Before the arrival of the day, Yuanhang waited at the south gate with Ah Jin and Dao Zi. After waiting for half an hour, I saw the princess's warm sedan chair coming from the city, and she sailed forward to meet her and knelt on the side of the road.

Eight palace maids, sixteen soldiers, and dozens of men in strong clothes were followed by the sedan chair, and the warm sedan chair was protected on both sides of the street. A palace maid attached to the sedan chair and whispered, and the princess's crisp voice came from the sedan chair.

"You will retreat from the subordinates, and you will follow aside, and you will not leave, and then you will set off."

"The little people obey." Yuanhang didn't dare to say much, and ordered Dao Zi and the two to follow from afar, and got up and followed the sedan chair out of the city.

Ten miles outside the city, there is a mountain named Longyin, all because when the founding emperor of the Liang State Tianyuan Emperor conquered, he had hidden soldiers here, so he gave the name of this mountain as Longyin.

Fu Hao, the son of Emperor Tianyuan, traveled to the mountains and built Longyin Temple in the name of this. It was an unintentional move, but he was mistaken by Emperor Tianyuan for him to imply that he was the emperor of the future, and in his anger, he imprisoned Fu Hao in Longyin Temple, which really outweighed the loss. That's the reason, Tian Yuan is the emperor, and it makes sense to give the name Long Yin. You are a prince, but you also use your name here, aren't you asking for hardship?

A line of ten miles, the voyage followed by the sedan car miserable. The scorching sun is in the sky, the sun is like fire, and he is already tired and half dead just by walking, not to mention that he has to accompany the person in the sedan chair to talk non-stop.

"Did you eat well yesterday?" ……

"Did you sleep last night?" The Nine Princesses chattered endlessly, and the voyage felt that this road was familiar. Now that she has become a Tang monk, she is suffering to learn the scriptures.

Finally, I reached the bottom of the mountain, and with some trees in the shade, I felt a little cooler. Although the mountains are silent, they have sounds. A stream runs from top to bottom, and the murmuring sound plays a quiet tune. Yuanhang stopped, picked up a handful of stream water and washed his face. Turn your head to look, the stone steps meander up, the winding path leads to the secluded, straight into the forest, I don't know how far there is, you can reach the Longyin Temple.

The warm sedan car stopped, and the ninth princess walked out slowly with the support of the palace maid.

The princess wears a phoenix crown on her head, dressed in a red robe, her hands are like softness, her skin is like clotted fat, and her white and tender skin is about to burst. The cheeks are slightly reddened, the eyebrows are trimmed, and the lips are dyed. Seeing Yuanhang's heartbeat, I didn't expect Princess Yanjiu to dress up and be so beautiful. Especially the skin, it's too tender, like a baby of a few years old, I don't know how it will feel to the touch.

"What are you doing standing stupidly? Lead the way ahead. Seeing him staring at herself in a daze, the ninth princess became a little shy and scolded him.

"Yes." The voyage replied, turning and walking up the steps. The ninth princess smiled lightly, raised a broken step and followed.

Only a few stone steps had been raised, and the princess shouted behind her. "Stop, stop, rest."

Yuanhang turned around on it and shouted downward, "Princess, you will rest at the beginning, when will you arrive at the temple?" ”

The ninth princess gasped slightly, raised her head and frowned, and said, "How did I know that I was so tired. ”

Yuanhang secretly screamed in his heart for trouble, but he couldn't help it, she was a princess. Remembering that there was a sedan chair man idle in the forest below the mountain, he ran down and said beside the princess: "Princess, it is better to send someone to the bottom of the mountain and ask the sedan chair man to carry you up the mountain, wouldn't it be light." ”

"The sedan chair is so big, how can you get up?" The Ninth Princess asked.

