At night, Li Zhen sat at the table and read, practicing martial arts was only one part of his studies, and reading was another.

Master taught him to read since he was a child, and he entered the state school three years ago, and he was even more busy with his studies, especially when he took leave to go to Yumen a few days ago, which delayed a lot of studies, and he had to make up for it.

Participating in the Wuju Township Examination is only the end of the martial arts, and there are still two months before he can finish all his studies.

At this time, he heard a noise in the window, so he got up and pushed the window open, and saw the eldest sister standing outside the window, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Li Quan pointed outward, "Sisi is looking for you outside, I probably want to say goodbye to you!"

Li Zhen knew that Sisi still wanted to go to Chang'an in the afternoon, and he had no choice, this was her father's decision, he had signed a contract with the Suo family, and he had also received an advance payment of sixty yuan, Li Zhen could only hope that Sisi would leave peacefully and come back safely.

"Oh!" Li Zhen agreed, put down the book and walked outside the courtyard gate.

"Ah Zhen!" Li Quan stopped him again.

"Sister, is there anything else?"

"Just say goodbye, don't be sluggish, you still have to study!"

"I know!" Li Zhen felt that Sister's expression and demeanor tonight seemed a little weird, and she didn't know what was wrong.

In the alley, Sisi lowered her head and paced back and forth uneasily, she was both excited and very sad in her heart, excited that she could finally go to Chang'an, this was her wish since she was a child, but thinking of breaking up with Brother San Lang, she had an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

At this time, the courtyard gate not far away opened, Li Zhen walked out, and Sisi hurriedly greeted him, "Brother San Lang, I"

Her eyes were red, tears almost rolled out, and Li Zhen smiled: "I know, you are going to Chang'an, this is actually a good thing! Your wish since childhood has finally come true." ”

"But I won't see you again. Sisi's voice was already choked.

"Don't talk stupidly, aren't you coming back? Besides, I'm going to participate in the martial arts next year, maybe we can meet in Chang'an." ”

"You're going to Luoyang, not Chang'an. ”

"Don't you have to go through Chang'an to go to Luoyang!"

Li Zhen tried his best to comfort her, not wanting to watch her tears roll down, "I can go to Chang'an to see you first, and then go to Luoyang, isn't it very smooth?"

Sisi finally couldn't help crying, and threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly, "I know you're comforting me, and you'll forget me!"

"How could I forget you? Da Zhuang will also remind me, hey, my sister is in Chang'an, don't forget, stinky boy, don't you say?"

Sisi heard her say funny, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, Li Zhen wiped the tears on her face for her, and said with a smile: "It's been like this since I was a child, crying and laughing, obedient, go back and sleep well, and go to Chang'an happily tomorrow." ”

Sisi looked at him stupidly, she suddenly hugged Li Zhen's neck, kissed him heavily on the lips, turned around and ran away crying.

Li Zhen froze like a stone, and this kiss made his heart become sad.

Standing for a moment, Li Zhen sighed lowly, turned around and walked towards the gate of his house, but unexpectedly saw his eldest sister standing next to the gate of the courtyard, and he was startled.

"Sister!" he whispered, "what are you hiding here?"

"No, I'm wondering if it will rain tomorrow?" Li Quan raised his head and looked around.

He knew that the eldest sister must have seen the scene just now, his face was hot, a little annoyed, and he lowered his head and walked into the courtyard quickly.

Li Quan looked at his back and couldn't help but smile, "Stinky boy!"

Li Zhen walked back to his room quickly, he only felt upset, he didn't know what he was bothered about, an inexplicable feeling made him feel at peace in his heart, this was the first time he had this feeling when he was so old.

Li Zhen sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the window in a daze.

"If you don't want her to go, I'll go and propose to Uncle Kang tomorrow!" At some point, Li Quan appeared at his door and looked at him with a smile.

Li Zhen didn't speak, he was silent, Li Quan looked at him for a long time, and then said: "In that case, what are you worried about? ”

Li Zhen sighed, "I'm just annoyed, I don't know why, I've been in a panic for the past two days." ”

Li Quan walked in slowly, sat opposite his younger brother, and said softly: "Sister knows what you are upset about, because Sisi went to Chang'an and fulfilled her wish since childhood, and you also want to go out in your heart, I know from your trip to Yumen this time, your inner desire for the outside is driven by Sisi's departure, so you are upset." ”

Li Zhen looked at his sister blankly, he didn't expect his sister to be so understanding, usually so fierce, but at this time she was so gentle, his nose was sour, and he shouted in a low voice: "Sister!"

Li Quan stroked his brother's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Do you know why my sister decided not to make wine again? Because you are going to Luoyang next year to participate in the martial arts, I also plan to let your brother-in-law go to Luoyang to participate in the imperial examination at the same time, so that our family will go, and we will simply live in Luoyang for two years. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, "And Auntie, is she willing to leave?"

"I will persuade her, if she really refuses to go, then I can't help it, of course, the premise is that your brother-in-law passes, if he doesn't fight, he and I have to come back, as for you, my sister hopes that you will soar in the sky like an eagle, don't learn from those children of the family, and become worms when you leave your hometown. ”

"Sister, I remember!"

Li Quan got up and said with a smile: "Go to bed early! Send Sisi away tomorrow morning, you still have to go to Dayun Temple to see Master, you haven't gone to see him since you came back!"

"I know, I'm going to go tomorrow. ”

Li Quan walked to the door and remembered something again, "By the way, tomorrow you go to Dayun Temple, and by the way, you will go to Mogao Grottoes to find Auntie and bring her medicine, she left in a hurry today and forgot about it." ”

"Auntie went to Mogao Grottoes to worship the Buddha?"

