Chapter 308: Kumquat Ginger Silk Honey
Xilingyue looked at Xiao Yi and confirmed again: "Really? ”
Xiao Yi let out a "hmm".
Xilingyue looked at her childhood sweetheart's brother-in-law and saw that his face was calm; Looking at Li Chengxuan again, it was also as if nothing happened. She seemed to believe the words of the two and pouted: "Who told you not to take me into the palace!" Look, you wouldn't even be able to see anyone without me being around! ”
She yawned as she spoke, and pushed the door open, leaving only the two men in the room.
Li Chengxuan kept looking at her departing back until he disappeared from sight, and then he withdrew his gaze, with a touch of worry on his face: "Watch her closely, don't let her run around." ”
Xiao Yi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, the prince." ”
Three days later, Li Chengxuan went to Anguo Temple again.
The time has just arrived, and it is getting higher and higher, and Chang'an in mid-September has already cooled. Li Chengxuan drove Jane from alone, no one was alarmed, but as soon as he walked to the East Zen Temple, he heard a burst of delicate laughter coming from the main hall: "This kumquat ginger honey, this season is the best to drink." Find a jar to mash the kumquat and put honey on it, then put the kumquat peel and ginger shreds in it to marinate for two days, dig out a spoonful when you want to drink, add a little warm water to reconcile, both to ward off the cold and moisturize the lungs, it is a good product to drink in autumn and winter! ”
"Oh yes, you must remember, that jar can't see raw water!"
Li Chengxuan stood at the door and looked inward, and saw Xilingyue's cherry mouth slightly open, smiling slightly red, and explaining the practice of kumquat ginger honey with great energy. The Venerable Master listened attentively, asking and nodding his head from time to time, occasionally coughing.
Li Chengxuan also coughed and cleared his throat: "Venerable Master." ”
Venerable An Cheng and Xiling Yue turned back at the same time, and the former got up to greet each other with a warm face: "The prince is here!" ”
The latter winked at him to hide his weakness, and then greeted him with a smile: "Why did the prince come in person?" The maidservants have done as you have instructed, and the Venerable Master has made a comment. ”
"Yes," Master An Cheng also smiled, "the poor monk has finished the annotation and is about to hand it over to the female official of Xiling." ”
Li Chengxuan didn't speak, his eyes looked past the two of them at the table, and he saw that on the place where Fang Cai Xilingyue was sitting, there was a spread out copy of "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" in his hand, which was densely annotated with many annotations, and at first glance it was the handwriting of Master An Cheng.
As we all know, "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" was written by Master Xuanzang, a high-ranking monk, which recorded what he had seen and heard in the West for more than ten years, involving the customs and allusions and legends of hundreds of city-states, regions and countries. It is true that this book is very valuable, especially the record of the Western Regions, which provided many good strategies for the emperors of Taizong and Gaozong to govern the Western Regions, but this book has nothing to do with Buddhism, and is generally a chronicle of the climate.
I don't know where Xilingyue got such a book, pretending to be a Buddhist scripture to find An Cheng Venerable Master to make any annotations, or in the name of his Fu King. Li Chengxuan was suddenly a little helpless.
But he couldn't expose it, so he had to follow Xilingyue's words and replied to Master An Cheng: "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty is Master Xuanzang's experience in learning from the scriptures, and the content is profound. ”
Fortunately, Li Chengxuan's name spread far and wide in Chang'an, and Master An Cheng had heard about it a little, so he had no doubts about his move, and smiled back: "Where and where, Master Xuanzang's writings, it is worth reading it ten thousand times for poor monks." ”
Li Chengxuan glanced at Xiling Yue lightly and didn't say anything more.
The latter shivered inexplicably, and hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Oh, please sit down, the maid is recommending the ...... in our house."
"Kumquat ginger honey?" Li Chengxuan walked to the desk and sat down.
Xilingyue explained embarrassedly: "The Venerable Master said that he would cough incessantly every autumn and winter, and the maid thought that the honey tea made by Sister Atsui was excellent, so he told him what he had done. ”
Li Chengxuan deliberately scolded: "Since you know that the Venerable Master is coughing, you don't let Ah Cui make two jars and send them, what's the use of talking about it?" Xilingyue knew that he was taking the opportunity to reprimand himself for secretly coming to Anguo Temple, so he had to plead in a low voice: "Yes, the maid should die, the maid was negligent, and the maid said to Sister Acui tonight." ”
The two sang and harmonized on the side, and Master An Cheng couldn't interject until this time, and only then waved his hand and said, "The prince is too polite, it's just a small problem." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a little novice come in and report, "Amitabha, Venerable, Master Zhenluo's disciple has arrived, saying that he has come to pick up some old things." ”
Venerable An Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Quickly invite the senior disciple of the mage to come in!" ”
Xiao Shami scratched his head in embarrassment: "That female master heard that you have a guest here, and she didn't want to show up. ”
"This ......," Master An Cheng hesitated for a moment and said apologetically to Li Chengxuan, "Lord wait a moment, and the poor monk will come back after saying a few words to Master Zhen Luo's senior disciples." ”
"The Venerable Master, please." Li Chengxuan smiled and stretched out his hand.
Venerable An Cheng hurried out the door.
As soon as he left with his front foot, Li Chengxuan's face sank and asked Xilingyue: "Don't say a word when you come to Anguo Temple?" Want to secretly investigate the case without me? ”
Xilingyue pursed her lips, lowered her head and remained silent, secretly saying that she had a bad fate and was caught by the main owner.
Li Chengxuan reprimanded her: "I have already told you that you can't take care of the case of Shengchengang anymore." ”
"Who said I was here to find the Birth Gang?" The corners of Xiling Yue's mouth rose, "I'm here to find the original "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion"! ”
Li Chengxuan was slightly surprised, and then fell silent.
In this matter, the two of them thought of one thing. Now it has been one hundred and thirty-two years since Wang Bo made the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", during which there was first the Wu Hou Lin Dynasty called the system, and then usurped the Tang Dynasty and changed the Zhou, it is conceivable that as long as the Wu Hou insists that the version he deleted is the original version, then the people who really hold the original version must think that the version in their hands is fake and will not be retained. Even if there was a real original version handed down back then, it must have been burned long ago in the years when Empress Wu's hands and eyes were in the sky.
Therefore, now Datang should not be able to find the original version in China.
However, Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" was written in the autumn of the second year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, and it was half a year after it was circulated to Chang'an, and it was passed on by word of mouth to reach the heavens. After careful calculation of the time, Empress Wu learned that the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" was different at least in the third year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, and during this period, it happened that Fusang came to send a group of Tang envoys and monks to study abroad, and they stayed in various parts of the Tang Dynasty to study and study, and copied a number of colorful articles to return to China.
That is to say, if there is still Wang Bo's original version of the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" in this world, then it is very likely to be in Fusang, the hometown of Master An Cheng.
This is the reason why Li Chengxuan and Xiling Yue came to Anguo Temple together. This time it is not for the birth of the Gang, but for the mystery in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", in order to know the identity of "His Royal Highness" and "Pavilion Master".
