General Essence Sticky Essence

After walking for about half an hour, He Yun and Chen Xiu saw the gate of Jialan Temple.The temple was still full of incense as it was when He Yun came last time, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going.

It's amazing. I haven't entered this place yet, but I feel that my heart has calmed down.

He Yun stood in front of the temple gate for a moment, wondering if he forgot to do something since he came here last time.

Chen Xiu looked at him and said, "Ah Yun?"

He Yun came back to his senses and hurriedly said that it was all right, and walked in with Chen Xiu.

There is still a monk standing in front of the main hall, wearing plain monk robes, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist, smiling at the people coming in and out.Seeing He Yun, he nodded slightly, actually greeting He Yun.

He Yun let out a sigh and remembered.The last time I came here, I promised that I would definitely come to visit another day, but I forgot about it, and I didn't recognize this master just now, what a disrespect!

Faux pas?He Yun tilted his head and thought about it again, feeling like laughing.Jialan Temple is really a magical place, and He Mingxian actually knows how to write the word faux pas.

He Yun quickly returned the salute, first went to Chen Xiu's room with the little monk who came to receive him, and put away all the things that were not many. He drove him back, saying that if he didn't leave, it would be dark when he returned to the city.

He Yun didn't think it mattered, a dignified seven-foot man was also a seven-foot man with strong fighting ability, walking at night was no problem for him.But he had to meet the monk first. For some reason, he always felt that it might be good to talk to the monk.

So he said a few more words to Chen Xiu, told He Lian and Feng Yi to go back by themselves for a while, and then walked out.

"The benefactor looks good today, much better than last time." Seeing He Yun walking over, the monk said with a smile.

He Yun also smiled: "Master sees so many pilgrims every day, yet he still remembers me?"

"I don't need to do anything every day, just stand here and look at the people who come and go, so I will remember it naturally."

He Yun said: "Master said last time, you want to chat with me?"

The monk nodded: "There is a stone table in the backyard, the benefactor may as well follow me to sit there."

He Yun followed.There was a set of tea sets on the stone table, the monk brewed a cup of tea for He Yun, pushed it in front of him, and said, "The almsgiver has a taste."

He Yun has only drank water and wine since he was a child, and he never tastes tea. When he thinks of holding a cup of tea and blowing and drinking it, he feels like a little old man, so boring.But sitting face to face with a monk in a temple was something he never thought he would do.

Haven't done it yet?He Yun chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A bitter taste spread from his mouth in an instant, He Yun endured it, and then tensed his expression.

The monk smiled and said, "How does it taste?"

He Yun swallowed his saliva: "It's bitter, it's probably the first time I drink tea, and even good tea spoils me."

The monk looked at him and said, "This tea is inherently bitter."

He Yun blinked.The monk smiled, and then asked, "Do you want to have another drink?"

The bitter taste just now still lingers in my mouth, really... There is nothing worse in the world than this.But He Yun still stretched out his hand, always thinking that taking another sip might give him a different taste.

The monk took the cup first.

"Is the donor in a good mood these few days?" He suddenly changed the subject.

He Yun was stunned for a moment, how in the mood?So be it, neither good nor bad. ...No, it's still not good enough.Nothing to be happy about.

"Not very good, but better than before."

"Why?"

He Yun said honestly: "Master should have heard that my elder brother ... passed away not long ago. This is not a good reason. It is better because I helped my elder brother grow up, and the big piece of my heart has been horizontal The stone seems to be gone."

"Has the benefactor ever thought about why it's still not good now that the worrying thing is over?"

He Yun was silent for a while, and then said: "Probably because, the great revenge has been avenged, and the deceased relatives will not be able to come back."

The monk nodded slowly, and said, "What else?"

and also?

"Master, please advise."

"Benefactor, it's here." The monk pointed to the position of He Yun's heart: "I can't let it go."

He Yun didn't speak, and the monk continued: "The benefactor thinks that the stone should be removed, but he didn't. Because the benefactor cares about other people, there are many things."

He Yun thought for a while and said, "Isn't this bad?"

