embarrassment for man and wife

In the General's Mansion, white silk was hung all over the walls, and in the hall, in the coffin parked there, Zhuo Hua just lay there quietly.

Beside the coffin were the uncontrollable cries of Xu, Hong'er and their two daughters. Wan Qixiu stood here, watching everything in front of him quietly, not knowing what to say, and Xie Junnan, since he will On the day when Zhuohua was sent here, he never left here again. Up to this moment, he is still here, looking at Zhuohua quietly, as if he wants to send Zhuohua one last journey.

In the blink of an eye, Wan Chengxiu looked at the expression on Xie Junnan's face. He suppressed, took a deep breath, stepped forward and patted Xie Junnan on the shoulder: "If Zhuohua could be with you back then, he wouldn't... ".

"I didn't seize the opportunity." Xie Junnan's voice was so soft that Wan Qixiu almost didn't hear it.

Outside the house, thunder bursts, and it seems that there are signs of heavy rain.

Xie Junnan turned his head and looked outside, he was in a daze, and it took him a while before he remembered something.

"I remember, when I was a child, my great-grandfather once said...the bodhi wood in Xiangguo Temple has spiritual energy...".

Wan Qixiu was obviously stunned: "Do you believe such words?".

Xie Junnan turned to look at him: "I believe that my great-grandfather was a cultivator back then."

Wan Qixiu was visibly astonished.

Xie Junnan's expression changed, and he suddenly told Wan Qixiu: "Don't rush to bury Zhuohua, wait for me to come back."

Wan Qixiu was shocked: "You don't want to go to Xiangguo Temple to ask for Bodhi wood?".

Although Xie Junnan didn't answer, his actions proved that Wan Qixiu's guess was right.

He went to Xiangguo Temple to ask for Bodhi wood.

But how can this bodhi wood be obtained so easily?

There is a big Buddha sitting in front of the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple, and the old bodhi tree was carved with a Buddha statue at some time. It has been incensed for so many years, how can it be insane?

In Xiangguo Temple, when the host heard about Xie Junnan's intentions, he said the Buddha's name, and then rejected Xie Junnan's request. Xie Junnan's heart suddenly tensed, and he wanted to say more, but the host turned around and left.

Xie Junnan froze in place, he looked at the host and was eager to catch up, but the little novice behind the host stopped him with a wrong step: "Thank you benefactor, please go back, the Bodhi tree is the treasure of our temple. , Don’t dare to compromise easily, instead of begging for presidency here, the benefactor should go and see Zen Master Puguang.”

Zen Master Puguang, that is the eminent monk of Xiangguo Temple.

Thinking of Zen Master Puguang's detached identity, Xie Junnan did not hesitate, and really turned around to pay his respects, but after all he did not see Chan Master Puguang, only outside the door, he saw the young disciple who was sitting by the Zen master.

The little disciple bowed to Xie Junnan, said the Buddha's name, and then said: "Benefactor, the master asked me to tell the benefactor that it is not impossible for the benefactor to ask for bodhi wood, but it depends on whether he is sincere or not."

Xie Junnan hurriedly asked: "Please tell me, my little master, how can I prove my sincerity in seeking bodhi wood?".

The little student bowed slightly to him: "If the benefactor is sincere, then kneel three times and kowtow nine times from the gate of the general's mansion all the way to the Bodhi Buddha statue."

The Bodhi Buddha statue is the Buddha statue that was carved under the Bodhi tree at some time. The Buddha statue is quite big, as tall as a person. The sculptors are skilled in carving the Buddha statue. It is called a Bodhi Buddha statue.

From the gate of General's Mansion to Xiangfo Temple, even by carriage, it takes a whole morning. What's more, is it better to kneel three times and kowtow nine times along the way?This kind of condition is obviously making things difficult, and no one would agree to it easily, even the young servant beside Xie Junnan was stunned when he heard it: "This Xiangguo Temple is so far away, kneeling three times and knocking nine times all the way, there is no one day that will be that good." Can you come here? Little master, isn’t this sincerely making things difficult for others?”.

