Chapter 284: Ten Steps and One Bow
When she heard that she was going to go to Ganxiao Temple, Aunt He'an's expression was very complicated. When I sent www.biquge.info peace charm yesterday, Master Mingyuan once looked for her alone, saying that if someone asked her to lead her to the Ganxiao Temple today, she must promise the other party.
Master Mingyuan once hinted that this was what Master Mingli meant, but Master Mingli also said that he would "punish" Xue Ying, and her intuition told her that the so-called "punishment" was not just as simple as letting Xue Ying go to Ganxiao Temple to practice in advance. Now that Liao Yunxi is going to Ganxiao Temple to find Xue Ying, the uneasiness in her heart is becoming more and more obvious.
It's just that Master Mingyuan's words have already been said in front, and she had no choice but to agree: "Okay, but Ganxiao Temple is always a place of pure cultivation, I can only take you alone, and the others will be exempted." ”
"Ma'am?" Aunt Qing was a little worried.
"Absolutely." Liao Yunxi agreed without hesitation.
"Since you didn't go up the mountain to ask for a peace charm, you don't have to walk, and get into the carriage." Aunt He'an got into the carriage and said to Aunt Qing, who was reluctant to let go of Liao Yunxi, "Don't worry, we will rush back tonight, instead of continuing to persuade your wife here in vain, it is better to hurry up and report to your master." ”
Only then did Aunt Qing let go, and watched Liao Yunxi get into the carriage and leave all the way.
The mountain road was bumpy, and Aunt He'an was not slow to walk, and Liao Yunxi, who was sitting in the carriage, was very uncomfortable, but because he was too eager to see Xue Ying, he didn't say anything, and he tried his best to hold on all the way.
I don't know how long it took in the torment, she finally couldn't help but lift the curtain and lean out of the window, and spit out the boredom blocked in her chest with a "wow".
"Huh-" Aunt He'an hurriedly stopped the carriage and asked, "Are you alright, ma'am?" ”
Liao Yunxi shook his head slightly, but spit out several times in succession. Ever since she knew that Xue Ying liked to eat peaches, her chest had been entangled with depression, coupled with the high level of mental tension, her body couldn't bear it and vomited, but now half of the chest tightness has dissipated, and she feels much more comfortable.
Aunt He'an waited for her to breathe and handed her the water to rinse her mouth: "Anyway, it's almost here, let's rest for a while before leaving." ”
Liao Yunxi wanted to refuse, but the resulting dizziness made her have to give in. At the suggestion of Aunt He'an, she got out of the carriage and stood on the ground to rest for a while.
The cool mountain breeze blew away the chaos in her mind, and she found that the carriage had stopped at a fork, one of which went straight ahead, with wheel prints left by the carriage on both sides, and the other was a winding path next to the cliff, which was inexplicably frightening to look at.
"It's time to get to the road of filial piety." Aunt He'an couldn't help but sigh.
"Thanksgiving road? Why is it called Ganxiao Temple, do you think it leads to Ganxiao Temple? Liao Yunxi asked.
"There are rules for going up the mountain to ask for peace, in addition to having enough sincerity, there are also those who must walk up the mountain alone, bow at ten steps on the Ganxiao Road, etc., like Miss Xue Er with a large number of slaves and driving a mighty convoy, it will never work."
"Walking up the hill alone? Are you saying that the roads we just passed had to be walked on our legs? Liao Yunxi was shocked. She sat in the carriage and felt that it was too bumpy, and she felt that it was extremely hard, and how tiring would it be if she had to walk?
"Of course, I remember the first time the young lady went up the mountain, she started walking before dawn and didn't arrive until the sun went down. Especially in the section of the road of filial piety, it almost cost her half her life. ”
"Thanksgiving Road?" Liao Yunxi looked blankly at the dangerous road that opened up halfway from the cliff, "You just said that when you cross this road, you must bow down in ten steps?" ”
"Yes."
Liao Yunxi's palms and knees were shocked, and there was a hot pain, and he murmured: "In that case, it will hurt, right?" ”
"Of course there will be injuries, the head will be broken and bleeding, the flesh will be blurred, and the bones can almost be seen in the deep part of the wound. But if you can get a peace charm, it can save your life, so it's worth it to be hurt like this. Madame, it's getting late, let's move on. After finishing speaking, he found that Liao Yunxi was still looking at Ganxiao Road in a daze, and Aunt He'an said, "Don't worry, we didn't go to ask for peace charms, so we don't have to take this road." ”
"I want to go." Liao Yunxi said softly.
Aunt He'an saw that her face was pale, and she softened her voice: "This road is very dangerous, and if you accidentally fall down, there will be no bones, so forget it." ”
Liao Yunxi turned her head to look at her, and the firmness in her eyes made Aunt He'an stunned. "I'll go this way, and you can continue on the road in the carriage." Saying that, Liao Yunxi has already stepped onto the road of filial piety.
After a long time, Aunt He'an muttered: "It's strange, it's obviously not the biological mother and daughter, but the eyes are exactly the same." ”
There are a lot of broken stones on the road of filial piety, one side is a cliff, the other side is an abyss, if one accidentally falls half of his body and falls out. Liao Yunxi's soft-soled shoes stabbed on the sharp stones, and every step seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife.
The more it hurt under her feet, the more her heart hurt, but she kept counting her steps. She wanted to figure out how many times she had to kneel and kowtow to find out how many times she had to kneel and kowtow, but the more she calculated, the more sad and sad she became.
In her impression, the so-called peace charm is just to take the maid and the woman out of the door, go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, donate some silver to do things, and then eat vegetarian meals, saying that it is Qing Xiu, but it is better to go out to relax.
She also thought that it might be more difficult to get a peace charm from the Ganxiao Temple, but the hardship she envisioned was only to live a hard life in the temple for six months, and she could only eat and recite Buddha every day, and could not relax and play.
She never imagined that there would be so many twists and turns and sufferings just on the way up the mountain. How much loneliness and how much panic do you have to endure when you walk through the long and bumpy mountain road alone? And how many of these knife-like stones under your feet have been soaked in Ying'er's blood?
It's so hard and so difficult, why doesn't Ying'er say it?
In a trance, a figure appeared on the road ahead, staggering because of knee injuries, but still insisting on walking forward, sometimes kneeling on sharp stones and bowing to the ground.
Liao Yunxi was shocked, and took two steps forward: "Ying ......" However, before the voice could be made, the foot stepped on the air, and his body suddenly fell and fell towards the cliff.
At the last moment, she clinged to the protruding stone on the side of the road, stopped the fall and looked up, and found that Xue Ying had just passed a turn, and she couldn't see this side anymore, and she was about to shout, but suddenly remembered.
The rules for asking for peace charms include going up the mountain alone, if you call Xue Ying at this time, you will be accompanied by someone, so that Xue Ying's suffering today will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Liao Yunxi gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, his hands and feet were desperately trying to climb up, hoping to climb up again by his own efforts.
