Chapter 9: Borrowing a Step to Speak
Although the suburbs of Chang'an have been mountainous since ancient times, but the Temple of Mercy and Grace is in the city after all, the back mountain that Xuanzang said is just a small hill within the scope of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, located in the innermost end of the Temple of Mercy and Grace Directly behind the precept courtyard, directly opposite the front door of the precept institute, quite a bit of prison guards.

Following Xuanzang all the way, the tranquility of the backyard of Ci'en Temple combined with the faint chanting sound from the front hall made the mood of the merchant become calm, and the tiredness of running around for several days seemed to be far away from her at this moment.
Speaking of which, since she left Jiuzhi Mountain, it seems that it has been a long time since it has been so quiet.
The two days that I lived at home were Su Minzhi's marriage with the green sleeves, which was a little noisy, and when I entered the palace, I met Li Zhi's nagging emperor, and I went all the way to the Weiguo Mansion when I left the palace, and today I came to the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
At this time, looking at the green pines and cypresses on this road, listening to the Buddhist music and Sanskrit, I feel so comfortable, I really want to stay for two more days and rest.
"Master Xuanzang, this Temple of Mercy and Grace is really a good place! If I am old in the future, I will definitely find a place to live next to this temple of mercy and grace, so I can listen to this morning bell and evening drum. Shang Shang looked at Master Xuanzang, who was walking in front of the small corner gate of the Discipline Academy, and said half-jokingly.
Xuanzang, who was walking in front, paused, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't speak.
There are some things that are not yet the time to be said, and if you say them now, it will only cause trouble, so it is better not to say them, and let her figure them out by herself, maybe it will be better for her.
"The benefactor is a blessed man, and if he is willing to be a neighbor with the old man, he will not be able to ask for it!"
The merchant followed Xuanzang along the forest path to the hillside full of Bodhi trees, but looked at Xuanzang who didn't look back with a little suspicion.
"The master once told me that I can enjoy a thousand years of luck alone, I don't know what it means?"
"Hehehe! The old man can only say that the secret of heaven must not be leaked, and when the time comes, the donor will understand. Xuanzang chuckled, but did not answer the merchant's question.
"Here we go again!" The merchant pursed his lips stupidly.
I really don't understand why these worldly masters always like to come to this set, what is the meaning of heaven that cannot be leaked? If you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it, and you just make this set to bluff people!
Looking at Xuanzang's slightly clumsy figure, Shang Shang also knew that he wouldn't speak, so he had to shut up and slowly walk up the hill behind him.
Xuanzang led the merchant all the way to the top of the slope, and then stopped in front of the three stone houses side by side. Shang Shang also walked up behind Xuanzang and stood in front of the three stone houses.
"This is it." Xuanzang pointed to the three white stone houses in front of him.
The merchant looked left and right, and the three houses in front of him were covered with bluestone strips, but they were more than one person tall, and the three low doors were open on the south-facing side, and there was a small square hole next to the door at the same height as the frame, and there was no window frame covering the window screen, thinking that this was the only place where the house was connected to the outside world except for the door.
"Where is the debate machine?" Glancing left and right, the three square houses that looked like the prison cells of later generations asked.
"Right in the middle of this room."
Xuanzang took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve, stepped forward and opened the locked door.
"It's really a prison cell." The merchant muttered in a low voice, and when he saw Xuanzang looking over, he was busy talking.
As soon as he walked into this low stone house, the merchant felt a chill blowing in his face. Even though there are doors and windows, the room is still damp and cold because it has been closed for many years.
The sudden dimming of the light made the merchant a little uncomfortable, and it took a while to see what was in front of him.
The sound of the door opening did not disturb the debater sitting facing the wall, he still sat on the small futon, quietly looking at the wall in front of him, as if he had not heard the two of them come in at all.
The merchant looked back at Xuanzang, who was standing outside the door and didn't follow up, sighed lowly, and walked forward to the sitting debate machine.
The back of the white monk's robe, even in such a humble place where only a futon remains, seemed so comfortable, as if it were in an ordinary puja.
The merchant glanced at the bluestone slab floor, slowly sat down in front of the debate machine, and looked deeply at his eyes as still as water.
Looking at the debate machine from the front, I really saw his changes. The man, who had been as clean as the first snow of winter more than a year ago, had melted into a pool of quiet spring water.
At this time, in this simple room, his silence seemed so peaceful, but no one knew if he would turn into a monstrous flood after leaving this room, completely submerging himself!
"Debate machine ......" The businessman's voice was a little hoarse.
"Donor!" Maybe it's because I haven't spoken for a long time, the voice of the debate machine is a little dry, but it sounds warm.
"You ......"
