Chapter 75: Bodhi Ben has no tree
After paying homage to the Buddha from the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the civil and military officials all withdrew from the Yong'an Temple in turn, waiting for the Empress Dowager's decree outside the temple, and Her Royal Highness the Inner Palace Lady has been accompanied by the Empress Dowager, listening to the lecture of the abbot of Yong'an Temple, and several concubines were temporarily taken to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for a short rest.
Several of the horses had already exhausted all their energy by this long and rigorous worship process, and when they saw that there were seats, they didn't care about the etiquette that the horses should have, and they sat on the chairs and didn't want to move.
Soon after, the little novice sent a few cups of tea, and the two horses were already thirsty, and they couldn't wait to take the teacup and send it to their mouths, and I didn't have time to remind me that the tea was hot, and he had already drunk the whole cup of tea.
I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, isn't this tea hot?
After holding the teacup, the hot temperature made me put the teacup back in an instant without hesitation, this is obviously a cup of hot tea!
Ji Sui, the third colt on the other side, couldn't help but laugh when he saw me looking at the second colt with a shocked expression.
"Big horse, don't you know, one of the proud skills of the second horse is to drink water, not afraid of hot, haha!"
I couldn't help blinking, I looked at the second colt for a long time, and I didn't see where he shouted where it was uncomfortable.
Also, aren't there such strange people in the rivers and lakes, who eat torches or iron filings or the like, aren't they safe and sound, and they retreat all over?
"I really didn't expect that the second colt still has such a ability. โ
I couldn't help but be amazed and couldn't help but sigh in appreciation.
However, when the second colt heard this, he sighed and said:
"Alas, no matter how capable you are, this life will be like this. When others look at the brilliance of this concubine, they will know that you and my brothers-in-law know the suffering, but they can only understand it, but they can't pass it on to others!"
After speaking, the expressions of several horse masters were different, and they were all a little helpless.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, if this was placed in the past, I would definitely have such a feeling, the horse seems to be noble, but who has seen it, doesn't it mean that we climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and the husband is expensive with his wife?
Some people flatter and flatter sweetly, but behind their backs, they don't know how to belittle the horse, and look down on the horse master in their hearts! Above this officialdom, the lower is flattering, and the high and the low are always like this, and I am used to it, so it is good not to care about it.
But the other colts may not think so, especially Liu Ji, the fourth colt who has not yet reached the age of the weak crown, thinking that his submissive temperament is inseparable from this.
"Eh~ Today's prayer is a good day, let's not say something that disrupts the fun, let people listen, don't you make jokes. โ
I'm busy diverting the topic, if they continue to talk about it, it's probably another big bucket of bitter water to pour, so let my ears clear a little!
The four horses then sighed, and couldn't help but speak:
"But I never thought that the collection of books in the Bible Pavilion of Yong'an Temple is also quite rich!"
Readers have a common problem, that is, when they see a lot of books, they can't help but itch their hands and want to flip through them, I have them, and the same is true for Liu Ji, the fourth horse.
It was rare to see what Liu Ji was interested in, and said to him with a smile:
"If you are interested, you can take it out and take a look, as long as you don't spend other people's books, Buddhism is a convenient door, and the abbot will not mind if you want to come. โ
The four horses got my answer, smiled and nodded, and walked quickly to the bookshelves.
The second colt sneered and said:
"This is a temple, and the library is naturally full of some scriptures and Buddhist scriptures, what can I see? Besides, I have to read the scriptures for the next few days, are you afraid that you won't have time to read them?"
As he spoke, the mocking gaze of the two horses came towards me, and they were still blaming me for making my own decisions.
I looked indifferent, indifferently took the teacup, blew leisurely, slowly tasted my tea, let him stare at him, and let them go.
"It's good to copy the scriptures and anything, you can calm down, and my mind has really been dry recently, so it's good to stay honest for a few days. โ
On the other side, the third horse Ji Sui spoke again.
