Perfume Temple is Tian's family temple, which is a very quiet place in Weizhou.

When Li Mao went to the appointment, it was dusk, and the sun was hanging in the west, and the sunlight was projected on the ground through the elm forest that had lost its leaves, like a sharp sword made of thousands of gold.

There is an earthen platform in the northeast corner of the perfume temple, and a pavilion is built on the top of the platform, and Tian Xuan's vegetarian food is placed in a Buddhist hall not far from this pavilion.

Qingmo pulled the female Qingmo and said with a smile: "This temple is full of incense, presumably the Bodhisattva is very effective, you take me to ask for a lot, see how my luck is." The female Qingmo asked crisply: "What do you want, ask for marriage?" Qingmo said: "Marriage is only suitable for you little women, but I have no chance." I got married. ”

The female Qingmo glared at Qingmo, and squeezed out two words between her teeth: "boring." ”

Qingmo's intention was just to take away the female Qingmo, so that Li Mao and Tian Qian had a chance to be alone, as for the reason, he couldn't tell the reason, but he just thought it was interesting to do this, so he did it.

The female Qingmo was pestered by him to go to the host to ask for a signature, and Zhang Qi used the excuse of repairing the horseshoe and hid out early in the morning.

Li Mao and Tian Qian sat opposite each other and were suddenly speechless, so they walked out of the Buddhist hall one after the other and went to the pavilion on the earthen platform. The city of Weizhou in the early winter sunset is exceptionally magnificent.

Tian Qian stretched out her arms, made a chest expansion movement, and suddenly said lonely: "I have lived here for twenty years, and now it's time to leave." I don't know when I'll see this kind of scenery next time. ”

Hearing this, Li Mao suddenly felt his heart blocked.

Tian Qian put her hands behind her back, raised her face and asked Li Mao: "You did a good job as an official in the capital, why did you want to go back to Ziqing?" Don't tell me that officialdom is sinister, I know that you really want to stay in Chang'an, and you can stay. You are thick-skinned and ruthless enough, and you are suitable to be a big official in the capital. ”

Li Mao said: "Thanks to the praise, I left Beijing this time to complete an important mission ...... Liaodong. ”

Tian Qian raised a finger and said, "Stop." If you don't want to say it, forget it, why bother with this nonsense. ”

Li Mao smiled, talking to a smart person like Tian Qian is undoubtedly a pleasure.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Mao still asked: "What about you, why do you want to marry Wang Pu, I know that if you don't want to, no one can force you." ”

Tian Qi's face suddenly became grim, she took two steps forward, looked at the railing from afar, and did not respond directly to this question, Li Mao could see that her words touched the sore spot in her heart.

He regretted it a little, and his mood suddenly became gloomy.

"I'm tired and don't want to toss anymore. They said that our Tian family needs someone in the court. What can a woman do at home from her parents, her husband when she marries, and her husband from her son? ”

Li Mao said: "You are too pessimistic. ”

Tian Qian snorted, Huo Ran turned around, and his eyes stabbed at Li Mao sharply: "I'm not pessimistic, I hate the posture of children, I have calculated and struggled, but it is useless, no matter how I fight, the final result still can't escape." You men can abandon their wives and children and create a world of their own. But what about me, I can only compromise and make mistakes, for the sake of my family, I have never met a man who has never met me, this is my fate, I can't change it, can you change it? ”

Speaking of excitement, Tian Qian burst into tears, and actually brushed her sleeves away.

Li Mao suddenly became inexplicably irritable, he clenched his teeth, trying to calm the tide in his heart, and the lips that he bit with his teeth were bloody, so he suppressed the surging tide.

Tian Qian didn't go far, she stood on the stone steps and stared blankly at the sunset and evening forest, and the city of Weizhou in the twilight had a magnificent desolation. Li Mao walked over. She apologized to Li Mao and said, "There's no reason to lose your temper with you, don't take it to heart." ”

After saying this, she became happy again, and pointed to a dirt mountain outside the Perfume Temple with a smile: "That's Yu Taoist Mountain, there is a Yu Taoist living on the mountain, and Yu Taoist is now old, but he was also young, he was young, heroic and chic." He admires the little sister next door, his family is poor, he has low self-esteem, and he doesn't dare to confess. Thinking of helplessness, he left his hometown to go to Chang'an to gain fame, fell first in the three lists, threw his pen from Rong in anger, and became a general in the border pass. He happily returned to his hometown to marry his lover, only to learn that his old man had passed away. He admired her, and she admired him, and when she saw him leave mercilessly, she became ill. He was in pain, escaped into the empty gate, and devoted himself to alchemy on the mountain, hoping to survive the tribulation and ascend and continue the frontier. ”

Li Mao lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said, "It seems that it is difficult to cross the tribulation. ”

Tian Qian laughed, and a string of tears fell to the ground. She wiped her eyes and asked Li Mao with a smile: "Is he so stupid, he always thinks that women only value fame, wealth, stability, fame or something, in fact, women are women, sometimes they just want to find a man who can talk and is not so annoying." ”

Tian Qian raised his face, stared at Li Mao with burning eyes, and asked, "If you are a Taoist priest, how do you choose?" ”

Li Mao fell into contemplation again, he really couldn't bear to disappoint those expectant eyes, but apart from disappointing it, what could he give her, he wanted to make a haha perfunctory, but he couldn't be ruthless.

