Chapter Seventy-Nine: Discovering Your True Identity
Looking at the obvious cunning and calculation on Zhuo Lang's face, Mukcha, who had to come from the army, was quite disgusted.
The people who march and fight have always been happy and straightforward, and the most annoying thing is these brain-loving guys.
He also knew that Zhuo Lang's identity was very unusual in Beimeng, and His Majesty almost obeyed him, and if he wanted to get some benefits from him, he had to pay something.
To put it bluntly, there is more of a transaction and mutual use between him and Zhuo Lang, but unfortunately, the person who sacrificed is the woman who amazed several people on the hunting ground.
Thinking of this, Muktsa couldn't help but look at the slender figure who had already walked away, although he was also curious if she was from that mysterious family.
However, he knew that his curiosity would not kill her, but Zhuo Lang was not necessarily, this old man must be plotting to get something from Chu Xingyue's body.
……
Chu Xingyue, who had already walked away, suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and subconsciously shivered fiercely in Zhao Ling's arms, and even her pink cheeks turned snow-white in an instant.
Zhao Ling hurriedly supported Chu Xingyue, who looked different, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Xingyue shook her head gently, followed, and looked back again: "I don't know what's going on, all of a sudden, there was a bad chill, and I always felt that someone was staring at me behind my back." ”
As he spoke, Chu Xingyue closed her eyes and looked at the posture, which was to immediately open the Heavenly Eye and study it carefully.
Of course, Zhao Ling knew her ability, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her from doing so: "What are you doing, let's hurry into the hall to visit the Buddha." ”
Hearing Zhao Ling's voice, Chu Xingyue reacted at this time, she almost exposed herself in front of this kid again.
He glanced at him with a sneering look, and didn't notice anything unusual on his face, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, let's go." ”
Of course, Zhao Ling knew what Chu Xingyue was thinking, but fortunately he didn't show his expression that he knew her situation, otherwise with her temperament, she would definitely have to get to the bottom of it.
It's just that there are people staring at her behind what she said, but it made him fall in love.
He will not forget that she who has been by his side has always been full of disasters, and her identity is likely to be remembered by someone with a heart.
For all these reasons, he had to be cautious.
Gradually, he regretted that he had agreed to let her live in the temple for two days in order to please her.
Longquan Temple is the place of Buddhism, and it is true that there will be no killing under normal circumstances, but everything will be in case.
This place is no better than Ling Wang's Mansion with everyone to protect him, in case he accidentally puts her in danger again, at that time, he will definitely regret his death.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ling faintly made up his mind.
It seems that he has to take the time to go back to Beijing and try to transfer as many secret guards as possible to guard Chu Xingyue's side, so that he can be completely at ease.
Chu Xingyue followed Zhao Ling to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, bowed sincerely to the Buddha in brocade clothes and golden body, and finally after adding sesame oil money, he was led by the small novice in the temple to the meditation room in the backyard where he could rest.
It's just that on the way to the meditation room, Chu Xingyue stopped at a small bamboo building that was specially isolated.
There are three floors above and below the small bamboo building, and looking at the specification design, there is quite a bit of the design of the Miao family's bamboo building that she has seen in modern times, which made Chu Xingyue immediately interested.
When he caught up, he asked the little novice who was leading the way in front: "This little master, I don't know who designed this bamboo building?" Who lives there today? ”
The little novice was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and his shaved head was marked with a red ring scar, and the pure life of the temple made him look quite innocent and harmless.
Xu is the first time he has seen a beautiful woman like Chu Xingyue when he is so old, Xiao Shami blushed in the morning, and he didn't even dare to look up at her when he talked to Chu Xingyue.
"Back to the female benefactor, the bamboo building here is designed and built by the abbot of my temple twenty years ago, and now, it is also the abbot's residence."
Hearing this answer, Chu Xingyue was puzzled: "You mean, this bamboo building was built by your host himself?" I would venture to ask again, is your presiding abbot a native of Dawei? ”
Xiao Shami obviously didn't expect Chu Xingyue to ask such a strange question, and he didn't even care about the shyness in his heart, he raised his head and looked at Chu Xingyue, and replied: "The abbot is naturally from the Great Wei, why does the female benefactor ask this?" ”
Chu Xingyue looked at the little novice's expression and knew that the little monk was not lying.
It's just that the doubts in her heart are getting heavier and heavier.
Zhao Ling saw that Xiao Shami looked at Chu Xingyue with straight eyes, and subconsciously twisted his eyebrows, coughed lightly, and Xiao Shami immediately came back to his senses, and quickly lowered his eyes again, not daring to look more.
Zhao Ling hugged Chu Xingyue's slender waist, knowing that she was smart and keen, she must have noticed something strange so she asked this question, she couldn't help but be curious, leaned closer to her ear, and whispered: "Did you find something wrong?" ”
Chu Xingyue naturally wouldn't say that there was something wrong with the abbot in front of the little monk, she smiled faintly at Zhao Ling, and gently pinched his big hand around her waist with her little hand, and replied to him: "I'll tell you later." ”
……
After the half-pillar of incense passed, Xiao Shami finally took Chu Xingyue and his party to the meditation room that had been prepared long ago.
Looking around at this simple but very clean and elegant meditation room, Chu Xingyue was still very satisfied.
However, Zhao Ling, who had been guarding her side, had long been a little impatient.
