Chapter 984(1/2)
The little girl jumping in front suddenly stopped and suddenly stood up and jumped to the branch of a big tree. As soon as her feet fell, she jumped up again. Her hands and feet stood on the top of the big tree in the blink of an eye.
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, and immediately looked alert, carefully sensing the changes in the flow of air. He concentrated on his mind for a moment, and felt nothing except the slight breeze.
Two or three minutes later, the little girl fell down and looked slightly beautiful.
"Is it an illusion?"
"Did you notice something?"
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a long time, "I clearly felt a faint aura, but it disappeared in an instant."
Lu Shanmin looked at him and could see Cihang'an from afar. He felt a warning and ran wildly up the mountain.
I ran to Cihang Temple in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Miaoxiang standing at the gate of the mountain.
Before Lu Shanmin could speak, Miaoxiang had already spoken first, "Come in with me." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the side hall.
Lu Shanmin was just a little stunned and raised his heels to go up.
When he walked to the gate of the hall, the little girl wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Lu Shanmin. "You are waiting for me at the gate."
Walking into the side hall, Miaoxiang was still sitting on the cushion of yesterday. Lu Shanmin could feel that the Miaoxiang today was a little different from yesterday. Just now, it seemed like he was deliberately standing at the gate of the mountain waiting for him, quietly kneeling on her lower head, waiting for Miaoxiang to speak first.
Miaoxiang sang Amitabha Buddha and said, "You are the same as your father, and you will not give up what you believe in."
"The master cut off the world and practiced here, and I shouldn't have disturbed you."
"The boy is not a fool, and he also knows that the master is for my own good. But the master doesn't know. On the one hand, as you said, I am as stubborn as my dad. On the other hand, since I am here, will others let me leave easily?"
"The master is a person who has attained enlightenment. He should know that once he enters the world and dies, he will return. It is like a chess game. If he can't finish this game, no chess piece can escape."
Miaoxiang just looked at Lu Shanmin lightly, with neither sad nor happy expression.
"Have you seen the mountains?"
Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Miaoxiang asked this question. "I grew up in the mountains."
"Have you seen the sea?"
"I have been in the East China Sea for a few years and have seen the sea."
Miaoxiang closed his hands and said a rant, and then closed his eyes slightly for a moment and opened them again.
"The mountains are high and the sea is wide. Your father is such a man. He has lofty ambitions, but he never despises the realization of his ambitions with any conspiracy. He has a broad mind and never does anything against his conscience due to temporary gains and losses. His sincerity is as bright as the sun and the moon. Whether it is a friend or an enemy, he never deceives or is scheming."
Miaoxiang raised his head slightly, as if immersed in memories, "A body like a mountain can give people an infinite sense of security, and a mind like a sea makes everyone around him feel warm."
Although Lu Shanmin guessed that Miaoxiang had some emotional entanglements with his father, he was still quite shocked when he heard Miaoxiang's words. The portrait of his father was spoken through different mouths, becoming clearer and clearer.
"Master, you fell in love with my dad?" Lu Shanmin asked subconsciously.
Miaoxiang lowered her head and smiled slightly, like a lotus in bloom. Lu Shanmin couldn't help but think that Miaoxiang must have been a beautiful woman who was fascinating to the whole country when she was young. Thinking of such a beautiful woman with the ancient Buddha in Qinglantern for more than 20 years, I couldn't help but sigh for her.
"A man like this is worthy of love for every woman and also worthy of jealousy of all men."
He said and looked at Lu Shanmin gently, "He was in Tianjing, like a tornado. Whether it was a woman or a man, he was impressed by his style."
Lu Shanmin opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He knew that his father was a brilliant man, but he did not expect that he would have such a charm. He now believed what Tian Heng said, and such a strange man was enough to arouse the heroic dream of a little boy.
Miaoxiang continued to tell, with a gentle but brilliant smile on her face.
