Chapter 108 Finally Knowing Where
How does it feel...
Is Xu a heartless man?
Xiao Linyuan was shocked by his own thoughts.
But the next moment, Sang Huan's actions directly confirmed his guess.
Sang Huan walked up to Xu step by step, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Follow me."
Xu lowered her head and was silent for a while before turning around and following Sang Huan.
Everyone in the yard was stunned.
Including the old princess who was hiding behind a pillar and observing secretly.
As Sang Huan was about to leave the palace, Xu Zihan suddenly remembered that he had something to do. "Wait a moment!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran back.
Sang Huan strode over and grabbed her hand, furious. "Ten years ago, you disliked my youth and refused to marry me. Now I'm thirty-five, not young anymore, and you still don't like me? The guards are all twenty-year-olds, how could they be any older than me!"
Butler Li silently covered his ears, wishing he was deaf at the moment.
Xu touched Sang Huan's still handsome face and said soothingly, "I'm not going to replace the bodyguards, I just have news about Zijin to tell the prince."
“…”
Sang Huan let go of her, his face flushed, "Then, then go quickly and come back soon."
Xiao Linyuan was just about to leave the house, and Xu saw him again after taking a few steps.
"Your Highness, Zijin said she wants to go to a place full of Epiphyllums. You can check where there are the most Epiphyllums."
Xiao Linyuan paused, a huge joy welling up in his heart, "Really?"
"Well, at the time, I wanted to leave her in my spicy hot pot restaurant. I didn't want her to wander around alone. But she said she wanted to find a place where there were night-blooming cereus everywhere, so she could see them bloom with her own eyes."
"Thank you!" Xiao Linyuan was very excited and turned to go to the study.
According to Lady Liu, Zijin wanted to go to the south and find a place where it was spring all year round.
Combined with Xu's statement, the target can be narrowed down to the territory of Xingzhou.
There was no relevant introduction in the map, so Xiao Linyuan personally searched various geographical records of Dali and finally found a clue in a travelogue -
Tan County!
He frowned and took out a purse from his chest. Inside the purse was a letter Song Zijin left for him.
He unfolded the letter with trembling fingers, his eyes falling on one of the sentences: a flash in the pan.
My knees felt weak instantly and my Adam's apple rolled three times before it calmed down.
So, she actually left clues at the very beginning!
He was too stupid to have thought of it.
"Wang Ge, Wang Ge!" Xiao Linyuan shouted excitedly.
"Your Majesty!"
"Pack your luggage and set off this afternoon. I will go to Tan County myself!"
Wang Ge had never heard of such a place, but now all the manpower had been sent to Xingzhou, so it must be within Xingzhou.
"Your Highness will not be attending the Qiyun Monastery's Golden Body Restoration Ceremony in an hour?"
Xiao Linyuan clasped his hands together, only in this way could he ease the trembling of his arms.
"Go, go, I'm going. Please prepare another 1,000 taels of silver as incense money!" He paced back and forth uncontrollably.
But I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart.
The old princess knocked on the door and walked in.
When Xiao Linyuan saw her, he excitedly went forward and hugged her.
"Mother, I know Zijin's whereabouts! I finally found her. It's great, it's really great..."
The old princess felt unhappy. It turned out that he had forgotten his mother after marrying a wife. Now that he had found a wife, he had forgotten all grudges with her and smiled away.
Her neck and shoulders were a little wet. She patted Xiao Linyuan's back, pushed him away, and saw her eight-foot-tall son, the god of war, with tears streaming down his face.
Like an abandoned big dog, he was choked with sobs and unable to speak.
She quickly hugged him again and kept patting his back, just like when they were little.
"This shows that there is a destiny between you. Master Huiji helped you, and now Madam Liu and Mrs. Xu are also helping you. With so many noble people, you and Zijin can't go wrong."
The grievance that Xiao Linyuan had suppressed for three months burst out at this moment and he burst into tears.
The old princess was also taken with him and shed silent tears.
"Now the truth has been revealed. The people of the capital city have realized their mistakes and are blessing you. You are a couple that the whole world blesses. Good children, don't delay and set off quickly! Mother will be waiting for you at the palace."
…
Qiyun Zen Temple.
Upon hearing that the Regent was going to use his private property to reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue, many Buddhists in the capital came to the Zen temple to join in the fun.
The entire road up the mountain was blocked.
In the long sea of people, a man in black brocade clothes knelt down step by step, starting from the first step at the foot of the mountain.
"Why is the Regent kneeling?" someone who didn't understand asked the person next to him.
"I heard that if you kneel down on the four hundred and ninety-nine steps, the Buddha will bless you and make your wishes come true!"
"The prince must be praying for the prosperity of the country of Dali!"
"What? The end of the stairs is the Three Lives Stone. The prince is clearly seeking marriage!"
The unmarried girl Yunying was filled with envy: "The prince must be praying to the Buddha for blessings, so that Miss Song can return to him soon, right?"
Everyone was talking at once, but Xiao Linyuan turned a deaf ear.
He climbed each step with undivided attention, fearing that he would anger the gods.
By the end of the knock, his forehead was covered in blood. Chunsheng handed him a handkerchief, but Xiao Linyuan didn't take it.
He took out a dagger and carved his and Zijin's names on the back of the San Sheng Stone.
Master Huiji stood at the door, clasping his hands together, "Amitabha, benefactor, please stop daydreaming. If you're any later, you'll miss the auspicious time!"
Xiao Linyuan bowed to Master Huiji before following him to the main hall.
"Thank you, Master, for reading Zijin's fortune a year ago. Now she can be reborn."
"Is it because of that girl that the donor believes in Buddhism?"
Xiao Linyuan nodded shyly.
Huiji shook his head and laughed, then took him all the way to the main hall.
It was almost noon, but the Qiyun Temple was still shrouded in clouds and mist.
Xiao Linyuan took off his python-patterned brocade robe and knelt in front of a Buddha statue whose fading was not very noticeable, wearing only a plain white garment.
The young monk brought out a copper basin, which contained a special protective lacquer to prevent the gold foil from falling off and fading.
"Donor, please come in." Master Huiji said.
Xiao Linyuan picked up the brush, dipped some protective paint on it, and applied it carefully along the evenly coated gold foil paper.
"It takes nine layers of gold foil to reveal its precious appearance, so more lacquer needs to be applied. It won't be finished in two hours, so please take your time."
Xiao Linyuan paused, "So long?"
He still has to go to Tan County!
Master Huiji said profoundly, "You didn't believe in Buddhism before, so you don't understand these things. I don't blame you for being rude. Spend two hours with the Buddha statue. The Buddha, out of compassion, will tie a red thread between you and Miss Song for nine lifetimes, entwining them into a knot of love for generations to come. So hurry and do it well."
After saying this, he slowly walked out of the hall.
Xiao Linyuan glanced at the Buddha statue. Ninth generation?
He suddenly gained strength and attacked with both hands.
