Chapter 3: Fate
At this moment, only the west courtyard of the huge Lingkong Temple was still lit with dim candlelight, which became more and more gray under the illumination of the moonlight, and even a few points of starlight in the northwest corner became nothing.
A group of monks sat cross-legged around the sleeping people, all with their eyes down and chanting sutras.
The abbot and several elders left less than half a moment, and the seventh uncle also hurriedly went down the mountain, he wanted to take advantage of the young lady's sleepiness to grab some more medicine, and by the way, find a way to inform the head of the family, Shentu Qingfeng, that the young lady may need to stay in the Lingkong Temple for a while before returning to Hongmeng Valley.
Before going down the mountain, Qibert specially followed Kong and a few big monks to ask a few words, hoping that they could help take care of the young lady before he returned.
But not long after the people left, these chanting monks began to scramble and discuss with each other that they were going to leave.
"Since Senior Brother Kong is here to protect him, I guess we don't need to take care of it together! I'll go back to morning class first! The great monks expected that they would not say anything, so they got up and walked neatly.
In an instant, there were only two young children left in the whole room, one lying on the bed unconscious, the other sitting on the futon, and the sound of empty chanting did not stop from beginning to end.
After everyone was gone, he dared to raise his head to take a good look at Shen Tu Jingyao's current state, at this time she was still wide-eyed, as if she had seen something amazing, this kind of gaze was more of a surprise and exploration, rather than horror and fright, so what did she see? Could it really be that Mrs. Shentu appeared?
He shook his head to himself, but he suddenly seemed to remember something, there was something strange and incomprehensible in the world he thought before, so he thought that ghosts also existed, otherwise where would people go when they died?
I wonder if Master will have a solution? Likong was also a little anxious, his heart was as heavy as a big stone, he thought that maybe since he hugged Shentu Jingyao, who was still a baby, five years ago, the fate of the two of them began.
However, fate is also deep and shallow, so he doesn't care.
Master said that it was already predestined that you would have a relationship with her, and that it was providential! Even if you fight for your life, you can't change it!
Now it seems that the master is still too early, and he smiled, he looked at the sleeping person on the bed who was still chubby, and he still remembered the touch he had hugged back then, this girl must have a good appetite, even if fate is destined, how could he have an intersection with the lady of the Shentu clan as a foreign proton, this encounter can only be regarded as a general acquaintance, and he really can't think of what will happen to him and her.
I still don't think about it, I hang my head in the air, as if I can calm my mind by chanting the scriptures louder.
When the moon receded, the sky began to lighten.
Where there are people's homes, a rooster flutters its colorful wings and flies easily to the thatched house, and as soon as its neck is raised, the long rooster cries out to break the dark and silent night, and then the chickens are echoed and shouted from all over the place.
In the Lingkong Temple, as soon as the rooster crows in the distance, Shentu Jingyao seemed to be frightened, her body shook, and she woke up suddenly!
"Uncle Qi-" She felt that her eyes were sore, and after blinking and rubbing hard, she got up, and there was no shadow of Uncle Qi in front of her, only a little monk sitting cross-legged on the ground, sleeping soundly, but still unconsciously reading the scriptures in his mouth.
"Chu Tianyan! Chu Tianyan, wake up! Shentu Jingyao got out of bed, squatted in front of the little monk, and deliberately shouted his worldly name.
He immediately opened his eyes, and the two golden rays of light disappeared suddenly, and his eyes returned to flatness, and he hid it well.
"You're awakeβ" He leaned back a little, and Shentu Jingyao was too close to him at this time.
Shentu Jingyao didn't care, she pointed to the air and said, "This sentence should be me to ask you, are you awake, by the way, why are you in my room?" What about the Seventh Uncle? β
Likong stood up: "Uncle Qi went down the mountain to get medicine for you, and he asked me to take care of you." β
"I see!" Shentu Jingyao nodded
While observing the change in her expression, he pretended to ask casually, "Did you sleep well last night?" What are your impressions? β
Shentu Jingyao took out two pieces of taro cake from the food box, ate one for herself, and then handed the empty one, "I slept well, it's very sweet!" She said, "However, Xu had a dream all night, and woke up with sore eyes, tired, and hungry!" β
"Dreaming?" Holding the taro cake, he looked at her a little distractedly: "So-what kind of dream do you remember?" β
"Uh-well, I don't remember!" Shentu Jingyao shook her little head, and her mouth was stuffed with taro cake.
"Who have you ever seen dreaming that you remember so clearly?" When she saw the emptiness and looked at herself with a scrutinizing gaze, she was a little unhappy: "If you don't eat, you won't eat and return me!" β
He handed the taro cake back to her, "I heard from Uncle Qi last night that you still have to stay here for a little longer, so-" He deliberately looked at the empty food box, revealing a meaningful smile.
"What?" Shentu Jingyao panicked, this taro cake was about to be stuffed into her mouth, hearing this, she quickly put it down and swallowed her saliva.
Seeing that the snacks and pastries that Uncle Qi brought from home were almost exhausted, she also thought that she would be able to go back after two or three days after praying for blessings.
"The food in Lingkong Temple is not as unpalatable as rumored, and I'm afraid that the food you brought won't last a day!" "If you don't want to starve to death, go eat with me!" β
"Don't go-" Shentu Jingyao took the taro cake to her mouth again as if she was angry, and took a bite: "I don't care, I said that after eating these delicious things, I can go home, and Uncle Qi won't lie to me!" β
"Then the little monk will say goodbye first, Miss Shentu, you enjoy it slowly!" When you are empty, you have to leave.
Shentu Jingyao was a little flustered: "I'm alone, I'm a little scared, don't go!" Can you accompany me and wait for Uncle Qi to come back! β
Empty Dao: "I'm afraid it won't work!" β
"You-you're much uglier than the little monk in your dream!" Shen Tu Jing Yao pointed to the air angrily and said: "People smile better than you, you-you-were still naΓ―ve yesterday, it turns out that it is all an illusion!" β
"What did you say?" The empty foot was slammed back again.
Shentu Jingyao saw that he was a little excited, so his voice lowered: "I-I didn't say that you were inconsistent, I-I didn't scold you!" β
Likong didn't care about this, he only heard the words "little monk in the dream" in his mind a little shocked, at that time this girl was just born, why did she recall the scene when she was born in her dream five years later?
Why did he appear in her dreams? It's empty!
