Chapter 48: The Turmoil in Guangji Temple (2)
Song Li closed his eyes and didn't see the emotion flashing on Chu Rong's face.
"When did you get so talkative?"
She opened her eyes slightly, and glanced at Chu Rong without being salty, as if she was a little disgusted with him.
The corners of Chu Rong's mouth hooked slightly, smiled lightly, picked up the book and read it again, and stopped talking.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage became more and more bumpy, Song Li was awakened, with a faint displeasure on his face, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw that the carriage had already walked on the mountain road. The wheels of the car creaked against the stones.
"Such a broken road!"
She frowned slightly, lowered the curtain and complained.
"If you want to go down, I won't object."
Song Li immediately sat up straight, opened the curtain again, looked at the winding mountain road in front of him, and wrinkled his nose in disgust.
The mountain road is very narrow, only a carriage can pass, and it is lined with thorns and shrubs, and then you can see the green mountains and forests in the distance, and you can't see the end at a glance.
"How long does it take to get up the mountain?"
She maintained the posture of lifting the curtain, looked at Chu Rong and asked curiously.
"More than ten minutes."
Chu Rong glanced at her.
"I'm so idle, I'm looking for guilt!" She regretted that she hastily agreed to come, or is it better to come on the current Yau Bai Road, she sighed and patted Yingyue, who was a little depressed, "Dizzy?" ”
Yingyue's face was very ugly, and she nodded as if she wanted to vomit but couldn't.
"I'll take you up, it's too much of a sin to ride in a carriage!"
She touched her gloomy face, hugged Yingyue's waist and gently fluttered to the ground.
"Miss......"
Yingyue hugged her waist tightly, and her eyes suddenly widened.
She raised her hand to cover her eyes, squinted at the winding mountain road, tightened her hand around Yingyue, and jumped and disappeared in place.
"Miss Song!"
Shang Qing looked at Song Li, who was leaving with Yingyue and performed light skills, and shouted, seeing that Song Li disappeared quickly, he didn't hear his voice.
"Shizi, Miss Song has left."
He glanced in the direction in which Song Li had disappeared, looked back at the carriage and said.
"Leave her alone."
Chu Rong replied lightly.
Song Li took Yingyue to perform light skills, and soon landed in front of the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion and the prince's mansion halfway up the mountain.
"Aunt Pei, are you okay?"
She shouted at the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion.
I saw the eldest princess open the curtain by the window and looked at her with some surprise, "Why are you there?" Aren't you in Chu'er's carriage? ”
"The carriage was too bumpy, so I came up on my own." She smiled, glanced back at the long queue below and waved at the table, "I'll go up first." ”
Without waiting for the eldest princess to reply, she left the place again.
By the time everyone went up the mountain, Song Li and Yingyue were already sitting on the stones and falling asleep back to back.
"Amitabha, I heard that there are nobles who have come from afar, and I hope you will forgive your sins!"
A gray-bearded man with a radiant face watched an old monk of about sixty come down from the mountain with a group of small novices, and saluted everyone in a loud voice.
Look at the dress is the presiding officer of Guangji Temple.
"The master is polite, I heard that Master Chanyi is back, we specially came to bathe in the light of the Buddha, pray for the blessings of the people, and hope that the master Haihan will be disturbed if there is any disturbance."
The eldest princess stood at the head of the crowd, folded her hands and bowed respectfully to the host.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is serious, and your arrival is a blessing for the temple." The host returned the salute, turned his head to look at Song Li, who was back to back with Yingyue on the side, and showed a kind smile on his face: "I didn't expect that after eight years, Miss Song has grown so big." ”
Old Lady Song glared at Song Li, who was not a weapon, and soon had a smile on her face, and bowed to the host piously, "Li'er is lazy by nature, which makes the master smile." ”
"Li'er, you don't wake up soon!"
She accentuated her tone and coughed heavily, which woke Song Li up.
Song Li rubbed his eyes, looked at the people who didn't know when to go up the mountain, and in the face of the old lady's warning gaze, he put down the hand that rubbed his eyes and pushed Yingyue awake.
"The great monk hasn't seen you for a long time!"
Seeing Yingyue wake up, she smiled and bowed to the host Yingying.
"Don't be rude when you leave your child!"
The old lady glared at her again, a little hateful.
"Nothing." The host smiled and shook his head, "Miss Song is chic and straightforward by nature, and the old man appreciates it very much." ”
"Everybody, go up the mountain with the old man."
Everyone followed the host to climb the Baikan stairs, passed through a bamboo forest, and finally saw the Daxiong Hall of Guangji Temple.
Along the way, Song Li wanted to use light skills several times to leave first, but was stopped by the old lady's eyes, she followed the team helplessly, and the soles of her feet hurt a little.
"The old man has asked the novices to clean the room for you in the west courtyard, you can go and rest first, and in the evening Uncle Zen Yi will preach the Dharma in the main hall, if you are interested, you can go to the main hall to listen."
"In addition, the vegetarian meal is ready, everyone can settle down and go to the backyard to eat."
After settling in, the host took the novices and left.
Song Li looked at Chu Rong with some difficulty, "Want to spend the night here?" But I didn't have anything ready! ”
"Miss, Miss!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Cai Wei and Qingtang walking towards her with a package on their backs.
