Hu Xiaotian is naturally satisfied after achieving his goal. In fact, Rong Shi is just a small person, but why does Huo Xiaoru want to rescue him? Or even use this as a condition for meeting him? In Hu Xiaotian's impression, she and Rong Shi should have no intersection. If
If we insist on saying that there is, then it is because of Xue Shengjing, Xue Shengjing and Ren Tianqing. Could it be that Ren Tianqing asked Huo Xiaoru to do this through Xue Shengjing?
Ahead was Fengyi Villa. After discussing with Qiqi, Hu Xiaotian decided to go directly to the tomb instead of going to the Villa. The Villa was once inspected by the imperial court. After Hu Xiaotian accepted the throne, it was restored and rebuilt. However, Xu Fengyi's tomb was not affected at all.
, Qiqi asked others not to follow so as not to disturb Xu Fengyi’s soul, but she and Hu Xiaotian went up the mountain to pay homage and sweep the grave.
After paying homage to their deceased mother, they went directly to Tianlong Temple without stopping for any time.
At dusk, their team had arrived at Tianlong Temple in Luojia Mountain. Unlike the last time when they accompanied the old emperor to worship Buddha, Tianlong Temple did not put on a big show this time. It was also in response to Princess Yongyang's request. Qiqi
He didn't want this incident to alarm the whole temple. Tianlong Temple also wanted to do so. Qiqi did not choose to enter through the main entrance. Instead, he and Hu Xiaotian and others took 30 guards up the mountain from the west gate and entered Puxian Yuan through the path. Instead
Like other members of the royal family, they enter the main entrance through Wuming Bridge.
Although Qiqi deliberately chose to keep a low profile, Tianlong Temple did not dare to be too negligent. Master Tongyuan, the abbot, was already waiting at the west gate. One of the people accompanying him was Tongji, the law enforcement elder of the Discipline Academy, and Tongjing, the supervisor of Tianlong Temple.
, these two people are both senior brothers of the abbot, and have high status in Tianlong Temple. Hu Xiaotian also dealt with them when he came last time.
After the three met Qiqi, they came over to greet Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You're welcome, three masters. We are all old friends. I have been to Tianlong Temple too, and I am familiar with every place."
After hearing what he said, Tongji and Tongjing looked at each other, and both of them looked unhappy. The last time Hu Xiaotian came with the old emperor Long Xuanen to chant sutras and worship Buddha, they stayed there for a month, and they made a lot of trouble during that time.
Trouble, I didn’t realize that it was also the time when I set fire to the Sutra Pavilion, and I got help from this guy. Although several people were quite unhappy with Hu Xiaotian, due to his current status, no one could express their true emotions.
Abbot Tongyuan said respectfully: "The residence of Her Royal Highness the Princess has been arranged. It is in Puxian Monastery. The monks around Puxian Monastery have also been cleared of martial law. No idlers are allowed to enter. The princess just needs to have a good rest."
Qiqi nodded and said, "I'd like to trouble the masters."
Tongyuan led Qiqi in front, and Qiqi followed Tongyuan up the stairs.
Hu Xiaotian walked side by side with Tongjing, and he said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for several years, but Master Tongjing is still so energetic and fierce. Is his temper better than before?" The reason why he said this was entirely because Tongjing has a hot temper.
Tongjing said with a look of shame on his face: "I made the prince laugh. This young monk has poor understanding and has too many distracting thoughts in his mind."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not a bad thing to have many distracting thoughts, as long as you don't think about women!"
Several monks looked embarrassed when they heard this man's nonsense. The others couldn't help but laugh. Liang Dazhong, who was walking behind Hu Xiaotian, grinned almost to his ears.
Qiqi couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Buddhism is a quiet place where you can't talk nonsense."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Then I have to be mute. My real name is Hu. What I say is all nonsense."
Now Qi Qi couldn't help laughing and glared at Hu Xiaotian, but even a blind person could see the tenderness in his eyes.
Several eminent monks just pretended that they saw nothing and accompanied them to Puxian Monastery. According to Qiqi's request, the security of Puxian Monastery was handed over to this group of guards. In order to be absolutely sure, Abbot Tongyuan was too special.
Thirty-six monks were arranged to guard the roads leading to the West Courtyard to ensure that no accidents occurred tonight. But Tongyuan also knew in his heart that they could only ensure that not a single bird could fly into Puxian Courtyard, but
There is no guarantee that the bird will fly out of Puxianyuan, because with Hu Xiaotian, anything can happen.
After arriving at Puxian Yuan and settling down, Tongyuan asked Qiqi. He had already prepared fasting meals for them, but Qiqi had no intention of using the fasting meal and asked Tongyuan to arrange fasting meals for his subordinates in the evening. When others were using fasting meals,
Accompanied by Tongyuan, she walked around the Puxian courtyard.
Qiqi said: "One of the reasons why I come to Baosha Temple to burn incense and fulfill my vows this morning is one of the reasons. Another reason is that I want to pay a visit to Master Yuanmu and say a few words to him in person."
Tongyuan said respectfully: "The monk will convey the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess on your behalf. It's already late today, and it should be tomorrow that the uncle comes to pay a visit to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Qiqi said: "Why bother Master Yuanmu to come? I will pay a visit to Master after offering incense tomorrow."
