Chapter 18 Huguo Temple
Mu Yun practiced hard for a few days, felt that he had made a slight improvement, and wanted to show Konoha a look, it was best to let her praise herself.
For this reason, he specially picked the moment to come to the martial arts arena, he observed for a few days, and knew that Konoha would come to the martial arts arena every day to practice marksmanship. It was deliberately chosen at this time.
Konoha was really there, just put the gun back on the shelf, and when he saw him coming, he looked very happy: "You came at the right time, I have something to do today, and the military affairs that need to be dealt with are on my case, and I marked the two more important things, and I will check them carefully when I come back, and you can just look at the rest." ”
Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, a little lost: "The county lord has something to do today?" ”
Konoha had been thinking about how to coax the angry Yao Lin, and replied to him casually: "Yes, there is a troublesome matter to deal with." ”
Obviously, Konoha didn't have time to watch Mu Yun practice his gun, Mu Yun was a little annoyed, but he was happy because Konoha was relieved to let him handle military affairs.
Konoha didn't care about the complicated emotions in Mu Yun's heart, so he went to lead the thousands of miles of smoke and clouds, flew on the horse, and quickly whipped into Shengjing City.
As soon as Chen Shi arrived, Konoha had already quietly slipped into Yao Lin's boudoir.
Yao Lin was still asleep, and the maid who was waiting for her was also napping in the warm pavilion outside the room.
Konoha had the intention of teasing, and took out a peacock tail feather from the celadon ice pattern bottle on the table, and gently brushed the feather on Yao Lin's face.
Yao Lin felt itchy, sneezed, woke up sleepy-eyed, found a person standing by the bed, thought it was a maid, turned around and buried herself in the soft quilt of gold brocade, and muttered: "Don't bother me, I have to sleep for a while."
"You're going to sleep, I'm leaving."
Yao Lin heard that it was Konoha's voice, and immediately came to her senses, turned over and hugged Konoha's waist: "Sister Aye? Why did you come to me? ”
Konoha couldn't see Yao Lin's expression, but he could hear Yao Lin's aggrieved tone, and patiently coaxed her: "I've been too busy these two days, didn't I come to you whenever I was free." ”
patted Yao Lin through the quilt again: "Okay, okay, get up, I'll be yours all day today." You can go anywhere. ”
"Really? I want to learn to ride a horse. ”
"This won't work." Konoha simply refused, and explained to her before Yao Lin spoke: "If you don't fall a few times, you can't learn to ride a horse, and it's not spring yet, and the land is still frozen, so it's easy to fall and get hurt." I'll teach you when the spring flowers bloom. You don't have any other places you want to go? ”
Yao Lin immediately accepted this explanation, she thought for a moment: "Then let's go to Huguo Temple to see the plum blossoms, and after we finish, we will go to Tianxiang Pavilion, and you invite me to dinner." ”
"Well, it's a good plan, so let's get up and make up."
Yao Lin called the personal maid, and remembered something when she was dressing up: "Let's go to the East Palace first and call the prince's brother as well." ”
Konoha knew her girl's thoughts, and simply agreed neatly.
When putting on makeup, Yao Lin saw Konoha sitting in a daze from the bronze mirror: "Sister Aye, I asked someone to put on your makeup too, so that you don't get bored waiting." ”
As soon as Konoha wanted to open his mouth to refuse, he saw the corners of Yao Lin's mouth dropped, and the words changed again: "Be happy with yourself, you have the final say today." ”
Yao Lin cheered, dragged Konoha to the dresser, and laid out all his various rouge incense powder and lipstick.
Konoha let Yao Lin dress himself up, and when Yao Lin was satisfied, Konoha didn't dare to see what he had become in the bronze mirror, and only said: "I came in secretly over the wall, and I didn't let your father know, you will come out after you say a word to your father, and I will wait for you outside." ”
Konoha didn't wait long, Yao Lin happily ran out of Yao's mansion, and a few small guys pulled the carriage out of the back, and Konoha caught Yao Lin who rushed over: "Do you want to take the car, or let me take you on a horse?" ”
"Of course you choose." Yao Lin didn't think about it, and turned to the little guys and said, "You go back, I don't need you." ”
Konoha ignored the shouts of everyone in Yao Mansion, pulled Yao Lin onto the horse, and with a slight effort of his legs, he rushed out with a thousand miles of smoke clouds.
