The small cell was only twenty steps away, and it was possible to go back and forth from the door to the opposite side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The blue-black walls were all made of granite, and the cracks in the stone had long been poured so that no needle could penetrate them, and in this sturdy house there was only a wooden bed that was only an arm's length and a candlestick nailed high in the wall.

At this moment, in the faint light of the candle flame in the room, two figures were sitting on the only wooden bed, snuggling tightly together, even with the sound of opening the iron door, they did not see the slightest reaction.

Wu Meiniang, who was standing at the door, looked at this scene in a daze, and the blush faded on her cheeks with a light rouge.

"What's wrong? Disappointed? Eat one's heart out? Li Zhi casually glanced at the room, a mocking smile on his face.

As if she hadn't heard Li Zhi's words, Wu Meiniang showed a smile of relief on her face, and slowly stepped out.

The sound of soft footsteps stopped in front of Li Ke, and Princess Wu in his arms still had her eyes closed quietly, as if she was enjoying this rare and perhaps the last warmth, and no one could disturb her. And Li Ke, who was hugging his wife, looked at his feet quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was no depression after half a point of failure.

"Lord Wang!" Wu Meiniang's lips opened slightly, a little sad and a little regretful.

Before she saw Li Ke, she had imagined the scene when she saw him many times, but it was only at this time, looking at Princess Wu who was nestled in his arms peacefully, and Li Ke who was smiling, that Wu Meiniang suddenly realized: This man has never belonged to him!

Li Ke's gaze shifted slightly, and then turned to Wu Meiniang in front of him.

The woman in front of him was dressed in plain clothes, and her beautiful face, which was as good as three years ago, seemed to be a quiet lotus, staying in his gaze.

"You're here!" No surprise, no exclamation, just a statement.

"I'm coming to see you." Wu Meiniang spoke, but suddenly felt that she didn't know what to say, this man obviously no longer cared about what he once cared about, and there was too much distance between her and him, and there was no longer a topic to talk about.

"Princess, she...... What's the plan? Although she vaguely felt that she would not get an answer, Wu Meiniang still opened her mouth.

Li Zhi leaned against the wall steadily, this strange scene in the room was full of an extraordinarily complicated meaning in his eyes, Wu Meiniang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping was analyzed into an inconvenient embarrassment in his eyes, and this analysis made the ridicule on his face thicker and thicker.

"Isn't it inconvenient to have me here? Do you want me to leave for a while? Li Zhi smiled and said, is such a threesome really rare?

Ignoring the astringent pain in his heart, Li Zhi's eyes became deeper and deeper, and although his gaze was slightly drooping, he always paid attention to Wu Meiniang's reaction.

"No need."

The three words fell on the damp cell, like drops of water on the blue brick floor, clear and clear.

Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi, who were interrupted by these three words from Li Ke's mouth, were slightly stunned, looking at Li Ke who was holding his wife in his arms and his face was peaceful, and the two suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

I saw Li Ke, who was dressed in a white prison uniform, suddenly smiled at the two of them, and slowly let go of the arm holding his wife, but Princess Wu still closed her eyes slightly, as if she didn't notice this subtle change.

Li Ke gently placed his wife with her eyes closed on the wooden bed where she had been lying for several days, pulled the thin futon and put it on her body, and then held her hands again.

Seeing Li Ke's actions, the expression on Li Zhi's face had changed greatly, he took two steps, stretched out his hand to probe Princess Wu's snort, but when he approached, he was stopped by Li Ke's cold eyes and pressing killing intent.

Li Ke, who originally looked gentle and serene, was desperately defending his territory like a mad lion at this time, and no one was allowed to violate it.

Seeing Li Zhi retreat three steps away, Li Ke relaxed his expression, and the corners of his mouth brought a faint smile again.

Seeing this strange scene happening, Wu Meiniang's eyes widened in horror, her lips couldn't help but tremble a little, and she covered her mouth tightly with one hand, for fear that she would scream if she was not careful.

"Li Ke! What the hell is going on? I allowed the Yang family to come in to visit, how could it be like this? Li Zhi said coldly, but he did not ignore the pain on Wu Meiniang's face.

The cold voice formed a cold echo in the narrow cell, which made people's ear drums buzz, but Li Ke never responded.

Just when Wu Meiniang almost couldn't bear this pressure, another cold voice suddenly sounded in the cell.

"Thank you to the emperor for letting the grass people's wives come in to visit, which also gave the grass people a chance to send her to death in person, the grass people are defeated, and they deserve to die, but there is still a reluctant request, and I hope the emperor will fulfill it."

