What Zhu Chuyu and the others were thinking, Nangong Mo and his wife naturally didn't know. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Because they have already left the city and gone to Ziyun Mountain. It is already late autumn, and Ziyun Mountain is also a little less gorgeous and rich in spring peonies. However, there are also many chrysanthemums blooming in the peony garden at the foot of the mountain. Nowadays, the magnates in Jinling City are busy with their own work, even if the scenery outside the city is picturesque, they have no time to enjoy it. It made the two of them a little cleaner.

The two walked hand in hand to the Great Bright Temple on the mountain, and there were also bad autumn chrysanthemums blooming in the breeze on the side of the road. There is a little less of the wealth of peonies, and a little more of the sophistication and leisure of chrysanthemums, but it is also not funny.

The two couldn't help but think of the situation when they first came to Ziyun Mountain a few years ago, and couldn't help but look sideways at each other and smile.

Today's Daguang Temple is also faintly smoky, not only because the people in the imperial city are busy, but also because there is a monk Nianyuan in the Daguang Temple. Although King Yan did not tell the world that Nian Yuan was Gong Yuchen was the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he still had his own channels to know. Where can you not go to burn incense and worship the Buddha, you must know that there is a Bao'en Temple near Jinling that is as famous as the Great Light Temple. There's no need to let yourself mess with the new emperor for this.

The two of them stood on the last step and saw that the wide square in front of the Great Light Temple was free of people from the past, and the cigarette smoke was filling. Only a few monks were doing the sprinkling and sweeping work. In the main hall of the temple, there is a steady stream of sounds of chanting scriptures, and the Sanskrit sound seems to make people's hearts feel a lot calmer.

In fact, this matter is really a bit wronged in the Great Light Temple. Except for something like that, how could King Yan not investigate the Great Bright Temple. Now that the Great Light Temple has not been copied, it is enough to prove that Nianyuan's matter has nothing to do with them. After all, Gong Yuchen is a literate generation, twice as tall as the abbot master. The reputation of the other monks of the Great Light Temple is far more than that of the other monks of the Great Light Temple, and it was picked up from the infancy by the previous generation of monks. Who would have nothing to doubt such a person? Moreover, Nianyuan lives alone in the back mountain of the Great Bright Temple, and often travels, and the abbot of the Great Bright Temple is afraid that he can't control this young uncle. It's a pity that Gong Yuchen caused so many disasters, waving his sleeves and walking chicly, but he didn't even look back at the Daguang Temple. I don't care what consequences what I do will bring to the teacher who raised me since childhood.

When a monk saw the two of them, he hesitated for a moment before he came over, and said with his hands folded: "The little monk has seen two donors, I don't know if the two donors came to visit our temple or listen to the scriptures?" ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "Oh? But what's the difference? ”

The monk said, "If you are traveling, you can do it yourself." If you listen to the scriptures, I'm afraid you will disappoint the two of you. ”

Nangong Mo was curious, "Doesn't the master of your temple lecture on the scriptures?" ”

The monk shook his head and said, "The abbot of our temple is leading the monks in the temple to spend more time for the deceased, twelve hours a day, seven seven and forty-nine days without interruption. During this period, the temple will not receive lay people to give lectures for the time being. Although the young monk didn't say why the deceased was excessive, he needed to take the whole temple so solemnly, and he didn't need to think about it to know why.

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "The abbot of your temple is merciful, and I am very impressed. Let's just take a look. ”

The monk bowed eleven times again, "So, please two of you." ”

The two of them strolled leisurely through the temple, politely avoiding the Mahavira Hall, which was chanting excessively. The Great Light has a huge area, and there are naturally many things to see in it. Listening to this endless stream of Sanskrit sounds, even people like Nangong Mo who don't believe in ghosts and gods seem to feel as relaxed as if something has been washed again. It's really worth it to come out on this trip, at least it's much better than staying in Jinling and socializing with those people hypocritically.

"Wouldn't it be bad for us to come out like this?" Nangong Mo asked.

Wei Junmo looked at her sideways, "What's wrong?" ”

Nangong Mo shrugged and said: "You let the family eat a closed door soup before, and this time you come again, those powerful families in Jinling City, when you look back, you will definitely spread that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is higher than Dingyunyun." "Just been canonized as a prince, the families in Jinling City must come to give gifts and congratulations, and by the way, see if they should take refuge or stay away. Wei Junmo's actions are tantamount to directly pushing people thousands of miles away, and not even giving people a chance to choose.

