When Miao Xin saw Hua Nianping standing in the main hall of the Nvwa Empress Temple, his thoughtful look was really elegant and natural, without any vulgarity. When she saw it so clearly, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
Blushed.
She is a woman with a pure heart who observes. She has been involved in Taoism since she was a child. Today, her thoughts are stirred up by a young and strange man. Although it is only a slight ripple, this is the first time in her adult life. At the moment, she secretly blames herself: "Sin! Sin!"
In fact, from the first moment Miao Xin saw Hua Nianping, she could tell that he was very scheming and that there was unspeakable melancholy and worry between his brows.
Although this person's clothes are shabby, his hair is disheveled, and his eyes are confused, he can't hide his calm nature; even this calm temperament almost reaches a kind of cruel indifference.
But behind this coldness, Miaoxin seemed to have discovered the wisdom and determination of another man from the depths of his eyes, and revealed a kind of loneliness and arrogance.
"It is expected that he is definitely not an ordinary person. He must be a man of talent, wisdom, benevolence, justice and virtue. I am a monk and Taoist, so naturally I cannot have any thoughts about men and women with him. But looking at all living beings today, I can recognize such a kind and good relationship.
Life is really not easy, and such an opportunity is rare, so why not be friends!"
When Taoist Sister Miaoxin thought of this, she felt at ease.
The two of them came out of the main hall. Miao Xin used Taoist etiquette and whispered to Hua Nianping, "Wu Liang Guan!" and then said: "Miao Xin deliberately invites Mr. Xiong to go to Shexia Zhaitang to taste tea. I wonder if Mr. Xiong appreciates Kun Dao!"
"
The "Kun Dao" she refers to is the Taoist nun's humble name for her family.
"Thanks to the Taoist Priest for your kindness," Hua Nianping said politely, "Then I won't bother you!"
He saw that although Miao Xin was a Taoist, wherever the two of them went in the afternoon, they could quote scriptures and talk about the scenery. It was obvious that they had a deep research on the history and culture of this place, so he admired her from the bottom of his heart.
Qinfangzhai, where Miaoxin lives, is located in a small courtyard in a quiet part of the back hall of the temple. At this time, the setting sun is shining, and the courtyard is as bright as the spring in the morning. There are strange rocks and exotic grasses, fragrant peach trees, and a light mist on the ground.
Teng, the stream gurgling.
Hua Nianping was stunned, as if he was in a fairyland.
He thought to himself: "If I can spend my whole life in such a paradise, feeling relaxed and happy, and getting rid of the endless troubles of the world, how can I worry about who I am?"
Entering the house, the room is elegant and pleasant, with fragrance overflowing. Several pots of hylliums placed in the house are blooming.
"I didn't expect that this Taoist nun is also a lover of orchids!"
Hua Nianping couldn't help but feel a little closer to Miaoxin.
He walked up to the orchids and stopped to admire them.
"Orchids are not produced here in Hebei. These cymbidiums have fragrant blooms, strange tongue flaps, and are very rare varieties. They are probably introduced from the south, right?"
Hua Nianping couldn't help but praise Miaoxin.
"Mr. Xiong turns out to have done research on orchids!" Miao Xin said happily, "You are right. I have been here in Jiuwei Mountain for many years and have not picked a single bouquet of orchids. My second senior sister Miaoyu was originally the abbot of Taisu Shangqing Palace in Qiyun Mountain.
When she was alive, she asked someone to bring some cymbidiums to me from Tianzhu Mountain there, and now they bloom and divide the plants every year, giving birth to many pots."
Hua Nianping immediately thought of the "Mandarin Duck and Two Butterflies" orchid that Lin Sirer liked. They had divided it into many pots over the years. Unfortunately, the pot placed in front of her hospital bed actually passed away with Lin Sirer.
The moment it ends, it immediately withers and dies.
Miao Xin brewed a cup of tea and presented it to Hua Nianping.
She smiled brightly and said that she picked this tea by herself on the mountain and never showed it to others easily. Even in her Qinfangzhai, she had never received a man, let alone sat down and tasted tea.
