Bright Moonlit Night

When the group arrived at Cuiwei Mountain, the setting sun melted gold in the sky, and the fire-like clouds permeated the screen-like emerald hills. Sometimes two or three birds hovered in the sky in groups or scattered, and sometimes they returned to the forest.The cool breeze blows across the mountain, and then comes towards the human face. There seems to be the fragrance of grass, trees and sweet spring in the wind, which makes people feel refreshed before entering the mountain.

On the place where the palace is located, there is a mountain road that can accommodate horse-drawn carriages. Although it is tortuous, it is flat, so that people can enjoy the scenic spots in the mountains without having to endure the pain of bumps.

When Lin Shen saw a deer, Xiang Wan just heard the bell.

Fu Mingzhi listened quietly, and when the bell died down, he asked, "Is there a temple in this mountain?"

Jin Yi replied: "The Liuli Temple in Cuiwei Mountain is a royal temple. Although it is not as good as the one in Beijing, it is more like a Buddhist temple."

Fu Mingdao: "In the busy city, the incense will flourish, and in the mountains and forests, it will be clean and untainted. Each has its own merits."

Jin Yiwen: "Many scholars in my dynasty abide by Confucianism and don't like to pray to gods and worship Buddha. I think you seem to have a sense of closeness to Buddhism."

Fu Mingdao: "It's not because of closeness. I have a half-teacher, but I am a doctor, but I have studied Buddhism deeply, and I have been fascinated by it, so I will not dislike it."

"Does a doctor practice Buddhism?"

Fu Ming nodded, "My half-teacher is very skilled in medicine, but birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and it is difficult for a good hand to rejuvenate. When there is no cure, there is only comfort. He said that the Buddha has compassion and wisdom, and can overcome the suffering in people's hearts. "

Jin Yi heard the words, recalled the volume of "Heart Sutra", and said in a low voice: "Guanzizai Bodhisattva, practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, see that the five aggregates are empty, and overcome all hardships..."

Fu Ming heard it and said with a slight smile, "I often recite and read, do you realize something?"

Jin Yi shook his head, "If the five aggregates are all empty to escape the sea of ​​suffering, then what is the difference between this kind of wisdom and the ashes of the heart?"

Fu Ming was speechless, and finally said after a long time: "So, rather than comprehending the Buddhist principles, I prefer to play with Maji's poems, walk to the poor water, and sit and watch the clouds rise." Raising the curtain higher, he Turning around with a smile, "Master, look, we're here."

Cuiwei Palace is built according to the mountain situation. The cornices and corners are hidden among the rocks and trees. The clear stream flows through it, and the clouds and mists brighten and fade, just like a fairyland outside the world.

Everyone dismounted from their horses and carriages one after another, walked into the main entrance with the welcome of maidservants and guards in the palace, and walked towards Shenshen Palace.

That night, the third prince hosted a banquet in hospitality.Taking into account the fatigue of the trip, they dispersed after just having a meal.

Fu Ming followed Jin Yi to Yunsheng Pavilion.

"Just now, you are always in a trance, what's on your mind?" Jin Yi asked Fu Mingdao.

"I feel that the third prince looks familiar, so I can't help but wonder when I saw him."

"Do you remember?"

"Well. Last year's mid-autumn night, the chief officer you mentioned was actually him." During the dinner, Fu Ming thought about the cause and effect, and seemed to understand why Cui Rong wanted to target him in the first place. The third prince acquiesced, And Jin Yi stood by and watched.

Jin Yi also remembered what happened last year. He originally wanted to say that if today and today were to encounter the situation that night again, he would never stand idly by.But what has happened cannot be changed, what has never happened is useless, he has intentions but can't say it, in desperation, he couldn't help reaching out to hold Fu Ming's hand, holding it tightly, as if he wanted to convey something through the force of the contact.

When Fu Ming's hand was held, his body tensed up slightly for a moment, and his palms were sweating quickly. He was surprised and strange feelings gradually arose in his heart. As he moved unconsciously, he slowly calmed down and gradually understood what Jin was doing. For some reason, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he also held the hand that refused to let go even if it was wet.

Gradually intertwined fingers, falling shadows formed into pairs, drenched by the dewy moonlight, followed others all the way to Yunsheng Pavilion.

Yunsheng Pavilion is built on the edge of the deep stream, with high platforms on the upper and lower sides, and a pavilion on the pavilion, which looks like a crane with wings holding on to the edge of the stream.

Lu Fei and the others have arranged everything properly, the servants live on the lower and upper floors, and the rooms of the masters occupy the entire upper floor.

There are no walls in the room, and there are doors and windows that can be opened and closed. Pure white uncolored light gauze curtains hang around, seeming to reject the breeze, bright moon, mountain scenery and cloud shadows.

Fu Ming casually posed in a comfortable position, sitting on the futon, holding a cup of wine made from wild berries in his hand, facing the deep stream under the moon outside the window, pine and bamboo in the wind, and slowly sipping.

Jin Yi half knelt beside him, hugged him from behind, and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Yes. I like it." Fu Ming replied softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, but the joy in his tone was still clearly audible.

