I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 68 Butterfly
The woman in the wedding dress lowered her head, her knees were slightly bent, she couldn't see her face clearly, only her white chin could be seen.

She kept this posture, stepped back slowly, and got out of the way, and the scene in the room came into Gu Yao's eyes.

Square and square, without windows, thick red candles are placed in the corners of the room, the candles are faint, and the light fills the room.

The surrounding walls are bookcases filled with densely packed books.

In the middle is a low square table with cushions around it. On the table is a pair of neat candles, a pile of red and gold silk threads in a bamboo pocket, and a half-embroidered mandarin duck handkerchief on the table. side.

"Why didn't you come in? Do you regret it?" The voice of the woman in the wedding dress trembled.

"No, I was just in a daze for a while."

Gu Yao cast the Golden Light Curse and walked slowly into the house.

The room was very stuffy and hot. After walking a few steps, I felt a little out of breath. Lin Fengxue followed Gu Yao's buttocks, not daring to raise his head.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the woman in the wedding dress wanted to close the door, but Gu Yao stopped her: "The room is a bit stuffy, so just leave the door open."

"En." The woman hummed softly, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law, sat on the side of the mandarin duck veil, and whispered softly: "Sit down."

Gu Yao sat directly opposite her, and Lin Fengxue sat behind him, not daring to show his head.

Seeing the woman's posture, Gu Yao felt a little nervous. When he was thinking about what to say, the woman said shyly, "You came here before the time came."

"Well, it's a little early."

"Why did you change the master of ceremonies? Where is Hou Shengjin? Didn't you say he will be the master of ceremonies?"

Is Hou Shengjin the ancestor of Master Hou?

Gu Yao quickly made up his mind. If so, then this nunnery was built a hundred years ago. It should have been destroyed at a certain moment, and the woman should have died at that time.

Previously, he had practiced the technique of connecting the secluded, and the buildings here were like the moon in the water, swaying and blurring from time to time, which proved that this luxurious nunnery is not real.

Gu Yao noticed that the body of the woman in the wedding dress was trembling slightly, her head was already low enough to touch the table, and the red hijab also slipped off, revealing a head of black hair and a golden hairpin, as if he was feeling uneasy because he didn't answer.

Immediately said vaguely: "There was some accident, so I brought him here. His name is Lin Fengxue."

The woman seemed to be relieved, and raised her head slightly: "Yeah, I saw his robe, he is also from Jing Yesi."

There was another silence.

Gu Yao found a topic and said, "Your embroidered mandarin ducks look pretty."

The woman raised her head happily: "Really? Last time I embroidered mandarin ducks, you said they looked like ducks, so I embroidered ducks, and they really looked like mandarin ducks."

Only now did Gu Yao see the woman's face clearly.

Her face was as flawless and gentle as white jade, her eyebrows were slender, her eyes were big and round, and the dark pupils shone with the light of candle flames. At this moment, her red lips were raised, revealing a little dimple.

In terms of appearance alone, he can compete with Yu Yourong, but he looks too young.

I was a little scared at first, but after seeing this woman's appearance, I was convinced: "You are really smart."

She lowered her head and covered her mouth with a chuckle again, and said softly: "The senior sisters all said that you will not come, that you are only greedy for the money of Diemeng Temple, you will not come, I don't believe it, you really came, you really came gone."

"You're finally back."

"It's not the last time agreed, you came here"

She lowered her head, teardrops dripping with candlelight.

Gu Yao also had a rough idea in his heart.

Probably a hundred years ago, a man, together with Master Hou's ancestors, deceived the girl in front of him and left with the temple's money.

She was wearing a wedding gown and embroidered mandarin ducks day by day until the Diemeng Temple was destroyed.

Feeling pity in his heart, he said softly, "I'm back, don't cry, I'm going to cry like a disfigured kitten."

"Yeah. Die'er don't cry, you are back, Die'er is waiting for you, all the seniors are wrong, you are not greedy for money, you really need money to do great things"

The girl nodded her head humbly, and wiped her face with the half-embroidered handkerchief, revealing a few crooked duck handkerchiefs underneath.

