In the nunnery.
When the old nun heard Yang Xuan requesting to see Master Zhiguang, she couldn't help but take another look at him.
Master Zhiguang is a special existence in their nunnery.
I came here more than ten years ago and have never left since then, and have never had contact with outsiders.
Only people in their nunnery can see it.
When she first came, the abbot saw that her temperament and conversation were extraordinary, and he knew that her identity was not simple.
I also knew in my heart that such a person should not stay in their small nunnery.
So I inquired about its origin, but found nothing.
Later, as time passed and there was no trouble, everyone in the nunnery accepted her.
Since then, he has lived here forever.
There is also an additional Master Zhiguang in the nunnery.
"Donor, please forgive me, Master Zhiguang never sees outsiders."
The old nun apologized.
"Why is this?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Even a poor nun doesn't know." The old nun shook her head.
"Then please ask the mage to tell me something." Yang Xuan retreated and asked for the next best thing.
"Okay." The old nun did not refuse.
"I wonder what the donor wants to say?"
"Well... Just ask her, will she still see the stars at night?" Yang Xuan pondered for two seconds and then said.
"Okay, the poor nun will definitely bring him." the old nun said.
At the same time, I also had a guess in my mind.
"Then I'll bother the mage."
Yang Xuan said, and then waited on the spot.
The old nun made a Buddhist salute, turned around and went to the back of the main hall.
She came outside a Zen room and knocked on the door.
"Junior sister, are you here?"
"Sister, please come in."
A soft voice came from the meditation room.
Hearing the sound, the old nun gently opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he caught his eye, he saw an extremely beautiful woman sitting cross-legged on the couch, meditating, with a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
Although he is wearing a gray monk's robe, it is difficult to conceal his aloofness. (Nuns wear monk’s robes, which are mainly gray and are called Haiqing or Ziyi.)
This person is Master Zhiguang.
"What's the matter with Senior Sister? But the fields need manpower?"
Master Zhiguang opened his eyes, looked at the old nun and asked.
They farm and support themselves here, no matter who they are, they have to work.
"neither."
"A donor came from outside and said he wanted to see you."
said the old nun.
"Senior sister should know that I never see outsiders." Master Zhiguang said calmly.
"I know, I told him."
"He asked me to bring you another sentence." The old nun said.
"What words?" Master Zhiguang asked.
"Can you still see the stars at night?" the old nun repeated the original words.
At the same time, he was also observing Master Zhiguang's reaction to verify whether his guess was true.
As expected, after hearing this, Master Zhiguang's body froze slightly.
"Sure enough!" the old nun thought to herself.
She just said that the benefactor outside looked like a noble person, but their nunnery was inaccessible and could almost be said to be isolated from the world.
What noble person would come to them to worship Buddha?
And made up an excuse to go on a trip.
The old nun was not in a hurry to urge Master Zhiguang. She was just a messenger, and it was Master Zhiguang who had the final say on how to reply.
At this moment, Master Zhiguang couldn't help but fall into memories.
When her father, whom she loved most when she was a child, passed away, she sat alone under the eaves wiping her tears.
At that time, she was very panicked and felt very insecure.
She felt like she was sinking into darkness.
However, at this moment, he dispelled all the darkness with his gentle light.
He said: After people die, they will become stars in the sky.
She looked at the starry sky every starry night.
He said: Of course I will protect you!
She was happy for a long time.
Later, she said: Senior brother, it seems that we accidentally lost our heads together!
Later, a nun named Zhiguang appeared in the world.
Phew~
Master Zhiguang took a deep breath and woke up from his memories.
There is no Xu Miaojin in this world, only Zhiguang... She said to herself in her heart.
Then his eyes became calm.
He said to the old nun on the side: "Sister, please tell the donor outside."
"A poor nun is a monk. He only has Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in his heart and doesn't know how to look at the stars."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The old nun nodded, turned and left the meditation room.
Master Zhiguang closed his eyes again, recited the scriptures silently, and turned the beads in his hand.
However, no matter how hard she tried, her heart... could not calm down.
…
"Master, did Master Zhiguang say anything?"
Seeing the old nun approaching, Yang Xuan quickly stepped forward to greet her.
"The donor, Master Zhiguang said that she is a monk. She only has Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in her heart and does not know how to look at the stars."
Upon hearing this, the expectant expression on Yang Xuan's face instantly froze.
It went on like this for a while before he came back to his senses.
"Mage, please forgive me!" He apologized.
"No problem!"
"I wonder if the donor has anything else he needs to tell Master Zhiguang?"
"If not, please come back!"
"I understand." Yang Xuan said, turned around and walked out of the nunnery door.
This result was not beyond Yang Xuan's expectation. If he came, the other party would be willing to see him and go back with him.
Then she is no longer the junior sister she is familiar with.
"Master Hou."
"Didn't Miss Xu come out with you?"
The secret guard guarding outside saw Yang Xuan coming out and hurriedly stepped forward.
Then he looked behind him and asked again when he didn't find anyone else.
"Are you really sure that my junior sister is here?" Yang Xuan looked at the secret guard and asked.
"The villain guarantees with his life that Master Zhiguang is Miss Xu." The secret guard raised his finger and said firmly.
"I don't mean to blame you."
"I will stay here for the next few days. You can go down the mountain first." Yang Xuan said.
Even though he could take away his junior sister by force, that was not his original intention.
On the contrary, it will make things worse.
The junior sister is a very independent woman, and it is difficult for anyone to change the things she decides.
"Master Hou, let me stay and take care of you!" the secret guard said after hearing Yang Xuan's words.
"No need, I can take care of myself."
Yang Xuan refused.
"If you stay, I might have to take care of you."
Yang Xuan's ability to survive in the wild can be said to be unparalleled in the Ming Dynasty, no one can match him.
Although the secret guard members were not bad either, they were far behind compared to him.
The secret guard was very embarrassed by Yang Xuan's words.
Although I am not as good as the Marquis, I can't call myself a burden!
"Then please take care of yourself, Lord Marquis. I will take my leave first!"
The secret guard gave up and left.
His level is too low to change Yang Xuan's decision.
Just obey.
"Don't sneak back just after you left. No one knows what accidents may happen in this mountain."
"If something happens, I won't be able to save you in time."
The secret guard was also a little embarrassed when Yang Xuan told him what he was thinking.
He originally thought that after disappearing from Yang Xuan's sight, he would secretly return and protect him secretly.
That's why he agreed to leave simply and neatly.
But when Yang Xuan said this, he had no choice but to go down the mountain.
"Master Hou, take care!"
This time, he said goodbye seriously.
"Um."
Watching the secret guards leave, Yang Xuan began to look for a suitable place to build a shelter nearby.
Since I can't leave in a short time, I definitely need a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
There are only women in the nunnery, and I, as a man, are not suitable to stay there.
There is a spring behind the nunnery, which ensures the nunnery's domestic water supply.
The water flowing out also formed a small stream, flowing from the side of the nunnery to the bottom of the mountain.
