Tan Yuan didn't have many things, most of them were various scriptures.
The two men each carried two bags, and they slowly went down the mountain when it got dark and there were not many people in the temple.
The way down the mountain was very long. As Tan Yuan walked, he couldn't help but look back. From his position, he could still see the plaque of Qinghua Temple and hear the melodious bells in the mountains.
Having lived in Qinghua Temple for twenty years, Tan Yuan never thought that one day he would leave here.
The little girl beside him was chattering away with a cheerful look on her face, which diluted a lot of his sadness of parting. He tilted his head to look at the little girl. She was unaware of his emotions and was still telling him how delicious the chicken was. She said she would take him to try it when they got down the mountain. A smile appeared in Tan Yuan's eyes, and he suddenly felt that it seemed quite good to have such a person by his side.
"girl?"
A familiar voice came from behind. Yin Li turned around and saw that this person was the girl she met when she went up the mountain more than half a month ago. She recommended the story to her at that time. Moreover, she didn't know that Tan Yuan was the legacy and her love rival!
"It's you." Yin Li smiled.
The girl originally called for confirmation because she thought Yin Li's back looked a bit like her. Unexpectedly, the other party was really the beautiful girl she met more than half a month ago. She was about to greet her happily, but she saw the person next to her.
"Master Tan Yuan?"
Tan Yuan put his hands together and said: "Amitabha."
"What Amitabha? You have already returned to secular life." Yin Li pulled his hand down, "From now on, you have to slowly change these habits you have as a monk."
The girl looked at the interaction between the two in shock: "Still returning to secular life?"
"Yes." Yin Li looked at her with curved eyebrows, "You are right, I am so pretty, Master Tan Yuan really likes me, he has decided to return to my hometown with me, from now on, there will be no more lectures by Master Tan Yuan on the 15th of every month at Qinghua Temple."
“This, this, this…”
Ignoring the girl's surprise, Yinli took Tan Yuan's hand and continued down the mountain.
Before Tan Yuan could say anything, the girl next to him pouted in dissatisfaction: "You are not allowed to go out in the future. There are many girls who know you and like you and are waiting for you to return to secular life. If they knew that you returned to secular life, someone would come to your house every day to offer themselves to you."
"How is this possible? Don't talk nonsense."
"How is it impossible? That person said that on the 15th of every month, the long stairs of Qinghua Temple will be trampled by girls." Yin Li said tangledly: "From now on, I will be responsible for making money to support the family, and you will be responsible for being beautiful."
Tan Yuan laughed when he heard this. What did he mean that she was responsible for making money to support the family, and he was responsible for being beautiful? What kind of talk is this? No matter what, he is a man and will naturally take responsibility for the family's livelihood.
After coming down the mountain, there was no carriage to go to the capital, so the two had to rent a house from a nearby farmer. The farmer's house had no extra rooms, so the two of them lived in one room.
"Isn't this too bad? I'd better sleep on the floor."
Yin Li lay down in the bed very considerately, leaving half of the bed for Tan Yuan: "What's wrong with that? It's not like we haven't slept together before. Why do we care about these vulgar rituals? Anyway, as long as you are responsible, my reputation will not be damaged."
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Yin Li continued, "Didn't you Buddhas say that when there are no delusions, the mind is a Buddhaland, and when there are delusions, the mind is a hell? If you have a clear conscience, why do you need to care about what others think? Just keep your original mind."
Tan Yuan was startled, then he put his hands together and said, "I am obsessed with appearances."
"I am a poor monk, you have to change all these things and call me wife from now on."
Tan Yuan's ears turned red, and he didn't know where to put his clasped hands. Yin Li ignored him and patted the half of the bed beside him and said, "Yiyu, come up quickly."
He had no choice but to go up and lie straight beside the little girl. The fragrance from her body rushed into his nose, and there was a faint heat coming from the side. Tan Yuan dared not move, and even his breathing was cautious.
In order to stop himself from thinking too much, he had to take the initiative to find a topic: "Why do you call me heritage?"
"Do you like the nickname I gave you?"
"... As long as you like it."
"I like."
"Um."
The awkward conversation ended and the room became quiet again.
Tan Yuan thought for a while and came up with another topic: "Tell me about your story."
"What's my business?"
"How did you cultivate to become a human?"
"Ah..." Yin Li was not very clear about the things of the original owner. "My memory is too old. I only remember that I was in a mountain, and then suddenly one day I got an opportunity, and then I practiced and practiced. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly one day I was able to become a human."
"No more?"
“No more.”
Tan Yuan was thinking about the next topic to talk about when he felt the little girl suddenly approach and hug his arm. His body suddenly became more stiff: "Um, do you have any requirements for getting married?"
"No, we can just pray to heaven and earth. I don't have any friends or relatives. As for you, you can't invite a bunch of monks to your wedding. So we can just do it ourselves."
“Wouldn’t that be bad?”
"No." Yin Li put an arm around his waist, "As long as you're by my side, that's all."
Tan Yuan was stunned. A warm current suddenly surged into his usually lonely heart. His stiff body seemed to soften a little. Tan Yuan's hands trembled slightly, but he finally took the little girl into his arms.
Sow such seeds, reap such fruits; everything is created by the mind. I am the only one who is supreme in the world. I observe myself and be at ease, keeping my true heart.
Now that you have decided to accept it, don't hesitate.
…
Prince Jin's Mansion, study.
Zhou Jingkong was dozing with his eyes closed when a gust of wind rushed into the room. He did not open his eyes but just asked, "What's the matter?"
"My Lord, I received a letter in your name saying that Tan Yuan has returned to secular life and has left the mountain with Fang Yinli. They now live in the same house."
Zhou Jingkong opened his eyes immediately: "Is this true?"
"It is absolutely true. Daoming also said that when Tan Yuan came down the mountain, many people saw him. I guess by tomorrow, the news that Tan Yuan returned to secular life and left with a girl will spread all over the capital."
Zhou Jingkong's originally solemn expression suddenly turned into a smile: "Go tell Daoming to tell Fang Yinli to be careful and don't let Tan Yuan find out."
"yes."
The secret guard was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Jingkong: "Tell Daoming to go to Zuixiaolou and get some roast chicken for her."
"yes."
Zhou Jingkong smiled. He really didn't expect Yin Li to be successful.
After all, Tan Yuan has been famous for a long time, and he has been a Buddhist since he was a child. Although there are countless girls who like him, he has remained unmoved for so many years. I guess he used some charm, otherwise how could he succeed so quickly.
"Your Majesty."
"What is it?"
"The queen is losing her temper again."
Zhou Jingkong frowned when he heard this: "I know."
As for Su Jinse's pregnancy, he went to see his father-in-law and got Su Jinse to agree not to abort the child. But even so, Su Jinse would lose her temper every other day. Zhou Jingkong knew that she was just trying to make trouble for him.
But this is his eldest son, and will be the first grandson of the royal family in the future, so he must bear it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jingkong hurriedly got up and went to Fuquyuan.
After sending the servants away, Zhou Jingkong pulled Su Jinse, who was sitting on the couch, and said in a gentle voice, "Jinse, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Su Jinse glanced at him and said nothing.
"Jinse, we already have a child. If you think there is something wrong with me, I can change it. But please don't joke with your body. If you get hurt, I will feel guilty and distressed."
Seeing the remorse and pain on his tired face, Su Jinse couldn't help but soften her heart and asked, "Who is Jiang Qingyan?"
