Looking at their backs, Leng Yu couldn't help but sigh,

"I don't know when we'll see each other again, I just hope they can be happy!"

Luo Lan glanced at him and nodded in response.

"Yes, in this life, people always have to face separation and reunion. I believe that this trip to Daning Kingdom will leave a deep impression on them and will also allow them to gain something."

Leng Yu looked back at her and smiled softly.

"Everything they have gained is from you. They know that doing good things will bring good rewards, and I believe they will be kind to others in the future."

Luo Lan smiled, then took his arm,

"Let's go! Back to the Yangxin Palace..."

He leaned over and whispered in her ear,

"What are you going back for?"

"what you up to?"

"We're going to Mount Wutai the day after tomorrow. Once we're in this sacred Buddhist land, we'll definitely need to be pure and abstain from desire for a while. Why not give my husband some nourishment in advance?"

His words made her blush.

She pinched his arm hard, "Hiss!"

He grimaced in pain.

This scene made Ah Hong and Ah Cai, who were following behind them, smile. Qin Shun also coughed lightly, and then slowed down his pace tactfully.

April 1st

Today is the day we go to Mount Wutai. The reason we set out early is to create ample time for Luo Xue and Leng Ming to communicate.

The Emperor and the Empress left the palace to pray for the people. According to the etiquette regulations of the Ministry of Rites, the people of the entire city should watch and see them off along the ten-mile-long street.

However, Luo Lan specifically instructed in advance that when traveling at this time, one should not disturb others, nor should one disturb the people and officials along the way, and it is best to travel in simple clothing.

But even so, local officials in Mount Wutai had already arranged for the monks in Mount Wutai to prepare for the reception.

Knowing that Leng Yu was coming, Leng Ming suddenly became anxious. He didn't want to tell anyone about his visit to Mount Wutai, and he didn't ask his mother how she knew.

The emperor will be here tomorrow, and Liu Luolan will definitely come with him. If Luo Xue knew that I was a monk here, she would definitely hate me and look down on me.

Thinking of this, he prepared to pack his bags and leave here temporarily.

At this moment, there was a series of knocks on the door, and he hurried over to open it.

"Amitabha!"

The moment the door opened, the host recited a Buddhist scripture, and he immediately returned the greeting.

The host walked into his room and saw him preparing to pack up his things. He asked in surprise,

"Where are you going?"

"Master, I...I have something to do these days, I want to...I want to leave for a while."

"Are you trying to escape?"

The host's question made Leng Ming stunned for a moment, and then he mumbled and lowered his head.

The host looked at him seriously.

"Calm your mind. If you truly wish to become a monk, don't be bothered by mundane matters. If you want to escape because of some people or things, it only means that you haven't yet resolved your worldly desires and cut off your worldly ties."

"Master, that's not the case. I've made up my mind and am determined to become a monk."

"Since that's the case, then face it calmly! You can escape for a while, but can you escape forever? You have to think carefully. If you leave, don't come back. Mount Wutai will not pay attention to those who are not sincere. Amitabha!"

After leaving these words, the host looked at him seriously and walked out the door.

Leng Ming stood there in a daze. Could the host's words be true? Was his earthly ties truly over? Was his mortal desire truly still alive? But before coming to Mount Wutai, he had already made a firm decision.

Thinking of the past, he made up his mind again. Just as the abbot said, no matter who came, no one could stop his determination to devote himself to Buddhism. He decided to take the Buddhist name Jingxin.

Thinking of this, he shook out the packed bag, took out the things inside and rearranged them, then went out and continued to clean the courtyard. Occasionally, he went to the main hall to listen to the monks chanting. No one was making noise in his ears, and no one forced him anymore. This kind of life made him feel very quiet and comfortable.

At this moment, the little monk came running over.

"Junior Brother Jingxin, there's a woman outside looking for you, saying she's your mother."

He was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

"Please tell her, Senior Brother, that no matter how many times she comes, I won't see her. Tell her not to come again."

"But...but Master said that your earthly ties are not over yet, so you should go and see him!"

"It's gone. Come back!"

The little monk glanced at him, then turned and walked towards the gate.

Chang has been wandering around Mount Wutai for the past two days, but he was driven away by officials again and again and had no chance to go up the mountain.

Today, she managed to sneak up the mountain while the official turned around, thinking of telling him that Leng Yu was coming and persuading him to go back with her.

But what he got was the little monk's ruthless reply.

"Junior Brother Jingxin said he doesn't want to see you, please go back!"

Hearing this, Chang immediately became anxious.

"He can't see me. I'm his mother. I have to go see him."

As she was speaking, she was about to force her way in. The little monk took two steps back and scolded her.

"Please stay, benefactor. This is a sacred Buddhist place and no one is allowed to desecrate it. If you try to break in, don't blame me for calling someone out."

The little monk's words made Chang stunned for a moment. She also realized that if she forced her way in, it would definitely cause Ming'er's disgust, and then Ming'er would be even less willing to see her.

Anyway, Leng Yu will be here tomorrow. Then, she will go to the emperor to file a complaint. The emperor can't just ignore this matter!

Thinking of this, she made up her mind and walked down the mountain.

As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she was stopped by two officials.
