Chapter 102: The Divine Stick
In the season of spring and summer, the sun is not thick or light, and it emerges from the high palace wall, and the wisps of it shine obliquely, and it is full of softness wrapped around people.
The red wall and blue bricks, the yellow tiles of the Zhumen, and the fierce stone lions on both sides of the door are more lined with the solemnity and dignity of the palace.
The corridors in the palace are long and deep, and you can't see the end at a glance, and there are many forks in the road, so it's easy to get lost if you're not familiar with it.
"Little master, where are we going?" Xiyue followed behind Yu Qing and had been walking for a while, but she didn't see where her little master was going.
Yu Qing walked in front, her posture was straight, her head was not crooked, and a pair of smart eyes looked left and right from time to time.
"It's not that you and Wanhe have been taking me out for a walk, isn't this a casual stroll." Ahem, Yu Qing didn't want to admit that she was lost.
"If you want to wander around, don't go any further, the slave will accompany you around the Imperial Garden." Xiyue held Yu Qing's forearm and led her to turn around and walk in the other direction.
Xiyue sighed in her heart, these days, the little master has always been thinking about it with that jade pendant, and he doesn't know what door to see.
She was afraid that Yu Qing would be suffocated, so she persuaded her many times before letting Yu Qing move her steps.
Yu Qing is now more and more nervous about Feng Jingyuan, and the emperor has sent a few guards to guard Wenhua Palace, and she can't be completely at ease.
Whenever you go out, Xiyue or Wanhe always has to leave someone to take care of it.
Today, I accompanied the little master, and the evening lotus stayed in the palace to take care of the little prince.
The two of them have been walking aimlessly for almost an hour, even if Xiyue has been serving Yuqing in the mansion since she was a child, she has not walked for such a long time in one go.
At present, I can't go to the Baohua Palace, so I can only discuss with Yu Qing to go to the Imperial Garden.
"What's the matter, does the Baohua Hall have a ritual?" If Xiyue didn't say it, Yu Qing really didn't notice.
In the distance, the door of the Baohua Hall opened, and on both sides of the door, there were guards standing on the steps, and some people in monk robes went in and out.
Unlike the Taihe Hall, which is responsible for the banquet and celebration of the clan, the Baohua Hall is a large hall for praying for blessings and worshiping ancestors in the palace, and it is very solemn.
Feng Jingyuan is the prince, and the 100-day ceremony is held in the Taihe Palace, which is already particularly valued by the emperor.
"Little master, the Queen Mother invited Master Chen to Baohua Hall to pray for blessings and chant, and idle people are not allowed to approach."
Master Lichen has been in the palace for three days, and Yu Qing has not gone out of Wenhua Palace, so naturally he doesn't know about it.
"Master Chen, who is it?" Yu Qing herself does not believe in gods and Buddhas, and naturally she has never paid attention to this aspect when she came to this world.
can be specially invited to the palace by the Queen Mother, presumably the reputation should be not small.
Xiyue knew that Yu Qing didn't remember anything, so she didn't care, Master Lichen was a holy monk who even children knew.
Legend has it that Master Chen, who was born in a neighboring country, did not show anything outstanding when he was a child, but was stupid and often ridiculed by his neighbors.
Once I went up to the mountain to play, and when I came back, I suddenly opened my mind, had an epiphany, and became a monk on the spot, and people said that the master must have had some adventure, but the master himself did not remember what happened on the mountain, and people went to the mountain to look for it, and there was nothing special.
After that, the master practiced in a famous temple in a neighboring country, and when he grew up, he decided to travel to various countries to promote evil and promote good, and to spread Buddhism.
During this trip to her country, the Queen Mother heard about it and sent someone to invite the master into the palace to pray for the royal family and the world.
"Oh." Yu Qing didn't think about it, it must be a tricky and deceived god, and when she heard it, she made up a miraculous story of enlightenment in order to advertise herself.
"Oh?! Little master, how can you be so indifferent? Xiyue was surprised, and thought that after she finished speaking, she would show a respectful and pious expression.
"This ...... Well...... "Yu Qing must not say that he is an atheist, otherwise he will be dipped in a pig cage as a weirdo in this era."
"It is said that Master Chenchen can take advantage of good fortune and evil, fortune and fortune, fortune and marriage, and you can know the past and present lives of the Buddha by pinching your fingers." Xiyue's face was full of admiration and longing, if she was lucky enough to meet the master, how good it would be to make a hexagram for herself.
"Xiyue, why don't we go over and have a look." Although she didn't believe it, it didn't prevent her from being curious, she was said by Xiyue to be like a fairy outside the sky, if she came to the world, she wanted to see if this person really had three heads and six arms.
"Hey! Little Lord! You go slower! Xiyue caught up with Yu Qing with small steps.
What Yu Qing decides, others can never stop, Xiyue resigned herself to her fate, and after walking for so long, her little master can still walk like a fly, which really makes her admire.
Close to the Baohua Hall, the sound of monks chanting Buddhist scriptures floats in the air, the hall is empty, the Sanskrit sound surrounds the ears, even if the sun does not believe in Buddhism, there is a sense of holiness and purity.
"Qing noble, the Queen Mother has an order, no one is allowed to disturb the master to pray for blessings." The guards on both sides of the temple gate held the hilts of their swords and blocked in front of Yu Qing.
Before Yu Qing's feet touched the threshold, he was forced to take it back.
"If I don't go in, I'll just take a look at the door, okay?" Yu Qing's eyes couldn't help but drift into the hall, wanting to see what the beloved Master Lichen looked like in Xiyue's mouth, but three eyes and four mouths.