"Naturally it is good. It is a happy thing for people to have care. Donors only need to think about it. The lives of the people you care about are all heading towards tomorrow."

He Yun nodded.

"Then why did the benefactor keep himself in yesterday?"

He Yun opened his mouth, but was speechless.

The monk smiled again: "Madam has been here for five consecutive days a while ago, the benefactor must know."

Of course He Yun knew.

"It's not just praying for the younger brothers, there is another reason. It takes exactly five days to help others."

He Yun was a little surprised: "Exceed?"

"Well, the master abbot personally rescued General He, and General He must have reached the ultimate bliss now."

"Having ascended to bliss, does it mean that you have gone to enjoy the blessings?"

"If you believe in Buddhism in your heart, you can understand it this way."

"Then my sister-in-law believes it?"

The monk said: "Madam is willing to believe."

He Yun hurriedly said: "Then I believe it too! My elder brother has been busy all his life, so he should enjoy the blessing."

After saying this, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he hadn't felt such a relaxed feeling in a long time.It seems that if you give yourself a vague belief, you can really let go of a lot.No wonder so many people are willing to come here to pray. It seems that after burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, they can happily think that the Buddha heard my wish anyway. If he is free, he will definitely consider helping me realize it. of.

Tomorrow?

It seems that it is really time to go tomorrow.

He Yun was a little excited, this trip today was really not in vain!

The monk looked at He Yun's expression and asked with a smile, "Can the benefactor still drink this tea?"

He Yun waved his hand, and said cheerfully: "Don't drink it! It's a bitter thing, and it won't be sweet if you drink it again."

"Then after the benefactor, will you come again?"

"It's for sure to come and see my sister-in-law, but," He Yun said with a smile, "there is no need to talk to the master, and the master may have noticed that I am not a person who talks quietly. From now on... never again! Excuse me, Master!"

The monk shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's getting late, if the benefactor doesn't go down the mountain, he will have to walk at night."

He Yun stood up, bid farewell to the monks, ran to the merit box in the main hall, stuffed several silver tickets, and walked briskly down the mountain.

He was a little excited now, and suddenly wanted to see Brother Zichen and Lan Tian.

Lele alone is not as good as all Lele!

When trotting all the way down the mountain, He Yun still had a smile on his face.It was just after dusk at this time, and it was dark late in summer, so it was only a little dark at this moment.He suddenly saw a horse standing on the only road at the foot of the mountain, and looking back, Xie Xuan was still wearing dark green clothes, with his hair tied neatly on top of his head, looking at him.

He Yun stepped over in two or three steps, and said, "Brother Zichen!"

A trace of surprise appeared on Xie Xuan's face, he looked at him for a moment before saying, "So happy?"

He Yun still had a big smile on his face: "Yes! I'm in a good mood now!"

Xie Xuan probably was also very happy, and reached out to grab He Yun's hair.He Yun didn't pay attention to combing his hair at all, at most he would put his hands together twice, his hair was always loose and loose, this time it was directly grabbed by Xie Xuan, and he didn't care: "Brother Zichen, you Why are you here?"

Only then did Xie Xuan withdraw his hand, took out a letter from his pocket, and said, "I have something to say, which may spoil your good mood."

"When did He Lantian become so courageous!"

Holding the letter in his hand, He Yun shook it vigorously, stretched it from the side of Xie Xuan's neck and put it in front of him: "Brother Zichen, look! Is this still my little white cloud!"

Xie Xuan held the horse rope with one hand, and pulled out the other hand to flip the letter aside: "I'm riding a horse, don't make trouble."

"I'm so anxious! He will run away from home! Didn't everyone agree to let him go out? Why do you write a letter and run away! It's just him and Xiao Feng, where are they going! Look! If I catch them, how will I deal with them! It’s against the sky! Brother Zichen, this is a bad thing! I’m afraid Lan Tian has entered the rebellious period! It’s over, it’s over, I can’t control it anymore! What about clothes? Food What? The two of them can’t bring much, so what if they are starving and freezing outside! Aren’t they short-hearted!”

Xie Xuan felt that the ear was exploding, and he slapped He Yun's leg back: "You are the one who is careless, won't Lan Tian bring money to buy it?"

