I Excavated an Emperor to Become a Wife.

Chapter 144 Part 3 Epiphyllum

The current emperor is personally visiting Huainan, and as the crown prince, Crown Princess Su Jingmo, Lin Qing will naturally accompany him, as well as King Yu Su Jingyan.

In the summer season, Chuzhou is different from the central capital, which is dry and dry. It is cloudy and rainy on weekdays, and the cold wind blows up at night.

"The doctor said that the princess is homesick and sad, and the cold has never recovered."

After taking a leisurely taste of the Mingqian Dragon Well that was worshiped in southern Zhejiang, Su Jingmo said with a smile: "I'm afraid homesickness is fake, but lovesickness is real."

Su Jingyan also came for this parade. The two of them have not seen each other for more than a year since they got married. At this moment, the person whom they miss is right in front of them but Yueyu has never said a word. How can they not hurt lovesickness?What's more, it will be even more difficult for Lin Qing to see Su Jingyan as she will be returning to the capital in a few days. How can she not worry?

Putting down the teacup, Su Jingmo frowned, "Sincerity."

"exist!"

"Is there any good place to enjoy the wind and moon in Chuzhou?"

"En... this... I heard that Miss Chu Qingyi from Fenglai Tower is very beautiful..."

Hearing this, Su Jingmo was rarely stunned, and after a while he laughed loudly and said: "Gu is talking about a pure place, enjoying the flowers and the moon, not the 'wind and moon'."

"Damn it!"

"That's all." Su Jingmo looked at the guard kneeling in front of him, and shook his head. He was indeed a bit indulgent on weekdays, and he often went to and from those places of fireworks, so it's no wonder the guard misunderstood him.

Seeing that the master didn't blame him, Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Tanhua Temple is a Buddhist temple, it is a quiet and good place."

"Tan Hua Temple?"

"Yes, although my subordinate's family lives in northern Zhejiang, although he is not from Chuzhou, he has heard the name of Tanhua Temple. Cangfeng Mountain, where this temple is located, was once full of Epiphyllum flowers. It is said that Buddha's light appeared in the place where the flowers were planted a hundred years ago. So he donated money to build the Tanhua Temple, named after the Epiphyllum that fills the temple."

"Then go and have a look."

"Yes! The Crown Princess..."

"Let her recuperate in the courtyard. If the emperor asks, he will say that I am not in good health and will not go on tour together in the past few days." Su Jingmo stood up and walked outside the house, "Prepare the horse!"

With only one guard who knew the way, Su Jingmo rode his horse and went to Tanhua Temple.

Although Tanhua Temple is in the outskirts of Chuzhou City, Su Jingmo set off late, and the sun had already turned to the west when he arrived there. Fortunately, the road was not muddy when he saw the sun today, so he rode his horse and galloped. arrived before.

Tanhua Temple is located at the highest point of Cangfeng Mountain. The temple is not very big, hidden in the green trees, but there are many people who go to worship and listen to Zen. It is almost dusk, and the pilgrims are all going down the mountain while the sky is still bright. There are fewer talents in the temple.Cigarettes are floating, a quiet and solemn atmosphere, dense with pines and cypresses.

After entering the main hall, offering incense and worshiping the Buddha, Su Jingmo donated a lot of sesame oil money, clasped his hands together, and said to the little novice at the side: "Little master, my master and servant are passing through this place, and I would like to stay in the temple for a night. Is it possible?"

The little novice saw that the man in front of him was handsome and handsome, and his clothes were even more luxurious, so he replied: "If the almsgiver has no place to go, there are still a few rooms in the backyard of the temple for pilgrims to pay respect to the Buddha. .”

"It's a blessing to be able to stay overnight, so why would you mind?"

"The little monk is going to report to the abbot, the almsgiver will wait for a while."

"Thank you, little master."

The front hall of Tanhua Temple is not big, but the backyard is much wider, with apricot-yellow courtyard walls and blue-gray hall ridges, well-tended Epiphyllum can be seen everywhere.

