Dressed as cannon fodder to raise cubs for the villain prince [Transmigration Book]

Climbing up the steps, there are nearly a hundred steps in front of the gate of Xishan Temple, which are very steep. The tall Nan trees on both sides are hundreds of years old.The sun shines through the forest, sprinkled spots on the stone steps, chirping birds are heard in the valley, and the clouds and mists in the mountains slowly dissipate.

Shen Chu couldn't help sighing that this was almost the artistic conception of the ancient temple hidden in the mountains.

However, among these thousands of steps, there will be a hundred steps of the devil's ninety degrees at the end, which does not make people feel happy at all!

He looked at Li Yunniang's thin body as if it was full of strength, she kept clasping her hands together, and climbed the mountain with her head down devoutly, as if she didn't feel tired at all.Look at Shen Mo again, he is not breathing at all with Zai Zai on his back.

Zai Zai looked at his father and said worriedly, "Uncle, why don't you carry your father on your back, it seems that you can't move—"

As he spoke, he picked up his bib again, and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I'll wipe your sweat for you!"

Shen Chu looked at the bib that his fat boy smashed with disgust, but still accepted Zai Zai's kindness, tilted his head to let him wipe his sweat, and then crawled to the front of the temple in one go.

No matter how you can't lose your majesty as a father in front of Zai Zai!

The temple gate of Xishan Temple is not too big. There are two vermilion gates and two side gates. There are two stone lions standing in front of the gate.

It wasn't too early for them to arrive, the courtyard in front of the first gate was crowded with many pilgrims offering incense there.

Li Yunniang took them from the Bodhisattva kowtow in the first gate to the Tathagata Buddha in the third gate, and then to the Thousand Buddha Hall in the back hall.In the middle of the Thousand Buddhas Hall is a future Buddha - Maitreya Buddha, surrounded by densely packed half-foot-sized niches from the floor to the ceiling. In front of the Buddha is a long-burning lamp, and the names of each one are written with gold powder on the lamp base. .

The above names are enshrined here by relatives and family members of the deceased, hoping to enjoy incense and pray in front of the Buddha, and cultivate a good afterlife.

There are futons placed in front of the altars. On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, or on the Qingming Festival and festival days, relatives and family members of the deceased who were enshrined in front of the Buddha will come here to commemorate and mourn.

Li Yunniang does the same every year, bringing Shen Chu and Shen Mo over.In the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion before, Mrs. Shen also had the habit of going to Xishan Temple to offer incense, but she didn't pay much attention to it. When she came out of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she became more free.

When Shen Chu was a child, she also asked who was mourning. Li Yunniang just smiled, touched his head and said, "You will know when you grow up when you are young."

Later, Shen Chu also tried to find out who this person was from the name under the lamp holder of the ever-burning lamp in front of Shen's mother, but at a glance, there were at least a hundred suspicious Buddhist altars, and the ten or so rows near the top could not be seen at all. What is the name written in the end?

And as far as he could see, they were all names like Zhu Fugui and Zhang Ruyi, and there was no sense of a story at first glance.

······

Li Yunniang sat on the futon behind the Maitreya Buddha, bowed her head and closed her eyes to the Buddhist altar in front of her, and turned the beads with both hands to sit quietly and pray for blessings.

Shen Chu and Shen Mo took Zai Zai and kowtowed three times on the futon next to them, and sat with them for a while.

Shen's mother said softly, "If you can't sit still, go for a stroll—"

Zai Zai couldn't sit still for a long time, and was pressed into a ball by Shen Chuqiang on the futon. He counted the number of Buddhist niches one by one with his little fingers, and after counting for a while, he forgot where he had counted, and had to start from the beginning again. .

Hearing grandma say that it's time to play, Zai Zai immediately bounced up, but immediately sat back, pinching his two little hands together, looked up at Shen Chu and said, "Daddy, can Zai Zai go out to play?"

Shen Chu sighed in his heart, how could his family be so obedient——

Xishan Temple covers a vast area. There is a garden behind the Thousand Buddha Hall, which is the monk's meditation room. Behind it is a Buddhist scripture pavilion. On the back mountain is a pagoda forest.

Sitting in the pavilion on the garden corridor, Shen Chu looked at the pines in the valley to calm his mind. From last night until now, he felt relieved.

Zai Zai is just a curious baby with boundless energy, at first he was running around in the garden, playing hide-and-seek with his uncle, but he disappeared after a while, but with Shen Mo following him, Shen Chu was not worried.

In the Thousand Buddha Hall, Li Yunniang turned the beads one by one in her hands, and felt that the whole person gradually calmed down.

She sighed, and said in her heart, "Mr. Shen, Xiao Chu has grown up, and he has also become the leader of the Taixue and obtained the qualification of Enke."

"In the past 20 years, I have followed your last wish to let Xiaochu grow up like an ordinary child. He was as outstanding as you since he was a child, and he is a child with his own opinions. Until now, I'm afraid I can't make decisions for him. .”

"I'm just a woman, and I don't know whether many things are good or bad."

"When children grow up, let them decide what kind of path they should take."

"That man—taken Xiao Chu as his adopted son, it must be fate. He didn't know Xiao Chu's true identity, but because Xiao Chu resembled you so much, he always took good care of Xiao Chu."

"I don't really understand why you don't want that person to know Xiaochu's true identity. After so many years, that person's mind for you has never changed. Most of the world is Bo Xinglang, like that person It’s hard to find someone who’s infatuated. Sometimes I can’t bear to look at them.”

