rebirth [rebirth]

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze followed Qinghui all the way to the pavilion, where a young Taoist named Xuanyin was lighting incense and playing the piano.

His piano sound is very ethereal, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally after listening to it, and the gloom in their hearts is taken away invisibly, making people feel lighter.

After his song was over, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze clasped their fists and saluted him: "Master Xuanyin has superb piano skills, and I benefited a lot from listening to it."

Xuanyin smiled slightly.

A burst of lotus fragrance blew past him, and his whole body seemed like a lotus flower about to bloom, with an air of immortality.

"Your Majesty, sit down."

When he opened his mouth, Rong Jingxuan and the two were stunned.

Qinghui swiftly brought over two lotus piers, and helped them to sit down firmly.

Seeing that they seemed to be startled by her own words, Xuanyin couldn't help but smiled again: "Your Majesty, don't be alarmed, Xuanyin grew up in Xuantian Temple since childhood, and practiced the art of watching the sky. As expected."

Da Chu has both Buddhism and Taoism, and most of the people have beliefs, and the Rong family, as a royal family of a country, did not advocate either one alone, but both, treating the masters equally and being courteous.

In Yong'an, there is not only Huangjue Temple, a royal temple, but also Qingyang Temple, a Taoist temple. It happens on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. Buddhism calls it the Yulan Basin Festival, while Taoism calls it Zhongyuan Festival. Taoist temples on both sides have enshrinements.

In Taoist teachings, most of them practice Quanzhen, that is, they practice tranquility and inaction, eliminate emotions and desires, cultivate mind and nature, and cultivate qi and refine alchemy.The Royal Qingyang Temple is the complete truth of cultivation.

However, this view of Xuantian seems to be another kind of cultivation.

Rong Jingxuan is not good at Taoism, so he can only understand a little or two of the art of observing the sky from the words.

On the contrary, Xie Mingze read a lot of books and asked: "Master cultivates the sky, cultivates past and present lives, observes the direction of the sky, the stars, the sun and the moon."

Xuanyin smiled again, put her hands away from the qin, and nodded to signal Qinghui to take the qin and leave.

When there were only three people left in the pavilion, Xuanyin spoke again: "Your Majesty, I'm telling you the truth. On March [-]th, Pindao was watching the stars at the peak. On that day, the sky changed suddenly, and the emperor's stars moved."

Rong Jingxuan frowned.

March [-]th was the day when he married Xie Mingze, escaped from Changxin, and it was also the day when he was reborn.

Xuanyin continued: "Your Majesty... To be honest, Da Chu is exhausted and should have been destroyed."

Although the words were not so pleasant, Rong Jingxuan knew in his heart that what he said was indeed not wrong.

He and Xie Mingze are still alive at this moment, which is indeed an odd number.

"Your Majesty, although Xuanyin is only [-] years old, she has practiced the art of watching the sky for [-] years. She has never misread the sky since she was a child." Xuanyin said indifferently.

He looked very young indeed, and he had an immortal demeanor, he looked like a teenager in his teens, but what he said was quite domineering, and he seemed very determined.

Seeing his young and mature appearance, Xie Mingze couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Master Xie admires his superb Taoism."

Xuanyin was not humble after hearing this, and nodded at him directly: "Your Majesty's absurd praise."

Xie Mingze: "No, the master is indeed very powerful."

Xuanyin: "Be polite."

Rong Jingxuan: "..."

I don't know why, but I always feel that this master is a bit unreliable.

Rong Jingxuan cleared his throat and asked, "May I ask Master, how is Da Chu's strength?"

Xuanyin didn't answer right away, he lifted the auspicious cloud lotus mountain cover of Boshan furnace, and poked the incense inside with a long needle.

A faint fragrance of green lotus radiates out, and the smell makes people feel at ease, and all the troubles in the heart are empty, and the past and the past are all forgotten.

"Your Majesty," Xuanyin said lightly, her voice was like a spring breeze supporting a willow, "Da Chu's energy is all about two people, and it depends on how the future will go."

It's interesting to say this.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze looked at each other, and they both felt that they could be resurrected from the dead, which was the basis for their vitality.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Xuanyin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked: "I wonder if there is a idler around you who can read the sky and feng shui?"

Rong Jingxuan was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Master, is he willing to enter the world?"

Before Xuanyin said so much, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze only thought that he probably saw some clues and wanted to remind them that this master does not seem to be a bad person. On the contrary, both his appearance and demeanor are very convincing .

But they really never thought that he would follow them all the way to restore the country.

Don't most Taoist priests practice in Taoist temples on the mountain?Many masters never entered the world in their entire lives.

When Xuanyin said this, it seemed strange.

He listened to Rong Jingxuan's question, lowered his head and touched his nose, and suddenly blushed slightly: "Master said that the poor are born with Taoism, but they are too young, and they have to enter the world for a while before they can break through the world and finally become Taoist." .”

He is honest, he believes what the master says.This time they finally waited for the two of them to come, impatient to show off their skills, and wanted them to ask him to come down the mountain.

In the end, he showed too much, and Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze didn't think about it at all, but were surprised by his thoughts.

Thinking of this, Xuanyin couldn't help but feel a little downcast.

People in the secular world really have complicated minds, it's hard to guess, it's hard to say.

His innocent appearance made the "worldly man" in his heart feel very funny. Xie Mingze couldn't help comforting him: "Master is willing to accompany us all the way. We are grateful in our hearts, but we are afraid that the road ahead will be bumpy and full of hardships. I also wish Master Haihan."

Before Xuanyin could speak, Qinghui, who had been hiding outside and eavesdropping, suddenly jumped out, holding a folding fan and laughingly said: "My master is not afraid of suffering, as long as he can eat enough!"

