Gu Qingzhou always acted slowly and logically, and the same was true for Mrs. Hirano.

When she went out, she deliberately left a mark, and Si Xingpei's people would know where she went.

She didn't ask why the guards in the house had changed, and she didn't ask what kind of demon she was suddenly chanting to Ah Yu. She seemed to be very sensual and followed Mrs. Hirano to eat fasting and chant Buddha.

That night, Si Xingpei went up the mountain.

Seeing that Gu Qingzhou was wearing a plain linen jacket, his hair was also docile and low, and his body was plain and clean, without any decoration, his eyes lit up.

This kind of Gu Qingzhou is really good-looking, just like a gemstone after removing impurities, it is pure and beautiful.

Mrs. Hirano also saw him.

"Young Marshal Si, do you want to watch tomorrow's ritual?" Mrs. Hirano asked him.

Si Xingpei said: "Since I have gone up the mountain, of course I have to do my best, I also believe in Buddhism." ”

Mrs. Hirano's men were beaten.

Si Xingpei acted ruthlessly, no different from a butcher, and dared to claim to believe in Buddhism, and he was not afraid of the Buddha's guilt?

Mrs. Hirano bowed reverently.

Gu Qingzhou also bowed.

Si Xingpei took the futon, sat next to Gu Qingzhou, and asked her quietly for a while: "What's the matter?" ”

"Ah Yu's evil has entangled us, and there is nothing wrong with chanting the Buddha." Gu Qingzhou's tone was light, and he was never too concerned.

Si Xingpei was puzzled.

How could Gu Qingzhou believe this kind of thing? She was suddenly so silent, which made Si Xingpei very curious.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" He asked again.

Gu Qingzhou shook his head and smiled at him: "No need, the mountain is quiet, I just want to cultivate my body, I can't calm down when you're here." ”

Si Xingpei smiled.

Gu Qingzhou became more and more bold and casual, not as awkward as before.

That's all it is good for.

That night, Si Xingpei's adjutant sneaked in from the back mountain.

There are three groups in total, one group communicates with the abbot, and is among the miscellaneous disciples of the Japanese layman; One group inspects the monks in the temple, and one group inspects the Buddha statues.

Where there are people, there is no absolute cleanliness and transparency, and the same is true for temples.

found some things, although those things almost ruined the purity of the Buddhist Gate, they would not hurt Gu Qingzhou.

So, before dawn, only two of Si Xingpei's people remained, and the others went down the mountain silently, as if they had never appeared.

When I got up early, the sun was shining, and Si Xingpei and Gu Qingzhou ate vegetarian food together.

Mrs. Hirano finished eating first, and went to the front hall with Cai Changting, where Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei were grinding.

Si Xingpei asked her in a low voice, "Are you really not leaving?" ”

"I promised." Gu Qingzhou said, "Really, fasting and meditating make my heart feel a lot more empty. I need another way to relax by chance, don't worry, okay? ”

Si Xingpei nodded.

He made sure that he was okay, participated in the morning puja, and ate another vegetarian meal at noon before going down the mountain.

Gu Qingzhou is very religious.

The afternoon ritual continued, and Gu Qingzhou kept following Mrs. Hirano's side, with a more pious attitude than Mrs. Hirano, and prayed for Ah Yu wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Hirano asked her, "Have you ever dreamed of her?" ”

"Nope." Gu Qingzhou said.

Mrs. Hirano was stunned, and her heart became irritable inexplicably.

In the face of Gu Qingzhou, she couldn't be calm. Gu Qingzhou said a few words casually, and she could always be extremely resentful and angry in her heart.

Like at this moment.

Mrs. Hirano knew that this was Gu Qingzhou's strategy.

"I thought you'd dream of her a lot." Mrs. Hirano said this lightly.

Gu Qingzhou was very serious, shook his head, and said as if regretful: "Ah Yu regarded herself as a princess at the beginning, and she was not kind to me. I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, and I have a vague impression of her. ”

At the same time, she said, "When she was dying, she still wanted to harm me, but I didn't dare to think about it, for fear that I would hate her when I thought of her." She was dead, and I decided to forgive her, so I rarely thought about her, and now I am finally at peace. ”

Mrs. Hirano had a stalk in her throat, and she couldn't go up or down.

She also wanted to use Ah Yu's death to increase Gu Qingzhou's burden, so as to achieve the goal she wanted.

Unexpectedly, Ah Yu has never been Gu Qingzhou's demon.

As soon as she said it, Ah Yu was sorry for her.

Mrs. Hirano thought about it, it was true, Ah Yu was indeed planning to kill Gu Qingzhou.

But she is dead, the dead are respected, and Ah Yu died because of calculating Gu Qingzhou, shouldn't Gu Qingzhou feel guilty?

But Gu Qingzhou is not.

At this moment, Mrs. Hirano always felt that Gu Qingzhou was very much like her: she was wolf-hearted and selfish.

This kind of character is rare, and before Lady Hirano attacked, her maiden family sent someone to train her.

The court is the purgatory of the devil, and if there is a trace of weakness in the heart, there will be no place to die, and even the family will be affected.

For the sake of herself and the prosperity of the family, Mrs. Hirano learned those methods, and her heart was polished to be invincible.

She was very proud, until she saw a similar personality in Gu Qingzhou.

At this time, she realized how annoying a woman with such a personality was!

How could Gu Qingzhou have friends?

"Qingzhou, you are so affectionate at such a young age, E-Niang is very surprised." Mrs. Hirano said.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Thin affection? ”

"You're too kind to your sister." Mrs. Hirano's heart ached.

