Chapter 1418 Spread your wings and fly high
Bauhinia Mountain Daguang Temple since the beginning of the founding of the Great Chu, is the royal Buddhist temple, in addition to accepting the people's incense, the imperial court also has to allocate a sum of silver every year to the temple for use.
Daguang Temple has been given the title of Royal Buddhist Temple so far, has experienced four hosts, the current support for the empty Tibetan master has been in power for a long time, has been nearly 30 years, the temple is in awe of the empty Tibetan master, and the people on the rivers and lakes know that if it is not for the existence of a great master in the world, then the martial arts cultivation of the empty Tibetan master can be said to be one of the best in the world.
Master Kongzang Buddhism is profound, perennial practice in the temple, many years have not gone down the mountain, the last time down the mountain, or after the death of the first emperor, Master Kongzang led the monks in the temple to do things.
In the whole world, the only one who can let Master Kongzang personally do things is the emperor.
When Qi Ning came to the Great Light Temple, it was already dusk.
He didn't know what kind of force had brought him to this royal temple again, but he knew that the only way to really solve the mystery that had haunted him for a long time was to come to the Great Light Temple.
Compared to the past, the temple has not changed in any way.
As the prince of the empire, Qi Ning is of course qualified to enter the Great Bright Temple to worship the Buddha, and he did come to the Great Bright Temple alone again in the name of worshipping the Buddha.
If Qi Ning Wuzi is only a marquis, going up the mountain may not make the Great Bright Temple make a big move, but as a prince, the reception of the Great Bright Temple is naturally unusual, when Qi Ning came to the treasure hall, the master of the clear space has been waiting for him in person.
Under the master of the Great Light Temple, there are thirteen monks of the Great Light Temple, and the Master of Pure Space is ranked very high among the thirteen monks, since the Master of Pure Dust was killed by the King of Dusk, the status of the Master of Pure Space in the Great Light Temple has been second only to the Master of Empty Treasure, and the Master of Pure Space came to receive him in person, which can be regarded as giving Qi Ning a big face.
The officials of the imperial court, every year, many people come to the temple to worship the Buddha, often take a lot of people up the mountain, send a lot of incense money, like Qi Ning alone on the mountain to worship the Buddha, it is also extremely rare.
According to the rules of the temple, after worshipping the Buddha, the master of Jingkong invited Qi Ning to the meditation room of the side hall to rest temporarily.
The last time Qi Ning was in the Great Light Temple, it was the Twilight King Dahao Treasure Temple, and since then, there has been no going up the mountain, that is, the only time Qi Ning saw Master Kongzang.
Jingkong instructed Shami to send tea, Qi Ning glanced around, the meditation room was elegant and clean, and said with a smile: "I haven't been up the mountain for a long time, everything is as before, the king was seriously injured and in danger, but fortunately, the Great Guangming Temple came to the rescue, this kindness, I have never dared to forget." ”
Master Jingkong smiled and said, "Amitabha, that is the fate of the prince and this temple. ”
"Master of Clearance, I went up the mountain alone today, you must be very strange in your heart." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Actually, in addition to coming to worship the Buddha today, there are some things I want to ask your temple for advice!" ”
The Master of Clearance said gently: "Lord Wang, please speak!" ”
"Nearly twenty years ago, something happened in the Jinyi Marquis Mansion." Qi Ning knew that in front of such a monk, there was really no need to beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "My mother was pregnant with Liujia at the time, and she was about to give birth, just in those days, your temple sent some people to the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and stayed in the Jinyi Hou Mansion for a few days, I don't know if the master still remembers this matter?" ”
The master of the clearance did not change his face, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, great."
There are nearly 1,000 people up and down the Guangming Temple, and there are countless things that happen every day. If there is an official in the capital who wants to do something in his home, he usually asks the temple to send someone there, and there are not a few people who go down the mountain every year. What the prince said, nearly twenty years, too long, the poor monk really can't remember. ”
"The master doesn't remember?" Qi Ning had already guessed that he would answer like this, so he was not in a hurry or impatient, and said with a smile: "The senior monks of your temple have gone to the capital to do things, naturally, there are many times, and it is natural that they can't remember it." It's just that there was no law to do in the Jinyi Hou Mansion back then, but Lin'er was about to be born, in this situation, the king really didn't understand why the senior monks of the Great Guangming Temple appeared in the Hou Mansion. ”
Jingkong shook his head and said, "The poor monk really doesn't know. He raised his hand and said: "Lord Wang, please use tea, you will sit here, the poor monk has a little matter, go out and deal with it." He saluted, turned around and left, and when he arrived at the door of the Zen room, Qi Ning suddenly said: "In this way, the master doesn't know that there are senior monks in your temple who have been lurking in the Jinyi Hou Mansion?" ”
The body of the master of the clear space, who had already opened the door, was shocked, the movement of pulling the door stopped, he was silent for a moment, closed the door, turned around, and said, "What did the prince say?" ”
"What is the intention of the Great Bright Temple to send people to lurk in the mansions of important ministers of the imperial court?" Qi Ning said lightly: "Daguang Temple is a royal temple, subject to the incense of the people of Da Chu, enjoying the protection of the imperial court, but doing such an illegal thing in secret, Master of Pure Space, in the laws of Da Chu, there is no one that allows the monks of Da Guangming Temple to lurk in the palace of the ministers of the court, who is this sent by your temple?" If the master is unable to give the king an explanation, the king can only ask the emperor to send someone to investigate the matter. ”
The Master of Clearance frowned slightly.