It seems that I have understood my intentions, and I will take it upon myself to let a few horses go to the Hanlin Academy to copy the scriptures in these seven days, so that a few horses can calm down is one of them, and not letting them attract attention is the most important thing.
Some of the absurd behaviors of several concubines, I have often heard about them in the court, but they are all cockfighting lackeys and profligate things, if it were not for the aura of several princesses and princesses, and they did not make any major incidents, they escaped the impeachment of the imperial history supervision officials one after another.
But praying for the blessing of the country this time is extraordinary, and there is no big problem with how to make trouble on weekdays, but if it is still the same during this time, then the problem is not trivial.
If you are caught by someone with a heart, it will be a disaster for the master of the horse, and for the family behind the master of the horse, the slightest carelessness may be a blow to the miรจ.
The seven days that the Empress Dowager was not in the court can be said to be the most treacherous seven days in the court, and no one can predict what will happen.
As the so-called precautions, let a few concubines go to the Hanlin Courtyard to stay quietly for a few days, but also to protect them, but also to protect several princesses.
And these are all things that I have discussed with the princess in advance. But if the princess entrusts me, how can I not do my best?
The third horse Ji Sui can see through the true meaning of this, and he also knows that this matter is very important, so it can be seen that he is not a foolish person!
I smiled, took the tea as wine, and toasted the three horses with a glass, he was also a polite person, and also gave me a cup, and then the two of them bowed their heads, pressed the table, and tasted tea separately, tacitly.
When the second concubine Ma Muyan heard this, he couldn't help but be amazed, and looked at Ji Sui with an expression of seeing a vision, and said:
"Eh, it's strange, I really didn't see it, these words will actually come out of your Ji Sui's mouth, you must know that the most prodigal thing on weekdays is you, I want to see if you are false or really good, let's gamble, if you don't get contaminated with wine and wealth in these seven days, and copy what Lao Shizi's scriptures with peace of mind, then after this period of time, you can do whatever you want, how about it?"
The second concubine Ma Muyan means that if Ji Kang wins this gamble, he will cover the expenses of where to eat, drink and have fun after that, on the contrary, if Ji Sui loses, the expenses will have to be counted on Ji Sui.
Ji Sui laughed a few times, put the teacup aside, and said:
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will use Gonggong to hide the money for wine. โ
Ji Sui still remembered that this old boy didn't have much money and framed him and Liu Ji to drink, but when he drank to the point where the boss came to collect the debt, the old boy urinated and ran away. In the end, Ji Sui and Liu Ji took out their portable jade pendant as collateral, and they were put back by the hotel owner.
Because of this, the second horse was instructed and laughed at by the third horse for a long time.
It's really not that the two horses deliberately relied on the accounts, but when he touched the purse, he realized that he forgot to bring enough money, and then he also put the wine money on the line, for this bit of, he was also ridiculed by the three horses for a while!
With a snap, the two horses slapped the table and said:
"Whoever pays the debt at that time will be his grandson!"
The three horses flicked their sleeves in a dashing manner, and said with a smile:
"Very well, then it is undecided. But it's not fair that I'm ordained, or the big guys, if we survive the seven days peacefully, I think someone will be willing to take the initiative to invite us to drink, do you think I'm right, big colt?"
As he spoke, the three horses lazily lifted their feet onto the seat and lifted Erlang's legs, as if this was their own home.
I couldn't help but laugh miserably, the three horses are going to pull me into the water, obviously in exchange for the horses to stay in the Hanlin Courtyard for seven days, let me bleed and invite them to drink, and I have to spend my own money when they are done?
What's going on? Three horses, you're ruthless!
For the sake of safety, I put up with it!
"Of course, if this is the case, then I will invite you to go to the Drunken Immortal Building to drink together, how about it?"
"Yo, didn't you come out of the west today? It's still strange, the big horse is going to drink, the brothers said, isn't it?"
