On the tenth day of the fifth month, Kaifeng Mansion.

Although today is not the day of the temple market, the Daxiangguo Temple is also very lively.

Many novices were running inside and out, and there were many masters in robes who were pointing at the side, arranging for people to wipe the ashes for a while, and having people prune the branches for a while, all in preparation for the Christmas of the Bodhisattva Garan on the 13th of May.

In fact, according to so many Bodhisattvas of our Buddhist family, almost every month can bump into the birthday of whoever whom, in the past, most of them just read the scriptures twice more in the year, and burn a pillar of high incense to the Bodhisattva Buddha, which is even a birthday to the Bodhisattva, the harvest of the Great Xiangguo Temple is not very good in these years, so the people below the Buddha can hardly even get incense, and a few verses will be sent away.

But this Garan Bodhisattva is not ordinary, the Garan is the collective name of the temple dojo, so the Garan Bodhisattva is equivalent to the protector of the temple, which is not to be neglected...... Of course, if it were just like this, Daxiangguo Temple would not put on such a show.

The second point is that the Buddha said that there are eighteen gods to protect Garan, and these eighteen Garan gods are represented by the image of Garan Bodhisattva, and this Garan Bodhisattva is the prince of Guan Yuguan.

The Guan Wang Ye into the Buddhism, become the great protector of Buddhism alongside Wei Dao Bodhisattva, but it is only a matter from this dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism for the final interpretation of the prince of the competition has never been broken, at present, the Great Xiangguo Temple as the former national temple, should lead by example.

As for the third point, and the most important point, that is, this year's Garan Bodhisattva Christmas, there will be Jin Guo nobles to come to congratulate, as for who is coming, no one in the temple knows about this, but the news came from the fourth prince, and the Daxiangguo Temple received the official letter of the Great Golden Book Table, so no one dared to slack off, and began to arrange it early, so solemn appearance, it was even more exaggerated than the time of Shakyamuni's birthday.

This is really no wonder masters, after all, if you offend the fourth prince, the bliss of dying is a matter of blink of an eye, and this fourth prince did not worship Buddha or worship at all before, if you can please him a little more, do not seek to restore the glory of the past, just ask him to give some money and land, it will be good after all...... In this way, the monks are busy today.

Looking at the other end, a group of sons and daughters dressed as scholars are strolling on the bluestone path between the temples, although they are dressed as scholars, but the paper fan in their hands, the beautiful jade hanging on their waists, and the exquisite hats are all showing the nobility and magnanimity of this group of people.

With this group of people as the center, the bustle on the side and their laziness are like two scenes in a painting, one side is in full swing, and this side is laughing and scolding, but it is a good contrast.

I only heard one of the green shirts: "A few highnesses don't know that when our army went south to besiege the city, this great Xiangguo Temple became a place for the people of Bianjing, and when I heard the most, it actually accommodated nearly 20,000 people...... Others only said that this Xiangguo Temple is no longer prosperous, but they don't know that they were stuttered poor by the Song people! Hahaha......"

He seemed to think that he had said something extremely funny, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he found that no one was laughing with him, but fortunately he was cheeky enough, and he laughed a few times by himself, and brought the matter over.

The man who was the leader of them said: "If it is really as the Korean Gong said, then this Xiangguo Temple is really worthy of the name of 'my Buddha's compassion', Your Majesty respects the Buddha and respects the Buddha, such a Buddha is indeed worthy." ”

If others heard this, they would be surprised, the man in the green shirt was only about thirty years old, and he actually had the name of a national prince!

Although the title of Dajin is similar to the official position of the Great Song Dynasty, he can become a prince of the country at this age...... Even if he is the same age as this person, the beloved son-in-law of the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the master of the Fu Shilie family, Su Shilie Zhining has never reached this point.

And it seems that this flattering Korean prince is already one of the lowest-ranking people in their group.

When the leader said this, another man in a white robe said:

"Since it comes to the past, the minister also knows one thing, and today he will sell ugly things in front of several highnesses."

As he spoke, seeing that no one answered his own words at all, he said to himself:

"Ouyang Xiu's "Returning to the Field", which tells a story, about the first time Emperor Taizu of the Zhao family arrived at Xiangguo Temple, he saw that everyone else was kneeling and worshiping the Buddha, and he was very sincere, so Zhao Taizu asked the monks in the temple: 'Should you worship or not?' ”

He only said half of it, and it did arouse the curiosity of several people, among whom there was a younger, but about twenty-year-old person, who grabbed the words and said:

"It's okay for others to kneel, since it's the emperor, naturally you don't have to kneel anymore! Otherwise, what is the difference between being an emperor and other people? ”

Without waiting for the white-robed man to echo him, the man at the head glared at the young man, and his tone was a little disgusted:

"I'm not a child anymore, but I don't have any sense of proportion."

