Chapter 407

All troubles are in the Jade Buddha! Lin Wanrong stared at the note in a daze. What do these two sentences, like a verse but not a verse, like a fan but not a fan, mean? Literally, it seems to be referring to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The Jade Buddha Temple had been there when he first came to the capital, and he also met Xu Zhiqing there for the first time. In addition, the temple was in ruins and dilapidated, and only a huge reclining Buddha left some impression. Now, doesn't the old emperor's two criticisms mean that he didn't say anything?

Seeing him in a daze, Xu Zhiqing glanced at the note on his hand, and when she saw these two sentences, she was slightly stunned, recalling how the two met, and asked softly, "When you went to the Jade Buddha Temple, you were looking for Miss Xiao Qingxuan. Is it?"

Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly and shook the note in his hand: "I'm not a good man and a woman, do I go to the temple when I have nothing to do? It was Qingxuan who made an appointment with me to meet at the Jade Buddha Temple in Beijing on the seventh day of July this year, and I rushed to see it. Now the emperor This one is no different from what I know."

Miss Xu took the Zhu batch without saying a word, looked at it carefully, shook her head and said, "Don't be disappointed. Today, Miss Xiao suddenly appeared and disappeared. It seems that there is something unspeakable. I see this word as a The Tibetan inscription couplet, the emperor has a lot of wisdom, and the imperial approval may not be as simple as you think, but it must have a profound meaning, it is better to go to the Jade Buddha Temple and have a look, maybe you will find something."

Xu Zhiqing's analysis was reasonable, and Lin Wanrong snorted: "The Jade Buddha Temple is definitely going to go. It's just that the emperor and the old man are not interesting. I worked so hard to help him think of an idea. He knew Qingxuan's whereabouts but didn't tell me. It's irritating."

"You're courting death?!" Xu Zhiqing hurriedly covered his mouth with the note. I looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so I was a little relieved, and glared at him with anger: "In the inner courtyard of the palace, you criticize the emperor, you don't want to live anymore?"

He is my father-in-law, and I criticized him not once or twice, and Lin Wanrong didn't care. Seeing Miss Xu's angry and worried look, knowing that she was worried about herself, a touch of emotion surged in her heart, she suddenly smiled, took her hand and said, "Miss Xu, you stayed in the palace because you sent a letter for me on purpose. Is it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Zhiqing's face was hot, her heart was a little flustered, she hurriedly took back her small hand from his palm, and said angrily: "The ghost has the time to wait for you. I see you as a talent. People, it's too wasteful, so I want to do something for Dahua, don't think about it."

I want to go wrong? Lin Wanrong smiled and sighed: "In fact, Miss Xu, you are a very good person, rich in knowledge, beautiful in appearance, and good in figure. If you can calm down and pursue me wholeheartedly, alas. I am currently in a period of emotional confusion, said It may not let you succeed."

Xu Zhiqing blushed when she heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "What nonsense, who is going to pursue you? You'll be confused!" She stepped lightly on her feet. He hurriedly walked outside the palace, not far away, and suddenly stomped his feet lightly, and said angrily: "You are a dead person? What are you doing here, why don't you go to the Jade Buddha Temple to find your Miss Qingxuan? ? If it's too late,

It would be a great pity to miss her. "

A word reminded Lin Wanrong, he pulled his leg and ran out, Xu Zhiqing gritted his teeth. Pulling on his sleeve suddenly, he said seriously, "I'll go with you!"

"Let's go together?" Lin Wanrong gave her a strange look: "I'm looking for my wife, what are you doing?"

With a serious expression, Xu Zhiqing said lightly, "It's very simple, I'll help you find Miss Xiao as soon as possible. I've fulfilled my wish, and then serve my Dahua wholeheartedly."

This reason is noble. Lin Wanrong also had nothing to say, and took a step to go out. Miss Xu held up the skirt with both hands, and carefully stepped on the rain and followed behind him.

When Fang arrived at the palace gate, he saw Xu Zhiqing's carriage parked there, the little maid glanced at the two of them, hurried up to meet them, brushed the rain off her body and said in surprise, "Miss, why did you come out with Young Master Lin? Didn't you say in the morning that you don't want to see him again?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Zhiqing blushed pretty and said softly, "When did I say I didn't see him? You heard it wrong." Speaking of the back, her voice became much smaller unconsciously, with a guilty conscience. Head down.

Wasn't it just a joke with you in the morning, worth your annoyance? Lin Wanrong pretended not to hear the conversation between the maid and the young lady. Seeing that the maid Xu was getting into the carriage with the curtain on, he made a haha ​​and said: "Miss Xu, you ride in the carriage first, and I will follow in the rain. You can rest assured. , I'll be fast."

