The scent of sandalwood is faint, and the White Horse Temple is solemn and solemn.
In the Buddhist hall, a huge golden Buddha statue has its hands clasped together and a kind smile on its face. It leans forward at a slight angle and stands tall, looking down at all living beings with great pressure.
Gu Shenqiu, wearing a dirty prison uniform, knelt down under the magnificent Buddha statue, alone and weak.
The officers and soldiers guarding her all held weapons in their hands and looked extremely serious.
Gu Shenqiu couldn't help but close up the loose prison uniform on her body, for fear that they would see the silk tightly wrapped around her chest.
"According to the decree of the Holy One, Xu sent Gu Shenqiu, Taifu Gu's third son, to Baima Temple. I also hope that Abbot Xuanci will ordain him as soon as possible so that I can return to Beijing as soon as possible to fulfill the decree."
"Amitabha, Master Xu, since this is the order of the Holy One, I should obey it, but..." Master Yiyi said slowly, his wrinkled hands slowly twisting the beads, his mind a little deep. .
Xu Yuanfeng frowned, showing displeasure - since it was the emperor's will, how could it be said to be "just"?
Seeing this, Xuanci shook his head. He suppressed the unbearable feeling in his heart and said, "I will finish this matter today."
Xu Yuanfeng then put away his displeasure and continued to sneer triumphantly.
He is the new number one scholar who won the top prize this year, but this official position was bought with a thousand taels of gold. If he had been caught by the Gu family, I am afraid that he should bear the power of the emperor now. Angry.
Xu Yuanfeng looked at Gu Shenqiu who was in such a mess now, and laughed even more - so what about the talented man? Haven't you become the son of a sinner now?
His father was framed by a traitor and was jealous of the emperor. He was dismissed from his position as Tai Tu and exiled to Lingnan. The male members of the family went with him. All the female relatives of the Gu family were reduced to military prostitutes and will remain in low status forever. As the crown prince's companion, Gu Shenqiu was sent to the White Horse Temple on the outskirts of the capital to undergo a tonsure ceremony, convert to Buddhism, and be banned from entering the court forever.
Once the Gu family is overturned, there is no room for recovery!
Xu Yuanfeng glanced sideways at the man kneeling like an ant in Foshan, feeling gloating in his heart.
When no one was paying attention, Gu Shenqiu scratched the ground with her fingers, hatred bursting out of her eyes, but she was helpless and could not accompany her parents.
After a while, the young monk brought the shaving tools.
Xuanci said in a low voice: "Mr. Gu, please allow me to perform the tonsure ceremony for you."
When Gu Shenqiu heard this, she released her clenched hands. She straightened up, raised her eyes and stared at the smiling golden Buddha in the hall, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Master."
This sound is neither humble nor arrogant. It is as clear and clear as water flowing in the mountains. When you hear it, you feel extremely comfortable. It is a pity that fate has played a role in people.
Xuanci sighed secretly in his heart. He took the razor on the plate and walked slowly towards Gu Shenqiu.
Just now I looked at the face of Mr. Gu, but it showed that he still had an unfinished relationship and a love debt. If he entered the White Horse Temple today, he would probably disturb the fate of the people in the world. However, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and this ceremony of tonsure must be performed. …
In order to make it easier for the abbot, Gu Shenqiu raised his hand to untie the rope that bound her long hair. Suddenly, thousands of green hairs suddenly fell out and covered her back.
"Abbott, there is no need to be embarrassed. Since late autumn is here, it is already at the end of the war." So there is no need to cause trouble for her.
Xuanci no longer hesitated and pointed the razor at her hair...
It is very sad that such a glorious person should suffer such an end.
Gu Shenqiu clasped his hands together, suppressed the overwhelming hatred in his heart, and made a wish to the golden Buddha in front of the temple - my first wish is that the world will be peaceful, my second wish is that my family is safe, my third wish...
"Boom——"
"bite!"
The sound of the bell was distant and clear, lingering, but accompanied by a sudden clear sound, it shocked Gu Shenqiu's soul.
[bite! Your sincere "wishes" trigger the "Family Rejuvenation" system, and the system executor Xiaobai Ge is at your service! ]
He had a headache and dizziness, and something seemed to be breaking out of the depths of the sea of consciousness. He was so uncomfortable that Gu Shenqiu couldn't help but bend down slightly and put his hands on the ground.