"Damn boy, come back to me." Qinghui ran away after finishing speaking, Xuanyin jumped up angrily, and shouted while chasing him.

With his appearance, Xie Mingze burst out laughing out loud just now.

Rong Jingxuan helped him to support the lotus pier, and said with a light smile: "The master has a pure heart, the spiritual platform is clear and bright, and he is not ordinary, but he is really born with integrity."

The two of them were not in a hurry, and after a while Xuanyin grabbed Qinghui back with a stiff face, and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesties, why not have dinner in the temple tonight. My junior brother is very good at cooking, Make sure you want to eat after eating."

Speaking of food, Xuanyin's indifferent black eyes sparkled, which fully confirmed his apprentice's saying "as long as you can eat enough".

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze did not respond, but stood up and said: "The soldiers are still waiting in the forest, I can't stay long, master, we will leave for Hongdu tomorrow morning, you...?"

Xuanyin seemed to know when they were going to leave, so she said, "It's okay, I will meet you tomorrow."

Rong Jingxuan cupped his hands at him, and the two of them left the Taoist temple directly.

Outside, Zhong Qi and Ding Kai had arranged for soldiers to set up camp and started cooking dinner.

Rong Jingxuan is not a person who will treat his subordinates harshly, he must do his best within the scope of his ability, even though he is sleeping in the mountains and forests at the moment, he has already prepared enough for this dinner.

After a while, the strong smell of broth wafted through the forest, and each soldier ate a palm-sized tortilla with the broth.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze sat in front of their two tents, eating the same food.

"This firefighter's craftsmanship is good, and it also brings carrots and potatoes, which tastes quite good." Rong Jingxuan poured down a bowl of broth, sweating immediately.

Even though it was summer, the mountains and forests at night were also very cold. This bowl of broth was added with pepper and chili peppers. After eating it, the whole body was warmed up, and at least it would not make the soldiers suffer from frostbite.

The soldiers quickly finished their meal, cleaned up and rested one after another.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze didn't feel sleepy, they lay in the tent and talked softly.

"Hongdu hid Uncle Shen's [-] old troops, all elite soldiers of the palace. After Hongdu fell, they concealed their names and hid in the wood factory in the western suburbs."

Hongdu is famous for its red camphor wood, which is not prone to insects and has beautiful patterns, making it a good material for furniture.In the western suburbs of Hongdu, there are almost all kinds of large and small wood factories, specializing in wood processing business.

Xie Mingze saw him talking eloquently, his language was very firm, and he couldn't help asking in doubt: "How do you know?"

Rong Jingxuan was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The first time...you stood for me on the wedding day... Later I also escaped from Yong'an and came to Hongdu to raise troops."

Xie Mingze nodded and asked, "Then how did you come back to life? Was the first restoration of the country successful?"

Rong Jingxuan didn't want him to know that he had died twice, so he put his arms around his neck, pulled him towards her and kissed him.

"Those are not important, Ze, what is important is that we are still alive, and the road to national restoration can continue."

Xie Mingze was very clear about Rong Jingxuan's heart, and it was precisely because of this that he dared not tell him what happened to him after his death.

That would make Xie Mingze restless and heartbroken.

Xie Mingze couldn't remember anything when he kissed him. When the kiss ended, he just gasped and said, "This is outside."

Rong Jingxuan reached out and touched his soft and moist lips, and smiled in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? You are my queen, and it is only right for us to be together."

Xie Mingze has never rejected the title of queen.

When Rong Jingxuan said this, he also smiled and did not refute.

They had a big marriage and went to the ancestral hall, so they were originally a couple.To them, their names are nothing but the best witnesses to declare their relationship to the world.

Rong Jingxuan is the well-deserved king of Da Chu, he is a born emperor, then Xie Mingze can only be a queen.

Although Da Chu has not had a man as a queen in the past 200 years, the queen is just the highest title for the emperor's partner. What difference does it make if it is a man or a woman?

Xie Mingze thinks very openly, and won't worry too much about these unworthy things.

Rong Jingxuan saw that his face was taken for granted, so he couldn't help smiling, and kissed him on the cheek: "Let's go out with me."

Xie Mingze then put on his outer robe and walked out of the tent with him.

Not far away, a small group of people was keeping watch.

When they saw the two young generals coming out of the tent, they immediately wanted to come over to ask, Rong Jingxuan waved at them and said, "Just walk around, don't need to follow."

He said, without waiting for the soldiers to get entangled, he directly dragged Xie Mingze back to the steps of Xuantian Pavilion.

Rong Jingxuan turned his back to Xie Mingze and said to him, "Come on, I'll carry you."

Xie Mingze was stunned, and patted him on the back with a smile: "What are you going to do if you don't sleep at night?"

Rong Jingxuan didn't move, and said stubbornly, "I just want to carry you up the steps, come up quickly."

Xie Mingze was a little helpless. From childhood to adulthood, no one can change what he has decided.

"You, you're not afraid of being tired." He said in a low voice, leaning on Rong Jingxuan's back.

Rong Jingxuan carried him steadily on his back, and climbed up step by step.

Under the silver moonlight, in front of 99 and the steps, two overlapping figures climb up the steps.

Rong Jingxuan's expression was very solemn, he did not speak, but prayed silently in his heart.

I hope that God will bless the two of them for a long time, with white hair and eyebrows, and never suffer from the pain of parting, and never be separated forever.

One comb to the end, two combs with white hair to match the eyebrows, three combs with children and grandchildren all over the floor... ten combs, the husband and wife are old and gray.

This time, Rong Jingxuan sang the song completely, and slowly climbed up the 99 steps, finally reaching the end.

A hair-combing song, sings about the fate of the marriage, a good marriage for a hundred years.
