to be fed and clothed, the present world is stable, and she only wants to be able to get a white horse and a good man to stay for life in marriage.

And for the current Cheng Jinzhi, she can escape death, and it is God's mercy to have the current wealth and glory, and she dare not ask for too much luxury. In addition to praying for peace and happiness, she also had some wishes, and after thinking about it, she finally put it in her heart.

After bowing his head and worshipping three times, and reciting silently in his heart again, Cheng Jinzhi opened his eyes, and caught a glimpse of the middle-aged woman who was about to get up, and she also stood up.

Probably because he knelt for a long time, the injured foot was compressed and blood circulation was blocked, Cheng Jinzhi just stood up, and suddenly felt a numbness in his left foot, and saw that he was about to kneel down heavily, and a slender jade hand suddenly reached over to support her.

"Girl, are you alright?"

As soon as Cheng Jinzhi looked up, it was the middle-aged woman beside him.

Before, the field of vision was limited and I couldn't see it really, but now when I look face to face, I see this woman with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a good face, dignified and dignified, and her serene gaze falls on herself, and she smiles.

Cheng Jinzhi hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you for this lady for helping in time, otherwise I would have to be embarrassed in front of Guanyin Niangniang." ”

"Guanyin Niangniang is compassionate, purifying all sentient beings, this world, all things in the world are in her eyes, and the girl doesn't need to mind. ”

Cheng Jinzhi only felt that it was quite meaningful when he heard these words, but he was difficult to find a clue, and wanted to say something more, but saw the woman bow slightly, step out of the hall, and slowly left accompanied by the two maidservants.

"Treading the snow, what kind of person do you say that lady is, she doesn't look like an ordinary ordinary person. ”

The slave thought so, too. Treading Xue looked at the woman's distant back and thought: "It's probably the master of the Houmen embroidery family or the rich family." ”

………..

The sound of the bell chime in his ears swayed past his ears for a long time, and seeing the sun gradually turning west, Cheng Jinzhi and Taxue set off to return home. Since it was late, the carriage had not seen any signs along the way, only the empty mountains of birds, but when it passed a mountain stream, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Jinzhi was nibbling on an apple while poking his head out to look.

"Princess, there is a carriage parked there in front of you, as if someone has stopped it. ”

"What? Someone stopped the carriage, could it be a bandit?"

Cheng Jinzhi secretly said something bad in his heart, and looked at the coachman's gaze, only to see three middle-aged men in ragged clothes holding big knives in their hands surrounding the dark carriage in front of them, with fierce faces and bad visitors.

"Big... Big... Big brother, another horse... Horse... Car, do we want to withdraw... Withdraw?"

"Remove your head! If you don't do the business sent to the door, you are stupid!"

"That's right, the family is still waiting to open the pot and start the meal, what are we going to eat! Brother, people are so hungry. ”

“……”

The three of them quarreled with each other a few times, and one of the short and fat men was kicked in the bitter face, so he could only pretend to be fierce **, and swaggered to Cheng Jinzhi's carriage.

"Hit, hit, hit... Robbery!"

"Ahh

Looking at the cold knife in the man's hand, before Cheng Jinzhi could react, the snow on the side was the first to shout, and the coachman was also frightened enough, and hurriedly hugged the horse's back with his hand.

After all, it is on horses to eat, and it is natural to protect the most important thing in times of crisis.

"It's useless, a short stutter can scare you like this. ”

Cheng Jinzhi looked at the "seeming" fierce thief in front of him with disdain, and when he got closer, he found that what he was holding was a kitchen knife for cutting vegetables, which was not only stained with vegetable leaves, but also rusty.

"Oops, this bandit isn't too cold, and it's a bit two. ”

Cheng Jinzhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought.
