Volume 1 The Heart of a Young Man Chapter 32 Things in Dreams, Scenes in Reality
Everything in the dream was extremely real, and the blazing sensation brought by the fire made Li Xiao anxious. He wanted to block the heavy pillar that fell from the sky, and he also wanted to block the rockets that kept falling from the sky, but he could only stay where he was, unable to move half a step.
Countless rockets flew in front of him, the burning building collapsed in front of his eyes, dozens of people in front of him died one after another, he wanted to speak, but he was speechless for some reason, he wanted to do something, but he didn't know why he couldn't even reach out at this time.
At this moment, the scene in front of Li Xiao's eyes became more and more blurred, and gradually, he found that he was far away from that place, and at this moment he could only see a little starlight, and a meteor that pierced the sky.
……
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi ......"
The cry was soft, and there was a Buddhist whisper in it. Li Xiao woke up in the shaking, rubbed his somewhat numb head, and looked around. Now he is still in the room of Wan'an Temple, and he is still lying on the bed, but there are a few people standing next to the bed.
At this time, the room was very quiet, the little girl Chu Chu held her little hands, standing on the side with a worried face, in front of her, a little master of Wan'an Temple held a case of fasting rice, and glanced at Li Xiao from time to time. In front of the bed, Monk Pu Jing looked at Li Xiao, who had just woken up, with a kind face.
"Abbot, why are you here?" Li Xiao subconsciously blocked the dazzling sunlight and said to Pu Jing, who had just woken him up.
It was very uncomfortable to be watched, he didn't like this feeling very much, but from Chu Chu's worried expression and the dazzling sky outside, it could be seen that he should have slept for a long time, and the little girl was worried that something was wrong, so she called Pu Jing to come over and take a look.
Pu Jing squinted, with a smile on her face, and said: "This morning, Miss Chu Chu was in a hurry, saying that you were lying on the bed sweating profusely, and you kept saying something 'don't' or something, I was afraid that I was sick, and I wanted to find a doctor to take a look. But although Childe woke up, his face was still a little bad, was there anything uncomfortable? ”
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare, some haven't eased up, thank you Abbot for your concern." Li Xiao lowered his head and eased his still uncomfortable heart.
Indeed, although this dream is not the first time I have encountered it, and it can even be said to be a frequent visitor, every time, it is like a personal experience, extremely real, and extremely uncomfortable. He didn't know why this dream kept appearing, he had never seen such a scene since he was a carefree child, it should be the earliest memory of this body, but such a scene, why for so long, he had never heard of this place appearing.
"Amitabha, the so-called nightmare is just the last pear that annoys the son, and the son has his own natural appearance, and he will get rid of it as soon as possible." Pu Jing combined his hands, Buddha words and Buddha words.
A monk is really a monk, and he breaks off seven emotions and six desires. Li Xiao felt that these monks and masters who cut off the red dust were different from mortals like him, and their words were full of deep meaning, and their words were full of truth. Although he didn't know what a Rausch thing it was.
"If the son is fine, the old man will leave first, and the front yard still needs to be prepared." Pu Jing continued: "Presumably Gonggong Xu said last night that the Queen Mother will come to the temple after noon today to offer incense and pray for blessings, and if the son has nothing to do, he might as well rest in the backyard." ”
"What happened just now is troublesome to the abbot." Li Xiao got up and bowed to Pu Jing.
The Queen Mother is coming to incense, Xu Sheng has been informed yesterday. The emperor's biological mother, has always believed in Buddhism, and attaches great importance to those Buddhist etiquette, although Chu Chu and himself are living in this Wan'an Temple by His Majesty's will, and the monk Pujing does not care too much, but if the Queen Mother knows, he is fine, after all, he is a man, and he came to Beijing to do things for the royal family, but Chu Chu is different, the maid lives in the Buddhist temple with the master's family, what kind of system it becomes, and it is not a joke to pass it out.
When the time comes, the queen mother will be angry and send herself to the frontier, or some kind of punishment, wouldn't that be her own death? Of course, it is impossible to be idle in the backyard, and today will not be like that day, Chen Ziye will come to chat. It's better to escape and wander around before the queen dowager, and find the mansion you saw in your dreams by the way. Because this time at the end of the dream, he saw from a distance the three big characters on the city gate - Jingshi City.
"By the way, does the abbot know what happened in the city sixteen years ago?" Looking at Pu Jing, Li Xiao didn't know why he asked this.
"Sixteen years ago?" Pu Jing paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Lao Gu only came to Jingshi ten years ago, and I don't know much about the things sixteen years ago, so I don't know what Gongzi asked." ”
"It's the one that happened to the water in the mansion sixteen years ago." Li Xiao said embarrassedly that he took the matter of sixteen years ago to ask a person who only arrived in Beijing ten years ago, which was indeed a bit presumptuous: "I just dreamed of it in a dream, so I thought about asking, if the abbot doesn't know, forget it." ”
For this dream, Li Xiao has always had a hard time, and the reality it brings makes every time I dream of it, I feel like I have experienced it myself, but if I think about my past and present lives, I have never met it, could it be that I saw it in the TV series? Could it be the memories left by this body before it was parasitized by itself?