Gu Qingzhou was silent, and after a long time, she said, "Oh." ”

One word, like ice water poured down, almost crushed Mrs. Hirano.

Gu Qingzhou is like this, no matter how much she accuses, she is indifferent, why do you bear with her?

Mrs. Hirano didn't want to talk to Gu Qingzhou anymore.

In the evening, he still had a meal with the abbot, and the abbot and several senior monks were there.

They were all unfathomable, and they didn't speak casually, making Gu Qingzhou mistakenly think that this was a simple dinner and a simple ritual.

Until after the meal, the abbot invited Gu Qingzhou's mother and daughter to the front hall, and in the Buddhist hall with ten thousand lights, the abbot asked Gu Qingzhou: "Miss Gu, do you believe in Buddhism?" ”

Gu Qingzhou knew that the problem was coming, but his expression did not move at all, and he said lightly: "I believe in too many things, mixed and complicated, and I am not a pure believer, so I dare not answer your words." ”

Excuse yourself cleanly.

The abbot said: "Miss Gu doesn't trust it deeply. The Dharma is 21 days, is Miss Gu willing to live in the temple for 21 days and ask the poor monks to explain the Dharma? ”

Gu Qingzhou shook his head: "My heart is too heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to live for so long." ”

The abbot said, "What about the three or five days?" ”

"This one does." Gu Qingzhou smiled and agreed.

The abbot breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Gu Qingzhou still didn't quite understand Mrs. Hirano's intentions. It's just that she also needs a little time and clarity to think about the problems she has encountered recently.

The temple is an excellent place to live, Gu Qingzhou's thinking was quite smooth yesterday, and it is the same today.

The silence did not allow Gu Qingzhou to concentrate, but it was noisy all around, and her contemplation of sitting alone in it made her spirit more concentrated.

Meditation at this time is very important to her.

Gu Qingzhou really stayed in the temple for five days.

Si Xingpei went up the mountain once the next day and said a few words to Gu Qingzhou.

When the two of them hid and muttered, Mrs. Hirano would also discuss with Cai Changting.

"Madame, don't you really need to tell her?" Cai Changting asked.

Mrs. Hirano took a deep breath and said, "She doesn't want to help us. This time, even if it's her in return for being my daughter. ”

Cai Changting said: "It's better to make it clear to her." In case she doesn't agree, it's self-defeating. ”

Mrs. Hirano also knew that Gu Qingzhou was powerful, and he was so powerful that he was evil.

"Look at her." Lady Hirano said, "Nagatei, this is your only mission. ”

Cai Changting bowed.

Mrs. Hirano said again: "Changting, one-third of the time we planned has passed. ”

They were going to spend five years planning, and now more than a year has passed, and there is progress, and there is resistance.

Cai Changting privately felt that the progress was the best now, but Mrs. Hirano was not satisfied.

She was in a hurry.

Was it Ah Yu's death that made her anxious, or was her own old age making her anxious?

If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, this is the life motto that Mrs. Hirano has taught Cai Changting for more than ten years, but now she wants to break it herself.

Cai Changting's heart was clear, and he only took out three points of caution against Gu Qingzhou.

To be honest, he didn't give up hope for this incident, and even felt that Madame was doing something harmful.

Madame has her own vision, Cai Changting did not dare to disobey her, so she had to act according to her words.

Gu Qingzhou agreed to the abbot, stayed in the temple for a few days, and recited sutras to Ah Yu.

When she was about to descend the mountain, the abbot found her.

"Miss Gu, your magical powers in Sanqingguan are known to everyone in Shanxi." Abbot said.

Gu Qingzhou's eyes raised slightly, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Everyone likes ghost legends, don't they?" ”

The abbot said: "It's not like that, it's Miss Gu's magical powers. The world is in turmoil, and what is needed most at this moment is faith. And the Buddha's compassion is too desireless and unwanted, and it is no longer able to satisfy the thirst of this common being. ”

"Master, you are too pessimistic." Gu Qingzhou said, "I see that the incense in your temple is good, and there are still many believers." ”

The abbot sighed and said something difficult.

He was silent for a moment, and then asked Gu Qingzhou: "Miss Gu, you are still proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, aren't you?" ”

Gu Qingzhou bowed.

Her mind turned.

The abbot remained silent for a moment.

He should have said something, but he just wished Gu Qingzhou good health, and then left.

Gu Qingzhou was confused in his heart.

When she went down the mountain, Si Xingpei came to pick her up and asked her, "How do you feel?" ”

"Comfort." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "A lot of things were figured out at once. ”

Si Xingpei was relieved and touched her head.

He asked again, "What the hell are they doing, do you know?" ”

Gu Qingzhou saw that he had no worries, and even no doubts, so he smiled and said, "You seem to know?" ”

Si Xingpei said: "You talk about it first. ”

Gu Qingzhou shook his head.

She waited for Si Xingpei to speak and tell her what had happened.

Si Xingpei said: "It has something to do with what you did last time in Sanqingguan"

When it came to Sanqingguan, Si Xingpei was angry, hugged Gu Qingzhou over, sat on his lap, and he repeatedly warned her not to mess around this time.

"Gu Qingzhou, your life is also mine, if you dare to do anything wrong, I will stuff you back to Pingcheng." Si Xingpei warned.

Gu Qingzhou shrank his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't dare, I really don't dare." Speaking of the Sanqingguan thing, why are you angry again? The monk invited me to fast, what does it have to do with the Taoist temple? Are they going to fight? ”
