In April of the first year of the Qianming Dynasty, Gao Yi, the eldest princess of the auxiliary country, invited herself out of the palace to pray for Emperor Wenxuan, and cut her hair as a nun in Qingming Temple.

Gao Wanyue sat on the bed, surrounded by dark darkness, there was no candle flame in the room, but through the bright moonlight, you could clearly see everything in the room, there was no precious curtain to block the moonlight, and now it seems that the moonlight can also be dazzling.

There is only a simple arrangement in this room, enshrined in the Buddha statue, there is a huge puff mat under the Buddha statue, the yellow satin on it is old, as if it has not been changed for a long time, she kneels on the pouch mat, her hands are folded, and her mouth is reading the scriptures that she has been learning for the past few days.

Because tonight has passed, tomorrow she will have to lose her hair as a nun, a black hair poured down, she was reluctant to look, wantonly felt the feeling of their drape on her shoulders, if there was no such hair, how ugly would it be?

Maybe it's because this word of proverb really has the effect of meditation, she just feels that time passes slowly, the sun rises and the moon sets is the only way to record time, and no one will come to ask her to care about state affairs, she is like an isolated person,

In this room, the ears did not hear the things outside the window, only to the green lantern ancient Buddha, this life passed in a hurry, the hand plucked the Buddha beads one after another, suddenly, Gao Wanyue opened his eyes, the silver-gray eyes flashed with cold light, torn off the silk thread, the Buddha beads fell to the ground, tick-tock, rolling down to the ground and scattered.

She is not willing to stay here for the rest of her life, this is not her best destination, she is not the eldest princess now, and she doesn't want to be trapped in this dark Buddhist temple like this,

Accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for a lifetime, the bits and pieces in this red dust can not be forgotten, this may be the six impurities that the Buddhists say, so she has not yet become a Buddha, and still wants to crawl in this red dust.

That day, when I heard Huan Yu talk about Yuan Yu, in fact, he had been in dire straits, but on the surface, she couldn't see it, in fact, she had already known that Da Wei had fallen apart, but she didn't want to believe that her opponent was gone, so there was no need to return to the chaotic court.

After all, it was they who were unkind and righteous first, and it was not that they abandoned them, and they were just one of the abandoned ones on the road of the emperor!

And all kinds of things in the world can only be found from the wild history:

In 553 AD, when Emperor Yuan of Wei was the king of Qi, Na Yuwen was the princess of Qi. In 554 AD, Yuan Shu ascended the throne and canonized Yuwen as the queen. From then on, Emperor Wei Yuan only guarded Empress Yuwen and did not appoint any concubines.

Empress Yuwen, Zhicao Mingxiu, good conduct, deeply loved by Emperor Yuan of Wei Yuan, the two loved each other very much, in April 557 AD, Yuwen Jue officially called the emperor on behalf of Wei, established the Northern Zhou regime, Emperor Yuan of Wei was killed by Yuwen Jue, Empress Yuwen also volunteered to be buried, and then drank and died.

In this way, he is long gone, but the person he saw that night was obviously Yuan Shu, what is the reason for this? But in the dark, it always felt as if he had never left his surroundings.

Looking at the Buddhist beads scattered all over the ground, she didn't even have the desire to reach out to pick them up, she just looked at them in a daze, as if she was looking at something unfamiliar.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed on the roof, obscuring the moonlight for a moment, and the man's shadow flashed in front of Gao Wanyue's eyes, but as if he saw some hope, the corners of his mouth smiled slyly, but it seemed to have some sense of blame, and he whispered: "It's too late." ”

"I'm sorry, my princess." The man outside the door pushed open the door, and he was also carrying a woman on his shoulder, he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but it looked a little similar to Gao Wanyue, he put the woman on the ground, looked at her unfamiliar face, and was a little puzzled.

"Who is she?" Gao Wanyue asked the purple-clothed Huan Lu in front of her, because only he would wear purple, and only he would call himself 'My Royal Highness the Princess', since she saw her in the prison that day, she knew that one day Huan Yu would definitely come back to save her from the sea of suffering.

