Chapter 161
Fahua Nunnery is located on the side of a mountain in Shilidi in the western suburbs, with more than ten acres of land, a small mountain gate, and an old pagoda tree in front of the gate, which was planted by Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty. It has a history of 200 years. up.Villagers say that this old locust tree has become a spirit, and every night when the people are quiet, the locust tree spirit will come out to wander. The rumors spread so loudly that the villagers dare not go up the mountain. Fahua nunnery, which was once full of incense, was almost a Buddhist temple. Later, under the interference of the government, the rumors were cleared up, and Fahua Nunnery gradually became more populated. Even so, it was still much more depressed than before.

When the Luo family arrived, it was already noon, there was a light rain in the sky, and there were no pilgrims at the entrance of the nunnery.

Cheng Qing parked the mule cart in front of the door, and when Xiang Lan and Xiqiao got out of the cart first, Luo Tiandu jumped down, covering his head with one hand, holding the hem of his skirt in the other, and rushed towards the nunnery. It didn't make sense to call her later.

"This child!" Fang sighed.

Xiang Lan said with a smile, "Little lady is lively and cute, what's wrong with that?"

Fang said "Hey", not knowing what to say.

A female nun from Fahua Nunnery had heard the commotion and came out. Seeing Fang's group, she sang "Amitabha Buddha" and asked, "Are the benefactors wanting to rest their feet, offer incense, or perform rituals?"

Fang couldn't directly say that he was seeking a son, so he said: "I heard that the Bodhisattva in Fahua Temple is very effective, so we want to come here to offer incense and pray for peace."

The nun understood, and said, "The benefactor, please."

Because Cheng Qing was a male guest, Mr. Xiang led him to a row of wing rooms outside the nunnery for male guests to rest. Fang Shi, Luo Tiandu and others followed the nun into the nunnery.

Fahua Nunnery is no different from the nearby nunnery. The main hall enshrines Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and there is another statue of Zhusheng Empress next to it, holding a small doll in her hand. Avalokitesvara is gone.She didn't actually believe this, but Fang had been worried about the issue of his heirs, and was eager to come. Even if she didn't support her, she couldn't pour cold water on them, so she thought it was just spending money for comfort.

The nun led them to the main hall, put two sticks of incense, added a few sachets of sesame oil money, then led them around the main hall, turned several turns along the side path, and finally arrived at a row of small courtyards.The small courtyard was also made of blue bricks and white walls. It could be seen that it was a bit old, but it was kept very clean. There were two nuns outside the courtyard who were sweeping the snowy branches and leaves on the ground. Seeing them coming, they clasped their hands together and saluted. Turn around and do your own work.

The nun led them to the room on the left in the middle. There were only simple decorations in the room. There was a brazier in the middle. It seemed that the charcoal fire was about to be ignited. It seemed that the nun in the nunnery had newly burned it and brought it specially for them. They keep warm.

Luo Tian watched it all and was very satisfied.

Knowing that they hadn't eaten, the nun asked someone to bring them a fast meal, and said: "The master of the nunnery is reciting scriptures, and the benefactor has come from a long way. Let's have some tea and rest for a while." After finishing speaking, she clasped her hands and recited "Amitabha", Then he turned and said goodbye.

Fahua Temple's vegetarian food tastes pretty good. Although it is all vegetarian, there is no oily water. However, during the Chinese New Year, everyone eats enough oily water and is a bit greasy. At this time, eating some light vegetarian food is more appetizing. In short, this Luo Tian ate something for dinner and was very satisfied.

After dinner, Luo Tiandu sat with Fang Shi for a while, and the nun in front of her who led them into the nunnery came forward. The Taoist priest had finished reciting scriptures, and asked Fang Shi to come and see her.

Fang asked Luo Tiandu and sister not to run around, and took Xiang Lan to talk to the nunnery master, leaving Xiqiao to take care of Luo Tiandu and sister.

Luo Tian didn't have anything to do, so he wandered around the backyard.

The wing rooms in the backyard are also separated. On one side live the nunnery master and other nuns in the nunnery, and on the other side where they are staying now, it is exclusively for female guests to rest. There is a side door between the two wing rooms. , are connected to each other, and female nuns or female guests can also enter and exit through this side door if they have anything to do.Going in along this door, I don't know how many corridors, winding and winding, and finally came to a courtyard.The yard was huge, but it was much more desolate than the previous one. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the walls of the porch were covered with dust and cobwebs. It could be seen that no one had lived there for a long time.

She walked around and felt a little bored. When she was about to go back along the original road, she suddenly heard a woman crying faintly from the other side of the wall. The crying was drowned in the sound of rain, intermittently, Not very real.

For some reason, she thought of the rumor about the locust tree spirit, and the hairs on her back stood on end.It happened that there was a pile of rotten wood next to her, so she picked a convenient one, held it in her hand, followed the crying, and slowly turned to the back door of the yard.

Out of this door, it is the wilderness.

The door was ajar, and the lock was rusty, as if it hadn't been used for a long time.Luo Tian walked over to have a look, only to realize that something was wrong, the door was obviously kicked open by violence.

