Chapter 686: North and South Cave Temples

Wang Ping'an said: "Your Highness, don't panic, the minister has a homemade tranquilizing pill, as long as you give Mei Niang a pill, she can sleep peacefully and no longer have nightmares." ”

Li Zhidao: "Is there any medicine?" Hurry up. ”

Wang Ping'an replied and went back to his tent, where he usually made a lot of pills in case of emergency. He took a tranquilizing pill, returned to Li Zhi's tent, and handed the medicine through the crack in the curtain.

Li Zhi asked, "Is it good to take this medicine, and how long will it take to show its power?" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "A quarter of an hour is enough." After Mei Niang took the medicine, she silently remembered in her heart that I gave birth to a son, and repeated this sentence a hundred times, and the medicinal properties were revealed, and she would fall asleep and no longer dream! ”

So-so, this can be regarded as self-hypnosis, after Wu Meiniang took the tranquilizing pill, she read this sentence again, she will fall asleep when she reads it, and she will fall asleep with the idea that she gave birth to a son, and she will not have nightmares again.

There was a slight voice in the tent, and it was estimated that Li Zhi was giving Wu Meiniang medicine. After a while, Li Zhi said: "No disease, what if Mei Niang has nightmares again?" Why don't you come in and give her a pulse? ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "I think about it every day, I dream at night, I think less, I think more, I naturally dream more!" He said: "It's late at night, and it's inconvenient for the minister to enter the account, but after Mei Niang takes the medicine, she will be worry-free." Otherwise, the minister is waiting outside the tent, and if there is anything else, His Highness will call the minister! ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Li Zhi showed his head and said, "No disease, but I've worked hard for you!" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Yes, sharing worries for His Highness is the minister's business!" ”

Li Zhi hummed and lowered the curtain. There was another whisper of voice in the tent. Wang Ping'an couldn't hear what was said inside, but he could only wait outside the tent. After waiting for two quarters of an hour, there was no more sound of speech in the tent, and the sound of breathing sounded, as if both of them were asleep.

Wang Ping'an didn't want to wait outside the tent to feed the mosquitoes, now the weather is hot, there are many mosquitoes in the woods, if you are outside all night, you must not be bitten all over the body. He tiptoed back to his tent and went to sleep.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Wang Ping'an got up, sat down outside Li Zhi's tent again, and then dozed off, pretending to be outside the tent all night!

The sun was rising, there was a sound in the tent, someone woke up, seemed to be getting dressed, Wang Ping'an heard the sound, and quickly sat up straight. It didn't take much effort, the tent curtain was lifted, and Wu Meiniang looked out in the tent.

Wang Ping'an immediately smiled at her and said, "Morning! ”

Wu Meiniang sighed and said strangely: "Uncle, have you sat here all night?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "No, I also lay down for a while, just woke up!" As he spoke, he yawned and stretched. He said he had been lying down for a while, but he didn't say where he had been lying.

Wu Meiniang was greatly moved, and said: "Uncle, you are so hard, there are too many things about Mei Niang, so that it has affected you!" "His voice is still hoarse, but it's a little better than yesterday.

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Hey, your throat seems to be better, it seems that the medicine has an effect." You wash up first, I'll decoct the medicine for you, eat early, you take the medicine, and then we'll go on the road again. As he spoke, he called Ouyang Li and asked everyone to prepare breakfast, while he took out the decoction utensils in the car and made decoction for Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang was very grateful, looked back at Li Zhi, and saw that Li Zhi yawned and woke up, so she said: "Your Highness, my uncle has been guarding outside the tent yesterday and has been tired, my uncle is really good!" ”

Li Zhi got up and said, "Of course, Wuzhi is my most intimate minister, and I treat him like a brother." ”

Wu Meiniang snorted and said, "Li Ke is also your own brother, how do you treat him, and how does he treat you?" ”

Li Zhi sighed, early in the morning, talking about such a heavy topic, he simply lay back and said: "My relationship with Wuxian is closer than my own brother, and others can't compare!" ”

Wu Meiniang snorted again and said, "What about me than Meiniang?" With that, she pushed Li Zhi.

Li Zhi thought to himself: "I mean it's not right, you can find fault!" He smiled: "Wu Meiniang is the first in my heart, and no disease is the second, this is always okay, I mean people of our generation, don't mention other generations!" ”

This time he kept an eye on it, Wu Meiniang wanted to compare with others again, and she didn't dare to be with her father, but it was quite embarrassing to ask about her uncle's eldest grandson Wuji, if she said that her uncle was more important than her, although it was the truth, but she also had to lose her face, and she would lose her face for a day and a half, so it would be boring!

Wu Meiniang didn't ask anymore, lay back to Li Zhi's side, scratched Li Zhi's nose, and said with a smile: "There are too many people here, why don't we go to the cave temple, find a quiet room, and talk about how important I am in your heart!" ”

Li Zhi laughed.

Wang Ping'an was decocting the medicine with his hands and feet, while the Ouyang brothers made breakfast and waited for Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang to get up. But after a long time, the sky was bright, and the two of them came out of the tent, and after washing conveniently, they ate and took medicine, and then they set off on the road.

This time, I went on the road again, but I didn't walk long, and at noon, I arrived at the North Cave Temple.

