Emperor Yan's move ten years ago seemed to have made the capital much more dangerous, because conflicts between families could easily escalate into violence. In fact, it makes the protection a lot stronger.

There are 3,000 officials in Yanjing, and there are 50,000 in Wuding. If it really comes to a critical moment, these martial artists are also an armed force that should not be underestimated. On weekdays, it also makes the chickens and dogs of each family a lot less stealing.

Just this morning, in a big mansion in the capital, it was Wu Ding, who was patrolling the house, who noticed a trace of abnormal breath in their young lady's boudoir. Wu Dingzhong immediately reported to the housekeeper, and the rest of the people quietly surrounded the house.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, but the young lady usually went out before the end of the day, but today there was no movement at midnight.

"Butler Tong, the thief may still be inside." The leader of Wu Ding was also already standing at the door of the house, and after they surrounded the house, they shouted a few times, but the young lady did not respond.

Steward Tong gritted his teeth: "Break the door!" ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a dark figure flew out.

"Chase!"

The other butler rushed into the house with others, and found that their young lady was already disheveled and lying in a pool of blood, looking miserable. "Miss—" A mournful cry echoed through the courtyard.

"Miss, is the slave holding you?" Teng Niang was a little distressed, in the end, it was the child who pulled it up by herself, and she had to climb such a steep slope at such a young age.

Qian Feiyue shook her head, looking at her father and mother who were also walking up step by step in front of her, she bit her lip and continued to climb.

Xiangguo Temple is in Xiangshan, sixty miles outside the city, and people don't know whether Xiangguo Temple existed longer or Xiangshan was here first. It is only known that Xiangshan is named because of the perennial incense of Xiangguo Temple and the quiet smell of incense and candles all over the mountain.

Xiangshan is not very tall, but it is very long, and it is a patch of hills. But for Qian Feiyue, the steps of thirty or forty centimeters high are still very difficult to climb. She must always maintain the demeanor of a girl, and she cannot "crawl" with her hands and feet. Fortunately, the vine girl helped her break a short branch, which allowed her to borrow strength.

Approaching the mountain gate, the steps became steeper and steeper, but each step was only about fifteen centimeters in normal, and Qian Crimson Moon also took the opportunity to slow down. Teng Niang hurriedly wiped her sweat and handed her water.

"Knock-" The bell in the temple rang, and the sound echoed in the hearts of those who went up the mountain.

When the monk came out, the little person of Qian Scarlet Moon had already recovered everyone's beautiful demeanor. Qian Chenhua, who turned his head to look at it, showed an affirmative smile.

Shangguan Lanling turned around and took Qian Feiyue, half a step behind Qian Chenhua, and followed the monk into the temple.

"Master Qian, the prayer ceremony of the little donor is arranged in the Buddha Hall of the Master of Empty Phase, please come with me."

"Thank you, little master." Qian Chenhua humbly returned the salute and motioned for the housekeeper to wait outside the temple with people. Xiangguo Temple is a place where even the King of Dayan treats each other with courtesy, no one dares to bring weapons into it, and no one dares to be disrespectful to Xiangguo Temple.

Qian Scarlet Moon loves the feel of a temple, its solemnity and tranquility will calm her heart. Smelling the faint fragrance all the way, she felt that she had been washed away and washed away a lot of lead.

"Three donors, the master is inside, please come in."

The monk opened the door, and Qian Scarlet Moon followed. The monk closed the door outside, but did not follow.

"Master of the Void Phase!" Qian Chenhua took the first step and bowed deeply, and Qian Scarlet Yue also followed Shangguan Lan Lingfu to salute.

"You may be seated." A low, ethereal voice rang out.

Scarlet Moon stood up and glanced up at him, who also happened to be looking into her eyes. She was stunned for a moment, as if this glance, his gaze shot straight into her heart and mind. The eyes were deep and peaceful, but the dusty thing in her heart almost jumped out at this second, but it was soothed by his soft eyes in the next second.

He smiled kindly at her: "Little donor, please take a seat." ”

Shangguan Lan Ling took Scarlet Moon by the hand and scolded softly: "Scarlet Moon, in front of the master, don't be rude." ”

Qian Crimson Moon answered and sat down on her small futon.

"Master of Void Phase, it is the highest honor of our family for the little girl to be prayed for by you today." Qian Chenhua said respectfully.

The master of the void phase has been smiling kindly and looking at Qian Scarlet Moon: "Ten thousand hairs are born of fate!"

The ceremony that followed, although solemn, was not complicated. Almost all prayers are performed in this way, but they are different depending on the giver.

The master of the void phase helped Qian Scarlet Moon burn incense and pray, and Qian Scarlet Moon kowtowed in front of the Buddha. Then the master dipped some water in bamboo leaves and sprinkled it on her face, implying that the dust and dirt of the seven orifices would be removed and the seven orifices would be transparent.

Finally, the giver places the palm of the hand on the child's head, which was originally intended to be a symbolic gesture for the wise elder to bestow wisdom and knowledge on the younger generation.

But when the Void Master's palm was on top of Qian Crimson's head, she felt a trace of coolness pour into her mind, and when she tried to feel it carefully, it disappeared again.

"One sand, one world, one dust. The seed is the cause, the harvest is the effect, and everything is made by the mind. ”

Qian Scarlet Moon looked up and saw the kind eyes of the empty face looking at her, but she seemed to see a hint of ...... Encourage? She wasn't sure, and she couldn't ask. I can only return a childish smile.

The empty phase nodded at her as well. He withdrew his hand, turned to Qian Chenhua and Shangguan Lanling and saluted, and said, "Qian donor, Shangguan donor, the origin is born, and the fate is destroyed." Pure heart and will, deserve fate. ”

Although Qian Chenhua and Shangguan Lan Ling didn't quite understand what he meant, they still bowed: "Thank you Master for mentioning it." ”

The three of them said goodbye to the master of emptiness, followed the monk to the main hall, donated a lot of sesame oil money, and sincerely knelt down in front of the Buddha and prayed for blessings.

"Master, I heard that the food of Xiangguo Temple is very famous, how about it?" Shangguan Lan Ling saw that it was almost noon, and proposed to finish his meal in the temple before going back.

Qian Chenhua thought for a moment and shook his head: "Madam, forget it this time." Pray for her husband to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince to the ancestral temple tomorrow. You also know that after the events of that year, the prince had to go to the ancestral temple to worship at this time of year. ”

When Shangguan Lanling heard this, he nodded clearly, this matter really can't go wrong at all.

Qian Chenhua rarely picked up Scarlet Moon and walked out of the temple: "Yue'er is tired of climbing the mountain today, right?" ”

"Daddy, I can hold on!" Qian Scarlet Yue's little face revealed firmness, which made Qian Chenhua's expression warm.

"Yue'er is so good, Daddy will reward you for going down the mountain to rest." After speaking, he handed Scarlet Moon to Huan Niang, "Hug Miss!" ”

"Yes!" Huan Niang didn't dare to complain, although Miss was no longer young at the age of three, especially if she had to walk such a steep mountain road. But after all, Teng Niang is much older than herself, and she is a child of a family, so it is normal for the master to favor her.
