Chapter 512: Painted Skin
Rongguo Mansion is a rare place of wealth in the secular world. From the day it is built, all the people who are welcomed and sent to the world are powerful and noble. Over time, all the people in the mansion, from the masters to the servants and maids, have all had two wealthy eyes and one decent heart, and are extremely snobbish.
Unexpectedly, Jia Cong was extremely surprised that there was a pure place like Yangcui Temple in such an impetuous place.
Independent of Miaoyu's residence, Jia Cong was at a loss for a moment, but the little nun who led the way had gone, and Jia Cong didn't know what to do. Looking around, he saw that everything was quiet and clean, which was completely different from the atmosphere of the world.
Every grass, every tree, every brick and tile here is no different from the grass, wood, brick and tile in the world, but it has its own unique charm and extraordinary. I don’t know if it is because Miaoyu lives here.
Jia Cong was looking around and thinking about it, but he heard someone in the room whisper: "Since the young master is willing to surrender to the nobles, how can he not come in and talk?"
The sound is elegant and soft, making people feel unspeakable.
Jia Cong was startled and hurriedly reached out to push the door. The wooden door slowly opened, and a pool of clear light suddenly tilted out.
In the quiet and clear light, I saw a very beautiful girl sitting facing her. She was seventeen or eighteen years old, with her plain clothes as bright as snow, and her muscles shining.
Is the girl in front of me Miaoyu?
Jia Cong was slightly shocked and couldn't help but look at him carefully again. He saw Miaoyu sitting with a smile, with a solemn appearance. She was extremely beautiful, but she couldn't tell how beautiful she was. She was spotless and oblivious to the world.
Jia Cong was watching here, and Miaoyu got up to welcome the guests, smiled and pointed to the chair opposite, and said with a smile: "Young master come in and sit?"
When Jia Cong heard Miaoyu invite her, he saw her actions and behaviors were extremely graceful, just like a fairy dancing. He couldn't help but follow his words and deeds, and sat opposite Miaoyu in a daze.
Miaoyu bowed and took the jade-like teacup, poured a cup of tea and brought it to Jia Cong.
Her actions were as natural and free as the wind blows on the willows, and they were so beautiful that they were so beautiful. Jia Cong took the teacup until he brought it to his mouth, and then took a sip of tea. His eyes had never left Miaoyu, and he didn't know what he was doing.
When Miaoyu saw Jia Cong's despair, she couldn't help but smile and said, "The young master's mansion has countless beauties, why are they still so unaware of it? Could it be that I am ugly and scared the young master?"
Jia Cong was shy when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Where, where, the girl is as beautiful as a fairy. There is no girl in my mansion who is as beautiful as a girl. I can only see her in a moment of disgrace. Miaoyu...Don't laugh at Miaoyu..."
After hearing Jia Cong's praise, Miaoyu smiled slightly and said, "How beautiful and ugly is it just a skin. Isn't it still a skeleton in a hundred years? So the body of a human is just a white bone with some flesh and blood. Then it is drawn every day, just like a painted skin. Does the young master like it?"
When Jia Cong heard this, he remembered the painted skin in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. He was so scared that his hands shook, and even a lot of tea in the teacup spilled out.
Miaoyu smiled and said at the sight of this, "Young Master, don't be afraid. Now I have not practiced enough, and I can't take off my skin and live, and I can't see you from my original body. Besides, if I really have a great success in my practice one day, I can even give up the bones and turn into a breeze, so I won't have to be afraid."
When Jia Cong heard Miaoyu say this, he immediately laughed without realizing it. He quickly put down the teacup and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forgot, Miss Miaoyu should wait until I turn into a piece of dust before practicing to achieve enlightenment, so as not to scare me."
When Miaoyu heard Jia Cong say this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
The two laughed at each other. Jia Cong felt that Miaoyu was pure and naughty, and that she was not as beautiful as the one mentioned in Dream of Red Mansions. She was self-admiring, and she became less reserved and embarrassed without realizing it. She became familiar with Miaoyu.
Miaoyu smiled for a moment, then looked at Jia Cong with a smile and asked, "Where is the young master coming from?"
Jia Cong heard the question and replied: "I live in Changchun Garden in the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. If the girl is free, she can go to my house and sit there."
After hearing this, Miaoyu shook her head, smiled, stared at Jia Cong and asked seriously, "Young Master is not a person here. You can see at first glance, why should you hide it?"
Miaoyu suddenly stopped smiling, became dignified and majestic, and once again revealed the secret, Jia Cong was shocked and couldn't help but panic. He secretly called Miaoyu so powerful, and he seemed to have guessed his origin after hearing her words. But the matter of Soul Piercing is extremely mysterious. Now even Jia Cong almost forgot who he is, why did Miaoyu see through it at one glance?
The more Jia Cong thought about it, he became more and more anxious. He looked up at Miaoyu without realizing it, but saw Miaoyu's eyes clear and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His description was similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was solemn in the hall in the Yangcui Temple, and he did not feel his mind calmed down.
Guanyin Bodhisattva passes the charity voyage and saves all lives, so he is naturally very happy and sad. What is scary about facing a girl like a Bodhisattva?
Thinking of this, Jia Cong's face disappeared completely, but when he looked at him, he was calm.
Seeing that he was well-versed in his thoughts, Miaoyu couldn't help but smile and exclaim: "Young Master is indeed worthy of being of extraordinary origin and amazing understanding."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Miss, you can understand the secrets of heaven. This is the real skill. Jia Cong was so impressed that I came here by accident. I just came here by chance. With a thick-skinned and prescient, I barely lived to this day. What's so admirable about this?"
Miaoyu was very happy when she saw Jia Cong was willing to meet him honestly, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, young master, everyone has secrets that cannot be told. The young master doesn't want to say more, and I will never ask too much. But I learned innate calculations with my master and calculated a lot of opportunities. I will ask my master for advice in the future."
Jia Cong nodded quickly as soon as he heard this: "Okay, okay, as long as the girl is willing, I will always be with you."
Miaoyu was even more happy when she heard this, and hurriedly got up to add tea to Jia Cong. The two of them drank a few more sips of tea. The more Jia Cong looked at it, the more she felt that the Miaoyu master was unparalleled and majestic. The extraordinary in her expression and behavior was definitely not something that could be practiced by those who practiced with the Qinglantern Ancient Buddha. Thinking of the various speculations of later generations about Miaoyu's origin, Jia Cong couldn't help but feel curious and asked carefully: "Miss Miaoyu, where are you from?"
When Miaoyu heard Jia Cong's question, she immediately raised her head in surprise and smiled, "Young master is so stingy. I just asked you. Are you going to ask me now?"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "No, no, I am definitely not that stingy person! I saw that the girl has an amazing demeanor, and guessed that the girl's origin must be extraordinary. I was just curious about what kind of people in the world can cultivate a girl like. If the girl is willing to tell me, I will naturally not mention it to the second person; if the girl is unwilling to say it, I will never force it."
When Miaoyu heard what he said, she immediately curled her lips and smiled: "Bah, you men pretend to be generous like this. They are thinking very much but they are stubborn! I will tell you what I can't say right away."
