Chapter 1990 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
The temple mentioned in the letter is on a very remote mountain.
Different from many temples with great popularity, this temple is rarely visited and even no one comes to burn incense for three to five days.
Gu Jinning rode his horse to the foot of the mountain and could not go on.
The steep mountain road was covered with snow and was winding, so horses couldn't go up at all, so we had to walk up.
Gu Jinning came out in such a hurry that he didn't even put on his cloak, but he walked up the mountain without any hesitation.
The road from the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain is relatively flat.
When they were halfway up the mountain, Gu Jinning heard a rustling sound, but he ignored it and continued walking forward.
But someone blocked his way.
A girl dressed as a maid rushed out from the dense woods nearby and stood in front of Gu Jinning.
"Sir! My young lady came to burn incense and accidentally sprained her ankle while going down the mountain. Please take a look and help!"
In this season, in this place, a young lady came alone with her maid to burn incense, and even sprained her ankle on the way...
Gu Jinning watched the maid's diligent performance as if she were looking at a dead person.
When the maid finally stopped talking, he spoke, "Whose maid are you?"
"I, I am a servant of the Yu family in the capital..." The maid didn't expect Gu Jinning to suddenly ask about her background. Her face turned slightly red and she answered stutteringly.
Yu family?
Gu Jinning's eyes were like a sinking night pool, deep and bottomless.
The colleague who sent him the letter also married a wife whose surname was Yu.
He said no more, walked around the maid and continued walking up the mountain.
The maid was stunned for a moment, then she quickly chased after him and tried to stop him, "Sir, please..."
As soon as he said this, he saw Gu Jinning turning around.
Although she had a beautiful face, she swallowed the rest of her words. Her feet seemed to be frozen and she couldn't move at all.
Just as Gu Jinning was about to walk away, a beautiful girl came out of the dense forest, holding on to a tree trunk.
In such cold weather, she only wore a thin gauze dress, with a belt outlining her slender waist, looking weak and helpless.
"Qiuyue, don't make things difficult for the Lord, we will just wait a while." Miss Yu spoke considerately, her voice as sweet as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, and she looked at Gu Jinning's back with hope in her eyes.
It's a pity that falling flowers are ruthless.
Gu Jinning acted as if he didn't hear anything. He didn't look back or even stop.
"Miss, what should we do now?" The maid Qiuyue was completely confused. She thought that Gu Jinning would at least take care of it and would not let them, the master and servant, stay in this deserted place.
However, Gu Jinning really had no gentlemanly manners and no sympathy for women, so he just left.
Miss Yu lowered her head and the corners of her eyes turned red.
The cold wind blew in gusts, but she said firmly: "It's okay, Master Xie cares about his fiancée and is a rare good husband. In the future, he will treat me the same way."
I don't know where she gets her confidence from.
Gu Jinning didn't take this matter to heart. Knowing about the Yu family was enough.
His mind was now on the temple on the top of the mountain.
As we continued to climb, the mountain road beneath our feet became more and more tortuous and bumpy, and the wind became stronger and stronger, as if we would never reach the end.
When Gu Jinning set out, it was just after noon, but now the sky was gradually getting darker.
The shadows of the trees on both sides became hideous and terrifying.
Only Gu Jinning remained unmoved and continued to move forward step by step.
Finally, after walking up thousands of steps that were barely wide enough for one foot, Gu Jinning looked up and saw a small temple.
It is more like a simple little house than a temple.
A middle-aged monk in coarse monk's robe stood in front with his hands clasped together and eyes closed, as if he had expected Gu Jinning's arrival.
The young man, who originally only held a trace of obsession, now had hope completely ignited in his heart.
He took the last few stone steps.
"Grandmaster……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the monk opened his eyes, "Donor Gu."
It was clearly a very ordinary voice, but it seemed to come from Mount Sumeru and could see through everything.
"The person the donor is concerned about is destined to die young and has little blessings in this life." The monk did not ask anything and did not wait for Gu Jinning to speak. He explained word by word clearly.
The cold wind blew, and Gu Jinning seemed to be frozen.
After a long silence, he looked at the monk intently.
"Master, please enlighten me."
"The female donor has accumulated some blessings in the past, otherwise she would have ascended to the Western Paradise long ago." The monk looked at Gu Jinning with a hint of meaning.
