Chapter 98: To Moon Mountain
When the sky was slightly bright, Xiyan walked up to Shen Yanshu's side and gently patted her shoulder.
Shen Yanshu lay on Yan Qinghan's bedside and looked at Xiyan a little sleepily.
"Miss, it's already dawn, if you're too tired, do you want to postpone the trip?" Xiyan asked, after all, Yan Qinghan grabbed Shen Yanshu's hand and refused to let go, and Shen Yanshu spent the night with him by the bedside.
Shen Yanshu shook his dizzy head slightly, saw Yan Qinghan who was still asleep, and then slowly pulled his hand out.
Finally relieved, Shen Yanshu got up and whispered to Xi Yan: "No need to delay, let's set off today, anyway, if you have to walk for so long, you can rest in the carriage." ”
Mo Bai was just about to speak, but Shen Yanshu continued: "You are looking at Yan Qinghan here, he woke up and asked, and said that we went to the temple and will come back before tomorrow night." ”
Mo Bai knew that his master was drunk and had troubled Shen Yanshu a lot, so he could only nod.
Shen Yanshu was just about to leave, turned around and said to Mo Bai: "Next time you dare to let him drink, don't come to me, you can solve it yourself." ”
Her voice was not high, but it was cold, and Mo Bai suddenly felt that Shen Yanshu had a sense of déjà vu on the upper body of the prince, and couldn't help but tremble, and her jaw lowered.
Shen Yanshu went back to bathe and change clothes, and after breakfast, he set off with Xiao Nansheng, Xiao Jingsheng and Shen Yan'an to worship Moon Mountain.
Shen Yan'an is an active person, and he was originally afraid that his sister would be bored, so he rode in the carriage with her, but when he saw Shen Yanshu's sleepy face after getting into the car, he fell asleep against the window wall of the car not long after, so Shen Yan'an got out of the carriage and rode with Xiao Nansheng.
Xiao Jingsheng said: "How did Yan Shu remember to go to Baiyue Mountain? ”
Shen Yan'an said: "My sister said that the Anqing Temple there is good, so I want to go and see it, but I haven't heard of the difference between this Anqing Temple." ”
Xiao Jingsheng said: "There are two abbots in this Anqing Temple, I heard that the practice is good, so I live in seclusion in Baiyue Mountain, and some people are often rescued by the monks in the temple when they encounter danger in the mountain, but they generally do not let people enter the mountain, after all, it is too dangerous." ”
"Could it be that there are tigers or bears blind in the mountains?" Shen Yan'an suddenly came to his senses.
Xiao Nansheng rode a horse and glanced back at Shen Yan'an, and said: "Don't think about going into the mountains to play, there are not only tigers and bears blind, but also all kinds of colorful poisonous snakes, if you are bitten, I am afraid that your life will be lost!"
Colorful ...... Viper?
Shen Yan'an's goosebumps trembled, and when he thought of something like a snake, he couldn't help but feel disgusted, so forget it!
Xiyan was still thinking about what Xiao Nansheng said to them yesterday, Que Wu was in Jiangnan, if only he could contact him and become the help of Miss.
"What is Miss Xiyan thinking?" Xiao Nansheng stepped forward and asked.
Xi * Ma was walking in front, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Xiao Nansheng had already ridden forward with her.
She shook her head and said, "Didn't think about anything. ”
Xiao Jingsheng didn't have much contact with Xiyan, but looking at Xiyan didn't look like an ordinary maid, and Shen Yanshu never felt like other ladies did about maids, only in front of outsiders.
He asked curiously: "Miss Xiyan doesn't look like a girl born in slavery, her martial arts are not bad, and her conversation is good, why did she become a maid?"
Xiyan knew that someone would ask this, so he said: "The original family was indeed quite wealthy, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, so I could only make a living from it. ”
Xiao Nansheng said: "Fortunately, you met someone like your cousin. ”
Xiyan sighed: "Yes, I'm so lucky to meet her." ”
Xiao Nansheng looked at Xi Yan's side face, and his heart moved slightly.
It wasn't until the sun was exposed to three poles that Yan Qinghan, who was in the Xiao family, finally woke up.
He shook his dizzy head and shouted in his hoarse throat: "Mo Bai." ”
Mo Bai fell directly from the horizontal wood in the room to Yan Qinghan's bed: "What does the prince command?"
"What time is it?"
"Noon. ”
Yan Qinghan didn't expect that he had slept for so long, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the table and sat down, and then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.
The throat finally soothed a little.
Mo Bai stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, Miss Shen went to Baiyue Mountain early this morning, went to the temple to pray for blessings and incense, and she won't be able to come back until tomorrow." ”
Yan Qinghan turned his head to look at Mo Bai, and then said, "In the future, she doesn't have to report to me anymore." ”
Mo Bai was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to say something, Yan Qinghan had already gotten up, asked the little guy to prepare hot water, and lay down for a night, feeling extremely tired.
This is the first time Yan Qinghan has been drunk, he was cautious before, he never let himself get drunk, and he would not let others have a chance to catch him, but this time he finally indulged once, but he couldn't remember anything when he woke up.
As soon as he took a bath and changed his clothes, the little guy outside the door came in and said, "Master Han, Qiu Mansion handed over a post, saying that he wanted to invite Master Han to come over tomorrow." ”
Mo Bai took the post in the little girl's hand and handed it to Yan Qinghan.
opened it and found that it was Pei Yao, the son of King Jing.
