Chapter 110 Buddha, please protect your little fox (22)
Buddhist Hall
Wuan, wearing a monk's robe and with a thin figure, stood quietly beside Ye Ranqing, holding the agarwood he used to fulfill his vow.
"Donor, this is agarwood for fulfilling vows. It is very effective when used to seek peace."
Ye Ranqing reached out to take it and spoke softly.
"Thank you, Master Wuan."
Ye Ranqing lit the agarwood and then solemnly inserted it into the incense burner.
The white smoke slowly filled the air, enveloping Ye Ranqing's delicate and bold eyebrows and eyes, making him look inexplicably gentle.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and murmured
"I hope that father can successfully fight the enemy and return safely."
Beside the ears, the wooden fish beats out regular tones, light and uniform, which makes people guard against arrogance and impatience, and calm down unconsciously.
Wu An opened his lips and hesitated to speak, his voice serious.
"Miss Ye, your father is blessed by heaven and will surely return safely."
The young monk who grew up in Putuo Temple and had never met the girl from the mountain seemed so unfamiliar with even comforting her.
Ye Ranqing smiled and said, "Master Wuan, are you comforting me?"
Wuan nodded awkwardly, and then he didn't know what he thought of.
He looked at the tall Buddha statue in front of him with a guilty conscience. He always felt that the eyes seemed to have a charm at this moment and could see what he was thinking at a glance.
Wuan quickly lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.
Before the Buddha's seat, do not let your thoughts wander. Amitabha...
He bowed with both hands, slightly closed his eyelids, and his thoughts unconsciously drifted far away.
General Ye was sent by His Majesty to recover the lost border territory. Miss Ye must be very worried...
How to comfort her...
Miss Ye...
The leaves are dyed green.
Wait! Wuan, don't let your imagination run wild! Amitabha...
Wuan silently recited the Heart Purification Sutra, trying to calm his restless mind.
Ye Ranqing made a wish but did not stand up immediately.
She bent down and took out a pair of divination blocks from the divination basin.
"Miss Ye, this is the unique Yin-Yang divination block used in Putuo Temple. When pilgrims are hesitant or unsure about what is right or wrong, they will make a decision by throwing the blocks, thus clearing the clouds and revealing the sun."
Wuan explained carefully on the side.
Ye Ranqing lowered his eyes and looked at the Yin-Yang divination block in his hand in a daze.
After a moment, she seemed to have made a decision and placed the Yin-Yang divination blocks in her palm.
Wu An pursed his lips, not wanting to disturb her.
Ye Ranqing took a deep breath and threw the Yin-Yang divination blocks in his hand.
The Yin-Yang divination blocks flipped in the air and then landed steadily on the ground.
Yin and Yang complement each other.
The huge rock pressing on my chest collapsed in an instant.
Ye Ranqing finally cleared away the dark clouds and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"I understand. Thank you for your enlightenment, Buddha."
The two of them walked slowly to the outside of the Buddhist temple, and Wu An asked softly
"Just now, Miss Ye, what decision did you make?"
"Young Master Wuan."
Ye Ranqing turned his head and looked at him.
The sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves of the Putuo tree, casting a layer of dazzling light, which made Ye Ranqing look as if he had been rejuvenated, bold and confident.
"I want to go to the border with my father to fight the enemy and recover the lost territory."
When saying this, Ye Ranqing's eyes were very bright, like stars at night, dazzling and brilliant.
Wu An couldn't believe it. "Miss Ye, what did you say?"
"I said, I'm going to the battlefield."
She was born in a general's mansion. Her mother was a gentle and kind general's wife, and her father was the most majestic cavalry general.
For Daliang, he escaped death countless times and ended up covered in wounds.
As her father's only daughter, how could she be willing to live in the deep palace?
She wants to go to the battlefield and use the enemy's blood to commemorate the people of Daliang who have been harmed!
Looking into Ye Ranqing's beautiful eyes, Wuan opened his lips but could not say anything.
He pinched his palms, and after a long while, hesitantly squeezed out a few words from between his lips and teeth.
"Have you...thought it over?"
"I've thought about it." Ye Ranqing smiled and tilted his head to look at Wu An. "So, little master, would you like to wish me peace?"
"Miss Ye, I support all the decisions you make. I wish you and General Ye a safe return."
Wuan only hopes that Miss Ye Ranqing can follow his wishes and live a happy and colorful life.

The flowers in Putuo Temple were in full bloom. Wuan took Ye Ranqing and walked along every path in the temple.
He introduced the name of each flower to Ye Ranqing and let her taste the pastries he made.
"How is it? Is it still to your liking?"
Ye Ranqing held tea in one hand and pastries in the other, eating with great relish.
"Delicious, delicious, your cooking skills are amazing, little chef."
Wu An blushed slightly, "As long as Miss Ye likes it."
Ye Ranqing ate a few more pieces with Putuo tea, and then asked
"By the way, where is the little red fox from before? Is it still in Putuo Temple?"
Wuan felt a little sad when talking about the little fox.
“It went downhill.”
Ye Ranqing's face was full of regret. "Why?"
Wuan thought about it and decided not to tell her that the little fox had transformed into a human form.
First, he was afraid of scaring Miss Ye Ranqing, and second, he was afraid that after Miss Ye knew about it, she would accidentally tell others and bring unnecessary danger to the little fox.
After all, a fox spirit that can transform will be coveted by many people.
"She likes to play, so she went down the mountain to join in the fun."
Ye Ranqing said "oh", and suddenly, she didn't know what she thought of, and her eyes widened suddenly.
"Oh no! Take me to find the Buddha!"
Wu An was confused. "What do you want to do with the Buddha?"
"Don't worry about it, take me there quickly, I'll talk to you later."

Outside the Zen room, the bamboo door was tightly closed. Even though Wuan knew that Buddhist disciple Jingchen was inside, he was powerless to do anything.
Ever since the incident with Princess Chaoyang, the Buddhist disciple never left the meditation room again. He never even attended the morning sutra recitation and rituals.
"Miss Ye, you've seen that the Buddhist disciple has been recuperating recently and has stayed indoors. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
There was a hint of urgency in Ye Ranqing's voice.
"Tell you what, can you find the little fox?"
Wu An's doubts grew even more intense. He scratched his shiny bald head and asked
"What happened?"
"The little fox might be in danger. This is a long story. I'll explain it to you two in detail when the Buddha comes out."
Wuan sighed deeply
"Miss Ye, you don't know that in the past few days, the Buddhist disciple has been locked in the meditation room. Even if there is any news about the little fox, I'm afraid it won't be enough..."
Wuan hasn't finished speaking yet
"Squeak."
The bamboo door opened from the inside, and a cold and clear voice came into my ears.
"Come in."
*
It turned out that after Princess Chaoyang returned to the palace, she was punished by the emperor with thirty lashes of the cane and was placed under house arrest in Chaoyang Palace to recuperate.
She was filled with hatred, but couldn't do anything to Jingchen, so she turned her attention to the little fox that Jingchen raised.
She heard from some young monk that the little fox had gone down the mountain and left Putuo Temple.
Chaoyang thought this was a good opportunity, so she sent several secret guards to hunt and kill red foxes in busy markets or remote suburbs.
