Chapter 438: Qing Jing Um
The breeze came and the peach blossoms were covered with pieces. Li Xiu walked into this peach blossom forest again on the path paved with bluestone. Strictly speaking, this was his first time here, but for the previous Li Xiu, this was his dream place, because he met Ning Xin for the first time here, but unfortunately he was opposed and obstructed by Li Jing. As a result, the two of them died one after another due to love, which created an opportunity for Li Xiu's time travel.
"I thought my previous memories had been taken away by Li Xiu, but I didn't expect that after coming here, the previous events would come to my heart again." Li Xiu walked through the peach forest outside and looked at Qingjing Temple hidden in the peach forest not far away, and couldn't help but whisper to himself.
He had nothing to do on the mountain just now, and suddenly he thought of Qingjing Temple again. Although this was already the affairs of the previous Li Xiu, Li Xiu didn't know why. Finally, he decided to come here to see it. Maybe this might be the residual influence of the previous Li Xiu on him. Come here to see it to fulfill one of Li Xiu's wishes.
After passing through the peach forest on the outside, Li Xiu finally came to Qingjing Temple. It was more like an ordinary courtyard than a temple. The walls were already a little mottled. Although the stone steps were cleaned very clean, the gaps were covered with moss. The wooden doors that had not been painted had cracked and deformed after being baptized by wind and rain, but they were still solid.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar wooden door in front of him, scenes of scenes appeared in Li Xiu's heart uncontrollably. He was still a little immature at that time and was also a little immature. The peach blossoms outside were in full bloom. Then Li Xiu met Ning Xin, who was folding peach blossoms. At that time, Ning Xin was practicing with her hair. Although she was wearing monk's robe, she looked no different from an ordinary girl. When Li Xiu saw Ning Xin in the flower-stricken smile at him, she was completely lost.
The scenes of Li Xiu meeting, knowing each other, and falling in love flashed through Li Xiu's mind. When he first traveled through time, the memories of Ning Xin were very confusing. Li Xiu thought that Li Xiu had taken away all these memories, but now he realized that these memories were hidden deep in his mind. Now he revisited the old place and finally appeared again.
However, although the love between Li Xiu and Ning Xin is touching, it is just a memory for Li Xiu now. In this memory, he is just a bystander, just like a later generation watching a love movie that makes people cry. Although it is moved, it will not have much impact on him. He is still the original Li Xiu.
"Squeak~" But just as Li Xiu was recalling the past, he suddenly saw the door in front of him being opened, and a nun in his thirty years old walked out. When he saw Li Xiu outside the door, he couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he realized and said coldly: "Why are you here?"
"Meet Senior Sister Ning Hui, is Master Xu Du here?" Li Xiu immediately bowed to the other party when he saw the nun. The nun was named Ning Hui, and he was Ning Xin's senior sister.
At the beginning, Li Xiu and Ning Xin fell in love at first sight and often came here to visit, but this place was a quiet place in Buddhism, and Ning Xin would sooner or later be slaughtered. This also caused the nuns in the nun in the nun in the temple to be dissatisfied with him. Ning Hui was the one who opposed the most, but she was not a bad person. Instead, she was the one who took care of Ning Xin the most. After Ning Xin's death, Ning Hui was even more sad. Since then, she thought it was Ning Xin who killed Li Xiu, so she had no good expression on Li Xiu.
"Hmph, Ning Xin has been killed by you. Do you have the face to see Master Xudu?" Ning Hui snorted coldly at this time. Although she was in the temple, she usually had to contact the outside world and buy some oil and salt and other daily necessities. She had heard of Li Xiu's current situation, but this did not change her view of Li Xiu, especially after knowing that Li Xiu had married two wives, she was very disgusted with Li Xiu. If she were not a monk, she would have beaten Li Xiu with a broom.
"Senior Sister Ning Hui, I was once heartbroken when Ning Xin's death. Now I go to her grave to worship every year. Today, I came here by chance with my friends. Thinking of all the things I had at that time, especially Master Xu Du, I came to visit!" Li Xiu continued helplessly at this time.
Xu Du is the master of Ning Xin and Ning Hui, and the owner of this Qingjing Temple. She picked up Ning Xin from the mountains and raised her. However, she is Ning Xin's mother. When Li Xiu and Ning Xin fell in love, they were opposed by many people on both sides, but only Master Xu Du supported and understood them. Unfortunately, the love between the two finally ended in a tragedy. Now Ning Xin is gone, but Xu Du is still in the temple. Since Li Xiu passed by, he would visit him for both reason and reason.
