Chapter 120 -- Jiuhua Temple
Chapter 120 - Jiuhua Temple
Duan Qingming and his party set out in a hurry. Even the stewer came to say goodbye, but was rejected by the new stewer Xu Ning in various ways!
According to Duan Qingming, the direction she went back was not in the capital, but in a temple outside the capital, where the plaque of Mrs. Ding Rou was worshipped! And Duan Qingming's purpose is there!
At this time, Xu Ning stood at the gate of the village and looked at the group gradually disappearing on the road outside the village. Standing in the low-lying place on the roadside, looking at it, in the distance, the sky and the earth are yellow and gloomy, and gradually I can't tell whether it is loess or dead grass! Xu Ning looked at it quietly and suddenly sighed gently!
This young lady left and entrusted everything to him. This gave Xu Ning some uneasy feelings in his heart! He was afraid that he didn't do well or didn't do enough, and then he would disappoint this visionary lady!
In Xu Ning's heart, there was suddenly an unspeakable feeling of depression!
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from behind Xu Ning:
"This Miss Duan is no less than her wife!"
Xu Ning doesn't have to look back, but he knows that it's his sister-in-law, Di!
Xu Ning naturally knew that Di was a person from the house. In those years, he married his brother Xu Zheng, or his wife's media. Unfortunately, things are changed, and today's wife has already gone, and everything can't be pursued!
Xu Ning turned around, looked at Di behind him, and said warmly:
"Why did your sister-in-law come here?"
Di, about 20 years old this year, has a round face and delicate skin color. Although she has lived in Zhuangzi and experienced a lot of wind and rain, looking at her appearance, she is still charming and touching!
Hearing Xu Ning's words, Di Shi smiled bitterly:
"I heard that the young lady has left. Let me have a look!"
Xu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything!
When the young lady was there, Di didn't see her, but now, when she left, she came to see her off again? Xu Ning doesn't know what complicated feelings Di has for Duan Fu, but what he doesn't know is what Di has for Miss Duan!
Di seemed to have many emotions. Looking at the carriages and horses that disappeared at the end of the loess, she suddenly smiled:
"I hope the young lady doesn't follow her mother's old path!"
In those years, Mrs. Ding Rou can be said to be intelligent and wise and decisive. However, because she disdained the fight in the back house, she came to such a bleak end, so that she died in vain at the end!
After listening to Di's words, Xu Ning was obviously stunned!
He saw the wisdom and mind of the young lady. He has also heard about his wife's deeds in those years. But why is there such a world of difference from what my sister-in-law said?
Seeing Xu Ning stunned, Di smiled bleakly:
"Second brother, you will never understand that the most terrible thing in those big houses is not your enemy, but often the one you trust the most!"
Hearing that, Xu Ning smiled slightly, but did not say anything.
The distant wind blows, and the dead grass is sagging. The desolate yellow all over the earth reflects Xu Ning's wry smile, like a fresh fruit off the water, leaving only color, but no charm!
Yes, Xu Ning may not be able to understand the secret history of Di's high gate for the rest of his life!
He was born in a cold door, 365 days a year, 300 days, all of which are half full stomachs. Occasionally, when I have a full meal, I feel that it is a gift from God. Since his birth, hunger has been the clearest memory in his life!
Why doesn't Xu Ning remember? Since he remembered, he has seen his parents working for food, clothing, housing and transportation every day and running for three meals a day. With that kind of family and life, how can he have time to pay attention to the scenery elsewhere?
Seeing Xu Ning's such a bleak and embarrassed expression, Di suddenly became clear. She smiled shyly:
"Second brother, I'm out of my temper!"
Yes, she thought too much. You know, how can those who have never experienced the struggle of these otaku women know the tragedy? And Xu Ning, he is really a simple-minded and open-minded person! How could he understand these scorns in the high gate?
Listening to Di's words, Xu Ning smiled generously and said that he didn't care:
"My sister-in-law's words are serious. They are all a family. How can there be nothing to say?"
Di raised his head again, looked at the other side of the empty dirt road, and smiled, like the bleak sunset in March, emitting a fragile light:
"The old man is still waiting for me at home, so I'll go back first!"
After saying that, he ignored Xu Ning's reaction, and Di stepped on the yellow land under his feet and walked back step by step. Such a deep foot, a shallow foot walked alone, just like any journey in her life, even if she can't see the end, she can only move forward all the way!
The past is over! Whether it is Ding Rou's bizarre death in those years or Miss Duan who appears today, these people are destined to be a scenery beyond Di's life. Just like the teenage road she couldn't go back to, she disappeared. Never pursue again!
Madam, this time, I helped the young lady, so I have paid back your kindness back then! So, from now on, you and I will not owe each other!
*******
The Jiuhua Temple is located in the sunset mountain! Around, the road is rugged, and few people come up all year round!
After the temple, there is a temple. It's called Jiuhua'an!
And this Jiuhua Temple was originally called "Ci'en Temple". It is a temple full of incense. However, many years ago, I don't know why it withered. In those years, there was another master named "Jiuhua Shenni" who settled down in the temple behind the temple, and then gradually became a little popular.
The Jiuhua God is skillful and compassionate. Therefore, the originally unknown smallan was also renamed "Jiuhua'an". Later, the reputation of Jiuhua Temple gradually overshadowed the reputation of Ci'en Temple. Finally, the abbot of the temple simply renamed the temple the Jiuhua Temple! The front yard is used by the temple, and the back is owned by Jiuhua'an!
And this Jiuhua God is Ding Rou's old knowledge!
According to Mama Ning, Mrs. Ding Rou came here when she was young and stayed for several days. Later, he joked with Shenni that he would put the card here after a hundred years! Unexpectedly, she was so beautiful that she died at a young age. Duan Zheng also followed his will and brought her card here!
In her previous life, because Duan Qingming listened to Liu Rong's words and was estranged from Duan Zheng, and how could Liu Rong condescend to come to such a place? What's more, is it to worship Ding Rou?
Therefore, Duan Qingming in the last life married into Ning'an Baifu from childhood, but she really didn't officially worship her mother's card!
As long as you think of her unfilial piety in her previous life, Liu Rong's deliberate misconduct, and what Duan Yulan has done to herself, Duan Qingming will feel the hatred in her heart, and blood is surging - Liu Rong and Duan Yulan, I will never let you go in this life!
When the carriage stopped in front of the Jiuhua Temple, it was already dusk.
The news of Duan Qingming's arrival has long been notified to the abbot of Jiuhua'an, so as soon as her carriage stopped, Anzhong sent a little Ni named Yijing to welcome her!
The little nun is about seventeen or eight years old, beautiful and shining. The wide gray robe was worn on her, which made her look even thinner and weak!
At first sight of Duan Qingming, she bent down slightly and typed a Buddhist word:
"Is this Miss Duan? The abbot has been waiting for a long time. Please come with Xiao Ni!"
Duan Qingming nodded slightly to Jingyi:
"You have worked hard!"
The group crossed the road next to the temple and walked towards the nunnery behind!
Walk along the gray brick wall of the temple, and then around the first corridor, you will arrive at the Jiuhua Temple!
Jiuhua'an is not too much, it's just a three-entry courtyard. Behind, there are several independent courtyards.
This front yard is specially used to worship the Bodhisattva. The middle yard is for sundries, as well as the abbots of Jiuhua'an, and nuns. This backyard is dedicated to the plaque!
