Chapter 58: The monk sees the king but does not see the king
As soon as the door opened, the slightly noisy courtyard immediately became quiet.
Chen Cuo stepped out and said to the people outside the hospital: "It would be rude not to greet you all from afar."
"It's not the king's fault, it's the poor monks who were careless." The temple master Yuan Hui took two steps closer, clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the king for entering the Taoism. Since then, he has become extraordinary and extraordinary!"
Qiu Yuzi also smiled and said: "Yes, I should congratulate you!" When he saw Chen Cuo looking at him, he reported his origin again.
"Taoist priest of the Kunlun Sect?" Chen Cuo couldn't help but be surprised. Of course he still remembered the Kunlun Sect mentioned by Zhou Youzi.
"Yes, it seems that you also know my name, Kunlun!" Qiu Yuzi laughed, looking bold and forthright, which made Chen Cuo feel good about him.
Qiu Yuzi looked carefully and saw that the thoughts scattered by Chen Cuo were crystal clear. He knew that he had just peeked into the foundation of Taoism and guarded his heart. He had really sharpened his Taoist heart and refined his spirit. He nodded secretly and was about to mention the Kunlun incident, but what was behind it
The Taomu Sword suddenly shook, stopping the man from speaking.
Behind him, several monks filed in, each of them clasping their hands and saluting Chen Cuo, speaking respectfully.
Chen Cuo returned the greetings one by one. He glanced at the several monks and noticed the thick Buddha light that emitted from them. He couldn't help but be surprised and realized that the people in front of him were not ordinary people.
Yuan Hui took the initiative to introduce him: "These are all temple masters and Dharma masters of big temples."
The white-bearded monk said with a smile: "Lao Na, the master of Longhua Temple, Fashan."
Zhang Ju looked at the person coming and was confused, but when he heard the name, his expression changed.
He had heard about Master Fashan. He was from a noble family, knowledgeable and respected by many celebrities. He was a well-known eminent monk in Jiankang City. Zhang Ju once visited him with his elders, but he was unable to meet him!
A monk with a beard on his face also came over and said, "The Master of Chongfu Temple, a poor monk, strictly observes the mirror."
This time it was Chen He's turn to change his expression.
Chongfu Temple is not an unknown temple. It ranks among the top five among the Jiankang temples. It is favored by high-ranking officials in Beijing. Officials and their families often go to worship Buddha. Chen's mother is one of them. Moreover, there are many monks in Chongfu Temple. On weekdays, there are many monks in Chongfu Temple.
When Chen's mother passed by, not to mention the monks in the temple, it was not easy to see even the monk Vina!
Look at this monk again. Although he has a rough appearance, he has a solemn appearance and has his own majesty. There will definitely be no counterfeiting in this Guishan Temple.
"The Master of Qixia Temple, a poor monk, speaks." The monk with a dull expression put his hands together and spoke. His face looked a bit miserable, but looking at the background, even Chen Cuo was not immune to surprise.
Qixia Temple has been passed down to later generations, and its popularity continued until I passed through it!
Looking at the faces of Zhang Ju and Chen He, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes twinkled.
In comparison, the last old monk's introduction seemed much more ordinary.
This master was introduced by Yuan Hui, and then he came over and bowed with his hands together. He was the master of the Lingjiu Temple. He really listened to the Dharma and practiced closed-mouth meditation.
Lingjiu Temple is also a famous temple in Jiankang. It is not as good as the previous three, but this name caught Chen Cuo's attention.
He also noticed that the Master of True Listening was silent and almost unnoticeable when he was unable to move. Even if his thoughts passed by, he would subconsciously ignore it.
"Maybe this is some kind of magical means."
Thinking in his mind, Chen Cuo saluted several eminent monks one by one again, but this time he had to be more solemn.
"Since you are here, how can you not entertain us? Chen Hai." Chen Cuo gave the order, "I will ask someone to clean the guest room and entertain you."
"Here!" Chen Hai immediately became busy.
Chen Cuo said to Yuan Hui again: "Don't be surprised, the master of the temple, he seems to be a guest."
Yuan Hui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the temple is really neglecting you. If you need anything else, just ask someone to give you orders. Huizhi, you can also come and help." After saying that, he added: "I shouldn't bother you at this moment.
Junhou Qingxiu, but several senior brothers admire Junhou very much, and the opportunity is rare, so they came to visit. Several senior brothers are profound in Buddhism, and they came to chant sutras, which will also help Junhou stabilize his state of mind."
