The Buddha Temple is not pure

On the seventh day when heavy rain poured down the city, Duan Shi woke up.

The five sisters of the Duan family seemed to see the dawn of dawn and the hope of family rejuvenation, and they were so happy from ear to ear. Duan Youyi brought a cup of tea over and said, "Brother, you finally woke up."

Duan Shiqing has been in a coma these days, and has been relying on soup to suppress him, but at this time, eating is a problem, and his soup has become the biggest burden on the family. Now that he wakes up, everyone is relieved.

Sipping the tea in the elder sister's hand, he frowned and took a sip: "It's so bitter, it's for people to drink."

The five sisters turned from joy to worry, and they didn't know how to speak to him.

He sat up and got acquainted with the environment in front of him. Then he remembered the scene of Dongdu heavy rain and his family fleeing: "Where is this?"

"Han Cui Peak."

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Duan Siyao sighed: "They are all refugees, so why not make noise. Your tent is already considered clean. It was even more noisy when we all squeezed seats in the thatched pavilion before. Now that we move to the high platform, it is better."

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and looked around in a panic: "Where are my dogs? A dozen dogs, which tent are they in?"

"Calm down, the whole family is fleeing, no one can take care of you, how can you take care of your dog, it has already fallen off the cliff in Panyunzhai, and your parents, parents...are... gone too." mentioned This, Duan Siyao was heartbroken, and tears fell down like beads.

"Impossible!" Duan Shiqing was filled with grief and indignation, "My dogs are all hounds. I usually walk on such a mountain road, how could I fall off the cliff!"

The five sisters were all dumbfounded, and the eldest sister said: "Brother, didn't you hear clearly just now, father and mother are gone, mother fell off the cliff, and father was bitten off by that ghost in order to save you, and was buried in the Back to Yunshan."

"Father, mother, are you gone?" Duan Shiqing stared wide-eyed, looking back and forth at the five disgraced elder sisters in front of him. For him, this news was really hard to accept, as if his Duan family was the richest man in the city yesterday, but now they are the richest men in the city. Downcast refugees in the wild.

It was difficult to accept because of the sudden change of status, he didn't seem to feel too much pain about the news of the death of his parents.

Duan Siyao grabbed the elder sister's hand and persuaded: "Don't tell him so much, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it for a while, he's recovering from a serious illness, he should be allowed to rest well."

The fourth girl sneered: "What can't he accept? A dozen hounds fell off the cliff?"

With the utmost sarcasm, Miss Xian'er quietly pulled her out of the tent: "Don't worry about brother, she just woke up, her mind is not very clear, she is always used to thinking about those hounds, it's not really bad Care about the life and death of parents."

The fourth girl snorted coldly: "It's none of my business that he's a wolf, what can I argue with him."

Xian'er pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Elder Sister and Fifth Sister are very fond of Brother, whether you mean it or not, don't always target him, that's not good for you."

"Don't talk about them, don't you too."

"I... It's okay. In fact, I have long seen that brother's virtue is difficult to be a big responsibility. He is just like me, obsessed with heresy, and he is not a leader at all. It's a pity that parents only have such a son, and there is no choice."

"I didn't expect the second sister to have such awareness." There was no sarcasm, she said this sincerely, people have self-knowledge, it is really surprising that the second sister can say such words.

"Don't always be like a hedgehog, rejecting everyone thousands of miles away. Parents are gone. From then on, the six of us, siblings, depend on each other for life, and there is no distinction between closeness and distance."

"Oh, really?" She raised her eyebrows, "Guess what I ran into Master Qiao two days ago, what did he ask me?"

"what?"

"Our eldest sister wanted to promise me to Lord Jin, but Second Master Qiao asked me if it was my own idea."

Xian'er was surprised: "How could it be? I haven't heard the elder sister mention it. Let's not mention that you are the fourth eldest, and the first three are not married yet. You are not in a hurry to leave the court at all. Just talking about the death of your parents, the elder sister shouldn't." With such a proposal, it seems that my daughter of the Duan family is heartless, and her father and mother are thinking of clinging to high branches just after she dies."

"Hmph, I must be in the eyes of the eldest sister, I'm not the daughter of the Duan family. My aunt gave me my carelessness, which is different from the girl from your first marriage."

