182: Bodhi Puja
Chinese This trip down the mountain, he has divined many things, but only he has not been a divination for Nanzhao!
Suddenly hearing her request, Lu Donglai had never felt a feeling from the bottom of his heart. For the hexagram master, the auspicious fortune is a fixed number, there is no need to be persistent, and there is no need to force it, but when he picked up the hexagram, he was a little more apprehensive, he never had a false hexagram, for fear that the hexagram he was divining was fierce!
"It's okay, you can do it, what else has I not experienced?" Lu Dong looked at her face, Xu drank two bowls of wine, his face was dyed red, and he looked a little good when he smiled.
He only glanced at it, then lowered his head and started the hexagram, and after looking at the hexagram, he frowned. Nan Zhao asked
"Is it a murderer?" He shook his head.
"That's?"
"Mixed luck, it seems that there is a turning point on Bodhi!" Lu Donglai took the hexagram and didn't dare to relax
"Regardless of the outcome, it didn't go well!"
"That's it! Thanked! She got up and bowed to Lu Donglai, this was the first time she had treated him so politely since they met, and the little Taoist priest was very uncomfortable.
"Can you say goodbye?" He got up, and took the initiative to pick up the unfinished bowl of wine on the stone table, and poured it into his mouth, this time he did not show the appearance of being spicy by the spirits, but wiped his mouth with his sleeve like a Tao!
"How?"
"It's like life and death!" Lu Donglai said with a calm face
"Hello do it yourself! The poor road is gone! With that, he turned and walked briskly away towards the courtyard. Nan Zhao stood in place and saw that he was gone, so he smiled.
Early in the morning, Bodhi Temple. Today is the annual Bodhi, early in the morning, from the city to the direction of the Bodhi Temple is an endless stream of carriages and horses.
There were a total of three carriages going to the Guogong Mansion, one each for Lu Donglai and Sima Feng, Zhou Yang and Zhou Yuan, and Nan Zhao and Shen Rugu.
Before coming out, she deliberately asked Shen Rugu to wear a familiar white robe, tie her hair with a crown, and look extraordinary, and she, in order to set off with Shen Ruru, she also wore a white cardigan dress, and she didn't like tossing her hair, but today is different, she deliberately asked the maid to comb a Chaoyun near fragrant bun for her, and put on her jade hairpin, which has no bright color, and is a little neat in plain elegance.
Inside the carriage, Shen Rugu looked at the people walking out of the city outside, and said a little excitedly
"Xiao Zhao, I heard that not only all the people of Yuncheng will go to worship today, but even the surrounding county towns are quite a few, so isn't the entire Bodhi Temple going to be crowded?" Nanzhao has been to the Bodhi Temple, which is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains and land, and the temple is also very large, but according to today's situation, if there is no restriction on travel, the Bodhi Temple cannot accommodate all the people who worship the Dharma.
"There are not only the emperors and princes of the Yan Kingdom who go to the Bodhi Temple, but also the envoys of other countries, in order to avoid too many people and accidents, presumably the outside of the temple will be controlled, and not everyone can enter the temple." Sure enough, they were about to arrive at the Bodhi Temple, and at the Dharma Gate outside the temple, there were many Yunzhou soldiers guarding there, and the passing carriages had to show their ID cards and confirm their identities before they could enter, while ordinary people could only worship outside the Bodhi Temple.
Nanzhao's carriage belonged to the Guogong Mansion, and the passage was very fast, and it had not yet officially reached the gate of the temple, except for the emperor's chariot, others had to stop and walk ahead.
Getting off the carriage, at about the same time, several carriages stopped on the opposite side, all of which were two-horse carriages, presumably with an extraordinary identity as the owner.
Nan Zhao didn't look carefully, but Shen Rugu thought everything was interesting, he held a folding fan in his hand, and saw a woman in a red dress coming down from the carriage, so he looked curiously.
She had already walked out a few steps before she realized that he hadn't left, and she stopped, looked back, and found that the woman Shen Ru was looking at was extremely standard, and she was very noble and extravagant under the guidance of a group of entourage.