Looking at the smiling eyes of the debater, Shang Shang suddenly felt that all his words had become redundant.
The debate machine in front of him is neither a man caught in lust, nor a fool carried away by love, his calmness and calmness are clearly shown in those dark eyes.
Looking at the merchant's hesitation, the debate machine suddenly smiled, and the ice in his eyes seemed to melt at this moment.
"I've never seen anyone like that!"
The voice of the debater was low, but it was a little ethereal, and his eyes seemed to see farther through the merchant.
"She's like a fire, flying desperately, trying to burn everything in this world, I ...... It's just the one she burned out. ”
After saying this, the debate suddenly smiled again, and looked at the merchant with some sincerity in his eyes.
"The donor's mind, the poor monk understands, as the so-called catastrophe is inevitable, she is the red lotus karma, and the poor monk can only jump."
"Debate!" Shang Shang looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly understood that in fact, he knew everything, but people sometimes couldn't help themselves.
"In fact, there is no room for turning around in this matter, you let me think of a way, these days are in the limelight, you stay here, and those imperial historians will not stare at it like this for a few days." Looking at the debate machine with a calm face, the merchant suddenly felt a little impulsive.
Maybe Gao Yang is domineering, but she is also just a poor woman, born in the royal family, an unhappy marriage is already the whole of this woman's life, all her deviance and arrogance are just her powerless struggle against her own fate, although in the end she may have nothing left!
"Don't bother!" The debater looked at the merchant calmly.
From the first time he saw Gao Yang, he understood his future! He never had anything to chance, and he never had extravagance! He is a monk who made a great wish in front of the Buddha, and he is already destined to miss it in this life, so all that is left is to clench his hands hard, while he can still hold them.
When the day comes when we can no longer hold each other, he will let go! Let her live!
Shang Shang stood up and walked out of the room without looking back.
If she was a little hesitant before seeing the debate machine, she really made up her mind after seeing the debate machine.
She's going to help him! Help this man who has exhausted all that he has to love! Even if his lover is not a woman that everyone praises, his love is real! The same goes for her love!
Xuanzang stood at the door, looking at the businessman who came out with a resolute face, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, maybe this disciple of his was finally saved!
Hurriedly descended the small hill facing the wall of the debate machine, the merchant didn't want to stay too much in the Ci'en Temple, the people who should have been seen had already been seen, and the decision had already been made, so the rest was the follow-up plan, she had to think again.
After a short stay in Xuanzang's meditation room, the merchant left the scripture courtyard and followed the little novice to the front hall.
If we want to find a way to get the debate machine out of this matter, there is still a lot to do, and we can't afford to delay it.
"Get out of the way! You dead donkeys! Get out of the way! ”
"Someone! Drag them all away! ”
Before they approached the front hall, the two of them heard a noisy voice, and a shrill female voice was particularly harsh in the noise.
The little novice stopped, looking at the chaos not far away, and the merchant had to stop behind him, tiptoe, and look ahead.
"You! You! And you! Pull these people away for me! I'd like to see who dares to stop this princess! There is no one I can't see in this public! ”
With this burst of scolding, Shang Shang saw Gao Yang standing behind a group of monks standing in a row with a headache.
At this time, her face was full of anger, and her originally neatly combed bun was a little scattered because of her large movements. The monks just watched her quietly, not moving their feet at all.
The guards standing beside Gao Yang were also a little embarrassed, these monks didn't even stretch out their hands at all, they had also been in Chang'an City for a long time, so they naturally knew the weight of these monks in the hearts of the people in Chang'an City, in front of the people who entered the incense, they didn't dare to take it seriously for a while, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
The shrunk of the guards made the anger in Gao Yang's heart more and more vigorous, the look in his eyes became more and more fierce, and his silver teeth were clenched, eager to tear apart this group of stinky monks who stood in her way.
Seeing that the situation was going to develop in a worse direction, Shang Shang couldn't help but be a little frightened, and hurriedly took two steps forward and said hello to Gao Yang.
"Princess Gaoyang! Don't come unharmed? ”
Gao Yang, who was on the fire, heard someone call her, but when she turned around, she saw a somewhat familiar woman, and after being stunned, she remembered that it was a businessman.
"Is that you? What are you doing here? ”
Although she has always looked down on the identity of a businessman, because of the face of Li Mo, who was not naturalized, she couldn't treat her as if she didn't exist, so she had to say something with a calm face, but she didn't plan to have any relatives with her.
"Can the princess take a step to speak?" The merchant really wanted to smoke her when he saw Gao Yang's style.
At this juncture, she didn't know that Ning Ning was still making trouble here, did she think that the life of the debate machine was too long?
