Red makeup against the world

Chapter 800
Cheng Jue held the order talisman in his hand, and rushed towards the Discipline Hall, his mind was in a mess.Tong Hui's words had a great impact on him.

Watch people with your heart?As he ran, he thought about this sentence.

In the past few years, following the Zhike monk, the people and things he experienced surfaced one by one, and he rethought those people who made him remember deeply.Slowly, he realized something and understood the true face of these people in their bones.

"Who?" He had just walked to the door of the Discipline Hall when he heard a low shout.

Cheng Jue handed him the token and repeated Tong Hui's order.The monks here only listened to the orders of Tong Hui and the abbot of Qingliang Temple, checked the authenticity of the order talisman, and did not ask the reason.He called the monk who was resting, and rushed to the gate to listen to Tong Hui's instructions.

Seeing the disappearance of the 35 monks, Chengjue turned around and walked towards Master Miaoxin's courtyard.

……

Xu Wanzhen didn't sleep well, her escape was only half successful, and she didn't regain safety.

Chasing soldiers will not give up easily, but how long can she hide her lies?A temple is only a temporary shelter, not a permanent place.After leaving here, in the unfamiliar Hebei Road, can she escape the other party's search by herself?

Cold, worried, nervous, and all kinds of uneasiness made her frown slightly.

As soon as Chengjue stepped into the yard, Xu Wanzhen woke up with a start.He kicked off his shoes and got off the ground, gathered up his cloak, leaned gently against the wall by the door, and listened intently.

Miao Xin, who was cross-legged in the courtyard, slightly opened her eyes, Chengjue bowed to salute, and he nodded slightly.

Chengjue walked to the door and knocked lightly on the door: "The benefactor, wake up."

Xu Wanzhen replied: "I didn't fall asleep. The little master is here at this time, but is there something wrong?"

"Female benefactor, the bandit you speak of wants the temple to release you. He also threatened that if you are not handed over before dawn, they will bring people to destroy this Qingliang Temple."

Xu Wanzhen leaned her back against the wall, feeling that her heart was as cold as the temperature of the wall.Is the other party already unscrupulous?No longer hiding whereabouts, that also means that the enemy's plot is so big that there is no need to worry about it.

After being silent for a long while, she said softly: "It is my fault that I have caused your temple to suffer. You don't need to wait until dawn, let me write two letters, and you can take me out. I am grateful to Qingliang Temple for taking me in this midnight Grace."

In Xu Wanzhen's view, one temple is not enough to compete with the other.What's more, she is just a passerby, and she is not related to Qingliang Temple, so why would she be kept?
Instead of embarrassing the little monk who saved her, dragging down the monks.Why don't she leave important news and take the initiative to go out.

Hearing her words, Miao Xin, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, stood tall.He took a deep breath, and there was a crackling sound like roasted chestnuts all over his body, and his figure exploded.

"I'll go and have a look." After leaving these words, he jumped into the courtyard and disappeared.

Chengjue has become accustomed to this, regardless of the master's whereabouts, he still asked outside the door: "Female benefactor, let's put aside the matter of going out of the temple for now. Master Tonghui asked me to ask you about your real origin."

Xu Wanzhen took a deep breath, the matter has become a big mess, and her idea of ​​hiding her whereabouts has backfired.That being the case, there is no need to hide her origin anymore, instead she has to think about how to convince the other party of her true identity.

"Please ask little master to bring me a basin of water."

Although Chengjue didn't understand why, he still followed suit.He scooped up a large basin of water from the large water tank in the kitchen, and carried it into the room with the wooden basin.

"Please wait a moment, little master." Xu Wanzhen bowed.

In the middle of the night, when he got close to the woman, Chengjue chanted a Buddha's name with one hand, and hurriedly retreated.

Xu Wanzhen scooped up cold water and washed her face carefully.His onion-like fingers were turned blue and white by the cold water, and he kept pouring water on his face.

She had seen Wu Zhengxiang's exquisite disguise mask, and out of curiosity, she also asked him about the process of disguise and how to remove it.

Fortunately, she asked, and only then did she know how to remove the ugly mask on her face.

Judging people by their appearance is a common problem among people.If she put on that ugly face and called herself the second young lady of Duke Zhongguo's mansion in the capital, she would probably be regarded as arrogant.

Only when she regains her original appearance can she have the capital to persuade others.Although Qingliang Temple is not a royal temple, as the place where the emperor enshrined Zen, his knowledge is far higher than other temples.The presiding abbot here also has a reward from the imperial court.

Only by convincing the young monk in front of her did she have the chance to meet the Master Tong Hui whom the young monk mentioned, and even the host of Qingliang Temple.The higher the level of people she meets, the more confident she will be.

The rest depends on whether the temple can withstand the enemy's attack.For this, she really had no idea, so she could only put all her eggs in one basket.

Chengjue heard the sound of splashing water in the room, he didn't know why, but he still waited patiently.

After about a quarter of an hour, the door creaked, and Xu Wanzhen pushed the door out.

At this time, the sky was already slightly blue, and the scenery in the courtyard was faintly visible.Chengjue only took one look at her, then stood there dumbfounded as if he had been hit by a spell.

It was still the same coarse clothes and hemp boots, but the woman who appeared in the faint morning light had completely changed her appearance.

Her face is clear and quiet, but she also has a beautiful demeanor.What kind of eyes are those eyes, they seem to be filled with all the bright spring light in the world, and they are as bright as stars in such a rough courtyard and in such night.

With just one glance, Cheng Jue couldn't take his eyes away anymore.Seeing him in a daze, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but smile, covering her mouth and chuckling.She hasn't smiled like this for a long time, such a heartfelt, non-calculating smile.

Her smile was like sunlight piercing the night.From Chengjue's point of view, her smile made this small courtyard shine brightly.

Such a woman is by no means a fugitive slave woman!

She is standing here, the rough clothes can hardly hide her beauty.Like a fairy descended from the sky, ethereal and refined; like the most enchanting stunner in the world, captivating.

Cheng Jue realized his gaffe, hurriedly lowered his head, and recited the Heart Sutra silently in his heart, only then was he able to calm down the turbulent mood in his heart.

As a young disciple of Zhike Monk, he has seen many female relatives who come to offer incense.Boudoir girls use veils to cover their faces, but married women don't pay much attention to it.

They have their own looks, but to Cheng Jue, they are all just female benefactors.Flesh and flesh are just appearances, regardless of beauty or ugliness, they are all treated equally in front of the Buddha.

This was the first time that Cheng Jue was so shocked by a person's beauty.Let his heart of cultivating Buddhism since childhood also realize her extraordinaryness.

How could such a woman be a fugitive slave? !
Just as Xu Wanzhen thought, she only needs to show her true face, and she will have three points of capital to win people's trust.

"Little master, I am the wife of the second son of the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion in the capital." She said slowly and clearly, "I fell into a trap by a traitor in early November and hijacked me all the way to the foot of Wutai Mountain. I only found a good opportunity to escape today. .”
