Chapter 22 The Strange Romance of the Mountain Temple

The carriage continued to jolt and stagger, and finally arrived at Tsz Shan Temple.

Zhao Lingshu and Mrs. Zhao got out of the carriage with the support of the maid and walked into Tsz Shan Temple together. As soon as he entered the temple, the abbot came up with a group of monks.

"Amitabha, good, good." The abbot bowed over Zhao Lingshu and Mrs. Zhao with his palms together.

"The abbot is polite." Mrs. Zhao also bent down to the abbot and clasped her hands.

Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Lingshu wanted to go to the main hall of the temple to offer incense, and the abbot led them to the direction of the main hall.

Originally, there were many pilgrims in the temple, but now they have gradually dispersed. The mountain is full of smoke, and people come and go down the mountain. Outside the hall stands a huge tripod, filled with fine sand, which has been densely inserted by pilgrims for many years with Buddha incense.

The monk who struck the bell lifted the wood and put it down again, and a long and thick bell rang through the mountain temple. The secluded mountains were immediately startled by countless birds chirping and flying away.

The door of the temple was pushed open, and a "squeak" sounded.

The Buddha lamp is swaying, the huge Buddha statue in the hall is sitting or lying, the expression is peaceful and peaceful, the eyes are desireless, it is like a dream, like a pool of lake without ripples, but it is still crystal clear. The smoke curls, and the incense candles offered by the believers are placed in the incense burner, and the red incense candles reflect the golden body of the Buddha, like the most perfect faith. The pilgrims bow deeply, and their faith is endless, and their fate is endless.

But Zhao Lingshu did not feel the boundless sea of Buddha at all. All she saw was a clay statue of a Buddha with a golden body. How can we meet the wishes of the world?

The abbot took the Buddha incense and distributed it to Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Lingshu, and Mrs. Zhao slowly knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue after lighting the incense candles, clasped her hands together, and looked pious. Zhao Lingshu also knelt down, but his face was expressionless.

Mrs. Zhao prayed to the Buddha for peace and tranquility for her son, not to make many great achievements, but to come back safely; Sun Tzu's career does not seek to be exciting, but only to be stable; The granddaughter can grow up happily and find a good home for her to feel happy.

Zhao Lingshu tilted his head to see Mrs. Zhao with her eyes closed, reciting the words, seriously believing that no matter what she said, as long as she was sincere, the Buddha would come true.

Zhao Lingshu turned his head to look at the Buddha statue in front of him, and also closed his eyes and palms seriously: "My Buddha is merciful, I believed in you in my previous life, and when I was desperate, I prayed more than once that you could save me and save the Zhao family from fire and water, but you didn't fulfill it once." Now let me live again, will this also be your compassion? If you are truly merciful, the Soul asks that I punish the traitor as soon as possible and take revenge. ”

When he opened his eyes, the Buddha was still smiling compassionately.

After the incense, Zhao Lingshu helped Mrs. Zhao to stand up. Mrs. Zhao said to Zhao Lingshu: "Lingshu, I want to give a lecture to the abbot in the main hall. You are a little girl, and you think it's boring and don't want to listen to it. Let's take the girls out for a walk. ”

Zhao Lingshu readily agreed.

Zhao Lingshu took Qing'er and Yun'er out of Ciyun Temple and wandered around the street next to the temple.

Qing'er and Yun'er are still children, and they usually don't have a chance to come out, but at this moment, they are like two countrymen who have never seen the world, and they feel new when they see anything. There are some things that I obviously want, but I ask, "Isn't it interesting for Miss to look at one?" Do you want to buy it and play with it? ”

Zhao Lingshu is also a conniving master, he saw through the careful thinking of the two but did not pierce it, and agreed with a smile. In this way, Zhao Lingshu suddenly had a lot of things in his arms, and he couldn't take anything he could eat and play.

Zhao Lingshu looked at those foods, he hadn't eaten them since he entered the palace in his previous life, and he was also nostalgic at this time. gave all the gadgets to Qing'er and Yun'er, leaving only food in their hands.

