Manchu civil and military bow down

After descending the mountain, he found a clothes shop. Xu He changed his clothes. The beautiful beauty in a red dress lifted the curtain and came out, turning into a dashing young man in black, with exquisite features and a straight waist.

After Xu He paid the bill, he tore the red silk at the back of his hair, because he was too clumsy to fix a crown and put a hairpin, so he just let his hair fall down.Putting on the men's clothes, he felt a lot more relaxed. He felt that the anger that had been pent up in his heart for a long time dissipated, and he felt much more beautiful.

Xu He said, "Do you think I'm handsome?"

I don't know how to sneak a look at him, stroked the curtain: "You have to show some face."

"Tsk."

Xu He ignored him and immersed himself in boundless joy.

The place where I don't know where to go, outside the capital city, is a mountain with no name.

The road up the mountain is also overgrown with weeds because no one walks it all year round.

Xu He took a wooden branch and learned to scare the snake, "I said, what are you doing in this barren mountain?"

I don't know what to say: "Take something."

Xu He turned his head, a little surprised: "Monk, your tone is not right."

I don't know how to ignore him.

Xu He patted the grass with the wooden branch in his hand, and had a premonition in his heart. When he got to the top of the mountain and saw the deserted temple covered by vegetation and in chaotic light and shadow, this premonition came true.

This is probably the temple I didn't know I stayed in before. Many places have become ruins after the fire, and I don't know what will cause this catastrophe.

Before the cave gate, I didn't know how to raise my head and compared the height with my hands.

Xu He said generously: "If you feel hurt, you can cry directly in front of me, without putting on airs like a holy monk." Anyway, I already know what you are like.

I didn't know how to glance at him, then withdrew my hand: "What hurts?" From his current voice, he really couldn't hear any sad emotions, it was the same as his usual tone when he was pretending to be aggressive.

Xu He: "You didn't speak like this just now."

I don't know smiled and said: "Yo, you can also read words and expressions, really amazing."

Xu He: "I'm afraid you want to be beaten."

Before the temple was burned, it was probably very cold and pitifully small.As far as the yard is concerned, places for eating, chanting, and sleeping are crowded together, and there is a well in the middle of the yard, which is now covered with weeds.There are scorched and burnt marks on the corner of the wall.

I don't know when I walked to the dry well, stopped for a while, and said, "When I was young, this well was basically occupied by me."

Xu He didn't understand what he meant, so he just asked, "What."

I don't know the half-squatting posture, the monk's clothes fell on the barren weeds, and his fingers picked up a small piece of soil, like a Buddha picking up flowers. "It's the job of carrying water. Basically, I do it alone. Others in the temple don't like me and always bully me. Maybe it's because I have shown the roots of wisdom that they can't match since I was a child."

Xu He, who wanted to comfort him, took it back when he heard the latter words.

"I can't beat them again, so I can only bear it. What's the matter with carrying water and cleaning, it's basically covered."

Xu He didn't believe that he would be so submissive when he was a child: "Really? You didn't take revenge?"

I don't know how to let go of my hand, sand and soil fell from my fingertips, and when I got up, I was not stained with dust, and smiled at him, handsome and clear, "Of course I went back for revenge, and they dared to drink the water I picked? I basically spit it out and washed the mud .”

Xu He didn't know who to sympathize with, "What happened later?"

I don't know how to go forward: "Later, a big fire burned here. I happened to be exposed that day, and they beat me up and locked me in the abandoned wood house in the back mountain. Then... I escaped this disaster."

Xu He choked, the deserted mountain and the temple, and thinking about how many people had died here, he got goosebumps in broad daylight.

Quickly followed: "Then you are really lucky."

I didn't know how to stop, smiled, and said shamelessly: "After all, I am a person protected by the Buddha."

Xu He: The Buddha can be mad at you.

The firewood house is far away from the main temple, even over a small hill. The trees grow tall beside the temple, casting shadows in front of the old firewood gate.The chai door is locked.I don't know to take out the key.Push it away, and the old smell of dust hits you.In the turbid air and dim light, Xu He held his nose, and the first thing he saw when he looked up was a Buddha statue.

The golden body has long been peeled off and mottled, but the eyebrows are still benevolent and smiling, looking down at all living beings.Holding the lotus in the left hand and slightly opening the right hand, the extradition leads to boundless bliss.

I don't know how to explain: "I only found out after I was imprisoned here."

In an abandoned wood house, there is a smiling Buddha.

I don't know pointing to a futon that has already turned black and moldy under the Buddha statue: "I was two years old at the time. I just curled up here and slept."

"When I woke up and went out, the temple had been destroyed in the fire, and there was nothing left."

Xu He's mouth widened: "It's so amazing."

