The Buddha Temple is not pure

Pushing open the back door of the temple, the lonely road leads directly to the Lingquan.

Where the Lingquan is located, there has never been such a cold winter in thousands of years.

The snow fell layer by layer, and the bluestone piled up gradually along the edge, and only the central square inch could be seen to have formed solid rock ice.

At this time, all the flowers and fruits are only withered vines, deep and shallow, black, white and white.

Fortunately, she had seen the scenery here, otherwise, what a pity.

"Sister Immortal?" Xiao Si poked her head over, holding minced meat soup in her hand.

"Seeing that you haven't had a meal, I specially made a bowl of soup. Sister, eat it while it's hot."

She took it casually, smelled it, it was delicious and steaming, and there were some scallions sprinkled on it, which was the greatest comfort in this winter.

"Sister, don't be sad, these flowers and fruits will grow again next spring."

She glanced at Xiaosi, this child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, she smiled and said: "Miss you Yueyue Niang?"

Xiao Si was stunned, blinking her eyes and said: "I think, why doesn't Yueyue Niang come back to see me?"

"She's busy, why don't we go and see her."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Si was so happy that she was about to jump up.

"Where is Yueyue Niang?"

"She is far, far away, where there is only night and no day, so my sister will give you a lamp, and you will keep this lamp for my sister, and you may have to keep it for a long, long time."

Xiao Si snuggled up on her sleeve: "I will agree to whatever my sister says, as long as it allows me to see Yueyue Niang."

This is probably the scariest night road that Xiaosi has ever traveled.

Even if I had a nightmare at night, I never dreamed of such a scene.

Those howling ghosts and wolves seemed to be right next to his ears, whispering words he couldn't understand, sometimes putting ghostly hands on his shoulders, and sometimes blocking his way, some with green faces and fangs, some with claws and teeth, even the facial makeup in the play I dare not draw like this.

He was trembling with fear, until he took the glazed lotus lantern from Xue Suilan's hand, there was a clean road in front of him.

Where the light shines, the evil spirits recede and all evils disappear, but the bloody sky is still covered with thick dark clouds, the cold river is still bottomless, and the smell of corpses makes him dizzy.

"Sister, why is Yueyueniang in this kind of place? Why didn't she become a Buddha with the senior brother? Why didn't the senior brother take her away? I heard from the second senior brother that Yueyueniang was the writer of the Eastern Capital City before, so Why did the prominent status become like this?"

Xue Suilan smiled bitterly: "Some people become Buddhas in this world, and some people go to hell." She stroked Xiao Si Guangguang's head, and confessed, "Don't shake your hands, hold the lantern and go forward."

Xiaosi choked with sobs, wiped her nose with her sleeve, mustered up the courage to let go of the skeleton at her feet, and moved forward step by step.

Until he saw the figure by the river, his clothes were ragged, his body was filthy, whether it was mud or blood.

But it can be seen from the figure that this is Yueyue Niang, yes, it is her.

"Yueyue Niang?" He called tentatively, clear and clear.

Yue Weiyang held the white bones in the river with her blue hands, hunched her back and turned her head slowly, seeing this little monk amidst the splendor of color, a look of joy filled the corners of her eyes, but after a while, joy turned into worry, and her smile gradually froze.

She rushed to the shore with all her strength, leaned over and took Xiaosi's hand, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I miss Yueyue Niang so much, I have to dream about it several times a night, so I came here." After saying that, he put down the lantern, and wrapped his arms around Yue Weiyang's neck.

"Why are you in this kind of place? Let Xiaosi find it easier."

Yue Weiyang pushed him away, and said: "I am dirty, you stand far away."

Xiaosi couldn't bear it any longer, she cried out, tugging at her sleeves, "Not dirty, not dirty, Yueyueniang is the cleanest."

He didn't know why, but he was wronged and wanted to cry. Back then, Yueyue Niang loved such a clean person, so lonely and cold, how could she be like this?

Yue Weiyang originally wanted to ask who brought him to Luotianyan, but seeing the lantern in his hand, she knew it without asking, it was just nonsense.

Xiao Si discovered the injury on her ankle, wiped away her tears and asked tremblingly, "Do you hurt?"

"It's scabbed over, it doesn't hurt."

