A slight rain enveloped the entire Jinjia City. Admiralty Temple is the largest temple in Kyoto, and in the old days pilgrims were always in an endless stream.

"There aren't many pilgrims today."

"Alas, every rainy day, it is more busy and tired."

"I don't know why when it rains, the abbot will summon all the monks in the temple to go to the main hall to recite the scriptures, and even the number of people who sprinkle and sweep is half less than in the past."

"I'm afraid there were too many pilgrims in the past, and I'm afraid that we will delay our homework, so let's wait until a rainy day and let everyone hurry up and practice." After the two little monks whispered, they were about to take the broom back to the house, and as soon as they turned around, they saw someone behind them.

He was dressed in a robe, with a gray beard, holding a rosary, and a kind smile on his face.

When the little monk saw the comer, he was busy bowing his head in shame, and he swallowed two words.

Fang ...... Abbot"

The old abbot nodded at the two of them, waved his hand to signal them to stand down, and the little monks hurried away with a "yes" in their mouths.

At this time, a year-old monk came over and said, "Master, your noble man has arrived. ”

The old abbot looked at the light rain and said, "Coming today?" You go first, and I'll come later. ”

"Yes."

The Zen room is simply and elegantly furnished, and the furnace is burning with good-smelling sandalwood.

On the futon sat a woman, with a beautiful and noble face, dressed in brocade and colorful clothes, and was about thirty years old.

The small table prepared the best tea, and her eyes fell on the calligraphy on the wall, slightly in a daze.

The old abbot knocked lightly.

Her eyes didn't move, only a voice came out of her mouth: "Come in." But the voice was old and deep.

When the old abbot came in, he closed the door of the meditation room. clasped his hands together, saluted the lady in front of him, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and then spoke: "Today's chanting sound is still as good as the last time I came, and I can faintly hear it in the hut." ”

"Yes, your old man prefers to go out on rainy days, so you can only tire these little ones to chant in the main hall, so that they don't disturb your purity by walking around at will."

The queen looked serious and said tiredly: "There are too many worries recently, and the mourning family feels that the palace is boring, so they come to you to breathe." ”

The old monk nodded in agreement and said not a word.

"Wuyou, your Admiralty Temple incense has been thriving lately?"

Master Wuyou twisted the rosary in his hand lightly and said: "The emperor has been in power for a year, the people are safe and the country is rich, and this Admiralty Temple is naturally full of incense." ”

The Queen Mother looked at the tea in the teacup and asked, "Really?" At the beginning, the ministers asked the emperor to govern in person, and the performance was tired of several layers, and the mourning family felt that the emperor did not agree to the old urine, but in the end, you persuaded the mourning family. ”

"The sixteenth year of the emperor is a good time for men, and it is better to have the queen mother to assist in listening to the government."

"How good could it be?" The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly cold, and she took the herbal tea and drank it all.

Wuyou's face was indifferent, and he looked like he was used to seeing it.

The two of them, one sitting on a futon and the other standing in the house, looked strange.

The teacup was gently put down, and the Queen Mother said: "But those old guys don't feel good." ”

Master Wuyou knew that the Queen Mother was talking about the ministers of the court, the queen mother refused to let go of power, and also gave the eagle guard heavy power to compete with the court, the emperor's reign was still empty, and the ministers of the court were afraid that the Empress Dowager Qi would be in power until the Qi family was in power in the end, and the first emperor was abandoned and finally handed over to outsiders.

Wuyou could only change the topic and said, "Lao Wei heard that Liang Shangshu is leaving Beijing and returning to the field. ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and wondered, "Oh? Has the news reached the temple? ”

The old monk Wuyou smiled lightly: "The pilgrims are incense more than seeking wealth and children, and recently the old man has found that many pilgrims are asking for safety charms. ”

The Queen Mother snorted lightly, her face calm.

After observing the words, he continued: "A little monk in the temple was curious, so he asked the pilgrim and asked, it turned out to be for Lord Liang to travel. ”

Only then did the Queen Mother speak up and said: "What's the use of the emperor forcing him to stay, these old guys only care about Mingzhe's life." ”

Wuyou said: "Amitabha, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance." ”

The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows and said no more.

