Chapter Three Hundred and Fourteen: Great Monk, Pindao wants you to work for free, do you do it?
Whoosh!
A Taoist priest in white took the hand of a beautiful woman and appeared out of thin air in a well-defended house in Mayi City, and landed on the ground.
"You have checked out the world that a poor Taoist has in his sleeves..."
Kong Qing let go of Li Xiuning's hand, took a step back, and bowed to her.
"I'll take my leave first!"
"Um!"
Li Xiuning touched the large box neatly tied with ribbons in her hand, and waved to Kong Qing with a smile.
"It's getting late, you go back and rest!"
"Farewell!"
Kong Qing bent down again, then turned around and went out, leaping up into the sky.
Li Xiuning stood by the window and watched a white figure disappear into the sky. Then she turned around, placed the big box in her hand on the bed, and began to unpack it.
"Let me see what gift Xiao Qingwei specially selected for me?"
After untying the ribbon, Sanniang discovered that the large box was wrapped in a very smooth paper that felt like silk.
"I actually looked for something like this..."
The third lady held the wrapping paper in her hand and shook it twice, listening to the swishing sound.
"It seems that Xiao Qingwei has really put some thought into it. Hey! What is written on this box..."
Li Xiuning studied the writing on the box for a while and found that she couldn't understand it at all.
"Maybe it's some kind of seal script from the Taoist sect. Forget it, this isn't important!"
As she said that, she reached out and lifted the lid of the paper box and looked inside the box curiously.
On the left side of the box, there is a black strip supported by cardboard, with many grids on it, which looks like a T-shaped object. On the right side, there is a piece of the same material, black with grids, and two
A bulging piece of clothing.
"What's this?"
Li Xiuning curiously reached out and picked up the bulging piece of clothing and looked at it, then picked up the T-shaped piece of clothing and looked at it, then threw it back in confusion.
"I can't figure it out...there seems to be more down there!"
Then, Li Xiuning opened the top layer and took out a piece of clothing made of the same material as the previous two strange items of clothing.
She unfolded it curiously and made some gestures on her body.
This is a gauze dress with suspenders on it. The material is all hollow and there are two bulging parts on the chest of the gauze dress.
After a gesture, the smart third lady immediately understood!
She blinked, and suddenly she felt her face heat up and her heart beat.
"spit!"
After taking a sip, Li Xiuning hurriedly threw the gauze clothes in her hands into the box as if she had been stung by a scorpion, then closed the lid of the box and looked at the positions of the female officials waiting for her outside as if she was a thief.
look.
"Is this the gift Xiao Qingwei specially selected for me? This little guy is really a bad learner..."
With that said, Li Xiuning quietly lifted up the cardboard box again, looked inside, and nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, he is definitely a bad student!"
…
There is a Fahua Temple in the Nancheng of Mayi City!
Although the name of the temple is Fahua Temple, in fact, this temple has nothing to do with Fahua Sect, because it is the dojo of Renzong master Shi Sengyan.
Although Master Shi Sengyan belongs to the Lotus sect, which is a sect that advocates reciting the Buddha's name to be reincarnated in the Pure Land, he was inspired by the saying "Medicine King Bodhisattva's Essence" in the "Lotus Sutra": "He will go to the world of peace and happiness."
’, so he replaced the Lotus Sutra that was supposed to be recited, the Infinite Life Sutra, with the Lotus Sutra, and even changed the name of his temple to Fahua Temple.
Of course, the name of the Fahua Temple did not last long. After a few decades, when Wu Zetian promoted the "Dayun Sutra" specially tailored for her, the name of the Fahua Temple would be changed again.
Dayun Temple.
Under the cover of night, Shi Sengyan was sitting cross-legged in the main hall, lowering his head and murmuring.
"Today, when we heard the teachings of the Buddha, we jumped for joy, and we have never achieved anything like this before. The Buddha said that the voice-hearers should become Buddhas and gather the unparalleled treasures. They can obtain it without seeking..."
