After the rain in the morning, Master Hong Yuan, the abbot of Zhenguo Temple, went to the back mountain, met his senior brother, and asked him about the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince.

He got the news that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince went up to the mountain overnight, and the prince planned to stay with Master Hong Chou for a while, and return to the temple to continue praying after recovering his health, so as to avoid copying the scriptures intermittently, which could not cure his own illness. There is no way to complete this mission.

As for why the prince and his party entered the mountain overnight, Zhou Neiguan next to His Highness explained that it was because he heard that there would be rain the next day, and His Highness was afraid that the mountain road would be difficult to walk, so he set off early.

Although Master Hong Yuan did not see His Highness alive and kicking with his own eyes, his senior brother Hong Chou said that His Highness was with him and he had recovered a lot, so he could go for a walk in the forest accompanied by others.

Even the senior brother said so, Master Hong Yuan has no reason not to believe it.

So he could only ask Master Hong Chou to take care of His Highness on his behalf, and asked Hong Chou to report to the temple immediately if His Highness had something to do.

When Hong Yuan returned to the temple, Hong Wu and Hong Feng were waiting for him, the abbot said helplessly to the other two juniors: "His Highness should have woken up, it seems that the medicine of junior brother is effective...but, I don't know why I have to come Back to the mountain to cultivate. Since His Highness is in the mountains these few days, Junior Brother Hong Feng does not need to urge him to do morning and evening classes for the time being, and let His Highness Seven take a good rest."

In his opinion, the Seventh Prince is intelligent and pure, with a bright future, is very friendly to the people around him, and is also very focused and serious in doing things.

This sudden self-willedness, I am afraid it is still affected by the sudden illness.

Abbot Hong Yuan knew that His Highness would suffer from such a minor illness in summer in the past few years, and learned from Zhou Neiguan that His Highness was extremely unhappy at this time.

Although Zhou Neiguan didn't continue the discussion, Grandmaster Hong Yuan already guessed that His Highness's mood seemed to be related to the awakening of Shenwu.

His Highness looks cheerful and informal, but he is still a boy after all.

As a prince but not awakened, the blow to him seems to be greater than they imagined, so even when he arrived at Zhenguo Temple, his spirit became tense, and he would rather hide in the back mountain than face others .

Since Master Hong Yuan wanted to understand this matter, he felt more and more sorry for the Seventh Prince, and planned to fulfill his wish, not to go to the mountains to disturb him frequently, and when his illness was completely cured and his mood recovered, he would do it himself. downhill.

There are also internal officials and attendants in the palace in the bamboo forest courtyard. When they heard that His Highness suddenly went to the mountain to cultivate, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts: Could it be that His Highness the Seventh Prince stayed in Zhenguo Temple for more than a month and finally got tired of staying there? So these days, he deliberately pretended to be sick so he could find an excuse to go down the mountain to play?

To be honest, His Highness has held on for a long time, especially after the second prince and his party left Zhenguo Temple, the unattended seventh prince still copied the Buddhist scriptures for a long time according to the previous plan.

But the young man was playful after all, and finally couldn't hold on for a month, so he found a chance to sneak out to play.

Although Qiongning is located to the north, it is also a large county in Qingzhou, and because the Zhenguo Temple is very popular, the county is located under the mountain, so it is naturally very lively.

For the Seventh Prince, this city may not be as grand and prosperous as Tianjing, but it is fresh and interesting. It is reasonable for him to want to sneak away to play.

This matter is neither big nor small, but in any case, matters involving the prince must be cautious, if there is no evidence to make a conclusion, then the trouble will be the person who sent the letter "falsely reporting military information".

So they planned to investigate carefully, and after confirming that His Highness is not in the temple or in the back mountain, it will not be too late to report back to the nobles in the palace to know.

Master Hong Yuan seemed to have guessed that they would be suspicious, but he didn't show it on the surface, he just said: "There is the former head of the Discipline Academy of my temple in the back mountain to protect His Highness, it should not be a problem, there is no place to live, I'm afraid it will be difficult to arrange Everyone, enter the mountain."

His words immediately dispelled the thoughts of some internal officials who wanted to go directly to serve and confirm His Highness's whereabouts by the way.

——They came out of the palace anyway, if they want to eat and sleep in the open every day, how can they bear it.

Zhenguo Temple has always been on good terms with the royal family. Although there is no reason to favor any prince, this small matter will definitely not restrain the Seventh Prince, and may even cover it up.

Thinking about it carefully, if the prince does not delay things, even if His Majesty and the Empress Dowager find out about the prince's trip for a few days, they probably won't punish him.

Therefore, the attendants who were not taken away by His Highness planned to stay in the Bamboo Forest Yard, and then see if they could find a chance to go up the mountain to find out.

As long as His Highness doesn't go down the mountain for several days, they have a reason to go up the mountain to look for him because they are worried about His Highness, and force the Seventh Prince who went out to come back.

After all, this His Highness had the emperor's order, but he failed to fulfill his mission when the time came. Needless to say, he himself was blamed, and those who followed His Highness out of the palace were inevitably implicated by him.

