Chapter 452: Yunmeng's Heir Has a Fate
Love in this world is fleeting, and all the prosperity in this world is just a dream!
Yunmeng Temple is located in Yunku Mountain in the south of Yingzhou. Some people say that this is the place where infatuated women in the world are redeemed, some say that this is the place of belonging for heartbroken women in the world, and some say that this is the place where women in the world seek the way to immortality. There are even rumors that Yunmeng Temple can resolve all the knots of women in the world!
Actually, Yunmeng Nunnery is a nunnery! However, this is not an ordinary nunnery, but a nunnery that only accepts women who practice Taoism. Because of this, Yunmeng Nunnery is actually a sect of Taoism, but it does not seek the name of Taoism!
Just as the couplet in front of the nunnery gate says, there is no worldly love in Yunmeng Nunnery, no worldly prosperity, only a lonely lamp, a miserable woman, and evening tea with green lamps!
Yunku Mountain, Xuechan Mountain, and Cangyun Peaks are in the shape of a triangle and are located on the land south of Yingzhou. To the west of Yunku Mountain is the Gongsun family, to the east of the Cangyun Peaks is the Huangfu family, to the north of Xuechan Mountain are the Ouyang family and the Shangguan family, and the area in the middle is a free land.
Only the Ancient Buddha Sect and the Cang Yun Sect knew that Yunmeng Temple was as powerful as the other two sects. It was a pity that Yunmeng Temple was far away from the world.
On this day, a woman came from Yunku Mountain. She wore a veil on her head, with her face covered by a light yellow veil. She was dressed in a light blue plum blossom skirt, a yellow brocade belt around her waist, and dark green Dengyun boots on her feet. She walked step by step along the stone steps in the mountain towards Yunmeng Temple.
The snow on the stone steps in Yunku Mountain had been cleared. The woman must have walked a long way, perhaps to see the beautiful snow scenery of Yunku Mountain. Anyway, she walked and stopped, looking back from time to time. She seemed very hesitant.
No matter how long the stone steps were, no matter how hesitant she was, no matter how beautiful the snow scenery in the Yunku Cave was, she finally arrived in front of Yunmeng Temple.
The woman pushed aside her veil, revealing her stunning face. It was Ouyang Zhiqing who left Zhongzhou and headed north!
Ouyang Zhiqing rushed from Zhongzhou to Yingzhou. Just like when she went to Yunmeng Temple, she kept stopping and starting, always looking back at the road she had come from. Her heart was conflicted, hesitant, and confused, so she walked very slowly along the way! But she finally entered Yingzhou and soon arrived at Jianying City.
Ouyang Zhiqing looked in shock at the small houses behind Yunmeng Temple on Yunku Mountain. They were built against the mountain in a stair-like shape, going up the mountain, a bit like waves, one after another.
Ouyang Zhiqing whispered to herself:
"Are there so many emotionally hurt women in the world of cultivation?"
Ouyang Zhiqing had heard of the name of Yunmeng Temple and had some understanding of it, otherwise she would not have appeared in Yunku Mountain. However, when she saw it with her own eyes today, she was still shocked.
Ouyang Zhiqing suddenly discovered that there were so many women practicing Taoism in the world who had the same state of mind as her. It seemed that being a nun far away from the world was not lonely!
Ouyang Zhiqing turned her head and looked at the couplet. Wasn’t it talking about her?
The past forty years have been like a dream, and love, hate, and vengeance are all just passing clouds!
Ouyang Zhiqing knelt devoutly in front of Yunmeng Temple, kowtowed three times towards the temple, then stood up and walked into Yunmeng Temple.
Ji Yihong would never have dreamed that he had always felt that the small courtyard in Zhongzhou was like a nunnery, but now, his mother actually walked into a nunnery. From the imitation to the reality, Ouyang Zhiqing had endured twenty years!
There was no one to receive guests in Yunmeng Temple. There was a huge incense burner in the courtyard. The fragrance was still lingering and light smoke was curling up!
Ouyang Zhiqing lit three incense sticks and knelt down and kowtowed three times. Her heart was sincere, but she knew that there were still things in her heart that she could not let go.
Ouyang Zhiqing walked forward and came to the nunnery with the words "Ku Yun" written on it. Ouyang Zhiqing was about to step in.
"Please stop, lady!"
Inside the Kuyun Hall, there was a nun wearing a grey Dharma hat and grey coarse cloth. She was sitting cross-legged with her back to Ouyang Zhiqing, and she spoke out to stop her!
Ouyang Zhiqing bowed and said:
"Master, I am a junior..."
Ouyang Zhiqing didn't know what to say. She was just passing by to take a look. She was looking for a way for her future. She thought all the way. After she finished the matter of Jianying City, where should she go?
Passing by here today, Ouyang Zhiqing climbed up the Yunku Mountain. Perhaps she will come here after leaving Jianying City!
