All Heavens Return

The Lu family's residence in Bianjing city is also located in the east of the inner city. Although the scale here is a little worse than that of Chu house, it is not comparable to ordinary people. From this, we can also see the prosperity of his family.

Of course, the foundation of the Lu family is in Hangzhou, which is just another hospital. At present, Lu Wenyang is going to participate in the provincial test. Therefore, he lives here temporarily.

In the evening, Lu Ruolan had returned from Chu's house. Different from her cheerfulness when she left, she was obviously not in high mood and was absent-minded when walking.

"Yes, sir."

As soon as I got to the hospital, I suddenly heard the servant girl beside me salute. I woke him up and looked up. Isn't it my father?

"Dad... Dad, why are you here?" Lu Ruolan was a little guilty and stammered.

"What do you say?" Lu Zhongsheng asked with a calm face and a faint appearance of outbreak,

"Come on, where have you been all day?"

"There's not a whole day, only half a day."

"You..." Lu Zhongsheng almost choked. Is that the key point in my words? What I want to ask is where you went? Although the servant had told him the answer in advance, he still wanted to confirm it himself.

"Follow me to the study."

Then, without waiting for Lu Ruolan to refute, he went straight to a room.

Lu Ruolan made a face quietly, but there was no fear in her expression. With a grandmother behind her, she's not afraid of each other. What's more, he just came to Bianjing for business reasons and went back in a few days.

Of course, a good girl can't help but deal with the immediate loss. After thinking about it, she suddenly turned her head and whispered a few words to the next door servant girl. Then she took a step and went straight to the direction of the study.

"Stand there and don't sit down without my order."

As soon as I entered the study, I was going to look for a seat. Immediately I heard my father's severe scolding. Lu Ruolan's eyes turned, but she flattened her mouth and sobbed in a low voice. The tears fell as if they didn't want money.

"Cry, you still have the face to cry?" Lu Zhongsheng was furious,

"You've been spoiled by your grandmother since you were a child. You're just crazy all day. I can't and don't bother to take care of it. But why did you go to Chu house?"

"Brother Chu Feng is a close friend of my eldest brother. Why can't I go? Is it because I took a pot of bixueqing that my father blamed me so suddenly today?"

"What, you stole my wine! That's the Royal Wine given to me by the emperor Shenzong in the past. Until now, there are less than half a jar left. You... You..."

Lu Zhongsheng obviously didn't understand the matter. He suddenly became angry and had an impulse to fight. At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded, but Lu Wenyang came in time.

"Father, calm down." Lu Wenyang knew the cause and effect, and hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him.

"What's the anger? This girl is crazy. She hasn't been out of the cabinet yet. She's so broke down and will pay back in the future?" Lu Zhongsheng's remaining anger doesn't reduce. It's obvious that she's really hurt.

"Tell me, how much did you steal?"

"Just... Just a small pot?" Lu Ruolan whispered back, as if he had seen his father so angry for the first time.

"A small pot!"

Lu Zhongsheng's cheeks twitched, and there were only a few pots left. The only good thing is that he hasn't been sent out, otherwise he won't die of heartache.

"Let's not mention it for the time being. You will stay in the house during this period. You can't go out again without my order, especially in the Chu house."

"Why, brother Chu Feng is not an outsider, why can't he go?" Lu Ruolan was obviously unconvinced. If you don't let me go, you always have to give a convincing reason, otherwise why stop yourself.

"I said you can't go if you can't go. What's the matter with you, a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, always running to other people's houses? Do you want to get married after it's spread?"

"I'm not going to marry..."

Lu Ruolan whispered to herself. She didn't know if she was guilty. Her voice was much lower. However, he still stared at Lu Zhongsheng without compromising.

"What is father worried about?" suddenly, Lu Wenyang suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask clearly? I don't believe you can't think of it." Lu Zhongsheng looked at his son angrily and replied vaguely.

"Little sister, go back first. I have something to talk to my father alone."

"Come back. Anyway, I'm going to meet brother Chu Feng."

Lu Ruolan replied again, ignoring his father's angry look again, and went straight to the door. However, when he got out of the study and didn't take a few steps, he suddenly patted his head and said with regret,

"Well, what's the most important thing you haven't said?"

