Chapter 611 There is Yuanjun in Yunmeng, and there is a giant dragon in Wuyue [7k more updates, please vote for me!]
"Why do these female nuns from Yunmengze want to prevent the Donglin Giant Buddha from landing?"
Before Ouyang Rong could speak, Xie Lingjiang asked sharply.
Li Xian thought for a moment and Xu said:
"Do you also think that I broke the tacit old covenant without saying a word during Holy Week, and what I did was unethical?
"Or maybe you are disgusted with Buddhism? I remember that in the history of the Southern Dynasties, many emperors flattered the Buddha, built Buddhist temples, worshiped the Buddha excessively, and squandered a large amount of treasury wealth on Buddhist affairs, which affected the production of the people.
"Yunmeng Jianze has experienced that period, and he may hate it deeply, especially Emperor Chengfo."
As soon as this was said, the dining table was strangely quiet for a while.
Especially when they heard the four words "Emperor of the Buddha", everyone made "unreasonable associations" with it. It's so familiar.
Li Xian, who was sent by the Queen Mother to monitor the Donglin Buddha, realized what he had realized, covered his mouth and coughed, and said no more.
"That makes sense."
Li Bao'er responded with a crisp snap of her fingers.
Everyone looked around and saw that she took a sip of broth with a silver spoon and carefully put it into her red-lipped mouth. After drinking the sip of soup, she was about to speak to everyone again and frowned slightly.
Li Bao'er seemed to have kicked away someone who was "sneaking" under the table and rubbing her calf under the hem of her skirt.
With two fingers, she picked up a piece of pastry from the pastry plate placed on the edge of the dining table and dropped it at her feet.
After sending it away, he continued:
"In addition, didn't they say that the Empress Gui is the Empress, and Yuanjun is Gui Yuanjun? They had an old agreement with our Li family before, and they probably have always regarded this land of Wuyue and the hometown of the Southern Dynasties as their own back garden.
"How can we allow others to snore next to the couch? No need to maintain the majesty of Yuanjun for thousands of years? To some extent, the strong incense of Buddhism in Jiangnan will definitely affect them.
"There are only so many believers. If there is more Buddhism, there will be one less for them. Moreover, everyone only has so much time every day to burn incense and worship Buddha. How can they still have time to see their Yunmeng Yuanjun?
"It's obviously a conflict of interests. As my father said, they hated the Emperor Cheng Buddha in the history of the Southern Dynasty. This is probably the same reason. If the Emperor Cheng Cheng of the Southern Dynasty was not the Buddha but their Yuanjun, then it would be fine.
"In the final analysis, it is still a naked struggle for interests. It is like this in the whole world. How big do you think the pattern can be?
"Grandma sent us to build the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou this time, which almost indicates that the Buddhist incense in Jiangnan will become more prosperous, and more people will worship the Buddha.
"This is simply digging into their foundations, although it will not be achieved overnight... Rather than being replaced and slowly waiting to die, it is better to give it a go and destroy the Donglin Giant Buddha and knock the mountain to shake the tiger. This is in line with the rumored Lady Yunmeng.
character.
"As for the grandma and the two kings of the Wei family, this time they built the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu and the Sifang Buddha. In fact, they were not targeting Yunmeng Jianze or Tiannan alone. The world is so big, and the Sifang Buddha statues will fall in all directions. How can they only focus on it?
In this place in the south of the Yangtze River.
"However, Grandma and the others must have never imagined that the response to the statue creation was the most intense in Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road, and there is actually a group of rebellious and unruly Yunmeng Yue girls here in Tiannan."
Li Bao'er shook his head, twirled the silver spoon, and took another mouthful of hot soup. His mouth was slightly pouted, and he blew gently into the silver spoon.
Ouyang Rong ate quietly and kept picking up dishes. During this period, he silently listened to Li Xian and Li Guo'er's analysis.
Didn't speak immediately.
In fact, the construction of the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu and the Four Directions Buddha was entirely proposed by the Wei family. Apart from Her Majesty the Queen, only the Wei family and Si Tianjian who assisted them knew the specific details.
At first, he completely kicked out the DPRK-centered security faction and did not take any advantage of the Prime Minister's Palace.
The Xunyang Palace was able to participate because Her Majesty the Queen gave the golden mouth.
