Cheng Nan's farewell did not seem to bring much turmoil on the surface, but it is unknown what Shangguan Yu was in his heart, in short, Tang Xi stayed in Yiwang Mansion like this.

When they came back, it was already the end of the month, so they didn't stay for a few days before the New Year.

During this period, it was probably Shangguan Yu's cooperation that made each of them come to disturb her, and even the sharp-toothed second lady Yan He never came to their yard to find trouble.

Shangguan Yu said that the matter of harmony was only decided in private, and the matter was important because the king and the emperor were in the know, so now the apparent calm can be maintained, and no one has come to ridicule her, as for the holy decree, it will probably be after the New Year.

"In that case, let's have a happy New Year, you haven't spent the New Year in Yancheng for a long time, right? This time, the two of us let it go and have fun! ”

Shangguan Yu knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, no matter how depressed she was, it would not help, not to mention that Tang Xi could not stay with her for many days, so why not cherish the moment? You must know that when Tang Xi leaves, there is really no one around her who is worthy of trust.

So she also smiled happily, "Okay, then let's go buy New Year's goods first!" It's rare to come over for the New Year, I don't want to share the table with those disgusting faces, let's spend this New Year in this small courtyard, plus the cane! ”

Xiangcane nodded happily when she heard this, "Okay, okay, then let's go out now, right?" ”

So the three of them happily packed up and walked to the outside of King Yi's mansion.

It's just that when they walked to the gate, the housekeeper suddenly appeared and stopped them, "Where are you going?" ”

Shangguan Yu's expression turned cold, "Go out and buy some things, rest assured, I won't take the opportunity to escape." ”

The butler smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "Where did the county lord say this?" The old slave is just worried that there will be more people outside at this time, so why don't you bring a few more guards? ”

The corners of Shangguan Yu's mouth hooked up a mocking arc, "Guards? Is it here to protect me or to monitor me? ”

The housekeeper was squeezed again and again, and his face was a little unsightly, and he said to her with a smile, "The county lord is too worried, and the guards are naturally to protect the safety of the county lord, which is also what the prince meant." ”

Hearing him bring out King Yi to press her, her face became even more difficult to look at, and she wanted to say something more, but Tang Xi pulled her arm, "Isn't it just a few guards, take it." ”

Shangguan Yu pursed his lips, snorted coldly and took the lead out of the palace, and the housekeeper hurriedly gave a few guards around him a look, "Still not keeping up?" If something goes wrong with the county lord, you are the only one who asks! ”

I was happy to go out shopping, but I didn't expect to be so bad before I went out, and even the atmosphere with the three of them was cold, and I didn't say anything along the way.

Looking at Shangguan Yu's cold face, Tang Xi was helpless, and stepped forward to take her hand, "It's such a fun thing to come out shopping, don't pull a face, didn't you say that you want to take me for a good walk?" Why don't you tell me about what these novelties are? ”

As he spoke, Tang Xi picked up the mask on the roadside stall and buttoned it to his face, grinning, "What kind of mask is this?" I haven't seen it. ”

The mask Tang Xi took looked a little funny, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but laugh when he was amused, and his face finally got a lot better, "This is the mask we wear when we sacrifice to Daqian, in fact, ...... It was also the first time I had seen the real thing. As she spoke, she picked up a mask with some curiosity and looked at it carefully.

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that although Shangguan Yu is from Yancheng, she has really not been in Yancheng for a few years since she was born, and most of what she knows comes from what others say and what is written in the book.

So she hooked the corners of her lips, "That's just right, the province makes me look like an uninformed old hat, and now that you are with me, I want to be embarrassed and embarrassed." ”

After saying that, the two giggled and laughed.

Xiangcane watched from the side, and couldn't help but show a slight smile on her face, just now the county lord was still stinky, but she was coaxed by Miss Tang Xi for such a while, it's really good to have her here.

A few people walked all the way and bought all the way, and after a while, they all bought a lot of money, and at this time, those guards came in handy, and they were full of things they bought, Shangguan Yu was in a good mood when he saw it, and greeted Tang Xi and said, "Let's go, take you to the restaurant for a drink." ”

So the group rushed to the restaurant again.

"Hey, who's that?" Tang Xi asked a little strangely.

Before I walked to the door of the restaurant, I saw rows of soldiers standing in front of a restaurant called "Shi Su Zhai" opposite the restaurant...... Monk?

