"Master, what's wrong with you?"

It's night, Jade House.

Yu Ziju had already fallen asleep, but Wen Xianchu was not sleepy because he was a little entangled in his heart. So after confirming several times that Yu Ziju would not wake up for a while, Wen Xianchu quietly put on his clothes and walked out of the room, wanting to go to the garden to relax. However, as soon as he closed the door and turned around, he saw Qing Shi sitting in the garden staring at the night sky in a daze.

"Lord Wen."

I didn't expect Wen Xianchu to suddenly appear at this hour, and Qing Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Lord Wen hasn't slept yet?"

"Can't sleep."

Wen Xianchu smiled bitterly and walked over to sit next to Qing Shi.

"Isn't the master still asleep at such a late hour?"

"Hmm."

responded lightly, and Qing Shi was silent. Originally, he was also very upset tonight, so he wanted to calm down in the quiet night, but he didn't expect that he happened to meet Wen Xianchu, who also couldn't sleep, as soon as he sat here.

Therefore, after being silent for a while, Qing Shi suddenly had the idea of chatting with Wen Xianchu temporarily.

"Mr. Wen can't sleep, but it's because ...... And the young master's thing? ”

"Yes."

A little surprised to look at the Qing Shi who seemed to be a little different from the usual pure inaction, Wen Xianchu asked with some hesitation:

"Master...... But also have something on your mind? ”

"Hehe, yes."

Qingfu clasped his hands together, silently recited "sin", and then temporarily put aside the precepts and rules, and continued to stare up at the clear night sky.

"Mr. Wen, since you and I meet under the moon tonight, why don't you put aside those worldly rules for the time being and chat?"

"Okay."

With a gentle smile, Wen Xianchu was both surprised but a little pleased with Qingshi's proposal, as if it was a very good thing for someone to listen to his thoughts.

"Then it's better to tell Lord Wen Shi about your heart first."

Putting the Buddha beads in his hand into his arms, Qing Shi turned his head and glanced at Wen Xianchu, who looked up and smiled.

"Okay."

Although I don't know why this master of Qingsha is so abnormal tonight, it is rare to have such a quiet night to talk to people about his thoughts, so Wen Xianchu doesn't plan to worry about anything anymore.

"Actually, my heart, the master also knows."

"Is it related to the young master?"

Although it was a question, Qing Shi already knew it in his heart.

"Yes."

Wen Xianchu sighed, and there was a strong emotion in his tone.

"When I came to Bo Yanguo, it wasn't because of Ziju, but because the experience in Yu was not very pleasant, or a little ...... It's painful, so I'm just holding on to it...... I wanted to change places and start a new life. But...... But I didn't expect it...... I would...... It's going to be ......."

"You actually like the young master?"

Listening to Wen Xianchu's words, he explained.

"Yes."

Wen Xianchu kept twisting the corners of his clothes with his fingers.

"Once, in Yuguo, I have a very, very favorite person, the two of us grew up together, learned drama together, played together, and made trouble together, although ...... Although he is just a simple brotherly to me, I still like him and protect him without hesitation. But then, he ...... Died in vain for some reason. When I learned that he had gone to Yellow Springs, I was angry and angry, so I risked my life to assassinate the man who had killed him in vain in order to avenge him...... However, I failed. ”

Thinking of the person who used to follow him since he was a child, would sweetly call himself "senior brother", and would secretly leave delicious food for himself was no longer there, Wen Xianchu still felt very painful in his heart, so painful that even his breathing was trembling. So he paused, and after barely calming himself down, he continued:

"When the assassination failed, I had already planned to die to accompany him, but to my surprise, the culprit who killed him actually released me...... At this point, I knew that I would never have the opportunity to avenge him again in this life, I thought that my life might be spent aimlessly, and I also thought that I would remember him and love him for the rest of my life...... But...... But, God just let me meet Ziju. ”

As soon as Yu Ziju was mentioned, Wen Xianchu's face flashed with a shallow smile that even he hadn't noticed.

"But, Master, do you know? In fact, at the beginning, I really didn't like Ziju, and even a little ...... Hate him. Although I have to admit that when I saw Ziju for the first time, I was dazzled by his evil and wanton appearance, but the presumptuous, scrutinizing gaze he gave me when he looked at me made me feel like I was a fish slaughtered on a chopping board, or I felt like I was the prey of a fierce beast, which made me feel very uncomfortable...... And in the beginning, he always lied to me...... However, I didn't expect it......"

Turning his head to look at the explanation that was very serious, Wen Xianchu chuckled.

