"It turns out that Jiankang City still has such a layout!"
Chen Cuo was a little surprised when he heard this. Then when he looked at the two people opposite him, he couldn't help but admire them.
Chen Fangqing is considered a Jiankang resident and has grown up here since he was a child. He is not as clear as these two people.
Wang Jin added: "There is also a saying that the reason why there are so many Buddhist temples in Jiankang City is to stabilize the formation of the Five Elements."
Chen Cuo asked for details again.
The two of them shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Then Wang Jin even stopped talking and said: "I was very happy to see the prince, but I digressed from the topic. Let's go back to Guishan Temple."
"Exactly."
Tao Bo nodded and introduced again: "Guishan Temple is built on a hill. The halls in the front courtyard are on the ground, and the monks' residences in the temple surround the hill. They are divided into three, six, and nine levels. The most common one is
At the outermost edge of the hill, this is the residence of ordinary monks and ordinary residents. Just like ordinary residences, we will stay here, but things will be different further in..."
When he said this, his expression became excited: "From the halfway point of the hill, there is the residence of the great monk in the temple. It is said that there is the protection of the Lord Buddha. The light of the Buddha on the top of the mountain shrouds this place. Common illnesses can be cured after staying there for three days."
, if you can stay for seven days, you can live longer, I heard..." As he spoke, he lowered his voice, "There is also the female guest who disguised herself as a man and stayed for seven days, so she got a child!"
When Chen Cuo heard this, he felt that this man was driving, and it sounded awkward. He couldn't help but secretly thought to Amitabha, our Buddha is merciful. It's not that he was disrespectful, but that the commentator was really dirty.
Tao Bo finished talking about halfway up the mountain, and then reached the top of the hill.
"On the top of the hill is the residence of the temple master and his lord, which is not easily seen by others. Students once heard that some people saw birds resurrecting from the dead, and they also said that a giant Buddha once sat out of thin air."
Big Buddha sitting in thin air?
Chen Cuo's heart moved. Didn't he see such a situation just before entering the temple?
"The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes." Chen Hai followed, a little unbelieving.
Wang Jin then said to Chen Cuo: "As a monarch, I must live in a place halfway up. You will know what the magic is when you live there." As he finished speaking, his face showed a look of envy and yearning.
Chen Cuo listened and felt that this should be the case, but he still had concerns.
He thought that he would be possessed by evil ghosts and be suppressed by the Buddha's light. If it was really magical, it might be even more painful and unbearable. It would be better to stay in an ordinary guest room to get peace.
On the other hand, when Ma Wu heard this, he was eager to give it a try.
Chen Hai immediately poured cold water on him: "We, the servants, should not think too much. How can we live in your place with the Lord?"
Ma Wu was immediately disappointed and said: "I don't dare to think too much about it."
After Wang Jin and Tao Bo exchanged a few words with Chen Cuo, a monk came to look for them. They left first and said they would meet again tomorrow.
As soon as they left, Chen Hai said: "Congratulations, Lord. These two people are also from extraordinary backgrounds, but they are also full of praise for "Painted Skin". It won't be long before they are recognized by scholars."
"That's too much to think about." Chen Cuo smiled and shook his head, "You haven't experienced some things and don't understand the herd mentality. Painting is good and can stand the test of time, but Jiankang has its own public opinion, and there are many strange things.
On the stage, no matter how widely spread, it is difficult to reach the level of elegance in Dachen. Now it is sought after by everyone, and it is read by everyone. There is no need to pay attention to ordinary conversations, but just like those two people, they talked about "Painted Skin"
It’s hard to say how much I admire you sincerely, but using this opportunity to talk to me and get closer is the fundamental thing.”
"The villain has learned a lesson." Chen Hai nodded in agreement and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This master has really enlightened and is different from before.
Chen Cuo wiped away the cold sweat and looked at the direction Zhike Monk left, feeling the pressure on his body getting heavier.
Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, and he didn't know when the other party would come. He thought he would stay here anyway, so he asked a monk to come over, found a side room and went in. Then he called Chen Hai and asked him to guard him outside.
, take a nap by yourself without being disturbed.
.
.
While the master and the servants were chatting, the guest monk was also talking to the guest room steward, with a worried look on his face.
"The Marquis of Linru County belongs to the clan and is the younger brother of the King of Nankang. He is beyond the reach of ordinary people. This time he worships Buddha, he is generous and has the intention of admiration. It is a good relationship. It cannot be justified if he does not enter the courtyard of half a waist!