Qi Ning picked up the teacup and said lightly: "Since I have gotten to the point today, the master naturally understands that if there is no answer, this matter is not easy to solve." The master had forgotten what had happened back then, and perhaps he didn't know about the behavior of a monk lurking in the mansion of an important minister, so he asked the master to speak to Master Kuzo on his behalf, and only said that the king asked to see the master in charge. This king has already checked, when your temple sent people to the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, Master Kongzang was the host of your temple, what you don't know, maybe Master Kongzang knows. ”
The Master of Clearance's lips moved slightly, and he stopped talking, but finally bowed slightly, turned around and opened the door to leave.
Qi Ning offered a killer weapon, but he couldn't be sure whether Master Kongzang would really meet him, but Qi Ning knew very well that if there was only one person in the Great Light Temple who knew the truth about what happened, it could only be Master Kongzang.
After waiting for most of the day, the sky had already darkened, and a little novice came in to light an oil lamp, and helped Qi Ning change the tea several times.
Qi Ning was not impatient, he had always been calm.
After a long time, when I finally saw the master of the clear space enter the house, he was calm and said, "Lord Wang, please come with the poor monk!" "Don't talk nonsense, turn around and leave.
Qi Ning immediately got up and followed.
Master Jingkong was moving forward, Qi Ning was following behind, and all the monks stopped and saluted when they saw it along the way.
Daguang Temple has three pavilions, five floors, seven halls, eighteen halls, the scale is large, the construction is exquisite, but where the master of the empty collection lives, Qi Ning does not know, walking through the temple, the master of the clear space is light, the pace is extremely fast, Qi Ning's current martial arts cultivation will never be under the master of the clear space, naturally it is easy to keep up, and even to exceed the clear space is also an extremely easy thing, but he has always followed behind the clear space,
Keep your distance.
After passing through Tiandemen, Jingdu Yaotai, Wuyuan Realm, and Yuruoyuan, then passed through the Panruotai and entered a dense forest.
Qi Ning was surprised, this road became more and more familiar to him, when he was in the Great Light Temple, Master Jingkong seemed to have led him through this road, and the places he passed through were exactly the same.
In the night, the sky is full of stars, the light is sprinkled down, and the forest is quiet.
"This is Gulin!" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Why did the master bring me here?" ”
At this time, Qi Ning had already recognized that the place where he was now was an ancient forest on Bauhinia Mountain, if he didn't guess wrong, there was a lonely house in the forest, and the body of Master Jingchen was found in the ancient forest alone.
The Master of Pure Space still did not speak, and continued to move forward, and soon, Qi Ning saw a light appear in front of him, this forest was dim, and it was very conspicuous because of that light, and in a moment, it was already close, a wooden house was in the forest, and the light was transmitted from the wooden house, and this was indeed the place where Master Pure Dust was killed.
Master Jingkong stopped, saluted Qi Ning, turned around and went back, Qi Ning was surprised, and before he thought about it, he heard a voice from inside the wooden house: "Lord Wang, please come in!" ”
Qi Ning hesitated, and finally walked to the door of the wooden house, and saw a lonely lamp on a wooden table inside, an old monk sitting cross-legged on the table, holding a Buddhist scripture on the table in front of him, the old monk turned his hand to the rosary, had already turned his head, kind eyebrows, it was the master of the Great Bright Temple.
When Qi Ning saw this high monk, he felt a sense of respect in his heart, entered the house, and bowed to Master Kongzang, who said calmly: "The one who brought people to the Jinyi Marquis Mansion back then was the junior brother of Jingchen, and the prince should remember that this is the place where he passed away." ”
Qi Ning's heart sank, and he didn't expect that Master Kongzang was also straight to the point.
Master Kongzang raised his hand and motioned for Qi Ning to sit down, Qi Ning walked over lightly, sat down opposite Master Kongzang, looked up and saw that Master Kongzang was soft, silent for a while, and then said: "Master should know what I went up the mountain for today." ”
"Where did you come from, where are you going!"
Qi Ning's expression was solemn, and he bowed his head and said, "What the master said is extremely true. If you don't know where you came from, how do you know where you're going? ”
"There is no way to come, and there is no way to go." Master Kongzang stared at Qi Ning and said softly, "Lord Wang, how about listening to the old monk tell a story first?" ”
Qi Ning said: "Listen to the teaching!" ”
"A hen hatched eggs and raised several chicks, one of which was unusual because it was the result of an eagle's egg that had been mixed in." Master Kuzo was calm, and his voice was gentle: "The eaglet takes the hen as the mother and regards the other chicks as brothers and sisters, and the habits are the same, and there is no change. As the days passed, he grew much stronger than a chick, and he only thought that it was different in appearance, and had no other intentions, and he never spread his wings. ”
Qi Ning frowned, this story sounded quite childish, it sounded like a story for children, but he didn't know why Master Kongzang would tell such a story to himself.
"Until one day, an eagle fell from the sky and fed on a flock of chickens, and the eaglet found itself like an eagle and finally spread its wings." Master Kongzang said slowly: "That's when it knew that it could spread its wings and fly high........!" ”
