Text: Chapter 87: Mingpu Meets
Mingpu Temple is located in Jin'an Fang, Yongchang City, occupies a small half of the place, a total of 13 courtyards, 1,999 houses. The temple was built at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zheng Dynasty, Zheng Gaozu ordered the construction of the Mingpu Temple in order to thank the Buddhists for helping him seize the world, taking the meaning of "Mingde in the world, purifying all living beings". Ten years of the temple into the temple, "the heavy building of the palace, the cloud pavilion meditation room, the mattress utensils, are full of preparations", the monk 800 people, please the great virtue of the monk Xuankong Master as the abbot, Mingpu Temple has always been the most magnificent temple in the imperial capital, Emperor Zheng regarded it as the royal Zen temple in the past dynasties.
After Jiang Anyi went to Yongchang City, he visited Mingpu Temple once, and he sent Anlong tea to Master Guangming for Master Hongxin, but the monks in the temple said that Master Guangming was in retreat, and it was inconvenient to see him. Jiang Anyi has visited the temple and knows the location of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Just after noon, Jiang Anyi was waiting around the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
This time I came to see Xin Fei, Jiang Anyi was alone, Fan Shiben had already left to return home, Zhang Zhicheng stayed in Yufu every day when he was free, Yu Shi had endless words with him every day, it seems that Brother Zhang is more involved in Yu Shi than himself.
The flow of people in the Mingpu Temple is like weaving, and there are people burning incense and praying in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. About the time of Shen, there was still an hour, Jiang Anyi was bored to watch the gray-clothed monk beside him wipe the dust on the door of the main hall, the temple incense is very rich, and there are many incense ashes, if you don't sweep it, it won't take long to accumulate dust.
The old monk's eyebrows are white, he looks like he is at least sixty years old, wearing a gray-black monk's robe, Jiang Anyi doesn't know the rules of the temple, but he knows that the court often gives high monks purple clothes and scarlet robes, and the monks with duties wear red robes or jade-colored robes, this kind of ordinary gray and black monk's robes should be ordinary monks.
"How old is the Master?" Jiang Anyi was speechless.
The old monk put down the rag in his hand, saluted, and replied: "The old monk has spent seventy-three springs and autumns. ”
Jiang Anyi was taken aback, he really didn't expect the monk in front of him to be so old, and asked in surprise: "Does the master still have to work at such an old age?" ”
"Labor is practice, and if you don't work for a day, how can you get food?" The old monk picked up the rag and wiped the dust from the doors and windows again. Jiang Anyi was a little sneering, and he didn't know whether to leave or stay. Seeing that there was still a rag in the bucket, he simply took it and helped the old monk to wipe the dust.
Strange to say, the originally anxious mood became calmer, and the noise around him was no longer noisy, Jiang Anyi was immersed in wiping with peace of mind.
The two of them worked, and after a while, the outside of the hall was wiped again, and the old monk put down the rag, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat beads on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the donor, the donor has a wisdom root, and you need to wipe it as often as today, so as not to contaminate the dust." ”
The words were sharp, Jiang Anyi was about to ask, and Siyu's voice came from his ears, "Jiang Gongzi, Jiang Gongzi." ”
Jiang Anyi flashed his eyes and saw Xin Fei's face covered in a thin veil, and he and Siyu were standing at the foot of the steps of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. At this moment, in Jiang Anyi's eyes, there was only Xin Fei, three steps and two steps down the steps, took Xin Fei's hand, and said softly: "I finally saw you." ”
Goodbye Ailang, Xin Fei didn't care about shyness, held Jiang Anyi's hand with her backhand, looked at Jiang Anyi's eyes with affection, and said coquettishly: "I also miss Jiang Lang all the time." ”
"Sour, sour", Siyu on the side fanned his nose with his hand and said, "Young Master Jiang, for the sake of you and my senior sister, I have contributed the ruby, and you will have to return one to me in the future." ”
was interrupted by Siyu, and the excitement of the two calmed down a little. Xin Fei let go of Jiang Anyi's hand and whispered, "Jiang Lang, there are many people here, let's find a secluded place to talk." ”
On the east side of the Mahavira Hall is the Garan Hall, and from the hall came several gorgeously dressed women, one of whom was Li'er. Learned from Xiang'er that Jiang Anyi would meet Xinfei here, Li'er immediately made up her mind, she and Xinfei were both from the Caidie Sect, and they trained together when they were young, and later Xinfei was very talented and important in the door, so she focused on training early, and Li'er had poor qualifications and was sent to the Qinglou to become a secret guard.
