Chapter Twenty-Three: See You After a Long Farewell
*Yuqingguan*
In the blink of an eye, Li Yuwei had been at the Taoist temple for three days, and because the Xuanyazi Taoist was in retreat and cultivating, he couldn't see him. And all her affairs in Yuqingguan are handled by Xuan Hongzi, the junior brother of Xuan Yazi Daoist.
After lunch today, he appeared in the small courtyard where Li Yuwei temporarily lived, and he saluted: "How is the donor living here?" ”
Li Yuwei smiled lightly: "It's very comfortable." The view is quiet, the scenery is unique, and it is very pleasant. The Taoist chief is also very thoughtful. "It's just so thoughtful! I asked her if she was dissatisfied with anything about her three meals a day, for fear that she would be uncomfortable.
"That's very good. The senior brother has been in retreat since receiving the letter from the alliance leader, and before the retreat, he repeatedly told Poor Dao to take good care of Li Shizhu, and Poor Dao naturally did not dare to slack off. Xuan Hongzi's whole face was full of smiles, Li Yuwei didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable when she saw this smile.
She endured the discomfort in her heart, barely pulled out a smile, and said, "The Taoist chief really has a heart." I see that the incense in this view is continuous, very vigorous, and the Taoist chief is very busy, if there is something to directly order the little Taoist boy to come, it is the same. ”
But that Xuan Hongzi moved Xuan Yazi out and said, "Don't dare, the senior brother ordered to do everything to Master Li, and the poor Dao must do everything himself." ”
When Li Yuwei saw him say this, she couldn't excuse herself, and said, "Then there will be a labor chief." ”
"It's an honor."
At this time, the bell rang, and Xuan Hongzi said: "If the donor has nothing to do, then the poor road will go first, and there is still merit to be done." ”
Li Yuwei replied: "The road is easy to go." Then make a color to the autumn rain on the side, and let the autumn rain send him out.
Qiu Xue muttered in Li Yuwei's ear: "Miss! How can this Taoist leader not go away! Wander around in front of your eyes all day long! ”
Li Yuwei smiled and said, "It's okay, this is someone's Taoist temple, where can he go?" ”
Qiu Xue pouted and said, "This is too diligent!" Wouldn't it be to curry favor in front of the master? ”
"The monks are all pure-hearted, so how can they care about these things outside the body?" Li Yuwei obviously didn't believe it, so she just said nonsense as Qiuxue.
Qiu Xue said: "Miss, this Yuqingguan is built by the master, and the master offers incense money here every year." It is no exaggeration to say that almost all of these Taoist leaders are raised by their masters. ”
What does Du Yixuan do for them? Li Yuwei raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you know this?" ”
"I just heard about it when I was chatting in the alliance before, but the Great Elder still blew his beard and glared at his master because of this!"
Hearing this, Li Yuwei's heart was completely occupied by another doubt, didn't Du Yixuan say anything in that Tiansha Alliance? And a so-called Great Elder who tied his hands and feet?
She asked, "Who is that Great Elder?" ”
Qiu Xue replied, "Actually, I haven't met the Great Elder a few times, but the sisters in the alliance all say that he is quite fierce. ”
Li Yuwei also stopped thinking about asking again, wait for a chance to ask about Qiu Yu, Qiu Xue and Qiu Yu must not be half a star apart, but she also likes Qiu Xue's temperament, otherwise she would not have put her by her side these days.
After that Xuan Hongzi came out of the courtyard where Li Yuwei lived, he walked through the verandah and was about to go to the Three Holy Palace to make merits, but when he met a person on the way, he stopped and saluted: "It turned out to be Gu Shizhu." ”
Gu Che stood there in a moon-white robe, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing Xuan Hongzi, he leaned over and said, "Dao Chief, I have something to ask for." ”
Xuan Hongzi knew that although this Gu benefactor was not personally ordered by the Tiansha Alliance, Chen Yonggui also had an explanation when he sent him, and Xiao Chen Shizhu belonged to the person who gave the senior brother a headache, and Xuan Hongzi naturally would not send it to the door to find trouble.
Therefore, he was also polite to this Gu benefactor. Xuan Hongzi said: "Although the donor speaks, he will never shirk what the poor Dao can do. ”
Gu Che took out a sachet from his arms and said, "Can you give this to the person who lives in the courtyard?" ”
When Chen Yonggui sent him here, he told Gu Che that Li Yuwei was also in Yuqingguan, Gu Che had been looking for an opportunity to recognize Li Yuwei in the past two days, but he was worried that according to Li Yuwei's temperament, he would not be so easy to recognize himself.
