Some things got the beginning right, but not the end.

Jiuwu had to sigh at the emperor's brain circuit: obey.

The prince's wedding naturally caused the entire Kyoto Imperial City to boil.

In addition to relatives and friends of the newly appointed crown princess, there were also foreign envoys.

On the third day after the wedding, Liu Shuling happily came to Tanyuan Temple to find Shiliu to celebrate his birthday.

At this time, it was the foreign envoys who brought other heavy gifts and asked His Majesty the Emperor to marry the princess to the prince of their country, so as to reconcile the two countries.

Liu Yan has no special aversion to marrying a princess.

After all, the first time he made peace with this dynasty did not appear in his hands.

He's just following the old routine.

It's just that the envoys of two countries made it clear that they came for Princess Ling, which is very impressive.

After all, it is a child who has been pampered for ten years,

Liu Yan immediately said that if he wanted to marry Princess Ling, he needed to live in the princess's mansion in the imperial city for ten years.

And Princess Ling is only ten years old, at least she has to wait for her to get married.

And relatives to choose must also not be older than her a lot.

You can send the prince to the imperial city to accompany the princess first, and enhance the relationship between the two in advance.

All this persuaded one to retreat, but the other messenger was quite determined.

The envoy who was persuaded to retire immediately said that he needed to marry the princess immediately, and at least within the year he could set off.

In order to show the sincerity of their country, they are also willing to offer a layer of jade agate, which is a specialty of other countries, every year after making a kiss, and there are others such as the princess who will not violate the border as long as she is alive and so on.

Even if this condition can be exchanged for five years of border stability, Liu Yan is willing to exchange a princess for it.

Besides, the princess may not be his own daughter.

After a few days of negotiation and discussion, Yiqing, who grew up in Biyun Temple, became their last choice.

When Shi Liu knew, they had already taken Yiqing to the palace.

What Yiqing thinks doesn't matter in their eyes at all.

It's still April, and Yiqing has to stay in the palace for half a year to learn various royal etiquette, as well as other knowledge.

Du Jieyu knew that her daughter was going to be kissed, and after she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself.

After tossing for nearly ten days and finding that he couldn't change it, he directly proposed to ask his son Liu Shi to return to the vulgar.

Hearing her request, Liu Yan was silent.

The queen and the newly married crown prince Liu seemed to know that they did not speak.

In the end, Liu Yan summoned Shi Liu to the palace and asked her what she meant.

Shi Liu said calmly: "Amitabha, the poor monk is willing to serve the Buddha for life." ”

"Don't you want to have a wife and have children?"

Shi Liu folded his hands and bowed and said, "Brocade clothes and food are just for a meal. The poor monk has studied Buddhism for ten years, and he has long understood the pink skeleton. There are enough descendants of the Liu family, and there is no shortage of me to inherit the lineage. ”

From behind the screen on the side, there was a whimpering cry, and Du Chongrong's voice came intermittently with the cry: "Shi'er, do you really want to be so ruthless?" As a mother, you are the only son. ”

"Amitabha." After saying the Buddha's name, Shi Liu looked at Liu Yan firmly, and said at the same time: "I ask Your Majesty to allow the poor monk to go out and travel all over the world, hoping to better understand the Dharma." ”

Liu Yan could see the firm heart of the Buddha in her eyes, and she couldn't say why, but she felt sour for a moment in her heart.

"Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Poor monks are willing to chant and pray day and night for His Majesty and Niangniang. ”

……

After coming out of the palace, Shi Liu felt that the whole world had opened up a lot.

Since the emperor allowed her to go out, she didn't want to wait for Xia Anju to set off again.

The first thing I did when I went back was to run to find the old monk Jingming.

The old monk Jingming really hasn't changed much from ten years ago, except for being thinner, and even his mental head is better.

Looking at her, he said, "Where is the Pure Land?" ”

Shi Liu folded his hands and bowed, and slowly retreated, leaving the thatched hut in the middle of the mountain.

After silently returning to the small Zen Monastery, he asked, "Master, are we going to leave now?" ”

"Who else are you waiting for?"

"Nope."

"Then why don't you leave?"

"I'll clean up." The law immediately added: "It's right away." ”

Shi Liu shook his head, and put the precepts and other documents directly into the small space together with the flint, this precept is very important, it is necessary to go out for a walk or go to other temples to settle down and place orders.

I packed a set of monk's clothes and prepared to set off.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the small Zen temple, I saw Xinzhi running in a hurry: "Little uncle, can the little monk travel with you?" ”

"Ask you, Master."

"Master said that as long as the little uncle and ancestor agree, it will be fine."

"Then go ahead."

Xinzhi jumped happily, ran out a few steps and ran back and said, "It'll be fine soon." But wait for me. ”

"I'm waiting for you outside the temple gate."

Nobuchi got the right words and ran away quickly.

It is said that after the little novice grew up and was ordained, it was rare to see him so emotionally exposed.

Tsk, live like her in this world, except for this temple and this temple.

Being able to go out for a walk, even if you know that the road will be difficult, you still can't hide your excitement.

Shiliu himself was also very happy.

The big guy and the two good-looking monks look particularly rugged together.

But he himself was very proud of his figure.

They also collected their precept documents and put them together in a small space.

In this way, I am not afraid of being stolen in the rain.

"Master, where are we going?"

Shi Liu looked at the two guards who were faintly following the three of them behind him and said with a smile: "The road is at your feet, where you go." ”

Leaving the temple, head straight in the opposite direction to Kyoto.

In fact, Shiliu has a general route in his heart.

So it seems random, but in fact, it is also going towards the line.

Of course, if the final route goes off, she doesn't care.

The current season is lukewarm and hot, just right for travel.

Because the three of them had just gone out, their interest was still very high, so the pace of walking was much faster than that of normal walking.

As I walked, I saw a conjoined tree on the side of the road.

It grows from the same root, divides into two branches, and the trunks stand upright with each other without intersecting.

Then Nobushi looked at the tree in a daze.

The law wanted to call him, but was stopped by Shiliu.

The most important thing is to go out and get something.

Even if it's not far away.

Shi Liu also simply sat down cross-legged under the tree, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the sun gradually turned westward.

Xinzhi woke up and looked down at Shi Liu, who was still quietly reciting the silent scriptures, and the law who was waiting to lie down and fall asleep directly.

"Amitabha, thank you little uncle."

Shi Liu opened his eyes and nodded, and got up.

The legal snoring was slammed into the law, and a legal spirit rolled up, and heard Shi Liu say, "Let's go." ”

He smiled, and directly saluted the prepared big bag to his shoulder, and strode behind Shi Liu.

He turned his head and asked, "Xinzhi, it's just such a tree, you have been looking at it for a long time." ”

Xinzhi smiled and said, "Uncle Lao has been waiting for a long time. ”
