Chapter 314: temple
Chapter 314 Shrine
After sharing her thoughts with Yuyue, Yuyue agreed to take her to find Kugli without stopping her.
When Ruan Youqing packed up and followed Yuyue out of the hall, she was surprised to find that it was really snowing outside just like the dream she had just had. It's just that the snow has just fallen, and the ground has not yet been covered with a layer of white.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. It's almost the end of October, and the Guz country is higher than their Ning country, and the temperature is cold.
It's snowing...it's normal.
"Fortunately, Zisu took out an extra robe and put it on for you, otherwise I will die of guilt if you get sick from the cold." Yuyue looked at Ruan Youqing who was shrugging her nose, and couldn't help it He opened his mouth with a doting tone.
Ruan Youqing nodded, and said softly, "Zisu has always been thoughtful."
Zisu, who was praised, lowered her head in embarrassment, but her hands subconsciously helped Ruan Youqing gather up her collar.
Seeing this, Yuyue turned around with a smile and ordered the maid beside her to prepare a few hand stoves, then she looked at Ruan Youqing and continued: "I feel cold when I hold your hand several times, girls should pay attention to keeping warm. When you get older, you will fall to the root of the disease.”
「Thank you, sister Yuzuki, for your concern.」
While the two were chatting and laughing, they had unknowingly reached the gate of the palace where they first met the Emperor of Guz yesterday.
This palace... first made her flustered, and then she saw Gu Changan had been here in her dream.
And now... Yuyue brought her here again...
Once or twice is still acceptable, but the sense of panic that continues to slowly sweep over her reminds her that this is not accidental.
The knuckles of both hands holding the hand stove slightly raised, and she tried to make her tone sound calm: "Sister Yuyue, this palace is..."
What she can remember is that this palace is not a place used by Guz Kingdom to entertain envoys or deal with state affairs on weekdays.
When Yu Yue looked in the direction of Ruan Youqing's finger, she immediately straightened her expression and said, "This is... the temple of our Guz country. It was specially built for the national teacher to handle some... very important things."
"Kugli...is inside?" Ruan Youqing adjusted his state within a few breaths, and a sharp light began to burst out from his slightly squinted eyes.
Yue Yue nodded and pulled her forward.
She didn't stop until she reached the door, and asked Ruan Youqing carefully: "Okay, you go in."
"Aren't you coming in with me?" Ruan Youqing's expression was a little complicated.
Yue Yue always likes to greet her with a smile: "You want me to go in?"
Such a straightforward question made Ruan Youqing's body stiff, and she smiled helplessly, and Ruan Youqing stopped talking to her about those silly things.
"Forget it, I'll go in by myself. In case...one more person knows my little secrets." Ruan Youqing's voice was pretending to be relaxed at this time, but others could easily hear that she was actually a little flustered at this time.
Looking at Ruan Youqing's back, the smile on Yuyue's face slowly disappeared.
Afterwards, she turned and walked towards the bedroom of the Lord of Guz Kingdom.
…
Although she has seen the appearance of this temple, it is the first time Ruan Youqing has seen the scene inside.
All the corners of the hall were lit with tranquilizing incense, and when Ruan Youqing stepped through an inner threshold, he saw Kugeli sitting cross-legged behind a heavy gauze curtain with his eyes closed, and seemed to be muttering something.
The attendant who had been waiting by his side had already heard the sound of Ruan Youqing coming in, and when he saw who was coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him.
Like...knew she was coming.
Without waiting for Ruan Youqing to speak, the attendant leaned over respectfully and said in a low voice: "Go with the slave to the palace platform to rest for a while, and the national teacher will recover soon."
Ruan Youqing still managed to hold her breath, she nodded slightly, then she raised her feet and followed the attendants to the palace platform.
The palace platform mentioned by the other party refers to a platform that protrudes from the main body of the palace. On the platform, there are neatly cut stones as a roof to keep out the wind and the sun.
The platform is surrounded by exquisite stone railings, and several pots of unknown plants are placed on the stone railings.
The palace platform is neither too small nor too big, and it can accommodate two or three people to move around freely.
Go out through a carved white wooden door, and there are bamboo chairs for people to rest on the palace platform.
Because the shrine is the highest place in the palace of Guz Kingdom, this palace platform is an excellent place to see the scenery.
However... Except for the king and the teacher who can come and go here at will, other people keep a respectful distance from this shrine.
After Ruan Youqing blew the cold wind here for about half an hour, the attendant finally came to take her to see Kugli.
Passing the tip of his nose that was reddened by the cold wind, Ruan Youqing suppressed the impatience in his eyes, and followed with a smile as usual.
Until Kugli looked up at her and said the first sentence: "Miss Ruan finally couldn't bear it anymore?"
The attendants have already retired, leaving Ruan Youqing and him alone in this huge shrine.
It stands to reason that in this strange and mysterious place, it is easy for people to feel awe.
But Ruan Youqing did not.
Now she still hid her smile after all, stared at Kugli with no expression for a while, and then replied unhurriedly: "Lord Kugli can't go back to Guz just to trick me into keeping you safe and sound, That’s why you made up such an irresistible reason?”
Kugli did not get angry because of Ruan Youqing's flirty taunt, but patiently asked Ruan Youqing to sit down before he continued: "You shouldn't exist, but you must exist."
He actually repeated the ambiguous words he said to her outside the mountain temple.
Ruan Youqing suffocated for breath, and a look of coldness flickered between his brows: "It's already here, why don't Master Kugli speak directly."
"I figured it out... Your fate has undergone a huge change, and because of the change in your fate, the fates of many people have also changed to some extent. Also... your fate seems to be affected by something It was covered up, so I didn't look carefully. It's just... I felt another thing..."
Hearing Kugli speak to her without warning, Ruan Youqing still looked indifferent.
But only she knows the turmoil in her heart.
"I also ask Mr. Kugli to speak more clearly."
"You were about to die, but for some reason... it seems that someone forcibly changed it for you. To put it simply and plainly, it is equivalent to that you are already dead, but someone forcibly intervened and used some heaven-defying means... and brought you back to life."
"What do you mean, Master Kugli? You mean I am resurrected from the dead?" Ruan Youqing clenched her hands into fists, and the feeling of her nails pricking her palms allowed her to control her emotions.
Kugli smiled helplessly: "I'm just giving you an example. I...can't understand what's going on with you. Maybe...something happened to you when you were young, and someone forcibly resolved the crisis for you .”
Seeing that Kugli deviated from the correct answer in a serious manner, Ruan Youqing breathed a sigh of relief while continuing to test his mouth: "Then why did you say that I am unique in this world, and all doubts will be solved when I come here?" open."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kugli coughed slightly awkwardly, "This kind of speech...Miss Ruan should be...understandable, right?"
Ruan Youqing's body froze, with the urge to hit someone.
It turns out that Kugli didn't even know that she was born again!
The words she said were nothing more than exaggerated words and pretense that she knew everything when she got a glimpse of the secret of her fate.
That's it... easily tricked her to come here!
But he just said...maybe someone showed up and did some...hell-defying means...?
"but…"
Kugli suddenly spoke again with a strange expression:
"There really is... a secret method that can answer your inner doubts."
