Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight - Chapter 163
The cheerful and melodious music stopped, and the maiko leaned over on the stage slightly, her dress slipped down, revealing snow-white fragrant shoulders, her eyes flowed, soft and charming, and she withdrew with a sweet smile.
After the Maiko retired, the music became vigorous and vigorous. A group of shirtless male dancers wearing only wide-leg pants climbed onto the high stage, imitating the fighting posture and danced with dense drum beats, fierce and brave. They danced martial arts. .
The audience thundered and cheered.
Yaoying watched with gusto, shook her head, glanced back at Tamaraga, hesitated to speak, and smiled slightly.
He is a monk, and she can’t take him to discuss how beautiful singing and dancing are.
He was able to accompany her to travel in this way, which surprised her very much.
With his back to the car window, Tamaraga concentrated on handling the general affairs, all his sharpness was converged in the gentle and graceful cold, his vigor was solemn, and his manner was solemn. The light coming in from the slit of the car curtain cuts through his side face, and outlines a deep and clear line. When viewed from a distance, the top of his head has a fluffy light green. When you are close, the hair stubble is actually very shallow. It is very shallow, almost invisible.
Yaoying looked at him in a daze, and a question emerged in her heart: Does he shave his stubble every few days?
Tamara Gha raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes questioning.
Why didn’t you watch it?
Yaoying returned to her senses, smiled in a concealed manner, and said, “Master, I’ll get off the car and go shopping.”
Tamara Gaya nodded, “Let Bamirs follow you.”
She hummed and got out of the carriage. There are many people wearing masks in the market, and the figure of her and her guards are mixed in the crowd, and they are not conspicuous.
Today is the last day of the event. The market is more lively than the previous few days. Businessmen from all over the world shouted in different languages, selling everything.
Yaoying bought it all the way, and found that every ten steps, he could see soldiers patrolling back and forth. There was an assassination of dead men a few days ago, and the Guards should have sent additional manpower.
There were a few people who looked like herdsmen selling thorn honey, Yaoying walked over and bought all the thorn honey.
The season of harvesting prickly honey has passed. It is rare to see grapes as big as grapes, and she will buy them all when she sees good ones.
After walking around like this, Yaoying looked back, and the carriage was parked in the corner with the curtain hanging down.
The Tamaraga in the carriage must still be reading the documents.
Even if he is in the dust, he is still a tall Buddha, incompatible with the bustling city.
Yaoying couldn’t help thinking: As a Buddha, he lives in simplicity and usually only attends important ceremonies and celebrations. Is this the first time he left the Wang Temple in private as a Buddha?
A figure walked towards her, and Bamier immediately stepped forward to block the people.
The visitor took off the mask on his face, revealing a smiling young face, and the young man made an inviting gesture towards Yaoying.
Bamir put down his vigilance and whispered to Yaoying: “He wants to invite you to dance.”
Yaoying shook her head.
The young man showed disappointment, stood up straight, stretched his posture, showing his tall and brave figure.
Yaoying still shook her head.
The young man sighed lonely, smiled, plucked a flower and handed it to Yaoying.
Bamir said: “Today is the last day of the event. Everyone gave flowers to each other and splashed water to bless each other and play, and you will be fine if you accept it.”
Yaoying looked at the carriage, the curtains were tightly around her, she couldn’t see the situation inside, after thinking about it, she shook her head.
The young man showed a look of surprise, he hurriedly put away his joking attitude, held his fist to apologize to Bamier, and left with the flower.
Yaoying looked up at Bamir.
Bamir stiffened and said awkwardly: “Today, young people can express their admiration by giving flowers to their admired girls or lords, regardless of their status. No matter how many people give flowers, you can accept them. Unless you are in your heart. You just refused to accept it, he thought you already have a confirmed lover.”
He stood beside the princess, looking alert, the young man regarded him as the princess’s lover.
Lover?
Yaoying said these two words silently in her heart, her lips couldn’t help but smile.
Bamier didn’t dare to laugh, and looked back at the carriage carefully, feeling as if two eyes were falling on him, in a cold sweat, subconsciously standing a little further away from Yaoying.
