Chapter 321 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 25
Xuanji followed Uncle Zhou to the backyard room, where the tranquility contrasted sharply with the hustle and bustle of the front yard.
Outside the wing, several green bamboos swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if telling a peaceful story.
He sat quietly by the window, closing his eyes and concentrating, but his heart was like a turbulent wave that could not be calmed down.
He recalled that night in Zhoujiazhuang and everything after that.
Her gentleness and kindness, as well as the hardship of raising a child alone, made him feel uneasy, extremely guilty, and didn't know what to do.
As a Buddhist, he first broke the precepts, then had a child in the world, and a woman he liked.
He didn't even know if he could continue to practice Buddhism...
Through the open window, he looked at the busy shop in the front yard, and her busy figure could be vaguely seen.
The occasional chuckles, like the warm sunshine in spring, inadvertently brushed through Xuan Ji's heart, but made him even more confused.
Time passed slowly until the afterglow of the setting sun filled the backyard.
Yu Yao finally got free and stepped lightly into the wing, holding a plate of exquisite snacks in her hand, "Master, I have been waiting for a long time. I have been sitting there for a long time. I am also hungry after thinking about it. This is a snack made by myself. , try it."
Xuanji stood up quickly, took the plate with both hands, and felt a warm feeling in his heart, "Donor Yu is so thoughtful, I am very grateful."
He said lightly. I took a bite of the snack, which was sweet and soft, just like how she felt, gentle yet tough.
“Donor Yu, actually this poor monk came here because he wanted to say something to the donor.”
Xuanji put down her snack and looked at her seriously.
Yu Yao was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master, it doesn't matter, I'm all ears."
She had already guessed Xuanji's intention, so she wasn't surprised and straightened her skirt. , and sat opposite him.
"About...About after that night, did Donor Yu have..." Xuanji hesitated to speak, but finally mustered up the courage, "Did she give birth to anything?"
She Hearing this, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, "I understand what the master said. Indeed, after that night, I became pregnant with the master's child and successfully gave birth to a pair of twins."
Her voice was calm, as if she was telling an ordinary story.
Xuanji felt a mixture of emotions, including shock and relief.
"That's it, poor monk... The poor monk has always had doubts, but he didn't dare to disturb the donor rashly."
He clasped his hands together, his voice a little apologetic.
Yu Yao shook her head gently, "Master, there is no need to blame yourself. This matter is a secret between the two of us. The reason why I did not tell the master is because I was afraid of affecting the master's practice."
"Almsgiver Yu has a deep understanding of righteousness, and the poor monk admires it."
Xuanji felt more and more guilty, and his love for her also increased, but he had not noticed it yet.
"The poor monk has always had a question in his mind. I wonder if the two children...are humans...or demons?"
Xuanji stared at her with an extremely nervous expression and asked anxiously.
This is also the issue he is most concerned about.
He has always been committed to conquering demons. If the two children are demons, it would be really...
Yu Yao knew what he was worried about, smiled faintly and explained: "Don't worry, master, the two children are gone." The masters are all human beings, and they look very similar to the masters.”
He was silent for a long time, seeming to have made some kind of decision.
Looking at her, he said seriously: "Donor Yu is so righteous that he makes the poor monk feel guilty. Although the poor monk is a member of the Buddhist sect, he also knows a word that is difficult to let go. I am willing to work with the donor. Raise your children and protect them.”
Yu Yao looked surprised. This man talked about Amitabha all day long. She thought it would be good if he could go down the mountain often to see the two children.
I didn’t expect that he would be willing to raise her with me, which was an unexpected surprise.
But then, I thought that he was the father of the child, so it was normal for him to want to raise the child.
There was mist in her eyes, and she looked at Xuan Ji with tears in her eyes, and said movedly: "I am very happy that the master has such a heart. However, this move of the master may affect your path of cultivation."
Xuanji looks melancholy Disappointed, he shook his head slightly and said, "The road to practice is long, but having concerns in my heart is also a kind of practice. Since I have violated the precepts, why should I stick to the form. Now, I just want to do my best to protect you, mother and son. Thorough.”
