"Zhuo Daru, aren't you afraid that I will inform His Majesty of Xi Chu's ambition?"

Li Nuo smiled and looked at this old handsome guy who was no less handsome than him.

As a veteran, Zhuo Qilin said calmly: "You don't know how."

"Oh? Why are you so sure?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Li Nuo's starry eyes.

Only Du Yan, Zhang Qiushi and other veterans who could be counted on one hand knew that he wanted to depose Jingtai and establish a female emperor.

He didn't understand how Zhuo Qilin had the confidence to think that he was on Xi Chu's side.

"Before I came to Dayin, the Lord of the Kingdom specifically stated that no matter what the circumstances, even if Duke Wu An puts a knife to his neck, Duke Wu An is a trustworthy person."

Zhuo Qilin explained that he didn't trust Li Zian, but he trusted Jiang Jingcan very much.

Li Nuo looked a little confused.

This senior brother...

It's a pity that he is from Western Chu, and he is also the king of Western Chu!

"I don't care how fierce the fight between Xichu and Dayin is, but you can't even think of dragging me into the water."

Li Nuo regained consciousness and said with an indifferent expression.

Zhuo Qilin nodded and said: "As long as you can remain neutral, that will be the best help to my great Chu."

"It's getting late."

Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the increasingly dense clouds in the sky. It was obvious that he meant to see off the guests.

Zhuo Qilin took out a scroll from his sleeve and said, "I'll take my leave now. This scroll is my life's work, and I ask Mr. Wu An to correct it."

Li Nuo took it and did not open it for reading on the spot. He said: "Then I will accept it first, but I have been a little busy recently. I will definitely read Qilin's masterpiece when I have free time."

Li Nuo still showed great respect for the genuine literary scholars.

After all, he is not a producer of words, but a transporter of words. In fact, he is quite envious of this kind of talented person who speaks well and writes like a god.

After watching Zhuo Qilin leave, Li Nuo went to the Zen room in the back mountain.

Although Crouching Tiger Arhat did not go out, what happened outside could not be hidden from his discerning eyes and ears.

The golden body of Arhat is ready.

Li Nuo looked at the dull and dilapidated golden body of Arhat on the table, and wondered: "Old monk, your golden body is also in tatters, isn't it? Are you cheating with defective products?"

Me?"

"If Donor Li doesn't want it, I will take it back."

The old Arhat said and stretched out his hand to grab the golden body.

"Hey, hey, forget it, let's make do with it."

Li Nuo quickly grabbed the [Arhat's Golden Body] first.

Although he was scornful and scolding on the surface, secretly, he was secretly delighted.

With this item, the young monk with the weapon spirit of [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] can be drawn out, and the possibility of refining it can be increased by at least 30%.

"By the way, little friend, I wonder if my senior disciple has contacted you?"

The old Arhat still couldn't hold back and asked about Hui Jue. And the title of Li Nuo changed from donor to little friend.

Hui Jue, a barefoot monk, made a big fuss at the Qin family's ninetieth birthday party, and even eloped with Qin Yishuang, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, on the spot. This incident was a big deal at first.

But by that time, the old Arhat was no longer in Xiangguo Temple.

He had already been deceived by the blind man and Li Taibai into going to the ancient ruins.

After he came back, Dayin had moved its capital to Luoyang, and the title of Xiangguo Temple's No. 1 temple in the world was also taken away by White Horse Temple.

In fact, Fuhu Arhat didn't care about the other monks in the temple. The only thing he cared about was this chief disciple.

Li Nuo was surprised and said: "Didn't Master Shichen of Bodhidharma Academy tell you?"

"It's just that Huijue betrayed Buddhism and eloped with Miss Qin's family, but I don't believe it. There must be some misunderstanding here."

The old monk's eyelids twitched.

It took Hui Jue fifteen years to recover his broken Buddha roots. This also meant that he had given up the mortal world and devoted himself to practicing Buddhism. How could he do such a stupid thing as elope with Miss Qin's family?

There must be something fishy in the meantime!

Li Nuo sighed: "Old monk, Hui Jue did take Qin Yishuang away. He said they were going west on foot..."

If we hike westward, we won't be able to reach Lingshan Mountain in the Western Regions in just a few years.

Li Nuo was also shocked when he heard this.

He knew that Huijue could endure this hardship, but could Qin Yishuang, who had always been well-dressed and well-fed and never done heavy work, be able to bear it?

At that time, Huijue eloped with Qin Yishuang, and they indeed left from the west gate of Chang'an.

"I understand."

The monk sighed.

After being prompted by Li Nuo, he already knew what was going on.

This kid.

Why……

Going to Buddhism is bound to be very difficult.

This is a provocation to the Buddhist system of strict rules and precepts.

Maybe the Buddha would be tolerant and forgive Huijue. But what about the other monks? They would only make things difficult for Huijue in every possible way.