After passing through the corridor and the atrium, he went to the wing room. The little novice monk arranged the accommodation and delivered the fast food before leaving.

A table, a chair, and a bed, simple and empty, but compared to being safe everywhere on the battlefield, this is already very good.After eating some vegetarian food and asking the guard outside the door to ask for some hot water for a simple wash, Su Jingmo opened the window at the back of the house and looked towards the backyard of the temple.

There is only one small dilapidated meditation room in the backyard, and the rest are epiphyllums.

It's just that Su Jingmo, who wanted to wait for the flowers to bloom, waited for a long and non-stop heavy rain, the eaves were knocked on the roof, and the wind was strong.

Shaking his head and chuckling, "It seems that the epiphyllum won't bloom tonight."

Just as he was about to close the window, he heard a few coughs from the side room.

"Ahem, although the rain is heavy and the epiphyllum is not easy to bloom, there is always one epiphyllum in this courtyard that will bloom, and you have to wait to see it."

The rain was too loud, and the voice from the next door could not be heard clearly, and he couldn't see who it was because the window was blocked, but he could only vaguely distinguish what he said.

It turns out that there is also a person next to him who is watching Epiphyllum bloom?

Thinking of this, the corners of Su Jingmo's lips curled slightly, and he raised his voice: "It seems that Xiongtai must wait for the flowers to bloom tonight before giving up."

"The epiphyllum in Tanhua Temple has a destiny with Buddha, and I want to see it when I travel to this place."

"Oh? Brother Tai is talking about seeing the Buddha's light on this mountain a hundred years ago?"

"No."

Hearing these two words, Su Jingmo asked curiously: "Then what else?"

"Do you know that epiphyllum is also called Wei Tuo flower?"

Su Jingmo shook his head, "I don't know."

"According to legend, Epiphyllum was originally a flower god. She bloomed every day and was brilliant in all seasons. Only one year, a young man came to the mountain where she was. The young man loved flowers and plants, so he watered her when it was dry, and watered her when it was flooded. She protected her from the rain, and she fell in love with him over time, so she turned into a human form to be with Wei Tuo. Later, when the Jade Emperor learned about it, he captured the flower god and demoted her to an epiphyllum that could only bloom for a moment every year. The young man was sent to Vulture Mountain to become a monk and given the name of Wei Tuo, so that he could forget his past and devote himself to practicing Buddhism, and gradually achieved success. However, the flower god could never forget him. She knew that Wei Tuo would always come down the mountain every early summer to serve The Buddha picked morning dew and made tea. So she bloomed the energy that had been gathered for a whole year at that moment. She hoped that Wei Tuo could look back at her and remember her..."

"What happened later? But remember?" Su Jingmo couldn't hear the voice from the side, so he asked.

"No, thousands of years have passed. Wei Tuo went down the mountain year after year to collect morning dew, and Epiphyllum bloomed silently year after year. Wei Tuo never remembered her. Later, a temple was built in the place where Epiphyllum was located. The mortal monk could see her, so he asked her why she was sad, she just shook her head but said nothing, every ten years at the same time, he would come and ask her the same sentence, until 80 years later, Epiphyllum saw that he was getting old, and told her After listening to the old man sitting down with his eyes closed, the time passed and the sun set, the old man said: "The short-lived is Wei Tuo, what is wrong with this kind of love? God punishes me to accept it, and the sky has no eyes, I will open it.", After saying that, the old man passed away immediately, and took the Flower God with him to the Buddha Kingdom. The Flower God saw Wei Tuo in the Buddha Kingdom. Wei Tuo finally remembered the karma of his previous life, and the Buddha knew the unfinished karma of Wei Tuo's descent to the world."

"'The short-lived is Wei Tuo, what is wrong with this kind of love? God punishes me to accept it, and the sky has no eyes, I will open it'" Su Jingmo said with a smile, "But why can mortals see the Flower God, but This successful Wei Tuo can't see it? I'm afraid his heart doesn't want to see it anymore."