I didn't know how to raise my head, and met the Buddha's compassionate eyes.

In his memory, that night of lightning, thunder, bleak wind and rain, he slept very peacefully.

When the mind is united, everything is empty.

Xu He heard what he said, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Buddha statue was miraculous, and his expression was vivid.A sense of awe surged in my heart, I walked and looked to the right, looking for things.

I didn't know how to glance at him: "What are you doing?"

Xu He said: "Look to see if there is any incense. If it is so good, let me pay my respects."

I didn't know that I was stunned for a while, and smiled: "You really have a beautiful idea."

Xu He couldn't find it.But he still wanted to worship, and he didn't think the futon was dirty, so he opened his robe and knelt down.Xu He's wish is actually very simple. The last time he felt a bit of reluctance because of the eldest princess, he still broods on it - but he will leave sooner or later, and the only worry is the people around him.

Before praying, Xu He raised his head and looked up, wondering: "What should I do first?"

The light in this log cabin is very dim.

I don't know standing in front of the Buddha statue, looking down at Xu He's eyes.

The young man's eyes were dark and clear, full of doubts, every brow and eye was amazed, Hua Huaxuan was dressed in black brocade, and Ling Ling had long hair hanging down his waist.

I don't know how much I thought about it.

Think of the wonton shop in Xinghuayu.Think of the Jokhang Temple, Qingsonghai, think of the four Buddhist scriptures.Thinking of the smiling eyes of the boy who once looked like a flower god through the window.

The lotus in the palm began to become hot again.

Rolling around in the world of mortals, laughing and laughing, chasing fame and fortune - but false.

Since he was a child, his emotions and desires have been very indifferent, and from the beginning to the end, he has never been in a disturbed state of mind, because this young man has repeatedly turbulent.

... This kid is really a disaster, a sin.

long time.

I don't know with a calm and ethereal voice: "Just close your eyes."

Xu He was taken aback for a moment, the voice was like a cloud and a moon and a world of mortals, he almost thought that someone from outside the sky gave him the answer.

"Oh."

He obediently closed his eyes, knelt on the futon, and told the Buddha all his wishes.But because it came out of the blue, I didn't know where to start, so I started talking nonsense in my heart.

The young man has pious eyebrows and eyes, and his eyelashes cast quiet and soft shadows on his face.

Under the Huanghuang Buddha statue, I don't know how to look down at the lotus in my palm.Along the lines of the palm, bright red glowed.

When I was a child, the words I talked to the host rang in my ears.

The host said: I picked you up from the wooden basin and took you back to the temple. I saw lotus growing in your palm, and you were born with the wisdom root of Buddha's heart. ?

The still childish self smiled: Then blame it.

The host was furious, pointed at him "you you" for a long time, finally sighed, and said to him earnestly: "You are like this, how can you realize life and understand death, how can you convert all living beings."

The two-year-old boy was still smiling, and his voice was clear and indifferent: Then don't cross.

The host walked away angrily.

I don't know how to squat down slowly, and my robe dragged on the decayed and dry grass.

Under the veil, the eyes are like the blue sky washed by rain, and the holy light flows.

He put his palm on the boy's forehead.Skin-to-skin contact, the young man's skin was slightly cold, but it caused the blood under his palm to surge and sting.

Xu He opened his eyes, and his eyelashes swept across his wrist.After seeing it clearly, I was taken aback and let out a groan.

"what are you doing?"

I didn't know how to hold my hand, bent my index finger and tapped Xu He's forehead, and said: "See if you are sick and confused, you can believe what I made up - and, even if it is true, you knelt down so much I have prayed so many wishes for a long time, and I am simply greedy."

He stood up slowly, and under the hood showed that lazy expression again: "If I were Buddha, none of them would come true."

Xu He: "...fuck."

Damn it was cheated.

I don't know: "You actually spoke rudely in front of the Buddha."

Xu He picked up the candlestick next to him: "Believe it or not, I dare to beat people."

I don't know how to be afraid of him: "Why are you like this!"

Xu He got up from the futon, "I'm good enough."

I don't know leaning on the desk, involuntarily, bent slightly and smiled.

Xu He was depressed: "Aren't you here to get something, hurry up and get it."

I don't know: "Oh." After turning around, the palpitations stopped, and the emotions and desires were dull, and the burning heat and pain in the palm disappeared.

Just like when he was a child, he climbed onto the desk and walked behind the Buddha statue.

Xu He: "..." If you don't respect Buddha then, this monk is a fake.

I don't know how long I searched for it in the back, but I found a string of old and dusty Buddhist beads.

Xu He: "Is this the thing?"

I didn't know it was dirty, and I didn't even wipe the dust, so I put it on my left wrist: "Yes. This is my baby when I was young-I just remembered where I left it a few days ago."

