Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

At sunrise, the mountains are sloppy, and the morning bell frightens the birds.

The carriage couldn't continue to go up to the foot of the mountain. The slightly cold morning light broke into the carriage through the curtains. Although it was cold, it had a fresh taste, mixed with the fragrance of grass and dirt. To refresh one's spirit.

The driver opened the curtain to help me. As soon as I stood still and looked up, I saw the whole Xishan covered by the milky mist. The morning bells echoed in the mountains, and the scene became more and more peaceful, like the scene in the painting. general.

Xishan, I am finally here again.

The last time I came here, Huang Tianba took me here. A short year has passed, but there is nothing wrong with it.

The coachman helped me out of the car, and then stepped back to the side. The two guards were very polite and said to me, "Girls go up and wish, we are here to keep them from disturbing the girls."

This should also be explained by Pei Yuanfeng. I smiled and thanked them, then turned and walked up the mountain.

The fog is heavy in the mountains, and even the bluestone slabs are wet. The tips of the grass and green leaves on both sides are also stained with morning dew, reflecting the colorful clothes, which are colorful. Wearing a skirt, go up step by step.

Before reaching halfway up the mountain, I was exhausted.

My body is still not good. It is indeed a bit embarrassing to climb the mountain like this. I panted and looked up at the mountain road in front of me.

At this moment, there seems to be a person in front of me, smiling and looking down at me. The eyes of all kinds are warm in the mist. He gently raises his hand and hands a silk scarf to my eyes. .

Huang Tianba ...

When I think of him, I can't help but have a sour heart. If I go with him then, will everything be different?

But now-even if I do n’t have to look, I can think of my own wolf howling. If he saw it, would he be disappointed?

I grinned bitterly, sighed, and continued to walk slowly upward with my teeth.

Finally, arrived at Hongye Temple.

I walked too slowly. At this time, the mist had slowly dissipated. The green trees were lush, and the verdant color was exposed at the corner of the mountain temple. The monks could hear the sound of chanting in the early morning. Sandalwood permeates the mountainside, adding a stillness.

The gold lacquered Buddha statue still sits on the top like the past, looking down at the sentient beings with low eyebrows and eyes, seemingly affectionate and ruthless, I gently walked over and folded my hands for ten weeks, then turned and cast a piece of silver into the merit box .

The silver fell heavily and made a gurgling sound, just as two little Sami came over from the backyard, and when they heard the sound, they said to me immediately, "Thank you, my daughter."

I smiled: "Two little masters, I want to meet the abbot of your temple."

The younger Sha Mi immediately said: "Sorry, the master has a guest, but he will not be a guest for the time being."

I laughed: "It's true. I came to Guisi last year to make a wish, and today I vowed. I heard the abbot's preaching saying goes well, and I want to hear his preaching."

What did Xiao Shami want to say, the older one next to him kept looking at me, and then suddenly patted his head, saying, "I remember, you are the girl that Huang Ye brought last year!"

I looked at him with a smile and said, "The little master remembers me."

"Women, wait a minute." He whispered something to his little master. The little Sami nodded and ran towards him. He came over and looked at me up and down, and suddenly said "Did you become married, female donor?"

"what?"

I was caught off guard by this question, and I didn't know what the young monk thought, subconsciously: "Well."

"Where are you?"

"..." I frowned and looked at him, but saw that he was looking at me innocently, it seemed that I was really serious waiting for my answer, and I smiled bitterly in my heart: "I was suspended."

"Ah? Why don't you?"

"..." I looked at him, only blindly: "Because I-uh, don't follow the woman's way."

"What kind of womanhood isn't it?"

"..." I really couldn't cry this time: "Uh, nothing."

"Then you plan to marry again?"

"..."

This time, I couldn't stop it completely. I looked at the Buddha next to him with a cry and a smile, and couldn't help defamating in my heart--what the **** is this monk?

As soon as the words in my heart fell, a hand reached behind and slammed the back of the little Sami: "Is this what you asked?"

Looking up, he saw a tall, white-haired old monk walking out. He has a strong physique and a spirit, and especially his eyes are hidden under the white eyebrows. He smacked the little Sha Mi with one palm, and then embarrassedly asked me: "The poor monk stunned, the donor, the apprentice was rude."

"No, it doesn't matter."

"Master, why did you hit me?" The little Sha Mi touched his bald head, and grinned in a grievance: "Don't you say--"

"You still nonsense!" Said the old monk, "Everyone has their own fate, are you a mediator?"

"Oh ..." The little Sha Mi still had some grievances and retreated obediently.

I stood aside and looked coldly, faintly feeling a bit strange, what they said seemed to have something to do with me, but they couldn't make it clear, but the old monk walked over and gave me a respectful gift: " Make the female donor laugh. "

"where."

