spring event night

Qianfo Temple is located on a mountain outside the city. The temple is built halfway up the mountain. The peaks and ridges are hidden by green screens.The gurgling mountain stream merges into an emerald-like lake at the foot of the mountain. The lake and mountains are so beautiful.

Shang Yicheng followed Jiang Shan to the Thousand Buddha Temple, and when he entered the temple, there was a long corridor covered by several porches, and the Daxiong Hall was still inside.There is a three-foot-high sutra altar on the hall, and the solemn Buddha image of Baoxiang sits in the center.There is a long table in front of it, which is dedicated to the sacred horses of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Nine copper incense burners are placed side by side, and the incense in the furnace is ethereal.

His Highness placed three futons, Jiang Shan stepped forward and knelt on the futons, and bowed three times devoutly.His movements were orderly, and his eyes were calm, without the usual anxiety and longing of praying to gods and Buddhas.Shang Yicheng watched from the side, and felt that he was not the one who worshiped Buddha, but the one who was confessed by people.

Not long after, Jiang Shan got up, took the incense from the monks, and put it into the incense burner.The smoke of Jiang Tan was gone, and after being in Jiang Shan's hands, the sandalwood all over his body was stained.

After paying homage to the Buddha, Jiang Shan and Shang Yicheng went to the back and walked into the hall, only to see that the hall was full of Buddha statues, all of which were chiseled out of marble. The gods and Buddhas of the gods were happy or scolded, sitting or lying down, and they were all in different shapes.

They are all carved very tall and big, and people need to look up to see them. After looking at them for a long time, they will unconsciously take on three points of piety.

Shang Yicheng heard a man next to him praying to the Buddha statue that his wife would give birth to a boy, and a man on the other side, who was a businessman, prayed for wealth.

Shang Yicheng was a little speechless, he and Jiang Shan looked at each other with amused eyes.

Jiang Shan turned around and walked out of the Buddhist hall. There was a lotus pond more than ten feet behind the hall, with white lotuses in the pond, holy and peaceful.Jiang Shan walked to the middle of the bridge and stopped.

He was wearing a moon-white silk shirt with some cloud patterns embroidered on the hem, although it didn't look luxurious, it had a certain air.He often puts his hands in his sleeves, showing a kind of gentleness.Duan Xian usually puts on a gentle face, it is to attract others to tell the truth in front of him.But Jiang Shan is different, his gentleness makes people feel comfortable, it is okay to talk, it is also okay to stay by his side without talking.

Shang Yicheng stood aside, and it became more and more difficult for him to connect the person in front of him with the legendary Dongchang Changgong.

"I see that other people pray for gods and Buddhas, what about you?" Shang Yicheng asked Jiang Shan, "Do you have any troubles in such a position?"

Jiang Shan thought for a while and said, "I'm just used to it, I just come here for peace of mind."

Shang Yicheng stood side by side with him and listened to him, "When I was young, there was an elder who believed in gods and Buddhas very much, and I followed her to listen to a lot of Buddhist scriptures. When I grew up, worshiping Buddha was for self-cultivation, so that I would not be so pain."

Jiang Shan stopped talking, thinking of the days before he met Duan Xian.Shang Yicheng didn't know why, and his eyes showed doubts.

Jiang Shan smiled and said: "It's hard to say because I'm old and I always like to think about old things, that's all."

Shang Yicheng asked, "How old are you?"

"Twenty to eight, this age is too young to be considered young." Jiang Shan glanced at Shang Yicheng and asked, "What about you?"

"Twenty one."

Jiang Shan was surprised for a moment, he was actually one year younger than Duan Xian, "It's really young and talented to win Tanhua at such a young age."

Shang Yicheng pursed his lips, smiling very reservedly.

Jiang Shan was indeed a little envious. When he was 21 years old, he was still working as a housekeeper in Chengwang's mansion. He lived ignorantly, with no way out and no way back.

After a fast meal at Qianfo Temple, they went to the back mountain in the afternoon.

There are tall trees covering the sky and the sun everywhere in the mountains. The green trees are thick and cool.

There is a long step on the back mountain, which winds to the foot of the mountain. Because there are not many people walking, the steps are covered with green moss.The sound of birds came from the forest, accompanied by the sound of running water, and the sound of temple bells in the distance echoed in the empty mountains and valleys.

Jiang Shanyuebai's figure was walking unhurriedly among the thick green. Shang Yicheng looked back when he heard the bell and asked, "Are we too far away from the Thousand Buddha Temple?"

Jiang Shan looked back and said, "It's okay, if you're not tired, we'll go down after walking, and the rest of you will go down the mountain and wait until I get back."

Shang Yicheng nodded, but still looked a little worried.

Jiang Shan tugged at him, "It's so easy to come here, enjoy yourself while playing, and don't worry about the rest of the chores. Aren't you very talented in writing? Why don't you write a poem."

Shang Yicheng snorted, "I will do it if you ask me to do it?"

Jiang Shan gave him a funny look, "As you like."

Turning around the stone steps, one side is a piece of green bamboo, and the other side is a high slope.

"I used to have a yard, and there was a large piece of bamboo in it, which almost covered the house." Jiang Shan touched the tall and straight bamboo with great interest. Branches, lightly touch a ball of snow and then fall down."