The young apprentice didn't care about the young servant's anger, he just bowed to the young servant: "The young monk is just passing on the words of the master, and it depends on the benefactor whether he does it or not."

"I'll do it!" Xie Junnan blurted out, with a resounding voice without any hesitation.

The little servant was shocked, and hurried to Xie Junnan's clothes, trying to make him stop being impulsive.

And Xie Junnan just turned around and left without saying anything.

Returning to the General's Mansion again, Wan Tuxiu was surprised that he came back so quickly: "Did you ask for Bodhiwood?".

"Not yet." Xie Junnan only replied to him, then turned and went to the mourning hall.

There, Zhuohua was lying in the coffin, as if he was asleep.

The sky outside was still gloomy, with the sound of rain.

Xie Junnan stared at Zhuohua for a while, and was about to turn around when another servant came running outside the door: "General! Report back to General, Wu Linqing is here again!".

This name made both Xie Junnan and Wan Qixiu look gloomy.

Outside the gate, Wu Linqing was standing here. He was holding an oil umbrella, and his body ratio was high. He had come to see Zhuohua. Up to now, he couldn't believe that such a living person would suddenly disappear like this, but no matter how many times he came This time, he failed to enter the gate, and failed to see Zhuohua.

Today, too.

Through the gate, Xie Junnan stepped out. His eyes were gloomy, like cold swords, and he stared at Wu Linqing.

Wu Linqing also frowned slightly, he was not surprised that Xie Junnan would be here, after all, it was Xie Junnan who took Zhuohua away that day.

but……

Xie Junnan, who got off the stairs, suddenly shot at Wu Linqing and knocked out the oil umbrella in Wu Linqing's hand.

Outside the gate, the two of them were standing here, facing each other, not seeing the slightest friendship in the past.

"Zhuohua is really not dead, is he?" Wu Linqing was still not reconciled.

Xie Junnan didn't reply, he just took two steps towards Wu Linqing, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked Wu Linqing.

Outside the gate of the General's Mansion, the two of them fought into a ball in an instant. In the end, Wu Linqing was kicked in the chest by Xie Junnan, and hit the ground hard, spitting blood.

With a roar, Xie Junnan pulled out the long sword worn by the guard, and was about to stab Wu Linqing——

"Xie Junnan!" Someone shouted at the gate, stopping Xie Junnan's movements for the time being.

It was Han Su, he came out from inside, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xie Junnan: "If you kill him, you will also be sanctioned! It's not worth it!".

Who in the General's Mansion would not want to kill Wu Linqing to avenge Zhuohua?

But as Han Su said, killing Wu Linqing rashly is something that cannot be tolerated by the national law, and he must also be sanctioned by the national law. It is not worth it for a Wu Linqing.

Staring at Wu Linqing sullenly, Xie Junnan pursed his lips tightly. He turned his wrist and only drew scars on Wu Linqing's body. Then he waved the long sword and entered the sword at the guard's waist. Sheath.

Taking a deep breath, when Xie Junnan opened his eyes again, his expression calmed down a lot: "Wu Linqing, let's go, Han Su is right, it's not worth it for you to take care of me."

"Zhuo Hua..." Wu Linqing was still obsessed with the name despite his scars all over his body.

White silk was hung up in the general's mansion, and the funeral was announced to everyone. Even Wan Qixiu asked the emperor for leave because of this. Xie Junnan took the man away, it was obviously his husband and wife, how could he let outsiders take him away?

It is said that Zhuohua died, how could that be possible, even if Zhuohua was beaten by his grandmother that day and was injured and bled, it shouldn't be so easy to die.

He doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it anyway.