"It doesn't matter." Wei Junmo said, "Isn't it flawless that you don't like those entertainments?" ”

Nangong Mo smiled and hugged one of his arms, and laughed in a low voice: "I don't like it, and my mother doesn't like it either." Mother must be talking about you right now. ”

Wei Gongzi didn't care, a faint smile hooked up on his lips, "The people who visit my mother are different from the people who visit you and me." Mothers still need to socialize in the future. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, agreeing with Wei Junmo's point of view. Of course, the people who visit Princess Changping will have some other thoughts, but most of them should simply want to flatter and have a relationship with Princess Changping. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, although Princess Changping was Wei Junmo's adoptive mother in the past, she is now just an aunt. If there is really anything important, I won't want to start with Princess Changping.

sighed lightly and said, "It's still early, I don't want to be entangled with these people for more than ten or decades." ”

"If you don't like it, you don't have to pay attention to it." Wei Junmo said softly.

"Two donors, please stay." While the two were talking, a somewhat hurried footstep came from behind them. When he turned around, he saw a small novice hurrying after him. Nangong Mo smiled: "Little master, but what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Shami was a little out of breath and said, "Return... The two donors, the abbot presided over the invitation of the two to meet. ”

Well?

Nangong Mo looked up at Wei Junmo, and Wei Gongzi also happened to look down at her. The two glanced at each other, and Nangong Mo nodded and said, "In this way, please ask the little master to guide the way." ”

"Yes, the two donors, please come with the little monk."

The two followed the little novice in the temple for a long time before stopping in front of a very clean and remote Buddha hall. Sure enough, I saw an old monk in a robe with a gray beard standing at the door waiting, Nangong Mo had seen it from afar for a year, and it was the abbot of the Great Bright Temple, Master Kongru. When the abbot saw the two of them, he also took two steps forward, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Princess Chu." ”

The little novice who led the way was a little surprised, obviously he didn't know the identities of the two before.

Nangong Mo returned the salute, "Empty as the master is polite, I don't know what the master has to say?" ”

Master Kongru shook his head and said, "Don't dare, it's not that the poor monk has something, but a senior in the temple heard that the two of them came to our temple, and said that he wanted to see the two." The prince and princess of labor, please forgive your sins. ”

Predecessor? Those who can call themselves seniors should at least be senior monks. However, she didn't remember that apart from Nianyuan, they were anxious about anyone else in the Great Light Temple. The empty master didn't sell it, and said softly: "It's Uncle Taishi, Master Ran." ”

Nangong Mo was stunned for a moment, understood? It seems to be Nianyuan's master, right? She thought ......

Seeing Nangong Mo's expression, he knew what she was thinking, and shook his head emptily and said, "Uncle Taishi has traveled all year round, and rarely stays in the temple. Indeed, there are many people who think that he is dead outside, but... A month ago, he returned to the Great Light Temple, and then closed it off, and only came out suddenly yesterday. I heard that the two of you are here today, so I want to meet them. As for what it was......" Kongru shook his head, he didn't know.

For the matter of Nianyuan, it is impossible to say that Master Kongru does not have a little resentment in his heart. After all, he is a high monk, but he has not yet reached the point where the real four are empty. But after all, I still have to think about it, Uncle Tai brought Nianyuan back back then, but I was afraid that he didn't know that he would do such a thing. What's more, no matter what Nian Yuan is, at least their Great Light Temple has not been involved in those things, even if the Great Light Temple has suffered some trauma this time, as long as it takes time, it will always be able to recover and not ruin the reputation and inheritance of the temple for hundreds of years.

"Jun Mo?"

Wei Junmo nodded, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Master Kongru recited the Buddha's name, "Two please." ”

This Buddha hall is very inconspicuous compared to many Buddha halls outside, and after walking in, the inside is also empty, and the arch is actually a statue of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo. Beneath the statue sat an old monk with a snow-white beard and a wrinkled face. The other party looked very old, dressed in plain gray monk's robes, like the most inconspicuous low-level disciple in any temple. It's just that his age, Nangong Mo secretly estimated, at least he should be in his eighties, right?

"Master of Understanding." Master Kongru did not come in with him, Nangong Mo and the others looked at the old monk who was sitting quietly in the hall and chanted with his eyes closed, and stepped forward to salute.

When Master Ran opened his eyes, his eyes were not as old and dim as those of this age, but with a bit of otherworldly wisdom and tranquility. Nangong Mo secretly thought that if he saw this master at the same time when he first saw Nian Yuan, maybe he would immediately feel that Nian Yuan was not a good person. Compared with the quiet temperament of the master in front of him, the temperament of Master Nianyuan, who was known as a Buddhist celebrity who was beyond the red dust, seemed a little false.

Master Zhiran nodded and said, "Let the two of you move here, it's really because the poor monk is old and useless, and the two of you forgive me." ”

"The master is serious." Nangong Mo smiled lightly, "I don't know what the master has to say?" "In any case, there is always a little more respect for the elderly.

