Is Master happy?

Squatting by the bottom of the wall was a man dressed in coarse linen, his hair was messily tied up in a ball on the top, tied with a cloth rope, he had a shaggy beard, looked rather sloppy, and a pair of glowing peach blossom eyes Quite a mismatch.

Xi Ya looked at him several times, stepped forward to hold Yao Zhou, and whispered in her ear vigilantly, "Master, is this person?"

"Should have come here to wander around casually." Yaozhou didn't care much, pulled her, turned around and was about to leave, "Let's go quickly, otherwise I'm afraid that Duan Chengyu will wake up and lose his breath seeing you I'm afraid I'm going to be severely frightened."

"Master, keep your voice down." Xi Ya panicked and wanted to cover her mouth, "Be careful if he overhears you, maybe you will feel that this place is haunted."

"It's okay, master, I'm quite good at concealment." Yaozhou pulled her hand down, blinked at her twice, and led her to the forest, "I've made inquiries, there is a A temple enshrines Maitreya Buddha from the western heavens. I met a few times when I went to give lectures with your master a few years ago. He is a very well-mannered person. Let's go to have a look and offer some incense for him. "

"Master, you have seen Maitreya Buddha!" ​​Xi Ya clicked his tongue in surprise, becoming more and more curious, "Master is... Master's master?"

"That's right." Yaozhou nodded and smiled, "My master is your master." After saying that, she turned her head and just walked, as if she didn't want to say anything more.

Xiya was still surprised, there were no temples in Kongzhou City, most of them were Taoist temples, but when she was young, she heard some traveling merchants in the city say that in the capital city to the east, some bald monks came from afar to visit the emperor. , the emperor specially approved a piece of land for them to build a temple, and the one enshrined was also a Buddha.

This was the first time she saw a bald monk and a so-called temple, and she felt extremely strange in her heart.

After leaving the woods, I didn’t see any temples yet, but a white sandy beach made Xiya gasp again. In the distance, there was a big blue lake, which was called the sea by boats. This lake was more beautiful than anything Xiya had ever seen in his life. To be big, as if there is no limit, Xiya took off his shoes and socks, flattened his trousers and played after the waves for a few times, then he was pulled away by Yaozhou, otherwise the people in Duanfu would be in chaos up.

The temple was built on the top of the cliff by the sea, and Yao Zhou thought it was troublesome, so he took her straight to the top. There were not many people visiting today, but Xi Ya saw acquaintances in it, the master of the Duan family and the housekeeper, carrying a large cart The tribute is waiting outside the temple.

The two of them went straight to the temple, only then did Xiya see what the monk looked like, but he had shaved his hair and wore all gray cloth clothes, there was no big difference.

At the moment, most of the monks, big and small, are receiving people from Duan's mansion outside the mountain gate. There is no one guarding the Buddhist hall, only an old monk plastered, who is earnestly sitting in meditation with a cloth. In front of him was a golden and big-bellied Maitreya, with a benevolent smile on his face, as if squinting at the two of them.

Yao Zhou also raised his face and smiled, bent slightly, and said: "Your Honor, you are safe here." His words seemed to be addressed to an old friend who had been separated for a long time.

She patted Xi Ya lightly, and Xi Ya knew in her ignorance that she was asking her to salute, so she bowed and bowed straight down, and heard Yao Zhou say in her ear: "Bring my apprentice to show the venerable, The Venerable and my family teacher are close friends, and they are kind to me, and they can be regarded as half of Yaozhou's master, although you can't visit him in person, but as the saying goes, the Buddha's heart comes from the Buddha, and you must know Yaozhou's mind at this moment."

After saying that, she gave Xi Ya a hand, and Xi Ya raised his head, looked at the golden Buddha, and felt a flash of light for a moment, as if the corners of Maitreya's mouth became more and more curved.

She opened her eyes wide in shock, turned around to pull Yaozhou to look, but when she turned around, she saw the gray old monk standing under the mahogany pillars of the Buddhist hall, staring blankly at the two of them, blinking twice , his complexion calmed down, he folded his hands and bowed to the two, his voice was calm and respectful, "Do you want the monk to prepare incense for the two real people?"

"No." Yaozhou shook his head at him, waved his sleeves and brought up a gust of wind, wrapping the two of them away, and then opened his eyes, he was in the forest outside Duan's mansion.

"Master, that monk!" Seeing their real bodies, he is really a kind monk.

"Opening the eyes of the sky, it can be regarded as the great way." Yaozhou smiled faintly, and led her and said: "Let's go, go back."

Xi Ya didn't know why she suddenly became sullen, so he quietly followed her, secretly looking at her, finally felt helpless looking at her, stretched out his hand and nodded Xi Ya's head, "Don't think too much, master is good!" It's on."

After leaving the woods, I saw a lot of commotion. Several heavy armored guards from the Duan mansion held a stick and pressed a man in linen clothes to the ground with a stick. The servants of the mansion didn't care about anything else, they just got him up and went to the side door, and a group of people entered the mansion.

"It's that man!" Seeing his face, Xi Ya recognized him as the scruffy man squatting at the base of the wall and moaning, and tugged at Yao Zhou's sleeves, "I heard what Sister Duan said about a thief, that man must be a thief, right? ?”

"How do you know that?" Yaozhou patted her on the head, sternly said, "Don't talk nonsense, Xu family is an innocent person, so you wronged her for nothing."

Xi Ya just said it casually, but she didn't want her to sternly face, nodded hurriedly, and admitted her mistake in a panic: "Yeah, Xi Ya knows, from now on, if you don't know the inside story, don't talk nonsense."

