"What are you afraid of? Even so. If dad goes to the border, we will be safe. Because the emperor will only think that that force has gone with dad. If something happens to us, if dad makes some noise at the border, it will be safe."
What should we do, right?”
Ling Xinqin had never heard of this in her past.
Still so straightforward.
His whole face changed, and he murmured, "What...what kind of power..."
Ling Ruolan said calmly and calmly as always, "Who knows, dad never told me."
Ling Xinqin was frightened, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, "Then...will this power be passed to the ninth brother in the end..."
Ling Ruolan laughed meaningfully, "How could it be? Ninth brother is a son, the only son. Passing it to him may help him meet his grandparents faster. Dad may pass it to someone unexpected.
Let others guess it. In this way, when others cannot accurately guess who it is passed to, they still have to worry about it, and everyone in the General's Mansion will be safe."
Her calm words made Ling Xinqin's heart beat violently.
If there was anything unexpected, it definitely couldn't be the person in front of me, nor Ling Jing, Ling Duan Nian, nor Ling Xue'er, the only one left in the General's Mansion.
I can only choose among the few remaining ones...
Then can she...
With the passionate ambition that cannot be concealed in her eyes, if she has this power and helps her husband ascend to the throne, then she will be the most noble woman in the world!
Ling Ruolan only had two words in her heart, idiot.
Then he thought of another person, Ling Jing, who was also an idiot.
How could she, Ling Ruolan, lose to such an idiot?
Gohoji Temple is not outside Kyoto, but it is not close either.
After leaving the city, we walked southeast, which was nearly a day's journey.
When it got dark, the group from Ling Mansion finally arrived at the foot of Wufang Temple Mountain.
Just rest at the foot of the mountain and climb up the mountain after dawn the next day.
Yes, the last road to Wufang Temple must be climbed on two legs.
Not to mention a carriage, even a horse.
Although there are stone steps up the mountain, the stone steps in the shade of trees are covered with slippery moss, and the slope is not gentle enough, making it very dangerous to ride a horse.
This time they went out without even a maid or servant other than a bodyguard, and many Princess Ling complained in their hearts. Although they also practiced martial arts, they had never done this kind of mountain climbing!
Baili Feiyue took a look and had to say that it was not unreasonable for her father to believe in Li for so many years.
Mr. Li has indeed done a good job in this honorable life. If nothing else, just coming to burn incense and worshiping his grandparents every year and walking up and down the stairs will make him, his father, very moved.
A small number of people were left below to guard the carriage and other items. Most of the guards brought the items for worship and a small amount of things that Ling Sheng and others needed, and the group began to go up the mountain.
Due to Ling Duannian's physical condition, Ling Sheng specifically asked Baili Feiyue.
"It's okay, Dad, Ninth Brother just looks worse than before. I checked him carefully in the carriage yesterday, and there are no other problems. It will only be good for his health if he walks more, not bad."
Ling Sheng nodded, "The road is slippery, be careful."
"Okay, Dad, please walk slower."
After Ling Sheng started to go up the mountain, Ling Duannian looked at Baili Feiyue with great resentment and meowed, "Sister, you are deliberately trying to tease me."
"Hey, Ninth Brother, you really think too much. I'm telling the truth." She was very innocent.
Then he who was in a good mood followed him.
The mountain road is not a problem for Ling Ruolan, a person who comes here once a year and is in good physical condition, and can also be used to wielding swords and guns.
But others, such as Ling Xinqin, don't have it so easy.
The whole mountain climbing is because we have to wait for each other.
I climbed straight from the morning until the sun set in the west, and then I saw the temple with the three characters "Wufang Temple" hanging on it.
At this time, the clouds are steaming, the sunset dyes half of the sky red, the ancient trees are lush, the temples are simple and solemn, and the fragrance of Buddha is faint.
A truly wonderful place to escape from the world and meditate.
However, most Miss Ling only has more air coming out and less air coming in.
This temple is too remote and secluded. Apart from their group, there is no one else there today.
There was no rule about worshiping at night, so the temple arranged for them to stay and rest.
After Baili Feiyue washed up, she, Ling Sheng, Ling Duan Nian, Ling Ruolan and others ate vegetarian food together under the arrangement of the master in the temple. After the other Miss Ling washed up, they lay down without moving their fingers.
The next day, after getting up early in the morning and taking a shower and changing clothes, Ling Sheng took his whole family to the back of the temple to sweep the tombs of his parents and burn incense.
There is no distinction between direct concubines and concubines. They are ranked according to their age.
Baili Feiyue lined up behind Ling Ruolan. After offering incense and kowtow to her grandparents, whom she had never met before, according to the rules, Baili Feiyue looked around the cemetery.
I arrived too late yesterday and didn't see it. Now I took a look and found that behind the Wufang Temple were actually higher rolling mountains, and there was a thick fog lingering above.
The visibility was only 20 to 30 feet away, and it was so foggy that I couldn't see anything clearly and I was blinded.
Before leaving immediately after offering incense, Ling Sheng took them to clean up the weeds around the tomb.
He stood quietly for a while, until it was time for lunch, and then he took them back to the temple.
There are not many monks in this Wufang Temple, including the abbot, about twenty monks.
After finishing lunch together, everyone went back to the meditation room arranged by Miss Ling to rest. Ling Sheng and the abbot talked about Buddhism and Taoism together.
Baili Feiyue also returned to her meditation room and slept.
In a place like this, time seems to stand still.
After finishing the fasting meal in the evening, many Princess Ling couldn't bear it even if they were going down the mountain tomorrow morning.
Such days are too boring!
After eating, we started walking around the temple together.
"Dear donors, it's getting late, the terrain around the temple is complicated, and there are wild animals. Don't go too far."
"Don't worry, Master, we will take a walk nearby."
The young monk nodded, turned around and left without saying much.
Baili Feiyue, who was playing chess with Ling Duannian under the big banyan tree, glanced at the leaving monk from the corner of her eye and clicked her tongue.
Ling Duannian laughed, "What did Sister see?"
"These monks are all... masters..."
The steps fell lightly, and the breath was so steady that it was almost inaudible.
Ling Duannian thought again, "In such a remote temple, apart from meditation and daily farming, the only thing left to do is practice martial arts and keep fit."
…
That night.
Baili Feiyue went to bed in the afternoon and couldn't fall asleep now.
I turned over and was about to ponder the prescription, when suddenly I held my breath and concentrated my attention. There was movement?
After thinking for a moment, he quickly put on some clothes and quietly opened the door of the meditation room and stepped out silently.
At night, Wufang Temple is surrounded by tall ancient trees. Only the front of the temple and the main hall have weak light. The rest of the temple is dark, which makes people feel scalp-numbing.
Baili Feiyue sneaked over looking for movement, thinking it was something.
As a result, I saw a familiar figure quietly walking towards the dark and misty back mountain.
In a flash, Baili Feiyue patted the person on the shoulder, "What are you doing?"
"Sister!" The young man turned around, "You scared me to death."
Baili Feiyue let go of her hand and folded her arms lazily, "Really, do you have the courage to go to the back mountain at this time?"
"Sister, I just saw that my father was going to the back of the mountain..."
