Brocade tears

Meng Kuang and his party lived in Linggu Temple for a long time, and this stay lasted for a month.During this period of time, Qiu Bai, Gu Zhongwen and others under the princess will also go down the mountain to inquire about the situation in Nanjing, bringing new news from time to time.The search near Nanjing City has been gradually relaxed and transferred due to many days of fruitlessness. There are also search officers and soldiers near Linggu Temple, but they dare not act wildly in the temple. After a long time, they still went down the mountain.

In fact, they could leave Linggu Temple safely after hiding for three to five days. The reason why they stayed in the temple for such a long time was entirely because the injuries of the wounded needed time to heal.Although Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang's wounds were not serious, they were very numerous. In this hot summer, a wound could become infected if one is not careful, so they needed to be taken care of very carefully, and they should be cleaned and changed every day.

It is very inconvenient that Meng Kuang's injuries cannot be treated by herself, so she has to rely on other people's hands.And she was isolated from the women's guest house, and she couldn't find her younger sister or Sui'er to help her.In this way, it was natural for Guo Dayou to help her.Meng Kuang thought of this problem the day he entered the temple. After discussing with the princess, the princess meant that if she wanted to change her medicine, she would go to the female guest courtyard when the day passage was open, and only go to the house of her own sister Meng Yan. , Dealing with wounds on the private parts, so as to avoid suspicion.At night, if she still needed to change her dressing, she would ask Lu Jingshi to help treat the wounds on non-private parts. After all, Lu Jingshi was a servant and knew Meng Kuang's identity, so there was no need to be so taboo.As for Guo Dayou, if he wanted to help, he would refuse on the grounds that Guo Dayou was also injured.

Meng Kuang did solve the problem in this way, but to her surprise, Guo Dayou didn't take the initiative to change her medicine.Xu Miao'an, the head monk who provided them with herbs, has excellent medical skills and treats Guo Dayou's wounds every day very appropriately. Guo Dayou is not worried that Meng Kuang has no help.But in fact, Meng Kuang rejected Miao An's treatment from the very beginning, only thanking him for providing herbal medicine.Although Miao'an didn't know the reason, this simple and honest monk knew that every donor had privacy, and as a monk, he would never cross the line to violate the privacy of the donor.

Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang are both martial arts practitioners. They have exercised their muscles and bones all the year round and have a very good foundation.Although the injury was not serious this time, it healed very quickly.After resting in the temple for more than half a month, the relatively light wounds have all healed.Guo Dayou's right shoulder was cut open by Qin Xiaofeng's horse, which has not yet fully healed. His right arm is still weak, and he hangs in front of him every day.Meng Kuang's injured left knee was almost healed, but he still felt a slight tingling when he walked.Her strained right arm has also improved a lot now, recovering from daily massage and stretching.The large and small wounds on the body are basically healed.

With their current state, it is not a problem to start again, but the problem now is that they have to wait for one person to recuperate, and that is Ban Ruhua.Ban Ruhua suffered an arrow wound, which is extremely difficult to heal. In addition, Ban Ruhua himself is not very strong. Since he was shot by the arrow, he has been bedridden for more than 20 days, with constant ups and downs and fever.Meng Yan, Zhu Qingpei, Princess of Xinyang, and others have been taking good care of her. Her wound has finally healed and the inflammation has been eliminated, and her fever has subsided, but she is still very weak, and she is still not suitable for long-distance travel, and it will take time to recover.Generally speaking, if the arrow wound wants to heal, it is really difficult to say that there is no three months, but how can they wait for three months now?

Going and staying has become the most difficult problem facing everyone at the moment. Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang have to rely on Princess Xinyang for what they are going to do next, but Princess Xinyang is reluctant to leave the temple because she loves Ban Ruhua. If the restriction is dragged on, I'm afraid it will delay the big event.

Meng Kuang also went to the women's guest house every day these days. After changing the medicine in his sister's room, he followed his sister to see how Ban Ruhua was doing.She looked tired and frail, and most of all she had been mentally ill, as if she had been hurt not physically but spiritually.Meng Kuang didn't know if it was because of her, and she didn't dare to ask. Every time she went to see Ban Ruhua, she stayed far away and didn't dare to get close. She was afraid that her appearance would stimulate Ban Ruhua.

Sister Meng Ai said that Ban Ruhua's heart disease was more serious than his physical injury, which also affected the healing of the wound.She should really have a hard time for Meng Kuangyu, and she should be broken. In addition, Meng Kuang is always near her. In the past, she was able to persevere when Meng Kuang was separated from her by thousands of rivers and mountains. Now that she is so close, she can't help thinking about it.Hearing what his sister said, Meng Kuang was so frightened that he dared not enter Ban Ruhua's room.