After retiring from the people who were serving around him, he wrapped himself around Chu Xingyue and looked at her with a little curiosity.
"It's just a small bamboo building that has aroused your great interest, Yue'er, what did you perceive wrong?"
Looking at Zhao Ling, who was curious about the baby, Chu Xingyue was very patient, took his hand and walked to the window sash on the side, pointing to the roof of the third floor of the small bamboo building that could be seen not far away.
Ask him, "Do you find anything wrong?" ”
Zhao Ling's eyesight was still very good, and he stared at the direction Chu Xingyue pointed out for a long time, but he didn't understand anything, shook his head in a daze, and said, "What else can this king see besides seeing a roof?" ”
Chu Xingyue glanced at him, this guy usually looks shrewd, why did he start to be stupid today.
However, if the abbot of Longquan Temple was not extremely smart, how could he hide his true identity for so long under everyone's noses.
And she inadvertently discovered his secret based on the architectural knowledge she learned in modern times.
Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling with a sly expression and said, "Let me ask you, Great Wei has been advocating Buddha for a hundred years, right?" ”
"Yes, the founding ancestor of the Great Wei Dynasty experienced a period of distress when he was a teenager, and when his life was dying, it was a wandering monk who helped him, and he was lucky to save his life; The ancestor later achieved great things, remembered this benefactor, and looked for it everywhere, but unfortunately there was no news of the vast sea of people, so the ancestor also told the courtiers about it many times; Later, a minister of the Ministry of Rites couldn't bear to see the ancestor so hard thinking about the life-saving feelings of the wandering monk, so he wrote a book to say that the ancestor wanted the ancestor to worship the Buddha and educate the people, which could be regarded as a reward for the wandering monk; Ancestors are happy, accept! Since then, the wind of the Great Wei Buddha has spread, and it has been prosperous for hundreds of years. ”
Chu Xingyue didn't expect that the source of the Great Wei Dynasty's Buddha worship was because of this, and she sighed with emotion for a while.
"But I remember that if you want to become a monk in the Great Wei, you must also have conditions, and the most important one is that non-Great Wei people are not allowed to enter the temple to serve the Buddha; Right? ”
Zhao Ling immediately reacted to what Chu Xingyue meant by this: "Are you suspicious, the abbot of Longquan Temple is not a common person of Great Wei?" ”
Chu Xingyue nodded firmly.
"Impossible, Longquan Temple is a centuries-old temple temple, although it is not as valuable as Huguo Temple, but the abbot of the temple has entered the palace with the abbot of Huguo Temple many times to recite Buddha for the Son of Heaven and seek benefits for the people of the world, how can such a character not be the people of Great Wei?"
Looking at Zhao Ling's appearance of vigorously denying it, Chu Xingyue knew that this abbot of Longquan Temple must be a big man, otherwise, with Zhao Ling's temperament, how could he show such an excited look.
But, because of this, she had to make some things clear.
Chu Xingyue pointed to the bamboo building not far away and told him: "If you don't believe me, you can take some time to go to that bamboo building to have a look, don't look elsewhere, just look at the roof of the third floor of the bamboo building, where is there a bull's head sign." ”
Bull head?!
Zhao Ling immediately thought of a nation in the Western Barbarians, which was based on the bull's head as a totem, believed in every family, and hung in every household.
Seeing Zhao Ling's thoughtful expression, Chu Xingyue knew what he had already thought, and took the initiative to reach out his hand, pull him up, and tell him eloquently.
"To tell the truth, I was also shocked when I saw this bamboo building, at first, I was a little guessed, I felt that the Great Wei people were civilized, and in recent years, they had many contacts with several small countries in the borderlands, so there was nothing wrong with the appearance of foreign architectural styles near the capital; However, when I asked the little monk and learned that the abbot of Longquan Temple had come here twenty years ago, I realized that something was not right. ”
"The Great Wei Shangli Buddha has great tolerance and affinity for the monks, presumably this matter will not be a secret, but although the Great Wei values the monks, it is also known that the monks are strictly managed; But the abbot of Longquan Temple came here incognito after knowing these circumstances, whether he did this to serve the Buddha sincerely, and there are other purposes, I think you should check it carefully. ”
Zhao Ling fell into deep thought, and in front of him, the face of the abbot of Longquan Temple slowly appeared, which was a face that he didn't feel annoying after looking at it.
For that highly respected monk, he had seen him many times in the palace, just because his father seemed to trust him quite a lot, and every time a large sacrifice was held in the palace, he would be invited to come.
If such a person is not his Great Wei people, then how serious should the consequences of this be implicated.
Zhao Ling closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened his eyes again, the panic in his eyes had dissipated, and they were replaced by a calm like a sea.
He stretched out his hand and firmly supported Chu Xingyue's shoulder, and explained with a serious expression: "Yue'er, this king will investigate this matter, but you have to promise me that before this king investigates clearly, you must not act rashly, let alone approach that bamboo building at will, okay?" ”
Of course, Chu Xingyue knew that Zhao Ling was doing this to protect her, so she immediately nodded and agreed.
At the same time, as if to comfort him, he leaned upstairs on his waist and leaned meekly into his arms.
This man obviously has countless questions and puzzles in his heart now, but he still thought of protecting her at the first time.
In the face of him like this, how could she refuse his kindness and sincerity?!
