1126, nowhere
Xu Shucai pushed open the door of the meditation room, and listened to Master Miaofan say, "I just dried the tea for you, you are here, sit down!" ”
Xu Shu sat down, touched the teacup, and sure enough, the temperature was just right, so he took it and drank it all, "Thank you, Master!" ”
Master Miaofan looked at Xu Shu's distinct fingers, and her tone was slightly deep, "I haven't seen you for many days, but you have changed your appearance!" ”
Xu Shu lowered her head and touched her cheek, which was no longer fleshy, this illness almost dragged her down, but fortunately, she didn't have any more wishes.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and Master has changed!"
I don't know if it's an illusion, Xu Shu inexplicably felt that Master Miaofan was three points older than she remembered, but when she looked at it again, it didn't seem to have changed much.
Master Miao Fan smiled lightly, "The stars are changing, the years are going by, how can it always be the same!" ”
Xu Shu was slightly stunned, such words should not have come from the mouth of Master Miaofan.
Mrs. Miao Fan looked at the scriptures that Xu Shu put aside, a thick stack, and shook her head slightly, "If your heart is not quiet, no matter how many scriptures you copy, it will only be in vain!" ”
"It's because the heart is not quiet, so I have to copy the scriptures to calm the heart!" Xu Shu stroked the book cover, which she copied word by word in countless nights of tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and actually copied this thick stack, and every word in it condensed her pain.
Master Miao Fan sighed softly, the Xu family has always been a nightmare that Xu Shu can't break free and can't escape, Xu Hui's death made Xu Shu, who had finally escaped the quagmire, be pulled back again, a Xu Shu who was struggling on the verge of survival finally sank completely, and Master Miao Fan felt both helpless and heartbroken.
"Some time ago, I read ancient books for my teacher, and I got a good prescription for your health, and I felt that your illness was very symptomatic, so I prepared two medicines, and you can take them!"
Master Miaofan handed over the small wooden box on the side, Xu Shu took it, opened the box and sniffed it gently, and smelled the smell of many rare medicinal materials......
"Thank you, master......" Xu Shu held the medicine box and suddenly asked, "Master once said that I have a fate with the Buddha, so is this fate still there?" ”
Master Miao Fan seemed to guess that Xu Shu would ask this question, and she was not surprised at all, "There is a fate or no fate, but now you have no heart, naturally there is no fate!" ”
Xu Shu lowered her head and stopped talking, now she has no way out?
"A few days ago, I entered the palace for the teacher to give a lecture to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager also mentioned you......"
Master Miao Fan suddenly spoke, Xu Shu hurriedly listened attentively, "What did the Empress Dowager mention about me?" ”
"The Empress Dowager already knows your identity?"
Xu Shu nodded, "Yes...... But the Empress Dowager didn't say anything! ”
"If it is broken, there is no way back!" Master Miao Fan smiled slightly, "You are too deeply concerned with the world, and you have long lost your relationship with the empty door!" ”
Xu Shu asked with concern, "The Empress Dowager mentioned me to Master, but she is suspicious of Master?" "Mrs. Miaofan knew that she was alive, but she didn't tell the Empress Dowager, would the Empress Dowager blame Mrs. Miaofan?
Master Miao Fan smiled lightly, "Monks have already looked down on life and death, let alone ask about worldly things, what is the use of the Empress Dowager's suspicions?" ”
"It's good that Master doesn't bother him!" Xu Shu sighed, she couldn't affect anyone anymore, it seemed that Hanxi Temple couldn't be her shelter, but this poor crippled body had nowhere to go.
"Master, Ah Lian is here again...... I want to see the master...... "Suddenly a sister-in-law came to pay attention to the door."
Xu Shu was surprised, "It's been so long, is Ah Lian still lingering?" ”
Master Miao Fan smiled lightly, "People always have obsessions, her obsession in Hanxi Temple is a good thing, if it can reduce the killing, the teacher is naturally willing to talk to her about the scriptures and books, and eliminate the karma in her heart!" ”
Xu Shu's heart jumped, it seems that Ah Lian really didn't have a heart for goodness, listening to what Master Miao Fan meant, could it be that Ah Lian's hands were still contaminated with human life?
Because Ah Lian wanted to see Master Miaofan, Xu Shu hurriedly got up, "I'll go first, take care, Master!" ”
Master Miao Fan bowed his head and watched Xu Shu leave.
Xu Shu kept in mind what Master Miaofan had just said, and on the way out, she couldn't help but ask the sister-in-law who led the way, "Has Ah Lian come a lot lately?" ”
"I haven't been here for a few months, but now I've only been here again for two months!"
"Will Huiyuan still come with her?" Xu Shu asked.
The sister-in-law who led the way suddenly stopped, and after a while, she said with a little sadness, "Huiyuan is dead......
Xu Shu's heart was shocked, it turned out that the human life that Master Miaofan said meant Huiyuan?
She ...... How did he die? ”
The sister-in-law who led the way shook her head, "Hui Yuan has gone back to the temple to ask for the master before, saying that she wants to come back to the temple again, but the master did not agree, but within a few days, I heard that Hui Yuan died of an emergency, and Ah Lian has not been to the temple since then......"
Xu Shu was stunned, and suddenly understood the reason for the change in Master Miaofan. Hui Yuan's death is true, I'm afraid that the emergency is just an excuse, but the people don't raise it, the officials don't investigate, and no one knows how Hui Yuan died, so the Miao Fan Shi she saw today will be different from the past, I'm afraid that Miao Fan will also blame herself, if she left Hui Yuan that day, maybe Hui Yuan wouldn't have died......
Across the wall, Xu Shu suddenly heard a familiar voice, and the sister-in-law who led the way heard the voice pointing at humanity through the flower window on the wall, "That's Ah Lian!" Next to her is a new Mrs. Hu, I heard that she is also a merchant's wife, and has business dealings with Ah Lian's husband's family, so Ah Lian is very close to this Mrs. Hu! ”
Mrs. Hu......
Xu Shu secretly thought that she should have brought Yuzhu today!
Back in the capital, Xu Shu remembered the people he saw in Hanxi Temple today, and felt a little uneasy, and wanted to find Zhuang Li to investigate, but when he went to Jingyuan, he learned that Zhuang Li had left the capital, and now it was Li Qi who stayed in Jingyuan.
Xu Shu had no choice but to tell Li Qi about Yan Niang and let Li Qi pay attention.
Yan Niang has seen Zhou Jin and Xu Shu, and Ah Lian also knows the former Xu Shu, and now that the two of them have come together, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do anything, it is better to be cautious.
Xu Shu solved the matter of Yan Niang, returned to Zheng's house, and before entering the door, he found that the atmosphere in the house was a little bad, and he asked someone to know that something had happened.
"Young Master Wen of Xifu is dying, our lords and ladies here are rushing over!"
Xu Shu was stunned, after clarifying Zheng Zhiwen's motives that day, Xu Shu was nauseous for a while, and she didn't pay much attention after Zhou Jin promised to deal with Zheng Zhiwen, only heard that Zheng Zhiwen was sick, intermittent, and never got better, why did people suddenly not work? Could it be that Zhou Jin really killed Zheng Zhiwen?
