The Twelfth Cycle –

Chu Qianqiu was still five kilometers away from the gate of Shangjing.

He is already very familiar with this official road.

Every time he cycled, Chu Qianqiu would have a wonderful pleasure.

Because during this time period, he has not yet arrived in Shangjing, and he already has some understanding of the important people inside.

"Xiaoyang." Chu Qianqiu commanded casually.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"This is the title deed given by the Tang family, and the courtyard is going to be renamed the Chu family compound."

"You bring someone over to clean up, and if someone comes to visit, they will say that I am sick and not fit to meet guests."

"Yes, sir." Yang Guang didn't ask why, and hurriedly responded.

This time, Chu Qianqiu no longer went to Wanshou Temple to shout grievances, but went to find the concubine of the Wang family, the future queen Wang Keyue, to borrow the two brands of yin and yang.

In order to save time, he first used the Yuanyang faction's [Size Ruyi] to adjust his body shape and appearance, and then changed his clothes to become a middle-aged man who looked ordinary, and then used the [Hidden Monster] characteristic to disappear into the air.

He's going to wait for the rabbit again.

It's just that the rabbit he is waiting for is the future queen mother.

Shangjing, Wanshou Temple, Great Compassion Pagoda

Wanshou Temple stupa is lined up, enshrined with different Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, according to legend, this Great Compassion Pagoda is one of the most effective stupas in Wanshou Temple, dedicated to the Great Compassion Bodhisattva.

The name of the Great Compassion Bodhisattva may sound unfamiliar, but she also has another widely known name, Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Because Guanyin Bodhisattva has a great reputation for relieving suffering, so the incense of the Great Compassion Pagoda is vigorous, and the laymen who come and go are endless, burn incense and donate incense every day, and make money every day, becoming one of the cash cows of Wanshou Temple.

However, today's Great Compassion Pagoda is exceptionally deserted.

Because some people cleared the site in advance, the surrounding lay people had to retreat and go to other pagodas to pay respects.

Generally speaking, the laymen who can come to Wanshou Temple are either rich or noble, but they still take a detour very interestingly, because the two people who come here to worship the Buddha, one is the eldest princess, and the other is the daughter of the Wang family.

The two proud daughters of the sky came together

"Sister Qinghe, why is the plaque of this Great Compassion Pagoda written with the words [If you don't move], I thought it would write [Great Compassion]."

Wang Keyue put her arm around the eldest princess, pointed to the golden plaque hanging on the Great Compassion Pagoda, and asked with some curiosity.

The eldest princess seemed to be a little helpless, and said with some envy:

"Ke Yue, you didn't listen well in class, you haven't finished reading the Diamond Sutra."

Wang Keyue made a big red face, and was embarrassed to admit that she had no understanding in the Buddhist scriptures, so she pulled the jade hand of the eldest princess and said coquettishly:

"Sister Qinghe, tell me about it."

The eldest princess pondered for a moment and explained:

"There is a cloud in the Diamond Sutra: If you don't take the appearance, you don't move."

"Immobility means "always being", such as not moving means that things are always there, which is very similar to the meaning of longevity."

"This plaque was still inscribed when the emperor was alive."

"Therefore, the plaque of Wanshou Temple likes to use these four words to describe the eternal presence of the Buddha, as if he is not moving."

Wang Keyue looked at the eldest princess with a look of admiration, although her reputation among the people was not so good, but because of her status as a woman and her strong performance in the court, she won the worship of many noble ladies, and the daughter of the Wang family was naturally one of them.

"It's worthy of Sister Qinghe, and she really learned to be rich and five cars."

"If you go to participate in the imperial examination, you will definitely be the first champion."

Wang Keyue's eyes sparkled, making the eldest princess a little more happy when she saw it, and unconsciously said what was in her heart.

"Ke Yue, you are underestimating this palace."

"What about champions?"

"It's just a child of a poor family, competing for the scraps from the imperial court, and robbing with wild dogs

food, it makes no difference."

"Just for this bit of scraps, I studied hard in the cold window, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty."

The momentum of the eldest princess was too strong, and Wang Keyue was a little out of breath at once, so she could only say cautiously

"But Sister Qinghe, they can't help it."

"What other path can they take besides this road?"

Sister Qinghe, you are a natural nobleman, even if there is some suffering, it is by no means similar to the suffering of the children of the poor family.

How can they stand on the dry shore and say that it is useless for them to get the top prize?

"It's my sister's mistake, I won't talk about these things of fame and fortune today." The eldest princess chuckled twice and pointed to the Great Compassion Pagoda and said.

"This Great Compassion Pagoda is divided into nine floors, and the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in it has various characteristics such as [gravity] and [Buddha's heart], and if you want to worship the Buddha, you must rely on your own strength to climb up layer by layer."

"Every time you climb a floor, you bow to Guanyin once, for a total of nine times."

"Ke Yue, this is the first time I'm here, don't think about climbing too high, four or five floors are enough."

"When the time comes, the lantern in front of the Bodhisattva will be taken down, and this Buddha ritual will be completed."

"Ke Yue, if you feel pressure in the Great Compassion Tower, it's normal."

The eldest princess commanded carefully.

"Sister Qinghe, don't you go up?" Wang Keyue was taken aback, she came to worship the Buddha today, and it was the eldest princess who pulled her here.

I didn't expect to climb the tower, but the eldest princess had to wait outside.

"This nine-story pagoda, the main palace has already broken through, and it doesn't mean anything to me."

"You're about to reach the coming-of-age ceremony, and the Prime Minister will definitely let you go to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda to receive the Thousand Buddha Songs, what can you do if you are not prepared?"

"But Sister Qinghe, I'm alone, and I'm a little scared." Wang Keyue felt a little uneasy when she thought that she was alone and went to the Great Compassion Pagoda to be baptized.

"Don't be afraid, the palace is guarding for you outside, here Wanshou Temple, no one rushed to make trouble."

The eldest princess comforted with confidence.

"I, I see."

"For Your Majesty's sake, I'm going to try to climb a few more floors." Wang Keyue took a deep breath and said seriously, causing a trace of uneasiness to flash in the eldest princess's eyes, and immediately eliminated these uneasiness completely.

"Well, it's still very easy to climb to the first three floors, you now have the cultivation of [Beginner Innate Level], it's not a big problem." The eldest princess said with a smile.

This result is not good in any case, even if Wang Keyue is only sixteen years old, but with her background, only this cultivation is still low, and it belongs to the resources of the Chinese.

"Sister Qinghe, wait for me at the door, I'll be back right away." Like the girl next door, Wang Keyue waved her hand at the eldest princess, bit her silver teeth, and walked into the Great Compassion Tower without hesitation.

As a result, when she first climbed to the second floor, an invisible pressure almost crushed her.

"How can it be so heavy?"

"Can't I even climb one floor?"

"Is this what Sister Qinghe said easily?"

Wang Keyue began to doubt life, and then a Buddha horn sounded in her ears.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south."

"Donor, the burden on your body is too heavy, how can you climb the nine-story pagoda?"

Chu Qianqiu is really a big villain, he is output to the Buddha statue, and directly turned the relaxed and pleasant game of climbing the building into a hellish difficulty.

Gravity is ten times higher, which is not too much.
