Master Zhiren first smiled and nodded with them, then looked at the two princesses Mingda and Changyu, smiled and saluted them, and said with a smile: "What are the two princesses coming to this temple for?"
Mingda hurriedly said: "My grandmother worshiped Buddha before she was alive, so we thought of coming to offer incense and pray for the royal grandmother."
This matter was easy to handle, but since they were princesses, the incense they burned was naturally different, so Master Zhiren asked someone to find the host to make arrangements.
Master Zhiren left before the end of the Western Expedition. They took another route back, which was much faster than Man Bao and others. The news of the victory of the Western Expedition came only after they returned to the capital.
It has been four months since Zhou Man and the others came back, but they have never contacted each other.
At this time, Master Zhiren looked them up and down, and found that several of them had grown a lot taller, and their faces had become much more determined, and the childishness they had when they first met had dissipated a lot.
Master Zhiren smiled and sighed in his heart, he has grown up after all.
Master Zhiren asked Jie Ai to teach Bai Shan and the others martial arts. Jie Ai immediately agreed without saying anything about reporting back to the host.
Manbao and the others were overjoyed and sat down to talk to Master Zhiren. They looked very concerned about him and asked him, "How was your journey back, Master? Did you encounter anything interesting on the way?"
Master Zhiren smiled and said: "Of course it is not as magnificent as the children..."
They talked for a long time about traveling to the west and returning to the east. Bai Shan also encouraged him, "Now that several countries in the Western Regions have surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, there will be no more wars in a short time. If Master Zhiren still wants to go to the Western Regions to seek Buddhist scriptures, now this
The time is the best.”
Master Zhiren smiled and nodded, saying that he would consider setting off after he had finished translating the Buddhist scriptures in his hands.
Ming Da was listening with envy. Chang Yu was not very interested in these things, so he quietly whispered to Man Bao, "Master Jie Ai's martial arts is very powerful?"
Man Bao nodded, gave a thumbs up and said, "So awesome."
Chang Yu rolled his eyes, "Can he use a whip? Monks practice hard skills, so I'm afraid it's not suitable for you. Why don't you practice whipping with me? Let me tell you, my whip is very good."
"
Man Bao has seen it before, but she doesn't think it looks good. "I want to be able to fly to the roof with one jump, and my posture is elegant. Now I can only step on the wall and jump to the top of the wall, and I still have to climb a while. It's not very good-looking. And the weapons
Well, I think the sword looks better."
"The whip saves effort," Chang Yu said: "As long as you master the skill, you can throw out the flowers while standing, and others will not be able to get close to you."
"I don't want a battlefield, I just want to look good."
"There's nothing ladylike about jumping around. Wouldn't it look good standing there and cracking a whip?"
Man Bao: "I still want to fly. Have you ever seen Jie Hui's leaping skills when fighting with others? Every move is just like... just like the person in the painting, swish, clean and neat, very beautiful."
Changyu: "...just to look good."
"That's not entirely true," Man Bao sighed: "Only after we went out did we realize that it is very dangerous outside. Although there are guards to protect us, but we know some martial arts, we can save our lives at critical moments, right? Everyone says that famous teachers make great disciples.
, Jie’an’s martial arts skills are the best among the people we know.”
Chang Yu: "Can you be more powerful than Li Shangshu, Su Guogong and others in the court?"
"I haven't seen them fight either."
The topic gradually drifted away, and when the host was ready, Manbao and the others got up and said goodbye to Master Zhiren, and accompanied the two princesses to burn incense.
The escort maids who came to Huguo Temple in advance also appeared and handed the sesame oil money they had prepared early in the morning to the host. Seeing that the sun was about to set, they prepared to go back down the mountain.
Mingda and Changyu did not let the carriage come up. Instead, they walked down the steps together and mixed in with the pilgrims. Mingda said to Manbao excitedly: "Look, no one recognizes us."
No one recognized Mingda and the others, but everyone could tell that their identities were not simple.
However, Huguo Temple is a national temple, and there are always many dignitaries and dignitaries coming to offer incense, so the pilgrims did not pay much attention to them. They just stepped aside slightly and did not get too close to them.
But this is enough to make me happy.
Changyu didn't understand this kind of happiness, but when her sisters were happy, she was also happy with them.
After getting in the car, she was still recommending her whip to Man Bao, "If you learn how to whip with me, I will give you the whip I used to use when I was a child. It was my tenth birthday gift from my mother-in-law."
Mingda was amused when he heard this, "Why is my sister suddenly so good at being a teacher?"
"It's rare to find someone who likes martial arts as much as I do. Naturally, it's best to play with whips like me, so that we can play together in the future."
Man Bao lay next to the car window and said to her: "You are stupid. You use a whip, and I also use a whip. When we play together, do you just whip the whip together? It's too boring."
She said: "It's your turn to learn the whip, and I'll learn the sword. This way it's fun to use the whip against the sword."
"Don't you want to practice martial arts with a monk? It should be palm or fist, right?" Chang Yu hit her, "At most it's a stick. If a long soldier versus a short soldier, you will definitely lose."
Man Bao listened for a moment, then said unwillingly: "What's the big deal? I won't pull your whip close to you? When the time comes, your whip won't be able to be used, so it will be of no use to you."
Seeing the two of them fighting each other inside and outside the car, Mingda quickly stopped them and said, "You haven't competed yet. This is all just words."
Especially Man Bao, "Have you learned it?"
Man Bao suddenly stopped talking.
Chang Yu got back the game and started laughing happily.
Mingda knocked on the carriage and asked the driver to return to the palace. She said to Man Bao, "You can learn martial arts from Kong first."
When the carriage started to move, Man Bao let go of the window and stepped aside. Chang Yu pulled open the window and stuck his head out and said: "Man Bao, you still have four days of vacation. Learn first, and we will talk about it when we enter the palace.
Counterattack."
Man Bao corrected: "It's six days!"
Then he said: "I'm going to inspect my Zhitian Farm. I can only study for two days at most. I won't compete with you. It will take at least half a year for me to study."
As the carriage went further and further away, Chang Yu could only say loudly: "Two days have passed, and there are obviously still four days left..."
The carriage was far away, and Manbao didn't bother to answer her. Mingda would definitely tell her anyway.
Sure enough, before Changyu's head was back, Mingda had already said: "It will be the ten-day holiday in four days. If we count the two days together, it will be six days."
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, "Oh my god, she has been on vacation for so long?"
Mingda smiled and said: "She has been locked up in the Imperial Mansion for such a long time, so naturally she needs to be kept for a longer period of time, and it is also a coincidence that during the six-day holiday, she went to the court meeting for one day and the Yamen for one day, and it happened to be the tenth day off.
"
Isn't it just right? Xiao Yuanzheng specially arranged the time for Man Bao and Dr. Lu. After all, the psychological pressure is quite high after being locked up in the Imperial Manor for so long, so it is just right for them to take a rest.
Doctor Lu has been resting well recently, and Man Bao plans to make up for her spring outing, but before that, she has to visit Mrs. Tang's cousin.
