A few days later, Wang Zimu was still determined to become a monk, and almost ignored Wang Xiangniang, who came to persuade him to change his mind every day. Mr. Zhou, Du Chongfeng, Zhang Nian and even Yang Qian all came to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to persuade him, but he only thanked them for their kindness in teaching and taking care of him, and he was still unmoved.

Seeing that his mind was so firm, Venerable Xuan Hui asked him several questions and answers—whether it was asking Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, comprehension, spiritual wisdom, mundane, reincarnation, and cause and effect, he answered them all fluently. Therefore, Master Xuanhui thought that they were indeed destined for each other, so he planned to accept him as a disciple. The Temple of Mercy and Grace immediately set a date for him to hold an ordination ceremony, which was presided over by Venerable Xuan Hui himself.

Li Hui was actually not familiar with Wang Zimu, but he got news of him from Wang Zixian one after another. He clearly felt that the prince's affection had been low for a while, as if he was both helpless and disappointed. After all, Wang Zimu can be said to be his only trusted relative, but from now on, he will cut off Hongchen's kinship, and the two sides will break up. For him, family affection seems to have become an extremely luxurious thing, and he wants to get it in his heart, but he can't get it.

Li Hui did not say anything to persuade him, but just silently accompanied him. There are so many facts that have happened in this period of time, and they have no time to talk about their feelings for each other. But this kind of companionship alone is enough to calm and tranquil, and it is enough to temporarily rest the tired and restless mind.

On the day before the shaving ceremony, Li Hui went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace alone and met Wang Zimu. The young man who used to be beautiful is still so thin that it is pitiful. However, the thin and pale face was less of a trance and dazed, and more of a sense of calm and dust. It was as if he had forgotten all the ups and downs of his feelings, or deliberately detached himself from the world.

He wore a wide and simple monk's robe, and sat alone under a peach tree in the peach forest. Many days ago, there was also a young girl here who looked at the peach branch stupidly. At that time, it was still full of green leaves, but now there are some finger-sized green peach fruits. However, his gaze has become empty and quiet, as if he has forgotten the past of this first love. The significance of this peach tree to him may not be any different from that of other peach trees.

"The king of the county is also here to persuade me?" Seeing Li Hui suddenly appear in the field of vision, Wang Zimu was still very indifferent.

Li Hui looked at his expression, smiled slightly, and shook his head: "I just want to see how you are doing." At the moment, it looks at least better than it was some time ago. "If he hadn't chosen to become a monk in those days, he probably wouldn't have survived it now.

Because there is still no news of Wang Luoniang, and two days ago, the sage also issued a holy decree to order Princess Changning and Yan Zhan to marry. The pain that caused him has not changed in the slightest, but the person who has suffered it has been liberated, and perhaps it can be regarded as a rebirth. Since the world has brought him nothing more than the world upside down, only constant loss, it makes sense for him to make this choice.

Wang Zimu raised his eyes, stared at him deeply, and suddenly said, "That day, when I woke up in the quiet room in the temple, I suddenly felt like I had a big dream. At that moment, I couldn't even tell where was real and what was false. Whether you are in a dream or are you outside of a dream? ”

"In my dreams, I seemed to have a peaceful and peaceful home, but then the masks worn by my family members burst one after another, revealing the ugly and vicious faces underneath. In my dream, I bravely expressed my affection deep in my heart, and was echoed by the girl I loved, but soon after she left me in tears, and fell into a painful marriage. In the dream, my sister grew a lot overnight, but she was led into a fog by the sneering second brother and disappeared from sight. ”

Li Hui sat down beside him, and listened to him continue: "I think that perhaps I have never had a peaceful and peaceful home; Perhaps I have never met that girl, who is still graceful and noble, and who lives happily ever before; Maybe my sister is still at home in Shangzhou, thinking about what kind of husband she should marry...... If it weren't for the Buddha's name, I might never have come to my senses. ”

Li Hui thought of Master Xuanhui's appearance on weekdays, and seemed to be touched. Although he has always been full of compassion and makes people feel very close, there seems to be no sadness or joy in his eyes, and he is beyond the world. It seems that the mage has pity on the suffering sentient beings, full of compassion; In fact, he also walked out of the red dust, just watching all the joys and sorrows of life.

It is impossible for ordinary people to be as detached from the world as Master Xuanhui, let alone as he is like a torch and transparent in everything. After all, they were still struggling to survive, but the mage's vision had long gone beyond the eight hardships of life. In his view, birth, old age, sickness and death are all cause and effect, and they are all extremely natural things.

Looking at the mage's demeanor, I suddenly felt that all the surging emotions and concerns were no longer important. No, maybe it's because they're so important, so after losing them, I don't think the red dust in the world is any longer interesting. Wang Zimu continued, "I don't want to be an 'idiot' anymore. I've lost too much, and if I love Hongchen again, I can't say that even what is left will be lost. Therefore, I am willing to practice in Buddhism, forget these old things, seek good cause and effect for my relatives, and seek great freedom for myself. ”

"Do you feel comfortable now?" Li Hui asked lightly.

"I've never felt so comfortable." The prince clasped his hands together and gently recited the Buddha's name, "What about the king?" Do you feel at home? ”

"Uncomfortable." Li Hui sighed softly. He was thinking too much, and he had already made a choice, but he still hesitated. This made him suddenly feel that he had not been able to get out of the cage of his previous life - he still lacked the courage to break through the cauldron and was still unwilling to face his heart's desires.

"Then go and find yourself." The prince said in harmony, "Otherwise, you will not be at ease in your life." With that, he closed his eyes, recited the Buddhist scriptures softly, and no longer paid attention to the person next to him.