The blazing sky light slanted in, shining on the body a little lazy. The bells from the front yard rang again and again, and the frightened birds that had stopped on the branches chirped and flew away.
"Master, it's time to go." The little monk behind him whispered.
Pu Jing nodded, with a smile on her face: "If Childe wants to know, you might as well ask Lord Zuo Xiangyu, all these years, Lord Zuo Xiangyu has been in Beijing and manages all kinds of questionnaires in Haoguo, what do you know." ”
"Of course, in the armor, there may be something that Childe wants to know."
After that, Pu Jing led the little monk away, leaving only the fasting food he brought.
Li Xiao didn't understand what Pu Jing meant, why did he go to Zuo Xiang, although Chen Ziye didn't come to Beijing sixteen years ago, and Lu Yunlu was still a child, but he was ready to avoid those things in the court, deliberately approaching a certain official, and not hitting the bull's-eye of some people.
However, you can find this Zuo Xiang-sama before leaving the capital division, or enter the Jiaku once.
Watching Pu Jing leave, Li Xiao packed up and prepared to get up. The little girl on the side was a little shy, her little face was flushed, and she covered her eyes to peek at Li Xiao's dressing.
"Young master, are you going to eat fast?"
"Hmm."
The food in the temple still tastes like that, very light, and Li Xiao, who has eaten for a few days, has begun to be boring. This is not his pampering, the food in this temple, one does not put oil and water, and the salt added is almost zero, although the appearance is good, but the taste is indeed nothing. Eating, eating, Li Xiao began to miss the fragrant meal cooked by Chu Xin'er in Suzhou, but unfortunately he couldn't enjoy it for some days.
"Young master, don't you like to eat the food cooked by the masters?" Chu Chu ate his meal and said inarticulately.
"No, I just want to eat my sister's cooking."
"I always hear the young master talk about Miss, Miss really looks like a fairy in the sky."
"Naturally, thinking about it, I haven't seen my sister for more than half a month, it's a bit of a thought. Although my sister is very busy on weekdays, she still comes home often. ”
"Young master, when are we going back?"
"It depends on when Her Royal Highness the princess in the palace recovers."
"When, all these days, I haven't heard from me. Mo is not deceiving the young master. ”
"Who knows."
……
The master and servant ate the bland meal, and you and I said it sentence by sentence.
For so many days, except for Xu Sheng sending some fruits and vegetables from time to time, there is nothing else, Xu Sheng is silent about the princess in the palace, every time Li Xiao asks, he will be vague, one will say that he is about to recover, and then he will say that he will relapse, so anxious that he is like rushing into the palace, hurry up to solve this matter, otherwise his task here will not be delayed again and again.
But the helpless object is the emperor's family, and he has no other way than to wait silently. Is it true to rush into the palace? What's the difference between that and looking for death. But to be honest, Li Xiao always felt that the emperor in the palace was hanging him.
The most important thing is that those people have not moved for so many days, and Li Xiao always feels that something is wrong.
"It's not fun to stay, why don't we go out and have fun later? Yesterday, I saw a shop selling dried fruits, I haven't eaten dried fruits for a long time, my sister also likes to eat these, I happened to try them in advance, and I will buy some when I go back. Li Xiao thought about it, it was enough to be bored for a day in the days of rebirth, it was better to stay in this small courtyard than to go out and wander around, anyway, the emperor gave the silver money, so there was no need to use it in vain.
"Ah," Chu Chu looked at Li Xiao in surprise: "But the abbot said let's stay in the backyard." ”
"Are you stupid, you girl, let's go out early, what's the difference between it and here, as long as you come back later, don't be found by the old woman."
Patting the little girl's head, Li Xiao wanted to laugh very much, why is this kid so stupid, isn't it just to prevent Pu Jing from letting them stay in the backyard to prevent being seen by the Queen Mother, what is the difference between this and them going out to play for a day, and he thinks that the money sent by His Majesty yesterday is for today's spending.
After that, Li Xiao put down the clean fasting meal and ran out with Chu Chu flying. Before leaving, he unintentionally glanced at the black jade pendant hanging at the head of the bed, shook his head, and went out.
When the Queen Mother leaves the palace to incense, there will inevitably be guards to guard the street, if you don't leave earlier, I'm afraid there is no way to run.
Sure enough, just as they were about to leave, they saw a lot of gold-armored guards neatly moving on the long street in front of the temple. In desperation, Li Xiao could only take Chu Chu and leave secretly from the backyard.
The backyard of Wan'an Temple is somewhat similar to the front yard, for example, it is not far from the palace, there are not many residents on this street, and those who live in it usually close their doors, and few people come out, or no one at all, so that there are few people who come and go on weekdays.
However, Li Xiao is also curious about why this street is so silent, could it be that an unknown minister lives? Or is it whose family has a who's Oiran here?
But there was no need to think about it at this time, the two of them needed to pass through this place to reach the long and bustling street.
Leading the little girl, Li Xiao walked faster. Yesterday, he saw that the shop was closing quickly, and he was afraid that he would go late and miss the hour.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the bell in the distance began to become subtle. Maybe he was tired, Li Xiao stopped, and he didn't know what was wrong, at this moment he didn't want to continue walking, so he stood in place in a daze.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