The same person is not the same life, Xin Fei has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, becoming the Longwei Zhenfu, it is said that the recent skills have been greatly improved, and the master intends to cultivate it into a saint. Li'er confuses all beings in the Manchun Building, and also explores a lot of valuable information for Long Wei, but now she is just a deputy town guard, and she is still a few steps away from Xinfei.
Li'er has a dream to become a saint in the door. The sovereignty of the Caidie Gate is monstrous, and the Holy Maiden is not only the heir of the door master, but also can practice the highest mental method of the Maiden Heart Sutra and become a top master. The candidate for the saint is not alone, survival of the fittest is the style of Caidiemen, and Xinfei is the roadblock standing in front of Li'er.
"Isn't that Senior Sister Xinfei?" Li'er's voice attracted the attention of everyone around her. Next to Li'er was her uncle Chu Keqing. Chu Keqing glanced at his nephew with deep meaning, no wonder this girl pleaded with herself to come to Mingpu Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, it turned out that she wanted to make herself a head bird. However, Chu Keqing has always been at odds with Du Yiyi, and if he can deal with her apprentice, Chu Keqing will naturally not let it go.
With a cold snort, Chu Keqing led people towards Xin Fei. Xin Fei also found Chu Keqing, Li'er and the others, and her heart tightened, suggesting that Jiang Anyi flashed to the side first. Siyu's face turned pale, remembering that Xiang'er was watching when Jiang Anyi wrote the letter, could it be that she missed the news, Uncle Chu has always been at odds with the master, I'm afraid he will deliberately make things difficult, what can I do?
When it came to the end, Xin Fei had no fear, and said flutteringly: "I've seen Uncle Chu." ”
"You are so bold, you dare to violate the ban and meet your lover privately, what kind of crime should you be guilty of."
Xin Fei said unhurriedly: "Uncle Shi said this, I came to Mingpu Temple to enter the incense because the master agreed, as for the private meeting with the lover, I don't know where to start." This Jiang Gongzi is my old acquaintance when I was in Renzhou, and I walked with him all the way to Beijing this time, and I am considered an old man, and I happened to meet in the temple, so I can't talk a few words? ”
Siyu admired it so much that she threw herself to the ground, seeing how much her senior sister could say, Uncle Chu was speechless. Li'er smiled on the side: "Senior sister, did you know it by chance, Jiang Gongzi, the letter you wrote in Yichen Ju that day was seen by someone." ”
It was not easy for Jiang Anyi and Xin Fei to meet each other, but they were still disturbed, and they were angry and had nowhere to vent. Seeing that Li'er's speech was neither yin nor yang, Jiang Anyi said coldly: "What's the matter with the girl, the girl is not picking up guests in Manchun Courtyard, but she is in charge of Jiang's private affairs." ”
Li'er was blushing and so ashamed that she had nothing to say. Chu Keqing saw that his nephew was humiliated, and said angrily: "Bold and fanatical, foul language, I have to punish you today." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and raised his palm to slap it towards Jiang Anyi. Chu Keqing thought that Jiang Anyi was just a weak scholar, and he only used thirty percent of his strength in his hand, thinking of spitting out Jiang Anyi's blood with one palm. Li'er knew that Jiang Anyi was the champion of Xinke, although Long Wei was powerful, it was not a trivial matter to hurt the champion for no reason, and Chu Keqing had to eat and fall when he was investigated, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, don't." ”
Jiang Anyi was furious, why was it so difficult for him and Xin Fei to meet, and people kept jumping out to interrupt, seeing the woman reaching out and hitting her, Jiang Anyi couldn't stop sneering, and was ready to give her a hard time. Xin Fei knew Jiang Anyi's skills, and when she saw Jiang Anyi sneering, she hurriedly shouted, "Anyi, no." ”