But when he thought of Huijue's perseverance, the old monk felt relieved.

Perseverance.

Great perseverance.

Once you cross this threshold, you will not say that you will become a Buddha instantly, but at least your future will be limitless, and your future achievements will definitely be far higher than his.

"Amitabha, good, good, good."

The old monk murmured, then closed his eyes and struck the wooden fish.

But the hand was trembling slightly, indicating that he was not at peace in his heart at this time.

When Li Nuo saw this, he knew that this was the old monk's order to expel guests.

"Then monk, you continue to cultivate your body, and I will take my leave."

Li Nuo bowed his hands and left Xiangguo Temple with [Arhat's Golden Body].

At the foot of the mountain.

When Jiang Ran'er saw her brother finally coming down, she ran up happily: "Brother, why did it take so long? Let's go, the carriage is ready."

Li Nuo nodded and boarded the carriage with Jiang Ran'er. But who knew, there was no one in the carriage!

"Where are my mother-in-law?"

Li Nuo asked.

Jiang Ran'er also had a look of astonishment on her face: "Hey, I saw her getting on the bus just now, but why did she disappear? Driver, have you seen my mother?"

The old coachman looked confused.

Is it possible to see a ghost in broad daylight?

impossible!

This is the territory of Xiangguo Temple. What monsters and monsters dare to act unruly here!

Li Nuo hurriedly let go of his senses. However, no trace of his mother was found within a radius of several kilometers.

But there was only one place that he couldn't investigate.

He frowned inadvertently and looked up at the mountain temple.

There, it was shrouded in the thick power of Buddha.

If he forced his way to investigate, he would be noticed by the old monk.

He hesitated for a moment and finally gave up. He said: "Old man, go back to Chang'an."

"Okay, sir!"

The driver whipped the horse, and the wheels creaked as the carriage began to move slowly.

"Brother, aren't you looking for a mother?"

Jiang Ran'er asked quickly.

"She is such a big person. If she really wants to leave, how can we stop her?"

Li Nuo sighed.

"Ah, brother, do you know where my mother has gone?"

Jiang Ran'er was very curious.

"We'd better not get involved in the affairs of our elders."

Li Nuo roughly understood that his mother finally returned to Xiangguo Temple.

What kind of obsession made my mother insist on seeing the old monk.

But no matter what, old monk, old monk, just ask for your blessings.

And just as Li Nuo guessed, Jiang Rou appeared in the back mountain at this time.

Her eyes swept over the beautiful scenery of the back mountain, and finally landed on the Zen monastery that had been battered by wind and rain for decades.

There was a memory of her there.

Until sunset and dusk...she stood quietly in front of the fence gate on the back hill, motionless, just like the husband's stone.

During this period, novice novices and senior monks came to persuade her, but no one could persuade her.

In the end, the monks also gave up.

As long as this female benefactor does not step into the forbidden area of ​​​​the back mountain and disturb the abbot's spiritual practice, then let her be.

Until the sunset falls and the moon hangs on the willow branches.

At this time.

With a creak, the meditation room in the backyard slowly opened, and a helpless sigh came out: "Amitabha, why is Donor Jiang so stubborn?"

The stone statue seemed to come to life, and Jiang Rou's eyes were filled with tears: "Monk, are you finally willing to talk to me?"

"It's time to go back. Donor Jiang, please go back. I won't see you."

"What happened when we met? Could it be that you are afraid?"

"Yes, I am afraid that if I see you, I will have to cultivate the Buddha's mind again."

The monk sighed.

Jiang Rou smiled, her smile even more beautiful than the sunset. The monk said this, doesn't it mean that he has not forgotten her?

"We are all just gravel in the rolling world of mortals. We are all mortal beings with naked eyes. How can there be any true Buddha's heart in this world? Old monk, you are obsessed with physical appearance. You cannot become a Buddha through this practice."

"Amitabha, why does Lord Jiang want to destroy my Taoism?"

The old monk sighed.

He especially remembered that back then, this woman, no, back then...she was just a girl, and she had also said that he could not become a Buddha.

"Can I go in and talk? The mountain wind is a bit strong!"

Jiang Rou is pushing the envelope.

"After seeing this, is Donor Jiang willing to let go of his obsession?"

the monk asked.

The mountain wind ruffled Jiang Rou's green hair, and also disturbed the monk's inner lake.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll see you and settle this cause and effect."

Jiang Rou said simply.

But how can we easily believe what a woman says?

"Okay, then come in."

Monk, monk, you are still too honest.

Jiang Rou crossed the mountain gate and walked into the courtyard.

Looking at the aging old monk, Jiang Rou felt extremely distressed. She wanted to reach out and touch the old monk's face, but she paused.

She said angrily: "How did you do this? Who hurt you?"

Seeing that the girl in the past had become a noble lady now, the old monk just looked at her face quietly without saying a word.

