When Wugou saw that there were a group of male donors dressed in luxurious clothes, one of them was even more beautiful and graceful, and he was personally led by Master Zhike Steward Hui Ding, so he knew that the person's identity must be extraordinary, so he didn't dare to look any further, so he hurriedly Lower your head and step aside.
Xizhi was stunned for a moment, then woke up, nodded slightly, and followed Wugu to the side. Mu Ye also smiled softly at her. Although the two of them didn't speak, this glance was already overwhelming. Thousands of words can be said, and all the worries and joys are reflected in this one glance.
After coming out of the back hall, Xizhi never went anywhere else for sightseeing. Meeting Mu Ye today was enough for her, and she didn't expect anything more. Seeing her coming back, Qian Xinlan stopped her Zen discussion with Master Hui Yin and said with a smile, "How about it? Today is not in vain. Isn't the scenery in this temple any different from other places?"
"Well, it's really good, especially the murals in the back hall. They are simply exquisite and breathtaking." Xizhi nodded in praise.
Master Huiyin was busy at the side and ordered a table of high-quality vegetarian food to be brought. Soon several young nuns came over with food boxes. Every time a dish was served, Master Huiyin introduced it to Xizhi.
Xishan Taoist Temple also has vegetarian food, but Nianjing pays more attention to light and healthy food, and values ??the freshness and health-preserving effects of ingredients. Therefore, Xishan Taoist Temple is most famous for its medicinal diet. But Baiyi Guan is obviously different. He attaches great importance to the color, aroma and taste of the dishes. Every dish is exquisite and delicious, and you can see that a lot of effort has been put into it. I guess it's because Baiyi Temple is located in the capital and often receives dignitaries.
After lunch, the two of them only sat for a while and drank a bowl of Buddhist-flavored tea unique to the temple before leaving in a hurry. At this time, the temple was still bustling with people, including many ordinary folk women. People come in groups to burn incense and worship Buddha. Xizhi took a closer look and found that they were basically young wives and there were no boudoir girls.
So he asked out of curiosity: "Madam, why are the people who come to burn incense all those who have left the pavilion? Will they believe in Buddhism after they get married?"
Qian Xinlan couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but she just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled without saying a word, which made Xizhi feel a little baffled and didn't know what she said wrong.
Qian Xinlan's eldest girl Chuan'er next to her saw that Xizhi was a little embarrassed, so she smiled and explained: "The Fourth Miss doesn't know, because today is the birthday of Empress Guanyin, and there are rumors among the people that it is the best day to ask for a child. It worked, so they all came to pray for the queen to give her a child."
After hearing this, Xizhi understood the whole story. No wonder the aunt wanted to laugh at her. She was also a little embarrassed, so she smiled and changed the subject.
Xi Zhi was worried when he came, but he was full of joy when he returned. Although he only glanced at Mu Ye, he could see that although he had obviously lost weight, his face looked good and he was faintly happy. It seemed that Concubine Chen had indeed fully recovered. Xizhi was completely relieved. As long as her brother Ye was fine, her heart would be as calm as before.
Spring came and went, and in a blink of an eye it was the late spring season when the spring flowers withered and the plum blossoms turned golden. On this evening, as usual, Xi Zhi was hiding in a hidden corner of the garden to practice hidden weapons. He had been learning kung fu with Fu Shang for more than a year. Although he was still It's not that he's very proficient, but at least now there's no need for her to be there to guide him at all times.
But when I saw the light, I spun around and threw a handful of silver needles. Her posture was extremely elegant, as if she was dancing, but her shot was precise. The leaves of a crape myrtle tree opposite were instantly covered with slender needles. embroidery needle.
Xizhi walked over and took a look, shook his head, alas~ Although the accurate head was there, it was not strong enough and could not even penetrate the leaves. If it was pierced into a person, it might not have much effect. However, the embroidery needle is too light to work hard, not to mention that Xi Zhi has only been practicing internal skills for more than a year, so there is no way to solve this problem for the time being.
Recently, seeing that the situation has become much more stable than before, Fu Shang no longer feels comfortable staying in the Lin Mansion. She often runs out. In the past few days, she has even disappeared. Xi Zhi is hiding and practicing alone. A bit unmotivated.
"What's the matter? If you don't practice hard, why are you doing nothing here?" Suddenly a clear and sweet voice sounded from behind.
Xizhi felt happy in her heart, turned around and looked at the visitor with a smile like a flower: "Sister Fushang, you are back."
The person who came was none other than Fu Shang, but seeing that she was dressed in a bunt and looking dashing, she glanced at the crape myrtle tree and said with a smile, "Not bad. It's really rare to be so accurate in such a short period of time."
"But~ with my strength, if I really meet a bad guy, I won't even be able to pierce his clothes." After hearing this, Xizhi was not only unhappy, but also a little depressed.