Seeing the anxious look on Xin Fei's face, Jiang Anyi had no choice but to dissipate his internal strength and dodge to avoid it. Chu Keqing slapped his palm into the air, heard two more "no", was slightly stunned, stopped his hand and sneered: "It turned out to be a family member." ”
Li'er stepped forward and whispered a few words in Chu Keqing's ear. Chu Keqing looked at Jiang Anyi and smiled coldly: "It turned out to be the champion of Jinke, no wonder he is so spirited." That's it, I don't care about you, Xinfei, you go back to the village with me. ”
Xin Fei glanced at Jiang Anyi apologetically, lowered her head and answered "yes". Li'er stepped forward and pretended to be affectionate to hold Xin Fei's hand, and said, "Senior sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and my little sister wants you to die." ”
Jiang Anyi was anxious, and he said a word to Xin Fei, I don't know how long it will take to meet, who is willing to be willing, stepped forward to stop Xin Fei and said: "Miss Xin Fei, Jiang still has something to say to you, can you stay for a while." ”
Xin Fei was willing to do so in her heart, but the rules of the master were strict, so it was inconvenient to say more at this moment, so she had to say: "Gongzi Jiang, meet again if you have a fate." Looking at Chu Keqing, he gestured with his eyes, which meant that the elders were here, and it was not good to stay longer.
Jiang Anyi misunderstood, thinking that Xin Fei signaled that he could not get rid of the coercion. Jiang Anyi turned to Chu Keqing and said, "This aunt, please wait a while, Miss Xinfei and I still have a few words to say." ”
Auntie, Chu Keqing's nose was almost crooked by Jiang An's righteous anger, although she is nearly forty years old, she has achieved success in cultivating the Caidie Gate Maiden, and it looks like she has just passed the flower letter. Chu Keqing cared very much about his appearance, roared angrily, no longer cared about Jiang Anyi's identity, and was ruthless.
As if she was afraid of being affected, she pulled Xinfei back, Xinfei knew her plan, sighed secretly, and did not struggle.
With a "snap", the wind overflowed, and to the surprise of Li'er, Uncle Shi was unstable, and retreated back again and again, and then looked at Jiang Anyi, standing as tall as a pine.
The shy knife was difficult to sheath, Chu Keqing screamed, and poked out two claw scimitars from his sleeves, drawing two bright arcs in the air, cutting at Jiang Anyi's neck. Li'er licked her red lips with her tongue excitedly, as if she saw the next moment of blood splattering, and Xinfei cried bitterly.
Jiang Anyi's heart is yang all the way, although he is blended with the yin and yang of Xinfei Yinnu, he is still excited when he encounters a fight. The scimitar attacked, Jiang Anyi's sleeves were raised, the internal strength was abundant, the sleeves were as solid as iron stone, and the "boom" hit the two scimitars, Chu Keqing only felt that the scimitars were constantly trembling, and his hands could barely hold it, and he wanted to fly out.
Chu Keqing had been in the war for a long time, and his heart was cold, knowing that he had met a master, his toes were on the ground, his body swept up, he did not advance but retreated, pulled out an arc, and went to Jiang Anyi's left side.
Jiang Anyi sneered slightly, and responded to all changes with no change, allowing Chu Keqing to attack like a storm, only waving his sleeves away, and the offensive was immediately broken.
In front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there are many people who fight, and many people immediately gather around to watch, these people don't know whether they want to move forward alive or dead, don't they know that if they are rubbed by the energy, they will definitely be injured. Xin Fei was in a hurry and couldn't do anything, Lian'er couldn't wait for things to get bigger, so she held Xin Fei's hand tightly and didn't let her step forward to stop her.