"You're a liar, the wound is clearly still bleeding, who tied the chain for you? Tell me, I'll go find him and untie it for you."

Yue Weiyang smiled, and helped him wipe away his tears: "You let him untie it and he untie it? How much face does our Xiao Si have? You can do it if you have this kind of thought, what can I really expect from you."

"Yue Yueniang, don't coax me anymore. I am no longer a four or five-year-old child. If he doesn't understand, I will kneel down and beg him and bribe him until he is willing to untie it."

"Bribe?" Yue Weiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What kind of bribe did you take?"

With a firm gaze, Xiaosi untied the small bundle on her back, spread it out in front of Yue Weiyang, and put a few mooncakes inside: "This is a mooncake made by myself, filled with red bean paste, although it is not as delicious as Yueyueniang's. But it looks good, originally I brought it for you to eat, but since that's the case, I had no choice but to give it to him and let him let Yueyueniang go."

Yue Weiyang laughed so hard that tears came out, looking at those grotesque little mooncakes, she was both moved and bitter.

How could it be better than what she did, they were all about the same.

"It's still my own food. Anyway, Xiaosi made it by herself, so I can't make it cheaper for others." After she finished speaking, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

The taste... I can't say whether it tastes good or not. I almost broke my teeth after taking this bite, it was as hard as a rock.

Yue Weiyang covered her face, her smile was slightly awkward, she was about to speak, but she heard Xue Suilan's voice behind her.

"I don't even look at when the mooncakes were made. They can still be eaten after being preserved. One dares to give it, and the other really dares to put it in his mouth."

She turned her head, and under the fog barrier, Xue Suilan, dressed in red, came in steps, her face was full of spring breeze, her makeup was beautiful, as decent as she wanted, but no matter how you looked at her, her youthful and snowy appearance was so similar to the desolate and desolate Luotianyan. out of place.

"You shouldn't come back, let alone bring him here. You know exactly where this place is. He's just a child. How can you bear it?"

Xue Suilan sat on the ground, frowning a little irritably, and retorted: "You always think that you can't stand this, you can't stand that, there are some things that he should have in his life, and he has to bear it if he can't stand it! It's your turn to cover up and weigh it all the time." , make up your own mind, the last sentence is just for his own good, right?"

Yue Weiyang sighed, knowing that her lingering anger since she left last time was still there, so she didn't bother with her, she just mentioned: "My place is full of rotting corpses, full of smog, and there is no place to welcome guests. Also come less."

Seeing that her red plum blossom cloak was accidentally put on her feet, Yue Weiyang unconsciously took a step back, and said casually: "It's rare to see you wearing such a bright color."

The half step she quietly moved back completely annoyed Xue Suilan: "Didn't you say that I can stand up to this color, and now it feels bright again?"

"I didn't mean that, I mean...it's pretty good." She didn't know how to explain it, and she didn't know what Xue Suilan was annoyed about.

Xue Suilan was annoyed at her cautiousness, how could a person who was so lonely and noble back then become so cowardly now, and took half a step back for fear of soiling her cloak.

I remember that it was not like this in Woluan Pond at that time, Yue Weiyang picked her up from the street, knowing that she was dirty, she still dragged her into Woluan Pond.

"Could it be that you also disliked me at that time? That's why you thought I would dislike you? If that's the case, why bother to undress me, it's so embarrassing."

"What are you talking about? No, I've never thought of..."

"Then why are you standing so far away?"

Yue Weiyang took a visual inspection, the distance between the two was only two or three steps, not too far away.

Without waiting for her response, Xue Suilan patted the blue stone under her body: "Sit down."

"..."

The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Yue Yue Niang, you can eat another piece." Xiao Si handed over the moon cake, but was stopped by Xue Sui Lan.

"Your Yueyue Niang has bad teeth, eat it yourself." He threw his little bag aside, "Go, squat over there to eat, I have something important to discuss with your Yueyue Niang."

Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, and obediently carried the moon cakes and passed by.

As soon as he turned his head, Yue Weiyang grabbed her wrist, and asked: "The Fallen Sky Weir is guarded by three thousand guards, how did you get here?"

"You don't know my methods, why do you need to ask?" She straightened her sleeves, tucking and tugging, "People block and kill people, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, that's all."

"You won't, you're not that kind of person."