"Good. Yan Qinghan said, "Tomorrow will pass." ”
After getting Yan Qinghan's words, the little guy retreated.
Why is Pei Yao also in Jiangzhou?
Since it is in Qiu Mansion, then the marriage between Qiu Li and the county lord of Yining should also be in the planning, and I have to say that Pei Yao's approach is indeed correct.
Otherwise, with the temperament of King Ning and King Yu, how could they turn a blind eye to the fat of King Jing's Mansion?
It's just that how did Pei Yao know that he was in the Xiao family and handed over the post?
He is not familiar with Pei Yao, he was raised in the palace until he was sixteen years old, and he didn't start to come out of Limen Mansion until he was sixteen years old, but this time he was sent to the border to practice.
And Pei Yao, as the son of King Jing's Mansion, also grew up in Chang'an, and later worshipped Qi Yi as a teacher, often in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and had a deep relationship with the Qi family.
Yan Qinghan still remembered that Qi Yunjing had talked about Pei Yao, saying that this Pei Yao was also an upright person, and he would definitely be able to support King Jing's Mansion in the future, but he was unwilling to hand over his sister to such a person who was burdened with too many responsibilities.
Facts have proved that in order to protect King Jing's Mansion, Pei Yao did not help when the General's Mansion in Zhenbei was overturned, and such a person does not know whether to say that he is rational or cold-blooded.
Shen Yanshu and his party finally arrived at Baiyue Mountain in the afternoon, this mountain road is difficult to walk, even the special carriage of the Xiao family seems to be a little bumpy, Shen Yanshu has already woken up, and his hands and feet are a little sore after waking up from the carriage.
She lifted the curtain of the car window and looked at the lush woods outside, Shen Yanshu evoked memories of her childhood.
Her father had taken her along the road, but at that time they were riding horses and her father was telling stories.
"How long will it take to get to Anqing Temple?" asked Shen Yanshu.
Xiyan turned around and replied, "It's almost there, there's still a quarter of an hour at most." ”
After turning a corner, Shen Yanshu looked into the distance, and finally saw a temple in the distance, standing in the middle of this barren mountain range.
The carriage continued to move forward, and when it reached the gate of the temple, Xiyan and his party got off the horse, and Shen Yanshu also got off the carriage with the support of the green kite.
Looking up, there is a stone plaque of "Anqing Temple" hanging on these two pillars, which echoes the tall trees around it, but it does not look abrupt.
The gate of the temple was open, and a little monk who was only about ten years old walked out, and when he saw someone, Shi Ran stepped forward and said, "Amitabha, are the benefactors going to the mountain or to the temple to offer incense." ”
Xiao Nansheng said: "We are here to pray for blessings. ”
"Donor, please come with me. ”
A few people followed the little monk into the temple, the whole Anqing Temple is very small, there are only two courtyards, about the reason that few people come on weekdays, there are only seven or eight guest rooms, all of which are provided to farmers who go to the mountains to collect medicine on weekdays, but it is enough for Shen Yanshu and his party to stay.
From the mouth of the little monk, I learned that there are a total of six monks in this Anqing Temple, two of whom are presiding.
After they were all settled, the little monk took them to the Buddha hall.
"Presiding, the donors of the Xiao family in Jiangzhou City came to visit and offer incense to pray for blessings. ”
There was only one monk in the Buddhist hall who was slowly knocking on the wooden fish, and when he heard the words of the little monk, he got up and turned around, looked at Shen Yanshu and his party, and then folded his hands and bowed to them.
Seeing this monk, Shen Yanshu's eyes widened, a little incredible, although there had been speculations before, but when he really saw Nie Liang who had become a monk, Shen Yanshu couldn't help but be surprised.
"Why did a few donors, who are people from Jiangzhou City, come so far to pray here?" Nie Liang said.
Xiao Nansheng also said bluntly: "My cousin heard that this Anqing Temple is located between the mountains and forests, and he was a little curious, so he wanted to come and have a look." ”
Nie Liang's gaze looked at Shen Yanshu and said, "I see." ”
A few people listened to the monks chanting and praying in the temple, and bowed to each other, and when they were done, it was already dusk.
It was almost dusk, and the gate of the temple had been closed, and the little monk told them that there were fierce beasts in this mountain, so they had to close the door before it was dark on weekdays, otherwise there would be wild wolves or big bears.
Shen Yan'an, who was still a little exploratory, could only obediently stay in the temple and talk to other little monks about interesting things in the mountains.
Shen Yanshu walked into a meditation room with Xiyan and saw Nie Liang meditating.
"Donor, what's the matter?"
"A month ago, I said I would come and pick up the mountain myself. Shen Yanshu said.
Nie Liang said: "There are many dangers in the mountains, what treasures can make the donor take such an adventure?"
"It's very important. Shen Yanshu said, "I'm sure you'll help me too, aren't you?" Uncle Nie Liang." ”
Nie Liang opened his eyes and was silent for a while before asking, "Who are you?"
"When I was eight years old, I went to Baiyue Mountain with my father and Uncle Nie Liang and Nie Dong, and you said that you would always guard the Qilin Talisman until I came over again to retrieve it. And now, here I am. ”
