Chapter 219: Half-Immortal National Teacher
Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Jinrong hurriedly came to the palace, rubbed a few pastries here in Huaxiyan, and then headed for the temple outside the city.
There were not a lot of people on the main street, so it didn't take too long to get from the palace to the city gate, but after going out and turning onto a small road, the flow of people was obviously dense.
Hua Xiyan knows very well that this is the charm of that temple.
The carriage could no longer gallop, so it had to drive slowly, Hua Xiyan opened the curtain and looked outside, and said softly: "Look at this formation, it is almost comparable to the scene when Master Tongyi was in Huangzhao Temple." ”
Yang Jinrong was fiddling with a beaded flower on his head in the mirror, and nodded when he heard this: "Although the national teacher is not as virtuous and respected as Master Tongyi, he still has some ability. ”
That's it, Yang Jinrong suddenly squinted, pouted and asked, "Sister Hua, do you think my bead flower is crooked?" ”
Hua Xiyan took a look, and found that it was a peach blossom carved from purple glass, the stamens were distinct, lifelike, the peach blossom should have been pink, and now it is carved with purple glass, which is a little less gorgeous and a little more graceful and elegant.
"It's not right." Hua Xiyan said, stretched out his hand and plucked the beaded flower in the middle of the bun, and gave Yang Jin a hairpin on the side of the bun.
"Well, this position is much better than just now." Yang Jinrong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Sister Hua's vision is so good. ”
Hua Xiyan smiled lightly, Yang Jinrong is still an under-the-top child after all, with a lively and girlish nature, but she is much older, and she doesn't have the heart to care about her clothes.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the gate of a temple, and Wen Xia raised the curtain and helped Hua Xiyan get out of the carriage, and a little tangled look flashed on his round face.
"Don't wrinkle, you'll have to screw it together again." Hua Xiyan quipped.
Wen Xia didn't care about his young lady's ridicule at all, but said, "There are so many people today, Miss, I think we should not go." ”
"Ah, what you said is not right, there are many people to prove that it works, shouldn't you go more?" Yang Jinrong shook his head and immediately vetoed Xia's words.
"It's okay, go check it out." Hua Xiyan patted Xia's hand and walked towards the temple.
"Miss......" asked Xia shouted unrelentingly behind him.
Hua Xiyan knew what Xia was worried about, after watching Li Xuzhen come out yesterday, Feng Yin Feng Tao and the others were all sent by her to check the Wen family, and now there are only a few secret guards of the Wang family around her. Compared with the comfort of the nine wind generations who have gone through many winds and waves together, it is still not reassuring enough.
"I'm not a weak woman who is powerless, don't be afraid." Hua Xiyan said perfunctorily at Xia.
She was very curious about that half-human, half-immortal national teacher, how could she not meet such a good opportunity?
Wen Xia also knew that his young lady was so good at saying that he had to follow in, hoping that his eyelids that had been jumping non-stop just now were white.
Yesterday, I heard Yang Jinrong say that this temple is extremely small, Hua Xiyan looked around, it was a few courtyards with three entrances and three exits, but it was a little bigger than she imagined.
"Why doesn't this temple have a name?" Hua Xiyan looked at the bare gate and asked with a frown.
Yang Jinrong pursed his lips: "It is said that there was originally a plaque, but later the miraculous national teacher sent someone to take it down, so this temple also got a name - Nameless Temple." ”
"Nothing is done, sometimes there is nothing." Hua Xiyan smiled and spit out such a sentence, and lifted her skirt into the temple.
The bluestone slab paved ground is dust-free, and the light can shine on people. There is no weed in the gaps, although it is not as magnificent as the large temples, but it is a little more back to basics.
There are a few towering ancient trees in each small courtyard, and the huge copper dome that is one zhang square burns with finger-thick incense. The whole temple is covered in green smoke, shrouded in a mist and mist, as if hiding among the mountains and mountains.
Different people worship different Buddhas, and Huaxiyan walked slowly in the courtyard, thinking about which courtyard they should go to.
"Ah, there!" Yang Jinrong suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and smiled at Huaxi Yan, "That courtyard is basically a place for literati and students to worship, I want to go there to offer incense and pray to God to bless Brother Shizi's high school!" ”
Hua Xiyan knew that the Marquis of Luling had participated in this year's civil official examination, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, you can go." ”
"Where is Sister Hua going?" Yang Jinrong asked with a pair of apricot eyes.
"There's a Guanyin temple there, I'll go there and have a look." Hua Xiyan gestured towards a slightly larger courtyard not far away. Isn't Yun Qi's mother seriously ill in bed now? Since she is here, what does it matter if she worships the Bodhisattva and prays for blessings?
"Okay, I'll look for you there later." Yang Jinrong said that, and took the personal maid to the ground.
A vigorous woman, Hua Xiyan looked at Yang Jinrong's back, with a look of envy in her eyes.
The incense in the Guanyin Temple was vigorous, and Hua Xiyan asked Wen Xia to take out a few silver nudes and put them into the mercy box, and slowly walked to a futon and knelt down.
