Value peace

Chapter 45

What fresh air and beautiful scenery, Gu Xiyan always regretted it.

Yesterday afternoon, she followed Minde to Lingyun Hall, the highest hall in Qixia Temple.They sat on a sedan chair similar to Sichuan sliding poles, and walked on a rugged and secluded path with many twists and turns, ups and downs, bumps and bumps, which made her feel strange, so she had to pay attention to it from time to time. Caressing the luxuriant branches and leaves protruding from the side, so as not to scratch the face.The heart has never fallen in my throat.If she hadn't arrived at Lingyun Temple soon, Gu Xiyan would really have wondered if this Minde was taking the opportunity to play tricks.

When they arrived at Lingyun Palace, Gu Xiyan was even more disappointed.The so-called "built according to the mountain", this mountain is just a small slope, how can it be compared with the Taishan Huashan and the like that she once visited, even Wudang Mountain is far behind.Standing on the top of the hillside, it is true that Qixia can be seen carefully, but the other eight halls are scattered around like illegal buildings, without a certain order, and there is no certain pattern. to the north.

Gu Xiyan can be regarded as a relatively organized person. After looking for a long time, she couldn't find the easiest route without repeated round-trips.If she and Duanniang agreed to go through every hall, wouldn't it be fatal!
She couldn't help glaring at Minde angrily, wondering if she was angry at her miscalculation, or because Minde stepped in and disrupted her plan.

Min De has a gentle attitude, turning a blind eye to Gu Xiyan's anger, still pointing to the buildings that look like molds on a sand table under the cover of green trees with a smile and talking: "... Miss, look at that roof with red tiles, There is a tortoise-back statue of the god of heaven. It is said that one day the god of heaven passed by the source water and saw the flood of the source water. The believers on the bank of the source water were killed and injured. The god of heaven sat cross-legged and made a wish to the sky. Abandoned as believers in Shuidu, the heavens sensed the mercy of God Xiantian, and ordered a giant tortoise who had practiced for tens of thousands of years in the South China Sea to help God Xiantian control the water... Miss, look at the one with white magnolias in front of the temple. It is a picture of the angry eyes of the God of Heaven. It is said that the God of Heaven was practicing in Lingnan Mountain one year. He met a tree spirit who had practiced for thousands of years. The cubs die without food, and the people in the mountains have no way of living..." She was babbling about those fairy tales, and Gu Xiyan looked sideways at Aunt Tian: "This is the first time I heard this story, huh? "

Mother Tian smiled sheepishly, pointed to one of the very small and exquisite blue-tiled halls and said: "There is the Blue Bird Hall, and there is a lotus statue held by the God of Heaven, and the girl is just going to ask for marriage..."

"Exactly, exactly." After hearing what Nanny Tian said, Minde immediately interrupted the introduction, and interjected, "Our Blue Bird Hall in Qixia Temple is very effective, but it is not as good as the Jielian Hall next to it. Jielian The hall is enshrined in the statue of the God of the Heavens giving birth to the son. When the Empress Minhui came to Qixia Temple to pray for her son, she worshiped the Jielian Hall. Later, she really gave birth to Emperor Xiaozong. If you are interested, you can also go there to see..."

Gu Xiyan was dumbfounded.

After working for a long time, this great god of the sky can take care of everything. Not only can he be the old moon, but he can also be a Guanyin... Xia Guo's ancestors are too unimaginative... However, it is too late to regret now. Grandma Ju Hetian and those guards who were borrowed from the Liu family were said to be very skilled.

Gu Xiyan sighed in her heart, took a deep breath, tried to calm her mind, and said: "These halls have their own characteristics, and we will go to visit them one by one tomorrow."

This time, it was Nanny Tian who was stunned.

When it came to Minde, his smiling eyes were narrowed.

Seeing that smile, Gu Xiyan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.If it weren't for this civil morality, how could things have turned out like this.Not to mention the pain in my waist and back, I even messed up tomorrow's blind date.She said angrily: "Aunt Minde invited us up, whether there is tea or water, let us stand here and drink the northwest wind?"

Minde immediately made a gesture of invitation to Gu Xiyan, and while leading Gu Xiyan to a five-room hall not far away, he said: "Young lady, when you talk about eating, we Qixia sees that there is another thing to eat." The ones that can be obtained are called cooking cakes. It was passed down from the palace of the Taichu Dynasty 500 years ago. Wrapped with noodles and put all kinds of stuffing in the stove, it is crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside..."

Now, Gu Xiyan didn't even want to say anything.

What cooking cakes, then sesame cakes.Wasn't that damn Li Chaoyang brought it here!
Since you are so capable, why did you bring over such truly quintessential things, such as equality between men and women, such as equal pay for equal work... Isn't it because he is also a man himself, and the three wives and four concubines just follow his own? The wish...has caused her troubles, and she has ended up in this situation today, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, which is exactly the age of youth and young Ai, but she wants to go on a blind date secretly...

This feeling of venting anger did not dissipate until she hid in the wing room at the back of Lingyun Palace, which made her toss and turn on the bed for most of the night, regretting endlessly.

After finally waiting for dawn, she yelled at Mo Ju to bring her a mirror to see if there were any dark circles on her face.