Xian'er grabbed her hand: "As long as the second sister is here, others will not be able to decide on your life's major events, and relax, I will find you a good husband in the future, but don't say such things again, what are you? Concubine and humble, your contribution to the Duan family can be said to be second only to your father, no one can mention the concubine's dignity in front of you!"

The fourth girl smiled, bent down and pressed it against her ear, and whispered softly: "Second sister seems to have grown up a lot."

She rolled her eyes, and pushed the person away: "It's not big or small, but I think you're growing backwards."

Now that Duan Shiqing has woken up, the burden on Duan Youyi's shoulders has been lightened by half. He will inevitably have to wait for him to wash and change his clothes before going to visit his parents, especially Ji Zhu's family. After all, it is just to thank them for their care these few days.

But Duan Shiqing is a nonchalant person. After hearing that those slaves robbed the Duan family's gold and silver, he couldn't restrain the urge to tear his face apart, and walked out of the tent with a dog whip.

Duan Siyao couldn't persuade him, and almost knelt down to stop him: "Brother, don't be impulsive anymore, my Duan family has lost all hearts today, you killed those slaves, what will outsiders think of us?" ?”

"That's right." Duan Youyi also said, "No matter how insane they were, they saved the holy lady. Do you know how many lives have been saved by the medicinal herbs on the holy lady's waist? With such merits that cannot be shaken, turning against them will only make you lose your temper." It's getting more and more difficult for our Duan family, and speaking of it, you still have to visit the saint's injury, and I've already prepared a gift for you."

To this day, Duan Shiqing still does not change his arrogant and cold attitude: "Eldest sister, why is our Duan family so low? The fourth sister burned all the ledgers just to buy those foolish people. Ten thousand taels of silver was wasted. I don’t want to say anything, but now I’m asked to visit Zhu Mengzhen, and agree with those wolf-hearted domestic slaves, what’s the reason?”

"There's nothing wrong with agreeing with them. Taking credit from them is their punishment. Don't be confused. Punishment is worse than murder!"

After calming down and feeling better, Duan Shiqing finally agreed: "As for the gift, I'll go and see Zhu Mengzhen."

I never thought that Ji Xuanzhen was in Zhu Mengzhen's tent at this time.

Zhu Mengzhen has been particularly lethargic since he recovered from his injury, and the continuous heavy rain outside the tent made him feel drowsy.

When Ji Xuanzhen came over early in the morning, she was still asleep. The servant girl was about to wake up the person on the bed, but he stopped him. He saw that the tea leaves on the table were moldy, so he ordered her to wait on him. The maid went to fetch the milk from his tent, while he himself sat and tended the fire in the tent.

There were only the two of them in the tent.

The long-lasting flame in the stove was reflected in his black pupils, just like the lightning that night, striking the rocks of Snake King Ridge.

It was a nightmare just thinking about it, and that weird shrine, which god was it enshrining?What event was recorded?How did the penetrating wound on Zhu Mengzhen's chest heal in just a few days?

Although he wanted Zhu Mengzhen to wake up more than anyone else, it was counterintuitive after all, and he wasn't so confused yet.

All kinds of questions lingered in his mind. In order to confirm his guess, he rummaged through the medicine box. Sure enough, all the medicines that Zhu Mengzhen usually used were in it, and they were all ordinary trauma plasters, and there were no panacea blessings.

It's so strange, the woman lying on the bed seems to be an immortal body.

At this moment, Duan Shiqing broke in.

The two looked at each other, and no one looked pleasing to the other.

The fourth master said in a strange way: "Yo, Young Master Duan is awake, have you slept well these few days?"

Duan Shiqing put down the gift in his hand, looked at Zhu Mengzhen on the bed, and said with a smile: "Of course, I also want to thank the Ji family for inviting me to live in Duan's Gaotai. I have slept very peacefully these few days, but I don't know why fourth master is like this Both eyes are black and blue, and the spirit is low." While speaking, his eyes glanced across the bed, "The saint just woke up not long ago, she must have been seriously injured, fourth master should take it easy, the spring night is short, and it is a small matter to consume her energy, and it is a sin to delay her recovery But it's big."

