Chapter 921: The Twelve Directors Gather (2)
Match his son to his granddaughter? For a while, Chi Shang really felt like he was being taken advantage of.
But if you think about it carefully, it's really a bit reliable, and the six boys of my family's Yuanfu will all marry people in the Daoliu in the future.
If you really marry the daughter of the Tuyumen family, it's really good, at least it's a good match.
And the other party didn't say that the eldest son had to be prosperous, and other sons could do it, so there was more room for maneuver.
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Shang Zhenyi agreed to Ampere Zhiyi's proposal.
"Okay, let them meet when they have time, and then we'll talk about which one looks right."
Hearing Chi Shang's true intentions, An Peizhi immediately showed a smile on his face.
Now the Chi Shang family is a prosperous family in the cultivation world, and being able to marry it is a good thing that others can't ask for.
"I'll see you in a while, I've already brought her here, and now I'm asking Shizuka to take her to play in the outside god community."
Well prepared, it seems to have come prepared.
"Alright, let them see each other in a moment."
The arrival of An Pei Zhiyi sounded the horn of the appearance of important figures, and the head of the He Mao family also arrived in the afternoon, and it was even more coincidental that he also came with his daughter and granddaughter, and the purpose was the same as An Pei Zhiyi, and he also planned to marry the six sons of Chi Shang Zhenyi who had already served Yuanfu.
And it is more 'greedy' than when Ampere gave it to Ichiga Moan, because he actually has three granddaughters.
In the face of this kind of person who tried to eat more and occupy more, An Peizhi immediately quit, and it didn't take long for the two of them to fall into it.
One said that I just had a granddaughter on a blind date, why did you bring three.
One said that my daughter was excellent and gave birth to three, but there was no way.
For the two of them, Chi Shang Zhenyi is quite beautiful in his heart, because no matter what, he will not suffer, his son is his own, his granddaughter is theirs, and no matter how he fights, he will become the woman of Chi Shang's family in the end.
It seems that An Pei Zhiyi and He Maoan are not lively enough, and the next day Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan and Kusakabe Tadamoto also brought their daughters and granddaughters to the scene, and the two of them actually want to marry their granddaughters to Chi Shang Zhenyi's son.
In this way, the already chaotic situation is even more chaotic, and it is really a wolf with more meat and less meat, because the two granddaughters each have two.
In the face of the argument of the four people, Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't have time to pay attention to it, because as the opening time of the exchange meeting approached, important people were also appearing one after another, and some people needed him to greet them in person.
On the morning of the penultimate day, the Venerable Master Ryuzoji, the presiding officer of Honganji, arrived.
For the temple presiding officer Chi Shang, who also belongs to the twelve council seats, he must be respected, although the other party's cultivation is only the fifth grade of the beginner level, but the other party represents the top spot of the entire temple.
It's not blowing it out, it's a fact.
Even hostile schools must recognize Honganji as the number one in the Buddhist realm of Hoshimoto, a status that has been established for thousands of years.
So although Ji Shang Zhenyi is now in a transcendent position, he can't despise the other party.
Sometimes a lot of things can be solved not only by strength, but also by many complex factors. After all, people are not insulators and need to communicate with the outside world.
Face is given to each other, if you give me three points, I will let you give you four points.
Faced with Chi Shang Zhenyi, the number one person in the world of shonpo cultivation, the Venerable Master of Honganji Temple, the presiding officer of Honganji Temple, was quite polite and low-key.
The smile never faded, as if he was the host.
The words of compliments kept flowing along the way, and he almost didn't pull Chi Shang to burn incense.
This cheeky Chi Shang Zhenyi secretly estimated that officials below the level of state and ministerial were definitely not his opponents.
Such an enthusiastic old monk made Chi Shang's heart furious, and his alert level instantly increased by three levels.
In Chi Shang's true heart, he never thought that it was a good thing for a person to compliment himself too much, if such a person really appeared, the other party would definitely have a plan. Otherwise, why should people compliment you with a smile, isn't that an idle egg?
Chi Shang's true instinct was right, and it didn't take long for the old monk of Longzao Temple to show his tail.
This time, no one plans to marry his son, but the other party also plans to pull a relationship.
I plan to send a few young monks to the Chisho Shrine to study, and one of them is even the grandson of the master of the Ryuzoji Temple.
This request is really a bit weird, and the little monk of the temple came to his own Shinto shrine to study, and it was really a shame for the other party to come up with it.
At that moment, Chi Shang was about to open his mouth to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, the old monk of Longzao Temple opened his mouth again, and expressed his willingness to sponsor a trusteeship fee to be used as food for the young monks' further education, one million dollars per person.
