Chapter Seventy-Four: Warning
The temple gate of Qinglong Temple was opened, and all the people of Dali Temple, together with the escorted carriage, all entered the temple.
The little novice's gaze changed visibly when he saw that there were still women coming in.
Jing Wan'er's gaze was opposite to this little novice, and she smiled leisurely.
The little novice visibly lowered his head uncomfortably.
Pei Tan looked at the carriage, until now, the carriage was quiet, and the oracle said that as long as the carriage was escorted to the Qinglong Temple, their task would be over.
At this time, the little novice said: "Your Excellency is in a hurry, the temple has prepared clear water, please go to the temple with the little monk to drink a cup first." ”
Pei Tan couldn't help but look gloomy: "It's inappropriate, right?" ”
Xiao Shami saw Pei Tan's gaze, his eyes flickered, and he folded his hands, "Please rest assured, Qinglong Temple is guarded by twelve Dharma protectors, and the carriage enters the temple gate, it is fine." The little monk then notified the senior brothers to come and deal with it. ”
Jing Wan'er looked at it, and only felt that the monks of Qinglong Temple were strange, and the holy decree of this escort was also confusing.
The little novice has taken the lead.
Jing Wan'er couldn't help but look at the place called the Tang Protector Temple, maybe it was a lot of heart, she felt that this little novice looked dodgy, but it didn't seem like it was because she was a woman.
When they arrived at an open courtyard, the water was murmuring, and two young monks were chanting in the open space. There was a clear spring in the courtyard, and the little novice took the water and handed it to the waiting officer. No one knew that the weather would be so hot, and they were really thirsty.
When it was time for Jing Wan'er, Xiao Shami lowered her head.
Jing Wan'er took the water, only to see that Qing Ke was in the shadow, and took a sip of sweetness and flowed down smoothly.
Sure enough, it is good water, if such water is used to make tea, the tea will be of a higher grade.
A servant next to him whispered: "I heard that if you drink a sip of water from Qinglong Temple, you can live for ten more years..."
After all, it is the temple of the Tang Dynasty, and the incense received every day includes people from all over the Tang Dynasty who come to pray for blessings. In the hearts of many people, Qinglong Temple
It is a temple located in the world, and not a single grass or tree here is ordinary.
Jing Wan'er saw that the little novice who was chanting in the courtyard suddenly looked frightened and bowed her head towards the courtyard door.
"I've seen Senior Brother Huigen."
A monk appeared at the gate of the courtyard, with a clean white face and extremely handsome facial features. Unlike the little monks who were dressed only in gray robes all over the courtyard, he was dressed in a gorgeous robe, and a string of Buddhist beads was wrapped between his white jade fingers.
Just looking at this dress, it looks like a monk of Qinglong Temple.
"Amitabha." The monk who suddenly appeared suddenly had a smile on his face.
The little novice who was fetching water hurriedly stepped forward: "Senior Brother Huigen, do you have any orders?" ”
Monk Huigen, who is like a noble son, spoke leisurely: "The room prepared for the noble people has been cleaned, and I am here to take you to rest on the orders of the master." ”
Jing Wan'er stared at this strange monk, did Qinglong Temple actually prepare a wing? It's a little too thoughtful.
Huigen said: "Go forward is the inner courtyard, and please put down the swords in your hands, there will be someone to take care of you." ”
When he arrived here, the Son of Heaven had to dismount and undress, and the identity of Sanpin Siqing was really nothing.
Pei Tan was silent for a moment: "Everyone unloads their weapons." ”
Even Pei County's guards had a cold face, and after glancing at Pei Tan, they slowly untied their swords from their waists.
The two little monks came up, picked up the heavy weapons on the ground, and went to the open door of the courtyard.
Monk Na Huigen said briskly, "Please come with me, my lords." ”
It seems that after entering the temple gate, no one cares about the carriage or the people in the carriage.
All the little monks I met along the way, when they saw Huigen, they all bowed their heads respectfully, and closed at such a young age, but they seemed to have a very high status in Qinglong Temple.
Huigen pushed open a door in front of him, revealing the courtyard.
"There are a total of nine wings in this courtyard, please choose your own." Huigen smiled, "The little monk will take his leave." ”
As soon as he left, the officials all looked at each other, and Pei Tan ordered: "Two people in one room, rest by yourself." ”
The adults all spoke, and the officials didn't think much about it anymore, and spontaneously formed a team of two, and soon entered the five rooms.
Pei Tan turned around and walked to one of the rooms, and Jing Wan'er and Pei Guards naturally followed him.
When I opened the door of the wing, there was sandalwood inside, tables and chairs were ready, and even the bedding was neatly stacked on the bed.
"It's like they knew the adults were coming." Jing Wan'er glanced at Pei Tan.
Pei Guard walked in, stretched out his hand and probed carefully around the table and chairs, and then looked at the bed, Pei Tan said: "This is Qinglong Temple, there will be no mechanism." ”
Pei Guard raised his head: "It's better to be careful." "This Qinglong Temple is not allowed to enter with weapons, how to deal with it in case of danger.
After some inspection, Pei Guard withdrew again.
"Gongzi was originally scheduled to arrive at Qinglong Temple, so he returned immediately, why did he agree that the people from this temple would come to the wing?"
This is also what Jing Wan'er wanted to ask, so she saw Pei Tan take out the Zhongzong edict from his sleeve and shake it slightly.
