Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 406 Planning 4

The mother paused, tightened her grip on her daughter's hand, and looked at her with some confusion.

"Aren't they your maidservants? What happened?"

Wang Jinyi grinned as if he was relaxed, "It's okay, mother, please ask my grandfather for me. I'm alone, so I need to get to know everyone around me."

After saying that, he shook off his mother and said, "I'm leaving first. It's too smelly here. Next time..."

Xiang Xiang didn't say anything else and ran out of the toilet. He trotted all the way to the bamboo forest. In the distance, he could hear Zhu Yu's footsteps.

The smell of the toilet was still lingering in his nose, so Wang Jinyi waved his hand and said, "Don't come over here, it smells too bad. Go away, leave now!"

"Miss, toilet paper..."

Zhu Yu stood holding the straw paper, looking at the young lady who was running towards him, holding him with one hand and waving a handkerchief with the other.

I sympathize with them and sighed, "That's right, how come the chefs eat vegetarian food every day and it still tastes so bad?!"

Zhu Yu shook his head, unable to figure it out. He tucked the toilet paper into his belt and pulled the lady to the side.

"Why are you going there?"

"Miss, don't you have to wash your hands? Let's go and get rid of the odor."

Zhu Yu was still pulling the young lady towards the pool. Wang Jinyi pretended to be angry and stamped her feet, "Humph! It smells so bad here, why don't you leave quickly! Go back and wash, and you can breathe easier. Oh, hurry up."

The master and servant walked hand in hand along the bamboo path and headed straight for Yunshui Hall.

Yuqing, Ding Yi and Ding Er, who were outside the bamboo forest, hurriedly followed, but without figuring out what was going on, they returned to their residence.

After a while, Zhu Yu was seen holding the young lady's plain coarse cloth robe in one hand and pinching her nose with the other hand. He hurried to the sink, threw it far forward, pinched his nose exaggeratedly, clapped his hands, and ran back to the house.

Yuqing lowered his head and just stood at the door silently. Ding Yi and Ding Er looked at each other, as if they understood, and walked a few steps towards the gate of the courtyard.

Wang Jinyi stayed in the room for a quarter of an hour in the name of getting rid of the smell and changing clothes, trying to buy time for her parents, and then she reluctantly went out, acting as if she was in a hurry.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he shouted, "Hurry up, the lecture will start soon..."

Before he could finish his words, he trotted straight to the Main Hall.

Wang Jinyi ran a few steps, thinking that his parents needed time to familiarize themselves with the route to the Pure Land Temple, and they would need to communicate with each other and study it further. He didn't know if the time he bought would be enough.

So, she stopped and lowered her head to adjust her skirt, when she caught a glimpse of a centipede crawling in the cracks of the blue bricks. She suddenly jumped up reflexively and stomped her feet around the insect.

Zhu Yu stepped forward and kicked the little bug. The little bug saw the Buddha. Wang Jinyi stood still with his hands up. "Amitabha, Amitabha, good, good! Sins, sins..."

While she was still hesitating, Yuqing came forward, pulled the lady's clothes, and whispered to her, "You can go now."

Wang Jinyi glanced at Yuqing out of the corner of his eye and saw her nod slightly. He knew that she understood his intention, so he simply continued to run towards the hall.

I hurriedly found a seat and sat down, then began to silently follow the rhythm of the chanting. I sat cross-legged, closed my eyes slightly, and just followed along.

Her mother's seat was empty, and the Buddhist scriptures she had copied were taken away by her mother. She just looked at her father's seat and saw that he was gone too, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason I felt a sour feeling in my heart. It took me a long time to calm down before I opened my eyes. I accidentally met Master Huiming's gaze, so I quickly looked away, raised my hand to wipe away the tears that had already flowed down my cheeks, and closed my eyes silently again.

This time it’s not for meditation, I just don’t want anyone to see my mood.

Wang Jinyi didn't hear anything during the half-hour lecture. He kept thinking whether it would be beneficial for him to let the prince's faction think that he was insignificant in the family, and whether he would become a bargaining chip for the prince's faction to win over the Wang family...

Her head was full of possibilities. When everyone around her got up to pack their things, Zhu Yu gently pulled the young lady.

"Miss, are you asleep? Let's go!"

Yuqing found an excuse for the young lady: "Help the young lady, her legs are numb from sitting."

"how do you know?"

"I..." Yuqing stopped talking.

Wang Jinyi understood Yuqing's hint and said, "Hurry and pull me up."

Yuqing pulled the young lady up from the mat with force, and Zhu Yu squatted down to massage and pat the young lady's legs. After a while, the three of them walked slowly out of the hall.

At the entrance of the main hall, Master Huiming and three Dharma protectors, with Buddhist beads in their hands, bid farewell to the believers who have come from afar.

Wang Jinyi broke away from the rules of support and started to take action. When he looked down, he saw that the hem of the monk's maroon cassock was lifted up by the mountain breeze, revealing his patched monk's robe and shoes. He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. What else could he share for free?

Only a devout believer can live frugally and yet be willing to offer a lotus.

Master Huiming lowered his eyes, spoke calmly, and recited the scriptures silently, but Wang Jinyi's whole body stiffened, as if he was given a warning by heaven.

After leaving the door, he turned around and pulled Yuqing. As they walked side by side, he asked in a hollow voice, "Is there a Taoist temple in this mountain?"

"Miss, generally speaking, Buddhism and Taoism do not have their temples on the same mountain."

"Yuqing, if you have a chance, go out and take a look. Is there any nunnery around here? See how far away it is and what it looks like! As soon as possible!"

"Miss, you may be overthinking it. It shouldn't be that serious!"

"Go ahead, just be prepared! Go a few more times and have a look."

"Okay, miss, I'll go after Sister Feng and the others come back."

Wang Jinyi turned her head to look at Yuqing. Yuqing didn't understand what the lady meant by looking at her like a fool. Soon she heard the lady say:

"I just want you to go when they are not around. I don't want them to know. Do you understand?"

Yuqing hesitated for a moment, but still nodded softly.

After returning to Yunshuitang, Wang Jinyi dismissed everyone, spread the scriptures on the table, and sat there looking up at the sky without any intention of copying them. He felt more and more lonely, so he put on his clothes, stood up and walked towards the mountain behind the temple. The further he walked, the more secluded it became, and there was no road ahead.

Further ahead was a cliff. Looking down, there was a farmland. Wang Jinyi sat there, seemingly leisurely watching the farmers working. This should be the land of the temple...

He sat there stupidly for a long while, until it got dark. Zhu Yu squatted down and found that his young lady was in tears.

She frantically looked for the handkerchief, but the lady held her back, "Don't be so flustered, I'm fine, don't take out the handkerchief."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhu Yu to stand up slowly, then wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves, "I'll sing a song for you."

Without waiting for anyone to answer, and as if not hearing Zhu Yu's question, he said, "Miss, Yuqing is missing."

Wang Jinyi looked up to herself, singing leisurely as she walked: Can you hear the brightest star in the night sky?

The loneliness and sigh in the heart of those who look up

Can you remember the brightest star in the night sky?

The figure that once walked with me and disappeared in the wind...