"That's good." Yaozhou pinched her face and smiled, "Sometimes the world is not as it seems to you, there are many hidden feelings, Xi Ya, whenever you encounter anything in the future, remember to think twice before acting , Master can’t always be by your side.”

"Then where is Master going from now on?" Xi Ya raised her head and asked her, but she was suddenly picked up by her, and flew towards the courtyard of Duan's mansion. With the breeze fluttering, she occasionally lowered her head and said to her, "If I don't go anywhere else, I will stay with you .”

Then why do you still say you can't stay by my side all the time?Xi Ya lowered his head and hugged her tightly, feeling bored for some reason.

Yao Zhou pushed her soul into the body, and went back to the house quietly by herself. Duan Chengyu was still awake, Xi Ya lay on the bed with wide eyes, unable to fall asleep, and had no intention of falling asleep, just quietly waiting for Duan Chengyu to wake up Come, wash up a bit, and the two of them will go to greet Master Duan together.

Master Duan hadn't returned yet, so Yao Zhou was sitting alone in the hall, holding a cup of hot tea and blowing his breath. Seeing the two of them, he smiled and said, "Master Duan is not here, I'm bored by myself, just so you guys come gone."

"I didn't sleep well at night, and I'm quite tired at noon today, so I got up late." Duan Chengyu smiled embarrassedly, and said seriously: "My father... I don't know if my sister knows where my father has gone?"

"I don't know..." Yao Zhou shook his head, before he could finish his sentence, he saw a man in a black robe with a square brow striding in. When he saw the three of them, he was taken aback. He glanced over and stepped forward a few times He just clasped his fists at Duan Chengyu and said in his mouth, "Zhou Yu has met Miss."

Duan Chengyu nodded for him to get up, and asked, "Commander Zhou, do you know where my father has gone?"

"My lord should have gone to the temple to fulfill his wish." Zhou Yu raised his head dully, without any expression on his face, and said, "Could it be that you haven't returned yet?"

"That's right, I haven't come back yet." Duan Chengyu smiled at him, "You came to see your father today, what's the matter?"

"I..." Zhou Yu stammered, and looked away, "It's nothing serious, young lady, if there's nothing wrong, I'll take my leave first." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave. His steps were messy, as if Some flustered.

"Stop!" Duan Chengyu frowned instantly, stomped his feet and said, "You arrested that man again, didn't you? Didn't Dad tell you to leave him alone?"

"I, I have nothing..." Zhou Yu didn't dare to turn his head, his body froze, and a straight man broke out in cold sweat.

Xiya sneaked into Yaozhou's arms and was hugged by Yaozhou. The master and apprentice looked at each other, and it was not easy to persuade them to fight, they just watched blankly.

Duan Chengyu was very angry, strode forward and punched him on the shoulder, gritted his teeth and said: "My father is not here, I am the master of the house, go, let that man go!"

"No!" Zhou Yu stiffened at this moment, shaking his head desperately, "My lord... If my lord is not here...you can't make the decision, Miss!"

"Zhou Yu!" Duan Chengyu clenched his fists, looked at him coldly, and said, "Are you going or not?"

"Don't go..."

"Okay, okay, if you don't go...then I'll go!" Duan Chengyu turned around abruptly and left, so determined that Zhou Yu was stunned. Seeing her walking away, he hurriedly followed her, but took two steps back. When he came back, he bowed to Yao Zhou and the two in a panic, and said, "Two, two, can you help to persuade Miss? I, I, I can't persuade her."

"Okay." Yao Zhou nodded with a smile, put down Xi Ya, led her and chased Duan Chengyu away, Zhou Yu followed behind her, with a sky-falling expression, Xi Ya looked funny.

They walked to a school yard, and Duan Chengyu was outside dealing with several guards. The guards did not dare to be rude to her, but tried to persuade her, but she also had a helpless face, and said in her mouth: "I am not embarrassing you, but I just let you take people away." Let it go, it will save me from being upset."

The two guards looked bitter, and when they saw Yaozhou and others coming, they hurriedly shouted: "Commander Zhou!"

Duan Chengyu looked back at Zhou Yu, sighed, and spoke a little more heavily, "Zhou Yu, don't embarrass me, I don't have much thought for that person, but you are so fussy, let me I have to think about him every day."

"You can release him only after your lord returns." Zhou Yu refused to give in, stubbornly said.

"Okay, okay," Duan Chengyu smiled bitterly, "You know that father will not let people go casually... I don't want to remember anything, just let it go, but you, father, want me to remember everything ..." She looked up at Zhou Yu, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if you don't let him go..." Then she left angrily.

Zhou Yu looked at her for a long while, opened his mouth to explain but couldn't say anything, he just turned around and told the two guards, "No one is allowed to tell about Miss's visit to the school grounds!"

Yaozhou and Xiya went back with Duan Chengyu, she was not in a good mood, so they stopped talking to her, quietly followed her back to the yard, seeing that she was surrounded by a group of servant girls, her head was drooping and she had nothing to say, It looked quite lonely.

"Master..." Xi Ya looked up at Yao Zhou and stroked her hand.

"It's nothing." Yaozhou nodded his lips with his index finger, and said softly with a gentle smile, "If you want to say something, you will speak up sooner or later. There is no knot in the world that cannot be solved."

Xu Shizhen was just as she said, at night, several of them had dinner in their own rooms, but when it was about to rest, Duan Chengyu put on a white cloak, let Xiya rest first, and went out with a small lamp .
