Whoever has a big dream is the first to know, I know it in my life.

A winter morning is perfect for a lazy night's sleep, Shao Hui lay in the warm quilt, reluctant to get up, and waited until his stomach was rumbling with hunger before he opened his eyes.

He slept on a six-pillar carved stepping bed, surrounded by a splendid silk curtain, enclosing a quiet space that kept warm and shaded out the light, and slept very comfortably. He lifted the silk curtain and saw that the weather outside was already bright.

"Where have all the people gone?" he muttered quietly, not seeing Gongsun Yu and Chengshan.

"The national teacher gets up early. ”

Shao Hui was startled, this voice was a little unfamiliar.

"Who's talking?"

"It's me, Zhang Ji. He is a servant of Fengchen Mansion, the ancient official eunuch family changed the name of the subordinate, generally after the surname of the official family added a single word such as "auspicious, auspicious, such as, Yi", Fengchen Mansion is the residence of the Zhang brothers, the domestic servant naturally takes Zhang as the surname, it seems that Zhang Ji is the first among all the servants.

Shao Hui looked at his outfit and didn't ask much. "What time is it?"

"It's the right time. ”

"What?" Shao Hui was taken aback, he didn't know what time it was, but after thinking about it, it was already dawn anyway, and his stomach was very punctual, it was impossible to miss lunch, it was estimated that it was almost 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning.

"Is there anything to eat?" he sat up lazily.

"The national teacher doesn't wash up first?" Zhang Ji was a little surprised.

"Where?" Shao Hui was a little embarrassed, he should pay attention to his image, so under Zhang Ji's service, he finished washing and changing.

Shao Hui was not very familiar with these processes, and his actions were a little clumsy, so Zhang Ji secretly laughed on the side.

"Bold!" Shao Hui felt that this little guy was a little naughty, and he reached out and patted Zhang Ji's head.

These little guys really know how to look at their eyes, he has already seen that Shao Hui is just a young man with a pure nature, although he was named a national teacher by Wu Zetian, but in fact he is still childish, and his late rise is enough to explain the problem.

"Did the national teacher sleep well last night?" Zhang Ji was observing his words on the side, he felt that Shao Hui was not angry, so he had the courage to chat with Shao Hui.

"Not bad, where did both of them go?"

"Protectors and scholars?"

"yes. ”

"They went out early in the morning, and I heard that they were summoned to the palace by His Majesty. ”

"Why didn't you call me?"

Zhang Ji had no way to answer this question, how could the master's intentions be known? Shao Hui stared at him a few more times, although Zhang Ji was not tall and thin, he was very well-behaved.

"Maybe Your Majesty will come to the national teacher right away. Although Zhang Ji was young, he also knew Xue Huaiyi's story, and saw that Shao Hui was strong and very good-looking, so he also guessed a few points.

Shao Hui didn't care so much, he had to fill his stomach first. Zhang Ji hurriedly passed the word again and served a hearty breakfast. Shao Hui doesn't care about any meat taboos, what is delicious to eat. Zhang Ji laughed secretly on the side again, he didn't expect that this was really a fake monk.

At this time, he ran into a small house. "Qi Qi National Teacher, Master Kukai of the White Horse Temple Prison Courtyard asks to see you. ”

"Who?" Shao Hui didn't hear clearly.

"Master Kukai of the White Horse Temple Prison Courtyard asks to see you. ”

"What is he doing here?" Shao Hui muttered to himself, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood. Since Wu Zetian appointed him as the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, they must have gotten the news and came to welcome them back.

"I'm not going to go so far. Shao Hui muttered again, but he saw that the messenger was still kneeling, so he said again. "I see, you go down first. ”

But he suddenly thought about it, and it seemed that he shouldn't refuse.

"Come back. He shouted, and the little guy turned around and stood there respectfully.

"When I'm done eating, you call him over. ”

"Yes. ”

Shao Hui felt that since he had this opportunity, he had to make good use of it. And he doesn't know much about Buddhism, so it's better to go back to the White Horse Temple and find a few monks to discuss and study.

Having made up his mind, he quickly finished his breakfast. After cleaning up, he asked Zhang Ji to serve and get dressed. is still dressed in a colorful brocade robe, and people rely on clothes and horses to support saddles, which is not false at all. Even if he doesn't understand anything, wearing this outfit can strengthen his courage.

The servant led Kukai in, and as soon as he saw Shaohui, he hurriedly bowed down and bowed.

"Meet the Great Treasure National Master. He lay on the ground and kowtowed, looking very religious. Shao Hui thought it was funny, and he pretended to be serious and said.

"Get up. Lookouts. ”

Kukai couldn't stop thanking him, his eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth were all smiling, he was very happy, his second spring was coming.

"Congratulations to the national teacher on his ascension to the throne, when will he return to the White Horse Temple to preach the Dharma?" The purpose of Kukai's trip is very clear, in addition to the almost pulling relationship, he mainly wants Shaohui to go back to the White Horse Temple, as long as the national teacher arrives, the incense of the White Horse Temple will not be prosperous.

"It's cold, I'll go back in a few days. Shao Hui learned to pretend and play with the desire to escape. If Kukai asks for him to go back, he agrees, and it will be shameless.