"Noble Qing, don't make it difficult for us." The guard said resolutely.
Yu Qing glanced at the guards dissatisfied, the guards bowed their heads and did not dare to look at them, Yu Qing also knew their responsibilities, no longer insisted, and planned to turn around and leave.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
There was a sound of Amitabha Buddha behind Yu Qing, the voice was green and powerful, and Yu Qing turned his head to see that it was an old monk who was almost ancient.
The body is thin, but the face is in good spirits, and he has a white beard, which is quite a bit of a fairy wind and bones.
As soon as the guards saw the comer, they saluted respectfully and called, "Zen Master Chen." ”
Yu Qing raised his eyebrows, this is Master Chen.
"This noble person has a relationship with the Buddha, and he can enter the temple to worship without formality." Master Lichen clasped his hands together and said in a low voice.
"Yes, please be a nobleman." The guards gave way sideways, signaling that Yu Qing could enter.
Yu Qing opened her mouth in surprise, didn't say anything, and stepped into the hall.
It seems that this master of the dust is far more respected than he imagined, and the password can be above the queen mother.
This time, Yu Qing really thought too much, but the guards were just ordered by the Queen Mother, and everything was arranged by the master.
Xiyue was stopped by the guards and couldn't enter the hall, but Yu Qing didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but stood at the door, staring at Master Chen in amazement.
After entering the hall, Master Lichen did not talk to Yu Qing again, but sat on a golden futon, closed his eyes and chanted.
Yu Qingzhen stared at Master Chen for a long time, and Master Chen's true old monk entered the Ding, letting the wind blow from east to west, north and south, I didn't move.
It didn't take long for Yu Qing to be defeated, and he was determined to be qualitative, and he naturally couldn't compare with an old monk who was sanctimonious all year round.
Yu Qing retracted her gaze, it was really boring, and she began to look left and right, looking at the Baohua Palace.
Different from the Taihe Temple, the Baohua Hall not only enshrines the statue of Sakyamuni, but also has a Guanyin Bodhisattva on the altar in front of the shrine.
The incense burner on the offering table was burning with three extremely ordinary herbs and trees, and Master Lichen sat in the hall, and a total of twelve little novices sat on both sides behind him.
Yu Qing nodded, but it was not as pompous and complicated as she imagined.
She was going to leave without saying hello, but at this time, Master Lichen spoke: "Now that you have entered the hall, why don't you burn incense and pray for blessings, and pray for the blessing of the Buddha." ”
Yu Qing looked down, Master Lichen didn't open her eyes, she still maintained the posture just now, she didn't know what to think, and blurted out; "It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, and the same is true for the Buddha."
"Little Lord!" Xiyue outside the hall heard it clearly, and exclaimed anxiously.
How could the little master say this in front of Master Chen, if the Queen Mother knew, it would be troublesome.
When Master Lichen heard this, he looked at Yu Qing, and did not hear the surprise and annoyance of people who did not respect the gods and Buddhas, but his face was calm, as if he knew that Yu Qing would say this.
Get up and smile, put your hands together, "The saint seeks the heart but not the Buddha, and the fool does not seek the Buddha." Qing Guiren has deep roots in wisdom, and he really has a relationship with my Buddha. ”
This time it was Yuqing's turn to be surprised, the monk ate fasting and recited the Buddha more, and he really had a big heart, or maybe it was because of her noble status, it was not easy to offend, so he came back with a round talk.
No matter what it was, Yu Qing didn't want to see it, didn't plan to pay attention to it, shook his head and walked out of the hall.
"Qing noble, if you come, you will be safe, everything is from the heart, you have to always, Amitabha Buddha ......" Master Lichen looked at Yu Qing's back and muttered.
Yu Qing seemed to hear what Master Chen said again, and when she looked back, Master Chen had recovered the way she had gotten up, sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue, and continued to chant and pray for blessings.
"Little master, you were about to scare the slave to death just now." Xiyue's words were true, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, didn't you listen to what the old monk said, your little master and I, I have deep roots in wisdom and have a relationship with the Buddha." Hmph, the special language of the god stick, this dust is really a strange bald donkey who can only bluff people with good words.
Xiyue couldn't hear Yu Qing call Master Chen an old monk, and changed the topic angrily, "Little master, shall we go back to the palace?" ”
"Don't go back, go to the imperial dining room." Yu Qing said weakly.
I was going to go to the imperial dining room to see Xiao Mingzi, but I turned left and right, lost my direction, and I really haven't delivered food for a long time, and I'm not even familiar with the road in the palace.
It's also strange to say, Yu Qing thought that he would walk in a daze for a while, but who knew that since he hit the Baohua Palace, he seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and soon found the imperial dining room.
Returned to the familiar imperial dining room again, it is really a thing or a person.
Yu Qing saw Xiao Mingzi scolding the cook in the imperial dining room, as if some dishes were not ready.
wanted to quietly walk over and surprise him, who knew that the people next to him saw her and gave a big salute first, Xiao Mingzi had already seen her, and there was no other way to call Yuqing.
"The slave has seen the noble person, and the noble person is auspicious." Xiao Mingzi was very happy when he saw that it was more than sunny, and he was very happy.
"Hurry up, what are you polite to me?" Yu Qing helped Xiao Mingzi up and said.
"You are a noble person now, you still have to pay attention, what kind of relationship you have become with us minions, let others catch the handle."
After all, they are friends who have struggled together, and his position as the head of the company is because of Yuqing, and he really hopes that Yuqing will get better and better.
"Okay, what are they doing?" Yu Qing knew in her heart that Xiao Mingzi was worried about herself, so she silently wrote it down.
