The old man told them that there was a temple outside the city, which was very effective, and the locals would go there every month to worship, and today was the fifteenth, and everyone rushed to worship the Buddha.

When Concubine Xian heard this, she thought that this was a good idea, thinking that going to the temple to burn incense might make Su Zhenzhen's insomnia better, and by the way, she would ask for peace for the emperor's lord.

The emperor thought that a lot of things had happened since the southern tour, and going to the temple to see it could also pray for the blessings of the people of Limin.

Thinking of this, the two rushed back to the inn to tell everyone about their desire to go to the temple, and everyone agreed.

Although Su Zhenzhen didn't believe much in feudal superstitions and other things, she finally failed their hearts, so she agreed to go to the temple with them.

That night, they drove to the temple.

The temple was not far outside the city, and the group finally reached the temple before the sun went down.

As soon as they got off the carriage, they were amazed by the surroundings of the temple, the straight white pines stood around the temple one by one, a few ginkgo trees were planted next to the temple door, the evening wind was a little cool, and when it blew, the leaves of the ginkgo biloba fell down flutteringly, adding a sense of gloom.

Just when everyone was amazed by the grandeur of the temple, the temple gate slowly opened, and a monk wearing a golden robe walked out, this monk had a kind face, a fairy aura between his eyebrows that saw through the red dust, and a pair of bright eyes, although he looked old, he was in good spirits.

When the master saw the group coming to the temple, he always had a kind smile on his face, "Is the donor here to worship the Buddha?" It's dusk, so it's better to stay and eat a fast first. ”

The people readily agreed, and they followed the monk into the temple, and all the way in, the monk explained to them the origin of the temple.

This temple is called Jinling Temple, and the founder of the temple is named Jinling, hundreds of years ago, this place was still barren, and there were many thieves.

Travelers passing by are often robbed by thieves, and if they are lucky, they can also pick up a life if their money is taken away, and if they are unlucky, they can only leave a white bone to sleep here.

Later, there was a chivalrous man who came here to eliminate the harm for the people, this person was Jin Ling, and later, the people who lived next to him in order to thank him, spontaneously built a Guanyin temple for him, because of the large number of believers in this temple, the incense is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more people who come to make wishes, and it gradually spreads out of the famous hall.

"Is this temple really that effective? Can a wish come true? The county lord asked puzzled, as if he didn't believe the monk's words very much.

"Donor, whether it will come true or not is in everyone's heart, if you believe in him, it will definitely come true." The monk looked at the county lord and smiled slightly, and there was an unfathomable look in his expression, which was unpredictable.

"That being the case, please ask the master to calculate a hexagram for us." The emperor suddenly spoke up at this time, "Master, I am a businessman, my ancestors have been business people for generations, and this year I happened to encounter a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and my business was also affected, and I hope the master can calculate a hexagram for me." ”

The emperor looked at the monk in front of him with a reverent expression, as if he was really in trouble.

Seeing this, the monk shook his head with a smile at the emperor, "No, your status is so valuable, and the poor monk is just the host of this small temple." ”

After that, he took out a sachet from his arms, handed it to the emperor, and said: "This sachet was left by Jin Ling before Daxia left, and I will give him to you, hoping to ensure that your southern tour is smooth." With that, he looked at everyone with a smile.

Everyone was taken aback, and the monk mentioned the southern tour, but he didn't recognize their identities and knew that the royal family lied to him.

At this time, everyone was puzzled, not understanding why the monk could see through their identities, and worried about whether the southern tour had exposed their whereabouts and whether it would cause trouble.

Everyone looked at the monk vigilantly, but the monk was still slow, not in a hurry, and received the suspicious glances of the crowd at him.

"Donor, I know what you are thinking at this time, since you stood outside the door of the temple, I felt a real dragon breath, and the temple bell also thought three more times than usual."

The monk turned to the emperor again, "You are the Ninety-Five, the most noble person in the world, you have the blessing of the true dragon, why do you need the poor monk to tell you the hexagram, do more." ”

Everyone was relieved to see that the master had seen through their identities and had no malicious intent.

After chatting for a long time, it was getting late, and the master saw that it was inconvenient for them to go back to the inn, so he invited them to stay overnight.

The emperor respected the master's profound Buddhism, and the master also saw that the emperor was very Buddhaly, so everyone decided to stay in the temple for a longer time.

Due to the flow of people in the temple, in order to avoid exposing the whereabouts of the emperor and others, and to prevent some people with bad intentions from entering the temple, from the second day, the temple will no longer receive outsiders except for ordinary people offering incense.

The emperor and the county lord deliberately concealed their identities, so they asked the master to call them as ordinary people.

In the past few days, there are obviously fewer people in the temple, and the master can also discuss Buddhism and Taoism with the emperor in his spare time.

One day, the emperor was walking on the back hill of the temple, and saw a small tower in the back mountain, but the door was locked, and the emperor was about to approach the small tower to find out.

At this time, the master came over and saw the emperor.

"Master, you came just in time, why is there a tower on the mountain behind you?"

"The donor is polite, this is called the Thundering Tower, and it is used to store a sword." The master held the beads in his hand, and his mouth was still muttering something.

"A sword? Please also ask the master to explain. The emperor saw that the monks respected this tower very much, and he was even more puzzled, and the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.

"In that case, the donor will follow the poor monk in and have a look." As he spoke, he took out a tiny golden key from his bosom and unlocked the door.

The door creaked and was pushed open by the master, and the dust on the door fell for a while, and it should have been that no one had set foot on this tower for many years.