"Wow, beauty!" Shen Rugu sighed. Nan Zhao couldn't say that she was angry, because she also felt that the woman was indeed very beautiful, and it was normal for her to prefer beauty after returning to her soul as before.
But it was Lu Donglai who got down from the carriage behind him and said with a look of disappreciation
"It's just vulgar powder!" In order to show that he was pure enough to have few desires, he didn't look at it. Shen Ru didn't think so, and joked with him
"You Taoist priests, you can't eat well, you don't drink well, you can't play well, you can't even reward a beautiful woman, what's the meaning of living your life like this? Even if you become an immortal and live forever, you don't have the happiness of just a few decades of life! Lu Donglai glanced at him,
"If Shen Rugu heard you say this, he would probably be angry to death!"
"Little Taoist, you-" Shen Ru was so easily annoyed by him! Nan Zhao listened to the two of them arguing beside him, but he couldn't help but think that if it was Shen Ru in the past, he would never be angry because of someone else's words, even if others pointed at his face and scolded, he just sneered.
She looked at Shen Rugu beside her, and that strange feeling repeated in her heart again.
"His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an—" They were talking here, and the women in fancy clothes over there were already walking towards them, surrounded by a group of people!
Zhou Yang knew each other and called decently
"Princess Bright Moon!" Zhou Yuan also knew this woman in gorgeous clothes, but she was not as respectful as her ninth brother, she hid behind and rolled her eyes, and then ran to Nan Zhao to ask in a low voice
"Just this Princess Mingyue, the eldest princess of Leguo, said to be the first beauty in Leguo, do you think she is beautiful?" As soon as Nan Zhao heard that it was the eldest princess of Leguo, he immediately looked behind Princess Mingyue and saw that a white-haired old woman was about 100 years old, but she looked calm and relaxed, as if she was only over half a hundred years old.
When she was looking at the old woman, the old woman was looking at Lu Donglai next to her, presumably thinking the same as her, all looking at who the warlocks who followed these princes and nobles were capable people, after reading it, the old woman whispered something to Princess Mingyue, Princess Mingyue's eyes also looked at Lu Donglai, and asked very curiously
"This little brother with King Tai'an's young face and silver hair is really amazing, I don't know where to practice the monk?" The distinguished guests all took the initiative to ask, according to etiquette, Lu Donglai should have stepped forward and took the initiative to report his name, but he didn't seem to hear it, Qinggao stood aside, and Zhou Yang replied politely
"His name is Lu Donglai, and he is a disciple of Nanxian Mountain Yiwu Zhenren!"
"It turned out to be the high road of Nanxian Mountain, and there are many immortals in Nanxian, and this Lu Dao Chang is extraordinary at a glance!" Princess Mingyue praised without hesitation.
At this time, the white-haired old woman's name was Feng Xiang, a warlock who practiced Yin Magic, and she was born with a pair of psychic eyes, wandering between Yin and Yang, unimpeded.
She noticed at a glance that Lu Donglai was because Lu Donglai's appearance was really chic among the nobles in gorgeous clothes, so she asked Princess Mingyue to ask him about his origin for the first time, but after seeing Lu Donglai, her eyes gathered and fell into the corner, and the woman in white who was not very well-dressed couldn't help but be a little amazed, and whispered to Princess Mingyue
"I didn't expect that by the side of this unfavored King of Tai'an, there is not only the high road of Nanxian Mountain, but also a high-ranking person." Princess Mingyue grew up in Feng Xiangpo's whispering since she was a child, and she also knows a lot about the affairs of Xuanmen
"Let this princess guess who it is—" Her eyes swept over the few people standing beside Zhou Yang, the fourteenth princess Zhou Yuan she had seen, naturally not, the few people wearing long knives were guards, not warlocks, and finally her eyes fell on the stunning Shen Rugu,
"Could it be that beautiful son?" Shen Rugu felt that Princess Mingyue was looking at him at this moment, coughed lightly, pretended not to see it, shook the folding fan, and turned to the other side.
