The young monk has returned to secular life

Early the next morning, Yizhen wandered around the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, and asked about matters in the General's Mansion from time to time.

Mu Yunqing also answered them one by one.

After dinner, Yizhen suggested taking a stroll in the three-story attic of the mansion.

The attic of the Duke's Mansion is called the "Ancient and Modern Building", which contains a variety of precious historical books and rare treasures.

The Gujin Building in the Duke's Mansion is comparable to Mu Yunqing's boudoir. Except for Qingmei who occasionally follows her in to clean the room, no one is allowed to approach it.

Even Zhou Jin has never set foot in the Duke's Mansion for three years.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that she has never made this request, but it also reflects the specialness of Gujin Building from the side.

Just when Qingmei thought Mu Yunqing would sternly reject him, she unexpectedly agreed without hesitation.

"Okay~"

"Qingmei, go get the lantern."

Qingmei hesitated for a moment, then lit the lantern. But when Mu Yunqing took the lantern, she mustered up the courage to pull Mu Yunqing aside and asked in a low voice: "Miss, you didn't really fall into his beauty trap, did you?"

Mu Yunqing held back a smile and tapped her nose: "Don't worry, I won't be easily confused by him."

"But Gujin Building is an important place in the Duke's Mansion, how can you let him go in and wander around casually?" Qingmei was still a little worried.

"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on him."

Mu Yunqing gave Qingmei a reassuring look and personally took Yizhen into the Gujin Building.

After a while, candlelight lit up upstairs in Gujin.

Yizhen didn't know what was in the Gujin Building, and his purpose was not to visit the Gujin Building, but after entering, he was surprised from the first floor to the third floor.

There are many books on the first floor.

There are many books on the second floor, but there are also many square cabinets with locks on them.

There are no books on the third floor, but there are more than a dozen tall cabinets. There are boxes of various sizes on the cabinets, some made of jade and some made of wood. Looking at the boxes, you can tell that the things inside are valuable.

There are also wooden frames that cannot be placed on the cabinets. Large treasures such as corals and jade trees are each priceless rare treasures.

Yizhen was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, reluctant to blink.

He didn't ask Mu Yun Qingtong if he agreed, and reached out to open one of the small boxes - Night Pearl.

Opened another one - a big ginseng grass.

Opened another one - it was a flower, crystal clear and pleasantly fragrant.

"Are you done?"

After lighting the candle, Mu Yunqing finally came to his side and carefully closed the box he opened again.

Yizhen sighed, shook his head and said, "It's such a luxury to have so much money and support from the people..."

"Why are you talking?" Mu Yun gave him a blank look and retorted with his small mouth pouting: "This is what our country's government has spent hundreds of years accumulating."

"What kind of people support people? You can't even speak!"

"Also, as a monk, shouldn't you be unmoved by these external things? Look at you, your mouth is almost watering."

Yi Zhen took a deep breath and whispered: "Amitabha, the young monk has returned to secular life."

Mu Yunqing curled his lips and kicked his calf, and said viciously: "Of course you should return to secular life. Buddha should never have accepted you as a disciple in the first place."

"My eyes widen when I see money, I get interested when I see sex, I change my mind when I see strange things... I don't know how you cultivated this profound Buddhist teaching?"

"Amitabha, that's because you don't understand me, little monk," Yi Zhen explained seriously: "What I cultivate is the heart. These worldly objects are just obstacles that I use to test myself. Only by deeply understanding these obstacles can I do anything." Invulnerable to all poisons."

"And the best way to understand these obstacles is to own it, so..."

"So you'd better recite sutras carefully." Mu Yunqing interrupted him, "If you want to understand them, I can help you. As for owning them, you'd better not think about it."

Yizhen got off the donkey and said, "Amitabha, that's it."

It’s good to take a look. Anyway, no one really owns anything that is not brought with them in life or taken with them in death.

Even life is just a journey.

Even the body is just a passerby of the soul.