Yuanhang turned his head, pointed down the mountain, and replied, "This princess doesn't know, the sedan chair that carries people up the mountain is soliciting business in the forest. ”

The ninth princess looked down and said, "However, the imperial brother said that he must be pious, and he can only walk up the mountain. ”

Yuanhang sneered for a moment, leaned closer to his ear and said, "If the princess doesn't say it, who dares to talk nonsense." So close, a scent entered his nose, and Yuanhang took a deep breath.

"That's right." The ninth princess stretched out her slender hand and tapped his forehead, her phoenix eyes narrowed into a line, and said with a smile: "It's still your tricks." He turned around and put away his smile and commanded: "Go down the mountain quickly and let the sedan bearer come up." ”

"I want two sedan chairs." Yuanhang hurriedly stretched his neck and shouted, the princess would not be stupid enough to climb the mountain in a sedan chair.

In a moment, the sedan bearer who carried the mountain came up and sailed ahead, followed by the princess, and the group continued their journey up the mountain.

After walking for half an hour, I finally reached the halfway point of the mountain. A spacious open space, a Zen temple in front, and the monks in front of the door were standing outside, waiting for the princess to arrive.

Yuanhang got down on the sedan chair and saw that the surroundings had been surrounded by soldiers, Guan Chundu and Li Mo stood aside, and faced an old monk who walked over alone.

The ninth princess, supported by the palace maid, got off the sedan chair and walked forward.

"The princess came to this temple and made the small temple flourish. I am the presiding officer of Longyin Temple, and I specially led the monks of the temple to greet the princess. The old monk was slightly fat, with a kind face, and two long eyebrows drooping to the corners of his eyes. Wearing a yellow robe, holding a Zen staff in his hand, he bowed with one hand and bent down.

"Amitabha." The monks in front of the temple followed Hongguang behind the presiding officer, bending down to give a salute.

"Master, please." The ninth princess stepped forward slowly, supported her, and said softly: "Now that the world is peaceful in Daliang, this princess came to your temple on behalf of the imperial brother to pray for incense, and I wish my Daliang country and the people are safe, and the people will have enough food and clothing." After speaking, he returned the salute for the host.

"Princess, please." The host dodged and gave way, and the ninth princess regained her cold color and entered the temple steadily. Yuanhang followed behind, nodded lightly to Guan Chundu and Li Mo, and followed.

Li Mo had already closed the mountain and closed the temple, and there was not a single guest in the entire temple. The host led the princess through the main entrance, then through the side hall, into the main hall, and stood sideways.

Sail into the hall and look up, there is a big Buddha in the main hall, this is knowing, it is Shakyamuni, more than two feet high.

The nine princesses bowed three times and bowed nine times, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and muttering something. Yuanhang originally didn't like the place of the temple, but seeing the piety of the princess, he couldn't help but think of his parents, walked a few steps, and knelt on the cushion beside the princess.

The Ninth Princess caught a glimpse of him kneeling beside her, and didn't say much. Yuanhang put his hands together and muttered in a low voice.

"Fathers, mothers, children are not filial." Yuanhang bowed and kowtowed, and continued: "I don't know if I can go back, the child blesses the second elder here, and I hope that the second elder will bless me, marry more wives, and everyone is as beautiful as a princess." ”

The ninth princess heard him muttering, her voice was too small to hear clearly, but when she heard the last sentence, she was as beautiful as a princess, and her heart immediately burst into joy, and she laughed lightly. It's just that I don't know that the princess that Yuanhang said is not her.

Getting up and going out to the outside of the palace, the princess deliberately chose a long incense stick to be enshrined in the incense burner. Yuanhang walked aside, took out the silver, and put it in the offering box. The host of Hongguang looked at the voyage for a moment, shouted to stop the voyage that had turned around, stepped forward, and bent down to salute.

"This donor, please stay for the time being."

Yuanhang turned around, pointed to himself, and asked, "Is the master calling me?" ”

"Exactly." Hongguang nodded in response, looking at him with a smile.

"What does the master have to say?" The voyage bent down to salute.

