Chapter 18: Confusion of Thoughts

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that at this moment, Miss Tang's mind would be filled with these messy thoughts.

However, these strange thoughts did not last long. Her nose was sore, and tears welled up instantly. Because, in front of her eyes, her mother taught her to play the piano by hand, and her father taught her to ride a horse.

According to her mother, she was weak when she was young, and when she was three years old, she contracted a strange disease, and even the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless. The father has been on an expedition and has not returned, looking at the dying little daughter, the almost desperate mother, following the advice of a traveling Taoist priest, holding the hope of what happens, he asked the abbot master of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and asked her to be stored in the temple for a year, which picked up her little life.

The Taoist priest said that in her life, she should have been an iron-blooded man, but she mistakenly became a daughter. Everything is a mistake, so she is destined to have ups and downs in her life, as well as extraordinary. Only by becoming attached to the Buddha can we avoid untimely death and live this life safely!

Looking at the little daughter who finally picked up a life, Mrs. Tang was even more convinced of the Taoist priest's words. No longer had any scruples, went directly to the palace to meet the queen, persuaded her to intercede with His Majesty the emperor, and asked for a special decree.

Since then, the pearl of General Tang Mingru Tang, the eldest lady of the Tang family, Tang Zixi, has become the only female disciple of Buddhism since the founding of the Great Qin, and the abbot master has given the Dharma name - Huixin.

After that serious illness, even when she returned home, she still liked to run to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Most of the time, she couldn't understand the babbling scriptures, but she still liked it.

I like the atmosphere there, and I prefer to sit in front of the huge Buddha statue, listening to the sound of bells and chanting in the curling green smoke.

At this time, she is exceptionally peaceful and quiet!

Therefore, whether it is the daily lecture in the temple or the triennial debate conference, as long as she is free, she will run to join in the fun. And they all sat directly next to the abbot master, and at first there were other monks who made a pair of gestures and even drove her away, but the abbot master was very tolerant, not only allowing her to sit beside her, but also sending a little novice to invite her to listen to a grand event such as a foreign monk's lecture.

Over time, she felt that she also had a hint of zen. I see life and death very openly, and I look very lightly at human feelings!

Just like she often helps people, not because she really feels that others are miserable, or needs her help to live, but simply because, at that moment, she wants to reach out, or rather, she is willing to reach out.

To a certain extent, she even felt that it was an honor and a blessing to have these things that needed her to reach out in this world.

Because, at this time, she feels very clearly the meaning of her existence: not to do nothing, let alone eat and wait for death, but to fill in the gaps, so that everything is more complete! If you can make every troubled face open a comfortable smile, you can make every anxious heart be peaceful and happy. Well, these will be her surprises!

She doesn't need the gratitude of others, and she doesn't want someone else's return. Because, in this process, the biggest gain is actually herself. What she felt was a kind of satisfaction that her heart was stuffed full, and what she felt was a kind of full tranquility! So, more often than not, she would have a kind of secret joy and secretly rejoice at the secret she had discovered!

But that serious illness hurt the root in the end, so Miss Tang's body has always been very weak. Therefore, Mrs. Tang is always very worried, not only often cooks herself, stews all kinds of precious supplements for her, she is extremely tolerant, but also gives the only ban in the whole house, strictly prohibiting anyone from stimulating the eldest lady!

Actually, what Miss Tang didn't know was that Mrs. Tang asked her to learn to play the piano and embroidery, and it was not really as she said, to be a good wife and mother in the future, just to let Tang Zixi stay by her side quietly. Seeing her doing well, Mrs. Tang's heart was very happy.

General Tang's idea is just the opposite, he wants her to strengthen her exercise and practice a good physique, so she is naturally not afraid of any illness. So she tried every means to mobilize her enthusiasm for martial arts, not only did she draw the pie of 'the future female general of Daqin' and 'defending the country', but she also did not hesitate to argue with his wife who had been in love for many years.

But one thing is the same, that is, the doting on Tang Zixi, one race is more powerful, as long as she doesn't set the house on order, no matter how much trouble she makes in the house, she will not be scolded for half a sentence.