Xue Suilan sneered: "What kind of person? If you are so conceited that you know me well, you will be so disappointed. When you had the ink pen in your hand, you still couldn't kill decisively. You left a pile of troubles and asked me to clean them up."

"What did you do?" Yue Weiyang frowned.

"You should ask me what I'm going to do. You know how deep the water is in Dongdu, but you don't know how muddy the water is."

Yue Weiyang didn't hide her nervous expression, took her hand and said: "If you want to do something, I won't stop you, but you don't have to stir up chaos. If I guess right, my vermilion pen should be taken by Tianji Palace." Accept it, you just want to come back, even if Zhu Mengzhen has a vermilion pen in hand, the number of lives she can change is limited, if she loses to my vermilion pen, it will be useful, no matter how bad it is, you can ask Shi Fangxu for help, don’t test yourself, Don't forget, in the chaotic fate of Dongdu, there is also yours."

"That's why I had to go back." She took out a vermilion pen from her sleeve, and the words "Yue Weiyang" seemed to be engraved on it, "I have already taken this thing back from Shi Fangxu, but I don't usually use it."

Yue Weiyang had a bad premonition: "Since you can't use it, why did you take it back?"

She talked about him from left to right, then put the vermilion pen back into her sleeve: "I came to you to ask you for a prescription."

What the hell is she talking about?Yue Weiyang had no choice but to follow her wishes and chat: "What prescription?"

"Ecstasy incense."

"Ecstasy incense is not a rare thing, just ask around and you will know how to make it, why bother to ask me?"

"No, no, what I want is the kind of ecstasy incense that can change memories. I know you can."

Seeing her playful expression, Yue Weiyang knew that she probably couldn't explain, and she didn't ask any more questions. She just picked up a pen and wrote down the prescription with difficulty on the paper. It's always like this, as long as Xue Sui Lan opened her mouth, never dissatisfied, even though she knew she was messing around, she had no choice but to let it go.

But Yue Weiyang's hands were already blue and chapped from the cold, and the handwriting written was also blurred. Xue Suilan raised her eyebrows and asked lightly: "Do you want to go back?"

There was a slight pause in the movements of her subordinates, but she still didn't raise her head, she just said calmly: "You know how deep the relationship between me and Tianji Palace is, you shouldn't ask me this question."

"If Tianji Palace is willing to give up, will you go back?"

She chuckled: "I'm not stupid, if Tianji Palace doesn't pursue it, of course I'm willing to go back."

"it is good."

This good word seems to have made a lot of determination.

Yue Weiyang was puzzled, when she raised her eyebrows to stare, she had already removed the prescription, folded it properly and stuffed it back into her sleeve: "It's a deal, don't go back on your word."

"What do you mean?"

Xue Suilan got up, walked over and took Xiao Si's hand and said, "It's time to go."

Xiaosi reluctantly said: "I still have a lot to say to Yueyueniang, I won't leave."

"If you are disobedient, I won't bring you here next time."

Xiaosi felt wronged, and pouted her mouth: "No, I'll just be obedient, and bring me here next time."

"Next time, maybe your Yueyue Niang will go back."

"Ah? Really!" Xiao Si was elated, but Yue Weiyang couldn't figure it out.

"Did you see it? Many people are looking forward to your return. The spirit spring has lost its spirit veins, and the flowers and fruits are all rotten in the mud. The winter in Mengjue Temple is too cold, and Sao Yuxuan is not at all angry. You worked so hard to manage it." Xanadu is now a desert, I am too lazy to take care of it, you should go back and tidy it up yourself."

Yue Weiyang frowned, and wanted to ask another question, but Xue Suilan took Xiao Si's hand and left without looking back, as if she had made enough preparations to meet again.

Confused by the cloud and fog, she turned around and picked up the stone mooncakes left by Xiaosi, then dragged the heavy chains and went back to Yinhe to pick the bones.

But when the cold water covered her ankles, the stimulation that came again after getting rid of the numb pain made her wake up instantly.

Zhu Bi, since she can't use Zhu Bi, why does she have to go back?

I think there is only one use for it:

Duan Shiqing's reincarnation mole!

She woke up suddenly, and when she looked back, there was no one in the miasma and haze, and it was useless to chase her out.

Xue Suilan took the prescription, went back and threw it directly to Lord Yawang.

