The women followed Cheng Yue to the door, and Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan stepped forward to salute and simply told Cheng Yue about the suppression last night.
Cheng Yue said: "Did you sleep last night?" If you haven't slept out, you can catch up on the carriage. ”
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Last night, it was mainly the commander of the army and my husband who were busy, and the minister knew that we were going to accompany the governor to the Shaolin Temple today, and it was useless for us to go out, thank you for the governor's concern." ”
Chen hung his eyes and said: "Dadu Governor, the hearts of the people in the city are still a little fluctuating, will it be dangerous for Dadu Governor to go out at this time?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "It's okay, I specially chose to travel at this time." As soon as I go out of the city, the Muslims in the city will really settle down and not be afraid that I will continue to kill. As for whether anyone will seek revenge on me, I am not worried at all. If anyone dares to do this, is it to bring about their own destruction, and they don't want the lives of other Muslims in Quanzhou? ”
Chen said with admiration: "The courage of the Grand Governor is really amazing. ”
Cheng Yue said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go, many people are watching." ”
Cheng Yue's carriage then drove out of Pufu and ran out of the city.
The people on the street recognized the red gold dragon flag held by Cheng Yue's guards, and knew that it was Cheng Yue who was traveling, and they were all cheering for him. Occasionally, when I met Muslims who had to come out to run errands, they saw Cheng Yue's banner from a distance, and they hurriedly hid in the corner, not daring to look up at Cheng Yue's carriage and escorts, waiting for the carriage to go away. Only then did I finally breathe a sigh of relief. Hide and hide to get busy.
Quanzhou Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Dongyue Mountain, Yumai of Qingyuan Mountain. It is 17 miles away from Quanzhou City, with a grand scale and an area of about 400 acres. In addition to the mountain gate, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Tianwang Palace, the Guanyin Palace, the Dizang Hall and other corridors and kitchen houses, there are five halls, whose names are "said to be the law, said the patriarch, said the thirteen, said the Arhat, said the Xuannu." ”
"Law" is the Dharma Hall, and "Patriarch" is the Patriarch Hall, which is dedicated to the first ancestor of Shaolin, Bodhidharma. "Thirteen" is the thirteen halls, dedicated to the thirteen warrior monks of Songshan. "Luohan" Luohan Hall. Dedicated to Arhats. "Xuannu" is the Xuannu Hall, dedicated to the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang.
Cheng Yue was lying comfortably on Wan Ze's thigh in the carriage.
Babahan "fluttered" and smiled: "You are like a person who goes to worship the Buddha, you are simply going to visit the mountains and rivers." ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "My Buddha roots are shallow, I can't practice Zen, it's okay to look at the scenery." I came to Quanzhou Shaolin mainly to accompany you around, it is rare for you to come to Quanzhou, why are you always stuck in Pu Shougeng's house? I also set an island, and when I come back from the Shaolin Temple, I will take you to the island to play. You're going to love it. ”
Kuo Kuolun and Ba Bahan were so surprised that they almost jumped up, clapping their hands in unison: "Really? That's great! "Along the way, for the sake of time. After resting on the shore in the evening, they were about to leave early the next morning, and they did not have time to really play on the beach, which became their biggest regret. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yue saw all this in his eyes, and made such an arrangement after arriving in Quanzhou.
Kuo Kuolun and Ba Ba Han's eyes almost dripping out of the eyes when they looked at Cheng Yue, if there was no finish in the car, they would have rushed over to make love to Cheng Yue. Fortunately, Wan Ze was curiously asking Cheng Yue about everything, so he didn't find out that Kuo Kuolun and Babahan had a fiery affection for Cheng Yue.
The carriage passed through the farmland of the Shaolin Temple, and the monks who were cultivating the fields looked at the carriage in amazement. I heard that the Governor of Dadu Cheng Yue arrived in Quanzhou, could it be that he came in person? No way?
Cheng Yue did not send someone to inform the Shaolin Temple in advance that he was coming, so the Shaolin Temple was unprepared.
When the carriage arrived at the mountain gate, Fakong, a monk from Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, looked at the row of carriages in front of him and was stunned. There are not many new carriages in Quanzhou City, mainly from the Pu family, but how could his family come to Shaolin Temple? Seeing so many luxurious carriages at one time is also the first time for Quanzhou Shaolin Temple.
The pilgrims at the gate of the temple began to exchange ears, believing that this could only be the presence of the Metropolitan Governor himself.
Fakong looked at the cavalry in new uniforms again, as well as the red gold dragon banner in their hands, and finally came back to his senses.
Oh, my God! Could it be that the Metropolitan Governor is here in person? Could it be that the Mongolian queen and imperial concubine who went to Quanzhou with the governor of the capital also arrived?
Fakong is some Taoism in the end, and he was surprised and surprised, but he still calmly stepped forward to give a salute, and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the little monk Shaolin Temple knows the guest Fakong." Which donor is coming to the temple? The little monk told the elders. ”
Xiao Zhen jumped off the horse, put his hands together and said with a smile: "Master Lao has reported that the scholars of the Great Song Jixian Palace, Cheng Yue, the Governor of the Water and Land Metropolis, Princess Wanze, and the little ladies of the Dayuan Kuokuolun Queen, the Imperial Concubine of Babahan and the Metropolitan Governor have come to your temple, and ask your temple to sort out a few Zen rooms for the nobles to rest." ”
Although Fa Hollow was prepared in his heart, he was still startled when he heard Xiao Zhen speak, and hurriedly said: "I don't want the Grand Governor and the queen, the imperial concubine, and the princess to come to the temple in person, the little monk is polite, so go in and report, and the elder will immediately come out to greet him in person." After saying a deep salute, he ordered the mountain gate to be opened, and welcomed all the nobles into the temple.
