Fall asleep unconsciously.

The next morning, Ran Yan woke up at the sound of the morning bell and chanting of the Yuncong Temple at the foot of the mountain. As soon as it collapsed, Jinghui was found.

After Ran Yan finished explaining last night, he must keep the phantom sky today, in order to wait for Jinghui to come.

Ran Yan still remembers the impression of the first time she saw this nun a month ago, she was about thirty years old, she was slender and long, with a long neck, a thin melon seed face, and her facial features looked very light against the backdrop of a tie dress, and she couldn't be more ordinary.

This time, Ran Yan looked at Jinghui carefully without moving, she was still the same, but her facial features were also thoughtful, not a beauty, but not bad, with a gentle bearing. His clothes were clean, and his shoes were very little dirty.

Ran Yan ordered Gelan to make tea, and she chatted with Jinghui about a lot of phantom things in this free time.

Ran Yan was surprised, this female nun who did not look amazing actually had a noble temperament, especially when looking at her, Ran Yan was obvious, her eyes were neither humble nor arrogant, with a touch of nobility, which was rare in ancient times, even in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary ladies would never have such a temperament.

Jinghui is either the same as Ran Yan, or he was an official eunuch before becoming a monk. Ran Yan felt that the latter was the most likely.

"Phantom Sky seems to be very timid, was it frightened when he was a child?" Ran Yan rubbed the tea bowl, but he didn't drink it, the Tang Dynasty liked to put salt, orange peel, dogwood, etc., and Ran Yan couldn't get used to this messy taste.

Jinghui flicked the cuffs with one hand, picked up the tea bowl with the other, took a sip of tea, and put down the tea bowl before replying, "When I was her, she was living on the streets, and I think she was frightened a lot in the past. ”

"Well, she may have been frightened by the sight of her mother's grave for the first two days, and she is so good with the evening green, it is better to let them play together for a few days, maybe it will ease the fear in her heart." Ran Yan looked at the courtyard, Phantom Sky was tilting his bare head, looking at Wan Lu who was frowning and copying medical books, and from time to time he ridiculed two sentences, and Wan Lu was about to go violently.

Jinghui's eyes flashed with a trace of inexplicability, but what finally overflowed was joy and doting, "That's fine, this child can rarely get along with people, and if she can hand it over, I'll be relieved." ”

After sitting for a while, Jinghui got up to say goodbye, and she stood in the courtyard and explained a few words to the phantom sky under the porch.

Ran Yan carefully observed the communication between the two, and Phantom Kong treated Jinghui extremely respectfully, as if he was very respectful and afraid, and wanted to please him.

Obviously, the seemingly gentle Jinghui should not be gentle when he treats the phantom void at ordinary times.

Not long after Jinghui left, after Ran Yan finished breakfast, he immediately went down the mountain to find Liu Pinrang, and the terrifying bones of yesterday should provide a lot of clues.

The fog in the mountains has not yet dissipated, and from the middle of the mountain, Yuncong Temple is in a red and yellow forest, and you can only faintly see the flying corners of the house.

Walking to the forest, the clogs stepped on the thick fallen leaves, soft, a little slippery, the leaves on the trees soaked in rain were shiny, a gust of wind blew, and many water droplets fell on the trees.

Evening Green hurriedly helped Ran Yan to lift the umbrella.

There was a bang, and water droplets flowed down the plain umbrella.

As soon as the two of them stood in front of the side door, the guard asked aloud, "Is the lady Ran Seventeen Niang?" ”

"Exactly." Ran Yan said.

The official opened the side door and said, "According to the envoy, you will meet this morning and let you go directly to Master Huaiyin's meditation room." ”

Ran Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Thank you." ”

"Don't dare." The official retreated to the side and let Ran Yan in, there was a small novice waiting in the door, and when he heard the words of the officer, he sang a Buddha horn to Ran Yan, "Lord Ran, please come with the little monk." ”

"There is labor." Ran Yanxin secretly said, Xiao Song is also too well prepared, he can be sure that she will definitely come?

Led by a little novice, he took a shortcut from the temple and passed through a fiery maple forest, and soon saw a lonely wooden house built in the middle of the forest, in front of which there was a ginkgo tree with two people hugging each other, and in front of the porch was placed a half-man high water tank, and the water flowing from the eaves gurgled into it, and the sound of crisp water sounded, and there were circles of ripples on the water surface.

There was a circle of government soldiers standing around the wooden house, with cold iron armor and oil-paper umbrellas, which had a strange beauty.

Xiao Shami led Ran Yan to the front of the wooden house, bowed slightly and said, "Master Ran, this is it, Liu Tingshi and Xiao Zhicha have already arrived before the morning class is over, please go in alone." ”

Ran Yan turned around and told Wan Lu to wait elsewhere with Xiao Shami, and then took off his sandals in front of the porch, and when he went to the front of the door to raise his hand, he heard a magnetic voice inside, "Come in." ”

Ran Yan's hand paused in mid-air, and then pushed open the wooden door and walked in, a sandalwood mixed with a familiar light fragrance came to his face.

It is the scent of hosta flowers......

The situation in the house is clear at a glance, a bamboo couch, a few, a low bookshelf, on which a few thick stacks of scriptures are placed dangerously. And the smell that Ran Yan smelled was wafting from the incense burner on several places.

Huai Yinxun sat on the futon in front of him, Liu Pinrang and Xiao Song sat on the left and right, Yu Bohao sat on Liu Pinrang's hand, and Liu Qingsong sat on the right rear of Xiao Song.

"Seventeen Niang, please be seated." Xiao Song glanced at her and said lightly.

