Chapter 104 Little Horn
The name of Shijing Temple sounds rigid and dry, but actually the surrounding scenery is very beautiful. It is built halfway up a mountain, and there is a large pink peach forest outside the temple, which is very beautiful in season - no wonder so many ladies bring their daughters here to seek marriage.
The old lady was an acquaintance in the temple. There was already a round-headed little monk waiting at the door. She was delighted to hear him introduce himself as the 128th direct disciple of Master Fang Jing. Master Fang Jing himself did not like to go down the mountain or see people, but he accepted a large number of disciples to make his name known.
Young Master Gao Xing looks only about six or seven years old this year. He is lively, active, smart, intelligent and very cute. He is the one who receives the old lady every time she comes. He can always make her happy and donate a golden statue of Bodhisattva when he is happy.
Shen Wangshu thought, the cunning Master Fang Jing took advantage of the fact that the old lady was rich and liked children, and sent a sweet-mouthed boy who looked obedient and happy. Even she couldn't help but want to touch the little round head when she saw it, let alone the old lady.
"Donor Chen, my master is giving a lecture to other fellow disciples right now. You just happened to catch up. I'll take you there." Gao Xing put his hands together and bowed to the old lady, reaching out to support her: "Donor, my name is... I'll call Uncle Fang Yuan to entertain you."
The old lady asked curiously, "This is my granddaughter-in-law, can't she go with me?"
Gao Xing said honestly, "This donor is visiting the temple for the first time. He might fall asleep while listening to the master's lecture. It would be better for him to visit other parts of the temple first."
Shen Wangshu couldn't help laughing: "How did you know I was going to fall asleep?"
Gao Xing was very rebellious and said, "Except for donor Chen, no one can listen to what the master says. I fall asleep every time anyway, and the other brothers can't listen either." So he just came out to pick him up.
Even if Shen Wangshu really went in, it would just be one more person who would be distracted and fall asleep, so it would be better to just walk around.
Old Madam Chen also smiled: "Well, since this is indeed your first time here, just walk around the temple, burn some incense, and let Madam Chen and Wutong accompany you."
Gao Xing hurriedly said, "Master Fang Yuan will definitely entertain this donor well."
Gao Xing first sent the old lady to the place, then turned back and took Shen Wangshu to find his senior brother: “Although Senior Uncle Fang Yuan has a unique personality, he is definitely not a bad person. If it is unintentional offense, I apologize to you on his behalf.”
Shen Wangshu touched the child's head and said, "He is such a grown-up, why would he ask you to apologize for him?"
This Master Fang Yuan must be a really wonderful person. Young Master Gao Xing hesitated for a long time and wanted to say something. Finally, he stamped his feet anxiously, said "Oh", and looked very worried.
When Shen Wangshu saw this man, she was slightly surprised - she was glad to call Master Fang Yuan "Uncle Master". She thought that this man must be the same age as his master... Master Fang Jing has been famous for a long time and he is at least sixty or seventy years old this year, so Master Fang Yuan should be about the same age.
But in fact, Master Fang Yuan's figure resembles that of a young man, tall and resolute, with a sense of vicissitudes of life as if he had experienced a lot of things. Moreover, he did not shave his head, his long hair was tied up, he wore cloth clothes and cloth shoes, and a rough hat on his back, as if he had just returned from traveling somewhere.
Gao Xing was also very well behaved in front of his uncle: "Uncle Fang Yuan, I brought Donor Shen here."
Master Fang Yuan turned around, revealing a young and calm face with deep eyes, and a kind of detached and unrestrained look of a hermit.
...A very standard face of a male supporting character in novels.
Shen Wangshu felt that just by looking at this face, he could guess most of his personality.
"Donor Shen." Just as she was daydreaming, a hoarse male voice beside her called her back to her senses: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"......" Sure enough, the first sentence he said was quite offensive, and it was said as if they knew each other.
Shen Wangshu: "Master Fang Yuan is waiting for me? Could it be that you have already guessed that I would come today?"
Master Fang Yuan, who looked too young, shook his head, his eyes seemed to be looking through this body at another person: "I didn't guess, I calculated. I calculated that you would come today, so I returned to the temple a few days in advance."
This plot, this line...
Shen Wangshu suppressed the subtle emotions in his heart: "Master, do you want to tell my fortune?" Could it be that she was also a destined person, a child of luck?
"I can't figure out your hexagram. It's too long a time and distance apart. The fate of two people is completely different. I'm sure you've discovered this yourself... But there's something on me that I want to return to you now." Master Fang Yuan paused: "Or it could be the general."
Shen Wangshu raised his eyebrows: “Aren’t you afraid that I’m a bad person?”
"No matter you are a good person or a bad person, you are the destined person for that person. This thing can only be given to you."
"What if I hadn't come?"
"If you hadn't come...the property would never have been returned to its original owner."
Nanny Chen and Wutong didn't understand what the two were talking about, but since they seemed to be having a good time, they just listened quietly.
"What is it?" Shen Wangshu didn't beat around the bush.
Master Fang Yuan said, "We need these two donors to step aside."
Nanny Chen and Wutong were stunned, and subconsciously looked at Shen Wangshu, and when they saw their master nod, they retreated silently.
When they were the only two people left in the courtyard, Master Fang Yuan began to pull at his collar. Shen Wangshu raised his hands to cover his eyes in astonishment: “Hey you…!”
The man glanced at her speechlessly, then pulled out a red rope from his collar. At the end of the rope was tied a glittering golden object. As soon as the object appeared, a familiar and strange aura came to her face, and it flew out of Master Fang Yuan's hand in an instant as if it had become a spirit.
It flew into Shen Wangshu's arms. She subconsciously reached out to catch it and took a closer look - this glittering golden thing seemed to be a pair of small horns of some animal.
...What kind of animal's horns can glow, and is worthy of this mysterious Master Fang Yuan to specially tell her a fortune?
Shen Wangshu: "Isn't this the young character that my husband replaced?"
Master Fang Yuan nodded and said, "That's right." Then he waited for her to ask questions.
Shen Wangshu thought for a moment, and quickly connected this person with the wandering doctor who appeared when Chen Ting first transformed when he was a child: “That bottle of medicine that can suppress delay was prepared by you”
"yes."
After the little horn came down from Master Fang Yuan, he seemed to have some subtle changes. She didn't know if it was Shen Wangshu's illusion, but she always felt that Master Fang Yuan now seemed to have some kind of indescribable fierce temperament. Just as she was about to take a closer look, he took out a green jade pendant from somewhere and put it on without changing his expression, and that wonderful feeling disappeared again.
"I'm not a proper doctor, so I can't prescribe the most effective medicine, but the most important raw material is in your hands now. I believe you have already figured it out." Master Fang Yuan said, "This thing has helped me a lot over the years. I've carried it with me throughout the world and accumulated a lot of merit, so I don't owe it to him."
"I'm giving you this thing. It's the only way in the world from now on... From now on, your husband's life and death will be in your hands."