In the center of the tower is a sword, which is glowing with silver light, the hilt of the sword is engraved with the word "thunder", and the reverse side is engraved with dense runes.

"This is the sword of Jin Ling Daxia, and since the construction of this temple, this sword has been kept by us." The master explained to the emperor.

The master didn't wait for the emperor to speak, so he said to himself,

"After Jin Ling killed those thieves, he found this place and handed me this sword, he said that this sword has caused too much blood debt, and he is very angry, and he hopes that it can be handed over to us to purify."

The master seemed to be caught in the memories of that time, and the sunlight outside the crack in the door shone on the master's body, as if his whole body was emitting golden light.

"I know that your emperor loves Buddhism very much, but even if a Buddha can benefit all sentient beings, he can't survive himself after all." The master said earnestly.

"Your Majesty, today I have a vast land and resources, and the national strength is strong, and the surrounding countries dare not come to attack, others do not understand our country, but we need to take precautions."

When the emperor heard the master say this, he suddenly understood the master's intentions, "Master, I understand what you said, I have been touring all the way down the south, outside the imperial city, treating the people harshly, and there are many corrupt officials, I will find a way to work hard to govern it." ”

Seeing that the emperor assured him, the master knelt down with a bang and kowtowed to the emperor, "This is the luck of our country!" ”

In the past few days, Su Zhenzhen saw that the emperor and the master often discussed Buddhism, and she knew that she had crossed over, so she didn't believe in this, so she didn't join them, and walked around the temple to scatter her mind.

Su Zhenzhen looked at the incense in the temple, so lively. Every day, I enjoyed the flowers in the temple, fed the fish, relaxed my mood, and my insomnia was cured.

In the temple, everyone eats vegetarian food three times a day, and after eating for three or four days in a row, the county lord begins to shout for meat.

"It's vegetarian ...... again" Looking at the green of the table, the county lord was thinking about the roast duck and chicken wings in the capital...... Thinking about it, his ears drooped, and his sad face looked like a stray dog on the side of the road.

"We eat enough meat dishes on weekdays, but now that we have come to this pure place, we are suddenly vegetarian, and the county lord is not used to it." Concubine Xian said with a smile.

The county lord glanced at the vegetables in his bowl, with a disappointed face, and then rested his chin on the table, muttering in his mouth, "I eat vegetarian every day, I feel that my arms are out of strength, and the whip can't be used......" frowned as he spoke, and his wrinkled eyebrows could be clamped with a pair of chopsticks.

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat...... Otherwise, let's go hunting...... In this way, there is meat to eat...... "How good the environment is here, and the game must be delicious, the county lord looked at the emperor with a blank eye, and the begging in his eyes made people unbearable to refuse."

The emperor shook his head decisively, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, "This place is an important place for Buddhism, how can you eat meat and kill, I see that you should talk less when eating, otherwise you won't even have the strength to speak." ”

As soon as she heard this, the county lord's eyelids drooped, and his hand slowly stretched out to the chopsticks, isn't it just green vegetables, she eats ......

"But ......" the emperor stopped talking, and the county lord sat up straight suddenly, thinking that he could eat meat.

Everyone laughed when they saw that the county lord was so obsessed with meat, and the ninth princess accidentally laughed, and the county lord stuck out her tongue when she heard the laughter, but what she cared about most now was the emperor's next words.

"But what, Your Majesty, you're done......" Putting down the chopsticks that were about to pick up the vegetables, the county lord asked hurriedly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, took a bite of his own meal, and then said, "However, I thought we could make these vegetarian meals delicious." ”

Do you still want to eat vegetarian fasting...... The little hearts are about to turn green. The depressed emperor of the county lord saw it in his eyes, and then spoke, "Isn't Su Zhenzhen ingenious, this task will be handed over to her." ”

Su Zhenzhen, who was suddenly mentioned, raised her eyes, she didn't have much opinion on these vegetarian foods, she just thought it was a relief for the past days, but she quickly understood what the emperor meant, "Okay, then I will take over the responsibility of the chef." ”

No matter how delicious it is, it is also vegetarian, the county lord pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to say anything more, the emperor's meaning was clear that she couldn't eat meat, although she had confidence in Su Zhenzhen's cooking skills, but she didn't have any interest in those vegetarian dishes.

After the meal, Su Zhenzhen went to the kitchen, the kitchen in the temple is simple, two large pots, three knives, six buckets of water, the stove is clean, some vegetables are put in the basket, the ashes in the stove look like sesame paste from a distance, the temple is far away from the world, but when I come to the kitchen, there is more smell of fireworks in the world.

"Zhenzhen, do you have a clue?" The county lord accompanied Su Zhenzhen to the kitchen, secretly wondering if there was a little, a little bit of meat in the kitchen, but when he stood at the door and saw that it was so simple inside, he suddenly lost interest.

Su Zhenzhen smiled and put her hand on the county lord's wrist, "I've been staying in the kitchen for the past few days and pondering, trying to make a vegetarian meal that satisfies you." Even she didn't expect the county lord to be so inseparable from meat.

So, Su Zhenzhen spent all day in the kitchen researching, and it was a little difficult to make ordinary vegetables into delicious vegetarian food......

However, there is nothing difficult in the world, only those who have a heart......

"Coming, coming, first try, you taste it." Su Zhenzhen walked to the eating place with a large plate, which contained three or four vegetarian dishes.

Seeing that these vegetarian dishes were novel in style and beautiful in color, the county lord couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking ...... It's not a bad look......