Feng Xiangpo shook her head and nodded
"That beautiful boy does have something on his body except for that skin, but that thing doesn't belong to him, but to the woman in white next to him!" Mingyue was a little surprised, just because she also saw Nan Zhao clearly, she was younger than her, and she didn't have a decent magic weapon on her body, and she didn't even look amazing, at most she was just beautiful, such a person was also a character who could make Feng Xiangpo sigh?
I really don't understand. Feng Xiangpo told her
"The princess can't see the aura around her, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Bodhi today can have such a strong aura as her." Princess Mingyue immediately remembered something and asked
"When I first arrived in Yunzhou, I heard that there was a big monster in Yunzhou, and I was captured by a woman, could it be her?" Although Feng Xiangpo had never seen Nan Zhao, she was basically sure and nodded her head to confirm
"She-she's supposed to be the rumored spirit girl!" These days in Yunzhou, there is a lot of inquiry about the spirit girl, as a yin walker, I have always wanted to meet the spirit girl, but now I only see a powerful aura, how powerful it really is, and I have to find an opportunity to test it.
Here, Lu Donglai is also talking to Nan Zhao
"In the envoys of the nations this time, the four princes of the Jin Kingdom brought a warlock who was good at using yin and yang techniques, named Haina, this person's yin and yang techniques are similar to the Ouyang family that was destroyed not long ago, and they should have been taught by the same family, but the Ouyang family later developed into a separate family, and Haina came from the Yin and Yang Cave of Haina Mountain in the Jin Kingdom!"
"So quickly, you even found out the warlocks from other countries?" Nan Zhao always thought that this little Taoist priest didn't care about the world, but it turned out that he was the same as Feng Xiangpo next to Princess Mingyue, and he tried it before he died!
"Definitely!" Lu Donglai shook his head and said
"There are Yin walkers in the Le Kingdom, and there are Yin and Yang Divisions in the Jin Kingdom, and the poor road has indeed heard of it, but the Hong State Mission came the latest this time, and I heard that there is also a master around the Chengwang Shizi of the Hong Kingdom, but in the past few days, I have seen Wang Shizi enter and leave the post station many times, but I don't see who the master is." So he was very curious, who is such a hidden person, who is capable of it!
"What should appear, it will naturally appear!" Nan Zhao was very calm, and he had something very important to say at this time
"Little Taoist, if you are up, what is something that I am entangled in, you have to watch my family closely, he has two spiritual spirits on him, don't be stolen by others!" The people who come here are all from the Xuanmen, which one has no ability, and which one is not a little greedy.
Speaking of this, Lu Donglai couldn't help but sigh
"Hey, how did Shen Gongzi, who turned his hands and overturned ** in the past, become today's weak son?" Nan Zhao said unevenly
"You were born with purple qi, you must have been extraordinary in your previous life, but you don't want to think about it, my family is just an ordinary person, and the reason why he was powerful in the past was only because of his spirit." Speaking of this, Lu Donglai's expression changed, and when they walked towards the temple gate, they reminded them softly
"Little Spirit Girl, do you think that your Shen Gongzi was an ordinary man in his previous life?" Nan Zhao stopped and looked at him suspiciously.
Lu Donglai wanted to talk to her about this matter for a long time! He said
"From the catastrophe three hundred years ago, the world has heard the most, all of which are the grievances and entanglements between you and Wen Ye, but few people have elaborated on the person who is very important to you, and even in those Jianghu words, he only has a name that does not look like his real name, called 'Mei', as for where he was born and how he died, no one knows, don't you think it's strange?" Nan Zhao listened carefully and replied
"Go on."
"When I tracked down Ziyu's death before, I found that his body was missing, so I traced it to the Shen family in Qingzhou, and then I asked Shen Ruguo, where Ziyu's body was, and he told me that he had been properly buried, and said that after the incident, take me to worship, before that, he borrowed Ziyu's corpse to do something, little spirit girl, you should know better than me!" This old incident was brought up again, and Nan Zhao immediately remembered the process of being rescued by Shen Ru and Zhuang Ziyu in the Black Mountain.
"At that time...... As in Zhuang Ziyu's corpse! When she said this, her brow furrowed slightly. What Lu Donglai wanted to emphasize was also this matter, he deliberately kept a distance from Zhou Yang and the others in front of him, and stopped to talk to her
"You and I have been cultivating for several years, and you have only seen ghosts, when have you ever seen people on their bodies?"
