The next day, Annoto filed a leave of absence with Emperor Jiang and did not go to the morning court, because he wanted to visit his master.
Jiang Di thought that she had never stopped coming since she came back. She had been back to Beijing for two days and had not visited Master Xuyun yet. So he waved his hand and agreed generously to her request.
Because I had been thinking about the old man's wine for a long time, Annuo rode out of the imperial city early in the morning and headed straight for Longshan Temple.
It's two days late, I hope the old man has not had time to escape.
Because I had to ride a horse, and I might have to do it later, Annuo was wearing a white dress today.
As for why it is white again, it’s really not that she is deliberately pretending.
Her clothes and accessories were prepared in advance by Ye Ying, the girl seemed to love white especially. Every time she gave her clothes either white or silver.
Annuo personally prefers simpler colors, so she went there. She would wear whatever clothes she gave her.
Longshan Temple is a royal temple and is not too far from the imperial city.
It takes half an hour to ride a carriage, and it takes a little more than two quarters of an hour to get there.
Annuo's horse is a war horse, and it took less than two hours from the Imperial City to Longshan Temple.
If Doudou were there, the speed might be faster, but she was not willing to let Doudou follow them and would not meet Doudou again until the army returned to the court.
Annuo was half a person from Longshan Temple. After she settled the horse and went up the mountain, the little novice monk who greeted the pilgrims at the entrance of the temple immediately smiled and greeted him.
"Amitabha, uncle, please be fine!"
Annuo clasped his hands together and chuckled, returning a very standard Buddhist etiquette: "Hello, Master Jing'an!"
Master Xuyun did not worship his master when he entered the temple, but he was of the same generation as the abbot of the presidency, so everyone called him according to this generation.
Annuo is not very old, but he is very senior in the temple. He is the youngest among the uncles, so everyone directly calls her junior uncle.
"My master is still in the temple, right?"
The little shaman pursed his lips and smiled before speaking: "Two days ago, Master Xuyun was packing his luggage and saying that he was going to travel for a while. But when he was about to leave, he happened to meet Uncle Vanka and returned, so he had not yet left!"
In other words, the old man is still in the temple.
Annuo gently curled the corners of his lips.
It seems that the senior brother is back at the right time. If they come back later, they will really let the old man escape.
"It's good to be in the temple. I'll go and visit my master!"
The little novice monk didn't think much about it, and after bowing to her, he also told her where Master Xuyun was now.
When the old man found out that he couldn't slip away, Annuo was not in a hurry. After entering the temple, he did not rush to find him. Instead, he went to the main hall to properly lit an incense stick of Buddha statues worshipped in the hall.
She doesn't believe in Buddhism, but because of the old man, she doesn't believe in Buddhism but will respect these Buddhas.
Every time she comes to the temple, she will come to the main hall to carefully sing an incense stick.
After inserting the incense into the incense burner, Annuo turned around and walked towards the old man's yard.