Therefore, most people still hope that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince can return home as soon as possible, and don't want to stay outside for a long time.

In fact, at this moment, they were thinking about His Highness who sneaked out to play, and he was really strolling in the forest in the back mountain.

Abbot Hong Yuan and Master Hong Chou are monks, how can they lie.

……

Shaoxuan hugged Xiao Shiyi and followed behind. The two watched the little leopard in front together, and walked together on the fallen leaves in the forest.

Due to its small stature, the little leopard was half buried in the leaves for many times, but he insisted on walking on his own and would not let Shaoxuan carry him away.

In fact, the time was so short, and Qi Jing was still lying on the stone couch without moving at first, Qi Jing hadn't fully adapted to this body yet.

Unlike Little Eleven, he was not born with the ability to control the return of the ancestors - Qi Laoqi has been a person for 17 years, and he suddenly feels strange and uncomfortable physically and mentally when he wants to walk like this.

The reason why Qi Jing wanted to bring Shaoxuan and Xiao Shishi out was because on the one hand, he considered that Master Hong Yuan might find him after hearing the news, and he could not meet him in this form; on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity Get active and try to live like a normal leopard (fog).

Just as it was striding forward, it accidentally walked into a low-lying place, sank down, and was buried by fallen leaves in an instant.

Little Leopard: "..." I knew my legs were short, but I didn't expect them to be so short!

Shaoxuan & Little Eleven: "!!!" I knew that Qi Jing (brother) had short legs, but I didn't expect them to be so short!

Xiao Shiyi had been watching the little leopard walking from behind, staring at its long tail, which was almost as long as its body, swaying faintly.

Just when he was itching to watch, his brother suddenly disappeared, and Xiao Shiyi called out "brother" in horror, wishing he could run down to look for it by himself.

As a result, after a while, I saw a flurry of fallen leaves in front of me. I saw the little leopard crawl out with all fours, shook his head vigorously, and shook off the fallen leaves on his head and body, and then pretended to be calm. keep going.

The little guy couldn't help stretching out his hand, and grabbed it from the air, but he definitely didn't catch anything.

He habitually called out "brother" twice, and leaned forward, as if he wanted to go down to find the little leopard.

The little leopard in front had just gone through a thrilling experience without blowing his hair, but now he felt a sudden chill on his back, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and almost tripped himself.

It quickly stopped and looked back at them to see what Xiaoshi was doing.

Shaoxuan hugged the child tightly, and pressed Xiao Shiyi's chubby hand by the way, and said to the little leopard on the ground, "Do you want to take a rest?"

The little guy shook his head, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened - he is not tired at all.

In the past, facing Xiao Shiyi, Qi Jing could only see the surface, relying on experience to guess his younger brother's state and mood when his ancestor returned to his soul.

Now he himself has become the soul of the ancestors. Although he can't control it freely, he has a lot of personal experience.

Probably because this form has a natural advantage, its movements have become extremely agile, even if it hasn't fully adapted to this body, it doesn't take long to run and jump.

In addition, its sense of smell, hearing, and vision have obviously become stronger, and it can even feel subtle movements from far away.

It was only then that Qi Jing realized for himself how Shaoxuan and Xiaoshi felt something that ordinary people couldn't feel when they were on their way back to Beijing from Laiyiwei.

——It’s no wonder that Xiaoshi can smell the smell of sugar-fried chestnuts ten feet away, sophora japonica cake from twenty feet away, and sweet-scented osmanthus paste from thirty feet away... For the ancestors returning to the soul Speaking of which, it's really not that difficult...

Raise and lower the claws, and feel the sensation of the paw pads touching the ground and fallen leaves... Although the road is not easy to walk after experiencing mountain rain, the little leopard still walks more and more steadily.

Its originally agitated and anxious heart gradually calmed down as it walked step by step.

If it was really a last resort and he had to disclose his identity as the soul of his ancestor, he would also find a way and do his best to protect the people around him.

Rather than rejecting it now, it is better to think about it early, make plans early, and think about how to deal with it.

Thinking about it this way, its actions naturally slowed down. Feeling this change, Shaoxuan thought that the little guy was tired, but he was still trying to be brave because of his face, so he walked forward quickly and picked up the little leopard.

After walking in the fallen leaves for a long time, there was a lot of water on his body. After the little guy fell into his arms, he didn't want to wet his clothes, and he was struggling to get back to the ground.

But Shaoxuan hugged it gently but stubbornly, and the little leopard couldn't break free at all.

In addition, Xiao Shiyi, who saw his brother approaching him, immediately hugged the little leopard's neck, fast, accurate and strong, making it even more difficult for him to escape.

In the end, he had no choice but to rest his head on Little Eleven's shoulder resignedly, Little Leopard secretly winked at Shaoxuan, telling him to think of a way.

Who knew that the merman just lowered his head slightly, put his forehead against its forehead, and then kissed the top of its head.

"Go back, lest Master Hong Chou is worried."

The little leopard finally blew up and buried his little face in someone's chest.

——Just go back when you go back, what are you doing secretly taking advantage of it? !If this guy takes advantage of others again, be careful...be careful that he will return! ! !
