dream

Facing Yunshao, Zhaoyuan had too much urgency and couldn't get what he wanted, but when he knocked on Yunshao's door the next morning, there was no one in the room.

Yun Shao was already thousands of miles away.

There is a mountain in Yunnan, named Zuowang.Rising from the ground, the strange peaks are extremely high, and the mountains are full of exotic flowers and plants, birds and animals.Famous mountains have famous temples, and the temple has been in charge of lighting lamps for many years.

People with a radius of hundreds of miles know that there are masters on Zuowang Mountain who are different from the outsiders in the past, who only focus on escaping from the world and practicing.This lamp-burning master is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also has a heart of helping the world.It has been here for dozens of years, and there has never been any evil spirits to disturb and do evil, because of this.

Once a woman who was pregnant with Liujia went up to the mountain to worship the Buddha, but she suddenly had abdominal cramps on the way, which was a sign that she was about to give birth.The Buddhist gate is clean, and all the people in the temple do not want the place of the Buddhist gate to be spoiled by the blood of a pregnant woman, so they do not allow the woman to enter the temple, and in the end they accept the woman by burning lamps, and finally keep the mother and child safe.

The monks in the temple criticized this quite a bit, and Ran Deng didn't make any further arguments. Just a simple sentence made everyone feel guilty, "Practice Buddhism to help people. Naturally, we should help people first, and then cultivate Buddha."

Yun Shao put away his sword at the foot of the mountain, walked up the stairs, and reached the gate of the temple. Hearing that the host hadn't seen outsiders for many years, he just took out the jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to the little monk who came.After waiting for a while, sure enough, the little monk from before stepped forward respectfully and led the way in a low voice.

The shade of the trees covers the sky, and the breeze in the forest is sent to the cool mountain peaks.The weeds beside the road have been pruned clean, only unknown small wild flowers exuding a faint fragrance.

This is Yunshao's second visit here, and it has been many years since she left.If possible, Yun Shao would rather never set foot here in this life.

Stepping into the wing room, a touch of sandalwood filled the nose.The furnishings in the room are minimal, with only one table and one couch, and two futons, on which a Buddha statue is enshrined.An old man stood in front of the Buddha statue.

"Master, the guests are here."

Hearing this, the man turned around, wearing cassock, although his face was a bit old, but his complexion was rosy, and his eyes were clear, but it made people unable to guess his age for a while.When he saw Yun Shao, he frowned slightly, then closed his eyes slightly, and muttered a Buddha's name.

"I don't know how to call it?"

Yun Shao said softly, "My family teacher is Taihong, the younger generation typed the word cloud, and the master's ancestor was named Shao."

Ran Deng silently recited the name, "Youth is like a dream, passing away? No wonder—Don't call yourself a junior, the poor can't bear it."

Yun Shao smiled, "Since it's just passing by, why should you be obsessed with addressing me, senior."

Ran Deng's narrow eyes suddenly shone, and he said slowly, "If it's really passing by, I won't be here to see Your Excellency."

"Since the younger generation only came here because the senior knew it, I would like to ask the senior to clarify..." Yun Shao stepped forward, raised her eyebrows, and said in an almost inaudible voice, "Will my father be like you and the others when King Rong rebelled? Say, died at that time?"

Like dropping a stone on calm water, this straightforward and sharp question made the other party's expression change suddenly.Yun Shao patiently waited for the other party's expression to change, as if after a violent struggle, he finally returned to calm.

The past that has been dusty for many years is restarted because of this sentence.Ran Deng looked at the gentle and elegant face in front of him, which slowly overlapped with the stunning face in his memory.Time has not changed his face, but it has unknowingly polished this person into a different kind of demeanor.

It's been so many years...

Forget it, since I can find him in front of him to ask for proof, I must already know it in my heart.There's no point in cheating any more.Ran Deng sighed slightly in his heart, and finally admitted, "You're right. The soldiers and horses were in turmoil back then, and it was too chaotic. The order I received was only to send you out of the imperial capital. Other than that, everything I said was from From the mouth of others, I have not seen it with my own eyes."

Yun Shao's body trembled suddenly, almost subconsciously clenching the whisk in his hand. "So, my father may still be alive, still in the imperial capital."

If this is the case, then many things can already be explained clearly.It's just that he didn't know how his father struggled and how much torture he suffered!

Yun Shao took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the panic and shock at the beginning was gone, only a calm and clear vision remained.Ran Deng knew that seeing this expression meant that Yun Shao had already decided something, and this decision happened to be the last thing he wanted to see, and it was also the thing he was most powerless to stop.

Yun Shao saluted again, "Thank you..."

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay any longer and turned around to go out.

Ran Deng hesitated behind Yun Shao for a long time, and finally said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness..."

This title, which has not been heard for many years, successfully made the person who walked to the door pause.

Yun Shao put one hand on the side of the door and never turned around, "I was injured too badly back then and lost my mind. Before I left, I never thanked the master. If I didn't know it, now that I know it, then my father will not be allowed to suffer." People are ruined. I will take him away regardless of life or death. I also hope that the master will know the will of the son of man, so don't stop him."

Ran Deng's lips fluttered, but in the end he didn't say a word, he just watched the tall figure slowly disappear into the mountains step by step, accompanied by a sunny day.