Qingtang saluted Song Li, "The old lady has asked the slave maid to clean it up for you." ”
Song Li nodded.
She walked towards a courtyard, and Chu Rong suddenly called out to her.
"Go this way."
Chu Rong pointed to the east.
"Didn't the host say the west courtyard?"
She looked at all the people walking towards the west courtyard, and her face was a little good-looking.
"I told the master that you are injured and need a clean place to heal, so let's go."
Chu Rong said and walked towards the east courtyard with Shang Qing.
Song Li stood in place and watched for a while, pondered for a moment, and raised his legs to follow.
Living on the east side is not only clean but also has some nasty people, which is simply perfect.
There are only two courtyards on the east side, which are right side by side.
Chu Rong took Shang Qing into the first one, and Song Li took Yingyue and the three into the second.
As soon as they entered the house, the three of them were busy.
Yingyue was about to clean the house with a feather duster, and Song Li hurriedly called her when she saw it, "Is that what the house brought you?" ”
Yingyue nodded, "Yes, Sister Qingtang brought it." ”
Song Li nodded and continued: "If you want to clean it, just ask the people in the temple to ask for a new handful, I don't know if the things in the house have been stained with meat." ”
"Aren't you a Taoist?"
As soon as Chu Rong came over, he heard Song Li's words, and couldn't help laughing.
"There is no conflict between believing in Taoism and focusing on Buddhism." Song Li glanced at him, poured a cup of tea and drank it.
There was a faint sound of Buddha.
Buddhism or Taoism has morning and evening classes, at this time it should be the novices doing the afternoon class, listening to the sound of Lang Lang Buddha, Song Li squinted, and looked at Chu Rong, "Chu Rong, don't you shave your head and worship Buddhism, I think you have a lot of wisdom!" ”
Chu Rong looked at Song Li, who had a treacherous face, smiled slightly, walked to her and sat down, "Master Chan Yi showed me a few years ago, although I have Huigen, but I have no Buddha fate, you die of this heart." ”
Song Li's eyes narrowed again.
When Yingyue and a few people were about to toss, a small guy came to Song Li's door.
"Miss Song, the old lady asked the little one to come and invite you to listen to the master's lecture on Buddhism."
Song Li's heart is big, whether it is in her previous life or in this life, what she is most afraid of is sitting motionless and listening to someone talk about something.
But grandmother sent someone to shout, can she refuse?
She hummed in frustration, got up and followed the little maid out of the yard.
The hall was full of people.
In addition to the monks in the temple, they are the female dependents in Beijing.
Everyone closed their eyes and put their hands together on their chests, with a look of immersion.
She casually found a group of Pu and knelt down to learn from everyone's appearance, and the three of them surrounded her.
At first, she could still listen to it, but after a long time, the sound of the Buddha in the sky was like a spell that made her sit still.
She patted Yingyue, Yingyue thought that Song Li had something to say to her, leaned over, and saw Song Li leaning on her shoulder and quickly falling asleep.
Yingyue froze, wanting to wake up Song Li but didn't dare, she could only stare at Qingtang Caiwei with small eyes.
By the time the class was over, half of Yingyue's body had stiffened.
Song Li rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and left the hall all the way with the old lady's eyes.
Back in the courtyard, Chu Rongzheng and Chu Tianyu were playing in the courtyard.
Her face sank instantly, and she went into the house without saying a word and closed the door.
Chu Tianyu looked at the back of Song Li who disappeared behind the door, and his mood was a little complicated.
"Song Yu!"
Song Li shouted.
Song Yu quickly fell to the door, "Miss." ”
"Guard the door, anyone who comes will stop me, I want to make up for sleep!"
She pulled the quilt over her head and commanded loudly.
She didn't sleep well all the way, she was still haunted by nightmares in the hall just now, she was physically and mentally exhausted, she just wanted to sleep well, thinking of Qi Wanxi, she added: "The princess has something to wake me up immediately!" ”
"Yes! Miss! ”
Song Yu answered, holding his sword and standing at the door like a bodyguard.
Yingyue Cai Wei Qingtang and a few people gathered in the courtyard, whispering, and time passed little by little.
Perhaps because of the environment, she slept very deeply.
Chu Tianyu came to her, and twice she had a closed door and left.
It wasn't until late in the evening that she woke up.
Looking at the red-dyed sky, she lifted the quilt and pushed the door open.
"Miss, you're awake!"
Yingyue saw her come out and hurriedly stood up and looked at her.
She nodded, her stomach empty, "Is there anything to eat?" I am hungry. ”
Yingyue quickly nodded, "Yes, you wait a minute!" With that, he left in a hurry with Cai Wei.
Qingtang followed her and told her about the situation of the people who came in the afternoon, and heard that Chu Tianyu came twice, and the second time she wanted to break in the door by force, but after being stopped by Song Yu and Chu Rong from leaving in a hurry, she hummed without being salty.
Chu Tianyu was looking for her just to find her to tell the fortune and see what his winning rate was.
As for the rest, she didn't care about it, and she had already made it clear to him on the street that day, if he really insisted on going all the way to the dark, then that would be the end of their sighting.
But he didn't listen, she gave him a chance.