Zhuohua's name came out of his mouth, not to mention that Xie Junnan clenched his fists tightly, even Han Su couldn't help but stepped forward to punch him and grabbed his clothes: "Wu Linqing! Zhuohua is dead! He was killed You were killed by the Wu family! When Xie Junnan sent him back, he was no longer good! If you keep messing around like this, if you were to be beaten to death directly by Wan Qixiu, you would only be scolded by the emperor! But are you so interesting? When Zhuohua was around, you never cherished him! After he died, you showed a deep love and untiring appearance, who would you show it to!".

Xie Junnan shook his sleeves violently, he raised his head and took a deep breath: "Why are you talking so much to him? If he understands, Zhuohua won't...".

Wu Linqing raised his head with some difficulty: "I just... want to see Zhuohua again...".

"Impossible!" At the gate, Wan Tuxiu came stridingly, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and threw them all at Wu Linqing as soon as he stood still.

Wu Linqing was stunned, and slightly opened his eyes.

The papers fell out and fell to the ground, only to be wet by the rain in an instant.

Wu Linqing blinked, and he stretched out his hand to pick one up. He could barely see a few words full of grievance and sadness written on the blurred handwriting...

"These are all letters sent to me by someone from Zhuohua, but I haven't received any of them. These letters were all seized by someone from your mother. If it wasn't for something wrong with Zhuohua, I would have someone check it out. I don’t know, you Wu Linqing and your Wu family are actually such a person! Just because I refused to help you speak to the emperor, you treat Zhuohua like this! Marry a wife! You will plan very well!”.

Mentioning those things, Wan Qixiu also gritted his teeth.

This is the kind of people in this world, they don't rely on their own ability, they insist on nepotism, once someone refuses to agree, even relatives can turn their backs immediately if they say it.

Although Wan Qixiu hates nepotism, as long as Wu Linqing treats Zhuohua well, Wan Qixiu may not refuse to help him after two or three years.

But Wu Linqing didn't know about these.

The sky was muffled by thunder and thunder, and the sound of rain was rushing.

Wu Linqing fainted because of his injuries, and in the end he was carried back by servants of the Wu family.

Xie Junnan stood there, he was already drenched all over, squinting his eyes slightly, looking up at the gloomy sky, Xie Junnan stroked the rain on his face, then suddenly stood in front of the gate of the General's Mansion, towards the gate of Xiangguo Temple Xiang knelt down.

Both Wan Tuxiu and Han Su were startled, and hurried forward to pull him: "Silang, what are you doing?".

Xie Junnan bowed his head to the ground and replied: "Puguang Chan Master of Xiangguo Temple said that if I want Bodhi wood, I need to show my sincerity. As long as I kneel three times and kowtow nine times, I will enter Xiangguo Temple to reach the Bodhi Buddha statue. Here, perhaps he can give me the bodhi wood."

Wan Tuxiu was shocked: "Kneel three times and knock nine times? In this weather, you have to go all the way to Xiangguo Temple if you don't die or die!".

"It's okay, I'm strong and can bear it." Xie Jun Nanhun didn't care.

Han Su wanted to say more, but he heard Wan Tengxiu say: "The weather is gloomy these few days, and Zhuohua can wait a little longer. When the weather clears up, he can't wait. This matter cannot be delayed."

How could Zhuohua, who was already dead, not be able to wait?

What I can't wait is Zhuo Hua's body, the longer it is left, the more unfavorable it will be, if the weather gets hotter, the body will still stink, how could Xie Junnan dare to delay.

It was raining heavily, although there were thunderstorms, but fortunately there was no lightning.

In front of the general's mansion, Xie Junnan knelt and kowtowed all the way, bent over, touched his forehead to the ground, every time he did it, he did it very well.

When Chen Shi and Li Mu heard the people coming in to talk about it, they ran out of the door in a hurry. Xie Junnan kneeled and kowtowed three times, and he had already walked to the street, attracting people from the restaurants on the left and right, and under the eaves to watch.

Chen's eyes were red. She didn't understand why Xie Junnan did this, so she ran out in the rain and held him back: "Silang! It's raining so hard, what are you doing? Why are you doing this?".

Xie Junnan got up and walked three steps forward, knelt down and kowtowed: "Auntie, it's raining heavily, you should go back quickly, lest you get sick later."