Qing'er and Yun'er were still very interested in the things on the street that they hadn't seen in the mansion, and Lingshu only followed behind them, keeping his head down and concentrating on eating, but he didn't expect to accidentally bump into someone without looking at the road in front of him, and he also crashed into someone's arms.

Zhao Lingshu was still biting a sugar gourd in his mouth, and when he lowered his head, he could only see a white corner of his clothes, embroidered with blue flowing cloud patterns.

"How long will the girl be held on the street?"

When Zhao Lingshu heard these words, he looked up in surprise and saw a young man's face. is obviously a teenager, but his eyebrows and eyes have a very mature outline. A pair of slender eyes are full of banter, and the ever-enlarged arc of the corners of the lips shows the good mood of the owner, but it is very indecent to pretend to be embarrassed to tilt his head.

Seeing that the young man had been staring at him so bluntly, Zhao Lingshu suddenly blushed, and only then did he realize that he was still in someone's arms.

"I'm sorry for this son, I didn't mean to."

Zhao Lingshu immediately pushed the boy away and apologized to the boy. After that, he didn't dare to look at the boy's reaction, so he turned around and ran away.

The young man stared at Zhao Lingshu's back as he fled, and thoughtfully tapped a fan on his hand. The little guy behind the boy stepped forward and whispered to the boy,

The boy was surprised and didn't say anything, just smiled and left.

Zhao Lingshu ran too fast, and Qing'er Yun'er, who was picking up jewelry at the jewelry stall behind him, took a long time to catch up.

"Miss! What happened? Why are you running so fast? Yun'er patted her chest and took a while to pant evenly.

Zhao Lingshu also felt funny when he heard it, didn't he accidentally bump into someone? Why do you do it like you've done something bad?

"Nothing. Let's go. Zhao Lingshu did not answer Yun'er's question.

Qing'er and Yun'er eased up, and then returned to their lively appearance. He also proposed, "Miss, let's go to the marriage tree over there and make a wish." I wish Miss to find a good husband as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Lingshu looked at the longing of the two little girls, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay."

Qing'er and Yun'er couldn't wait, and as soon as they heard that Zhao Lingshu had agreed, they immediately couldn't wait to run hand in hand to the marriage tree.

Zhao Lingshu looked at their little children's appearance and shook his head helplessly. But I didn't know that I was only 15 years old, shaking my head like a young adult.

All three of them came to the stall under the marriage tree, which had long been crowded by people seeking marriage.

Zhao Lingshu and the three of them finally squeezed in, and after paying the money, they asked the little novice on the side to hang paper and brushes.

Zhao Lingshu looked at the hanging paper and couldn't start writing for a long time. After experiencing her previous life, she doesn't have much desire for love now, what she wants to do most now is to take revenge.

But with this piece of paper, the feelings of the little daughter in Zhao Lingshu's heart revived again. In his previous life, he mistakenly believed in a traitor and met someone who was unladylike, but he could be reborn once and thoroughly understand the future situation, can he have the right to love and be loved again?

Zhao Lingshu's pen hung on the hanging paper, hesitated for a moment, the pen fell, inscribed a few lines of poetry on the hanging paper, and then threw the hanging paper onto the marriage tree.

"Miss, what did you write on it?" Seeing that Zhao Lingshu had already thrown the hanging paper to the tree, the maid Qing'er came over with a gossipy face and asked with a smile.

"I won't tell you." Zhao Lingshu also smiled and pinched Qing'er's fleshy face, and Qing'er immediately cried and begged for mercy.

"Miss, I was wrong, I won't ask." Zhao Lingshu let go of Qing'er's face, and Qing'er covered her little face with a look of grievance.

Zhao Lingshu turned his head and saw someone performing acrobatics not far away, and hurriedly changed the topic to coax her: "It's fun over there, let's go over there." ”

Qing'er was originally pouting and rubbing her face that had been pinched by her own young lady dissatisfied, but she was interrupted by Zhao Lingshu, and she also turned her head to look. was a child, and immediately ran to join in the fun with a smile.

As soon as Zhao Lingshu and the three of them left, the young man who had just bumped into Zhao Lingshu on the street came to the marriage tree.