But they can only serve as local executors. The specific details, the governor-general Wei Wang and Si Tianjian are all hidden and cautious.
For example, Ouyang Rong has not been close to the "facially damaged" golden Buddha head in the Xunyang Grottoes now. Every time he went there, he was accompanied by Grandma Song, so naturally he couldn't take a closer look.
If Ouyang Rong and Prince Xunyang simply take the credit for building the Donglin Buddha and use it to return to Beijing, then they really don't have to worry about it...
"I always feel it's not that simple."
Everyone turned around and saw Ouyang Rong speaking. He was chewing food and his words were a little unclear:
"This time Yunmeng Jianze's reaction was too fierce. It was not a wise move to directly confront the court. The eldest lady is unruly, but there is a female queen inside Yunmeng Jianze." It is impossible for a king’s palace to be without wise people.”
He sighed softly:
"However, what Her Royal Highness the Princess said is not unreasonable. It may be due to one reason."
In fact, Ouyang Rong still has one detail that he hasn't elaborated on yet.
It is also something that Li Guoer, Li Xian and others don't know.
That means Yunmeng Jianze may not hate Buddhism very much.
At least I am not disgusted with the Lotus Pure Land Buddhism represented behind the Donglin Buddha.
The reason why we came to this conclusion is because of the former Lotus Tower Alliance.
From the last words left by Master Zhongma in the Pure Land Palace, it can be seen that during the Southern Dynasties, the relationship between Yunmeng Jianze, Donglin Temple and the swordsmith family Longcheng Meijia was not bad.
It was also because of this that, under the leadership of the Southern Dynasty royal family, Yunmeng Jianze was able to safely hand over a [cauldron] to the Mei family of Longcheng to forge the sword, and at the same time allowed the Qi practitioner monks from the Taoist lineage of Donglin Temple to serve as sword holders.
Although later, judging from the way the old swordsmith of Longcheng's Grade A Sword Furnace presented his sword, the Lotus Pagoda Alliance has not yet been completed.
The Donglin Temple Taoist lineage and the Mei family swordsmith's Taoist lineage were also destroyed by some kind of retribution curse.
But Yunmeng Jianze will not allow Donglin Buddhism to spread in Jiangnan because of this.
After all, looking at what the old swordsmith and Master Zhongma have done, it can be seen that the heirs of the two powers have tried their best to fulfill their covenant... although they have failed.
Anyway, there should be no enmity between Yunmeng Jianze and Donglin Buddha himself, who promotes the Lotus Pure Land Buddhism.
Then the problem can only lie with the Imperial Si Tianjian and the Wei family.
"I agree with Senior Brother's point of view."
Xie Lingjiang nodded, lowered his eyes and poured a glass of wine for Ouyang Rong, and said in a clear voice:
"This kind of hidden sect that has stood for thousands of years is not that simple. The key to its existence for so long lies in the word 'hidden world'. It rarely interferes in the secular disputes under the mountain, and its ambitions are not that small, otherwise Buddhism would not be so powerful.
Exists till now...
"And once they really interfere in the affairs at the foot of the mountain, it must be something they consider serious and they have to end."
Being tactfully refuted by the two of them, Li Guo'er didn't look annoyed at all.
A thoughtful look appeared in her eyes, and she said curiously:
"What you two mean is that...in addition to the pros and cons above, there are also some things we don't know about, such as the Qi practitioner level?
"If this is true, it is indeed beyond our understanding."
Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes and said nothing, and the bronze dagger that was taken away by Rong Nushi and engraved with a painful evil dragon appeared in front of his eyes unconsciously.
What exactly does Yunmeng Jianze want?
If it is said that they are coveting worldly power and position, why do they retreat to Yunmeng collectively, stand by and watch the secular world for a long time, and be a secluded sect with peace of mind.
If you say you have no desires and only pursue the immortality of practicing qi, then why do you need to issue something like Yunmeng Order, which is obviously a strict organization, to coordinate the scattered strength of qi practitioners in the Tiannan Jianghu under the mountain to fight against the imperial court?
Boycott the Donglin Giant Buddha.
Looking at it from another angle, does the Yunmeng female cultivator need earthly Qi refining resources in pursuit of immortality?