There was a martial arts dance on the stage. All the costumed dancers left the color shed and walked into the crowd, singing and dancing. The people shook with them. The young teenage girls and youths danced around arm in arm in a warm atmosphere. .
Yaoying looked around for a while before exiting the crowd.
There were shouts of joy not far away, and a group of young people ran past her with a few wooden barrels, laughing.
The sound of music became more rapid.
Bamir’s expression changed, and he said, “No! Let’s go back soon.”
Before Yaoying had time to ask anything, there were a few crashes. Several young people picked up the tub and laughed while splashing water on the crowd. They were so close, a basin of cold water was poured over them, and all of them were drenched. write.
The young man leaned forward with a smile and continued to pour water on them.
Bamiir changed color in amazement, reaching out to draw a knife.
Yaoying stopped him: “I’ve heard about the customs of the royal court. This is their blessing and it won’t get in the way.”
The water splashing ceremony came from Tianzhu, and later spread to the royal court with the spread of Buddhism. There will be water splashing rituals in the royal court bathing Buddha, begging for the cold and other grand festivals. People splashing water as a play and bless each other.
Bamiel bowed back, stood in front of her, and protected her back.
After the singing and dancing, the people are reveling. With the bright and sonorous drumbeat, the waterwheels that have been prepared drove into the long street. People rushed forward, splashing each other, and under the sun, the water splashed, reflecting the five colors. Light.
Rao Yaoying and his group speeded up their pace to leave Long Street, but they were still splashed with a lot of water by pedestrians on the road.
When she returned to the carriage, Yaoying’s clothes were soaked, and even her hair was wet. Water drops dripped down the cuffs, hem, and hair.
Bamir stood outside and pleaded guilty.
Tamaraga frowned slightly.
Yaoying took off her mask, chuckled, and didn’t look angry at all: “It’s a blessing, it’s all blessings.”
Tamaraga looked at her wet face, and handed her a veil: “Wipe.”
He has read a lot of books in the Central Plains and knows that the Central Plains is different from the Wang Ting. The tribal system and enfeoffment system of the Wang Ting are completely different from the Central Plains, and the customs are also very different. She is very able to follow the customs.
Yaoying wiped her face and gave a shock. The weather has recently cooled down, although it is daytime, the wet clothes on the body are also a bit cold.
Tamaraga’s gaze fell on her.
She shrank in the corner of the carriage, untied her drenched bun, twisted it, and her thick, black hair fell wet, venting over her shoulders. The skirt on the body is light and thin. After being wet, it clings to the skin, like the delicate petals that have just been dyed a little bit of rouge in the early spring. , Slightly protruding snow chest, slender and soft waist, looming in the dim light.
Further down, she could even see her slender legs faintly, and her whole body was damp.
Tamara Gha immediately looked away. He was definitely not looking at her intentionally, but when he caught it, he could have a panoramic view.
In the small carriage, a faint fragrance floats, and her breath is everywhere.
Tamara Gha put down the parchment, picked up a thin blanket, wrapped Yaoying’s whole body in, and gathered them tightly, “Don’t freeze.”
Yaoying grabbed the thin blanket and smiled at him, her cheeks flushed like a peach blossom.
Tamaraga retracted his hand, closed his eyes, retreated to the other side of the carriage, turned his back, tapped on the felt curtain, and signaled Bamier to return to the Wang Temple quickly.
The carriage speeded up. After walking for a few miles, it slowed down again. The surrounding people were noisy. Bamier said outside the curtain of the car: “It’s jammed in front. There is a delegation going into the city by elephants, and they can’t move half of the streets. .”
Yaoying lifted a corner of the driving curtain and looked out. She really saw a few elephants walking slowly along the long street.
I don’t know which country’s embassy is, but the entrance ceremony is so particular.
Tamara Ka handed out a bronze talisman.
Bamier took the bronze talisman and went to the guard officer. After a while, the carriage turned into a lane, and the road was unimpeded, and soon he arrived at the Wang Temple, but instead of entering the temple door, he went to the deep courtyards outside the Wang Temple wall. Mansion.
One of the mansions is the residence of Tamaraga. There is a secret road leading to the temple and the hot spring. He has been training here these days.