These days, Meng Kuang inexplicably felt that Sui Er's attitude towards her was a bit subtle.Although we meet each other every day, she also helps her younger sister to deal with her injuries, and eats lunch together in the dining hall, but she seems to be preoccupied and doesn't talk much.Because this is a temple, it is not easy for Meng Kuang to be too intimate with her during his travels, and he can never find a good opportunity to have a good talk with her, so that she scratches her ears and irritates, and she can't always feel at ease, hating herself for not being able to live in the temple. In the women's guest house, it is good to know what happened in the women's guest house from time to time.

Because I heard that during the time when Ban Ruhua was most seriously ill, the princess had been taking care of her in a daze. Meng Kuang thought that in Ban Ruhua's mind, his illusory love object should have faded away. It's time to pay attention to the Princess, the person who cares about her the most around her now.After only a day or two of acquaintance, the princess can do this for her, and Meng Kuang feels very touched by his heart-to-heart comparison.But...why are these women so stubborn, refusing to let go of this unreasonable love?

Until the night before the fourth day of June, Lu Jingshi came to help Meng Kuang with his wounds out of habit. During the chat, he revealed that he had received information from Han Jiaer that the three women, Meng Ai, Suier, and Han Jiaer planned to accompany the round-headed monk on the fourth day of the lunar new year. Miao'an went to Houshan Medicine Garden to help Master Miao'an pick and dry herbs.When Meng Kuang got the news, he immediately decided that he would go with him tomorrow. She had to find a chance to have a good talk with Sui Er, otherwise she would go crazy.

Meng Kuang barely slept that night. Distraught, she finally found a copy of "The Sutra of Infinite Life", and watched it until dawn with the faint light.The pages of this Buddhist scripture are a little yellowed, and the margins are a little curled, and it has been used for some years.The main text of the scriptures is not very long, but there are more handwritten scripture annotations sandwiched in it. The dense small letters show the deep thinking of the scripture owner on this scripture.The former owner of the scriptures was Master Jingfa. Meng Kuang met Master Jingfa on the first day when he came to Linggu Temple, which made her have some kind of epiphany that cannot be fully explained since then.Later, she asked the princess for some explanations of some Buddhist sayings in Master Jingfa’s words. Although the princess practiced Buddhism, her practice was still shallow, and she didn’t dare to give answers indiscriminately. Meng Kuang finally visited Master Jingfa for an explanation the next day. He made some simple explanations and gave Meng Kuang such a scripture.He said that this scripture was re-annotated and transcribed after he gained new insights every once in a while. This is the latest edition. It was written two years ago and was given to Meng Kuang. It is helpful to read it from time to time. She is pure and focused, exorcising evil spirits with righteous thoughts.

For the past month, Meng Kuang has read this scripture almost every night before going to bed, and after reading it through, he has already realized something.And the more you read it repeatedly, you can really feel that your restless mood gradually calms down, as if you feel some kind of solemn world, grand and bright.

There is a scripture that Meng Kuang pondered over and over again, especially tonight, when he read this scripture, he was fascinated: people in the world can't see good and evil, good and bad, and good and bad, each of them competes for it.The body is stupid and the spirit is dark, and he is transferred to Yujiao.Upside down and continuous, impermanence is fundamental.Obsessed with darkness, do not believe in scriptures.There is no long-term concern in the heart, and everyone wants to be happy.Obsessed with anger, greedy for money and sex.It will never stop, what a pity!It is no wonder that the ancestors were not kind, did not know morality, and had no one to speak.The destinies of life and death, the way of good and evil, if you don't believe in it, it is said that there is nothing.Looking forward.And see for yourself.Either the father cries for the son, or the son cries for the father.Brothers and couples cry even more.Life after death, love each other.Worry and love are bound together, and there is no time to untie them.Good thinking, not divorced from love/desire, can't think deeply, specialize in practice.Years are running out, there is nothing to do!

She thought of Ban Ruhua, and couldn't help lamenting that love and sorrow were bound together, and there was no way out.If you are so obsessed with obsession, wouldn't your limited years be let down in vain?But she thought of herself and Sui Er again, how are they better than Ban Ruhua?Before the reunion, he was in the state of Ban Ruhua now, and only after the reunion did he fall in love and get rid of the pain of lovesickness.But she herself is still deeply trapped in hatred and cannot extricate herself. If she does not take revenge, she will not be able to escape. This is also a kind of "obsessed with anger".It's just that she is a layman, she can't explain herself.On the road of revenge, she had already beheaded and killed too many innocent people, and created a terrible Shura killing karma, and she had always been afraid of it for a long time.How to get it, the abbot's theory of killing for whom gave her the direction of liberation.