This sachet was embroidered by Li Yuwei for Gu Che, and it contained the peace and blessing that Li Yuwei brought from childhood to adulthood.
Just use this sachet to test Li Yuwei's attitude. But he didn't dare to go over by himself, not to mention that the people in the Tiansha Alliance in that courtyard were all masters, and even the two little maids beside Li Yuwei were all practitioners. If you don't put your mind down, you will startle the snake.
Xuan Hongzi took the sachet and saw that there were some threads on the sachet and the color was a little light, so he knew that this sachet must have been rubbed in his hand from time to time. He responded: "This is easy to do, at dinner, let the Taoist boy send the food over together." ”
Gu Che bowed his head and shook again, his voice was a little brisk, "Thank you so much." ”
Xuan Hongzi made a gesture of "please" and said to Gu Che: "Poor Dao is about to go to the Three Holy Palace to make merits, can Gu Shizhu be interested in going together?" ”
Gu Che said: "The bloody qi on my body is too heavy, so as not to pollute the holy land of Taoism." ”
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." Xuan Hongzi persuaded: "By making merits, the donor can not only resolve the resentment in his heart, but also accumulate the merits of this life, so why not." ”
After Xuan Hongzi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Che to agree and left directly, Gu Che didn't speak again, just took a deep look at a certain place, and then went to the Three Holy Palace.
As the sun sets, the entire Yuqing Palace is more quiet under the backdrop of the sunset, and the bells that come out from time to time echo in the ears for a long time, destroying the quiet and beautiful life.
The Taoist children carried food boxes into Li Yuwei's courtyard, and one of the Taoist children led by them said to Qiu Yu: "This donor, someone sent this thing to the poor Dao, and I bother you to hand it to the Li Shi. And said that if Li Shizhu wants to see the ancients, he will go to the pavilion in the back mountain tomorrow. ”
Qiu Yu responded, so he immediately took the sachet in and handed it to Li Yuwei, "Miss, a little Taoist boy asked me to give it to you." Later, he passed on what Xiao Daotong said to Li Yuwei.
Li Yuwei took the sachet tremblingly, it was not that she didn't know it, on the contrary, she recognized it at first sight, this was made by her own hands for Gu Che and given to him before he set out on the expedition.
Now that the sachet has appeared, is her hunch true? Scenes from the past resurfaced in front of her eyes......
"Ah Che, I embroidered this and gave it to you." Li Yuwei didn't finish speaking, but her pretty face turned red most of the time.
Gu Che was in a surprisingly good mood when he saw this scene, he laughed, and when he saw Li Yuwei, he couldn't wait to bury his head on the ground, he put down the helmet he was holding in his hand, hugged Li Yuwei into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Wait for me to come back." ”
Then he picked up the helmet again, smiled brightly at Li Yuwei, and left without looking back. Li Yuwei's reluctance completely broke out after he left, her eyes were slightly red, tears swirled in her eyes, and then she was out of control.
Since a man should protect his family and defend the country, she will not make trouble for Gu Che, lest he be upset.
Qiu Yu's words brought Li Yuwei back to reality, "Miss, dinner is ready." ”
Li Yuwei's eyes returned to their previous clarity, and she said to Qiu Yu: "I don't want to eat now, I'm a little uncomfortable today, I want to rest." ”
"Okay, then I'll go fetch water and wait for you to wash." Qiu Yu estimated in her heart that it should be the so-called old lady who was disturbed and had no appetite to eat, but looking at Li Yuwei's way, this old man should be very important to her.
Qiu Yu kept waiting for Li Yuwei to go to dinner, and Qiu Xue asked while eating, "Miss, what's wrong?" Shall we let the doctor take a look? ”
"Probably not." Qiu Yu replied and continued to bow his head to eat.
But Qiu Xue chased after her, although she was eating, she kept thinking about what made Li Yuwei stop eating, Qiu Xue suddenly asked, "Could it be caused by that sachet?" ”
Qiu Yu glanced at her, fortunately, she wasn't stupid.
Qiu Xue thought that Qiu Yu looked at her eyes to tell herself that she had guessed wrong, and then fell into a tangle, and said to herself: "What is it?" ”
Qiu Yu chuckled in her heart, she didn't save this child!