The carriage drove directly into the courtyard, Yaoying got out of the carriage under a blanket, she had to wash and change clothes quickly.
The soldiers sent hot water. She took a bath and put on her robe. Yuanjue came over with a bowl of medicine: “The king said that the princess had a cold today. Not bitter.”
A warm current rushed through my heart, Yaoying took the bowl and drank the medicinal soup in one breath.
She asked the soldiers to give Li Zhongqian the things she bought in the market place, and walked into the house.
The owner of the monastery reported something important, and Tan Moroga went to the monastery.
Yaoying found a copper vase, inserted a budding flower into it, and placed it next to the bookcase of Tamaraga. After reading it for a while, she felt that it was not appropriate, so she moved the copper vase to the corner and thought about it. Thinking, moved the copper bottle back again.
After a while, she took the copper bottle away and placed it under the soil outside the window.
The soldiers came to report: “Princess, your letter, some foreign envoys want to see you, Xie Quan brought people here.”
Yaoying read the letter, couldn’t believe it, was surprised and delighted: “Hurry up and ask the mage to come in!”
She couldn’t wait, and walked out quickly with the letter.
A few men in turbans walked in under the leadership of the soldiers. The headed man had an old face, and his eyes shone with wise light. When he saw her, he smiled slightly, his hands clasped together.
Yaoying stepped forward quickly and smiled back: “Master, don’t come here without problems.”
The man standing in front of her is the monk who met in Chang’an before and met again in the royal court, and then separated.
Dima Munda smiled: “The princess is more and more glamorous.”
Yaoying smiled. Dipo Munda has been dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles for a long time. This habit of being obedient to everyone has not changed: “The mage has come to the king’s court, why didn’t you mention it to me? I will let the caravan take care of the mage.”
Deva Munda said slowly and authentically: “I left the royal court before because the water and grass can suppress the king’s injury, but it cannot cure it. After returning to Tianzhu, I traveled around and searched for medical books, although I did not find a cure for the king’s disease. , But I got a little bit. In addition, I received the letter from the princess, so I came back to diagnose and treat the king. It is also a coincidence that a delegation came to the palace where I visited. I was on the same road with them, which saved a lot of trouble. .”
Yaoying kept communicating with Deva Munda, asking how to heal Tamaraga. She guessed that Deva Munda came back for Tamaraga’s body, but she was afraid that she had guessed wrong. Now that her guess was confirmed, she was overjoyed. I was so excited that I couldn’t speak for a long time.
She sent people to the Wang Temple to spread the letter.
Soon, Bi Suo, who heard the news, rushed over first, and ecstatically led Deva Munda to see Tamaraga.
Tamaragarh returned to the courtyard from the Wang Temple, and when he saw Deva Munda, he was stunned and calm.
The inner room was quiet, and the candlelight flickered.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Deva Munda first saluted Tamara Gha, diagnosed his pulse, checked his pulse, frowned, and sighed.
“Since the separation, presumably the king is still working hard, practising exercises…”
Bi Suo sighed deeply and asked anxiously, “Do you have a cure?”
Deva Munda shook her head: “I haven’t found it, but I have found a few magic formulas that I can try.”
After hearing the first half, Bi Suo was a little disappointed, but when he heard that he could try the magic formula, his face showed expectation again.
Tamara Gaya didn’t change his face, and said flatly: “I’m tired of the mage.”
Deva Munda smiled and humbly said: “The king led the army to defeat the Bei Rong, frightening the Quartet, and all the countries are attached. In the troubled times, Wang Yi’s personal factors are safe for all the people. If he can cure the king, he can guarantee peace for decades. Stability, benefiting tens of thousands of living beings. I dare not call it tired.”
Bi Suo smiled and said, “The mage’s residence has been cleaned up. This time the mage will have to stay longer.”
Deva Munda smiled and said, “Regardless of whether the magic formula is effective or not, I will stay in the court of the king.”
Bi Suo happily rubbed his hands with joy.
Tamara Gha turned his gaze on Munda Deva’s face, and looked at the swaying candlelight, “Life and death are impermanent, everything is empty, and cannot be forced. The mage said that it can’t heal my illness, and it won’t come back again. King Court.”