"This woman was originally a dead soldier under Xiao Ke, and in the future, she will pretend to be the eldest princess of the auxiliary country, Gao Yi, in this Qingming Temple to cultivate, and you will live freely, but you don't have the power you once had, are you willing?" There was a bit of indifference in Huan Yu's voice, more like she was afraid that she would not be able to let go of power,

If she is still willing to spend her life in this temple as the eldest princess of the auxiliary country, he will also respect her choice and will not disobey, everyone will have their own choice, no one can force it, but what he can do now is to help her steal the beams and change the pillars!

"Isn't that unfair to her?" Gao Wanyue looked at the woman on the ground, although she was never masked, but she couldn't affect her life for no reason, if someone had to be here to hide people's eyes, then she could only be her own choice!

"You don't have to blame yourself, otherwise the lives of the dead soldiers can only die in the mission, if you can't be replaced safely, then you can only send more dead soldiers to attack here, but the pure land of Buddhism, it's better to kill less!" In his heart, there is still some fear of the gods, and it is not enough to be in the place where he cultivates here, and the blood is flowing like a river.

It is best to calm this turmoil without moving, and if you really can't resolve the grievances between the two parties, then even if you give it a go, you will not hesitate to do so.

"Are you trying to deceive the Buddha and slander the ancestors?" Gao Wanyue asked him, looking at his confident appearance, the corner of his mouth chuckled, looking at the Buddha statue in the Buddha shrine, the appearance of the Buddha there looked kind and kind, it should not be counted so much!

For the gods and Buddhas, she has always been respectful, do not believe in the existence of this power, but she is very afraid in her heart, and sometimes because of her own sins, and seek the so-called liberation, in this life and this life may have too many karma on the body, can only make up for the atonement in the next life.

However, what he wants to do now must be done to the people he wants to save or protect, and he must also protect, which is also the last in his life

The meaning, just like him, didn't know that he would die at any time, just like duckweed, wandering all his life, but now, all he was thinking about was how to make her happy, so it was also a wish before he died.

"Do you want me to give up Gao Yi's identity?" Gao Wanyue stood in place, said in a trembling voice, looking at the woman's face, Ruhua had to go through so many things at her age, the same as herself, but now she wants to be free even more, you came here for the same purpose, what she wanted, no one can stop it.

Giving up everything, becoming an ordinary person, living a dull life in the future, and only following their own hearts, these things are the most difficult to do in the past, but now, as long as you give up this identity that does not belong to her, you can get the freedom and happiness at your fingertips, which seems to be a good choice.

Gao Wanyue turned her head to look at the bright moon in the sky, how many beautiful things are still there, and they have not been discovered, they will be trapped in this temple for a lifetime, and naturally they will not choose this path.

The long strands of hair, scattered freely on her chest, she twisted a strand of green silk and fiddled with it in her hands, over and over again, just to caress the hair from the beginning, feeling smooth and tender, if she doesn't leave here, tomorrow these hairs will lose their vitality, like withered grass and no longer belong to herself, a woman who has lost her hair will be as ugly as a demon, no, she can't become like this.

"Have you decided?" Huan Yu asked softly, "If you can't let go of those false names, Xiao Ke can't do anything." Sometimes he doesn't understand why the world chooses to sell his fame and reputation, and he can't let go of those precious identities, just like he can't let go of a thousand pounds of burden, and he is more like different from them, sometimes it seems that the deceitful and famous, it seems that it is easier to let go, which does not belong to their fame.

"Huan, let's go! There's no one to get out of here, and you can trap me! He remembered that from the very beginning of her time here, all she wanted was to be free, not to be at the mercy of anyone.