"Is the national teacher worried about the cold and the long distance?" Kukai thought of his thoughts as he observed his words. "The poor monk brought the seven treasures of the royal gift of the incense car, the snow on the road has been cleaned, please deign to drive, the monks in the temple are waiting, please do not shirk!"

After speaking, Fahai knelt down in front of Shao Hui in fear, although Shao Hui was just a hairy young man, but since he had been named a national teacher, he should have no less courtesy.

Seeing that he was so respectful and sincere, Shao Hui stood up. "Okay, I'll go with you. ”

Kukai was grateful again, and he hurriedly led Shao Hui out of the door, for fear that he would change his mind again at some point.

The Zhang brothers were not in the mansion, so Shao Hui didn't need to say goodbye to anyone, but he suddenly thought of something, so he turned to Zhang Ji and said. "When the two of them came back, they told them that I had gone to the White Horse Temple and that they would come to me if they had time. ”

"Yes. ”

Acting alone, Shao Hui still feels bottomless in his heart, without the accumulation of knowledge and the formation of habits, he comes to this strange and familiar world, he must be careful everywhere, otherwise once his tail is exposed, it will be very embarrassing.

The carriage is full of spring, fragrant, and luxuriously decorated. The silk fabric inside and out, embroidered with flying drums, the four corners of the curtain are pendant with pearls and gems, shining in the sun, looking brilliant and fairy, four snow-white high-headed horses, steady pace pulling the car forward.

Although this was the most luxurious vehicle at the time, Shao Hui still felt that it was very bumpy, but it was full of style, and he was satisfied.

When he came to the gate of the temple, as soon as the curtain was lifted, Shao Hui was stunned by the scene in front of him! I saw a large number of people kneeling in the dark outside, and the monks were all wearing formal monk robes, and all kinds of magic weapons, treasure banners, incense burners, and law frames were all available, which dazzled him, and Shao Hui couldn't help but be a little nervous, he had never seen such a big battle.

"National teacher, please get out of the car. Kukai reminded respectfully beside him.

After Shao Hui got out of the car, an old monk walked over, he was kind and kind-eyed, and he was dressed in a robe.

"Meet the national teacher. ”

"This is the former abbot of the temple, the old monk Xuyuan. "Now that the new host has arrived, the old monk Xuyuan should give way, and Kukai is also very proud, he can finally get rid of the interference of this old antique.

It turned out that after Xue Huaiyi's death, the imperial court sent a respected mage to manage the White Horse Temple, hoping to restore the dignity of the royal temple in the past. After the old monk Xuyuan came here, he tried his best to straighten out the temple affairs and slowly restored the normal law. However, there are still some fake monks in the Xue Huaiyi period who do not leave, such as the prison Kukai is one of them. They were greeted by the officials of the imperial court, and they tended to be inflammatory, so the old monk had nothing to do with them.

Now that Wu Zetian has assigned a new abbot to come over, it seems that his efforts are about to be in vain.

Shao Hui was a little embarrassed, he actually came to replace this respected old monk, but there was no other way but to take one step at a time.

Surrounded by everyone, he entered the temple gate, and after paying homage to the three Buddhas on the Mahavira Hall, they came to the abbot's room in the side courtyard. It has been renovated to welcome a new owner.

After everyone sat down, Kukai behaved very actively, and he used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to publicize the spell that Shao Hui had cast in front of Wu Zetian yesterday. Shao Hui was flying in the day at the banquet at that time, and after he reached the air, he was clearly seen by many people in Luoyang City, especially his monk's outfit, which was even more dazzling in broad daylight. Later, he was named the Great Treasure National Teacher and concurrently served as the host of the White Horse Temple, so the next morning, the gate of the White Horse Temple was crowded with people.

At the same time, there are many relatives of the emperor and dignitaries who come to join in the fun, and Kukai is busy introducing them, and it seems that the scenery of the White Horse Temple has regained its former scenery.

Shao Hui sat there, trying to keep it as silent as possible. He kept nodding and smiling, acting amiable, but he kept beating the drum in his heart, and he didn't know when he would finish tossing.

When it was time for lunch, Kukai was busy arranging for Shaohui to eat, although the monks here were very well-behaved, but the dignitaries in the courtyard were still noisy and shouting, and they all wanted to see the demeanor of the national teacher.

After lunch, Kukai was busy arranging for Shaohui to rest, the temple was still overcrowded, if Shaohui kept receiving the monks who came to worship, it was estimated that three days and three nights would not be over.

The old monk Xuyuan had been quietly following him, and he was always silent, carefully observing the young national teacher. Hearing that Kukai arranged for everyone to retreat so that Shaohui could rest, the old monk Xuyuan stood up and prepared to go out.

"Can the old abbot stay?" Shao Hui wanted to use this time to have a good chat with the old monk.

"Yes. The old monk hesitated for a moment and stopped.

Kukai, who was standing on the side, was a little disappointed when he heard that Shao Hui was going to talk to the old monk Xuyuan alone. Why isn't it yourself who stays?

But since Shao Hui arranged it like this, he was helpless, so he smiled all over his face and retreated with everyone, leaving Shao Hui and the old monk Xuyuan in the room.
