The Lotus Lantern in Green Letters

Chapter 5

Yang Jian and Lu Yuan searched all day, and it was already night when they got home.In the hall, Lu Sheng sat on the main seat, resting his forehead with one hand, thinking about something, and didn't notice them coming in.It wasn't until Lu Yuan called "Uncle." As if she came back to herself, she stood up and showed a smile.

Lu Yuan went back to her room, but Lu Sheng wanted to go drink with Yang Jian in the kiosk.

The pavilion is built facing the water, and there is a small pond below it.The pond seems to have been planted with lotus, but now there are only some dead stems crisscrossing it.

"It was left by the previous owner of this house." Lu Sheng explained when he saw Yang Jian staring at the dry poles.

There used to be a lot of pink lotus here, slim and graceful, the former owner should have raised it very carefully.However, in such a big house now, there are only a few servants, apart from cooking, guarding the gate, and cleaning, there is no one left to manage these things.So the lotus blossomed and failed under his hands.Lu Sheng didn't know what was in his mind, everyone said he was rich and the house was huge, but he felt that very few things in the house belonged to him, as if he just came here with a burden as a long-term guest, But no one can say what he thinks.Because no one would believe it, everyone said, the house deed and the land deed were all named Lu Sheng. Some people envied him, some envied him. Enter Qingchuan Mansion, which is full of relatives of the emperor.Lu Sheng thought about what else he has besides the glamorous appearance.

Lu Sheng drank a glass of wine and withdrew his thoughts, thinking too much about some things would not help.

He also thought about going outside the city today, and that person was not there. He knew that even Lu Yuan knew that he liked that person and often went to see that person, but who knew that what he often looked at was actually an empty house. is waiting.Waiting for that person to come to see him, when he came back, he left a note there.If the man sees it, he will come to him.

Yang Jian watched Lu Sheng drink one cup after another non-stop, and he didn't know what to say.He could see that Lu Sheng was feeling uncomfortable today, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Erlang, do you know that all the members of the Lu family died back then. Only Xiaoyuan and I were left."

Yang Jian saw that the corners of Lu Sheng's eyes were red from drinking, and his eyes were sad.It suddenly occurred to him that maybe he had suppressed it for too long and lost all his relatives, but he couldn't show it, because he wanted to support Lu Yuan's family to death.Maybe it was because of something today that caused his depression.

Yang Jian listened quietly to how the Lu family lost one person after another.Then how did he take Lu Yuan to go to other places, and finally came to Jinling.

Then Lu Sheng didn't go on talking, he thought of that time, the plague was rampant and the world was in chaos.At that time, during the journey, Lu Yuan started to have a fever, and Lu Sheng knew that there was no place for them to go in like this.There was no medicine, because medicine was too precious at that time, and some medicines could not be bought even with money.What's more, they are penniless.Lu Yuan was dying of a high fever, and a rash began to appear on her body. He put Lu Yuan in a place and settled it down. Then he went to the nearest village and robbed a household inside of it for medicine.When he came back, there was still blood on his face and hands. He had killed someone, but he couldn't care less.He hurriedly decocted the medicine and fed it to Du Yuan when it was cold.

He prayed, he hoped, that Du Yuan would recover the next day, her fever would subside, and her rash would disappear.But the next day, he woke up.Du Yuan in her arms was already cold.Yes, Du Yuan is dead.

Murong Xi usually lives in Qingchuan Mansion, even Mu Xiu would not return to live in her bedroom in the palace.

There is a huge mansion in Qingchuan Mansion, which was specially built for Qingchuan Mansion by the first emperor.

Murong Xi was about to go back to her room to rest, but she saw Murong Yue at the door.Murong Yue stood at the door, a shadow happened to block him.He seemed to be waiting for her on purpose.

She and Murong Yue were not born to the same mother, but they are the only children of the father, so they have a very good relationship.

Murong Yue seemed to be in a bad mood, his long and narrow eyes were full of gloom, Murong Xi approached him, Murong Yue looked at her coldly.

"He's making you unhappy again."

"No." Murong Xi said anxiously, of course she knew who Murong Yue was talking about.

"I won't do that again." Murong Xi smiled wryly.She is from the Murong family, and the Murong family would rather cut their heads than bow their heads.She took too many steps back for Lu Yuan, but she still didn't like him.

"You are my younger sister." Murong Yue said such a sentence.

Murong Xi smiled, Murong Yue rarely expressed his feelings directly like this.She looked at Murong Yue without any relief.As if thinking of something, his expression began to dim, and he asked, "How is the father?"

Hearing the word "Father", Murong Yue lowered his head, "Father still hasn't woken up."

"Has the national teacher found out the reason?"

Murong Yue shook her head, "It seems to be destiny."

"Impossible," Murong Xi called out, "Father is not yet 40 years old."

Murong Yue chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm, "Murong's family has always been short-lived, isn't it?"

Murong Xi was silent.Since the first emperor of the Murong family, every emperor has lived to be more than 40 years old.Like a curse, it was branded on the Murong family.

"What about Uncle Huang?" Murong Xi asked.

Hearing Murong Min, Murong Yue sneered, "I heard that he is looking for doctors all over the world."

