Today, the emperor visits Huainan in person, and Lin Qing, the prince concubine of Su Jingmo, who is the crown prince, will naturally accompany him, as well as King Yu Sujingyan.
During the small summer season, Chuzhou is different from the dryness of the central capital city. It is always rainy and rainy.
"The doctor said that the princess was homesick and sad, and the cold was never good."
Taking a leisurely taste of the Mingqian Longjing offered in southern Zhejiang, Su Jingmo smiled and said, "I'm afraid that homesickness is fake, but lovesickness is real."
This time, Su Jingyan also came for the parade. The two of them hadn't seen each other for more than a year after they got married. At this moment, the person who was thinking of him was right in front of him, but Yueyu hadn't said a word. How could they not hurt Acacia? What's more, Lin Qing will have to return to the capital in a few days, and it will be even more difficult for Lin Qing to see Su Jingyan, how could she not worry
Putting down the teacup, Jing Mo's eyebrows and eyes twitched, "Sincerely."
"exist!"
"Is there any good place to enjoy the wind and moon in this Chuzhou?"
"Well... this... I heard that the girl Chu Qingyi from Fenglailou is very beautiful..."
Hearing this, Su Jingmo was stunned for a while, and after a while, he laughed loudly: "I'm talking about a clean place, enjoying the flowers and moon, not that kind of 'wind and moon'."
"Damn it!"
"That's all." Su Jingmo looked at the guard kneeling in front of him, and shook his head. He did indulge a bit on weekdays, and often went to those fireworks fields, so it's no wonder the guard misunderstood.
Seeing that the Lord was not to blame, Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Tanhua Temple is a Buddhist temple, it is a quiet and good place."
"Tanhua Temple?"
"Yes, although the subordinates who live in northern Zhejiang are not from Chuzhou, I have heard the name of Tanhua Temple. The Cangfeng Mountain where this temple is located was once full of epiphyllum flowers. They donated money to build Tanhua Temple, which is named after the epiphyllum that is full of temples."
"Then go have a look."
"Yes! That princess over there... "
"Let her recuperate in the courtyard. If the emperor asks, he will say that I will not be cruising together for the past few days." Su Jingmo stood up and walked outside the house, "Prepare the horse!"
With only one guard who knew the way, Su Jingmo rode a horse and went to Tanhua Temple.
Although Tanhua Temple is in the suburbs of Chuzhou City, Su Jingmo set off late, and by the time he got there, the sun had already turned to the west. Fortunately, the road was not muddy when we saw the sun today. Arrive before.
Tanhua Temple is at the highest point of Cangfeng Mountain. The temple is not big, hidden in the green trees, but there are many people who go to enter the incense to listen to Zen. There are fewer people in the temple. The cigarettes are floating, and there is a quiet and solemn atmosphere, and the pine and cypress are dense.
Entering the main hall, I put on incense and worshipped the Buddha. Su Jingmo donated a lot of sesame oil money, put his hands together, and said to the little novice beside him, "Little Master, my master and servant are passing through this place and would like to spend the night in the temple?"
Seeing that the man in front of him was handsome and handsome and dressed more luxuriously, the little novice replied, "If the donor has no place to go, there are still a few rooms in the backyard for pilgrims to rest, but the temple rooms are simple and the tea and rice are rude, I don't know if the donor can get used to it. ."
"It's a blessing to be able to spend the night, why would you mind."
"The little monk went to report to the abbot, and the donor will wait for a while."
"There is Mr. Lao."
The front hall of Tanhua Temple is not large, but the backyard is much wider. The apricot-yellow courtyard walls and the blue-gray temple ridge can be seen everywhere.
After passing through the corridor and the atrium, we went to the wing room. The little novice arranged the accommodation to deliver fast food before leaving.
One table, one chair, one bed, simple and empty, but it's better than being anywhere on the battlefield. After eating some fast food and asking the guards outside the door to ask for some hot water for a simple wash, Su Jingmo pushed open the back window and looked at the backyard of the temple.
There is only a small dilapidated meditation room in the backyard, and the rest is short-lived.
It's just that Su Jingmo, who wanted to wait for the flowers to bloom, waited for a long-lasting heavy rain, banging on the eaves, and the wind was blowing.
He shook his head and chuckled, "It seems that this short-lived flower won't bloom tonight."
Just as he was about to close the window, he heard a few soft coughs coming from the wing next to him.
"Cough cough, although the rain is a bit heavier, the epiphyllum is not easy to bloom, but there will always be a single one in this yard that will bloom, and you will have to wait until you see it."
The rain was so loud that the sound from the next door could not be heard clearly. He couldn't see who was behind the window, and he could only vaguely tell what he said.
It turns out that there is also someone next to him who is guarding the short-lived flowers
Thinking of this, the corners of Su Jingmo's lips curled slightly, and he raised his voice: "It seems that Xiongtai will have to wait for the flowers to bloom tonight before giving up."
"The epiphyllum in Tanhua Temple is related to the Buddha, so I wanted to come and see it when I traveled here."
"Oh? What Xiongtai said was about seeing the Buddha's light in this mountain a hundred years ago?"
"No."
Hearing these two words, Su Jingmo asked curiously, "What else is there?"
"Did you know Epiphyllum is also known as Veduo Flower?"
Su Jingmo shook his head, "I don't know."
