Chapter VII
Lan Zipeng had been suffering from incurable diseases since he was a child. His parents and family had no choice but to foster him in a temple for ten years before he recovered from his karma. It was this 'Faxing Temple' where Master Bao was fostered, so he later
I often come back to study the Dharma and gain enlightenment.
When Tianxing was a child, he followed his parents to stay in a temple for a few days every year to get in touch with some Buddhist culture. He was talented, intelligent, and understanding, but did not show it off.
Nonsense. Therefore, he has a high prestige in the eyes of the Lan family, and is the most outstanding patriarch of the Lan family in hundreds of years.
Over the past three hundred years, the temple was gradually renovated and expanded by descendants. In modern times, it has been run by the tribe into an industry and is open to welcome guests. The incense is quite strong every fasting day or every year and festival.
Ji Lang stopped the car about half a mile away from the temple. Seeing that Tian Xing had no intention of getting out of the car, he had to remind him, "Master, do you want me to accompany you in?".
"Oh? Oh... no need..." Tian Xing sat in the car and hesitated for a while, trying to adjust his low mood. At this time, he felt very sad. He didn't want to face Yu Wen who was seriously ill. He was afraid that he
Bad mood will make Uncle Wen stressed.
Tianxing looked at his face in the rearview mirror and made sure he looked normal before entering the temple gate alone. However, he did not go to the main hall to offer incense and worship Buddha. Instead, he followed the path among the flowers and walked around.
Walk towards a remote independent courtyard in the northwest corner of the main hall.
Perhaps due to the weather and season, there were very few pilgrims offering incense and praying in the temple. There were only a few young monks sweeping the courtyard, making the huge temple seem a bit deserted.
The sky was very gloomy, and the howling north wind blew the red dead leaves all over the stairs and scattered them in the air. They fell and fell in confusion, adding a bit of coldness to this century-old courtyard.
There was a thin young monk standing in the courtyard. The large monk's robes on his body made him look very haggard. Although he was holding a broom in his hand, he did not clean it as hard as he could. Instead, he looked up at the dark sky with low clouds in the distance. It was quiet.
The indifferent expression seemed to be meditating on something.
Tian Xing walked in and took the broom in his hand and started sweeping. The accumulated fallen leaves were blown away by the strong and cold north wind, and soon covered half of the courtyard. No wonder the monk who specialized in sweeping the floor was lazy.
The weather is really not suitable for cleaning.
The fallen leaves all over the yard were swept up and blown away. After being blown away, they were piled up and blown away again. It was such a boring and laborious task with no trace of work efficiency at all. If there were still people who kept doing it,
, that person is either a brainless fool or a wise man with a wise heart.
"Stop scanning..." Yu Wen finally turned around and went to the meditation room, and said lightly, "Come in and have a cup of hot tea...".
"Okay!" Tian Xing put down his broom and followed in. In this weather, he really deserves a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold.
Yu Wen has obviously changed a lot. The previously bright and dark 'Three Thousand Worries Silk' has long been shaved off, and his gloomy complexion has a somewhat sickly look. It is almost impossible to see the shadow of the cold and beautiful beauty back then.
Tian Xing took the teapot from Yu Wen's hand and filled the two empty cups on the table, and asked with great concern, "Uncle Wen, you don't look good. I've already said hello to Hua Dong. You'd better go to the hospital, at least.
In the hospital…".
"No! I have already decided on this matter. You know my temper and there is no need to persuade me..." Yu Wen refused without waiting for him to finish. "I have been delayed for fifteen years. If it weren't for you
Mom asked me to stay and take care of you...I should have left with her fifteen years ago...".
"But Uncle Wen..." Tian Xing wanted to persuade him again, but Yu Wen looked at him with a cup in his hand and asked, "Tian Xing, do you want to see me if you have something to do?".
Tian Xing paused for a moment and hesitated. He wasn't sure if he could get the answer he wanted, so he didn't want to waste any more words.
"Fifteen years ago... Master Bao Lan Zipeng died of illness, and your mother went with him that night..." Yu Wen sighed, "I am your mother's dowry girl, no matter where she is, I should be by her side to protect her.
So according to the rules, I should have followed him fifteen years ago..."