"Shiro... why are you like this...".

Xie Junnan only said: "I want to ask for bodhi wood. The bodhi wood in Xiangguo Temple is said to have spirituality. If I can get one for Zhuohua, it will also make him walk on the road to hell."

Chen was obviously stunned, and stared at Xie Junnan blankly with wide eyes, but couldn't say another word.

Xie Junnan bypassed Mrs. Chen and continued to move forward, kneeling at three steps and knocking at nine steps. Not to mention Mrs. Chen didn't pull him up, even the old matriarch of Xie's mansion and others couldn't pull him up. Xie Junnan pulled it up...

What the hell is he doing?

Others don't know, but Xie Junnan knows it in his heart.

He was... making amends, and it was also to make himself feel better.

Back then in Jiuxi Village, if he could go further and understand his intentions earlier, Zhuohua would not be deceived by Wu Linqing, would not follow Wu Linqing to the capital, and in the end...one dead body and two lives...

And these all happened, but then?Where are you?

escaped.

At that time, Xie Junnan couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't bear to see Wu Linqing showing off to him from time to time, so he couldn't help running away. He felt at ease when he left, but Zhuohua was getting worse day by day, and finally... like that.

How nice would it be to do it all over again?

If he could do it all over again, Xie Junnan would not give Wu Linqing another chance to coax Zhuohua. He would definitely catch Zhuohua in time and bring him back to the capital.

There is no repeat.

It rained heavily for a day and it was dark. Xie Junnan finally went to the Xiangguo Temple again. He staggered and his face was pale, but the firmness in his eyes remained undiminished. Finally, he entered the temple gate and came to the temple. Before the Bodhi tree...

The rain has dropped sharply, only the cold wind is blowing.

All the monks were astonished, and they couldn't help looking up to the sky.

Xie Junnan didn't realize it, he just came to the Buddha statue under the bodhi tree, knelt down and kowtowed, and sincerely prayed that Zen Master Puguang would give him a bodhi tree, all he wanted was one...

There was a muffled thunder in the night sky, but the rain suddenly stopped.

In the meditation room, Zen Master Puguang opened the door and came out. Looking at the figure kneeling in front of the Bodhi Buddha statue, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly and sighing softly.

Xie Junnan heard the movement and looked up at him: "Zen Master...".

Zen Master Puguang didn't speak, he just stepped forward, broke off a branch of a bodhi tree from the side of the Buddha statue, and handed it to Xie Junnan: "Just put it in your mouth."

Xie Junnan's eyes lit up suddenly, he took the branch of the bodhi tree, kowtowed to Zen Master Puguang again, then suppressed his emotions, and left Xiangguo Temple overnight on the slippery mountain road.

Inside the temple, in the landscape building, there is a man in a white Taoist robe standing here with Zen Master Puguang, both of them are looking in the direction of Xie Junnan.

"Xie Zhen is an idiot. His great-grandson, I didn't expect that compared to him, he is nothing like grandchildren." The man sighed softly, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.

Zen Master Puguang uttered the Buddha's name, and then said: "The fate is not over, let me help you."

The man turned around and left, leaving only a casual voice in the ears of Zen Master Puguang: "I will not waste my cultivation for this kind of fool."

Zen Master Puguang only looked at the direction of the foot of the mountain, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "If you don't want it, someone else is willing."

Who is willing?

No one knows about it except Zen Master Puguang.

And Xie Junnan, after getting the bodhi wood, he couldn't wait to go back to the General's Mansion, but after such a toss, when he arrived at the General's Mansion, it was already daylight.

Xie Junnan, who was in a state of embarrassment, was completely different from the suave and suave appearance of Wang Xili, but everyone who saw him was surprised. Xie Junnan ignored their gazes, and only went back to the room after taking a simple bath, then got up to go The mourning hall.

Inside the coffin, Zhuo Hua was lying inside, his face was peaceful as if he was asleep...
