The Eight Winds of Rebirth

Gu Xiangtan lived in Chantuo Temple for a few days, and Kuyu originally wanted to choose the day of the Obon Festival to open the Taoist temple and pray for Gu Xiangtan, but Gu Xiangtan declined, saying on the surface that he wanted to deal with it quickly, In fact, I really don't want this fake monk to tarnish the Buddhist festival.

On the day when the dojo was built, the sun was scorching hot, and the shimmering jade was like gold. Early in the morning, a lavish altar was set up at the gate of the temple. Even though the weather was hot, most of the people from the small Zhaoyang County came here. Pay homage to the Buddha devoutly, for fear of missing a good time and getting less blessings.

As a benefactor, Gu Xiangtan would naturally be there, but Zhao Yuan meant that he didn't want to make him too public, and Ku Yu cleverly said that Gu Xiangtan only needs to go through the motions when offering incense, and the rest will be done by himself. .

So, the excellent singer and composer worked hard all day long, and Gu Xiangtan came out to offer incense until the sun set on the western mountain and before the flames were burning.

The people in Zhaoyang County saw a young man in white clothes and black hair walking, with an elegant face and a dusty temperament, and a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, just like the faint cool wind blowing in this midsummer, refreshing and pleasant.And he just stood in front of the Buddha, holding the Buddhist incense in his hand, and swaying his long sleeves lightly, he vividly set off the so-called eminent monks and masters beside him like falling into deep mud, the distance between heaven and earth.

Kuyu himself seemed to be aware of it, so he couldn't help taking a step back, and was inexplicably forced by Gu Xiangtan to a corner of the Buddhist altar. It wasn't until Gu Xiangtan looked over that he realized that he still had a heavy responsibility, so he picked up a string of ebony beads and closed his eyes. He muttered eloquently, and waved his hand down the altar for a moment, and then the two monks brought a bowl of clear water to Gu Xiangtan.

"This is the holy water that the poor monk brought from Xiangguo Temple when he was practicing in Luli Qing Dynasty. It is blessed by the Buddha in it. Drinking it can drive away disasters and avoid disasters, and everything will go smoothly."

Gu Xiangtan glanced at the contents of the bowl, it was white and colorless and odorless, he had never seen such a thing after living in Xiangguo Temple for so many years, then he glanced at Zhao Yuan in the corner, and saw the other party frowning slightly With a dissatisfied expression on his face, Mou Fei and Bi Fu also stepped forward, apparently not intending to let Gu Xiangtan drink the so-called holy water of unknown origin easily.

However, this water statue is quite famous, seeing Gu Xiangtan hesitating, many people under the altar rushed to find it, wanting to replace it, but Ku Yu ignored it and only looked at Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan didn't move, and suddenly pushed backhand, gave it to the novice at the side, and motioned him to take a sip first.

The novice monk looked at Kuyu in embarrassment.

Such a good opportunity to show off, Ku Yu is not willing to give it up to others, he directly reached out and took the bowl, just about to raise his head, but Zhao Yuan interrupted: "Bring another bowl."

Ku Yu froze for a moment, squeezed out an awkward smile and nodded.

After the novice took another bowl and poured some for Chan Master Kuyu to drink, Gu Xiangtan drank it.

Seeing his cooperation, Ku Yu started to practice without any scruples. After the flame was lit, he beat the wooden fish and gongs and drums. Finally, amidst a series of chanting sounds, Ku Yu suddenly threw out the Buddhist beads in his hand and shouted to the sky. , and then pointed heavily at Gu Xiangtan, and shouted: "The evil and crazy demons leave quickly, don't disturb the lives of ordinary people in the world, now that the Da Luo Jinxian is protecting you, why don't you obey the law on the spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiangtan was startled suddenly, then his legs bent up, and he fell straight down.

The people on both sides were amazed, kowtowed and kowtowed one after another, calling the master Gao Duan repeatedly.

Ku Yu stretched out his hand to help him, but before he stretched out his arm, a shadow came up much faster than him. He stretched out his arm and hugged Gu Xiangtan directly into his arms. Zhao Yuan glanced at him coldly. Gu Xiangtan, who lost consciousness, stared at Ku Yu again, and asked, "Why?"

Ku Yu was inexplicably afraid of this person, and when Zhao Yuan looked directly at his forehead, he broke out in a layer of sweat. Fortunately, he still remembered his important job, and tried his best to say: "This, this benefactor has something treacherous and evil on him." , that caused the nightmares again and again, now the poor monk has opened the altar to get rid of it, and he can sleep well in the future, the benefactor no, don't worry too much, go back to the temple to rest for a while, he will wake up soon..."

Zhao Yuan stared at Ku Yu for a moment, seeing Ku Yu as weak, then she seemed to believe his words, picked up Gu Xiangtan and went back to Chantuo Temple.