"Master, I came here because of your reputation. I want to find a place to live for the rest of my life. I hope you will take me in!"
"Yunmeng Temple is a place of mind but not body. The donor has too many concerns in his heart. You cannot enter Yunmeng Temple until the worldly affairs are over!"
The old nun in gray still didn't turn around.
Ouyang Zhiqing also knew that she still had some unfinished business, and it was inappropriate for her to come here today. After a little thought, she knelt in front of Kuyun Hall, kowtowed three times, and said:
"When the worldly affairs are over, I will definitely return to Yunmeng!"
After saying that, she stood up and left Kuyun Hall and walked out of Yunmeng Temple. This might be her future home!
This quiet cloud cave, these curling fragrant clouds, this cage far away from the hustle and bustle, isn’t this exactly what she wants in her heart?
The old nun in gray still didn't stand up, and didn't even care about Ouyang Zhiqing's departure. But when Ouyang Zhiqing left Yunmeng Temple, the Buddhist beads she had been twisting gently in her hand broke and shattered all over the ground. More than a dozen Buddhist beads fell to the ground of Kuyun Hall with a crackling sound.
The old nun in gray looked normal, but her brows were furrowed. She looked down at the remaining Buddhist bead in her hand, on which was engraved the word "dream"!
"Master, the person Yunmeng Temple has been waiting for has arrived, but she is still in the mortal world!"
After the gray-robed old nun finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the Kuyun Hall. Looking at the incense burner, there were three incense sticks that were not burning. They were the three incense sticks that Ouyang Zhiqing had lit!
Ouyang Zhiqing quickly walked down Yunku Mountain. This time she did not hesitate, and her heart seemed to be much more relaxed. Yunmeng Temple was her final destination in this life. This was her own decision, but she did not know that the incense she lit was not burning!
When Ouyang Zhiqing was about to walk out of Yunku Mountain, she saw a female nun with her back to her on the stone steps leading down the mountain. She felt that she was very familiar with her. After a little thought, she recognized that this person was the one in Kuyun Hall.
Ouyang Zhiqing bowed and said:
"Master, I have finished my worldly affairs and will come to Yunmeng Temple again!"
"It is easy to get rid of worldly affairs but hard to get rid of the heart. Your love affair with the world is not over yet. If you feel uneasy in the future, you can use these Buddhist beads to calm your mind and cultivate your character!"
After the gray-robed old nun finished speaking, a Buddhist bead flew towards Ouyang Zhiqing.
Although Ouyang Zhiqing caught the Buddhist beads, she didn't understand what the master meant!
"My disciple is ignorant, please enlighten me, Master!"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be here today!"
After the old nun in gray finished speaking, there was a flash of light and she disappeared.
Ouyang Zhiqing walked down Yunku Mountain full of doubts.
On the stone steps of Yunku Mountain behind Ouyang Zhiqing, the old nun in gray appeared again, quietly watching Ouyang Zhiqing going away. She held a Buddhist bead in her hand, and vaguely, it was the word "cloud"!
"Master, why would the person who inherits Yunmeng Temple be a woman with an unfinished love relationship? I just can't figure it out!"
Not long after Ouyang Zhiqing came down the mountain, she met a man and a woman. The woman was dressed in white and covered with a yellow veil. The man? He was dressed like a waiter and was drinking!
The two people were none other than the head of Tianji Pavilion and the old beggar who came down from the Ancient Buddhist Sect!
Two masked women passed each other. Ouyang Zhiqing walked forward as usual, but the woman in white stopped, turned around and looked at Ouyang Zhiqing who was walking away, frowning as if she was thinking about something.
"Where are you taking me? I'm really fine now, you can go!"
The old beggar never thought that after living a free life for the rest of his life, he was now forced to go with a woman. Although this was for his own good, the injury he suffered was a bit strange and it would probably take more than a month or more for it to heal!
The woman in white muttered to herself:
"Why is she here?"
Turning to look at the old beggar, she really wanted to laugh!
"I'm afraid you'll be killed by the Ancient Buddha Sect! I finally rescued you, I can't save a dead person, right?"
"Bah! What's so difficult about you? I have seen through your Ji family. None of you are good!"
The woman in white smiled when she heard this and said softly:
"None of them are good. Why are you still investigating Ji Yichen? Do you want me to tell you who he is? Your apprentice's lover is from the Ji family. Do you think he is a good person?"
The old beggar looked at the woman in white in shock, and after a long while he spoke:
"You, are you really the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion?"
The old beggar had been doubting the identity of the woman in white from the beginning to the end, because how could the leader of Tianji Pavilion be so young?
"You are all interested in him, which makes me interested too. How did he survive back then?"
The woman in white continued walking forward while talking to herself, and the place she was taking the old beggar to was exactly where Ouyang Zhiqing left!
Yunmeng Temple!