Shang Yicheng also stepped forward to touch the bamboo. He thought that Jiang Shan must be a person without friends, otherwise he would be able to talk so enthusiastically to himself, obviously they don't have much friendship.

Perhaps he will also tell His Majesty, if His Majesty has time to accompany him here.

"You..." Before Shang Yicheng could finish speaking, a hidden arrow pierced through the bamboo forest and pierced the air, and passed through Jiang Shan's shoulder.

Shang Yicheng was shocked, before he could react, Jiang Shan hurriedly dragged him back.The first arrow seemed to be a signal, and then an unknown number of arrows came towards them, forcing them to stop behind a big rock.

Shang Yicheng went to see Jiang Shan, Jiang Shan held his right shoulder, blood seeped from his fingers, along his wrist, and wet his sleeve.

"What's going on?" Shang Yicheng asked.

"Assassination." Jiang Shan still smiled at the moment, "I haven't seen it before."

Shang Yicheng's palms were covered with cold sweat, "What should I do now?"

The arrow shot for a while and then stopped. Not long after, there was another movement in the forest. The danger was like a huge monster, slowly approaching the two people.

Jiang Shan pulled out a signal firework from his waist and said, "People come from the right, let's go left."

On the left is a high slope, and it is hard to see where it is at a glance.

Shang Yicheng had no way to refute, and it was too late to hesitate at this time.He is a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and Jiang Shan is not very powerful, so he will definitely not survive if he is caught.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Shan lit the fireworks in his hand to notify the people staying on the mountain. The next moment, Shang Yicheng pulled the two of them to turn to the left and rolled down the hillside together.The sharp arrows that followed were shot down from above. At this time, whether you can live or not depends on luck.

The faces of the Dongchang people who were waiting for Jiang Shan on the mountain changed instantly when they saw the fireworks in the sky, and some people came here immediately.The assassin stood on the stone steps and looked down, asking the leader, "What should I do?"

The leader looked down and said: "Go down and search. People from Dongchang will arrive within a cup of tea. After a cup of tea, they will have to leave if they can't find it."

"Yes."

Jiang Shan, who rolled all the way to the bottom, turned over and vomited a mouthful of blood. When he rolled down, he hit a tree stump, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced due to the pain.

Shang Yicheng came over there, with several bruises on his face and disheveled hair, but no serious trauma.He helped Jiang Shan up and said, "What shall we do now?"

As soon as Jiang Shan sat up, he felt a sharp pain in his leg. He coughed twice, and the smell of blood was all over him.

"Find a place to hide." Jiang Shan pointed to the withered grass, "Pick up things."

Shang Yicheng looked at it, it was the blood jade bracelet in Jiang Shan's hand, maybe it hit a stone and broke it, the crack was still stained with blood from Jiang Shan's hand.

"At what time are you still thinking about the bracelet!"

"If things stay here, those people will know that we have stayed here." Jiang Shan said quietly, "Hurry up."

Shang Yicheng had no choice but to pull out the broken bracelet in a hurry, put it in his arms, turned around and carried Jiang Shan on his back to find a direction, and walked away with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Jiang Shan frowned, Shang Yicheng carried him behind his back, and could feel his body trembling every time he coughed.He was flustered, worried that Jiang Shan had hurt his lungs.Jiang Shan's wrist was in front of him, and he saw that Jiang Shan's left wrist was bleeding, and the wound was very rough, probably scratched by a broken bracelet.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shang Yicheng found a big tree hole. He hid Jiang Shan in it, and he also got in, and found a lot of hay to cover the hole.

Jiang Shan suppressed the itching in his throat, not daring to make a sound.Shang Yicheng grabbed Jiang Shan's arm, also holding his breath and not daring to move.

There was no movement at all outside, except for occasional birds and cicadas chirping, Shang Yicheng asked Jiang Shan in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

After such a time, the people in Dongchang have reacted no matter what.

Jiang Shan nodded, and Shang Yicheng let out a sigh of relief.He let Jiang Shan stay in the tree hole, and went out to have a look by himself.Jiang Shan complied, and soon Yicheng came back and filled the leaves with water.

"There is a stream not far away. There is no trace of anyone coming around. Those people must have left."

Jiang Shan drank some water and said: "Don't be too happy, those people can't find us, the people in Dongchang can't find us, we don't know where it is, if we really can't get out, the same is to die."

When Shang Yicheng heard it, the mood that was a little bit happier just now fell again, "Then what should we do now?"

"Is it dark outside?" Jiang Shan asked.

Shang Yicheng nodded.

"Let's start a fire," Jiang Shan said, "If there are any wild animals in the forest, we won't be helpless."

Shang Yicheng listened to Jiang Shan, and the fire lit up, reflecting Jiang Shan's pale face.Shang Yicheng couldn't help asking: "Are you okay?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Shan closed his eyes. He worshiped the gods and Buddhas anyway, but he was hurt more than Shang Yicheng. I really don't know if the gods and Buddhas don't want to see him.

Shang Yicheng squatted aside, very worried, "Will we die here?"

"No," Jiang Shan said, "Your Majesty will come to save us."

Shang Yicheng glanced at Jiang Shan, "Your Majesty? Do you trust Your Majesty so much?"

Jiang Shan laughed suddenly, as if he didn't feel pain at all, "Of course, he will always come to save me."

The author has something to say: Shang Yicheng: I don’t know why, but I really want to bark.