Shangguan Yu naturally didn't recognize it, but Xiangsu looked at it for a while before he replied with some uncertainty, "It seems to be ...... It seems that the holy monks of Hokkeji Temple? These are all fresh faces, I don't recognize them, but among the monks, the only one who can get such courtesy is the holy monk of Fahua Temple. ”

"Hokkeji Temple?" Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, remembering what Shangguan Yu had said before, so he asked, "But that Master Huiqing's temple?" ”

Shangguan Yu nodded, "Yes, looking at their appearance, they probably just finished eating the meal and are about to leave, it doesn't matter, we just go over directly, and there will be no conflict with them." ”

Tang Xi nodded, and was about to catch up with Shangguan Yu, and then when the corner of her eyes crossed those monks, she suddenly froze, and looked over again with disbelief in her eyes, but that familiar face only flickered, and when she looked over again, she could only see the back of their heads.

"Tang Xi? Why? Don't go yet! No matter how late it is, there will be no place! Shangguan Yu saw that she didn't move, and turned his head to call her.

"Oh......" Tang Xi raised her heel in response, but the face she had just seen repeatedly appeared in her heart, and she felt that she should not be mistaken.

So she stopped abruptly and smiled at Shangguan Yu, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot something in the store before, I'll go get it, you wait for me in the restaurant, I'll be back immediately." ”

"I'm ...... with you" Shangguan Yu wanted to say together, but as soon as the words came out, Tang Xi had already turned around and disappeared into the crowd, she hurriedly called her a few times, but she didn't answer, and walked away in a blink of an eye.

Shangguan Yu pouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing, don't wait for me!" ”

Xiangcane said thoughtfully, "County Lord, it's going to be the New Year now, there are so many people on the street, if you get separated at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it, it's better to wait for her in the restaurant according to what Miss Tang said." ”

Shangguan Yu could only respond, and waved his hand, "Go upstairs." ”

Tang Xi chased those monks all the way, remembering the excuse she had just said to Shangguan Yu, she felt familiar before, and after thinking about it, wasn't it the lie she told Yan'er when she was about to catch up with Guan Yu? This is really feng shui in turn, and in the blink of an eye, it has become an excuse to fool Shangguan Yu, but I hope this time it will not be as unlucky as last time.

Fortunately, the place where the monks settled was not far from the restaurant just now, and they didn't chase them out for long before they stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

Because there were a lot of onlookers along the way, she was not afraid of being discovered, so she directly mixed in the crowd and looked curiously here.

The middle-aged man was politely talking to one of the monks at this moment, "Aren't you masters really needing to leave some people down to protect you?" ”

The monk smiled slightly, "Uncle Huiqing didn't come this time, the poor monk and others are just small roles, and no one will want to be unfavorable to us, so the donor's kindness and the poor monk have thanked him, as for the people, there is really no need to stay." ”

The man nodded when he heard this, but he didn't force it, but said, "If the little master has something to do, he can send someone to report it, and he will do his best." ”

At this moment when they were talking, Tang Xi's eyes had already swept over the monks one by one, and finally her gaze stayed on one of them, he was slightly bowing his head at this time, closing his eyes as if chanting the scriptures, but Tang Xi still saw it very clearly, it was really him - Pei Ziqing.

She used to be Fengjun Pei Ziqing.

Her heart flashed with surprise and surprise, but in the end it all came down to confusion.

As her Fengjun, even if he didn't have to be martyred for her, he would never be released from the palace to be free, not to mention that now he has run away to Daqian and become a monk, which is really incredible, or...... He just looks like, but he is not Pei Ziqing?

Maybe her gaze was too hot, he suddenly opened his eyes with his eyes closed, and he didn't even need to look for them among the crowds, his eyes were instantly locked on his body.

Looking at each other, neither of them spoke or dodged, until the monk next to him touched him, "Senior Brother Zhiming, let's go in?" ”

He paused slightly, then retracted his gaze and said to the little monk, "You go in first, I still have something to do." ”

Then Tang Xi saw him walking towards him step by step.

Maybe his eyes were too clear, and for a moment she was a little like a drum, and she had a kind of fear of being looked directly at her soul, but soon she comforted herself in her heart, and now she has already changed her skin, even Feng Lie and Huo Jinyan have never recognized it, even if he is really Pei Ziqing, what can he do?

So she gradually calmed down, looked at the monk who stopped in front of her, and smiled, "The little master has something to do with me?" ”

He looked at Tang Xi, "I thought it was the donor who wanted to see me." ”

Tang Xi paused slightly, and then said with a smile on his face, "I just think you have a little kindness, maybe you have been lucky to see it?" Ignorance...... Where is the little master from? ”

He stared at Tang Xi for a long time, until Tang Xi's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and then he suddenly said, "You recognize me." ”

He said it very surely, so that Tang Xi didn't know how to refute, and he didn't need her rebuttal, in her stunned expression, he showed an inexplicable smile, "The donor is willing to take a step to speak?" ”

Tang Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't know whether she was bewitched by his smile or smoked by the curiosity in her heart, she finally nodded.

