The partial courtyard behind the main hall of Ganye Temple is divided into two large parts, one part is the place where the nuns in the original temple live, the Zen room with blue bricks and black tiles, and the large tofu block is neatly arranged in rows, forming a big courtyard in the shape of "Hui". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The other part is a small courtyard that has been planned in a hurry, and there are nearly 100 gray walls and blue tiles in the meditation rooms, large and small, where the concubines who have been fortunate in the period of Gaozu and Taizong live.

The concubines with a slight position were all in the deepest part of this small courtyard, separated by a simple wall, several separate small courtyards, a small moon cave door was opened, and the little nuns who had been specially dialed in waited for their lives. Help get some food from the kitchen, or serve decoction when you are sick.

Although it is a small courtyard alone, the courtyard is lackluster, and knee-high weeds can be seen everywhere outside the meditation room, although they have long since withered in this season, from the appearance of the withered yellow everywhere, it is not difficult to imagine the wild growth of summer when it is flourishing.

Time seems to have stopped here, leaving only a fleeting phantom that falls on the wall and the ground, and disappears in an instant.

Shang Shang stood by the wall of the small courtyard, frowning slightly, looking at the identical house in front of him.

There was no trace of popularity in the house under the snowflakes, and it was silent as if there was no one. The closed door seemed to be imprisoned in the breath of life, and she could only look at these rooms in a daze, not knowing where to find it.

There was the sound of approaching footsteps in my ears, and the queen was coming!

Glancing left and right, the merchant stomped his feet in frustration and dodged into the shadows on the side of a small meditation room near the courtyard wall, secretly praying that he would not be discovered by the accompanying guards.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it fluttered like goose feathers in the wind, refusing to land.

With a "squeak" sound, the tightly closed door of the small courtyard was gently pushed open, as if opening the entrance to the prosperous world outside, and Queen Wang, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes and looking dignified and elegant, appeared at the door.

"! Please" quietly go to the courtyard to lead to nothing.

Two columns of guards silently came out from behind, guarding both sides of the door, quietly waiting for the queen to step into the door.

"Hmm!" Queen Wang replied noncommittally, but her eyes stared at the scene in the small courtyard in front of her.

"Ahh Yikes! The crisp sound of clogs sounded in the small courtyard.

The queen lifted her feet and stepped on the bluestone path in the courtyard.

Looking around, the withered grass and dead poplars, the desolate and desolate scenery made her shudder, the original white and red complexion, but at this time it showed a piece of blue and white, so that she could not bear it and grabbed Xingrui's hand fiercely, pinched Xingrui's hand deeply, and made Xingrui gasp in pain.

Liao Jing looked at Queen Wang's face cautiously, and at this time, seeing that Queen Wang's face was uncertain, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but when she was in this situation, she didn't dare to speak rashly, so she had to follow closely to the side, serving carefully, and secretly regretting that she hadn't cleaned up this small courtyard in advance.

The courtyard was quiet, there was no voice, no shadow, and even the queen Feng's presence did not stir up even the slightest ripple in this backwater-like courtyard.

"Master Jing! How many lay monks are there here? Queen Wang took a deep breath, buried the horror in her chest deep into her heart, and turned to Jing and asked.

"There are still sixty-eight laymen who are here to practice." Li Jing hesitated slightly, but still said a number that greatly surprised Queen Wang.

"Sixty-eight?" Queen Wang's face was shocked, and she opened her lips slightly to look at Jing.

The number that Li Jing said was too different from what she knew!

When Emperor Gaozu was in power, because of the disaster of war for many years, it was indeed a lack of harem, but Emperor Gaozu was merry by nature, and the number of concubines and palace maids in the harem was not many, although she did not know about the concubines of Gaozu, but she knew about Emperor Taizong's concubines, and there were more than 70 people who sent Yulin Army out of Taiji Palace at that time, how could only 68 people remain?

Looking at the surprise on Queen Wang's face and the faint anger, she secretly complained in her heart.

It's really not a good errand to shelter the widow, where can these women who are used to living a luxurious life get used to such a hard life? Ganye Temple is still a big temple in Chang'an City, and eats the royal offerings, but the rules and precepts still have to be observed, a few days of vegetarian food to eat, and see that the ancient Buddha of the green lantern has no hope, swallowing gold, hanging, throwing wells, almost every day!

reported to the palace, and the palace was just a sentence of burial, so there was no explanation. She can't help it, preaching to these people is not helpful to playing the piano to the cow, and she won't have any effect.

Over the past year, more than 100 people who came here committed suicide and died of illness, and now there are only these people left, and not even half of them.

"It's quiet! What the hell is going on? How come there are only sixty-eight left? "The queen's face was extremely ugly.

"The queen mother is clear! A total of eighty-five people were sent out of the palace when Emperor Gaozu was funeral, and seventy-two people were sent out when Emperor Taizong was funeral, and all of them were placed in this small courtyard, but ...... The nobles had a deep friendship with the two emperors, and soon, they followed the emperors one after another. ”

Jing Jing's face was a little pale, her knees were weak and she knelt in the snow, and the cold sweat on her body was layer after layer, she only hoped that Queen Wang could understand these hints.

