The matter of the clouds made Qin Xuan toss and turn, and he couldn't sleep at night. As soon as you close your eyes, the shadows of the clouds will come uninvited. When I opened my eyes, there was a faint soft sound of clouds in my ears. Qin Xuan was so depressed that he even improvised poems and chatted to pass the time. Heart: When will the lovesickness fade, and when will the long night dawn? The lonely cold wind knocked on the window and made the spiritual platform restless.

Sleepless all night, when the sky was about to brighten, Qin Xuan simply got up directly, leaned on the chair next to the stove, held a wine glass, and borrowed wine to eliminate his sorrows! I don't know how many cups I have to eat, Qin Xuan only felt a fever all over his body, and the tedious and depressing things were finally left behind.

After a brief freshening, he crossed his hands on his cotton sleeves and walked on the snow in a depressed manner, squeaking with the snow as he stepped on it.

Walking to the gate of the house, Qian Ruyu's weak and slightly hurried voice came from behind him. "Brother Xuan—"

Qin Xuan looked back and saw Qian Ruyu wearing a plain skirt, running towards him with broken steps. Spiritlessly, he casually asked, "Yu'er, is there something wrong?" If it's all right, I'm going to go out for a walk! ”

Qian Ruyu Xu ran a little hurriedly, and when she arrived in front of Qin Xuan, she didn't stop, and when she stumbled, she was about to fall to the ground. Seeing this, Qin Xuan rushed over with an arrow step, stabilized Qian Ruyu, and reprimanded slightly: "The snow has not melted yet, you should be careful when walking!" ”

Although Qin Xuan had some reproach, when he arrived in Qian Ruyu's ears, there was only a strong feeling of concern left, and his heart was like honey. The smooth and charming face was slightly flushed, and the ruddy cherry mouth slowly opened: "Got it, Brother Xuan!" He nodded solemnly as he spoke.

Qin Xuan suddenly noticed that Qian Ruyu was more handsome than usual today, and he couldn't help but light up! After taking a closer look, I immediately saw the doorway, and it turned out that Yu'er was wearing makeup today. Qin Xuan stared at Qian Ruyu and quipped, "Yu'er, why are you dressed up so beautifully today?" ”

Qian Ruyu stretched out her slender jade fingers, brushed the bun around her ear, and said coquettishly: "Brother Xuan, don't you like it?" ”

Qin Xuan's wine surged, hugged Qian Ruyu, laughed affectionately, and said, "I like it, how can Brother Xuan not like Yu'er!" ”

When Qian Ruyu heard this, she couldn't help but bow her head shyly, and said softly: "Brother Xuan, it's better for Yu'er to go out with you!" Seeing that the New Year is approaching, let's go to the temple to burn pillar incense! ”

The eager expression in Qian Ruyu's eyes made Qin Xuan unable to refuse, and nodded slightly: "Okay, I don't know where there is a temple in Chang'an City!" As he spoke, he let go of Qian Ruyu, bent his right arm slightly, and signaled that Qian Ruyu was ringing.

Qian Ruyu was slightly stunned, and then happily grabbed Qin Xuan's arm, Liu Ye bent his eyebrows and raised slightly, his delicate lips pursed slightly, and two dimple flowers bloomed on his cheeks. After a moment, he chuckled and said: "Listen to Juan'er, through the gate of the West Courtyard, walk a few feet away, there is a Shengye Temple, although it is not very lively, but it should be able to incense!" ”

Qin Xuan pulled Qian Ruyu and turned around and said simply: "Let's go, let's go to the incense!" ”

The Shengye Temple, which is lightly covered with snow, looks a little vicissitudes, and the dilapidated temple door is open. Before he could walk in, Qin Xuan saw a monk wielding a broom to sweep away the snow. The bluestone-paved ground has long been swept out of a path.

When the two walked into the temple gate, the monk stopped, put down the broom, put his hands together, and bowed his chin and said: "Amitabha, if the two donors are incense and ask for wishes, it is better to go to the Baosha Temple in Chongrenfang, or the Longxing Temple in Zhengfang, where there are many monks, and the Buddha's light is shining, and they will be protected by the Buddha!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he secretly said in his heart: Is this monk having an enmity with the abbot of the temple, otherwise why would he still drive pilgrims outside? took a step forward and said with a smile: "What the master said is not good, don't you hear the compassion of my Buddha and sit forever in the hearts of those who sincerely worship the Buddha?" Why do you have to be so cumbersome, and you have to pick up the temple to be protected by the Buddha! ”

When the monk heard Qin Xuan's words, he was slightly stunned, and then gave another salute, smiled slightly, and said: "What the donor said is extremely true, sincerely to the Buddha, why do you need to make a special trip to this temple to offer incense?" ”

Qin Xuan was suddenly a little overwhelmed by the question, his face, which was still smiling, instantly became a little dull, he looked the monk up and down, and said in his heart: This monk is very good at talking! After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: "The words of the master, I dare not agree with the next, although I am sincere to the Buddha, I will inevitably be blessed by the Buddha, but I have nothing to do, go to the pillar incense, and talk about the respect for my Buddha, there should be no mistake!" ”

The monk still looked calm and relaxed, which made Qin Xuan a little unsteady, Xu was guilty of alcohol, gave birth to a competitive heart, and said: "Hasn't the master heard of Master Xuanzang?" Fortunately, he went to Tianzhu alone, Nalanda Temple to obtain Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, just to bring the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang back to Middle Earth. If you don't have this sincerity, why go to Tianzhu? ”

When the monk heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses and mutter: "I never thought that there would be people who knew about Master Xuanzang!" ”

The monk's expression was a little gloomy, Qin Xuan also said that it was his own words that said to his heart, and he stood in place, looking at the monk with a smile, as if he was demonstrating.

