Chapter 3 Please, Sir, Save Me Once
Inside the carriage.
Su Rui played with the incense block she found under the seat cushion.
This ointment melts when heated and emits a fragrance that is extremely attractive to bees and insects, attracting them to gather, go crazy, and sting.
The fragrance dissipated an hour after it melted, and there was no trace of it when she looked back. Her face was covered with blisters from the stings, and she couldn't even enter the door of Fahua Temple, let alone seduce Yun Ji. This way of survival was over.
How vicious.
Unfortunately, there are many treacherous people on the border. She has been wandering for two lifetimes and learned the fine skills of making incense and dissecting corpses. With this, she worked as a second leatherworker (sewing corpses) in the military camp in exchange for others not to touch her easily.
She noticed the subtle fragrance as soon as she entered the carriage.
Wrap it in a towel and store it in the ice box in the car.
After wiping my hands and lifting the curtains, I could already see the Fahua Temple.
After changing into the gray robe prepared in the car and stitching a few stitches at the waist with needle and thread, the car stopped.
When I got off the car, there were already seven or eight people standing outside the temple gate.
There are people ranging from fourteen to twenty years old, tall and short, fat and thin, each with their own merits.
But as soon as Su Rui came out, everyone immediately lost their color.
Not only was her appearance stunning, but even the grey robe showed off her curves, especially her chest, which seemed to be about to burst. Even the tight collar could not hide the faint cleavage that was visible.
Just one glance and the young monks waiting at the temple gate turned red in the ears and looked away.
When he heard the eunuch say that everyone had arrived, he hurriedly led the way inside.
Fahua Temple is a thousand-year-old temple and also a royal temple. It is ancient and solemn, with the sound of Buddha everywhere.
They were not allowed to enter the pure place of Buddhism, but Yunji, who was now meditating in the temple, was the late emperor's most beloved youngest son. The emperor loved him very much when he had a son in his old age, but in order to avoid suspicion towards his young son, the crown prince listened to the dying Concubine Yun's last words and sent the young son to the Fahua Temple for meditation, and waited until he was twenty-five to shave his head and become a monk to inherit the position of the imperial teacher.
Fifteen years after the crown prince ascended the throne, he has been suffering from poor health recently. He always dreams of the late emperor muttering about his pitiful youngest son, his lonely life, and his many debts. He wants Yun Ji to not become a monk, but to get married and have children to fulfill his wish.
But Yunji was determined to become a monk and refused to get married.
The emperor's health was deteriorating, and Yunji's twenty-five-year-old birthday, when he would shave his head and become a monk, was approaching. This matter became an obsession for the emperor, so he chose women to serve him and prevent Yunji from becoming a monk.
But it has never been shaken, so the rumors she spread that night are effective.
"Ladies, please stay here. I'm taking my leave." The young monk bowed eleven times and was about to leave.
Su Rui reached out and grabbed his hand, startling him. When he looked up, his eyes met her chest. His face flushed with shock and he lowered his head, only to see her calves exposed under her robe. She was wearing cicada-wing gauze pants, and her long legs were half-revealed, with a fleeting glimpse of them.
I was so anxious that I didn't know where to put my eyes, so I just closed them.
"Excuse me, Master, where is Mr. Yunji?"
The voice was soft and hooked, and the warmth from his wrist made the little monk's heart confused. He said something that he shouldn't have said, "Mr. Yunji is still in Feiyun Pavilion."
Su Rui took a step closer, "Where is Feiyun Pavilion?"
The young monk instinctively pointed with his backhand towards the tall building in the distance.
Looking in the direction, there were indeed clouds and mist flying around, and a clear shadow could be vaguely seen.
Even though I couldn't see her face clearly, I could feel from her pine-jade figure that she was standing on the top of a snowy mountain, with an unworldly temperament, like a solitary snow lotus.
Su Rui felt that the other person was also looking at her, but the figure disappeared in an instant.
In a moment of trance, the little monk had already escaped from his hands in panic.
