Sure enough, as Liang Cheng expected, the two princes and the six princes of the two parties in the court bitten together, Liang Cheng handed a copy to Emperor Ming Yuan, bluntly said that he was assassinated, but according to His Majesty's ruling, he is now a monk, so it is not good to meddle in it, and then he will return to the Great Xiangguo Temple to "recuperate", as for the preparations for the Buddha's birthday, it is presided over by the abbot Master Juefei and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites.

However, secretly, Liang Cheng sent people to guard the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Yongning Tower Golden Treasure Vase in the dark day and night, but he did not find any suspicious people, Liang Cheng originally did not have much hope, after all, in his previous life, he was strictly supervised everywhere, and everything that the Empress Dowager Zhao would come into contact with had to go through layers of investigation, but in the end, the assassin was allowed to take advantage of the loophole.

Liang Cheng didn't think about directly preventing this Buddha's birthday, but without this time, there will be a next time, not afraid of the thief coming to the door, just afraid of the thief worrying, rather than not being able to control the time of the other party's next move, it is better to pretend not to know and be on guard in the dark.

In the months when Liang Cheng left Beijing, the two little novices sent by the abbot, Chongming and Chongjue, cleaned up here day by day, and were not lazy and slack.

When Liang Cheng came back, he happened to see the two of them sweeping the falling flowers in the courtyard.

He distinguished it and recognized Chongjue, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy Lang, it was the time to grow his body, but he didn't see him in April, and the other party had grown a lot taller.

As for the other little novice, Liang Cheng had not seen it before, after all, the other party was only responsible for cleaning the courtyard, Liang Cheng didn't go out often, and it was normal not to see it, and the reason why he had an impression of Hingjue was because once he came back from Yinian, and happened to see the other party sweeping the snow in front of the courtyard, so he asked a few words, and second, Chongjue was an orphan rescued by Yinian after all, so he couldn't help but pay some attention.

Liang Cheng and Yi Nian stepped into the Guizhen Residence, the two little monks both raised their heads, Chong Jue saw Yi Nian, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but let out a cheer, "Master, you're back!" ”

Yi Nian is now dressed in plain monk's clothes, holding Buddhist beads, his eyes are slightly drooping, and he has a quiet smile on his face.

He nodded slightly at Chong Jue, and Xiao Shami's cheeks flushed with excitement, and at this time, Chong Ming, who had been standing silently on the side, slowly stepped forward and saluted Liang Cheng and Yi Nian: "I have seen the national teacher, I have seen the master of Yi Nian." ”

"Ahh Chong Jue also reacted at this time, and some hurriedly leaned the broom against the trunk of the tree on the side, clasped his hands together, and saluted in a proper manner.

Liang Cheng still remembers the first time he saw this little monk, at that time there was no trace of the vitality that a young man should have, a little withdrawn between his eyebrows, looking taciturn, and now in front of a thought, he showed some vigorous vitality, Liang Cheng couldn't help but show a soft smile when he saw this, raised his hand and said: "No need to be polite, leave the temple for many days, thanks to you for helping me take care of this true home." ”

Chong Ming obviously looked more calm, and always maintained a calm look with his eyebrows down, and said, "Don't dare to be, this is a matter within the disciple's responsibility." ”

Liang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay today, you can go back and rest first." ”

"The disciple retired." The two saluted Liang Cheng and them again, and then exited the courtyard one by one, before leaving, Chong Jue glanced at Yi Nian several times, and saw that Yi Nian had been hanging his head and talking to the national teacher next to him, but he didn't notice himself, and he couldn't help but look lonely.

After closing the courtyard door and walking a few steps away, Chongjue walked more and more slowly, and couldn't help but stop in place and look back at Guizhenjue.

"It seems that the relationship between the master and the national teacher is really good." Chong Jue muttered, "I didn't know ...... so well at first."

"It should have been a chance encounter on the way, and then they traveled together, so they became familiar with it." Chong Ming also looked at Gui Zhenju, as if guessing at random.

Chong Jue's face showed a look of envy and longing, "If only one day I could travel with Master Yi Nian and serve him." ”

"yes." Chong Ming smiled faintly.

Chong Jue sighed lonely, looking nostalgic and unwilling to leave, immersed in his own sadness, and did not notice Chong Ming on his side, there was a trace of struggle between his expressions, the back of the hand holding the long broom was full of green muscles, and the silence seemed to suppress great pain, the fifteen-year-old boy, as if he had exhausted his lifelong restraint, then he took his eyes away from the true residence, turned around and walked towards the outer hall, the voice came lightly, and there was no trace of abnormality.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to clean up the dust, let's go quickly."

"Oh...... Good. Chongjue pursed his lips and followed the last step three times.

