Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 58: Lan Ruochun Begins to Be Beautiful (1)
There is a faint scent of sandalwood floating in the solemn and solemn Mahavira Hall. On the stone Buddhist platform, Guanyin is wearing a snow-white gauze, with a plump face and a dignified expression. At her feet are more than ten plates of melon and fruit snacks, and a rectangular gold-plated incense burner.
There were three burning incense sticks inside.
However, there was an object covered with black cloth placed at her feet. It looked like a tablet, but I didn't know who it belonged to and why it was covered with black cloth.
Yi Wang Yu Fengjin was dressed in a frost-colored robe, kneeling upright on the futon, twisting his beads and silently reciting scriptures. The golden sunlight shone on the Buddha and refracted on his forehead. There were a few frowns between his eyebrows.
The wrinkles carved by a knife seem to contain endless suffering.
Lu Ning had an impulse for no reason and wanted to reach out to smooth those wrinkles and brush away all his suffering. Later, when Lu Ning recalled this past event, he realized that he had fallen in love with him at this moment, but it was just that he had fallen in love with him at that moment.
She is still in love and has not realized her feelings.
Little Shani on the side was knocking the wooden fish leisurely, which made people feel calm.
She resisted the urge to reach out to his eyebrows, walked slowly to the Bodhisattva, and asked for three sticks of incense. Then, like Yu Fengjin, she knelt on the futon upright with her hands clasped together, and closed her eyes amidst the gentle and gentle chanting of sutras.
Blessings.
The two of them were very close, and the faint scent of ambergris from Yu Fengjin's body could be heard faintly. Lu Ning couldn't help but have a thought in her heart, and couldn't help opening her beautiful eyes to peek at the man beside her.
Yu Fengjin felt a fiery gaze and slowly opened her eyes. When she looked sideways, Lu Ning had already withdrawn her sight and closed her eyes again.
He stared at her deeply. Although the sun was shining brightly outside the hall, Lu Ning knelt quietly in the shadow of the hall. The golden light reflected from the Bodhisattva made her cheeks blush, and her whole body was shrouded in a layer of holy light. At that moment
An illusion, in Yu Fengjin's eyes, Lu Ning's figure happened to overlap with the Bodhisattva, and his heart suddenly moved.
Lu Ning slowly opened his eyes, and Yu Fengjin immediately turned his gaze away, pretending to be looking at the Bodhisattva. Feeling Lu Ning's gaze, he turned around pretending to be nonchalant and smiled faintly at her: "What a coincidence!
I didn’t expect that we could meet here again.”
"Yes, we...are really destined." Lu Ning smiled, her jade-like cheeks already as bright as a begonia.
Yu Fengjin slowly stood up from the futon, dusted off the incense ashes on her body, and said softly: "Leader of the Lu Gang, do you want to go to the side hall to have some vegetarian food and snacks together?"
"That's fine. I've been climbing the mountain all morning, and now I'm really hungry." Lu Ning also quickly stood up and followed him out of the Main Hall, heading towards the side hall on the east side.
The side hall is small in area and decorated in a simple and elegant manner. The two of them sat across from each other around a small round table. On the table were several vegetarian dishes, snacks and tea.
Seeing Yu Fengjin carrying a pot to add tea to herself, Lu Ning asked softly: "Your Highness, I heard that all the temples in the city are overcrowded, why is the beautiful Lanruo Temple so deserted?"
Yu Fengjin took a sip of tea and sighed: "Actually, the incense here used to be very prosperous. The previous Abbot Jueyuan was invited to the palace to give lectures to the vassal king. What happened here eighteen years ago
A fire turned this place into an ominous place, and no more pilgrims came..."
"Fire?" Lu Ning was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "What happened here eighteen years ago?"
Yu Fengjin leaned back slightly, stared at the door, and said sadly: "Eighteen years ago, I was just a child. I didn't know the details. I just heard a general idea: I heard that the abbot here hid an unknown person.
Emperor Yu was furious about the people who should be hiding, so he sent people to tie the people here together and burn them to death."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes tightened, and he frowned and asked, "Does Your Highness know what kind of people are hiding here?"
Yu Fengjin shook his head slightly and sighed: "The identity of a person who can make Long Yan furious must not be simple. Moreover, the emperor wants to keep it secret, who dares to inquire? However, I can vaguely remember that the monk hid it
The...is a newborn baby girl..."
He didn't know whether he glanced at Lu Ning intentionally or unintentionally. Lu Ning only felt his heart tightening and his scalp going numb: He is exactly eighteen years old this year! If what Gu Zhili, the Minister of Punishment, said is true, then eighteen years
Isn’t it possible that the baby girl who was hidden by the monks here is herself? 8.1
Wenwang
She originally thought it was just a story, but she didn't expect the truth to be far more tragic than she imagined! Just hiding herself made Emperor Yu so angry that he burned a whole temple of monks to death. So if Emperor Yu knew that she was still alive, wouldn't it be a disaster for the whole world?
The caravan will be buried with him! Even people who know him will be implicated?