Hearing this number, Chi Shang's true intention immediately turned around when it came to his lips.
Although he is not a greedy person, he is a good person who is 'helpful'.
The other party is so old, not to mention such a sincere sponsorship. So this thing can be considered.
In the end, Chi Shang couldn't bear the sincerity of the old monk, and decided to accept three young monks from Honganji Temple to Chi Shang's castle for a month-long retreat.
The old monk of Honganji was not very satisfied with the month-long retreat time set by Chi Shang, but he didn't say anything.
One million dollars for one person is equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan a day.
Although this figure is a little higher, it is not unacceptable for Honganji, who has a big family.
Unlike those small temples that are plain and simple, Honganji has a very deep heritage.
Just sent the old monk of Longzao Temple into the room, and before the two of them could talk, there was another person outside.
It was Mingyue Yuan, one of the twelve council forces.
Meigetsu-in Temple is a small temple in the mountains located in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, RB, and belongs to the Kenchoji school of the Rinzai sect.
It was built by Hojo Tokimune, the eighth regent of the Kamakura shogunate, and was originally part of Zenkoji Temple, and it is the only Zenkoji temple building that was not destroyed during the campaign to abolish Buddhism in the first year of the Meiji era.
The person who came this time was its host Tsuchiya Makoto, and Chi Shang Mazumi and the Tsuchiya host had never met, but out of politeness, he still went to greet each other.
Of course, this greeting scale is a little worse than the old monk of Ryuzoji Temple in Honganji, but it is in front of the castle gate, and there is no more gate.
But even so, the Tsuchiya host still had a smile on his face, and his enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest.
This mouth and face Chi Shang Zhenyi feels very familiar, it is simply a copy of the old monk of Longzao Temple just now.
What surprised him even more was that the other party actually made the same request as the old monk of Longzao Temple, hoping that the little monk in his temple would come to their Chi Shang's house for further study.
Even the money is a million dollars.
The striking similarity not only made him wonder if the two old monks had colluded in advance, otherwise they would be a million.
Although he muttered in his heart, Ji Shang Zhenyi didn't say anything and agreed directly.
Since people stuffed all the money into their pockets, he had no reason to refuse, after all, the American knife was still very strong.
The monks are all rich people, and like the Venerable Master of the Ryuzo Temple, the old monk Tsuchiya also didn't take a million beautiful swords in his eyes, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Chi Shang Zhenyi even wondered in his heart whether he also wanted to open a few temples to circle money!
After arranging a group of people from Mingyueyuan, it didn't take long for the presiding officer of Horyu Temple to come with two little monks.
Horyu-ji Temple is not well-known in Tokyo, but it is very famous in the Nara area. Its history dates back to the early 7th century, during the Sui Dynasty in China.
At that time, the temple was built with a lot of ancient Chinese style, and it is one of the oldest existing Southern Dynasties-style wooden Buddhist buildings in RB.
Other buildings in the temple include the Golden Hall, the Middle Gate, the Cloister and the Five-Storied Pagoda.
Among them, the five-storied pagoda is the landmark building of Horyuji Temple, and the lower the tower is wide and narrow, and the higher it goes, the smaller it becomes, giving people a kind of light and elegant flying momentum. Like a roc bird falling from the sky, its wings have not yet had time to be retracted.
There are still many folk legends about this tower, and it is said that the bottom of the five-storied pagoda suppressed the military spirit of the Warring States period. But no one knows how.
For this member of the formation, Chi Shang sincerely gave the same treatment to the host of Mingyue Garden, and greeted him at the gate of the castle.
After arranging for the host of Horyuji Temple, the presiding officer of Todaiji Temple also arrived in the evening.
The temple was founded in 728 A.D. by the Buddhist Emperor Shomu in the Nara region, and has a history of more than 1,200 years.
Because it was built to the east of the capital Heijokyo, it is called Todai-ji Temple. Also known as the Great Huayan Temple, the Golden Light Four Heavenly Kings Huguo Temple.
After receiving the host of Todaiji Temple, no one came back that day.
Of course, this no one is someone who only needs to be received by Ji Shang Zhenyi in person.
As for those small and medium-sized family forces, there are countless people, at least a few hundred. However, these people are not even qualified to see Chi Shang's true intentions.
After the night, the next morning was the penultimate day before the exchange meeting.
Chi Shang Zhenyi had just eaten breakfast when he heard that Kumaji Yamada had come to report that Ishikawa Jiu, the presiding officer of Tang Zhaoti Temple, had arrived.
