Chapter 282: Qinglian Nunnery Suddenly Rises
A month later, Chuzhou:
Bao Zheng finally looked forward to the emperor's decree, asking him to act as an agent for all affairs here before the new prefect arrived.
The herald was a eunuch surnamed Yang, who was extremely trusted by Concubine Liu, and he also brought a letter from Concubine Liu to LΓΌ Bu, which he put into LΓΌ Bu's hands at the most appropriate time.
Lu Bu opened the letter alone.
Concubine Liu's letter was written very simply, but it was full of lovesickness. The letter also mentioned one thing, that is, he had mentioned it in front of the emperor and crowned Lu Bu as the commander of the forbidden army, hoping that Lu Bu could return to Beijing as soon as possible to report on his work. At the end of the letter, Lu Bu was asked to visit Master Cihui often in Qinglian Nunnery instead of himself.
Lu Bu was worried that he would be seen by Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang, and after reading it, he destroyed it.
Hearing that Lu Bu was going to Qinglian Nunnery, Diao Chan was also very happy.
"The concubine and the benevolent master have not seen each other for a long time, can the general take the concubine with him? And Yu Niang's sister has always wanted to go to the Buddha to make incense, saying that she had made a wish when she was a child, and she just went to repay the wish. Diao Chan said.
Lu Bu thought for a moment.
"It's best for a lady to follow, but is it inconvenient for a jade girl to follow?"
Diao Chan smiled.
"Sister Yu Niang came with the concubine this time, and she has always been considerate and caring, and she has already regarded the general as a brother, how can it be inconvenient? If the general doesn't take her with him, I'm afraid she will suspect that my husband and wife have a gap with her, and they will be distracted in the future, which will not be beautiful. β33
"In that case, it's all up to the lady to decide." Lu Bu nodded.
When Bao Zheng heard that Lu Bu wanted to take Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang to Qinglian Nunnery, he immediately ordered people to prepare two carriages and asked Xue Meng to follow with a servant.
Since Xue Meng has already made a marriage contract with Tang Xing'er, he and Chen Yuniang and Diao Chan were often together when they were in the capital, and they can be regarded as good friends.
The crowd went on the road.
At this time, it is already close to autumn, and the weather is getting cooler.
When everyone came to the gate of Qinglian Nunnery, it was the best time of the day, and the air was filled with the smell of incense and candles unique to the temple, and the sun was clear and gentle.
A little nun guarding the door looked shy, nodding and smiling at the people who came to make incense.
Since the last time he saw off Concubine Liu, Lu Bu has not come.
Xue Meng hurried ahead of Lu Bu and walked up to the little nun.
"Dare to ask the little master, can Master Cihui be in the nunnery?"
The little nun looked up at Xue Meng, her face was slightly red, and she looked very moving.
"Master Cihui was invited to the city last night to do the Dharma, and he will return in three days.
Lu Bu, who was following behind Xue Meng, stepped forward and asked, "Since Master Cihui is not here, dare to ask, are the two little masters Miaoju and Miaoqing available?" β
Miao Ju is Ju'er, and Miao Qing is An Cold Cream.
The little nun was stunned, as if she was very unfamiliar with these two names.
"Master Cihui took four disciples with him before leaving, and they must have been taken by Master Cihui. Xiao Ni really didn't dare to assert this, and asked the donor to go to Master Cizhu to ask. β
Lu Bu and Xue Meng glanced at each other.
Although An Lengshuang's body recovered quickly, it was expected that it would not fully return to its original state in a month, not to mention that she had just been shaved, and Master Cihui took her to do the rituals?
Who is this Cizhu?
However, the two were quickly relieved.
When I came here before, I always only cared about doing things, ignoring other people, and I didn't know that there were other masters in this nunnery, which is also normal.
"In that case, I'll just have to make incense and leave." Lu Bu said.
Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang got out of the car respectively and followed the people into the nunnery.
