209 - Temple Bane 4

The dense light rain quietly fell on the stone path under the stupa. Woman walking slowly. Draped in a thin layer of calamus-colored shoulders. Posture calmly. She wore a whisk of fine veil on her head. When they were ten paces away from the two of them. It's a natural stop.

"Who are you?" Lan Mo's narrow eyes narrowed slightly. She leaned sideways to signal Luo Yan not to be on guard. Then he turned to the woman who was dressed plainly.

The silent night breeze brushes his cheeks. With a slight drizzle, the veil of the comer. She laughed. "Madame begged the old man to stay here during the day. At this time, the goodbye is unrecognizable. Wang Long raised his hand to lift the corner of the veil. A slightly old face in the dark rainy night. There is a kind of hazy solemnity.

"It was the mother-in-law of the morning." Lan Mo pretended to be surprised. In her heart, she was guessing whether it would be Wang Long who suddenly came here to check. It seems that I really guessed it. It's just more deeply exposed. She had fallen in the room. But I was able to get here in time. Isn't there something hidden in front of that perch.

"Madame had better rest earlier. The utensils of this Buddha hall should be used at the right time. Wang Long tried to make his voice sound calm. Her eyes didn't leave the gavel for a moment. Luckily, she came just in time. Otherwise, it's a little later. That mechanism may have been given to them ......

"Luo Yan. Let's go back to the room. Lan Mo added softly. She didn't politely apologize for what had just happened. It doesn't matter. She just picked up the mallet and knocked on the wooden fish casually. This Mrs. Wang Long was so anxious. It's like touching her baby.

Luo Yan's martial law mind did not slack off in the slightest. He returned slightly after the end of the blue. From time to time, he looked back at Wang Long, who was standing in the distance and watching them go away. He was even able to see. Mrs. Wang's face seemed to be a little pale and tight.

The chains under the stupa are still cold and solid. Wang Long saw the two retreat. She hurriedly raised her hand and carefully stroked it, revealing the rust stains on the copper skin. After a hundred years of dust. This secret was only revealed in the year that her husband took over. Now, so many years have passed. She needs to keep watch.

I thought to myself. The hand also involuntarily picked up the gavel that Lan Mo was about to put down. The 108 red agate beads wrapped around her hand are like a blessing from the gods. The mouth is reciting the Great Compassion Mantra of Great Compassion Guanyin's housekeeping method. Knocking on the wooden fish in his hand. It is doing the ritual of wrapping the lotus. Pacify the spirits fighting for the secret. It's something she needs to do.

The little student with the umbrella followed Han Xuyao quite cautiously. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair" Although the sky is only scattered and drizzling. But he couldn't wet the clothes and shoes of the Seven Princes of Dongyuan.

The green mountains and green waters along the road are undiminished. But there has been no growth in popularity. It's a place where you can be at ease. It is also a quiet temple of self-cultivation.

Han Xuyao rolled up his sleeves. A little raindrop fell on the densely woven diagonal brocade. He only gently squeezed. The raindrops fell with the trend. Of course, the little student on the side observed this detail. The originally cool air suddenly had a hot current surging into my heart. His face flushed. Hurriedly dropped the umbrella. Kneel down. "The prince forgives his sins. The little ones don't dare ......."

"Get up. Such a little rain. Out of the way. Stand down. "Han Xuyao's temperament is unpredictable. The subordinates who served him were all cautious because of the unpredictable habits of the prince.

The little man holding the umbrella trembled and did not dare to retreat. But I saw that Mo Dou was very aware of current affairs and took a step forward. frowned and whispered. "Don't go yet. Waiting for rewards and punishments? ”

Just when the little student trotted back. The sound of the wooden fish in the distance stopped abruptly. A trace of scorch flashed on Han Xuyao's face. It should have been a quick walk. But he suddenly lifted his breath and rode the wind. Ink Dou was apprehensive. How anxious this prince is. He rarely shows his skills on the outside. So flamboyant. It seems that the person who knocked the wooden fish in the temple is not simple.

Wang Long clasped his hands together. Religiously lit a pillar of incense in front of the temple. I saw a circle of burning incense mist. It exudes a faint sandalwood fragrance. Make people linger.

"Madame burns incense in the rain. I'm afraid it will go out quietly. Han Xuyao's faint voice sounded at the right time. He could only tell from the kneeling figure. It was an older woman. Think about the family in the palace. Who is eligible to live here. Then it is the rumored Wang Long, the eldest lady of the Wang family who retired behind the scenes.

Wang Long knelt on the soft lotus cushion. She could tell by her voice alone. I'm afraid that the person who comes is not from the Wang family. Because no one in the Wang family will call her Mrs. anymore. Even if it's someone who knows her. It's just an honorific title for Aunt Long. Old Man Wang asked her to come here to cultivate. won't give her a chance to get out. So what a big lady. It's just a high-sounding title from the past.

"The Lord of the Buddha is merciful. The rain and dew are stained without staining the dust. Where did the donor come from. Where are we going? Wang Long smiled indifferently and got up. She looked at the incense mist that had not been extinguished by the rain. He looked back at the delicate man standing in the distance like a god. She asked kindly.

"I was just attracted by the sound of chanting around the lotus. Did Madame keep knocking on the wooden fish just now? Han Xuyao expressed the doubts in his heart. He with a sword eyebrow. Without a smile. The increasingly grim face is lined with great elegance.

