Chapter 1: Making a Wish
The night, like a piece of black silk, tightly wraps the Fanyin Temple.
Everything was silent except for a few candles flickering in the breeze.
However, the tranquility was suddenly torn apart by the sound of swords and guns fighting, the sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.
But the noise came and went quickly.
In the blink of an eye, silence returned.
Kwon Myung-hyuk was wearing a horror mask, and his expression hidden by the mask looked gloomy and terrifying.
He returned to the room that the temple had arranged for him.
Today, he deliberately concealed his identity and entered the Fanyin Temple in disguise, but he never expected that he would still be assassinated.
It seems that there are spies around him!
"Master, are you alright?"
Zhao Cong, who was standing aside, looked nervous, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"No problem."
Quan Minghe spat out these two words coldly, but his eyes were fixed on the not-so-deep knife scar on his arm.
Without hesitation, he reached out and tore off a piece of clothing, then bandaged his arm swiftly and skillfully, his eyes still as cold as ice.
"What did you find out?"
"Master, tonight's assassin may be from the former Jinlin Kingdom."
"I don't know how they found out that you would come to Fanyin Temple tonight, and they lay in ambush here early in the morning."
His master's whereabouts have been exposed, and he has no choice but to take responsibility.
I thought that the arrangements for this trip were foolproof and all parties were on high alert, but I didn't expect such a mistake to happen.
Who on earth is so bold as to reveal the whereabouts of his master? !
Zhao Cong gritted his teeth secretly.
In the light of the candle, Quan Minghe's eyes flickered like cold stars that appeared and disappeared in the night sky.
In the silent space, there were only the slightly heavy breathing sounds of him and Zhao Cong. The depressing atmosphere made Zhao Cong frightened.
For this assassination today, I will inevitably be punished.
But compared to this, the spy who leaked the master's whereabouts is the one who deserves the death penalty.
After returning to the palace, he will definitely investigate everyone around his master thoroughly.
Before Quan Minghe could figure out a solution, he suddenly felt his body starting to heat up.
A strange feeling of heat quickly rose from deep inside the body and spread throughout the body in an instant.
“Damn it!”
Quan Minghe couldn't help but curse under his breath and frowned tightly.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Quan Minghe felt the desire rising rapidly in his body.
He bit his back teeth.
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
I seem to have some idea about the things that I have been unable to figure out.
"Go find a woman."
Quan Minghe tried hard to endure the unbearable heat in his body.
Zhao Cong's pupils suddenly shrank.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the wound on his master's arm.
There is aphrodisiac on this knife? !
What kind of assassin is so despicable as to smear aphrodisiac on his weapon? !
Could it be... Could it be that someone in the harem did it?
Many speculations flashed through Zhao Cong's mind, but he couldn't think too much at the moment.
"Master, I will send someone to look for him right away."
Zhao Cong did not dare to be negligent and turned to leave the room.
When he arrived at the door, he quickly gathered a few of his men and rushed to find the woman.
But Fanyin Temple is a quiet Buddhist place, and there is not even a female nun. Where can he find a woman for his master in such a short time?
-
The moonlight shines down and the Fanyin Temple is located on the mountain.
The two girls came all the way up from the path because they knew there was a marriage tree outside the Fanyin Temple and wanted to go there to pray.
There were a lot of people here during the day, but at night there were only the two of them.
"Miss, why do you come to Fanyin Temple so late at night?"
A woman in yellow clothes and a maid's bun had a worried look on her face.
Xitong has been with her young lady since she was a child. This time, the young lady came to Beijing to get married, and insisted on coming to Fanyin Temple late at night. No amount of dissuasion could help.
Fortunately, we haven't entered the city yet. We are still in the suburbs and there is no one to restrain us, so the young lady can do what she wants.
Shen Yuling raised her head slightly and looked towards the Fanyin Temple which looked even more solemn and dignified under the moonlight, and then set her sights on the marriage tree.
His eyes were filled with longing.
"I'm getting married soon, and I haven't met my future husband yet, so I want to come to the Fanyin Temple to pray. I have so many wishes!"
Shen Yuling straightened her light pink straight-hem gown.
Put your hands together and face the marriage tree.
She was wearing a cross-collar, right-fronted style, which should have seemed a bit old-fashioned.
But when she wore it, the perfect cut highlighted her slender neck and snow-white skin.
Under the moonlight, it exudes a soft luster, beautiful like a dream.
She had a lavender silk belt around her waist, with a round jade pendant tied to it. The jade pendant was warm and transparent in texture.
When you shake it gently, it will make a crisp and pleasant sound.
What a beautiful woman.
Xitong behind her was stunned when she saw her young lady.
Who can resist the beauty of the lady?
Shen Yuling stroked her bright face.
“Am I good-looking?”
Xitong nodded without hesitation.
If the lady were not pretty, there would be no pretty people in this world.
Shen Yuling smiled and said: "So my first wish is——"
She closed her eyes slightly, looking pious.
"I wish my beloved is handsome, with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, and a face as beautiful as jade that attracts people's love."
After all, her parents are both very good-looking people, and she herself is also good-looking, so her future husband must naturally be a handsome man with outstanding looks.
Xitong couldn't help but smile.
My young lady's thoughts are so straightforward and cute.
Shen Yuling opened her eyes and touched her ink-black hair again.
"Second, I wish that my beauty will last forever, my face will always be beautiful, my hair will be as black as ink, and time will pass slowly."
She is now at the age when she loves beauty. Of course, she hopes that she can keep her youthful looks forever and stay beautiful forever.
Thinking of the third wish, a hint of shyness emerged, her eyes showed more longing, and her voice became softer.
"My third wish is that our love will never end, that I can stay with you without regrets, and that we can be happy together day and night."
Xitong laughed and joked.
"Miss, your wish is so beautiful. I believe God will hear your prayers and make your wishes come true."
Shen Yuling patted Xitong's arm.
He said angrily, "You are the only one who can say nice things."
But even though she said this, her heart was full of expectations.
Then he continued to make wishes with great interest.
"Four wishes..."
"Five wishes..."
Although Shen Yuling deliberately lowered her voice, the excitement and anticipation in her tone could not be suppressed.
With full of longing in my heart, in the quiet night of Fanyin Temple, I whispered my expectations for the future.