"There is always a time when the money is gone! He has so much money on him, what will he do if he is robbed!"

Xie Xuan sighed: "Don't worry, the gate guards have been notified, Lan Tian can't leave the city."

"That's fine, then... hey?" He Yun seemed to have thought of something, and patted Xie Xuan vigorously: "Brother Zichen, brother Zichen! Stop!"

Xie Xuan was puzzled, but he still pulled the rope, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I came here with Lan Tian."

"Then what?"

"My sister-in-law coughed a few times, so I asked them both to buy medicine, and I sent my sister-in-law up the mountain first. If Lan Tian went to deliver the medicine later, he wouldn't go down the mountain earlier than me! Good boy! Go back quickly!"

He Yun was right, after He Lian and Feng Yi finished delivering the medicine, they happened to see He Yun walking out from the gate of the temple.The letter had already been written, and He Lian had been planning it for several days.

When seeing Xie Xuan and He Yun riding away on horseback, He Lian should have gone straight down the mountain, but hesitated.At this moment, the two squatted at the foot of the mountain.

Feng Yidao: "Will the general and the prince really come back later?"

"My second brother can definitely guess that we haven't left yet, and will definitely come back."

The corner of Feng Yi's mouth trembled: "So why don't we leave quickly, but wait for them to come back and catch them?"

He Lian smiled a little embarrassedly: "I always feel that it's not good to leave without saying goodbye."

Feng Yi thought to himself, you are the one who wants to drag me away, hey!Why do you regret it now!The general won't take my skin off!

He lowered his head: "Lan Tian, ​​I think I'm going to die."

"No, the two brothers are both good-tempered and won't do anything to you."

As soon as the words fell, He Yunzhong's angry shout suddenly came from a distance: "He Lantian! You are promising!"

Er... He Lian glanced at Feng Yi with some guilt, got up and patted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

There will be ghosts only if you are not afraid, this is a great general! ! !

Feng Yi also stood up with a bitter face, and hid behind He Lian.

He Yun jumped off his horse and ran over aggressively, before he had time to swear.He Lian immediately shouted: "Second brother, I was wrong!"

"..." This is a mistake!I haven't started cursing yet!

Xie Xuan also followed, with a look of uncontrollable laughter.He Lian is learning from He Yun. He Yun has been like this since he was a child. Whenever he makes a mistake, he will admit it without saying a word, hoping that He Qing and Xie Xuan will be a little lighter.According to his fallacy, this is called taking the lead, and the brothers will be ashamed to scold you.

Before He Yun could speak, he was blocked, feeling a little depressed.

Is it true that I have always been so ungrateful? ?

He turned back to Xie Xuan and said, "No wonder you and elder brother beat me up if you didn't scold me, I understand."

Xie Xuan smiled and said, "Yes."

He Yun touched his nose and lost his temper.

"He Lantian, I'll give you a chance to explain. Where did you go wrong?"

"I..." He Lian lowered his head, "I shouldn't have left without telling you."

"Well, why?"

"I want to go out by myself, I don't want anyone to follow me."

What He Yun and Xie Xuan discussed was to send some skilled soldiers to follow He Lian and Feng Yi to protect them, but it seemed that He Lian was not willing.

Xie Xuan said warmly: "Lan Tian, ​​if you don't want to, you can talk to me and your second brother, it's not that there is no need to discuss."

He Yun curled his lips, feeling a little annoyed, brother Zichen is biased!He Lao San made a mistake too!It's the same mistake, why only beat the second child and not the third child!

However, in the eyes of He Lian and Feng Yi, his expression really seemed to be really angry.He Lian hurriedly said: "I know I was wrong, that's why I'm here waiting for you."

He Yun turned around and said, "Then we'll talk about it when we go back."

He Lian was a little embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "Second brother..."

"I have to go back and get you some gold, silver and luggage. Are you going to go out to play empty-handed?"

"Hey!" He Lian immediately raised his head and said with a smile, "Okay!"

If the child has a future and refuses to be controlled, just rush if you want to, and come back when you know it is hard.

