Divine Doctor Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 124 Trip to Lingyin Temple, Lilac Missing! (2)
When Princess Jingyan said that, Sun Youyou didn't force her, and only ordered Qian Momo to accompany Princess Jingyan to sit on the side, while he continued to finish the unfinished breakfast.

After breakfast, pack up your things and prepare to leave for Lingyin Temple.

The weather on this day was surprisingly good, the sky was clear and the clouds were floating, it was a good day to go out.

Lingyin Temple is located in Qiyun Mountain on the outskirts of the imperial city. It is not far or near.It takes half an hour to take a carriage.

The main hall of Lingyin Temple is built on the mountainside. It is magnificent and solemn. Looking up at the foot of the mountain, you can see towering ancient trees and dense pines and cypresses. It is a quiet Buddhist place at first glance.

Because the road leading to Lingyin Temple is inconvenient for horse-drawn carriages, you have to get off the carriage and take a sedan chair at the foot of the mountain.At the foot of the mountain, Sun Youyou and Princess Jingyan got out of the car.Sun Youyou still only accompanied Ding Xiang when she went out this time. As for Princess Jingyan, she brought a court lady and a eunuch with her, and several guards.

Considering that the maids accompanying Princess Jingyan were young, and Sun Youyou felt sorry for Ding Xiang, she hired three sedan chairs here, one for her and Princess Jingyan, and the other for Ding Xiang and the little palace maid.The remaining eunuch and a few guards were not treated so well, so they could only walk behind the sedan chair.

There are two roads leading to the mountain. One is a bluestone road dug by hand. It climbs up the steps and winds neatly. There are many pedestrians. At this moment, there are many people going up and few people going down. There are also many sedan chair bearers walking up quickly. Most of the seats were high-status ladies and wives from official families, and some were from well-to-do families.The other one is a rugged path made by pedestrians, and there are many people who take mountain climbing as a pastime.

The bearers who make a living by lifting the sedan chairs walk steadily and windily. Amidst the uninterrupted sound of "Let's go, let's go", the sedan chairs move up the mountain in about half an hour. , where the main hall of Lingyin Temple is located.

When the sedan chair settled down, Ding Xiang had already got off the sedan chair first, and quickly came to the sedan chair in which Sun Youyou was riding, and raised the sedan chair curtain.

Sun Youyou got off the sedan chair and walked out with Su's tablet covered by the black cloth in his arms.Look up at the legendary Lingyin Temple where incense is at its peak.The long vermilion wall, the resplendent glazed tiles, the majestic gate tower, and the three red gold characters of "Lingyin Temple" on the gate tower are eye-catching and solemn.In the air, a loud and full-bodied voice came faintly, "Fruit has a cause, cause has an effect, and fruit has a cause, and the cause of the plant bears the fruit... The heart is the Buddha, the Buddha is the heart, and the heart is the Buddha. Please..."

It is Master Canaan who is teaching.

Seeing the dense crowd of people outside the majestic and majestic gate, Sun Youyou turned his head and followed Princess Jingyan and others who were walking towards her, and said, "Let's go in." Finally, he reminded Ding Xiang beside him softly: "People More, pay attention when walking, don't be squeezed or stepped on by people."

Ding Xiang nodded silently.

When a group of people entered Lingyin Temple, Sun Youyou's first priority was to place Su Shi's spiritual seat, so he said to Princess Jingyan: "Princess, since you come to Lingyin Temple to pray for the emperor and concubine Jing, I still have to go to the Hall of Merit to place my mother's memorial tablet, the princess is here today, and she has made an appointment with a master in the temple, I just go to find that master, I will not accompany the princess."

Princess Jingyan was not unhappy when she heard the words, she nodded readily and said: "Jingyan made an appointment with the presiding abbot of the temple today, and it's almost time, so Jingyan will take the first step, Sister-in-law Sihuang, you arrange If it is still early for Mrs. Sun's memorial tablet, if you are interested, you may as well come and listen to the presiding abbot's lecture on Zen. Jingyan heard that the presiding abbot is a master of Buddhism. However, if the time is too late Forget it, we will have a fast meal here at noon, and then Jingyan will go to the fasting room first to wait for Sihuangsao."

"Well, good." Sun Youyou nodded, and after watching Princess Jingyan leave, he and Ding Xiang went to the Hall of Merit.

What Sun Youyou didn't know was that Princess Jingyan, who had already left, suddenly appeared from an invisible corner after she and Ding Xiang left, and inexplicably faced a very ordinary face in charge of sweeping the temple in the distance. The great monk winked, and the sweeping monk received Princess Jingyan's gaze, nodded his head, put down the sweeping tool in his hand, and then walked in the direction where Sun Youyou and Ding Xiang had just left without saying a word.

Seeing the figure of the little monk Mi disappear, Princess Jingyan couldn't help showing a treacherous smile on her lips, and she no longer saw the cute and harmless when she was with Sun Youyou earlier on her face.

Besides, when Sun Youyou, master and servant, arrived at the Hall of Merit, a young monk Mi came forward to inquire, Sun Youyou revealed his identity, and under the guidance of the little monk Mi, a master who was in charge of enshrining tablets in the Hall of Merit came out to greet him , to guide Sun Youyou on what to do.

Under the guidance of that master, Sun Youyou began to place Su's tablets step by step.A seemingly simple matter, according to what the master said, there are still many steps and procedures to follow.Sun Youyou didn't find it complicated, and patiently followed what the master said.

Ding Xiang was originally helping out on the sidelines, passing a candle or lighting an oil lamp when necessary.It's just that when the procedure was halfway through, I didn't know what was going on, and suddenly I felt cramps in my stomach.

Ding Xiang had the heart to bear it until Su Shi's memorial tablet was properly placed, but her stomach was really painful, and in that state, she probably had to go to the toilet to get relief.In desperation, he talked to Sun Youyou and walked out.

Sun Youyou originally thought that Ding Xiang would not go for a long time, half an hour at most, but he didn't want to wait until she placed Su's memorial tablet, but Ding Xiang's people still did not come back.

This made Sun Youyou feel uneasy for no reason.Did something happen to Lilac?
Thinking about it, she simply bid farewell to the master of the Hall of Merit, and asked the young monk Mi who had led her the way at the beginning where the nearest toilet to the Hall of Merit was.When the little monk Mi heard the words, he pointed out the direction to Sun Youyou, and after Sun Youyou thanked him, he ran straight there.

At first, Sun Youyou was only worried that Dingxiang might have acute enteritis and severe diarrhea, so he went there for so long.However, when she found the toilet closest to the Gongde Hall, the toilets in a row were all empty. Where would there be a figure of Lilac?

He couldn't help but asked several young monks who were on duty near the Gongde Hall, and they all shook their heads and said that they didn't see a little maid like Sun Youyou said.Now Sun Youyou's inner anxiety became more intense, and he felt that something must have happened to Ding Xiang.

Sun Youyou knew Ding Xiang's girl very well. If it hadn't been to the point where she couldn't help herself, Ding Xiang would not disappear without saying hello to her anyway.Then the only explanation is that something happened to Ding Xiang.