Without waiting for Li Zhi to reply, Li Ke continued: "The grass people's wife has always been gentle and graceful, and she admonished the grass people a lot, but now she died because of the grass people, it is really because of the grass people, and I hope that the emperor can bury the grass people's wife and not make it humiliated by outsiders." ”

Looking at Li Ke, who was quietly clinging to his wife's hand and never looked back at the two, Li Zhi was silent for a moment, and his eyes were a little complicated looking at the two of them who were lying and sitting, and they were dying.

Even if Li Ke is defeated, there are people who live and die with him! If he is defeated, will the person he has in mind accompany him to the Nai He Bridge?

"I promise you!" Li Zhi's voice was deep.

Such a blessing! He won't be able to have it for the rest of his life, perhaps...... The final loser is not Li Ke, but himself!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Ke responded softly, and then never spoke again.

The two people standing in the cell both felt a downright despair and coldness, and although the woman lying on the bed had such a peaceful and appropriate smile on her face, the distance between life and death was still chilling.

It wasn't until she stumbled out of the cell that Wu Meiniang found that her face was already full of tears, and when the iron door was closed, a clear male voice suddenly came from the cell: "Mei Niang!" I'm sorry. ”

Li Zhi clearly saw that when this "I'm sorry" came into his ears, Wu Meiniang, who was a little shaky in front of her, trembled fiercely, and the cry that had been endured for an unknown amount of time finally sounded presumptuously at this moment.

Compared with the busyness and undercurrent in the court and the palace, the life of everyone in the Li Mansion is much easier.

Since she went to visit Gao Yang in the prison that day, Shang Shang asked Li Yan to fish out the box of things left by Gao Yang from the evidence room of Dali Temple and brought her into the prison for her, and her daily routine was indispensable to send her some food.

Maybe he had already seen it, or maybe he simply wanted to go with the debate, Gao Yang, who was in the prison, looked a little plumper than he was in the mansion and spent all day drinking, singing and singing at night, which made the businessmen sigh a little.

Although they discussed with Li Mo many times after returning home, the two really didn't find a feasible way to exonerate Gao Yang.

Those letters exchanged privately with Li Ke and the drafts that had been prepared by the ministers of the DPRK and China to support the new monarch after the matter was completed have become ironclad evidence of the existence of Dali Temple, so that people have no chance to overturn the case at all.

And the things that the master of the horse confessed after he was arrested and bullied men and women, and the indulgent things were even more jaw-dropping. Even the businessmen who didn't understand Gao Yang's betrayal of his marriage couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh: Such a man, whoever marries him is tortured!

With such a cognition, when she went to visit Gaoyang again, the attitude of the businessmen was softer than before, and when the court issued a clear decree to set the sentence, her mood sank into a trough again.

"Don't worry about me, I just got what I wanted, why should you do this?" Gao Yang was still sitting in that spot of light, gently stroking the brocade box in his hand, and his complexion gradually improved and even brought a slight flush on his face.

"Gao Yang ......" only called out two words, and Shang Shang felt a little tightness in his throat.

Li Zhi's sentence is set in July and a half, that is, less than two months! And just yesterday, the Yang family, who went to visit Li Ke in that solitary cell, also drank and died, will such a day be far from Gaoyang?

"What's there? It's just a death, I already miss him very much, this time I can go to see him and accompany him, I can't ask for it! Gao Yang laughed like a child, with a clear smile in his dark pupils.

Looking at Gao Yang who was so happy, Shang Shang only felt that there was no more comforting words to say, so he could only quietly watch her take out the things in the brocade box one by one, caressed them piece by piece by piece with the only point of light, and then put them back one by one, cherishing and cherishing them.

Until Shang Shang turned around and left, Gao Yang didn't say anything more, but when Shang Shang was about to walk out of the prison, he heard a faint floating word: "Go and worship Princess Wu for me!" This matter, I am sorry for her. ”

Oh, yes! If it weren't for her constant instigation, if it weren't for Li Ke not being able to pass his own level, maybe in the future, Princess Wu would be happy and happy.

But there are no ifs!

Stepping out of the prison, as if a little depressed, the merchant did not want to sit in the carriage, but put on a hat and sent the carriage with her back, but he walked aimlessly onto the wide Chang'an Avenue, crowded in the bustling crowd, feeling everything lively and full of life around him.

After that period of companionship in the dark prison, she needs to feel the warmth of the world in a place full of sunshine, feel the vigor of life, it seems that only in this way can she feel that she is still alive, so good!

Reaching out and grabbing a flower seller passing by, the merchant took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and bought a few blooming white gardenias, so that he could smell the fragrance without approaching his nose.

Perhaps, when Gao Yang is sent away, she and Li Mo should also leave, leave this place where they have lived for many years, go to other places in Datang to see, and measure all the places in this land with their feet.

As the crowd moved aimlessly, the corners of the merchants' mouths had a slight chuckle, as if they could already imagine the scenery beyond the heavy mountains.

"Merchant!" A clear and faint voice sounded softly in the merchant's ears.

