Chapter 176: The Prince's Means
Shuli's solo departure was the first major blow to Yifeng after he consciously shouldered the heavy responsibility of Buddhism.
It's like a wind driving a light boat to the shore, but suddenly his hand slips, and he accidentally slides a blade oar into the water, and this bitter sea is deep, will the blade oar float next to the boat in the future?
The path of Buddhism can be very broad, accommodating thousands of worlds and sentient beings, and the path of Buddhism is also so narrow that it cannot accommodate a person who is a sincere cultivator.
Just as everyone was falling into a cold sadness, Master Ran sensed that on the other side of the city street, there were several powerful auras approaching.
Liao Yu also felt it, and she immediately said, "Come here, don't disperse, someone is coming." ”
All the disciples gathered around, and at this time they heard a sonorous and powerful footsteps, which Ichikaze had heard several times today, and his heart was sure that it was someone from the Shenwei Legion.
On the other side of the street, a few torches were seen in the distance, and then the number suddenly increased, and it turned into a fire dragon, which ran along the street separately, and in the middle there were many elite soldiers in a neat queue.
The elite soldiers, all dressed in golden armor, shone brightly in the light of the fire, illuminating the entire street.
Under the light of the torches, the halberds shook together, and the blades of the halberds reflected the light of the torches, neatly and neatly, emitting a burst of cold light, and from a distance, there were no less than a thousand people!
In front of the queue, there were several war horses leading, the war horses were covered in heavy armor, and several generals rode on them, and the powerful aura emanated from them.
But except for a war horse, this war horse has no armor, but it also has no mane, its whole body is covered with golden scale armor, there are silver horns on the top of its head, its eyes are golden, its front body has silver wings, and when it gasps in its mouth, there are sparks bursting out, this is a dragon horse!
On the dragon horse rode a handsome man with a majestic face, he was dressed in a stone blue robe, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and the five-colored auspicious clouds soared into the air, with a crown and a broad belt, and his eyes were blazing, running towards them.
Yuchuni glanced at it, stared at it, and said, "It's the prince!"
Everyone was surprised, looked at the crown prince Wei Huang, and in the blink of an eye, he was almost in front of him.
Xiu Gu looked at Wei Huang with a flickering look in her eyes.
The crown prince Wei Huang turned over and fell off his horse at a distance of a shot from them, and the generals also dismounted, and followed Wei Huang towards Master Ran.
Master Ran and the others hurriedly greeted him, clasped their hands together, and bowed down one after another: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Wei Huang stepped forward, helped Master Ran up, and said: "Master Ran, your Excellency will know when you enter the city today, the prince will know, because he is entangled in official business, he did not entertain him personally, it is a pity, come to the house and talk about it." ”
Since Wei Huang was crowned the crown prince, he built a prince's mansion in Xuanwu City, and the east palace of the Dawu Emperor's palace rarely went.
The reason why the Prince's Mansion was built in the city instead of the Imperial Palace was that the Prince's Mansion and Baoxiang Temple were very close to each other, so that he could communicate with the monks of Beizong Temple at any time, and because the East Palace was too close to the Taiqing Palace - his relationship with Yan Qing and Yan Guifei had not been very good.
The Shenwei Corps brought by Wei Huang was immediately divided into two sides, forming a passage in the middle, Wei Huang and Master Zhiran and others walked to the Prince's Mansion on foot, asking about the recent situation of Nanzong Temple while walking, but between the words, there was no mention of the three words "Baoxiang Temple".
The Prince's Mansion is indeed not far from the Baoxiang Temple, but it is unexpectedly concise, there are two stone lions in front of the door, and the door of the house is not wide and luxurious, only the four words "Prince Dawu" on the door are vigorous and powerful, and the "Confucian Holy King" of Cui Wangfu is in the same vein.
Entering the Prince's Mansion, there is no extravagant decoration, but it is the same as the Dawu Emperor's Palace, mainly black gold jewelry.
But the difference is that under the eaves of the verandah, you can see the Buddhist door pattern pictures everywhere, or the Buddha statue or the lotus, or the Buddha flower goddess, or the white elephant lion beast, and many Buddhist scriptures are carved on the verandah wall, and even many pillars are carved with Buddhist aphorisms.
The fragrance in the prince's mansion is rich, it is extremely strong sandalwood, and there is a faint sound of wooden fish in the distance, the rhythm is slow, it seems to be nothing, and there is a sense of mystery and distantness.
This prince's mansion, if others don't know, they still think that they have entered a big Buddhist temple.