Not necessarily, in terms of resources, there are many uncivilized places in Yunmeng Ze, which contain thousands of strange and strange things, so there should be no shortage of Qi training materials.
So what about faith? Faith is actually an expensive resource.
The popular beliefs cultivated by Yunmeng Jianze in Jiangnan and Lingnan are almost all concentrated on "Yuanjun". Many simple people in the land of Wu and Yue actually only know "Yuanjun" and only know the legendary vast Yunmengze.
There is such a goddess living in the palace, but I don’t know that there is Yunmeng Jianze, and I don’t know that the master of Yunmeng Jianze, "Yuan Jun", is in most cases inherited by the virgin of the generation in the female monarch palace.
Yunmeng Jianze has carefully created and maintained the folk belief of such a "goddess", and there is nothing false about it. From the perspective of a qi practitioner, is it possible to gather some kind of "qi" for this goddess?
?
From this point of view, Yuanjun's Qi training level should not be low. Maybe he is a legendary third-level divine being from China? Or, to be bolder, "Yuanjun" is the name of a certain third-level Yuenu Dao lineage. It needs to be
The "qi" of faith comes to supply...
At present, this is the only conjecture that can explain why Yunmeng Jianze, while standing aloof, reclusive and independent, watching the world with cold eyes, issued Yunmeng Orders and maintained the belief in the "Yuanjun" in the hometown of Wuyue for thousands of years.
However, there is another small problem here. Doesn’t the Zhou court know about it?
Judging from the court's reaction and preparations before and after the collapse of the Xingzi Lake Buddha... Luoyang should have been caught off guard.
When we first decided on the plan to assist the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu with the Sifang Buddha statue, we did not expect that Yunmeng Jianze would have such a big backlash in Tiannan Jianghu. At that time, Her Majesty the Queen and the Wei family kings who were far away in Luoyang were just busy.
Purge the stubborn opponents within.
In other words, we expected that there might be people in the southwest who would oppose the Donglin Giant Buddha and cause trouble halfway, but we never expected that Yunmeng Jianze, the hidden sect, would end up directly.
The unexpected development of this situation is like, you and I have two families living next to each other, and I just took advantage of it and secretly occupied a little more land in front of your house one day. When you saw it, you went home immediately without saying anything.
He came out with a kitchen knife and pointed it at my head. I couldn't hold it back.
People can't help but reflect, could this extra bit of land be occupied by other people's ancestral graves? But they certainly didn't know that beforehand.
In the final analysis, we still need to find out whether the Donglin Buddha has any additional role besides spreading the Buddhism of the Lotus Pure Land Sect.
I remember that Rong Nushi seemed to have mentioned in private before that she was sent to Jiangzhou to supervise the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha by him and the Prince of Xunyang. She occupied a special quota.
Special quota?
"Don't you like these dishes, Tanlang?"
Wei Mei asked curiously.
She just saw Xie Lingjiang give Ouyang Rong a bowl of soup. As a result, Ouyang Rong kept holding the soup bowl in both hands, lowering his head to sip the soup, staring at the dishes on the table in front of him, and kept drinking the soup without picking up the vegetables.
"Ah? No, I like to eat, but this soup tastes better. I couldn't help but drink more... Auntie's cooking is still so exquisite."
Ouyang Rong came to his senses, put down the soup bowl, and smiled.
"It's okay. Tanlang, drink more. There is still some in the pot. Let the maid serve more."
Wei Mei said with a happy face, but as if she thought of something, she sighed again, her face a little sad:
"It's rare to have a meal together. Usually, either Qilang is busy, or Tanlang is busy and can't come, or Bao'er, Xie Xian's niece eats out and doesn't come home...
"Today is the same. Dalang is not here. Even though this brat is here, he is still immersed in eating and not talking, but... I always feel that something is missing. Well, I don't know what happened to him in Wannian County. He set off on his journey.
without……"
Wei Mei's voice gradually became quieter as she spoke.
When she noticed Li Xian next to her, both Li Guo'er looked at her with a straight face.
"clang……"
Li Xian, who had always been sluggish as a husband, knocked on the bowl, and his tone rarely sounded more majestic than the head of the family:
"Mei Niang is eating, don't mention that boy."
