After entering the capital, Jiang Yunguang had been entangled in trivial matters, and Ye Wuji could not ask him which person in the capital he should challenge. When asking Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan always said that her martial arts was not good enough and that she should practice more before taking on the challenge. This delay lasted a whole month.
The peach blossoms are already in full bloom in Huguo Temple, and the mountains and fields are filled with fragrance. Ye Wuji received an invitation from Zen Master Zhixin to go to Huguo Temple to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, and also had a vegetarian meal cooked by Zen Master Zhixin himself.
Zen Master Zhixin only invited two people, one was Ye Wuji and the other was Shi Yuan. Jiang Yunguang wanted to go, but the eldest princess wanted to go to Guanyin Pavilion to offer incense, so Jiang Yunguang could only accompany her.
The gate of Huguo Temple is not impressive, and it does not look like a royal temple at all. The stone door was covered with moss, and three or two peach blossom petals fell on the stone steps. A round-headed little monk was sweeping the fallen flowers with a big broom.
Along the way, peach blossoms were all over his body and his sleeves were fragrant. Ye Wuji smiled and asked Shi Yuan to bend down and pick off the peach blossom petals on his head.
"If Brother Shi were a hairpin flower, he would have a different flavor." Ye Wuji deliberately teased.
Shi Yuan was not annoyed at all. He was always very tolerant to Ye Wuji. He stretched out his arms to pick a peach blossom from the peach blossom tree above his head, inserted it diagonally into Ye Wuji's bun, and said with a gentle smile: "The peach blossoms on the human face complement each other. .”
His eyes contained the stability of mountains and the soft waves of lakes. Ye Wuji saw himself reflected in his eyes, with reddish cheeks and shy eyebrows. He looked like another person.
Ye Wuji patted his face, ran two steps forward, turned around and smiled at Shi Yuan: "I was just joking, but my eldest brother actually put flowers on my head." She took off the flower branches on her head and pointed. After twisting the tip, he finally refused to throw it away, but put it into the purse on his waist.
"This peach blossom needs a hairpin made by such a beauty." Ye Wuji pointed to a girl in pink clothes in the peach blossom forest and said, "What does my hairpin look like?"
The girl in pink clothes has a pair of big watery eyes, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a beautiful nose and a tan mouth, and she is pretty and charming. When the girl saw Ye Wuji, her eyes suddenly burst into surprise.
The girl held up her skirt and trotted towards Ye Wuji's direction.
By the time she stood in front of Ye Wuji, she was already out of breath. Ye Wuji took out his handkerchief and handed it to her: "Here, wipe away the sweat."
The girl took the handkerchief and thanked her. Then she looked at Ye Wuji and said, "I'm lost, can you take me out?"
"Lost?" Ye Wuji looked at the three characters "Huguo Temple" not far away, then looked at the girl, and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to Huguo Temple?"
"Yes." The girl replied.
Ye Wuji pointed to the plaque on the door of Huguo Temple and said, "You don't recognize those three big characters?"
The girl's two jade-like hands twisted together uneasily: "I, I can't read."
Ye Wuji looked at the girl carefully and saw that the fabric of the clothes and the accessories on her body did not look like a child from a poor family. Not only is she not poor, but the gold and hollow crested hairpin on her head is definitely not something that ordinary people can have. How can such a person be illiterate
Ye Wuji no longer dared to judge a book by its cover since someone stole the package. Even though the girl looked very harmless, she quietly distanced herself from her and asked, "Who did you go up the mountain with?"
"I came with my mother and the servants of the house."
"Then why are you here alone?"
"My cat ran away. I went to chase it and accidentally got separated from my family." The girl burst into tears. "My mother is going to the temple to offer incense. You just need to take me to the temple. I will I won’t cause you any further trouble.”
Ye Wuji pointed at the temple door again and said, "Didn't I tell you, that's the Huguo Temple. You can just walk there by yourself. It's only a two-step walk."