"According to legend, Epiphyllum was originally a flower god. She blooms every day and the four seasons are brilliant. Only one year, a young man came to the mountain where she was located. The young man loved flowers and plants, and he watered her during droughts and floods. She protected her from the rain, and over time she fell in love with him, so she took the form of a human and stayed with Wei Tuo. Later, the Jade Emperor found out that he captured the flower god and demoted her to a short-lived flower that only bloomed for a moment every year. The young man sent him to become a monk at Ling Vulture Mountain and gave him the name Weituo, so that he could forget his past, concentrate on practicing Buddhism, and gradually achieve something. But the flower god could never forget him. She knew that in the early summer of each year, Wei Tuo would always come down the mountain to help him. The Buddha was picking morning dew sencha. So she bloomed the energy she had gathered for a whole year at that moment. She hoped that Veduo could look back at her and remember her…”
"What happened later? But do you remember?" Su Jingmo asked, unable to hear the voice on the side.
"No, thousands of years have passed. Weituo went down the mountain every year to collect the morning dew, and the epiphyllum bloomed silently every year. Weituo never remembered her. Later, a temple was built in the place where the epiphyllum was located. A mortal man could see her and asked her why she was sad. She just shook her head but said nothing. He would ask her the same thing every ten years at the same time, until eighty years later, when he saw that he was old, he would ask her. He told him the reason. After listening to the old man closed his eyes and sat down, the time gradually passed, and the sun set, the old man said: 'The short-lived is Wei Tuo, why is there such a thing wrong? After speaking, the old man passed away immediately, and went to the Buddha country with the flower god. The flower god saw Weida in the Buddha country. Weida finally remembered the karma from the previous life, and the Buddha knew that he would let Weida go down to the world and cut off the unfinished karma."
"'The short-lived flower is Wei Tuo, what's wrong with such a relationship? God punishes me to suffer, and the sky has no eyes, I will open it'" Su Jingmo read this sentence and smiled, "But why can mortals see the flower god, but This successful Vedo can't see it? I'm afraid his heart no longer wants to see it."
After Su Jingmo finished saying this, he didn't hear anyone on the side reply, and after waiting for a while, laughter came.
"Hahaha, Xiongtai Gao Jian, Xiaosheng has never thought about this, but it makes perfect sense to hear you say it."
Su Jingmo could hear the sadness in the laughter, he didn't speak, and the man who was separated by a window and a wall didn't care.
He could only hear him sighing like he was talking to himself: "Yes, how can he not see, maybe he just pretended not to see those eyes that love him so much... That's all..."
The sigh swayed into Su Jingmo's heart through this cool summer night, Su Jingmo frowned slightly and clenched his fists unconsciously.
For some reason, I felt annoyed in my heart.
Looking at the rain dripping from the eaves, Su Jingmo tapped the window edge with his fingers, "Xiong Taiyuan is also an infatuated lover."
"I've never spoken to anyone."
"You said that this temple has a relationship with the Buddha. Could it be that this Buddhist temple is the legendary temple? But I heard that this Buddhist temple was built a hundred years ago."
"It was indeed built well a hundred years ago, but I got this legend from the west. The place where the epiphany blooms mentioned in the legend is the east of Huainan. I followed the legend to find it, and this is the most likely place. Look at the small meditation room in the backyard, I asked the historian of Chuzhou City, and he said that this meditation room existed long before the temple was built, and I really don’t know the exact year.”
"I came to see you because of my fate with the Buddha, and I must have something to ask for. I just don't know what Xiongtai is asking for?"
"...want to meet someone..."
"… Who?"
"One, beloved."
The night was deep, and it was clear that they had not even seen each other, and they had not even asked their names. The two, who had never met by chance, chatted for a long time.
"Flowers are blooming!"
It wasn't until there was a call from the side that Su Jingmo realized that the Epiphyllum in the corner of the room was quietly blooming. White to the bone, dripping with rain, extremely beautiful.
"When I returned from a dream at midnight, the beauty under the moon appeared. This short-lived flower is really poignant and beautiful." Su Jingmo said jokingly: "This short-lived flower is rare to see in the rain. It seems that people who Xiongtai want to see will be able to see it."
"Haha, still missing."
"Huh? Why?"
"I prefer him to be happy and healthy than to meet each other."
Seeing that the rain was light, the voices of the people in the wing next to him became clearer. Su Jingmo felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.
Subconsciously, Su Jingmo wanted to see the person across the wall, but as soon as the idea came up, he smiled and shook his head, how do we meet in the middle of the night
"It's late at night, and Epiphyllum has also watched, so let's rest early."
When the voice came, Su Jingmo replied with a smile, "Okay."
Let's wait until tomorrow, and see what this infatuated lover who waits for flowers to bloom at night looks like.
However, when it was dawn, the wing next door was already empty, and the scholar who traveled to study left when it was dawn.
"The donor asked me to give you this letter before he left."
Su Jingmo took the letter and opened it, and the letter wrote: "Leave without saying goodbye, but the study tour is long and must not be delayed. Thinking of the story I told last night, when the mortal passed away, he also said to the flower god, 'The origin, the fate, the fate and the end. I don't know why I don't want to tell you this sentence, maybe your voice is a bit similar to that person, which makes Xiaosheng dazed and makes Xiaosheng reluctant. For this, Xiaosheng is very sorry. Friends are happy and healthy."
Su Jingmo put the unsigned letter on the table and closed his eyes. He remembered that the person said last night that he wanted to see someone. He remembered the familiar voice.
"Chenghe, go back to the city."
"Yes!"
A flash in the pan, just for Vedo...
—————
Seeing the man in his arms wake up and staring at him, Qin Cheng smiled and leaned forward to kiss his lips, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just suddenly remembered a past event."
"It's still early, sleep a little longer?"
Su Jingmo's brows and eyes curved, raised his hand around Tan Cheng's neck, and smiled: "You always wake up earlier than me."
