Chapter 282: Zen Forest Vows (Part II)
Thanks to the concerted efforts of all the monks, most of the pilgrims in the monastery have left, and although there are still a few pilgrims, most of them hide in the corners of the small hall and are not noticed.
However, only in the Daxiong Treasure Hall was a young man who was not a pilgrim but a tourist, who ignored the urging of the monks and carefully watched the shape of the eighteen Arhats with his hands behind his back.
This tall and tall young man is naturally Zhang Xuan, Lu Qing gave him a note through Ah Yuan, telling him that he would come to the Zenlin Temple this morning to make incense and make a vow, in fact, he mustered up the courage to take the initiative to invite him to the temple to see, Lu Qing can put down the girl's reserve and take the initiative to invite himself to come, how can he Zhang Xuan not come?
Today is also the first day of the opening of the Heroes Club, but today and tomorrow are some low-level generals whose weapons have not yet reached the standard for elimination competitions, and they have nothing to do with Zhang Xuan, and they can't attract any attention.
"This son, you've been here for almost half an hour, please leave!" The old monk persuaded Zhang Xuan to leave with a bitter face.
Zhang Xuan wore a blue fine linen shirt today, with a leather belt around his waist and a gauze hat on his head, which is also the most common attire of the common people of the Great Sui.
However, Zhang Xuan's tall and tall figure still makes him very different from ordinary civilians, that kind of outstanding temperament, that kind of momentum without anger makes the monks dare not speak ill of him, and can only beg each other.
Zhang Xuan glanced at the old monk and said with a smile: "I like the Arhats here very much, and I also like this Buddhist hall, maybe one day I will also worship here, and I will also become your honored guest, do you want to drive me like this?" ”
The old monk smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your kindness, but because there will be an official eunuch and a family member to offer incense immediately." It's really inconvenient for Childe to be here, or invite Childe to the meditation room to rest, and wait for the female guests to leave, you can visit Childe for as long as you want! ”
The other party had pleaded to this extent, and Zhang Xuan was also a little unbearable, he smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go somewhere else. The meditation room was exempted, and I walked around the temple without affecting the incense of the female guests. ”
The old monk sighed in his heart, it seemed that this was the biggest concession made by this person, and he was helpless, so he had to clasp his hands and say: "Please feel free to Gongzi!" ”
Zhang Xuan laughed, turned around and left the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and walked in the direction of the east bell tower. Lu Yuanjun's daughter should not go to the bell tower.
At this time, a little monk hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "The Lu family's carriage has arrived, and the abbot asked Master to go and meet him!" ”
The old monk was startled and hurriedly ran towards the gate
Outside the gate, more than a dozen horseback riders escorted a carriage and slowly stopped in front of the temple, and in the carriage, Lu Qing looked at the temple gate through the curtain of the car window. Her heart was full of joy and nervousness.
The joy is that the mother was unwell and did not come with her. What worries her the most won't happen again, and it's not so much nervous as a little shy, she is about to see Zhang Lang, what should she say? Will he look down on himself for inviting him?
The little maid next to her, Ah Yuan, pursed her lips and smiled, today the girl got up before dawn. It took an hour to put on makeup, her hair was combed into a single ring and looked at the fairy bun, the jasper hairpin was inserted obliquely, her thin eyebrows were like new willows, and her face was slightly powdered. The lips are dotted with pomegranate red, and the long neck is as white as fat.
She is wearing a five-halo Luo Chun shirt on her upper body, a monofilament red silk on her shoulders, a jasper bracelet on her wrist, and a yellow Luo silver mud skirt underneath.
Ah Yuan knew that the girl had been looking forward to this day for a long time, so when this day came, she would go to see her lover in the most beautiful appearance.
"Girl, it's here!" Ah Yuan reminded in a low voice.
Lu Qing nodded lightly, and asked in a low voice a little nervously, "Ah Yuan, do you think he will come?" ”
"Rest assured, girl! He will definitely come. ”
Having said that, Ah Yuan was also a little nervous in her heart, and she secretly prayed in her heart, "Childe, you must come!" Otherwise, it will really live up to Miss Lu's affection. ’
The car door opened, Ah Yuan, who was sitting next to the car door, stepped out of the carriage first, and carefully helped the girl down, today Lu Qing only brought Ah Yuan and a maid, and the rest of the maids and women did not bring any of them, and she was not worried about the entourage, so she could let them wait outside the temple.
