Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 345
But she thought about it, since the abbot of this temple sent back the earrings, he must have told Yu Wenye the ins and outs of the matter, so it was not surprising that he knew Shan Tong'er.

So I stopped thinking about it and lowered my head to wash my face.

After washing up, Yu Wenye stood up: "Let's go."

The two left the dormitory and went to the fasting hall.

Most temples enshrine the same gods and Buddhas, but the layout of the halls and even the abbots and monks will be different.For example, the Banyan Temple they used to go to frequently, because it is close to Luoyang, is a place frequented by many dignitaries, so it was built magnificently, and even the dining hall was built larger than other temples, which can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people to eat at the same time.

But in the temple in front of me, there are few people in the temple, and the dining hall is also very crowded. There are only four tables, which are only for the monks practicing here to eat.

Fortunately, it was late when they came, and the monks had already had their fast, so it was not crowded. As soon as they walked in, they saw Shen Wuzheng sitting at a wooden table by the window. Su Zhai arrived in front of him.

Shang Ruyi walked over: "Brother."

Shen Wuzheng looked up at her, smiled and said: "Get up."

Shang Ruyi nodded, Yu Wenye bowed his hands to Shen Wuzheng, and called "Brother", Shen Wuzheng only glanced at him, then at Shang Ruyi, and calmly nodded.

Then they sat down and began to fast.

After eating half a bowl of porridge, Shang Ruyi took another look around and found that there seemed to be fewer people brought by them, so she asked, "Where are Mu Xian and the others?"

Yu Wenye said: "I asked them to take turns to guard the bottom of Wanggang Village."

Shang Ruyi said: "Are you waiting for Xiao Yuansui?"

Yu Wenye raised his head, and looked at Shen Wuzheng who was sitting opposite, Shen Wuzheng said: "Based on the distance in the middle and the footsteps of the people sent by Wang Quyi, as long as Xiao Yuansui gets the news, he will set off immediately and come back. You should be able to reach Wanggang Village overnight."

Shang Ruyi's spirit shivered: "So, he will be there this evening?"

Having said that, she became a little nervous.

Although until now, she still thinks that it is a fantasy to take Wanggangzhai just by their group. After all, they have not yet figured out the true identities of the several masters in Wanggangzhai. They are not ordinary rebel leaders, nor some incompetent people in the court.

It was Xiao Yuansui!
Last time in Xingluocang, even if Yu Wenye's plan was almost flawless, he couldn't completely win over this person.

So this time, she didn't dare to take it lightly.

If Xiao Yuansui was going to Wanggangzhai at dusk today, shouldn't they be ready?
At this time, Yu Wenye said from the side: "Big brother said that if Xiao Yuansui got the news and set off as soon as he got the news, he would be able to arrive this evening."

Shang Ruyi turned her head and glanced at him, then thought about the words carefully, and came back to her senses: "But, he should be able to make some preparations, right?"

Yu Wenye nodded: "This person is not a fatuous and incompetent person."

"..."

"Since the last battle of Xingluocang, although he retreated to Wanggangzhai, he must have been separated from Wang Quyi, so this time he joined forces with Liang Shide to attack Luoyang and did not bring Wang Quyi with him; since this is the situation, Then Wang Quyi suddenly called him back to Wanggang Village at this time, how could he not be on guard?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and said: "In other words, he may have expected that Wang Quyi would attack him. In this case, he will definitely make sufficient preparations before setting off, and he may even bring back a large group of people."

"..."

"If that's the case, wouldn't that be exactly what you thought before?"

A treasure of Zuo Gong's suspected tomb aroused suspicion on both sides.

As long as Wang Quyi and Xiao Yuansui fight each other, the people in Wanggang village will kill each other, even if the whole army is not wiped out, their strength will be greatly reduced, which is exactly what they want.

Shen Wuzheng said: "But, this is what we think."

Shang Ruyi turned to look at him again.

Shen Wuzheng said: "Whether Xiao Yuansui will respond to what we think, that's unknown."

"..."

"Actually, this time, it can only be seen from the fact that Wang Quyi killed Li Wenyang. People's hearts are unpredictable. I could guess Wang Quyi's greed, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy. And Xiao Yuansui—he originally He is very smart, after all these years of experience and tempering, I am afraid that he will be smarter and more skillful than before."

"..."

"So, it's really hard to say how he will deal with Wang Quyi calling him back this time."

They can only set off a wave of events, but in the waves, where will all kinds of rootless duckweeds go? Maybe they are beaten by the waves, but it is also possible that there is also wind, rain, and all kinds of inexplicable things. factors are in play.

That's why I say - do your best and obey the destiny.

At this time, Yu Wenye who was on the side said calmly: "If you do what you can, the sky will follow."

