The Dragon Boat Festival has to go to the holy temple outside the city, and the journey has to be one and a half hours.

On this day, Tan Yin got up early and got up with Honeysuckle in the kitchen.

Glutinous rice and zongye have long been ready to stop, last night the two soaked glutinous rice, this morning to see, the hair is just right, zongye is also washed bright.

Cook the red beans and dates, and cut the half-lean pork belly into small cubes.

The two wrapped pork belly, red beans and candied date zongzi, and also wrapped some white zongzi and cooked them in the pot while they were hot.

After Yang Che studied and practiced martial arts, he had breakfast with Tan Yin.

"Try my craftsmanship, last year's lack of your meat dumplings will make up for you this year." Tan Yin peeled a meat dumpling and handed it to him.

Yang Che paused, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the meat dumplings.

"These dates and red bean dumplings are not unusual, they are available everywhere. Only this meat dumpling is only available to us, and those who have eaten it say it is good. Tan Yin was a little proud.

Yang Che smiled lightly at her and ate.

"How's it taste?" Tan Yin asked expectantly.

Fat but not greasy, fragrant and soft and glutinous, Yang Che ate the whole meat dumpling, and said unsatisfactorily: "It's really delicious, no wonder it was so recommended in Lanruo Temple last year." ”

Tan Yin said angrily: "That's it, when did I lie to you." ”

Yang Che picked up another meat dumpling and was about to peel it off.

"Do you want to change to a different one, the red beans are also delicious." Tan Yin suggested.

Yang Che raised the meat dumplings in his hand and said with a smile: "I like to eat meat dumplings." ”

……

After breakfast, a few people rushed to the Holy Temple outside the city.

The Manifestation Temple was built for the mother of the former Chaoxi Liang King, and the incense has always been vigorous.

It is the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is an endless stream of people who come to burn incense in the morning.

After entering the temple, he went to the courtyard on the east side, where the host waited early, and after a moment of greeting, he led a few people into a room.

Entering the room, Yang Che's mother's tablets, offerings, flowers, etc. had already been ready to stop. Tan Yin put all kinds of zongzi and some pastries on three plates and put them on the offering table together.

Yang Che and Tan Yin kowtowed to Yang's mother's tablet, and after saluting, Yang Che did not stand up, still closed his eyes and folded his hands, not knowing what he was thinking or saying to his deceased mother.

Tan Yin peeked at him, he didn't move her, remembering her mother-in-law's lonely life, and finally died, leaving her young son to live in the world.

Tan Yi told his mother-in-law, whom he had never met, "Mother-in-law, I will love him and respect him well, and I won't make him feel lonely, you will bless him in the spirit of heaven and bless us!" ”

She looked at Yang Che's silhouette and seemed to be immersed in the past again.

He is not wearing an official uniform today, only a brown silk robe, and his hair is coiled up with an ebony hairpin, which is extremely harmonious with this Buddha realm, as if he is one with him.

She suddenly had the feeling that maybe he had thought about escaping into the void.

Suddenly she felt a burst of worry and panic, as if someone was going to snatch him away, she was extremely sad, and suddenly she was a little afraid of the Buddha statue that was kind and kind to all sentient beings.

She knelt down a few steps closer to him, and just raised her head to find that Yang Che was turning her head to look at her. The aura of vitality and fireworks enveloped her whole body, and Tan Yin immediately calmed down when she saw it.

"What! Rely on me so close. He asked with a smile.

Tan Yin grabbed his arm with her hand, rubbed her head lightly on his shoulder, and said softly, "It's nothing." ”

It was rare for him to see her as well-behaved and clingy as a kitten. The other hand reached over and touched her hand for a moment, "I said to my mother, bring her daughter-in-law to kowtow to her, and ask her to bless us both to grow old together and be safe, what did you say to my mother?" ”

Tan Yin smiled and said mischievously: "I won't tell you." ”

Yang Che shook his head with a smile, and took her up when he got up.

……

Entering the courtyard, there was already a small novice waiting to lead a few people to the incense room, and the presiding master was already waiting for tea.

The Master of Enlightenment was in his sixties, very thin, with as many wrinkles on his face as he had ever experienced in the world, and every fold seemed to have a story.