Xu Zhiqing gave him an angry look, and said softly, "If you want to come up, come up, but you have to find so many reasons to make people pity you?"

The little maid Yuzhu gave a smirk and said, "Young Master, Miss invites you to get in the car."

"You won't kick me off this time." Lin Wanrong cautiously climbed into the car and saw Miss Xu looking at him in the car, with no signs of doing anything, so he relaxed his mind. , Sitting in comfortably.

Xu Zhiqing turned her head away from looking at him, her crystal beautiful neck was covered with a faint pink, and she whispered, "I've never seen such a timid person. Where did the courage go when they did evil in Shandong?"

Lin Wanrong sighed and said to himself, "Hugh, bring up the sad things. You did something good in Shandong, but you were caught and beaten. The bruises all over the body have not improved until now. It really hurts my heart."

Xu Zhiqing spat lightly, feeling uncomfortable all over her body, so she didn't dare to speak. The little maid Yuzhu didn't know what the mystery was being played by her young lady and Young Master Lin. Seeing the young lady's beautiful face, and Young Master Lin sitting there, she couldn't figure out what the mystery was.

No one spoke all the way, and the inside of the carriage was extremely quiet. Miss Xu listened to the dripping rain outside, like her own heartbeat.

The carriage trotted fast on the water and hurried out of the city. After half an hour, Yuzhu looked out with her probe and called back, "Miss, Young Master, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is here."

Xu Zhiqing came back to her senses with an "ah" sound, and murmured, "Arriving so soon?"

"It's so slow to arrive?" Lin Wanrong's words came out at the same time as Xu Zhiqing, but they had two completely different meanings. Seeing Miss Xu glaring angrily, she hurriedly made a haha ​​and said, "I mean that the carriage runs slowly, not as fast as my heart is flying, Miss Xu must not misunderstand, in fact, I really want to stay with you for a while longer. ."

He got out of the car, and the rain sprinkled on his face, which made people look refreshed. The misty green hills in the distance were hidden in the thin rain and mist, like a veiled fairy, extraordinarily attractive.

In the spring rain, the walls of the Jade Buddha Temple collapsed and were broken everywhere. The rafters that were erected from time to time, and the bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, were no different from when they first came.

Xu Zhiqing got off the carriage, the little maid held an oil-paper umbrella, and the two stood far away from him. In the misty rain, the green mountains and green waters in the distance seem so ethereal and untouchable. Xu Zhiqing sighed softly and slowly chanted: "Last night, the stars and the wind, the rain hit the tower and the mist, who's little actress sang a song, half a teardrop, half a strum!"

When visiting the Jade Buddha Temple again, Lin Wanrong was in a very complicated mood. Not only did the appearance of Qingxuan bring some new hope, but he was also afraid that the greater the hope, the more disappointment he would experience. Looking at the broken Duanyu, he couldn't take his steps away for a while.

"That's it." Xu Zhiqing chuckled softly. Interrupting Lin Wanrong's contemplation, he looked up and saw that Xu Zhiqing had walked to the temple with jade beads, the only intact place. It was the last time I encountered Xu Zhiqing as a shelter from the rain. With a faint smile on her face, Miss Xu said something to Yuzhu and looked back at him again.

The little maid giggled: "It turns out that Miss and Young Master Lin know each other, and there is still such a good story, no wonder you are so familiar."

"Isn't it familiar?" Lin Wanrong walked up with a smile and patted the pillars beside the door, a few deep arrow marks were clearly visible: "Your young lady's viciousness is unparalleled in the world. If I hadn't run fast, I would be afraid. He has long since become a ghost in this lonely temple."

Thinking of the past, Xu Zhiqing couldn't help laughing, she covered her lips and said with a chuckle: "Who made you such a thief, you are born like a bad person. A woman is hiding from the rain in a ruined temple. You want to break in, if you are bullied, it's okay Don't shoot your hornet's nest. It's already cheap for you."

The two women laughed together, and Miss Xu gradually lowered her head. She was afraid of being bullied by him when she first met her, but after getting to know her, the bullied by him became numb, and even became a habit. how to explain.

Lin Wanrong laughed and glanced at Xu Zhiqing, what's wrong with bullying you, as long as I do something, I can bully you for pleasure, believe it or not!

Although the Jade Buddha Temple occupies a large area, it is in ruins everywhere. Only the Maitreya Buddha lying in a huge alcove can vaguely see the prosperous scene at the beginning. He took out the kit from the old emperor, and scrutinized the two sentences again: "All troubles are in the Jade Buddha. Now it's in the Jade Buddha Temple, but you can't see anything, old man, don't fool me like that! "

Xu Zhiqing also stopped talking and laughing, walked slowly to his side, stared at him, and said, "These two sentences seem to have a Zen meaning. Think back, when she parted with Miss Xiao, did she say anything else? Yes? Didn't you mention anything else related to this Jade Buddha Temple?"

