Chapter 536: Withered Glory
The spring light is thick, the distant mountains are thick green, and the near place is full of white.
It is the spring that the mountain full of locust flowers blooms, wafting a faint fragrance, the country urchin climbs up the high treetops to pick locust flowers, picks the fresh flowers without caring about washing and puts them in their mouths to chew, leaving a mouthful of fragrant breath, and the rest is put in a basket made of willow branches to take home and ask their mother to make the locust flower rice with them.
At this time, every child is busy picking locust flowers, at the foot of the mountain near the village, several older children are folding branches on the tree, and a little boy of four or five years old looks up and looks up, and from time to time he says a few words: "The locust flowers over there are good, pick the ...... over there"
Suddenly, a few teenagers ran over like a gust of wind, and saw the little boy laughing and went over: "Little tether, what are you still doing here, your family is going to be developed, you don't have to eat locust flowers in the future, you can eat meat and drink wine every day." ”
The little bolt turned his head to look over, looking uncertain: "What are you talking about?" ”
One of the young men smiled and took the hand of the little bolt: "Haven't you heard of your family, Yingwuhou has returned to his hometown, it is said that when he entered the city, the formation was very tight, and even the county lord went to greet her, and some people in our village also saw it, it is said that there are several large boxes of gold and silver treasures brought back alone, not to mention the side." ”
"Who is the Marquis of Yingwu?" Where did the little tether understand this: "What does it have to do with his return to my family?" ”
The teenagers laughed, and they didn't know if there was a bit of disdain and ridicule in their smiles: "I don't even know this, I'm so stupid, Yingwu Hou is an official of the official family." It's big, it's a good product. In addition to the official family, she is the biggest official, and that Yingwu Marquis is your aunt. When she's back, she's going to have to promote your own family. ”
"Auntie?" Xiao Lianzi pondered, why had he never heard of such a powerful aunt.
However, he didn't think that the teenagers were coaxing him, and he didn't care about the acacia flowers immediately, so he ran home, which was not far from his house, he ran straight into the house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted at Li Lianshan, who was sitting in the courtyard and resting: "Grandpa, grandpa." They said that my aunt was a heroic marquis, and that my aunt was back, and our family was going to be prosperous. ”
"What?" Li Lianshan stood up suddenly: "Who said it, but it's true?" ”
Xiao Lianzi said loudly: "I know, everyone else is talking about it, saying that the county master welcomes my aunt." ”
He said, with a little smug on his face: "Isn't my aunt very powerful?" How powerful? ”
Li Lianshan's heart was hot when he heard this, and he was grinding in the yard in a circle, and after a while, he said, "No." I'll have to ask. ”
"Inquiring about what?" Before he finished speaking, a woman walked out, and Li Lianshan smiled: "I heard that the girl is back, so majestic." Even the county magistrate greeted him in person. ”
"Really?" The woman patted Li Lianshan: "Then what are you waiting for, go and inquire." ”
Li Lianshan laughed twice, and asked the woman to prepare some fresh vegetables that had just been served in the field. packed up one of the rabbits that Li Qiucai had beaten yesterday, and then carried them out of the door. I don't want to touch the village chief of Lijiazhuang, so naturally he is also the patriarch of the clan. The patriarch also heard that Li Luan'er had come back, so he also wanted to go into the city to inquire about the situation, and happened to meet Li Lianshan, so he invited Li Lianshan to go with him.
It is only said that Li Luan'er and Yan Chengyue returned to their hometown, and they rested for two days in the first two days, and then accompanied General Yan to worship their ancestors, Yan Chengyue was busy looking for craftsmen to repair the archway, and Li Luan'er went to the largest temple in the county.
This secluded temple has been around for some years, it seems that there was a previous dynasty, but in the end, the people of Fenghuang County are poorer, this secluded temple is very old, and it is narrower than the temple in the capital, but there is also a high monk here.
It was this monk that Li Luan'er went to meet.
The age of this senior monk in the secluded temple is unknown, and he is the current master who presides over it, and he has been out of board of directors as early as twenty or thirty years ago, and he stays in the back mountain all day to recite scriptures and seek Buddhist principles, and he does not go out of the mountain.
Li Luan'er went up the mountain alone, donated a sum of sesame oil money at the door of the secluded temple, entered the temple to see the host, and said that he wanted to visit the Kurong Zen master, the host was embarrassed at first, and then saw that Li Luan'er had a clear eye, although he had a bad spirit, but also a rare self-integrity, so he agreed to ask the master.
Li Luan'er simply had nothing to do, so he found a quiet place in the temple to sit down and rest, and the host went about an hour before he appeared, and when he came out, he led Li Luan'er to the back mountain.
The original Li Luan'er thought that Master Kurong had been enlightened for many years, and he was the master who presided over it, a famous monk, and his residence must be quiet and elegant, but he didn't want to walk a little way to see a small thatched hut, and a vegetable field was opened in front of the thatched house, and a fat monk was smiling with a hoe to farm.
"Master." The host stood still and respectfully saluted the fat monk.
Li Luan'er knew that this must be Zen Master Kurong, and she also smiled and went over to see it.