However, at the thought of the situation just now, I'm afraid even if I said it, Dad would not agree.

After thinking for a long time, there was no good way for a time, so I had to go to my boudoir unhappily.

In the study, Lu Zhongsheng rubbed his temples. Obviously, he was angry with his careless daughter. Unfortunately, he did not dare to really do anything to let the old lady know that he had no good fruit to eat.

"Father seems to have many misunderstandings about brother Chu?"

At this time, Lu Wenyang suddenly opened his mouth and tried a sentence.

"I have no misunderstanding about him." Lu Zhongsheng sat down slowly and looked solemn,

"I've seen that boy more than once when he was in Hangzhou. Although his family is poor, he is also a young talent. If he can continue the imperial examination, he may not be able to win the palace."

After a pause, the tone suddenly changed,

"Unfortunately, he gave up the imperial examination and chose to become a monk. In this way, how can he get too close to Lan'er?"

"My father is worried that my little sister will like brother Chu?"

"This is just one of them." Lu Zhongsheng nodded and then said,

"I've also sent people to inquire about a lot of things during this period. Before the official family ascended the throne, I was very kind to Chu boy. I not only visited him in person, but also sent people to reward him many times.

However, now that his position has been fixed, he will never mention it again. It can be seen that there must be a gap between the two. Officials worship the Tao, but it is not easy to go on the way of favouring ministers. Once he loses his favor, he may be doomed. "

"My father's concerns are justified." Lu Wenyang nodded,

"However, the child has another idea."

"Oh, can you tell me?"

Lu Zhongsheng attaches great importance to his only son and is willing to listen to each other's opinions.

Lu Wenyang paused and said slowly:

"Since ancient times, emperors have been greedy for longevity. They may have different priorities, but their ideas are no different. When officials are still the king, they like to worship Xuan. Obviously, they have the same mind. Even if they are not brother Chu, they will still be others. In short, they will certainly favor Taoist priests."

"If brother Chu, like other Taoists, deceives the officials with fraud, he may win a moment of glory. After all, he will still be exposed one day. Just as his father was worried, once he fell out of favor, he will never recover."

"But just now, brother Chu is not like this. Although it is exaggerated to say that he is an immortal, he really has some fairies and wonders. How can the officials not like it? I'm afraid it's too late to get close."

"You saw it with your own eyes?" Lu Zhongsheng suddenly asked.

"It's not just children. I've seen it with my own eyes during the Double Ninth Festival. It's by no means a way to block the eyes by juggling." Lu Wenyang nodded and said,

"Besides, brother Chu is very famous in Bian capital. Too many people have witnessed his immortal demeanor. Can't they all be fraudsters?"

Lu Zhongsheng was speechless for a long time and didn't know how to refute. Yes, it is said that he once made a picture of flying immortals, which attracted countless people to watch. He also flew with his sword at the house of Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of rites, and fought against evil monks.

All this is really difficult to understand, and it is really impossible to deceive everyone.

"Then why didn't the official summon him after he became king? He didn't mention the reward, or he didn't mention it?"

"It's not hard to guess," Lu Wenyang smiled,

"I think it's probably brother Chu's own reason. Perhaps, a true immortal like him pursues freedom. He doesn't care about the fame, wealth and wealth in the secular world."

"That's true." Lu Zhongsheng nodded. He couldn't help thinking of master xuanchen of Lingyin Temple. The other party was in the same state of mind.

"One more thing," Lu Wenyang continued,

"Brother Chu and I are classmates and close friends. This is an opportunity that others miss so much. Isn't it a big mistake for my father to reject alienation instead of taking advantage of this consolidation?"

"This..." Lu Zhongsheng opened his mouth for a long time and finally sighed,

"I think it's a bad thing."

"Father doesn't have to blame himself. Everyone makes mistakes." Lu Wenyang smiled and suddenly lowered his voice,

"Do you think it's appropriate between brother Chu and little sister?"

"Hmm?" Lu Zhongsheng looked at his son strangely,

"I've just arrived in Bianjing. Is it because you deliberately connived at the relationship between them?"