After hesitating, Li Mao still obeyed his instinct and stretched out his hand, hesitating to explore the unknown. He was startled when he saw the sudden brightness in those eager eyes, and he was thinking about withdrawing his hand.

There was a sudden loud bang in his ears, earth-shattering, and with a bang, Yu Daoist Mountain on the opposite side flew into the sky.

The explosion was so violent, the earth trembled, and Tian Qi threw himself into Li Mao's arms, like a bird flying into the forest.

"This ...... Did the Taoist succeed? "The beauty is in her arms, but Li Mao seems to be holding a bundle of thorns.

"It's the eighth time in the beginning of the year that the furnace has been broken."

Li Mao was still a little resistant to her, Tian Qi could feel it, as soon as the explosion ended, she took the initiative to leave Li Mao.

"The explosion is strong enough." Li Mao muttered to himself, and suddenly asked Tian Qi: "You mean that similar explosions have occurred seven times?" ”

"Yes." Tian Qian nodded, frowning. This was the first time she had heard the word "explosion", but it wasn't hard to understand. What she couldn't understand was that Li Mao seemed to be very interested in the Taoist Broken Furnace Bad Pill, and his strong and powerful heart was beating like a drum.

"I don't know if the Taoist priest is dead?" Li Mao looked at the rising gray smoke and dust, and said worriedly.

"No, he's very afraid of death, every time before the furnace is opened, he will dig a deep pit to hide, tie a rope to the stove cover, and pull it in the distance."

Li Mao was overjoyed and pulled Tian Qi's hand: "This person is very interesting, I want to meet him." ”

The huge electric current hit in an instant, Tian Qi's brain buzzed and dizzy, what kind of clever calculation and even reason were all out of order at this moment, she followed Li Mao's pace so stupidly, let him pull it, like a puppet.

The two of them just came down from the earthen platform, but they bumped into the female Qingmo who was rushing over, and the female Qingmo ran out of breath, rubbing her throat with one hand on her knee and the other, and reported in a panic: "Shi, Shi Lao Er is leading the tooth army over." Hey, you ......."

Although she couldn't speak, Nu Qingmo's eyes were still keen, she first noticed that Tian Qian's expression was a little strange, and then she found that she was holding Li Mao's arm.

Tian Qi glared at her, calmly let go of Li Mao's hand, and said to him, "You have to leave quickly, so as not to misunderstand." ”

The female Qingmo said: "The four doors are blocked, and you can't go, so let's go to the wine cellar to hide." ”

Tian Qian hesitated slightly, and urged Li Mao to leave quickly. Perfume Temple was originally a very small temple, after making the Tian family's home temple, with the help of the Tian family's power several times to expand, there is a winery on the expanded land, and there is still an underground wine cellar remaining, the Buddhist family quit drinking, this cellar was abandoned.

When Tian Qi was a child, she took a group of young players to play here, and found that time had passed, and everyone had forgotten, but she still remembered.

Whenever she was in a bad mood and didn't want to see people, she would go here to hide and sort out her thoughts.

Under the guidance of the female Qingmo, Li Mao and Qingmo hid in the wine cellar, while Tian Qian went to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras, and she often came here to chant on behalf of her mother, no matter morning or night.

The wine cellar is built a few feet deep underground, open and dry, with special vents, because Tian Qian often comes, and there are tables, chairs, oil lamps, books, and even some food and wine.

Shi Xianzhong is now the general of the left wing of the Tianxiong Army, stationed in the east of Weizhou City, the camp is not far from here, at dusk he is supervising the drill in the camp, suddenly heard the explosion in the east of the city, and asked with a smile: "Daoist Yu has ascended to heaven again, this is the first time this year?" ”

Everyone gossiped, some said seven, some said eight, Shi Xianzhong was impatient, so he took a battle axe and crossed the horse out of the camp to find out.

Perfume Temple is the nearest passage to the Taoist Mountain, Shi Xianzhong rode a horse to the front of the temple gate, knocked on the door to ask for the way, the temple Zhu persuaded him not to make a time, so as not to disturb Tian Qian chanting.

Hearing that Tian Qian was chanting in the temple, Shi Xianzhong laughed and said, "Needless to say, who is she angry with and hiding here crying." ”

The person who came was Shi Xianzhong, Tian Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she and Shi Xianzhong grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, the two had no guesses, and the relationship was unusually close.

When the explosion sounded, Tian Ji'an was drinking a banquet in Yacheng, drinking too much wine and sitting unsteadily, so he let the three sturdy concubines surround him on the left, right, and back sides, and there were meat pads to defend himself wherever he went.

When the ground shook the house, everyone fled for their lives, the table pulled overturned, the cups and plates were in a mess, seeing everyone rushing to the wolves, Tian Ji'an clapped his hands and laughed, and after everyone found out that it was a false alarm, they returned it one after another.

Tian Ji'an wanted to punish each of them with a jar of wine, he untied his sword and handed it to his nephew Tian Congcong, declaring that if anyone wasted a drop, he would ask the magistrate to poke a hole in his body and take ten drops of blood to compensate, and he should not take more, and whoever took one more drop of blood would take a head to compensate.

When everyone heard this, they asked Jiang Shize, the housekeeper of Tianfu, for help, and Jiang Shi asked for a bribe on the spot, and when the money was enough, he waved his hand and asked his family to replace the big altar containing wine with a small altar the size of a fist.

Rao is like this, and there is still a shallow amount of stabbing.