Tongyuan said: "The poor monk will arrange everything for His Highness." Facing the powerful Princess Yongyang, Tongyuan behaved very cooperatively.
When night fell in this ancient temple, Master Tongyuan slowly walked into the Buddha Heart Hall of Tianlong Temple.
The constant sound of wooden fish came from the hall. Tongyuan raised his eyes and saw that under the candlelight, he was sitting cross-legged on the futon and chanting sutras. He did not dare to disturb him and was not in a hurry to get closer.
However, the sound of wooden fish suddenly stopped at this moment. Master Yuanmu opened and closed his eyes, and his gaze fell on Tongyuan like lightning.
Tongyuan secretly praised his uncle's sharp gaze in his heart, but he felt that something was wrong. When his uncle left Tianlong Temple last time, his eyes were much calmer. It could be said that he had the essence and returned to his original nature. But after coming back this time
But it was like a pearl that washed away the dust. Tongyuan didn't know if this was progress or regression? Maybe Uncle Master has improved his martial arts, but his Buddhist practice has probably declined. He said respectfully: "Uncle Master!"
Yuanmu hummed and said, "Princess Yongyang and her party have settled down?"
Tongyuan nodded and said: "We have arranged to stay at Puxian Yuan, and Her Royal Highness the Princess proposed to meet with the uncle alone."
Yuanmu smiled lightly and said, "She came here just to see me!"
Tongyuan said: "Uncle Master, do you think they will return the Heart Sutra?"
Yuanmu said: "Maybe." After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes.
Tongyuan didn't dare to disturb him, and when he was about to leave, he heard Yuanmu say again: "Hu Xiaotian may go to Split Cloud Valley tonight."
Tongyuan said: "Uncle, don't worry, I have made arrangements. Thirty-six monks under the leadership of Mingzheng will guard all the exits of Samantabhadra. The people inside will not be able to leave even if they have wings."
Yuanmu said: "Since they are here, they must have a purpose. If you trap them all inside, how can you know what they want to do?"
Tongyuan said: "I am also considering the safety of the princess."
Yuanmu sighed softly and said: "Although you have made adequate preparations, you still can't trap them in the end. What should come will always come. With Hu Xiaotian's current martial arts, even Lao Na can't restrain him, unless it's
..." Yuanmu started to speak but stopped.
Tongyuan said: "Uncle, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not?"
"Why do you have to ask if you can't figure it out yourself?"
Tongyuan was speechless.
Yuanmu sighed and said: "I know you must be worried. Everything I do may bring trouble to Tianlong Temple. You are the abbot of Tianlong Temple. You don't want Tianlong Temple to be destroyed in your hands, right?"
Tongyuan nodded.
Yuanmu opened his eyes again, pointed to the futon opposite and said: "Sit!"
Tongyuan came to the opposite side of him and sat down cross-legged, looking at Yuanmu with a respectful expression.
Yuanmu said: "The less you know about some things, the better."
Tongyuan Dao: "I don't have much curiosity, I just feel that nothing is more important than the continuation of the incense of Tianlong Temple. Although the disaster three hundred years ago has passed, the disaster caused to Tianlong Temple has
The trauma has not healed to this day. I say this not because I am afraid of the court, but to prevent the monks of Tianlong Temple from being persecuted by the court."
Yuanmu smiled and said: "You are the abbot. It is your responsibility to maintain Tianlong Temple and protect the monks. You have done a good job these years."
Tongyuan Dao: "It's not that I don't know myself. My talent, virtue and cultivation are not worthy of my current status."
Yuanmu said: "What is status? As an abbot, you still remember the word status in your mind after practicing Buddhism for decades? When I refused the position of abbot and insisted on handing the position of abbot to you, actually I wanted to
Shirking responsibility, not wanting to bear this burden."
Tongyuan said: "Uncle, don't say that. Without my uncle's help over the years, Tianlong Temple would not be what it is today."
Yuanmu shook his head and said: "I haven't done anything for Tianlong Temple? Even when Tianlong Temple was in trouble, I wasn't here."
Tongyuan said: "Uncle, although there are many things that I don't understand, I still have a question. Shouldn't we monks jump out of the Three Realms? If we are not among the Five Elements, there is no need to get too close to the court.
"He was puzzled by many of this uncle's practices, but due to his dignity as a teacher, he couldn't say some things directly, so he could only say them as tactfully as possible.
Yuanmu said: "In the past two years, many of our disciples from Lingyin Temple have gone to Lingyin Temple. In fact, the original intention of me proposing this matter is to avoid the disaster of Tianlong Temple one day and to preserve the incense."
Tongyuan felt an ominous omen from Yuanmu's words. Today, Princess Yongyang came to Tianlong Temple to see Yuanmu. I wonder what they have to talk about? If Yuanmu really offended the court, then Tianlong Temple
It is very likely that we will encounter a disaster. What kind of thing makes Yuanmu do it even if it offends the court?
Yuanmu said: "Go ahead. You don't have to worry too much. I have a clear idea. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Tianlong Temple should not be affected."
It's just a dozen votes short of 2,000, and I'm still dissatisfied with the votes. Brothers who still have monthly votes, please support me, just one! (To be continued.)