Ouyang Rong knew as soon as he heard that it must be Li Guo'er and Li Xian who mentioned the matter of Princess Anhui.
Wei Mei was quiet for a while, then suddenly her eyebrows stood up:
"Why are you so mean? I didn't say I wouldn't give in. Besides, what's wrong with Da Lang? I've learned from you. You can't do anything right when you're not right. You weren't much better when you were young.
…”
Li Xian patted his chopsticks: "Look how much you dote on him..."
"I'm not spoiled by you. In the past, you locked him in the study all day long to study, and I didn't say a word. Later, whether it was a blind date with Miss Qin or something else, your arrangements for Da Lang, when did I
Don't agree?
"Now that the child is like this, you still say that I am used to it. Qi Lang, think carefully about whose fault it is. No matter how big Lang is not, you can't put all the blame on him. Besides, he hasn't made any mistakes yet. You are worried and afraid.
.
"Now that he is outside, except for Tanlang to take care of him, you don't even ask a question. Can you not ask? I can't do it. We are more prominent now, but aren't we still the same family as Longcheng? What's the difference?
, no different from ordinary people, can they become ruthless...
"They say that my mother is worried when she travels thousands of miles away. After all, it is a piece of meat that fell off my body. Qilang, you don't feel bad, I feel sad."
Li Xian choked and blushed.
"Isn't this king doing this for his own good? What you said, Ms. Mei, is a sin..."
Li Baoer twisted another piece of pastry, bent down and placed it at his feet, lowering his eyes as a reminder:
"Sister Xie and Mr. Ouyang still need to eat."
The couple immediately became quiet, turned their heads and ate in silence.
Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang buried their heads in eating, pretending not to hear.
Wei Mei stood up and walked out. After a while, she returned from the kitchen and personally brought a new bowl of broth. She stood at the table and silently scooped a bowl for Ouyang Rong, Li Bao'er and Xie Lingjiang.
There is even a small bowl on the carpet of the flower hall, which is sneaking around like some kind of parkour.
There was nothing on the table in front of Li Xian.
I saw some kind of fart running back.
"Gulu gulu..."
It had its kitten face buried in a soup bowl on the carpet, its butt facing the crowd, and its fluffy white-haired tail swung from side to side.
The sound of drinking soup is a bit loud.
Li Xian looked at Youzhong and then at his empty bowl.
Li Bao'er lowered the corners of her mouth, stood up, and served a bowl to her stern-faced old father.
Ouyang Rong, who was immersed in eating, stretched out his foot under the table and gently kicked the stupid cat away... The new name is really correct. You are really smart. You are not afraid of eating this meal and not finishing it? One meal, too much
Dinner, choose a meal?
"Tan Lang, among the Kuang Fu Army rebels you just mentioned, there is a man named Du Shuqing. Are you familiar with him?"
When Ouyang Rong heard this, his movements paused and he couldn't help but sigh. Why did everyone ask him if he was familiar with him? It seemed like he was also a rebel... Wait, but the owner of Die Lianhua seemed to be a recognized associate of the rebels.
Together with the little lady Zhishuang, it hangs at the gate of almost every city in Jiangnan Road.
"I've seen it before." Ouyang Rong was curious: "Why does the princess ask this?"
"Yesterday, a letter came from my mother's side in Luoyang. My father mentioned this matter, and I just remembered that when he was a child, I even went to Du's house to hug him."
Wei Mei sighed, as if she was feeling sad:
"You said this boy from the Du family doesn't want a good future, so why does he do such a rebellious thing? Well, I'm not worth it for him."
Xie Lingjiang praised softly:
"Putting aside the stance, the descendants of the Du family in Jingzhao do dare to be the first, and they can be regarded as men."
Ouyang Rongduo glanced at Wei Mei.
This aunt's family background is not simple either, Jingzhao Webster.
The Wei and Du families in Chang'an were both famous Guanlong clans, and their ancestors were the princes of Jingzhao County... It can be understood that their ancestors entered the original stock market when they founded the country with Sui Qian, and their roots were well established.
If compared with Qi Wang of the fifth surname... let's understand it this way. In the eyes of the Li family, Qi Wang of the fifth surname is still an outsider no matter how powerful he is. He must be suppressed and not allowed to be so awesome, while Chang'an Weidu is his own family.