Xu He: "It took me so long to think about it, I guess the treasure is gone."

I didn't know how to change hands, felt the weight, and smiled: "Guess."

At this time, there was a sudden boom in the sky.

Xu He: "Is it raining?"

When he went out, the weather suddenly changed, and it really started to rain, and it fell on the mountain, and the rain was misty and white.Xu He hurriedly retreated into the firewood house and stood at the door, speechless, lamenting his bad luck.The heavy rain was torrential, and the sound was loud, cutting off all sounds from the outside world.Raindrops splashed onto his hair and slowly soaked into his robe. The young man's neck was white and his collarbone was as beautiful as a butterfly about to flap its wings.He turned his head and asked bitterly, "When do you think the rain will stop?"

I didn't know how to look at him, and quickly looked away, saying: "It's just so unlucky to follow you."

Xu He: "...Get lost."

I don't know how to tilt my head, the holy monk who is admired by thousands of people, at this moment, there is restraint, restraint, and obscure cold struggle between the brows that are always smiling at this moment.The lotus flower is blood red, and the relic on the wrist weighs as much as a thousand catties.

woman

It didn't take long for the rain to stop, less than half an hour later.After being washed by the rain, the mountain looks completely new.Xu He went down the mountain and passed the mountain temple again. Looking at the scorched traces, he was still a little horrified: "How could there be a fire for no reason? Did the government find the real culprit?"

I don't know and said: "It is said that the bandits set the fire."

Xu He: "...there are bandits in this capital?"

I don't know how to laugh.

Xu He asked again: "So you passed by alone after that?"

I don't know how to nod: "Well, when I was young, I relied on the people in the village under the mountain to help me, and when I grow up, I can support myself."

Fooling people everywhere counts as self-sufficiency? ?

It's not easy for Xu He to hit him at a time like this, so he just asked, "Haven't you ever thought about re-entering a temple?"

I didn't know how to turn my head and glanced at Xu He: "Every day, the wooden fish with blue lanterns and Buddhist scriptures, am I crazy?"

Xu He was lying on his face: "...With your virtue, why are you still relying on being a monk! You don't even want to be a monk."

I didn't know how to pretend to be profound, and shook the Buddhist beads that I had just brought back on my wrist: "You don't understand this. Most people practice outside the Buddhist world, but I practice in the world. Ordinary monks have to cut off their emotions and desires, and listen to the Buddha. Zen, you have to be in this kind of poor and boring environment. I'm different——" I don't know turning around and smiling at him, even though I'm so foolish now.

The brows and eyes are clear and clear, just like an eminent monk who hides from the world after being enlightened.

Listen to him laughing every word.

"I was born, my desires were cut off, and what I said was Buddha Zen."

What Xu He admires the most is that he can always praise himself to the sky without blushing or beating his heart, and the boast really seems to be like that: "Yes, I don't know the master, ruthless and desireless, forever."

I don't know if I heard the thorn in his words, I wanted to refute, but then I thought of something, I bowed my head and didn't speak.

When Xu He returned to the General's Mansion dressed in black.

The eldest princess stared and was almost overwhelmed by him.

Xu He hurriedly raised his hand, saying that today he saw Master I don't know, Master Balabala, himself Balabala, and sister testified.

The eldest princess's expression recovered a little, but she was not at ease.

It wasn't until Xu He repeatedly assured that the brows slowly eased.

Xu He, who had changed back into a boy's outfit, couldn't be happier. He wished he could take a walk around the capital tomorrow and tell the world.

He used to wear skirts and walked carefully. The skirts of ancient skirts were very long and complicated. It was common for him to fall and fall at first, and he got used to it later.Changed into men's clothes, he looked fresh. Xu He liked to wear black when he was a child, because it was not obvious after being dirty, and it is still the same now. The eldest princess personally erected a crown for him and inserted a hosta horizontally. "It still looks comfortable like this."

The young man is tall and straight, with slightly loose robes, shoulders and waist slender, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a smile on his lips.

The temperament is noble and free and easy.

Xu He also felt that he was so comfortable.

What skirt to wear.

Mother chirping.

The eldest princess told him: "If you change back into men's clothes, don't fool around with those people."

fool around?Xu He felt a little guilty and said, "Am I that kind of person?"

The eldest princess smiled at him, and the more she looked, the more she was satisfied: "Recently, the empress's illness seems to have improved. They are all female relatives, but you can also follow them secretly. You are 15 years old, and you are not too young, if you see a girl you like, you can tell Niangyi."

Xu He: "..."

What else could he say, in order not to make her doubt, he could only smile awkwardly: "Well, I will."

He could only pray that there were not many tasks left.