The merchant who was smelling the fragrance of flowers was startled, and when he looked around, a long figure in white paused at the corner of the street in front of him, but when he looked again, he was gone.

"Yuwen?" Shang Shang subconsciously muttered, but his feet reacted quickly and followed.

It wasn't until I chased three streets forward, in the alley behind the Ci'en Temple, that I saw the white-clothed figure standing quietly at the back door of the Ci'en Temple, looking at the businessman who was a little angry because of the urgency of chasing with a smile on his face.

"In the past, I chased you behind you, is this the first time I've seen you chase me so quickly?" Yuwen joked with a light smile.

"Yuwen? Where have you been these days? I can't find you anywhere. Shang Shang slightly flattened the breath on his chest, and then replied with a smile.

Almost on the day Li Ke was held accountable, the businessman asked Li Mo to go to find out Li Zhi's tone, but the news he got back was that there was no news, and today Yuwen would appear on the street, which was really unexpected.

"I am in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and I have already worshiped Master Xuanzang as a teacher and practiced Buddhism." Yuwen's voice was faint, as if with some inexplicable joy.

It wasn't until this moment that the merchant noticed the clothes on Yuwen's body. Originally, he loved to wear white silk the most, and the kind of white silk with silver lines and horizontal stripes always had a kind of low-key luxury on him, and merchants rarely saw anyone who could wear monotonous white with his elegant appearance.

But now Yuwen is only wearing a simple white monk's robe, and there are even rough traces of thread on the cuffs, if it weren't for the bun on his head, the merchant would almost have wondered where this monk was.

"You are ......" From Yuwen's voice, Shang Shang sensitively sensed an indifferent joy, which made Shang Shang suddenly have a bad feeling.

"Do you have any time?" Yuwen asked casually.

Shang Shang nodded subconsciously, but asked the next moment, "What's wrong?" ”

"Today, Master wants to shave my degree, would you like to come and have a look?" Yuwen looked straight at Shang Shang, the look in his eyes was calm and serene.

In a trance, the businessman felt as if he had seen a debate from many years ago. The same handsome and elegant! The same abundance and handsomeness!

"Okay......" As if he had figured out something, Shang Shang suddenly smiled when he looked at Yuwen, and then said, "What if Master Xuanzang doesn't let me be around?" ”

Yuwen finally laughed, and said after laughing: "Why do you want to coax me?" Master Xuanzang respects you as the first layman in Buddhism, how can he drive you out? ”

was revealed by Yuwen's identity, but Shang Shang didn't feel embarrassed, just smiled at him, and followed him into the back door of Ci'en Temple.

Master Xuanzang is a Taoist monk, he will choose to inform Yuwen about this must have his reason, the merchant asked himself that he is just a worldly person, and he doesn't understand the thoughts of these great monks, so he doesn't want to pursue these.

The shaving ceremony in front of me does not seem to be as good as the one performed in the later movie "Shaolin Temple".

In this simple small meditation room of Master Xuanzang, two futons, one in front and one behind, were simply placed in the place facing the Buddha shrine, and Xuanzang, who was standing in front of the Buddha at this time, was smiling and greeting the merchants.

As soon as she entered the inner courtyard of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the merchant took off his hat, and when he saw Xuanzang greeting her, he smiled and saluted in return.

"Su Jushi! The newlywed old man did not wish the joy, and here he said hello to the layman. Xuanzang looked at the merchant with a smile and congratulated him.

It was indeed inappropriate for him to be a monk to attend such an occasion, so he just sent a little monk to send some simple congratulatory gifts the day before, and at this time, he couldn't help but congratulate the merchant in person.

"The master is very polite! The little woman is just married, and she can't be congratulated by the master in person. "When a merchant gives a salute, he can't help but be humble.

Yuwen on the side stood quietly, looking at Xuanzang and the merchants, but he only smiled faintly, as if he hadn't heard anything.

As if to relieve the doubts in the mind of the merchants, Xuanzang waved his hand and ordered Yuwen to go to the clean room to bathe in preparation for shaving, but he led the merchants to sit down on the futon.

Looking at Shang Shang's eyes with doubts, Xuanzang couldn't help but chuckle.

"Is the layman a little puzzled, why would the old man shave the title of this Yuwen benefactor?"

"Exactly, I wonder if the master can easily solve the confusion in the mind of the businessman?" Seeing that Xuanzang had the heart to explain, the businessmen were also good.

Moreover, she is indeed a little curious, why did Yuwen fall into Xuanzang's eyes?

"Yuwen Shi Zhu has come to the temple many times ago to discuss Buddhism with Lao Gao, and there is a lot of wisdom in the conversation, about the rebellion case, Lao Gao is inconvenient to beak, but Yuwen is indeed related to the Buddha, and I hope that the layman can reconcile one or two from it, so as not to let Lao Gao, a closed disciple, accept the rights and wrongs of the official."