Jue personally poured tea for Yang Che and said: "The people of Yingzhou live in peace and prosperity, and they are much richer than in the past. ”

"Speaking of which, you have a lot of fate with the Buddhists, and they all say that you are the god of war, and in my opinion, it should be said that the war Buddha is."

Yang Che smiled slightly, "How can the master learn from those worldly people and talk about these flattering words." ”

Jue shook his head slightly, he turned to Tan Yin and asked, "Madam came to Hexi, what do you think of this place?" ”

Tan Yin saw that her perceptual gaze was like a torch, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she only said vaguely: "Very good, I like it very much." ”

"Madame should have a pure heart." Consciousness praised.

Tan Yin was very puzzled, how did he know if he had a pure heart, he only said a few words.

Yang Che talked with the master of consciousness about the Buddhist scriptures for a while, and the consciousness naturally had a deep understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, but Yang Che seemed to be extremely proficient, and several times he asked the question of the consciousness thought for a long time before giving an answer, and the master of consciousness did not stop bowing his head for his answer.

Tan Yin couldn't understand, but kept pouring tea for the two of them.

Half an hour later, the two took their leave.

.......

The Temple of Mercy and Grace is located on the Yingshan Mountain, and Yang Che took her around the temple to a platform where she could see from afar, with mountains and ravines.

"I've been talking to the Master of Consciousness for a long time, but I'm bored?"

Tan Yin raised her eyebrows, "I heard that it's not too late for you to talk to Master Enlightenment for three or five hours a few times before. ”

"I read a lot of Buddhist scriptures for a while, and I was bored. Now, after many years, I feel that all theories are universal, and all of them are universal. I always feel like a spring breeze when I learn from my senses, and I have gained a lot every time. ”

Jue once went to Tianzhu to practice, visited the major mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, the famous temple and ancient temple, and cultivated Buddhism quite deeply, and was the first monk in Hexi.

"I always regarded you as a military general before, but now I find out that you are actually a Confucian general." Tan Yin said with a smile.

Yang Che hooked the corners of his mouth, and the light in his eyes flickered.

He pondered for a long time, wanted to speak several times, and finally said: "You once said that I am a ....... in the mountain behind Lingyin I've never explained that today is the day of my mother's death, and I'm in a Buddhist temple, so I want to make this clear to you. ”

Tan Yin bit her lip and said, "It's my fault, I listen to the wind and rain." ”

"It's not your fault, there are too many rumors about me in the outside world, and I wanted to defend and refute it at first, but then it spread more and more."

"Confucianism says that if you don't suffer from others, you don't know yourself, and you don't know people when you suffer; Taoists say that Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies; Buddhism says that everything has a way, like a dream bubble. Who can tell if the things in this world are true or false. ”

"I don't want to disdain to explain later, those who believe in me don't need me to explain, they naturally believe it, and those who don't believe in me don't want to say more."

"I don't care what other people do, but you're different. Since you are willing to marry me, I know that whether this matter is true or not, you will not take it to heart anymore. But I don't want you to have a lump in your heart, and I don't want you to feel ashamed in the face of other people's gossip. ”

He didn't care before, but now he cares so much, he doesn't just live for himself.

Tan Yin said firmly: "I believe in you." ”

Yang Che raised his head and looked at her deeply, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Tan Yin thought for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, Xu Linhai once explained to me, he said that His Majesty was the crown prince at that time, walking on thin ice, and would not do such a verbal thing, I was skeptical at the time. ”

"When I decide to marry you, I don't care about that, who doesn't have a past? But when I got to Hexi, I was sure that you wouldn't. Tan Yin smiled.

You never asked me about my past, and you didn't look down on me for it, so how could I blame you. You've suffered so much, I just regret that I didn't meet you sooner.

The sun shone on her face, and a pair of big smart and lively eyes were looking at him, full of trust and love; The upturned lips are full of smiles, and there seems to be no hurdle that cannot be overcome. is so lively and vivid, how can it not make people's hearts yearn for it.

Yang Che hugged her and pressed her tightly in his arms, his chin rubbing her hair.

The breeze blows, the birds sing in the mountain stream, in the silent place, but it is worth a thousand words.