Jiang Rou still noticed something, and said angrily: "This is demonic energy! Is it the demons who hurt you?"

The old monk nodded and said, "Donor Jiang, I have agreed to meet you. Can you go back now?"

"Oh, it's getting so late. Do you have the heart for me to go back like this? What if I encounter evil people and get bullied along the way?"

Jiang Rou said.

This is called asking gods to be easy to send but difficult to send them away.

You've already come, how can you leave so easily?

"It's great, nothing has changed here."

Jiang Rou passed by the monk and walked into the Zen room as if she were entering her own home.

She skillfully walked to the bookshelf next to her, flipped through it, and found a picture scroll.

"Assuming you have kept your promise, it has been thirty-five years and you are still keeping it."

Jiang Rou carefully opened the scroll, and with just a few strokes, she sketched out a lively and lively girl.

The expression between the girl's eyebrows is vaguely similar to hers.

This is her thirty-seven years ago!

However, there was a natural disaster in the north at that time, and she could no longer survive in the north, so she followed the refugees all the way south, and finally arrived in Chang'an, the most prosperous city.

And she was also dying. Fortunately, Xiangguo Temple opened a mountain to provide porridge, and she survived.

At that time, Monk Fuhu was only a fifth-grade warrior monk, but his reputation was already very famous.

They know each other and know each other.

She thinks there is love and love.

However, the monk did not admit it.

In the following months, the government slowly accepted the refugees.

But she refused to leave Xiangguo Temple.

And in order to get happiness, she did something that would put her in a pig cage.

She got Monk Fuhu drunk, who didn't know what women were at that time...

after that.

The paper could not contain the fire, and the bulge in the abdomen made the old abbot aware of it.

After she gave birth to her child, the abbot used magical powers to seal this memory and drove her out of Xiangguo Temple.

The child was taken in and raised by Xiangguo Temple as a northern refugee.

Monk Fuhu was also punished by facing the wall.

The two of them lost contact.

after that.

She was favored by Lord Yao Wanggu and accepted as the heir of the mantle.

As the girl grew up, the title of one of the four beauties in the world fell on her head unconsciously.

She stirred up the turmoil in the world, and even Yang Zhiqiu of Hidden Sword Villa could never forget her.

It was not until later that she met the destined man - Li Tiancheng. Then she was out of the world and could live happily with her husband and children.

It's just that this relationship didn't last forever. After she learned about Li Tiancheng's ambition, she chose to make peace with him, took Jiang Ran'er away, and returned to Yaowang Valley.

And as my cultivation level increased, the dusty memory in my mind was released.

She had been in pain and cried bitterly.

For hundreds of days and nights, she never slept peacefully.

------------------

Li Nuo didn't know that there was such a bad relationship between his mother and the monk!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He doesn’t even know that he has a half-brother!

As soon as he returned home, Qiluo angrily handed over a greeting card: "Sister-in-law, there is a beautiful woman who invites you to admire the moon."

Li Nuo took a look at the greeting card and saw that it was signed Cui Wanwan.

This made him a little confused.

Could it be that his identity was discovered in Xiangguo Temple?

impossible!

But they haven't seen each other for more than a year, and the relationship between the two has been completely severed. Why does this Cui Wanwan want to date him so suddenly?

"Husband, Miss Cui must have something important to do when she invites you. Just go and see her."

Ye Qingyu, on the other hand, spoke gently and generously, not afraid at all of her husband and old sweetheart rekindling their old relationship.

Hey!

Of course she's not afraid.

Because she saw that her husband's fate of "endless happiness" was still so dazzling, but Cui Wanwan had nothing to do with it.

Otherwise, she would have evaporated Cui Wanwan into the world with a sword.

Do you really think she has no temper?

I remember back then, she was a ruthless leader of the Demon Cult!

It was only after I got married these past few years that my temper became somewhat restrained.

"Qiluo, come with me."

Li Nuo put away his driving post and nodded.

"Ah, shall I go with my uncle?"

Qiluo looked confused.

"You girl are just afraid that my old relationship with Cui Wanwan will rekindle. You go with me. If she dares to pester me, just stab her with a sword. That's alright."

Li Nuo smiled.

"Hehe, then I really went. Uncle, just don't regret it then."

Qiluo didn't have the consciousness not to be a light bulb. She grinned excitedly, her pretty face turning red.

"Ran'er, are you going to stay with me or stay in the house?"

Li Nuo said again.

Bringing one is a belt, and bringing two is a belt.

"Hehe, is it appropriate for me to go?"

Jiang Ran'er said happily.

"certainly!"

Li Nuo nodded.

Cui Wanwan asked him to get together at Moon Lake.

Moon Lake, as its name suggests, is the most famous place for moon-viewing in Chang'an City.

Every summer evening, this place becomes the best place for talented people to fall in love.
