Rebirth of Fengmou

Chapter 48: Go Your Own Way

Xia Xiang came early the next morning, Du Lanyan wore plain white clothes and a veil, and the two of them left Xiangyu Tower together.

Outside the building, there was a carriage waiting long ago, and in front of the carriage, there was a person riding on a horse with a straight back and a graceful demeanor.

Du Lanyan paused, then looked at Xia Xiang in confusion, Xia Xiang smiled and explained: "I invited Master Chu, how about one?"

People have come, can they still be driven away?

Du Lanyan had no choice but to nod and stepped into the carriage.

Qingyun Mountain is in the outskirts, and it took more than half an hour for the carriage to reach the foot of the mountain.

The reason why Qingyun Mountain is named Qingyun is that it is famous for its height, which is high but not dangerous.

It was summer at this time, and the trees were lush and lush. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, it was green, like a fine emerald.

And halfway up the mountain, yellow walls and red tiles can be vaguely seen, that is Fangyin Temple.

Although it was still early at this time, there were quite a few people who came to Fangyin Temple. They parked their carriages at the foot of the mountain, and the ladies and ladies walked halfway up the mountain with the support of their servants.

From the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, there is no road for carriages to go up, so when you reach the foot of the mountain, you have to walk on the path by yourself.

In fact, in the past, there was a road, but after Master Guangci took over as the presiding officer, he asked people to plant saplings on both sides of the road, making it impossible for horse-drawn carriages to pass, leaving only a small path for people to walk on.

According to him, those who are sincere to the Buddha should have a firm heart in response to the Buddha and are not afraid of difficulties. Although this road is difficult to walk, what is tested is a person's heart to the Buddha.

Therefore, the famous ladies and ladies usually pamper themselves, but at this time they are tired of climbing the mountain, but they don't have any complaints, and they even enjoy it.

Xia Xiang and Du Lanyan got out of the car, asked the groom to park the car, and walked up the mountain with Chu Zhao.

Although the road is narrow, it is flat and easy to walk.

"Ouch..." Before he had walked a few steps, Xia Xiang covered her stomach with her hands, showing pain on her face.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Du Lanyan asked with concern as she supported her.

Xia Xiang glanced at Chu Zhao, leaned into Du Lanyan's ear a little shyly and whispered, "I'm here for Kuishui, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go up the mountain."

"If that's the case, let's go home." She originally came with Xia Xiang, but at this time Xia Xiang couldn't go, so she proposed to go back.

"We've come to the foot of the mountain, don't let me spoil your interest, go up and listen to what the master has to say, can you tell me later?" Xia Xiang looked at Du Lanyan expectantly.

Du Lanyan frowned slightly, did she mean to let her and Chu Zhao go up?
"Liu Lan, don't worry, Master Chu is very skilled in martial arts. With him around, no one would dare to do anything to you." Seeing Du Lanyan's face looking distressed, she thought she was afraid that someone would harm her, so she said.

"Okay then, you have a good rest at the foot of the mountain, and we'll come down after Master Guangci lectures on the Buddhist scriptures." Du Lanyan reluctantly agreed.

She has seen that Xia Xiang's invitation today is actually for Chu Zhao to connect with her and create a chance to be alone.

I don't know if it was her original intention or Chu Zhao's instruction, but since they all came, she had no choice but to agree.

Seeing Du Lanyan agree, Xia Xiang smiled, but her eyes implied loneliness.

After sending her back to the carriage, the two walked up the mountain.

"Qingyun Mountain is high. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Taiping City. There is a lake on it, the bottom of which can be seen clearly, and the surrounding area is full of hibiscus flowers. The scenery is too beautiful. Will Willow Lan want to go up and have a look?"

As Chu Zhao spoke, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"I promised Xia Xiang to listen to the Buddhist scriptures. I don't think I have time to go up to enjoy the beautiful scenery today." Du Lanyan smiled with a calm expression.

"I don't have time today, how about another date?" Chu Zhao took the opportunity to make a request, but Du Lanyan was noncommittal.

Seeing that Du Lanyan didn't answer, Chu Zhao was not annoyed, and walked beside her silently.

"Hey, isn't that the young master of General Chu's family? Why does he come to Fangyin Temple to listen to Buddhist scriptures? He usually does so many unconscionable things, so he has the nerve to come to Fangyin Temple. to the land of Buddhism."

"That's right, in my opinion, listening to the Buddhist scriptures is false, but pleasing women is the truth. Didn't you see a woman standing next to him?"

"Recently, I heard that he has hired a good friend in Xiangyu Tower. It's called Xia Xiang. I guess, the woman in white is probably that bitch named Xia Xiang."

"Look at that outfit, it doesn't look like a brothel."

"You can't be judged by appearances. This woman sleeps thousands of people, and she wears a veil like a lady when she goes out. She really wants to be a whore and set up a memorial archway, bah!"

Not far away, several gorgeously dressed old women looked at them, and what they said was full of contempt for the two of them. They thought their voices were quiet, but unexpectedly, Du Lanyan and Chu Zhao heard every word .

Chu Zhao's eyes were dark, his hands were fisted, and he was about to walk over there.

These sluts said he was fine, but they dared to insult Liulan like this. Since he only did something utterly devoid of conscience, he didn't care about doing a few more!

He took a few steps towards that side, but his arms tightened. He turned around, and it was Du Lanyan who held him back.

Du Lanyan shook her head at her, and said: "Let them say whatever they want, you can block the mouths of these people, and you can also block the mouths of everyone in Taiping City?"

Du Lanyan rolled her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Go your own way, let other dogs bark!"

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, seeing the smile on Du Lanyan's face, and hearing what she said, he actually laughed too, and his anger subsided.

"It's really shameless to start flirting in front of so many people!"

"She's a prostitute, and she doesn't care about time and occasion when she flirts."

Seeing the two of them looking at each other and smiling, the women started talking again.

Du Lanyan didn't speak, she took Chu Zhao's arm and strode up, leaving those people far behind in a short while.

Because she was walking in a hurry, sweat broke out on Du Lanyan's forehead, and she gasped for breath. Just as she was about to lift up her sleeve to wipe, Chu Zhao raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead first.

She froze for a moment, retreated without a trace, raised her sleeves to wipe, and walked forward while wiping.

"The last time the businessman was mercenary and deducted workers' wages. A small worker in his shop missed work for a day due to illness, so he fired him and deducted his wages for the whole year. The small worker came to ask for money, but Beaten to death by him, such a profiteer who disregards human life should be killed and fed to the dog." Chu Zhao said suddenly.

Du Lanyan looked at him with a puzzled face, and then she felt relieved. It was probably because those people said that he had no conscience just now, so he was explaining the previous rumors to himself.

Rumor has it that a businessman was steamed to death for offending him and fed to dogs.

He was explaining it to her now.

"In fact, everyone has their own way of life. No matter whether others say you are black-hearted or unscrupulous, you just need to be worthy of your own conscience!" Du Lanyan smiled, but in fact this person is not what he seems on the surface.

Some people are bohemian, arrogant and surly, people only know that he has such a temperament, but they don't realize that this is just his way of protecting himself.

Chu Zhao looked at Du Lanyan with glints in his eyes, but Du Lanyan turned around and walked forward.
