I have a book to play

Chapter 10 [One 0] Mountain Monk

There was a lot of delay on the road due to this accident, and it was already past noon when the Sun family and his party entered the temple.The abbot of the temple received them, and after arranging a room for a temporary rest, he asked the little monk to bring vegetarian dishes for them to eat.

Hachiro ate and drank enough, and soon fell asleep.Sun Peng ordered the wolfberry to look after it, while he went to see Aunt Feng in the female guest room.

Jingming Temple is located to the east of Yingshan Mountain outside the south gate of the capital.This temple has lived deep in the mountains for a long time, but it bears the capital on its back. From the perspective of Fengshui, it is worthy of being the most treasured place chosen by Emperor Xuanwu.

The green forest hangs down, the green water is the text, and the beauty of the environment makes people have to sigh with emotion.

The whole temple is built on the mountain, and there are many Buddhist halls, which rise and fall according to the mountain.Qingtai Zige, pine, bamboo orchid, along the steps in the temple, every step you take, you can smell the fragrant sandalwood brought by the wind.

Jingming Temple has not been at its peak in recent years due to the popularity of incense, so there is no need to book rooms in advance.However, in order for the occasional pilgrims to live comfortably, the rooms of the male and female guests are carefully cleaned by the little novice every day.

When Sun Peng walked to the female guest room, he saw a young monk holding a broom tightly by the pool in the courtyard, talking to Aunt Feng.

"This is Xiao Huang. It has lived at the bottom of the pool for many years, and it rarely shows up."

The little novice’s voice was timid, and Aunt Feng was sitting by the pool, holding a bowl in her hand, grabbing a handful and throwing it into the pool from time to time, asking, "What does Xiao Huang eat?"

"Eat...eat..."

"Eat meat."

When Sun Peng got closer, he realized that there was a yellow-armored bastard crawling on the edge of the pool, lazily, as if basking in the sun.

"The bastard likes to eat fish, shrimp, and shellfish, and also eats bugs and other meat. There are a lot of fish and shrimp in the pond. I think this bastard is fat and fat. I'm afraid he hides at the bottom of the pool on weekdays, so he eats a lot. Auntie doesn't need to feed it. .”

Aunt Feng raised her head with a smile, and passed the small bowl in her hand to the maid beside her: "Qilang is here."

Sun Peng nodded, chatted with Aunt Feng for a while, and then changed the subject after seeing the little novice salute and leave.

"Auntie, how is the little lady?"

Under Xie Chen's reassurance, the girl followed them to Jingming Temple.It was also at that time that Sun Peng learned that Xie Chen found a fainted girl in the mountains, and not long after she brought her back to the temple, the girl woke up, thinking that she had fallen into a tiger's den again, and ran into them in a panic to escape from the temple.

After all, men and women are different, and the girl was blindly afraid of the man's approach. Sun Peng and Xie Chen had no choice but to entrust the man to Aunt Feng's care.

"After eating vegetarian dishes, I finally fell asleep." Aunt Feng got up, and walked slowly to the wing with Sun Peng, "Qilang, I'm afraid Mrs. Xun suffered a lot before this, and I'm afraid it will be very painful."

In the wing room, it was quiet, as if he was really in a deep sleep.Sun Peng stood at the door and listened for a while, then turned around: "Auntie, since Mrs. Xun is still sleeping, I won't bother her, I'll come back later."

Aunt Feng nodded and personally escorted him out of the yard before returning to the wing to rest.

Sun Peng strolled in the temple, and every corner and every road he was familiar with in his memory came to mind step by step while walking.

From the wing room where the pilgrims lived, to the largest pagoda in the temple, Sun Peng couldn't help but look up.

The gold-plated Baoduo, with its glowing glow, is enough to show that the monks in the temple attached great importance to this pagoda built during Emperor Xuanwu's time.

There were footsteps not far behind.

Sun Peng looked back, and saw a monk's robe brushing past at a far corner, and then a monk in white came slowly, his whole body clear and clear, not stained by a speck of dust.

After seeing the person coming, Sun Peng was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands: "Master Chang He."

Xie Chen was dressed in the most ordinary monk's clothes, but he was dressed in a more dignified manner than other monks in the temple.

It seems that he has trekked across mountains and seas and through thousands of sunlight.

Sun Peng felt from a long time ago that if this man had not entered Buddhism, he would probably be the most attractive existence in the world.

Just like himself, it was from getting along day and night that he gradually attracted all the attention, and he kept people in his heart bit by bit, and he couldn't let it go or forget it from now on.

"Small temple in the mountains, simple tea and light food, I don't know how Qilang uses it?"

"Blandness is also the top grade." Sun Peng smiled, his eyes fell on Xie Chen's face.

He can't remember when he was in the palace when he was young, and occasionally got along with Xie Chen. He only remembered sporadically that after Xie Chen became a monk, he followed the old man to Jingming Temple several times. It is indifferent, without sadness or joy, as if everything in the world can no longer disturb the mind.

It's the same now.Sun Peng couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.

Xie Chen clasped his hands together: "The temple is no better than the mountain, but Qilang has worked hard."

"What's so hard about it, I've eaten a year's worth of vegetarian food." Sun Peng casually said, looking up at the monks passing by, missing the sharpness in Xie Chen's eyes.

Looking back, he suddenly asked, "How did Master meet Lady Xun?"

Xie Chen's eyes turned cold for a moment, and Sun Peng was stunned for a while and was a little startled: "There is a big lake in the back mountain, reeds, water chestnuts, yellow armor and purple scales, green ducks and white geese, everything is beautiful and unique. Poor The monk would occasionally go to the lake to sit in meditation."