"Hahaha……"
At this moment, a burst of clear laughter suddenly came from outside.
"What a 'gathering of supreme treasures, don't ask for self-satisfaction', you monks are really crazy about money."
"Namo Amitabha!"
Shi Sengyan recited a Buddhist name, slowly raised his head and looked outside the door of the main hall.
"Why is Master Qingwei so aggressive..."
"Is the poor man aggressive?"
Kong Qing walked straight in from the door of the main hall with a sneer on his face.
"If the poor Taoist were really as aggressive as you said, old monk, your Lotus Sect's Fahua Temple would have been uprooted by the poor Taoist."
"Namo Amitabha!"
Shi Sengyan put his hands together and chanted the name of the Buddha.
"Thank you so much for Master Qingwei's mercy. Everyone in our Lian Sect shares the sentiments of Master Qingwei's virtue."
"No need!"
Kong Qing waved his hand and replied unceremoniously.
"You, Lian Zong, can return this love to Pindao now..."
"The old monk has already guessed..."
Shi Sengyan replied calmly.
"Before the real person comes to see the old monk, the old monk has already given the order. When the Turks come back again, the Lianzong believers in Mayi City will stand behind Princess Pingyang to guard Mayi City and protect their family and country!"
Kong Qing blinked silently.
etc!
What does the Mayi people's defense of their homeland have to do with Pindao?
Is this the favor you repay to poor Taoist?
Old monk, are you a little wishful thinking...
"I don't care about this matter. Master, you can go to Sanniangzi yourself to ask for credit for the Lian Sect."
Kong Qing looked down at Shi Sengyan with a serious face.
"The favor that Pindao asked Master and Lian Zong to return to Pindao has nothing to do with this matter."
"oh……"
Shi Sengyan raised his head strangely.
"This is not the case, so what do you want?"
"Pindao has two things to do here..."
As he spoke, Kong Qing raised two fingers and gestured towards Shi Sengyan.
"First, the Fahua Sect has two temples in Mayi. Pindao wants you, the Lian Sect, to use all your strength to capture these two temples for Pindao. Is there any problem?"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Shi Sengyan raised his head strangely.
He had no idea that what Master Qingwei asked him to do was to deal with Fahua Sect's temple in Mayi.
"The old monk is a little confused by the real person's request!"
"Well, the poor monk found a man-eating tiger in Huoshan. After some investigation, he found out that he was actually a person. He just stole the property of the Fahua Sect Pilu Temple and was transformed into a man-eating tiger by the curse on the property.
Tiger."
Disgust appeared on Kong Qing's face.
"It's outrageous for Pilu Temple to impose a tiger-turning curse on its property. Is the punishment for stealing property from a monk's temple to make him eat people? What kind of bullshit logic is this? The poor man felt very uncomfortable, so he
If you want to deal with them, it can be considered as revenge for those who were eaten by tigers, so what! Can't you, the Lian Sect, not do it?"
"Of course not!"
Shi Sengyan replied without hesitation.
"This kind of curse is really too much and completely goes against the original intention of our Buddha. We, the Lotus Sect, are willing to do our best for the real person and clear out the two temples of the Lotus Sect."
"good!"
Kong Qing nodded with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect Master Seng Yan to be so frank. When I came here, I was still thinking about what I should do if your Lian Zong didn't agree. It's best to do this now."
"That's natural. Our Lian Sect is dedicated to doing good, so naturally we won't do anything inappropriate."
Shi Sengyan clasped his hands together and recited another Buddha's name.
"Namo Amitabha! May I ask the real person what the second thing is?"
"The second thing is the internal affairs of our Taishi Bureau..."
Kong Qing stood with his hands behind his hands, his posture was leisurely, the moonlight shone in from the window and fell on his face.
