Originally, I thought that soon after returning from the Li Mansion, the Shen family should send someone over to withdraw from the family.

The An family waited for two days, but no one from the Shen family came, and no one even mentioned the festival between Ji Yanning and Mrs. Shen.

Is this the end of the Shen family?

An Shi felt that it was a little impossible, but she knew that Mrs. Shen loved her son like her life, and she was very precious on weekdays, if she couldn't get used to Ji Yanning, she would definitely not want Ji Yanning to be her daughter-in-law.

Ji Yanning felt that this result was expected, although she thought that if Mrs. Shen could let people come to quit her family, she could save a lot of trouble.

But when he thought of talking to Shen Qingyi about this matter in the Zuixiang Building that day, his tone of reluctance to withdraw his relatives made Ji Yanning feel that with this matter, Shen Qingyi could not come to withdraw his relatives so easily.

But it doesn't matter, Ji Yanning's withdrawal from his relatives is not in a hurry at this time.

Four bones had been found, and one was buried around the temple, and she felt it was time to get it back.

Early this morning, after Ji Yanning washed, he went to Huguo Temple for the reason of praying.

Because she didn't want others to recognize herself, Ji Yanning wore a veil this time, but just dressed up as a girl from an ordinary small family, wearing pearls' usual clothes, combing her hair in a simple bun, and going out with pearls.

From Liufu to Huguo Temple outside the city, the carriage did not go fast, and it took more than an hour.

When Ji Yanning got off the carriage, it was still early, and there were not many pilgrims who came to Huguo Temple.

When I remembered the sound of chanting, I smelled a faint smell of incense on the tip of my nose, and when I looked over, the little novice in the temple was sweeping the steps with a broom.

Ji Yanning walked up the stairs and walked into the Huguo Temple with the pearl.

Pearl took a few sticks of incense and stepped forward and handed them to Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning put the incense in his hand into the lotus lamp and lit it, walked to the furnace on the large round field in the temple and inserted the incense, and pious hands folded and bowed.

After lighting the incense, Ji Yanning took the pearl to the back mountain in the temple.

Pearl looked at Ji Yanning with some puzzlement and asked, "Miss, don't you go into the Buddha hall to worship the Buddha and the Bodhisattva?"

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "It's okay if you don't use it." ”

In the pure place of Buddhism, a person like her whose hands are stained with too much blood, even if she prays sincerely, she can probably only be a wicked person.

Ji Yanning was no stranger to Huguo Temple, so he was familiar with the road and soon went around to the back mountain.

Ji Yanning is hiding her bones, it should be in the back mountain, she came here today to determine the place first.

It's just that this Huguo Temple is too big, and the back mountain is not small, and it takes a lot of time to walk around that circle, so Ji Yanning came over early.

It was already mid to late May, and the weather was inevitably a little hot, and Pearl held an umbrella to block the sun for Ji Yanning, still sweating all over.

Ji Yanning wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, took the umbrella in Pearl's hand, fanned the wind with a handkerchief, and sat in the pavilion on the side of the road with Pearl's hand.

Pearl looked at a dense forest not far away, sighed lightly, and said, "Miss, let's rest for a while, this place is too big, I'm afraid it may not be able to finish in a day." ”

Ji Yanning sat on the railing, letting the cool and comfortable wind blow on his face, and said indifferently: "It's okay, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”

They were sitting in the pavilion, and occasionally a few monks would come over and ask if they needed help, Ji Yanning just shook his head and thanked them for their kindness.

Seeing that the sun was getting more and more intense, Ji Yanning did not continue to walk forward, but chose to rest for a while.

It's just that when they were resting, Ji Yanning saw a monk who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old not far away slowly walking from the foot of the mountain and walking into the pavilion where they were.

Ji Yanning was slightly stunned, then got up and saluted the monk: "Master." ”

"Don't be polite. Abbot Qingxin glanced at Ji Yanning, bowed slightly, and said, "The weather is so hot, why doesn't the female benefactor rest in the temple? ”

Ji Yanning said: "Because I haven't been to this Huguo Temple before, I just want to enjoy the scenery here, the master doesn't have to worry, if the little girl is bored, she will naturally go back, there should be no beasts in this mountain, so it doesn't hurt." ”

The abbot of Qingxin said: "There are no beasts in the mountains, but there are things in this world that should be kept away from beasts. ”

Ji Yanning listened to his words and looked at him with some puzzlement.

She couldn't understand what was being said.

The abbot said: "The road ahead is not easy, and the old man advises the female benefactor to turn back as soon as possible." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and she bowed her head and said: "Thank you for the master's guidance, but whether this road is good or not, you have to experience it yourself to know that the little woman has never been a person who likes to retreat." ”

The abbot said: "Today's sun is in full bloom, and I am afraid that it is not suitable for female donors to travel. ”

Ji Yanning said indifferently: "I'm not afraid of wind and rain, what can I do with this little sun?"