"It's just a matter of saying this on weekdays, if Your Majesty listens to it, you won't be punished for your crimes!"

The young man lowered his head: "Brother Wang has taught me a lesson, I know." ”

The two of them spoke politely and politely, and they were very gentle, compared to their parents, they were simply people from two countries, and this sense of tearing like a chasm had become bigger and bigger since Yan Wu begged to die.

"Come on, how did Zhao Taizu answer?"

"Uh...... Be! "The white robe is humane," the monk Lu Zanning replied, 'Don't worship'. ”

"I just said I don't have to kneel!"

The leader asked, "But I don't know what kind of thing you say?" ”

The white-robed man smiled, but he didn't dare to put on a score:

"Zhao Taizu also asked why, and Nazaning only said: 'The Buddha now, don't worship the Buddha in the past'."

"Wonderful!"

The young man slapped his face: "The monk here is really a wonderful person, he is really a decent answer and a lotus tongue!" ”

Even the man in charge couldn't help but praise a few words, seeing that the words of the white-robed man made the atmosphere lively, but the man in green shirt before secretly spitted...... The two seem to be two dogs competing for favor, the white one, won in this competition, although the cyan one is anxious, but for a while I can't think of other stories to say, I can't help but scold myself a few words, I have lived in Kaifeng for so many years, all of them have been delayed to the woman, and I didn't come to this big Xiangguo Temple to take a look, and today I fell down!

A few people walked around for a while, and the leader said:

"There are no outsiders, so the king will say it directly."

"This time the king came south, in fact, he came for His Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, all the people except the young man were a little moved.

"Oh?" The big man, who hadn't spoken, asked, "I didn't hear you before." ”

The man stroked his fan and smiled: "Second brother is busy with other things, I heard that you have a hand with that Yue Yun?" ”

The big man's expression froze: "I've fought it."

Seeing his appearance, the man at the head stopped asking, and continued:

"Dajin is happy to get the prince, this is a sign of the stability of the country, His Majesty has already sacrificed to the ancestors of the temple in Shangjing Mansion, there are Goryeo envoys to congratulate, the words only say that this Daxiangguo Temple is the first temple in the world, the Buddha is wide, the grace is profound, Your Majesty asked me to come here, it is for the prince to pray for the blessing."

"It coincides with the Christmas of Garan Bodhisattva, and it is exactly the right thing to do!"

"Exactly!"

All of them are good, when the ancestors had a hard time in the past, a few mothers-in-law were able to give birth to a bunch of children, and then they were not short of women, and this son was a little fatal, and then he was twenty-three or four, and he had his first species, which was much worse than his father and his grandfather.

At this time, the news that Emperor Zhao also had a son had not yet spread, and the emperor did not immediately establish the position of the crown prince, so many people in the world still thought that the Zhao official family was still a person without a queen, and after this time, Dajin Kingdom won again.

"When I came, the queen specially instructed the king, when the day is undecided, the people are not at peace, and the prince is embarrassed, this is a saint sent by God to turn the tide for us, so there must be no negligence in praying for blessings...... This king has asked the presiding abbot to invite celebrities, monks, and Taoist chiefs from all over the world, and three days later, this great Xiangguo Temple must be lively. ”

"Although it is lively, it is inevitable that some traitors will come in, so there must be Second Brother Lao for this defense...... And a couple of generals too. ”

The second brother he said was the big man with a dark face, and several people were ordered by him to do errands, and all of them immediately agreed, but this person asked one more question:

"Fourth Prince...... Are you coming? ”

The leader paused: "I don't know yet." ”

Just when a few people were chatting energetically, they saw a shadow running under their feet, the young man moved very fast, and kicked over, only to hear a scream, everyone looked at it, it turned out to be a lost way of the civet slave.

"Why are you so ruthless!"

I saw the cat lying on the ground, with both ears behind its backs, and all the fur on its body exploded, although it was small, it stared at everyone with tiger-like eyes, and after a while, it was still hissing at their group, like a threat, and as if it was being screamed in pain.

