Chapter 422: To the West

It was just a few words from Xu Pan and his wife, and the Yuan family was pulled back from the catastrophe.

Xu Pan and Yu Xiaoling didn't take it seriously, but when Yu Xiaoling entered the palace that day, she heard about another incident, which surprised her very much.

When the queen mother said that the emperor's mood has fluctuated greatly recently, she also mentioned that it was time for the emperor to go to Tanzhe Temple to talk with Master Qingya, talk about Buddhism, stay in the temple for a few days, and calm down.

However, the emperor felt that it was too troublesome to travel and was reluctant to go out, and Tanzhe Temple was busy with Master Qingtan's affairs, so the Queen Mother's wish was gone.

Yu Xiaoling thought at that time, what could Master Qingtan do? Didn't he use his mana to help himself, but did he provoke a backlash?!

Yu Xiaoling was suspicious of herself, so she listened to the queen mother's side take over the queen mother's words.

"The emperor is trying to let the two mages of Qingya and Qingtan come to the palace another day. When the time comes, the two mages will come to persuade the emperor, and it will be fine. The queen said softly.

The Queen Mother nodded, mumbled, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly sighed: "Master Qingtan is leaving, but I don't know when I will be able to come back."

As soon as the words fell, Yu Xiaoling's heart jumped, she finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Niangniang, where is Master Qingtan going?" ”

The queen mother was a little surprised by her inquiry, but asked her: "I remember that my cousin and Master Qingtan have a Buddhist relationship, and the little son of the family was born on the mountain of Tanzhesi Temple, doesn't my cousin know that Master Qingtan is going west?" Now the mage has asked for the emperor's life, saying that he will follow the example of Master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty and go to the Mughal country to learn scriptures! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaoling's jaw almost dropped in shock.

"That'...... The Mughal country is 108,000 miles, how long will it take for Master Qingtan to come back? ”

When the Queen Mother heard her ask, she also sighed and said, "Master Xuanzang has been gone for 19 years, and Master Qingtan has been gone for more than ten or twenty years." ”

The Queen Mother said, her eyes were a little distant, and she sighed again: "I don't know, I can't wait to get the scriptures......"

Yu Xiaoling didn't care if she waited to get the true scriptures, but the news was too shocking, and when she followed the queen mother, she said a few good words such as the queen mother's blessing and longevity, and then hurriedly asked: "Is the emperor already in charge?" This...... This mage is going to go alone? ”

Her repeated questioning did not cause the two ladies to be dissatisfied with her, but they were too surprised by this matter, and it was not a secret matter in the palace, so it didn't hurt to say a few words to her.

Therefore, the queen mother said: "The emperor has responded." Originally, he said that he would send a team of men and horses to go with Master Qingtan. It's just that Master Qingtan said, being escorted to go, it was not sincere, and the Buddha knew when the time came, and he was afraid that he would be blamed, so he only took Master Fuhe, who had been with him for many years. At the beginning of February, it will be time to leave. ”

"At the beginning of February, so urgent?"

The queen nodded: "Who said it wasn't?" So I'm busy right now......"

Then what the queen mother and the queen said about the gossip in the palace, Yu Xiaoling couldn't listen to it.

As soon as she returned home, she beckoned people to go to Tanzhe Mountain to inquire, Xu Pan came, and told Xu Pan before and after.

"When he decided, when he handed the message to the palace, we don't even know! Could it be that we will only know when we are still waiting for the emperor to see him off?! ”

Yu Xiaoling was not very happy.

Learning from this kind of thing, and handed a message to the palace, this time there is no one who can't come back for one or two decades, all the way is high and long, not to mention that Yu Xiaoling can't rest assured, even Xu Pan was surprised.

"Since I sent someone to ask, I think I will be able to get the news in the evening, don't worry. However, the mage actually agreed with the emperor, so he must not go, why don't you ...... Prepare something for the mage, let's give him another ride, that's good, too." ”

Yu Xiaoling raised his eyes slightly to look at Xu Pan, and saw him nodding at him, although he was worried about Qingtan in his heart, it could be seen that Xu Pan was so concerned about Qingtan's affairs, but he was also slowly relieved.

Xu Pan is right, Qingtan may have to go, instead of being anxious for him, it is better to prepare something for him, it is real.

However, if he is given something to carry on his back, what he has to embark on is also a road with no end in sight.

In the evening, after dinner, the people who immediately went up to the mountain to inquire came back.

"Everything is fine with the Master, and his spirit seems to be as usual, the Master is opening the altar to the disciples in the temple to explain the Dharma, and his subordinates have not spoken to the Master. Master Fu He said that the Master's trip was scheduled for the second day of the second month of February. On the first day of the new year, the emperor received him, and on the morning of the second day of the new year, the master left. ”

"Is it really only the mage and the master of Fuhe?"

The person who went to inquire nodded yes, and added: "The mage's things are not very clean, and the outfit should be very simple." The Venerable Master has been busy teaching the Dharma to the disciples in the temple recently, and I am afraid that he does not have time to receive others. ”

Yu Xiaoling frowned when she heard this, she didn't know what to say, so she waved her hand to let the guard go down.

Since Qingtan is busy, she will delay him to do things, not to mention the little guy who is waiting to be fed at home, although she doesn't need to feed every mouthful of milk herself, but if she can't see her for a while, she will definitely cry.

As a result, there was a delay of several days.

Master Qingtan was going to the west to learn scriptures, and it only took a few days for the news to spread all over the capital. The palace did not hide it, and also made a decree that hundreds of civil and military officials and high-ranking female dependents would go to the palace to watch the ceremony on the first day of February. This Qingtan mage learned the scriptures and saw them off, and he also had to show his royal grace.

Jingli's reputation for Master Qingtan has increased a little more, and everyone says that our Daning Dynasty is also going to produce a god and Buddha like Master Xuanzang.

Yu Xiaoling couldn't listen to these messes, so he sent someone to Tanzhesi Mountain again, and this time the person sent saw Qingtan and talked to Qingtan.

Qingtan said that at the beginning of the second month of February, he set off from Tanzhe Temple, and then went all the way to the southwest.

Although Qingtan didn't say much, Yu Xiaoling wrote down what he said.

On the first day of the second lunar month, she was sandwiched among the relatives of hundreds of officials and women, and saw Qingtan from a distance.

Qingtan was dressed in a green silk and light red robe, and his tall and thin figure picked up this robe more and more unstained, and he walked slowly on the white marble steps, each step was like a dusk drum and morning bell, stepping on Xiao Ling's heart.

The bits and pieces of getting along for more than 30 years passed through his mind, and somehow, in his steady pace, he actually moistened Yu Xiaoling's eyes.

How long will it take to return to this farewell?
