Hello Chang’an

Chapter 182: Recognition (Updated)

But Chang Sui'an shook his head: "I don't know which family it is from. I just know that it is the girl who went to the back mountain to pick chrysanthemums yesterday. She seems to have disappeared in the back mountain... The monks and the imperial guards in the temple have been looking for it all night. Until now, Not found yet.”

Chang Sui Ning roughly understood the phrase "I don't know which family it is from yet." It seemed that the girl's family deliberately concealed her identity.

The girls accompanying this time are all the daughters of officials and powerful people. Now she has been missing for a day and a night. If there is a big fuss and everyone knows about it, even if she is found later, there will be criticism and trouble.

Under such circumstances, it is a common practice to not disclose the identity to the outside world for the time being in order to protect the reputation of the daughter's family and the family's face.

Among the girls who were traveling together, one might be able to make some guesses based on who was missing, but for a man like her brother, there was no way to investigate.

"Cui Liulangjun and I wanted to help find someone, but the Imperial Guards just said they didn't need it and didn't let us get close. Now the back mountain has been surrounded," Chang Sui'an said.

Cui Liulang said that this was because he did not want irrelevant people like them to interfere.

Chang Suining nodded: "With the Forbidden Army here, there should be no shortage of manpower to find people..."

The Imperial Army's move must have been prompted by the girl's family or the Holy Book Emperor. Firstly, they did not want to publicize the identity of the missing girl, and secondly...

If the worst result does occur, this will ensure that the accident scene is not excessively damaged as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Chang Suining subconsciously said: "No matter which family the girl is from, I just hope she can be found safely."

Chang Sui'an nodded.

Seeing that the abbot's room was right in front of them, the brother and sister pressed the matter down without saying anything more.

The moment she stepped into the room, Chang Sui Ning deliberately made herself look natural without showing flaws.

Wujue looked the same as usual. When he saw the two brothers and sisters coming over, he smiled and urged his disciples to prepare food.

"Have you been suffocating in the tower for the past three days? It's cold even if you bring me the fast food..." Wu Jue personally picked up the dishes for Chang Sui Ning, "Here, let's eat something hot to warm up."

Chang Suining watched him picking up the vegetables in his porridge bowl, and then looked at what was on the table. For a moment, he seemed to be pulled back many years ago.

Chang Sui'an also noticed the difference: "Why does today's fasting meal seem different from usual?"

"Of course it's different." Wujue smiled and said, "I did all of this today."

Chang Sui An was surprised: "You are also good at cooking!"

"Why, your father didn't tell you? In the past, when I was marching with His Highness, I was always the one cooking. I cooked the mutton noodle soup with my own hands. It was so fragrant. Your father could only eat five big bowls, but he almost had to eat the pot. "

"He has been thinking about this bite all year round, and he still begs me to make him a bowl from time to time. But that's not possible, I am a monk now."

Wujue smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and looked at the girl who was eating vegetables with her eyes lowered: "I can't make meat dishes, so let's try some vegetarian dishes. It's just that I haven't cooked for a long time, so I don't know if my skills are still there."

Chang Suining lowered his head and chewed slowly.

Here I am.

It still tastes the same as before, nothing has changed.

It seemed that after eating, he got up, put on his armor, and left the tent with Lao Chang and the others to kill the enemy.

After Chang Sui'an tasted it twice, he nodded in surprise and said it was delicious. No wonder his father was so greedy that he wanted to eat the pot!

Wujue put down his chopsticks halfway through the meal and said with a smile: "Happy Sui, just sit down and eat slowly. I'll take Suining into the inner room to talk about Buddhism... If anyone knocks on the door, you haven't finished the meal yet. Let them wait outside first."

Chang Sui'an was startled when he heard this. What Buddhist teachings does Master Wujue want to discuss alone with his sister?

What's more, it's more like asking him to stay here and keep an eye on things than to ask him to eat?

The boy subconsciously looked at his sister, and saw that she also put down the bowl and chopsticks, so he nodded.

Although he was a little puzzled, since one was his sister and the other was Master Wujue who had watched him grow up, Chang Sui'an followed the arrangement and continued to eat where he was.

Chang Suining followed Wu Jue into the inner room.

"What kind of Buddhist teachings does Second Dad want to discuss with me?" she asked.

"Don't worry, let's go inside and talk..." Wujue said, raising his finger.

Chang Suining followed the direction of his finger and looked: ...under the bed?

It's a little too deep here.

Wujue motioned for her to go forward.

"You are the elder, please go ahead." Chang Sui Ning said politely.

"What, are you afraid that someone might plot against you?" Wujue snorted, a little dissatisfied: "You really don't believe me that much?"

With that said, he strode to the bed as if he was proving his innocence, bent over and climbed in.

After a while, a slightly muffled voice came from under the bed: "Look, I'm not dead."

"..." Chang Suining followed in.

She followed Wu Jue through a secret passage and came to a secret room.

Like Cui Jing last time, Chang Suining's eyes were first attracted to those wine jars.

Wujue walked to the stone wall and lit a lamp.