"As he was, he had a spirit, and perhaps it was the spirit that made him ......"
"How is that possible!" He denied it outright
"If the spirit helps him to go to the corpse or the human body, you will give the spirit to the poor dao, and the poor dao does not have the ability to go out of the body and go to someone else's body!" Nan Zhao suddenly realized
"You mean, these skills on Ru O come from his past life?" Lu Donglai shook his head and said
"I've only heard of remembering the things of my previous life, but I haven't heard of awakening the ability of my previous life, even if you want to control the spirit flower in your palm, you still need to work hard to collect the spirit spirit!" After hearing this, she was indeed puzzled by this question.
Lu Donglai might as well mention one more thing, he said
"The first time we met in the Chenghuang Temple in the underworld, I went down to the Yin Road, just to find Shen Ru, because I didn't want to hurt the Yin Cha, I was beaten half to death by the Yin generals below, and then you also came down to find Shen Rusu, I remember at that time, you fought with the little ghost of the City God, and the City God was forced to be helpless, so he handed me over, at that time you said that he lied to you, but in fact, the City God never lied to you, and the person who fought with the black impermanence at that time was indeed me, and finally the City God said a word, he said, Shen Ru died a long time ago!" Nan Zhao thought about that paragraph seriously, and she knew what he said.
"I want to ask you something!" She asked
"What?"
"At that time, when you were fighting with the little ghost, I took advantage of the chaos to run, and after that, you will definitely die, how did you leave the City God Temple?" Nan Zhao still has a vague memory of that time in the underworld, she replied
"At that time, I was already valued by my soul, and I was unconscious, Xu was the third woman who summoned my soul in the yang world, and even if I was brought back, at that time, I was close to the soul and scattered, and I had hallucinations, and I saw that I was holding ...... as before" Lu Donglai finally heard the result he wanted to hear, he said
"If you are captured by the little ghost of the city god, you can be summoned back to the yang world with the little Taoism of the third woman? It's a dream! ”
"Then you say, how did I get back to the yang world?"
"You're not hallucinating!" He guessed directly
"What you saw at that time was indeed Shen Ruguo!"
"Are you saying that Shen Rugu was also arrested by the City God Master at that time?" He shook his head,
"Have you ever thought about it, one day in the yang world, one month in the underworld, where do you think he was during the time when he was out of the yin world?" Nan Zhao really didn't think about this matter carefully, because in the past, Shen Rugu in her eyes had always been a divine dragon who saw the head and did not see the end, she didn't ask for much, as long as he could come back alive.
But if you trace it carefully, when Shen Rugu later appeared in Dujia Villa on Meishan, he did disappear for a long time, and when she went to find her for the second time, the hallucinations she saw were indeed Shen Rugu, so what did he do in the underworld for so long?
If she is like this time, she is locked up in the Yin Human Division, how can she be rescued from the hands of the City God?
"If my hallucinations are true, then I will be unhindered in Hades at that time!" But the problem is that she was delirious at the time, and she couldn't tell the truth from the fake at all, if it wasn't for Shen Ru recovering her memory to answer him, no matter how they guessed here, they wouldn't have been able to get an answer.
"Nanzhao, Donglai, what interesting things are you talking about there?" Zhou Yang had been chatting with the Princess Mingyue in front of him for a long time, and he really had nothing to say, so he finally asked.
Nan Zhao immediately returned to his usual posture, walked over a few steps, and said apologetically
"Brother Jiu has been waiting for a long time!"
"It's not too early, let's go to the temple!" Zhou Yang proposed. They couldn't wait to go in to see the Bodhi Temple, which was gathered by the world's Xuanmen, so they entered the temple gate.
In front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there is a spacious palace, four Bodhi trees are planted around them, and they have grown thick trunks, it is rumored that these four Bodhi trees were planted when the temple was built, and they are now a thousand years old, and they have already cultivated spirituality, many people are talking about this spirituality under the tree, and with Zhou Yang and others entering, their eyes have gathered.
