Chapter 1 The Buddha said

Next Chapter

A rich girl prayed to the Buddha in order to see the man she liked again. The Buddha made her incarnate in stone and practiced for 500 years before she got the opportunity for the man to hurriedly pass over the bridge; He incarnated into a big tree and cultivated for five hundred years before the man rested under the tree for a while...... What are you praying for? ”

A young man with sun-tanned skin knelt on the futon in front of the golden Buddha statue, folded his hands, and greeted the woman kneeling beside him.

The woman knelt here before the young man entered the temple. I saw that she was wearing a hat, a robe with narrow sleeves and tight lapels, trousers, high-waisted boots, and a dress dressed as a man, but she didn't really dress herself up as a man, because her face was obviously powdered, her eyebrows were painted like willow leaves, and her thick lips were coated with vermilion rouge, which made her look very charming. This kind of men's clothing is tight and narrow, and wearing it on her body can better reflect the beautiful curves of various parts of the woman's body.

In the Tang Dynasty, women were good at dressing up as men, and this is probably the reason.

The hall is spacious, and although the monks are chanting in the same room, it still sounds like it is coming from afar; The sound of the "tuk-tuk-tuk...... knocking on the wooden fish is the accompaniment to the chanting. The whole "music" seems hazy, ethereal and quiet.

Tang Gaozong Xianheng four years, Zhang Huai Prince Li Xian house for the temple, there is this Qianfu Temple; Up to now, Jingyun has been in the second year for 38 years. The prince of Zhang Huai who built the temple has long passed away, and Wu Zetian, who executed the prince of Zhang Huai, has also passed away, the situation has been turbulent and coups in recent years, and the people in the temple and rivers and lakes have changed one after another, only the quaint building of this Qianfu Temple is still the same.

Changed.

With green tiles and white walls, a roof decorated with owls, and a cigarette smoke, the temple has gradually retreated into a pure temple.

The woman kneeling on the futon and praying with her eyes closed heard someone talking, so she opened her apricot eyes and looked around. The two were obviously acquaintances, and the woman put her index finger in front of her vermilion lips, lightly "shh ”

The woman's voice is soothing, with a slow rhythm, which is very beautiful.

The young man stopped talking, folded his palms and bowed a few times, then hurriedly stood up, turned and walked out.

Probably because the man came and went faster, there was some surprise to the woman, so she felt a little strange in her heart, and she hurriedly bowed a few times, got up and chased out.

Walking out of the Buddhist hall, there is a courtyard with a cloister with mullioned windows, which was originally the residence of the prince, and the layout still retains the old style. The woman looked around, and the courtyard was quiet, except for the newly sprouted willow branches swaying gently in the breeze, as if there was no movement, and there was no figure.

For some reason, a trace of loss flashed in her heart, what was lost? Originally, the man just now was not her important person, I really don't know what to lose, and people's hearts are sometimes really inexplicable.

Unexpectedly, right here, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "The Buddha said, you have been cultivating for a thousand years, and you still can't get married to him, do you still want to cultivate?" ”

The woman turned her head, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "The gods are mysterious, and this kind of trick is not boring...... Xue Qing doesn't have to be on duty today, how did he come to Qianfu Temple, what a coincidence. ”

The young man known as Xue Qing was none other than Xue Chongxun, the prince of Wei Guo, the eldest son of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo.

The woman in front of her is called Yuwen Ji, and she is the fiancée of Xue Chongxun's colleague Feng Yuanjun, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and Feng Yuanjun is the cousin of the eunuch Gao Lishi. The people of the Tang Dynasty were open, and women were willing to go out for activities, and there was such a relationship, so Xue Chongxun knew her.

There is another layer of relationship between them who can occasionally meet, this Yuwen Ji is known as the goddess doctor in Chang'an, and her medical skills are quite good, and she can often use thaumaturgy to cure some incurable diseases; And Xue Chongxun's Taichang Temple has such a department as the Imperial Doctor's Office, and the imperial doctor should also be managed by them, Yuwen Ji is not the imperial doctor, but has dealings with the Imperial Doctor's Department. Once the emperor Li Dan (the father of the crown prince Li Longji) had a migraine, and the imperial doctor was helpless, Yuwen Ji entered the palace and was actually cured with a needle.

Yuwen Ji asked, and Xue Chongxun said: "You also know that Feng Erlang is taking care of ordinary affairs, and I don't care much. Besides, today is the day when our brother greets his mother, so he rushed over from Anyi Fang. But it was still early, and it happened that Senfukuji Temple was here, so I just came over and walked around. ”

Speaking of his mother, Princess Taiping, a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in Xue Chongxun's eyes.

After last year's coup d'état, Empress Wei, Princess Anle, Shangguan Wan'er and other cadres were all executed, and the prime minister Li Dan was reinstated, resulting in today's situation: the crown prince Li Longji and Princess Taiping are each ready to go, and they have become incompatible...... The ending is very dangerous for Xue Chongxun, who is the eldest son of Princess Taiping, maybe a year or two later.

Perhaps Xue Chongxun was not devout enough to the Buddha, and the incense and the sound of wooden fish in the temple still could not give him even a moment of peace in his heart, and the battle would haunt his heart at any time. He sighed secretly, then hugged his fists and said, "It's almost time, farewell." ”

"Wait." Yuwen Ji stopped him and asked, "The Buddha you said just now hasn't finished speaking, is there really such a thing in the Buddhist scriptures?" ”

"Really." Xue Chongxun said seriously.

Yuwen Ji said: "The Buddha asked the girl if she still needs to cultivate after cultivating for a thousand years, what did she say?" ”

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "She said she didn't have to. ”

"It's boring." Yuwen Ji is a little disappointed, it seems that women have "obsessions".

Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun said: "At this time, the Buddha breathed a sigh of relief and said that another man has been cultivating for two thousand years in order to look at you...... Do you understand? ”

Yuwen Ji's face was slightly red, and she pondered for a while, thinking about the fact that she was Feng Yuanjun's fiancée and the scene of praying in front of the Buddha just now, and said in her heart: Is he teasing something?

Yuwen Ji said again: "I feel that you are different from before, it's really strange. ”

"What's the difference?" Xue Chongxun's heart was slightly nervous.

Yuwen Ji said: "You used to ...... With all due respect, at that time I felt that the imperial court should make you a military attaché, not too Changqing...... Right now? You're quite thoughtful. ”

Xue Chongxun pretended to be relaxed and said, "We rarely see each other, how can you know what kind of person I should be?" He glanced up at the sun, the sun was already setting in the west, and at this time he went to the princess's mansion and greeted his mother, just in time for a family feast. He said, "I'm really leaving." ”