The abbot listened to Ji Yanning's words, and just said: "Since the female donor has her own choice, it is inconvenient for the old man to intervene, the will of heaven is like this, it is difficult for people to change, I only hope that the female donor will not forget her original intention, so she can always be." ”

Ji Yanning bowed: "Thank you, abbot." ”

The abbot glanced at Ji Yanning, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence: "Go in the direction where the wind came." ”

He walked out of the pavilion and walked in the direction of the temple, and it didn't take long for him to disappear from Ji Yanning's field of vision.

Pearl was confused, looked back at Ji Yanning in confusion, and asked, "Miss, what does this master mean, let's not continue to move forward?"

Ji Yanning's gaze was retracted, and she looked up at a cloud floating in the sky, slowly covering the sun, and she said, "Let's continue walking." ”

Pearl was almost rested now, and when she heard her eldest lady say that she was leaving, she didn't continue to ask, but opened her umbrella to shade the eldest lady.

With that cloud, the sunlight finally stopped being so violent, Ji Yanning walked forward, and soon arrived at a dense bamboo forest.

Because of the shelter of the bamboo forest, even if you don't hold an umbrella, you won't be exposed to the sun, and occasionally the wind blows, blowing the bamboo forest rustling, and there is a cool feeling.

Pearl did not put away the umbrella in her hand, after all, although the bamboo forest was dense, there was still a dappled light that fell to the ground from time to time, swaying with the wind and leaves.

The two of them walked along the bamboo forest for a while, and it didn't take long for them to come to a fork in the road.

"Miss, where are you going?" Pearl looked at these two paths, and was a little unable to choose for a while.

Ji Yanning's eyes fluttered, and he remembered the abbot's words just now, what did he mean, walking in the direction of the wind?

She stood still, feeling the direction of the wind and blowing her hair up.

"Left. Ji Yanning said.

Pearl had no choice but to follow, and followed Ji Yanning to the path on the left.

The road wasn't as smooth as the one on the right, but you could tell someone had been there.

After walking for a while, I seemed to hear the sound of the stream, and the sound of gurgling water was particularly pleasant in this quiet mountain forest.

It's just that they were just about to step forward, but they found that there were people on the edge of the stream opposite, and it seemed that there were quite a few.

"Miss......"

Pearl was just about to speak, but Ji Yanning stretched out his hand to block his mouth, and shhhed softly, telling her not to speak.

Although I don't know why the eldest lady didn't let her speak, Pearl has always been an alert person, so she can only nod her head and don't make another sound.

Ji Yanning took Pearl's hand and walked to the side to hide it.

Because she could see that the people on the other side of the stream were the guards in the palace.

Although they passed on civilian clothes, the sharp-eyed Ji Yanning could recognize them from their boots, and those were Jin Wuwei.

But Ji Yanning didn't understand, how could Jin Wuwei be here?

Who's nearby?

Ji Yanning stood behind a big tree with the pearl, wanting to wait for them to leave before leaving, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, the other party did not look like he wanted to leave at all.

I've been walking for so long in this scorching sun, and although I've rested twice, Pearl's legs are already a little sore, not to mention that I can only stand now, I can't make a sound, and I don't know when I have to wait.

Seeing that Pearl seemed to be a little tired, Ji Yanning looked around and happened to see a dilapidated thatched house not far away.

She patted Pearl on the shoulder, then pointed to the thatched house not far away.

She took Pearl's hand and walked in the direction of the thatched house, trying to avoid Jin Wuwei's vision.

But just as they were about to reach the dilapidated thatched hut, Pearl's feet accidentally stepped on a small pit, and suddenly stepped on the air, and her body almost fell.

She exclaimed in a low voice, thinking that she would fall, but Ji Yanning held her arm tightly.

"Who's there!"

A Jin Wuwei noticed the abnormality, and without saying a word, he quickly crossed the stream with two people, surrounding Ji Yanning and Pearl.

Ji Yanning picked up the pearl, looked at these Jin Wuwei, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "We accidentally got lost and came here, and there is no malice. ”

A few Jin Wuwei looked at the two of them, like a pair of powerless master servants.

The three Jin Wuwei looked at each other and did not speak.

"We'll leave now. Ji Yanning opened his mouth and said, "Please make it convenient for a few big brothers, don't embarrass our master and servant." ”

Among them, Jin Wuwei was about to put away the knife, but was stopped by another person and said, "Who knows if they have ulterior motives?!"

There are too many assassins nowadays, and it is not uncommon to disguise yourself as a little girl.

"But this is the Gokokuji Temple. Someone said, "Why don't you go and ask your master first." ”

Ji Yanning lowered his head and listened to their words, and did not argue for half a sentence.

She was carrying Yuan Wu and Jinhe, but there were about a dozen Jin Wuwei with strong martial arts on the opposite side, if the two sides were opposed, she and Pearl would be a burden, and it would be impossible to escape without leaving a trace.