Leaving the street where Yao's Mansion was located, Konoha told the Qianli Smoke Cloud Cover to slow down and walk slowly.
"This horse is so beautiful," Yao Lin touched the horse's mane, "the body is as black as satin, but the horse's hooves are snow-white, as if they came from stepping on snow." ”
"Treading snow? It's a good name, I think it's too long, but that's a nice one. ”
The two chatted all the way, and soon came to the East Palace.
Konoha can enter the East Palace at any time without notice.
Yao Lin greeted Mu Beimo happily when she saw her: "Brother Prince!" ”
Mu Beimo looked at her with a smile: "Lin'er is here again?" ”
Yao Lin excitedly pushed Mu Ye in front of Mu Beimo: "Look at you, how beautiful Sister Ah Ye looks after putting on makeup." ”
Konoha didn't expect her to say this, a little embarrassed.
fell into Mu Beimo's eyes, and it became a rare shyness of Konoha.
Mu Beimo felt that what Yao Lin said was good, and the wooden leaves after applying makeup were simply amazingly beautiful.
Konoha has an extremely white complexion, and after dyeing rouge, it has a peach-like pink color, and with that hint of shyness, it looks even more beautiful.
"Ah Ye should thank Lin'er well." Mu Beimo praised the two of them in one sentence, and didn't let people see the tea, "You two are here, are you here to ask me out?" ”
Yao Lin nodded hurriedly: "Brother Prince, you can accompany us to Huguo Temple to play today." ”
Mu Beimo asked the head of the East Palace to go down to prepare the horse, and teased the two: "Are you here to call me this person, or are you here to call my money bag?" ”
"I'm looking for your money, as for Lin'er, I don't know." Although Mu Ye was answering Mu Beimo, the person who could see it was Yao Lin.
Yao Lin even had red ears, and she didn't look at the two people who bullied her, and ran out by herself.
In less than a moment, it was already ready, Mu Ye Yao Lin rode a horse, Mu Beimo rode a horse by himself, didn't call too many people to follow, and only picked six wolf guards to accompany him.
Huguo Temple is halfway up Izumo Mountain outside Shengjing City, as soon as she leaves the city gate, Konoha tells the horse to let go and run, Yao Lin is not afraid, she knows that Konoha will not let her have an accident.
Soon arrived at the Huguo Temple, although the good men and women did not say that there were crowds, they were also in an endless stream.
This is the national temple of Xiling, the incense is vigorous, and there are often royal relatives and dignitaries in the temple.
The little monk saw three people on the mountain road, he only knew Mu Beimo and Yao Lin, although he didn't know who Mu Ye was, but he also guessed the identity of the extraordinary, and ran to the temple to tell the abbot.
When the three of them dismounted, the abbot had already led people to wait at the gate of the temple.
"Distinguished guests come from afar, and the temple is full of brilliance."
Yao Lin and Mu Beimo often come to the temple and respect the presiding abbot. Mu Beimo and the abbot were polite.
"Who is this nobleman?" The abbot asked Mu Beimo Dao.
"In Shimokonoha." Konoha didn't wait for Mu Beimo to speak, and said to the abbot himself.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the County Lord." The abbot bowed to Konoha.
"Master, what's wrong with me?" Konoha asked, "Why is the master frowning at me?" ”
The abbot was secretly surprised in his heart, his face only changed slightly, and then immediately returned to normal. Such a subtle expression was actually noticed by Konoha.
The abbot bowed slightly: "If Your Highness doesn't mind, can you go to the old man's meditation room and sit down?" ”
What he said was unexpected, and Mu Beimo and Yao Lin also changed their complexions.
Konoha turned around and smiled appeasefully: "Then Brother Wang and Lin'er go first, I'll come to you later." Then he nodded to the abbot: "Master, please."