Wuyou put the teapot in his hand, the tea was still hot, and he served a cup for Tai Hou.

He looked at this graceful and luxurious lady, who should have been in her prime, but her face was full of tiredness, and she only sighed in her heart.

"Queen Mother, do you still want to listen to the old man's chanting?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "The mourning family has drunk a lot of medicine for this headache, but listening to your chanting can alleviate one or two." ”

The old monk clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Since I am the Queen Mother, I am blessed by the Buddha." After speaking, he took the futon and sat cross-legged, twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand, and began to chant the scriptures.

The voice is gentle and mellow, and it is reassuring.

After reciting the 5,000-word "Diamond Sutra", Monk Wuyou paused and opened his eyes. The Queen Mother had already slept peacefully on the couch, Wuyou folded her hands, saluted slightly, and wanted to withdraw first. But when I got up, I heard the Queen Mother's cough, and Wuyou said: "Queen Mother, haven't you slept?" The old man recited it again. ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and waved her hand to signal him not to.

Wu You said: "The Queen Mother is so worried today, but for that landscape map." ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes suddenly, her expression was fierce, and her tone was cold: "You actually know about this?" ”

Monk Wuyou was not afraid of the Queen Mother's questioning, and said peacefully: "Lord Xiang is not good at painting, but he painted a painting that gave the Queen Mother a headache. ”

…… The rain stopped, and a lot of long-lived bamboos were planted in the temple, and it was refreshing to look at it after the rain.

Father-in-law He was waiting outside the meditation room in civilian clothes, and he didn't notice the raindrops falling from the trees on his face.

In the dark night, there is no one in the deep alley, and a man wearing regular clothes and holding a brocade box walks at night.

The wind blows and the leaves fall, and there is a hint of murderous intent in the vast twilight.

The man hugged the brocade box tightly and couldn't help but look back, but heard a cold chuckle.

When he came back to his senses, the cold weapon was already in his neck.

Suddenly, several men in black fell from the sky and wrapped the man around.

The man in black gestured slightly, and someone snatched the brocade box from the man's hand.

The man's back was cold, but he didn't dare to move his head, and said with anger on his face: "Who is so bold? ”

As soon as he spoke, the man in black was stunned for a moment, his voice was too thin, but he didn't answer him, only the man in black who threatened him with a secret weapon, pushed the man, and said, "Take it away!" ”

As soon as the man wanted to shout in a panic, the man in black quickly clicked his dumb hole.

The man wanted to glare at him, and a black cloth was over his eyes.

Moments later, the man was taken to a secret room.

The man in black removed the black cloth in front of him, and he couldn't help but squint, and when he opened it again, he saw a huge scorpion sign hanging on the stone wall.

And on the upper seat sat a man, about thirty years old, the man was slender, but his appearance was not handsome, and his sitting posture was not good.

The man in black handed the brocade box to the leader, and the man opened it and saw that it was indeed full of jewels.

The leader raised his chin, and the man in black unraveled the man's acupoint.

The leader said: "My surname is Lai, you can call me Lai." ”

The mysterious man who was brought in snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.

Lai didn't care, and said, "It's you, give me the order?" ”

The mysterious man coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, let me out." ”

Lai knocked on the edge of the table, pointed to the dead body on the ground, and asked, "This is your person?" ”

Only then did the mysterious man notice that there was a dead man lying on the ground, and he was shocked, and he wanted to retreat or endure it.

Lai observed his expression and said, "You sent someone to place an order for me to be a scorpion, but you refused to show up in person, this is your sincerity?" The contempt on Lai's face flashed.

The mysterious man just wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but the people on the ground died too miserably, and he only felt that the air was filled with an unpleasant fishy smell, so he subconsciously took out a handkerchief to cover his nose. This action aroused Lai's suspicions, and he carefully observed the mysterious man.

Although the man was dressed in civilian clothes, his demeanor showed his usual pampering, and he looked to be in his forties, but his skin was delicate and smooth. And the way he hides his face and the way he speaks......

"You want to kill Liang Renxu?"