After eating breakfast in the Lingyun Temple, they burnt incense on the statue of the Great God Shee Sun enshrined in the Lingyun Temple, and the group of them walked down the mountain surrounded by guards.

Gu Xiyan wore a goose-yellow high-waisted pomegranate dress for the sake of her image, and a pair of silver-red embroidered high-heeled shoes. After walking a few steps, there was already dust on the skirt, and the delicate yellow color became unrecognizable. .The annoyance in her heart was even greater, she stopped and stood there looking at the palace at the foot of the mountain, thinking to herself.

If Duanniang and Jinxin had an appointment to drink tea in Qingzhutang called Qingzhutang as discussed when they came here, it would be fine to arrive at Qingzhutang before noon; if Duanniang and Master Mei came to touch her, they would walk from the foot of the mountain to the top in the morning, They can meet at the halfway up the mountain at the earliest...

Gu Xiyan pointed to a hall next to the stone staircase halfway up the mountain and said, "Aunt Minde, let's go there first and have a look!"

Min De was stunned, and said: "Didn't the girl say that she would swim to all the halls?"

Gu Xiyan said in her heart: You think I'm a fool. I put a stick of incense in that Lingyun Temple, and you asked for 200 taels of sesame oil. If I go all the way, there are nine halls, and none of them can be done with 800 taels... Could it be that you laughed so happily yesterday!

Mother Tian probably thought about going with Gu Xiyan, and immediately responded: "Yes, yes, yes. That is the Temple of Light, and inside it is a three-eyed image of the Great God, which means to open the eyes of the sky, to predict The ability to observe the past and the future. The girl goes there to pay her respects, and bless her wishes to come true in the future..."

Two votes to one.

Gu Xiyan walked quickly down the mountain.

After a while, the Hall of Light arrived.

The front of the Guangming Hall is paved with big stones, and there are five main halls in the middle. In the hall, there is a three-eyed statue of the God who shows the sky. The body is made of gold and the eyes are made of precious stones. It is as high as a three-story building. , there is one eye parallel to the other two eyes in the center of the forehead, hands clasped together, four arms are stretched out on the left and right behind the back, and there is one eye in the middle of the palm, which looks solemn and resplendent.There are altars, incense burners, candlesticks and other things in front of it, and cigarettes are curling up. An iron basin with a diameter of two meters hangs on the eaves in front of the idol, and a wick thick as a thumb is lit inside.

It may be because they came earlier, only a few middle-aged men scattered in the hall reverently put incense on the three-eyed statue of the Great God.

Gu Xiyan also put on a stick of incense, and Minde asked Nanny Tian for 200 taels of sesame oil.

Gu Xiyan saw that there were hallways leading to the back on the left and right sides, so she walked towards the back casually. Mother Tian took Mo Ju and the others to offer incense to the God of Heaven, and she was a step behind.

When she went out of the hall, she found that there was a dange at the back. In the middle of the dange was an incense burner about the height of a person, and at the end was a small single hall. The four cross-flowered gates were still open, and there were faint figures inside. kowtow.

Gu Xiyan walked in curiously.

In the main hall is a different image of the three-eyed statue of Xiantian, which is much smaller than the one outside and is about the same height as her. It seems to be carved from wood such as sandalwood or agarwood, and it is painted black. .The statue holds a sword in its left hand and a shield in its right hand. It has a ferocious face. The eye on the forehead is not parallel to the other two eyes, but vertical, which makes the appearance of the statue look very scary.In front of the incense table in front, there is another man kneeling on a black mat and bowing his head to pray, with a very pious attitude.

Gu Xiyan was attracted by the statue, and couldn't help but walked to the incense table, wanting to take a closer look at the statue.

Right at Yizuo's body, the man who was bowing his head in prayer in front of the incense table suddenly raised his head and stood up.

Gu Xiyan felt like being killed by lightning.

Wheat-colored skin, resolute face, deep facial features, sharp eyes, thin lips tightly pursed, and that hard and sharp aura like a rock sword... It turned out to be Gu Xiyan who was in Hong Kong when she first traveled to this world. In the jade hall, I saw a man chasing his escaped wife.

He was still wearing a straight gown of crow-blue soft satin, and his figure was as straight as a birch tree in the field, but he was thinner than when he saw it last summer, his expression was colder, and his face was more aged.When I looked closely, I found that his black temples had already been covered with hoarfrost.

His bright and sharp eyes took a deep look at Gu Xiyan, then quickly turned around and walked out of the hall.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help turning around and chasing after him.

After two steps, he stopped again.

Would it be impossible to go up and say "Hi", and others don't know her!
Do you still introduce yourself: "I am so-and-so. Last summer, I hid in the Xiangyu Pavilion and saw something. How are you? I have been following the news about your wife and lover. They seem to be married and living a good life." You look good, how about you, are you married, how is the child...

Gu Xiyan couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

I'm afraid that this man will slap and incite him when he hears it, and add a sentence "I want you to mind your own business".But it's not necessarily true, seeing that he can handle things rationally in the face of his rival in love, he might just give her a cold look, turn around and leave without saying anything... just like just now.

Gu Xiyan looked at the man's straight back, thinking wildly.

I don't know why he came to Qixia Temple?
Could it be that the wife came to express her gratitude for the first anniversary of her departure!
Looking at his haggard appearance, I don't know how sad he was this year, and how did he survive it?