"Zizai has also grown up, it's a pity you didn't see it. If you were still here, you would definitely like this little guy. I don't know who he followed. He is very clever, gluttonous, and chubby. , I am happy, I remember that Xiaochu was very sensible and obedient when he was a child."

Thinking of Zai Zai, Li Yunniang couldn't help but smile on her face.

And at this time, Zai Zai had gone crazy playing with his uncle in the garden, and didn't want to go home at all.Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Chu went down the mountain with his cubs, fearing that it would be unsafe, so Shen Chu went to find the monks in the temple to see if he could stay overnight, and then go down the mountain after dawn tomorrow.

But there are many pilgrims in the temple on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and those who can stay overnight are all pilgrims who have been promised for many years.

The little monk was also in a dilemma, "There are really not many meditation rooms left. On weekdays, the little monk will definitely be able to spare one for you, no, more than one, two are fine, but today is really not possible."

Shen Chu also knew that what the little monk said was reasonable, and he didn't want to embarrass him, and he didn't plan to spend the night on the mountain.

Just when he was about to turn around to find Shen Mo and Zai Zai, he hurried down the mountain thinking of telling Shen's mother, but he didn't expect a familiar voice behind him, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the visitor, the little monk hurriedly bowed and saluted, "This benefactor wants to stay overnight, but there are not many guest rooms in the temple."

Shen Chu was startled, thinking how could this person be in Xishan Temple?

I saw that the person who came was the Fifth Prince Li Di, who was still wearing the royal blue fox fur cloak, the sapphire crown on his head, the double fish ring on his belt, the four-clawed python pattern darkly embroidered on the blue brocade robe, deep eyebrows and eyes, and bright lips A little bit of bright red looks very moving in this cold winter day.

With just one glance, this person's appearance seemed to be engraved in his heart, which made Shen Chu's heart beat uncontrollably. He couldn't help but wonder if it was the same lips that kissed everything about him that night.

Then he was full of remorse, and felt that it was a sin for him to think wildly in this pure place of Buddhism, so he forcibly turned his eyes away and did not look any further, and just bowed, "I didn't expect to see His Highness here."

Li Di hurriedly helped him up, and said to the young monk, "Let's make two guest rooms from the lonely courtyard with this young master."

The little monk didn't expect Shen Chu to know Li Di, but there was no surprise on his face, and he left after responding.

Shen Chu hurriedly said, "I'm about to take the cub down the mountain, thank you Your Highness for your kindness!"

Li Di didn't let go of Shen Chu's hand, he raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Why, you don't want to live in the meditation room after it's vacated for you? Mr. Shen is so afraid of loneliness?"

Shen Chu wanted to cover up and said: "Your Highness is joking, why would Shen be afraid of Your Highness?"

Li Di: "That's it. It's just a night stay. Gu won't eat you. Besides, Mr. Shen doesn't live in the same room with Gu, so there's nothing to worry about."

Shen Chu finally found out that this person was just trying to tease him on purpose, the more he reacted, the more interesting this person was, so he simply didn't reply.He twitched his arm vigorously, but he couldn't pull it out of Li Di's hand, wondering why this man was so strong.

He glared at Li Di, then turned away quickly, and said angrily, "I hope His Highness will let you go!"

Li Di withdrew his hand and said with a light smile, "I forgot for a while, I'm sorry."

In Shen Chu's heart, he felt that there were a hundred villains roaring, this pretense was too fake, didn't he tell him clearly that he did it on purpose!

"Since Mr. Shen didn't refuse, let's take it as Mr. Shen and agree."

Shen Chu really didn't want to go down the mountain at this time. It is not a wise choice to take a child to walk the mountain road at night. It is naturally the best to have a Zen room, and nothing will happen if you stay overnight.

"Gu will take you to find out the way."

"My brother and Zai Zai don't know—"

"It's okay, let Qingzhu stay here, and bring Zai Zai and Brother Ling over when the time comes."

"And my mother—"

"Together."

Shen Chu:······

Is it so important to know the way?It's just for one night, and it's the same with Qingzhu taking it.He said he refused in his heart, but his body was very honest, and he followed Li Di.

Li Di's courtyard was on the northeast side of the Sutra Pavilion. There were guards in bunts guarding the gate of the courtyard. When they saw Li Di, they bowed to salute.

As soon as I entered the yard, there was a hole in the sky, a red plum forest suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, reflecting the unmelted snow on the mountains and roofs, especially Lingshuang proudly.

Shen Chu followed Li Di through the path, and couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect Xishan Temple to have such a unique courtyard."

Li Di looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "Xishan Temple's No. [-] Zen school in the world is not a vain name. Elder Wujue is the ultimate in the two words of Zen, and this is just a glimpse of Meiyuan."

Shen Chu heard it as normal, and glared at him sideways, thinking, at such a tight time, a pilgrim can't even live in a meditation room, and this person lives alone in such a big courtyard, so he has the nerve to say it's normal!

Li Di laughed and said, "Don't think that Gu doesn't know what you're thinking, what Gu said is that you can see the leopard from the inside, and you can see it."

Shen Chu blushed, seeing this man in a grove of red plums, with a smile on his face that bloomed like red plums in winter, his eyes were all about him, like a calm lake, full of tenderness that could drown him, he suddenly felt His heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, and he seemed to forget to breathe.

Some things are uncontrollable, and some emotions are uncontrollable.

Shen Chu felt that his heart seemed to be out of control.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Li Di: Just waiting for Xiaochu to confess to Gu, what else can Gu do, I can only forgive him~

Shen Chu: Heh, good job, so I recognized me a long time ago and still didn't admit it, which caused my young master to lose control of my heartbeat all the time, so I lost myself to death!
