The Daxiong Treasure Hall dedicated to the Third Buddha is silent, and only the little novice on duty lights candles and offers sesame oil.

Tongtai Temple is built according to Jilong Mountain, and the highest place is the Medicine Pagoda, which can overlook the Black Dragon Pond farther away. The temple is extremely large-scale, and the courtyards are heavy, which can accommodate countless monks. Today, the temple is quiet as usual, and the monks and others are doing their own thing. The only difference is the corridor under the Medicine Stupa that is connected with verandahs.

The people in this courtyard can be said to be lay believers, and they can also be said to be not vulgar in the world. But since they are gathered here, they have all received the tacit approval of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang. Maybe they don't know each other, but it's quite strange when you talk about it.

The early winter days of Jiankang are not very cold, especially on this day, the warm sun is warm, there is no wind, and the direct light is very comfortable, even lazy. The sky was blue, there was not a single cloud at all, it seemed so translucent. This half-subtle and half-clear winter in the south of the Yangtze River and the north wind in the winter of Luoyang are very different from the strong and bitter wind.

When Gao Cheng walked into the corridor courtyard with the monk Dharma, he found the difference between Jiankang and Luoyang in winter.

Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang still tied his hair and wore a yellow praise robe that was not tied and not vulgar. He sat in the verandah of the north room, watching the Dharma Master and Gao Cheng in a hair-tied man's costume slowly enter from afar, and he couldn't see what his expression was. Next to Xiao Yan's seat, a young man stood behind him. The young man is similar to Gao Cheng's age, he was born extremely heroic, his eyes are blazing, he is dressed in Han costume and is dignified and elegant, and he is very magnificent. Looking at the behavior, Emperor Liang Xiao Yan is very close to the young man. The young man smiled slightly, looking at the monks and laymen who were approaching from afar.

"Ah Hua, who do you think this high monk Bodhidharma is?" Xiao Yan casually turned his head and asked the young man behind him.

"Your Majesty, since you are a high monk, you are naturally a monk." The young man replied.

If you talk about it, this young man is not from a high background. His name is Chen Qian, and Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang calls his cousin, Zihua. Chen Qian's father is just one of Xiao Yan's nephews, Taishou of Xinyu Hou Xiao Ying, named Chen Baxian. Chen Baxian was born in a very humble background, and was promoted because of Xiao Ying's appreciation. When he met Xiao Yingjin by chance, his son Chen Qian was very popular because he was in favor of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang. Chen Baxian also won Xiao Yanqing's eyes because of the same respect for Buddhism. Therefore, Chen Baxian had the opportunity to often bring his son into the palace. In this grand event of Dharma propagation, it is natural that he will also receive a grace.

The five people standing behind Xiao Yan had different scenes.

Gao Cheng's eyesight was excellent, and he saw a person walking up behind Emperor Xiao Yan from a distance, and it seemed that he had met before.

Outside the west corridor, Hou Jing and Yu Wentai hid behind the bushes, and followed Gao Cheng who walked in behind Bodhidharma with great concern.

"Puyang County is really broad-minded. Although this king of Linhe County once surrendered to Wei, he was not familiar with the duke, so I don't know why the duke got acquainted with him? Yu Wentai said as he glanced at the person beside Xiao Yan again. If there was no secret arrangement by this person, he and Hou Jing would not be able to enter Tongtai Temple at this time.

This person stood at an old age and was dressed very gorgeously, which seemed to be a little too conspicuous compared to the corridor in the Tongtai Temple and the current scene. He was born long and tall, and when he got closer, he saw that he was very beautiful, but his behavior was somewhat frivolous and an indescribable indignation, as if he wanted to provoke. Looking at him like this, it seems that he intends to show the difference in his identity, and with Xiao Yan's delicate and meticulous mind, he actually allows himself to indulge this person as if no one else is around, and he knows that his identity is indeed very valuable.

The king of Linhe County is named Xiao Zhengde, and he should be Xiao Yan's eldest son, but he was originally an uncle and nephew and passed on to Xiao Yan. At that time, Xiao Yan had no children and had not established himself as emperor. On the contrary, after succeeding Xiao Zhengde, he finally won the throne, and he got eight parents and children in a row. And the deceased Zhaoming prince Xiao Tong is the eldest son of Xiao Yan's relatives. Although Xiao Zhengde did not return to his sect again, he would never get the right to inherit the throne that he thought should belong to him in his heart.

"I know General Yuwen well, and I'm not afraid of jokes. The town soldiers don't know what the royal road and domineering are, but the so-called hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Hou Jing still stared at Gao Cheng and answered Yu Wentai's question at the same time.

Yu Wentai's mind turned quickly, but he didn't answer Hou Jing again.

The monk Bodhidharma smiled at the dough, and still stepped forward steadily in his old clothes and shoes. No one could have imagined that such a great monk would be so simple, so modest and casual. It seems to be mundane, but it can be attracted at a glance from the crowd of thousands of people, and it is unforgettable, not just the appearance and posture.

When he got closer, Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang suddenly recognized him, it was the monk he saw last night, and Gao Cheng, the prince of the Bohai King of Gao Huan, the great prime minister of Wei in the Northern Dynasty, actually served behind him, and it actually looked like he was inheriting the mantle, which made Xiao Yan even more surprised.

Chen Qian felt extremely sensitive that the emperor seemed to be very shaken, and subconsciously straightened up, as if to increase his attention. And his father, Xiao Yan's little Taishou Chen Baxian was also the first to notice this. Chen Baxian's mind was not on any senior monk, but only on Xiao Yan.

"What monk? But that's it. Xiao Zhengde whispered indignantly to Emperor Liang Xiao Yan.