Lord Yawang didn't understand, so when he opened it, he had to complain: "It looks like a ghost drawing talisman, what is it?"

"Fang Zi." She sat on the dining hall and eagerly took a sip of tea, "It is useful for me to prepare it according to the above."

"Who is it for, Pei Mengqiang or Xu Nu?"

She tapped the water stains around her mouth, and said, "Does Xu Nu still need it? People with bad intentions can give advice with a few words, and they don't need this thing."

"That's for Pei Mengqiang. Although I don't know what your idea is, since you want to do it, I will definitely help you."

She lightly tapped the edge of the table with her fingertips, and said in a voice that seemed to be calculating in her heart, "How long will you help me?"

It was a strange question, Mr. Yawang was about to go out with the prescription, but he turned his head in shock and dared not answer.

The [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day.

The Ji family invited several gentlemen to calculate it, and it took a lot of effort. As early as the first three days, the major families in the Eastern Capital have received the big red wedding invitations from the Ji family one after another. The inscribed words in gold make people feel warm .

The marriage of Ji Yuanjin and Pei Mengqiang has become a major event in the Eastern Capital, and it has also become a topic of conversation after dinner. Some people say that a golden and jade marriage is a match made in heaven, while others say that a family marriage is not consensual.

Sour sour, envious of envy.

"Have you heard that the Duan family also received a wedding invitation?"

"That's not surprising. After all, the two families are family friends. Even if there was any unhappiness before, you should worry about the face of the two families."

"But you don't know, the wedding invitation was not sent to the aunt of the Duan family, nor to the daughter of Duan's parents, but to the fourth girl."

"Duan Henxi, the fourth girl who sits in the Duan Family Jishi Hall?"

"That's right, Duan Hexi is not the eldest and not the first wife. What's the point of this? I heard that the eldest girl has already spoken. She won't go on the day of her wedding. Just pretend that she has never seen the wedding invitation."

"In this way, the Ji family is indeed suspected of alienation."

"I think too much. Master Jin's marriage is planned by Master Qiao. It is said that the wedding invitation did not enter the door of Duan's house. It was given to the fourth girl in Jishitang. He personally delivered it. , The two stood together and talked for a while."

"Speaking of this, it is also reasonable. After all, for their own business, these two have dealt with each other a lot, but they are not afraid of people talking about gossip."

"Who dares to gossip about these two masters, he must be full."

There was a snicker all around.

"In my opinion, the Ji family might as well go to the Duan family to propose a marriage, first to finalize the marriage of the second master Qiao, and then consider the fourth master Xing. There must be a seniority."

"That's right, no matter how powerful Fourth Master Xing is, his ranking will always be at the bottom."

"But you can't say that. It's good that fourth master Xing is the youngest of the Ji family, but he married a holy lady. What a prestige it must be!"

"I also don't understand why she is willing to commit herself to marrying with her status as a holy lady. I'm afraid it must be placed in the temple as an offering."

"What are you talking about getting married? From my point of view, among the thousands of men in Dongdu, there is no one who can pick out a hero like Fourth Master Xing. The holy aunt understands in her heart that it's your turn to be here for her. It's not worth it."

"Don't even talk about it, these two are life-threatening friends. When they came down from the Snake King Ridge, they almost couldn't be saved. It's not like we share weal and woe if you escape from death. Don't say who is superior, and don't say who is not worthy. It is indeed a good story, I heard that someone has already written it in the playbook, and I am afraid it will not be sung on stage in the future."

"Really?"

"No."

……

Xue Suilan sat in the teahouse, and after hearing so many ears, it was all a joke to her.

"Believe it or not, after tomorrow, the wind direction in Dongdu will change? This marriage is no longer the topic of discussion among the people."

"What's that?" Lord Yawang wolfed down the whole elbow and asked in a whimper.

She smiled: "Fox Fairy."

Lord Yawang rolled his eyes, hiccupped because of choking, and said: "It's boring, it's better to work hard on your fourth brother after all these twists and turns. It is her life and death calamity, calculated by Yangyang, which is better than your method."

"She is indeed clever, but... I don't want Zhu Mengzhen to die at the hands of my fourth brother."

"Why? Hiccup~" Yawang Jun's mouth was full of oil, but his expression was extremely serious.

"In that case, the rest of his life will be too difficult for him."
