Lu Zhong escaped in Luonan and was taken back to the Great Elder's Mansion by the guards of the Presbyterian Church. He was also one of the deacons of the Land Farlor at that time, so he was naturally very familiar with this place and knew that he was at the moment the temple was the master of the back house.
Listening to the faint sound of wooden fish in the Buddhist temple, Lu Zhong couldn't help but stand firm and carefully tidy up his clothes. Although he could be free and unrestrained in front of Manager Zhang and those neighbors, he did not dare to act rashly in front of the great elder who could control his own destiny.
"Go in." The guard leader lifted up the cotton curtain of the Buddhist temple.
Lu Zhong nodded, took a deep breath, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the Buddhist temple.
In the Buddhist temple, a statue of the golden-body Tathagata sat high and stared at the thin woman kneeling in front of the cushion with compassion.
The woman was concentrating on chanting Buddha's name, without noticed that someone appeared behind her.
Lu Zhong didn't dare to disturb the other party either. He looked at his nose and his nose, and waited quietly by the side.
The thick cotton curtains covered the sound of wind and snow outside. In this quiet Buddhist temple, there was only the sound of wooden fish hitting people's hearts.
I don’t know how long it took, but after finishing the scriptures, the woman put down the wooden hammer in her hand, picked up three incense sticks, lit them on the butter wax, and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner on the altar. She only heard her praying softly:
"The Buddha blesses the little girl and can reunite with Zhonglang..."
"Huh..." Hearing the woman's prayer, Lu Zhong finally couldn't help but suck in the air.
The woman then heard someone behind her. When her hand shook, the incense of silk was broken several times. She turned around in horror, but when she saw the person coming, the panic on her pale face turned into great joy.
"Zhonglang..."
"You are..." Lu Zhong carefully looked at the other party's excessively decaying face, but he could not help but associate it with the youthful and beautiful face he had been obsessed with.
"I am Yu Nu, Zhonglang!" Yu Nu stepped forward two steps excitedly, and rushed into Lu Zhong's arms like a slutty swallow throwing into the forest.
Lu Zhong let her hold herself tightly, but her face was full of confusion. "How could you be here?"
"It was the Great Elder who brought me back. He still wanted to help Zhonglang seek justice." Yu Nu's face was pressed against Lu Zhong's chest, but he could no longer hear the powerful heartbeat back then. Yu Nu raised his head in surprise, and found that Lu Zhong's complexion was weak and his face was full of vicissitudes. He looked no better than himself.
"What's the reason for asking for justice?" Lu Zhong frowned and pushed Yu Nu away, looking straight into her eyes. "Does the Great Elder dare to provoke Pei Fang?"
Yu Nu also looked at Lu Zhong's eyes, but in those eyes, he could not see the surprise of reunion after the disaster, but instead exuded a strong sense of embarrassment and resistance.
"It's not Pei..." Yu Nu felt his enthusiasm sprinkled on the cold snow, and his voice gradually weakened: "It's Lu Shang."
"Master of the Valve?" Lu Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and he held Yu Nu's shoulder tightly. Even though he lost all his strength, he still pinched her and felt pain. "Tell me clearly, why are you related to my Land Valve Valve again?!"
Seeing Lu Zhong's appearance of eating people, Yu Nu couldn't help but be frightened. He wanted to retreat but couldn't move, but he never dared to say anything again.
"Ahem." Lu Wen, who was listening outside the door, knew that he would not be able to appear.
He coughed lightly and pushed open the door of the Buddhist temple. Only then did Lu Zhong let go of the Yu Nu and hurriedly salute the elder.
"Unworthy son Lu Zhong, pay homage to the Great Elder."
Yu Nu also knelt down and greeted Lu.
"Haha, Lao Sixteen, don't be restrained. When you arrive at your uncle, you will be at your own home."
Lu Wen helped Lu Zhong up with a smile, and said to Yu Nu with a kind look: "Child, don't be afraid. Lu Zhong has suffered a lot in recent years, has a little extreme temperament, and has become more suspicious. You go and rest for a while, and I will enlighten him."
Lu Wen's concubine took Yu Nu's hand and left the Buddhist temple.
.
In the Buddhist temple, Lu Wen first respectfully burned incense to the Buddha, and then signaled Lu Zhong and himself to sit on the futon in front of the Buddha statue.
"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and lightning. You should observe them like this." Lu Wen's kind-eyed and kind-hearted look really looks like a great virtue and goodness. He turned the jasper bead in his hand and looked at Lu Zhong with compassion and said, "The Buddha told us that everything in the world is like a dream, and it is an illusion. Why do you have too much obsession?"
"Uncle taught me a lesson." Lu Zhong looked in his arms, but he sneered in his heart. He said to himself: "If an old man really wants to persuade people to let go, why bother to get that woman back and get me here with great pains?"
"But I guess the elder called me here not to teach Buddhism." Lu Zhong smiled faintly and said, "Besides, my Lu family's son believed in the Master, and it is impolite to say that he is coming but not going."
"Hehe, Lao Sixteen, your temper has not changed for many years." Lu Wen smiled with relief. Although Lu Zhong's martial arts were useless, his sharpness was still there, and the elder was about to use him as a sword envoy, of course he would not think that the blade was too sharp.
"Dare you ask the Great Elder, what does the Yu Nu mean?" Lu Zhong asked the previous question again. If it weren't for the Yu Nu's secret information back then, he wouldn't have been unable to restrain his temperament in front of the Great Elder.
"Tell me the truth." Lu Wen no longer kept him in hiding, and Shi Potian said in shock: "Yu Nu was the thin horse Qing Gongren who was the manager of the clan in the past, Liu Yilan, who personally went to Yangzhou to select."
"What?" Lu Zhongru was struck by lightning and almost fainted. The already pale face lost all blood. For a moment, he lost all his calmness and murmured to himself: "Isn't she the daughter of the Southern Dynasty who came to Luoyang to join the marriage? Why did she become a thin horse in Yangzhou?"
He still clearly remembers the situation when he first met Yu Nu. It was the spring ten years ago. When he practiced martial arts and reached a bottleneck, he went to Baima Temple alone to retreat and recuperate. He met Yu Nu who came to burn incense and was teased by the gangsters. With just one glance, he was deeply attracted by the graceful and elegant Southern Dynasty gold powder.
Lu Zhong, who originally didn't like to meddle in other people's business, involuntarily staged a scene of hero saving beauty. He personally escorted the beauty home, and since then he has been obsessed with it and is here to remember it.
At that time, Lu Zhong had already married Pei and suffered from his tough and domineering nature. Naturally, he left home to go to Baima Temple to recuperate, and he also wanted to hide from a tiger and seek purity. Compared with Pei, Yu Nu, who is as gentle as water and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is the person Lu Zhong longs to stay together forever.
But Yu Nu also fell in love with a noble young man like him, who was both civil and military, at first sight. After a while, the two of them fell in love with each other and could no longer separate. Of course, with Lu Zhong's courage, he did not dare to take a concubine openly. So he secretly bought an exquisite villa and placed Yu Nu inside. After that, he often secretly had a secret meeting with her under various excuses such as practicing martial arts and doing business.
