The path through the dense forest is much steeper than the avenue, but because it is rarely visited, the scenery is not bad compared to the avenue.

The occasional sound of knowing is no longer the harshness of midsummer, and there are squirrels on the pine trees beside the road holding pine cones from the trees, and from time to time birds are startled and flapping their wings and flying out.

Xu Mingyuan carried Zeng Qingyi on his back and walked down the mountain, and the dead branches in Zeng Qingyi's hands crossed the branches on the side of the road, but he didn't deliberately whip those branches and leaves.

Xu Mingyuan carried Zeng Qingyi behind his back, and the words of the two were a lot less, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. But compared to ordinary people, the two of them reacted normally. After all, men and women have been instilled with things for I don't know how many years, and the two grew up together, but they didn't have too many ideas about that.

Zeng Qingyi, who was lying on Xu Mingyuan's back, gently put the dead branch in his hand and fell to the ground, and then asked softly: "Ben Mingyuan, will you come back after you go to Chang'an?" ”

Xu Mingyuan was slightly stunned, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, it may take a long time to go back." ”

The two were silent again.

After a while, Zeng Qingyi continued: "I don't go to teach and listen to the lectures, I can tell those lessons word for word." ”

"Aren't you more bored, then?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile, he knew that Zeng Qingyi would go to the lecture just to kill time, and she didn't need the imperial examination, even if she studied better than the students in the academy, what was the use.

"But it's not, you're going to Chang'an, the little white rabbit is also going to Chang'an, the little fat man is not going to the academy, the academy is really boring." Zeng Qingyi nodded and said, looking a little lonely.

Xu Mingyuan listened to Zeng Qingyi's words, and he was also a little unbearable, going to Chang'an is a little different from traveling in the past, not every year he will come back to live for a few months, maybe he will go out for a few years, more than ten years. Zeng Qingyi has not been able to play with brothers and sisters in other rooms of the Zeng family since she was a child, and Bai Lingxuan has the best relationship except for Xu Mingyuan. In the past, they could bully and bully Zhou Binjie and tease Bai Molou, but now that the two of them are gone, it is really much more boring.

"When I'm gone, I'll give you as many of my books as you want." Xu Mingyuan couldn't make any promises, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say this.

"Really?" Zeng Qingyi's eyes lit up, and they dimmed again, "My mother said that she missed me, but I can't rest assured that my grandfather." ”

Xu Mingyuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to solve it. Zeng Qingyi grew up in the academy with her husband Zeng, while her father and mother were in Chang'an. Zeng Qingyi will go to Chang'an once every two years, so Zeng Qingyi has not been to Chang'an for two years.

"How is Chang'an?" Zeng Qingyi had to make her own decision, so Xu Mingyuan tried to change the topic.

"Chang'an, that's it, it's bigger than dozens of Shuzhou cities, but in my heart it's still not as good as a Shuzhou city. There are a lot of people with eyes on the top of their heads, the last time I went to Chang'an, my mother told me a lot, and I also saw a lot at the banquet, so I didn't want to go to Chang'an. Zeng Qingyi shook his head, his voice slightly low.

Xu Mingyuan exhaled lightly, but his hand clenched unconsciously, it seemed that Zeng Qingyi's mother was also looking for Zeng Qingyi's mother-in-law. Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is full of princes and nobles. With the door of the Ministry of Officials, as well as Zeng Qingyi's appearance and knowledge, I think the threshold of the Zeng family should be broken by the matchmaker.

"Grandpa said that I should go or not, if I don't want to go, no one will force me." Zeng Qingyi said softly, but she was also a little confused.

Master Zeng is clear about Zeng Qingyi's love for Xu Mingyuan, if Zeng Qingyi is unwilling, then Zeng Shangshu's decision is not counted.

However, Zeng Qingyi is already seventeen years old, and it is already the age when it is time to leave the cabinet, so Zeng Shangshu and Mrs. Zeng should also be in a hurry. How can there be parents in the world who don't love their children, they will definitely help her find a husband who is the right person and has both talents and appearances.

Xu Mingyuan didn't know what to say, and he was not qualified to say anything.

However, when he really thought that the girl who had been carrying him for more than ten years was going to marry a wife, Xu Mingyuan's mood was inevitably low. Some of them are blocked, and they are very uncomfortable.

The two went down the mountain in silence, and when they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Zeng Qingyi got down from Xu Mingyuan's back. This may be the last time Xu Mingyuan will carry Zeng Qingyi, if Zeng Qingyi re-enters Chang'an, how can she refuse her father's kindness and stay alone in the boudoir.

The donkey cart wiped leisurely in the direction of Shuzhou City, Zeng Qingyi sat in the carriage, and Xu Mingyuan sat on the wheel, leaning on the carriage. The atmosphere was a little sentimental because of the parting, because Zeng Qingyi's previous words were even heavier.

There was nothing to say all the way, the donkey cart stopped at the side gate of the academy, looking at Zeng Qingyi who got off the carriage with two books in his arms, Xu Mingyuan smiled and said: "I will leave for Chang'an at the beginning of next month, do you want to see me off?" ”

"In the past, you and the Taoist went to Yunyou, in order to prevent me from following, the two of you never wanted me to send it, so I won't send you this time." Zeng Qingyi also swept away the gloomy color, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

Xu Mingyuan turned his head to the side with a smile, got into the carriage, waved his hand behind him, gently pulled the reins, and the donkey cart slowly drove away.