When I was on Mount Tu, if I hadn’t been alert, I would have been dismissed by Qingxuan long ago. I hadn’t even heard of the name of the Jade Buddha Temple at that time, so how could I have heard Qingxuan mention the information about the Jade Buddha Temple.

Seeing Lin San shaking his head, Xu Zhiqing was also disappointed for a while. If he couldn't find Xiao Qingxuan, wouldn't it be the time when he would never serve the country? Immediately, there was an inexplicable surprise in her heart. She hurriedly shook her head and put aside her messy thoughts: "Don't worry, there must be other secrets in the emperor's imperial approval."

All troubles are in the Jade Buddha! Lin Wanrong recited two words silently, and slowly stomped back and forth in the hall, his eyes fell on the huge jade Buddha.

All are in the Jade Buddha, all are in the Jade Buddha, an electric light flashed through his mind, he suddenly clapped his palm, and said with joy: "In the Jade Buddha, in the Jade Buddha, I know, I know!"

He frantically ran towards the jade Buddha several feet tall, slowly stroking the cold stone Buddha. This stone Buddha is carved on the mountain wall, and there are dozens of people. With his height and arm length, he will only be able to touch the ankle of the stone Buddha.

Miss Xu was also surprised, she picked up the long skirt and ran to him: "In the Jade Buddha? You mean, there is a secret in the belly of this Jade Buddha? Oh, why didn't I think of it!"

"Actually, your smartness is a little worse than mine. If you work hard, you may have a chance to surpass." Lin Wanrong was in a good mood and turned his head to tease.

Miss Xu looked at him with a charming smile: "I want you to tell me, I already knew it. Except for bragging that you are better than me, you may not be able to beat me in other ways."

Xu Zhiqing's hair in a bun and her temples were stained with little raindrops, and her pretty cheeks were full of happy smiles. The bright red cherry lips were slightly raised, like a young woman who was pregnant with spring, and a shy girl. Lin Wanrong was moved and looked at her with a slight smile: "Miss Xu, thank you!"

"Thank me for what?" Seeing him staring at her, Xu Zhiqing panicked, and hurriedly turned her head and whispered.

"Thank you for coming with me." Lin Wanrong sighed: "Actually, I was in a really bad mood just now. If it wasn't for you to accompany me, I really don't know what I would have done?"

Xu Zhiqing's face turned red. He whispered: "You are usually giggling and not serious, and you can do something big. It's your feelings for this young lady Qingxuan that are beyond my expectations. This is not what you usually do. I don't care about style."

"The relationship between me and Qingxuan is beyond your imagination, and even beyond my own imagination." Lin Wanrong smiled: "I don't spend much time with her, but in this world, As for the person who knows me best, Qingxuan is none other than Qingxuan. She is a smart woman who knows me and understands me. She even sacrificed herself to save my life. If you were me, what would you do?"

After talking about himself and Qingxuan in Jinling, I heard that this Miss Xiao could actually talk to Lin Sanbing Zhuye. This ability can't even compare to herself, Xu Zhiqing couldn't help but sigh, and sighed: "This Miss Xiao is very affectionate, knows you love you, and allows you to live and die, no wonder you miss her so much. Me, even if I lost my life for her, it was worth it."

"It's not okay to lose your life." Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Two people really love each other, you have to expect that you can't go before her."

"Can't go before her?" Xu Zhiqing asked in confusion: "What does this mean? Do you expect the person you like to die before you?"

Lin Wanrong nodded. He smiled and said: "For the sake of helping me so much today, I will teach you a lesson, which you will use when you marry your husband. The highest state of loving someone is to keep watch over her until she gets married. Life is over. Take all the sadness and pain of lovesickness on your own. Do you understand?"

I had never heard of such a novel theory, and Miss Xu was fascinated by it. Tears rolled in his eyes, and he suddenly lowered his head and said, "You're right. Lin San, where did you learn these things?"

"Self-study." Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I am a talented and intelligent person, I believe you have seen it.

Xu Zhiqing looked at him deeply, and said softly, "I just don't believe one thing. If the person you love dies first, can you still live? If it were me, I would never live in this world."

The matter of martyrdom has existed since ancient times, but Lin Wanrong's education is no longer advocated. When Miss Xu mentioned it, he was silent for a while, and said softly: "Even even, you and I have agreed for a hundred years. Three years on the bridge."

"If anyone dies at the age of ninety-seven, he will wait three years on the bridge!" Miss Xu muttered to herself, tears streaming down her face: "Where did you learn the poetry from, and you came to deceive me in tears. "

"How do you know? Stealing some poems to deceive girls is my specialty." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

"I don't know how many poor women have been deceived by this evil spirit." Miss Xu blushed, pursed her lips a few times, choked a few times, and slowly wiped away her tears: "Lin San, can you tell me, Before Miss Xiao, did you like other women?"