"I didn't do anything. Everything is just going with the flow and letting it go. It's still unknown whether it will come naturally." Lu Wenyang shook his head gently,

"My father thought that if I really did something deliberately, would I not be aware of brother Chu's ability?"

"My son is so clever that he can't be a father."

……

As night fell, Lu Ruolan drove the servant girl out of the boudoir and lay on the table alone.

It was just a small matter to be severely scolded by her father before. It didn't affect her at all. On the contrary, at this moment, her mind has been thinking about what Chu Feng said in the daytime.

Xiuxian lives forever. What a yearning thing, especially for a little girl who likes freedom, it has unparalleled temptation.

However, the other party's requirements are equally harsh. You can't be a wall grass. You must completely draw a line from Buddhism, which is difficult for some people.

I grew up with my grandmother when I was a child. I also went to temples in Hangzhou to worship Buddha. When I was young, I only thought it was fun. However, as I grew older, I often heard my grandmother talking about Buddhist scriptures with Buddhist monks. My ears melted and my eyes dyed, so I deeply recognized its idea.

"If my grandmother knew that I would abandon Buddhism and worship the Taoist door wall, I'm afraid she would die of sadness." Lu Ruolan rubbed her temples and said reluctantly.

"However, brother Chu Feng said that I have the qualification to cultivate immortals and am willing to accept me as an apprentice. Such an opportunity is really once in a lifetime. How can I miss it easily?"

My mind was a little upset. I got up and walked to the bed. Inadvertently, my eyes suddenly saw a corner by the pillow. My heart immediately reflected, isn't this the Dharma Sutra I often read?

When I was a child, my grandmother recited with me, and then I took the initiative. Now it has become a habit. Whenever you are in a bad mood and your thoughts are upset, as long as you recite the Scriptures quietly, you can always gradually restore calm.

As if it were a subconscious, Lu Ruolan lay on the soft bed again, opened the Scriptures and began to read them.

"If you are a good man and a good woman, it is the Dharma Sutra. If you read, recite, explain, and write, you deserve 800 eyes of merit and virtue... This sutra can save all sentient beings, and this sutra can make all sentient beings leave all their troubles. This sutra can greatly benefit all sentient beings and fill their wishes. Like the cool pool can fill all those who are thirsty..."

……

With the reading of the Scriptures, Lu Ruolan gradually became calm, and all impetuous delusions dissipated from her heart.

She had expected this. When she was young, she had a strong ability to understand Buddhist scriptures, so she was often praised by her grandmother for her Buddhist nature.

However, since the last illness, there has been a more obvious change. When he reads the Scriptures again, he is very different from before. Vaguely, he seems to have a deeper understanding.

She even felt that those eminent monks, even master xuanchen, had many mistakes and omissions in their understanding of the Scriptures. But she didn't tell it, not even her grandmother. Otherwise, if a little girl accuses you of being evil, isn't she just causing trouble?

The chanting of scriptures did not stop. On the contrary, with the chanting, Lu Ruolan felt that his whole mind became more relaxed and comfortable.

As the Scripture says, it is like a cold fire, like a naked man getting clothes, like a merchant winner, like a son getting his mother, like crossing a boat, like a sick doctor, like a dark lamp, like a poor treasure, like a people getting a king, like a merchant getting the sea, like a torch getting rid of darkness.

"Boom..."

Just at this time, something in my mind suddenly woke up, stunned it in an instant, and the scripture fell aside.

Lu Ruolan didn't know this. At this time, she only felt that there was a strange and familiar voice calling her. The whole consciousness was coerced by the mysterious force that appeared out of thin air and flew rapidly in a certain direction.

Through an unknown channel, mysterious and long. The wall of the passage was covered with silver brilliance, flashing like a starry sky. Such a spectacle naturally surprised her. However, she couldn't control herself and had to let the unknown force take her forward.

Suddenly, it finally came to an end, the channel disappeared, and all the silver brilliance suddenly went out. As if through an invisible diaphragm, the next moment, it suddenly appeared in the other world.

She was finally able to stop and look at the new world. However, at this time, only a woman's voice suddenly sounded, which instantly attracted her whole mind.

"Here you are."