Ku Yu secretly let out a sigh of relief at the backs of the two of them, and then continued to do the next ceremony in the same way as before.

Zen Master Kuyu has become famous in just a few years in Zhaoyang. Now people have heard about it not only in Lin County, but also in Chenzhou. If the weather is good, Kuyu can do four or five ashrams a day. What, as long as he thinks about the endless stream of money, the Zen master will have endless energy, but today, not too long ago, he has some signs of dizziness, weak legs, and fever in his abdomen, and his heart seems to be on fire It was so uncomfortable that the hands that knocked on the wooden fish trembled slightly.

Ku Yu chanted a few more lines, his obscene clothes became wet, he moved his legs, and suddenly felt that this dry day is really not suitable for being a dojo, next time he will definitely not suffer this kind of suffering again.

After hastily offering incense and giving some instructions to the benefactor, Master Kuyu asked the young monk to receive the believers, while he asked Yinger to be summoned, and then hurried into the inner courtyard.

……

On the other side, Gu Xiangtan was carried into the room by Zhao Yuan, and after he was placed on the bed, he opened his eyes.

Zhao Yuan took his wrist and gently felt his pulse, and Gu Xiangtan couldn't help laughing seeing his frowning solemn look.

"Why didn't I know you knew medicine?"

Zhao Yuan's face was still stern: "I dare to eat anything messy." Fortunately, the pulse was fine.

Gu Xiangtan put his hand on Zhao Yuan's shoulder, still bent his eyes: "It's just a bowl of clear water, why not dare." Seeing that Zhao Yuan was still unhappy, Gu Xiangtan softened his tone and patted the bed, "Then Zen Master It's too early to finish the work, maybe it won't end until tomorrow, I'm a little tired."

Zhao Yuan paused, and after all, except for the shoes, she lay beside Gu Xiangtan with all her clothes.

"It won't be long," he said.

Gu Xiangtan was right when he thought about it: "Na Ying'er is quick and fast."

After the two of them said a few words, Gu Xiangtan really felt a little sleepy. He couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and was about to fall asleep. Stopped outside the window.

"...Master, what's wrong with you?" A soft and waxy young voice asked in surprise.

"Well, Ying'er, I don't know what's wrong, I've been thinking about you just now, I can't think enough, come quickly..." A man said in a low and hoarse voice, his words were vague, and he seemed to be drunk and slurred his speech.

But the boy struggled: "No, no, it's getting dark right now, later..."

"What's the matter, it's not the first time, I'm so sick, I can't bear it anymore..." After finishing speaking, the rustle of the clothes followed.

"...don't, master, ah... ah..."

Gu Xiangtan opened his eyes suddenly, and silently raised his head to look at Zhao Yuan when he heard the increasingly unpleasant movement outside.

Zhao Yuan lay expressionless, nothing unusual could be seen in her eyes, she just gently retracted the hand that was around Gu Xiangtan's waist.

That young Yinger really has been in the court for a long time, no need to look at his appearance, just listening to his thin yells can make people want to die, the people who are with him obviously don't care about other things, they are not afraid of being caught When people found out, they were a little unscrupulous.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if they were transferred to an actor troupe or a luxury brothel, but now they are in a temple, and they are heard by two people who have been ascetic in two lifetimes, and the effect of the impact is also great. It can be seen.

Gu Xiangtan was able to keep an indifferent face like Zhao Yuan at first, but as time went on, he only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, three points was shock, three points was anger, and three points...he couldn't tell.

He couldn't help clenching his fists, and silently recited the Buddhist scriptures, but he still unconsciously clenched the clothes on Zhao Yuan's chest into a ball.But Zhao Yuan didn't say anything, she didn't even move, like an ice sculpture.

In fact, the two of them didn't hang out for a long time, because after a while, a series of footsteps came here, and then the voice of the monk sounded, shouting while running: "It's not good, it's not good, go to the altar outside." The water is out, Zen master, Zen master—ahh!!!”

If the first sentence was just a cry, the second scream was as horrific as if he had seen a ghost.

At the same time, the movement of the bastards by the window also stopped, followed by the uproar and panic of the people.

"This, why is this...Master, you are actually in the monastery..."

"Ah... oh my god, shameless people have simply polluted the purity of Buddhism..."

And so on, or more ugly and vicious words spewed out one after another from the mouth of a group of believers who came along, and finally pulled Gu Xiangtan out of the chaotic and blurred situation.

He sat up, moved to the side of the bed and lowered his head to put on his shoes. He shook but almost fell. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan behind him surrounded him, bent down to put his shoes on for him, and pulled Gu Xiangtan down again. , As soon as he landed, Gu Xiangtan felt that his hands and feet were weak.