Jin Yi couldn't help laughing, the smile rolled down his throat, he felt more intoxicated than drinking fine wine, but he was not polite, "I'm tired today, take a rest earlier, nothing will happen tomorrow, I'll take you for a walk in the mountains. "

Jin Yi got up, Fu Ming drank the wine, stretched out his hand to Jin Yi, Jin Yi pulled him up smoothly, and the two of them put their hands on the bed, fell into the quilt, and fell asleep hugging each other.

The stream can hypnotize, but the singing of birds wakes people up.

When Fu Ming woke up, his surroundings were still warm, but no one was there.He got up and walked to the door, and saw Jin Yi practicing sword by the stream below the attic.Because of the scattered rocks, the terrain was extremely uneven, but Jin Yi seemed to be walking on flat ground, his feet moved freely, and the shadow of the sword in his hand was like the wind.

Everyone in the world knows that Jin Chang is worthy of being the queen of generals, and he is very talented in martial arts, and the Jin family has successors.However, outsiders can hardly see this person's kung fu of reading military books late at night by holding candles, and his insistence on getting up early to practice swords no matter the severe cold or heat.

Although it is midsummer, it is still cold in the mountains in the morning.Fu Ming put on a long gown, but when Jin Yi returned to the house, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Fu Ming followed his heart, walked up to him, wiped off his sweat, and brought him some tea to drink.After Jin Yi lost his sweat and changed his clothes, he ordered dinner.

The mountain delicacies and wild succulents have also become more refined after being handed by the imperial chef.After the two had breakfast, Fu Ming went out with Jin Yi.

Both of them were dressed in strong clothes, and they chose a path to go deep into the mountain forest.Jin Yi carried a bow and quiver on his back, and asked Fu Ming to bring a sharp dagger in case of accidents.

Walking along the stream, the mountain road is rugged, but because of the verdant vegetation and the fragrance of the wild, people forget the difficulty of the road.Tired from walking, they rested by the water's edge, watched the stream gurgling down, splashed the waves and jumped into beads when they were blocked by big rocks in the water; occasionally, egrets came to drink by the stream, and when they saw people, they flew up in surprise, and then landed in the distance. .

Although the mountains are quiet, they are full of vitality.People walking in the mountains, even if they don't speak, only the sound of stepping on the grass is in harmony with the sounds of nature, and they are never lonely, only feel happy.

Fu Ming heard and saw that there were already many emotions gushing out like a spring. He wanted to say that he should take the qin with him, but he thought that he should not have taken the qin with him. The aftertaste of the piano is such a good taste.

Jin Yi seemed to feel the same way as Fu Ming, and he didn't say much during the trip, he just said "be careful" when Shi Gao's moss was slippery, or stretched out his hand to help him.

Sure enough, when we reached the water point, it turned out that the stream overflowed from a deep cave, and there were also oasis dripping from the rock wall around the cave. Fu Ming caught a drop with the tip of his finger, put it in his mouth, and felt the tip of his tongue was cold, so he smiled. Jin Yidao: "Try it."

Jin Yi also imitated his actions, and then said: "Sure enough, the water is good."

Fu Mingdao: "This water is even rarer than the plum water. It's a pity that I didn't bring any utensils to hold the water. Otherwise, I can put some back to make tea."

"What's so difficult about it?" Jin Yi signaled Fu Ming to give him the dagger, found a dead bamboo nearby, and with his hands, he cut off a section of the dead bamboo to form a water cylinder.

The rock dripped water very slowly, so the two sat on the grass and waited for the bucket of water to fill up.

Jin Yi straightened his legs, and Fu Ming understood, so he lay down. He was really tired, but when he lay down now, he felt comfortable all over.Facing the sky, the white clouds are like strands of silk, gently sweeping the endless blue.The flying bird is leisurely and light, which tempts people to just want to grow wings and fly freely.

For a long time, no, it might be better to say that Fu Ming was so at ease for the first time in his life.He closed his eyes, put one of Jin Yi's hands on his chest, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and fell asleep lightly.

A short break relieved the tiredness of the journey, and the bamboo tube was already overflowing.Looking at the sky, Fu Ming got up and said, "Let's go back, this water can't be stored for a long time, go back and make tea for you to drink, and also play the song that I have composed in my heart for you."

Jin Yi asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Fu Ming smiled and said, "You feel light and refreshed!"

Jin Yi lifted the bamboo tube, and stretched out his other hand to Fu Ming, and Fu Ming also generously gave him his hand. The two sometimes followed each other, sometimes walked side by side, and walked back to Yunsheng Pavilion along the way they came.

In the middle of the journey, Fu Ming turned his head, and the green hills behind him were more clear under the noon sun, and the white clouds were no longer in the shape they came, but gathered into clusters, like castles in the sky.

When the two returned to Yunsheng Pavilion, a visitor came to visit. It was Jin Yi's colleague, who had mentioned Jing Jing to Fu Ming.

It’s better to come by coincidence than to come well. I came here at this time, drank good tea, and listened to good music. On the way back, I met the third prince. I couldn’t help being overjoyed. The emotion is beyond words.Therefore, Fu Ming, who was just here with Jin Yi for entertainment, took on a temporary mission to prepare for the banquet in a few days.

Jin Yidao: "If you don't want to, I will ask the Third Prince to resign."

Fu Ming thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, the third prince is the one you want to follow, why do you need to shirk?"

Seeing Fu Ming's calm and confident appearance, Jin Yi's heart became hot, and he thought: such a person does this for me, it's even lucky.
