Chen Zhiheng knelt directly on the futon filled with buckwheat husk mixed with a little wormwood, which was a pious bow, and then silently read it in his heart, thinking that Chang An was always there, and that there was no dispute with the world. In fact, he knew that it was impossible, but he was just dreaming.

Chen Zhiheng was originally the same as Xu Yuanyuan, who did not believe in gods and Buddhas.

But since Chen Zhiheng fell into the swamp of love, he began to be inexplicably afraid, afraid that he would not be able to protect Xu Yuanyuan, and that his relationship with Xu Yuanyuan would be broken off for no reason like others. So he wanted to come to Baiyun Temple to ask for a request, first, he hoped that Xu Yuan would be safe, and secondly, he hoped to have a good marriage with Xu Yuan, so that in this way, he could use all his own to protect Xu Yuan's thoughtfulness, and also give Xu Yuanyuan some illusory glory.

But Chen Zhiheng knew that Xu Yuanyuan didn't want to marry him, all this was just a delusion under the guidance of his infatuation.

And Xu Yuanxuan just stood aside, and quietly watched Chen Zhiheng kneeling there and worshipping the Buddha. The incense burner in front of has accumulated a thick layer of incense ash, and the Buddhist hall is lingering with faint sandalwood and agarwood incense, I don't know how many fools in the world came to ask for Buddha yesterday, and how many satisfied people came to repay their vows.

There is a big Buddha in the hall, sitting high on the platform, his face still has such an eternal expression, I can't see whether it is sad or happy.

Maybe it's a joy, you can still find a lover in this world. Maybe it's sadness, most of the lovers in this world are separated.

In fact, life is such a mixture of joys and sorrows, gains and losses, and losses and gains.

After worshipping the Buddha, the two left the Baiyun Temple hand in hand, stood on the mountainside, and saw a stream in the distance, next to the peach blossom forest, the stream was rapidly stirring, floating white waves and broken foam, as pure and ignorant as winter snow.

The old monk who swept the floor watched the two go away, but sighed silently, he may have seen that this love was a last resort.

In fact, the old monk who swept the floor used to be a lover, but he was hurt by his sweetheart, and then he became a heartbroken man guarding the Baiyun Temple, sweeping the fallen leaves, and sighing at the infatuated lovers in the world who came to the Baiyun Temple to seek marriage.

The monk was originally a rich young master from a rich family in the city near Baiyun Temple, called Jiang Xiaopei.

Jiang Xiaopei's mother is the wife of his father Ming Media, and he has a younger brother Jiang Xiaoyuan, who was born to an aunt who was sold by a poor family. Although Jiang Xiaoyuan is very favored by his father, due to the influence of the elders in the clan and Jiang Xiaopei's mother's mother, his younger brother cannot inherit any family property no matter how hard he works and how much he is favored by his father.

Jiang Xiaopei is almost at the age of marriage, but he doesn't like the young ladies of the big families in the state at all, he thinks that most of those young ladies are restrained, too docile, a little less naïve, and very boring.

Moreover, when a large family stands on a higher place, it will naturally wear a mask of hypocrisy, so that even if the child raised by the family is gentle and kind, he will feel that he is pretending to be hypocritical.

He liked the daughter of the vegetable vendor on the side of the road.

That day, Jiang Xiaopei was reading from the gazebo in the garden, but he didn't want to hear the laughter of a young girl. The light in the girl's eyes was something he had never seen in other ladies, like a shining star.

Later, Jiang Xiaopei said that the girl was the daughter of a roadside vegetable vendor, and today she came in for her father to deliver fresh vegetables.

After that day, he often went to the girl secretly, but the girl did not refuse him, but was willing to talk and laugh with him, was willing to show her truest self in front of him, was willing to go with him to see the snow on the distant mountains, and was willing to listen to him tell him about his troubles. The girl never seemed to be troubled, and every time she smiled and smiled, her eyes seemed to have fallen into the most beautiful thing in the world, and finally he fell into it himself, and fell into the mire.

Jiang Xiaopei felt that the girl loved him, because the girl had never annoyed him, and both of them could laugh and forget their troubles. When two people are together, they feel that there is nothing else in this world, and they are the only existence in this world.

I never thought that one year, Jiang's father was seriously ill, and Lang Zhong in the city said that there was no medicine stone to treat, but he didn't want the girl to come to him from outside the city overnight and give him a box, which contained a dark brown pill as big as a thumb, saying that it was an ancestral heirloom in the family and could cure all diseases. The girl said that she knew that Jiang's father was seriously ill, so she specially sent it over, in order to make Jiang Xiaopei do her filial piety.

Jiang Xiaopei was overjoyed when he heard this, he had never suspected the girl, so he gave the pill directly to Jiang's father. But he didn't want Jiang's father to take it, and his condition suddenly deteriorated, and his convulsions continued. After a cup of tea, he vomited blood and died.

The blood was crimson, and the red was dark black.

Just like the human heart, there is an evil heart hidden under the appearance of integrity, which is always ready to move in the shadows, and will pull you into the abyss at any time when you are not prepared.

Suddenly, Jiang Fu remembered the heart-rending cry like a landslide, and Jiang Fu knelt in the courtyard from Mrs. Young Master and Miss to the sweeping servants, all of whom were in the courtyard.