For a moment, a little white dove with white light all over its body slowly appeared in front of her. The little white dove had snow-white fur. When she opened her mouth, the corresponding text appeared out of thin air——
[It is detected that your soul is missing, and the little white pigeon will forcefully summon the "desire" soul for you! ]
The pain on both sides of his forehead felt as if it had been penetrated. Gu Shenqiu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and groaned under the bone-gnawing pain.
Everyone present suddenly saw her reaction, and they all clenched the knives in their hands.
[The soul of "Desire" has returned to its place, and it is detected that your situation is not very good. The little white pigeon will speed up the rescue progress for you! ]
"Wait!"
[bite! Rescue help has been sent! ]
Suddenly a person appeared at the door of the main hall. He had cold eyebrows and eyes like stars. His dark black robe was stained with dust. His clothes were elegant and he had a fierce aura.
A sudden scolding caused the officers and soldiers surrounding Gu Shenqiu to suddenly turn their swords and point them at the door of the hall.
Standing with a gun in hand, the man at the door cast his eyes on Gu Shenqiu, who was kneeling in front of the hall, and asked sternly: "Who dares to touch her?"
[bite! Please cooperate in the rescue. This successful cooperation will speed up the rejuvenation of the family by 1. ]
The pain gradually disappeared, and Gu Shenqiu kept breathing heavily, feeling like he was reborn after a disaster.
She raised her head slightly, focused her eyes, and looked at the little white dove that appeared out of thin air in front of her with confusion.
[You look better with your soul intact~]
[Gu Shenqiu:...]
Gu Shenqiu shook her head and blinked, and then she was convinced that the little white pigeon in front of her was not her imagination.
[Please cooperate with General Jiang's rescue. This successful cooperation will speed up the rejuvenation of the family by 1. ]
General Jiang? General Jiang is...
Gu Shenqiu couldn't help but tremble slightly when a person appeared in the sea of consciousness.
When Xu Yuanfeng saw the visitor, he was trembling and did not dare to say anything.
Rumor has it that Jiang Liangcheng, the general of Zhenbei, was extremely cruel in killing people. Whenever he captured an enemy leader, he would brutally cut off his head and hang it on the city wall, exposing it to the sun for five days. There were also rumors that he had his hands cut off when he was young. Uncle Ren, his own brother who drowned, even took the life of his mother with his own hands, which was extremely ruthless.
"Amitabha, Donor Jiang, you are well." Xuanci still twirled the beads in his hand and greeted him politely.
When Jiang Liangcheng heard this, he moved his eyes slightly and nodded slightly to show respect.
After all, Xu Yuanfeng had the highest official position here. He suppressed his fear, stood up with trembling legs, and said tremblingly: "The emperor has given an imperial edict and sent Gu Shenqiu to the White Horse Temple. He will not be allowed to enter the court for the rest of his life. "Tang, is General Zhenbei trying to resist the decree?"
Jiang Liangcheng stepped into the hall, glanced sideways, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
Xu Yuanfeng was startled, and immediately grabbed an officer and hid behind him, thinking to himself that General Zhenbei was really scary, but there was someone behind him, and he didn't believe what this person dared to do to him.
So he boldly replied: "I am the number one scholar newly elected by the emperor this year!"
"So what?!" Jiang Liangcheng asked sharply, with murderous intent.
Xu Yuanfeng fell silent for a moment.
Xuanci hurriedly advised: "Amitabha, Donor Jiang, in this important place of Buddhism, please do not go on a killing spree."
Such persuasion was able to calm down the murderous intention in Jiang Liangcheng's chest and belly. Jiang Liangcheng glanced around with a cold expression, and finally set his sights on Gu Shenqiu in front of the hall.
Gu Shenqiu is a woman, and her figure is much thinner than that of an average man. At this moment, she is kneeling under the Buddhist temple. Compared with the huge Buddha statue in front of the temple, she looks extremely petite, and her long hair is like a waterfall. It hangs down her back, and contrasts with the thin white prison uniform on her body, making her even more lonely and helpless.
"Brother Gu, Jiang has been fond of you since he was a child. I wonder if you are willing to marry Jiang?"
