"Monk, why are you like this?" Wang Wenzuo stretched out his hand to help Huicong up and said with a smile: "It's your own fate that you can become enlightened. I just happened to meet you, so why thank me!"
Wang Wenzuo's words were in line with the Buddhist theory of fate. Hearing the unspeakable agreement in Huicong's ears, he couldn't help but laugh.

dili city
Gu Shiyun opened her eyes, and through the translucent gauze, she could see the mottled lines on the granite dome, which reminded her of the story she heard from her nurse when she was a child:
The story is about a king who also lived in a house like this: thick walls made of huge stones, a towering dome, slender beams of light from tall windows, and long, narrow and dark corridors. The palace was built with fear. The king learned from the shaman that if the blood of three hundred pairs of boys and girls were used to mix the plaster of the palace, the wall would be indestructible.
——At that time, the nanny deliberately lowered her voice, and Ghost Room Yun had to lean in to hear the following words clearly. The cruel king did as the shaman said, and as a result, the parents of those poor boys and girls opened the city for the king’s enemies. He locked the king and all his children in the palace, set fire to them and burned them to death.
Since then, no one dared to live in the palace. Every night, people passing by could hear bursts of wailing - it was said that it was the king and his children who were burned to death.
Oni Shiyun still remembers how scared she was at that time. For many days in a row, she would jump up when hearing the slightest sound, even when eating.
Until one day when Onimuro Fukunobu found out about it, he immediately ordered the nanny to be stripped naked, beaten with a whip, and driven out of the house. Then he told Onimuro Yun that no fool would use human blood mixed with mortar to build a house, nor was he imprisoned in The king and his children who were burned to death in the palace were all made up by the stupid woman herself. Even so, it took a long time for Oni Shiyun to return to normal.
Looking back now, Oni Shiyun just wanted to laugh. She was so stupid to be so frightened by such a simple ghost story.
But if this story is true, then I really envy the parents of those children. At least they took revenge on the king who killed their children. Thinking of this, Oni Shiyun glanced at the cradle aside, and she seemed to be confused. The two- to three-month-old baby was sleeping soundly with its fingers in its mouth.
"This is Fuyu Fengzhang's child!" Gui Shiyun's eyes flashed, sometimes full of love, and sometimes flashing with fierceness. There seemed to be two voices shouting in her heart, and she was going crazy.
"Miss!"
Acheng walked in from outside the door. She put the porridge bowl and spoon on the tray on the table: "Come and eat the fish porridge, otherwise it will be fishy when it gets cold!"
Acheng interrupted the tug-of-war in Gui Shiyun's mind. She walked to the table and sat down, took a mouthful of fish porridge and asked, "Acheng, what's the news from the outside world?"
"I only heard that Fuyu Fengzhang is going to send troops to Sichuan!" Acheng said while tidying up the sheets.
"It was the same news last time!" Gui Shiyun angrily swept the porridge bowl down on the ground: "A Cheng, did you really inquire about it seriously?"
Acheng was so frightened that he knelt down: "I'm sorry, miss, I've tried my best, but there is very little information here in Dili City, and I can't get any information!"
Gui Shiyun bit her lips, ashamed of her behavior just now: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry at you, but, I don't know why, I just can't control myself." She hugged Acheng and looked at the other person's face. Eyes: "Can you forgive me? Forgive me for what I just did!"
"Ayun, Ayun!" Acheng gently called Guishiyun's nickname: "You were just born by your side, how could I blame you?"
The two hugged each other like this. After a few minutes, Gui Shiyun felt that she had not been so relaxed for a long time. She broke away from Acheng's arms, ran to the end of the bed, opened a large wooden box, and said to Acheng: "Acheng , you come to choose a piece of jewelry as my apology to you!"
"How can that be done!" Acheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Those jewelry are in line with your status, I am just a maid, how can I take it!"
Ghost Room Yun did not give up. She pulled Acheng to the box: "Fuyu Fengzhang has now made that Japanese woman his queen. I am nothing now, so I have no identity. These jewelry items belong to me." Yes, I can give it to whomever I want. Acheng, if you don’t take it, you won’t forgive me!”
"Okay!" Acheng saw Ghost Shiyun say so and had to accept her kindness. He saw that the wooden box was full of exquisitely made bracelets, anklets, hairpins, steps, earrings, and necklaces. The materials of There were gold, silver, various gemstones, and pearls, and I couldn't help but be dazzled for a while.
"Miss, these jewelry are too expensive, I don't deserve them!" Acheng said hesitantly.
"Whatever is worthy or unworthy, if you don't want to wear it yourself, just keep it as a family heirloom for your children!" Oni Shiyun smiled and took out a pearl necklace from the wooden box and put it on for Acheng. Top: "A Cheng, what do you think of this pearl necklace? Your skin is white and it matches you perfectly!"
Acheng looked in the mirror and shook his head in embarrassment: "This necklace is a good thing, but my chest is too flat. Should I change it to something else?"
"That's fine!" Gui Shiyun didn't insist, and the two started picking out the wooden boxes. Acheng saw that the jewelry Gui Shiyun took out became more and more precious, and couldn't help but feel frightened secretly. He became even more afraid to choose, and just wanted to Looking for a slightly cheaper one, I just accepted the lady's kindness.
"Hey! What's in this stone box?" Ghost Room Yun suddenly asked.
"Look at the shape of this stone box, which is quite simple. It should contain an ancient relic!" Acheng replied in an uncertain tone. At the bottom of the box, he saw a stone box about a foot square, which was highlighted by the surrounding jewels. Especially crude.
"A Cheng, please help us take out this stone box and see what's inside?"
A few minutes later, a stone box was placed on the desk next to the window. On the surface of the stone box were several lines of Sanskrit scriptures, but there were no other decorations. Gui Shiyun subconsciously held her breath. She had a hunch that the stone box should not contain jewelry, but something more important.
"Miss!" Acheng's voice woke up Ghost Room Yun, and she nodded: "Open it!"
There is no mechanism on the stone box. Acheng inserted the dagger into the gap of the stone box and pried it hard. The lid of the box opened. Inside was a copper box full of patina. Acheng put down the dagger and groped on the copper box. Yes, I found a trigger, twisted it hard, and heard a soft sound. The copper box opened. Gui Shiyun looked around and saw a silver box inside. Acheng found the trigger on the silver box again and opened it, only to find a gold box inside.
