The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 109
The Huguo Temple in the north of the imperial capital was a resort of the Fengnan Dynasty, and the substitute monk ordered by the current emperor Nangong Huanqin is here to become a monk.It can be said that this temple has an inseparable relationship with the royal family.

Foxiang Mountain is a big mountain in the north of the city, and the Huguo Temple is on the top of this mountain.Whether it is weekdays or leisure time, it is always very bustling and lively. Many believers will choose to come here to burn incense and pray for blessings from gods and Buddhas. Shen Haoyue's mother is one of these believers.

Looking from a distance, the temple on the top of the mountain is extremely magnificent, surrounded by curling cigarettes, like a cloud platform and a pavilion. When it is quiet, you can hear the sound of the bell ringing inside.

A carriage stopped slowly at the foot of the mountain. The driver jumped down, opened the door, helped the people in the carriage out one by one, and got down from inside, one old, two young and three women.

The old lady is Shen Haoyue's mother, Shen Su, and the two young women are Ning Yan and Lan'er.The old lady had a pious expression on her face. After getting out of the car, she clasped her palms together and bent slightly towards the top of the mountain.Lan'er was sideways to accompany them, and Ning Ningyan was behind them, holding a basket full of paper horse pilgrims.

Ning Yan raised her head and looked up to the Foxiang Mountain. The mountain was not too high, but it vaguely revealed a sense of fairy spirit. A winding path led directly to the top of the mountain, where many faithful men and women could be seen coming and going.

As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals.

"Old lady, although the mountain is not high, it may take some time to go up, why don't you go up with me and Lan'er, you can rest here." Ning Ningyan frowned and thought, the old lady is above her age, she is afraid of climbing With so many steps, the body will be overwhelmed.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen gave Ning Yan a cold look.

"Could it be that I'm so useless in your heart? Don't say too much, follow me, Lan'er, help me up." After finishing speaking, the old lady had already walked up the steps, and Lan'er looked at Ning Yanyan. Glancing at her, she gave her a slight smile, apologizing, but Ning Yan didn't care, smiled lightly, and followed the old lady up the mountain.

The cold wind was blowing, and the red leaves were flying. On this road, many faithful men and women passed by. She seemed to have discovered a pattern, that is, the people who go up the mountain usually have sad faces, while the people who go down the mountain usually have sad faces. They all looked happy, and I don't know if they got the Buddha's on-demand video.

When halfway up the mountain, Ning Yanyan turned her head again, and the carriage she was riding in had become very small.

Even though Mrs. Shen spoke very tough and her tone was domineering, she was already sweating profusely, as if she was exhausted. Ning Yanyan was trying to persuade her to take a break, but this old lady seemed to be right with her, and kept going She said that she was not tired, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, the scene in front of you is several times more prosperous than what you saw at the foot of the mountain. Before you enter the Huguo Temple, you can already smell the fragrance of heavy wood, which makes people feel a sense of reality. Also the feeling of fantasy.

After entering the temple gate, the old lady had a pious expression on her face, she kept clasping her hands together, muttering something, as if she was praying for something, although she couldn't hear what she said clearly, but Ning Yan guessed that it must be related to Shen Haoyue.

There were many people who came to offer incense, and it was the turn of three people after a long time.

Facing the Buddha, Ning Yan is also full of piety. Although she herself does not believe in any gods, ghosts and evil spirits, she does respect this religion very much.

She said secretly in her heart: "If the Buddha really has a spirit, I hope that I can help him to fulfill the wish in my heart..."

After burning the incense, she bowed again piously. As if she had finally settled her mind, she took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her forehead.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down, and it's true. When the old lady went up the mountain, she was angry or whatever. Although she was panting, it didn't take long. However, when she went down the mountain, she obviously She walked with full footsteps, holding Lan'er beside her tightly. Although Ning Yanyan wanted to go forward to help her several times, she was pushed back by the old lady. She secretly cried out in her heart, not knowing when Only the old lady can truly accept her daughter-in-law.

Halfway through the journey, the time it took was longer than the entire journey up the mountain. Lan'er was afraid that the old lady would not be able to hold on, so she proposed to take a break. This time, old lady Shen did not refuse.

There is a secluded place on the mountainside of Foxiang Mountain, which looks like a naturally carved platform, covered by huge rocks, it is a good place to rest.

Lan'er spread her brocade handkerchief on the ground, let the old lady sit on it, and she and Ning Yan leaned against a tree beside her. Although Ning Yan had lost her martial arts, it was still easy to climb the few steps of the mountain. So she didn't feel too tired, especially Lan'er, she stayed with Shen Haoyue for many years, she was good at horseback riding and archery, her body was naturally light and extraordinary.

The old lady was sitting on a rock, looking at Ning Yan complicatedly with her pensive eyes, and at the moment Ning Yan was looking at the desolate yet beautiful scenery that filled the heart and soul.

Although she doesn't like Ning Yan, but she thinks about it calmly at the moment, she is not bad. Although she has made things difficult for her for so many days, she doesn't care about it. On the contrary, she is more polite to her. Maybe I should treat her better in the future?
But when she saw Lan'er beside her, the old lady felt a bit of sadness in her heart...

Behind them is a forest, the cold wind of early winter, the leaves make a rustling sound, and occasionally one or two red leaves float.

Suddenly, a black shadow flickered in the woods, like a civet cat, silently, slowly approaching Mrs. Shen who was sitting on the stone, and secretly pinched the Five Poison Heart Nail in his hand. Madame didn't notice this...

The black shadow mask was covered with a light veil, and a sinister smile appeared on the hidden face.

When he was still a few steps away from the old lady, he suddenly raised his palm!

If this palm goes down, the highly poisonous heart-wending nail will hit old Mrs. Shen's back impartially, not to mention that the nail is highly poisonous, but this force, this wound, is enough to make the old man go back there. passed away.

However, at this moment, Ning Ningyan happened to turn her head around, she saw all this clearly, and jumped over, without thinking, she just rushed over.

Her hands were clasped firmly on the raised hands of the man in black. The man in black had a secret thought, so he pulled away and jumped aside.

"You!" Mrs. Shen seemed to lose her temper because of Ning Ningyan's weird action, but when she turned her head and saw the man in black, she was shocked and hid behind Lan'er.Lan'er had also reflected at this moment, and immediately reached for the saber at her waist, intending to attack the man in black, but her face darkened when she touched the waist, and she attacked the man in black with her empty palm in the next second.

At this time, the old lady had already understood everything, if it wasn't for Ning Yan just now, I am afraid that her old life would be lost here today.

Condensing cold light like iron, aggressive, she kept a certain distance from the man in black, staring at him firmly.

"Hahaha..." The man in black laughed wildly, and then made a strange voice. "Ning Ningyan, I never imagined that you would risk your life to protect this old woman, okay! Since you are in such a hurry, then I will send you to heaven!"
