Extra Story ([-])

The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated through the maple forest and reflected on the two people in the forest.

The young man in white was twiddling a piece of red maple with his fingertips, and the blue silk hanging from his shoulders was dancing with the wind. He looked at the man opposite him with burning eyes, and the monk, who had always been ascetic, was rarely absent-minded.

Fugui's eager shouts came from a distance, probably feeling that the master has been missing for too long, and already anxious to get angry.

Shen Mian chuckled, and said: "It seems that Gu is a bit aggressive, making it difficult for the little master. Anyway, in the end, Gu doesn't care what the final outcome will be."

He raised his hand and loosened the fiery red maple leaf that seemed to be burning hotly at his fingertips, and the lonely leaves fluttered away with the wind.

He looked at the red leaves floating far away, and there was a flash of loneliness in his eyes, which was fleeting, and then he showed his usual lazy and casual smile, and said: "The wine has been drunk, and I will go back. If you are addicted, come to the West Temple, with your ability, it is easy to bypass the guards if you want to."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation.

The monk watched the snow-white robe brush past him, and for some reason a strong reluctance rose in his heart, wanting to grab him.

Don't want to let him go.

……

He said suddenly: "The benefactor."

Shen Mian stopped, "What can I teach you?"

"If the benefactor is willing to withdraw, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Shen Mian lowered her eyelashes, still turned her back to the monk, and said in a low voice: "Little Master lives freely, but he doesn't know that there are people in this world who are born bound and can't control everything by themselves."

"Gu also knows that the situation in the court is dangerous. If my brother's identity is revealed, there will be no way out. Why does Gu not want to escape, but in the end, he is unwilling."

"Why are you unwilling?"

Shen Mian said: "If a person is born as a puppet, everyone never takes him seriously, treats him as a marionette that can be manipulated at will, how can such a poor guy prove that he is also a person of flesh and blood?"

The monk fell silent.

Shen Mian turned to look at him, and said, "Everyone says that Master Wuchen of Nanshan Temple is a living Buddha who saves thousands of people from suffering and is the patron saint of Jin..."

Shen Mian's voice paused slightly, and she looked at the overly handsome monk in front of her.

"Master Wuchen, who is believed by thousands of people, you can't save Gu, can you?"

The monk was taken aback.

Shen Mian couldn't help laughing, and said: "Looks like Gu's guess was right. I got the Prosperity Hibiscus, and I was supposed to go to Nanshan Temple to pay homage in person, but I bumped into it by mistake. I'm so rude."

The monk still had that indifferent expression, except for the moment of surprise when he was recognized, there was no other emotion revealed.

"How did you recognize the poor monk?"

Shen Mian said: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. I heard about your drinking habit from the prince by chance, and the last time I met you in the forbidden area of ​​the backyard of Nanshan Temple, I thought you were a disciple of the master. I only blame the monks for not telling lies. The first time I asked for the Dharma name, the master avoided talking about it, so I became suspicious."

Wuchen said: "The benefactor is intelligent."

Shen Mian shook her head, and said honestly, "It's not that you are smart, but a pure person like Master, who is not good at hiding."

Wuchen lowered his eyes and said: "The poor monk is just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people can't live forever, the master is too humble."

Wu Chen said: "In this world, there is no immortal person. The poor monk just stays in the world a little longer than ordinary people. The benefactor has spent all his time in Lushan these days to attract the poor monk?"

Shen Mian nodded, and said: "Sure enough, these clumsy tricks can't be hidden from you, but it's a pity that the master refuses to drink even a sip of those good wines."

People outside Fang are most afraid of getting involved with the mundane world, disturbing the Buddha's mind, and taking a sip of wine will be considered as a debt of favor, so they are extra cautious.

Wuchen said: "It's really a pity."

Shen Mian said: "Master, you don't need to be jealous. It's just a jar or two of wine. I'm not shameless enough to use it as a threat. Besides, I won the master's Hibiscus Flower King at the Danqing Banquet last time, so I should give you a thank you gift."

Wuchen said: "That's what the benefactor deserves."

Shen Mian bent her lips and said, "I heard there is a legend about that flower, I don't know if it's true or not."

He was talking about the fact that the hibiscus flower lasted for a long time until Master Wuchen dreamed that a person turned into a flower, and the hibiscus flower bloomed unabated that night. After that, people rumored that this hibiscus flower was the incarnation of an immortal.

Wuchen said: "The dream is real, as for the others..."

Shen Mian suddenly came up to him, and asked eagerly: "I don't know what the flower fairy looks like, but is it really as beautiful as the rumors? I really want to see it."

Wu Chen was stared at by those clear eyes, paused, and then said in a low voice: "Hazy, I have never seen the face."

He hadn't seen it clearly before, but just now, the face of the person in the dream suddenly became clear.

He said again: "It is indeed stunning."

Shen Mian raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Master said he had never seen the face, and said that he was so beautiful, could he be teasing the lonely?" He leaned closer to the monk, his fair and delicate face carried an intoxicating fragrance of wine, and his lips Cherry red and moist, she said softly: "Is it really so beautiful, more beautiful than Gu?"

The monk closed his eyes and recited an incomprehensible Buddhist scriptures, and in an instant he was no longer visible.

Shen Mian froze for a moment, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Fugui found him, he saw that his stomach ached from laughing, so he rubbed his stomach and asked, "Master, what happened to make him so happy?"

Shen Mian let out a comfortable "hmm" and said, "It's an interesting thing."

Awakened some bad taste.
