Chapter 85 The Secret Pattern has a leaf, a sword, and a...
Chapter 85
"I thought...Ayue wouldn't believe in ghosts or gods." Lin Zhiyi teased softly.
Jing Yue also thought that he didn't believe it. In fact, when he came here last time as a "young master" to burn incense and fulfill his vows, he was just in awe of the gods and Buddhas in his heart, but he didn't worship or rely on them blindly.
Even though he had already exchanged bodies with Lin Zhiyi at that time.
——But he firmly believes that if you want to get something, it is useless to just pray to God. Only by working hard can you succeed.
But God couldn't stop overturning his cognition again and again.
He already felt guilty towards Wei Ying and Qin Xiao, and was also full of gratitude towards Lin Zhiyi. He had already decided that she was his life-saving straw.
I didn't expect that after just meeting Kong Nian once, he would accidentally hurt her with his divine power...
He really couldn't help but take the responsibility on himself.
It would have been better if I hadn’t rushed out to save Kong Nian at that time.
He should make protecting Pianpian his top priority.
Unexpectedly, he was protected by Pianpian again.
"Destiny... is sometimes difficult to defy," Lin Zhiyi said calmly. "But sometimes, under destiny, those born to meet the needs of the times are qualified to aspire to high positions. Destiny will shape their character, sharpen their will, and temper their spirit..."
She slowly uttered the words like a thunderclap, "Your Highness, you have a long and arduous journey ahead of you."
Jing Yue lowered her head in fear and sealed her arrogant words with her lips - fearing that she would be punished by heavenly thunder again.
Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.
The Heavenly Dao may be tired and too lazy to show its magical powers anymore.
In the quiet Zen room, the young man and woman who depend on each other kissed without any romantic touch...
It wasn't until the candlelight suddenly crackled that Jing Yue stepped back a little and whispered, "Don't say such things again..."
He doesn't care about destiny or important tasks...
Those are just empty and vague words.
Forgive him for being so focused at this moment that he can only care about her who is so close to him and can be held in his arms.
Lin Zhiyi no longer challenged fate. Her peach blossom eyes curved, revealing two lovely bags under her eyes, and she replied obediently, "Okay... I won't say anymore."
She raised her hand and gently touched Jing Yue's cheek, comforting his self-blame and guilt. "Don't say you're a jinx anymore. How could a jinx marry someone as good as me? Wei Ying and Qin Xiao's deaths were not your fault. It was the bad guys who targeted them, so..."
"I'll go with you to burn some incense for them tomorrow."
Jing Yue tilted her cheek slightly and rubbed it against her palm subconsciously, a gesture of seeking comfort: "Yeah."
A fierce look flashed in his cold phoenix eyes. One day, he would make Cheng Lunian pay the price.
…
Although Lin Zhiyi's head injury, particularly on the back of her head, was dangerous, her hair, tied up high, acted as a buffer, shielded her from the damage. Furthermore, Jing Yue's swift rescue, coupled with the precious medicine prepared by the imperial physicians, proved highly effective. Therefore, after a day and night of sleep, she felt much better.
But Jing Yue looked a little haggard because she had been taking care of her all day and night without sleep.
Lin Zhiyi asked him, "I feel much better. Do you want to take a nap?"
Jing Yue shook her head: "No need. I can't sleep now."
"Then let's go burn incense for Wei Ying and Qin Xiao," Lin Zhiyi said, "while there are no more pilgrims arriving."
"...your injury..."
"Check it out for yourself. I think it's healed."
"I'll hold you later, don't move around on your own."
"Sure, I'd love to."
"Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for being so weak that you were held horizontally by the princess?"
"I'm not afraid. What does it have to do with me? I don't live under the gazes and words of others." Lin Zhiyi said with a cheerful smile, "It's my honor to be favored by the princess."
She is proud of being a gigolo.
Jing Yue: “…”
Well, seeing her so frank, he did feel much better.
Jing Yue changed into a new set of plain moon-white clothes - after all, she was going to pay tribute to the deceased.
He helped Lin Zhiyi change into a white outfit with silver patterns, and then carried her out.
Tang Cong was quite shocked when he saw the princess carrying her husband yesterday. But when he saw her again today, the shock had subsided a lot. He walked over with a normal expression and asked, "Your Highness, where are you and your husband going?"
"Go to Huai'an Hall to burn incense."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Tang Cong winked at one of his guards, and the guard went to prepare.
He and Ji Feng led the other guards, half of them clearing the way and the other half escorting.
When we arrived at Huaian Hall, the guard had already prepared incense.
