The "Young Master" in black is Yu Zhengran who practices the "Yunlong Sword Technique". The man in gray behind him is his servant Zuo Qing.

Zhengran ignored Zuo Qing, who looked disdainful, at this moment he was looking at the delicate and focused little face from afar, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without knowing it. The pretty figure and the huge rocks in the sky were soft and hard, and in the faint light fog, it was really a special scenery. The little girl described her as young, but she was outstanding in appearance, exuding a sense of fairy spirit.

From here, she should be painting. At this moment, she seemed to be stunning when she saw a certain scene. She stood up and a gust of wind blew. She was wearing a goose-yellow top and a milky white gauze skirt fluttered in the wind, like a little fairy about to float away with the wind, which made him suddenly feel like he wanted to rush up and hold her. Well, she was just a little fairy, otherwise why would she "float" up the mountain so easily?

"Young Master? Young Master?" Zuo Qing urged softly, "It's time for us to go in. The time for Mr. Yu to make an appointment with the abbot Rukong is about to come."

"Well, let's go." Zhengran looked at the small figure above the big stone in the wind and turned around and walked towards Yuquan Temple.

Shu Qing and the others finally dragged their heavy legs to the last step to the top of the mountain, and just saw Lan Jin put away the painting board. Then they remembered that Lan Jin was carrying a big bag that didn't look heavy on her shoulders. It turned out to be the painting board.

Shu Qingshen took a few breaths before asking in surprise: "Sister Yao'er also brings a drawing board. Have you already drawn a painting when you came up?

Shu Yao smiled and said, "Where is it? It's just that the scenery here is so beautiful. I was happy to see it. I just drew a few strokes."

Shuqing actually really wanted to see the paintings that Shuyao had just drawn, but in the faint expression and tone of Shuyao, she knew that she had no intention of sharing with others, and Lan Jin was about to pack it, so she couldn't ask others to open it again. However, the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper. The more she looked, the more she couldn't see through the painting, and the more she looked, the more she was not simple. Because she had been in contact for more than two years, she knew very well. Shuyao was definitely not a person who could bluff. She must plan to draw with a drawing board, rather than show off.

It is not scary for people who show off their skills. There are so many things that are placed there. It is scary for people who hide low-key people! You don’t know what they have and how many of them are.

Shu Yao had no time to care about Shu Qing's emotions. Mother Liu and Mrs. Yang and the others also came up, and she hurriedly greeted him: "Madam Yang, Mother Liu, come here, rest under the big tree here, drink some water, and we will go in."

Mrs. Yang almost fell on the stone chair: "It's really worse than it every year. I didn't have such weak legs when I came up before?"

The maid next to her handed her a water bag and smiled and said, "Madam, you didn't notice. You have walked fast today and have been using it for a short time. It's less than an hour now. It used to take us more than an hour to come up."

Mrs. Yang said in surprise: "Is that so? Oh, I really didn't notice it. I just couldn't see Yao'er in front of me, so I followed Mother Liu to chase after her. Seeing that Mother Liu was walking easily, I didn't feel how fast we were. The ladies and wives who came together were slower than me. I just felt that I was quite fast. Haha, it means that when I climbed the mountain, I still had to find someone faster than myself."

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Isn't that the reason? Our girl told the second young master that if you should be with people who are stronger than yourself in school, you will see your shortcomings and then you will become stronger. If you are always with people who are weaker than yourself, you will feel that you are quite strong, but the result will be weaker and weaker."

Mrs. Yang thought for a while and looked at Shuyao deeply: "Sister Yao is Linghui. This is a good thing. I will also talk to the two boys in my mansion in the future. I always sit in the well and watch the sky, and I still feel that I am very capable. If they have Yao'er, Wen'er is half well-behaved and sensible, I will laugh."

The two sons of Yang County Magistrate, the older one is 12 years old and the younger one is 8 years old. Mrs. Yang really likes Shu Yao and intends to make Shu Yao for her eldest son.

The three brothers and sisters of Shu Yao have a solid backer and are rich (Shu Yao and sisters have quietly purchased many houses, shops, and fields in the past two years. Others don’t know it, but County Magistrate Yang knows it. Because the industry registration is required to go to the county government office), Shu Jie and Shu Wen have a promising prospect. Shu Yao is the only girl in Xia’s house. Shu Jie and brothers both take Shu Yao first in everything. When Shu Yao gets married, the dowry must not be underestimated. With two powerful brothers, they will be a great help to their future husband’s family.

However, there are two completely different comments about the three brothers and sisters in Xiazhai. One is that they are lucky. You can tell from the changes in Xiazhai over the years. They are delicious tofu and tofu milk, white tiger and red fox, and a large mansion that the Empress Dowager rewards. The precious dragon fruit that no one can grow...

Another theory is that these three siblings are desperate and will defeat their relatives. Otherwise, why would they kill their parents and get better and better? Whoever marrys Shujie or Shu Yao from now on will be defeated?

