Jiang Jingyu stepped aside to hide the smile in her eyes. She was thinking of pretending to be possessed by a nightmare to lure the beautiful monk over, but she didn't expect that he would come to her door himself.
He could probably endure it for a day or two, but she didn't believe that he could still be so energetic after enduring it for several days in a row!
When he can no longer hold on, I can ask him to move in and sleep in the same room with me. Wouldn't that be a piece of cake?!
Jiang Jingyu thought happily, and closed the door after Chen came in.
When Liaochen came, he brought the book of strange stories with him. Like last night, he came to the table and read the contents of the book by candlelight.
Although Jiang Jingyu couldn't understand the complicated spells on the Qingxin Mantra, he copied them for a long time. Now he felt sleepy from overusing his brain, so he yawned and crawled into the bed curtain. The sound of steady breathing soon came from inside the bed curtain.
The noises of Liaochen flipping through the pages of the book became quieter.
The weather in June is like a suspicious man, changing at any time.
The weather was a bit hot and humid just now, but now it suddenly feels a bit cooler, and then a drizzle begins to fall.
Lechen looked up at the bamboo shadows swaying in the wind outside the window, then stood up and closed the window.
When I turned around, I found Jiang Jingyu curled up with her arms around a pillow. She had opened most of the bed curtains and kicked the quilt aside. She was shivering with cold.
Lechen pursed his lips slightly and walked towards the bed. He covered Jiang Jingyu with a quilt as if he was taking care of his fellow disciples in the temple, and closed the bed curtain that she had lifted halfway.
After doing all this quietly, he returned to the table and read through strange stories. He did not leave even though Jiang Jingyu had fallen asleep.
When Jiang Jingyu woke up the next day, there was no sign of Luochen in the room. Needless to say, he had already gone to the Buddhist temple.
Jiang Jingyu quickly washed up and ran to the Buddhist temple, where she saw Chen's cool and upright figure sitting on the cushion.
Jiang Jingyu walked towards her cushion and found a string of Buddhist beads on it.
Since Liaochen was in meditation, Jiang Jingyu did not make any noise to disturb him. After seeing the Buddhist beads around his neck, she picked up the beads on the cushion and put them around her own neck.
But why does this Buddhist necklace look different from the one worn around Lechen’s neck?
Jiang Jingyu looked down at the Buddhist beads that just reached her collarbone, and without thinking too much, she picked up the wooden hammer and started knocking on them properly.
The disorderly sound of a wooden fish rang out beside Lechen. Although Jiang Jingyu did not say anything, Lechen, who was meditating, was still disturbed by her.
Lechen did not stop beating the wooden fish in his hand. He turned his head to look at Jiang Jingyu beside him. His eyes fell on the Buddhist beads around her neck and he opened his mouth to say something but stopped. Seeing that Jiang Jingyu was beating the wooden fish in a very professional manner, he finally did not say anything to disturb her and let her go.
After half an incense stick of yesterday, Jiang Jingyu indeed beat the wooden fish for a longer time today. Lechen was quite satisfied with her performance, and then took her to the Sutra Library to continue copying the Heart Purification Mantra.
Yesterday, Lechen was standing beside Jiang Jingyu and watching her copying the Heart Purification Mantra. Today, after arriving at the Sutra Library, he sat directly at his desk and continued to read the book of strange stories that he had not yet finished.
Jiang Jingyu had no choice but to lift up her skirt and sit down in front of the desk, resignedly picking up the wolf hair brush to copy the Heart Purification Mantra.
She found that as long as she worked actively, Lechen's attitude towards her would become a little more lenient. Perhaps this was the kind of obedient student that the teacher liked.
In order to get closer to Lu Chen step by step, Jiang Jingyu had to pretend to be an obedient student. No matter whether it was copying the Heart Purification Mantra or beating the wooden fish, she just had to do it!
Considering that after she copied three copies of the Heart Purification Mantra yesterday, Liaochen patiently explained the meaning of them to her, Jiang Jingyu copied three copies in one breath, and then looked up at Liaochen opposite her.
"I've copied three chapters and asked Master Chen to help me clear up my confusion."
"Um."
Lechen did not refuse. He put the bamboo stick between the pages he was reading and stood up and walked towards Jiang Jingyu.
He first checked what Jiang Jingyu had copied and found that several talismans were written incorrectly. He circled them patiently and pointed to the incorrect talismans.
"These are wrong, please rewrite them."
Because the talisman pattern was too complicated, Jiang Jingyu, who wanted to get away with it by scribbling casually, took the rice paper from his hand and continued to draw the talisman according to the scripture.
"Wrong."
Just as I put pen to paper, I heard the sound of dust above my head.
Jiang Jingyu had no choice but to place the wolf hair brush in his hand on the blank space next to him and draw it bit by bit according to the scripture.
Jiang Jingyu, who had drawn five complicated talismans in succession, gradually lost her patience. She made mistakes everywhere as soon as she started writing. Just when she was about to give up, Lechen, who was originally standing beside her, suddenly took two steps behind her, then bent down and approached her.
The cold Buddhist beads he wore around his neck fell to the back of Jiang Jingyu's neck. The wolf hair brush in Jiang Jingyu's hand touched the rice paper, leaving a clear cinnabar red mark.
Without waiting for her to react, Lechen's big palm covered the back of her hand, holding her hand and writing the talismans that she could not draw.
"Do you understand?"
Liaochen's voice sounded in my ears.
Jiang Jingyu's whole heart was focused on the two people's clasped hands, so how could she care about reading any talismans or scriptures?
She turned her head to look at Lechen who was standing nearby and shook her head honestly.
Lechen had no choice but to hold her hand and repeat it again. It was not until the fifth time that Jiang Jingyu nodded.
After watching her repeat the scripture with his own eyes, Lechen explained the meaning of it to her.
He used Buddhist rhetoric, and Jiang Jingyu nodded, not quite understanding what he meant.
Only after he finished explaining the three chapters of the Heart Purification Mantra that she had copied did Lechen return to his desk. Finally, he found a situation similar to Jiang Jingyu's in the strange stories in his hand.
He followed the method in strange stories, bit his finger and mixed the blood into cinnabar, then looked up at Jiang Jingyu opposite him.
"come over."
Another short and sharp word.
Jiang Jingyu was quite happy to be close to him. After hearing Chen's words, she stood up and walked towards him.
"Master Liaochen, what do you want from me?"
Liaochen flicked his wide sleeves and motioned Jiang Jingyu to sit on the cushion beside him.
After Jiang Jingyu did as he was told, he picked up the wolf-hair brush in front of him and dipped it in some cinnabar mixed with his blood, then turned around and looked at Jiang Jingyu.
"My blood can alleviate the nightmares you're suffering from. This cinnabar will last for seven days. Come back to me after seven days to apply the cinnabar."
After hearing that Chen was going to put cinnabar on her, Jiang Jingyu cooperated by leaning forward and putting her face in front of him.
"Master Liaochen, I want to order a totem that looks like the cinnabar on your forehead."
Jiang Jingyu noticed the totem on Chen's forehead the first time she met him. The totem was shaped like a flame, adding a touch of charm to his cold face.
"Um."
Lechen responded calmly, then reached out and gently supported Jiang Jingyu's head.
