At this moment, inside the Guangren Temple.

Li Mujiang didn't know when she came back here, she was sitting in a guest room, in front of an old lama with low eyebrows and kind eyes. Li Mujiang asked:

"The master is from Baiyuzhou?"

The old lama made a Buddhist ritual and said:

"Exactly, I wonder what the female benefactor has to say?"

Li Mujiang didn't ask questions immediately, but closed her eyes and exhaled deeply, as if there were countless past events surrounding her heart, which made her unable to help herself...... After a while, Li Mujiang slowly opened her eyes, she looked at the old lama, and asked slowly:

"The little woman wants to ask, does the master remember the fire outside Baiyu City in Baiyu Prefecture five years ago?"

The old lama nodded and said:

"Amitabha, naturally remember, the fire burned all night, the fire was so fierce that no one survived, alas, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hell of Abi......"

Although five years have passed, this merciful old lama still frowns and shakes his head, sighing, and it seems that the tragedy of the fire still teaches him to this day.

When Li Mujiang heard this answer, he asked eagerly:

"No one survived? Did the Guru see it with his own eyes? ”

The old lama pondered for a moment, then nodded again:

"At that time, my brothers and I were awakened in the middle of the night, and countless people rushed to fight the fire outside the city, until the fire was extinguished, and no injured person was seen, so no one survived, but I was afraid."

Li Mujiang still did not give up and said:

"Does the Guru know who went and who died?"

The expression on the old lama's face suddenly became a little strange:

"Hmm...... Amitabha, the female benefactor asked like this, and the old monk could not answer. ”

Li Mujiang saw that the old lama seemed to have something to say, so he respectfully asked:

"Please show me back."

The old lama sighed and said:

"Hey...... Don't you know, female donor, in this Baiyu Prefecture, there are Tibetans who preach the Dharma, there are exiled wolf people, there are troops sent by Great Qin, there are craftsmen who came to build the city from Great Qin, there are businessmen who do business, there are people in the rivers and lakes who come to hunt for curiosities, and there are also wanted criminals who escape from pursuit...... It can be said that it is the most mixed place in the world, people come here every day, and people also die every day, so if you ask me who I went to and who died, the old monk really didn't dare to say anything. ”

Li Mujiang had been to this Baiyu City in Baiyuzhou herself, so she naturally knew that what the old lama said was true, but the look on her face slowly dimmed...... She thought for a moment and asked one last question:

"That'...... After this, the Guru saw a very special person, his name was Tuoba Zhulu, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old at the time, and he was a man."

The old lama said strangely:

"The 'special' that the female donor said, I don't know what it is?"

At the mention of this person, Li Mujiang's tone and the expression on his face immediately became eager and excited, it seems that this "special person", he must be very special and important to Li Mujiang.

Li Mujiang's eyes seemed to have a flash of light, turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window, and said with a solemn expression:

He ...... I don't know how to describe it. He was a very special person, a person unlike anyone else in this world. You've seen him and you'll never forget it. ”

After the old lama thought carefully, Li Mujiang was very nervous, staring at the old lama's face tightly, and the slightest muscle twitch would make her heart tight......

After a long time, the old lama shook his head, folded his hands and said:

"Is that a person? It is true that the old monk has not seen it, and has not even heard of it......"

After Li Mujiang heard this, as if he had suffered a heavy blow out of thin air, the expression on his face froze, and even his breathing seemed to stop at this moment...... I don't know how long it took, I got up with difficulty, trembling like a drunk, and hugged my fists:

“…… Okay, thank you, Master, little woman retires. ”

There was a bang, the door was pushed open, Li Mujiang walked out, she climbed out of Guangren Temple, and staggered to the deserted street in the middle of the night.

She walked and walked, I don't know how long, she didn't know where the road was, and she didn't know where she was going, she staggered, step by step. Suddenly it rained in the sky, but she didn't realize it, and she kept walking.

It is a human tragedy that a decision made in anger will inevitably die because of a trivial setback.

Li Mujiang had never heard this sentence, but at this moment, the proverb was fulfilled in her body, and the pain caused by this tragedy had grown wildly in Li Mujiang's heart like a vine. But the wall in her heart had lost its foundation, and she had to let the vines grow until they collapsed......

Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck, lighting up the dark night, so Li Mujiang stopped, she looked up blankly, but saw that she was going around and around, and actually returned to the door of Guangren Temple!

It turned out that she thought she had been gone for a long, long time, but she was still spinning in circles.

Thunder rang out, and everything went dark. Li Mujiang felt the downpour pour on the plaque of Guangren Temple, poured on her body, and then seeped into her heart.

The heavy rain continued, but Li Mujiang still stood there in a daze.

If anyone could see her walking dead stiff posture at the moment, they would think that it was some kind of ghost; If anyone could see her expression at this time, they would think that this beautiful woman was carved out of wood; If you see her eyes, you can only see two things—

The left eye says tired, and the right eye says confused.

And exhaustion and confusion, when combined, are often referred to as despair.

