Chapter 44 Go up the mountain to pray for blessings
Liu Ruyin was naturally amazed when she saw Meng Xiaoran for the first time, but she didn't say much, she knew that her mother should have something to deal with, and she had never been very interested in these things, so she only said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest and leave.
After Liu Ruyin left, Chen looked at Meng Xiaoran with a smile, "Lufu, this plum blossom banquet was very good, even the queen mother was full of praise, I promised you a lot of rewards, say, what do you want?" ”
Chen thought that she would ask for her deed of sale, or ask for some money or something, but she actually said, "Madam, the slave maid and Xiao Cui were sisters when they were in the big kitchen, and the slave and maid dared to ask Mrs. to transfer Xiao Cui to Linyue Zhai, no matter what she did, the slave and Xiao Cui would sleep in the same room." ”
Chen Shi was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "What should I be, this is just a trivial matter, there are not many people in the small kitchen, just transferred her to the small kitchen, I will let Luyi deal with this matter." ”
Meng Xiaoran immediately smiled and thanked him, and Chen waved his hand, "You are also tired for a day today, go to the North Courtyard to pack up and move back." Meng Xiaoran nodded and retreated, very happy in her heart, Lu Yi was instructed by Chen, so she went to the big kitchen with her.
Aunt Hu knew that Xiaocui was transferred to Linyuezhai, and instantly cried with joy, knowing that Meng Xiaoran begged for Xiaocui, and thanked her for a thousand kindnesses, and when she left, she took Xiaocui's hand and carefully instructed a lot, and finally reluctantly separated.
It was the first time for Xiaocui to come to Linyuezhai, and when she entered Meng Xiaoran's house, she immediately opened her mouth wide, "Sister, this room is so big, so beautiful!" ”
There are already two beds in the house, Meng Xiaoran don't sigh, Chen's efficiency is still very high, from now on she and Xiaocui will have to sleep in the same room again, she is still very happy in her heart, at least here she can take care of Xiaocui more, Xiaocui can also suffer less.
Liu Chengming's foot injury has been much better, and he can walk for a while with the support of people, but he still needs to recuperate, but the wound is sometimes good and bad for some reason, and the doctor can't find out the reason, so he has to ask to change the dressing every day.
Chen's thought about going up the mountain to pray for blessings, the most famous temple in Yujing City is Fahua Temple, Chen's family took Luyi and Zhang's mother, for some reason, they also brought Meng Xiaoran with them, Luqing knew that he was angry, and hated Meng Xiaoran in his heart.
Fahua Temple is a hundred miles outside the city, the road is far away, Chen brought dozens of guards, a group of people are mighty, before leaving Liu Ruxue suddenly came over, said with a smile: "Mother wants to go to Fahua Temple, why don't you take my daughter to me?" It's better to be with my sister. ”
Chen couldn't, so he had to prepare a carriage and set off with Liu Wei, now it is a cold winter, there are not many people who go to the temple, they arrived at Fahua Temple in the afternoon, there are not many people in the temple, they are placed in the backyard, and the entire Xiangfu will occupy half of the backyard of Fahua Temple.
After eating fast in the temple, Chen fell asleep, all the way to the boat and car, she was a little tired, Meng Xiaoran walked to the back mountain to look carefully, when she came, she found that this mountain is somewhat familiar, now take a closer look, the more you look at it, the more familiar it is, it is very similar to the mountain that she climbed when she crossed.
Is it really the same mountain?
Meng Xiaoran's heart was pounding, although she had nothing to worry about in modern times, it was really good for her to be able to go back, she was still used to everything there, everyone was equal, there was no dignity or inferiority, so she couldn't help but walk into the mountain from the stone steps in the backyard.
Along the mountain road from one mountain to another, fortunately the mountain is not high, she did not struggle too much, standing on the top of the mountain in a clearing, looking not far away, there is the backyard where they just boarded, in front of the Fahua Temple, the yellow outer wall, and the smell of incense lingering above, at this time Meng Xiaoran's heart, surprisingly quiet, I don't know whether it was soothed by this quiet and ancient temple, or the smell of incense?
Meng Xiaoran stood for a while, and then began to look for the cave in his memory, but this mountain forest is not small, at a glance, it is all dense forest, and it is not easy to find the cave.
She made up her mind and launched a carpet search, not sparing an inch, but as the sky darkened little by little, she still did not find the cave.
"Maybe not here." Meng Xiaoran was a little disappointed, but seeing that the sky was about to darken, she still had to go back quickly, otherwise she would definitely be scolded if they found out.
Meng Xiaoran began to go down the mountain, but something strange happened, when she went up the mountain, it only took a little time, but she couldn't go down to the end, she had been walking for several hours, but she was still in the mountain, she looked at the dense woods around her, and her heart was beating like thunder for a while, could it be that she was trapped in the mountain?
It was already dark, the surroundings were gloomy, and a few bird calls came from time to time, Meng Xiaoran swallowed his saliva nervously, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, are you going to be trapped in the mountains tonight?
