Daxiangguo Temple is worthy of being the largest temple in Bianjing, and there are many believers who come to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple, and today it seems that there are many people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lin Yi walked in the temple for a while, and then heard a man in his thirties beside him and his companion say, "Hey! Brother Zhang, you've heard about it! There was a miracle at Daxiangguo Temple last night! ”

Brother Zhang smiled: "Brother Li, I heard early in the morning, it is said that a stone statue of Maitreya Buddha in the Great Xiangguo Temple appeared last night, and actually wrote on his chest 'Maitreya Yongchang, Pudu sentient beings' eight big characters, the most bizarre thing is that these eight big characters are actually spelled out by ants, the monks in the temple are afraid that the court will know the punishment, and hurriedly splash it with water, after the ants are washed away, which eight words are hidden in the stone, and the stone statue becomes one. Now I am in a hurry to worship and pray that Maitreya Buddha will bless my children and grandchildren with prosperity and a safe life! With that, the two of them hurried towards a courtyard.

Yikes! Daxiangguo Temple is the dojo of Maitreya Buddha, the place where Buddhism is prosperous, there are swaggering gods and deceitful men here to pretend to be gods and ghosts to deceive people, it is really strange! Lin Yi suddenly became interested, and followed the flow of people and walked towards the courtyard.

After passing through two or three courtyards full of flowers, Lin Yi walked into a wide courtyard, only to see that in the center of the courtyard, there was a stone statue more than two feet high, the carving was very realistic and delicate, on the chest of the Buddha, it was indeed written 'Maitreya Yongchang, Pudu sentient beings' eight big characters, at this time some ants had climbed up again, densely recomposed on the eight characters.

"What a miracle!" Beside Lin Yi, a believer in his fifties muttered in his mouth, walked over with excitement on his face, knelt down to kowtow to the stone statue, and there were fifty or sixty people who knelt and kowtowed with him, and more than two hundred people worshiped the stone statue and stood next to watch the excitement.

Lin Yi squeezed into the crowd, looked around, and only heard a young man in his twenties beside him muttering softly: "Maitreya Buddha is so holy, isn't it because the emperor is unreasonable, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are not living well, so he issued a decree to change the dynasty?" ”

The person next to him responded: "No, if you change the emperor, maybe our people can live a better life." ”

"Shhhh You don't want to die, you are talking about the government and politics here, beware of the people of Qinglongwei arresting you and going to prison! The other man next to them admonished.

No way! Someone is secretly spreading dissatisfaction with the emperor and the imperial court, isn't this inciting people to follow the Maitreya people to rebel? Lin Yi looked at it for a while, after all, it was nothing to do, hung it high, looked at the stone statue carefully for a while, and thought about the reason, his face showed disdain, he snorted coldly in his nose, turned around and left, just took a few steps, and suddenly felt that he was gently patted on the shoulder.

Lin Yi hurriedly turned around and took a closer look, but it was a thin old man in his fifties, with a very elegant appearance, wearing a green robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and was staring at him with his eyes, and there was a person standing next to him, but it was Zhou Bangjie who he met when he was in Li Xue Binglan Bamboo Garden.

Lin Yi hurriedly dodged and saluted: "Uncle, Lord Zhou, hello, why have you also heard about miracles?" Walk over and see the excitement? ”

The old man smiled: "Not bad! This is a miracle that occurs once in a thousand years, how can we not come to take a look, but you, a petty official, why do you have a disdainful look on your face, and you don't want to pay homage, you want to leave! ”

Lin Yi glanced around, and saw that he had walked outside the crowd, and no one noticed him, so he lowered his voice and said to the old man: "Uncle, these are just some tricks to deceive people!" It's not a miracle at all, but someone is pretending to be a ghost and deceiving the believers, I advise you and Lord Zhou not to worship, go back early! ”

The old man's eyes lit up, he took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's arm, and said excitedly, "What? Little brother, do you see the trick? Tell me about it! ”

Lin Yi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly thought to himself: "There are hundreds of people here, maybe there are people from the Maitreya Sect mixed in them, if I tell the reason in public, it will ruin their good deeds, and I can't cause them to retaliate against themselves?" If you are weak, how can you be the opponent of the Maitreya Sect with all the power in the world? So he stopped talking, looked around, turned and walked away again.

The old man gave Zhou Bangjie a look, and the two walked a few steps closely, and then followed Lin Yi and walked out together. The three of them walked through two small courtyards and came to a secluded courtyard, Zhou Bangjie rushed a few steps, caught up with Lin Yi and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, there is no one else now, can you say it?" ”

Lin Yi didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, I am not called Wang Shi, but Lin Yi, that Wang Shi is the pseudonym I used when I was in Yangzhou Mansion. ”

Zhou Bangjie hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Oh! It turned out to be Lin Gongzi, disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

Lin Yi greeted him and asked, "Lord Zhou, have you ever seen my Sister Li today?" ”

Zhou Bangjie was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Are you talking about Miss Li Xuebing?" ”

Lin Yi nodded hurriedly and smiled: "Exactly, exactly!" I'm looking for her today for something. ”

Zhou Bangjie and the old man glanced at each other, and the old man smiled and said: "Lin Gongzi asked just in time, we came to Daxiangguo Temple with Miss Li Xuebing, she just participated in the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and first went to the Hongyun Restaurant outside the temple to wait for us, since Lin Gongzi knows her, you can go with us." ”

Lin Yi was overjoyed, thanked the old man, and the three of them walked out of the Great Xiangguo Temple together.

