After that day, the Five Buddha Hall was never haunted again.

I don't know if it's because the silver armor guard is powerful, or if it's because of the other reasons.

However, Gu Yunqiu couldn't move to the back mountain immediately, and the princess thought about it again and again, but still told her husband about it. After King Ning found out, he said that he would send another batch of cold and wind protection materials up the mountain.

And so, it was delayed for another three or five days.

It was not until early May that Gu Yunqiu moved into the small courtyard in the back mountain as he wished.

The day before the housewarming, he made a special trip to avoid everyone and went to the Houshan Zen Monastery to find Li Congzhou, but not only did he not find anyone in the small courtyard, but he also found that the dark-skinned young man in the hall was also missing.

The house was cleaned up as if it had never been inhabited.

Gu Yunqiu found the monk's house again, but was told that Li Congzhou had been summoned by the prince and had been in the palace for three days.

"...... like this"

Gu Yunqiu thanked the monk and had to go back to the courtyard first.

But then again-

After the Buddhist meeting, Lu Yuanji disappeared, along with his two martial artists.

At first, it was the old layman who was in the same hospital with them who found that Lu Yuanji had not returned all night.

According to the rules of the temple, even the monks must follow the curfew - they must return to the temple before midnight every night. If the inspector finds that he does not return at night, he will face the risk of being expelled.

The old layman was afraid of being implicated, so he directly reported that Lu Yuanji had not returned.

After that, the monks in the temple inspected and said that the last time they saw Lu Yuanji, they saw him sneakily appear near Yuezhao Peak with two martial artists.

The monks were also afraid that he would fall, so they sent a few monks down the mountain to look for him. But after searching the entire Dragon Mountain, they couldn't find any trace of Lu Yuanji and the others.

In this way, everyone thought that Lu Yuanji had returned home in a fit of anger, after all, he had lost face. As a result, Baoguo Temple sent someone to Lu's house to report the news, but learned that Lu Yuanji had never returned home at all.

Only then did everyone know: Lu Yuanji was missing.

The old lady of the Lu family heard the news and then made a few disturbances in the temple, and before she could make a fuss, she bumped into the Royal Forest Army who came to the temple to check on the order, and the leader of the Royal Forest Army cured her on the spot for the crime of disturbing the holy car and went to prison.

After that, without waiting for Lu Hetuo's relationship, he found someone to fish out the old mother from prison. The official of the Imperial Historical Observatory wrote a letter to impeach more than a dozen officials of the household department, among which Lu He, the inspector, bore the brunt.

Lu He was arrested and detained in Dali Temple, and the Lu family's property was seized.

Gu Yunqiu pursed his lips: It can be regarded as evil and evil retribution.

Prince Qinggong.

Under the plaque of "Renhe Jingde", there is a long and low table of red sandalwood.

A stone green futon is placed behind the low table, when the prince Ling Yutan is kneeling on it, there is a bottle of velvet grass tied "Yongjing Red Plum" in front of him, under the bottle, is a stove of smoke.

After the incense burner, the prince is imitating Zhao Boju's "Autumn Colors of Rivers and Mountains" in the Song Dynasty.

Two palace maids stood behind the prince with a guard of honor, while the other two served tea and incense behind a small case under the caisson in the east.

Li Congzhou sat on his knees behind the small case, holding a rosary in one hand and a wooden fish in the other, facing the case of a volume of "The Book of Sentences" and telling the prince: Break the obsession of touching the law with the fragrance of the body.

The Dharma Sutra is also known as the Dharma Sutra Praise King Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, which is actually the same classic as the Moko Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra translated by Master Xuanzang.

There are not many scriptures, but a few words can convey the core essence of the Prajna scriptures.

Li Congzhou actually knew why the prince chose this scripture, many words and many things...... It is common for people to be caught in it, and it is common for them to be undetectable.

The current crown prince is the eldest son of the queen and the first son of His Majesty.

When he was still in the palace, he had high hopes, and later His Majesty ascended the throne, and he was only sixteen years old and had not yet reached the crown as the crown prince, looking forward to Sheji.

It's a pity that later, Empress Wen was seriously ill, and the concubine Xu gave birth one after another, among them, the emperor obviously favored the fourth son born to the concubine.

The Xu family is a family of military generals and meritorious soldiers, the elder brother of the concubine has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the northwest, and the younger sister is Princess Ning. A prominent door that makes the princelings panic.