He reluctantly touched the coral jade tree, then walked to the window and pushed open the window sash.

Mu Yunqing also came to his side and pointed in the direction of the General's Mansion.

"That's the garden of the General's Mansion."

Following the direction of her finger, Yizhen saw that the garden of the General's Mansion was completely dark, with not even a single person in sight.

That's right, it's so dark and it's not the time to admire the moon. Who would go to the garden to hang out at night?

If there is, then it is most likely a ghost that "can only come out at night except sleeping during the day."

The two of them just looked into the distance quietly without saying anything. It wasn't until Mu Yunqing rested his head on Yi Zhen's shoulder that they heard each other's heartbeats.

"Are you sure?" Mu Yunqing asked in a low voice.

"If the matter is exposed, will it bring you trouble?" Yi Zhen asked.

Mu Yunqing rubbed Yi Zhen's shoulder twice.

Yi Zhen thought she meant 'there won't be any trouble', but unexpectedly she said: "I'm not afraid."

"Why?" Yi Zhen asked.

"Because he was the goblin who tempted my brother to buy it from Hunter Fang Pavilion." Mu Yunqing's answer was calm and firm, as if he was telling a very common thing.

Now Yizhen was no longer calm. He turned his head and looked at Mu Yunqing's long eyelashes and asked, "Are you doubting Zhong Shiduo?"

Mu Yunqing shook his head again: "It's not doubtful, I just want to verify my intuition."

"How do you know it's him seducing your brother?" Yizhen asked?

Mu Yunqing looked at the night sky in the distance, as if recalling something.

After waiting for a while, she said: "The night my brother brought the monkey demon back from Liefang Pavilion, I went to Zhenyuan out of curiosity and eavesdropped on their night conversation."

"I clearly remember that my brother happily said to the monkey monster, 'No wonder even Uncle Zhong said that monsters are good, you are indeed outstanding'..."

Yi Zhen was itching to hear this, but after waiting for a long time, there was nothing more to say.

He couldn't help asking: "What happened next?"

Mu Yunqing blushed, lowered her head, and said softly: "Later... I went back."

Yi Zhen didn't believe what she said. But he couldn't ask further questions, so he could only admire him in his heart: This little girl knows how to eavesdrop on corners at such a young age, and with a little training, she will definitely have a bright future.

Briefly speechless.

At night, tranquility returned again.

After half a stick of incense, a red lantern appeared in their sight.

A woman wearing a long blue dress appeared in the garden of the General's Mansion, accompanied by a maid.

Because the distance was too far, Yi Zhen couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her figure and walking posture, this woman should have a good appearance.

"Is it her?" Yi Zhen asked.

Mu Yunqing had already moved her head away from his shoulder, and she said softly: "I don't know, but you are out strolling in the garden so late. How likely is it that you think it's a human being?"

Yi Zhen smiled and nodded: "That must be either a fairy or a ghost."

Mu Yunqing heard Yi Zhen's teasing, stretched out his jade fist and hit him, and said angrily: "Fairies only appreciate the moon, can they be the same as ghosts?"

Yi Zhen pretended to rub his chest: "Then... can the fairy find me a hat to wear?"

Mu Yunqing chuckled, turned around and pulled out the green brocade from under the jade tree: "Just wrap it up."

"Green? No!" Yi Zhen's expression changed and he pointed to the brocade under the coral, "I like yellow."

Mu Yunqing was stunned for a moment and thought, wouldn't green look better? There is something wrong with this monk's vision.

She reluctantly changed into yellow brocade, wrapped up Yizhen's bald head, and stood next to him quietly.

Everything was ready, and the woman in green from the General's Mansion had already sat in the stone pavilion.

Although the distance from the third floor of the Ancient and Modern Building to the stone pavilion of the General's Mansion is far, there is no obstacle.

Yi Zhen smiled slightly and clasped his hands together.

The breeze blows slowly, and the "Rebirth Mantra" rises.
