While Tie Xuan was performing his own tasks, he also made more frequent secret visits to Huangzhuang and ordinary Zhuangzi.
Through comparison, Tie Xuan felt more and more that the current agricultural tax system in Ming Dynasty needed to be reformed.
…
At the same time, Jiang/Xi.
Yang Xuan has been staying outside the nunnery for more than a month.
For more than a month, he would burn incense to the Bodhisattva every day.
It's just that he still hasn't seen his junior sister.
However, they exchanged many words through the old nun, and the two of them established a connection.
At the same time, everyone in the nunnery also knew that Master Yang Xuan and Master Zhiguang were originally brothers and sisters.
It was only after something happened that I chose to become a monk.
Everyone in the nunnery could also feel that neither of them came from ordinary families.
So there are a lot of speculations about what happened.
"Master, Master Zhiguang still doesn't want to see me?"
It was another day after offering incense, Yang Xuan asked the old nun.
"Donor, please come back. Didn't you already know the result?"
said the old nun.
Yang Xuan said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the nunnery, returning to his sanctuary.
His appearance now is completely different from when he came here. He has an unkempt beard and his clothes were torn by branches and other things because he was hunting in the forest.
After Yang Xuan left, the old nun went to talk to Master Zhiguang again.
"He still went back to his thatched cottage."
"I understand, senior sister."
Master Zhiguang sighed softly.
Then he persuaded: "Junior sister, I think it's better to meet in person!"
"For more than a month, your mind has been in chaos."
"This is enough to prove that you still miss him."
"And you didn't shave your head or take the ordination. If you want to return to secular life, you can do it at any time."
"Of course, I'm not advising you to return to secular life."
"I just hope you can settle these matters as soon as possible."
"Whether you want to return to secular life in the future or continue to practice pure cultivation, there will always be a result."
"If you are like this, how can you clean up your cultivation?"
After saying these words, the old nun left.
Master Zhiguang was left alone to ponder.
After a long time, she found a gold lock, a gold step shaker and a jade step shaker from the bottom of the box.
These were the only things she brought with her when she was a family.
"Senior brother, senior brother, why are you doing this? I have already hid here and will not disturb you. Why do you still come to me?"
She caressed the three things in her hands and whispered to herself.
…
The next day.
Yang Xuan finished offering incense as usual and was about to leave when the old nun suddenly stopped him.
"Donor, please stay!"
"Mage!"
"Master Zhiguang has agreed to see you," the old nun said.
"Really?" Yang Xuan's eyes lit up.
"It's true. Please come with the nun, please," the old nun said.
Then Yang Xuan was brought outside a Zen room.
"Master Zhiguang is inside," the old nun said, pointing to the meditation room.
"Thank you, Master!" Yang Xuan saluted and thanked.
The old nun nodded slightly, turned and left.
Yang Xuan stood at the door of the Zen room, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and was about to knock on the door.
But he noticed his current appearance.
He quickly raised his hand to clean it up, but without a mirror, he didn't know if it would be useful.
Just think of it as psychological comfort!
Taking a deep breath, Yang Xuan took steps.
At this moment, he felt that every step he took was important.
Place your palms on your heart and calm down several times.
Only then did he work up the courage to knock on the door.
"Please come in!" The voice in the meditation room was cold, completely different from the clear and sweet voice before.
Creak!
Yang Xuan gently opened the door.
Stepped in.
He finally saw the woman meditating on the couch.
"Little junior sister..."
"Donor, there is only one nun named Zhiguang here, not your junior sister." The cold voice sounded again, and Yang Xuan met a pair of calm eyes.
But he didn't know that the person in front of him was trying his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart.
Some feelings will not pass with the passage of time, but will become stronger as time brews.
If she could really let go of the past and no longer miss the world of mortals, she wouldn't keep the golden lock and the two steps until now.
"Little junior sister, the Hongwu Dynasty is over. Now is the Yongle Dynasty. The queen is the senior sister. Those bloody storms have passed." Yang Xuan spoke slowly, never taking his eyes away from the person in front of him.
Over the past ten years, the junior sister has changed a lot.
She has become more mature, and her temperament has changed from being full of energy as a girl to now giving people a sense of purity and peace.
"Donor, everything you said has nothing to do with the poor nun." The junior sister replied calmly.
But it made Yang Xuan feel even more bitter.
"Little junior sister, come back with me. Junior brother and the others miss you very much."
"All these years, they never gave up looking for you."
"It's Senior Sister, she is also looking for you."
Yang Xuan spoke again to persuade.
"Then you go back and tell them that everything is fine with the poor nun."
Yang Xuan sighed inwardly. He knew that such persuasion was useless now.
So he changed his approach and talked about what happened over the years.
Including the Battle of Jingnan, he and people from the Xu family who were related to Zhu Di were imprisoned.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, their titles and status were restored.
"You remember Huizu's son, right? He was the little guy who liked to follow you and call you sister-in-law."
"His name is Xu Qin now, and he just got married not long ago."
"My wife's name is He Miaolian. She comes from a scholarly family and is a good girl."
As Yang Xuan spoke, he quietly observed the reaction of the younger junior sister.
The latter was already entranced.
Sure enough, she simply couldn't let go of the family love in this world.
"Every year when I go to see my teacher during the Qingming Festival to worship my ancestors, I will talk to him about you."
"I also told the teacher before coming to see you this time."
"Tell me to take you back and let him take a look again."
"Daddy..." The younger junior sister couldn't help but speak out, her eyes had turned red, which made people feel distressed.
"Little junior sister, go back and take a look!"
"Everyone misses you so much." Yang Xuan said softly.
He didn't know how to describe his current mood. In short, he felt very uncomfortable.
"No, the poor nun is now an outsider."
She shook her head and refused.
"If you want to practice pure cultivation, that's okay. There are many temples in the capital that can accommodate you."
"We won't disturb your Qingxiu, we just want to be closer to you."
"Little junior sister, go back!"
"Donor, please come back. This poor nun is going to practice Zen." The little junior sister stretched out her hand and signaled.
"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow." Yang Xuan left a word, got up and left.
He knew that it would not be easy to persuade the junior sister to go back.
However, just after he left, the junior sister could no longer pretend.
She huddled in the corner alone, sobbing softly.
…
In fact, I really don’t know how to write this plot, ahhh, my head is going to explode!