The two families are indeed prosperous in terms of talents, not only in Sui Gan. In the previous Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wei Du's children have served as generals and prime ministers in all dynasties. For example, in the current Zhou Dynasty, there is a prime minister named Wei in the political hall.
Moreover, the Weidu family has been related by marriage for generations.
People in the world like to say, you are so powerful, why don't you go to heaven?
Chang'an Weidu has indeed almost reached the sky. There is a nursery rhyme in Chang'an city singing "Weidu in the south of the city, go to the sky and five feet", and it is only one and a half feet above the sky.
It is not unreasonable for Wei Mei to marry Li Xian, the former crown prince of Da Qian, even if her natal family is tough enough and Li Xian has strict control over his wife.
Therefore, according to the marriage relationship, Wei Mei and Du Shuqing are really relatives.
No one talked much about Du Shuqing, after all, he was a rebel now.
In fact, Wei Mei was not familiar with her nephew, and the Xunyang Palace was not completely safe yet, so it was impossible to say anything for Du Shuqing in front of Ouyang Rong.
Ouyang Rong's mind flashed to the lonely orchids swaying in the wind on the window sill of the Meilin courtyard.
Soon, tonight's royal family banquet ended in a dull manner.
…
Ouyang Rong was sent out of Xunyang Prince's Mansion by Xie Lingjiang.
Ouyang Rong boarded the carriage.
He pondered for a moment:
"Go to Xingzifang."
"Yes, sir."
Ali responded and the carriage started.
Yesterday morning, Rong Zhen and Qin Yanqing called him to Jiuzhou Prison to deal with the matter of the arrested hero Zheng Jun. During the day, Ouyang Rong cooperated with Rong Zhen and spent a busy day inside and outside the city.
In the evening, Ouyang Rong rushed to Xunyang Prince's Mansion for dinner and did not visit Xingzifang as usual.
If he didn't go there for a day, he always felt that something was missing. There was indeed an important person there and he needed to keep an eye on him.
There was a curfew at night, especially today, which was particularly strict. However, as the governor of Jiangzhou, Ouyang Rong had a document of "walking at night", and the journey was smooth and he arrived at Chengtian Temple.
When we arrived at Yuan Huaimin's courtyard, Yuan Huaimin was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Brother Yuan?"
Ouyang Rong asked Li Yu, who was sitting blankly in the yard.
"Yuan Changshi said that there is a banquet over there in Xunyang Tower, and everyone who plays Pipa, which he likes, will be on stage. We can't live without him in Xunyang Tower tonight. Let me rest early and leave a door for him."
"Have you eaten outside, Mr. Li?"
Li Yu shook his head.
"Let's go."
Ouyang Rong waved his hand and took the lead to go out.
"Where are you going, Mr. Ouyang?"
"Zhaiyuan. It should not be closed yet."
Li Yu followed silently.
When we arrived at the Zhaiyuan, it was almost closing time. The monk looked impatient at first, but when he saw Ouyang Rong, he quickly ran to the kitchen to serve rice and dishes.
Ouyang Rong only filled a small bowl of rice porridge and ate it with Li Yu.
During this period, he looked around the restaurant. If he remembered correctly, Xiu Niang often came to eat when he was away.
Ouyang Rong's expression remained as usual.
During the dinner, Li Yu looked up from time to time to glance at the young Jiangzhou governor who was accompanying him to dinner.
After the meal, the two of them left the courtyard.
On the way back, I passed by the lake and took a walk.
Ouyang Rong asked without looking back:
"Brother Huaimin should have invited Mr. Li to go with him. Why don't you go and eat?"
Li Yu became serious: "How can you run to a place like that if you are wearing a sinful body?"
Ouyang Rong was noncommittal.
At this time, there was a family living in the guest house ahead. A fat child ran out of the door and squatted by the lake, playing in the water.
An adult walked out of the door and picked up the fat kid. On the way, he turned around and said to the struggling naughty child: "There is a big dragon in the water. Just make it. If you don't come home at night, it will eat it later."
The child with a runny nose suddenly became frightened, calmed down, and was taken home...
Ouyang Rong smiled as he passed by with his hands behind his back.