The young man looked up at the densely hung papers on the trees, on which were the best wishes of ordinary men and women.

"I don't know how many people can make their dreams come true." The young man's casual face also carried a bit of yearning.

A gust of wind blew, and Zhao Lingshu's hanging paper was blown down by the wind because it was not firmly hung, and it happened to cover the young man's face.

The young man picked up the hanging paper and saw the poem inscribed on it: "May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night will be bright and clean." ”

See also the signature: "Zhao Lingshu." ”

The young man smiled unconsciously when he looked at the signature, and then he flew up the tree and hung the hanging paper at the highest place.

Xiao Qisheng, who came to the tree together, looked up and saw that the young man had gone up the tree, so he shouted: "Zhilian, why did you suddenly go up the tree?" A big husband actually peeked at other people's things, but it was really not authentic. ”

An Zhilian glanced at him, jumped down from the tree, and patted the dust and fallen leaves on his clothes: "Brother Xiao, what I peeked at here is not an ordinary thing. ”

Xiao Qisheng saw that he was not only not ashamed, but also justified, so he asked him funny: "Then what leakage did you see?" ”

An Zhilian didn't answer, and only gave Xiao Qisheng a look that could only be understood and not spoken.

Xiao Qisheng shook his head helplessly, and the two walked to Ci'an Temple together.

An Zhilian and Xiao Qisheng entered the main hall of Ci'an Temple, and the two knelt down on the futon together to worship the Buddha and incense.

Zhao Lingshu took a reed flower picked by Qing'er from the river, lowered his head and smelled it, there was a unique fragrance of aquatic plants. Zhao Lingshu suddenly played with his heart, took a sharp breath, puffed out his big cheeks, and blew hard, and the white reed flowers floated up to the sky along the wind, facing the golden sunshine, printed in the blue sky, beautiful like a painting.

Zhao Lingshu squinted at this beautiful moment, but he was in a good mood.

She looked down and saw a pleasure boat coming from the other side of the river, and the sound of men and women frolicking happily could be heard from the boat.

"Brother Xiao, look at how beautiful the scenery is over there."

"It's really pleasing to the eye."

Zhao Lingshu, who was still enjoying the scenery by the river, suddenly heard a familiar voice.

It's Xiao Qiming and Chu Lanxi.

Zhao Lingshu didn't want to see these two people. Next to it is the important place of Buddhism, these two people in the past and present lives have the blood of countless people on their hands, how can they still have the face to come here?

Zhao Lingshu turned around directly and wanted to leave.

But as soon as Zhao Lingshu walked to the bridge, Chu Lanxi and Xiao Qiming's cruise ship docked. Chu Lanxi saw Zhao Lingshu at a glance, and when she saw that she was leaving, he hurriedly stopped her: "Sister Lingshu!" ”

Zhao Lingshu wanted to pretend not to hear and continue to leave, but Chu Lanxi raised her voice again and continued to call her: "Sister Lingshu!" Wait for me! ”

Chu Lanxi's voice was too loud, and the entire people on the bridge were looking at her, so she couldn't pretend not to hear it.

Zhao Lingshu had no choice but to put on a surprised smile and turned around: "It's Sister Lanxi and His Royal Highness!" Why do you and the Third Highness have time to come here today? ”

Xiao Qiming glanced at Chu Lanxi, and Chu Lanxi understood. She greeted him with a smile and grabbed Zhao Lingshu's arm intimately: "It has only been long since I got married to His Royal Highness, and the queen mother took pity on our little husband and wife, and asked the emperor to assign him less official duties, and he was exempted from asking for peace every day." Although Chu Lanxi was hypocritical, the smug smile on his face was indeed sincere.

Zhao Lingshu listened to it, and sneered in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure on the surface.

She pretended to be angry and broke away from Chu Lanxi's shoulder, and turned around angrily: "My sister is very busy now, so naturally she doesn't look down on me as a sister." Do you calculate, since my sister got married, haven't you ever come to the corpse again? The corpse can only stay in the mansion every day, so it's not boring. ”