After a while, the monk shook his head slightly and said, "Does the donor know the process of Master Xuanzang's westward journey?" ”

Qin Xuan's eyes widened slightly, and he said in his heart: How do I know this, can I know that Tang Seng Journey to the West, or thanks to the blessing of "Journey to the West", let me say it in detail, what can I say! He smiled awkwardly and replied, "I don't know!" ”

I saw the monk stretch out his hand and pointed to the temple lobby, and said calmly: "Xu is a poor monk and the two donors are related, it is better to come in with the poor monk, and let the poor monk and the two talk about Master Xuanzang!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he drooped his head and said in his heart: I'm just here to burn a root of incense, can I tell me the story of Tang Seng!

Seeing that Qin Xuan didn't move for a long time, Qian Ruyu stretched out her hand and gently tugged at Qin Xuan's clothes, and persuaded softly: "Brother Xuan, why don't you go in and listen!" ”

Walk into the temple lobby and sit cross-legged on top of the futon. The monk raised his head slightly, as if reminiscing, and a trace of gloom inadvertently flashed between his eyes. "In the first year of Zhenguan, Master Xuanzang's above table was refuted, taking advantage of the catastrophe of that year, His Majesty relaxed the management of monks and took his apprentice Zu Haixi out of Yangguan."

After a pause, he continued: "Passing through Guazhou, Master Xuanzang took another disciple Shi Pantuo, trekked through mountains and rivers, went through ups and downs, and arrived in the territory of the Western Turks at the beginning of the third year of Zhenguan, because the border was unstable at that time, the three were imprisoned by the Turks. It wasn't until a few months later that the Turks relaxed their vigilance and the three escaped! ”

The monk sighed and said, "Zu Hai saw that there were many difficulties, so he had the heart to retreat, and abandoned Master Xuanzang at night and quietly returned to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he said in his heart: I don't want Tang Seng to have such a bumpy experience! Thinking of Zu Hai, he couldn't help but become interested, and asked, "Master, I don't know what happened to that Zu Hai?" ”

The monk smiled bitterly a few times and said, "Don't hide it from the donor, the poor monk is the ancestor of Master Xuanzang!" ”

Qin Xuan was suddenly a little stunned, and saw a trace of remorse on the monk's face, and asked softly, "Master Zuhai, don't you regret quitting the westward journey at that time?" ”

"What if you regret it? I'm afraid that at this moment, Master Xuanzang should have arrived at Tianzhu Nalanda Temple a long time ago. Hey, the poor monk secretly thinks that the master will not return for a long time, and he is afraid that his majesty will be held accountable for smuggling out of the country! Zu Hai sighed.

Qin Xuan hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and asked: "Master Zuhai is afraid that he has thought too much, His Majesty is now benevolent and virtuous, and he rejected Master Xuanzang's above table that year, I am afraid that he is worried about the turmoil on the border and the disaster of life!" ”

"This-" Zu Hai was a little moved, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Qin Xuan got up and said with a smile: "Master can think about it, if you feel that you can't live with the commander, it is better to go west again, go and tell the situation to the situation, and take the commander back!" Seeing that Zu Hai was a little distracted, Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, Master Zu Hai, now let's make incense and make a wish!" ”

Qin Xuan never expected that his unintentional words would really make Zuhai get up and travel west, and even arrived at Nalanda Temple five years later, rounded with Xuanzang, and returned to China with many Buddhist scriptures in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

Out of the temple, Qin Xuan felt that it was still early, and said in his heart: It's rare to accompany Yu'er out once, it's better to go to the East Market again! Thinking of this, he proposed: "Yu'er, Brother Xuan will accompany you shopping!" ”

Qian Ruyu lowered her head, as if she had thought of something, raised her head again to look at Qin Xuan, smiled slightly, and nodded: "If Brother Xuan is not afraid of people gossiping, Yu'er is willing!" ”

Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Why don't I want to, Yu'er has been so good recently, what's wrong with accompanying you shopping!" ”

The two walked on the road, Qin Xuan felt the soft delicate body of Qian Ruyu beside him, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Qian Ruyu on the side noticed Qin Xuan's subtle changes, let go of the hand holding Qin Xuan's arm, and pouted: "Brother Xuan, why do you keep letting me hold you like this, it's so embarrassing!" ”

Qin Xuan looked sideways, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and muttered: "This stupid girl, holding me, is like my woman!" ”

"Brother Xuan, what did you say?" Qin Xuan said too low, Qian Ruyu didn't hear it clearly, blinked his eyes, and asked.

"Well, it's nothing ......," Qin Xuan said embarrassedly.

Qian Ruyu remembered that Qin Xuan had often teased herself before, pouted, and said coquettishly: "Brother Xuan, aren't you thinking of any bad ideas again, tricking me?" ”

Qin Xuan put on an expression of "I am innocent" and looked at Qian Ruyu pitifully. "How can Yu'er think so much about your brother Xuan? When did your brother Xuan play tricks on you! ”

Qian Ruyu was immediately amused by Qin Xuan's funny expression and giggled.

The two of them fought and went to the East Market. Although it will be the New Year in two days, you can still see a sparse number of people shopping. Because Qin Xuan accompanied him shopping, Qian Ruyu was in a very happy mood, stretched out his hand and pointed to a rouge shop in front of him, smiled, and said, "Brother Xuan, accompany me to buy rouge!" ”

Qin Xuan wanted to reply, but before the word "good" could come out, a hurried voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hurry up!" Quick—"