"
The monk on the opposite side shook his head and said: "This decision was made for a reason. It was really a coincidence that the prince came to us."
The monk who knew the guest said: "After all, we can be accommodating. There is not only one room in the half-waist courtyard. Let the Marquis of Linru County stay for a few nights. He will feel that the Dharma is exquisite. Even if he cannot take refuge in my Buddha, it can be a strong support. In the future, he will return
It can attract the King of Nankang."
The monk opposite didn't speak, but an old voice came from the side -
"Accommodation is possible, but the situation is different." The old monk who was in the Heavenly King's Hall came slowly.
The two monks who knew the guest bowed to greet each other and shouted, "Your Majesty, take your seat."
The old monk nodded and said: "You just went to look for me, but you couldn't get in. You should know that I am meeting a foreigner. The man has a high status and is above the King of Nankang. He will come back in the next two days.
How will we arrange it then?”
The monk Zhike and the other two bowed their heads and put their hands together.
The old monk added: "What's more, the Kunlun Sect members have also returned."
The two monks were startled, then suddenly realized.
The old monk sighed and said: "This Kunlun Sect is the Taishan Beidou in the world of spiritual practice. It has been dominant since the pre-Qin Dynasty. It has gone through ups and downs and survived several catastrophes. Now it relies on the name of Guangcheng Taoism.
, order the major branches of the Immortal Sect to give some face to them, not to mention our Guishan Temple, even the northern monks."
Zhike Monk couldn't help but ask: "Are they here because of that gentleman of the Lu family?"
"Exactly," the old monk nodded, "Lu You of the Lu family has been confirmed to be one of the reincarnated true immortals. Otherwise, why would Tianshi Tao be so impatient to accept him as a disciple? However, Tianshi Tao originated from the Empress Qin and was a mixed bag.
The merits of incense and fire are regarded as one of the three false laws by the immortal sect, and are not regarded as the right path by the cultivators. The Kunlun Sect wanted to introduce Lu You, and there were several twists and turns. There was one last time, and it was already agreed afterwards that it would be necessary.
If you lend me the Buddha's place to wash away the traces of incense on Lu You's body, it will probably take a few days."
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhike Monk: "At this time, how can you let others live in half of the courtyard? Unless that monarch is also a reincarnated immortal, it is absolutely impossible!"
When the monk Zhike heard this, he could only sigh, put his hands together and nodded to show his understanding.
He naturally believed that the Marquis of Linru County could not be a reincarnated person.
Where can there be so many reincarnated immortals?
The monk next to him asked: "Why are the immortals in the upper world reincarnated?"
The old monk pondered for a moment and said: "Since Hou Jing caused the Taiqing disaster, the vitality of the immortal path has been greatly damaged. The current calculation is nothing more than a five-five plan. Therefore, since the beginning of the year, more and more people from various immortal sects are practicing secular life.
, you don’t need to delve into it.”
The two monks took the order.
The old monk then said to the monk Zhike: "Go to the front hall and explain to the Marquis of Linru County that if he refuses, just let it go. After apologizing, send him away. I will personally write an invitation in the future and let him come again."
."
The two monks couldn't help but be surprised.
The old monk's expression did not change and he said: "When I came here just now, I looked at that prince. Although he is not as good as Lu You, he can also be called an outstanding person among ordinary people. He cannot make enemies. It's just that the fate is like this. If in his heart
If you can’t take it easy, there’s no need to force it.”
The monk Zhike nodded and retreated. Although he looked ashamed, he still found Chen Hai and briefly explained the situation.
Chen Hai's expression changed immediately and he said: "What do you mean by this? With my status as a monarch, it is ridiculous to hang out with ordinary people!"
The Zhike monk became more ashamed and clasped his hands together and said, "It's really because of the temple. I hope the donors will forgive me..." After that, there was naturally a series of apologies and excuses, but the real reason could not be told.
In the end, Chen Hai was still angry, and Ma Wu also looked regretful, but they knew that the one who could make the decision was the prince himself.
The monk Zhike understood this, so he wanted to go into the house to meet Chen Cuo and apologize in person.
Chen Hai said coldly: "My king is taking a nap, please don't disturb me!"
Little did he know that the prince he was talking about was sitting cross-legged on the bed and took a deep breath.
Inexplicably, the words of the young Taoist priest flashed through Chen Cuo's mind.
"Treat yourself as a god and visualize in your heart..."