"That is the ninth son of Emperor Yan, King Tai'an, I heard that he was born with a spiritual seal, which can ward off disasters and evil spirits......"
"Emperor Yan has arrived—" With Cao Gui'an's high-pitched voice, everyone knelt down when they heard the sound and saluted Emperor Yan who came from outside the gate.
Emperor Yan was wearing a bright yellow gold-threaded dragon robe today, and he was more energetic than when he saw him the night before, and he strode in under the guidance of the imperial attendant and the national teacher Wuyazi, walked to the high platform in front of the Great Bear Treasure Hall and stopped, and raised his hand to let everyone get up.
At this time, a monk dressed in a dark red robe and a Dharma cloak also stepped up the steps, saluted the emperor, and announced the beginning.
Bodhi is a ceremony to promote Buddhism and pray for the blessings of the common people, because Buddhism is inclusive, so there is no restriction on sects and beliefs, and practitioners with this kind heart can come to pay respects.
Soon, Emperor Yan sat on the throne prepared for him, and the rest of the people stood on either side. Because there are foreign missions to visit, so the first mission comes up one by one to offer gifts, that is, the gifts carried by the missions will naturally not be ordinary jewelry and property, and the missions represent the face of their own countries, and they all hope to win the lottery in this opening gift, so their gifts are very attentive.
Princess Mingyue acted like her appearance, and she didn't like to hide her edge, so she was naturally the first to come forward, holding a scroll in her hand, and her figure was bright in the spotlight, along the red carpet on the ground, and walked to the place in front of the steps.
"Mingyue, the eldest princess of Leguo, is here today to congratulate Bodhi on taking root and purifying the common people! When she came from Leguo, Mingyue brought an ancient painting of her homeland, which could not be respected! "Everyone is the first Princess Mingyue with a stunning appearance, I want her to be the first to come up to give a gift, it should be some kind of rare treasure, I don't want it to be such a picture scroll in her hand, the scrolls are made of wood, and it has never been a famous hand, so it can't help but be a little disappointed.
Mingyue naturally heard the whispering of the crowd around her, but this seemed to be what she wanted to see, she smiled slightly, disapproving.
Emperor Yan, who was sitting above, got up and said
"Mingyue came from afar, there must be something wonderful about this ancient painting brought, open it quickly, let me see it!"
"Yes!" Mingyue saluted, then nodded to the maid who had been waiting next to her for a long time, and came over with each other to unfold the scroll in his hand.
The scroll is ten feet long, and in the process of slowly unfolding, you can see that there are mountains, rivers, bridges, houses, and people on the scroll, just like a painting of a folk market.
"The water is moving!"
"People are moving, too!" Not only the people were moving, but even the process of the person buying melons and fruits in the market and walking home with them was also recorded in the scroll.
Emperor Yan looked straight at it and sighed
"It's really an eye-opener for me to have such a divine painting in this world!" Mingyue saw that everyone was talking about this ancient painting, and her face was a little more proud, and she raised her hand to explain to Emperor Yan
"This painting is called the collection of ancient paintings, is a hundred years ago, a heavenly immortal came down to my country, saw my country is simple, the scenery is picturesque, so the pen is painted, and given to the royal family of my country, this hundred years, has been treasured in the palace of my country!" As soon as the smart people heard it, they knew that there was another meaning to these words, even the gods in the sky came down to earth, and they all chose Leguo, and they also deigned to paint, implying that Leguo would become the overlord of the next unified Kyushu!
Listen to it or not, the missions of the countries that came here today have this thought, so in addition to praising the wonder of ancient paintings, everyone is looking forward to what kind of treasures and treasures will be presented in the other two countries in the future.
The fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom was about to be the first to come up just now, but he didn't expect to be robbed by Princess Mingyue, this person is also aggressive, so he said not so politely
"It's just a moving painting, it's not surprising, the treasure that this king wants to offer today is several times more wonderful than Princess Mingyue's moving painting!" When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.
Princess Mingyue also turned pale because of this, and said mockingly
"The fourth king of Jin has such a big breath!" At this time, Lu Donglai, who was standing next to Nan Zhao, said with a smile
"The first scene of the day is on!" Cat flutter Chinese
