Chu Yu looked around, and the fog in the mountains had dissipated, revealing his original appearance. The bamboo forest is lush and green, and a gust of wind blows, making a rustling sound.

Under the movement of bamboo shadows, Chu Yu seemed to see several black figures flashing. By the time Chu Yu wanted to see it carefully, those black shadows had long since disappeared, and everything seemed to be her illusion.

She knew that there would be no peace today.

At this moment, Shuangqi and Ji Qing came from a distance, one after the other.

Seeing the crown prince, Shuangqi took the lead in saluting, "The slave maid sees His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Jin An." He immediately said in the direction of Chu Yu and the Seven Princes, "The Seventh Prince, the Seventh Princess." ”

Ji Qing on the side also bowed.

The prince bowed slightly.

Shuangqi looked at Chu Yu, Chu Yu understood, and walked to the side a few meters away from the Seven Princes and the Crown Prince.

Shuangqi stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Master, I have found an unknown force lurking nearby, those people are all black, and they can't see anything from their clothes. ”

Chu Yu nodded, "Well, I know, if anything happens later, you must do your best to protect my mother." ”

"Yes." , Frost Seven nodded.

At the same time, in the temple of Fanyin.

Incense is burning, and there is a rich aroma spreading in the hall, which makes people feel at ease.

"Amitabha, that's all for today's Buddha's path, let's disperse on your own." , the hidden master in a robe turned around, folded his hands, and said to everyone.

Without waiting for everyone to talk, Master Yin Ran left with a little monk who knocked on the wooden fish.

Everyone bowed reverently in the direction of Master Yinran's departure, their eyes full of respect.

"Master Yin still has important things to do, I can't solve them for you one by one, if you still have any doubts, you can come to the side hall with the old man, and Master Huijing will answer them for you." , a monk about forty or fifty years old held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, raised one hand, and said to everyone.

If Chu Yu and the Seven Princes were here, they would definitely recognize this person as the monk who led them to the side hall.

The queen mother in a golden dress got up with Zuo Qingqing's support.

"The queen mother, the sons are very puzzled by some of the Buddhist ways of Master Yinran, I wonder if the queen mother can explain a thing or two?" , Zuo Qingqing's eyes were like silk, and he hesitated.

The queen patted Zuo Qingqing's hand and smiled encouragingly, "You kid, it seems that you really listened carefully, but the queen mother and I are not a Buddhist, and I am afraid that I can't solve your problem, if you have doubts, it is best to ask Master Huijing." ”

Zuo Qingqing smiled and nodded, and said with a little regret, "Then do you want to go and see Master Huijing too, do you think Master Huijing can solve your doubts?" ”

The queen pondered for a while and said with a smile, "It's okay, it just so happens that I have a question that I have been wondering about for a long time." ”

"Okay, let's go together." , Zuo Qingqing took the opportunity to hold the hand of the queen's mother, and the latter did not reject it.

At the corner of Fanyin Temple, Song Qingyu slowly got up and was about to walk out of the main hall gate, but was stopped by Yun Guifei, "Second Lady Chu, please stay." ”

"What's the matter with Madame Yun?" , Song Qingyu paused and looked back.

"Second Lady Chu, has she understood Master Yinran's Buddhist way?" , Yun Guifei raised her eyebrows.

Song Qingyu smiled and shook her head, "I don't understand everything, there are still many doubts." ”

"Then why don't you come with me to visit Master Huijing?" , Yun Guifei took a few steps closer.

After Song Qingyu pondered for a moment, Luo Luo smiled generously, "It's okay, I also want to see what Master Huijing explained to me." ”

So, the two walked out of the main hall gate side by side.

At the same time, the queen mother and Zuo Qingqing happened to have just walked to the door, and they saw the two walking side by side not far in front of them.

"Qing'er, do you see that the two figures in front of you look very similar to Concubine Yun and Second Lady Chu?" , Looking at the two of them talking and laughing, a cold glint flashed in the queen's eyes.

Zuo Qingqing glanced forward and said with a smile, "Look at the clothes of that figure." ”

"This palace knew that Second Lady Chu was here today, but she didn't expect that this Concubine Yun Guifei would also come. If I knew that she was coming, I would join her. ", the queen smiled.

"The Eighth Prince is going to leave the palace and go to the border recently, maybe Concubine Yun wants to ask for peace for the Eighth Prince."

"Perhaps." , the queen smiled.

"Do you want your retainers to stop them?" , Zuo Qingqing said.

The queen mother shook her head, "No, don't bother the two of them, we will naturally meet when we get to the side hall." ”

"Yes." , Zuo Qingqing nodded sensibly.

The sun is shining, shining on people's faces, giving people the illusion that the years are quiet.

Listening to the rustling sound of the surrounding wind blowing through the bamboo leaves, the corners of Zuo Qingqing's mouth hooked up a cold smile.

The temple was some distance from the side hall, and they walked for half an hour to get there.

At the entrance of the side hall, several people finally met.

