Chapter 73: Far Away
Li Zheng's son, Liu Xiangyang, opened the door of the Heavenly King Hall and quickly closed it, patted the snow chips on his shoulder, and walked to the bonfire in three steps and two steps, his face was not very good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xiangyang, you eat something first!" Li Zheng cared about his son and gave him two white-flour steamed buns.
Liu Xiangyang nodded and took a bite of the steamed bun, and said with some dejection: "I went to Xiaojue Temple, and the people from their side can't come." ”
"Huh?" Rizheng asked, "What do they say?" ”
Liu Xiangyang sat down, took off his wet shoes and baked them by the bonfire, and said while eating steamed buns: "I went to Xiaojue Temple and met the steward of their miscellaneous house, they want to prepare for the temple fair in Laba, and now they don't have enough manpower, saying that they don't have time to divide people to come over to do things." ”
"Oh!" The crowd understood.
Every year in Laba, a large-scale temple fair will be held in the square in front of Xiaojue Temple, and a large number of people come to the temple fair in Sanxiang Wuli and even in F County, even if it is Xiangyang Mansion, there will be many people who do business.
In fact, every year during the temple fair, Xiaojue Temple will be busy for a while, but it is not really busy for the temple fair, the reason why they are busy is that every year during the temple fair, there will always be big people coming, and the temple will have to engage in reception.
The people of Liujia Village basically know these things.
"Did I forget about it?" Rizheng sighed.
"The prince will also come this year?" Someone asked in a whisper.
"Come, come every year, I will definitely come today, I heard that the prince is in good health, and it is certain that the incense in the temple will be incense." After Li Zheng finished speaking, he frowned a little.
No one came to Xiaojue Temple, what should I do with the funeral presided over by Watara?
Liu Yuanshan didn't know about the temple fair, and after asking the people around him for a long time, he knew that the prince they were talking about was Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang.
"That's right!" Liu Xiangyang said again: "The steward of the miscellaneous affairs institute also said that the thirty acres of dry land under the name of Qianning Temple will be taken back together with this temple, and Xiaojue Temple will be taken back, and he will say that he will not have to go to Xiaojue Temple for the rest of his life and a registered disciple who is not Xiaojue Temple, so it is good to return it to the vulgar!" ”
"These monks are also greedy for money!" Li Zheng snorted and shook his head, this thing was originally from Xiaojue Temple, and there was nothing wrong with taking it back. As for life and one, although the disposal of Xiaojue Temple is not close to people, it is also reasonable.
But there is one thing that makes Liu Yuanshan and Li Zheng very dissatisfied, that is, the old monk is not allowed to return to the burial.
In the words of the steward of the miscellaneous courtyard: "The six roots of the monks are pure, and the Xiaojue Temple is quite far away from the Qianning Temple, so the bones of the crossing will be buried on the spot!" ”
"This monk is hateful!" Liu Yuanshan snorted coldly and said, "They are preparing for the visit of the nobles in Laba, so they don't have time to deal with the funeral of Master Duyuan." ”
"That's pretty much what it means!" Liu Xiangyang sighed and said: "I talked to the steward of Xiaojue Temple for a long time today, and the monk was very difficult to speak, so I almost let the little novice in the temple beat me out with a stick." ”
"What?" Li Zheng was reluctant to hear it, and said: "Xiaojue Temple has a good reputation, how can they do this?" ”
"Hehe, those monks, spend a lot of incense money all day long, nothing good to eat and drink, and now all the noses and eyes are in the sky!" Liu Xiangyang was very dissatisfied, and it was estimated that he was not less angry when he went to Xiaojue Temple in the afternoon.
Liu Yuanshan said: "Xiaojue Temple doesn't know about the master being framed, right? ”
"I don't know yet!"
"Then it's going to be fast!" Liu Yuanshan said: "They didn't want Master Duyuan to be buried in Tallinn, the mountain behind Xiaojue Temple, if this matter reached Xiaojue Temple, it would be difficult for them to find this reason." ”
"Yes, Saburo is right!" Li Zhengdao: "The temple and thirty acres of dry land of Qianning Temple, if he wants to take it back, he will take it back for him, this is a small matter, and the posthumous affairs of Master Duyuan are big things." Xiangyang, you go to Xiaojue Temple tomorrow and talk to them, you must get them to agree, otherwise it will be difficult to do! ”
Duyuan didn't have any requirements for everyone, except that he hoped to be buried in Xiaojue Temple Tallinn after his death, and Li Zheng felt that he must fulfill the last wish of Master Duyuan, not only because of the twenty-year friendship, but also because Master Duyuan really died because of the people of Liujia Village.
"Okay!" Liu Xiangyang had no choice but to agree.
Everyone talked again, Liu Yuanshan felt sleepy, just at this time Liu Da and Liu Er came over and called him back to sleep, Liu Yuanshan felt that it was not good for him to go.
Li Zheng said: "San Lang, you are young, this kind of thing in the village is not your turn for the time being, Zhang Luo, you can go back to sleep first, don't let your mother worry!" ”
"Alright, I'll come back early tomorrow morning."
Liu Yuanshan said goodbye to his life, opened the door of the hall with two subordinates and went out.
As soon as the cold wind blew, fine snowflakes flew wildly, and a thin layer of white snow particles had been spread on the ground, and there was a glimmer of light in the dark night that could not be seen.
Liu Yuanshan wrapped his clothes, looked back at the brightly lit hall, and said, "Let's go, this ghost weather, it is estimated that there will be a heavy snowfall." ”
After speaking, he took Liu Da and Liu Er and the two of them to go back.
The next day, just after dawn, he got up again, opened the door and found that the snow had not stopped all night, and the ground was covered with a thick layer, and the trees outside the courtyard were covered with white.
Liu Da and Liu Er's family got up early to work, Sister-in-law Fan saw Liu Yuanshan get up, and hurriedly fetched a basin of hot water to serve, Liu Yuanshan simply washed his face, ate some breakfast, and returned to the temple at dawn.
The heavy snow did not stop for a whole day, Liu Xiangyang ignored the wind and snow, took another person on the road together, and went to Xiaojue Temple again. When I came back in the evening, I was almost freezing.
But the news brought in the end still made everyone's hearts cold: the temple still did not agree to cross the edge and bury it in Tallinn.
"Dad, don't forget it!" Liu Xiangyang said a little deflated: "This trip has also run away, and we can't help it if Xiaojue Temple doesn't agree, and Master Duyuan won't blame us if he knows it." ”
Two trips in two days, especially today, when he braved the wind and snow, Liu Xiangyang really didn't want to run a third trip.
Li Zheng was silent, the dry tobacco pouch rattled and clicked, and it took a long time to slap the table and say: "No, the old host has been in our Bald Mountain for 20 years, and he usually helps the village a lot, and I can't help but agree to this one wish." ”
"Didn't Xiaojue Temple disagree? Let's carry the old host on the road tomorrow, and we have to make him wish for anything! ”
"This ......" Liu Xiangyang was shocked and said: "Dad, the old host has passed away, so let's settle down as soon as possible." Besides, the day after tomorrow is Laba, and the prince will definitely come to the temple to offer incense, in case of collision, we can't afford to eat it. ”
"It's fine!" Li Zheng waved his hand: "Let's invite the Dharma body of the senior monk to return to the temple, and we are not doing anything to commit adultery, the prince is a reasonable person, and he will not blame us." ”
"This matter is settled, find a few more old men tomorrow, and let's go." Li Zheng shook his hand, no doubt.
