Early morning.

When the first rays of sunlight pierced through the dust and mist and shone on the nine-story tower, all the people who participated in the opening ceremony of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple came here one after another.

This is also the first time Nanyan has seen this Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

Before, when I first entered Jinling City, I just sat in the carriage and looked at it from a distance, but I couldn't see the whole picture of this place, and I didn't know what was going on inside.

At this moment, they are standing in front of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple,

This temple is very large, there are nearly two zhang at the bottom, there are dozens of steps in front of the door, under the steps, is a wide open space where they stop at this moment, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, at this time, the emperor came, the open space has been full of people, all kinds of colored flags fluttering in the air in the wind.

All the people raised their heads and looked at the wide Buddhist temple above, the vermilion gate was closed, shining red in the sunlight, dazzling red, and there was a plaque hanging on the top of the gate, with four big characters in the emperor's handwriting—

Great Mercy & Grace Temple.

At this time, only a squeak was heard, and the gate of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple slowly opened from the inside.

A group of monks lined up in two columns and came out of it.

Standing in front of the temple gate, he bowed to Zhu Feng and the guards he led, civil and military officials, and harem concubines: "Meet the emperor!" ”

When he was done, he bowed down.

Zhu Feng looked up at the wide temple gate above, slowly raised his feet, and walked up the steps.

The people around him, naturally, followed.

Nanyan, as a concubine, like the queen, followed Zhu Feng on the left and right sides respectively, just because she was pregnant, she also let Ran Xiaoyu follow closely, and Ran Xiaoyu also kept holding her arm, for fear that she would fall down or something accidentally.

This kind of impermeable prudence made Nanyan cry and laugh.

However, when they walked up the steps and bowed to the monks kneeling on the ground on both sides, Nanyan heard Ran Xiaoyu let out a soft "huh".

Nanyan turned her head to look at her, only to see her staring at the monks with a shocked expression on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"Is that them?"

"Who?"

Ran Xiaoyu pouted at those monks and said, "These monks are all monks from Dabao Temple. ”

"Dabao Temple? It is the temple where you hid when you were hiding from King Ning's pursuit in Changqing City. ”

"Yes, that's them!"

As if hearing their murmurs, a monk kneeling on the ground raised his head carefully, and he also saw Ran Xiaoyu, with a surprised and happy smile on his face.

It is the great monk of Liberation who was separated from them in the Dabao Temple.

Nanyan saw the monk kneeling on the ground, and gradually understood.

At the beginning, King Ning once attacked Dabao Temple in order to catch Xinping and Ran Xiaoyu, and the monks there were also arrested, and Dabao Temple was also destroyed; Later, the people of the imperial court took over Changqing City, and these monks were released, but they were already homeless.

And Zhu Feng built the Great Ci'en Temple in Jinling.

This temple is a royal temple built by him, I am afraid that the monks of the world want to come here to practice, Zhu Feng gave this opportunity to the monks who had taken care of and rescued the princess in the Dabao Temple, which can be regarded as a kind of "retribution".

No wonder before, Zhu Feng had always left Mingxin in the Beiping Palace.

It seems that this plan has been in place for a long time.

Nanyan couldn't help but raise his head and looked at the back of Zhu Feng who was walking in front, and his heart was warm.

Ran Xiaoyu said softly: "It's really good that the emperor is doing this. ”

"Hmm."

She nodded to the monks and followed Zhu Feng into the temple gate, and these monks also stood up, followed by the emperor and concubines, and also entered the Great Ci'en Temple.

As soon as you enter the temple, your eyes are even more open.

Here, even more spacious than the open space outside, there is a huge incense burner in front of it, and at the moment the green smoke is curling, and behind the incense burner, there is a large hall dedicated to the golden statue of Maitreya Buddha.

Zhu Feng walked over slowly.

Although when he entered the temple, he should worship the Buddha, but today's main purpose is not to worship the Buddha, but to come to worship and worship, so he did not sit and stay longer, but only walked through the main hall.

After entering, I found that this Great Temple of Mercy and Grace is very deep.

Great halls, attics.

It took them a long time to get through these places.

Inside, countless Buddha statues are also enshrined.

When they passed through a large hall again, Zhu Feng glanced back, originally wanting to confirm that Nanyan's body was fine, but saw her with a thoughtful expression.

He asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Suddenly hearing his voice, Nan Yan hurriedly raised his head: "Your Majesty." ”

"What do you think, so distracted?"

"It's nothing, the concubine is just thinking, why is the emperor in the first hall dedicated to Maitreya Buddha?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her and said calmly: "Because he is the future Buddha." ”

“……”

"I'm the same, I just want to look to the future."

“……”

Nanyan was slightly stunned, and Zhu Feng, just like he said, had already turned his head and continued to walk forward.

Nanyan's heart throbbed.

She probably knows what Zhu Feng means, everyone has a past, and everyone's past also has some knots that can't be solved, and Zhu Feng's past is even more confusing, and there are more mysteries that can't be solved.

Although he also cared, he never lingered on the past.

Just like he accepted his amnesia quickly, he didn't get to the bottom of the memories that he didn't completely recover.

His eyes, more importantly, are on the future, in the distance.

Such a man may be a man who is really strong and can create a better future!

Nanyan looked at his back and couldn't help but smile.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a little strange, and couldn't help but look back, only to see that there were black heads behind her, and all those concubines were following behind.

Ran Xiaoyu beside her said, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

“…… No, it's fine. ”

She shook her head hesitantly and walked on.

In a few moments, they passed through the last Dharma Gate Hall.

When I walked out the back door, I felt a gust of wind blowing.

At this time, the sun was shining, and the temperature of the earth was already very high, even if they walked in the main hall, they were a little depressed.

But this gust of wind blew everyone's spirits.

In front of me, there is a much more open field.

However, this place is not empty, in front of this site, there is a high platform, with a radius of dozens of zhang.

On the high platform, there is a piece of Tallinn, each stone tower is more than one or two zhang high, and the form is different.

In the middle of Tallinn, a nine-story tower towered into the sky, the same tower they had seen from afar.

That is, the destination of Zhu Feng's trip - Chongen Tower!

As soon as he saw this tower, Zhu Feng, who was only looking ahead and focusing on the future, also had a trace of confusion in his eyes.
