Shuiyue Temple, on the side of the Mianyue Mountain Range, which is less than ten kilometers away from the Piaolan Valley where Changfeng lives, is called Shuiyue Mountain. The presiding teacher of Shuiyue Temple is called "Jingshan". He is an old nun who is nearly fifty years old. I am afraid that there are only a few people who know her origin. At least two or three people in the world know it now. The temple is small and there are naturally less incense. Throughout the year, I am so familiar with a few pilgrims who come to worship Buddha, burn incense, and donate some incense money. This is the only source of income in the temple. No matter what, some old friends who hosted the temple went up the mountain to visit her. There are only seven nuns in the temple, and one of them practiced with hair. Usually, there are their own farmland in the temple, so they can be self-sufficient. Don’t worry about living until they are alive.

"Furong, do you know why Master gave you the Dharma name "Yishan"?" Master Jingshan asked the young nun with the Dharma name "Yishan" kneeling in the nun.

"The disciple only knows that he belongs to the Yi generation. As for why the master gave his disciple the Dharma name "Yishan", he doesn't know." The nun kneeling on the ground replied.

"You already know my true identity, and it's okay to tell you some things. In fact, I have always treated you as my daughter. You know. Your father asked me to accept you as his apprentice back then, but you thought I didn't know what he thought. I shouldn't have accepted you, but when I saw you, I remembered how similar I was to you back then, so I accepted you as your apprentice, and even passed on the robe and bowl to you. If you want to lead a train to practice, I promised you, and I would give you what I shouldn't teach you." Jingshan suddenly said such touching words, which made "Yishan" kneeling on the ground a little at a loss. I don't know why Master Jingshan, who is a teacher and his mother, said so many words.

"What's wrong with Master today? Why did you suddenly say these words to your disciples?" Yishan asked anxiously.

"You are about to leave Shuiyue Temple, so of course you have to say something to your master." Jingshan kindly stroked the little nun Yishan's head.

"Master, when did I say I was leaving here?" Yishan asked in surprise.

"In the past few days, I have always felt a little uneasy. I have been going up the mountain for almost ten years, and you have been unwilling to enter Buddhism. You can't keep you in the temple. You must leave. I also think that you have grown up and can take care of yourself, so I asked you to go down the mountain to find your father." Master Jingshan explained to his favorite disciple.

"I haven't learned any of the things that my master has done. I still want to stay in the temple to serve my master." The little nun Yishan said with a little choking.

"Silly girl, what's so sad about this? Master knows that you are making Master happy, but Master is still very happy. You are the same as your father's temper and personality." Jingshan gently stroked Yishan's head and taught him a gentle lesson.

"For so many years, my father has never given up and advised you to return to secular life. I think my father must be thinking about his master at this time." Yishan burst into tears and said with a smile.

"It's so old, I'm still joking about Master. Master has already jumped out of the seven emotions and six desires. He is a Buddhist. He will no longer have children's love for him. Don't mention it again in the future." Jingshan said seriously, and there was still a trace of nostalgia in his words.

"From the master's expression, I have not completely forgotten my father, otherwise why would I talk to my disciples in such harsh words?" Yishan took the opportunity to tease his master.

"Damn girl, this is not what a person who has been practicing for ten years. It depends on the master not to peel off your skin." Jingshan said such words to Yishan when other disciples were not around.

"Master, I will never dare again next time." Yishan quickly admitted his mistake. It was very terrible for his master to get angry. It was this temper that made her father angry. Dad left for three years and thought he would never come again. So the master became a monk and became a nun in anger. Dad got back and married his mother and gave birth to her. It was Yishan. Later, his mother died. Dad found Jingshan, who became a nun in such a small temple. At that time, Jingshan was already in charge, so he naturally refused to return to secular life. Dad was discouraged and didn't know who reignited his hope.

Wang Zhihuo, ten years ago, he first made Jingshan take him as his apprentice, and in the past ten years, her father would go up the mountain once a year, constantly persuading Jingshan to return to secular life. It has not changed for ten years. Originally, Lian Yishan was so affectionate to his father for women other than his mother, and he was already sorry for her mother, so he often destroyed her father's plan of persuasion. In the past two years, Yishan has gradually been moved by his father's sincere feelings, and learned about the unforgettable past between the two of them back then, and turned into a plan of persuasion between the father and daughter, but it has not been successful yet.

"Okay, you can clean up tonight. Tomorrow, say goodbye to your senior sister and junior sisters. Just go down the mountain by yourself. I have prepared the silver for you to go down the mountain for you. I will ask Yiqing to hand it over to you. I will come back to see your master more if you have time." After Jingshan said that, she went back to Hou'an to serve her flowers and plants, leaving Yishan alone in the temple to stare blankly.

It was Yiqing who asked this junior sister to have dinner, otherwise she would have forgotten to eat dinner. The senior sister and sister in the nunnery seemed to know that she was going down the mountain. Dinner was almost rich during the New Year or the Buddha's birthday.