When Sun Peng heard it, Dang even somewhat understood that Lady Xun probably ran into the back mountain of Jingming Temple in a panic after escaping from the evil temple and the devil's cave, just like in her previous life.

However, in the previous life, he accidentally picked up Lady Xun in the back mountain.This life is replaced by gratitude.

"Lady Xun passed out by the lake. When the poor monk found out, half of her body was already in the water. If she accidentally slipped down, she would probably drown in the back mountain."

Xie Chen's words made Sun Peng think of such a picture in his mind at that time, and suddenly felt his scalp go numb.Most of the drowned people have an ugly belly, and if they are not found in time, they may even be bloated.

Thinking of Lady Xun's appearance, he can only be thankful that this time, Xie Chen discovered it in time.

If the pretty girl's family dies by drowning, I'm afraid her family will be heartbroken when they find out.

"Lady Xun has already been married as a woman, and she was sold to someone else by her husband."

Xie Chen's voice became colder, Sun Peng came back to his senses, and suddenly walked a few steps closer and said, "The crown prince set up a prostitution temple privately, and there are special people under the door who are responsible for abducting and abducting young girls for the prince's prostitution temple. Master, tell me, this matter about Mrs. Xun Will it..."

When he spoke, he got a little closer to Xie Chen.After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his lips were so close that they almost touched the earlobe of the other party.

"Cough..." Sun Peng took a step back and turned his face away, "I just heard about this incident by accident. Whether it is true or not needs to be verified..."

"Nine times out of ten it is true."

Xie Chen's expression didn't change, he turned around, where Sun Peng couldn't see, there was no warmth in the pair of phoenix eyes, and the brows were full of hostility: "Mrs. Xun probably escaped from the prostitution temple."

There was no sound behind me.

Xie Chen didn't look back, just took a step forward, and after a while, he heard footsteps chasing him again.

In the sixth year of Yonghui, he was forced to come down from that position.It doesn't matter if he can't be a prince, even if he is just an idle prince, he can live in peace.However, for the sake of the so-called country and society, and for the safety of the emperor's grandmother, he had no choice but to become a monk and escape into Buddhism.

However, asking a trash to hold the crown prince for so many years is simply absurd.

He turned his head slightly, and at the end of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the young man behind him, silently clenched the prayer beads wrapped around his wrist.

The young man he has put in his heart to protect 12 years later, no matter what happens in this life, he will never let the same mistakes happen again.

The direction Xie Chen walked was the female guest room.Logically, in their identities, they should avoid suspicion, but Madam Xun's identity is too special. If you don't ask directly about some things, I'm afraid something will go wrong.

Sun Peng followed closely, and arrived at the female guest room after a while.

Aunt Feng's maid was standing outside the door of Mrs. Xun's room. Seeing the two approaching, she hurriedly saluted.After getting Aunt Feng's response, she opened the door and let the two of them in.

Inside the house, Lady Xun sat in a corner of the bed with her knees hugged, her head buried between her arms, her shoulders trembling, and she could vaguely hear sobbing.Aunt Feng was sitting on the edge of the bed, talking softly all the time.

"Auntie, is Mrs. Xun feeling better?"

Aunt Feng got up and saluted Xie Chen: "I woke up after not sleeping for long, and kept crying after that, and no one would listen to my persuasion." Sighing, Aunt Feng led the two of them to the side, shook her head in a low voice, "I'm afraid She suffered a lot before, but just now Ginkgo wiped her body and told me secretly that Lady Xun's body is full of injuries."

Sun Peng frowned and remained silent.

How could he not know that Mrs. Xun was injured.In his previous life, he asked Aunt Feng to take care of Madam Xun, and it was Ginkgo who told them that Madam Xun had obvious signs of being abused.

But he thought at the time that Lady Xun had completely escaped from the clutches of the devil, and that the person who came to pick her up was her real family, who had come to take her home and start a new life.

Unexpectedly, the last time she heard about Mrs. Xun, it was she who testified angrily that he and the Sun family had kidnapped the girl for Xie Zhang.Her testimony completely became the straw that broke the camel's back. No one in the Sun House survived except him.

Sun Peng knew that he could not wait for Mrs. Xun in the matter of the Sun family.

In the final analysis, it was he who mistakenly pushed Lady Xun, who had clearly escaped from the devil's lair, back into the flames.She would choose to testify, and she clearly believed in everything she had experienced from the bottom of her heart, without knowing that everything was just a misunderstanding.

"If it is possible, can the poor monk ask the female benefactor to tell the matter one by one, so that I can seek help for the female benefactor at that time."

Xie Chen's voice completely pulled back Sun Peng's thoughts of walking away.When he came back to his senses, Xie Chen was standing by the bed again. Even though Mrs. Xun couldn't see him, he still bowed cautiously and politely.

Aunt Feng sighed softly, walked to the bed, and began to persuade in a low voice.

Perhaps the persuasion played a role, and Lady Xun slowly raised her head.

"I... told Master that my surname is Xun..."

"Yes. The benefactor once said."

"My...husband's surname is Gou. Because of the similar characters, the two families have been in touch since childhood. My husband and I are considered childhood sweethearts, but..."

Madam Xun was trembling all over, Aunt Feng had no choice but to look at the two men apologetically, sat on the bed and hugged them in her arms.

Probably the warmth of the human body finally calmed down the trembling. Although Lady Xun's voice was still trembling, she was able to continue.

"Three years ago, my family suffered a natural disaster. My father and mother died of illness, and I was the only one left in the family. Mr. Meng did not dislike me and married me. After three days of getting married, I returned home. My husband accompanied me back to my hometown to visit my parents' graves. On the way back... ..."

"How was it on the way?"

"On the way back, he suddenly took me somewhere else, and handed me over to someone else right in front of my face!"