Walking into the main hall, the incense is in full bloom here.
Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang knelt in front of a Buddha statue and whispered prayers for something devoutly.
Lu Bu and Xue Meng had nothing to do and stood aside to accompany each other.
"Brother Xue will wait here for the time being, and the younger brother will go to the backyard to have a look." Lu Bu couldn't bear the loneliness and said to Xue Meng.
Xue Meng knew that Lu Bu had lived here for a long time and was very familiar with this place, so he nodded and said, "Go back quickly, it's noisy here, and I'll go back after Mrs. Zun and Miss Yuniang enter the incense." β
Lu Bu promised to leave.
The backyard of Qinglian Nunnery is still very clean.
Lu Bu looked at these familiar houses, smiled, and thought about the things that he and Concubine Liu were in the house in, and he still felt a little emotional.
"This benefactor, this is a forbidden place in my nunnery, and you can't come here without permission."
Suddenly, a little nun who was short in stature and looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old ran over and stood in front of Lu Bu and said.
Lu Bu glanced at her.
"The villain and the benevolent master are old friends, and they used to come here often, so don't be surprised by the little master."
The little nun was a little surprised.
"You and Master Cihui are old friends, when you know that she is not in the nunnery today and went to the capital, why did you come here?"
Lu Bu was slightly surprised.
The little nun just now clearly said that Master Cihui took Ju'er, An Lengshuang and others to the city to do Dharma for others, why did this little master say that he went to the capital? Could it be that Master Cihui's whereabouts will also be kept secret from the disciples around him?
A trace of doubt floated into Lu Bu's heart.
"In that case, who is in charge of the affairs of the nunnery now?"
"Is it my master Cizhu?" The little nun replied, suddenly with a blank face, and said, "Seeing that you are vicious-looking, tall, and have tendons and flesh on your arms, I don't think you are a good person, so please leave the nunnery as soon as possible." β
Lu Bu suddenly became interested in this very young nun, and felt that her body had not yet shed some childishness, so he smiled and said, "Look at you are newly shaved, even if you don't recognize the villain, how can you arbitrarily judge the villain's behavior based on your appearance alone?" β
The little nun didn't listen to Lu Bu's words, and pulled the corner of Lu Bu's clothes hard, trying to pull him away.
Lu Bu just didn't move.
Seeing that Lu Bu couldn't be pulled, the little nun was a little anxious, and suddenly waved her hand at Lu Bu's chest.
Although the power is not large, the movement is extremely fast.
Lu Bu was caught off guard and was actually hit in the chest by her.
Lu Bu was shocked.
Such a sharp action is obviously pointed out by a high finger, could it be that this is a martial disciple accepted by Master Cihui after Cao Jiangxian?
"Why is the little master so rude?" Lu Bu deliberately amplified his voice and shouted.
The little nun did not speak, but threw her fist again.
This time, Lu Bu dodged and grabbed her sleeve at the right time.
The noise of the two alarmed the occupants of a meditation room, and the door was pushed open, and an old nun with a tall figure and a wrinkled face came out.
"Miaoling, don't be rude to the donor." The old nun said.
Lu Bu was even more surprised.
This little nun is actually called Miao Ling?
Miao Ling was killed to protect the treasures in the nunnery, and everyone in the entire nunnery knew about it, who would have thought that her law name had been occupied by others not long after she had just died? A hint of sourness came up in an instant.
The old nun in front of her also surprised Lu Bu a little, the monk's robe on her body was very ill-fitting, and there was even a small hole on the side, her face was ruddy, as if she had just drunk wine with someone, like this, she didn't look like a person who had been guarding the nunnery for a long time.
"Dare to ask Master, where is Master Cihui?" Lu Bu quickly thought for a moment and asked.
"Master Cihui was invited by the prefect early this morning to be a guest at the palace." The old nun replied.
Lu Bu's complexion changed abruptly.
Some people died, but not completely......
