That night was extremely torturous for Lechen. He sat by candlelight copying Buddhist scriptures all night.
The nameless fire in his body did not dissipate until the second half of the night, and the bulge in his robes became flat again.
Jiang Jingyu woke up feeling refreshed. She stretched and came to the courtyard. She first glanced at the Sutra Library and saw the cold and lonely silhouette of Lechen through the window.
The beautiful monk copied here all night?
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyebrows and went to the water tank to fetch water and wash her face.
As soon as her figure appeared in the yard, Lechen noticed her out of the corner of his eye. He pretended to be calm and stood up and walked out of the yard. When he walked up the stairs to the second floor, he was seen by Jiang Jingyu who had just washed her face.
"Good morning, Master Liaochen."
Jiang Jingyu greeted Lechen as if nothing had happened.
Without stopping, Lechen said a faint "hmm" and went up to the second floor. Jiang Jingyu could feel that his attitude towards her had become much colder.
Liaochen was hiding from her.
It's not so much that he's avoiding her, it's more like he's avoiding himself.
Jiang Jingyu gave him time to struggle, to escape, and to recognize his own heart.
After washing up, Jiang Jingyu went to the Buddhist temple, where she chanted scriptures, meditated, and copied Buddhist scriptures.
All of Lechen's bedding was moved to Jiang Jingyu's room, leaving only an empty bed board in his room.
However, after he entered the room, he did not walk towards the bed, but walked to the table and took the fishing rod on it.
Worshiping Buddha, reciting scriptures and copying scriptures were not enough to calm his heart, so Liaochen had to resort to his old tricks and numb himself by fishing.
Lechen changed into clean clothes. That incident happened yesterday before Jiang Jingyu had time to bandage him. Later, Lechen was too distracted to pay attention to the wound on his abdomen. When he changed his clothes, he found that the wound had already scabbed.
I think it’s because of the bottle of medicine last night.
After thinking about Jiang Jingyu's identity, Lechen didn't dwell on this matter too much. She was a princess of noble status, and the medicine she carried with her was naturally very effective.
Lechen took the fishing rod and left the pavilion, continuing to sit by the lake and watch the willing ones take the bait.
Jiang Jingyu quietly watched his back through the window and was not surprised by Lechen's action.
【He seems to be hiding from the host.】
"Yeah, even you noticed it."
【What if he keeps hiding from the host? 】
"No, he will start to face his own heart when he has tried all the methods and found that none of them work."
Jiang Jingyu looked confident as he continued to copy the Heart Purification Mantra with a wolf hair brush in his hand.
This time she did not sit in her own seat, but sat in front of Lelechen's desk, and continued to copy the Heart Purification Mantra he had copied last night on his rice paper.
Not long after, the little monk who was responsible for delivering meals to them went up the mountain. After seeing Chen, the little monk walked towards him curiously.
"Brother Liaochen, why are you fishing so early in the morning?"
The little monk wore a big bamboo hat on his head and walked towards Lechen with a food box in his hand, panting.
Lechen looked at the lake calmly. When the little monk came to his side, he asked, "Hui En, if something keeps disturbing your mind, what would you do?"
The young monk who was asked stood beside Chen and scratched his head: "Brother, is this the task assigned to me today?"
The young monk did not rush to answer. If this was a task assigned to him by his senior brother, he would have to go back and think carefully before answering.
"No, but it's okay."
The little monk squatted beside Chen and thought about it seriously.
"Master has said that all living beings, plagued by ignorance and affliction, do not know their own minds. When their minds give rise to false thoughts, they commit evil deeds. Therefore, to abandon evil and cultivate good, to follow one's nature, is the right path, the great way."
The young monk looked at Lechen seriously and said, "If something keeps disturbing my mind, Huien will follow his heart and face it head-on."
After hearing what the little monk said, Liaochen murmured, "Follow your heart?"
"Yes, doesn't Master always tell us to follow our hearts? Brother Liaochen, is there something on your mind? Tell Huien, maybe Huien can help you solve your problem!"
The little monk looked at Lechen with sparkling eyes, happy to be his listener.
Liaochen shook his head: "Go to the attic."
"Brother Liaochen, aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm not hungry yet."
"Okay then, I'll go find the female Bodhisattva to drink some scented tea first! My scalp will get sunburned when the sun comes out later, so let me wear the hat first."
After the little monk finished speaking, he took off the bamboo hat on his head and put it on Lechen's head. Then he picked up the food box and jumped towards the pavilion.
On the other side, Gu Mansion.
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu surrounded Taoist Qingshan, staring at him without blinking.
"Master, how is it going? Has that evil creature left Foyan Temple?"
Although she knew it would take time to get from Qingzhou to Fo'an Temple, Mrs. Gu, who had been waiting all night, was still very anxious. She ran to Taoist Qingshan's room and asked him if he could know Chen's whereabouts in advance.
Taoist Qingshan removed his fingers from the placenta and slowly opened his eyes.
"That child is still in the Fo'an Temple."
"What?!"
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu exclaimed, "How could this happen? Can't all those assassins bring him back alone?!"
Taoist Qingshan had a serious look on his face. He only had three days left. If the child was still in the Fo'an Temple after three days, then everything would be irreversible!
"Even the killer couldn't bring that evil creature back. What should we do now?"
Mrs. Gu looked distressed, regretting that she had not hired enough killers!
Taoist Qingshan's cloudy eyes kept turning, and finally a light flashed in his eyes.
"That child's destiny lacks water, and he's in conflict with water. I'll use the placenta to cast a spell and make him fall into the water. You all must head to Fo'an Temple now. I don't care what you make up, but you must take him away from Fo'an Temple within three days!"
"Okay, okay, let's go right away, right away!"
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu did not dare to delay. Having not slept all night, they hurriedly ordered their servants to prepare the horses and set off again for Fo'an Temple.
Liaochen tried it, but the method of concentrating his mind and calming his spirit through fishing no longer worked for him.
Looking at the calm lake in front of him, he retracted his fishing rod and stood up from the grass.
He planned to worship Buddha and chant scriptures with his fellow disciples in the temple, thinking that perhaps the change of environment would help him calm down.
He had just turned around when his feet suddenly slipped and he fell uncontrollably into the lake!
Gurgle gurgle——
Lechen choked on a mouthful of lake water. Being a landlubber, he kept struggling in the lake, trying to swim to the shore, but his legs seemed to be entangled by something, making him unable to move at all!
The splashes gradually became smaller, and Lechen's body slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
As his consciousness became blurred, the people he cared about flashed through his mind, including his master, his senior and junior brothers, and... her.
"Oh no, female Bodhisattva, something bad has happened! Brother has fallen into the water!"
——
Darlings, you can take a look at these two again. I posted the wrong chapter yesterday and moved it forward one chapter.
