Chapter 173 Farewell Lingyun Temple
Chapter 173 Farewell Lingyun Temple
The next morning, a cool autumn breeze blew through the trees, causing the leaves to rustle collectively. The swaying branches startled the resting birds. The birds in the courtyard of No. 9 Zongxing Lane fluttered around, chirping happily.
Wang Wendong in the yard was woken up. He was the first one to get up in the backyard. He did not go to practice sword today, but came to his mother's room.
Today is the day my mother checked the almanac and found a good day for praying and offering sacrifices. My mother and my sister hurried to Lingyun Temple early in the morning. The journey took more than an hour, so everyone in the family got up unusually early today.
The family's two carriages had been waiting in front of the door, and the offerings had been loaded onto the carriages.
Wang Jinyi was wearing a plain lotus leaf-colored blouse today, a jade mountain-colored long skirt, and an elegant embroidered ribbon around her waist. There was no decoration on her body, and even her hair was combed into two small buns according to the clan etiquette.
Today she was dressed a little more dignified, less childish than a baby. Her mother held Wang Jinyi's hand, followed by her brother. They went out of the Begonia Gate on the west side and walked around the corridor on the west side of the courtyard. Her father was already waiting at the door.
The father helped the mother step on a footstool and get on the bus first, then he picked up his daughter and carried her into the carriage.
Wang Jinyi feels that she is just redundant sometimes. For example, now, if her parents are alone, they will definitely hold hands and talk to each other from the bottom of their hearts.
Because he was there, the father helped his wife and daughter lower the car curtains. The mother pulled the car curtains open and looked at the father. The father put his hand on the mother's hand and said softly:
"Be careful on the road. Be careful. Don't rush."
The elder brother ran to his father, waving his hands. He looked at his younger sister who was sitting next to his mother. As the carriage moved forward, the elder brother ran a few steps, waved his hands to his younger sister, and shouted:
"come back earlier."
The carriage went farther and farther away, and the carriage swayed from side to side like a big cradle, the comfortable shaking made people drowsy. Wang Jinyi insisted on chatting with her mother to prevent herself from falling asleep. When the carriage arrived at the south city gate, many carriages and horses had gathered, but the city gate had not yet opened.
Wang Jinyi thought of the missing person notices posted at various city gates and wanted to get off the bus to look at them, so she pestered her mother and said:
"Mother, I want to check out the government notice board. I haven't seen that thing yet."
The mother flatly refused:
"There are a lot of cars and horses right now. It's easy for something to go wrong when the gate is open. Wait until there are fewer people and I'll go with you to see it."
Indeed, it is easy to lose children and property in crowded and noisy places, so he leaned against his mother and fell asleep peacefully.
It was not until an hour later that Wang Jinyi was awakened by the carriage turning on the mountain road. Her mother was resting with her eyes closed, and Wang Jinyi lifted the curtain of the carriage.
The mountain road in front of me is rugged and winding, twisting and turning like a long snake. It feels like I have reached the end of the mountain road. I can see a towering mountain gate halfway up the mountain.
Under the simple and ancient wooden gate is a road carved out of the rocks, stacked high and far, giving a sense of rising power. Under the gate, connected to the mountain road, is a ladder that stretches as far as the eye can see.
It is said that this was excavated collectively by monks and believers of the temple. Looking at the long stone steps, two words pop up in my mind - Tianmen.
Wang Jinyi sighed in his heart, no wonder it is called Lingyun Temple! Just looking at the steps gives people a feeling of spiritual sublimation.
Wang Jinyi was sighing when her mother came over from behind and looked out the window.
"This is the road where the accident happened last time. We'll pass by the place where the accident happened later. Let's go down to pay our respects to Aunt Xu. Do you want to go down, Jin'er?"
Wang Jinyi suddenly felt a special warmth flowing through her heart, and a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
Wang Jinyi nodded in agreement. She should indeed pay her respects to the girl she had never met before, for occupying her body and enjoying the love and care of her family...
Is there any special reason for traveling here? Is there anyone else here who has also traveled here?
The carriage slowed down several times and slowly stopped beside the winding mountain road. His mother got off the car to prepare the sacrifice. Hearing his mother and Qing'er talking softly, Wang Jinyi closed his eyes and carefully recalled everything that happened that day.
I was in a car accident on a winding mountain road, and was held in Chen Zhiyuan's arms. I traveled through time and space, and also had a car accident on a mountain road! Did Chen Zhiyuan also travel through time and space like this?
Oh my God, Wang Jinyi’s eyes suddenly opened wide. It turned out that he had just found a clue.
Wang Jinyi took out a palm-sized notebook from his body, and quickly wrote a few words with a half-broken pencil to quickly record his thoughts.
Then he lifted the curtain of the carriage, got off the carriage and walked towards the scene of the incident.
I still remember that when I woke up that day, there was a huge strange rock beside me, and also a rock where my brother had sat. Wang Jinyi ran according to his memory.
Wang Jinyi was about to find the place where she had traveled from. When the servants saw the young lady running down the hillside, they all started shouting:
"Miss!"
"Miss, be careful, don't run!"
Mother and Qing'er were discussing the matter of worshipping Aunt Xu, while Zhu Yu and the wet nurse were placing offerings on the altar.
Suddenly, they heard someone shouting from behind. After finding out the reason, they were all horrified. Everyone put down the offerings in their hands, and the flowers and fruits were piled up on the vehicle. Everyone joined in the pursuit of Wang Jinyi.
Wang Jinyi heard a bunch of people shouting and yelling behind him, but he didn't stop. He wanted to find the place where the incident happened as soon as possible, find the place where he traveled from, and find out the reason...
Zhu Yu ran very fast. After all, he was just a teenager, and he often ran wildly in the wild, full of energy.
Mother and Qing'er couldn't keep up after running and were left behind. Not long after running, the wet nurse also began to breathe heavily. Zhu Yu seemed to be tireless and walked on the bumpy road as if it were flat ground.
Zhu Yu quickly caught up with the coachman. After all, she was the master's daughter, so she could only run after him and not pull him. However, running downhill was not easy. There was always a feeling that she would fall headfirst. Zhu Yu had an advantage because of her short height.
Zhu Yu ran and shouted, "Miss, Miss." "Wait, wait!"
Wang Jinyi ran very fast in front with her short legs, fearing that she would be caught.
Wang Jinyi wanted to verify something in his heart. Seeing that the people behind him dared not to finish, he slowed down a few steps and slowly stopped, bending over and breathing heavily.
After stopping, she found that she had been running too hard and her lungs could no longer bear it. She began to gasp for air and her heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of her mouth. Wang Jinyi quickly stood up and wanted to walk slowly to restore her breathing frequency.
So she walked forward slowly. Zhuyu saw the young lady stopped, but she didn't expect the young lady to walk again. She hurried to her side, but she suddenly tripped and rushed forward. As luck would have it, she rolled down the hillside with Wang Jinyi...
