The two concubines’ car finally arrived at the foot of the mountain gate of Huayan Temple.
At this time, Huayan Temple had been placed under martial law by a group of imperial guards specially assigned to escort the two concubines.
Two days in advance, they conducted a strict inspection here, and all the guests staying overnight and the monks who made reservations were temporarily expelled.
This huge, thousand-year-old temple was only opened for the two noble concubines these two days.
"Sister, this is Huayan Temple."
Concubine Xiao Shu walked down from the car and held Concubine Chen's arm. At this time, she had put on her outer robe again, covering up her plump body under her skirt. She looked dignified and majestic in appearance, with a luxurious and graceful temperament.
Clang clang clang!
There were bursts of bells ringing from the temple, and the sound came from a long distance away, giving people a sense of tranquility and leisure.
Concubine Chen looked around and saw that the entire Huayan Temple was located among the green mountains and green waters, with high walls and pavilions, red bricks and green tiles, and tall towers standing among them, which was very majestic.
"As expected of a thousand-year-old temple, it is indeed an extraordinary temple."
Concubine Chen sighed.
At this time, Master Yuankong had already come to greet them with a group of monks. He was wearing cassocks and had a compassionate face. After seeing Concubine Chen and Concubine Xiao Shu, he immediately clasped his hands and bowed slightly.
"See the two empresses who are thousands of years old."
"Hurry up and get away with the ceremony. Master Yuankong is an outsider, so why do you need such vulgar etiquette?"
Concubine Xiao Shu said quickly.
She was born into a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, but her mother believed in Buddhism. Following the tradition that temples all over the world are one family, she also respected Buddhism quite a bit.
"The rules cannot be broken."
Master Yuankong put his hands together again.
So he began to lead the way, talking to the two empresses as he walked, and at the same time introduced the past eminent monks of Huayan Temple and the origin of the temple's architecture.
Concubine Chen was quite interested in what she heard.
Yang Fan followed her step by step, but his eyes were secretly looking at the monks in the temple. Look at them, all of them were strong and muscular, and they all had a lot of cultivation!
<
br> Without exposing their Qi and blood, it is difficult to judge the true strength of these people.
This made him secretly vigilant.
Inadvertently, his eyes glanced at the guard on guard, and suddenly a familiar face came into view, making him slightly startled.
Tao Ying from Dongchang!
Deacon Tao!
"He's actually here too!"
Tao Ying, who was dressed as a guard, wore light armor, held a halberd, and carried a broadsword on his waist. He did not appear to be disobedient at all, but gave people a more fierce and solemn feeling.
When Yang Fan walked past Tao Ying, Tao Ying's lips moved, and his voice as thin as a mosquito suddenly sounded in Yang Fan's ears.
"Be careful to cooperate with our family's actions and don't show off your flaws. In addition, be careful and alert to anyone approaching Concubine Chen and Concubine Xiao Shu, no matter who they are!"
Yang Fan didn't know how to transmit sounds, so he could only nod slightly to indicate that he understood.
Not long after, the group of them arrived at the specially prepared guest room in the temple.
Master Yuankong put his hands together and said: "The two queens have been tired from traveling all the way, so they will rest here for the time being. Later, I will arrange for someone to come over and deliver fast food. Tomorrow morning, I will personally arrange for the two queens to pay their vows in front of the Buddha.
.”
"That's fine."
Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Chen looked at each other and agreed.
Their car drove along, stopping and stopping, but it was already past noon, and the two of them were already a little sleepy. They just happened to take a rest today to recuperate.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Master Yuankong arranged for several knowledgeable guests from the temple to serve him here, while he resigned and returned to his meditation room.
At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs brought by Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Chen also began to tidy up the guest room. Although the place had been tidied up by the monks in the temple, how could it be compared with the use of utensils?
A royal possession?
Soon, the palace maids and eunuchs put on the things they had brought, and the entire guest room suddenly had a brand new look.
At the same time, Concubine Chen pulled Concubine Xiao Shu around the guest room.
After a while, they walked around the area.
The ground is paved with bluestones, there are clumps of green trees, the slightly mottled walls are covered with ivy, and there are halls enshrining golden statues, with no end as far as the eye can see.
The whole temple has a strong historical atmosphere, giving people an extremely heavy feeling.
"This temple is quite quiet, but it's not bad to come and stay for a while occasionally."
Concubine Chen smiled.
Concubine Xiao Shu felt a little depressed. Thinking that she might have pushed Concubine Chen into the pit of fire, she felt guilty and uneasy.
"What are you thinking about, sister?"
Seeing that Concubine Xiao Shu was silent, Concubine Chen tilted her head and looked at her.
Concubine Xiao Shu sighed in her heart, everyone is a poor person, and now, she can do nothing, so she forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about some things about fulfilling my wish tomorrow."
Yang Fan glanced at Concubine Xiao Shu, and then exchanged a look with Concubine Chen.
Although Concubine Xiao Shu concealed it very well, the two people who already knew each other well could still detect the regret and guilt in each other's hearts.
Concubine Chen no longer blamed Concubine Xiao Shu, and immediately took her back to the guest room.
It happened that at this time, several monks brought the vegetarian food to the temple. After being inspected by a special person, it was placed in front of the two empresses.
"Sister, you are probably tired. Eat something first."
Concubine Chen said with a smile.
While speaking, she glanced at Yang Fan. After seeing Yang Fan shake his head slightly, she knew that there was nothing wrong with the fast food, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Xiao Shu had no appetite at first, but due to Concubine Chen's repeated persuasion, she finally ate some.
"Hmm, it smells so good."
> "Yeah, I didn't expect that the vegetarian food in Huayan Temple is so good. The level is probably no less than that of the royal chef in the palace."
Concubine Chen also took two more bites and praised with a smile.
After finishing their fast meal, the two women took a short rest and then continued to wander around the temple surrounded by a group of people.
I have to say, these monks are really good at picking places.
The entire temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with an elegant environment. Coupled with its profound heritage, no less than a hundred Buddhist temples have been built, and there are dozens of towering pagodas behind the temple, large and small, in various styles.
many.
It truly deserves to be a thousand-year-old temple!
Time passed slowly, and soon it was evening. After having a vegetarian meal, Concubine Xiao Shu took the initiative to say that she wanted to stay with Concubine Chen tonight.
Concubine Chen’s lips curled up into a smile, naturally she would not refuse Concubine Xiao Shu’s request: “Actually, I also want to sleep with my sister!”
When Yang Fan heard this, he felt quite moved in his heart.
He also wanted to repeat this sentence very much.
But after thinking about it, I didn't have the guts to do it.
However, he has no intention of leaving. Tomorrow Temple will hold a vow-repaying ceremony. If something goes wrong, there are only three points in time.
One is tonight, one is during the ceremony, and the last one may be after the ceremony.
There are many possibilities.
As the very first time, tonight is bound to not be too peaceful.
After all, the people from Dongchang are here.
The people who followed Tiandao also came.
Perhaps the people sent by the Queen have arrived long ago.
Three hunters broke into the dark forest. No one would waste this night!
Instead of waiting, it’s better to act first!
Yang Fan watched Concubine Chen and Concubine Xiao Shu leaning on the bed and chatting, their laughter and laughter mixed with the beauty of spring, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the clothes the two women had taken off.
Maybe he can do something tonight?