The carriage drove into the temple and stopped, Cheng Yue helped Kuo Kuolun and others to get off the car, and the concubines, Mrs. Xu, and Chen Hangyan also came from behind and gathered together.
The pilgrims in the temple had never seen so many peerless beauties gathered, and they couldn't help but feast their eyes and desperately probe Cheng Yue's wife and concubine. The Shaolin monks at the gate of the mountain stood silently, waiting for Cheng Yue's orders.
Fakong is a master of Southern Shaolin who is clearly recorded in history, and the monks under him are also strong in martial arts and have a deep cultivation.
At this time, only the bell and drum were heard, and the footsteps in the Shaolin Temple rumbled, and a large number of neatly dressed monks surrounded an old monk and walked quickly. The old monk was dressed in a robe, his expression was solemn, and although his steps were fast, he did not see the frivolous and flattering color, which showed that he was a high-ranking monk.
The old monk walked in front of Cheng Yue, clasped his hands together, led the monks to give a deep salute, and said: "The old monk Yuan Miao, the abbot of Shaolin in Quanzhou, led more than 1,500 monks in the temple to meet the governor of Cheng Dadu, Queen Kuokuolun, the princess of Babahan, Princess Wanze and the ladies. ”
Cheng Yue titheed and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Quanzhou South Shaolin for a long time, and today I am so happy, I take the liberty to disturb, and the master should not be surprised." ”
Yuan Miao hurriedly said: "The Metropolitan Governor and all the nobles come to the temple, it is a great honor, please go to the back temple to serve tea." ”
Cheng Yue nodded, stretched out his hand and asked, "Please ask the master to lead the way." ”
Yuan Miao Gao announced the Buddha and said, "Please." ”
The monks of the temple immediately lined up in two rows to welcome Cheng Yue and others into the temple.
The pilgrims in the temple shouted in unison behind them: "Great Governor Wanblessed!" ”
"The grass people meet the Grand Duke!"
Cheng Yue waved his hand to greet the people, causing a louder cheer.
Shaolin Temple occupies a very large area, Yuan Miao explained the various origins of South Shaolin for Cheng Yue and others while walking, he knew that Cheng Yue hated those absurd things, so those so-called miracles were all omitted, only talking about historical records. Sure enough, Cheng Yue was very interested, asked questions frequently, and talked very speculatively with Yuan Miao.
All the way to Yuan Miao's meditation room, Yuan Miao invited Cheng Yue and others to enter the house to serve tea, and only a dozen monks with the highest status in the temple followed up in the temple, and the other senior monks were waiting outside the door, not allowed to leave without permission, in case Cheng Yue was summoned temporarily.
Yuan Miao respectfully invited Cheng Yue to sit on the top, and Kuo Kuolun and others naturally sat next to him, so that the monks in the temple were very happy. In the end, it is the governor of the capital, and the queen of Meng Yuan can't play prestige in front of him.
Xiao Shami took a sip of tea, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "The tea in Shaolin Temple is good." ”
Yuan Miao said with a smile: "This tea is made by the old monk himself, and the governor likes it, and the old monk still has some of them, which should be given to the governor." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "No, the master worked hard to make a little tea, how can it be cheap for me." ”
Yuan Miao smiled and said, "The Governor is polite, how hard is it to talk about the hard work?" ”
Babahan praised: "This place is very quiet, and it is indeed a good place for meditation. ”
Yuan Miao said: "Thank you for the praise of the imperial concubine, the monk should be six pure, and it is a little too lively here." ”
Kuo Kuolun also liked it, and said, "Cheng Yue, can we stay here for a day?" ”
Cheng Yue looked at Yuan Miao, and Yuan Miao hurriedly said: "The old monk has ordered to clean out a separate courtyard, if you don't dislike it, please rest in the temple at will." ”
Cheng Yue put down the tea bowl and said, "Okay." I came this time, in fact, there are three purposes, all the masters are high monks, you can come and guess. ”
The monks looked at each other, not knowing why, thinking of something, looking at others and not daring to say.
Cheng Yue pointed to a middle-aged monk: "What's your name?" Tell me, why did I suddenly come to the temple? ”
The middle-aged monk was burly and vigorous, and when he saw Cheng Yue reaching him, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Amitabha, the poor monk is the martial farmer in the temple, and he will meet the governor." The poor monks thought that most of the governors came to the temple, which seemed to have the intention of recruiting the monks in the temple. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "You are honest, Faben, I have heard of you, you can sit first." ”
Faben Shili sat down, a little apprehensive in his heart. The Metropolitan Governor said that he had heard of himself, could it be that the Metropolitan Governor had already made an attempt at the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou?
Cheng Yue pointed to another monk with a tiger's back and said, "Who are you?" Let's hear it. ”
The monk hurriedly got up and said, "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the poor monk is Wuqiao Fahua." The poor monk guessed that the Governor of the Metropolitan brought nobles to come, perhaps with the intention of visiting the mountains and rivers. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "This is natural. Fahua, I know you too, so sit down too. ”
Hokke sat back in his seat and twisted the beads lightly.
Cheng Yue asked, "Who is the recruitment law?" ”
Fa Zheng was taken aback when he heard Cheng Yue call his name, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "The poor monk Fa is here, please ask the Metropolitan Governor to order." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and looked him up and down a few times. I saw that there were a few inconspicuous small patches on Fazheng's monk's robe, with a loyal and capable appearance, but the calluses on his hands were extremely thick, and it was obvious that his martial arts had not fallen for a day.
