The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Ji Wanran looked at Yu Shen kneeling in front of Sister Zhen's coffin and crying secretly. Shisan threw herself into Ji Wanran's arms and wiped the tears from her face intimately: "Mom, don't be sad. Shisan heard that you and Aunt Zhen are very good friends. Aunt Zhen met you and Shisan, as well as Brother Shen today. She must be very happy. Although Uncle Yu is not at home, we will come to visit Aunt Zhen often in the future, and Aunt Zhen will definitely be happy to see such a cute little fairy like me."

Thirteen nodded heavily as he spoke. That was it. Although he had never met Aunt Zhen, she was mother's good friend. She must be as gentle and beautiful as mother, and would definitely like him. He was so cute, Aunt Zhen would definitely like him.

Ji Wanran looked at her sensible and well-behaved chubby daughter and tapped her little nose: "Yes, yes, your Aunt Zhen would be very happy if she could see you."

Yu Shen offered incense for his mother and when he stood up he saw this hateful fat girl leaning on her master's wife's arms and acting coquettishly. He curled his lips secretly and rolled his eyes at Thirteen.

Ji Wanran was only concerned with talking to her daughter and did not notice Yu Shen's little move. Thirteen, who was leaning on his mother's arms, saw it. In his previous life, Prime Minister Yu was upright and dignified. When could he have such an interesting little move? Thirteen could not help but chuckle at Yu Shen who rolled his eyes.

Yu Shen looked at this hateful fat girl covering her mouth and laughing at him, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. He turned away and stopped looking at her, feeling secretly angry.

At this time, the little monk who had just gone to greet Ji Wanran came over again and saluted Ji Wanran: "Madam Qin, Master Guangji has finished worshipping Buddha. Please go to the Zen hall."

Ji Wanran smiled and asked the little monk: "Can I bring these two children to see Master Guangji?" The little monk looked at the two children and said: "The master has said that if you bring your children with you, you can go with him to chant sutras and pray for blessings."

Thirteen thought to himself, this Master Guangji was so grand that his mother, such a high-ranking official's wife, had to wait for permission to come and chant sutras and pray for blessings. Even so, his mother had no complaints and treated the master with such respect, which showed that he was indeed a powerful figure.

Thirteen was carried in his mother's arms to Master Guangji's Zen Hall. Yu Shen followed behind Ji Wanran silently. Thirteen hugged his mother's neck curiously and asked, "Mom, is this Master Guangji very powerful? Why must mother see Master Guangji?"

Ji Wanran smiled: "Master Guangji is a famous monk in the Dayin Dynasty. He is proficient in Buddhism, especially in chanting sutras and praying for people. It is very effective. Master Guangji lives in seclusion and studies Buddhism. He rarely sees pilgrims."

She stroked her daughter's little face and said, "Last time Xin'er was unconscious, I asked Master Guangji to chant sutras and pray for you. I remember Master Guangji said that Xin'er was a person with a miraculous encounter and would definitely turn danger into safety and wake up safely. Sure enough, Xin'er woke up safely. So this time, I came here to thank Master Guangji!"

Thirteen listened to his mother's words, and his heart skipped a beat: "Why does it sound more and more like the Master Guangji I met!" As he was talking, he had already walked to the meditation hall. After the little monk passed the message, he heard the door of the meditation hall creak open, and a kind-looking old monk came out with a smile, clasped his hands together and saluted Ji Wanran: "Madam Lao, you have come and waited for a long time. I am sorry for the impoliteness."

Ji Wanran quickly put Thirteen down and returned a salute to Master Guangji: "Master, you are very busy. I am sorry for disturbing you."

Thirteen stood beside his mother, nervously grasping the hem of her skirt, staring at the old monk with a pair of nervous eyes, secretly afraid in his heart. This old monk was exactly the same as the Master Guangji he had seen in the mansion. At that time, Master Guangji's hair and beard were all white, but the Master Guangji he saw now had not yet turned white, and looked a little younger, but his features were the same.

It turned out that Master Guangji was already very famous at this time, so could he recognize that he was not the real Xinhe? Thinking of this, Thirteen could not help but lower his head guiltily, not daring to look at Master Guangji again.

After Master Guangji greeted Ji Wanran, he smiled at Thirteen who lowered his head and said nothing: "It seems that Madam's beloved daughter has recovered? Is everything okay, my friend?"

Thirteen suddenly raised his head. Master Guangji called him "little friend"! He must have recognized him! Thirteen hurriedly looked at his mother and Yu Shen, fearing that they had heard something.