Hongyun Restaurant is not far from Daxiangguo Temple, the building is very magnificent, and there are many guests who come in and out. The old man led Lin Yi to the door of Hongyun Restaurant, pointed upstairs, and said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi, Miss Li is on the third floor, let's go up and see her." With that, he led Lin Yi all the way up to the third floor, pushed open the door of a private room, and invited Lin Yi in.

Lin Yi walked inside to look, and sure enough, he saw Li Xuebing sitting at a large round table, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand and drinking it quietly, and there were two maids standing beside her to serve.

"Sister Li, hello!" Lin Yi greeted her with a bright smile on his face.

Li Xuebing glanced back at him, as if she had seen something she shouldn't see, sank her face, sneered, and said, "So it's you?" Wang Shi, who made me so miserable, how do you want to harm me now? ”

Lin Yi was surprised: "Sister Li, you are the goddess in my heart, when have I ever harmed you?" ”

Li Xuebing glanced at him and said coldly, "You still say no?" Let me ask you, do you have a newspaper called Bianjing Daily, which specializes in the romance of the Oiran ladies in Beijing? ”

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and he said suspiciously: "Yes! In order to take care of Sister Li's innocent reputation, I don't have an article mentioning Sister Li! ”

Li Xuebing said angrily: "The bad thing is that you never mentioned me." Now, my limelight has been stolen by other Oiran girls in the capital, causing my Lanzhuyuan guests to be ninety percent less than in the past, and even the basic expenses are almost impossible to earn. ”

I see! Originally, I wanted to please Sister Li, but I didn't expect that Sister Li had no business to do, Lin Yi smiled apologetically, and apologized: "Sister Li, this is really my unintentional mistake, I will make up for it tomorrow, ask two beautiful reporters to interview you, write three interviews, and publish them on the front page, you will definitely be able to make you popular again and your business will prosper." ”

Li Xuebing hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Forget it!" It's not that I haven't read any newspaper of yours, and it's full of some romances of Oiran ladies, what three men in the life of Wang Oiran! The white feet of the Oiran! Zhang Huakui's glamorous dance! I'm afraid that if you report on me three times, your innocent reputation will be ruined, and I won't even be able to marry a good man in the future. ”

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, but he didn't know what to do for a while!

Li Xuebing ignored him anymore, walked up to the old man and bowed, and said in a coquettish voice: "Prime Minister, have you seen miracles?" ”

What the? He turned out to be Wang Bo, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Lin Yi was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Zhou Bangjie said on the side: "Lin Yi, don't hurry up and salute Lord Wang. ”

Lin Yi came to his senses, hurriedly bowed to Wang Bo, and said in his mouth: "Lin Yi doesn't know that he is the Prime Minister, he is offended, please forgive me!" ”

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Young Master Lin doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and talk." As he spoke, he pulled Lin Yi to sit down at the round table, looked at him with his eyes, and asked with a smile, "How old is Lin Gongzi?" Where are the people? Have you ever gone to school? ”

For such a bigwig-level figure, Lin Yi naturally didn't dare to offend, and besides, our newspaper business will rely on others a lot in the future! After thinking for a while, he said: "I was originally a monk from Xiaolin Temple in the lower courtyard of Baolin Temple, whose name was Jingxin, and because his Zen heart was undecided, he was ordered by the ancestor Yuanjue to return to the world. As for their parents and clans, those who have been monks have already cut off their relationship with them and have nothing to do with them, so don't talk about it! I am twenty-two years old. ”

Wang Bo stroked the long beard under his chin and sighed: "I see, I didn't expect Lin Gongzi to be out of the house, this is very similar to the old man!" ”

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Why Lord Wang, you also left home when you were young?" ”

Wang Bo said with a smile: "It's not that there is a monk, it's just that when I was young, my family was poor, and my husband used to mix white food for a period of time in the Thousand Buddha Temple outside Luoyang City, so he is a little similar to you." ”

Zhou Bangjie said complimentarily on the side: "Although Mr. Wang's family is poor, he studied hard, and finally won the top prize in one fell swoop. He gave a thumbs up as a sign of praise.

Wang Bo laughed and said: "Don't mention the past thirty years ago! When he spoke, there was a clear hint of smugness on his face.

Lin Yi has always admired this kind of student bully, and he was busy smiling and saying a few flattering words.

Wang Bo laughed for a while, frowned suddenly, and asked solemnly: "Young Master Lin, today in the temple, you said that you understand the secret of the miracle, but is it true?" ”