When Lang Zhong arrived, Father Jiang was already out of breath for a moment. After the inspection of Lang Zhong, he said that the pill that Jiang Xiaopei gave to Jiang's father was a desperate pill, and Jiang's father could live for more than half a month, but because he took the desperate pill, he drove to the west in less than a cup of tea.

Jiang Xiaoyuan gave the elders of the clan at this time and instigated the elders in the clan who were highly respected and had the right to speak, saying that Jiang Xiaopei was the sole owner of the family property and did not hesitate to kill the loving father who had raised him for many years, because he was unfilial and should not inherit any family property in the family, and expelled from the family, removed the family tree, and there was no Jiang Xiaopei in the Jiang family.

When the elders of the clan heard this, they agreed, after all, the matter of killing their father was really dishonorable, and it ruined the reputation of the Jiang Mansion abroad.

But those elders didn't seem to find a huge loophole in Jiang Xiaoyuan's words, that is, why would a person who could have inherited the family property in its entirety do such a ridiculous thing in order to get the family property in advance?

Maybe in the face of such a disgraceful thing, they don't want to delve into the unreasonableness of this, they only know that leaving Jiang Xiaopei will only disgrace the family, so they are eager for Jiang Xiaopei.

Jiang Xiaopei was expelled from Jiang's mansion at night, and as soon as he was kicked out of the mansion to find the girl outside the city, he wanted to ask the girl why she wanted to harm herself, how much she loved her, and why she could poison her next time.

Jiang Xiaopei never thought that the girl smiled and said to him that she had never loved Jiang Xiaopei at all, but Jiang Xiaopei was amorous, and she just coveted his money by ignoring Jiang Xiaopei, as for why she wanted to harm him, it was because Jiang Xiaoyuan promised her benefits. said that if it was done, he would give her a reward of one hundred taels of silver, so that she could fly away. And the post-mortem Lang Zhong was also found by Jiang Xiaoyuan a long time ago, and the Desperate Pill was also from the hand of that Lang Zhong.

No wonder! That Lang Zhong was able to know so quickly that Father Jiang was desperate because of that desperate pill.

He threw his head back and laughed, and the laughter was so sad.

The girl thought he had lost his property and had gone mad. But Jiang Xiaopei knew in his heart that his sudden madness was only wrong because of his infatuation.

At this time, Jiang Xiaopei felt that the girl was no longer the innocent butterfly girl he knew, but he still felt a little terrifying, which made him feel a little disgusted.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaopei had an epiphany, it turned out that she was no different from the laymen in the world who were running for money, but she looked down on her.

That night, Jiang Xiaopei, in a fit of rage, picked up the firewood knife hanging on the wall of the next room and killed the hateful girl.

It all started with this wishful thinking, and finally it ended with this wishful thinking.

With the knife in his hand, Jiang Xiaopei broke off his Hongchen past, his deep affection, and his infatuation, and turned into a monk whose law name is forgetfulness.

Since then, there is no Jiang Xiaopei in the world, but there is an unknown sweeping monk on Baiyun Temple.

In the first few years of his arrival, Baiyun Temple pilgrims were scarce and it was difficult to survive, and the other monks had gone to the big temple that could support them, and those senior brothers and disciples wanted to persuade him to go with him. He was reluctant to go to the temple where the incense was flourishing, he felt that it was too noisy, he was tired of the world, and he was only willing to live alone in the Baiyun Temple. Often he didn't have the money to buy rice, so he went up to the mountains to pick wild fruits and vegetables to fill his stomach. After those monks left, he was the only one in Baiyun Temple, and he forgot that his Dharma name was Forget, and he forgot that his common name was Jiang Xiaopei.

Later, for some reason, there were more pilgrims in Baiyun Temple, so he quietly swept the ground there, and people came and went, and he saw how many infatuated species, lamenting for them, only that God loves to play with people.

By the time Chen Zhiheng and Xu Yuanyuan returned to the city, it was already evening.

The distant horizon was dyed as red as Chixia's body color, and it was like the cheeks of a drunken girl, burning hot, and it seemed that she could vaguely hear the girl's drunken moans, about life, about the future, and about her sweetheart. I don't know whose young girl looked out of the door stupidly, waiting for the young man to return from a distant horseback, gently boiling the fragrance of his fingertips, year after year passed, only to wait until the pear blossoms fell all over the ground again, the drizzle slapped the window lattice, and finally had no choice but to close his boudoir door, only to complain and cry in his room.

The city is crowded with people, and it is inconvenient to ride horses. And Xu Yuanqian was afraid that it would be a little inappropriate for everyone to see her riding the same horse with Chen Zhiheng, and there would be some misunderstanding, and she was about to arrive at the gate of Yanjing City, so she was reluctant to ride a horse with Chen Zhiheng, and Chen Zhiheng had no choice but to rely on her. The two were about a hundred zhang away from the gate of Yanjing City, and the two dismounted. Chen Zhiheng led the horse, and Xu Yuanxuan walked next to Chen Zhiheng, if people who didn't know would definitely think that the two of them were husband and wife.

Entering the city, there was a two-foot distance between the two, not close or far.

It was getting late, and Chen Zhiheng was afraid that Xu Yuanyuan would miss the meal and then have no food when he returned to Xu's class, and he would be hungry all night, so he thought about what to eat outside with Xu Yuanyuan and then go back.

Chen Zhiheng grabbed Xu Yuan's arm at his side and said, "It's getting late now, and you must have no food when you go back, so let's eat outside." ”
