During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished in all countries. The Buddhist event in the city of Wei Guoping, the Zhuyuan Temple where Hui'an Shitai is located has invited a new four-meter-high statue of Sakyamuni, which is about to be consecrated for the ceremony. Tuoba Tao sent out invitations to reconcile with neighboring countries. All countries sent envoys to come to pay tribute to this grand meeting, and the envoy sent by the Xia Kingdom this time was Helianding, the king of the plains.

Tuoba Tao's uncle of the Seventh Emperor Guangping King Tuoba Lian held a banquet in the palace to entertain envoys from various countries, but in the middle of the night, he was assassinated in his bedroom, and the method was the same as the murder of the king of Henan last year. Tuoba Tao immediately declared martial law in the whole city, and the personnel entering and leaving the city were strictly checked. Hanging white filial piety in front of the people's homes, the Zhuyuan Temple of Hui'an Shitai is the practice of the king of Guangping.

Qiyun wrote down on the paper the list of guests who had hosted a banquet before the king of Henan and the king of Guangping were killed, and carefully checked them over and over again, and found out the people who attended the banquet twice, one was Mochuan and the other was Helianding, and both of them were strong in kung fu. Qiyun crossed a few lines under the names of the two, thought for a long time, but never got the point, abandoned the pen and walked out of the house.

She heard that the consecration ceremony of the Buddha statue in Zhuyuan Temple was still going on as scheduled, and people from a radius of hundreds of miles came to visit the temple fair. Seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, it was better to go and see the excitement, so I invited Yin Xue to go with me.

The two of them took off the gold and jade decorations on their bodies, wore the clothes of ordinary daughters and went out, without their entourage, and walked to Zhuyuan Temple at will.

On the mountain, the sun is shining, the scenery on both sides of the mountain road is charming, and the flowers and trees are pleasant. Qiyun didn't want to crowd in the crowd, so he walked to the remote mountain road, and when he came to a fork in the road, he was confronted by two young men, both of whom were well-dressed and richly dressed. The difference is that one person is dressed as a Xianbei nobleman, and the other is dressed as a Xiongnu.

Getting closer, Qiyun saw the person on the other side clearly, his face turned white, and his heart couldn't help but pound. It turned out that the people on the opposite side were Tuoba Qi, the Duke of Hejian in the Wei State, and Helianding, the king of the plains of the Xia State.

Tuoba Qi saw them and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and Qiyun and Yinxue smiled and returned the salute. He looked at Yin Xue, his eyes lit up, and a smile like the rising sun appeared on his face.

Tuoba Qi is a bold man in the north, and when he sees the woman he likes at this moment, he doesn't hide his thoughts, and his strong affection hangs on his face. When Yin Xue saw him like this, the smile on her face disappeared, and she returned to a cold and bitter expression.

Helian looked at Qiyun with his eyes and asked with a smile, "Who is this beautiful girl?" Why does this king look very familiar? ”

"This is Yun Zhuohua, the master of Mingyue Xuan, which is famous in Pingcheng." Tuoba replied.

"Miss Yun is very similar to an old man below, but it just so happens that there is also a cloud character in her name. I don't know if I can invite the two girls to visit the mountains together? Helian Ding smiled, but there was a chill in his eyes.

That's what I mean. I wonder what the two girls think? Tuoba Qi also invited them.

Qiyun wanted to refuse, but when he saw Tuoba Qi looking at Yin Xue with expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse him, so he smiled and said, "It's remote here, there are not a few people, so it's good for us to be companions together." The prince of the river and the king of the plains, please. ”

The four of them walked together to the temple on the top of the mountain, the mountain road was rugged, and Tuoba Qi took care of Yinxue diligently. Yin Xue's true feelings were ignored by Yizhen, and she was sad for a long time. Qiyun also hopes that Yin Xue can find her true love, thinking in her heart that she must hint at Yizhen when she turns around, otherwise Yin Xue is such a good girl, and Yizhen will miss out.

Her pace slowed down, and she fell a long distance from Tuoba Qi and Yinxue in front of her. Helian walked beside her unhurriedly.

"You don't care about other people, you don't care about yourself." Helian Ding looked at her wandering thoughts and sneered.

Qiyun didn't seem to hear it, and walked silently. Qiyun took a deep breath, broke the embarrassment, and asked casually: "Last night, King Guangping invited you to the palace as a guest, and he was actually murdered in the middle of the night, how could it be so coincidental?" ”

Helian Ding stopped, his face like a crown of jade became gloomy, and he turned his head and sneered at her: "Lord Zhuohua, what do you mean by this?" I didn't ask about you using me back then, but now ** is questioning me. ”

Seeing his somewhat terrifying appearance at the moment, Qiyun swallowed his saliva and said, "King of the Plains, Qiyun apologizes to you for what happened before. At that time, I was under house arrest in Chang'an, and I used the golden cicada of the Plains King to get out of my shell, and I was also forced to be helpless, and there was no other way to think of it. caused the king of the plains to suffer, is it Qiyun's. Qiyun tried hard to express her apologies sincerely.