Murong Xi didn't speak anymore.She knew that the emperor's brother and the emperor's uncle were at odds.Everyone around thought that Uncle Huang was talkative and soft-tempered.Only the emperor's brother is very taboo towards the emperor's uncle.She didn't understand it all the time. She thought it might be because the father, the emperor, always loved the emperor uncle like a son because of his young age, which made the emperor brother jealous.

In the end, Murong Xi glanced at Murong Yue, "Brother Huang, you should restrain yourself a bit recently, it has been rumored everywhere that you are secretly recruiting monks."

Murong Yue lowered her eyes, her face was hidden in the shadows, she didn't know if she listened or not.

Murong Xi sighed, of course she knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Qingchuan Mansion, but the Qingchuan Mansion's roots are too deep, it cannot be removed in a day or two, and at that time, there will be another bloody storm wind.

The current abbot of Huguo Temple is Master Xuanyi.It is indeed the largest temple in the world.The Buddha statues in the Buddhist hall are all glittering with golden light.The statue of Shakyamuni Buddha directly in front looks like a giant, overlooking the crowd.Sun Wukong stood and looked up at the roof, only to feel that it was tall and far away, and some light was cast from the roof, shining on the Buddha statues, the incense burner, and the futon.

Jin Chanzi, Master Xuan Yi and several masters entered the meditation room and closed the door.

Sun Wukong watched the remaining disciples chant scriptures and knock on wooden fish in the Buddhist hall.The low-pitched and continuous chanting sound, the sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk" seems to be knocking on the heart of a wooden fish that is always alert.Lingering in the ear, endlessly.

Sun Wukong asked a little novice next to him the location of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, turned around and left the Buddhist hall, heading towards the location of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion.Jin Chanzi used to read Buddhist scriptures to him often.

Most of the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion are yellow and have rough edges.But it can be seen that each book is flat and clean, and people who read them should be very careful.Sun Wukong picked up a book and began to read it. Jin Chanzi once said to him, don't let the ideas in the book occupy your thinking first, so that your thinking is completely influenced by the book.Instead, take the initiative, have selective input, and have your own ideas. Don’t blindly think that what is in the book is right. It is just some people’s ideas, not everyone’s ideas. Even if you are the only one who doesn’t think in the world Same, you have to know it can be different.

Lu Sheng had a dream at night.

The morning sun was very bright, shining on his body, the sun was getting hotter and hotter.

But Lu Yuan in his arms never warmed up, her eyes were closed tightly, her small mouth was purple and cold, and she was not breathing.

Mingming's back was so hot from the sun, but Lu Sheng felt that it was getting colder and colder.He patted Lu Yuan's small face lightly, and shouted, "Xiao Yuan'er, get up, uncle will take you to play." There was no response.

The surroundings were deathly quiet, as if a plague had taken away not only human lives, but also the voices of all other living beings.Not even the sound of the wind.

"Little Yuaner."

"Little Yuaner."

"Little Yuaner."

"Little Yuaner." Lu Sheng kept calling.Her hands were shaking all the time, so that she couldn't control her strength, and Lu Yuan's originally fair and tender face with baby fat turned red.It was made famous by Lu Sheng, if it was normal, Lu Yuan should have started crying.

But Lu Yuan won't be crying anymore.

Lu Sheng usually annoys Lu Yuan crying, but now he longs to hear him cry.Just one sound is fine.

Lu Sheng hugged Lu Yuan tightly, his voice became hoarse, tears began to fall, he had no relatives anymore.

Lu Sheng couldn't help crying, his face was covered with tears and snot, there was no image left.

Suddenly a leaf fell in front of Lu Sheng's eyes, and Lu Sheng watched it fall.At the moment of falling, there was a "swish, swish, swish" sound, which was the sound of wind blowing leaves and vegetation.

Between heaven and earth, it seems that there is a wind all of a sudden.

There was a sound of "scrubbing" in front, and someone was stepping on fallen leaves.The man stopped in front of Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng stared at a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes in front of him.

"Do you want to save your nephew?" The voice sounded like the sound of heaven, jade beads splashed down, and ice springs flowed.

Lu Sheng raised his head slowly, looking at the person in front of him with tears in his eyes.

Later, Lu Sheng thought that the reason why the man didn't love him was because his image was too sloppy when they first met. That girl would like a man with tears and snot all over his face.Consolation is just consolation, Lu Sheng knew very well in his heart that no matter how chic and suave he appeared, and could fascinate thousands of girls, she would not like him, that man would not like anyone.

When Lu Sheng woke up, he felt a splitting headache. He only remembered drinking last night, and he couldn't remember anything else.

Looking outside, it was still early, Lu Sheng thought for a while and went to Lu Yuan's room.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Lu Yuan had already got up and was practicing sword in the courtyard. She was a little surprised to see Lu Sheng, but understood in an instant.

Lu Yuan knew that his uncle was worried about him, because he used to suffer from nightmares every night.At that time, my uncle accompanied him every night, knowing that he went to Qingchuan Mansion later, and after his master helped him, he never had that nightmare again.

Lu Sheng was obviously also fully awake, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he thought that his nephew was no longer that child.

He scratched his head, seemed a little annoyed, and walked out again.

Lu Yuan laughed happily from behind.

The author has something to say: there are 3000 words, so I posted it.

Well, if something is not well written, bring it up.

Probably, it will take some time before the two will meet.
