Chapter 20: The Unknown Monk
In the next few days, Zhu Mingyang has been wandering the streets of Chang'an, watching the silver turn into copper plates, Zhu Mingyang is anxious, if he can't find the Ministry of Industry, it is estimated that he will sleep on the street in two days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It's not that Zhu Mingyang hasn't seriously looked for the Ministry of Industry these days, but this Chang'an City is divided into the inner and outer cities, the outer city is where ordinary people live, and the inner city is also the imperial city, where the palace relatives live and where the ministers work, this Ministry of Industry is also in the imperial city, and every time I walk to the city gate, I am pushed out.
"Huh?" As soon as Zhu Mingyang walked to the gate of the imperial city, he felt that there was something strange about today's imperial city. I saw that there were many more officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and they all stood straight and straight on both sides of the city gate in two rows. Then a great number of officers and soldiers came, and they also stood like logs on both sides of the street, and in a moment these soldiers were like a net that crowded the strange crowd on both sides of the street, leaving a wide avenue. Just when Zhu Mingyang was full of doubts, he suddenly slowly walked out of a group of people from the city gate, only to see that the team was basically all women, the line was very long, and each woman wore a white cloth on her head and lowered her head, slowly moving along the street.
After asking around, Zhu Mingyang learned that as Zhang Shuo said, the first emperor died, and these concubines were all going to Ganye Temple to become nuns according to the rules. Thinking of this, Zhu Mingyang followed.
I don't know how long I followed the procession, and suddenly I saw a majestic temple rising from the ground, and a group of soldiers standing at the gate of the temple on both sides.
"Listen, the first emperor treated you well, you have to practice here well, pray for the blessing of the country, pray for the blessing of the community, and do not defile this place of pure cultivation, hum!" At this time, a man walked out of the team and stopped in front of the team, reprimanding him in a strange manner, and the voice that was neither male nor female was clearly a eunuch.
When the emperor was still alive, these concubines had infinite scenery, but it is a pity that now people are leaving tea and cooling, things are not people, maybe they will never be able to return to the palace, even a little eunuch is so presumptuous, thinking of this, Zhu Mingyang shook his head helplessly. After the eunuch finished speaking, he took the group of concubines into the temple.
Zhu Mingyang saw that they all went in, thinking about how to follow up, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have any idea at all.
"Leave two people to guard the gate of the temple, and the others will follow me back to the palace." Just when Zhu Mingyang had nothing to do, the eunuch just now walked out and took away all the soldiers, leaving only two soldiers to guard the door.
"Hey! It seems that I can't get in today. Looking at the back of the soldier in the distance, Zhu Mingyang couldn't help but sigh.
"Donor, why are you sighing here!" Just as Zhu Mingyang sighed, a man's voice came from behind him, and this voice was full of kindness and kindness. Zhu Mingyang turned his head and saw an old monk standing behind him, the old monk was about fifty years old, wearing a wide robe, holding a Buddha seal in one hand, and a prayer bead in the other, with a kind face.
"Master! I need to go to Ganye Temple, but I can't get through the temple gate. Zhu Mingyang saw that the old monk had no malicious intentions, so he told him that he wanted to enter the temple to repair the tower.
"Amitabha! Everyone has a door in their hearts, and I'm afraid that Childe can't get in not only the door of Ganye Temple, but also the door in his heart. "The old monk is still the face of charity.
"Master! Sure enough, it's a monk! Zhu Mingyang thought that he still didn't know how to go back, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, could it be that this old monk was talking about this door? Travel through the Gate of Time and Space.
"Donor, false praise! The poor monk saw the face of the son, although it was a Sven face, but he would be rich and rich in the future, the old man will help you, the son please come with me. After the monk finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the temple, and Zhu Mingyang hurriedly followed.
"Stop! Who would dare to trespass into the Ganye Temple! Zhu Mingyang was just about to enter the door, and two shiny spear heads crossed in front of him.
"Amitabha! Don't panic, this person is a craftsman who repairs the monastery. Seeing that the guards were stopping Zhu Mingyang, the old monk quickly turned around and explained to the guards.
"Oh! It turned out that the master brought it in, but this Ganye Temple is a royal temple, and it is full of concubines of the first emperor. Besides, even if the craftsmen are registered in the Ministry of Works, you don't have to embarrass the two of us! "The two guards seemed to respect the monk, but they were afraid of responsibility.
"It's okay, I'll personally talk to Master Li of the Ministry of Industry in a while to make it clear." The old monk still had a kind smile.
"This ...... Well, since it was brought in by the master, the two of us are not embarrassed. With that, the two guards took their spears away.
Zhu Mingyang followed the old monk into the temple, only to see that this Ganye Temple is extremely wide, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge incense burner standing in the open space of the spacious temple, the surrounding meditation rooms were one by one, two quiet paths stretched out from both sides of the temple in the middle of the main hall to the distance, the temple was full of people coming and going but all nuns, and there were no monks, it was really a royal temple. After a short time along the quiet path, I saw a clearing, with remnants of rubble everywhere, and logs and bricks piled up everywhere, I didn't think that it was not easy to build buildings in ancient times, Zhu Mingyang sighed secretly.
"Master Li is over there, the donor will please." The old monk pointed to a wooden shed building in the distance.
"Thank you, master, I don't know how to call the master, I will ...... in the future" Zhu Mingyang saw that the old monk was leaving, and hurriedly asked his name.
"Donor, don't worry, our fate is not over, we will know in the future!" Before Zhu Mingyang finished speaking, the old monk turned around and left, looking at the back of the old monk who was far away, Zhu Mingyang thought, I don't know if there will be a chance to see him again in the future.
