Lu Zhong escaped in Luonan and was taken back to the Great Elder's Mansion by the guards of the Council of Elders. He was also one of the deacons of the land valve back then, so he was naturally very familiar with this place, and knew that where he was at the moment was the Buddhist hall of the owner of the back house.

Listening to the faint sound of wooden fish in the Buddhist hall, Lu Zhong couldn't help but stand on his feet and carefully straightened his clothes. Although he could be as uninhibited as he could in front of Steward Zhang and those neighbors, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the Great Elder who could control his own destiny.

"Let's go inside." The leader of the guards lifted the cotton curtain of the Buddha hall.

Lu Zhong nodded, took a deep breath, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the Buddha hall.

In the Buddhist hall, a statue of the golden body of Nyorai sat on a high level, looking at the thin woman kneeling in front of the futon with compassion.

The woman was so engrossed in chanting the Buddha that she didn't notice anyone appearing behind her.

Lu Zhong didn't dare to disturb the other party, his eyes and nose looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and he hung his head and waited aside.

The thick cotton curtain covers the sound of the wind and snow outside, and in this quiet Buddhist hall, only the sound of the wooden fish is knocking on people's hearts.

I don't know how long later, after the woman finished reciting the scriptures, she put down the mallet in her hand, picked up three incense sticks, lit them on the butter wax, and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner on the offering table. Listen only to her whispered prayers:

"The Buddha blesses the little girl, and she can reunite with Zhonglang ...... broken mirror"

"Huh......" Hearing the woman's prayer, Lu Zhong finally couldn't help but gasp.

Only then did the woman hear someone behind her, and with a shake of her hand, the incense stick was broken into several pieces. She turned around in horror, but when she saw the person clearly, the panic on her pale face turned to joy.

"Nakaro ......"

"Are you ......" Lu Zhong carefully looked at the other party's excessively decayed face, but he never hurt to associate it with the youthful face that he never forgot.

"I'm a jade slave, Zhonglang!" Yu Nu took two steps forward excitedly, and the milk swallow threw herself into Lu Zhong's arms.

Lu Zhong let her hug him tightly, but his face was full of confusion. "Why are you here?"

"It was the Great Elder who brought me back, and he still wants to help Zhonglang get justice." Yu Nu's face was close to Lu Zhong's chest, but he could no longer hear the powerful heartbeat of that year. Yu Nu raised his head in surprise, only to find that Lu Zhong's complexion was sluggish, his face was full of vicissitudes, and he didn't look much better than himself.

"What justice is it for?" Lu Zhong frowned and pushed the jade slave away, looking directly into her eyes. "Does the Great Elder dare to provoke Pei Valve?"

Yu Nu also looked at Lu Zhong's eyes, but in those eyes, he couldn't see the surprise of reuniting after half a catastrophe, but instead showed a deep embarrassment and resistance.

"It's not Pei's ......" Yu Nu only felt full of enthusiasm sprinkled on the cold snow, and his voice gradually weakened: "It's Lu Shang." ”

"Valve Master?" Lu Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and his hands tightly grasped Yu Nu's shoulders. Even if he lost all his skills, he still pinched her and hurt. "You tell me clearly, why did you have anything to do with my land valve master again?!"

Seeing that Lu Zhong was about to eat people, Yu Nu couldn't help but be very frightened, and wanted to retreat but couldn't move, but he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"Ahem." Lu Wen, who was listening outside the door, knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't appear.

He coughed lightly and pushed open the door of the Buddha hall, and Lu Zhong let go of the jade slave and hurriedly saluted the Great Elder.

"Disciple Lu Zhong, meet the Great Elder."

Yu Nu also hurriedly knelt down to greet Lu.

"Hehe, don't be restrained, when you get to your uncle, you will come to your own house."

Lu Wen helped Lu Zhong up with a smile, and said to Yunu and Yan Yuese: "Child, don't be afraid. Lu Zhong has suffered a lot of disasters over the years, his temperament is a little extreme, and his suspicion is also serious. You go and rest for a while, and I'll enlighten him. ”

Lu Wen's concubine took the hand of the jade slave and withdrew from the Buddhist hall.

。

In the Buddha hall, Lu Wen first respectfully offered incense to the Buddha, and then motioned for Lu Zhong to sit on the futon in front of the Buddha statue with him.

"Everything is like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and it should be viewed as such." Lu Wen's kind eyes are really a bit virtuous and kind. He turned the jasper rosary in his hand, looked at Lu Zhong with a compassionate expression, and said, "The Buddha told us that everything in the world is like a dream, it is an illusion, why are you obsessed with it too much?" ”

"Uncle is taught." Lu Zhong looked teachable, but he sneered in his heart. He said secretly: 'If the old man really wants to persuade people to let go, why bother to get that woman back, and take the trouble to get me here?' ’

"But presumably the Great Elder didn't call me here to teach the Dharma." Lu Zhong smiled faintly and said, "Besides, my Lu family's son-in-law believes in the master, and he talks about coming and not being rude." ”

"Hehe, old sixteen, your temper hasn't changed for many years." Lu Wen smiled with satisfaction. Although Lu Zhong's martial arts skills are useless, this sharpness is still there, and the Great Elder is about to use him as a swordman, of course, he will not think that the blade is too sharp.

"Dare to ask the Great Elder, what do Yu Nu's words mean?" Lu Zhong asked the previous question again. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Nu mentioned the secret of the year, he would not have been unable to control his temperament in front of the Great Elder.

"I'll tell you the truth." Lu Wen no longer sold Guanzi, and Shi Potian was shocked: "The jade slave is the thin horse Qingqi person selected by Liu Yilan, the steward of the lord's mansion, in person in Yangzhou. ”

"What?" Lu Zhong was struck by lightning and almost fainted. The already pale face lost all blood. For a moment, he lost all his composure and muttered to himself: "Isn't she the daughter of the old man of the Southern Dynasty who came to Luoyang to join her family?" How did you become a thin horse in Yangzhou? ”

He still clearly remembers the first time he met Yunu. It was the spring of ten years ago, and when my practice reached a bottleneck, I went to the White Horse Temple to retreat alone. I met the jade slave who came to incense and was molested by the ruffian. At a glance, he was deeply attracted by the beautiful and elegant gold powder of the Southern Dynasty.

Lu Zhong, who was not nosy, involuntarily staged a scene of heroes saving beauty. He personally escorted the beauty home, and since then he has been haunted by his dreams and thoughts.

At that time, Lu Zhong had already married Pei and suffered greatly from his fierce and domineering. Naturally, he left home to go to the White Horse Temple to meditate, which also has the meaning of hiding from the tigress to find purity. Compared with Pei's family, the jade slave who is gentle like water and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is the person that Lu Zhong longs to stay with for a long time.

But Yunu also fell in love at first sight with a noble son like him, who was both civil and military, and after coming and going, the two fell in love with each other, and they could no longer be separated. Of course, borrowing Lu Zhong's courage, he didn't dare to openly take a concubine. secretly purchased a beautiful courtyard and placed the jade slave in it, and then often secretly had trysts with her under various pretexts such as practicing and doing errands.

His soul, which had been devastated and suppressed by Pei's place, finally had a place to breathe and nourish.