"When Liu Wuzhou surrendered to the Turks, he canceled the Xuantan of my Taishi Bureau in Mayi. As a result, Pindao just went around and found that demons and ghosts were very rampant in Mayi City. They even stole souls with such arrogance that it was simply unbearable.
This is intolerable, so Pindao plans to rebuild the Xuantan of the Taishi Bureau in Mayi."
"Namo Amitabha!"
Shi Sengyan recited the Buddha's name again and said with a sincere expression.
"A true man of great righteousness, the old monk admires him very much!"
"No need to admire..."
Kong Qing turned his head and looked at him with a strange expression.
"Because of the current war and chaos, the Taishi Bureau is seriously short of manpower. Therefore, the Taishi Bureau will not be able to send anyone to Mayi for a while."
"There is no manpower..."
Shi Sengyan asked with some confusion.
"Aren't you right here, Masato?"
"Pindao may leave in a few days."
Kong Qing looked down at Shi Sengyan with a smile on his lips.
"So Pindao must find a suitable manpower, so that he can maintain the operation of the Xuantan and protect the party after Pindao leaves. At least he must be able to persist until Pindao can find manpower to supplement the Xuantan in Mayi.
"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Shi Sengyan finally understood.
"Master, the suitable person you mentioned is not me, the old monk, right?"
Kong Qing raised the corner of his mouth and gave Shi Sengyan a thumbs up.
"Master Seng Yan, the Dharma is indeed profound. That's right, that's what Pindao means."
"this……"
Shi Sengyan subconsciously planned to refuse, but then he saw the little Taoist priest in white opposite him looking at him and tapping the scabbard on his back with his hand, so the words of refusal came to his mouth.
After a lap, it turned out to be...
"May I ask, Master, when can you find more manpower to come to Mayi?"
"This poor Taoist doesn't know..."
Kong Qing spread his hands and answered very frankly.
"It may be half a year, or it may be a year or two. In short, if there are suitable manpower, Pindao will definitely send him to Mayi."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Shi Sengyan chuckled in his heart.
The only one who believes in your words is the devil. The old monk thinks that you just want to drag the old monk to do idle work...
"But of course I won't do nothing..."
Kong Qing touched his scabbard with his hand and looked at Shi Sengyan with a smile.
"Pindao decided to help Master Sengyan deal with the demons and ghosts around Mayi before leaving. It can also be regarded as solving part of the trouble for you. This is okay!"
"hehe!"
Shi Sengyan smiled bitterly and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Namo Amitabha! Since it is to protect the safety of the people in Mayi, the old monk can only do so..."
"Isn't this right?"
Looking at the reluctant old monk in front of him, Kong Qing felt a sense of relief, and he continued with a smile.
"But Pindao still wants to remind you, master, that after you take over Mayi Xuantan, if there are still large-scale demons and ghosts causing trouble near Mayi City, our Taishi Bureau will hold you accountable."
"Of course not!"
Shi Sengyan waved his hands helplessly and said to Kong Qing.
"But the old monk also hopes that the real person can really do what you said in the past two days and do his best to help the poor monk deal with the monsters and ghosts around him."
"rest assured!"
Kong Qing patted his chest with his hand and said generously.
"Just tell Pindao about the monsters you want to deal with, and leave the rest to Pindao."
Looking at the high-spirited Taoist priest in white in front of him, Shi Sengyan grinned and gave a bitter smile.
"hehe……"
Ten minutes later, a satisfied Kong Qing walked out of the hall and looked at the east that had begun to glow faintly. After a long roar, the Gu Chen Sword jumped out from behind, rolled up his body, and disappeared into a sword light.
Shi Sengyan stood at the door of the main hall and watched Kong Qing's figure disappear. Then he turned around silently and waved to a monk who had just gotten up.
"Go and gather all the gold vessels in the various halls of our temple...and! Go and inform the Lian Zong main temple and tell them that all the Buddhist techniques on the gold vessels displayed in the temple must be replaced."