After a little rectification, his face had calmed down, Gu Xiangtan and Zhao Yuan pushed the door out together, only to see chaos outside.

The people who came to report the fire and planned to put out the fire surrounded the place, looking at the two disheveled people in the middle, one is a young man named Ying'er, and the other is suffering from the master! ?

Suffering from the fact that Grandmaster's face was still crimson, his eyes were shaking, he was confused, and seemed to be a little bit unable to recover, but Ying'er beside him suddenly knelt down on the ground and began to cry.

"I, the little one, really didn't want to offend the Buddha... It was Master Kuyu, he, he said that such a small person can be blessed by the Buddha... It's okay, and I can be one with his body and mind, woo, I'm guilty, I'll be damned..." Ying'er twitched her mouth while crying, and everyone was shocked and insulted immediately.

Ying'er endured it, hearing those people scolding more and more ugly, she suddenly jumped up again: "You, you don't understand the Buddha's heart of the master, you idiots! Foolish people!" Turning her head and hugging Kuyu's leg again, "Master , Master, let's leave this place, take your silver, and take Ying'er away..."

"You, what do you think our silver is? It is given to the Bodhisattva sincerely. Some of it is life-saving money. Why are you using it to do such a messy thing!"

"Yes, they are simply liars, what kind of masters, bullshit monks, evil monks, insulting the Buddha and Buddhism! It's a good thing we believed in this before, sinful!"

Ying'er's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the public was outraged. Someone rolled up their sleeves and beat someone, but with a punch, Ying'er dodged cleverly, and hit the stunned bitter face instead.

"Ah yo", Ku Yu finally woke up.

He looked left and right at the scene before him, and at his disheveled appearance. He had always been cautious all these years, but now how could he just randomly choose a fellow from the same place to prosper in the daytime, or a wild one?He also thought of the inexplicable fever just now, which led him into the courtyard, and then his mind was in a daze until just now, he didn't know what he was doing, and he couldn't control himself just listening to Yinger's voice. At the mercy of the person in front of you.Looking at the current state of embarrassment again, after a lot of hard thinking, I turned around and looked at Ying'er, and gradually understood.

"You...are you planning on me?" Ku Yu still trusts the other party very much, so every time when he is in the dojo, most of the holy water, paper money, etc. are handled by Ying'er, but he did not expect that this guy would actually beat him up!

Ku Yu gritted his teeth, trying to make Yinger look good, but before he got up, someone raised his collar again. Facing the shocked and angry people, Ku Yu knew that the scandal had been exposed, so he could only turn to beg for mercy, but no matter what he did Rebutting, everyone no longer believed in his posturing.

Just when everyone was about to clean up the fake monk and vent their anger, Mou Fei and Su Xi waited at the side and raised their voices: "Buddhism is pure, don't offend the Buddha for a villain, even if you want to seek justice, change the land. Sending people to the government is just because he committed bloody crimes, it's really not worth it!"

Everyone was devout and Buddha-minded, so they naturally felt that this made sense, so they dragged Kuyu, Ying'er, and other accomplices in the temple to the government with curses.

Seeing those people whirring away, Gu Xiangtan was a little dazed, until Zhao Yuan took his hand and led him out of this place.

……

Back in the small courtyard in the outskirts, besides Su Xi Anyin, Zhao Yuan also arranged for a few servants to clean up, and the light meals prepared according to Gu Xiangtan's taste were neatly placed in the main hall.

It was getting late, Gu Xiangtan ate two mouthfuls and went back to the room early, lying on the bed, still a little sleepy, listening to Zhao Yuan finishing sword practice outside, and then entering the door again, just lighting a candle Except for the clothes lying beside him.

Smelling the faint scent of his bath, Gu Xiangtan's hands and feet stiffened inexplicably, and when Zhao Yuan approached, he couldn't help but back away.

However, an insignificant movement made Zhao Yuan pause for a moment, and turned her head to look at Gu Xiangtan, the faint yellow reflected his eyes brightly and deeply.

Gu Xiangtan averted his eyes, not daring to look at him.

Zhao Yuan reached out to touch his face, and Gu Xiangtan trembled.

Zhao Yuan brushed his cheek with the back of her hand and moved to his neck, Gu Xiangtan shrank her shoulders.

Zhao Yuan asked softly, "Are you afraid?"

Gu Xiangtan raised his eyes suddenly: "People and people want to follow their hearts, they are all the appearance of five dusts and six sense organs, how is it different from ordinary desires..." In other words, why should he be afraid.

Zhao Yuan hooked her fingers, and her fingertips slightly sneaked into Gu Xiangtan's neckline, caressing carefully: "Have you been thinking about it all the time?" So since coming back, she has been distracted, unable to sleep or eat.

