Chapter 654: On the Lotus Stage

Yang Muyun had just taken a few steps away from the gate of Zheng's mansion, when he suddenly felt that his thighs sank, his steps stagnated, and he lowered his head to look, but it was Xiao Zheng Hao who hugged his thighs.

"Little boy, what are you doing here?" Yang Muyun touched his head.

Xiao Zheng Hao stared at a pair of big round eyes and said, "Where did you kidnap my sister?" ”

"Isn't the eldest lady in the mansion?" Yang Muyun was taken aback, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" And Zheng Fuzhong doesn't look like something big has happened? ”

"Are you still pretending to be with me?" Xiao Zheng Hao stared at him for a moment, "No one else knows about this matter except me." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Muyun became more and more puzzled.

"You really don't know?" Xiao Zheng Hao blinked, it turned out that after Zheng Yu and A Luo swapped identities and quietly left, he came to find his sister. The guards outside saw that it was the little boy, so they didn't stop him, and as soon as he entered the house, he found Arlo pretending to be his sister. When Ah Luo saw that it was a little boy, he was so scared that he begged him not to tell him about it, and told him that the young lady was going to find Yang Muyun.

As soon as Xiao Zheng Hao heard that his sister had secretly left the mansion, he also wanted to sneak out to find her, and happened to see Yang Muyun come to the Zheng Mansion to inquire if Ding Yu was here. After he left, he stopped him while he was not looking.

"Well, I didn't see the eldest lady," Yang Muyun told him seriously, "I went to the school with the Governor before dawn, and I was not in the city." ”

"I don't care," Xiao Zheng Hao hugged his thigh and didn't let go, "My sister is looking for you, you must also help me find her." ”

"My little ancestor, where do you want me to find the eldest lady?" Yang Muyun smiled wryly.

"If you don't help me, I'll shout," Xiao Zheng Hao threatened him: "I'll just say that you kidnapped my sister." ”

"Don't, don't ......" Yang Muyun really wanted to cover his mouth, "Aren't you making trouble for me?" ”

"I'm just asking if you say yes?" Xiao Zheng Hao did not let go at all.

"Okay, I promise," Yang Muyun helplessly coaxed him: "You go back, I'll send her back as soon as I find the eldest lady, it's all right?" ”

"Not yet."

This kid's answer almost made Yang Muyun jump, "What else do you want?" ”

"I want to go with you," Xiao Zheng Hao said, "I want to see you find Sister with my own eyes." ”

"How can this work, how can you run around with me as a child?" Yang Muyun shook his head, "Besides, if Mrs. Zheng finds out that you are not in the mansion, wouldn't it be a big deal?" ”

"A-Niang won't find out that I'm not in the house," Xiao Zheng Hao smiled slyly, "Anyway, you have to find my A-sister quickly and send us back before my A-Niang finds out, won't everything be fine?" ”

"But I don't know where she is. Where to start? "Yang Muyunxin said that I have to quickly find Master Ding to go back to my life, you intervened like this and asked me to do such a big thing, where do I have the time? But after thinking about it, Ding Yu was very infatuated with Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu left Zheng Mansion, Ding Yu should have left with him, and if he found Zheng Yu, he might have found Ding Yu.

"So you're not going to say yes?" Xiao Zheng Hao puffed out his cheeks and was about to shout.

Yang Muyun quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it on his lips, and whispered in his ear: "Don't make a noise, I'll take you there." ”

Xiao Zheng Hao nodded.

Yang Muyun let go of his hand, looked at him and said, "But you must listen to me, and you must not make your own decisions." ”

"Why?" Xiao Zheng Hao was a little unconvinced, "Don't forget, you are still my father's subordinate!" ”

Yang Muyun didn't want to talk to him, "If you don't agree, we'll break up," and added, "Have you forgotten the basket you poked in the market in Zhiling County before?" What a hassle for me and your sister. ”

"Okay then," seeing his resolute attitude, Xiao Zheng Hao had no choice but to say: "I'll just listen to you." ”

————————————

"Stop! What for? The general on duty in front of the Dadu Governor's Mansion saw a young girl in green clothes walking here, and held the handle of the knife with a vigilant face.

"I'm here to find someone," Zheng Yuyan smiled, "May I ask if Yang Muyun, the commander of the Divine Martial Guard, is here?" ”

Seeing her smile like a flower, extremely beautiful, the general on duty couldn't help but be stunned, "Yang Tong, he went out with the Governor before dawn." ”

"Where did you go?"

"I've gone to the school field in Jiangbei," said the officer on duty, "The girl asked him what he was doing?" ”

"He's my man," Zheng Yu smiled generously, "I heard that he was promoted, so I came over to take a look." "I owe it slightly," thank you for informing me. He turned and floated away.

"Hmm, it smells good." The general on duty greedily sniffed the fragrance emanating from Zheng Yu's body, and his eyes lit up, "Yang is really a blessing, not only has he been promoted, but he also has such a beautiful family, which is really envious." ”

......

The temple in the southwest of Tokyo was built during the Li Dynasty in Annam, during the reign of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty in China. Legend has it that Li Dezheng, Taizong of the Li Dynasty, was very old and had no heirs, so he was deeply worried. One evening, he dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva, sitting on a lotus leaf, was holding a baby in his hand, standing on a lotus platform in the pool and nodding to himself. He didn't know what he meant, so he told the ministers about the dream and asked the ministers to help him interpret the dream. The ministers didn't know why, only Si Tianjian Shaoqing Cao Zhe said that this was a good omen, and there was a successor to the Li Dynasty. Soon after, Li Dezheng went out of the palace to inspect, found a lotus girl in a lotus pond, and the dream of Guanyin Bodhisattva looks very similar, deeply thought different, then brought this lotus girl into the palace, married as a wife, she later gave birth to a boy for Li Dezheng, and it turned out to be exactly the same as the baby boy in the dream, Li Dezheng thanked Guanyin Bodhisattva for his kindness, so he ordered to meet the lotus girl in the lotus pond to imitate the water lotus flower to build a lotus platform, with the lotus platform as the center gradually became a temple, called Yanyou Temple. Serve Avalokiteshvara for generations.