The second colt was making a fuss again at this time, and the whole person was suddenly happy, looking at his appearance, that is, agreeing to this matter and deciding so happily.
I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, but when the time comes, I'm really going to drink, not to mention how much these guys drink, I have to find the princess for this drink, when I think of this, I can't help but be one head or two.
Liu Ji, the four-horse who had been buried in the bookshelf, suddenly poked his head out, holding a book in his hand, and then asked:
"Big pony, what are the words in this book, why I don't know it, and it doesn't know me."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, and I couldn't help but feel that this four-horse horse is really cute!
"That should be Sanskrit, Buddhism was not originally the Central Plains, it is said to be introduced from Tianzhu, and Tianzhu people use Sanskrit as the communication text, some Buddhist classics are written in Sanskrit, it can be said that there are only a handful of people in the Central Plains who know Sanskrit, and the abbot of Yong'an Temple is one of them, half of the scriptures of this library pavilion are translated by him!"
"I see. โ
Listening to my explanation, the four horses suddenly felt admiration, and carefully put the scriptures back in their place.
"In my opinion, aren't all those scriptures the same, what's there to see, look at that kid and look so carefully, can he find any other name in it?"
The second concubine Ma Muyan had a boring expression on his face, and was about to pick up the teacup to drink water, but found that the tea had already been drunk by him, and looked out of the door, but he didn't find anyone waiting to serve the tea.
Mu Yan stood up and walked outside, wanting to see who was outside and asked someone to refill the cup of tea.
Mu Yan drove away with his front feet, and the voice of Liu Ji, the four horses, came, and after an exclamation, he seemed to have found something interesting.
"Come and see, big colt, what are the drawings on this scroll, it's very strange!"
I couldn't help but glance curiously in the direction of Liu Ji a few times, and turned around to look at the third horse Ji Sui, this kid didn't know when, he actually fell asleep with Erlang's legs crossed on the chair?
Can you sleep like this?
Alas, I couldn't help but shake my head with emotion, these horses are really strange people, the second horse can drink hot tea, and the third horse sleeps upside down like a sleeping Arhat, I just don't know if the four horses also have any strange skills......
I wanted to go with the three ponies to see it, but now I have to go by myself.
As soon as he walked up to Liu Ji's side, he couldn't wait to hand over a strange scroll that he had accidentally found to me.
The moment I touched this scroll, my hand was like touching the white jade, which made me almost think that I had touched the soft skin of the woman, and my heart trembled unconsciously, and I was so frightened that I almost took off the scroll.
What kind of fur is the cover of this scroll made of, it has such an amazing touch, so that I unconsciously look at it a few more times, except for the abnormal touch, there is nothing unusual about the others.
Maybe I'm scaring myself!
I comforted myself in this way, and tried to keep my attention on the contents of the scroll, which was slowly unfolding in my hand, and I felt a little dizzy with pictures and strange handwriting.
The content on this looks very messy, it seems that there are twenty-eight constellations, as well as the guardian beasts of the four directions, the eight trigrams and the nine palace formations are arranged, and there are can't help but mix Chinese characters, as well as Sanskrit and some other weird text symbols, I have read a lot of books, but this kind of weird and strange scroll, but this is the first time I have seen it.
After looking at it for a long time, I also felt like falling clouds, like a book from heaven, and I really couldn't do it.
What kind of book is this, and why is this book in Yong'an Temple?
With these questions, I thoughtfully stretched out my hand to caress the scroll on the top, maybe this scroll is also some years old, some places are worn and blurred, and there are patches and cracks in other places, accidentally touching the top, there is actually a sharp object instantly hurt my fingers, and the blood dripped into the scroll so untouchably, except for a drop of blood, the blood droplets disappeared in an instant......
"Oh no, stain this scroll!"
I couldn't help but scream that it was not good, this scroll was so tightly hidden, it was very important to think about it, and now that my blood stained this scroll, I was afraid that I would be scolded by the abbot.