Gu Xiangtan, who was pointed out, was stunned for a rare moment, and the confused voice he heard before echoed in his ears. After living for so long, experiencing changes of life and death, and dynasties, it was the first time that he was terrified by this ordinary thing. Light, knowing that it is not necessary, but piercing my heart like a disturbing monster, disturbing Gu Xiangtan, who has always been calm, lost his mind.

He squinted at Zhao Yuan, the face in front of him was still clear and unruffled.

Gu Xiangtan was not angry, why did this person have no influence?With a thought in his heart, he got up first and moved towards Zhao Yuan before he could figure it out.

Zhao Yuan watched the other party get closer and closer, her lips warmed up slightly, this was the first time Gu Xiangtan made such a bold move.

His eyelashes trembled frequently, his cheeks were flushed, but he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

What are you afraid of?

I am afraid that desire will confuse people, and I am afraid that I can't help myself.

Zhao Yuan didn't move, and stared at Gu Xiangtan intently. Gu Xiangtan also became stubborn and confronted him without blinking. Upwelling, water glistened in his eyes.

Gu Xiangtan's elbows trembled, and after all he had no strength to hold on and was about to lie back down. Who knew that he could only move, and a hand came up from his back, and pressed him directly in front of someone's chest and abdomen, and his lips met. Paste, toss and turn chan cotton.

Zhao Yuan sucked Gu Xiangtan's lips, her breath was hot, if she could bluff people on the surface, but such an intimate behavior made Gu Xiangtan deeply aware that the other party was not as calm and composed as she seemed.Zhao Yuan's movements rarely showed a hint of urgency, even anxiety. His heart was probably churning more violently than Gu Xiangtan's, but he could hide, suppress, and endure.

Surprised, Gu Xiangtan was immediately filled with a feeling called satisfaction, which was also mixed with embarrassment, joy and all kinds of indescribable complexity, erupting in his heart like a small volcano. stand up.

Neither of the two said anything, but they could see the rising and surging emotions in each other's eyes, and the scattered bits and pieces ignited a prairie fire.

Zhao Yuan's hand caressed the back of Gu Xiangtan's neck, and slowly moved to his body, unbuttoning him bit by bit.

Gu Xiangtan kept staring at Zhao Yuan all the time, watching him look back at him, watching him slowly approaching, his trembling heart completely collapsed under Zhao Yuan's words.

Zhao Yuan said: "If you don't want to, just tell me..." He can stop anytime, anywhere.

His eyes are deep, but there is no false color, what he said to Gu Xiangtan is always true, and he will always do it.

When facing such a person, Gu Xiangtan couldn't bear his self-restraint.

He said in his heart: Yuanqing, what I am willing to do is you, I am willing to do anything... While gritting his teeth, he boldly raised his leg, and gently rubbed the waist and abdomen of the person on his body, what he did and what he expressed was not the same. Needless to say.

Zhao Yuan's eyes moved, and the indifference on it gradually melted away, finally revealing the crimson underneath, and turned over to cover the person who was thinking about it...

The cloud broke through the sky, and the wish was fulfilled.

……

Early the next morning, Gu Xiangtan went to bed late, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside, looking at the face next to the pillow, and thinking about what happened yesterday, Gu Xiangtan couldn't help but blushed.

Zhao Yuan had already woken up, and knew his temper, so she didn't provoke him with words, she just raised her lips once in a thousand years, showed an extremely gentle smile, and leaned over to kiss his lips.

"Where is the pain?" he asked.

How could Gu Xiangtan say that? He only snorted, and didn't dare to move his sore waist. He arched his head into his arms and said, "I'll pick him up from the prison in two days." Of course he was talking about that Ying'er, I can't go anywhere, but I want to come under their window to do that nasty thing, obviously to repay the unhappiness of tying him up before, I hate Gu Xiangtan in my heart, and also hooked someone by the way, really enough.

Zhao Yuan would not have any objections, so she got up first, and then went to Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan was not feeling well, but afraid of Su Xi and the others thinking too much, he endured the discomfort and sat up, but when he lowered his head, he saw a lucky bag hung on his chest at some point.

The one my mother gave me has already gone with the poisonous arrow, but the one I have imagined right now is festive red, embroidered with auspicious plum branches with deer titles, but the color is more elegant and suitable. The adult Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan stretched out his hand to touch it, and he could smell the scent of hosta flowers coming out of it, and there was also a small peace talisman, just like the one he hung around this man's neck with his own hands back then.

Gu Xiangtan's eyes were slightly hot, and he looked up at Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan didn't say anything, just leaned over and kissed him lightly on the forehead, and a thin line was drawn on the unbuttoned robe, connecting with the lucky bag under it, and together with Gu Xiangtan, the two sides reflected each other.

Long-lasting blessings, safe and healthy.