Although the concubine Xu has always respected Empress Wen, the four princes are also respectful and humble to their brothers, and the Xu family has never had the heart to seize power and seek power, but ...... I can't stand being provoked and divided.

In his previous life, if Li Congzhou remembered correctly:

Next year, the queen died sadly, and the prince was even more isolated.

The Marquis of Xiangping took advantage of this opportunity to separate the crown prince, the concubine, and the four princes, forcing the four princes to leave the palace and go to the northwest at the age of seventeen.

At that time, the northwest was the most dangerous time of the war.

Even with the protection of General Xu Zhenyu's own uncle, the fourth prince was attacked by Xirong in the following year, and was seriously injured and died.

The prince was benevolent, and after hearing the news of his brother's death, he couldn't afford to fall ill and fell into a heart disease.

In the end, he was used by the party members to have a dislike with His Majesty, and was finally abolished, lived in seclusion and listened to the bamboo pavilion, and died depressed.

The Marquis of Xiangping was far away in the southwest, and without much effort, he calculated the hearts of the people and got rid of the two princes.

At this moment, the prince has doubts, and Li Congzhou can not solve much, so he can only do his best.

With the last stroke, the autumn scene is painted.

Although there is no magnificent and freehand momentum of Zhao Boju, the mountains, trees, and characters in the details are all harmonious and quiet.

It's just that Zhao Boju's colors are richer and magnificent, and the prince prefers lazurite green in coloring, and does not use ochre as a base like the original, so the autumn scenery of the entire country looks gray.

- It can illuminate the heart of the painter.

Looking at the painting, the prince shook his head and said with a light smile: "I see, let go of attachment and have no obstacles, I remember what the little master said today." ”

Then, he gave the little eunuch in charge of the matter next to him a look, and the little eunuch took out a bag of silver from behind and handed it to Li Congzhou.

"Delay the little master for a few days, these are a little of my thoughts, and I hope that in the coming day, there will be a chance to ask the little master to give a lecture."

Li Congzhou couldn't say goodbye again and again, so he received the reward and thanked him.

After being sent out of the palace, Li Congzhou did not directly report back to the National Temple, but walked around Beijing, bought some things for food and clothing, and rode straight to Luochi Mountain in the western suburbs of Gyeonggi-

The black shadow's injury was already healed, he didn't force it to stay, he only gave him a coil and let him decide to stay.

Originally, Li Congzhou wanted to find him a place to live in Beijing, but he didn't want Wuying to run away after taking the money, and he disappeared for a few days.

Li Congzhou didn't chase him, because he knew that Wuying had ostensibly gone down the mountain, but in fact, he had been secretly hiding in the dark to observe him, and after staring at him for three days, he appeared in front of him again and took him to Luochi Mountain.

It turned out that the group of Miao Jiang boys and girls who were let go by him did not leave, but found a cave in the mountains to live in.

I don't know how they used to contact the black shadow, but when Li Congzhou was brought in, they were gathered around the campfire, looking at him with bright eyes.

Wuying walked over, took the lead and knelt on one knee, touched his chest with his right hand, and bowed his head to Li Congzhou.

- Thank you to him for saving his people.

Other than that, the black shadow didn't say to stay or leave.

The Miao people were cautious, and Li Congzhou knew that if he wanted to get their help, he had to figure it out slowly.

He didn't stay in Luochi Mountain for a long time, he just put down his things and silver, and returned to the temple.

On the third day of the fifth month, the Buddha meeting to eliminate disasters and prolong life was finally successfully held.

After the Buddhist meeting, everything in the temple was as before, and Li Congzhou also went to the Houshan Zen Monastery as usual to copy the scriptures and carry the classics for the master.

On Duanyang Day, there are many pilgrims who offer incense and pray for blessings in the temple.

Master Yuankong's picture was pure, so he simply went with Li Congzhou to the Houshan Scripture Pavilion to translate the scriptures.

The back mountain was originally a pure place, but before the two of them spread out the scriptures, they could hear a burst of noisy human voices outside, accompanied by the neighing of cars and horses, and the loud sound of knocks.

Master Yuankong had nothing outside his mind, but he was still startled by a sudden explosion and mislooked at the line.

The scriptures are made into one volume, and if you make a mistake, you have to start all over again.

The master sighed and put down his pen and pinched his eyebrows.