Early the next morning, the senior sister handed her a package. It contained some broken silver and several clothes worn by lay women. Without Shuiyue'an, she was no longer a Buddhist. She should be dressed in a layman.

She changed her nun outfit and then put on women's clothes. Master Jingshan did not come out to send her, so she asked Yiqing to give her a letter to her father, and there was also a verbal message that Jingshan began to retreat last night and would not see anyone again within three years.

Yishan, no, now he should be called Dongfang Furong, so he had to leave Shuiyue Temple with tears in his eyes and go to reunite with his biological father.

After Dongfang Shuo and Lin Qimeng and the others left Lin Mansion, they quickly claimed the hypocrisy to Lin Yunbao that they would deal with it with some personal matters while the lady was out. Lin Yunbao had no good impression of Mr. Dongxi, who was overshadowed by the hostess. It would be better if you didn't appear in front of me, so of course he agreed happily.

Dongfang Shuo rushed to Shuiyue Mountain all the way to visit his biological daughter Dongfang Furong, the little nun Yishan.

The horse stopped at the foot of the mountain because he found a man who was in a daze and was descending from the mountain. It was Dongfang Furong who had recovered his women's clothing. Dongfang Shuo quickly dismounted and greeted him.

When the father and daughter met, they were naturally excited. After expressing their longing, Dongfang Shuo remembered the purpose of the trip and said, "Furong, why did you go down the mountain and return to women's clothing?"

"Master said that my body does not belong to Buddhism, and I also said that I learned all her abilities, so I drove me down the mountain." Dongfang Furong still feels wronged. Why did Master drive herself down the mountain so cruelly?

"Why is this happening? Aren't you doing well on the mountain? No, my father went to ask that old nun Jingshan to judge!" Dongfang Shuo pulled up his daughter and rushed up the mountain.

"Dad is probably not just a judge for his daughter. Do you want to see his master?" How could Dongfang Furong not know what she thought about her own father?

Dongfang Shuo stopped and said, "So what?"

"Master started to retreat after I left, and no one saw him!" Dongfang Furong said.

"It's outrageous. Isn't this obvious that I don't want to see me?" Dongfang Shuo cursed at Shuiyue's temple on the mountainside in anger.

"Master, you must have gone up the mountain to find her, so he has written a letter asking his daughter to pass it on to you." Dongfang Furong knew not to tease her father anymore.

Dongfang Shuo immediately smiled and scolded, "You little girl, you are still scheming your father, why don't you take it out and show it to your father quickly."

"Dad was happy when he heard that his master had a letter. He didn't care about me, his biological daughter." Dongfang Furong took out Master Jingshan's handwritten letter from his bag and complained to Dongfang Shuo.

"How can dad not care about his baby daughter? Don't listen to the old nun's nonsense." Dongfang Shuo smiled awkwardly.

"Dad, you call your master and old nun, be careful that you will die after you come out of seclusion." Dongfang Furong threatened.

"She was originally an old nun, so why didn't she call her that?" Dongfang Shuo opened her letter and continued casually.

Dongfang Furong was too lazy to argue with him and said, "Dad, what did Master tell you in the letter?"

After reading the letter, Dongfang Shuo said with a heavy face: "This is my relationship with your master, so don't worry too much."

"What happened? Why did my father look unhappy when he saw the letter?" Dongfang Furong asked unwillingly.

"Don't ask, no matter how much you beg me, I won't tell you. Let's go with my dad." Dongfang Shuo seemed to have changed his personal opinion.

Dongfang Shuo bought a horse in the horse market at the foot of the mountain, and added his original one, one by one, and headed towards Hailing City.

“Hanliang:

For so many years, you have been advising me to return to secular life, which has made me stagnant in Buddhism for a long time. In the past few years, Furong has also been on your side, and has given you a lot of convenience. The conflict between you father and daughter has also been resolved. I am very happy for you. This retreat is mainly to avoid you. In fact, I can't let you go. If you hadn't left me in anger for three years and your father forced me to get married, I wouldn't have become a monk. More than twenty years have passed in a flash, and the grudges of the past have already ended. I know you will not give up. I know you too much. Over the years, I have studied divination and astrology. Even Furong doesn't know these things. I know that if you don't give up, you will not stop. Now I will make a bet with you on this matter. If you win, I will return to secular life and marry you. If you lose, don't bother with the poor nun.

The question I bet on with you is: Furong's numerology. As long as you can calculate Furong's future destiny within three years, just like what I calculated, even if you win, you will lose, and don't bother me again in the future.

Jingshan Jingsheng

On the 10th day of the 20th year of Tianbao”

Dongfang Shuo rode on the horse and thought about the content of the letter written by Master Jingshan to him.

"Dad, why are you feeling uneasy? If you have any worries to let your daughter share your worries!" Dongfang Furong saw something wrong with Dongfang Shuo on the horse's back and asked.

"No, in order to come and see you and your master, there is no good rest on the road." Dongfang Shuo concealed his depressed mood and said.

"Did the Master's letter tell you something? It made you unhappy." Dongfang Furong saw some clues and said.