After the lamp was lit, Wujue still stood where he was, with his back to Chang Sui Ning.

It was strangely quiet all around.

After a while, it was Chang Sui Ning who spoke first: "Where is the Dharma?"

Wujue didn't answer her.

After another moment of silence, the fat figure spoke.

The voice was low, a little hoarse, a little sighing, a little complaining, a little caring about the young.

"You came back, why didn't you say anything?"

Without hearing a response, Wu Jue turned around slowly, his eye circles already red. When he asked again, his voice was louder: "Since you are back... why don't you tell your subordinates!"

Chang Suining looked at him puzzled: "...What's coming back?"

Wujue glared: "You still don't admit it!"

Chang Suining: "Admit what...?"

Wujue's nose felt sore, he sat down with a plop, clapped his legs and started crying: "You are so cruel, you still refuse to acknowledge your subordinates until now!" Chang Suining: "..."

"Are you masters so cruel?"

"I look forward to your return day and night... At this age, how many days do I have left to live?"

"I gave you the finger and you refused to take it. Now you are still pretending not to recognize me... How can I still harm you?"

Wujue complained with tears and tears, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

Chang Suining had a headache from crying.

He had guessed that she was most afraid of people around her crying in front of her.

Wu Jue's crying alone was not enough. He rolled up the sleeves of his monk's robe and cried even more aggrieved: "Look at the sores all over my body, how can I be the one who will harm you!"

Sores?

Chang Suining looked over and saw that there were many scars on his hands and arms, which were densely packed and shocking.

How did this come about?

Wu Jue wiped his nose and cried: "As a monk, I have all the sores on my body because of you. You may not believe in Lao Chang, Lao Meng and the others, but you cannot disown me!"

For her?

Wujue continued to cry: "Your Highness, if you still have some conscience, just admit it!"

Chang Suining: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about..."

There is no absolute certainty: "You understand!"

He said: "You can only be your Highness with such a harsh mouth!"

Chang Suining: "...I'm not."

Wujue: "You are it!"

Then, without waiting for Chang Suining to deny it, he said with tearful eyes: "Whoever lies is a donkey!"

He added: "Whoever doesn't admit it will be bald tomorrow!"

Chang Suining: "..."

It’s not necessary to threaten in such a high-level way!

Wujue stared at her closely: "Tell me again, are you?"

"..." Chang Sui Ning looked at him helplessly.

Their eyes met for a moment, Chang Suining sighed softly.

Wujue was obviously 100% sure, so her denial was meaningless.

Chang Sui Ning, who didn't want to be that unlucky guy at all, wanted to look at the sky with some annoyance, but when he looked up, he saw a wall of earth.

"Okay, it's me," she said.

The next moment, Jue Wujue rushed towards her, knelt down at her feet and cried loudly, "Wow".

"You finally admitted it!"

"The sores on my body were all round when they first appeared. I knew that if the sores were so menacing, they would become something big... It really did not grow in vain!"

Chang Suining looked down at the abbot master who was lying at her feet and crying loudly.

After a while, she squatted down and patted his back gently: "Okay, you are now an eminent monk, why are you crying like this?"

Wujue wiped away tears: "I'm not making you angry..."

"It's obvious that you made things difficult for others." Chang Suining sat back casually and sighed: "I should cry."

Wujue said aggrievedly: "I just want to get to know you, and I have no intention of forcing you to do anything..."

After admitting it, Chang Sui Ning stopped worrying about it and asked him: "But how did you determine that it was me?"

Is she easy to recognize?

A person who has been dead for more than ten years suddenly reappears in another person. This is such an incredible thing that no one would believe it.

What is the basis for Wujue to be so certain? —The secret in the Goddess Tower?

Cui Jing hinted to her before leaving that Wujue had the answer she wanted.

Wujue choked up and said: "Everything in the world has its own cause and effect. Although you have changed your identity and appearance, you are still you... It was God's inspiration that made my subordinates recognize you."

Chang Suining: "...Let's say something that people can understand."

Wujue choked up for a moment before saying, "It was Governor Cui who told me."

Chang Suining: "Cui Jing?"

"Yes." Wujue nodded and said: "It was Governor Cui who recognized you first... His subordinates set up a taboo formation in the Tiannv Tower. He is the one who has the opportunity to create this formation. He is a thoughtful person and a thoughtful person. Looking at your unintentional actions, you will naturally start to make assumptions."

"What really convinced Governor Cui in the end was your unusual self-rescue when you encountered difficulties in Hezhou." Wu Jue asked: "Your Highness came back at that time, right?"

Chang Suining nodded.

Wu Jue said: "As early as that time, the formation in the tower had already given guidance... But no one thought at that time that you had come back."

Chang Suining looked at him, "So, the formation in the Goddess Tower..."

Wujue: "This is for your resurrection."

Resurrection?

Although he had thought about this possibility in the past few days, Chang Sui Ning's heart still stirred when he heard it with his own ears.

It turns out that her "resurrection from the dead" was not accidental, but man-made.

Then, she has two questions that need to be confirmed and faced.

She asked the one she cared about most first.

Goodnight everybody.