Master Ran looked at the two of them and said, "The two... Presumably, there is still a lot of curiosity in my heart about Nianyuan, right? ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Master, did you already know Nianyuan's identity?" ”

Master Ran sighed and shook his head slightly, "It was the poor monk's lack of control that made him what he is now." ”

Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo walked to the side and sat down on the futon under the signal of Master Ran. I only listened to Master Ran's words: "When I picked up Nianyuan, the poor monk's cultivation was shallow, and he was depressed because he missed the position of the abbot of the Great Guangming Temple. happened to meet Nian Yuan, who was abandoned at the gate of the mountain, and his heart rose to teach an apprentice who was far more than his senior brother and nephew. Nianyuan's talent is amazing, and his understanding is even more gratifying. At the age of seven, he can argue with his teachers and nephews who are dozens of years older than him. In the heart of the poor monk... I couldn't help but be very happy. It's just that twenty years ago, the abbot's brother passed away, and many of the senior brothers in the temple went down the mountain to help the righteous army expel the Northern Yuan and failed to come back. Senior brother wanted to entrust the Great Light Temple to me. Seeing the senior brother who was dying and still remembered the Great Guangming Temple, the depression in the hearts of the poor monk for more than ten years suddenly dissipated without a trace. I also have a different understanding of the Dharma. The poor monk had no intention of the position of abbot, so he asked his senior brother to pass on the position of abbot to Kongru from generation to generation. Although Kongru is not as good as Nianyuan, he is devoted to the Buddha, that is, the poor monk was afraid that he may not be able to do better than him when he became the abbot. ”

After saying a lot in one breath, Master Ran paused for a moment and continued: "After Nianru took over as the abbot, the poor monk took Nianyuan to travel around, and there was no fixed place to live. Nianyuan has been smart since he was a child, and he almost never forgets it. But at the age of twelve or thirteen, the poor monk had almost nothing left to teach him. That year, the poor monk traveled through a Buddhist temple in the southwest and found many Buddhist texts and codex of the ancestors in the cave behind the temple. When the poor monk saw that he was happy, he retreated in the cave to study the Dharma, and this stay lasted for several years. By the time the poor monk returned to the Great Light Temple again, Nian Yuan was already a world-famous Buddhist disciple. ”

"Those classics ......" Nangong Mo frowned, where is it so coincidental, others have been guarding a cave for hundreds of years and have not found the classics, but they have been discovered by the traveling master Ran.

Master Ran sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know. Buddhism has such a high disciple, that is, there is no competitive heart, and the poor monks are also very happy. It's just that... After a short time together, I found that what Nian Yuan had learned had gradually deviated from Buddhism and gone to the struggle for power. This originally... It's nothing. Although Daguang Temple is a Buddhist temple, Nianyuan was raised by poor monks. Besides, he has not been ordained, if he really has that kind of mind, it would be like a vulgar one. However, the poor monk found that he often went out and disappeared, and occasionally some unidentified people came to the temple to look for him. Although those people did not appear again after the poor monk mentioned it once, the poor monk has always had some worries in his heart. Afterward... Unexpectedly learned of his relationship with the Water Pavilion, the poor monk once again traveled and inquired about some things. But it made me look up something. ”

"Is it Gong Yuchen's identity?" Nangong Mo asked.

Master Ran nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Nian Yuan he... It's not a Beiyuan person. ”

"What?!" Both of them are already, Master Ran sighed, "Although the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who lives in the Central Plains has Central Plains blood, but... The difference in appearance between the Northern Yuan people and the Central Plains people is not small. Two, does Nian Yuan look like a Beiyuan person? ”

Naturally, no, otherwise, the bright appearance is enough to make people doubt Nianyuan's identity.

Master Ran sighed, "The Han concubine who fled back then was indeed pregnant, and she did give birth to an heir. But... Nianyuan is not the descendant of the Han concubine, but the descendant of the twin sisters of the Han concubine. The real heir of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is only the woman named Gong Xiaodie, the little prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty died early, leaving only one daughter. She and Nianyuan are cousins. ”

"In that case...... Nangong Mo didn't know what to say.

Knowing what she meant, he said, "Nianyuan also knows about this." ”

"Huh?"

Master Zhiran said: "The poor monk thinks that he was influenced by the people of the Water Pavilion and has the hatred of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Since you have found this, you naturally have to tell him and persuade him to put out these thoughts. ”

Nangong Mo sighed, "I'm afraid it's not that easy." "Once an ambition is ignited, it is not easy to extinguish it.

The expression on Master Ran's face became even darker, "What the donor said is very true, he doesn't believe the words of the poor monk. ”

"Where has the master been in the past few years?" Wei Junmo asked.

Master Ran said, "In the Water Pavilion." A month ago, after Nian Yuan returned to the Water Pavilion, he released the poor monk. He said......"

"What did he say?"

He said, whether he is from the Northern Yuan Dynasty or the Central Plains. Since he has lived for so many years as an orphan of the Northern Yuan, then, the throne of the Northern Yuan must be his. ”
