The Eight Winds of Rebirth

The Fahui Spirit Buddha of Shimen Temple only showed a silhouette in front of the crowd when the deacon of the temple was introduced to the main hall before the opening, and then he listened to the Zen master chanting sutras in the hall.

It took a total of more than three hours. Gu Xiangtan knelt silently in front of the Buddha statue and did not move. When the ceremony was over, An Yin came to help him. Gu Xiangtan's legs were a little weak, but today The seventh son Zhao Ze and the third son Zhao Jie also came with him. Zhao Ze burned a lot of paper money, but Zhao Jie remained quietly kneeling with Gu Xiangtan until Gu Xiangtan got up, and Zhao Jie followed him .

Even the abbot of the Shimen Temple nearby, after lamenting Gu Xiangtan's filial piety, couldn't help but also praised Zhao Jie's sincerity.

Gu Xiangtan nodded, then glanced at Zhao Ze who was walking over, and said, "Xiangtan has won the hearts of the two princes."

Zhao Ze waved his hand, Zhao Jie also hurriedly shied away from being humble, and said how much he admired Duke Yu before. Gu Xiangtan listened carefully, and walked out of the hall with them.

After leaving the door, Gu Xiangtan paused, turned around and whispered something to Zen Master Guanzheng.

The Zen master nodded, and then said to the monks of Shimen Temple, "Lingfo is grateful to those who came to read and listen to the scriptures today. The Buddhism is poor, and there is no hospitality. Each person will offer a cup of tea, and I hope you are safe."

When the words fell, the monks of Shimen Temple offered tea to the Zen masters who came, and took several large water jars for the wandering monks and the common people from all over the world and put them by the door, so that they could drink by themselves. .

Although it's just a little water, because it was ordered by Lingfo himself, it seems to have received some great benefits. What's more, it is rumored that drinking this water can cure all diseases. If the Bodhisattva is really alive, which high-ranking officials in the court would think of this? The common people are the easiest to be satisfied, so when Gu Xiangtan and others left, they could see another round of praises from afar, kowtow and kneeling, and the scene was even more beautiful than before. Spread out more.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Zhao Jie kicked his sore knee, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked at the sincerity on the faces of the people outside. Compared with Zhao Mian's disdain at the beginning, he was really Was shaken.

"Father is right, the power of the Spirit Buddha should not be underestimated..." Zhao Jie sighed secretly, and it was not in vain that he knelt by his side for most of the day.

The third king, Zhao Dian, had his own palace in Beijing. On the way to Zhao Jie, he said goodbye to the two, and Zhao Ze and Gu Xiangtan went back to the palace together.Just entered the imperial city, and saw a little eunuch running towards here from a distance.

When he got closer, he saw that it was Baoqing, the little servant serving Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze poked his head out and said strangely, "Why are you running in such a hurry?" He even found here.

Bao Qing's excited words were hard to say, "Mr., Mr.... Six, Six... The Sixth Prince is back!"

Zhao Ze was taken aback, and then dared not answer, "What did you... say?"

"The sixth son... the sixth son just entered the palace, and he was welcomed back by guard Chen!"

The next moment, Zhao Ze grabbed Baoqing's front and shouted, "Where are you? Where are you now?"

"In Ziwei Palace, the emperor is talking to you."

After Zhao Ze heard this, he didn't care about sitting in the sedan chair, so he jumped off and started to run. After running for two steps, he realized that Gu Xiangtan was beside him, so he hurriedly turned around, and saw that Gu Xiangtan also got off the sedan chair at some time , looking at him with a smile on his face.

Zhao Ze scratched his head, "Then what, Lingfo, my sixth brother is back, I'll..."

He wanted to say that I took a step ahead, but Gu Xiangtan asked, "Sixth Brother? Is that the Zhao Yuan you told me about?"

"Yeah, that's him," Zhao Ze clenched his fists, showing his emotions were agitated, "Why don't you go and see Lingfo with me?"

He just said that, but Gu Xiangtan nodded.

"Okay."

The two of them stopped taking the sedan chair, and Gu Xiangtan accompanied Zhao Ze directly. It wasn't slow, Zhao Ze was left behind for a while, and then Zhao Ze quickened his pace, and the two arrived at Ziwei Palace in only half a stick of incense.

All the way into the inner hall, when he really saw Mou Fei and Bi Fu outside the door of the imperial study, Gu Xiangtan was convinced that Zhao Yuan had really entered the capital!

Mou Fei and Bi Fu only glanced at Gu Xiangtan indifferently and then turned their eyes away. The little eunuch informed him that Eunuch Sun came out after a while. Seeing Gu Xiangtan, Eunuch Sun was a little surprised, but they immediately went with the two of them. Li, brought them in.