As soon as Wei Huang entered the door, there was immediately a steward who came up to obey the order, only to see that whether it was a government servant or a maid, they were all unified with slightly restructured monk robes, embroidered with Buddhist swastikas, the color was plain, and some wrists also wore hand beads.
Wei Huang ordered the officials and maids to take the fire monkey Xiugu and a few people down, change into dry robes, and at the same time dismiss several generals, so he came to a hall with Master Zhiran and Yuqiuni and others, and the Buddha shrine was also enshrined in the middle of the hall, and the incense burner was still burning.
I saw Wei Huang enter the door and bow to the Buddha shrine three times, there is no first table and chair next to the Buddha shrine, Wei Huang sat down on the first wide chair covered with the felt of the simple Buddha flower on the left side of the next head.
Master Ran and others did not dare to sit at will, Wei Huang smiled: "Master Ran is one of the leaders of Nanzong Temple, and his prestige in Buddhism is very high, so he can sit at will. This prince also heard that now the great prince of Buddhism and Taoism is also here, which one is it, let me see and then please take a seat. ”
So Master Ran sat down on the second wide chair on the right, followed by Yuchuni, and Ben Qian and Ben Yuan stood behind respectively.
Yifeng walked forward, stood in the middle of the hall, folded his hands, bowed to Wei Huang and saluted: "Meet the prince, the disciple's name is Yifeng, and there is no number, the prince Buddha blesses, Amitabha." ”
At this time, a maid came up to offer tea, Wei Huang picked up the tea, glanced up and down at Yifeng, and said slowly: "Sure enough, it is a giant of Buddhism, a young man, handsome, introverted, and there is great hope for Buddhism." ”
Yifeng's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you for the prince's praise, but now, I can't afford the title of a giant of Buddhism, I am just a mustard seed of Buddhism, and I will contribute to Buddhism." ”
Wei Huang smiled seemingly inadvertently: "As soon as I entered Junzhou City today, I successively found Cui Ming of the Great Pillar Country and Yan Guizhen of the National Teacher, is this still called the power of Weimo?"
The faces of Master Zhiran and the others changed color, Yifeng was awe-inspiring in his heart, and said: "Prince, I didn't ask the prince for instructions in advance about this matter, but Yifeng was too anxious and lost his sense of proportion for a while, and I also asked the prince to be gracious and don't blame others." ”
Wei Huang took a sip of tea and said lightly: "This prince doesn't want to blame others, in fact, what you think, this prince can probably guess."
"The whole country of Dawu said that this prince is the most famous lay disciple cultivated by Beizong Temple, and he supports Buddhism, so you are worried, in case you want to sort out the Buddha's way, which is not good for the Buddha's way, can this prince support it. If this prince doesn't support it, you will be passive, and you will no longer be able to go to the Great Pillar Kingdom and the National Teacher, but so?"
Yifeng folded his hands and bowed again: "Prince Mingjian!"
Wei Huang put down the teacup, looked at Yifeng and said, "At a young age, with such strategy and courage, he is very human. As soon as ordinary people entered Junzhou City, they were fascinated by the colorful and prosperous bustle of the world, and their hearts and souls were shocked.
And at the end of the day, not only did he meet everywhere, but he also met with the leaders of Confucianism and the leaders of Taoism. One of them is the only king with a different surname in the Dawu Kingdom, and the other is the current national teacher, they are the most powerful people in Junzhou City and even in the entire Dawu Kingdom, and the strategies they offer are like the plan of 'losing the car and protecting the handsome' that makes the Dawu Buddha cut off his own arm.
"With such courage, how many people can think of the Buddha path today? Can think of how many people can really do it like you? Wisdom, strategy, and chance are all indispensable, if you are not a Buddha, you have your own help in the dark, I'm afraid no one can complete it. ”
Yifeng is more and more frightened, it seems that as soon as he enters Junzhou City, all the movements are known to him, and all the strategies are seen through by him, which he has never encountered, this prince's methods are really not simple.
Master Ran and the others all secretly admired Wei Huang's methods, and after they entered Junzhou City, they seemed to be unnoticed and low-key, but in fact, all their actions were under his nose.
It is also said that Junzhou City is guarded by the Shenwei Legion day and night, and the leader who controls the Shenwei Legion is Wei Huang, what can he do to hide from him in Junzhou City?
Yifeng also understood the reason in an instant, and no longer hesitated, and hurriedly asked: "In this case, the prince supports his disciple's plan to implement this 'Three Strategies of the Buddha Path'?"
"Not supported!"
