Rebirth of Fengmou

Chapter 49.meet under the bodhi tree

The two walked quickly, and soon arrived at Fangyin Temple.

They walked in, there were two little novice monks at the gate of the temple, once they entered, each of them led one, and walked away one by one to the left and the other to the right.

The defense of men and women is particularly important in this place of Buddhist practice, so women and men must sit separately.

"Female benefactor, it's still early, you go to the side room to rest first." The little novice led Du Lanyan outside a side room and said so.

"When will the master start to lecture?" Du Lanyan asked casually, her eyes turned to the side room, there were already a dozen women inside, all of them were from rich families, and they were all putting on airs, occupying a corner, who Does not pay attention to anyone, arrogant and self-sustaining.

"Half an hour later." The little monk replied, then turned and left.

Du Lanyan stood outside the door, thought for a while, but did not go in, but went along the long corridor to the backyard.

This group of people insists that they are noble and ignore each other, but if she goes in, they don't know her, and if they know that she came from a brothel, they will join forces to ridicule her. Although she doesn't care what others say, she won't Will be making fun of myself.

So I asked about the time of Master Guangci's lecture, so I decided to go around first, and when the time came, I went directly to the Buddhist hall.

The temple is a place of pure cultivation. The Ten Precepts of Buddhism are strictly observed by all disciples. Over the years, even the plants and trees in this temple appear solemn. Du Lanyan walked slowly, and when she met a few monks, she would be friendly to them. smile.

Walking indiscriminately, letting his senses lead the way, after a while, he came to a courtyard, the courtyard door was half closed, and there was a word on it: Redemption.

"Redemption?" Du Lanyan thought lightly, curiosity suddenly arose in her heart, she stepped forward to push open the door, and walked in.

The inside of the courtyard is very simple, except for a row of low houses directly opposite, there is a towering tree in the center of the courtyard, which is a bodhi tree.

The tree is very strong, and it is estimated that three people can hug it together. Its branches and leaves are lush, and it props up a towering green umbrella in the courtyard.

It was planted in the center of the courtyard, and a high platform was built around it with stones. There was a stone ladder, and a monument was erected on the stone ladder.

The house was locked, so naturally Du Lanyan couldn't get in, so she walked towards the linden tree, slowly climbed the stone steps, and stood in front of the stele.

There are words engraved on the stele: the body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently so as not to stir up dust.

Zhishan's name is written on the signature.

Zhishan is the first abbot of Fangyin Temple, an eminent monk from a wandering region, and the temple was built here to take root. If he had planted this tree, it would have been several hundred years old.

Du Lanyan took off her veil, clasped her hands together, bowed devoutly to the tree three times, and then her eyes fell on the stele.

Open your lips lightly, and read: "There is no tree for Bodhi, and a bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, where can the dust be aroused?"

I saw this poem in modern times, and it corresponded to the poem on the stele, so I couldn't help but read it out.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, there was the sound of clapping behind him, and the clapping sound was eager, revealing the excited mood of the person clapping.

"The girl has such a state of mind, no one in the world can match her!" Then there was a voice of praise, the voice was high-pitched, and the speed of the speech was fast, which also revealed the inner excitement of the praiser.

Du Lanyan paused, and the person behind her was Wei Jiarui!
Wei Jiarui is not a Buddhist believer, why did he appear here?
Her body was stiff and she did not turn around. The veil on her face had already been taken off, and it was too late to put it on now, not to mention, sooner or later they had to meet, and it was better to see you sooner than later.

Footsteps came from behind, and Wei Jiarui was walking towards her.

Du Lanyan took a few deep breaths, suppressed her emotions, and turned around suddenly.

She looked at Wei Jiarui, even though she had mixed feelings in her heart, her face was calm, and her eyes were even more devoid of emotion, as if she was seeing a stranger for the first time.

Wei Jiarui's footsteps stopped, his eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Du Lanyan in disbelief, his lips were murmured, and it took a long time before he uttered three words: "Du Lanyan?"

Du Lanyan looked at Wei Jiarui pretending to be blank and asked, "You called me?"

Then he broke out into a smile, "You have misunderstood the person, my name is not Du Lanyan."

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Wei Jiarui walked forward slowly, a little lost, as if he didn't hear what Du Lanyan said.

Du Lanyan raised her eyebrows, looked down at her white clothes, sneered secretly, and then stepped forward, pretending to step on a slippery stone ladder, her body suddenly leaned forward, she screamed, the next moment, as she expected, Wei Jiarui caught her.

Wei Jiarui put his arms around her waist, his eyes fixed on her face, his expression was not as surprised as before, his brows were frowned, but his expression was complicated.

"I'm not a ghost, and I'm not the Du Lanyan you mentioned. You misunderstood me." Du Lanyan stretched out his hand to push him away, but his hand was tightly clasped around her waist, making her unable to move. stared at her.

Seeing that she couldn't push him away, Du Lanyan simply didn't move. She raised her head and met her eyes.

Her eyes were a little cold, even a little angry, and a little dazed, but there was no love in her eyes.

Wei Jiarui was startled, and let go of her. Although this woman looked exactly like Du Lanyan, she was not her.

Firstly, Du Lanyan is a dead person, but the woman in front of her is alive; secondly, Du Lanyan loves him deeply, when she looks at him, her eyes are always full of love, but this woman looks at him very much. Strange, as if never met.

Therefore, he concluded that she was not Du Lanyan.

"Who are you?" When his reason returned, he regained his cold expression. A person who looked exactly like Du Lanyan appeared here, and meeting him was not by chance. Thinking of the assassin who assassinated Han Ruxue a few days ago, his eyes became even brighter. It was a little cold.

"Is this your place?" Du Lanyan asked instead of answering her question.

Wei Jiarui was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Since it's not your territory, what capacity do you use to question me?" Du Lanyan sneered, turned and left.

Wei Jiarui subconsciously reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"My lord, please respect yourself!" Du Lanyan turned her head slightly, her words filled with anger, and looked coldly at his hand holding her wrist.

Wei Jiarui looked at her expression, and slowly let go of her hand. After Du Lanyan was free, she left without looking back.

He didn't catch up and stood there in a daze for a long time.

Du Lanyan walked out of the yard quickly, until she was far away, she stopped abruptly, gasping for breath, while panting, tears flowed down uncontrollably, feeling a dull pain in her heart.

She thought she wouldn't feel any more when they saw each other, but she didn't know that everything was just deceiving herself. When she was in a pair last time, she had already controlled her emotions very well. Why did he just touch her a few times, and that's it?
She took two deep breaths to suppress the sourness in her heart, and she would not repeat the same mistakes again.

Maybe all this is just because I have paid too much, so I am not reconciled.

She raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, her eyes were cold, she hoped that her strategy would be useful.

Originally, she wanted to seduce Wei Jiarui with the most enchanting charm, but then she thought that this move was inappropriate, and if she was a little careless, it would be counterproductive, so she changed her strategy and used the man's desire to conquer to make him notice her, Hence the desire to conquer.