Li Hui sat quietly beside him for a long time, as if he was thoughtful, and as if he suddenly woke up. For a while, the depression between his eyebrows was clear, and there was a faint glow between his expectations, as if he had completely let go of a qiē, and he actually revealed a bit of chic from his flesh and bones.

The king of Xin'an is not the king of Xin'an in his previous life, who could only die of depression.

__________________________________________________________________________

On the day of Wang Zimu's ordination, Li Hui did not rush over to participate, but diligently busy with official business in Dali Temple. When the sun was setting, when he left the public house, he saw Princess Changning's tired car coming slowly.

In the car window, Princess Changning looked over without sadness or joy, and lightly opened her red lips: "I just met, why don't you send me back to the palace?" ”

Li Hui rode his horse and followed the car and silently walked with the car. Princess Changning also never said a word, as if today's meeting was indeed just a coincidence. Seeing that the palace gate was in front of him, he couldn't hold back as a brother, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Today, Zimu shaved his degree." Zixian didn't plan to persuade him anymore, so he let him go. ”

"......" Princess Changning lowered her eyes, and no one knew what was floating in her eyes. However, the corners of her lips were gently hooked, and her voice was so light that it was almost inaudible, "It's okay, forget about each other in the rivers and lakes from now on......"

Li Hui shook his head, and couldn't help but defend Wang Zimu a few words: "The facts that have happened in the Wang family recently are too many and too messy, and he is an extremely upright and pure person, so it is reasonable that he can't stand it." Perhaps, this is the best choice he can make at the moment. In the future, a monk has nothing to do with anyone...... even if the story of this little child reaches the ears of those who are interested, it is impossible to keep an eye on a monk.

"Brother." Princess Changning looked at him fixedly, and actually laughed, "I'm really happy for him." How could a man as selfish as me be willing to see him marry another woman? He was only interested in me from beginning to end, and then there were no more emotions in his heart - and so, very good. ”

Seeing that Li Hui was stunned, she turned her head slightly: "Brother, I have always had such a temperament." What belongs to me must not be touched by others. Even what is nominally mine, it must not be tainted with the breath of others. Otherwise, I'd rather abandon it entirely. After that, her eyes turned slightly, and her gaze flowed with both the delicate and delicate of a girl, and the extremely sharp edge: "Brother? Do you want to keep that 'treasure' by your side and treasure it tightly? Or do you want to leave it behind completely? ”

"Since it's a brother's business, you don't need to worry about it as a sister." Li Hui was not moved at all, and sent her to the palace gate as usual. Princess Changning looked at him carefully and smiled wistfully.

________________________________________________________________________________

When Li Hui returned to King Pu's mansion, he instinctively felt that the prince had come over. He instructed Mother Zhang to take out the long-cherished Xinfeng wine and send it to the dormitory with the evening meal.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the dormitory, he saw Wang Zixian meditating on a game of chess, seemingly immersed in it, but in fact he was never able to concentrate. Li Hui changed into a shirt with wide robes and large sleeves, and with a slight flick, he lifted all the chess pieces. The black and white clouds fell to the ground, and the awakened prince raised his head to look at him.

"I think you're in a bad mood today, so I'll drink with you, how about it?" His expression was extremely calm, as if he was not the one who had sworn again many days ago that he would never drink lightly.

“…… Terrified? It's good. The prince smiled lightly, "It's rare that you are interested in accompanying me." ”

"I've been in a good mood." Li Huidao. After the food and wine were ready, he personally poured the wine in a wide-mouthed jade cup, and the clear wine was reflected by the jade cup with a slight emerald color, reflecting the light of the lights next to him. When the slight ripples open, it is particularly tempting.

Li Hui didn't seem to be able to resist the temptation, so he actually raised his head and drank a glass, and laughed loudly: "Good wine!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Zixian had to smile helplessly: "You can't wait for me to pour the wine, so you drink it yourself." Will you drink with me, or will I drink with you? He had to pick up the jade cup and pour the wine himself. As soon as he began to pour, the strong aroma of wine came to his face, and it really hooked the worms in his stomach one after another.

However, Li Hui took his jade cup very easily and took another sip: "Good wine......

"......" The prince was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but get closer and look at him carefully, "Xuanqi, aren't you already drunk?" ”

Li Hui raised his glass and looked at him, suddenly smiled, and in an instant it was like a spring flower blooming, and the wind was slightly drunk: "Do you think I'm drunk?" ”

This smile almost made the prince devoted. He became more and more convinced that he had drunk somewhere, and that he should have returned to the house drunk. If not, how could he smile so unreservedly at such a time? It was clear that some time ago, I was a little resistant to his closeness, but now it seems to have returned to those defenseless moments at the beginning.

"Okay, you're not drunk." He had to sigh and reply—he couldn't resist such a smile, and the blood boiled almost instantly, "If I'm really not drunk, let me taste this wine?" ”

Li Hui curled the corners of his lips and drank the remaining liquor in the glass.

Just as the prince was crying and laughing, he suddenly approached him, and his warm lips pressed against him with lightning speed.

The liquor, which still had a cold and strong aroma, instantly poured into Wang Zixian's mouth, accompanied by a low laugh: "How? It's ...... taste."

Wang Zixian was completely stunned, lost his reaction in an instant, and could only passively dance with the lips and tongue in his mouth. When he gradually came back to his senses, Fang squinted his eyes, followed Li Hui's strength to hold him down slowly, and looked up at the person who was almost covering him: "Sure enough, this taste is better than thousands of delicious wines and delicacies, enough to make me intoxicated with it for the rest of my life, and I will never wake up again." ”

Li Hui looked down at him and sighed with a smile: "Zixian, you are so easy to be satisfied." ”

The prince shook his head: "No, I will never be satisfied. ”

Hearing this, Li Hui laughed: "Heh, is it? ”