Then he took Tang Xi into the courtyard and led him all the way to a more remote hall that looked like his residence.

The two sat facing each other on the ground, and before Tang Xi could ask the many doubts in his heart, the monk named Zhiming took the lead in speaking, "No wonder the spider announces the good news today, it was the old man who came." ”

Tang Xi, who was shocked by the sentence "old man", stiffened all over, "You...... What are you talking about? I just think that the little master is a little kind, and I haven't seen it yet, so how can I afford the word 'old man'? ”

Hearing this, Zhiming smiled kindly, "You're still like that, Fengxi." ”

The moment she heard the word "Fengxi", Tang Xi only felt that her brain exploded, and the other party's words were very determined, but she couldn't allow her to have a half-defended tone, she stood up in shock, and then involuntarily took two steps back.

Looking at his clear gaze, she couldn't say anything to justify, her teeth were almost chattering, and it took a while to say a complete sentence, "Who are you?" ”

He looked at her frightened look, and couldn't help but smile again, "Fengxi, don't be afraid, if I have the intention to harm you, you won't be able to get out of here alive, so you might as well sit down calmly and listen to me say a few words." ”

Tang Xi felt that there was some truth in what he said, and even if he didn't answer her question at this time, she was already sure that he was Pei Ziqing.

In addition, I have to say that Pei Ziqing's appearance is really suitable for being a monk, with a compassionate face, with this monk's robe, as long as he sits there and smiles slightly, he suddenly can't have any malice in his heart.

Tang Xi slowly sat back in his smile, her mood was still much calmer, but the look on her face was still a little uneasy, she pursed her lips and stared at his eyes tightly, "Pei Ziqing, how did you recognize me?" ”

Pei Ziqing poured himself a cup of warm tea, and the appearance of drinking tea was also light and light, but the words he said made Tang Xi stunned, "Because I gave you the chance to be reborn." ”

"What did you say?" Tang Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, and he subconsciously muttered, "How could it be ......?"

"When I was a child, I practiced on behalf of him for a while, and at that time, I happened to meet Master Huiqing who traveled and spent some time with him." Pei Ziqing talked about the past with a faint brow, "Master Huiqing said that I have great wisdom in Buddhism, but I still have a fate to the dust, so he gave me a piece of rue wood before leaving, which has the effect of making people borrow corpses to return their souls......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Tang Xi seriously, "In this world, there is a cause and effect, I used rue wood for you, and changed your life of fragrant jade, so I can only accompany the green lantern ancient Buddha to repay this cause and effect in the second half of my life." ”

I see...... The riddle of Tang Xi's rebirth was finally solved, but this news was too shocking for Tang Xi, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Pei Ziqing was not in a hurry, just drank tea and waited for Tang Xi to digest the news.

Finally, Tang Xi raised his head with a complicated expression, "But...... Why me? ”

"That's probably the number of lives." His gaze was a little misty, as if he was recalling the extremely distant past, "You should know that I once had a childhood sweetheart, she was the love of my life." Tang Xi nodded, of course she knew about this matter, in order to let Pei Ziqing enter the palace to charm the king, I heard that the woman was secretly executed.

He smiled, "If I want to save the most, it must be her, but the time is also fate, this rue wood can only be ignited when the person is not dead, and it can only take effect after the person dies, so I can't save her." ”

Tang Xi was even more confused when he heard this, "But why am I ......?"

He looked at her, "Do you remember the sachet I gave you on the day I died with the Prince?" ”

Tang Xi was stunned, "Could it be that there is ...... there?"

Pei Ziqing nodded, "Yes, you helped me kill Prince He to avenge her, so I gave you rue wood." ”

Tang Xi recalled the situation that day in a distracted manner, the sachet given by Pei Ziqing, she would not pay much attention to it, let alone wear it on her body at any time, she threw it aside casually after wearing it for a few days, that morning, it happened that the palace maid turned over the sachet when she was cleaning, she looked at the sachet that had been blinded and felt a little guilty, in the end, it was a gift from someone else, it was really not good for her to lose it for so long, so out of this little guilt, she put the sachet on her body that day.

Thinking about the way the rue wood was used, it can be said that if she had a different way of dying that day, the rue wood would definitely not be able to save her.