Xu Mingyuan didn't say a word of promise from beginning to end, and Zeng Qingyi didn't need the slightest mercy.

They are all proud people, but they are not yet people of the same world.

If there is fate, maybe Chang'an will see you again.

The donkey cart returned to the foot of Micang Mountain, Xu Mingyuan cut the grass for Lao Huang, and sat on the side until the sun went down before going up the mountain, and his mood had regained peace.

Back on the mountain, after a few simple stir-fried dishes, Xu Mingyuan told his master about the two masters and apprentices he met today. These two people gave Xu Mingyuan a very different feeling, and they were a little different from the monks he had met in the past.

Qing Xuan ate half a bowl of rice and then stopped eating, picked up the wine gourd and poured a few sips, and said in surprise: "The old monk Xuanjue has never accepted apprentices before, I heard that he received a natural Bodhisattva, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect him to really pick up the treasure." ”

"Born Bodhisattva?" Xu Mingyuan was a little puzzled.

"I've told you to read more books, now I know that my knowledge is shallow." Qing Xuan rolled his eyes and said, and took another sip of wine before continuing: "This little monk is naturally enlightened and has a pure heart, and he can be treated as a treasure by the old monk Xuanjue, and he will definitely be a great figure in the future." ”

Xu Mingyuan nodded thoughtfully, the Bodhisattva is also known as Jue Yousentient, that is, a person who has been enlightened, and takes it as his responsibility to enlighten sentient beings. Ji Shi is a naturally enlightened person, no wonder he can be accepted as a disciple by Xuan Jue, he has such a high rank at a young age.

"Changle Temple and the two pagoda temple of the size of the controversy after hundreds of years of endless, Changle Temple pay attention to the consciousness of him, want to spend the world, is for the Mahayana Buddhism, the two pagoda temple to maintain the precepts of self-cultivation, only to seek self, for the Hinayana Buddhism. In the past hundreds of years, the two pagoda temples have produced several first-class monks who have directly entered the Arhat realm, and Changle Temple has also produced several great bodhisattvas in the world, which can be said to have their own spring and autumn. Qing Xuan said with a smile, suddenly thought of something, clapped his palms and said: "If this little monk has an epiphany and goes straight to the Arhat realm, then these two families will be lively." ”

Regarding Master's strange statement, Xu Mingyuan can only be the wind in his ears. The Luohan realm is the highest realm practiced by the monks of the Erta Temple, and it is said to correspond to the first-class masters on the rivers and lakes. If the world is practicing Mahayana Buddhism, even if it is an epiphany, how can it be possible to enter the Arhat realm.

However, if it is really as Qing Xuan said, a monk who cultivates Mahayana Buddhism enters the Arhat realm, I am afraid that both temples will be lively.

After washing the dishes, Xu Mingyuan also entered the room early, and first took out the "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra" and read it carefully, although he didn't understand it all, his mood was indeed a lot calmer, and he had some understanding. Then Xu Mingyuan took out his pen and ink and copied two pages of scriptures, and then fell asleep.

In the following days, Xu Mingyuan stayed in the mountains most of the time, occasionally went to Dongcheng to help people write family letters, and began to let Guo Cailing start to help the neighbors write family letters.

At first, everyone still didn't believe how the little girl's words could be written, but after seeing it, they all said that Xu Mingyuan should go to Chang'an with confidence, and Guo Cailing would help write it in the future.

Xu Mingyuan also picked a lot of books to send to Guo Cailing, most of them were copies of some inscriptions, which he had collected over the years, which was Guo Cailing's favorite book.

And Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui were also angry, and with a solid foundation, they both passed the freshman entrance examination of the academy, and they really entered the academy.

Xu Mingyuan had nothing to give, so he also picked out a few books from the bookcase that recorded various places in Dawan and gave them to the two, which also made the two happy.

During this period, Xu Mingyuan also drank wine with Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao, and said that the two were also on the list of the hospital exam, but they could still meet in Chang'an.

These two and Xu Mingyuan don't have a deep friendship, but their hearts are not bad, at least they are not people who fall into the ground. Due to their family background, they must not be able to stand on Xu Mingyuan's side like Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie, so they can only say that they have some friendship but not friendship.

Bai Lingxuan also took Zeng Qingyi to the mountains a few times, and she was still cheeky to move books, except for a few solitary books that Xu Mingyuan really liked, the rest of Xu Mingyuan also moved with her.

After all, Bai Lingxuan is Bai Molou's younger sister, and Zhou Binjie is so infatuated, and she is still Zeng Qingyi's best close friend, Xu Mingyuan is not easy to provoke her.

Zhou Binjie's textile workshop and embroidery workshop have been almost prepared, and the rest of the recruitment and operation are not so busy, so he can often come to Micang Mountain to practice boxing and listen to Xuan's nagging.

That set of demon fists has been practiced vigorously, but this style is okay to scare people now, and if you really want to encounter a little real kung fu, you can only run.

However, it is true that as Qingxuan said, Zhou Binjie does have some talent in practicing Demon Suppression Boxing, and according to his current progress rate, if he does not slack off in the future, he may really be able to practice some fame.

On this day, Zhou Binjie went to Micang Mountain again, and after practicing a few sets of demon boxing, he took off his sweaty coat and smiled at Xu Mingyuan, who was sitting on the bluestone under the tree and reading a book, and said, "Brother Yuan, didn't you promise Miss Su to listen to her play tunes before?" The injury has healed early, I saw her a little sad last time, don't you think you lied to her? ”