Also built in the Nara area, this temple was built in 759 A.D. by the Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen and was completed in 770 A.D.
On the day of completion, Empress Sumoto Xiaolian personally inscribed the temple, imitating Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy inscription 'Tang Zhaoti Temple' plaque.
After the completion of the temple, Master Jianzhen also officially stayed in the temple to spread the Dharma in the Dongying area.
Because it has the empress inscription and the Tang Dynasty monks as the host, the incense is particularly vigorous.
At noon, Naruhito Nagayama, the presiding officer of the Namino Buddhist Temple, arrived.
Compared with the profound heritage of other temples, the temple looks a little thinner.
The station is located in the north of Arashiyama, Kyoto, and is crowded with many large and small temples.
It looks very inconspicuous, and even feels a little small.
But these are all on the surface, and there are many hidden secrets that ordinary people can't see.
Anyway, Chi Shang really didn't believe that an inconspicuous small temple could stand in the position of the twelfth director, and the other party must have its own means.
Otherwise, if it was a weak chicken, it would have been swallowed up by other monasteries a long time ago, and it would not have survived to the present day.
In the afternoon, the last of the twelve councillors, Kazuya Kazama, the presiding officer of Renhua Royal Temple, also arrived.
Compared to the crowded and cramped station of the neighbor Huaye Nenfo Temple, the Renhua Temple is much stronger.
Located in the DS district of Kyoto City, the temple covers an area of nearly two kilometers, which is far from being comparable to the little brother temples around it.
At the same time, the temple itself is also very profound, the temple is said to have been built by Fujiwara for light in the second year of Eyein (988), and the fact is that Taira Kiyomori was established in the west of the Hosumi temple hall by order of Emperor Go-Shirakawa in the second year of Changkuan (1164).
It was burned down in the first year of Kencho (1249) due to war, and was rebuilt in the third year of Bunei (1266).
In the following hundreds of years, although the Lotus King Temple experienced various dangers and waves, the temple survived tenaciously.
At this time, Lotus King Temple has become the only remaining building in the form of a thousand-body Kannondo Hall at the end of the Heian period in RB.
Among them, there are 33 Buddhist halls, and there are thousands of Guanyin statues inside. There are countless people who come to worship and pray for blessings every day, showing a picture of the holy land of Buddhism.
With the arrival of the Lotus King Temple, the twelve councillors were completely gathered.
For so many years, the twelve directors have never gathered so together, and even if there was something in the past, they would contact each other privately, and discuss things in groups of three. Now, because of Ji Shang's true intentions, these people are all gathered together.
When everyone came, Chi Shang Zhenyi was relieved in his heart, he had been running around for the past two days.
One will go upstairs, and the other will go downstairs.
These people can only go down to greet them because of their identity, and no one else can do it, and they are in trouble.
Now it's finally gone.
With the arrival of the old monk, Chi Shang's true intention also completely confirmed his previous thoughts, and these old monks were indeed angry behind their backs.
In addition to a kind smile on his face, he proposed to send someone to Chi Shang's house to practice.
It's all the same word, and it hasn't changed much up and down, and some of the words are exactly the same.
In the face of the private collusion of these old monks, Chi Shang really decided to pit each other a little.
The retreat time of the starting temple will be reduced in turn, and the time of Mingyue Garden will be twenty-nine days; Twenty-eight days at Horyuji Temple; 27 days at Todai-ji Temple; Twenty-six days of Tang Zhaoti Temple; Twenty-five days at the Buddha Temple; Twenty-four days of Lianhua Royal Temple.
Regarding Chi Shang's Zhenyi's decision to deduct one day in turn, the seven old monks all looked 'embarrassed', but they didn't dare to say anything.
Because they all understand what's going on, and they all have ghosts in their hearts.
Moreover, in the face of Chi Shang Zhenyi, the Heavenly Pillar cultivator, they didn't have much to refute, so they could only swallow the cry into their stomachs.
In particular, Kazuya Kazama, the presiding officer of the Lotus Temple, was the most depressed, because their retreat time was actually at the bottom, and it was six days different from the first place Honganji Temple.
Spending the same amount of money will end up with different returns, and the thought of Kazuya Kazama is depressed for a while.
There is no harm without contrast.
Compared to the unlucky guys around him, every old monk will find comfort in others to calm the anger in his heart.
In particular, the Venerable Master of Ryuzoji Temple of Honganji Temple originally had some feelings in his heart that a month was less, but now he has no idea at all.
Compared to a few other unlucky guys, he is now treated very happily.
