On the second day after making up their minds to heal their illnesses, the two went to visit Xu Yixian and Shi Huanian together.
Yan Shu once redressed Xu Yixian's wrongdoing, and was kind to him, so he received warm hospitality.
In the wing room, the floor was covered with snow-white felt, and smoke was rising from the bronze incense burner beside the desk. Shi Huanian made green tea for Li Changtian and Yan Shu who were sitting at the low table, poured it into small sapphire cups, and placed it in front of them.
"Master Yan, have you made up your mind?" Shi Huanian asked seriously, "Do you know the consequences of this treatment?"
"Yeah." Yan Shu nodded.
Li Changtian, on the other hand, seemed flustered and restless, eager to figure out every detail, so he asked again and again: "Master, may I ask, that, his injury, headache, drowsiness, etc., can be cured, right?"
With a dignified demeanor, Shi Huanian picked up the sapphire teacup, took a sip, and said, "Well, it will definitely be cured. After the root of the poison is pulled out, Master Yan will be no different from a healthy person, except that he may forget the past."
"Of course, it's also possible that you won't forget."
"Fate and fate are determined by the sky."
"In that case..." Li Changtian looked at Yan Shu, feeling uneasy, "Then let's treat it?"
Yan Shu nodded.
"Okay, I'll call people to prepare. Master Yan needs to stay in my mansion for three days." Shi Huanian said, "Master Li can go back to the mansion first and wait."
"Ah? Can't I accompany you?" Li Changtian asked.
Shi Huanian shook his head: "It's best not to. It will be painful to eradicate the root cause of the disease. I'm worried that Mr. Li's presence will disturb Lord Yan's mind, which is not conducive to eradication of the root cause of the disease."
"Go back and wait for me." Yan Shu said to Li Changtian, "It's only three days."
"Three autumns a day!" Li Changtian said.
Yan Shu smiled lightly.
Li Changtian knew that this matter should be rational and not emotional, so he obeyed Shi Huanian's words and obediently returned to the mansion.
When parting, the two of them didn't want to make it too grand, otherwise it would make people feel uneasy, so they just waved goodbye.
Li Changtian walked a few steps, turned around again, held Yan Shu's face with both hands, and kissed his forehead.
Li Changtian smiled and said, "Master Yan, I still hope that you will not forget me."
"Okay." Yan Shu nodded firmly.
The two bid farewell again, Li Changtian turned his head and did not turn around.
He went back to Yan Shu's mansion alone, looking at the small quiet courtyard, he felt empty.
Although it was only three days, it would be too difficult to wait for three days.
Li Changtian went to the street to buy a few altars of fine wine, hoping to get drunk in the next three days, so that he wouldn't have to wait idly.
Maybe after getting drunk, Yan Shu's illness will be healed when he wakes up.
Didn't forget him either.
The two tied the knot, worshiped the heaven and the earth, drank a cup of wine, and spent a night of festivities in the bridal chamber.
Then I walk side by side and accompany each other for the rest of my life.
Li Changtian walked to the wine shop in the alley, and suddenly heard two old women chatting.
"Hey, did you go to worship the Bodhisattva yesterday?"
"Go, go, Bodhisattva bless you."
Li Changtian paused, took out the double lotus jade pendant worn around his neck and hidden in his clothes, held it up in front of his eyes, and looked at it thoughtfully.
The word "peace" and a short passage of scriptures are engraved on the jade pendant of flawless white jade, and accompanied Li Changtian through difficult moments one after another during the days of war and chaos, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Li Changtian turned around suddenly and left the winery.
For these three days, he didn't intend to get drunk.
Li Changtian decided to go to the Bodhi Temple to pray for Yan Shu's safety.
Believe it or not, Li Changtian just wants to do something.
Busy people don't have time to worry and worry.
Li Changtian went back to the mansion to lead a horse, and after looking for the way, Yuma left the capital in a hurry and searched all the way.
After all, he still didn't know the way, and after searching for a day, he arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Bodhi Temple was located.
At the foot of the mountain stands a large incense burner about three meters high, where many pilgrims burn incense and worship - after all, not everyone can climb the 999 extremely steep stone steps.
When Li Changtian arrived, it was late at night, insects were singing and birds were singing, the cold was clear and empty.
The foot of the mountain, which is bustling with activity during the day and full of incense, is now deserted.
Seeing that Li Changtian wanted to climb the mountain, a pilgrim persuaded him: "Little brother, go to the station to rest for one night, and come back tomorrow morning. Look at the steep steps. There are only three or four hours on the top of the mountain, so you can't climb it."
Li Changtian smiled at him.
"It's okay! I'm climbing now, and the dawn will arrive just in time!"
After finishing speaking, Li Changtian went up the mountain regardless.
Pilgrim's kind reminder is not nonsense
Although Li Changtian was physically strong, it was dark and windy that night, not only could he not see the road clearly, but also the stone steps were narrow and steep, and he had to use his hands and feet to climb up several places.
Li Changtian was still thinking about prostrating every time he walked up the 333 stone steps, so he counted silently in his heart, counting extra carefully, for fear that he would make a mistake.
But after climbing three hundred and thirty-three stone steps, Li Changtian realized that he was too worried, because there was a small Temple of Heaven built with bluestone slabs, facing south.