Master Kurong put down the hoe in his hand, waved his hand to the host, and the host went down the mountain very interestingly, Master Kurong looked at Li Luan'er, and smiled: "The old monk knew that there was a distinguished guest a few days ago, and he didn't want to be a heroic marquis." ”
"How does the monk know that I am the Marquis of Yingwu?" Li Luan'er asked with a smile: "Can't I be someone's wife, can't I be a little lady?" ”
Master Kurong laughed: "Master Hou sits." ”
Li Luan'er saw that there were a few stones next to him, and the fat monk had already sat down on a big stone, but Li Luan'er didn't sit down: "I haven't admitted that I am the Marquis of Yingwu." ”
Master Kurong was not angry, and said with a smile: "The face is beautiful, the posture is like a weak woman, and it looks like an ordinary and beautiful little lady, but the Hou Ye has a clear eye, a majestic face, and his body is full of evil energy, I want to know who it can be except for the Marquis of Yingwu." ”
This time, Li Luan'er sat down generously: "The monk guessed right, what do you think I came to look for you to do?" ”
Master Kurong waved his hand: "It's boring, it's boring, Zuo is just curious about what the old monk looks like to see what it looks like, and the Hou Ye won't get married, so what else can he do to find the old monk." ”
Li Luan'er also smiled: "You are quite interesting, I heard that you are a monk, so I want to ask you and me to recommend some monks to my father and mother to do a dharma, naturally, there is curiosity, who asked others to pass on you so magical, I naturally want to see what this magical old monk looks like, what skills he has, whether he will soar through the clouds, whether he can turn stones into gold." ”
Master Kurong, who was amused by a sentence, laughed again: "Hou Ye really lives up to his reputation, he is different from ordinary people, the old monk has covered the things that Hou Ye said about the matter, only the old monk will not dance in the clouds, nor will he turn stones into gold, only look at people's faces and see that people will still be in the past and future, but they can't see what the origin of Hou Ye is, only look at Hou Ye's luck and face are very different, I don't know if Hou Ye can solve the old monk's doubts." ”
Li Luan'er was taken aback, thinking that when she came to this world, she met the Taoist surnamed Zhang, and the Taoist also said that her face was different, as if she died early, but she was still alive and well, it was very strange, at that time she understood in her heart, but she didn't think that the Taoist was so powerful, and now I heard Master Kurong mention the old things, but I was a little respectful.
"I can't say where I came from, I can only say that what the master said has some truth." Li Luan'er said with a smile: "The master can't see my past, so let's look at my future." ”
Master Kurong looked at Li Luan'er with a straight face, and only sighed after a while: "Hou Ye's luck is also very peculiar, it seems that the arrival of Hou Ye has changed the fate of many people...... I'm afraid that the entire Dayong has also changed its national fortunes because of Hou Ye. ”
"What should have been?" Li Luan'er also corrected the color: "Even if it should be, how can it change because of me, that is, because of me, how can the master not know that what has changed is what it should be." ”
Master Kurong stood up suddenly, looked at Li Luan'er carefully, sighed, and saluted Li Luan'er again: "Master Hou's words woke up the person in the dream, it was me who looked at him." ”
After speaking, Master Kurong sat on the ground and closed his eyes tightly, reciting words in his mouth.
Li Luan'er was a little speechless, only to see that there was no one left and right, and saw that this was on the mountain, afraid that if any beast attacked him when the old monk was sitting in meditation, the old monk might as well lose his life, so he could only helplessly protect the Dharma for him.
Master Kurong sat in meditation for a long time, and did not open his eyes until the afternoon, when the old monk opened his eyes, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and then, there was a peaceful color.
The original Master Kurong had a sense of laughter in the red dust, as if he was out of the red dust and couldn't fit into the world, but now the master of Kurong is sitting there and people are not easy to notice, as if he is the most ordinary old man in the world, so that people don't want to take a second look after a glance.
It's just that Li Luan'er feels that Master Kurong's Buddhism has improved.
Master Kurong smiled at Li Luan'er: "Thank you for mentioning the grace of protecting the Dharma, in the future, as long as Hou Ye can use our secluded temple, just give orders." ”
Li Luan'er hurriedly got up and said, "It's polite." ”
After saying a few more words to Master Ku Rong, Li Luan'er offered to leave, but Ku Rong did not send her, and let her leave.
Li Luan'er walked out of the distance, Ku Rong was still standing in front of the thatched hut, and the host of the secluded temple didn't know when he would appear, standing behind Ku Rong and calling the master.
Ku Rong didn't reply, and ordered in a deep voice: "That Yingwu Hou is a person with great luck, and in the future, this person can only get married, not be evil." ”
"Yes." The host respectfully agreed, and then listened to Ku Rong say: "I'm going to retreat, you can ask a few senior monks and the parents of the Hou Ye to be a practitioner in my name, you must handle this matter yourself, be careful." ”
The host got the order to say goodbye and leave, and Ku Rong smiled and went back to the hut to study Buddhism without mentioning it.
When Li Luan'er went back, it was already dark, she just got out of the carriage, and before she stepped into the door, she might as well stab two people out of the oblique stab, and the two people shouted: "Luan girl (Yingwu Hou) ......"
Li Luan said that he glanced twice through the moonlight and the lantern in front of the door, and it took him a long time to recognize these two people. (To be continued......)