The man at the head frowned, seeing the young man on the side with an indifferent look, if it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders here now, he was afraid that he would be about to scold by pointing his nose, but it had happened, he endured it and endured it, so he had to sigh and say:

"In the pure land of Buddhism, it is too much to do such a sinful thing."

"If there is no restraint, when you return to Shangjing, this king will definitely present it to Your Majesty, and you will be guilty of disturbing the prayer."

This was said seriously, and the people on the side didn't even say anything, and the young man was even more visibly panicked, clearly wanting to confess, but he didn't want to fold his face in front of outsiders, and he looked like he wanted to say something and stopped, and he was very twisted.

Seeing that the raccoon slave took advantage of the words of several people, he quickly dragged his injured body and climbed up...... I don't know where it hurt, but the foot is heavy, and the thinner person is injured, I'm afraid it will be seriously injured, let alone such a small brute? Its legs behind it could no longer move, and it relied on its front limbs, dragging its entire body forward.

The cat didn't know how to come to such a catastrophe, just subconsciously ran towards the place where he was consciously familiar, and after a while, a pair of gray cloth shoes stopped in front of it, and the kitten looked up, and finally "meowed", complaining of all kinds of grievances.

Dao Ji squatted down calmly and gently rubbed its head:

"I told you a long time ago not to run around, but now that you are in this big disaster, you have to remember."

Although it was just a brute, I don't know if it was because I had heard too many scriptures in this temple, but this flower cat seemed to be able to understand human nature, and shouted a few times, probably in response to Daoji's words.

Seeing this, Dao Ji stood up, looked at the group of people in front of him, and walked towards them with some stubbornness but determination.

"Amitabha."

Without waiting for Daoji to approach, the leader knew that it was the bitter lord who came, so he also took a step forward and chanted a Buddha name first.

Dao Ji folded his hands and bowed slightly towards him:

"Your Excellency must be King Rui."

This group of them came to the temple to say hello, the little monk can recognize his identity, it is not surprising, this Rui Wang is also surnamed Wanyan, a single name of the word 'Heng', it is the son of Wanyan Wushu, thanks to his father's blessing, although this Wanyan Heng is young, he has already been crowned a king, compared to other clans of the same age, he is already several grades higher.

We all know that the fourth prince has many women and daughters, but there are only two sons, the eldest son Wanyan Heng was born to the Tu Dan family, the younger son died early, and the biological mother is Emperor Huizong's ninth daughter, Yifu Emperor Ji Zhao Yuanzhu, so fundamentally speaking, he is an only son and is extremely favored.

"It's the king...... My brother accidentally injured the master's raccoon slave, he was young and ignorant, and I hope that the master will not blame, if he can, this king is willing to pay for this sin for him, master, what do you think? ”

He called it 'me', obviously respecting Dao Ji very much, but Dao Ji just shook his head and looked at the few people behind him.

First the man in the green shirt, Dao Ji looked at him and said:

"The donor is Liu Lin...... Back then, I knew that the Zhao Guanjia loved Huang Tingjian's Mobao, and sent someone to offer the treasure in the name of Xianbao, but in fact, the plan to assassinate the Zhao Guanjia was proposed by the donor. ”

Liu Lin was stunned, I don't know how he suddenly said about himself, his father has been the emperor of Qi for a few years, and he was almost able to ascend to the throne, and then although his father was abolished, there is still a prince, this year he just returned to Kaifeng, I didn't expect that there were still people in Xiangguo Temple who had never been to remember him, and he immediately pointed out his achievements.

So Liu Lin held his head high: "The master has some vision, it is me!" ”

Dao Ji then looked over: "Liu Yi, he was defeated by General Yang Yi in Yuejiafang back then, and later he was defeated in three battles with Yang Du. ”

The white-robed one is indeed Liu Lin's cousin Liu Yi, Dao Ji said that Liu Lin is talking about merit, saying that he is talking about ugliness, he wanted to have a seizure, and after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have any credit that he could say, so he snorted coldly and admitted it.

Wan Yan Heng saw that he was young, and when these two people made trouble back then, I am afraid that he was still a child who peed and mud, and he was like a few family treasures, so he couldn't help but be a little interested, so he said:

"If the master really knows people, can you recognize my second brother?"

Dao Ji looked at the big man with a black face, and his expression was as usual:

"I don't recognize it, but I can recognize it."

He is not very old, and he speaks interestingly, and Wan Yanheng actually liked it a little for a while, and arched his hand:

"Why don't you go to the garden together?"

Daoji nodded: "Okay." ”