At this time, Master Hongzhi, the abbot who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him, clasped his palms and saluted: "Amitabha, welcome Miss Lu to come to the small temple to offer incense." ”
Lu Qing nodded and said apologetically: "Originally, my mother was going to come with me today, but my mother was unwell today, so I had to come alone, which caused trouble for Dashuai." ”
"Where! Where! It's not a hassle at all, Miss Lu, please come in. ”
Lu Qing immediately ordered his entourage to wait outside the monastery, and Ah Yuan supported him and walked towards the monastery accompanied by the abbot.......
Inside the gate of the temple, Cui Wenxiang tidied up his robe, he was very nervous, desperately thinking about what excuse to use when he saw his cousin, he was afraid that she would not be safe, but she brought more than a dozen family members, and safety did not seem to be an excuse.
It is said that the Cui family is also enshrined in the Chanlin Temple, but it is not right, everyone knows that the Cui family is enshrined in the White Horse Temple, even if you want to restore the incense, you should also go to the White Horse Temple.
In a hurry, Cui Wenxiang suddenly thought of an excellent excuse, he came to pass the word for his aunt, anyway, his aunt was definitely willing to fulfill this lie for him, Cui Wenxiang found an excuse, found the bottom in his heart, and hurriedly walked to the gate in high spirits.
At this time, Master Hongzhi, the abbot, walked into the temple with Lu Qing, and saw Cui Wenxiang with a smile on his face, Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing here?" ”
Cui Wenxiang hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm here to pass the word for my aunt, and my aunt wants me to bring a message to my cousin, so that my cousin can go directly to the Tiansi Pavilion wine shop after finishing the incense." ”
Cui Wenxiang felt that he had a very good reason here, maybe he could have a drink with his cousin.
But Ah Yuan, who was beside Lu Qing, muttered, "The rumor is still dressed so neatly, and he actually arrived before us, what kind of reason is this?" ”
Lu Qing's pretty face sank suddenly, and she suddenly understood why her mother refused to come to offer incense, which was clearly arranged by her mother in advance, so that this person would wait for her here.
At this moment, Lu Qing's heart suddenly pounded, and she saw a person standing on the side of the path not far away, it was Zhang Lang, who she had been thinking about day and night, looking at herself calmly, silently turning around and walking towards the temple.
Lu Qing immediately realized that Zhang Lang had misunderstood herself, she was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "General Zhang, please stay!" ”
She ignored Cui Wenxiang beside her, pulled up her long skirt and ran along the path.
As soon as Cui Wenxiang turned around, he also saw Zhang Xuan, his face suddenly changed greatly, he took a few steps back, his face was suddenly embarrassed and angry, and instantly turned into the color of pig liver.
Zhang Xuan stopped, looked back at Lu Qing, and a smile bloomed on his face, he just didn't want to embarrass Lu Qing, but he didn't expect Lu Qing to run over to chase him, so desperate, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he was a little ashamed, he should take the initiative to meet it.
"Miss Lu, you go to incense first! I'm waiting for you here. Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
Lu Qing bit his lip lightly and said in a low voice, "The general can accompany me!" ”
"Good! I'll accompany you to the incense. ”
At this time, Cui Wenxiang's teeth clucked, he was so angry that his face was deformed, he stomped his foot fiercely, and rushed out like a gust of wind.
The abbot next to him, Master Hongzhi, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the devil is born from the heart, good!" Wonderful! ”
Zhang Xuan accompanied Lu Qing to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, followed by the little maid Ah Yuan and a group of monks more than ten steps behind, Lu Qing quietly glanced at Zhang Xuan and explained to him: "I didn't know that my cousin was also here, I didn't call him at all." ”
"I know!"
Zhang Xuan smiled: "If he accompanies you, he should come with you." ”
"Maybe his mother told him that his mother was going to come today, but she didn't."
"Is it because of Cui Wenxiang?"
Lu Qing nodded lightly, lowered his head and whispered, "I told you about the relationship between the Cui and Lu families, but I never want to." ”
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from behind, and someone shouted angrily: "Where is the shameless thief?" ”
Everyone was stunned, and when they turned around, they saw more than a dozen of Lu Qing's entourage rushing towards this side with knives. (To be continued......)
