After seeing the authentic works of the famous master and drinking fragrant tea, Du Fu was very satisfied, and his thin face was rippling with satisfied joy, but Li Zaixing's mood was a little heavy, like a big stone pressing on his heart, and he couldn't be happy.

For him, these authentic works of Wu Daozi and Wang Wei will soon be destroyed, and even the entire Bodhi Temple will be reduced to ashes, and he doesn't know when this day will come, but it will definitely come.

For the first time, Li Zaixing felt that knowing the future was actually not a good thing, and it invisibly added a lot of troubles.

Returning to the West Courtyard, saying goodbye to Du Fu, not long after returning to his room, the little monk Zhiyuan pushed the door in again, showing an innocent and bright smile: "Uncle Shi, my master invites you to go." ”

Juehui is on the bell tower of the west courtyard. When Li Zaixing walked up to the bell tower, Juehui was standing in front of the window, looking down on Chang'an City. The wide back image is a wall, blending with the black shadow of the building, and it is difficult to distinguish if you don't look carefully.

"Senior brother?"

"Senior brother, I'm here." Juehui turned around and beckoned, his side face like a layer of pale gold plated under the light shining in from the window.

Before Li Zaixing walked up, Zhiyuan quietly went downstairs, and he would guard the door of the building.

"Senior brother, come, take a look at Chang'an City." Juehui pulled Li Zaixing to the window and said softly.

Li Zaixing looked out, only to see a brilliant light under his feet, connected in the near distance, like the Milky Way, and dotted with stars in the distance, like stars. The entire Chang'an City is like a sea of stars, full of brilliant starlight, illuminating the eyes brightly.

"That's Xingqing Palace." Juehui pointed to a cloud of light in the distance: "The Son of Heaven has just returned from Lishan, and now he lives there." He pointed closer, "That's where the three miles are, and it's the liveliest place for the next few months." Finally, he looked at the brightly lit mansion at his feet: "Here, but it is the brightest place in the whole Chang'an." ”

Li Zaixing was silent. He was wondering what Juehui meant. He came to Chang'an, not to travel, but to find out his own life experience. The master knew this, so he let him come to Bodhi Temple to spend the night. Before he met Juehui, he didn't know that his master, the lazy monk, turned out to be the Sokcho master of Bodhi Temple, and there was also a disciple who served as one of the three outlines of Bodhi Temple. He didn't know if this was the master's intentional arrangement, and Juehui in front of him didn't know his intention.

Now, Juehui mentioned the emperor in Xingqing Palace and Li Linfu, could it be that he was hinting at something?

Li Zaixing thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Senior brother, when will the master arrive?" ”

"The master is coming?" Juehui's eyes suddenly lit up, and his joy overflowed.

Li Zaixing sighed, saying this, Juehui didn't know the whereabouts of his master at all, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited. In other words, Juehui probably didn't know the inside story, and he was a little allergic.

"I don't know." Li Zaixing said perfunctorily: "I left the Prajna Temple, he can also travel, maybe he will come to the Bodhi Temple." ”

Juehui let out a disappointed sigh, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Senior brother, you...... You know what I mean? ”

Li Zaixing smiled, he has been in this world for eight years, although he has not read any books, but he has practiced with his master every day, and he also has a lot of time to reflect on the knowledge of his previous life, think about his future, and he is not slow to observe these words.

"Senior brother is saying that Li Linfu has a great influence on Bodhi Temple?"

"The junior brother is worthy of being the master's most beloved disciple, and all six things have wisdom roots." Juehui rubbed his hands with emotion: "Yes, looking at the entire Chang'an, Li Linfu is the person who has the greatest influence on Bodhi Temple. If you have lived in the temple for a few years, you should know that usually the bell tower of the temple is in the east courtyard. ”

Li Zaixing nodded. In the architectural layout of the temple, the monks of the temple all live in the east courtyard, and the west courtyard is the guest courtyard, which is usually to receive the traveling monks or lay guests who come to place orders, and the bell tower is more convenient to build in the east courtyard. The bell tower of Bodhi Temple was built in the west courtyard, which is somewhat unusual.

"Because our east is Li Linfu's main residence, and the west courtyard is the guest courtyard and the garden, and there are some concubines who have been left out in the cold."

Li Zaixing suddenly realized. Originally, the bell tower was built in the west courtyard in violation of the convention, not because it was a maverick, but because Li Linfu was unwilling to let the monks of the Bodhi Temple condescend to see the situation in his home, so the Bodhi Temple had to build the bell tower in the west courtyard. He heard Du Fu say that the Bodhi Temple was built in the Sui Dynasty, not to mention Li Linfu at that time, Li Linfu's grandfather didn't know where to mix, the bell tower was naturally built in the east courtyard, and now it is built in the west courtyard, I am afraid that it will be after Li Linfu moved in.

In other words, the heavenly gods and Buddhas could not handle the power of the earthly world, so the bell tower of Bodhi Temple had to be rebuilt in the west courtyard - perhaps forced to tear down the original bell tower. Going deeper, Li Linfu decided the life and death of Bodhi Temple.

"Senior brother is under a lot of pressure?"

