"That's right," Xiangyu took a sip of tea, and after putting the teacup on the table, he suddenly remembered something, "Tomorrow you will go to Lingyun Temple with me." ”

During the month of the province, according to the etiquette system, the unmarried men and women of Yin'an need to go to the temple to pray for blessings, and eat fasting and listen to Zen for a day, which is regarded as a pure heart before the wedding, and can be harmonious and happy after marriage, which is called "fasting ceremony".

"Yes. Hanyu's response was no longer full of surprise, revealing a trace of loneliness.

When night fell, before Xiangyu went to bed, he asked the raccoon slave about the preparations for going to Lingyun Temple tomorrow, and the tanuki said that everything was ready.

"Childe, do you want to bring the moon fence?" asked the tanuki.

Xiangyu's expression was slightly sluggish, and he said, "No need." ”

As a result, on the second day, Moon Fence came uninvited.

A long queue of luxury carriages was already in front of the gate of Xiangfu, ready to go, Xiangyu and Hanyu just stepped out of the gate, they saw a red-shirted Yueli standing in front of the black Nanmu carriage, smiling brightly at him.

Xiangyu frowned: "You can't go." ”

"Why?" Moon Fence approached, her eyes flashing with a clever and cunning light, and there was a hint of deception.

"If I didn't let you go, you couldn't go. So saying, he entered the carriage under the service of the tanuki slaves.

The carriage departed in procession, and at the front were two maidservants standing side by side, each carrying a white-skinned jujube-shaped lamp, and behind the carriage were two long columns of guards in iron armor, each with a sheathed sword at his side.

This is the standard of Xiangyu travel, all the way through the city, pedestrians on both sides of the road consciously and respectfully give way, lest they get in the way.

"The old patriarch Luan's bones are not cold, and the jade prince is so ostentatious and luxurious, so he is not afraid of the hearts of the clans that are attached to his Xiang clan?" leaning on the window on the second floor of the Rongxiang Restaurant, a young man dressed as a noble son shook his head and wondered.

A young man wearing a curved mercury silk embroidered dark blue brocade robe slowly appeared beside him, it was Xun Guangyan, the young son of the Xun clan, who looked at the queue of Xiangfu carriages on the road with great momentum, and was silent and did not speak.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his calm eyes, and he saw that a foot away from the queue, a red shadow was rapidly shuttling through the surging crowd, and the direction of travel was exactly the same as that of the Xiangfu carriage.

"That is the Jade Prince's sacrificial Moon Fence?" said the young nobleman beside him excitedly.

Xun Guangyan stared at the fast-moving red shadow and replied, "Yes." ”

"Why did she go alone when she didn't follow the carriage?" asked the young man again.

Watching the carriage and the moon fence go farther and farther, Xun Guangyan fell into thought, and a childish baby face showed a little calmness.

*

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the place of the high temple towering into the clouds, majestic and solemn, solemn and solemn, the two willow trees at the door swing their tails, adding a bit of delicate poetry.

In the temple, carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves into the sky, several big open halls in front of the hall, respectively enshrine the statues of each god, the incense in front of the colossal statue is continuous, the smoke is swirling, such as the nine days of illusion.

Xiangyu with Hanyu walked in a hall, there was already an elderly monk in costume waiting at the door, the monk in Yin'an is still under the jurisdiction of Yin'an etiquette, it is that the old monk is still bowing to Xiangyu.

Xiang Yuxu helped him up and said, "There is Master Lao today." ”

The old monk humbly bowed his head and said: "Amitabha, the old man doesn't dare to be, Lingyun Temple is fortunate to welcome the Jade Prince, which is the blessing of the temple." ”

The old monk looked at Han Yu again at this time, clasped his palms and asked, "This is Miss Han Er, right?"

"Yes, Master. Hanyu said with a smile.

The old monk nodded, and said respectfully to the two: "The two of you are now in the Yue Province period, that is, you are going to perform a one-day fasting ceremony, please come with me." ”

The first part of fasting is to pray for blessings.

Both men and women kneel in front of the statue of the god in front of the temple, and follow the monks to recite a prayer for blessing together, and after completion, the blessing ceremony is completed.

The recent statue of Xiangyu is particularly familiar, it is the ancestor of his Xiang clan, Cangjie who subverted the fate of people and ghosts by creating words for mankind.

Human beings have been blessed in the world because of Cangjie, and they are naturally regarded as the blessed gods of human beings.

Pray for blessings, pray for blessings, and pray for blessings to come to Cangjie, the god of blessing.

Xiangyu and Hanyu reverently knelt on the futon in front of them, folded their hands, and began to recite the scriptures with the old monk.

In front of the closed vermilion gate outside the temple, the queue of black nanmu carriages in Xiangfu stood quietly, and the raccoon slaves led the guards and maidservants, as well as Wu You, who drove the carriage, waited outside, not wanting to disturb the purity of the temple.

Another carriage came slowly from the trail not far away, the carriage was luxurious, and on one side of the carriage was followed by several maidservants and servants dressed up by nobles.

When the coachman saw the battle in front of the temple, he hurriedly let out a long cry and stopped the carriage, and he approached the curtain in front of the carriage, and said something to the people inside, and the curtain was immediately opened.

A woman in a light brocade dress with a golden hairpin inlaid with a treasure Buddha appeared behind the curtain, her eyebrows were cold, her eyes looked indifferently at the large group of people in front of her, and after staying for a while, she put down the curtain and said slowly: "Since the son is here, we will come back another day." ”

"Why don't you leave?" A sound of horses' hooves came from behind the carriage, and Luo Yuan, who was tall and vigorous, was dressed in white and rode a horse.

He grabbed the reins of the horse, looked at the Xiangfu carriage and horses parked in front of him, and smiled: "Gongzi usually doesn't come here, I think it's for the fasting ceremony of the month province." ”

He stepped off the horse, threw the reins to the little servant on the side, walked to the carriage, and said with a smile: "Mother, since you have chosen to do things today, you will do it today, and I am afraid that I will not have time to accompany you another day, and the eldest brother and second brother will not be free." ”

The woman in the carriage was Wei Weichen, the biological mother of the third son of the Luo family, she listened to Luo Yuanzhi's words, lifted the curtain again, and said with some hesitation: "But the son is ...... today."

Luo Yuanzhi shook his hand, and said indifferently: "Gongzi has always been close to us, so we don't care, and besides, this temple is only forbidden to those civilians today, but it doesn't mean that the clan can't enter." ”

Wei thought about it and felt justified, so he nodded to him.

Luo Yuanzhi took out the peach blossom fan from his chest, unfolded it in a chic and graceful manner, and strode towards the gate of the temple while fanning the wind.

As Luo Yuanzhi said, the raccoon slaves guarding the door did not need to report Xiangyu, so they were directly released.

Luofu's carriage stopped next to Xiangfu's carriage, Luo Yuanzhi personally welcomed Wei out of the carriage, and the mother and son also left the maidservant and the little maid outside, and the two entered the temple.

At the back of their carriage, Yue Liang was quietly watching this scene, she hooked her lips and smiled, and said to herself: "I didn't expect it to be so lively today, Xiang Clan, Han Clan, Luo Clan," she rolled her gaze, and her mouth spat slightly, "And ...... The Yan clan and the Sheng clan are all here. ”