"That was the happiest time of my life. I took him to the Forbidden City, took him to the Summer Palace, rowed in Kunming Lake, climbed the Great Wall together to Badaling, visited temple fairs together, and went to Tiananmen Square to watch the national flag raising."
"He smiled like the spring sunshine, brilliant and warm. His laughter was refreshing, like the symphony of spring thunder and autumn wind. He was full of curiosity and excitement about everything in Tianjing. Many people said that he had never seen the world. In fact, I know that he was full of love for the whole world."
Lu Shanmin listened quietly, imagining a sunny boy standing on Chang'an Street and smiling to the sky. Compared to his father's heroic heroism, he had too many entanglements and hesitations along the way, and had too many uneasy bonds. Compared with his father, he was too far behind him.
"He said that Tianjing is a city that he doesn't want to go when he comes. He fell in love with it, and wanted to take root and sprout here, and to thrive here, but many people look down on him. Although he visits with enthusiasm and sincerity, he is often turned away."
"He had a difficult time during those days. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to think about it. When I asked him to have dinner, I realized that I was overly concerned. He was still energetic and bright. He had endless energy and would not be depressed in the face of any difficulties. He was always so optimistic and so passionate."
"Yes, I fell in love with him. I can't resist such a man and completely sink into depravity."
The spirit on Miaoxiang's face gradually faded away, and his expression gradually became calm.
"The Tian family is different from other big families in Tianjing. My grandfather Taizu is just a stonemason and has always adhered to the family tradition of hard work. Compared with other wealthy families, he is not as deep as those from poor families.
The prejudice. At that time, my grandfather was still there. The old man admired him very much and intended to invite him to marry into his family. My father also supported him very much and often invited him to the Tian family."
Lu Shanmin nodded, "I have met Tian Heng, your family style is indeed different."
Miaoxiang smiled bitterly, and a faint disdain appeared on his face. "The family tradition of the Tian family only exists for the sake of profit, and is essentially no different from them."
As he said that, he looked at Lu Shanmin with a gentle look on his face, "Child, you are as kind as your father, you are too kind."
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, "Does the Tian family have other purposes?"
The expression of Miaoxiang gradually dimmed.
"That's right, the Tian family admires your father very much. But how could these wealthy families communicate with each other like your father? The Tian family just wants to take your father for their own use. Once it is useless, it will be abandoned like worn-out shoes."
As he said that, he smiled faintly, "I always thought that my relationship with your father was accidental. It was not until a long time later that I realized that everything was arranged by the family. I was just a bait to seduce your father."
As he said that, he lamented, "Where can I use the happiness of my biological daughter? The family tradition of the Tian family is nothing more than that."
"What happened later?" Lu Shanmin asked.
"If your dad and I were together smoothly, I would naturally not resent my family."
Miaoxiang smiled bitterly, "Later, your father told me that he had someone he liked. That night I hid in the quilt and cried all night. After that, I didn't contact him for a long time. Later, I heard that he fought with the Nalan family in the mall to death. I remember that once he came to the Tian family and wanted to ask the Tian family to help him. But neither my grandfather nor my father wanted to."
"Later I found out that he had almost traveled to the entire Tianjing family with a little strength, but none of them were willing to help him."
Lu Shanmin could imagine the situation at that time. Several large families in Tianjing did not take action, and no one else dared to take action easily.
"I can't let him go in my heart, but I also know that I can't persuade my grandfather and my dad, so I found him again and asked him to fake marriage with me. I promised him that as long as he overcomes this difficulty, I will give him freedom."
He said with a wry smile: "He said he didn't want to hurt the person he loved, nor did he want to hurt me, nor did he want to go against his conscience. He said that even if he died, he would die upright."
Lu Shanmin lowered his head and felt a piercing pain in his heart. In the same situation, his father did not go against his conscience when life and death were at stake, but he took the initiative to deceive Han Yao.
Miaoxiang did not notice the shame on Lu Shanmin's face and continued: "Your father is worthy of being a hero. The big family in Tianjin did not help him, but he impressed a large number of small and medium-sized business owners who started businesses in Tianjin and successfully tied them together. Chenlong Trading of Chenlong Group against the Star Hui Department Store of Nalan's family, and set off a century-long war in Tianjin where even the four big families dared to intervene easily."