"yes, I'm under a lot of pressure." Juehui sighed: "The temple wants to flatter Li Linfu, and every year when he celebrates his birthday, he has to hold a Buddhist event to pray for him." This is probably more important than the Buddha Bathing Festival and the Bon Festival, although I, the Duvina, am not knowledgeable enough to preach the scriptures, but I have to worry about all kinds of miscellaneous matters. If there is a slight mistake, not only will there be trouble in the temple, but I, the Duvina, will also become the culprit. ”

Hearing this, Li Zaixing understood what Juehui meant.

"Senior brother, is there anything I can help with?"

Juehui smiled, looking very satisfied with Li Zaixing's initiative.

"If the junior brother is willing to help, of course it would be great." Juehui said with a smile: "If you want to protect the Bodhi Temple, you must be qualified to do Buddhist things for Li Linfu." In order to have this qualification, it is necessary to make the Bodhi Temple have enough prestige. Nowadays, there are more than 100 Buddhist temples in Chang'an City, large and small, and the competition is very strong. ”

Juehui gave a general explanation. There are many Buddhist temples in Chang'an, and there are more than one that is larger in scale and reputation than Bodhi Temple. Even in Pingkangfang, Bodhi Temple is not the only choice, Yanghua Temple has always wanted to compete with Bodhi Temple for this opportunity. In order to protect the monastery, the Bodhi Temple should expand its reputation as much as possible, and the most common way to protect the fame is to use various festivals to do Buddhist things to attract people to come and watch, or to hold up some miraculous monks, such as Sokcho monks and other sacred monks.

In addition to various Buddhist festivals, each temple has the characteristics of each temple, and one of the biggest features of Bodhi Temple is that there will be lectures every eight days, and many people will come to see it, especially prostitutes. The prostitutes in Pingkangfang are second to none in the whole of Chang'an, and they cost a lot of money, and not everyone can see them casually. They are very strict and rarely go out on weekdays, and the Bodhi Temple lectures on the eighth day are their most important release time. Whenever possible, they would come to Bodhi Monastery to come and give lectures.

For those who don't have enough capital to walk into a brothel, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to get up close and personal with them. When prostitutes come, they attract a lot of scholars, and when scholars come, they attract more people, even dignitaries and their families. This year's imperial examination has just been released, and it is the most lively time, so the next few lectures are very important.

It's a good opportunity, but it's also a problem. There are many female dependents who come, it is inevitable that there will be prodigal people fishing in the water, there are many people, and there are naturally many scoundrels who steal and make trouble, and it is inevitable to fight and make trouble, and it may even cause death. Once someone dies, Juehui, the Du Vina, will be in big trouble.

Juehui asked Li Zaixing for help, hoping to use his strong martial arts to maintain order and avoid major incidents.

Li Zaixing said: "Please give me the command, I must go all out." ”

Juehui bowed slightly, and said: "There is a martial arts field in the temple, and some monks have been trained, and the deacon headed by it is called Zhigao. He didn't have much ability, but he relied on being a close confidant of the throne and thought very highly of himself. The first few lectures because of his poor control, something happened and almost killed him. If he is still in charge, I am afraid that the reputation of Bodhi Temple will be ruined by him. ”

Li Zaixing smiled, and his heart said that this Buddhist temple is not full of monks, and there are many things to fight for power and profit. As one of the three outlines, Juehui probably doesn't have a good deal with the head of the three outlines, and the one named Zhigao doesn't take Juehui seriously, so Juehui has to find himself to deal with him.

It's not about who is right or who is wrong in this matter, since he is Juehui's junior brother, he naturally has to stand on Juehui's side and go against that Zhigao. Compared with these things in the Bodhi Temple, he valued the opportunity for the monks of the Bodhi Temple to have the opportunity to enter Li Linfu's house. If you want to kill Li Linfu and eliminate harm for the people, this is not a good opportunity.

"Senior brother, I'll go to the martial arts field tomorrow to have a look."

"Okay, I'll leave it to my junior brother." Juehui smiled with satisfaction: "Although Du Fu is not very useful, the poems are really well written, and he is a distant branch of the Jingzhao Du clan, and there are many connections between various families. Being able to be friends with him is also the creation of his junior brother. ”

Li Zaixing also smiled. This is an exchange of interests, he helps Juehui solve Zhigao, Juehui solves Du Fu's livelihood problem, and sells personal favors for him.

The two looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

The matter was decided, Li Zaixing and Juehui gossiped for a while and went downstairs together. When he walked out of the bell tower, Li Zaixing raised his head, glanced at the top of the tower, frowned, and said goodbye to Juehui at the gate of the west courtyard.

After they left, two figures floated in through the window and stood where they had just stood. One figure is tall and burly, the other figure is slender and weak, but the footsteps are the same and silent.

"He seems to have discovered something." A slender voice said.

"Of course, he is my most proud disciple, and his six senses are very comparable." A deep voice sounded in the bell tower, even if it was very low, it was still comparable to the big bell hanging aside: "This kid is a martial arts idiot, I didn't practice martial arts as much as he did back then." In my opinion, it is very likely that he will practice the Pulp Cleansing Sutra and cultivate the Vajra body. I don't know if you have such a beautiful jade in your Daomen. ”

"Phew! The shameless stinky monk is obviously copying my Taoist guidance technique, but he says that it is a secret technique of Buddhism. The slender voice paused, and said a little unconvinced: "Don't worry, my Dao Sect has never lacked wizards." ”