Xingrui looked at Jing anxiously sweating, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for her, lowered her head and leaned in front of Queen Wang and whispered something, Queen Wang's eyes were slightly better, but there was something more in her eyes.

"Get up! I don't blame you for that. "After figuring out what happened, Queen Wang also understood that there were some things that could not be done by manpower.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Only then did Jing get up, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and felt that her back was wet and cold.

"Because this small courtyard was built temporarily, there are many places in it that have not been cleaned, why don't you go to the poor nun meditation room to sit for a while?"

Fearing that Queen Wang would see something that made her uncertain, Jing Lianxin suggested that Queen Wang move the phoenix and move to another place.

"The main palace is in this small courtyard to see, you go and open the door of the meditation room, this palace wants to gossip with the laymen." The queen stared at the silence with her eyes, and the meaning of her words was unquestionable.

"Yes!" Li Jing didn't dare to object, so she hurriedly took two steps, walked to a meditation room, and knocked lightly on the door.

After a long while, the door opened slightly, revealing a pair of dark eyes.

Jing whispered something to the man, but saw that the eyes looked straight at the queen across Jing's shoulders, and looked at it for a long time, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled slightly, and his eyes showed a sarcastic look, and his eyes shot murderously like a sharp knife.

The queen was startled, and was about to retreat, but when she saw Jing, she stumbled and almost fell, and the door closed with a "bang".

He stabilized his body and retreated a little embarrassed.

"The poor nun is incompetent, this layman said that he is outside the red dust, and there is no need to see each other."

The queen stood stunned, she had never seen such eyes, dark and dreary, as if even the strongest light at noon could illuminate them, if she hadn't seen her for the moment of blade-like coldness, she would really have thought that it was not human eyes!

"Queen Mother! Poor Ni knocks on it for you. Without waiting for the queen's orders, he turned around and walked to the row of meditation rooms in front of him.

But the queen was immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't hear Jing's words.

It turns out that this is the last place for the palace concubine who has no heirs to support! The eyes of a dead man, the heart of ashes! Will? Will you become like this in the future?

Thinking that she had been married for many years but still had no son or daughter by her side, Queen Wang suddenly felt a cold breath coming out of her heart, wrapping her from head to toe, unable to break free, and gradually numb.

A deep fear gripped her so tightly that she didn't even dare to let go of her breath, lest it alarm the beast that was called fear deep in her heart, and devoured her at this moment!

"Mingkong sees the queen mother!"

A clear female voice dragged the queen out of this terrible conjecture.

When the queen tightened Xingrui's hand and looked at it, she saw the green silk on the head of the low head in front of her, and a gray monk's robe.

Li Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief on the side: Finally! Finally, someone is willing to come out and answer!

"Get up!" As if she had finally calmed down, the queen's voice seemed a little weak and tired.

"Yes!"

With this female voice, the woman standing in the heavy snow got up, and her eyes looked at the woman in front of her with calm eyes.

"Martial artists?" Queen Wang was taken aback.

The gray monk's robe shook slightly, and then it was calm again.

The green silk of the original martial arts talent is now high above her head in the bright sky, which is tightly bound by a rough wooden hairpin, which makes the corners of her eyes a little upturned, as if with some smiles, the skin of her face is as delicate as ever, like fiery red lips in this dim sky, lined with white porcelain-like skin, which makes people look at it only thrilling, the swan-like smooth neck is exposed, and the arc is still so beautiful.

At this time, the martial artist actually had some ethereal aura that did not eat the fireworks of the world, obviously standing in front of her, but she always felt as if she was thousands of miles away, alienated and indifferent, and the amazing beauty also became much blurred under this distance.

"Queen Mother! The snow road is slippery, so it's better to stay in the Zen room in the bright sky! The martial artist seemed to have not heard the queen's exclamation for a while, and just said softly.

"It's good!"

Queen Wang also reacted to her gaffe, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, it can be seen that the martial artist is unaware, so she also put her mind at ease and agreed.

Originally, when she was in the palace, she still had some friendship with martial artists, but now she is here again, but it is no longer a thing, Queen Wang really sighed in her heart, and she was also a little worthless: such a flower-like year, in the future, she will have to waste it in this cold place!

On the one hand, I was alerting myself to not let myself fall into this step. Queen Wang took Xingrui's hand and followed Jing and Mingkong, and slowly stepped into Mingkong's meditation room.

When the door of the meditation room "creaked" shut, the merchant wiped a cold sweat in the dark shadow by the wall: could it be that he guessed wrong? Li Zhi didn't come to Ganye Temple?

If this is the case, then this trip to Ganye Temple can be regarded as a vain run, but let yourself have a false alarm! Thinking of his suspicions, Shang Shang couldn't help but be a little amused.

After all, she cared too much about Li Mo, if it weren't for him, why would she be so nervous?

Thinking of Li Mo who was far away in Taizong's Mausoleum, the hearts of the merchants covered in snow couldn't help but feel hot: It's time to go back!