Ponderosa pines and green cypresses grow on the mountain wall of the Temple of Heaven, and some branches stretch out to the Temple of Heaven, as if to welcome every devout believer who has something in his heart.
It was dark and the moonlight was dim. Li Changtian groped for a while and found a flat place in the Temple of Heaven, then knelt down on his knees and kowtowed his head.
After knocking, Li Changtian continued to climb up.
The more he went up the mountain, the steeper it became. Li Changtian couldn't see the road clearly, he staggered every step, and even tripped several times. Although he walked extra cautiously, his clothes were still cut by branches and weeds. Injured cheek and arm.
Li Changtian spent four hours climbing the 999 stone steps.
When the sky broke, the Bodhi Temple was close at hand.
Li Changtian was in a mess, the black hair tied up by the headband was crooked, and there were some fallen leaves and dead branches mixed in. His clothes were also scratched several times, bloodstains were faintly visible, and his knees were covered with mud, which he couldn't even pat off.
Although it was dawn in the east, the Bodhi Temple was not closed.
Li Changtian straightened his clothes and blue hair a little, then lifted his legs and walked in.
As soon as you step into the gate of the temple, you can see an incense burner in the middle of the temple that is exactly the same as the foot of the mountain. Red incense is burned in the incense burner, and green smoke is curling up. The smell of incense is extra peaceful.
The Bodhi Temple is located on the top of the mountain. It is dawn at this moment. Among the floating clouds on the top of the mountain, the red sun is slowly rising, hanging on the top of the main hall. Li Changtian is in it, as if blending into a breathtakingly beautiful picture.
Li Changtian walked to the cattail mat of the incense burner, knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and slowly bent down.
In the main hall came the sound of monks reciting scriptures.
Li Changtian suddenly felt extremely calm.
There are eight hardships in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, parting from love, long-term resentment, unable to ask, unable to let go.
Pray for the Buddha devoutly, just not suffering.
Li Changtian has experienced too many life and death in his life.
And now.
May those who leave rest in peace, and may those who accompany you be healthy.
May he live a life of peace and joy.
-
Li Changtian was kneeling and kowtowing when suddenly two young monks walked over with brooms.
"Huh? Why is there someone there so early?" A young monk's voice was clear.
"There must be something important, I want to ask the Buddha." Another young monk said.
"Ah, speaking of it, I haven't seen Lord Yanshu for a long time." The little monk said with a clear voice.
When Li Changtian heard the familiar name, he immediately raised his head. He stood up, walked in front of the two young monks, and asked with a smile, "You two little masters, this Yan Shu you are talking about is Master Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?"
The two young monks put the broom in their hands aside, clasped their hands together, and recited Amitabha: "Almsgiver, are you Lord Yanshu's friend?"
Li Changtian nodded and asked curiously, "How did you two know him?"
The young monk with a clear voice said: "Master Yan often comes here."
Li Changtian was taken aback: "Often? Such a steep and difficult stone step, does he come often?"
"That's right." Another young monk said, "Master Yan has a serious heart and is extremely pious. Every time he comes here, he kowtows and kneels for a long time!"
"Then little master, do you know what Yan Shu is thinking about?" Li Changtian asked.
The two young monks looked at each other and said.
"I know, Lord Yan said that the person he likes is far away in the frontier to protect his home and protect the country, and his safety is uncertain. He came to pray for the safety of the person he loves."
Li Changtian was stunned for a long time, and thanked the two little masters.
He walked out of the mountain gate, stood in front of the Bodhi Temple, and looked down.
The mountain road is steep and straight, with a hundred steps and ten folds, making it extremely difficult to climb.
Li Changtian suddenly felt that he should go back.
Li Chang went down the mountain, rode on his horse, rushed to the capital, and returned to Yanshu's mansion.
It took him two days to go back and forth, and counting the day Yan Shu left, it was already the third day.
Li Changtian pushed open the door of the mansion and walked in.
The main hall, wing rooms and yards are all quiet.
Yan Shu hasn't come back yet.
Li Changtian was suddenly at a loss.
But he is not decadent. Although Yan Shu's failure to return made him feel at a loss for a moment, he quickly found a way to relieve it.
Li Changtian decided to keep himself busy.
So he picked up a wooden bucket and went to the well in the small yard, preparing to fetch a bucket of water and tidy up the house.
While fetching water, Li Changtian thought for no reason of those days when he just traveled to this world and was in Chuyu Town.
At that time, he was only confused, helpless, and didn't know what to do.
No branches to live in, poor and sad.
But it was then.
When the osmanthus flowers fall.
When Li Changtian turned around, he found that Yan Shu, who had obviously left Yuzhen, had returned for some reason.
At that time, Li Changtian was also fetching water.
as now.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Changtian suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
He turned to look.
that person.
White clothes are better than snow, warm as jade.
Li Changtian stared blankly at him.
He was obviously such a cold person, but now he smiled slightly with his lips curled up.
he called softly.
"Long days."
"I'm back."
Floating clouds are floating, duckweed has no roots, and floating flocs are floating.
Sigh in this life, human life is thin and empty.
Fortunately, I met him, and from then on, there was no hesitation, no confusion, no wandering.
At a glance, you know it is your hometown.