Her heart trembled, she raised her weapon, and held her breath to look through the slightly closed door.With just one glance, Luo Tian was shocked.

Standing with his back to the door was another man with a long sword hanging from his waist. His figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree. The rain-soaked black suit was tightly attached to his body, outlining his beautiful and smooth muscles. Hair, full of a cruel sense of beauty.

Not far from the door, a man and a woman hugged each other and fell to the ground.Although the woman looked embarrassed, Luo Tiandu recognized it, she was clearly the daughter of the official servant, Liu Jinxiu; Luo Tiandu didn't know the man hugging her.

"Wei Que, you villain, don't even think about hurting sister Xiu!" The man was covered in mud, with a hint of fear on his face, but he held Liu Jinxiu tightly in his arms, as if he was protecting some rare treasure.

Despair flashed across Liu Jinxiu's beautiful and weak face, she tremblingly said: "Bo Xi, we have agreed that we will be born with the same quilt and die with the same acupuncture point, since he has found it, at worst we will die together, I am absolutely I won't marry you, the devil."

Wei Que mocked coldly: "What a pair of adulterers!"

Although Lu Boxi was a little scared by Wei Que's aura, he still defended: "Jinxiu and I really love each other, and I will never let her marry a villain like you."

Wei Que was condescending, and slowly said word by word with that strange tone of voice: "Oh? You are a guy who lives on the protection of his ancestors, how can you prevent her from marrying a villain like me?"

Lu Boxi seemed to be stimulated by his words, and screamed: "I'm the only one in Xiumei's heart. If you, the devil, hadn't gotten in the way, she would have been my Lu Boxi's honest wife!"

Wei Que sneered and said, "Why don't you go to the door early to ask for marriage if you like? Wait until His Majesty Jinkou Yuyan bestows the marriage before you say it. Liu Jinxiu can only marry me in this life, even if she dies, she can't marry you. "

"Wei Que, I curse you, I wish you could die now, you don't want me to marry you." Liu Jinxiu heard this and seemed to scream, but Lu Boxi tightly covered her mouth .

Hearing this, Luo Tiandu suddenly realized.She didn't expect that the scene where the noble girl was dissatisfied with her marriage and eloped with her lover secretly, which was always only found in operas, unexpectedly caught her.Years ago when she went to the outer city to pick up a wooden sign, she met Liu Jinxiu's maid coming out of the pawnshop, presumably to raise money for Liu Jinxiu.From this point of view, Liu Jinxiu's elopement with her lover was not a temporary idea, and had been planned for a long time.She couldn't help but think of the scene she ran into during Zuo Qingzhi's birthday party, presumably Liu Jinxiu was meeting this uncle at that time, maybe from that time on, the two had made an appointment to elope.This Liu Jinxiu was quite intelligent, she eloped with her lover, and knew that she had to prepare enough money, instead of going away with her empty-handed as soon as she got hot-headed like in the novel.

And it takes courage to cuckold Wei Que!At this time, Luo Tiandu felt a little admiration for Liu Jinxiu.You must know that these days, monarchy, patriarchy, and husband's power are like three mountains pressing down on women. There are also many resentful couples who are matched by the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. Most of them are women who grit their teeth and bear it. , Occasionally unwilling, the result of the hardest fight is nothing more than forcibly breaking the engagement, ruining the reputation, and then remarrying.But Liu Jinxiu didn't even have this way of retreat. The marriage contract between her and Wei Que was bestowed by the Lord today, unless she died or Wei Que died, otherwise she would not be able to marry others in this life.

However, if the two elope like this, aren't they afraid of hurting their parents and relatives?

Sure enough, Wei Que drew out his long sword and pointed at the woman: "Liu Jinxiu, how dare you humiliate me like this, I want your Liu family to pay for it!"

When Jinxiu heard this, her face immediately turned pale. She stared at Wei Que viciously, and said sharply, "Wei Que, don't try to threaten me with my parents. There is news that 'Liu Jinxiu' died of a sudden illness, if you dare to harm my father, I will never let you go."

Luo Tian nodded straightly when he heard it, this Liu Jinxiu is indeed worthy of the name of a talented woman, she has thought of everything, but she has calculated everything and underestimated her opponent, she was caught by Wei Que before she ran out of Shangjing with.

By this time, Luo Tian felt that her desire to gossip had been satisfied, and if she continued to listen, it would be bad. It would be better not to get involved in other people's private affairs, although she still sympathized with this couple in her heart.

Luo Tian thought about it and planned to leave.But just when her feet moved, Wei Que seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look this way.

Luo Tiandu immediately dodged and hid behind the door, his heart beating like a "boom boo boo".

With just a hasty glance, Luo Tian felt a murderous aura rushing towards her face. Under that powerful aura, she only saw Wei Que's light gray eyes, like ice knives, so cold that it was cold.She wasn't sure if Wei Que saw her, so she held her breath and stood stiffly behind the door, not daring to move a step.