Miaoxiang smiled, "He succeeded, and forced the Nalan family to sit down and negotiate." "He became famous in one battle, and he became a stolen figure in Tianjing. News about him was flying all over the world. He got married, his wife was pregnant, he had a son, and news came to my ears."
"master,,"
Miaoxiang smiled and shook his head, "You are a kind child, but you don't have to blame yourself. These things have nothing to do with you."
Lu Shanmin felt a little uneasy, "Master, you became a monk because of this reason."
Miaoxiang shook his head, "After your father became famous in the battle, he did not feel any resentment because of the Tian family's previous stand-ins. Instead, he became close to the Tian family again and took the initiative to help the Tian family. I remember that when you were born, my father went to see you."
"I kept staying in my door for that period. I remember that day was the second day after you were full moon. Someone threw a letter from outside the courtyard wall, and the envelope said that Lu Chenlong's family was in danger."
Lu Shanmin frowned. When he was in Jiangzhou, Fenglang also said that someone had sent him a letter, and he arrived in time to save his life.
"Who sent the letter"?
"I don't know, I went to find my dad in a hurry at that time. I thought my dad would be more likely to help with his old love."
He sneered, "But not only did he not go to save your family, he locked me in the house and refused to let me go out."
"When I was released the next day, the newspaper headlines were the news that your family of three died in a car accident."
Lu Shanmin clenched his fists, and his previous affection for the Tian family was gone. Now he also understood why Miaoxiang wanted to become a monk. His beloved man married another woman and his family died in a bad life. The Tian family, who had been born and raised, had always loved her deeply, and the harbor she could rely on collapsed and broke. He was discouraged and accompanied the ancient Buddha of Qinglan in Cihang Temple for more than 20 years.
"Child, I don't know why Tian Heng came to you, nor why he led you to me. Listen to me, don't trust the Tian family, don't trust anyone in Tianjing."
Lu Shanmin looked at Miao's relevant eyes and smiled comfortably, "Thank you for your advice, I remember it."
Walking out of Cihang Temple, the little girl asked, "Brother Shanmin, what did she say?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I told some old things, but there are no valuable clues."
The little girl pursed her lips, "Isn't that in vain?"
Lu Shanmin snorted coldly, "It's not in vain. At least he knows that the Tian family is a ruthless person."
"Oh, Brother Shanmin, I always think this wonderful appearance is quite strange."
"What's strange?" Lu Shanmin stopped and asked.
"Brother Shanmin, think about it. She looked like she was beaten to death yesterday and refused to say it. Today, she suddenly
Don’t you find it strange to appear at the gate of the mountain to wait for us?”
Lu Shanmin frowned. When he first entered Cihang Temple, he felt something was wrong. He had been immersed in what Miaoxiang said before and didn't think about it carefully. After hearing what the little girl said, something was really wrong.
"Brother Shanmin, why don't we go back and ask?"
Lu Shanmin grabbed the little girl's wrist and shook her head, "Master Miaoxiang is tired enough today, so we should not disturb her anymore."
While he was talking, a strong aura suddenly burst out from the little girl's body. This time, Lu Shanmin also felt a breath as if there was something or nothing in the distance.
Before Lu Shanmin could speak, the little girl had already broken away from Lu Shanmin's hand, plunged into the mountains, and quickly ran towards the distance.
Lu Shanmin was shocked and had no time to call the little girl, so he had to run after her.
The forests in the north were covered with leaves, and the forest was filled with soft dead leaves and snow. The two of them ran quickly in the forest, tracking the breath while paying attention to the surrounding environment.
The aura did not go far away, as if it was deliberately released to lure the two of them.
After running out for hundreds of meters, a familiar aura surged in. The trees in the distance trembled, and from time to time, a crackling sound of trees being broken.
To be continued...