After Xu He changed back into men's clothes, he really wanted to ride a horse and roam the flower streets and enjoy the youthful flair.

But thinking about the look in Xue Chengyu's eyes that night, he was still too timid to dare.

When it was Xue Chengyu's holiday, Xu He went to Xue's residence.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is still some distance away from the General's Mansion, and it's really the first time he has come to Xue's Mansion since he grew up - as soon as he got closer, he saw countless cars and horses parked. Only a small number of people can enter.

Seeing this battle, Xu He was so scared that the melon in his mouth dropped.

He had thought he would return without success.

Unexpectedly, when the doorman saw him, his eyes lit up first: "But the young master of the Xu family?"

Xu He scratched his head and said with a smile, "Yes."

The doorman groaned: "Are you here to look for the eldest son? I often hear people talking about you, but I saw you today. Come, come, and I will show you the way."

Xu He: "...???"

He felt like he was going through the back door.

The design of Xue's Mansion is more elegant, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, among the scattered rockery, full of greenery.Crossing the ancient bridge, the flowing water and tide circle the bamboo screen.Xu He thought, Xue Chengyu lived here when he was a child?

Xue Chengyu has lived in the palace for a long time now, but when he comes back, he also returns to the courtyard of his childhood. The courtyard is not biased, but it is quiet on the ground.

There are a lot of bamboo, a lot of grass and trees, and the stream bypasses in front of the cave. In the yard, there are flying pavilions, white pavilions, and rooms for various small objects, but more should be study buildings.

Xu He sighed, "You three young masters are indeed worthy of child prodigies."

The doorman smiled shyly: "Actually, we don't have much contact with the eldest son, and we haven't seen him a few times. The eldest son likes to be quiet, and he is also cold."

Xu He: "...Then how do you know me?"

The door servant smiled: "I heard what Madam said, it has spread in the house, you and the young master grew up together."

Fuck.Xu He stared, and then he could only laugh dryly: "Haha, is it?" I don't know if the Prime Minister's wife will be disappointed seeing his virtue.

He looked in the yard and found that there were really few people.After going around a rockery, Xu He saw the first girl he met in Xue Chengyu's yard.

The girl stood aside, wearing a purple dress, embarrassed.

Xue Chengyu was practicing calligraphy, and closed the door to all the people who came for others in front of Xue's mansion.Alone, sitting beside flowing water, mountains and rocks, wearing azure-colored long clothes, black jade crown, and a distant and indifferent face.

Xu He chuckled, and quietly asked the servant: "That maid is Brother Xue... Oh no, who is your eldest son?"

The doorman's scalp was numb: "...I just brought it back a few days ago, I don't know."

Xu He clicked his tongue, and asked again: "You really don't know? I think, with your eldest son's temperament, it must not be that simple to recruit a maid."

The doorman was about to cry: "...How dare we intervene in the matter of the eldest son."

The more Xu He thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he still wanted to ask.

He opened his mouth, and was interrupted by Xue Chengyu's cold voice.

"You'd better ask me than you can ask him."

Xu He: "..." Embarrassed.

Doorman: "..." Help.

Xu He looked back, Xue Chengyu looked over with ice-like pupils.

Xu He secretly said that he was overheard by the person involved, and Xu He smiled awkwardly, then walked over and sat opposite Xue Chengyu, "Isn't this curious?"

His eyes fell on the woman behind Xue Chengyu.

Wearing a purple dress, she has a beautiful figure, deep eyebrows and eyes, and has an exotic style.The woman in purple met his gaze and saluted in a panic.

Xu He smiled at her, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xue, when did this happen?"

He doesn't know how.

The pen in Xue Chengyu's hand was almost broken by him.

"You came here to ask this?"

of course not.

Xu He coughed, sat down, and said happily: "I didn't tell you last time, can I take off the skirt that is in the way soon-look, I will change it back now."

Xue Chengyu looked from top to bottom, and glanced at the young man's crown, hair, neck, and collar. The brocade clothes were expensive, and he thought of the bright and unprovoked color of his pomegranate dress, and the tenderness that was dotted between the brows in the palace.

Suppressing the regret in his heart, Xue Chengyu lowered his eyes and said, "Congratulations."

Xu He actually wanted to ask "Are you handsome", but he didn't dare to ask.

He usually doesn't like to gossip, but when he saw the woman in purple for the first time, he was horrified and curious as if he had seen a ghost, and his heart was itchy: "...this woman?"

Xue Chengyu said, "Don't ask too many questions."

Xu He: "..."

You just said that it would be better to ask you than to ask him!

Xue Chengyu saw his aggrieved expression.

Holding the pen, paused, and said: "You will know later."

Xu He: "Okay."

Xue Chengyu put down his pen, stood up, and told the book boy to tidy up the place.