In the huge inner room, burning incense, Zongzheng Emperor Zhao You sat behind the case, looking at the white-clothed boy standing in front of him, the boy was tall and straight, with long black hair standing upright behind his head, Hanging down and swaying gently.

Gu Xiangtan stared at the back for a while, then silently turned his gaze away.

But Zhao Ze was not as calm as he was, he didn't even care about greeting the emperor, he rushed to the man in two or three steps, and then he saw a face that was both unfamiliar and familiar, the familiar features were the eyebrows, the strange one was the outline, The blood-red tear mole in the corner of the eye is very similar to the six elder brothers who are like a fairy boy in the world carved in powder and jade in his memory.

Zhao Ze's lips trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Emperor Zongzheng was looking at Zhao Ze, but when he saw Gu Xiangtan following behind him, his expression paused, and he smiled kindly for a moment.

"Ze'er, haven't you seen your sixth brother yet?"

Zhao Yuan lowered her eyes at first, and then slowly raised her eyes when she realized that Zhao Ze was approaching.

Zhao Ze's stature only reaches Zhao Yuan's eyebrows, his facial features have not yet opened, the two brothers look quite similar at this moment.

The coldness in Zhao Yuan's eyes receded slightly when he saw the blood relatives he hadn't seen for many years, Zhao Ze didn't speak, so he nodded to him first, "Seventh brother, you have grown up."

Zhao Ze only felt a sore nose, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand, "Sixth, sixth brother... are you okay? How have you been okay in recent years?"

Zhao Yuan paused, and held him with her backhand, "I'm fine." As she spoke, she cast a sideways glance at Gu Xiangtan who was not far away, and said slowly, "I'm back..."

For some reason, this light and fluffy sentence made everyone's hearts flutter. Gu Xiangtan and Zhao had one thought, but Zhao You had another thought.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Zhao You came back to his senses, sighed, and then said to Gu Xiangtan, "This is Zhao Yuan, the sixth son of the great prince. He left Beijing when he was young and has only returned. Can Lingfo recognize it?"

Gu Xiangtan looked straight at Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan was also looking at him, both of them looked appreciatively, for a moment, Gu Xiangtan nodded generously to the emperor.

"We've met."

Zhao You was slightly surprised, "When?"

Gu Xiangtan thought for a while, "About...three years old?"

Zhao Yuan also nodded, "Taizu sacrificial ceremony."

Gu Xiangtan said "Yes", "I was still young at that time, and I suffered from the sixth son's secret loss."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Ze asked.

Gu Xiangtan said, "I tripped and fell, broke my nose and almost left a scar."

Like Gu Xiangtan, Zhao Yuan also left Dejing at the age of seven, but he was three years older than Gu Xiangtan. normal.

Zhao You pondered for a while, then looked at the expressions of the two of them, and secretly let go of his heart.

He also greeted Zhao Yuan with a few warm words. The Grand Prince’s Mansion had already been emptied following the expedition of several adopted sons. The emperor thought about it, so he asked Zhao Yuan to stay with Zhao Ze for a while, and let him live in it after rebuilding it. , and heard that Zhao Yuan's physical condition was still weak, so he hurriedly asked Eunuch Sun to remember to let the imperial physician pay more attention, and sent them two wild ginseng and a bunch of good medicines, and then let them go down.

Gu Xiangtan also walked back with them, listening to Zhao Ze carefully ask Zhao Yuan about the past two years along the way.

Zhao Yuan only told him briefly that she did live in the north for a period of time when she first left Beijing, and then her illness didn't recover, so she went around several places, and after searching, she finally arrived in Luli, where she was treated by Master Guanyun. , and finally managed to save his life, and raised him for a while, and now he is mostly fine, so he came back.

However, Zhao Ze heard from it the suffering Zhao Yuan had endured in the past few years, and his heart was twisted like an arrow and a knife, but he didn't know how to comfort him. After suffering for a long time, he thought of asking, "Then... I won't leave in the future. Yet?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuan clearly felt that Gu Xiangtan also looked over, and after a while, he nodded.

Gu Xiangtan raised the corner of his mouth quietly.

When they arrived outside Xumi Palace, Gu Xiangtan bid farewell to them.

After entering the inner room, Su Xi, who had followed behind and listened to their words, finally couldn't help but said, "Why is the young master of the Zhao family...becoming the son of the sixth generation?" He is actually the son of the great prince? "Young master also seems to have a look that doesn't recognize him..."

An Yin was also puzzled on the face, but faintly seemed to understand something.

Gu Xiangtan unfastened his belt belt by himself, while looking at the person in the bronze mirror, he wondered, "When did I know Zhao Yuan?"

Su Xi was surprised, "Huh? Then the young master of the Zhao family..."

Gu Xiangtan turned his head and looked straight at Su Xi and An Yin, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"That's Yuanqing..."