Ji Wanran looked at her chubby daughter's nervous look and couldn't help but touch her head in a comforting way: "Xin'er, thanks to the master's chanting and blessing for her, this child is safe and sound. Today I specially brought Xin'er to thank the master and ask the master to chant and pray for Shen'er as well."

Ji Wanran pointed at Yu Shen, who also bowed to the master: "Greetings, Master Guangji." Ji Wanran looked at Yu Shen with pity, "This child is the son of the Censor Yu. Shen'er lost his mother when he was young, and Yu was busy with official duties, so he entrusted us two to take care of him. This time, I specially asked for a peace amulet for Shen'er and his father, and pray for the safety of both of them."

Master Guangji turned his gaze from Thirteen to Yu Shen, and looked at him for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. Yu Shen was inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed by Master Guangji's gaze, and thought to himself, why does this old monk look at people like this? Can he calculate that I am a disaster star? While Ji Wanran was not paying attention, Yu Shen quietly glared at Master Guangji.

Thirteen saw it and thought, "This is a great monk. Brother Shen dared to glare at the master. It would be terrible if he was blamed by the master." She didn't care about the master pointing out her true identity. She quietly stood in front of Yu Shen, gave the master a begging look, and said timidly, "Master, please be merciful and pray for Brother Shen. Brother Shen is very good."

Master Guangji looked at Thirteen, then at Yu Shen, and smiled with his eyebrows trembling: "Well, well, well, you two young friends are really destined to be with me, Buddha. Then I will chant sutras and pray for you two young friends."

The master looked at Ji Wanran and said, "Madam, please go to the side room and rest for a while. I will personally chant sutras and pray for them both. After the prayers are finished, I will have someone send the young master and young lady back to the side room."

Ji Wanran was delighted to have Master Guangji personally chanting sutras and praying for blessings. "Xin'er, Shen'er, it is a great fortune for you two to have Master Guangji personally chanting sutras and praying for blessings. You must follow the master and chant sutras devoutly. May the two of you be blessed with peace and happiness in your life."

After Ji Wanran left, Master Guangji ordered the young monk to light the sandalwood and then leave. The master clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and began to recite Buddhist scriptures. In the smoke, Thirteen remembered that the last time he floated back to the mourning hall of his previous life, he almost lost his soul in the Buddhist scriptures. When he heard Master Guangji start to recite the scriptures again, his face changed drastically: "Master, will you not let me go this time? Are you going to save my soul?"

Thirteen was feeling anxious when she suddenly saw Yu Shen beside her fall limply on the mat with his eyes closed. She rushed over and shook Yu Shen repeatedly: "Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?" She looked at Master Guangji: "Master, Brother Shen... "

Master Guangji smiled and comforted her: "Don't panic, don't panic, let him sleep for a while. Do you want him to know where you came from?"

Thirteen's anxious voice suddenly stopped: "Master, you...you recognized me"

Master Guangji nodded, twirling his beard like he did when he saw Thirteen last time, and said with a smile: "Little devil, have you come to the place you wanted to go? This little kid is really cute!"

Thirteen looked at Master Guangji smiling at her, and finally realized that the master would not accept her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly knelt down in front of the master and said, "Master, Thirteen's identity is unknown, and I have doubts in my heart, but I don't know where to find out, and I can't get rid of it. Please give me some advice!"

Master Guangji said sternly, "Little girl, I once said that your ability to travel between two lives was a miracle given to you by God out of pity. At that time, I couldn't say much in front of the Prime Minister. But today I want to tell you that traveling between two lives also has risks." Thirteen was startled and looked up at Master Guangji. The master continued, "You have been reincarnated now. You can avoid the disaster of being kidnapped in your previous life. As a lady of a noble family, you can enjoy the love of your parents, be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, or you can successfully marry the person you like."

Master Guangji looked at Yu Shen who had fainted on the cushion. Although Shisan was just a little kid at the moment, he felt embarrassed and his cheeks turned red when someone brought up his past life secrets in front of him.

She didn't dare to look at Master Guangji again, and lowered her head and said, "I always feel like Thirteen has taken over someone else's home. I don't know what's going on between me and Madam Xinhe. And if Thirteen can find out my identity, I want to use the time travel adventure to protect Thirteen's family from harm. I hope Master will pity me for being alone and miserable in my previous life and give me some pointers."

Master Guangji looked at Thirteen and said, "Little girl, the fact that you were reborn in the Qin Mansion proves that you are destined to be with the Qin Mansion. Perhaps God took pity on your loneliness and gave you a chance. You don't have to worry about the saying of the dove and the magpie. Just live your life in peace and enjoy a life of glory like Madam Xinhe. Isn't that wonderful?"