"Master rest," Li Congzhou got up, "I'll take a look." ”

He walked down the stairs and around the main hall, and as soon as he left the temple gate, he saw a dozen porters moving boxes and furniture on the ground:

The home has a complete set of pear blossom wood tables, chairs and benches, and a single piece has a smoking cage, a hot box, a stove, and a few large boxes are full of countless warm quilts and brocades.

A few craftsmen are holding hammers to replace new bamboo curtains and sprinkle gold-carved windows, bricklayers in the courtyard are building a new stove, roof bricklayers are reinforcing the green tiles on the roof, and a steady stream of porters are carrying charcoal up the mountain.

At the edge of the crowd, two children stood:

One of them looked like a young man, slightly hunched over, and the other was dressed in goose yellow, his face was blocked by the shadow of the tree.

Without looking, he knew that it was Gu Yunqiu.

……

The expression on Gu Yunqiu's face was loveless:

He obviously just wanted a small yard in the middle of nowhere, where he planted trees......

As a result, how did it come to be?!

Seeing that the two porters staggered and came up with a brand-new Nanzhang wood bookcase, he couldn't help but squatted down on the spot with a whimper, and buried his head in the crook of his arm:

Father, the king, he...... Wouldn't it be too exaggerated?

Dim Sum was beside him, and he was about to squat down to persuade him, but he saw the princess coming from a distance.

But as soon as Dim Sum patted Gu Yunqiu on the shoulder, the princess over there shouted first, but it wasn't them, but-

"Little Mingji?"

Gu Yunqiu was stunned for a moment, and his face jumped up from the ground.

was watched by the princess, and Li Congzhou couldn't turn around and leave, so he could only step forward.

The princess originally went up the mountain to see Gu Yunqiu, but she didn't expect to come over and see a little monk behind the tree.

"Did Mingji come up and carry the scriptures?"

Li Congzhou shook his head and explained that he was translating scriptures with his master in the scripture pavilion.

Obviously didn't mention the noise, but the princess suddenly covered her mouth with a fan and apologized: "Oh, it's too noisy, isn't it, I'll tell them to be quiet." ”

The princess was so understanding, but Li Congzhou had nothing to say.

He stood in silence, and before he could come up with a good answer, Gu Yunqiu suddenly spoke up again: "Translate the scriptures...... Do you also live in the mountains at night? ”

His idea was simple, his father had brought him too many things.

If the little monk lives on the mountain, he just sends favors along the river and divides half of the little monk.

I also have a better relationship with the little monk and plan for my future life.

As a result, Li Congzhou shook his head: "I want to go back to the monk's room at night." ”

"Huh?"

The princess also sighed: "Do you want to go down the mountain at night?" How dangerous is the cloud bridge when it's dark, what if you fall and bump into it when you walk alone, or encounter jackals, tigers and leopards? ”

"The little monk will hold the lamp," Li Congzhou bowed, "and is also familiar with the roads in the temple." ”

The princess frowned, looked at Li Congzhou for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Why not?" Xiao Mingji, if you are late in translating the scriptures in the future, why don't you just come and live with Qiuqiu? ”

"There's a big place in the hall, and his father has prepared something for him......" Speaking of this, she also smiled and shook her head, "You have seen it too, there are many and ...... It's convenient for you to stay anyway. ”

"Qiuqiu is studying here, and I can rest assured that I have a companion at night."

Li Congzhou subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Before he could say a word of resignation, the old monk's slow and calm voice came from behind him: "Xu Jushi's words are good. ”

- is the Master of the Circle.

Li Congzhou turned to look at the master.

A faint smile flashed on the face of the old monk Gujing Wubo: "The night is dark and windy, the mountain road is rugged, and I can find a convenient place to live nearby, so I can rest assured that the teacher can rest assured." ”

Li Congzhou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Master Yuankong signaled that he didn't need to mention it again:

"You and the little Gu donor are also fateful."

Li Congzhou: "......"

When Gu Yunqiu heard this, he knew that this matter was decided.

It wasn't quite the same as he expected, but—

Isn't this the perfect opportunity for God to give him a good impression!

In the future, whether Li Congzhou will let him go or not depends on the present day.

So, he bent his eyes and pounced happily: "Okay! ”

Li Congzhou was suffocated, his whole body stiffened, and he only felt a ball of warmth crashing into his arms:

Soft, with the aroma of osmanthus.