She stared at him blankly, an intoxicating smile appearing in her eyes, which made Xuanji's heart flutter, and then she hurriedly turned her eyes away.
From that day on, Xuanji stayed in Lianhua County.
His figure frequently appeared in the mansion next to Baichuan Academy, spending time with her and her two children.
Yu Yao felt that it was troublesome for him to come and go like this, so she suggested: "Master, since you have decided to raise the children with me, why not live here forever. This will also make the children happy. Spend more time with you and feel my father's love." Xuanji was slightly startled, feeling hesitant in his heart.
He is well aware that his status is special, and living here for a long time will inevitably attract a lot of criticism.
But looking at her expectant eyes and the innocent smiles of the children, his heart gradually softened.
"Well, since Donor Yu suggested this, the poor monk would rather obey his orders respectfully."
Xuanji slowly nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Xuanji agreed, Yu Yao was in a good mood and hurriedly asked Aunt Zhou to clean up a room so that Xuanji could stay.
"Yes, madam."
Aunt Zhou responded, then turned to clean up the house.
At this time, she already knew that Master Xuanji was the father of the two children.
God knows how shocked she was when she learned the truth.
It turns out that the lady is not married at all, and there is no husband-in-law who died on the battlefield. All these are just lies made by the lady to hide the truth from others.
Although Aunt Zhou doesn't know what happened between Madam and Master Xuanji, a Buddhist monk has a child...
This matter seems outrageous and unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
Aunt Zhou is not a talkative person. Although she knew the truth, she pretended not to know. Except for her old man, she did not reveal anything to outsiders.
Uncle Zhou had already guessed something, but he pretended not to know.
I still know clearly what should be said and what should not be said.
"Master, look at An An, he has learned to stand up again today."
Yu Yao didn't know what Aunt Zhou was thinking. She held her son in her arms, her eyes full of motherly glory, and she gently handed the child to him. In front of Xuanji.
Xuanji took the child. Although his movements were unfamiliar, his eyes were full of tenderness and love. He looked at the little guy carefully and found that he did look a lot like himself.
Especially the eyebrows and eyebrows, they look so much like him.
An unprecedented sense of responsibility and happiness surged in his heart.
Xuanji never thought that he could have a child. This was something that he had never dared to think about before.
But now, this is actually happening before my eyes, like a dream, and it feels a little unreal.
"Is An'an his name? What's his last name?"
Xuanji heard her call the child An'an, remembered something, and couldn't help but ask.
Yu Yao was holding a rattle in her hand and was playing with Youyou. When she heard Xuan Ji's words, she was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly came to his senses and explained with a smile: "An'an is his nickname, his given name is Dugu Rui, his daughter's nickname is Youyou, and her given name is Dugu Min."
"Surname is Dugu?"
Xuanji frowned and looked at her with a puzzled look, wondering why she gave her child this last name.
Yu Yao looked at his doubtful eyes, was silent for a while, and then said: "Because Dugu is your secular surname, I gave it to the child like this."
"What did you say? You said my family name is Dugu?”
Xuanji looked at her with an extremely shocked expression.
He only knew that he was thrown at the gate of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple when he was a child, and then he was adopted and brought up by his master, who carefully taught him the Dharma, and that's how he became what he is today.
In his heart, the master is his father.
Yu Yao looked at Xuan Ji's shocked look and nodded slightly.
Being silent for a moment, he finally said: "Master, I also learned about it accidentally. I have heard some old things about the palace, and one of them mentioned the twists and turns of Concubine Min's birth. It is said that Concubine Min was raped when she gave birth. You are framed and your life is not long. Before you die, let your personal maid Yun Yan take you out of the palace as a baby."
She glanced at Xuan Ji and continued: "Not long after the palace maid Yun Yan left the palace, she met her childhood sweetheart. The man thought you were a burden, so he instigated Yun Yan to abandon you. Although Yun Yan was not willing to abandon you, she also You sent it to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."
Xuanji stood blankly on the spot, his thoughts flowing like a tide.
He never thought that his life experience would have such a twists and turns.
The master never told him these things. He always thought that he was an abandoned baby.