Jing Yue gently put Lin Zhiyi down. Lin Zhiyi still had a white gauze wrapped on his head, which was very appropriate.
It also looks like paying homage to the deceased.
The two of them each held three incense sticks and first paid tribute to Wei Ying.
Jing Yue silently said: "Wei Ying, you and I have known each other for a long time. If you are still alive, please take care of Pian Pian for the sake of our being a royal consort. I will do my best to avenge you and ensure the glory of the Wei family for the next hundred years."
Lin Zhiyi said inwardly: Brother Wei, you are my senior, I respectfully call you Brother Wei. A Yue has been thinking about your blood feud, please rest assured, I will lend him a helping hand and avenge you as soon as possible.
Then the two of them each took three incense sticks and offered sacrifices to Qin Xiao.
Jing Yue: Qin Xiao, Father has appeased Lord Qin, and he's indirectly avenged half of your vengeance. I'll find an opportunity to complete the other half later. If you're still alive, I hope you'll share Wei Ying's example and share a little of your divine power to protect Pian Pian. Thank you. I'll take good care of Lord and Madam Qin, so don't worry.
Lin Zhiyi: Qin Xiao, Second Brother Qin, I hope you and Big Brother Wei can get along well down there. I'll take good care of A-Yue. Also, if you're still alive, please bless A-Yue and me to succeed in our revenge.
Although the memorial service was just a ritual—a ritual to bring peace of mind—Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue didn't really care whether it was useful or not. However, with this memorial service, they could focus more on what they wanted to do.
Sincerity is the key to success.
This can also be regarded as a solemn farewell to the past.
After the worship was over, Jing Yue stood up first, carefully helped Lin Zhiyi up, carried her sideways, and went back to the side yard to rest.
This time, Jing Yue also dozed for more than an hour.
Before lunch, Kong Nian came again, but did not come in. He just handed a letter to Tang Cong outside the door.
Tang Cong presented it to Jing Yue, who opened it and examined it with Lin Zhiyi.
Kong Nian's letter was a farewell letter. He would travel around the world and would no longer stay in Tianlong Temple for long.
At the end of the letter, there were several incomprehensible patterns drawn, saying that these were key figures and helpers who would lend them a hand in the future.
There is a leaf, a sword, a bow, a bamboo slip, and a pair of... lips and tongue?
Jing Yue and Lin Zhiyi looked at each other, and both tacitly gave up trying to interpret what the pattern meant.
The secret of heaven must not be revealed. The pattern given by Kong Nian is a roundabout instruction. If it is accidentally interpreted correctly, the thunder from the sky may fall again...
Forget it.
It’s best if you don’t see it.
Jing Yue put the letter away and looked at Kong Nian through the door: "Master, do you have to leave?"
Kong Nian: "Amitabha, my mission here has been completed. It's time to do something meaningful."
Jing Yue stood up and bowed to him: "Then I wish the master a smooth journey."
"Thank you, Princess."
Lin Zhiyi stared at Kong Nian, who happened to look at her. When he realized he was being stared at, he quickly looked away.
I always feel that the prince consort is more dangerous...
Lin Zhiyi: "Master, do you have anything else to say to me?"
Kong Nian said, "No more. Your Majesty is blessed by heaven. I will always pray for you while I travel." After saying this, he clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and said quickly, "I will not disturb your Majesty's rest. Farewell."
Lin Zhiyi looked at his fleeing back and muttered: I'm not a monster... Is it really that serious?
Jing Yue was very satisfied with Kong Nian's automatic distancing.
This way, Pianpian won't be involved in any accidents.
The two stayed in Tianlong Temple for another night. Jingyue made sure that Lin Zhiyi's injuries were not serious before setting off to return to the princess's mansion.
After recuperating in the princess's mansion for three days, Lin Zhiyi took off the gauze on her head - she was going to see her master and second sister off. She couldn't let her family find out that she was injured, lest those who were leaving could not leave with peace of mind.
Gu Tingxuan and Lin Zhiqi rode on horseback with heroic spirit. After bidding farewell to their families, they led 300 soldiers transferred from the Lin family army and rushed to Qinglong Main Street to meet up with the Fourth Prince.
Jing Zhuoyue, dressed in red, sat astride his horse, dazzling like the blazing sun. His eyes were sharp as he glanced at the two women galloping towards him, his emotions somewhat mixed.
General Gu was famous and he naturally admired him.
However... the second young lady of the Lin family who follows General Gu... is not sure if she is a burden or a help?
Whatever.
It just so happened that he had once considered marrying into the Lin family, but had failed.
Perhaps this Second Miss Lin...will be a good breakthrough...