Li Yu turned his head and suddenly asked: "When Ouyang Changshi was a child, did he believe that there were giant dragons in the bottomless water?"
"Big dragon? What do you mean?"
"Even when I was a child, did any elders tell me that there are man-eating dragons in the water, and told you not to go near the water, and don't go out naughtily after dark..."
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "That's not true, but what we say there is that there is a water monkey in the water, which will drag people into the water and act as a scapegoat, and then it can be reincarnated."
"Haha, actually they are all the same, they are all bluffing things." Li Yu smiled happily.
"The grassroots were very naughty when they were young. They were not afraid of anything. There was an elder in the family who always told us in a serious way that there were big and ferocious dragons in the water. The grassroots and the children around them were extremely afraid. When they grew up, they returned home.
Thinking about it too much, let’s not forget that this trick of the elders is really useful. It has been tried and tested, and it can make the imaginary naughty boy obedient. Hahaha. Later, Xiao Shu was also naughty. When she saw the pool, she liked to squat on the shore and throw stones to test.
She was not honest when sleeping at night, running from one wing to another. Later, the common people thought of this trick and used giant dragons to frighten her, one by one..."
Ouyang Rong suddenly remembered something and said casually: "Fighting with the evil dragon for too long, this body will turn into an evil dragon."
Li Yu suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Rong glanced at his face.
"It's okay, I think of Xiao Shu." Li Yu shook his head.
Ouyang Rong said nothing more and continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.
Not long after, the two returned to the yard. Seeing that the night was already dark, Ouyang Rong said goodbye directly and strode out.
Li Yu looked at the handsome young man's back with a blank expression as he left with his hands behind his back. He followed Ouyang Rong back silently, and was ready for him to torture him into the palace, but everything turned out to be calm...
After going out and walking a long way, Ouyang Rong looked back.
In the courtyard with the open door in the distance, the figure of the slightly fat officer was still sitting alone, in the same posture as when he came.
Ouyang Rong shook his head. At this moment, a crisp sound of wooden fish sounded in his ears.
He pursed his lips.
Returning to the carriage, Ouyang Rong immediately closed his eyes and entered the Tower of Merit.
[Merits: Three thousand six hundred and seventy-one]
From the time he rescued Li Yu to now, Ouyang Rong's merit points have probably increased by about 400.
He sighed softly.
Ouyang Rong indeed had no trap for Li Yu, nor did he seek his merits.
However, if it can increase the merits of the little wooden fish, it means that the person is a grateful and loyal person.
The quiet courtyard is not far from Chengtian Temple, and it took Ouyang Rong about two-quarters of an hour to get to the door.
There were lights in the courtyard. He walked in and saw that the hall was empty, with only lights and no one around.
He quickly entered the hospital and took a closer look. The food on the table was cold.
"Xiu Niang, Xiu Niang?"
Ouyang Rong shouted, but no one answered.
The beating heart in his chest suddenly dropped, and he turned around and ran out to call someone.
"ah……"
At this time, a weak voice came from the dark bedroom.
People are still there.
Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned, why didn't he say anything, just like Xiao Transparent, Xiu Niang, what kind of Qigong method is this?
He ran into the bedroom and took a look. It was dark and the embroiderer was sitting alone on the bed, holding the quilt in her hands.
There was no ribbon on her little face, and she was looking ahead in the darkness.
"What's wrong?"
Ouyang Rong approached with concern.
But when he saw some residual tears on her little face, Ouyang Rong was immediately in a hurry:
"Why are you crying again...I, I have something to do today, so I came a little late."
Zhao Qingxiu shook her head, grabbed his hand, closed her eyes and wrote:
[I’m not blaming you, it’s just that I had a dream]
"Dream? What dream?"
Zhao Qingxiu only wore a cool, light blue bellyband, lowered her head, and wrote seriously on the palm of Ouyang Rong's hand.
[It’s a nightmare, it’s okay. I dream about it often and I’m not too scared anymore]
Ouyang Rong comforted in a loud voice:
"If you're not afraid, why are you still crying? It's okay, you can tell me..."
Zhao Qingxiu retracted her hand, hugged her knees with both hands, buried her face deeply, and stopped writing.
Ouyang Rong sat cross-legged aside, staring at her and saying nothing.