The time and place are right, is it really fate?

"And how do you know I used rue wood?" She asked curiously.

"I just feel something, but I only know that you used rue wood, but I don't know who you were reborn in, and I see you until today, I'm sure I've never seen you, but you look at me with a very complicated look, so I guessed that it was you."

Tang Xi felt that she probably wouldn't understand it, so she asked something else, "Then who is this reborn in, what is the point?" ”

Pei Ziqing pondered for a moment, "Master Huiqing said that this person must have just died, and the first choice is the person next to the person who has a great obsession with you. ”

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then the complicated emotions in his heart spread to his limbs little by little, is he extremely obsessed? Then this person is referring to Huo Jinyan.

Thinking of Huo Jinyan, her heart tingled slightly, I don't know how he is doing now? Presumably her trouble is gone, he must have been relaxed since then, probably...... I don't think about her.

Sensing that Tang Xi's thoughts were drifting away, Pei Ziqing smiled slightly, "Seeing that you are thinking of the person who has a deep attachment to you, let me guess...... Is that the Prime Minister? ”

"You...... How do you know? ”

Pei Ziqing shook his head, "I'm not blind, I can naturally see it." ”

Tang Xi was speechless suddenly.

After a long time, she sighed slightly, "Pei Ziqing, you and I were just cooperating at the beginning, and now we have your life...... I can't afford it, if you need me in anything, just tell me, and I'll try to help you do it. ”

Pei Ziqing shook his head, "Perhaps, I'm just the one who passes things back?" As I said, time is also fate, and fate is so mysterious, how can mortals like us easily change it? So, that's probably your fate. ”

"Today, you and I can meet again, and I am just in line with the idea of sending the Buddha to the west to solve your doubts, and you should be able to settle down a little in the future."

Tang Xi smiled gratefully and said seriously, "Thank you, but ...... If I have the chance, I will definitely pay it back. ”

"By the way, there is one more thing I am curious about, that is, how did you escape from the palace and run here?"

"I can feel that you use rue wood, then Master Huiqing naturally feels it, he is the first senior monk of Fahua Temple, he said that I have Huigen, they will not let me go in the old death palace, Fahua Temple still has hidden masters, plus their status in Daqian, from the Fengyuan Palace to reveal a person that no one cares about, it is not so difficult."

Tang Xi was silent, and after a while, he said quietly, "As you said, I especially want to go back and repair the high wall in the backyard." "The palace of the Fengyuan Dynasty is actually allowed to come and go as you please? My Fengyuan's emperor doesn't want to lose face?

Pei Ziqing smiled dumbly, and then said gently, "Say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again in the future, I advise you, now you are a new life, there is no need to bring in the obsession of the previous life, otherwise it will only backfire." ”

Tang Xi stood up, and then saluted him seriously, "Thank you, I remember." ”

Pei Ziqing nodded, and said with a smile, "My last bit of dust in the red dust is gone, from now on, there will be no Pei Ziqing in this world, only the wisdom of Fahua Temple." ”

Tang Xi wanted to speak and stopped, and finally only bowed his head and said goodbye to him, "So, Master Zhiming, see you again." ”

After leaving Pei Ziqing, Tang Xi felt that the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed, although she didn't say it, but the mystery of her rebirth has always been pressed in her heart, and now that she can solve it, it really makes her feel a lot more happy.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered that Shangguan Yu was still waiting for her in the restaurant, and she suddenly patted her head, "Oh no! It seems to have been delayed for too long! ”

After saying that, she hurried to the restaurant, fortunately Shangguan Yu was still waiting for her, and when she saw her, she immediately gritted her teeth angrily, "Are you going to give birth?" It took so long to come back! It's been a long time since I've eaten all my meals! ”

When Tang Xi heard her analogy, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he knew that he was wrong, so he didn't dare to refute but hurriedly coaxed her, "I'm sorry, I'm delayed by a little thing, don't be angry, okay?" ”

Shangguan Yu wasn't really angry with her, but he was worried that something would happen to her unfamiliar place, but he didn't dare to go away, for fear that she would come back to look for her, so he could only let the guards go out to look for her.

"Okay, it's okay to be back, do you want to eat something?"

"No, didn't you just buy a lot of pastries? Just go back and eat casually. ”

Shangguan Yu paused, and then glanced at her angrily, "Do you think that my dignified county lord can't even afford a good meal?" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Xiao Er and said, "Pack a copy of your restaurant's specialty dishes and take this girl away." ”

Tang Xi stood aside and smiled softly, his eyes were soft.

Now, she finally has a true friend, how lucky?