Huaiyin folded his hands and quietly performed a Buddha salute to Ran Yan, the bronze carved incense burner in front of him was sandalwood, and the mist covered his shallow and alienated appearance, as if he was a Buddha.

After Ran Yan sat down with Yu Bohao's hand, Xiao Song said, "Master, please continue." ”

Huaiyin bowed slightly, and Qingyue's voice said, "Phantom Kong's mother is called Yang Yu, the daughter of Emperor Yang, after the death of Sui, I took her to escape from Daxing City (Chang'an), I was ten years old that year, she was old. We went all the way to the southeast and lived a reclusive life in Jiangning City. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently stirred the incense burner in front of him with a bamboo strip, and the smoke became thicker and thicker, covering most of his face, but Ran Yan clearly saw that he frowned slightly, as if he was smoked, and there was a hidden light in his phoenix eyes.

Ran Yan already understood at this time that Huaiyin was telling about the events of the year, and it was very likely that it was the beginning of this case, and this seemingly heavenly monk Huaiyin was the murderer?

"In the fifth year of Wude, we met Ayu's cousin Yang Ying in Jiangning, she lived in the dust, made a living by performing arts, and later redeemed herself, quite a little savings, at that time I and Ayu had a very hard time, and her arrival made us all relieved. So the three of us lived together. Yang Ying is older than Ah Yu, and she is already a twenty-year-old woman in the fifth year of Wude, and her ability to make a living is beyond the reach of Ah Yu and me, so she quickly became our pillar. And with her help, I helped people compile books in the bookstore, and I had a thin income. ”

Except that Yang Ying has become a twenty-year-old girl, the story is here, and it is very satisfying.

But if it had been successful, there would not have been such a scene as it is today.

Huaiyin dialed the small leaf red sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand, and the dark brown round beads reflected his fair and slender hands, which were particularly beautiful.

"In the seventh year of Wude, Ayu has reached the age of ten, I have saved a lot of savings as a book editor and a teaching assistant in state studies, and my teacher has given me the opportunity to enter the country to study and study, I am full of joy, and I feel that it is time to propose to Ayu. We have no father or mother, but Ah Yu has a cousin, and has always taken good care of us, according to the etiquette I should propose to her, I first told Ah Yu privately about this, Ah Yu also agreed, we swore under the moon under emotion, cut hair for the alliance, and made a private decision for life. ”

Ran Yan's heart jumped, and he swore an oath under the moon and cut his hair for an alliance......

Xiao Song said, "You tie up your cut hair with ribbons, your hair is tied with blue satin, and Yang Yu's hair is tied with red satin. ”

Huaiyin faintly brought the surprise on his face, and his thin lips pursed slightly, which was regarded as acquiescing to Xiao Song's words.

Ran Yan and the others were shocked, feeling that the beginning and end of this murder case were about to be completely revealed in front of them, and they were even more attentive to Huaiyin's words at the moment.

"On the morning of the eighth day of the seventh month of Wude, when Ah Yu combed my hair, he asked me about the lack of hair, and I didn't know. Two days later, she forced me to ask why I was married to her for life, but she made a private relationship with Yang Ying, and cut her hair as an oath. At that time, I didn't think about explaining it for a while, because I hadn't done it, and I didn't know it, I just thought that I had a clear conscience and was open. ”

One thing after another, Huaiyin remembered it very clearly, and the face that had always been indifferent finally fell into the mortal dust, even though the expression was extremely subtle.

"Alas, it's still going to be coaxed." Liu Qingsong couldn't help but sigh, with his infinite qualifications in reading human feelings, he had a premonition that the sad and heartbreaking part was about to start, so he sighed in advance.

Huaiyin's hand twisting the Buddha beads paused slightly, and continued to move, "Ah Yu asked several times to no avail, and then began to gradually alienate me, so I went to Yang Ying and asked her what she had done. Yang Ying said that she was in love with me, so she begged Ah Yu and wanted to work with her, maybe Ah Yu had a misunderstanding because of this. I knew that Ah Yu was a woman, and she would never agree to such a request. ”

After a few days of stalemate like this, Yang Ying told me privately that after she showed her intentions, since she couldn't get the result, it would be troublesome to stay, so she wanted to go to Suzhou and ask me to give her a ride. I thought that after she left, the relationship between me and Ah Yu might return to the same as before, so I agreed to her, but I was afraid that it would not be safe for Ah Yu to be left alone in Suzhou, so I decided to take her with me. Yang Ying said that she was sorry for Ah Yu first, so she wanted to say goodbye to Ah Yu in person, so I put aside my doubts about hair and answered her. ”

Liu Qingsong slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Later, Ah Yu must have been heartbroken and asked you: did you decide to go to Suzhou with Yang Ying, but didn't tell her?" Isn't this Yang Ying, it's really scheming."

Huai Yin glanced at him lightly, but he didn't feel that it was inappropriate to kindly call a person he had never met "Ah Yu".

Liu Qingsong's words are not difficult to understand, Yang Ying only needs to say vaguely to Yang Yu: I am going to Suzhou with him, and he can't rest assured that you can't be relieved, so he is going to take you with him, are you willing to go?

Yang Yu, who has always suspected that they have a personal relationship, will definitely mistakenly think that they have made up their minds and decide to settle in Suzhou, and by the way, he will definitely feel betrayed in his heart.

"Ah Yu asked me if I wanted to go to Suzhou with Yang Ying, I only answered yes, and she went out of the door." Huaiyin's words also confirmed Liu Qingsong's speculation, and Yang Ying was a hindrance and provoked the feelings between them.

"And then? You're just going to break up? Where did the void come from? Liu Qingsong's words were clearly suspicious, and Phantom Sky was the daughter of Huaiyin and Yang Yu.

Yes By].