Gao Cheng suddenly remembered Xiao Zhengde and was shocked. How could you forget this person? It's no wonder that Xiao Zhengde was still young when he rebelled against Liang and entered Wei, so he didn't remember it when he first saw him just now. At this time, Fang was worried, and he didn't know if Xiao Zhengde recognized him. It's just that he didn't panic, but moved forward steadily with Bodhidharma more steadily and appropriately.

"Unreasonable." Xiao Yan didn't need to look at it to know who was making a big fuss here, it was Xiao Zhengde, the "eldest son" who always gave him a headache and always asked him to protect his shortcomings. Listening to this slow, deliberately long tone, it was clear that he was admonishing, but his tone was gentle, without a hint of rebuke.

"Brother, don't be too aggressive, in my opinion, although this Bodhidharma monk is not good-looking, he has some Buddha spirit." The prince Xiao Gang, who is still standing behind Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang, is really a pure-hearted Buddhist disciple.

Hou Jing and Yu Wentai in the shadows subconsciously noticed Xiao Gang at the same time. The crown prince Xiao Gang is the father of the princess Xiao Qiongju, and he doesn't seem to be very old.

"General Yuwen, I heard that the prince is as elegant as Emperor Liang, and he is even more good at poetry and music, even more than his father." Hou Jing couldn't help but whisper to Yu Wentai, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Gang.

"The prince of Puyang County knows a lot." Yu Wentai suddenly withdrew his gaze from Xiao Gang, and people couldn't tell whether they glanced at Hou Jing intentionally or unintentionally.

"See the smile, see the laugh......" Hou Jing dealt with Yu Wentai unconsciously.

"Prince!" Xiao Zhengde suddenly raised his voice, turned to Xiao Gang, his appearance was exaggerated, and moved a few steps from behind Emperor Xiao Yan to Xiao Gang's side. "Third brother, you are compassionate to the Buddha and have always been benevolent, and you may not know everything about this."

Xiao Gang just smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Yan didn't seem to hear it.

Chen Baxian, who was standing on the very edge, argued with the general Wang Seng on his side, and only the official Shangshu Yang Kan between the prince Xiao Gang and Wang Seng couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "The prince doesn't know, does King Linhe know?" Yang Kan kept standing still when he spoke, didn't even look at Xiao Zhengde, and kept staring at Dharma and Gao Cheng, who had come closer.

The sheep is bearded, the appearance is very grim, and a pair of eyes are both large and blazing, which is quite deterrent.

"Yang Shangshu, you ......" Xiao Zhengde was a little polite to him, he didn't dare to be willful, he didn't know what he wanted to say, but he still didn't say it.

Hou Jing sighed secretly, "This is really a general." I didn't hear Yuwentai answer, and I turned my head inadvertently, but Yuwentai frowned thoughtfully. Hou Jing woke up in his heart, and when he recalled that Yang Kan was Yang Shunhua's father, he couldn't help but smile, "General Yuwen......" He wanted to tease, but Yuwen Tai's eyes were cold, and for some reason this person always made him feel afraid in his heart. Even if it's just a little bit of it, and it's hidden deeply, it's still impossible to ignore.

Gao Cheng also figured out which was the crown prince Xiao Gang and which was the official Shangshu Yang Kan in Xiao Zhengde's restless performance. He looked at the appearance of these two people in his heart, and compared Xiao Qiongju and Yang Shunhua, he only felt that it was particularly interesting.

Cui Jishu, who was standing under the corridor on the east side, was clear about his mind about his lord Gao Cheng. He couldn't help but smile, and unconsciously whispered to himself, "Shizi, Shizi, see how you can get by today?" ”

"Cui Jishu!" Chen Yuankang couldn't help but let out a low cry and stopped Cui Jishu, who was already formless. Chen Yuankang was thoughtful, and at the moment he was very focused on the many important people in the corridor, and he really couldn't be distracted, but he couldn't control Cui Jishu's gaffe at all. The two of them had no one to respond, and Cui Jishu was very careful to dodge the guards, sergeants, monks, and all kinds of people under the leadership of Chen Yuankang before he finally sneaked to the corridor courtyard. Chen Yuankang was only afraid that the situation would be unfavorable to Gao Cheng, but in fact, he was already very nervous at this time.

The senior monk Bodhidharma walked in front of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang with a smile on his face and said, "Are the laymen okay?" ”

Gao Cheng stood behind and also performed the namaste.

Xiao Yan also had a calm face, got up and performed the namaste, and said with a smile, "The ancestor has returned to the Liang country from afar, and the true ancestor of the Buddha world here has returned." With the patriarch presiding here, the Liang country must be peaceful and peaceful. ”

At this moment, whether it was really standing under the north corridor or hidden in the side corridors on both sides, almost everyone focused their attention on this Bodhidharma monk who came from afar. Even the princesses Xiao Qiongju and Yang Shunhua, who have not come out of the house in the north corridor. It's just that at this time, the two have the same mind but different shapes. Yang Shunhua's face was as cold as ever, and she held her sword tightly in her hand, because she had lost her blood color because she had used too much force. The little princess Xiao Qiongju looked at Gao Cheng outside unabashedly and completely obliviously from the slightly open window.

"This world is the Buddha country of laymen, not the world of my Buddha. And besides, you and I can't stay in the world for a long time, the separation of today, the separation of different days, there is always separation and separation, where does the real place come from? Bodhidharma still laughed at the dough, as if the laughter was not true, and it seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Gao Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

Xiao Qiongju in the room looked at him stunned, and couldn't help muttering to herself, "Why is he?" ”