"No, that's not the case. Don't just guess. You're not rushing to the road. If you're late, you'll have to spend the night in the wilderness." Dongfang Shuo scolded his precious daughter and said.

"Oh, if you don't say it, I'm not interested." Dongfang Furong can now be sure that Dongfang Shuo's emotional changes are related to that letter, but his father has always kept his mouth shut and he has no choice but to rush to the road.

A fortune teller cannot tell fortunes to the person he is closest to, otherwise he will be sent by the heaven. If he calculated his daughter's fortune, he would be sent by the heaven. I am afraid that he will die for three years and will die. He just left her in fear of death. She had already confirmed this. I would not take this risk. Unfortunately, I am no longer the Dongfang Shuo of the past, but now I have another daughter to take care of. Although I am no longer afraid of death, my life's ambition has not yet been realized. How can I choose to change it? Dongfang Shuo is in a mess.

"Dad, there is a small town in front of you. Let's go there to rest for one night tonight and then go on a journey." Dongfang Furong often accompanied his master to that town to purchase goods, so she is quite familiar with it.

"Okay, my dad feels a little tired, just as you said." Dongfang Shuo was having a severe headache and wanted to take a break and distinguish his thoughts.

They rode their horses into the town and found an inn to rest for one night. That is, the night when Changfeng saved Lin Qimeng was delayed. The father and daughter hurriedly finished their meal, washed up, and went to Chang to rest early, without saying a word all night.

When the next day, the father and daughter had some breakfast, fed the horses, and continued on the road.

"By the way, dad, I heard you have accepted an apprentice, right?" Dongfang Furong suddenly asked.

Dongfang Shuo was in a daze. He must have not slept well last night and had not heard his daughter's question clearly.

"Dad, dad, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Furong said in a louder voice.

Dongfang Shuo finally heard his daughter's question and said, "Furong, what were you asking just now?"

"I'll ask what's wrong with your apprentice?" Dongfang Furong continued to ask.

"You are talking about Ping'er, are you?" Dongfang Shuo said.

"Yes, why didn't I think of her?" Dongfang Shuo slapped his horse's butt, and the horse rushed forward in frightened.

Dongfang Furong was so scared that she hurriedly chased after her. When she chased Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo, who was excited, was waiting for her.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? I'm scared." Dongfang Furong asked by tying the reins.

"It's nothing, it's the knot of my father's heart that suddenly untied." Dongfang said happily.

"Dad, what knot do you have?" Dongfang Furong knew that Dongfang Shuo would not say it, but she couldn't help asking.

Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "You will know in the future." He rode his horse forward again.

Dongfang Furong couldn't do it, so she had to keep up with Dongfang Shuo's horse again.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The two of them were finally taken to the stables of the Lin Mansion, and they headed straight to the Zhuyuan, Dongfang Shuo's residence in Lin Mansion.

In fact, after two days of rest, Zhen Ping'er has recovered a little and can get out of bed and walk around. She has been thinking about the things that night for the past two days. It is certain that Mr. Changfeng saved her that night. She had asked Dr. Yan that she had been injured before and had a rescue attack after returning home. Later, when she woke up, she was miraculously relieved. That night, she and Changfeng were naked, which should be true. He was healing himself.

"Xiao Yuan, has anything happened in the mansion recently?" Zhen Ping'er asked Xiao Yuan, the maid who accompanied her, and said.

"No, Miss Ping'er, some of them were hired by our mansion on the day you came back, one was Mr. Changfeng brought back by Miss Ping'er, and the other was Mr. Dongxi named Dongfang Shuo." Xiao Yuan replied carefully.

"Why did you hire two gentlemen this time?" Zhen Ping'er asked strangely.

Xiao Yuan repeated the incident that day. After hearing this, Zhen Ping'er thought for a while and said, "This Mr. Dongfang must be a knowledgeable person."

"The maid doesn't know, but even Mr. Zou admires them very much. All the ladies and generals have been invited to rescue them." Xiao Yuan analyzed.

"Is Mr. Dongfang in the mansion?" Zhen Ping'er asked.

"I heard that after the lady, Mr. Changfeng and Butler Lin Fu went out, she also went out soon. As for where to go, I don't know." Xiao Yuan replied truthfully.

"Oh, who is this Dongfang Shuo? As soon as Sister Qimeng leaves, he will leave." Zhen Ping'er said to herself.

"No, I have to go and see." Zhen Ping'er pulled up her legs and walked out, scaring Xiao Yuan so much that she hurriedly followed behind her.

"Which villa in Mr. Dongfang lives in the mansion?" Zhen Ping'er turned around and asked Xiao Yuan.

"Miss Ping'er, it's Zhuyuan." Xiao Yuan replied.

"Okay, please accompany me to meet that Mr. Dongfang." Zhen Ping'er said.

"No, Miss Ping'er, your body has not fully recovered yet, so it is not advisable to get cold when you go out." Xiao Yuan advised.

"I have a sense of my own in this matter. Don't persuade me anymore. Come with me quickly, otherwise you will know my temper." Zhen Ping'er said firmly.