"Just an apology, where is your apology? Where is your heart? The corners of Helianding's mouth sneered, and his eyebrows and eyes were frosty, "Lord Zhuohua, do you think that your fluttering apology can erase the trouble and pain you have caused me?" You dream! Saying this, Helian Ding's face suddenly became hideous and terrifying.

Qiyun's heart trembled, her face turned pale, Helian Ding stepped forward step by step, and her tall figure made Qiyun feel oppressive, and she was pressed to the cliff of the mountain road. Qiyun had no way to retreat, only to stand close to the cliff.

Helian Ding stepped forward, grabbed Qiyun's shoulder with his right hand, and pressed his fingers against her jaw, Qiyun had to look up at him, ashamed and annoyed, raised his right leg and kicked him in the knee. Helian Ding avoided it lightly, and her solid and powerful thighs pressed against her body.

Helian Ding sneered: "Don't do useless struggles, let's talk about King Guangping." When King Quang Binh was killed last night, I left the palace an hour ago, and the guards of this palace can testify to it. How can you doubt this king just because I attended last night's banquet? Why are you so naïve? ”

Qiyun's jaw was pinched by him, and he couldn't speak. Helian Ding stretched out his thumb and rubbed Qiyun's cheek, and said slowly and elegantly: "As you said, if King Guangping was really killed by me, what are you going to do?" ”

Qiyun's body trembled, and he struggled and said, "I don't know what to do, you let me go......"

"Sister Yun, Sister Yun......" There was a shout of Yin Xue in the distance, getting closer and closer.

Helian Ding let go of Qiyun in a daze, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since you are suspicious of me, you go and tell Tuoba Tao and let him kill this king." You care so much about him? ”

Qiyun stroked her slightly messy hair and stabilized herself. At this time, Tuoba Qi and Yin Xue came running. Yin Xue said anxiously: "Sister Yun, you haven't followed for a long time, I thought something happened to you." ”

"With this king as the messenger of the flowers, what will happen to Miss Zhuohua?" Helian Ding clipped his hand and said idly on the side.

"Also, with the King of the Plains, it will be fine. You don't have to worry too much about Yinxue. Tuoba Qi smiled from the side.

Qiyun pressed the trembling in her heart and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, there will be nothing." It's getting late, so let's hurry up the mountain. ”

Climbed all the way up the ninety-nine steps to the Zhuyuan Temple at the top of the mountain. Seeing the smoke of incense, the incense is flourishing, because it is getting late, many people are returning after visiting the Buddha statue. In the Buddha hall, the hustle and bustle of the day is gone, and the oblique sunset illuminates the hall, which looks quiet and solemn.

Master Hui An held Buddha beads in her hand, standing at the door and sending away a group of pilgrims who worshiped the Buddha. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Qiyun and his group of four, and couldn't help but stop, looking at them in a daze, his eyes stayed on Helianding's face and looked at them carefully. It wasn't until Tuoba Qi stepped forward to salute that she seemed to wake up, and Qiyun and Yin Xue also stepped forward to salute and say hello.

Hui An welcomed the four of them into the Buddha hall. In the Buddha hall, they went around in a circle, and Hui An accompanied them. Yin Xue saw every Buddha statue, and bowed her head and bowed down. From time to time, Tuoba Qi introduced to Yin Xue what he knew about Buddhism.

Qiyun also walked around, and inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of Hui'an, who had always been peaceful and demure, looking at Helian Ding with strange eyes, with a look of joy and sadness on his face, and he was uncertain.

Helian Ding noticed Hui An's gaze, couldn't help but look back at her, and asked, "Shitai, do we know each other?" ”

Hui An hurriedly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said softly: "Amitabha, the poor nun looks at the donor's attire, not from Wei. So after a few more glances, the donor is not strange. ”

Helian Ding smiled and said, "I don't know how to see the teacher, but I am a little familiar, like I knew each other many years ago." But this king has never been to Heijo, this is the first time. Shitai has traveled everywhere and been to the Xia Kingdom? ”

Hui An smiled back and said, "Poor Ni Yunyou has been to the Xia Kingdom, but that was many years ago, and the donor was probably not born at that time. The donor saw that the poor nun was familiar, but he was afraid that it was the fate of his previous life. ”

Hearing her say this, Qiyun took a closer look at the two of them, but saw that Master Hui'an's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Helianding's. One has been in the Xia State for a long time, and the other is more than in the Wei State, the two have never met, but they met at first sight, I am afraid that this is the so-called fate in Buddhism.
