Chapter 2: Introduction (II)

The old man looked at Manyi and smiled: "That's it." Girl, it's the old man who embarrassed you. You don't have to hear or remember, just let it be. You can come to the temple at any time to find the old man, remember, the old man is called empty words. The old man smiled kindly, coughed, and the monk before took an incense burner, a light incense, Manyi was dumbfounded, watching the monk take away the tea set, without saying a word.

The old man put away the bamboo tube and ancient money, stood up slowly, and arched his hand to Manyi: "Girl, now that the old man has said so much, there will be a period in the future." Went first. Without waiting for her to answer, he went straight to the atrium and walked out of the temple gate. After a while, the smell of burning incense seemed to recall her lost soul, and she remembered that she had something to ask, and when she chased out of the temple gate, the old man was gone.

What does the empty words mean, and when will we see each other again? Manyi thought. Back in the temple, the futon and incense burner under the porch were gone, so they should have been taken away by the monks. I wanted to go to the monk and ask, but I didn't know what to ask for a while, and my heart was empty. So she went home in a daze, threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.

-----------------------------

Where is this? There was a thick fog all around, and within ten paces, there was nothing, and ten paces away, nothing could be seen clearly. Manyi took a few steps forward, and saw the courtyard of an old house in front of her, and when she tried to move forward, the air was dense and sticky, and she felt that her whole body was stuck in a spider's web, and she couldn't move forward half a step. When I was in a hurry and wondered, someone came.

"Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu!" A woman's voice came from outside, she turned around and looked at the courtyard gate, and a woman in ancient costume ran in and shouted next to Manyi, "Ah Xiu, Baba has been locked up by the marshal!" The young woman who was called Ah Xiu, with her back to Manyi, was weaving cloth on the ancient loom in the TV series, and now she stopped and turned to the woman and asked, "What is it again?" Didn't he talk about it in front of people a few days ago, like his son-in-law? ”

Manyi was confused when she heard it: Is this a TV series or a dream? Why is it so weird? I wanted to open my mouth but couldn't make a sound, so I had to continue watching. The woman said, "It was fine before noon, but after lunch, two centurions came, and after a cup of tea, the marshal sent men to arrest and lock them up." The woman thought for a moment, and then said, "The marshal has commanded that he should not be fed, so that he may starve him for a few days, lest he forget who he is." ”

"It can be seen that it was provoked!" As she spoke, the young woman took her hand and went out. Manyi saw the scene, wanted to open her mouth but still couldn't make a sound, seeing that the two were about to walk out of the door, but saw the young woman come back reflexively, as if she had forgotten something, Manyi just looked at her face, and she was exactly the same as herself!

-----------------------------

"Ahh Manyi woke up from her dream in a cold sweat, was stunned for a moment, and her first reaction was to rush to find a mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, and remembered what the old man said, and her heart was as uncomfortable as a mess. She put down the mirror: it seems that what she saw in her dream may be her past life, but what should I do? Learning the plot of a TV series and being hit by a car? Struck by lightning?! She shook her head like crazy, what a mess! Remembering that he said that he could go to him at any time, Manyi decided to talk to him again.

It was a cool morning, the night before, and the air was filled with the scent of moist earth. Manyi's feelings couldn't help but settle down a little. When I arrived at the temple gate, I saw a figure with a bent back in the distance, it was empty words! "Uncle!" Manyi's eyes lit up, and she ran forward with a crisp greeting: "Uncle morning!" Manyi has something to ask the uncle! ”

Kong Yanzi looked at Manyi with a smile, bowed with his right hand, then nodded, motioned for her to follow, and turned to leave. She followed, and followed behind the empty words. The two went around to the west side of the temple gate, there was a corner door, empty words pushed the door in, and when Manyi came in, he tied the door, and took her to the eaves of the porch where he drank tea last time.

As last time, he took two futons, and the old man sat down on the threshold of the main hall this time, and Manyi guessed that the old man saw that it was raining, and he was afraid that the two of them would be cold, so he sat down with him. Empty words smiled and opened his mouth first: "Dreaming? Manyi nodded a little shyly: "Well, so I want to ask carefully." ”

Kong Yanzi nodded: "Presumably the girl saw a woman with the same appearance as herself in her dream?" "God! This can also be guessed?! Manyi couldn't help but sigh. Kong Yanzi stroked his long beard: "I don't know what the girl wants to ask?" She scratched her head and thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know how to speak. After a while, he straightened out his thoughts and asked, "That Ah Xiu, is that me?" Who is that Eighty-Eight? Who is the marshal? How to get back? ”

The old man smiled, didn't answer in a hurry, and only opened his mouth to the other side of the courtyard: "Is it Wuxin?" Manyi turned his head to see that it was the young monk who had come out of the opposite porch door, and when he heard the shout, he bowed from afar. The monk walked to the side hall: "Two mornings," and said to the empty air, "Do the seniors need anything?" ”

"If you're hungry, bring some refreshments, and the old man will bring someone to rub your fruit to eat!" Kong Yanzi replied with a laugh, and his tone was quite naughty. Seeing Wuxin smiling and nodding to go, he asked again, "What about your master?" Do you know I'm coming? "The master was supposed to come back today, but he arrived last night, and now he is in the back hall, do you want to take you there?" Goshin replied politely.