It was not too late when they returned to the palace.He Yun personally helped He Lian pack a pile of clothes and enough money, and then returned to his room.

That night, He Yun tossed and turned without falling asleep.

I don't know how long it took, and just as I felt a little drowsy, I heard a few cock crows from somewhere.It's over, it's been all night again, He Yun sighed and sat up, really worried.

There were some voices outside the door, it seemed that Xie Xuan was talking to He Lian.He Yun wanted to stick over and listen, but first he heard a knock on the door, and then He Lian's voice sounded at the door: "Second brother, are you awake?"

He Yun cleared his throat: "Yeah!"

"Second brother, I... I have everything I have brought, you... you also took the two swords you gave me and Feng Yi last night, don't worry, I won't be bullied."

He Yun's nose was a little sour: "Yes."

"Then...then I'm leaving."

He Yun stopped talking and didn't even eat breakfast, so he was in such a hurry?

"Second brother?"

"...when are you going to come back?"

"I... I don't know, but I will write to you often."

"Ah."

"That..."

"Aren't you coming in?"

"I won't go in, second brother...how about you come out?"

"...you come in."

"Come out."

I won't go out! "You can't come in!"

"I...I dare not see you now, I'm afraid I can't bear to leave."

"...Then go quickly, remember to buy something to eat on the way, and you have to eat in the morning, otherwise it will be bad for your health. I won't go out, and I probably don't want you to go out when I go out. You... take care Take care of yourself, Xiao Feng has enough experience in running outside, you can discuss everything. You are too good-natured, if you want to be tough outside, be tough, don't let others make a soft persimmon. If you feel bitter, then... .Just come back. Anyway, the second brother is here, you..."

"I know the second brother, I know."

"Okay, let's go."

He Yun heard Xie Xuan say something to He Lian again, and then the footsteps got farther and farther away.He hurriedly put on a coat and ran to the door, opened a slit to look out, saw He Lian's figure leaving the door, and then slowly sat back on the bed, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He Laosan also left, now I am really the only one left in the He family.

It's boring.

He Yun was in a trance throughout the morning.

"My dear friends..."

What?

"The minister has a book to play..."

You play it.

"I think..."

think what?

"What Aiqing said makes sense."

Well, it makes sense.

"My minister agrees."

Seconded what?

"He Qing, how is the recruiting of the Central Army battalion going?"

Well, what's the matter?

Xie Xuan poked He Yun's arm, and said in a low voice, "Ask you!"

Well ask.ah?He Yun looked up and asked me what? !

The emperor said with concern: "He Qing is not feeling well, and his complexion doesn't look well."

He Yun hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I just didn't sleep well last night, it's okay."

The emperor said: "He Qing is worrying about recruits? There is no rush, He Qing doesn't need to be stressed, take your time."

He Yun was really embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "The recruits have been fully planned, and they only need to train as usual every day. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded, and then began to ask the next topic.He Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xie Xuan with a helpless expression, and saw Xie Xuan curling up his mouth and looking at him.He Yun shrugged, Brother Zichen, stop laughing at me!

It wasn't until early morning that He Yun bumped into Xie Xuan, grabbed his arm, and leaned against Xie Xuan as if he had no bones.Xie Xuan smiled and patted his head: "What are you doing? You are dying."

"What's more, it's all He Laosan's fault! I didn't fall asleep all night, and now I have to go to military training, why am I so miserable!"

Xie Xuan looked to the side, "There are many grown-ups here, what do you look like?"

"Whether they're here or not, I'm not allowed to be physically and mentally exhausted?"

Xie Xuan didn't speak, just looked at He Yun and kept smiling.He Yun seemed to have remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Brother Zichen, what did you say to Lan Tian this morning? Just before Lan Tian went out."

"I told him, your second brother must be crying in the room, you should go first."

He Yun also laughed: "Who is crying?"

"You."

"Okay, I just cried, what's wrong with crying alone."

"Hey, He Mingxian, do you know how to write the word shame?"

"I never knew."

The author has something to say:

Lan Tian went out to learn his skills!I'll be back later, don't worry~

The first volume is over, and the next volume is that General He officially takes office.
