Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mysterious Nobleman

Blue Dragon Temple.

The little monk is called Huigen. There are thousands of monks in the entire Qinglong Temple, and only he is called by this Dharma name, which shows how much his master, Master Xuanlian, the current abbot of the Qinglong Temple, likes him.

Hye-geun lifted his feet and walked on the crumbling wooden ladder, and looked further on, the door to the room at the end was locked.

He covered his mouth and nose for three days in a row, and it was this unpleasant smell coming from the crack in the closed door.

"Senior Brother Huigen, who lives here, and why doesn't Master allow us to come close?" A few small novices who were holding a broom behind him and wanted to clean couldn't help but ask.

They were told to stay a few feet away from the door, and to sweep the stairs in front of them.

Huigen glanced at them, and Shi Shiran said, "You just clean up this place, there are a few pots of magnolia flowers in the yard, move them to this staircase, and get rid of the smell." ”

The little novice hurriedly cleaned the staircase and the yard, and brought in a few pots of fresh flowers. But the indescribable smell of the door is even stronger in the floral fragrance.

Like the fragrance of lust at the entrance to hell, even the holy monks have to change color.

"How could Master allow such a person to defile the Holy Land of Buddhism..."

Although the little novices chanted the sutra every day, the six roots were pure, and the four major were empty, they also bowed their heads in front of this smell.

When the cleaning was over, the novices fled and left.

Only Huigen folded his hands and looked at the closed door for a long time.

Only then did he recite the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, the Buddha crosses all sentient beings, the sea of suffering is endless, and the back is the shore." ”

Jing Wan'er slept well, and suddenly she had a spasm in her limbs and woke up from her dream.

It was a nightmare. Today happens to be the third day of Dali Temple.

She simply put on her clothes and got out of bed with a quick twist.

When I opened the door, it was cloudy, but something unusual seemed to have happened.

"There are always some things in this world that the Buddha will not forgive." She muttered to herself.

As soon as Jing Wan'er's feet stepped out of the door of the room, she remembered what Zhongzong said: In the future, she is not allowed to step out of Dali Temple alone, otherwise it will be regarded as a capital crime of resisting the decree.

Jing Wan'er narrowed her eyes, what His Majesty the Emperor said was very interesting, that is, if she wanted to leave Dali Temple in the future... It must be tied to Pei Tan. It seems that in the future, Miss Jing can only become a vassal of Lord Pei.

Just as she was thinking like this, she turned around and walked in one direction, even if it could only be in Dali Temple, it was more spacious than before in the miscellaneous room. There is no villain Shang Palace, and there is no toilet to clean.

"Pei Siqing, Your Majesty has no holy decree in this matter, but he sent an old slave to pass on the message, and Lord Siqing will listen to it."

As soon as she arrived in the front yard, Jing Wan'er saw the people in the courtyard at a glance, and her face changed and she hid in the corner.

Pei Tan knelt in the courtyard, and the oracle was not like an ordinary holy decree, and every word had to be memorized, because the eunuch would only say it once.

"Wechen obeys."

The white-faced eunuch smiled softly: "This escort is personally carried out by Dali Siqing, but there shall be no more than ten people with him, and too many people must not attract attention on the road, and you need to return immediately after arriving at Qinglong Temple." ”

If you want Dali Siqing to escort you personally, it should be that the escort is expensive and afraid of mistakes, but you are not allowed to have too many escorts to accompany you, what is the reason?

Pei Tan, who was kneeling on the ground, did not speak. Even if you are skeptical about the word, you can only do it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Tan couldn't help but raise his head.

The eunuch hadn't left at this time, he narrowed his eyes at Pei Tan, "Your Majesty has one more word, Lord Pei, please come forward and speak." ”

Hearing this, Pei Tan slowly got up from the ground and walked two steps to the eunuch.

I saw that the eunuch took out a letter from his wide sleeve, "Pei Siqing, this is His Majesty's secret decree, instructing Lord Siqing to open it and watch it only after he arrives at Qinglong Temple." ”

Pei Tan couldn't help but stare at the eunuch, this matter has not yet been executed, and it is already full of mystery.

Pei Tan took the letter, and saw that the seal of the letter was sealed with vermilion lacquer in the palace, and there was no counterfeiting. He put the letter in his sleeve.

At this time, the eunuch said: "In addition, His Majesty the carriage has been prepared for Lord Siqing, and he has arrived at the back gate of Dali Temple at this moment. ”

Every step of the way has already been arranged, and there is not even a respite. At this moment, the sun officially appeared in the white belly of the fish in the east, and the time had just passed.

Since he is a nobleman, why should he stay at the back door, and not even too many people are allowed to know.

The eunuch left on his own, and Pei Tan waved away the others in the courtyard, while instructing Pei to the guards: "From among the officials, select ten young and strong people to accompany you." ”

Guard Pei nodded and immediately left the courtyard.

Pei Tan looked at Jing Wan'er's hiding place.