Recently, because of the Buddha's birthday festival, the whole temple of Daxiangguo Temple has moved, and small novices like Chongming Chongjue have turned like a spinning top.

The two followed the brothers to wipe the corners and corners of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and then took out the old futon and replaced it with a new mat.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting, the two of them walked to the food liao, Chong Jue walked in front, tired after a day's work, but he didn't look tired, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but turn back to Chong Ming and said: "Wait a minute, I'm going to deliver food to the national teacher, I don't know if the master is still there, it seems that there is a eunuch brought out of the palace by the national teacher before he came, and he came to pick it up every time, but he didn't see him when he came back this time, but it's okay, otherwise this errand wouldn't have fallen on the two of us." ”

Chong Ming didn't have much expression on his face, and said lightly: "Since you admire Master Yinian so much, why don't you apply to Senior Brother Deacon to go to Wuxiangju to take care of affairs." ”

Chong Jue's face collapsed when he heard this, and he said in disappointment: "The monk who lives in the courtyard without living alone is the one pointed out by the master himself......"

"That's it......" Chong Ming frowned in distress, suddenly approached Chong Jue, and said softly: "I see that the master and the national teacher are quite close, why don't you ask the national teacher to leave us to live in the inverted seat room behind the Guizhen residence, and we will cook fasting food, so that we can serve the national teacher nearby, not to mention that after the Buddha's birthday, there will be some small novices in the temple, and our original monk liao will not be able to live." ”

Chong Jue clenched his fist in the palm of his hand, his eyes were shining, and he said, "Yes, Chong Ming, your idea is too good!" And Chong Hui, aren't they just following those elders, we must be able to do the same! ”

"Then let's go!" Chong Jue picked up Chong Ming, quickened his pace, and after receiving the food box of the national teacher, he rushed to Guizhenju.

Before Liang Cheng came back, he had sent someone to greet the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple in advance, but he forgot to say that he had prepared his own meal, in order to avoid being poisoned, Liang Cheng brought a servant who was good at cooking, and there was a small kitchen in Guizhen House, which was just used to prepare his diet, so he was a little surprised when he saw Chong Jue bring him dinner.

"I'm tired of the two of you," Liang Cheng pointed to the steaming food on the table a little helplessly, and said, "Chong Jue Chongming, it seems that you have run away in vain." ”

As soon as Chong Jue came in, he saw Master Yi Nian, and before he had time to show a happy expression on his face, he saw the food on the table, and immediately felt that someone had poured cold water all over his body.

The loss on his face was too obvious, like a puppy wet with water, Liang Cheng saw his eyes looking at Yi Nian expectantly, his heart softened, and said, "Since you have brought it, don't waste it, why don't you two use it together in the ear room next to you." ”

"Thank you, Master Guoshi," Chong Ming, who had been silent, stepped forward at this time and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, after all, this is for adults......"

Liang Cheng interrupted him and said, "I should have rewarded you both." ”

Chong Ming paused, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord last time." ”

Chong Jue reacted, followed the salute, and then secretly glanced at the cold thought in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "My lord, the disciple has something to request!" ”

Liang Cheng was slightly startled, glanced at a thought beside him, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Disciple and Chongming, I am willing to be a monk who guards the courtyard of the Guizhen Residence, please accept the disciple!" Afraid that Liang Cheng would not agree, Chong Jue knelt down and said anxiously: "The disciple is very capable, he can cook and clean, and he has a lot of strength!" ”

Chong Ming on the side also knelt down, hanging his head on the back of his hand.

"This ......" Liang Cheng glanced at Yi Nian, it was obvious that this little novice was coming for you.

A thought memory is very good, almost unforgettable, although when he returned to the temple to see him immortal, he took it back to the temple casually, and then he no longer asked, but the basic impression is still there, as for another Chongming, it is also an orphan in the temple, it just so happens that Liang Cheng is inconvenient to bring too many servants to the Great Xiangguo Temple, and there is indeed a need for one or two people with a clean background, so he said: "Your small kitchen is just short of manpower, and the courtyard gate also needs to be guarded, these two look good, the junior brother might as well agree to come down." ”

In fact, for a little novice like Chongjue, if he can follow some masters with some status, it is indeed a good way out.

Although Liang Cheng didn't know this, he nodded as soon as he thought so, "Then you two can stay, I will tell the deacon." ”

Chong Jue was overjoyed, and bowed to Liang Cheng and Yinian again, and his excitement was overflowing: "Thank you to Master Guoshi, thank you Master Yinian!" ”

In comparison, Chong Ming is much more stable and old, followed Liang Cheng, picked up the food box, and was led out by Liuyun with Chong Jue, and ordered some matters.