When the carriage and horse arrived outside the mountain gate, Wang Ping'an looked up and thought: "Why is it so tattered, and there are no pilgrims at all, the scenery here is beautiful, there should be many people to burn incense and worship the Buddha!" ”

Li Zhi also looked up at the temple gate, and said strangely: "No disease, didn't you say that the incense here is prosperous, and you must answer the request for a child, why is it so defeated?" ”

Wu Meiniang was full of hope, looking out from the car, when she saw the red paint peeling off, and there were not even a few tiles left on the roof, she was full of hope, and suddenly fell into the valley. She thought to herself: "Could it be that the gods and Buddhas in this temple are not as manifest as they are rumored?" If they have a spirit and answer their prayers, then how can this temple be broken like this? If the gods and Buddhas can't even protect their own incense land, then who else can they protect? ”

Wang Ping'an whispered: "I don't know, or are we going in the wrong direction, isn't this a cave temple?" The minister will go and ask, Your Highness will wait a while, and the minister will go back when he goes! ”

Li Zhi hummed, turned the horse's head, went to the side of the carriage, and said to Wu Meiniang: "Wu Zhi said that he may have found the wrong place, this is not a cave temple." ”

Wu Meiniang's face was ugly, she looked at the mountain gate, and saw that there was no plaque on the door, it was indeed difficult to judge what kind of temple this was, but if it was not a cave temple, where was it?

Wang Ping'an got off the horse, and without the Ouyang brothers to follow, he entered the mountain gate by himself. The mountain gate has no lock and no latch, and it can be entered with a push. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wang Ping'an grinned, okay, it was even more dilapidated than the original Inspiration Temple, the Inspiration Temple was a courtyard full of weeds, and this courtyard was full of stone bricks, and fine grass grew in the brick cracks, making the whole yard look like it was made of countless small squares!

Wang Ping'an shouted: "Is there anyone? Can there be a host in the temple? There was no one in the front yard, and he walked through the lobby and into the backyard.

When I came to the backyard, I saw that the backyard was quite wide, and near the corner of the courtyard, there was a small vegetable bed, and in the vegetable bed, there was a squatting person, wearing a straw hat on his head, and I couldn't tell if it was a monk.

When the man in the straw hat heard the question, he turned his head, slowly stood up, and asked, "Donor, who are you looking for?" ”

Wang Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, it is good to have people in the temple, and it is better to have monks. He walked up to this man and said, "I am a pilgrim who has come to worship the Buddha, but what about the presiding officer of your temple?" ”

The man sighed, took off his straw hat, showed his bare head, and said with a smile: "Except for the poor monks who are still scraping their scalps with a spatula every month, there is no one else in the temple!" "He was in his fifties, dark-skinned, but he was quite healthy, and he was a witty talker.

Wang Ping'an said: "You are the host?" How did this temple fall to this point, isn't there incense here? ”

"That was a few years ago, since Gyeongju came to Ji Thorn History, the days in this temple are not as good as day by day, there is a thorn history that all the incense money has to be taken away, and naturally there is a dilapidated cave temple." This monk said.

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Ji Thorn History? That's all the old emperor's calendar, and now Gyeongju has changed the history of assassination. He paused and said, "Seeing that you are living a hard life, can you think of a sum of sesame oil money to add some food to the pot?" As long as you do what I say, add as many dishes as you want to the pot. ”

The monk looked at him and said with a smile: "Add vegetables? The poor monk eats vegetables all day long, and he has long been tired of eating, if there is wine and meat to give, it would be great, the donor wants the poor monk to say something, but to ask for a hexagram for others? Okay, whatever you let the poor monk say, the poor monk will say it! ”

Wang Ping'an laughed dryly twice, and said: "Okay, then you listen well, you just have to say it like this......" He taught a few words like this, took out a few golden melon seeds, stuffed them into the monk's hand, and said: "My young master and wife are happy, I will give it twice!" ”

The monk picked up a golden melon seed, put it in his mouth and bit it, and said, "Really." Okay, the poor monk will follow what you taught, and your young master and wife will be satisfied. If you are not satisfied, you can tear down my temple! ”

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "You ruined temple, if you don't demolish it, it will fall!" He took the monk out of the temple and shouted to Li Zhi outside: "Young master, the gods and Buddhas in this temple are extremely spiritual, and this temple is broken like this, which is the proof!" ”

South Cave Temple.

Anshanda personally went to the state city to inquire about the news, and when he came back, he reported to Li Ke, saying that Li Zhi and the others had left the city and went to the cave temple. Li Ke immediately called Qiu Tingxuan and told him to build a canal, and he himself wanted to find raw materials to build a waterwheel, and he wanted to build the largest waterwheel in the world.

He brought a group of officials from Chang'an, all of whom were his own people, so it was convenient for him to testify. I didn't explain why, but I just took the officials and rode to the South Cave Temple.

If there is a ghost in the family, it will not be able to do anything. Ansan said that Li Zhi went to the cave temple, but he didn't say that it was from the north, so he specially led Li Zhi and others to the south cave temple. Everyone came from Chang'an, and no one knew that there were two cave temples here, so they followed him.

They rode horses and galloped, moving extremely fast, and also sent a lot of capable people and strangers, and the front sentinel detectives rushed straight to the South Cave Temple, and they did not find Li Zhi's whereabouts. Li Ke had no choice but to send someone directly to the temple to see if Li Zhi had gone or not, could it be that he turned halfway and went to play elsewhere? It didn't take long for the person who was sent to come back to report that there was no trace of Li Zhi in the temple, and he didn't come at all!

Li Ke was furious, called An Shan into the forest, found a place where no one was, and reprimanded him loudly!