"They women will have activities, we went to Mogao Grottoes together today, and I don't know when I will come back, don't talk about this, you go to sleep!"

Li Quan closed the door and left, Li Zhen lay on the couch, looking at the roof with his hands on his pillow, thinking about today's life, his sister didn't know his grandfather's secret, which made him a little regretful, but what my sister said just now was very right.

He was stirred up by Sisi's desire to go out, he has been in this era for 16 years, how can he be trapped in the small city of Dunhuang for the rest of his life, he should go to a broader world to break through

Early the next morning, Li Zhen and Uncle Kang's family went outside the city to bid farewell to Sisi, and in the tears of their reluctant and family members, they waved goodbye and watched several carriages gradually disappear at the end of the field.

It wasn't until Sisi was far away that Jiuzhi hurried over, he had overslept after thinking all night last night.

"Your kid is only here now, Sisi is already gone!" Li Zhen said angrily.

Jiu Zhi's face was full of disappointment, and he lowered his head and said, "Sisi didn't see me to see her, she must be very sad!"

Li Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Okay, don't look at the pot while eating in the bowl, I'm going to Dayun Temple to see Master today, will you go?"

Jiu Zhi's face flushed, he knew what Li Zhen meant, he had stayed with Cui'er in the past two days, and he was almost about to swear an alliance, he scratched his head, "Okay! Yesterday my father asked me to see the master, just when you are going, go together!"

Jiu Zhi got Li Zhen's white horse, and he just wanted to take this opportunity to try the horse, and the two did not return to Dunhuang City, but ran directly in the direction of Dayun Temple

Dayun Temple is located on the bank of the Ganquan River about 50 miles southeast of Dunhuang City, close to the famous Mogao Grottoes.

The predecessor of Dayun Temple is called Maitreya Temple, four years ago, Emperor Zetian ascended the throne not long after, he ordered the construction of Dayun Temple all over the country, Dunhuang Dayun Temple was expanded on the basis of Maitreya Temple.

Although the Dayun Temple is the shortest among the dozens of temples in Dunhuang, the scale is the largest, covering an area of more than 200 acres, more than 600 monks in the temple, and there are more than 100 craftsmen with high craftsmanship living in the temple.

Li Zhen and Jiuzhi rode all the way, ate dry food on the way, drank sweet spring water, and walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at Dayun Temple.

The two laughed and walked into the temple, they were very familiar with the monks of the temple, no one stopped them, all the way to the backyard monk's meditation room.

"Master, here we are!"

Li Zhen and Jiuzhi bowed respectfully in front of a meditation room, when a soft voice came from the meditation room, "Come in!"

The interior of the meditation room is extremely clean and simplely furnished, with only a thin reed mat on the floor, an old willow box against the wall, and a wooden fish, and nothing else.

On the table sat cross-legged an old monk, with a white beard, tall and burly, with a straight waist, and it could be seen that he was very imposing when he was young.

At this time, he was old and had seen through the hot and cold world, and the old monk's face was full of vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were as clear as water, he was Li Zhen's master, Master Wangchen.

Master Forgotten Dust is an extremely mysterious person, and no one knows his origin except for Master Lingyin, the presiding officer of the Great Cloud Temple.

Li Zhen still remembers what Master Lingyin said to him five years ago, his master once had a magnificent past, which made Li Zhen even more curious, who is his master?

"Li Zhen, Jiuzhi meet the master!"

The two knelt down and saluted Master Wangchen respectfully, although Wuchen and Li Zhen had a master-apprentice relationship, Master Wangchen never allowed him to call himself master.

As for Jiuzhi and the others, because they were Li Zhen's partners, Master Wangchen also taught them to read and practice martial arts, and they were accepted as registered disciples.

Master Wangchen attaches great importance to Li Zhen, a closed disciple, with outstanding talent and integrity, and is the most satisfactory of all the disciples he has taught, the only deficiency is that he will occasionally show a ruthless side.

Master Forget Dust also likes wine history, this wine history has been very interesting since childhood, although he likes to be lazy, and loves to play a little clever, take advantage of small advantages, etc., but he is pure-hearted, affectionate and righteous, although Forget Dust did not accept him as an apprentice, but in fact has regarded him as an apprentice.

In addition to Li Zhen and Jiuzhi, Kang Dazhuang and Xiao Xi also followed Master Forget Chen to practice martial arts, and like Jiuzhi, they can also be regarded as the master's registered disciples.

"Why didn't Da Zhuang come?" Master Forgotten Dust asked lightly.

"Back to the master, today Da Zhuang's sister went to Chang'an, his mother is very sad, Da Zhuang wants to comfort his mother, so he can't come for the time being, please forgive me!"

Master Wuchen smiled gently: "Ah Xi also happened to be called by his father to help in the Mogao Grottoes, so I will talk to the two of you." ”

"I wish to listen to the teachings of the master!"

Master Wuchen smiled and waved his hand, "I won't have classes today, just a few casual words with you, Ah Zhen, do you remember when I came to Dunhuang?"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "The master seems to have come to Dunhuang in the early spring of the first year of the arch, I remember that day we used the budding willow branches to weave hats, and the master asked us to cherish the new sprouts." ”

"Yes! In the first year of the vertical arch, it was still the Tang Dynasty Li family's rivers and mountains, connecting Baiyue in the south and three rivers in the north, but today's domain, whose world is it?"

Tips: The new domain name "biquge.info" has been launched by Biquge, and the original domain name is about to be discontinued. Please tell each other, thank you!