Konoha followed the abbot into the backyard and came to a small Buddha hall. After Konoha sat down, the abbot handed her a piece of paper and a pen: "Can you ask Your Highness to write down the eight characters of your birthday?" ”
Konoha was puzzled, but he still wrote the eight characters and handed them back to the abbot.
The abbot took it over and carefully deduced it, and Konoha waited for nothing to happen, looking up at this hall of worship.
There is a statue of Nanhai Guanyin in the hall, and the Bodhisattva's face is obviously a compassionate smile, but in Konoha's view, it is a mean ridicule.
The abbot noticed Konoha's expression and asked out loud, "Your Highness doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas?" ”
"I believe in gods and Buddhas," Konoha replied, "I just don't believe they will bless the world." ”
As soon as these words came out, Konoha felt that it was inappropriate, and apologized slightly: "Konoha is disrespectful, don't care about it, master." ”
The abbot did not feel offended, and clasped his palms together: "Thousands of people suffer in a thousand ways, and the sufferings are all different, and the bodhisattva has no choice. With His Royal Highness's experience, it is natural to have such thoughts. ”
Konoha had no intention of fighting with the abbot again: "Did the master call me here just to ask for my eight characters?" ”
The abbot looked down again at the rice paper with Konoha eight characters written on it, and asked Konoha to stretch out his hand to see her palmistry. After reading it, he pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "The old man must not reveal the secret of heaven, but there is a sentence for His Highness." ”
Konoha said politely: "If the master has something to say, just say it." ”
"If you are strong, you will be humiliated, and if you are too strong, you will be easy to break." The abbot whispered, "As long as Your Highness remembers these eight words, you can keep Your Highness safe for life." ”
"Thank you for the master's teachings, Konoha is grateful." After Konoha finished speaking, he got up to leave.
When he went out, Konoha stopped and turned his head to look at the abbot: "It's just that all swords can't escape the fate of being cut off, and I have always known that I am not afraid of this fate." ”
The abbot watched Konoha departing and whispered a Buddha name.
Konoha quickly left this conversation behind, but Mu Beimo and Yao Lin were curious, especially Yao Lin, who kept asking.
Konoha was annoyed: "He asked for my eight characters and looked at my palmistry." To say that my destiny was predestined when I was born, it is hidden in my palm prints. ”
When Mu Beimo heard him say this, he was also interested: "And then? ”
Konoha smiled brightly: "Then I told him that since this is the case, no matter how bumpy and tortuous my life is, it is in my own hands after all." ”
Mu Beimo was stunned because of her words, but Yao Lin hurriedly spat a few mouthfuls on the ground: "Bah, Sister Ah Ye is too unparticular about speaking, no matter what ups and downs, it must be a lifetime of smooth sailing." ”
Mu Ye hugged Yao Lin and pinched her face: "Lin'er is right, then I will borrow Lin'er's auspicious words." ”
If you make such a fuss, the matter will be over. After appreciating the plum blossoms, Yao Lin only shouted that she was hungry, and the three of them returned to the city and went to Tianxiang Pavilion.
Yao Lin was reluctant to go to the quiet single room on the fifth floor, not to say that it was interesting to say that it was lively and lively below.
So the three of them found a table near the window, and served a table with good wine and food. Six wolf guards also opened a single table next to them.
Yao Lin ate happily, and pulled Konoha to tell her about the things in the barracks.
Konoha was good at drinking, ordered a few jars, poured himself a drink, and at the same time picked up irrelevant but really interesting things in the army to tell Yao Lin.
Konoha spoke so funny that even Mu Beimo couldn't help but listen carefully.
Konoha took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and raised his eyes to take a casual look on the street, but suddenly stopped.
Yao Lin urged her: "Sister Aye, you continue." ”
Konoha immediately got up and stood by the window, biting a fast horse on the street.
Mu Beimo followed her gaze, but only saw the dust raised by the horse's hooves.
"What do you see?" Mu Beimo asked.
Konoha's voice tightened: "That man has a letter in his arms, and the envelope is glued with feathers, and there is a gold plaque with vermilion lacquer hanging around his waist. ”
Mu Beimo understood, but Yao Lin was still ignorant.
Konoha explained again: "That person is here to deliver military information, and only urgent military information at the border can use gold plates." ”
