It’s not that Xiu’er has never seen the world, but it’s a truth that everyone in the world knows: the right way in the world, evil cannot prevail over good, evildoers appear in troubled times, and Taoism and Buddhism have their own way of collecting demons and subjugating them. Although Taoism and Buddhism have different beliefs, they have the same purpose.
It is to eliminate evil and promote good. They are the nemesis of monsters and ghosts. They have always been the only ones to catch monsters. There are no monsters who come to your door in person. Only monsters with brain damage or disease will be sent to your door to seek death.
"What should we do now?" To catch the demon, Xiu'er is an outsider
"This demon has a certain moral code. Don't act rashly. If you rush in rashly, I'm afraid it will scare the snake."
"But if you don't chase me now, the monster will run away."
"If I guess correctly, she lives in the temple."
Xiu'er was surprised that the most dangerous place was the safest place. Those monks who were chasing monsters everywhere couldn't even guess that the monsters were hiding comfortably in the temple.
Zhuang Yuchen put his sword aside and stretched out his hand to take off his Taoist robe.
Xiu'er was startled and quickly covered her face, "What are you going to do?"
"..." What he just said turned a deaf ear to her?
Zhuang Yuchen took out his casual clothes from the baggage and put it on. Xiuer, the handyman, secretly opened his fingers and saw that he was not messing around. Then she realized that she was wrong. She quickly folded the Taoist robe he had changed and put it into the baggage.
Wrap his sword with a cloth and hide it. After all, it is not a good idea to go in with a sword in this important place of Buddhism.
She took a look at Zhuang Yuchen, who was wearing casual clothes. He looked like a handsome and handsome young man. However, she always felt that he had a unique look in his sky blue robe.
Xiu'er was a little worried about him dressing up and entering the temple to succumb to demons. Taoism and Buddhism had always been inseparable, and there was little communication between the sects. Would he offend the monks in the temple if he went in like this?
It would be shameful for a monk not to know that there are monsters. But if a Taoist priest breaks into a monk's territory to catch monsters, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to others?
It is estimated that Zhuang Yuchen had anticipated this, so Xiuer, who had disguised himself to enter the temple, thought about it and did not dare to speak again. Zhuang Yuchen was uncertain, so it would be better for her not to offend him.
After waiting for some time at the entrance of the temple, the sky gradually became brighter. The heavy wooden door of the temple slowly opened with a creak. A monk in his mid-twenties came out with a big handful, lowering his head and sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the door.
Zhuang Yuchen walked forward and saluted him with his hands clasped together. The monk returned the salute and said, "I wonder what the donor has done for you?"
"I went on a long trip and saw a temple when I passed by here. I came here specially to burn incense and pray for the safety of my family." When someone spoke, he was very pious, which was very different from the cold and arrogant people who are usually full of killings.
"The donor is interested, please come in." The monk made a gesture of invitation and motioned for him to go into the temple.
At that time, Zhou Yuchen looked at the monk seriously. Unexpectedly, he was surprised when he looked at him. He felt that the man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Zhou Yuchen stepped into the temple, but found that Xiu'er didn't follow him in. When he looked back, he was in a daze in the distance with his baggage and sword in his arms.
"Why don't you come in?" You're a weakling!
After being greeted by Zhuang Yuchen, Xiu'er ran over stupidly, but when she passed by the monk, the sword in her arms suddenly shook slightly. Xiu'er was startled, but when she lowered her head, she saw something in her arms.
There was nothing. She thought it was her illusion and quickly hugged the sword tightly.
The monk saluted her and said, "Donor please"
"Hello, Master." Xiu'er quickly returned the greeting and looked up at him, but who knew that it was this look that shocked Xiu'er on the spot.
"Clang", the sword and the baggage in her arms fell to the ground, but Xiu'er didn't realize it at all, as if she had been tapped on an acupuncture point, she stared at the monk, unable to calm down.
"Donor?" The monk was surprised by Xiu'er's astonished look. He bent down to pick up the things on the ground and handed them to Xiu'er, "Your things."
Xiu'er suddenly grabbed his arm tightly, opened her lips and teeth slightly, and said incoherently: "Big... big... big brother..."
"Almsgiver..." Her loss of control made the monk quite embarrassed. He looked at Zhuang Yuochen not far away, hoping that he would save Amitabha and commit all his crimes...
"Brother" Xiu'er excitedly grabbed the monk's arm and burst into tears, "I am Xiu'er, Xiu'er..."
"Xiu'er?" The monk was startled and looked at the tearful woman in front of him, "Are you... Xiu'er?"
The monk carefully looked at Xiu'er's facial features. After a long time, he burst into tears and said, "Xiu'er, it's really Xiu'er."
"Brother" Xiu'er hugged the monk uncontrollably and cried loudly, "I finally found you, I finally found you..."
