After bidding farewell to Taifu, Zhao Youchen escorted the royal carriage and horse all the way west, and the carriage rolled forward in a circle.

Xiao Tian sat in it and fell asleep, casually touched his waist and sleeve pockets, whether it was a brocade bag containing a lion's head jade or a small bamboo tube with a hidden edge, he immediately felt a little relieved.

Taifu stood on the city wall of the west gate of Nanhua City and watched their distant backs gradually disappear, and finally turned his head and walked down the city wall step by step, towards the heavy palace wall.

Within the walls of the palace, Xiao Yan was placing Xiao Xiao on the small table in front of him, trying to make it accept his feeding.

He has always believed that cats are spiritual creatures.

Before, when he teased him in the little garden, he could still play with him, but now he was stubborn, and deep down he still didn't want to pay attention to him.

Wouldn't he be able to take it to its former owner every day?

"Now, as you can see, your former master is no longer paying attention to you. You haven't eaten since last night, is it going to be so hard to accept the food in my hands? ”

He held his cheek in one hand and a small fish in the other, not minding the unpleasant smell in his hands.

But Xiaoxiao was lying on the table, only squinting lazily, but did not approach.

Cats are animals that like freedom, but Xiao Yan takes them with him every day, often holding them in his hands, and does not allow them to move freely.

Liu Yi and Danying can feed it, but Xiao Yan cannot.

Xiao Yan was not angry, and even really compromised: "Danying, come on." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out with the pot of fish he had brought with him.

When he walked to the door, he turned back and smiled at Xiaoxiao, and said, "Okay, I am reluctant to starve you, so I will indulge you again." ”

As if he understood, he turned his head to look at him, and his half-squinted eyes opened as the corners of his clothes disappeared by the door.

Pale Shadow touched its head and sighed inwardly.

Compared to people, His Royal Highness Yan is actually good to Xiaoxiao.

In addition to not being able to leave it day and night, you have to hold it in your hand and not let it play on its own.

Sure enough, as soon as Danying was ready to give a little food, Xiao Yan came back.

He stood by the door and watched the shadow feed Xiaoxiao, watching Xiaoxiao almost gobble up, his whole face was buried in the bowl, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a faint smile.

No matter how bad life is, he still doesn't seem to have forgotten the warmth of the cold palace in his heart.

What's more, although he walked from one quagmire to another, at least he didn't have to worry about whether he would be hungry and have a stomachache until tomorrow, and he wouldn't worry about whether it would be cold to the bones on a snowy day.

This is already his luck.

The rest, what he wants, he will rely on his own hands, the same, the same, to get.

Liu Yi said outside: "Your Highness, Master Taifu is here." ”

Xiao Yan turned around, with a dependent and happy expression on his face.

"Taifu!" He walked briskly up.

At this time, Xiao Tian's carriage was slowly entering Tianyin Mountain.

Tianyin Mountain is almost ten miles away in the west of the city, and the mountain is Tianyin Temple.

It is a century-old temple that is about the same age as Nanding Xinggong.

There is a Tianyin bell in the temple, it is the first emperor of the year to contribute a huge stone outside the sky, and then mixed with fine copper to make it, the sound of percussion is clear and far-reaching, it is said that it can be heard in the Nanding Palace.

Whenever there is a major ceremony in the Nanding Palace, the Tianyin Temple will ring the bell to harmonize, but in the Tianhe years, with the abandonment of the Nanding Palace, the Tianyin bell also fell silent and never rang again.

And in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, at the ceremony of sacrificing the martial soul, it will be the smoke in the martial soul tomb, and the bell in the Tianyin Temple.

The carriage spiraled up the wide mountain road, and when it was halfway up the mountain, it reached the gate of Tianyin Temple.

And the mountain road from the gate of Tianyin Temple to the top, it is all the road in Tianyin Temple, not to mention that the road under the mountain is narrower, or the bluestone brick staircase road winding in the mountain. This is not a road for carriages and horses.

Zhao Youchen said by the side of the carriage: "Your Majesty, Master Jueyan, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, led the monks to greet you. ”

Xiao Tian then ordered to get out of the car.

Before coming, Fu Mingyi explained to them the arrangements to go up the mountain, and the carriage arrived at the gate of Tianyin Temple, and the royal honor guard also stopped there.

The temple is quiet, and a group of people only arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation in a Buddhist temple villa not far from the mountain gate of Tianyin Temple, and Zhao Youchen takes a small team of people to follow Xiao Tian up the mountain to enter the temple with Mingxiu and Ma Hong, and live in the wing room for pilgrims to live in the temple.

This is for safety, and the other is to facilitate the arrangement of legal affairs.

Master Jueyan is a fat monk with a kind face and smiling eyes, and he makes people look kind when he doesn't speak.

"Your Majesty is here in person, this is the honor of our temple."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Master Jueyan took the lead to greet Xiao Tian and the others and walked inside, gesturing to the side of the bluestone steps as he walked, and said, "The soft sedan chair has been prepared, Your Majesty, please." ”

Some places on the old bluestone brick steps have been trampled away, and some places have been broken. Sure enough, there was a soft sedan chair parked under the steps, and four sturdy warrior monks stood next to it.

Xiao Tian looked at it for a while and said, "This road is the way to worship the Buddha." ”

Jue Yan glanced at Xiao Tian twice.

Worship Buddha road is the pilgrim to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha must pass the way, in order to show respect and piety, pilgrims from the beginning of the temple door will step by step up the bluestone steps, all the way to worship the Buddha, and finally reach the top of the mountain to see the Tianyin bell on another mountain from afar, this is considered complete.

According to the usual practice, it is naturally better to go up in person, but before Xiao Tian came, Taifu greeted him first, although he did not say it explicitly, but Jueyan heard it, this majesty is young and frail and sickly.

His Majesty came this time to worship the martial spirits on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the next three days, he had to participate in lengthy and complicated rituals. In this case, it is necessary to save a little mental and physical strength for His Majesty.

Fang Cai Jueyan has also seen it, this little majesty is thin and weak, and his face is worried, this is not a longevity.

Jue Yan had a moment in his heart, and thought of the junior brother who was hiding in the meditation room now, although he didn't look serious, but he participated in Zen and realized the Dharma, and he definitely threw him a few streets away.

I wonder if the junior brother of Jiao'er Langdang will be interested in the little emperor?

This thought disappeared in a flash, and Jueyan said quietly: "Your Majesty is noble, although it is the way of worshipping the Buddha, as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, whether you go or not, it is just a formality." ”

The younger brother has refused to abide by those forms of things since he was a child, and now that he has grown up, although he is still willing to behave in front of outsiders, he is also very lazy in private. However, among their brothers, he was the only one who became a Buddha and obtained the supreme inheritance.

Xiao Tian nodded, "Even so, when I first arrived, I still need to take care of some forms. ”

She looked at the soft sedan chair, "Let's put it first." So saying, he walked up.

Ma Hong and Zhao Youchen hurriedly followed, Mingxiu fell behind, and it was too late to object.