Hongguang circled around the voyage and asked, "I don't know where your lord is now?" ”

Yuanhang laughed dryly, made a round, sideways to avoid the princess, and said, "I have been dismissed from my official position, and now I am only a commoner. ”

Hongguang nodded with a smile and said, "Poor monks have never made mistakes. The donor's eyes are clear, and the light in his eyes is very comparable, and he must be a great achiever. Or the opportunity has not yet arrived, and one day, the donor will be famous, either rich or expensive. ”

After hearing this, Yuanhang smiled indifferently, and Shi Li said: "Borrow the master's auspicious words." "I don't believe it in my heart, but I just cheat some money out of it.

Host Hongguang didn't say anything more, smiled, turned around and stood back.

After the ninth princess bowed, she came over to give a light salute to the host of Hongguang, and said softly: "Please also ask the master to bless my beam, pray for blessings on behalf of the king every day, and the saint will come in person on the next day." ”

"Don't worry, princess, the old man will do it herself." Hongguang nodded in response.

The ninth princess walked out of the temple, turned around to stop the monks from sending each other, squinted her phoenix eyes, glanced at Yuanhang, and said lightly: "You come with me." ”

Yuanhang answered, and walked behind the princess. Princess Yanjiu drank the guards behind her and walked towards the forest.

"You've been dismissed?" The Ninth Princess stood under a pine tree and looked back at the voyage.

"This ...... Yes, princess. Yuanhang nodded in response.

The ninth princess only listened to his conversation with the host and learned that he had been dismissed from his official position, so when she asked, it was unexpectedly true.

"Why were you dismissed?"

Yuanhang's brain teaser is in a hurry, and he can't say why he was spared, and he can't figure out what kind of temper this princess is for the time being, but don't lose his life for this.

"Princess, don't mention the past." Yuanhang changed the topic and said: "This mountain is deep and dense, and I am afraid that there will be fierce beasts, so the princess should go back early." ”

"Brother Huang has always been very important to you, why did you revoke your official position?" The ninth princess ignored it, frowned, pondered for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said: "There is an old minister of the three dynasties in Qianling, whose name is Situ Zhongda. This time I came to Qianling, and the imperial brother asked me to visit. Tomorrow you will go with me, so that he may know your talents, and if he speaks for you, the royal brother will restore you to your official position. ”

"Ah......" The voyage was really crying and laughing, and I was surprised.

The Ninth Princess nodded at him and said, "That's it, after seeing Lord Situ, you go back to the back hall with me, and I will plead with the imperial brother." As if he was shy, he peeked and turned out of the woods.

The voyage followed out of the woods, and everyone went down the mountain in a sedan chair. Seeing Ah Jin and Dao Zi waiting for him at the foot of the mountain, thinking that the princess was going to Situ Mansion tomorrow, how should he deal with it? At the moment, he had a plan, looking for an opportunity to call Ah Jin, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the house quickly and inform a few young grandmothers, pack up the package, and go on the road later." ”

Ah Jin nodded, turned on his horse, and took a shortcut from the forest and hurried back.

The princess's sedan chair returned to the city and stopped in front of the county guard's mansion, and the ninth princess shouted to the voyage and said, "Tomorrow you will come to the yamen early and wait for me." ”

"The little people obey." Yuanhang bent over and said, but he was thinking in his heart, and there was nothing he could do, so he had only one last plan, and he went up.

The Ninth Princess turned around and smiled lightly and asked, "If you have nowhere to live, you can stay here." ”

Yuanhang shook his head again and again, and said, "Don't dare to disturb the princess, see you tomorrow." ”

The ninth princess Zhang Yan didn't say anything more, walked in, stood inside the door, and smiled back at the voyage.

Back at Situ Mansion, everyone had packed up, and after saying goodbye to several elders, he got into the carriage and ordered people to leave the city immediately and gallop in the direction of Jingzhou.