This lotus platform is very special, on a huge wooden pillar in the lotus pond is a Buddha hall of flying eaves and tiles, the horizontal plaque on the Buddha hall is handwritten with three big characters "lotus platform", which is said to be the handwriting of Li Dezheng. The huge wooden pillars symbolize the flower stalks, and the temple body and the four sides of the slightly warped eaves form the petals, which are really like lotus flowers coming out of the water, and stand on top of the lotus pond, connected to the land by a stone bridge. The deity enshrined inside is the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, who holds a baby in his hand. This temple has been around for 400 years since the Li Dynasty, and has always been full of incense, and many people of Annam have come here to pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless their descendants.

On this day, a woman wearing a hat led an eight- or nine-year-old child up the stone steps to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a baby in the lotus platform, folded her hands, and bowed down on the futon.

After a few bows, an old monk in a silk robe stepped forward and smiled at the woman, "Niangniang, please get up!" After a pause, he said to the child, "Your Highness, please get up!" ”

"Master Abbot—" The woman and the boy bowed eleven times to the old monk.

"Niangniang and Your Highness, please come with the old man." The old monk led the woman and the child out of the hall.

This woman is Wu Yuyao, and the boy is her son Li Sicheng. The old monk is the abbot of Yanyou Temple, Master Dajue, and he received a message from the palace that a noble person came to the temple to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he refused other pilgrims early.

The three of them came to a pavilion by the pool.

Master Dajue said: "Niangniang and Your Highness, please sit here for a while, and then invite you to come and rest after the wing room is cleaned." ”

"Master Lao bothered." Wu Shi Yuyao sat down and said.

When even if a little novice offered fragrant tea, Master Dajue instructed the little novice, "Pure enlightenment, you accompany His Highness to go outside." ”

"Yes, Master!" Kosand bridges the ten ways.

Wu Shiyu Yao touched her son's head lovingly, "Go ahead, go and look around with the little master, this place is much more casual than in the palace." ”

"Yes, A-Niang!" After Li Sicheng finished speaking, he and Jingwu walked out of the pavilion.

When they walked away, Wu Shi Yu Yao Fang withdrew his gaze.

"Niangniang," Master Dajue said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but Your Highness has grown up a lot." ”

Wu's Yuyao sighed lightly, "When I went to the temple to worship Guanyin Niangniang, I had a child like Ah Cheng, as long as I have the opportunity to leave the palace, I will definitely come here to make a vow." ”

"Listening to the mother's tone, it seems that there is something else hidden." Master Dajue's two long white eyebrows moved slightly.

"The master's eyes are like torches, and the disciples don't dare to hide it," Wu's Yuyao raised his eyes slightly, "The Bodhisattva let Ah Cheng come to the world, and I also hope that the Bodhisattva will bless Ah Cheng to live in peace." ”

"Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is merciful and compassionate, and purifies all sentient beings," said Venerable Dajue, "and will bless His Highness as Niangniang wishes." ”

Outside, Li Sicheng and Jingwu were playing and chasing each other by the lotus pond, and they had a lot of fun.

"Master," Wu Shi Yuyao looked at the old monk, "sometimes I really wish that Ah Cheng could stay and study Buddhism with you with Jingwu." ”

"If His Highness and the old man have this fate, the old man will definitely teach him carefully," Master Dajue smiled faintly, "But His Royal Highness is noble, and it will not be easy for him to give up his life." ”

"What the master said is," Wu Yuyao's eyes flashed slightly, with a look of melancholy, "Ah Cheng, as the son of the king, can't decide his own fate. ”

"Whether rich or poor, this is all fate," Master Dajue said: "Niang Niang and His Royal Highness should deal with it calmly, and if they don't compete with others, they will have a lot less troubles." ”

"Ah Cheng and I don't want to fight for anything?" Wu's Yuyao's face became a little excited, "But others don't think so, thinking that our mother and son are in their way, and it's not the one who is looking for Ah Cheng everywhere." ”

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop," Master Dajue said indifferently: "Niangniang and His Royal Highness are on the cusp of the storm, how can they face it like ordinary people?" ”

"Ask the master to teach me," Wu Shiyuyao looked sincere, "My mother and son have nothing else to ask for, but hope to spend the rest of their lives in peace." ”

"Amitabha," Master Dajue proclaimed the Buddha's name, "If Niangniang really thinks so, she should take Her Highness away from the land of right and wrong, so that her wish will not be fulfilled?" ”

"Master......" Wu Yuyao smiled bitterly, "Since Li Yimin was deposed, the king has not established a son, which makes the queen sit on pins and needles, so she regards my mother and son as a thorn in the side, a few days ago because of a trivial matter, the third highness pushed Ah Cheng into the water, if someone hadn't come to the rescue, Ah Cheng he ...... choked up for a while, and sobbed softly.

"Don't be sad," Master Dajue advised: "Mortals have their own creations, and Your Highness can't escape this catastrophe if she is destined to suffer, but Niangniang and His Highness are deeply blessed, and they will be able to turn danger into a disaster." ”

"Master," Wu Shi Yuyao stared at him with a pair of teary eyes, "I want to stay with Ah Cheng here for a few more days, I hope the master will be fulfilled." ”

"My Buddha is compassionate," Master Dajue said, "If Niangniang and His Royal Highness don't think it's simple here, it's okay to stay a few more days, it's just ......."

"Just what?"
