In order to build this temple, the entire peach blossom forest was cut down, leaving only a peach tree in the backyard, which is still alive today. But a few years ago, I don't know what happened, the peach tree was struck by thunder, and Shengsheng was knocked down, and now the old place has long been cleaned up, and an empty courtyard is still in the temple.

Bai Qingyu stepped into the small courtyard, and his eyes, which had always been as calm as a lake, suddenly rippled.

"Trees?"

The sound of wooden fish lingering in the remote and quiet courtyard suddenly stopped, and in an instant, a blue-gray figure walked out of the house.

When I looked closely, it was an old monk, with kind eyes and kind eyebrows, and a very faint smile on the corner of his lips, when he appeared in sight, it gave people a feeling like the wind blowing on his face. At this time, if there are other pilgrims who worship the Buddha, they will definitely exclaim. The old monk who appeared in this small courtyard was none other than the monk who had the deepest cultivation in this temple, the longest age and generation, and was also worshiped as a god in the capital of Liang State.

No one could figure out why this old monk appeared here, including Bai Qingyu, there was no such person in her memory.

The slender eyebrows like willow leaves raised slightly: "Why are you here?" ”

The small courtyard is just the most ordinary courtyard in the temple, and no one usually appears, and this old monk is too strange, as if he is waiting for someone.

The old monk's eyes reflected Bai Qingyu's figure, and he smiled again.

Many, many years ago, almost in the year the temple was built, there was a legend circulating in the neighborhood that the peach grove that had been cut down was actually a fairy's mansion, and that after the peach grove was gone, she often wandered around the neighborhood and even in the temple. There are also people who depict the appearance of the fairy in detail, and it is said that she has a face that captivates the country and the city, and she has a full head of silver hair.

The old monk of the year, the little monk did not believe this rumor at first, until one day, he was napping under the only remaining peach tree in the temple, and saw a figure in a daze.......

Decades have passed, he has changed from a little ghost to an old man in his last years, but she is still as young as ever, doesn't it explain her identity as a goblin?

The old monk lowered his face: "I'm waiting for you here." ”

Waiting for her?

These words stopped in Bai Qingyu's ears, and she only felt inexplicable, but there were too many strange people in the world, so she didn't bother to deal with this old monk. She was more concerned about the peach tree that should have been in this yard than the reason why the other party was waiting. She walked to the place where the peach tree should have been, and looked confused: "Old monk, you are so old, you must be familiar with this temple, right?" Did you know that there used to be a peach tree that had grown for many years in this yard? It was still there the last time I came, but now it'....... Was it cut down by you monks? ”

The old monk shook his head: "The donor is really joking, that peach tree is at least three hundred years old, which is longer than the existence of the temple, and there is no need to cut it down." ”

"Then why is it gone?"

The old monk couldn't help but recall an old incident many years ago, which was related to the peach tree: "A few years ago, there was a coup d'état in the Liang Kingdom, and the entire capital was involved in the war, and the temple was naturally not spared in the capital. Although there are warrior monks guarding it, they still can't hold it after all. The rebels swarmed in and raised torches to burn down the entire monastery, when they were about to make a move, when suddenly there was a thunderbolt and a thunderbolt struck the peach trees. People thought that the Buddha was angry and fled in all directions, so the temple escaped, but the peach tree was split in half and never came back to life. ”

In this way, the peach tree also saved this century-old temple.

If ordinary people hear these words, they will be shocked, and in addition to feeling the peach tree, they will have no doubts about the existence of the Buddha. Bai Qingyu is different, she came here to meet the peach tree, she doesn't care about the survival of this temple at all.

"Unexpectedly, in the end, not even a single tree was left." She lowered her eyes half-lowered, and her gaze turned in the direction where the peach tree had been, and suddenly she saw a light cyan.

Bai Qingyu's heart sank suddenly, and he took three steps and two steps to the place where the light cyan was.

Sure enough, where the peach tree had grown, a small tree was taking root and sprouting, and the light cyan that Bai Qingyu saw just now belonged to this small tree. Her eyes lit up, and she wanted to touch the delicate branches and leaves, but she couldn't bear to do it.

The old monk also stepped forward, and when he saw the green, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I really hadn't seen this little tree before, but I think it was because of the appearance of this special woman that it took root and sprouted, and even grew out of the gloomy eh.

This kind of thing sounds bizarre, but it doesn't feel strange when it is connected to the person in front of her, no matter how strange it is, it seems natural that it happened to her.

Without waiting for the old monk to sigh, Bai Qingyu waved his hand to let him out.

The old monk is also good-tempered, and not only did he not get angry when she was instructed by her, but quietly withdrew from the small courtyard.