Hua Nianping spent the entire afternoon immersed in Miao Xin's narrations of scenic spots and historical legends. He never took a direct look at the young Taoist nun. Now when he looked carefully, he saw that she had a thin hair in her hair.
She has a jade hairpin, a white neck, and jade-like fingers, and she has a vague aura of a fairy.
What made his heart tremble even more was that the sunlight poured on Miao Xin's face, reflecting her straight nose bones, plump lips, and a few tiny freckles on both sides of her nose. This soft and tranquil expression was in harmony with her.
He missed Lin Sirer emotionally for the first time that autumn, and it was no different when he peeked at her in the classroom.
Moreover, Miao Xin's face made him feel slightly familiar.
"There is such a wonderful thing in the world!" Hua Nian thought in his spare time, "If this wonderful heart is Lin Sir's reincarnation, and she and I stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and enjoy the tranquility here all day long, wouldn't we be as happy as gods?
generally!"
Miao Xin's face turned hot when Hua Nianping saw her, and her heart beat fiercely. She thought to herself: "He stared at me with such deep affection. I really did not misjudge him. He is a kind and righteous man. He is just a monk."
The rules are strict and the thoughts of greed are punished, so how can I let my mind wander and not be quiet?"
Then she danced with her fly whisk, as if all the dirty thoughts were swept away from her heart.
It was this sudden move that made Hua Nianping come back to his senses and quickly remove the stupid look from Miaoxin's face.
He thought that Taoist Aunt Miaoxin was an out-of-this-world woman. Even if he could not forget Lin Si'er, he should not turn his thoughts to her. She was invited to drink tea with good intentions, but he had unreasonable thoughts and blasphemed her purity. In fact,
Ashamed.
"Wu Liang Guan!" Miao Xin seemed to sense Hua Nianping's uneasy mood. She smiled and said, "I haven't asked Mr. Xiong's name yet. Where can I go?"
"I..." Hua Nianping was quite hesitant. He actually wanted to tell Miaoxin everything that had happened to him in the past few days, but he was very wary of having just met her for the first time. First, he was afraid of being frightened.
The other party, secondly, even if she says it, she may not be able to believe it.
"What?" Miao Xin saw that Hua Nianping was still silent, so she laughed again and said, "Mr. Xiong refuses to say, shouldn't Kun Dao ask him rashly?"
"My dear, Xiong Jiandong... used to serve in the Marine Corps. He has been discharged from the army for several months and has not yet found a suitable job to do. Right now... he is still wandering around." Hua Nianping answered thoughtfully.
"It turns out that he is from the special forces. No wonder Brother Zhang's two men are no match for him!"
But it was the fight at noon, and Miao Xin was there to watch it.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist nun actually knew about special forces? Hua Nianping looked at Miao Xin in surprise.
Miao Xin seemed to have read through Hua Nianping's thoughts and glanced towards the inner room. It turned out that in front of the window sill, in addition to the four treasures of the study, there was also a laptop computer. Nowadays, network technology is developed, and monks and Taoist priests cannot keep up with the information age.
Strange.
There are two rooms in Qinfangzhai where Miaoxin lives, one is the living room, and the other is also used as a bedroom and study room. Hua Nianping saw banners on the four walls, most of which read "The best is like water", "
Taoist classics such as "Wuji" and "Wuwei" were all inscribed by Miao Xin.
He especially noticed that there were two long swords hanging diagonally on a side wall.
But it turned out that Taoist Aunt Miaoxin was actually good at both civil and military skills, and Hua Nianping suddenly felt a sense of respect in his heart.
At this time, Dan Miaoxin stood up and took the two long swords on the wall, and said to Hua Nianping: "This pair of mandarin duck swords were given by my master. It is said that they are relics collected by Mr. Tan Sitong in the late Qing Dynasty. Mr. Xiong has seen the world.
,Kundao, can I ask you to do a tasting?"
"Tan Sitong was one of the Seven Gentlemen of the time. Since this pair of swords were once used by him, they must be very precious."
Hua Nianping took the sword and felt it was very heavy in his hand. He said bluntly: "But to be honest, I really don't know anything about swordsmanship!"