"Isn't this Sister Shen? When I went out, I heard the guard say that Sister Shen was also going out to Fanyin Temple, and I thought at that time that I should go out earlier, maybe I could meet Sister Shen. Yun Guifei's eyebrows were crooked, and she covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief to hide the smile at the corners of her mouth.

The queen mother was smiling, but if you look closely, you will find that there is actually no smile in her eyes, "That's a pity, if I knew that Sister Yun was also here today, then I would have to wait for whatever I said." ”

Song Qingyu ignored the smell of gunpowder in the conversation between the two, and just bowed in the direction of the queen mother and the crown princess Zuo Qingqing.

Looking at the second lady Chu with an elegant face in front of her, the queen mother smiled lightly: "Second Mrs. Chu, why are you alone?" Why don't you see Yu'er? ”

Song Qingyu smiled indulgently, and said casually, "Yu'er doesn't like this kind of occasion, maybe she is with her husband at this time." ”

"Oh, I see." , the queen nodded.

Song Qingyu smiled and nodded.

Below? I'm afraid she's going to slap herself in the mouth. A hint of pride flashed in Zuo Qingqing's eyes.

…

The door to the side hall was opened, and the house was in a mess, and there was no one inside.

A hint of surprise flashed in Master Xuankong's eyes, but when he saw the scattered candlesticks, the broken windows, and the broken roof, he realized it again.

He quietly glanced in the direction of Zuo Qingqing, and then put his hands together again, and looked at the people who were also stunned, "Amitabha, I'm sorry, the donors may have encountered thieves in the side hall, please move somewhere else." ”

A flash of hatred flashed in Zuo Qingqing's eyes, why!? Why aren't they there?

"In broad daylight, in front of the Buddha Hall, such a thing happened! I don't think God would have spared that thief if he had a spirit! A woman of about forty or fifty years of age who was dressed in extraordinary clothes said angrily.

"Amitabha, all the laws in the world have a place to go, and thieves are thieves, maybe they have their own difficulties, and there is no need to be harsh. The old man believed that one day he would be ashamed of his actions. Master Xuankong turned around and bowed in the direction of the big Buddha.

"Fortunately, Master Huijing has not yet arrived, otherwise I am afraid that Master Huijing will also suffer from this poisonous hand, Amitabha!" , Master Xuankong said lightly.

Everyone sighed, and they were glad that Master Huijing was not poisoned by thieves.

And Zuo Qingqing, the only one at the scene who knew the truth of the matter, had a very good complexion.

Master Xuankong led everyone to another side hall, where an old monk with a white beard was sitting on top of a round pu.

Just looking at its back makes people can't help but be respectful and solemn.

Master Xuankong took everyone to this side hall and left.

And Zuo Qingqing stood in the hall for a while, and then went out on the pretext that he was not feeling well.

………

A dark corner a few meters away from the hall.

A woman dressed in pink stands opposite a man in a robe.

"What's going on!?" , the woman scolded.

"I didn't know that I was knocked unconscious when I was doing all that. After I woke up, I happened to meet you at the end of listening to the Buddha's teachings, so I immediately packed up and brought you over, but I didn't expect it...", Master Xuankong frowned and recalled.

The woman in pink was very angry, but she also knew that it was useless to be angry at this time, but she still couldn't help but curse secretly: "Waste! ”

"Please calm your anger, Miss!" , Master Xuankong said weakly.

"How can I calm my anger when the time comes?" , the woman in pink opened her eyes angrily.

Master Xuankong comforted, "Miss, when they were in the side hall, I put a love incense in it, this love fragrance is extremely effective, as long as it is inhaled a little, it will be hit, and there is also a time lag, and my subordinates guess that they have been poisoned." ”

The woman in pink smiled, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes: "Good! Very good! You have done well, and the silver will not be less than you. ”

"Thank you, Miss." , Master Xuankong lowered his eyes, covering the excess emotions in his eyes.

The woman in pink nodded: "This is what you deserve, I'll go and see them, you pay attention not to let people find flaws." ”

Master Xuankong nodded, and watched the woman in pink leave, before slowly tearing open the human skin and mask on her face.

In the dark corner, a young man with a beautiful face stood for a long time.

I don't know how long it took for him to take off his clothes, and then he stacked the man's mask and the clothes he had taken off, and put them in a cloth bag that had been prepared in advance.

………

The sun had risen in mid-air, the sun was in full bloom, and Chu Yu was sitting at a stone table with the Seven Princes and the Crown Prince.

Next to this cobblestone table is a decades-old banyan tree that is lush and shades most of the sun. Occasionally, a few beams of light cast a few dappled shadows on the stone table through the leaves.

Shuang Qi went to track down the monk and hadn't come back yet, because only Ji Qing was standing behind Chu Yu, with his back to Chu Yu and the others, standing a few meters apart.

"It's not bad to sit here and enjoy the scenery in this kind of weather." , the Seven Princes said with a light smile.

Chu Yu also smiled, "It's indeed suitable." ”