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and then he hit haha: "Who still remembers these embarrassing things, I am very dedicated, it's not that you don't know."

"I don't believe you." Xu Zhiqing covered her lips with a smile, and said in a loss: "You must have liked other women, I can see it. The woman you love must be the happiest person in the world. Miss Xiao is really very happy. Lucky."

"That's natural." Lin Wanrong said boldly: "I have a wise saying: I love you until you live, I love you until you die, I love you until you want to die. numb!"

Xu Zhiqing covered her lips and smiled, and a soft light appeared on her face: "It's only been serious for a while, and then it's so unserious again. Just now, Lin San is the most serious Lin San I've ever seen. If you are like this every day, I guarantee you can deceive many ladies."

Lin Wanrong spread her hands and said helplessly: "This is difficult, some young ladies like me being serious, some like me being serious, and it's difficult for me to be a person! Miss Xu, do you like my seriousness. Or not seriousness? "

"The ghost likes you!" Xu Zhiqing snorted, easily discerning his tricks, her face was slightly hot, when he was serious, he was deep like a starry sky, and when he was not serious, he was cunning like a fox. Which one he likes more, I really can't say for a while.

After talking with Miss Xu for a while, Lin Wanrong was even more excited. Climbing up the stone statue of Maitreya Buddha, knocking constantly, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

Seeing him climb so high, Miss Xu was terrified, and said softly, "Lin San, come down quickly, don't get hurt."

Lin Wanrong got off the stone statue and said excitedly: "Miss Xu, this stone statue is hollow."

Xu Zhiqing was not surprised at all, she covered her small mouth and smiled softly: "You fool. I have known it for a long time. Hundreds of years ago when Dahua was founded, Emperor Taizu built this Maitreya Buddha statue, using thousands of workers to chisel from the inside. Empty. Forging Buddha statues."

Lin Wanrong's eyes widened: "Didn't you say it earlier? It made me climb up and down like a monkey."

Miss Xu blushed slightly, and whispered, "You were so anxious just now, I was fascinated by your story, and you went up before I could tell you. What should I do now? Even if the Buddha statue is empty, What can be explained?"

"I don't know either." Lin Wanrong brushed his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead, but a fragrant hand towel was handed to him, and he thanked him. Then he said: "But since the old man pointed out this place, there must be a secret in it. I'll go back to mobilize the foot camp, the horse camp, and the magic machine camp, and blast this stone statue away from me with a cannon."

Xu Zhiqing was startled, Lin San was really crazy. She hurriedly said: "No. This stone statue was built by Emperor Taizu and has a long history. No one can damage it without authorization. If someone comes to the emperor to report you, it will be a death penalty!"

"Any death or living crime is not as important as Qingxuan." Lin Wanrong smiled disdainfully, and hurried to the layman: "Miss Xu, lend you a carriage and a little maid."

Lin Wanrong hurried out, took out his own letter from his arms and handed it to Yuzhu: "Little sister, take this to the general Li Tai's camp outside the city to find a general named Du Xiuyuan, that is, Lin San asked him to mobilize the third battalion of soldiers. Horse, bring the magic cannon, and rush to the Reclining Buddha Temple within half an hour. If it is delayed for a moment, it will be dealt with by military law."

The little maid glanced at Xu Zhiqing, who came out panting in embarrassment. Seeing Lin San's resolute expression, Miss Xu only nodded to Yuzhu. After the carriage had gone far, he sighed softly: "You deploy troops without authorization, you do public good for your own interests, and you bombard the reclining Buddha, any of which is a capital offense. You do all these things for Miss Xiao. If I were her, I would have A husband like you will be content all your life."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "You can also ask me to be your husband, I will think about it."

"Don't think about it." Miss Xu was annoyed, and tears suddenly rolled down: "I remember clearly what you said outside the temple gate. Do you think I'm so deceitful?"

This girl still remembers this incident. Seeing Miss Xu's tears, Lin Wanrong didn't know how to persuade her. After waiting for a while, she heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. "The last general Du Xiuyuan has seen the general and Miss Xu."

Miss Xu hurriedly wiped away her tears and nodded slightly. Lin Wanrong was not polite, patted Du Xiuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Du, how many magic cannons did you bring?"

"General, I have your command. The last commander's magic cannons have all been transferred. There are a total of eight." Du Xiuyuan said sternly.

"Okay," Lin Wanrong yelled, pointing at the belly of the reclining Buddha, gritted his teeth and said, "Have you seen the Buddha statue? Now you gather all the cannons, face the stone statue, and blast him!"