"Those rules... are a bit outdated after all, so why do you have to force yourself to abide by them?" Tian Xing advised, "Didn't you say before that you would help me take care of my children after I get married and have children? But Uncle Wen, I haven't done that yet.
When you get a wife, you won’t be trying to fool me with casual talk and want to be irresponsible, right?”
"So what? Tell us...about you?" Yu Wen turned to look at Tian Xing, and there was indeed a lot of nostalgia in his soft eyes.
"Oh...Uncle Wen, what do you...want to say?" Tian Xing had no choice but to stop joking and sat down to drink tea in a polite manner. Because Yu Kai was in poor physical condition, Yu Wen was always there to take care of him when he was a child. The relationship between them
It also has the meaning of being like a teacher or a father.
Yu Wen kept looking at him, with a satisfied smile on his tired face, "You have really grown up! You are even more outstanding and perfect than your mother originally expected. It is true that she would rather give up herself to give birth to you."
Come down...".
"Oh..." Tian Xing was stunned for a moment, and Lan Ruo also said the same thing. It seemed that in order to give birth to his son, Yu Kai left everything she owned to him, but she left this world.
But his mother died on the same day as his father Lan Zipeng when he was fifteen years old. If the truth is what Lan Ruo and Yu Wen said, then who is that Yu Gu?
"Many of your talents were left to you by your mother. She gave all of her powers to you and your son... but she didn't reserve any of them for herself. That's why she... left in such a hurry that she didn't even see the sound.
My last meeting..." Yu Wen sighed sadly, "How much does she owe you, and she wants to repay it in this way?".
Tian Xing was very confused, so he asked, "Are you saying that the mother I met is not my real biological mother? And my biological father...is someone else? I...can't be the one who was killed by me?"
Was it an orphan picked up by my father, or an adopted orphan?"
"Well, why do you think so?" Yu Wen was a little stunned when he was asked. He was just lamenting the impermanence of the world and recalling the past. He did not want to shake his dominance as the eldest young master of the Lan family.
Tian Xing was also stunned, "Uncle Wen, what exactly do you want to say?".
"Oh...it's nothing...I just want to say that if your mother saw you today, she would be very happy!" Yu Wen also knew that he said too much, so he could only try to be more logical.
"People say good things when they are about to pass away." Maybe people who are dying will unconsciously express this kind of nostalgia when they see their relatives and loved ones, so Tian Xing smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
"Master Ji, you have come to see me..." Yu Wen turned to look out the window again. Outside, the north wind was still howling, carrying withered flowers and leaves flying all over the sky. It looked very messy and desolate.
Tian Xing smiled again but did not continue to ask, he also knew that asking would not lead to any results.
"If he thinks it's time to appear in front of you, he will come to you..." Yu Wen continued, "If he doesn't see you, he is definitely thinking about you, so don't disturb them!".
"Them?" Tian Xing was stunned again, "Why are they...two people?" When he chased after him that day, he did see another person in the off-road vehicle.
Yu Wen just coughed a few times and didn't answer. He had already said too much.
"Uncle Wen..." Tian Xing stood up and held his shoulders and asked, "Why don't you go to the hospital, at least your illness will be treated more effectively there...".
Yu Wen still shook his head and refused before he finished speaking, "I want to stay here, Tian Xing. If you want to fulfill your filial piety, just do as I want and don't say any more...".
"Uncle Wen, don't let me look at you..." Tian Xing wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Yu Wen's eyes fell back on his face with surprise, "The corners of your eyes and eyebrows are filled with joy, Tian Xing, you...
Has the 'Red Luan Star Moved'?".
"What?" Tian Xing was confused again. Uncle Wen's words today always shocked him, "Isn't Hong Luan the legendary marriage star? Oh...Uncle Wen, you mean...you can't say more.
Easier?".
Yuwen seemed to have some unexpected surprises, and smiled and replied, "Mr. Gu happens to be in the temple. Go and ask him. He knows best in these aspects and will give you an answer that satisfies you...".
"Oh? Are you talking about...really? My marriage?" Tian Xing could tell from Yu Wen's expression that he was pleasantly surprised. He was really happy for himself. He was seriously ill and had taken life, death and wealth very seriously.
The indifferent Uncle Wen has always loved and cared for him as his own son for so many years.