Fu Shang smiled slightly, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. In fact, your progress is really good. But you can't learn external skills, while internal skills are??It may be achieved overnight, and it is impossible to achieve any results overnight. You must take your time. "
"Actually, I also understand this truth. Practicing must be done step by step and accumulated over a long period of time in order to be effective." After hearing this, Xizhi sighed slightly and said: "It's just that sometimes I can't help but feel a little upset, so I can't help but complain. It'll be fine after that, sister Fushang, don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Well, I also know your temperament, so I have always been at ease with you. In fact, you have almost learned the mental methods and skills. I can't help you with the rest. You are already slow. It's time to understand and practice." Fu Shang nodded and said calmly.
Xi Zhibingxue was smart and had been with her day and night for more than a year. He was familiar with her character. He keenly sensed something was wrong from her words. He raised his eyebrows at her in confusion and then remembered that Fu Shang had not done anything since he entered the house. I always dress up when I go to the rivers and lakes, but today is an exception.
"Sister Fushang, youare leaving my house, right?" Soon, Xizhi guessed it.
"Yes, I came today specifically to say goodbye to you. No matter what, you and I have been together for so long, and you have always treated me as your sister sincerely, so I can't leave without saying goodbye." Fu Shang expressed a slight expression. It dimmed for a moment, but soon he shook his head coolly, looked at Xizhi with open eyes and said.
Xizhi felt a little sad in her heart, but she still tried her best to put on a bright smile: "From the first day you entered my house, I knew that I had wronged my sister in this deep house, and you would have to leave sooner or later."
"Sister Xi'er, don't say that, speak your mind. When Uncle Yu asked me to come, I was indeed a little reluctant, but since I met you, I have changed my mind. If I can be a sister with you, I I'm very happy." Fu Shang said sincerely, holding her hand.
"I know." Xizhi nodded and held Fu Shang's hand in return. His big black and white eyes looked at her: "I come from a wealthy family, but I have always been envious of people like you who are free and happy. Gratitude.¡±
"I also understand that this can only be a dream. Even my mother can't help herself now, let alone me." A touch of melancholy appeared on Xizhi's face, and then he smiled and said: "But since you came, , although I still can't be like you, but at least it allows me to touch the world and know that the world is not as simple as I look like."
Fu Shang sighed, looked at her and said: "Sister Xi'er, in fact, the world has changed now, and I don't even know him anymore. My senior brother has returned to the capital these days, but I don't know him either. What are you busy with? I heard that the current situation at Yunyin Villa is not very good. I am worried and plan to go back and have a look."
At this point, he looked up and saw her hesitating to speak. Xizhi understood what she was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Since Sister Fushang is homesick, then go back. I don't have to worry here. Let my dad be more careful when I go out." Just send a few people to follow, not to mention the capital is much safer now than before."
Fu Shang knew that this was Xi Zhi comforting herself, fearing that she would feel uneasy. Besides, she had a free and easy temperament and was used to being informal, so she nodded and said: "Well, I won't be by your side to protect you. You remember to come and go by yourself." Be careful, this is a critical time for Master Yu, and someone might not understand why, and might be angry with you brothers and sisters. You should also remember to remind the two young masters to be careful during this time."
Xizhi's heart tightened after hearing this. She had not heard from her mother for a long time. Although Aunt Tao would send her a message every once in a while, the wet nurse always reported good news rather than bad news. She mainly asked about her situation. , not talking about her and her mother at all.
Now listening to Fu Shang's words, it seems that her mother's situation is not good. Thinking that Fu Shang has a straightforward personality and is compatible with her sisters, she has always talked about everything, so she tentatively asked: "Sister Fu Shang, my mother Is shein a bad situation now?"
"It can't be said that it's not bad. Uncle Yu has a clever plan and has been operating in the dark. Although he is obeying the orders of some emperor, he actually wants to take the opportunity to reorganize the world." Now Yu Bingxuan's Xizhi had already more or less guessed the matter, so Fu Shang had no intention of hiding it from her.
"For more than a year, the world has become a mess. Now Master Yu has united with some sect leaders and some famous senior masters to hold a meeting of the world in Tianshan to completely resolve these disputes." Fu Shang frowned. He frowned and sighed: "But now that Uncle Yu has come from behind the scenes to the public, some people have spread rumors that she did all this, and her purpose is to help the imperial court destroy the world, so I am a little worried. Someone will target you~"
When Xi heard this, he blurted out anxiously: "Then will my mother be in danger?"
"you putHeart, this is definitely not possible. Master Yu is now surrounded by several hidden masters and protected by our Yunyin Villa. There can be no danger. Fu Shang quickly explained, fearing that her worries would be in vain.
??
Then Fu Shang pointed out some small mistakes in martial arts to her, and the two chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Fu Shang smiled and said: "I'm leaving, and I may not come here again. In the future, If you have a chance, you can go to Yunyin Villa to find me. But~ I¡¯m afraid that time won¡¯t happen again.¡±
Fu Shang said with a self-deprecating smile, and without waiting for Xi Zhi's reply, she started her Qing Gong. She disappeared into the trees with a single click like a startled giant. Xi Zhi stood quietly in the wind alone, listening to the rustling leaves, a feeling of melancholy came to her heart. Maybe they would never see each other again in this life
