Villains of the Heavens: The Empress Dowager Is Pregnant

Chapter 38 Father and Son Reunion

Outside Qingliang Temple.

The two Taoist priests walked out quickly, beckoning.

"Master, the monks at Qingliang Temple still haven't opened the temple gate."

The one-armed nun looked cold and said indifferently.

"Kill in."

As soon as these words came out, the two Taoist priests turned around and strode out.

After a while, a cry of killing came from the monastery.

These Taoist priests disguised as people from the rivers and lakes naturally didn't know any rules, so they rushed into Qingliang Temple in a swarm.

Not long after, a dozen or so monks of suitable age were all escorted out.

The one-armed nun looked at each of them, and saw that the faces of these monks were crooked and noses were slanted, and none of them looked normal.

"Damn! These monks are not Shunzhi!"

"But Master, we have searched the entire Qingliang Temple, and there are no more monks in the temple."

"There are no more monks?"

An unknown fire arose in the one-armed nun's heart, and when he was about to get angry, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

She suddenly raised her head and looked around, just in time to see people from the Jianghu who were dressed as Taoist priests all over the courtyard.

"Oops! The golden cicada's plan to escape the shell! Shunzhi must have changed his Taoist robes and escaped dressed as a Taoist priest!"

at the same time.

On the mountain road of Mount Wutai.

Two Taoist priests, one old and one young, were walking down the mountain in a panic.

The two ran all the way to the foot of the mountain.

The old Taoist lifted the crown of the Five Mountains, revealing a monk's head with ring scars.

When Wei Xiaobao saw this posture, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Master Xingzhi, you..."

"I'm really ashamed. The old monk has not traveled far for a long time, and this short section of mountain road has made me so embarrassed."

Wei Xiaobao couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, but he also knew that Emperor Shunzhi was pampered.

Even if he became a monk in this Qingliang Temple, he would live in a separate courtyard, so naturally he would not do any hard work on weekdays.

But there must be a reason for the sudden appearance of so many Taoist priests right now, and the people behind the scenes will never give up easily.

Wei Xiaobao tried to persuade him.

"Master Xingchi, there is something strange about this matter, I think it's better for us to run as far away as possible."

"That's all, life and death are destined. The sins of the previous life, and the calamity of this life, it seems that I have not been able to achieve the right result in these years."

While speaking, Shunzhi sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped his hands together and made a Buddha salute.

"Wei Benefactor, you have come all the way to find me, and I already understand his intentions. You can return to your life with peace of mind during this trip to Mount Wutai."

"Master Xingchi, if you don't go back with me, I won't be able to do business."

"Amitabha~"

Shunzhi didn't say much, and stopped talking after saying a Buddha's name.

Looking at this posture, Wei Xiaobao said he was shocked and anxious, but there was nothing he could do for a moment.

This monk, he can't beat him, and he can't scold him.

Now that Shunzhi just won't leave, Wei Xiaobao really doesn't know how to persuade him.

At this time, the Taoist priests who were causing trouble on Mount Wutai probably also found that the two of them had already run down the mountain, and they might catch up in a while.

Wei Xiaobao was originally a living treasure who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but now he was even more guilty.

In desperation, he turned his head and walked down the mountain two steps.

Shunzhi sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and concentrated, as if resigned to his fate.

It's just that he didn't want to, just as Wei Xiaobao was about to retreat, a group of people walked over at the foot of the mountain.

Although the clothes of these people are very simple and low-key, but looking at their figure and gait as they walk, there is an unusual majesty faintly.

Wei Xiaobao was a little surprised at first by the figure and temperament of these people, which was very different from the general people in Jiang Hu.

Unexpectedly, when he looked intently at this moment, he saw that the leading man was riding a tall horse, his aura was imposing, and he faintly had the aura of a dragon among men.

When Wei Xiaobao came back to his senses, he immediately kowtowed on the spot and said loudly.

"emperor!"

"Little Guizi?! Why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Emperor Kangxi Xuan Ye who was visiting in Weifu.

He has always been very concerned about Shunzhi, Chen Xuan, the Oboi, showed weakness several times before, and during this period of time he has been using the excuse of planning a wedding with Princess Jianning, so he has never been seen.

Kangxi's skills were outstanding, and he took this opportunity to pull out many of Oboi's henchmen.

Now that the affairs in the court are basically arranged, he went out in a low-clothes and came to the vicinity of Wutai Mountain to see the situation in person.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Wei Xiaobao and Shunzhi escaping from Qingliang Temple.

Wei Xiaobao just didn't run very far, although he really wanted to run away before, but now that Kangxi is here, he immediately stiffened up.

"Report to the emperor, Xiao Guizi lived up to the emperor's orders and found..."

Before he finished speaking, he just wanted to point out the location of Master Xingchi to Kangxi, but he didn't expect that Master Xingchi, who was out of breath just now, had already left.

"Eh, what about people?"

Without waiting for Wei Xiaobao to say a few more words, Kangxi chased after him with big strides.

The Ouchi guards in the palace wanted to accompany him, but they didn't want Kangxi to wave his hand.

"You don't have to follow."

"Yes!"

The Ouchi guard had no choice but to stay where he was.

Kangxi chased all the way into the woods. After all, he was young and strong, and his footsteps were extremely fast. After walking two steps, he saw the back of a monk in front of him.

"Father... Father Emperor!"

"..."

Shunzhi paused, then spoke softly.

"The poor monk's Dharma name is ignorance."

As soon as this remark came out, Kangxi's eyes were filled with tears. He lived in the deep palace for a long time since he was a child, and he learned the emperor's mind, the way of being a king, and he had little contact with Shunzhi.

But after all, there is a deep bond of flesh and blood, especially at this time, Kangxi is a young emperor in his teens and 20s. He is full of ambitions for the future and has the heart of showing off young people.

Now that he has found his father who is a reclusive monk, Kangxi feels sour, sweet, bitter, and bitter, with mixed feelings, and he can't say anything for a while, only tears in his eyes, and he remains silent.

Shunzhi heard that there was no sound behind him, hesitated for a moment, and said that he was ordained to become a monk, and he didn't care about the worldly fate.

But just now Kangxi led the crowd to come, mighty and energetic, still touched Shunzhi's heart, and slowly turned to look at Kangxi.

Just looking at each other, Kangxi couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, he rushed over with mixed feelings of grief and joy, hugged Xingchi's feet, and burst into tears.

It has been more than ten years since I saw my father again when I was young.

Seeing this, Xing Chi burst into tears, touched Kangxi's head as he did when he was a child, and sighed.

"Children, idiots..."

Between these words, I don't know whether they are talking about himself or Kangxi.

There was silence in the forest, and the reunion of the father and son after a long absence was a feeling of gratitude.

But Shunzhi has been a monk for many years, and it can be said that he has cultivated the Buddha nature. Now that he has calmed down, he speaks softly.

"The meeting between you and me today has greatly hindered my practice. I can't come here again after this."

Kangxi didn't make a sound.