Ji Xuanzheng sneered, and buttoned his ears, as if something dirty had entered: "I thought that Young Master Duan refused to marry the holy aunt, and there was no love for each other anymore, but I didn't expect you to know it when she was lying in bed. Visiting and expressing condolences is not a lack of etiquette, but you don’t have to be so courteous in the future, after all, it’s wrong to be alone, so don’t let people gossip.”

"Hmph, why can't I understand what fourth master said? It seems like I rushed here. After all, it's just out of courtesy. Besides, the person who lives with her now is clearly fourth master. Why is fourth master not afraid of being gossiped about!"

There was a confident smile on the corner of Ji Xuanzhen's mouth, which seemed to be deliberately annoying: "Some gossip may not be false."

What, is this an admission?

"I took the liberty and ruined Fourth Master's good deed. It seems that Fourth Master has fallen in love with Shenggu for a long time. Shengnu went to Snake King Ridge alone. I heard that Fourth Master accompanied her."

"That's right, the holy aunt is very kind to my Ji family, and thanks to her reporting to my Ji family in person when the Eastern Capital was flooded, my Ji family was able to prepare early and avoid a catastrophe. Think about it, if it is two or three days later, It is estimated that they will come up from Panyunzhai. What is the name of Panyunzhai? Yanwangzhai? It will kill people. With such a great kindness, what is it if I sacrifice my life to accompany her to the Snake King Ridge? , but we have come and gone, we are also friends in need, although Young Master Duan and her are childhood sweethearts, but in the final analysis, how can the friendship of playing together in childhood compare with this fateful friendship. "

Knowing that Duan Fayang and his wife died in Panyun Village, he intentionally poked their wounds, but after all, when the Eastern Capital was flooded, Zhu Mengzhen entrusted Fu Ruo, a maidservant, to report to Duan's mansion, and he clearly didn't keep Duan's mansion in his eyes. Duan Shiqing sneered: "It is said that the fourth master is not easy to mess with. I have seen it today, but I don't know when I will be able to drink the wedding wine with you two."

"Hurry up, after the flood recedes, I will invite the whole family of the Duan Mansion to have a banquet. After all, the slaves of the Duan Mansion saved the lives of me and the Holy Aunt this time. I will remember this kindness."

He wanted to emphasize the fact that a domestic slave, right and wrong, can be clearly calculated.

Duan Shiqing couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Fourth Master is indeed very affectionate. Duan admires it, but out of admiration, Duan has to say a few more words. Fourth Master, you know why I insisted on rejecting you. A marriage contract with a holy lady?"

As soon as the words fell, the fingertips of the person on the bed moved.

Ji Xuanzhen shook his head and said with a smile: "I dare not speculate on Young Master Duan's thoughts, but no matter what the reason is, I would like to thank Young Master Duan for letting me. After all, the threshold of the Zhu family is not lower than that of the Duan family. Those who marry a holy lady can line up from Dongdu to Chang'an."

Insinuating that Duan Shiqing is ignorant.

Duan Shiqing was also not polite: "Fourth Lord, I know you are a generous person, but no matter how you don't care about it, you should marry a wife. After all, the Ji family is also a well-known family in the Eastern Capital. If you accept the remnants of flowers and willows to enter the door, Weng will be afraid." Would you be unhappy, even if Elder Weng agrees, the people in Dongdu will flood the Ji family mansion with their saliva, so fourth master please be careful."

Ji Xuanzhen turned her face away, trying not to look at Duan Shiqing's annoying face: "I understand what Young Master Duan said, and I know exactly what happened four years ago, but I am different from Young Master Duan. What I want is her person, but what Young Master Duan wants is her body."

"Is there a difference?"

"There's a big difference." Ji Xuanzhen took a deep breath, "Put away your kindness and your cheap admiration, no one can stop what I, Ji Xuanzhen, want to do, even Dong The gossip of the people in the capital is overwhelming, and it will not be more fatal than the heavy rain in the mountains at the moment. Since I can save her life from this catastrophe, I will definitely protect her for the rest of my life in the future."

"Fourth Master is so courageous!" Duan Shiqing's words of approval were full of contempt, disgust, and incomprehensible anger. The things he threw away were picked up as treasures. He had no idea whether it was a loss or a gain. If he really wanted to pick it up again by himself, he was determined not to.

Because he is such a cold person, no matter what woman's price in his eyes is always the sum of her status and her body, he wants to be clean!

