Chapter 8, and leave the new moon for tonight
The winter of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan came very late, and the cold seemed to go away with the autumn slaughter.
Li Chengqian's death has gradually faded from the topic of Chang'an City, and the people are talking more about Princess Wencheng's upcoming trip to Tufan in the spring, and such a topic makes this year's winter seem much warmer.
The snakes in the imperial dining room did not hibernate, but stretched out and spit out letters in the cage. The scales on the snake's body glow faintly under the reflection of the light, and the slight fishy smell in the air makes people retreat.
"Move quickly, if you miss the princess's business, you will definitely have your heads moved!!"
Xiao Xiang sat in the soft sedan chair, listening to the shouting sound from inside, looking a little tired. This snake gall is extremely important to her, and she would rather brave the wind and snow to get it herself than dare to pretend to be someone else's hand. After closing her eyes slightly, the bloodless face of the debate machine appeared in front of her eyes, and she really regretted it in her heart. If I had known that he would do so, I would not have understood it so clearly that day......
My thoughts couldn't help but fly back to a month ago, when I returned to the princess's mansion from the palace......
"Is the antidote to the defense?" She had just entered the mansion, and before she had time to change her mourning clothes, she urgently summoned Xun Yeyu for questioning. The reply she got was naturally yes, and she was slightly relieved, and Xi Xi changed the clothes on her body for her.
It has been three days since Li Chengqian's Zigong Feng'an Yuling, and in addition to his children's younger generations, brothers and sisters of the same generation can get rid of the mourning clothes and change back to regular clothes. Xiao Xiang didn't have any feelings for him, and he was forced to wear mourning clothes for him in the past few days, and he was very happy that he could be replaced.
Although Xun Yeyu told the defense machine that he had already gotten the medicine, z-z-z-c--o-m was updated the fastest. If you don't see him in your own hands, it's safe. My heart is like carrying a place, and I am always uneasy. She raised her eyes to look at herself in the bronze mirror.
The palace maid who was in charge of combing her hair had already pulled up the Mochizuki bun for her. Her full forehead was accentuated by her high cloud sideburns. A golden chain passed through her hair, and the bright red gems swayed slowly on her forehead like droplets. Two golden hairpins pass through the hair. Pick off a trace of broken hair, and fall just right on the ear, adding a line of charm.
There was only a layer of rouge swept on her face, and the pale pink color highlighted her fine porcelain skin, in the early morning winter sun. Shine with a moist glow.
After dressing up, she walked out slowly and headed straight for the debater's quarters.
Somehow, on such a cool autumn day, there was a trace of sweat oozing out of her palms. The heart was beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of my throat. Maybe it was because of the factor of walking too fast, there was a sudden darkness in front of her, and she hurriedly supported the pillar on the side, so that she didn't fall.
Raising his hand, he stopped Xi Xi's panic about wanting to speak. She waited a moment before stepping out again. When I stepped down the steps, my eyes inadvertently fell on my wrists. The glamorous blood beads glowed faintly, and the brilliance flowed throughout the bead string. There seems to be life. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Maybe her life was really taken away by this witch cult......
She owes Midnight. Do you want to redeem it with two earthly lives?
Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, and the cold air was inhaled from his nose into his lungs, making people feel a little painful. In that case, she could no longer hold back...... Life is short, and there are flowers to break.
Debaters always get up early, even in the princess's mansion.
Now that the hour has just arrived, he is already chanting Buddhist scriptures. Xiao Xiang stood outside the door and listened to the sound of chanting scriptures from the room. The voice was very pleasant, and it was subdued and stopped, one after another.
She waved away Xi Xi and stood in front of the door to listen carefully.
His voice trickled out like water through the cracks in the doors and windows, just as the gentle and calm tone of his voice at that time. There was a chant of Sanskrit, and after a moment the voice grew lower, but a deep sigh came from within.
Xiao Xiang twisted his eyebrows, and wanted to push the door in, but heard the voice of the debate machine come again: "From love gives birth to sorrow, from love gives birth to fear; Where is the fear of being free from love? That's why don't love, love parting is suffering. If there is no love or hatred, he is unbound. ”
She is not familiar with Buddhist scriptures, and all she knows is from TV, and at most she has read one or two books such as "Zen and Life". But even if she doesn't understand the Buddhist scriptures, she can understand the sentences that the debate machine is saying at this moment.
That's why don't love, love parting is suffering...... She was not annoyed, but a little pleased.
If a person has never thought of love, how can one think that love is suffering? Thinking about the love of the house, he really didn't deceive himself, the corners of Xiao Xiang's lips couldn't help but bend slightly, and the idea of telling him his mind was even more firm, and he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The chant's voice stopped the moment she knocked on the door, and after a slight silence, she heard the debater ask inside, "Who?" ”
"It's me." Xiao Xiang responded, "Can I come in?" As soon as the words landed, the door was opened from the inside, and the debater, dressed in a gray monk's robe, saluted: "The poor monk has seen the princess." ”
Xiao Xiang had a faint smile in his eyes, and said softly, "Won't you invite me in?" She no longer wants to call Bianji a Zen master, she doesn't want him to be a Zen master......
"Please." The debater stepped aside, a complicated glint flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Xiang didn't ignore it, but he didn't break it, he still smiled and walked slowly. The room is still his usual style, plain and simple, there are three Buddha statues on the desk in the center, and the sandalwood in the incense burner has just been extinguished, and the last red light is flashing and flashing. The smell of sandalwood was still in the house, and it hadn't gone away.
Xiao Xiang sat down at the table and looked up at the debate machine standing on the side: "The antidote is edible?" ”
She seemed very close to her words, and she wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, took a step back, and saluted again: "The poor monk Princess Xie cares, and it is no longer in the way." ”
"That's fine." Xiao Xiang nodded, his face flushed uncontrollably. Although she had made up her mind to explain her mind to the debate, she couldn't say anything when it came to the end.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward and ambiguous at this moment. She unconsciously turned the blood beads on her hands, not knowing how to open her mouth to provoke the idea of persuading him to return to the world. "The poor monk already has a way to remove the magic beads from the princess's hands." This time, it was the debater who spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere, he turned around and took out a piece of paper from the cabinet on the side, and gently placed it in front of Xiao Xiang.
"It's all the materials needed to remove the orb, but there are ten of them, and I can't find them anymore." He took a deep breath, and that complicated look appeared from the bottom of his eyes again, "It's expedient, the poor monk has to use another risky method...... I hope the princess will cooperate. ”
Xiao Xiang glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "What method?" ”
