Chapter 64 Yunluo County Master and the Giant Guanyin Statue
"Rely on your brothers at home and rely on your friends when you go out!"
"Today, the four of us brothers have arrived at this treasured land for the first time. I hope that everyone will bear with you and bear with us!!"
"Second, fuck the guy!!"
The strong man at the head shouted to the man next to him who was wielding two swords and said.
"Hey! Here we come." The second brother threw his knives and took out a fire seal from his arms. The other brother beside him threw a wine gourd.
The second brother took a deep breath, took a sip of wine, blew hard on the fire.
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly, blazing flames shot out.
The fire was radiating and the scene was extremely exciting!!
"Yeah!"
“Wonderful, wonderful!!”
"Pa bang bang..."
The people around him clapped their hands and applauded happily.
Another strong man came up at the right time, holding gongs and drums, turned the gongs and drums upside down, and collected fees from the common people...
It was also the first time for Zhou Miaotong to see a busker. His eyes widened with excitement and novelty, and he clapped his hands happily.
Zhu Youji looked at Zhou Miaotong's appearance and smiled and shook his head.
She is indeed a little girl who is inexperienced in world affairs!
"Okay, okay, little slave, look at it!" A noble man in gorgeous clothes pulled the sleeves of the 'young master' next to him and shouted.
"Jun... Young Master, please keep your voice down and your movements down." The slave was a little embarrassed. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention.
"What does it matter? It's so hard to come out!!" Your young master said dissatisfied.
"Having said that, we can't be too ostentatious, and we have to go back before Xu Shi, otherwise we will be discovered by the Queen Mother and we will be doomed." Xiaonu reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, little slave, you are so annoying. After all, you always make me angry, don't you?" the noble master said impatiently.
"But...but..." The little slave wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the noble master.
"It's nothing, don't make me angry!"
The identities of these two people are almost revealed. They are Princess Yunluo and her personal maid and slave.
Just as Zhu Youji expected, these two people ran out.
After all, Princess Yunluo is famous for being noisy.
"Hey! Princess, do you think that is His Royal Highness the Fourth?" Xiao Nu looked at the fire-breathing performance and suddenly noticed something, and whispered quickly.
"What? Fourth brother?" Princess Yunluo was slightly startled, and quickly looked in the direction of the slave. Sure enough, she saw Zhu Youji and Zhou Miaotong.
"Huh? Is it really the fourth brother? Why is he here?"
Princess Yunluo looked at Zhu Youji and Zhou Miaotong curiously. Seeing the two people's intimacy, she seemed to understand something. A smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth and murmured: "Fourth brother usually follows the rules and doesn't look close. She looks like a woman, but I didn’t expect that she would look like this behind her back. Hehe..."
At this time, the busker walked up to Zhou Miaotong and said with a smile: "Noble man, if you have money, you can give me money."
Zhou Miaotong was slightly startled, looked at the gongs and drums full of copper coins, and then touched himself, his expression instantly became a little awkward.
She rarely went out to play, and when she did go out, it was always with her maids by her side. When she bought things, they always paid for them.
How could she carry money with her?
Zhou Miaotong saw the busker's eyes gradually changing, and quickly stretched out her hand, tugging at Zhu Youji's sleeve, and turned to look at Zhu Youji, with pleading eyes in her eyes, which meant, please help...
"Haha!" Zhu Youji smiled and shook his head, took out a couple of silver coins from his waist, put them into the gongs and drums, and said, "Is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. Thank you, noble man. Thank you, noble man." The busker suddenly beamed, thanked him again and again, and walked towards the others.
"I will pay you back the money." Zhou Miaotong said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. I was planning to give you some money. Besides, I'm embarrassed to take your private money." Zhu Youji refused directly, then changed the subject and said, "If you really want to return my favor, you can give me some money in a few days." Please treat me to dinner!"
Let the girl owe you a favor and then make the next invitation.
This is an old routine from the past life.
But how did Zhou Miaotong, a lady who lived in the Ming Dynasty, know this routine?
So, she thought for a while and said softly: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Okay... then it's settled..." Zhu Youji responded with a smile. Suddenly he felt the gaze of others, frowned slightly, raised his head and looked into the distance, and suddenly discovered Princess Yunluo and Xiao slave.
Sure enough, they left the palace!
"Oops! Fourth brother, I seem to have discovered me. No, I have to run away quickly." Princess Yunluo was startled when she saw Zhu Youji staring at her, and quickly turned around and ran away.
"Your Majesty... Young Master, wait for me." The slave also followed.
Princess Yunluo was not afraid of Zhu Youji, but it was against etiquette and law that she secretly left the palace. If Zhu Youji caught up with her, she would definitely be sent back to the palace.
So, she ran away without hesitation.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Miaotong asked when she noticed that Zhu Youji was talking and suddenly looked away.
"I saw an acquaintance." Zhu Youji explained casually.
"Oh!" Zhou Miaotong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, let's go to the temple fair! Today is the birthday of Guanyin. There will be many activities at the temple fair. Let's go and join in the fun." Zhu Youji suggested.
"Okay!" Zhou Miaotong himself is not a very independent person, so naturally he will not refuse Zhu Youji.
Zhu Youji took Zhou Miaotong's hand and walked towards the temple just like before.
Zhou Miaotong's ears turned red all of a sudden. She felt really embarrassed when a young girl like her was being held by a man on the street.
But she didn't dare to take her hand out directly and reject Zhu Youji loudly.
After all, he is a prince, so he still brings him out to play.
The key point is that it's rude.
Zhou Miaotong refused, so Zhu Youji deliberately pretended not to know and led Zhou Miaotong generously to Wuzen Temple, the largest temple in Kyoto.
In front of the gate of Wuchan Temple, there is a bustling crowd with many pilgrims coming and going to offer incense. It is so bustling and spectacular.
"Let's go in." Zhu Youji naturally let go of his hand and said softly.
"Well..." Zhou Miaotong retracted his hand, still a little embarrassed, and responded softly.
Zhu Youji took Zhou Miaotong into Wuchan Temple.
Inside the temple, you can see various Dharma images, Buddha statues, Four Heavenly Kings, Buddha, Eighteen Arhats, and various Avalokitesvara. The entire temple covers a huge area and there are thousands of monks of all kinds. There are so many Buddha statues that it is dizzying to see.
Today is the birthday of Guanyin, so the most popular one is of course the Guanyin Hall where Master Guanyin lives.
"I heard that asking for a fortune teller is very effective, what do you think? Do you want to give it a try?" Zhu Youji turned to look at Zhou Miaotong and asked.
Zhou Miaotong also showed a trace of expectation in his eyes and said: "Okay, let's give it a try!"
Zhu Youji and Zhou Miaotong walked side by side. As soon as they entered the Guanyin Hall, they found that something seemed not quite right.
All the pilgrims and believers knelt on the ground and grabbed the ground with their heads, showing great respect.
The most surprising thing is that the giant Guanyin statue, which is more than ten meters high, actually emits a faint Buddha light. The whole statue is full of spirituality, as if it has come to life.
"What...what is going on?" Zhou Miaotong also felt that the situation was a bit strange, and she was unconsciously afraid, so she asked in a low voice.
Zhu Youji's eyes sparkled, he looked at the Guanyin statue that exuded Buddha's light, and murmured: "It looks like there is something weird here..."??
