Jiaochu

After Ye Lingxi entered the temple with the grains and bells, he went to the main hall to burn three sticks of incense. A young novice came over to inquire. Seeing that Ye Lingxi was not very old and there was no elder around to take care of him, the young novice was a little surprised. After all, this was the first time I saw a young girl who dared to go up the mountain alone.

Seeing the other party's doubts, Ye Lingxi explained that she had sneaked out from home, and shushed the little novice again, asking the little novice to keep it a secret, which surprised the little novice even more.

"Is there a guest room here? I want to take a rest." Ye Lingxi asked calmly.

The little novice monk was stunned for a moment, then led the master and servant to the backyard.

To the east of the backyard is a garden for pilgrims to rest.

On the way, Ye Lingxi asked the little novice about Mrs. Su's coming to offer incense and called her aunt. The little novice thought that the two families were relatives and replied that Mrs. Su had arrived in the afternoon the day before yesterday and stayed in the temple for one night. Heaven went back. After walking for a while, Ye Lingxi asked Mr. Jin again. The little novice was a little strange, but he answered truthfully that Mr. Jin came three days ago, stayed in the temple for two nights, and left yesterday morning.

After entering the garden, Ye Lingxi asked casually, "Does Master Jin live here?" The little novice monk quickly waved his hand and explained that this was where the female family members lived, and pointed her in the direction. The male family members lived here. Front.

Ye Lingxi looked over there. A gust of wind passed by, and there was the sound of rustling bamboo leaves. The little novice monk told her that there was a bamboo forest behind, and few people usually went there. Seeing that she was young, he reminded her that it was easy to get lost.

The young novice led the three masters and servants to the door of a guest room and asked for more information. When they were about to leave, Ye Lingxi said that she was hungry. The young novice asked her to wait, saying that someone would bring her fast food later.

After the little novice monk left, Ye Lingxi found a vantage point in the yard and took out her telescope to observe the bamboo forest carefully. She thought that Mr. Jin didn't look like someone who knew how to eat fast and worship Buddha, so he came to the temple on the mountain outside the city. , there must be something weird, maybe there is some ulterior purpose, the bamboo forest is connected to the back mountain, it is really a good place for a private meeting in the dead of night.

The loud bell rang, and it was noon.

It was the young novice who brought the vegetarian food over.

Three dishes, one soup, and vegetarian steamed buns.

Ye Lingxi wasn't too picky either. He ate until he was seven to eighty percent full. Being too full would make him sleepy easily, but the vegetarian steamed buns in this temple were really good. Lingdang ate a plate of steamed buns by herself, and planned to take ten or eight of them with her when she went back. Ye Lingxi moved her legs and legs and asked Hehe and Lingdang to stay. She first went to explore the way in the bamboo forest. The two were worried, so she performed a few hard and soft punches on the spot.

The bamboo forest is deep and quiet. The bamboos grow exceptionally tall and straight, and the bamboo leaves rustle like the sounds of nature.

Ye Lingxi observed the surroundings with a telescope, and suddenly saw someone falling to the ground in front of her. She immediately ran over and helped the person up. When she saw the other person's face, she was slightly stunned. She didn't expect him to be so good-looking~

She had seen the other party's plain clothes through the lens before, and thought she was some old woman who went up the mountain to pick bamboo shoots, but her face was obviously less than thirty, with beautiful and fair facial features, and a demure temperament. However, her makeup was a little plain, and she looked Slightly chilly.

"Sister, are you okay?" Ye Lingxi asked obediently.

Hearing the name sister, Su Hui smiled and said, "You little girl has such a sweet mouth." Then she looked around again and asked her why she came here alone. Ye Lingxi replied that she wanted to see bamboos.

The two hit it off and chatted all the way back.

Su Hui brought Ye Lingxi back to her residence and asked Gingko to prepare tea for him. Ye Lingxi saw the other party living alone in a courtyard, and thought she was a female lay practitioner who was practicing meditation here.

After entering the house, Ye Lingxi saw a chessboard on the table with unfinished chess games on it, so she thought about the chess strategy. Seeing this, Su Hui asked her if she wanted to play chess, and then the two started playing chess.

After a while, a little maid came in to report that Guard Meng was back. Ye Lingxi glanced out the window and saw a slender figure walking in. His eyes were covered with a black cloth, as if he was suffering from an eye disease and couldn't see. Light.

The man stood outside the door and bowed, then withdrew. He didn't say much and looked taciturn. After playing chess, Su Hui stayed with Ye Lingxi to talk for a while, and then asked Ginkgo to send her back.

When the carriage went down the mountain, the sun was almost setting.

When the carriage entered the city, the sunset began to sink into the horizon, and the fiery red sunset illuminated most of the sky, rendering the green mountains in the distance into magnificent colors.

Ye Lingxi lifted the car curtain and glanced back. The setting sun was like fire in the sky, and the slanting shadow of the cold mountains in the distance. The magnificence and coldness intertwined to create an illusory and strange tone. Listening to the sound of the bell ringing in the distance, the lingering sound echoed in the vast sky. Between heaven and earth, a desolate mood gradually grew. She put down the car curtain and turned her attention to Mr. Jin. There must be something weird about him.

When she lowered the car curtain, a figure passed by on horseback and headed in the direction she came back from.

When Yanfei entered the temple, it was already dark. He originally wanted to ask Master Wu, who was responsible for the food and accommodation of the pilgrims, but he was already in meditation in the meditation room and could not disturb him, so he asked the young novice monk who had received Mr. Jin a few days ago to inquire and learned that the other party It came three days ago. Yan Fei also felt strange and asked other questions.

"Did he come alone?"

"Master Jin also brought two young men with him."

"Have you been here before?"

"Master Jin also came here last month and stayed here for two days."

Yan Feixin asked when did Mr. Jin like to burn incense and worship Buddha. While thinking, a slender figure came over and was waiting nearby. Yan Fei let the little novice go first and followed him to the backyard.

On the way, Uncle Meng asked, "Is Miss Su okay?" Yan Fei nodded and said yes. Uncle Meng continued in a slightly hoarse voice, "There was movement in the bamboo forest last night. I went to take a look. Someone was blocking Miss Su and not letting her leave." Yan Fei asked, "What then." Uncle Meng said, "I walked around in a circle, but the other person thought he had seen a ghost and ran away."

After entering the yard, Ginkgo greeted her with a happy face, as if she had something good to say. On the way, she quietly revealed to Yan Fei: "Madam brought a little girl back as a guest today."

Listening to this meaningless sentence, Yan Fei didn't know why.

Then what Ginkgo said next made him feel a little complicated.

"That little girl is very pretty. Madam likes her very much. I think she is a perfect match for the young master."

Ginkgo sighed again: "It's a pity that I don't know whose daughter she is."

Yan Fei felt relieved.

Ginkgo added: "I will ask you carefully when we meet again next time."

Yan Fei said: "No need."

But looking at Ginkgo's confident look, it seemed like she didn't listen.