Not only that, the princess, the younger sister Meng Yan, and even Guo Dayou, each has a love network that binds him, thinks kindly, and is inseparable from love/desire.The Buddha said that all love and desire should be pulled out, and all evil sources should be eradicated.Walk in the Three Realms without any hindrance.This is easier said than done, a monk may not be able to reach such a state even if he practices Buddhism all his life, let alone these secular people.

It is a great merit to be able to give up and abandon the things you can't ask for.

Before dawn, she got up and dressed, finished washing and tidying up, ate two pieces of pastry with vegetarian stuffing prepared last night to satisfy her hunger, drank a bowl of green tea, and left the guest courtyard, heading for the back mountain.She planned to go directly to the medicine garden first, and wait for Sui'er and others at the gate of the medicine garden.Today she is wearing a blue cross-neck linen robe with a cloth belt around her waist, her legs are bound and she is wearing cloth shoes, her sleeves are rolled up, her hair is tied up with a net scarf, her face is still covered with a white cloth, she looks like a farmer.Walking in the mountain temple in the summer morning, the temple is full of shade, birds are chirping, and the air is cool and moist, which is refreshing.This place is indeed as the princess said, it is an excellent place to escape the summer and recuperate.Meng Kuang's steps gradually became brisk, taking deep breaths all the way, and finally trotted for a while, like a deer running happily in the forest, and soon came to the outside of the fence of the medicine garden.

Standing outside the medicine garden, she looked inside for a while, but there was no one in the garden. Meng Kuang knew that Miao An hadn't brought Sui'er to wait for anyone, so she waited at ease under a tall and ancient ginkgo tree outside the fence gate. .Breathing the fresh mountain air, she felt a sense of joy all over her body, and she especially wanted to exercise.It had been a long time since she had practiced boxing and knives, and she didn't bring a knife when she came out today, so she thought about doing a set of punches.

She first punched the Fung Fist that she had practiced in conjunction with the Teng Dao Dao technique passed down by her family, but her body was not used to it because of the force of the punching method.Moreover, she always felt that she was not in the right mood right now, and it seemed that she was not suitable for this set of fierce and vicious punches.

After thinking about it, she stopped her movements, calmed her breath, and adjusted her figure. She raised her hands and began to hit the Taoist boxing method taught to her by Daoist Luo.It is not so much a boxing method as a palm method. Luo Daochang went to Wudang Mountain in the early years and practiced Wudang Taiyi Xiaoyao Palm. This palm method is the incomplete version of Taiyi Xiaoyao Palm. Later, Daoist Luo made up the incomplete part. Its roundness is definitely not as good as the original version, but it can also play a role in strengthening the body and nourishing energy.

Meng Kuang is now playing this internal boxing method for nourishing qi under the ginkgo tree, but he feels that the real boxing is in harmony with the mind, and the mind is in harmony with the spirit. The whole body is harmonious and refined, and the spirit is more condensed. In a wonderful state, completely forgetting myself, repeating this set of boxing over and over again, I just feel that the whole person is floating, as if entering some kind of wonderful realm.

With keen six senses, she didn't even notice that Master Miao'an had led Meng Ai, Sui Er and Han Jiaer to the gate of the medicine garden.Meng Yan saw her sister at a glance, and was about to open her mouth to call, but was stopped by the honest and steady master Miao An:

"This benefactor has entered the country, please don't disturb him, and cut off the opportunity."

Sui'er in the back stared at Meng Kuang's closed eyes and boxing, and suddenly realized that he hadn't looked at Meng Kuang for a long time.She seemed to have changed during this time. The evil spirit and anger that could not go away all year round seemed to have weakened a lot. Now she seemed to be much more relaxed, so that her eyebrows and posture showed an indescribable Different kind of charm.

Sui'er couldn't help but stop at the same spot, staring at Meng Kuang dumbfoundedly, forgetting her troubles for a while.Seeing her in a daze, Meng Yan and Han Jiaer beside her didn't bother her, they stopped with her and watched Meng Kuang punching.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Kuang finally withdrew his fist. She seemed to sense something in her heart, and then she fell out of the strange state just now.And Sui'er suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help showing a smile.

She wondered to herself what was she struggling with, as long as she had herself in her heart and her in her heart, they would be happy with each other and everything would be fine, then she would be content.Thinking of this, she walked towards Meng Kuang, and saw the smile on Meng Kuang's brows when he saw her with his eyes open. She was so emotional that she didn't care about the other people around her, so she rushed into Meng Kuang's arms.