I will never understand the difference between a person and a body that Ji Xuanzhen said.

"At that time, Duan was here to wish the fourth master and the holy aunt a happy marriage for a hundred years and a full house of children and grandchildren. At that time, I will prepare rich gifts and go to the banquet."

Ji Xuanzhen didn't respond to him, but nodded slightly.

After he withdrew from the tent, Ji Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and saw the tears in the corner of Zhu Mengzhen's eyes, and asked calmly, "When did you wake up?"

Zhu Mengzhen opened his eyes, a sour feeling came over his face, he didn't know whether it was from the corner of his eyes or from his heart: "When did Fourth Master know?"

"what do you know?"

"Four years ago."

Ji Xuanzhen nodded: "You know I don't care about these things."

I don't know whether it is shame or emotion, Zhu Mengzhen burst into tears, choked up for a long time, and said: "Actually, you don't have to be angry with him, you grew up with him, I know, he has always been heartless."

"I'm not angry with him. What I said just now is serious."

Zhu Mengzhen forced himself to sit up, and when he turned his head to meet his eyes, he really did not see his past cynicism, knowing that he was never like this when he was joking.

"Why, why me?"

Obviously he is the fourth young master of the Ji family, and he is allowed to pick and choose all the good daughters in Dongducheng, why did he choose himself in the end.

And Ji Xuanzhen's answer is also his usual style, he doesn't want to explain, he doesn't want to explain, and he doesn't think it is necessary to explain: "The person I identify, there is no reason."

The maid brought the milk, and when she broke into the tent, she saw Zhu Mengzhen wiping tears: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Then she blamed Ji Xuanzhen and said, "Fourth Master, how did you offend the girl? She was not seriously injured. Hey, don't you..."

Zhu Mengzhen interrupted her: "I'm fine, Fourth Master didn't do anything."

It stands to reason that someone came over, and the topic should have ended long ago, but Ji Xuanzhen didn't seem to intend to avoid people: "I just want to know what you mean, do you agree or disagree?"

The servant girl didn't understand, so she asked, "Agree to what?"

Zhu Mengzhen nodded and burst into tears.

"Give me an accurate word." The tone was still calm, as if this scene had been rehearsed thousands of times in his mind.

The maid couldn't stand it anymore: "Fourth Master, what exactly do you want the girl to agree to? She's already like this, can you stop forcing her?"

Zhu Mengzhen raised his head, tried to calm down the turbulent mood, and finally nodded with difficulty.

Only then did Ji Xuanzhen regain his smile, as if it was not cloudy and heavy rain outside the tent, but warm sunshine in spring, his world suddenly became clear.

Suddenly, he got up and said with a smile: "What kind of rules should be, what kind of rules should be. I will send the dowry to Mr. Zhu as soon as possible. I don't need to mention the past, but only after you can get out of bed." , just follow me to see my parents." After saying that, Ji Xuanzhen walked out of the tent proudly.

The maid was stunned, dowry?parents?

"Girl, are you...?"

Zhu Mengzhen nodded: "It's settled."

But she still had doubts in her heart. The only people who knew what she did four years ago were Duan Shiqing and Ji Luoyu. Ji Luoyu was dead, and Duan Shiqing never told anyone else. So how did fourth master know?

After thinking about it, he could only investigate it himself. If he really didn't care about the past, why did he send someone to investigate?

Ji Xuanzhen has indeed known the old events back then, not only that, he also found out Xiaosi's life experience, knew that Xiaosi was her child, and also knew who Xiaosi's father was, the reason why he didn't tell Duan Shiqing the truth, One is that Duan Shiqing is not worthy to know, and the other is that he is afraid that if he finds out, he will change his mind and resume his engagement with Zhu Mengzhen, what should I do?

After all, when Zhu Mengzhen was willing to give him a child, he didn't have any affection or affection in his heart.

He wanted to marry Zhu Mengzhen sincerely.

But among all the things the man in black came back to report to him, these were not the focus of his attention. He heard from them that there was a little nun in the Mengjue Temple on the mountain who looked exactly like Yu'er, and she admitted it herself.

The conversation between Feng Bai and Ji Luoyu was relayed to his ears verbatim, so he didn't believe that the man was a ghost, so he went up the mountain in the heavy rain last night.

As a result, some interesting things were indeed discovered.