"Exactly what I want!" Chen Cuo nodded, somewhat understanding in his heart. He knew that after today, it would be difficult to stay here for a long time.
After some tidying up and several people sitting down, Chen Cuo called Zhang Ju over again and said, "This is my cousin. He is from the Zhang family in Wu County."
All the monks greeted him one after another.
Zhang Ju was flattered and hurriedly returned the gift, then stood aside, feeling surprised and happy.
He had always wanted to make friends with famous people. The eminent monks in front of him all had extraordinary backgrounds. Being able to show up in front of a few people would be regarded as seniority in the future. There were many benefits. How could he not like it?
What's surprising is that this cousin used to be quiet and not showy, let alone his brother. I didn't expect that this quiet guy would actually cause such a fuss!
As he thought about it, he recalled that he had always treated his cousin with courtesy and never offended him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more excited!
"We should be closer in the future!"
But soon, when he saw the expressions of several eminent monks, he suddenly felt enlightened and stood up to leave.
"This man is quite discerning." Qiu Yuzi sat aside, staring at Chen Cuo, sometimes surprised and sometimes frowning.
As soon as Zhang Ju left, Yuan Hui said: "Your Majesty, please sit down. I and several senior brothers will use Buddha's light to help you calm down your distracting thoughts."
"It's what I asked for." Of course Chen Cuo would not refuse.
Outside the house, after Zhang Ju came out, he was still in a bad mood and couldn't help laughing.
Chen He looked at the closed door, surprised and uncertain.
Just in time, Chen Hai returned to the courtyard, walked forward, and said seriously: "Brother, you have also seen the appearance of my master. How can a prince's mansion trap you? Don't say those words just now!"
Chen He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
At the gate, a figure suddenly appeared, it was Chui Yunzi who was about to arrive.
After looking at it, he looked confused.
"Where is my senior brother?"
.
.
On the other side, on top of the mountain.
King Ancheng, who had just woken up from trance, looked surprised after listening to Li Duoshou's narration.
"Is there still such a thing?"
Li Duoshou cupped his hands and said: "My subordinates are not doing things well, so the king cannot take full credit. If you absorb all the purple energy of the dynasty, you will surely succeed to the throne. Now I am afraid there will be some twists and turns, please punish the king."
"It doesn't matter," King An Cheng smiled slightly, "Actually, this is a good thing. It is equivalent to gaining the acknowledgment of Emperor Gaozu. You have made meritorious deeds, so why should you be punished? Instead, you should be rewarded, but it is not convenient to publicize it now."
Li Duoshou took a deep breath and asked: "What about the Marquis of Linru County?"
"The Marquis of Linru County is a clan member or a reincarnated immortal," King An Cheng laughed, "The great ancestor favored him again, which shows that this person has deep luck. If he can help him, then he will get the dragon energy, and the lonely king will get the dragon energy.
It’s a good thing to be able to get an arm and double happiness!”
Li Duoshou showed admiration, but since he had taken refuge, he wanted to make plans for his lord, and said: "My subordinates are watching from a distance, and I see that the monarch is quite wandering in the mood of seeking the truth. I am afraid that he wants to break away from the ordinary world and devote himself to seeking the truth."
, blood, family ties, fame and wealth may not be able to hold his heart!"
"There are many Taoist secrets in the collection of books in Gu Na Mansion, and there is always something he desires," King An Cheng sighed as he spoke, "Looking at money as dirt, to put it simply, who can really get rid of it?
This place of attachment in the world of mortals is not so easy to give up. If he can really float into the world, it would be admirable, so why should he be persistent?"
Li Duoshou lowered his head and lowered his hands, nodded in agreement, and then said: "Fan Hui and other monks are going to visit, will the king also go to visit?"
King Ancheng smiled and said: "Gu is hiding his identity and whereabouts. Besides, everyone is going, including you and me. How can I make my nephew remember it? When I go back, I first find out his situation and see if there is anyone I can help.
Always make him feel comfortable."
Li Duoshou nodded and took note.
As King An Cheng said something, he suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, people from the Shen family came to hint a few days ago that they wanted to marry the Zong family. With the age of the Marquis of Linru County, we can arrange it just right."
Li Duoshou frowned and said, "That daughter of the Shen family has an extraordinary destiny and should be the crown prince's concubine."
"It is precisely because Gu's nephew and Shu Bao are close in age that I thought of this girl," King An Cheng stepped forward, "If she can recruit great talents for Gu, what would she be reluctant to give up? Maybe, this is hers.