Hurriedly returned the scroll to Liu Ji, the blood on his fingers was still there, and there seemed to be a little pinprick pain spreading, and when I saw the blood, I began to faint, and I tried to recover myself, although the problem of being afraid of blood was better than before, but I still couldn't completely overcome it!
Liu Ji saw that my face was a little pale and uncomfortable, so he hurriedly rolled the scroll again, then put it back in its place, helped me back to the chair to sit, and handed me the hot tea.
"The big horse's injury, is it okay?"
I took a sip of tea and regained some energy, and the blood on my fingers began to coagulate.
With a smile, he thanked the four horses for their concern, and said:
"It's not a big deal, I'm sorry to say that I'm a little afraid of blood, and when I see blood, it looks like this, just rest for a while, and let the four horses smile." โ
"I see, it's good that the big colt is safe. A person who is afraid of blood is always afraid of life, and he is the expression of the benevolent. This also shows that the big horse is kind-hearted, and Liu Ji will never dare to laugh at the big horse!"
Liu Ji said it very seriously, it didn't seem like prevarication at all, which made me a little embarrassed.
"If you don't say I'm useless, I'll be happy!"
In the end, I can only say this sentence with a wry smile.
"How could it be, the big horse is a person that Liu Ji respects in his heart!"
Liu Ji generously expressed his admiration, which made me a little embarrassed, and I didn't know what I had done to make him admire him so much.
"It's ......"
Seeing that I looked a little embarrassed, Liu Ji immediately said with a smile:
"In the library of Guozijian, there are most of the proofnotes written by a person named 'Zichen', and Liu Ji has benefited a lot and is very grateful to this person. โ
It dawned on me that this was the case.
Immediately, Liu Ji clasped his fists and saluted me to show the respect of those who read.
I smiled back and said:
"If this brother Zichen knew that the proofnotes he wrote could be useful, he would be very happy in his heart. โ
After saying that, the two of us looked at each other and smiled.
It's been almost an hour of delay here, and presumably the lecture on the Queen Mother's side is almost over. And after the two horses went out, they actually came back for Zeng, and they didn't know where they went.
I saw that I couldn't sit still here, so I also wanted to go out for a walk, by the way to see how the scenery of this Yong'an Temple was, I wanted to invite Liu Jiyi to go quickly, he said that he wanted to read the book again, and stayed here by the way to wait for the will, so that he could notify me in time, I think it is also the reason, so I went out of this scripture pavilion by myself, and walked outside.
Really to go around alone, only to find that this Yong'an Temple is worthy of a hundred years of ancient temple, not to mention the majestic building, the garden is also extraordinarily elegant and quiet, I am afraid that the will can not respond in time, and do not dare to go far, just came to a towering tree, look at the green grass that is slightly yellow, I feel that this is an excellent place to nap.
When I reached the bottom of the big tree, lying in the thick and comfortable grass, I stretched out my hand as if to grasp the dense branches in front of me, and then I realized that this big tree, which is still lush and green, is actually a Bodhi tree!
It seems to have been said in the Buddhist scriptures that Shakyamuni Buddha had an epiphany under the Bodhi tree.
I sighed slightly, facing the warm breeze, maybe I was tired from being busy all day, or maybe the blood sickness just now made me feel a little tired, lying flat in such a comfortable and stable place, opening my eyes and closing my eyes, unconsciously, I actually fell asleep peacefully......
I don't know how long it took, but a gentle voice sounded in my ears, but I was so sleepy that I tried to open my eyes to see who it was, but I couldn't open them anyway.
The man gently caressed my face, and gently held me in her arms, her voice gentle but not spoiled, and she smiled faintly, and said:
"You, you're hiding here to be lazy, but it's easy to find!"
I just listened quietly, and I couldn't help but smile with happiness on the corner of my mouth......