Jing Wan'er walked out at this time, she was wearing new shoes on her feet, and her face was full of vitality, "My lord." ”

Pei Tan looked at her: "Why did you get up so early?" ”

It's no wonder that Jing Wan'er, remembering the nightmare in the middle of the night, she shook her head and said with a smile: "Wan'er has to get up early to work in the palace, how can she sleep back." ”

Those palace maids were jealous that she only had to wait for the corpse to be collected every day, and the rest of the time could rest, so they falsely accused Xinshanggong of being lazy and slippery, and asked Xinshanggong to directly brush the stinky toilets piled up in a mountain for her. What kind of stinky nest, corpses and toilets are about the same.

Seeing that Pei Tan was about to go out on an errand, Jing Wan'er took a few steps forward: "My lord, can Wan'er accompany you?" ”

Pei Tan stopped and looked at her, and the girl had a smile on her lips: "If the adults leave, Wan'er will stay alone in Dali Temple, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Zhongzong's meaning is actually that Jing Wan'er will be tied to Dali Temple in the future, in other words, leaving her alone, whatever basket happens, Pei Tan will be held responsible.

Pei Tan's eyes were gloomy, "It's only three hours to go back and forth to Qinglong Temple, and I will return to Dali Temple in three hours, you don't need to follow." ”

Jing Wan'er was a little blocked, and there seemed to be no good reason, and at this moment Pei Guard came back: "The ten officials have been counted, when does the son plan to leave." ”

Pei Tan said: "I changed my clothes and asked them to gather at the back door immediately." ”

Obviously, Zhongzong wants a quick solution, which is also Pei Tan's idea.

Taking advantage of Pei Tan's time to change clothes, Jing Wan'er still went to the back door. She once tracked Lin Jingjing here, and she was naturally familiar with the way.

When I got to the back door, I saw a carriage parked quietly, the key was that there were no windows around the carriage, and it was tightly covered.

Jing Wan'er felt a little strange, this carriage had an ordinary appearance, without any palace decorations, yes, it was like a carriage hired casually by a roadside carriage and horse dealership, very inconspicuous.

Jing Wan'er suddenly felt that this was not like a carriage, but a prisoner's carriage.

Is it a prisoner inside, a thought flashed through her mind.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the thick curtain of the carriage door was vaguely lifted, and from the dimest light, Jing Wan'er vaguely saw a pair of feet.

She chuckled inwardly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, ten officials and Pei Tan walked out of the door.

Pei Tan also saw the carriage at a glance. Although he couldn't see any emotion in his eyes, the other officials didn't have such a city.

This is really the most bizarre will carried out since he was promoted to Dali Siqing.

Jing Wan'er took the initiative to walk towards Pei Tan at this time and smiled at Pei Tan. "Your Excellency..."

She stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Pei Tan's ear.

All the officials looked at this woman, and behaved intimately with their own adults, and their ears were about to bite. Even the unrestrained Qinglou woman did not have such a large public disregard for her face and no shame.

And after Jing Wan'er said it, she looked at Pei Tan, and Pei Tan's expression did not change at this time.

But he looked at the two horses in front of him, one by one by him and Pei Guard. "Ride with me."

This is to agree to Jing Wan'er to accompany her. The girl bowed her head and smiled.

So the officials watched the woman climb onto Pei Tan's horse, and Pei Tan then got on the horse, although there was still a distance from Jing Wan'er, but it was like this

It doesn't make much difference to others.

Then all the officials got on their horses, and the procession began to move forward.

At this time, most people were still asleep, and a few people on the street seemed to be Dali Temple escorting some prisoners, and they were in a hurry and lost interest after a few glances.

Only the carriage, always quiet, as if there was no one inside.

But Zhongzong obviously wouldn't let Dali Temple escort an empty carriage.

Pei Tan ordered to speed up, Qinglong Temple is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, the royal temple is naturally extremely fragrant, and the current Qinglong Temple hosts Master Xuanlian, who is said to have been the third disciple of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang.

When the people of Dali Temple arrived at three hours, it was already the scorching sun, and all the officials had dry mouths and looked up at the majestic temple. The solemn bell rang from the temple to everyone's ears.

It is said that listening to the Buddha's Zen sound will wash away the sins of the previous life, just look at how many lost people in Chang'an City come here every day to seek salvation, you know how many souls in this world are suffering and cannot be relieved.

Jing Wan'er also looked up, and this Zen sound vaguely made her feel peaceful somewhere in her heart. It is a pity that even though the sins of previous lives can be washed away in front of the Buddha, it will not help the suffering of this life.

After thinking about it, she smiled.

Pei Tan happened to see the look on her face. Jing Wan'er was said by Zhongzong to be a fierce daughter, and she didn't know if she didn't know it, or if she noticed it and didn't care.

"Dismount."

Everyone in Dali Temple got off the horse, and Jing Wan'er also held Pei Tan's hand and stepped on the ground with both feet.

Pei Tan stepped forward first, today is the day when Qinglong Temple is closed every month, and there are no people and believers around to offer incense. Therefore, he was in the palace a few days ago, and Zhongzong said that it was the day of the closure of the temple, and the escort came.

Pei Tan stepped forward and knocked on the temple door, and after a while, the door was opened by a little novice with a white face, "Who is the donor?" ”

Pei Tan looked at him: "Pei Tan, the secretary of Dali Temple, escorted by the holy will... One person came. He turned sideways, revealing the closed carriage behind him.

When the little novice saw it, his eyes flashed.

"It turned out to be Lord Siqing, my master had already ordered me to wait here for the nobles to come."