At this moment, Li Mujiang seemed to have lost his soul.

Three days later............

Even in the wettest summer, Chang'an City, which has a dry climate, will not receive continuous rain.

But now, the rain that had been pouring in from late at night had been going on for days, and the rain had extinguished the summer heat. If you are only wearing single clothes on the street, there will even be a slight coolness, which can be described as extremely strange.

However, this afternoon, the rain has gradually subsided, and it seems that this continuous heavy rain is about to end, and the pedestrians on the street have gradually increased, and they have walked southeast with oil-paper umbrellas.

Li Mujiang didn't know where she was, and she didn't know when she was now, she just remembered that she kept drinking, getting drunk, drinking again, and getting drunk again...... The last moment before getting drunk was in the middle of the night, when the rain and thunder were mixed with the sound of rain, and I vomited in the dark, and then I fell asleep.

People are always so strange, they always say that they can get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows, that they can get rid of their fatigue and forget their worries when they are busy, and that they always think that as long as they do something, their worries and sorrows will not catch up with them. But they don't know that if you don't face it, those troubles and sorrows will always be there, and alcohol, tobacco and toil, will just make you think you have forgotten these things.

There is no escaping the sorrows and troubles in this world, but if you are a lucky person, maybe there are some things that life has given you that can give you the courage to face it strongly.

At this time, Li Mujiang seemed to be extremely unlucky.

She opened her hazy eyes, looked around, only to find that she was in a filthy, collapsed ruined temple, next to a jar of bad wine and scattered food, then remembered that night in Guangren Temple, she walked here in a daze, the only thought in her heart was to get drunk, so she turned into the farmer's house next door, took a jar of bad wine and simple food from the villagers, and came here, drunk and slept, slept and drank, drank and drunk, and couldn't help but burst into tears and involuntarily babble nonsense......

Then Li Mujiang remembered the conversation in Guangren Temple that night, she felt bitter in her heart, her eyes were red, and she reached out to the wine jar on the side without thinking about it.

But as soon as his mind moved, Li Mujiang found that his hands were as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them heavily.

Before Li Mujiang could wonder why she had become this strange appearance, suddenly an overwhelming headache struck, which made her ears buzz in pain, and her eyes turned white, and it took a while to gradually improve.

Li Mujiang reluctantly sat up straight and leaned against the wall, and involuntarily began to cough, coughing almost out of breath.

It turned out that the roof here was broken, and the rain was leaking, and she didn't pay attention to it after being drenched by the rain, but still drank or slept on her own, and for several days, even her iron body might not be able to withstand it. What's more, she suddenly changed and was depressed, so she drank heavily and gave up on herself...... In the end, this heroic and stunning beauty tortured herself into this drunkard with a high fever and cold, weak and haggard.

Li Mujiang closed her eyes tiredly again, trembling and raising her hand to cover her face, she found that her cheeks were slightly sunken, and she muttered to herself:

"It's about to die, heh, Li Mujiang, you should sleep in the coffin at the moment......"

It was a long time before she opened her eyes, and through her fingers, she saw the sky, and she saw that the rain had stopped, and although the sun had not yet appeared, the clouds had begun to disperse, and it seemed that it would soon be clear.

Looking at the windless and rainless sky like this, Li Mujiang temporarily forgot the lingering boredom and pain in his heart.

Li Mujiang's thoughts also began to gradually turn, and suddenly she was stunned for a moment, always feeling as if something was wrong, but she couldn't remember anything for a while, she shook her head and said to herself:

"Anyway, let's go out for a walk first."

"Smack!" The sound sounded, and the wine jar was smashed by Li Mujiang, she took a deep breath, looked at the sky again, and then strode out with unbearable strides......

took a hot shower at a nearby inn, changed into clean clothes, and walked downstairs, Li Mujiang felt a little lighter. Before he had time to think about what he should do, he saw the shopkeeper with a family and was about to go out. Most of the pedestrians Li Mujiang saw today rushed in the same direction, as if there was some big gathering, looking at the posture of the shopkeeper's family, I was afraid that they were also going to participate in this rally, so Li Mujiang asked:

"Where are you going?"

"Girl, we're going to Hibiscus Garden. Drive! ”

The shopkeeper's family left in a carriage, Li Mujiang heard the words "Furong Garden", felt very familiar, and thought about it for a long time, only then did he remember the incident that he had just broken the temple - that night Jiang Xiaoshu invited himself to go to the Furong Garden to enjoy the lotus on the twenty-fourth day of June.

Li Mujiang asked the diner at the next table what time it was in June today, and the diner looked at Li Mujiang for a long time like an idiot, as if he didn't believe that there were such confused people in this world, so he said that today was the June 24th Lotus Festival.

Li Mujiang secretly said in his heart:

"I have nowhere else to go, and it would be better to see the scenery, if I meet him...... So what? I don't care ......."

Thinking about this, she began to feel uncontrollable again. So she got up and left, identified the direction, and walked in the southeast direction.