Suddenly, Meng Xiaoran saw a light, and he was overjoyed, could it be that someone had entered the mountain? She hurriedly walked towards the light, and the closer she got, the more surprised she became, how could this place be so familiar?
Between the lightning and flint, Meng Xiaoran suddenly remembered, wasn't this the top of the mountain she climbed at that time, and she came back again? At that moment, she almost burst into tears, ignoring the anomaly of this phenomenon for a moment, and all she thought about was finding the top of the mountain, and the cave must be around.
Sure enough, after a while, Meng Xiaoran saw the cave, the one she crossed and advanced! Her heart was pounding, and she approached the cave step by step, and she could return to her familiar place the next moment, and she was a little homesick for a while.
Meng Xiaoran finally walked in, it was still pitch black inside, she touched the wall of the cave as usual, it was still very smooth, she knew that if she took one more step, she should fall, and then she would probably return to her place.
For some reason, there was a trace of reluctance in her heart, but that trace of reluctance was overshadowed by the excitement that she was about to go back, she took a step forward, and sure enough, there was another whirlwind, and she fell from above and lost consciousness.
Meng Xiaoran woke up slowly, smelling the smell of incense in a daze, she was a little confused for a while, and when she finally opened her eyes, she suddenly remembered what happened before, and sat up from the bed at once.
"I'm back!" Meng Xiaoran only had this idea in her heart, but when she looked around clearly, her heart suddenly jumped, how could she still be in such an antique room? It seems that he still smells incense, could it be that he came back from time travel and was saved by the temple in the mountains?
Meng Xiaoran hurriedly got up, put on shoes and clothes and hurried to the door, "squeak", the ancient wooden door was opened, and there was a courtyard in sight, because it was winter, everything looked a little dilapidated.
Looking around, I finally saw a little monk coming from the gate of the courtyard, the little monk was only seven or eight years old, wearing monk clothes, his head was shiny, he looked very cute, the little monk walked in front of her and folded his hands, "Amitabha, female donor, you have finally woken up." ”
"Little master, where is this?" Meng Xiaoran asked a little dazedly.
The little monk's immature voice sounded, "The female benefactor is the Fahua Temple of the Great Shang Kingdom. ”
"Hokkeji Temple? Or at Hokkeji Temple? Meng Xiaoran said in a daze, and suddenly woke up, it had been a night, wouldn't the Prime Minister's Mansion be exposed? Thinking like this, she hurriedly ran towards the courtyard gate, but was stopped by a figure that suddenly flashed out.
She stopped and saw that it was Shen Qian, "Why are you here?" ”
Shen Qian snorted coldly, "I'm embarrassed to ask, if it weren't for me, things would be big now." ”
Meng Xiaoran was a little puzzled, but he couldn't care about it, and stretched out his hand to push him away, "I have to go back quickly, otherwise the consequences will be serious." ”
"Do you know that the consequences are serious? What to do when you go back at this time? Shen Qian said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Meng Xiaoran realized that something was wrong, looked at him and asked.
Shen Qian pulled her into the house, closed the door and said, "You suddenly disappeared last night, so I found a woman who disguised herself as you, pretended to pass out in the backyard, and was still lying in the meditation room over there. ”
"We searched for you all night before we found you in the back mountains, and now tell me, why are you there?" Shen Qian's face was very bad, and he continued: "Do you know how dangerous the back mountain is, if we hadn't gone in time, you would have frozen to death even if you weren't eaten by the beasts in the mountain!" ”
"I ......" Meng Xiaoran's heart is in a mess now, she doesn't know how to explain, she hasn't recovered from the shock of last night, she obviously saw the exact same scene, she obviously saw the familiar mountain, why did she wake up but still here?
"What are you thinking?" Shen Qian watched the expression on her face change, and doubts gradually became in his heart.
"I ...... I'm looking for my way home. Meng Xiaoran said suddenly, but his expression was stunned like never before, and Shen Qian didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, the voice of the little novice sounded outside the door, "Female donor, Uncle Pudu is invited." ”
Meng Xiaoran raised his head a little dazedly, but Shen Qian was very surprised, Master Pudu has never seen outsiders, and there are rumors outside that he is an immortal and a mortal, but he can find out the blessings and misfortunes, how can he see her today?
Seeing that Meng Xiaoran didn't seem to come back to his senses, he gently pushed her, "Master Pudu is a high monk, and he can explore the future of fortune and misfortune, he wants to see you is your blessing, go quickly." ”
Meng Xiaoran followed Xiao Shami to a meditation room, Xiao Shami stopped, and said to Meng Xiaoran: "Uncle Pudu is waiting inside, the female benefactor, please come in."
Meng Xiaoran nodded, unconsciously she was also infected by this quiet atmosphere, and the whole person became solemn, she walked to the door of the meditation room, knocked lightly, and an old voice came from inside, "Donor, please come in." ”
Meng Xiaoran gently pushed open the door and walked in, the meditation room was spotless, a low table was placed in front of the window, an elderly monk was sitting on a futon, tea was boiling on the low table, Meng Xiaoran thought that there must be incense in the meditation room, only to find that it was refreshing and clean, there was no smell, only a faint fragrance of tea.