"You go, Master Xu Du will not see you!" Ning Hui was extremely disgusted with Li Xiu. Not only did she not want to inform him, but she also said again to drive him away from here so as not to disturb their spiritual practice.
However, Qingjing Temple was not loud at all, and the voices of Li Xiu and Ning Hui were enough to reach the backyard, so at this time, a somewhat old voice came from the yard and said, "Ning Hui, how can monks speak coldly to others?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old nun came over. When Li Xiu saw the other party, he immediately put his hands together and bowed: "Li Xiu pays homage to Master Xudu!"
The old nie who came out was Xu Du. When she saw Li Xiu outside the door, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression. After a moment, she realized and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Why are you here, Mr. Li?"
When Li Xiu heard Xu Du directly called himself the son-in-law, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although Xu Du didn't say it clearly, he could also hear some dissatisfaction from the title of "son-in-law". After all, Ning Xin was regarded as his daughter by Xu Du, but unfortunately Ning Xin died because of him. Although the original Li Xiu also left Ning Xin, others didn't know it. So in the eyes of Xu Du and the others, he married two wives in a few years after Ning Xin's death, one of them was a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they were monks, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"I'm here to visit my friends with my friends. I happened to pass by here, so I came to visit Master Xudu. I wonder if Master's health is okay?" Although I knew that Xudu and the others didn't like him, Li Xiu could only bite the bullet and speak, since he had occupied Li Xiu's body, he would now treat it as a repayment of his kindness.
"Pinnie is in good health, I'm worried about it if I'm sorry!" Xu Du replied calmly at this time. Although his tone still did not mean to blame Li Xiu, he did not have the same kindness as before, and even felt like he was keeping people thousands of miles away.
Seeing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. The old friend has gone, and the past is gone. Maybe he really shouldn't have come here again, but if he doesn't come, he feels a little sorry for the original Li Xiu and Ning Xin who has passed away. However, since he has come, he can't tolerate any more regrets.
"Master Xudu, I am grateful for your care. If there is any difficulty in the temple, Master Xudu, please speak out. I will do my best to help you solve it!" Li Xiu took a long breath at this time, and then spoke to Master Xudu again. He knew that life on the mountain was hard, so he wanted to use his own strength to help them, which was also a way to repay the original Li Xiu.
"Thank you for your kindness, but there are only four of us masters and apprentices in the temple. We don't use them much. There are several acres of thin fields at the foot of the mountain, and vegetables are also grown in the temple. It is usually enough for us masters and apprentices, so we won't bother the princes and apprentices!" Master Xu Du shook his head and said when he heard this.
"Then...why should I pay to help Master rebuild Qingjing Temple?" Li Xiu suggested again. He had completely become part of the original role of Li Xiu. He always felt that if he didn't help Xu Du do something, he would feel really uneasy.
"No need, Qingjing'an is a place for practice, as long as it can shelter the wind and cold!" Xu Du refused again. In fact, she was also soft-hearted at this time, but as a monk, she really didn't need Li Xiu to do anything for her.
When Li Xiu heard Xu Du rejecting again, he was very helpless, especially Ning Hui next to him, which made him feel a little frustrated. Finally, he had to shake his head powerlessly and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you. Master Xu Du takes care of him, Li Xiu says goodbye!"
Li Xiu said that, turning around and leaving. After all, he clearly did not welcome him, and he said everything he should say. Since the other party refused, it would be difficult for him to stay here again.
"Wait a minute!" But just as Li Xiu turned around, he suddenly heard Master Xu Du behind him call him.
This also made Li Xiu stunned, then turned around and looked at Xu Du in surprise and said, "Master Xu Du has any instructions?"
Master Xu Du showed a hesitant expression at this time, but finally sighed: "Before Ning Xin passed away, there was a letter to give to you. I had a little resentment in my heart before, so I never gave it to you. Now, think about it, let's leave it to you, so I won't let Ning Xin down!"
Xu Du said that, turning around and entering the temple. After a while, he took out a letter and handed it to Li Xiu and said, "This letter was written when Ning Xin was dying. He passed away just after writing it. Open it and take a look!"
Li Xiu took the letter but was hesitant. The letter was written to Li Xiu before. Is it a bit inappropriate to open it himself? But now Xu Du asked him to open it, and he couldn't refuse it. And seriously, there seems to be no one in this world except him. (To be continued...)