"However, I didn't expect that I would slowly like him."

"This is the fate that the young master and Mr. cultivated in their previous lives."

Listening to Wen Xianchu's slow narration of his past, Qing Shi was very surprised, he didn't expect that this person who had always looked as gentle as jade would be able to assassinate others for love!

However, after being silent for a moment, Qing Shi seemed to be quite emotional, so he said slowly: "It is difficult to control oneself in love, so Mr. is better to go with his heart." ”

"Go with the flow? But, Master, how difficult it is to go along with one's heart! ”

Thinking of the way Master Yu has always been cold to himself since he knew about his relationship with Yu Ziju, and remembering that because of himself, Ziju has repeatedly talked back to Master Yu and even looked at each other angrily, Wen Xian was initially moved and helpless, and he was more at a loss and confused, he didn't know that he should stick to his relationship with Ziju as Qing Shi said? Or should fulfill a father's love for his son, leave here early, and start a new life.

"Is it difficult?"

Qing Shi shook his head.

"People are born to suffer, so there will be all kinds of difficulties in life. Has Lord Wen ever seen anyone whose life has been smooth sailing? ”

“……”

Seeing that Wen Xianchu was silent, Qing Shi was not surprised, but continued:

"Babies come into this world crying from birth; Ordinary people, for food, clothing, and survival, spend every day in hardship; Wealthy businessmen seem to be carefree, but they also have their sadness and fatigue, just like the jade family, like the old man; Even the emperor seems to be on top, but he must have his loneliness and helplessness. Therefore, difficulties are not a problem, the biggest problem is how people should try to overcome difficulties and solve difficulties. ”

"Yes...... Is it like this? ”

Carefully savoring the words of Qing Shi, Wen Xianchu seemed to suddenly have an understanding.

"The master's words, Xian Chu has been taught!"

Yes, who of all the people in this world is not born to suffer? It's just that the good and evil deeds accumulated in previous lives are probably poor, so some people have suffered more, and some people have experienced less.

"It's good that Lord Wen understands, in fact, when encountering difficulties, although escape is also a way to deal with it, it is a good strategy. Therefore, instead of using this kind of strategy that is very likely to fail to solve the difficulty, it is better to think about how to deal with it and use the best strategy to solve the difficulty with more certainty. ”

Speaking of this, Qing Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, so his expression became a little mocking.

"I probably ...... I see. ”

Wen Xianchu nodded thoughtfully, but when he saw Qingshi's changing expression, he asked:

"Then I don't know what is on the mind of Master Qingshi?"

"It's late at night, is Lord Wen interested in hearing about the poor monk's past?"

Turning his head to look at Wen Xianchu, who was no longer confused and at a loss, Qing Shi asked.

"If the master doesn't dislike Xian Chu, the listener, Xian Chu will naturally listen to him."

Xiang Qingshi smiled back with a slight gratitude, and Wen Xianchu also looked up at the night sky where birds occasionally passed by.

"Haha, but the poor monk doesn't know how to tell stories, and ...... It's been a long time since I've told a story to others, so Master Wen will listen to it casually. ”

After closing his eyes, he cleared and calmed the complex emotions that were surging in his heart.

"And ah, this story is a bit long, probably from five years ago."

"Five years ago?"

"Yes, five years ago."

Probably because he remembered the past, Qingshi's thoughts began to ethereal.

"What happened five years ago?"

Although in the dim night, because Qing Shi deliberately didn't turn his head a little, Wen Xianchu couldn't see Qing Shi's expression clearly at this time. However, he could just feel a trace of sadness emanating from Qing Shi's body, because Qing Shi's appearance at this time was so similar to his appearance after he learned that Jiu Ling had gone west!

"Five years ago, when the poor monk was still a layman, he once hurt a person out of his own heart, or in other words, he was ashamed of a family."

While thinking back to the events of the year, Kiyoshi struggled to control his gradually unstable emotions.

"That'...... But it had something to do with the boy I met on the street that day. ”

As soon as Qing Shi said this, Wen Xianchu suddenly remembered that after he left the Jade Mansion, when he was entangled by that disciple on the street that day, when Qing Shi suddenly appeared to relieve himself, there was a purple-clothed man, who seemed to have something between him and Qing Shi that made him difficult to let go.

Although every time he recalled the embarrassing things on the street that day, Wen Xianchu was a little uncomfortable. But fortunately, at this time, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, the light was dim, and Qing Shi did not look back at himself, so Wen Xianchu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi gathered his thoughts a little and then began to tell his story.