He glanced at his guards and Jing Wan'er.
Sure enough, it has something to do with this secret letter. It can only be opened when it arrives at the Qinglong Temple, making this oracle even more mysterious.
"Your Majesty said in the letter that we need to stay in Qinglong for one more night, and tomorrow, there will be a person of noble status who will return to Chang'an with us."
"Someone of high status?" Jing Wan'er asked in some surprise.
It is really worthy of being the temple of the Tang royal family, and it is full of weirdness from the moment you enter the door.
"And who is escorting here today?" Until now, they have not had the opportunity to see the face of the person who followed them all the way, and they don't even know their identity, so aren't they also "nobles"?
Pei Tan said: "The people who will return to Chang'an tomorrow should have nothing to do with the people we sent today. ”
Otherwise, Zhongzong would not have made such a boring will, but this mission really makes people feel like they can't get to the end.
"You go find a room to rest in." Pei Tan said to the guards. If it comes, it will be safe.
There are nine wings here, and even one more is enough. It was just past noon, and even if they left early tomorrow morning, they still had a few hours to stay in this quiet temple.
Pei Guard glanced at Jing Wan'er lightly, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
The rest of Jing Wan'er saw Pei Tan looking at her, so Shi Shiran said, "Then Wan'er also went to find a room to rest."
Pei Tan asked, "When did you come to Qinglong Temple?" ”
Jing Wan'er pretended to be stupid: "What did the adults say?" ”
Pei Tan looked at her, he didn't know that he knew this girl too well, and it was easy to see her strangeness. "When the little master led the way just now, he hadn't turned the corner yet, and you seemed to already know the place."
Jing Wan'er opened her mouth and blinked her eyes twice, and quickly said, "Adults are too worried, Wan'er, like everyone, is the first time to come to Qinglong Temple, so she is curious." ”
She quickly bent down to Pei Tan, opened the door and went out.
Pei Tan didn't stop it, because there was no reason to stop it, he relied on his intuitive understanding of Jing Wan'er, if Jing Wan'er had come to Qinglong Temple, it naturally couldn't be after she became a palace maid.
Jing Wan'er came to an empty room next to her, and just stretched out her hand to push it away, her eyes rolled and she looked at the door of the courtyard.
She slowly looked at Pei Tan's door, and after a while, she stepped backwards and left very lightly on tiptoe.
Pei Guard meditated cross-legged in the room, staring at the door with a somewhat cold face.
Jing Wan'er returned to the courtyard where they entered just now, and saw that the carriage was still parked there, the courtyard was so quiet, so good at kung fu, the people in the carriage were gone?
She slowly looked around, this was a sacred place in the hearts of the Tang people, but she didn't trust this temple at all.
Just like in the past, whenever something was about to happen, God gave her a foreshadowing, but she could only watch as a bystander.
Jing Wan'er slowly walked towards the carriage, looking at the thick curtain door, her hand was about to touch...
"Female benefactor, are you lost?" A joking sounded, right behind Jing Wan'er.
She immediately retracted her hand and turned to see a monk with clear eyebrows.
It's really a narrow road encounter, it's that Huigen.
Jing Wan'er smiled unhurriedly, but stared at that Huigen, "Where did the people in the carriage go?" ”
She had just heard it clearly, and there was no one breathing inside.
Huigen stared at her face, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made him look more like a noble son who tamed horses and paraded the streets of Chang'an City, rather than a high-ranking monk.
"From the moment the little monk saw the girl, he felt a little familiar, and only then did he remember that the girl was really an old friend."
Jing Wan'er stared at Huigen and didn't speak.
Huigen lightly hooked her lips: "The girl wants to inquire about the people in the carriage, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, the little monk has heard that the Buddha has clouds, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, the so-called is knowing." ”
Jing Wan'er looked at Huigen's pretend, turned her head and wanted to leave the courtyard. Since there was no one in the carriage she was looking for, and Qinglong Temple had eighty-four meditation rooms and thirty-six Arhat gates, it was impossible for her to find people alone.
Huigen looked at Jing Wan'er, everyone arrived at his Qinglong Temple, and even when the emperor was today, they all bathed in fasting clothes, respectfully called "Holy Monk" to guide the maze, Huigen knew that he didn't have such a high ability to be admired, but his master, Master Xuanlian, had already become famous in the Tang Dynasty.
Jing Wan'er also knows that almost all the kings of the Tang Dynasty are the sons of destiny. And that Master Xuanlian is said to have been able to predict the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. Think about it carefully, why after Zhongzong ascended the throne, Qinglong Temple became a national temple.
"Actually, the little monk also has a word to ask," Huigen's eyes flickered, "You are here for that person in the attic, right?" ”
Jing Wan'er was about to step out of the courtyard door with her feet retracted, she frowned and looked at Huigen: "What attic?" ”
Huigen didn't say anything, he seemed to be judging the authenticity of her expression after looking at Jing Wan'er for a long time.
——
After returning from the courtyard, Jing Wan'er went back to the wing room directly and stayed until the evening and did not come out.
When the lights were turned on in the evening, a few novices came to give them oil, and Hui Gen stood in the courtyard and said to them, "Please do not walk around the temple at night, for tomorrow morning someone will come to give you a morning fast." ”
Jing Wan'er looked at Huigen's bright and dark figure in the courtyard through the crack in the door, his face was still mysterious, she never expected that this was the last time she saw Huigen.
