Only when Chen Qiu entered did he realize that this was truly another world. The mountains and fields were covered with flowers. The place was not very big, but the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers were truly unique.
Chen Qiu was attracted by the scene before her, and ran into the sea of flowers, shouting as she ran: "It's so beautiful here, my husband, how did you find this place?"
Ye Chen watched Chen Qiu running so recklessly from behind, followed her with a smile in his eyes, and said from time to time: "Be careful, don't fall!"
Chen Qiu took a deep breath and jumped up, then ran around. It was so beautiful here. It was a sea of flowers. Later, when Chen Qiu was tired of running, he stood there with his arms open, closing his eyes and feeling the fragrance of flowers brought by the breeze.
Ye Chen walked behind Shen Qiu, put his arms around Shen Qiu's slender waist, put his chin on Shen Qiu's shoulder, and said, "Qiu'er, do you like it here?"
Shen Qiu reached out and stroked Ye Chen's cheek, nodded and said: "I like it very much!"
Ye Chen rubbed his face against Chen Qiu's hand and said, "I've asked Mu Qing to do it. Let's build a small cabin here and come over to stay for a few days at this time every year, okay?"
Chen Qiu smiled and said: "Okay, I'll listen to my husband!" Since he, the Duke, said so, then this matter should not be a big problem, and she can just wait with peace of mind.
Although Chen Qiu spent every summer in Kyoto, she rarely left the city after returning, so she wasn't familiar with the area around Kyoto. This time, Ye Chen took her to some small towns around Kyoto, and they also went to Xiangguo Temple together.
There is a monk in his thirties named Wenxin in Xiangguo Temple. This monk is the one who had always been with Ye Chen in his previous life.
Ye Chen once again stepped onto the steps of Xiangguo Temple, feeling dazed. If he hadn't been holding Chen Qiu's hand, he would have thought he was here to atone for his sins.
In his previous life, after Chen Qiu died, he cleaned up the government for the emperor. He traveled to every corner of the Great Yin Kingdom, one to hunt down the rebels, and the other to find Chen Qiu's body.
He killed many people in those years, but he was afraid that his sins were too deep and he would never see his Qiu'er again, so after each killing he would come to the Buddha to repent, and then do a good deed so that he could enter the cycle of reincarnation to find his Qiu'er.
In his previous life, after his Qiu'er died, she was taken away by that person. He searched the lands and oceans but couldn't find her. Finally, he found Chen Qiu lying in an ice coffin in an ice cave in the far north. Later, he held the already stiff Chen Qiu in his arms and slept together in the ice coffin.
Seeing Ye Chen staring blankly at the gate of Xiangguo Temple, Shen Qiu shook Ye Chen's hand and asked worriedly: "Husband? What's wrong with you?"
Ye Chen came back to his senses and looked at Chen Qiu, then smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go in now. The vegetarian food here is no worse than the royal banquet!"
Chen Qiu smiled and joked: "Really? Then I have to try it. My husband used to come here all the time."
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and shook his head and said: "I have never been here, I just heard about it from others." This was indeed the first time he entered the Xiangguo Temple in this life.
After the two of them walked in hand in hand, they burned incense together, donated incense money, and Shen Qiu asked for an amulet. Ye Chen and Shen Qiu walked around in Xiangguo Temple.
In his previous life, he always stayed in the bamboo house every time he came here. He brought Chen Qiu here unknowingly. Looking at all the familiar places, Ye Chen didn't know whether he should go in.
He stood there and looked around, then lowered his head and said to Shen Qiu: "Qiu'er, this should be where some eminent monk lives. Let's go and don't disturb his meditation!"
Ever since arriving at Xiangguo Temple, Chen Qiu felt that there was something wrong with Ye Chen. He seemed to be very resistant to this place, but also seemed to want to come in and take a look. Chen Qiu saw this contradiction very clearly. She didn't know where Ye Chen's contradiction came from, but it was difficult to ask. She was afraid that she had seen it wrong, or was too suspicious, and would cause more trouble for Ye Chen.
As the two were about to turn and leave, a voice rang out from the bamboo house: "If you are destined to be together, come in!"
When Ye Chen heard that voice, his hands tightened unconsciously. It was him, the voice that had accompanied him for more than ten years.
Chen Qiu pulled Ye Chen and called out carefully, "Husband?"
Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu, smiled, and said, "Since we have met an expert, let's go in and take a look, ok?"
Chen Qiu nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the bamboo house together.
Just as I reached the door, the bamboo house opened and a young novice monk came out, saying in a baby voice, "Dear donors, the master is inside, please come in!"
Ye Chen and Shen Qiu put their hands together, thanked the little monk, and then followed the little monk into the bamboo house.
This bamboo house is neither big nor small. You can see everything inside at a glance. There is only a small couch. There is not even a pillow or bedding on the couch. There are only two futons and a small table.
After Ye Chen and Shen Qiu entered, they saw a picture of Guanyin Bodhisattva hanging on the wall opposite the door, and a wooden board nailed to the wall in front, with a small incense burner on the board.
"Please take a seat here, benefactors." It was the voice that just arrived.
Chen Qiu and Ye Chen looked at the source of the voice. It was a monk in his thirties wearing a gray robe. His earlobes were as thick as those of Maitreya Buddha. He lowered his eyes and did not look directly at them.
Ye Chen sat opposite the monk, and Chen Qiu stood beside him. Ye Chen clasped his hands together and bowed to the monk, asking, "May I ask your Dharma name, Master?"
The monk returned the greeting and said, "I ask your opinion."
Ye Chen said: "I wonder if Master has any instructions for letting us in?"
Wen Xin said: "I dare not, but I just feel that we are destined to be together, so I invited you two to come and have a chat!"
Ye Chen asked: "Master has never seen us, so why do you say that we are destined to be together?"
Wenxin took out something that looked like a bone from his sleeve and put it on the table. When Ye Chen saw the thing, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.
This is a relic given to him by Wenxin in his previous life. In the end, he took it and laid it in the ice coffin together with Shen Qiu.
Was this the reason he was reborn? He didn't know, but his previous life was meant to cleanse him of his sins. Could it be that he would be possessed by the devil again in this life? Would he still be unable to protect his Qiu'er? Thinking of this, Ye Chen clenched his hands tightly.
Chen Qiu saw all the changes in Ye Chen. She was worried about Ye Chen. For some reason, she always felt that Ye Chen had been here, especially when she saw the bone on the table, she subconsciously looked at Ye Chen.
The relic emitted a faint yellow light, and the light became brighter and brighter.
Wenxin said, "This is a relic left behind by a great monk from Silla after his death. It has always looked like an ordinary piece of bone, but just now it glowed. When it glows, it means it has met its destined person."
Ye Chen didn't say anything. Chen Qiu just looked at Ye Chen worriedly. She didn't care about the relics or the monks.
Wenxin said again, "You two are here. I wonder who the true destined recipient of this relic is. Do you mind if I take a look at it for you?"