"I don't know why the female donor came to look for the poor monk. What's the matter?"

"Heard people say that the master cultivates in depth and wants to listen to the master's lectures."

He smiled a moment, "I don't know who made a fuss in front of the girl."

"Huang Tianba Huang Ye, and—" I smiled and looked at those refined and restrained eyes: "Yang Liufu, Liu Yin, Master Yang."

A smile on his face was still laughing, but his grey eyebrows trembled slightly, blocking the momentary confusion in those eyes.

He looked down at me for a moment, silent for a moment, and turned sideways and said, "Women's Zhaitang, please."

"Thank you."

I glanced at the little Sami next to me, smiled at him, and followed a moment to walk back.

.

This is my first visit to the backyard of Xishan Hongye Temple.

Generally speaking, women are not allowed to enter the backyard of the temple. Except for some dignitaries, only Hongye Temple is in the south, and there has been a "red leaf cream" history. I am afraid that the dignitaries who come here will not many. But as I walked along the path, monks passing by were not uncommon, and each bowed their heads to do their own work.

When I walked to the front of Zhaitang, I looked around. Several rooms were closed with portals, and there was a faint scent in the air.

Seeing me looking around, I said, "They have to go down to the mountain to fetch water after finishing their early lessons."

"Oh." I nodded and followed him into the door.

His Zhaitang was cleaned very much. There were two futons on the stone bed, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. A respectful invite me to sit up and sit with me, and then said, "One year ago the donor followed the yellow donor. Come to the temple together, but just go too hastily and have time to ask the donor for advice. "

Although there was something in my heart, when I mentioned that year, I still couldn't help asking: "Master and Huang Ye have known each other for a long time?"

"The days are not short."

"Then, does the master know where Huang is now?"

He glanced at me for a moment, with some vigilance in his eyes, and said, "Huang Shizhu left Yangzhou more than a year ago and has never returned to see the poor monks. I am afraid that he will travel everywhere."

...

Sure enough, he did not return.

Maybe now, he has really become married to Mu Hua girl, Yangzhou, and all the past in Beijing. Only in this way can he get a little peace in the troubled world.

I smiled a little in my heart, and looked at me for a while, then said: "However, the donor Huang knows the poor monk, the girl knows it, but Master Liu-he and the poor monk are not familiar, why does the donor say —— "

I smiled and looked up at him: "Although Master Liu and Master Liu are not familiar with each other, Master Liu was assassinated at Hongye Temple, and he has some relationship with the master."

As soon as I said this, his face changed immediately.

As soon as his face changed, I knew that today was the right time.

The atmosphere seemed a bit depressing, especially in this small Zhaitang. This tall monk sitting in front of him, although motionless, felt like a mountain. I still smiled and said, "Master rest assured, Lord Liu is a very rational person. In order not to implicate innocent people, he didn't say a lot of things. I will know in the next section that other people naturally told him. Do n’t forget that there were still assassins caught. "

"..." A quick glance at me, his eyes flashed.

"In fact, the last time Lord Liu came to Hongye Temple was to worship the people who died in Yangzhou City in the past, and it was also a statement of his court. When speaking of Lord Liu, he devoted himself to the people of the south, but he who stabbed him Not only did he hurt him, it hurt his heart. "

As soon as I heard these words, my face grew darker.

"The assassin ’s move seemed to be an act of righteousness, but the assassination of the imperial court was regarded as an act of rebellion. The pursuit of the imperial court was also legal. At that time, there was a **** storm. You know, who made the court pull the sword? "

Suddenly he smiled suddenly and said, "The female donor, the poor monk is a person outside the party, the donor said this to the poor monk, I'm afraid there are some--"

I also smiled: "Since the master is not interested in these things, let's discuss the Buddha with the master next."

"Oh? What does the female donor want to say?"

"During the Yongping era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, two senior monks, Zhu Falan and She Moteng, passed through the White Horse to Zhongtu and were stationed at the White Horse Temple. The Buddha has been circulated in the medium for thousands of years, but has been banned several times. Listen to Zen, does the master know what it is for? "

He smiled indifferently: "The world only cares about the immediate interests, refining the alchemy, and practicing Chengxianfeisheng, but no one wants to cultivate the afterlife, which shows that the world is short-sighted and foolish."

I nodded: "Yeah, the world does not cultivate the afterlife because the afterlife is not in sight. Then, some southerners can't see the court's efforts for the south, but only see that the untouchable citizenship is not abolished, and they are eager for quick success The imperial court, even assassinating the imperial court officials, was so intolerable that this was what the master said, short-sighted and foolish? "

A moment's expression sank again.

All of a sudden, Zhaitang became quiet. He looked at me and said slowly after a long time, "what is the female donor?"