I heard that this statement was reported by the second house of the Xu Mansion. Hasn’t Xia Zhai always had a good relationship with the Xu Mansion? Why did such words come out? Did they really find that Shu Yao’s three brothers and sisters were desperate, so they didn’t let Shu Yao continue to borrow and study in the Xu Mansion?

It would rather believe that she had something than she had nothing. Mrs. Yang thought she should take a closer look. She could not let her son borrow the power and not borrow it, but was defeated to death.

This is also the reason why she instigated Shu Yao to come with her to listen to the scriptures. She wanted Master Rukong from Yuquan Temple to help her see what Shu Yao's fate is. Will she be able to resist her relatives?

After a while, several people entered Yuquan Temple and a little novice monk came over: "Madam Yang, Master Jingxuan's lecture is still two quarters of an hour. Donors might as well go to the pre-determined meditation room and have some tea. When the time comes, the monk will take the donors to go over and set up the seats.

Shu Qing was really glad that she went to Xia’s house that day, so she could come with Mrs. Yang with Shu Yao, so she had a reserved Zen room to rest, drink tea, and have a predetermined seat. Otherwise, she would have to sit on the stone bench next to her, just like those people on the grass. I wonder if she could squeeze into the seat to listen to Master Jingxuan’s lecture?

The group followed the little novice monk into a relatively large Zen room. This Zen room was still a "suite". In addition to the kang facing the front, there were four people on the main room. In addition to the steaming teapots and several tea cups on the small kang table, there were three chairs on both sides of the room against the wall. There was a small tea table next to it, and there was also a large tea cup on it.

On the side room next door is a small chanting room, with a small statue of Guanyin in front of it.

This is a meditation room for rest in Yuquan Temple specially prepared for the great pilgrims. It is obvious that the kang is prepared for the masters, and the chairs against the wall are entourages and maids sit. The meditation room looks simple, but it is already very good to have such treatment in the temple. It is not very obvious now. In winter, the kang is hot and there is hot tea, which naturally allows the ladies and ladies who climb up the mountain to find a warm feeling and receive the superiority of the great pilgrims.

The front hall is too crowded and noisy, and you need to recite the scriptures multiple times. You can also recite or make wishes in the chanting room of the side room. Each special meditation room is arranged in a specific direction, enjoying the same incense as the main hall, which is "heart".

However, the Buddha statues offered in the chanting room of each meditation room are different, so the pilgrim who comes to worship each time he or she wants to inform him in advance when he or she is booking the meditation room.

For example, Mrs. Yang believes in Guanyin Bodhisattva the most, and this time the statue of Guanyin worships the meditation room where they are located.

Mrs. Yang invited Liu Mama, Shu Yao and Shu Qing to sit on the kang together, drinking tea and chatting. When Liu Mama said that Shu Yao had already fasted for three days before coming, Mrs. Yang and Shu Qing were shocked. Even the little novice monk who was standing by the door could not help but look at Shu Yao. Few girls of this age worshiped Buddha so sincerely, and even when they came, they were forced to bring them by their elders, or just came to play with them.

Not to mention them, Liu's mother thought at first that Shuyao just wanted to come to the mountain to play, but she didn't expect that she was serious and even bathed in the fragrance and then fasted for three days.

What they didn't know was that Shu Yao and Weiyuan Marquis' wife Yao Xuelan went to the Famen Temple in the capital to listen to Master Jingxuan's sutras once in his previous life. He benefited a lot and calmed his manic heart. Master Jingxuan said that she had a Buddhist connection, and that life would be a great disaster, and the root of the disaster lies in his obsession.

After being reborn in her life, Shu Yao believed that there was a Buddha, fate, luck and disaster. She never thought about what advice the master would give her and what disasters she could avoid. She believed that she had arrangements in the dark, and that she could not hide from her, and that she could not even think about it. She just simply wanted to listen to Master Jingxuan's preaching and preaching, so that her mind would calm down and avoid regenerating obsessions that she should not have. In her previous life, she had too deep obsessions about the so-called family.

If you still have any obsession in this life, the elder brother and Shuwen are their deepest obsessions. She wants them to be well and always be well. She doesn’t have to be rich and glorious, but she must be healthy, happy, safe and happy. No one can bully them or kill them like she did in her previous life.

I owe Shuwen in my previous life, and I owe my elder brother even more. In this life, she lives for my elder brother and Shuwen. She wants to protect them! She wants to help them become stronger.

Shuqing only had one feeling. Once again, she felt that she had lived for two lives and could not understand the nine-year-old cousin in front of her.

...

After chatting for a while, the bell of the temple rang, and the little novice monk walked in: "Dear donors, the lecture will begin soon. Please move. The monk will take you to the main hall of the lecture."

Shu Yao and the others were among the early people who entered the hall. They were in front of each other and the futons they knelt on were newer and thicker. Shu Qing secretly complained: All beings are equal? ​​People in the world can never be equal. They are unequal from birth, some are noble and some are poor, some are legitimate and some are illegitimate, some are beautiful and some are ugly, some are smart, some are fools at birth... Even in Buddhist temples where "all beings are equal", the treatment of big pilgrims and ordinary pilgrims is unequal. How can they be equal? ​​(To be continued.
