Seeing Li Jing like this, Zhi Qi hurriedly got up and stretched out his hands to clasp each other, and said: "It's only because there have been some changes in the temple recently, and the poor monk is too cautious and cautious in handling things, so that the little donor has suffered some grievances, and I hope the little donor will not mind." Little donor, please sit down and talk. ”

Li Jing knew that the other party was Master Zhiqi, so he was willing to sit down, took out Yang Guang's handwritten letter from his arms, held it in both hands and presented it to Zhiqi, and said: "This is a handwritten letter written by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the master, please read it at the master's time." ”

Zhi Qian took the letter from Li Jing's hand in surprise, and asked: "The little donor called the King of Jin, but Yang Guang, the new King of Jin in charge of Yangzhou?" Why did Fang Cai claim to be ordered by the Xiao family to come here to deliver a letter to the poor monk? ”

Li Jing had to explain truthfully to Zhiqi: "Princess Jin was originally a princess of Houliang, and she had a teacher-student relationship with the master more than ten years ago, because she could not confirm the true identity of the master, so she was entrusted by the princess to send a letter to the master......

"The poor monk has long heard the legend that the princess of Jin was born in the Liang clan, but she didn't expect it to be Er'er. Now that I heard you say this, the poor monk will understand that he is indeed wrong to blame you. Little donor, please sit down, wait for the poor monk to read the letter from the king of Jin, let's talk again. After hearing Li Jing's explanation, Zhiqi suddenly apologized to him.

At the moment, Duyu accompanied Li Jing to sit down and drink tea, and Zhiqi unfolded Yang Guang's handwritten letter and took a closer look.

"I haven't asked yet, what is the name of the little benefactor?" After a while, Zhi Qi read Yang Guang's letter and asked Li Jing.

Li Jing immediately got up, clasped his fists and replied: "Under Li Jing, the current Jin King Guard." ”

Zhiqi nodded, handed the letter in his hand to Duyu, and asked Li Jing again: "The king of Jin invited the poor monk to Guangling in the letter, does the little donor know what is going on?" ”

"Master Yu, the king of my family has admired the master for a long time, and he wanted to go to Tiantai Mountain to invite the master to go down the mountain to Guangling to promote Buddhism and transform the world, but he was entangled in official business, and it was difficult to go south, so he ordered to bring a handwritten letter to invite the master to visit Guangling in order to listen to the teachings in person."

Zhi Qian looked at him and said nothing, seeing that he looked at Yang Guang's letter and bowed his head and was silent, as if he had already understood his mind, so he opened his mouth to explain to Li Jing: "Then please ask General Li to return to Guangling to report to the King of Jin, wait for the poor monks to take care of the affairs in the temple, and then discuss with the senior brothers about going to Guangling." ”

Li Jing listened to Zhi's words, and seemed to have the intention of declining Yang Guang's invitation, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and asked, "But I don't know what has happened recently in Guibao Temple?" Now that he is under the king's order, he should solve problems for the master, and hope that the master will tell the truth. ”

At this time, Duyu suddenly interjected: "The matter in the temple is not to worry about the general." Since the abbot and his brother said that when the matter in the temple is over, they will discuss the matter of going to Guangling, and then they will give an exact reply to His Royal Highness King Jin. The general's letter has been delivered, so you can leave the temple and go down the mountain. ”

"Master Duyu forgive me, under the order of the king to come to Tiantai Mountain to invite Master Zhiqi to Guangling to meet, even if as Master Zhiqi just said, there is indeed an urgent matter in the temple that Master Zhiqi needs to take care of it himself before he can leave to invite, but also ask the master to see the specific time of departure, so that the local garrison can be informed in advance, and then send a sergeant to escort the master to the north. Otherwise, it will be difficult to return to Guangling to return to the prince in the next decision. Li Jing made up his mind that he must get a definite answer from Master Zhiqi today, so he left Tiantai Mountain, so he insisted.

Hearing that Li Jing blindly forced Zhiqi to reply on the spot, Duyu immediately sank his face, and coldly instructed the initiation and others: "This little benefactor has now completed his mission, so let's send him down the mountain as soon as possible." lest it delay his trip, but it is not beautiful. ”

Li Jing saw that the monologue wanted to order the empowerment and others to forcibly take him down the mountain, and when he climbed the mountain, he was in a hurry, and quickly jumped in front of the Zhiqi seat, stretched out his hand to climb the sleeve of Zhiqi, turned his head and raised his eyebrows and shouted to the empowerment and others: "I am under the order of the king, and I kindly invite Master Zhiqi to Guangling to meet with you, and if you want to drive you down the mountain, you will not blame you for being rude under the Xia, and you will forcibly take the Zhiqi master and Zaixia to go down the mountain together." ”

In the blink of an eye, he put Zhi Qi under his control, which made the initiation and others jealous and did not dare to rush forward and do anything to him.

"General, aren't you afraid that if you offend the poor monk today, the king of Jin will investigate you?" Zhiqi behaved very calmly and calmly at this time, staring at Li Jingpan's hand and asking coldly.

"As long as I can take the master back to Guangling, even if I receive some punishment for this, I can't care about it at this time." Li Jing knew that as soon as he relented at this time, things would become more and more out of control, so he gritted his teeth and replied.

"The poor monk knows very well what His Royal Highness the King of Jin invited me to Guangling, what is his intention. However, he reminded the general: The poor monk is outside the Hua, and he has no obligation to obey the king's orders, even if he goes to Guangling on the king's orders, it is just for the people of Jiangnan to avoid more misery, and it is by no means succumbing to any king's orders and coercion. If the general insists on going his own way, he will definitely take the poor monk down the mountain, which will only backfire, lose both, and it will not help, and please think twice. Zhiqi not only had no fear, but taught Li Jing a lesson in the tone of the elders instructing the juniors.

Li Jing is not unaware of annoying Zhiqi, and it is not good for people or people, but he was stimulated by monologue for a while, so he made this decision, and wanted to force Zhiqi to go down the mountain, at this time, listening to Zhiqi's bitter words, he couldn't help but feel discouraged, let go of the hand that grabbed Zhiqi, and said in a pleading tone: "If you can't invite the master to Guangling, the King of Jin will then send someone else to invite the master again." In order to give the master a specific time to set off on his journey, he saved a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

"Although the poor monk and Er'er had a master-apprentice relationship, they have never known His Royal Highness the King of Jin, how can there be any reason in this world to invite others to an appointment?" Zhi Qi looked at Duyu and said to Li Jing, "You go back and report to the King of Jin, if he is willing to take refuge in Buddhism and take the Bodhisattva vows under the name of the poor monk, a month later, the poor monk will definitely set off to Guangling to meet him, otherwise, this matter will not be discussed from now on." ”

Li Jing turned his head with Zhiqi's gaze and saw it clearly: Duyu listened to the condition that Zhiqi gave him, and nodded frequently and said yes. couldn't help but have a flash of thought, as if he had an understanding, he hurriedly took two steps back, hugged his fists and said to Zhiqi and monologue: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient to be too reluctant to master in the next place, so I will go down the mountain and return to Guangling, and report the master's words to the prince according to the truth." Leave. After that, without waiting for the empowerment and the others to come forward to see them off, he turned around and ran out of the abbot and went down the mountain.