Shang Ruyi turned to look at him, only to see Yu Wenye calmly said: "Since the situation in Wanggangzhai is complicated, then if we want to win this place, we can't just let them kill each other."

"Oh……"

Shen Wuzheng also looked at him, and when the two looked at each other, there seemed to be a sharp light in their eyes.

And at this moment, a hunched figure walked into the Zhaitang, none other than the abbot of this temple.The old monk was very old, and he walked tremblingly. He walked into the Zhaitang and looked around. He seemed to be looking for someone, but he couldn't find him, so he just let out a long sigh.

Then, he turned and walked out.

Seeing him, Shang Ruyi thought of something, got up hastily and was about to rush over.But as soon as she got up, Yu Wenye who was beside her immediately grabbed her wrist: "What are you doing?"

Seeing the two of them holding hands together, Shen Wuzheng, who was sitting across from him, had a slight twinkle in his eyes.

And Shang Ruyi was also a little flustered, but she couldn't say much, so she could only forcefully say: "I, I have something to tell the abbot, the abbot. You can eat first."

After finishing speaking, he gently wiped his hand off his wrist, then turned and walked out.

"Abbot."

Hearing this, the old monk turned his head and saw her coming, he clasped his hands together and saluted: "What's the order of the benefactor?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Abbot, yesterday's—"

The old monk looked at Shang Ruyi's ears with his chaotic gray eyes, and immediately thought of something, and said, "Female benefactor, the villain has not practiced enough and is greedy for money. Please forgive me, benefactor."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Abbot, don't say that. I gave this thing to my disciples myself. The world is difficult now, and we were the ones who disturbed your monastery. It's just a thought."

The word "difficulty in the world" seemed to speak to the old monk's heart.

He sighed a long time, and said: "Yes, but the more difficult the world is, the more peaceful people's hearts should be, otherwise, the more greedy people will be, the more chaotic the world will be."

"..."

"Furthermore, although giving is giving, the minds of bad people are not pure."

"..."

"If it wasn't for the Second Young Master, he would be on the wrong path."

Shang Ruyi listened, although he felt that what the old monk said was a bit serious, but thinking about it again, isn't it the practice of a monk to prevent the passing of time?

but--

If not the second son?
What he said was right, obviously he was the one who brought the things back to them, but it seemed like Yu Wenye did something first.

At this moment, Yu Wenye's voice came from behind: "What are you talking about?"

Looking back, he and Shen Wuzheng walked over together.As soon as he saw them, the old monk immediately bowed to them, and then said: "It's the old monk who interrupted you for your fast."

Shen Wuzheng smiled and waved his hands: "We just finished eating. By the way, I just saw that the abbot came in and seemed to be looking for someone. Who are you looking for?"

The old monk smiled wryly and said, "I'm looking for little Tu Shantonger. Because he stole food, I scolded him a few words last night, and this morning, he disappeared again."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi asked worriedly, "Where will he go?"

The old monk shook his head and said: "I don't know. Although this child has been a monk for a long time, his heart is still wild. When he arrives at the monastery, the old monk's many methods are useless. He, he will go out every two days. Running, without a trace. We all thought he was going somewhere else, but he came back by himself. Really—"

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.

But when Yu Wenye heard the words, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "The abbot means, isn't that good boy a monk in this temple?"

The old monk said: "No. This child wandered to Bi Temple a few days ago because of the war. The old monk saw him as pitiful and lonely, so he accepted him as a disciple and left him to practice under the name of Bi Temple. But he, alas—— "

This time, even Shang Ruyi was a little surprised.

She had thought that Shan Tong'er's experiences that she had heard last night were rough enough, but she hadn't expected that he had also gone through war and wandering. It's really pitiful that this child has endured so many hardships at such a young age.

Just when she felt a little sentimental and worried, Yu Wenye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Abbot Abbot, do you know where this good boy was a monk before coming here?"

Shang Ruyi turned to look at him.

The abbot, the abbot, shook his head.

He sighed and said: "Although this child usually talks a lot and eats a lot, he rarely talks about his becoming a monk."

"..."

"Speaking of which, even if he is accepted as a disciple, he still spends more time outside and less time in the temple."

"..."

"I don't worry about anything else, I'm just afraid that he won't have enough to eat, and he will steal food outside. The people outside are not like the people in the temple. They only punish him for copying scriptures and scold him. That's the old man. Afraid that he will be beaten..."

Yu Wenye said: "What the abbot means is that although he often sneaks out and spends more time than staying in the temple, he hasn't heard of him eating and being beaten outside?"

The abbot, the abbot, thought for a while and nodded: "Yes."

"Oh……"

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly, as if a light flashed in his eyes, after a while, he smiled and said: "Then, the abbot doesn't have to worry too much."

"..."

"If you think about it, he also has his own place."
