Chapter 672: Wanshou Temple
After driving for more than an hour, the carriage stopped, and Shui Xiu lifted the curtain and said, "Master, Wanshou Temple has arrived." ”
Ling Ruo hummed lightly, taking Shui Xiu's subordinate carriage, Yang Hai had already stepped under the carriage, as soon as he left the carriage with ice cubes, Ling Ruo immediately felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and after a moment, he felt that his body was hot and sweaty, and the sunlight was even more dazzling and made people unable to open their eyes.
Seeing this, Mo Er hurriedly opened the umbrella and propped it on top of Ling Ruo to block the scorching sun that was directly shining down, although he couldn't reduce any heat, but he was finally able to open his eyes.
She complained beside her: "This thief is really hot and unbearable, it's been such a hot day for almost half a month, and he refuses to even drop rain, otherwise it can be cooler." ”
Ling Ruo raised his hand and patted Mo Er's head and reprimanded: "There are gods three feet above your head, don't always be open-mouthed." ”
"The slave knows it's wrong." Mo Er was reprimanded, sticking out his tongue and not daring to speak again.
The abbot of Wanshou Temple, who had already received a notice from the palace, had already led a group of monks to wait outside, and when he saw Ling Ruo appearing at this moment, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted, "Amitabha, the poor monk has brought the monks of this temple to welcome Concubine Xi!" ”
Ling Ruo also clasped his palms together on his chest, and said politely: "The abbot is polite, tired of the abbot waiting with the masters, but it is not from this palace." ”
"It is a great honor for the temple to come in person!" The abbot stretched out his hand after bowing again, "Concubine Xi, please come in." ”
Ling Ruo bowed his head and helped Shui Xiu to walk towards Wanshou Temple, and a group of palace people and guards followed closely behind. Because Ling wants to come to the incense to repay his vows, Wanshou Temple is deliberately closed for a day today, so as not to disturb the idle people.
Ling Ruo first went to the front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Buddha case was already full of various offerings, Ling Ruo pushed away Shui Xiu's hand and knelt down on the Putuan, and said with both hands: "The believer Niu Luhu Ling Ruo was merciful and merciful by the Buddha, and was able to wash away the injustices. ”
After finishing speaking, she got up and took the three-pillar incense lit by the monk and respectfully chased it in the incense burner, and after doing all this, she turned around and said to the abbot standing behind: "The palace once made a wish that it would reshape the golden body for the Buddha, but it is not easy for the palace to get out of the palace, so this matter can only be done by asking the abbot to do it for the palace." Shui Xiu, hand over the silver ticket to the abbot. ”
"Yes." Shui Xiu agreed, took out the silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Chen, "Abbot, here are five thousand taels of silver, please ask the abbot to bother more." ”
The abbot took the silver ticket and saluted again: "Amitabha, the poor monk must do a good job, and on the day the golden body is molded, please also invite the mother and the phoenix to come again." ”
Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said, "If there is a chance, this palace will definitely come." Speaking of which, this is the first time this palace has come to Wanshou Temple, and this palace wants to walk around, and the abbot just has to go about his own business, and he doesn't have to accompany this palace. ”
Since Ling Ruo opened his mouth, the abbot had no reason to allow it, and immediately said: "Yes, the poor monk went down to prepare for vegetarian fasting, and if the mother had something to do, just send someone to call the poor monk." ”
After the abbot left, Ling Ruo said to Liu Hu and the others: "Don't follow suit, the left and right are in this Wanshou Temple, and nothing can happen." ”
After getting rid of everyone, Ling Ruo's eyes flashed, and he turned his head sideways to Shui Xiu and said, "Go and see if Mao Da and his brothers have come in." ”
Shangxiang's wish is just an excuse, Ling Ruo's real purpose is to meet the Mao brothers, naturally since the last time she learned that Liuhezhai was forced to go out of business, and Mao Er was disabled again, she has always remembered it in her heart. So as soon as Yinzhen agreed this time, she asked Shui Xiu to go out of the palace to inform Moyu and asked her to arrange for the Mao brothers to meet her in Wanshou Temple. Mo Yu guessed that when Ling Ruo went, Wanshou Temple would close the temple for a day and refuse pilgrims, and it would never work to pretend to be a pilgrim. So I bought off the dealer who was responsible for delivering vegetarian dishes to Wanshou Temple, and asked the Mao brothers to deliver it on their behalf.
After Shui Xiu left for a while, he led two dark-faced and stout men in, one of whom was limping when he walked, who was not the Mao brothers.
The two of them were both excited when they saw Ling Ruo standing in a hurry, and they quickly stepped forward, both of them choked up and knelt on the ground and said, "The slave asks for Niangniang, Niangniang is auspicious!" ”
Looking at their appearance, Ling Ruo also had a sour nose, raised his hand and said, "It's hot on your knees on the ground, get up quickly." ”
Mao Da shook his head and said: "The minions have betrayed the trust of the master, and the minions are guilty, please punish the master." ”
"What to blame, Ah Yi has told this palace about the whole thing, the fault is not you, on the contrary, you have done your best, hurry up."
No matter what Ling Ruo said, the two of them just refused to get up, and Mao Er said with red eyes: "The master doesn't have to comfort the minions, it's the minions who are useless, and the Liuhe Zhai, which has been in business for more than ten years, was so easily destroyed in the hands of the minions, I am really ashamed of the master, if I didn't want to come to the master to accept the guilt, the minions would have no face to come to see me." ”
"Ridiculous!" Ling Ruo scolded unhappily and said, "What has a face and no courage, it's just a temporary win or loss, if you lose this time, you will win it back next time." Besides, the one in Kunning Palace wants to deal with you, do you think you can fight against her with your own strength? ”
The Mao brothers were stunned for a moment, and after glancing at each other, Mao asked in a loud voice: "Master, are you saying that the reason why those fat powder shops joined forces to suppress the minions was because of the order of the queen's mother?" But why did she do this, let's do our business, and she is not the same as the well water. ”
"That's just what you think. Once she knows that you are still alive, she will inevitably come to kill them all, and it just so happens that something happened in this palace at that time and she can't take care of your side, how can she let go of this great opportunity to take advantage of the situation. It is expected that the collapse of Liuhe Zhai is only the first step, and the second step should be your life. ”
Mao's cheeks twitched slightly, and he remembered that after his brother went to Prince Yi's mansion to live temporarily on the orders of his master, he had gone back to the place where he had lived, and found that there were people watching nearby, so he didn't go in because he was afraid that something would happen. At the time, he wondered who was spying on him, but now he understood.
They thought that after so much time, the previous things were gone, but they didn't want to linger over their heads all the time.
The Mao brothers couldn't be clearer about Nala's methods, if it weren't for the master's tricks, they would have already become dead souls under the knife, and now when they think of that woman, they don't feel frightened.
"Are you scared?" Ling Ruo seemed to see through their thoughts, and opened her mouth to ask, unable to hear what she was thinking in her indifferent tone.
Mao Da smiled bitterly and said: "If you say that you are not afraid, it must be a lie to the master, but what if you are afraid, is it difficult to go and kneel on the ground and beg her to spare the minions, don't say that she will not be willing, even the minions themselves can't afford to lose this person." Although the minions are rough people, they also know that the master treats the minions well, and Liuhezhai has been in business for so many years, and the master has never checked the accounts of the minions, let alone questioned a word; If you betray your master like this, it is simply worse than an animal. ”
