Chapter 383, Dharma (2)
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the yamen began to rest, worshiped the gods of heaven and earth according to the customs, and after the incense and firecrackers, the red seal was pasted, and they all began to take a holiday. There is no need to think about the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jingwei Battalion, and arrange for people to be on duty in the yamen, Helan Xue has no family, and will go to see it from time to time, if there is something, they can also go to the county lord's mansion at any time to find themselves, this is said to be a thousand ways and ten thousand, or thanks to the king of Xiaoliang, if he is a trouble-free, how can he use such precautions.
The day that Huici picked for Helan Xue was the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, and there was too much commotion in Helan Xue's mansion, and her appearance was about to recover, and there was really no other good way, so she could only use the excuse of ghosts and gods. As for how much the world can believe, this is uncontrollable.
The Qiu Shuang Zhai of the county lord's mansion is the center of the whole house, and it is also the location of the back study, the yard is not too big, except for a few main houses and wing rooms, the patio is a small pond, the water lilies are in full bloom in summer, don't become a scene, this study hides a secret passage, the Xie family was copied, and it was also entered, and all the children hidden in it were caught, and when Helan Xue lived in, she could also see the dark blood stains on the wall of the secret passage, and the tragic situation of the day could be seen. Helan Xue went in a few times and didn't find anything, presumably it was cleaned up early that year, that is, those courtyards and several rooms were also renovated and cleaned by the Ministry of Industry later.
On that day, Helan Xue stood in the secret passage with a candle, looking at the mottled bloodstains, and did not move for a long time. In front of me are those brothers and sisters playing together, the youngest child is younger than himself, but none of them escaped the catastrophe, how did they do it?
Slaughter all over the house! There was a trace of disgust and hatred on her face, this is the imperial society, the world that she is extremely disgusted with and defending.
She remembered the things she heard before she fled, the grandmother of the Xie family fought hard with a pair of children in the siege, and finally lost the enemy and was beheaded by the violent corpse, these years, she has long been one with the soul memory of the owner of this body, and she has also fully accepted Xiao Ruixue's family affection, those who were once closely related to her, can always make her heartbroken.
At this time, she came to this secret passage again, the candle flame cast her shadow on the stone wall, looking a little thin, the country she protected was for the peace of the world, and it was the duty and destiny of the disciple of Jiuxiao, but was that person worth it? He killed his grandfather's entire family, and he had to pretend not to know to protect his country and his peace.
She suddenly shuddered, if one day the truth comes out, will she rebel? Or kill that man and avenge those who died in vain?
The breeze swept behind her, and a familiar smell came to the end of her nose, and then, a cloak fell on herself, Wei Peng had already turned to her, tightened the cloak, and reached out to rub it lightly on her head, and said softly: "It's late at night, it's cold, and I don't know how to wear more." ”
Helan Xue inserted the candlestick on the lamp trough on the stone wall, and the whole person was also thrown into Wei Peng's arms, her arms wrapped around his waist, her face was pressed against his chest, and her voice was a little low: "Ah Peng, if I find out the truth one day, what will I do?" This is your Wei family's country. ”
Wei Peng stroked her long hair and whispered in her ear: "If you want to retreat to the mountains and forests, I will accompany you to wander the world, if you ...... If you want to overturn the world, I will accompany you to be a rebel and a thief. ”
Helan Xue raised her face, those beautiful and peerless faces were a little bright under the candlelight, Wei Peng couldn't help but bow her head, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said, "Go back to sleep, Master Huici will come to do things for the Xie family tomorrow, and you have to get up early." ”
The two of them knew that on the one hand, the purpose of this ritual was to use this reason to restore Helan Xue's appearance, and on the other hand, they also wanted to make a transcendence for the Xie family, which was a big thorn in the hearts of the brothers Helan Xue and Yan Wu, this was the first year that Helan Xue came to the capital to live in the Hou Mansion mansion, and used this reason to make a good exceedance for his ancestors.
Wei Peng didn't go back to the palace this night, so he quietly stayed by Helan Xue's side, watching her sleep well, the person in his arms had already fallen asleep, Wei Peng only felt a trace of coolness through his bedclothes, he reached out and touched it lightly, Helan Xue's face was wet and cold, he sighed lightly, only in front of himself, she would be like a little woman, and she couldn't help crying in her sleep.
The next morning, when Helan Xue woke up, Wei Peng didn't know when she would run away, she was lying on the bed and looking at the top of the tent with her eyes dazed. How can the uncle's identity be exposed to achieve this goal? No matter how hard he tries, the identity of the Hou Mansion is ultimately for his uncle to do, how can he no longer hide his military exploits? Or you have to speed up and figure out what happened back then, but this may also be the day when the sky is turned upside down.
Hui Ci brought people to the Hou Mansion early in the morning, many of the neighbors are all dignitaries, and they have heard a little about her ritual, but when they heard that Hui Ci really came in person, she is still a little smacked, this girl has such a big face, and she can call this great Jin monk again and again.
Chen Yemin was naturally inconvenient to run to keep an eye on, and Wei Chong also took the palace guards to the county lord's mansion early, and said that he would take care of the master in the name of taking care of it. Helan Xue smiled silently, this little brother can come if he likes, anyway, this is a formality.
Hui Ci and others arranged the altar in the haunted back garden, and enshrined the Buddha statue consecrated in the temple, and recited sutras and prayers in the courtyard with several big disciples to surpass the dead. This puja will be done for nine hours, from the time of the sun to the time of ugliness, it takes a long time, nine is the number of extreme yang, and the time of the child is the time of extreme yin, hoping that with the blessing of the Buddha, these ghosts and ghosts can leave and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Helan Xue had vegetarian food and dim sum prepared, and the monks in the middle could take turns eating and resting. The sun is slanting in the west, the winter days are short, it is dark early, Hui Ci's face is calm, his face is shining with the brilliance of Buddha nature, which makes people look extremely reassured, the people of the county lord's mansion all have a heart of reverence, under the kind eyebrows of the old monk, they can't wait to kneel and bow down.
Helan Xue couldn't help but shake her head, this old monk's cultivation in Buddhism is indeed higher than others, and she is indifferent to him - unless she bullies him, at the moment, she also believes that the old monk is sincerely doing things, and she is a little more grateful to him in her heart.
Hui Ci told her a few words and asked her to pay more attention at night. He looked at Wei Chong, sighed lightly in his heart, and also told him to turn it over, don't scare this disciple by pretending to be a ghost in the courtyard in the middle of the night.
Seeing that it was almost there, there was still a low sound of Sanskrit singing in the courtyard, and the originally refreshing night suddenly flattened the air with fog and slowly spread...... ()