Zhuang Yuchen was shocked. He chased the monster to the temple and accidentally helped Zhu Xiuer find her relatives. But he remembered that she said that she was an orphan and her relatives were dead. Why did she suddenly run out of a big brother? What did she do to him?
What is being hidden?
The girl is fifteen and has a hairpin, and the boy is sixteen and has a hairpin. An Yuwen is the eldest son. He is ten years older than Xiuer. When he went out to study art, he was already a human and has a hairpin and a crown. His body has almost stopped growing, and his appearance is the same.
As we age, we slowly change due to the erosion of time.
An Yuwen, in Xiu'er's mind, has always been the same as he was nine years ago. For nine years, even if a person's appearance changes, the change is not significant. This is why Xiu'er can recognize An Yuwen at a glance.
reason
When he left home, Xiu'er was only five years old. She was a child who hadn't even grown up. An Yuwen couldn't recognize Xiu'er, but he was absolutely sure that the person in front of him was his sister An Xiu'er.
Between the angular eyebrows, there was the shadow of his mother. He could feel the aura on her body, which was the aura of the An family.
Anjia, the home he missed so much every day after nine years of absence.
Xiu'er dreams of finding An Yuwen. He is the only person in the An family who can inherit the incense and is also her surviving family member. But...how did he become a monk?
Her heart was in turmoil many times. She had thought that her eldest brother had not been heard from for many years, maybe he had died in the war, or he could not go home because of the war. In short, she had imagined various reasons, but she could only
I never thought he would become a monk
"Brother, why are you..." Looking at An Yuwen's shining head, Xiu'er cried loudly, "Why?"
"It's hard to say anything." An Yuwen calmed down a little, resumed Buddhist etiquette, clasped his hands together and said: "Almsgiver, please come in."
An benefactor? Zhuang Yuchen was startled, An... An Xiu'er?
It turned out that her surname was not Zhu at all, but An. No wonder An Xiuer felt that the monk looked familiar to him. It turned out that she was An Xiuer's eldest brother. Although he had never met An Yuwen, he had met An Xiuer on the day of the engagement.
The second brother An Qixian, An Yuwen and An Qixian look very similar.
Zhuang Yuchen couldn't believe that the woman in front of him would be the woman he had been engaged to many years ago - An Xiu'er. It turned out that... he had been looking for her everywhere in the past few years, but when she appeared next to him, he couldn't recognize her.
!
Xiu'er's heart felt as if the person in front of her was her elder brother who had been living abroad for many years. His life and death had not been known for nine years. Why could he call her the benefactor An so calmly?
An Yuwen put down the broom in her hand and took Xiu'er into the temple. When she passed by Zhuang Yuchen, Xiu'er saw him staring at her angrily. Thinking that he knew her true identity, she was very uneasy, so she lowered her head and said: "
I will give you an explanation, please give me some time, okay?"
"You brothers and sisters are reunited. I'll be waiting for you." Zhuang Yuchen said coldly, turned around and left.
An Yuwen looked at the retreating figure, "Who is this donor?"
Xiu'er held his hand, wiped her tears and said with a smile, "I'll tell you later."
An Yuwen took Xiu'er to a secluded corner, and the two sat down on the steps. Xiu'er couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, what happened? How did you become a monk?"
"Back then, I left home to seek refuge with Uncle Chen in a foreign country. I wanted to learn juggling from him and make money. Unexpectedly, before I could find Uncle Chen, I contracted a bad disease. All the money I had on me was gone, so I begged all the way south, but the war was raging outside.
For days, there were ambushes everywhere and people were starving everywhere. Not to mention the food, even the bark of wild vegetables and trees were robbed. Just when I almost died of starvation and illness, an old monk passing by saved me and I followed him everywhere.
Over time, I was moved by him, and I came up with the idea of converting to Buddhism. I have been with him all these years, practicing Buddhism with great concentration, hoping that one day I can accumulate virtue and do good and save all sentient beings like Master."
"Being an ordinary citizen can also accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Why do you have to be a monk?" Xiu'er still didn't understand and burst into tears. "You didn't write a letter to say you were safe when you were away. My family is always worried about you."
"I write letters every year, maybe because of the war, the letters cannot reach you safely." An Yuwen clasped his hands, "Amitabha, the poor monk chants sutras and chants Buddha's name every morning and evening. Baoan's family is safe. I don't know my father."
Is mother okay?"
It was okay that An Yuwen didn't ask. When he asked, Xiu'er covered her head and cried sadly, "Except for me and you, they are all dead."
The beads in his hand fell to the ground with a crash, the rope was broken, and the beads were scattered all over the ground. An Yuwen's face turned pale, and after a long while he asked: "Why?"
Xiu'er endured the pain and told everything about An Dalang being bitten by a zombie and An Yueze's eventual transformation into a zombie. She held An Yuwen's hand and begged: "Brother, the only one left in the An family is
You have a bloodline, and the incense of the An family must not be cut off in our generation. You return to secular life and come home with me."