"Of course." Wang Long did not hesitate. The answer was extremely natural.

There was a small pause in the atmosphere. Han Xuyao has always been a man who is observant. Since childhood. He likes to analyze people's demeanor. He is good at reading people's expressions. The tone of the person analyzes their weaknesses. Therefore, he has gone from a proton career to the current irreplaceable status of the Seven Princes. It's all directly related to his ability.

He at the moment. It is to examine Wang Long's demeanor. She lied. Her hand was rubbing the tip of her nose unconsciously. This was Han Xuyao's first reaction. If the sound of the wooden fish is the first reason that attracted him here. So at this moment, he concluded that Wang Long was lying, but it was the second reason. For his sharp nose once again smelled the familiar fragrance of forgetfulness. That was his surrender to Mo'er. It was the only secret that only he knew.

"Lord Wang. We're going to the palace. Mo Dou patted Han Xuyao's shoulder with a suspicious look. He saw that the prince did not move. Hurriedly added. "The guards of the palace should have informed the owner of the palace that we had entered the mountain. But it's been so long. There was no one to greet them. I'm afraid something has changed......"

Han Xuyao suddenly stepped forward. He looked at the woman with the veil for a moment. Then he picked up the mallet that was placed on the side of the fish. Seeing that the woman's expression suddenly showed a little dissociation. He couldn't help but sniff it between his nose again. Then he smiled. "Ink fountain. You see if this mallet is made of agarwood. ”

Mo Dou saw Han Xuyao and avoided answering. Just about to ask. But I had to come forward to check. It's just that the gavel hasn't been reached yet. The fickle Han Xuyao suddenly changed his words. Place the mallet back in its place. "The king is wrong. No. Let's go. ”

"Your Excellency is actually the prince. Forgive the old man for being clumsy. Wang Long saluted. Although the people who came were polite. But the cold and arrogant temperament is by no means ordinary nobles. and heard this man call himself king. Combined with this, only the royal family and the Wang family can enter the mountain. She guessed that there was a lot of **.

Han Xuyao didn't stay long. He had already decided in his heart that the woman he was looking for was here. It's just that he can't stay here tonight. It would not be good if Lan Mo found clues. And he also needs to find out the secrets of the stupa.

Eat the rice one bite at a time. He followed the ancient precepts.

When the carriage reached the main entrance of the palace. There was only one servant waiting in front of the door. However, it is on an official road not far from the main entrance. But there are hundreds of housekeepers cleaning back and forth. The ink fountain had already noticed that something was abnormal. He looked sideways at Han Xuyao. The prince looked calm as if nothing had happened.

The little guy guarding the main gate stepped forward. Shouted outside the carriage door. "Lord Wang learned that the Seventh Lord had visited. The little ones are waiting here. I hope the prince will forgive me for the neglect. ”

"Why didn't your prince come out to greet him in person. But it is not easy to blame the prince for neglecting. "The ink fountain was already holding his breath when he came. He's an uncle. But you also have to find a place to vent. I really don't like what this guy says.

"Master Wang punished the fourth young master in the ancestral shrine. Because of family law, you can't come out without permission. Please also forgive the Seventh Prince. "The little guy is not angry or irritated. He was trying to explain as clearly as he could.

Han Xuyao waved his hand and motioned for Mo Tu to stop pursuing it. Got into the carriage under his feet. He asked casually. "What mistake did the fourth young master of your family make, it is worth moving the family law. And also. What are those people doing. He casually pointed to the men who were working in the distance.

"The fifth princess and the guests were attacked on the official road. His whereabouts are unknown at the moment. Master Wang is going to go to Wanghai in person to take the blame. But because of age. At this moment, the fourth young master can only be punished first. Those subordinates were cleaning up the bloodstains after the fierce battle. "The little guy didn't have the slightest fear. He was just stating the facts, and he was quite calm.

Han Xuyao's eyebrows flashed with a hint of concern. Then it subsided. He didn't ask again. Only the little servant led him into the central hall of the palace.

The time for a bowl of tea flies by. When the old man Wang Feng came in a hurry from the back room. His hand holding the cane was still oozing a lot of sweat. The people of the royal family came here three times and twice. I'm afraid that the prophecy of a hundred years ago will be fulfilled ahead of schedule. He looked at the Seventh Prince, who had always been calm, with a smile. I couldn't help but speak. "Let the prince wait for a long time. It's rude. ”

"This king is here so late. It's rude. Han Xuyao said extremely naturally. It was as if he didn't know what was going on in the Wang family. He saw that Master Wang was embarrassed. But he didn't dare to speak first. He also made his intentions clear. "This king has not heard any rumors today. I didn't see anything. It's just that the next half moon needs to be in the palace. You see. Is this easy to do? ”

Master Wang heard this. I was stunned at first. Fang Cai was still thinking about how to hide the fact that the princess was captured by gangsters. But the Seventh Prince in front of him didn't care about where his sister was. Rather, he bluntly explained the meaning. This is a great opportunity to atone for your sins. Everyone knows that the power of the Seven Princes in the royal family is very important. Enough to compete with the prince.

Ink Bucket raised his eyes. added. "What the prince means. You need to hide your identity and live temporarily in the palace. ”