My heart was still beating fast even when I went out.
I thought to myself that my master was right, women are like tigers, and this female donor is even more of a tiger, Amitabha.
"She was indeed a slave, and she even seduced a young monk." The woman traveling with her sneered.
"You're here to seduce me, why are you pretending to be so noble? But..." Su Rui looked him up and down and sneered, "You really can't seduce me."
The woman felt insulted and wanted to rush forward, but the people around her stopped her.
Su Rui didn't even glance at him again and went to the best meditation room.
The woman was so angry that she said, "Even if you have the ability, what's the point of asking where the person is? Feiyun Pavilion is a place where books are stored. It is guarded day and night, and you can't get in."
Su Rui ignored it. She didn't need to tell others how to get in.
…
Inside Feiyun Pavilion.
Yun Ji returned to his seat and knelt. Abbot Kong Ming raised his gaze and asked, "Are you going to study Buddhism here again for the next three days?"
"Yes." Yun Ji said without hesitation, lowering his head in shame, "I have disturbed the tranquility of Buddhism."
Abbot Kong Ming shook his head. "You have not yet left the secular world and have not shaved your head to become a monk. Since this is the late emperor's last wish, there is no problem in complying with it."
"I am devoted to Buddhism and have no other thoughts." Yun Ji put his hands together, chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and had already entered a state of no dust.
Understanding his determination, Abbot Kongming stopped trying to persuade him.
…
That night.
Three waves of people have been driven away from Feiyun Pavilion.
Although he spoke with disdain for Su Rui, he did not waste any of the information she asked.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard we tried, we still couldn't shake the big monk guarding the gate.
Their six senses are pure, but they are not as easy to talk to as the little novice monk.
Although these women are not of high status, they are from aristocratic families after all. They have been disciplined since childhood, their minds are not that active, and they are not as bold as Su Rui.
Since she couldn't get through the door, she climbed the wall.
But a tall building is not like a cliff, which has so many footholds. It took a lot of effort to climb in through the third-floor window.
He was in a dishevel, and his grey robe was torn in several places.
Su Rui simply tore it off, took off her gauze pants, shoes and socks, and went up barefoot.
“Who is it?”
As soon as my front foot stepped on the last step, a sigh was heard.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the shadow of a Buddha statue covered the entire floor under the flickering candlelight. A man in a green monk's robe was kneeling on a cushion. Unlike the bald heads in the temple, he had his black hair tied up, indicating his special existence in this Fahua Temple.
He has clear features, a face like a crown of jade, and a clear mind.
There was compassion in her pair of eyes, and anyone who looked at her felt surrounded by holy light, as if even someone in hell like her could be saved.
Of course, he is indeed her only salvation at the moment.
"Mr. Yunji, don't you remember me?" Su Rui's voice was as charming as silk, and she stepped forward without paying any attention to the warning, and got closer step by step.
Yun Ji remembered.
She was the woman of that night.
But that night she was not as charming as she was, but a girl in distress and injured. He felt pity for her, but it turned out to be all a conspiracy.
"When I saved you, I wanted you to escape from your predicament and have a new life."
"In that case, sir, you should save him to the end, and then..."
Before she could finish her words, a chess piece exploded into pieces in front of Su Rui's feet. If it had moved an inch forward, it would have pierced her foot.
"Don't come any closer, please go back." The words were polite, but the tone left no room for negotiation.
Su Rui didn't turn back, nor did she move forward. Instead, she sat down on the spot and said in a manner that perfectly showed off her beautiful figure, "If I go back, I'll be dead. Mr. Yunji, please be merciful and save me once."
"Everything has its own cause and effect. I can't help you." Yun Ji knocked the wooden fish in front of him and looked directly at Su Rui, but there was no her in his eyes at all.
Form is emptiness, so be it.
No matter how beautiful or charming you are, it's all empty in his eyes.
But he can't be alone here with Su Rui.
Quietly crush the incense pill in your hand and rub the incense powder.