Xuanzang spoke freely, but the businessmen couldn't hear it. It turns out that this master is still calculating! No wonder she was called to the ceremony!

"Master! You've got a good idea! Seeing Xuanzang's somewhat cunning appearance, Shang Shang couldn't help laughing.

"Amitabha! The layman praised it! Xuanzang's serious namaste made the businessmen laugh even more.

"Master! The apprentice's bath is finished, please ask the master to shave the apprentice's degree! Outside the door, Yuwen stood respectfully with his hands down, and his white monk's robe, which had been washed cleanly, was as white as a gardenia under the moon.

"Hmmm! Come on in! Looking at this handsome apprentice, Xuanzang nodded with satisfaction.

Shang Shang hurriedly stood up from the futon and looked at Yuwen, who walked in with his hands folded.

At this time, Yuwen lowered his eyebrows, calm and natural, as if everything in front of him was just empty, such an empty expression made Shang Shang a little frightened, but Xuanzang, who was looking at him, couldn't help but nod secretly.

led Yuwen to stand in front of the Buddha shrine, led by Xuanzang, and the two walked together for the bowing ceremony, and then stood up.

Xuanzang stood on Yuwen's side, reciting the long scriptures in a low voice, while Yuwen knelt quietly on the futon, listened quietly with his hands folded, and answered loudly from time to time.

The businessmen who stood aside and watched this simple ceremony quietly felt a trace of desolation.

Yuwen's former appearance was like a silent painting scroll, so clear and so profound imprinted on her heart, until this time she still remembered what kind of light aura the man lying in white clothes with blood stains had. It's like a gardenia that will never wither, forever exuding a distant fragrance that makes people nostalgic.

However, now he wants to stay away from this ten zhang red dust, be a monk who practices hard, and be accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, looking for happiness in the next life, which is ...... Could it be her fault?

The sharp ring knife in Xuanzang's hand flickered in the sunlight outside the window, and the hair on Yuwen's head had been completely untied, and the black hair seemed to be a black tide pouring down, as if it was about to rush to the ground.

"Wait!" Almost subconsciously, Shang Shang let out a low cry from his mouth.

The ring knife in Xuanzang's hand paused, but Yuwen, who was kneeling, did not move at all.

"Yuwen! You...... Do you really want to shave? Shang Shang's voice was weak and hesitant, as if he was expecting Yuwen's answer.

It seems that a long time has passed, just when Xuanzang thought that Yuwen would not answer, and Shangshang thought that Yuwen did not want to answer, a faint male voice suddenly remembered in the hut.

"Since the layman came to watch the ceremony, the little monk was grateful, and asked the master to shave Yuwen!"

Xuanzang's hand holding the ring knife fell lightly on Yuwen's head, and a strand of black hair gently floated to the ground within the sight of the merchant, splashing the black tide on the ground.

Yuwen knelt quietly in place, as if the hair that fell to the ground had nothing to do with him, looking at such an indifferent Yuwen, Shang Shang suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Some opportunities may be destined to be missed, some people may be destined to give up, but some things can never be regarded as if they never happened, in this life, she owes Yuwen!

The chanting of the scriptures sounded again, Xuanzang put away the ring knife, and the hair fell on the ground as if it was a piercing wound on the heart of the merchant, Yuwen still knelt quietly in place, waiting for the final end.

"Now that you have entered the Buddha's door, you need to know that everything is empty, and then you will be called Lingyan, and then you will practice as a teacher. Amitabha! Good, good, good! ”

Xuanzang bowed together and knelt down on the futon again, and Yuwen, who had been renamed Lingyan, bowed three times to the Buddha shrine with Xuanzang, and the master and apprentice stood up again.

It was only at this time that Ling Yan raised his eyes, and looked at Shang Shang's gaze calmly and gently, as if the person in front of him was just an ordinary stranger, without sorrow or joy.

Shang Shang looked at Lingyan in front of him silently, and after a long time, he smiled, stepped forward, and gently pinned the gardenia that he had pinched in his hand for a long time in front of Lingyan's placket.

"Borrow flowers and offer Buddha! I hope the master will not be surprised! ”

"Amitabha! Gifted by the layman, the little monk did not dare to resign! Lingyan smiled faintly, and gently stretched out her finger to touch the petals, as if she cherished it very much.

Until he left the Temple of Mercy and Grace, there was still some unspeakable astringency in the hearts of the merchants.

Maybe it's because she's vulgar, she never thinks that being a monk will be the only best choice, but this is his choice, she can't respond and can only respect!

The sun is still shining outside the Temple of Mercy and Grace! Li Mo is still waiting for her at home!

Some people may have to give up, but some people are reluctant to miss it! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