But she forgot the most important point, her body was involuntary because of her overnight identity, and if she was really just an insignificant person from the beginning, I am afraid that there would not be so many disturbances.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, they left the temple, Gao Wanyue lay on Huan's back, and looked back at the towering stone wall, which was more like a tall and strong cage, locking everyone inside, unable to contact the outside world,

And there are many people, may you keep this faith in your heart, and dedicate your life here, it is true that this is a sacred place, and there are those who are willing to sacrifice everything for their beliefs, which is undoubtedly great, but all this should be based on the principle of voluntariness, and not like her, who is trapped here and powerless,

It was wrong to impose this kind of thinking on her from the beginning, and it should have been a moment of crisis, and people clung to the straw to believe that such a power could solve all the difficulties in front of them, and it was not by relying on trust

kind of faith, to live an ordinary life.

"Where is General Ahn?" Gao Wanyue is relieved to hand over everything to him, because he is thoughtful, can think in front of him, and can arrange everything in an orderly manner.

"Xiao Ke, I'll take you to General An." He smiled indifferently, maybe success was the only thing he could do, just like he had tried every possible way to match her and Yuan Yu again, but now all this is impossible, heaven and man are forever separated, and the fate of this life has been destined to become a fact, and no one can change it.

"Thank you, Huan." Gao Wanyue lay on his back, feeling like that, relieved and relaxed, "I seem to owe you a thank you all along, in fact, I am no longer the eldest princess, and you are no longer the so-called eldest princess, we can become friends." ”

From the beginning, it was the existence of mutual use, but slowly in this use of friendship was born, Gao Wanyue is now also self-reflecting, is it too much to take everything for granted,

But she still has to learn to be grateful, Huan Yu has paid so much for herself, it is really impossible to repay her, but she has been taking advantage of his trust and enthusiasm, he is at this point, just like with Yuan Yu, and he also learned such a cold-blooded existence from him.

She found that since she chose to let go of this relationship that ended without a problem, her personality seems to have changed a lot, and it seems to be more and more like Yuan Yu.

And he learned how to hurt his emotions before, all of which he learned to hurt the people around him, those who were important to him, were all hurt by himself.

But now she needs to learn to change, she needs to get rid of the shadow that person brought to herself, find her own appearance again, learn how to be her true self, and never forget her original intention.

Huan Yu didn't answer, because he didn't know what to say at the moment, friend? It sounds more like an unfamiliar word, they are originally from the same school, and they have the feeling of comrades, maybe this kind of friendship can be called the friendship in her mouth.

Yecheng's nights always have a cold feeling, but on his back, there is a trace of warmth, "Huanlu, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Since she decided to give up her former identity and live an ordinary life, Gao Wanyue has already made up her mind to live in seclusion in the mountains with An Youjue, which is what she has always wanted to do, and now she can finally do it, think about him will also feel happy.

"Later?" At this moment, he only knew that he was running forward with Gao Wanyue on his back, towards that destination, without the slightest pause, she was on his back, as if there was nothing important, so thin, he never thought about the future problems she said, maybe there was no future in his life.

"yes, what kind of life do you want to live in the future? Maybe you don't have any relatives around you anymore, why don't we live together in the future? ”

Gao Wanyue thought that he had changed, so don't go back to the same way as before

Indifferent, perhaps because he had too little contact with people in the past, he developed his withdrawn and arrogant character, if he had the company of friends, I am afraid it would be much better, not as extreme and arrogant as before.

Huan Yu stopped, stood in place, and put her down, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can only send you here." ”

After saying this, he turned around and left, to be honest, everything Gao Wanyuequn said touched his heart, but he couldn't stay, if I was my own person to stay by Gao Wanyue's side, I was afraid that it would only bring disaster to her, I may have been destined, such an ominous person, and now sending her here, I'm afraid it's the only thing he can do.

Gao Wanyue wanted to say something, but the way he left in a hurry allowed him to open his mouth and couldn't say anything, and when he turned around, he found An Youju standing in the distance looking at him.

But now she ran over with a smile and hugged him tightly, "Baby." An Youju also hugged each other tightly, but they had been separated for too long, and they were enjoying the heat in front of them.

"Where are we going?" Gao Wanyue asked affectionately in his ear, now she can completely let go and concentrate on being a little woman.