He and Deva Munda had different ideas, but they respected each other and would not accuse each other’s way. After Deva Munda had completed the agreement, he set off for Tianzhu and didn’t need to come back again.
Deva Munda nodded: “Before I leave, I do feel that I will never return to the royal court in this life.”
The way he pursued is not in the royal court.
“Why did the mage look back?”
Devata Munda looked at Tamara Gha, and replied, “For two people.”
Tamara Gha raised his eyes.
Bi Suo looked blank, “For whom besides the king?”
Didn’t the mage come back for Tamaragarh?
Dipo Munda prayed together, “It’s also for Princess Wen Zhao.”
Tamara Gha looked at him, but didn’t say anything for a while.
Deva Munda took out a few letters from her sleeve, placed them on the long case, and spread them out. The handwriting on the envelope was beautiful and graceful.
Tamara Gha looked down and picked up the letter.
The first letter was written a year ago, and he recognized Yaoying’s handwriting.
In the letter, she said that her illness was getting worse, and asked Deva Munda how to relieve the pain.
The symptoms mentioned in the letter are all his symptoms.
He picked up another letter, which was written ten months ago, still asking about symptoms, this time asking more specifically.
At that time, she didn’t know the strange and weird methods he was practicing, and even guessed it. She thought that he used the pill to stimulate his power, and was backlashed by the pill, and asked a lot about the pill. Her mother was mad because of Tianzhu pill. She was afraid that he would take too much pill.
Tamara Gha continued to read the letter.
In the next letter, she apparently knew that he had practiced the secret technique of Buddhism, and asked about the secret technique of Tianzhu, and asked Deva Munda to help inquire whether Tianzhu had practiced similar exercises and whether there was a way to completely cure him.
After reading the last letter, Tamaraga closed his eyes.
She lied to him.
She said that after that farewell, she would never come back, would never write to him again, would never mention him…
But she wrote a letter to Deva Munda and discussed his condition with Deva Munda.
Even if she decides to have nothing to do with him, she will still care about his body silently.
Although these letters were all self-reported in her tone, and there were no words about him and the royal court, Tamara Gha knew that these letters were all written for him.
She was afraid that the letter would reveal his secrets when it fell into the hands of others, so the letter was written in a cryptic manner, not an insider, and she couldn’t understand it even if it was intercepted.
Deva Munda traveled all over the world, and she was far apart. She would definitely write a few identical letters every once in a while and send them out to ensure that the letters could finally be delivered to Deva Munda.
The room was quiet for a long time.
Bi Suo’s heart trembled, and he didn’t speak for a long time. He couldn’t understand Chinese characters, but he could guess who wrote the letter.
Divina Munda slowly said: “Princess Wen Zhao is kind to me, and it is related by fate. After I left the royal court, the princess often wrote to me to inquire about the king’s condition, and sent a caravan to Tianzhu to look for a famous doctor. I found it. Some of those magical prescriptions are recommended by famous doctors. The princess has been sending people to look for famous doctors from all over the world.”
Tamaraga tightened his fingers and squeezed the letter paper.
…
Yaoying personally took people to see the residence prepared for Divas Munda, and asked them to remove a few furnishings.
Just as he was instructed, the soldiers came to report: “The princess, there is also a letter, sent by the person who came with Master Munda.”
Yaoying took the letter, read it, raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“I forgot to ask you, with which country’s mission did Master Munda Diva come with?”
“Back to the princess, it seems to be called Maru Country.”
Yaoying received the letter.
It turns out that the few elephants that I saw today were contributed by Maru Kingdom, and it was a coincidence that Divas Munda was walking with them.
“Princess, the messenger of Maru also left a message.”
“What did the messenger say?”
The soldier coughed slightly and whispered: “The messenger said that the princess did not expect to succeed. The princess helped him fulfill his wish, and he can also let the princess succeed in the shortest time. Although his magic weapons were confiscated by the royal court , But there is still a lot left, and he can teach each other.”
Yaoying’s mouth twitched.

I forgot to mark it in the previous chapter. The monk’s dreams refer to the Ksitigarbha Sutra and Amitabha Sutra respectively. The dream is the monk who sees a beam of light in the **** and then enters the world of bliss (the legendary pure land)