For this, the third child of the Tang family, who was the same age as her, protested a lot.

That time, he followed the example of his sister and pulled a lotus flower to show off in the house. Not only was he scolded by his father for being a sissy, and he was stunned to punish him for running around the martial arts arena for ten laps, but he was also blamed by his mother, complaining that he didn't know the hard work of the gardener, and he was even more distressed about the flowers that had not yet fully opened. It can be said that the body and mind have been hit twice!

These are nothing, what really makes him angry is that the little sister who also pulled the lotus flower, not only did not receive a word of scolding, but was praised for the beautiful flowers she picked. Don't say anything about the hot soup, and let her ask the maid to pick any flowers next time, don't hurt her hands!

Tang Zixi couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. In fact, she also knows in her heart that the whole family is very tolerant of herself. Let's just say that this twin brother who keeps saying that he wants to draw a line with her, as long as she says a word, he always rushes to the front without the slightest hesitation. The degree of pampering her is not inferior to the second elder! Not to mention the eldest brother and second brother who are more than ten years older than her......

I still feel a little guilty when I think that I have caused so many troubles outside in his name. Originally, he planned to take a risk to go to Xiliang and find the "Ka Ye Heart Sutra" that he was thinking about and bring it back to compensate for it. Who knows, just arrived in Liangzhou City, I encountered this kind of thing.

Well, now, I haven't found the Heart Sutra, and I can't even see the last one. She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she couldn't bear to imagine their expressions when they learned the bad news!

The more Tang Zixi thought about it, the more his heart became blocked, and his throat tightened for a while, and finally he couldn't help it and whimpered.

"Ho-"

A familiar voice sounded, and then a huge pulling force came from the other arm, and the fluffy touch was a ghost slave without guessing. Tang Zixi, who was unprepared, screamed in pain.

Oh, my God!

Tang Zixi complained bitterly in his heart, this ghost slave is really kind to do bad things. Barely turning her head, she saw a glow of green light dangling by her side—it was the ghost slave who was pulling her arm and dragging her back.

The water monster that sensed the pulling force immediately took action, bit the big mouth of Tang Zixi's arm, and pulled it to the right again. One to the left, one to the right, suffering Tang Zixi, who was sandwiched in the middle, and pulling like this a few times, it is estimated that both arms are useless, she was busy and shouted loudly: "Let go!"

Because it was too painful, her voice unconsciously had a hint of sharpness, which made the ghost slave who was struggling to save her stunned, and as soon as her hand was released, she was pulled by the water monster that was desperately pulling, and she flew directly over the water, smashing on the other side of the water monster, making a huge sound.

The ghost slave's reaction was extremely fast, and almost instantly, he grabbed one of the water monster's legs, took a big step, dragged the water monster and Tang Zixi on its mouth, and walked towards the door.

Poor Miss Tang was smashed by this blow, drank several sips of water, choked her and coughed constantly, and she couldn't speak at all.

The water monster struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the clamp of the ghost slave, Tang Zixi, who was so painful that his nerves were a little numb, seemed to hear the 'gurgling' sound of his teeth biting into the bones, and he estimated in his heart that this arm was useless!

The ghost slave who rushed forward with his head buried in his head obviously realized something. Suddenly changed his strategy, grabbed the hand of the water monster, suddenly brought it to his chest, dragged the water monster in front of him, and with the faint light in his hand, he identified the position of the head of the water monster, shook his hand into a fist, and slammed it towards its head with a punch.

This punch is not comparable to Tang Zixi's punch, it smashed the water monster to the point that his eyes protruded, and he had been biting Tang Zixi's big mouth, and he also let go under this punch.

The ghost slave didn't stop, and still seriously, punch after punch, slammed into its head, until its brain burst and rotted into a pile of flesh. Only then did he pick it up, and Tang Zixi, who looked like a little chicken in his eyes, strode towards the door.

It didn't take a few steps before the ghost slave stopped.

The tall body slowly turned around, facing somewhere in the darkness, opening its big mouth with its fangs turned out, and yelling defiantly.

Tang Zixi, who was hanging softly in mid-air, heard the faint sound of water, rolled his eyes, and finally fainted!
