But Chang Sui'an shook his head: "I don't know which family it is from. I just know that it is the girl who went to the back mountain to pick chrysanthemums yesterday. She seems to have disappeared in the back mountain... The monks in the temple and the imperial guards searched for it all night.
It has not been found yet.”
Chang Sui Ning roughly understood the phrase "I don't know which family it is from yet." It seemed that the girl's family had deliberately concealed their identity.
The girls accompanying this time are all the daughters of officials and powerful people. Now she has been missing for a day and a night. If there is a big fuss and everyone knows about it, even if she is found later, there will be criticism and trouble.
Under such circumstances, it is a common practice to not disclose the identity to the outside world for the time being in order to protect the reputation of the daughter's family and the family's face.
Among the girls who were traveling together, one might be able to make some guesses based on who was missing, but for a man like her brother, there was no way to investigate.
"Cui Liulangjun and I wanted to help find someone, but the Imperial Guards just said they didn't need it and didn't let us get close. Now the back mountain has been surrounded," Chang Sui'an said.
Cui Liulang said that this was because he did not want irrelevant people like them to interfere.
Chang Suining nodded: "With the Forbidden Army here, there should be no shortage of manpower to find people..."
The Imperial Army's move must have been prompted by the girl's family or the Holy Book Emperor. Firstly, they did not want to publicize the identity of the missing girl, and secondly...
If the worst outcome does occur, this will ensure that the scene of the accident is not excessively damaged as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Chang Suining subconsciously said: "No matter which family the girl is from, I just hope she can be found safely."
Chang Sui'an nodded.
Seeing that the abbot's room was right in front of them, the brother and sister pressed the matter down without saying anything more.
The moment she stepped into the room, Chang Sui Ning deliberately made herself look natural without showing any flaws.
Wujue looked the same as usual. When he saw the two brothers and sisters coming over, he smiled and urged his disciples to prepare food.
"Have you been bored in the tower for the past three days? It's cold even when you bring the vegetarian meal..." Wu Jue personally picked up the dishes for Chang Sui Ning, "Here, let's eat something hot to warm up."
Chang Suining watched him picking up the vegetables in his porridge bowl, and then looked at what was on the table. For a moment, he seemed to be pulled back many years ago.
Chang Sui'an also noticed the difference: "Why does today's fasting meal seem different from usual?"
"Of course it's different." Wujue smiled and said, "I did all of these today."
Chang Sui An was surprised: "You are also good at cooking!"
"What, your father didn't tell you? In the past, when I was marching with His Highness, I was always the one cooking. I cooked the mutton noodle soup with my own hands. It was so fragrant. Your father could only eat five big bowls, but he almost had to eat the pot.
Wow!"
"He has been thinking about this bite all year round, and he still begs me to make him a bowl from time to time. But that's not possible, I am a monk now."
Wujue smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and looked at the girl who was eating vegetables with her eyes lowered: "I can't make meat dishes, so let's try some vegetarian dishes. It's just that I haven't cooked for a long time, so I don't know if my skills are still there."
Chang Suining lowered his head and chewed slowly.
Here I am.
It still tastes the same as before, nothing has changed.
It seemed that after eating, he got up, put on his armor, and left the tent with Lao Chang and others to kill the enemy.
After Chang Sui'an tasted it twice, he nodded in surprise and said it was delicious. No wonder his father was so greedy that he wanted to eat the pot!
Wu Jue put down his chopsticks halfway through the meal and said with a smile: "Happy Sui, just sit down and eat slowly. I will take little Sui Ning into the inner room to talk about Buddhism... If anyone knocks on the door, you haven't used it yet."
After dinner, let them wait outside."
Chang Sui'an was startled when he heard this. What Buddhist teachings does Master Wujue want to discuss with his sister alone?
What's more, you said you were asking him to eat, but it was more like asking him to stay here and watch out?
The boy subconsciously looked at his sister and saw that she also put down the bowl and chopsticks, so he nodded.
Although he was a little puzzled, since one was his sister and the other was Master Wujue who had watched him grow up, Chang Sui'an followed the arrangement and continued to eat where he was.
Chang Sui Ning followed Wu Jue into the inner room.
"What kind of Buddhist teachings does Second Dad want to talk to me about?" she asked.
"Don't worry, let's go inside and talk..." Wu Jue said, raising his finger.
Chang Suining followed the direction of his finger and looked:...under the bed?
It's a little too deep here.
Wujue motioned for her to go forward.
"You are the elder, please go ahead." Chang Sui Ning said politely.
"Why, are you afraid that some agency will plot against you?" Wujue snorted, a little dissatisfied: "You really don't believe me that much?"
With that said, he strode to the bed as if he was proving his innocence, bent over and climbed in.
After a while, a slightly muffled voice came from under the bed: "Look, I'm not dead."
"..." Chang Suining then followed in.
She followed Wu Jue through a secret passage and came to a secret room.
Like Cui Jing last time, Chang Suining's eyes were first attracted to those wine jars.
Wujue walked to the stone wall and lit a lamp.
After the lamp was lit, Wujue still stood where he was, with his back to Chang Sui Ning.