There is the sound of a little monk chanting next to him, and the "Book of the Laws" seems to have a great magic power, which can attract people to listen quietly, Hua Xiyan knelt and knelt, and couldn't help but slightly open his lips and follow the back.
After a long time, I heard an ethereal voice that seemed to come from outside the clouds: "Believers are pathetic! ”
Hua Xiyan slowly opened his eyes, his hands on his chest were not put down, and his bright eyes were shining, looking at the golden statue of the compassionate Bodhisattva.
"Believers are pathetic!" A sighing voice came from behind him again, Hua Xiyan turned his head, and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe.
The middle-aged man has a mediocre appearance, a beard on his chin, and the only outstanding feature in his facial features is the eyes, although they are not big, but they are extraordinarily sharp, sharp as an eagle falcon, staring at the only Bodhisattva statue in the room.
The man's black robe has nothing but a gossip map, and the square hat on his head is also a gossip map, and the dust in the crook of his arm flows down like a smooth Milky Way, with a sharp contrast between black and white. Others may think it is strange that there is a person dressed as a Taoist priest in the temple.
Hua Xiyan stood up, looked at the man, and said affirmatively: "Master Guoshi." ”
"Girl's eyesight." The man glanced at Hua Xiyan, but there was no look of appreciation on his face.
Hua Xiyan hooked his lips and smiled: "What the national teacher said just now was me?" ”
The national teacher's gaze shifted to the statue again: "There are only you and me in the room." ”
Only then did Hua Xiyan notice that the rest of the pilgrims had all withdrawn from the room, not even Wen Xia.
The two were alone, and Hua Xiyan was not afraid at all, but asked with a smile: "I don't know where the sad word of the national teacher comes from?" ”
"Affection has been empty and hateful since ancient times, this truth should be understood by the girl."
"I thought that the national teacher was immortal, but I didn't expect to know everything about this red dust love and hatred." Hua Xiyan's tone was a little ridiculous.
"No matter how much Rao cultivates, he can't jump out of these three realms, he is still a mortal body." The national teacher spoke without being salty, and this open-minded attitude was much better than those who pondered alchemy every day to become immortals.
"Why is the national teacher sure that I will pay my heartfelt mistakes?" Hua Xiyan became a little interested, and then asked.
"Look at the looks." The national teacher cherished the words like gold and spit out two words.
Hua Xiyan had seen it in a book before, and a real master would not only look at his face, but also look at his body, that is, he could see his fortune from a person's back. Could it be that the national teacher in front of him is the legendary master of appearance?
Thinking like this, Hua Xiyan looked at this national teacher carefully, thinking about the rumors about him in the world and the respect that Emperor Tianlong had for him, this was definitely not a treatment that a person without ability could get.
"The little girl doesn't dare to make any comments on the national teacher's remarks, but the person she likes is very comparable, and she will never live up to the little girl's sincerity." Huaxi Yan suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, like a hundred flowers blooming in early spring, showing thousands of spring colors, like a girl with spring.
The national teacher snorted coldly: "No matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person, and no matter how famous he is, it is just a rumor spread by the world." You little girl is still inexperienced, so she is naturally a fan of the authorities. ”
Not very experienced? Hua Xiyan couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she was forty years old in her past and present lives, and she had experienced more things than others in her two lives, how could she say that she was still inexperienced?
Besides, if this national teacher is really capable, how can he not see that she is not a person of this era?
Although he didn't agree with it in his heart, Hua Xiyan didn't have the slightest rude look on his face, and said with a shallow smile: "The little girl's experience naturally can't be compared with the national teacher, but according to the national teacher, how can the little girl's sad catastrophe be resolved?" ”
If it was something else, she could just leave it alone, but this matter was about her and Yun Qi, although this national teacher was probably talking nonsense, she couldn't ignore it.
If this national teacher said something like asking her to leave Yunqi, then Hua Xiyan could be sure that this national teacher was a "nursery". But the national teacher did not speak according to Hua Xiyan's thoughts: "I'll just draw a talisman for you." ”
It's that simple? Hua Xiyan raised his eyebrows, wondering if he was thinking too sinister of people's hearts.
The national teacher was stunned by Hua Xiyan's questioning expression, walked to the table to the side and sat down, picked up the wolf ink stained with vermilion, and called to Hua Xiyan: "Come here." ”
Hua Xiyan walked over as she said, she wanted to see what tricks this national teacher was going to play.
The national teacher swept the dust on Huaxi Yan's body a few times, chanted words in his mouth, and began to write and draw on a piece of yellow paper with his eyes half-closed.
Hua Xiyan looked around at the room, looking at the doors and windows that were open just now but now they were closed, and a strange feeling flashed in his heart.
Specifically, it was not clear what was weird, Hua Xiyan frowned, looking at the national teacher's eyes with a little vigilance.
The national teacher muttered while smearing on the paper, and the only voice in the silent hall was the chattering voice of the national teacher.
Suddenly, I heard an earth-shattering shout from outside: "Go out of the water-"