Thirteen was puzzled: "In my previous life, I was trapped in the Dark Guard Camp. I knew nothing about what happened between Madam Xinhe and me, and about the affairs of the court. If I did nothing, maybe I could have relied on the opportunity of rebirth to avoid being kidnapped. Then could my mother and father have avoided the disaster?" Master Guangji shook his head gently: "Everything is the same as before!"

Thirteen murmured, "Everything remains the same." That is to say, if he gave up traveling through two lives to find out everything, he could only keep himself safe, but the fate of others, his mother, father, and Lord Yu would still die, and Brother Shen would still suffer the pain of losing his loved ones again, and would still become more and more gloomy and lonely after years of forbearance and careful planning for revenge.

Master Guangji looked at her deeply and said, "Little girl, look up at me. If I tell you that you are traveling between two worlds, you may have nowhere to go if you encounter an unexpected event. Are you still willing to travel between two worlds to find out your origins and protect your family?"

Thirteen was shocked by the solemnity in Master Guangji's eyes: "Master, what you mean by nowhere to rely on is..."

Master Guangji clasped his hands together and said, "You will not be able to be reborn, and your soul will be scattered!" When Thirteen heard this, his body shook and he was speechless.

Master Guangji stopped talking, put his hands together and started chanting, giving Thirteen time to think and waiting for Thirteen's answer. Thirteen sat on the ground in a daze, lost in deep thought.

After a long time, she straightened her body and bowed deeply to Master Guangji: "Master, I don't want to ignore my relatives' difficulties for the sake of my own glory. I want to ensure that my relatives will live a peaceful and happy life. Please help me!"

Master Guangji opened his eyes and looked at the plump baby in front of him. He thought of the lonely soul in the mourning hall in his previous life and sighed: "Forget it, I will give you a helping hand, but everything depends on your luck."

Master Guangji took out three sticks of sandalwood from his sleeve and handed them to Thirteen: "When you light these sticks, you will fall into a deep sleep and travel back to a certain time in your previous life. You can use this to find out what you want to find out. But you must remember to grasp the time of traveling back. If the incense burns out and you cannot return to your soul and wake up in time, then you will..."

Thirteen was overjoyed, and respectfully took the sandalwood, carefully hiding it in her purse. With this, she would be much more convenient. She kowtowed to Master Guangji again to thank him.

Master Guangji clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, I have said too much today. I am afraid that I have revealed the secrets of heaven! From today on, I will be in seclusion and ask for forgiveness from the Buddha. You and this boy can leave now."

Thirteen looked at the master worriedly: "Master, then you..." Master Guangji smiled and said: "No problem, no problem, my friend, don't worry, go with peace of mind, remember what I said, be careful in everything."

Master Guangji swung his sleeves at Yu Shen. Yu Shen opened his eyes on the futon and saw that he had fallen asleep on it. He thought he had fallen asleep while listening to the sutras, and his face was filled with shame: "Master, please forgive me!"

Master Guangji smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay! I'll give you a message: the dead become more distant, while the living become closer. I hope you can tell this to your father and ask him to think carefully about it." He then called the little monk over, whispered a few words to him, closed his eyes, and said no more.

Yu Shen didn't understand what the master said, and he muttered to himself and walked out of the meditation room full of doubt. The little monk led Shisan and Yu Shen to the wing where Ji Wanran was, and told Ji Wanran: "The master has finished chanting and praying, and he said that he will be in seclusion from now on and will not receive pilgrims. Please do as you please, madam."

Ji Wanran thanked the little monk again and again, and looked at the two little kids with satisfaction: "With the great monk chanting sutras and praying for you, our Xin'er and Shen'er will definitely be safe and happy."

Thirteen immediately hugged her mother's legs and smiled sweetly: "Mom and Dad will also be safe and happy." She smiled and looked at Yu Shen; "Yes, and Uncle Yu and Brother Shen will also be safe and happy."

Yu Shen looked at the smiling Thirteen, and seemed to be ashamed of falling asleep in front of Thirteen just now, so he turned his head away from Thirteen. Thirteen was still smiling so hard that his teeth were showing. At this time, Master Yu was really an awkward kid!

Ji Wanran had achieved the purpose of coming to Xiangzhe Temple this time. She was satisfied and asked Liu Niang to pack up. She took Shisan and Yu Shen down the mountain and prepared to take a carriage home.

Thirteen pinched the three sandalwood sticks in his small purse, and felt that this trip to Xiangzhe Temple had solved a big problem that had been bothering him for a long time. In the future, he could travel between the two lives to find out all the causes and consequences of his previous life and protect himself and his parents.
