Chapter 35: Rejoice
The day before the Midyear Festival, the emperor, the queen mother, the queen and other people went to Daming Temple. Because it is a solemn thing to ask the master to do things to transcend the soul of the world, the emperor did not bring too many concubines this time. Only Concubine Shu and Concubine Yan proudly accompanied them, while Liu Ruyue was named by the Queen Mother herself.
The carriage stepped forward, and Liu Ruyue was allowed to drive a sedan chair alone this time, and Lu Yin and the small table also supported Liu Ruyue's blessing to follow the carriage.
Daming Temple is majestic and magnificent, looking from afar like the fairy palace in the sky, rows of buildings and main halls are arranged in an orderly manner. The emperor who came and the people who accompanied him were arranged in the temple deep behind the mountain.
The temple in the depths of the back mountain is dedicated to the royal people to pray for blessings, and the temple in front of the mountain is for the people in the capital to pray for blessings. A long stream lines a path separating the front and back.
"Amitabha, the donor is invited."
"Master Ming Chan." Qian Yimo made a symbolic salute: "I'll trouble you again this year." ”
"Good and good, the monks work hard. It's just that in the temple, after all, it is the land of Buddhism, and I hope that the donor can cultivate for a few days. ”
"I know, thank you for the reminder, I don't know if the required items can be prepared."
"It's all ready, just wait for tomorrow's mid-year festival to be auspicious, and start the practice."
"By the way, this time I also brought a concubine, she is good at worshipping Buddha on weekdays, so she also wants to do her best, and hereby copy the scriptures to surpass the souls of the dead. Arrange more seats for her tomorrow when she does business. ”
The old abbot nodded: "The old man knows. Dear donors, I guess I am also tired today, and the wing room has been prepared. As soon as he cleared, he took the donors to the wing room. ”
I saw a clever little monk quietly walking out behind the old abbot.
"As soon as you clear, you're naughty again."
"Hey, Master."
The little monk saluted the emperor with a smile on his face: "Donors, please." ”
After all, it's a temple, not a palace. The emperor was in the west wing, the queen mother and the queen were assigned to the upper courtyard of the east wing, and Concubine Shu, Concubine Yan and Liu Ruyue were taken to the lower courtyard of the east wing.
High-level entourage minions such as Green Yin and Little Table were also placed in nearby wings.
"Green sound, you can find out where the abbot lives."
The slave maid inquired that the abbot did not stay in the temple in the back mountain at night, and he preached during the day and so on in the temple in front of the mountain, and the road was very far away. And tomorrow it will be another high monk who will surpass the soul of the dead, and he will not necessarily be present. Little lord, inquire about the old monk's dwelling. ”
"Of course there are some things I want to ask."
"Things?"
"Well, maybe the abbot will know if there are any people in this world that I am talking about."
Green Yin covered her mouth in surprise: "Little master! Why are you still thinking about this, you've said it many times, it's impossible to overwhelm the mountains and seas, you just don't give up. ”
"Don't be poor, if you really have, don't you want to learn these skills."
"Little master, if you really don't give up, how about I call the little monk who led the way today, and see that the little monk seems to have an extraordinary relationship with the abbot."
"It's fine."
Liu Ruyue thought for a while, and she took out the bright red cherry from the space. The little monk also came to the room where Liu Ruyue was located as she wished.
"Amitabha, I don't know what the female benefactor is doing with the little monk."
The little monk Mo is about 12 or 13 years old, with a little baby fat on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes are very aura.
"Little Master Yiqing, I don't know if I made a mistake?"
"Good, good, the female benefactor has a really good memory, and she doesn't dare to be the name of the little master."
"That's right, I still have something in my heart, so I want to ask the abbot. I don't know if the little master can help with the word and ask. ”
"This ......" The little monk's little face wrinkled slightly, as if he was very entangled: "I can't hide it, Master, his old man likes to be quiet, and even a little monk doesn't dare to disturb him on weekdays." ”
"Little master, don't be in a hurry to refuse." Liu Ruyue nudged a plate of cherries on the table: "This cherry was given to me by the emperor yesterday, and it is still extremely fresh, so it is better for the little master to taste it." ”
Lu Yin got Liu Ruyue's hint and pursed her lips: "Little master, this cherry slave is a rare superb, the taste is sweet and sour, but it is delicious, and the slave and maid have been greedy for a long time." ”
"You girl, there happens to be a little master here today, you can feast and taste it."
"Hee-hee, slave thank you, little master."
Green Yin ate a cherry without hesitation as he spoke, and made a happy look.
In fact, as soon as the little monk entered the door, he saw the cherries on the table, and he was already curious. Now that I see the appearance of green sound again, the saliva in my cheeks can't help but overflow.
"Amitabha, little monk, thank you for your kindness."
The little monk also tried that one to try the taste, and the cherry entrance was really as sweet and sour as the green voice said, and it was very delicious. He thought it must be the most delicious fruit he had ever eaten in his life, and immediately stuffed another one into his mouth.
"It seems that the little master likes cherries very much."
"Hehe...... the little monk stopped consciously, quite embarrassed: "Actually, it is not particularly difficult to ask the master about things, I don't know what the donor wants to ask." ”
Liu Ruyue smiled: "My question is very simple, I just want to ask the abbot if he has ever seen this kind of person who practices martial arts, who can do the mountains and seas, float on water and so on." ”
As soon as these words came out, the little monk's face suddenly flashed with a strange color.
"This ...... How could there be. ”
"Haha, little master, I said it was impossible, you just don't believe in slaves."
Liu Ruyue rolled her eyes and green sound, and green yin hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor: "Little master, I'll go outside the door to check for you." ”
When the little monk saw the green sound go out, he wanted to stop talking.
"Little master, whether there is or not, I only hope that you will have time to help me ask. You can take all these cherries back if you like, and I have a lot of them. I just hope that when the little master brings it back, he won't be seen by the royal people, after all, this is a reward from the emperor. ”
"Thank you for the donor, don't worry, I will definitely hide it."
A glimmer of light flashed in the little monk's eyes, and he stepped forward to pour the whole plate of cherries into his arms and stuffed them. Then he thanked him and turned away, until he stopped again when he reached the door.
"What's wrong?"
The little monk struggled for a while, and turned around as if he was a little depressed: "Female donor, the monks don't speak." Actually, the people you are talking about exist. The female benefactor is also asked to keep this confidential. ”
"Really! Can you tell me where you've seen someone like that? ”
Liu Ruyue suddenly stepped forward excitedly and pulled the little monk, and the little monk took two steps back.
"I don't know what the donor is looking for such a person, if it's for revenge or something, please ask the little donor to give up."
"No, don't look at me as just the emperor's concubine. In fact, I have always been envious of martial arts for a long time, and I hope to learn a good skill. ”
The little monk was a little surprised when he heard this, and thought about it.
"In this way, tomorrow morning, I will take you up the mountain, and if it is really measured that you have no talent for martial arts, please forget everything you said today."