She raised her eyes and looked at Yu Fengjin steadily, feeling a dull pain in her heart.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing her confusion, Yu Fengjin asked thoughtfully.
"It's nothing." Lu Ning quickly shook his head and forced a smile: "I just feel a little cold."
A smile appeared on Yu Fengjin's lips, and she said gently: "This is a mountain, and the temperature is much lower than in the city. If you sit for a long time, you will feel cold. Then do you want to go for a walk in the garden? Maybe take a walk.
It will be warmer."
"That's fine. I happen to be full too." Lu Ning took the opportunity to stand up and followed him out of the East Side Hall and towards the back garden.
The garden is full of ancient trees and strange rocks. You can only hear the sound of spring water, but you can't see the path to the spring water.
"It's a temple. Just walking around can make people feel peaceful." Lu Ning opened his arms and took a deep breath, feeling his whole body relaxed.
"By the way, Your Highness." She turned her head and looked at Yu Fengjin, and suddenly asked: "You come here to pray. If the emperor finds out, won't he blame you?"
Yu Fengjin lowered her eyelids and said calmly: "Don't worry, if Emperor Yu really hated this place, this temple would have ceased to exist long ago, so even if he knew that I had been here, he would not condemn me for it. And...
…I’m not here to pray, but to pay homage to an old friend.”
"Sacrifice an old friend?" Lu Ning raised her eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: "Then why don't you go to the old friend's grave to pay homage?"
"Hey." Yu Fengjin's gentle and feeble sigh was full of bitterness and sadness: "This old friend has a special status and is a sinner in the eyes of Emperor Yu. Therefore, she cannot have a tablet, and I cannot go to her tomb to worship.
In desperation, I can only come to this remote and uninhabited temple to worship secretly on Buddha's birthday every year."
"I'm sorry, I have brought back your highness' sadness again." Lu Ning was annoyed and blamed herself: If she was as considerate and careful as Hua Fangyi, she should have thought of this, right? Why is she always so reckless?
He was reckless again and mentioned the past of King Yi again and again, adding salt to his wounds!
"That's right." Yu Fengjin quickly regained his composure and asked as if nothing had happened: "How is Ping Si's situation? Is he willing to join the Imperial Guard?"
"I have talked with him about this matter, and he said that everything will be at my disposal, and there is no clear statement." Lu Ning answered truthfully.
"It seems that the key to this matter is the Lu Gang Leader! How about it, is the Lu Gang Leader willing to give up his love?" Yu Fengjin suddenly stopped and looked at her with burning eyes, a smile on his face.
Lu Ning felt that his heartbeat was a little fast, so he immediately lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Ping Si is my favorite candidate, and I really don't want to let him go easily. However, when I mentioned Yu Shou Si, he looked at me
He seemed very interested in it, so I had to let it go."
The expression on Yu Fengjin's face lit up, he held out his hand to her, and said with a smile: "This is really good news! I would like to thank the leader of the Lu Gang for his generous donation, and reluctantly parted ways with me!"
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite." Lu Ning's cheeks turned slightly red and his heart beat faster.
"There is something else I need to remind you." Yu Fengjin changed the subject and lowered her voice and said: "Before entering the Imperial Guards Department, I will try my best to erase most of Ping Si's experiences, so if you meet again in the future, you can
We are no longer old acquaintances, you must pay attention to this."
Lu Ning smiled faintly and sighed softly: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I understand the stakes involved! For their safety and the safety of the caravan. As long as Your Highness does not let them come back for one day, they will no longer be part of the caravan."
brother."
The two walked around the back garden and felt a little tired, so they climbed up the rockery and sat in the pavilion on the top of the mountain to rest for a while. Looking around from here, they could see the panoramic view of Lanruo Temple, which was extremely beautiful.
"Hahaha! After eighteen years, Pindao is finally waiting for you!"
The two of them just sat down
Next, a burst of heroic and crazy laughter came from all directions, making people's scalp numb.
"Who is it!" Lu Ning jumped up from the stone bench as if he was electrocuted. He immediately held the nine-section whip in his hand and looked around with a vigilant expression.
"Your Highness, don't worry. As long as I protect you, no one can hurt you." She stepped in front of Yu Fengjin and used her petite body to cover him.
Seeing her majestic appearance, Yu Fengjin's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth with a knowing smile.
The crazy laughter was getting closer and closer. After a while, a bald man in Taoist robes came out of the back mountain and approached the two of them in a swagger.
"Eighteen years! I have been waiting for eighteen years, and you are here as promised!" He kept saying crazy words, staring closely at the man behind Lu Ning.
"Stop! If you take one more step forward, I will make you splash with blood on the spot!" Lu Ning held the whip in front of him with both hands and warned in a stern tone.
When the bald Taoist priest saw the girl in front of him, his whole body stiffened suddenly, and he immediately looked up and down. Tears filled his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "If Master Jue Yuan could see you today, he would definitely be able to rest in peace.
! It seems that his sacrifice and that of his junior brothers were not in vain!"
What he said became more and more outrageous. Lu Ning turned his head slightly and asked the person behind him: "Your Highness, do you know him? Do you know what he is talking about?" This chapter has been completed!