It was strangely quiet all around.
After a while, it was Chang Suining who spoke first: "Where is the Dharma?"
Wujue didn't answer her.
After another moment of silence, the fat figure spoke.
The voice was not high-pitched, but a bit hoarse, a bit sighing, a bit complaining, and a bit caring about the young.
"You came back, why didn't you say anything?"
Without hearing a response, Wu Jue turned around slowly, his eye circles already red. When he asked again, his voice was higher: "Since you are back... why don't you tell your subordinates!"
Chang Sui Ning looked at him puzzled: "...what's coming back?"
Wujue glared: "You still don't admit it!"
Chang Suining: "Admit what...?"
Wujue's nose felt sore, he sat down with a plop, clapped his legs and started crying: "You are so cruel, you still refuse to acknowledge your subordinates until now!"
Chang Suining: "..."
"Are you lords so cruel?"
"I look forward to your return day and night... At this age, how many days do I have left to live?"
"I gave you the finger but you refused to take it. Now you are pretending not to recognize me... How can I still harm you?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wujue complained with tears and snot, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions that had been suppressed for many years.
Chang Suining had a headache from crying.
He had guessed that she was most afraid of people around her crying in front of her.
Wu Jue's crying alone was not enough. He rolled up the sleeves of his monk's robe and cried even more aggrieved: "Look at the sores all over my body, how can I be the one who will harm you?"
Sores?
Chang Suining looked over and saw that there were many sores and scars on his hands and arms, which were densely packed and shocking.
How did this come about?
Wujue wiped his nose and cried: "As a monk, I have all the sores on my body because of you. You may not believe in Lao Chang, Lao Meng and the others, but you cannot disown me!"
For her?
Wujue continued to cry: "Your Highness, if you still have some conscience, just admit it!"
Chang Suining: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about..."
There is no absolute certainty: “You understand!”
He said: "The only person who can be so harsh-spoken is His Highness!"
Chang Suining: "...I'm not."
Wujue: "You are it!"
Then, without waiting for Chang Suining to deny it again, he said with tearful eyes: "Whoever lies is a donkey!"
He added: "Whoever doesn't admit it will be bald tomorrow!"
Chang Suining: "..."
It’s not necessary to threaten in such a high-level way!
Wujue stared at her closely: "Tell me again, are you?"
"..." Chang Sui Ning looked at him helplessly.
Their eyes met for a moment, Chang Suining sighed softly.
Wujue was obviously 100% sure, so her denial was meaningless.
Chang Suining, who didn't want to be that unlucky guy at all, wanted to look at the sky with some annoyance, but when he looked up, he saw a wall of earth.
"Okay, it's me," she said.
The next moment, Jue Wujue rushed towards her, knelt down at her feet and cried loudly, "Wow!"
"You finally admitted it!"
"The sores on my body were all round when they first appeared. I knew that if the sores were so menacing, they would become something serious... It really didn't happen in vain!"
Chang Suining lowered her head and looked at the abbot master who was lying at her feet and crying loudly.
After a while, she squatted down and patted his back gently: "Okay, you are now an eminent monk, why are you crying like this?"
Wujue wiped away tears: "I'm not making you angry..."
"It's obvious that you made things difficult for others." Chang Suining sat back casually and sighed: "I should cry."
Wujue said aggrievedly: "I just want to get to know you, and I have no intention of forcing you to do anything..."
After admitting it all, Chang Sui Ning stopped worrying about it and asked him: "But how did you determine that it was me?"
Is she easy to recognize?
A person who has been dead for more than ten years suddenly reappears in another person. This is such an incredible thing that no one would believe it.
What is the basis for Wujue to be so certain?——The secret in the Heavenly Girl Tower?
Cui Jing hinted to her before leaving that Wujue had the answer she wanted.
Wujue choked up and said: "Everything in the world has its own cause and effect. Although you have changed your identity and appearance, you are still you... It was God's inspiration that allowed my subordinates to recognize you."
Chang Suining: "...Let's say something that people can understand."
Wujue choked up for a moment before saying, "It was Governor Cui who told me."
Chang Suining: "Cui Jing?"
"Yes." Wujue nodded and said: "It was Governor Cui who recognized you first... His subordinates set up a taboo formation in the Tiannv Tower. He is the one who has the opportunity to create this formation. He is a person with intentions.
People who are interested in watching your unintentional actions will naturally start to make assumptions."
"What really convinced Governor Cui in the end was your unusual self-rescue when you encountered difficulties in Hezhou." Wu Jue asked: "Your Highness came back at that time, right?"
Chang Suining nodded.
Wujue said: "As early as that time, the formation in the tower had already given guidance... But no one thought at that time that you had actually come back."
Chang Suining looked at him, "So, the formation in the Heavenly Girl Tower..."
Wujue: "This is for your resurrection."
Resurrection?
Although I had thought about this possibility in the past few days, Chang Sui Ning's heart still stirred when he heard it with his own ears.
It turns out that her "resurrection from the dead" was not accidental, but man-made.
Then, she has two questions that need to be confirmed and faced.