A figure also walked towards the small courtyard, facing it, and the person hurriedly asked, "Master, have you ever seen a girl who thought she was silver-haired?" I saw her coming this way, but I couldn't find anyone! ”

The old monk raised his eyelids and glanced at the man, and pointed in the direction of the small courtyard. The man thanked him repeatedly, and ran quickly in the direction of the small courtyard.

"White Girl, White Girl......"

As the door of the small courtyard was pushed open again, a familiar figure broke into the courtyard, and then a familiar voice came. Bai Qingyu was carefully inspecting the newly grown peach tree, and was naturally annoyed by being disturbed like this! The white willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and the eyes that were as clear as a spring were a little more angry.

But the moment the intruder's face was reflected in his eyes, Bai Qingyu was stunned in place, and all his anger disappeared, only turning into confusion haunting his heart.

"Why are you here?"

The person in front of them was none other than Shen Haoran, who they had seen when they entered the Liang Kingdom, and this person should not have appeared in the capital. Now the Liang State is divided into two major forces, one side is the clan party headed by a prince, and the other side is to support the regent Shen Ming, and now the two sides are fighting against each other, just for the sake of becoming the king and defeating the king, as the prince's cronies, Shen Haoran sneaked into the capital strictly controlled by Shen Ming alone, isn't it self-defeating?

Shen Haoran didn't expect Bai Qingyu to recognize himself, just now, he was even ready to introduce himself!

The mood was excited, but in front of Bai Qingyu, Shen Haoran didn't dare to show it, and still said calmly: "I was ordered to come to the city to do something, and I will leave after a while." Originally, I just wanted to come to the temple to incense, but I didn't expect to meet the white girl here. ”

"I'm just coming to see, but you-"

In Bai Qingyu's gaze, the young general, who had always advanced and retreated moderately, suddenly showed a trace of shyness, as if he felt a little embarrassed, and he smiled and said: "I don't believe it either, it's just a hope."

The two of them said that familiarity doesn't count, after all, they haven't known each other and got along for a long time, and during that period, Bai Qingyu couldn't get used to Shen Haoran, and felt that he was an eyesore several times! Therefore, Shen Haoran was a little nervous when facing her.

In the end, it was Bai Qingyu who took the lead in breaking the silence, raised his eyelids and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"Count, count" Talking about what he wanted to say, Shen Haoran put away his attitude of being surprised to be seen by his subordinates, and said, "White girl, when do you plan to leave the capital?" ”

Bai Qingyu carefully calculated the time, and estimated that the water in the tree on the table was about to bloom, and when the time came, Feng Changqi and Yu Wuxin would definitely leave directly, and there was no need for her to continue to stay in Liang Kingdom. He replied, "That's it."

When Shen Haoran heard this, his expression seemed to be about to come, and he said after a long while: "White girl, can't you leave as soon as possible?"

How could anyone talk like that?

Bai Qingyu raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, looking confused.

Without waiting for her to ask, Shen Haoran hurriedly explained: "It's not that I want to drive you away, but it's too dangerous to continue to stay in the capital!" White girl, you are also a smart person, you must be able to feel the unusual atmosphere of the capital recently, right? This is no accident, the army is already coming this way, and it will not take a few days to attack the city! ”

Bai Qingyu's breath was suffocated.

She knew about the turbulent domestic situation in Liang Kingdom, but Bai Qingyu didn't expect the war to come so quickly, she wanted to leave the land as soon as possible, but Mu Zhongshui disagreed. Thinking of his agreement with Shen Ming, and thinking of Bai Huan, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead in Meng Liguo, and was waiting for Mu Zhongshui to go back to save his life, Bai Qingyu felt a headache!

How did everything come together!

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Haoran cautiously asked, "White girl, did you hear me?"

"I hear you." Bai Qingyu said sullenly, "I'll plan it myself, thank you for reminding me." ”

Shen Haoran began to be shy again: "It should be, it should be."

When I went out today, I just wanted to see the hundred-year-old peach tree in the temple, but now that the tree is gone, only a small one remains, so naturally there is no need to continue to look down. Thinking of what Shen Haoran said just now, Bai Qingyu just wanted to rush back to the small courtyard as soon as possible: "I'll leave first."

"White girl, are you going back?" Seeing that she got up to leave, Shen Haoran hurriedly spoke.

Bai Qingyu turned his gaze: "Everything is done, naturally I have to leave, otherwise what are you going to do here?"

"That's right......"

Seeing his somewhat gloomy expression, Bai Qingyu lowered his eyes half-lowered, and suddenly remembered the injury on his wrist: "Before leaving, thank you for your injury medicine, it's very useful."

Before the words fell, Bai Qingyu had already turned around and left.