After Su Jingmo said this, he didn't hear the people on the side reply. After waiting for a while, there was laughter.

"Hahaha, great advice, brother, Xiaosheng has never thought about this before, but I think it makes sense after hearing you say it."

Su Jingmo could hear the sadness in the laughter, he didn't speak, and the man separated by the window and the wall didn't care.

He could only hear him sighing as if talking to himself: "Yes, how could he not see it, maybe he just pretended not to see those eyes that love him so much... that's all..."

The lament lingered into Su Jingmo's heart through the cool summer night, Su Jingmo frowned slightly, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

For some reason, I felt bored in my heart.

Looking at the rainwater dripping from the eaves, Su Jingmo tapped on the window sill, "Brother Taiyuan is also an infatuated person."

"I've never talked to anyone about it."

"You said that the epiphyllum in this temple has a relationship with the Buddha. Could it be that this Buddhist temple is the legendary temple? But I heard that this Buddhist temple was newly built a hundred years ago."

"It was indeed well built a hundred years ago, but I got this legend from the west. The place where the epiphyllum blooms mentioned in the legend is the east of Huainan. I followed the legend to find it, and it is the most likely place. And Look at the small Zen room in the backyard, I asked the historian of Chuzhou City, and he said that this Zen room existed long before the temple was built, but I don’t know exactly when.”

"I came to see the Buddha because of a predestined relationship with the Buddha. I must have something to ask for. I just don't know what brother is asking for?"

"...I want to see someone..."

"……Who?"

"One, Beloved."

The night was deep, and they didn't even see each other, and they didn't even ask their names, and the two who had never met by chance talked for a long time.

"Flowers are blooming!"

It wasn't until a voice came from the side that Su Jingmo realized that the epiphyllum in the corner of the room had quietly bloomed.White to the bone, dotted with drops of rain, it is extremely beautiful.

"When I dreamed back at midnight, the beauty under the moon appeared. This epiphyllum is really poignant and beautiful." Su Jingmo joked: "It is rare to see this epiphyllum in the rain. It seems that those who want to see it will be able to see it."

"Haha, it's still gone."

"Huh? Why?"

"Compared to meeting each other, I wish him happiness and well-being."

Seeing that the rain was light, the voice of the people in the side room became clearer. Su Jingmo felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he heard it.

Subconsciously, Su Jingmo wanted to meet the person across the wall, but as soon as the idea came up, he smiled and shook his head, how can we see him in the middle of the night?

"It's late at night, and Epiphyllum has also been seen, so let's rest earlier."

When the voice came, Su Jingmo responded with a smile: "Okay."

Let's wait for tomorrow, and tomorrow I will see what this infatuated person who is waiting for the flowers to bloom at night looks like.

However, when it was dawn, the wing room next door was already empty, and the scholar who went on a study tour left at dawn.

"The benefactor asked me to give you this letter before he left."

Su Jingmo took the letter and opened it, and wrote in the letter: "Leave without saying goodbye, only study tours are long and long, don't delay. Recalling the story told last night, when the mortal passed away, he also said to the flower god, "The cause of origin, the end of fate, and the end of fate." I don’t know why I don’t want to tell you this sentence, maybe your voice is somewhat similar to that person’s, which makes Xiaosheng confused, and makes Xiaosheng reluctant to part with it. For this, Xiaosheng is extremely sorry. Friends are happy and healthy."

Su Jingmo put the unsigned letter on the table and closed his eyes. He remembered that this person said last night that he wanted to see someone.He remembered the familiar voice.

"Chenghe, go back to the city."

"Yes!"

A flash in the pan, just for Wei Tuo...

----------

Seeing the man in his arms waking up and staring at him blankly, Tan Cheng smiled and leaned forward to kiss his lips, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something from the past."

"It's still early, sleep a little longer?"

Su Jingmo frowned, put his arms around Tan Cheng's neck, and smiled: "You always wake up earlier than me."