"ah!"

The girl exclaimed again, and frantically rolled up the pile of ducks and hid them behind her back, revealing the bottom book: "You Ming Lu: A Chinese Girl's Departed Soul".

Just as Gu Yao saw the title of the book, the girl hurriedly picked up the book and hid it in her arms, and said with some embarrassment: "Me, me."

Gu Yao also knew this book, and had seen it in many women's boudoirs in Qinghe County. It was a miscellaneous novel about a woman's pursuit of love and rebellion against her father.

He smiled immediately and said, "It's okay, I've read this book too, it's very interesting."

"Really?"

She raised her head, glanced at Gu Yao quietly, saw that Gu Yao was also looking at her, and then lowered her head shyly, her white ears turned red.

Gu Yao smiled and nodded: "Die'er, how long have you been waiting for me?"

She stretched out her little hand, thinking under the table: "About a month after you left, the senior sisters said that I was cheated by you, they sent me here, and they didn't allow me to go out. They just asked Tuantuan to bring me meals every day. Never see me again."

"Tuantuan doesn't know how to speak, and was very punctual at first, but later on the delivery time was not accurate, so I counted the time by embroidering handkerchiefs."

"It took me four days to embroider a handkerchief at the beginning, but then I got faster. In just two days, I embroidered a total of [-] handkerchiefs."

She raised her head and smiled sweetly at Gu Yao: "I embroidered the handkerchief for a total of 290 days, 35 days before Tuantuan, plus the 340 days before I came in, a total of [-] four days."

"Am I right, villain?"

She tilted her head and looked at Gu Yao, with stars shining in her eyes and a smile in her dimples.

Gu Yao's heart trembled, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Die'er is really smart."

Three hundred and nine days.
In such a small and lightless large coffin.
I don't see the sun and the moon, I don't know the passing years.

Even though he's dead, he's still waiting for that person
"That's right, I've learned arithmetic." Her eyes were crooked like crescent moons.

Seeing her proud appearance, Gu Yao felt a little sour unconsciously.

At this moment, there was a cry of "Yo Yo" at the door. Gu Yao looked and saw a yellow-haired fox that had lost its hair seriously, sitting at the door with a bunch of grapes in its mouth, calling to the people in the room. people.

"Tuantuan, you are here!"

Die'er stood up happily: "Look, he's here, the seniors are all wrong, he didn't lie to me."

She stood up, ran over with the hem of her wedding dress in small steps, and hugged the fox: "Look, we've waited, we've waited."

"YoYo."

The fox howled feebly.

"It's okay, I practice very well, these grapes are enough for me to eat, you are so young, picking grapes is too hard, where is the senior sister?"

"Oh, by the way, he is here. The seniors should know that they are wrong. They haven't come to see me for 290 days, and they haven't given me a new book for 290 days."

"... "

"Well, I was stupid, he is here, we can go out together, we don't need to stay here"

Dier let go of the fox, stood up and ran to Gu Yao happily, and grabbed his hand: "Go, let's go out, I will take you to see the vines planted at that time."

The moment Die'er held Gu Yao's hand, golden light gushed out spontaneously, the sound stopped abruptly, and the world turned upside down.

The delicate and delicate little bride disappeared.

There was only a red-clothed skeleton covered in spider webs standing in front of him.

Gu Yao stood outside the door of the coffin house, and Die Er's dead bones stood inside the house, and they held hands.

Lin Fengxue had already fainted to the ground.

"Thank you young man. Die'er is finally willing to go."

The yellow-haired fox behind coughed and said.

A wind blew up in the dreary room.

Die'er's bones flew away with the wind and poured out of the house. In Gu Yao's hand, there was only a half-embroidered mandarin duck handkerchief.

"Why did she recognize me as that person?" After a moment of silence, Gu Yao tightened his handkerchief and held it in his hand.

"Your sword, that person back then also wore your sword."