Kong Yanzi was very satisfied, turned his head to look at Manyi, stood up and brushed the robe on his body, "Let's go, girl, talk to the old monk, he knows your affairs better than me." Manyi nodded excitedly and followed Wuxin and Kongyanzi to the backyard. After passing through several floors of the courtyard and arriving at a big house, Wuxin reported to the house: "Master, the seniors of Kongyanzi are here." Hearing the answer from inside, Wuxin saluted the two: "Seniors and donors, please come in." Kong Yanzi replied naughtily: "Don't forget to give us fruit to eat, the old man can't forget to eat!" ”

Wuxin smiled and agreed, and exited the yard to prepare. Kong Yanzi turned around: "Go in with the old man." After saying that, he went into the room first. She followed up, a faint smell of fragrant ash entered her nose, and her mood was a little quieter. There were several Zen characters hanging on the wall, and Manyi was looking around, and an old monk came out of the inner room. Kong Yanzi quipped: "You don't have any valuable objects, what are you busy doing?" Poor and white, are you afraid that we will not be able to carry away any treasures? ”

The old monk shook his head with a smile: "The poor monk can't afford your pastime!" Seeing Manyi, he asked, "This girl is Ah Xiu's present life?" Manyi was about to reply, but was stopped by him: "Don't worry, wait for the poor monk's apprentice to bring the fruit, lest this old naughty boy say that the poor monk neglects the distinguished guests." ”

After a while, Wuxin brought tea and food, and the old monk ordered him to retreat outside the courtyard to guard. Manyi realized that this was because he was afraid that the wall would have ears. When Wuxin went, the old monk got up and saluted: "Grandmother Axiu, the unfilial grandson Zhu Yunwen is reincarnated as a substitute, and I salute you!" ”

Zhu Yunwen! What a familiar name, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Man Yi thundered like thunder, this old monk called himself the reincarnation stand-in of Zhu Yunwen, and called himself Axiu's grandmother? She felt that her brain obviously couldn't turn: Zhu Yunwen is Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, he calls his grandmother, then he is Zhu Yuanzhang's wife?! No wonder the empty words and the woman in the dream both mentioned Baba, so isn't Zhu Yuanzhang's original name Zhu Baba!

Seeing Manyi open her mouth and stammer, her pupils opened, and her breathing stopped, Kong Yanzi knew that she was frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Bah! Girl! Come back to your senses! As if someone had suddenly pushed her, Manyi finally came back to her senses. The eyes are back in focus, but the brain is still a mess. The old monk looked ashamed, knowing that he was abrupt, and then asked Kong Yanzi suspiciously: "Haven't you explained it to her yet?" Kong Yanzi glared at Miao Zhen, poured a cup of tea for Manyi and handed it to his hand, pressed it on Manyi's shoulder as if he was concentrated, and then turned his face and scolded: "Old bald donkey! The old man and the girl are only meeting for the second time today, and I want to talk to you about it. I don't know how old you are, and you're still so reckless. ”

After some reprimand, Miao Zhen's face was red with shame, and when he saw that Manyi's expression had changed a little more, and his surprise was still there, he said kindly: "Ah Xiuzu...... Girl, are you alright? The poor monk is abrupt, and the ancestor ...... Girl, don't blame! Manyi listened to him apologize, and saw that he looked so uncomfortable, like a child who made a mistake, and replied: "Don't be so polite, uncle, it's just that the old man suddenly saluted me as Zhu Yunwen just now, also known as my grandmother, it's just a little difficult to accept." Don't worry about it. ”

After hearing this, the monk asked the old man: "This girl really speaks like an ancient person, do you talk to her like this?" Kong Yanzi shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "Didn't you see our two old things talking sourly, so she was tired of talking hard?!" The monk nodded very happily: "In this way, it is also a good thing, I was afraid that she would not be able to speak and reveal flaws when she went back." Hehe! Kong Yanzi echoed: "The girl has a lot of wisdom, otherwise she would have been damaged by you so frightened." With such a heart, I believe that after I go back, there will be no obstacles. ”

Manyi looked at the two of them and asked and answered, feeling even more confused: "Can you explain it more clearly?" Miao Zhen just wanted to answer, but remembering his rude just now, he couldn't help but look at Kong Yanzi, and saw Kong Yanzi nodding at him, before replying: "The girl's other self is in Anhui at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, called Liu Axiu, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Queen Ma." She was so shocked that she opened her mouth and asked unrelentingly: "In other words, I have to become that Ma Xiuying?" Is that your grandmother from a previous life? ”

Miao Zhen nodded: "Exactly." ”
