Chapter 092: Saving Grace
It didn't take long for Huai Jin to bring the presiding master of Cumulus Temple over.
"Amitabha, donor, poor monk is polite. Master Zhitong looked at Mu Qingchen, who was dressed in brocade clothes, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he bowed down.
"The master is polite. Mu Qingchen also nodded slightly and spoke, "The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." The main palace once heard that Cumulus Temple has beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, and it is a good place to quietly drink tea and participate in Zen, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. β
"The donor has won the prize, if the donor is empty, the poor monk is willing to lead the donor to walk in the temple. Master Zhitong said with a smile.
"In this case, there is Master Lao. Qingchen nodded slightly, "Jinyan, go donate some sesame oil to the temple." β
"Yes. Jin Yan nodded, took out a money bag from his body, took some silver, and handed it to the little monk of Cumulus Temple, and then followed Mu Qingchen and walked towards the back of the temple.
Cumulus Temple is not very big, the largest is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and then there are two side halls of the Reclining Buddha Hall and the Laughing Buddha Palace, the backyard is where the monks live, the nine-song corridor, walking along the road, you can see the shadow of the monks coming and going everywhere.
"Cumulus Temple, as expected, lives up to its name. With a quiet smile on his face, Mu Qingchen said, "This palace is afraid, its body is covered with earthly filth, and it has defiled this pure place of Buddhism." β
In plain life, she can only use writing and reading to make herself quiet and stable, so that she is not blinded by the glitz and glitz of the earthly surface, but now in Cumulus Temple, she feels unprecedented peace.
"Don't be afraid of clouds to cover your eyes, as long as your heart is not troubled by the world, wherever you go is a pure place. Master Zhitong said, "Donor, pleaseβ"
Qingchen knew that Master Zhitong was persuading himself, so he just smiled and followed Master Zhitong to walk around the temple, and it didn't take long for the two to walk in front of the meditation room in the backyard, and Qingchen said:
"I heard that Master Zhitong has superb chess skills, I wonder if this palace is lucky enough to play a game with the master?"
"It's rare for the donor to have Yaxing, please. Master Zhitong said, then pushed open the door of the meditation room and invited Mu Qingchen in.
The moment the door was opened, those who followed Qingchen saw the scene in the room clearly, a simple meditation room, on the couch there was a futon for the monks to meditate, in the middle of the room was a square table, on which were teapots and teacups, and there was a painting on the wall facing the door, but below the painting was a small niche with an unfinished endgame on it.
"Master, please-" After Mu Qingchen finished speaking, he took the lead in walking to the side of the endgame and sat down, Master Zhitong followed, and the two began to play chess.
On the big tree not far from the meditation room, the hidden figure did not move, looking at the situation in the meditation room, frowning, full of doubts, but the few guards standing under the tree had a relaxed face, seeing that the princess was just playing chess with Master Zhitong in the meditation room, so she did not continue to follow, just stayed here, waiting for the changes.
However, the moment the door of the meditation room was closed, the room changed to a different scene.
"The princess suddenly arrived, the old man didn't expect it, I didn't know that the princess came here today to ......" Master Zhitong looked at Mu Qingchen, his attitude had changed from the previous calm to respectful, and asked.
"I'm going to take a look at the two people I sent before, are they all awake?" Qingchen asked.
"Wake up, but the girl who came first was seriously injured, and now she barely got out of bed, and the lady who sent it later had just woken up in the middle of the night the day before. Master Zhitong said.
"Huai Jin and I went in to have a look, and Ji Yu and Jin Yan stayed here in case anything changed. Qingchen nodded, turned his head to his three girls and commanded, and then spoke, "Master Zhitong, I'm tired." β
"Don't dare, princess, please-" With that, Master Zhitong walked to the square table in the meditation room, picked up the seven cups on the table, and changed the order, but saw that the ground under the square table suddenly separated to both sides, revealing a tunnel entrance.
"Huai Jin, let's go. After Qingchen finished speaking, he jumped down first and jumped down from the tunnel, and Huai Jin followed closely behind, and was supported by Qingchen at the moment of jumping.
The two walked forward along the tunnel, walked about a cup of tea, and saw a slight light in front of them, Qingchen knew that it was the exit, so he led Huai Jin over.
The exit of the tunnel is a bamboo forest in the mountain behind Cumulus Temple, the name is called the wild goose does not return, because the wild goose will get lost and fly back when it flies in, it is conceivable that even the wild goose can not fly back to the bamboo forest, let alone people walk in. Therefore, the bamboo forest in the mountain behind Cumulus Temple has always been known for its mystery, and tourists only look at it from a distance outside the forest, and never enter it.
But what others don't know is that in the meditation room of the abbot master of Cumulus Temple, there is a secret passage, which leads directly to the bamboo forest of the wild goose in the back mountain, and you don't have to worry about getting lost at all when you walk through the secret passage.
"Princess, in fact, you don't have to go to see them, with the sisters in the building to take care of, it should be fine. You're taking too much risk by doing that. Huai Jin walked beside Qingchen, thought about it, and still spoke.
"It's okay, after all, they are all innocent people in my plan, and if I can do something for them, it can be regarded as atonement for my sins from God. Qingchen said, "What's more, Master Zhitong is a close friend of Yuxuzi's predecessors, and he and I have been old acquaintances for many years, and there will be no problems with him watching." β
"The person who is following outside......" Huai Jin didn't forget that Qingchen said that someone was following.
"Don't get in the way, those few guards won't make the climate, as for the other one...... He didn't dare to approach for fear of being discovered by me, so he probably didn't notice me leaving the meditation room. Qingchen said, and quickly walked to the exit of the secret passage.
The two of them worked together to push away the stone slab above the exit of the secret passage, and suddenly there was a clear clarity in front of them, and when Qingchen looked up, he could faintly see the green bamboos full of greenery, swaying slightly in the warm spring breeze.
Qingchen performed light skills, flew up, and walked out of the secret passage, then turned around and pulled Huai Jin up, and the two of them quietly covered the secret passage, sprinkled leaves on it to cover, and then left, walking towards the bamboo house not far away.
The bamboo house in the bamboo forest was built by Ye Chengcheng back then.
In order to help Xiao Ling win the throne and help Ning Yue defeat other countries, she could only hide her identity and arrange the place where she and her subordinates met in this bamboo forest where no one dared to approach.
She thought that this bamboo house would never be used again, but she didn't expect that after many years, she would return here in such a way, still hiding her identity and hiding.
"Princess, slave and maid go knock at the door. The two walked to the door of the bamboo house, and Huai Jin said, so he took the lead and stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who's outside?" asked a woman's voice in the room.
"It's me, Huai Jin. As Huai Jin was speaking, the door was opened, and the woman inside walked out, and was about to speak, but saw Mu Qingchen.
"Let's go, let's go inside. Mu Qingchen stopped the woman's salute, looked around, and then entered the house, and spoke again, "Qingxing, how is the person who sent it?"
"Please rest assured, the landlord has personally diagnosed and treated Nankong Divine Doctor, and now both of them have woken up, the lady is fine, but the girl always asks what kind of place this is. The woman who was called Qingxing by Qingchen replied, seemingly helpless.
"It's okay, I'll go see them. Qingchen said, then got up again and walked towards the next room.
The bamboo house is not very big, and there were originally only two or three places to rest, but now Hong Aya and Second Mrs. Shen each live in one, and Qingxing lives in one, and it is full.
Qingxing led Qingchen to Hongya's room first, and Hongya was lying on the bed, frowning, as if thinking about why she was here.
"Red Aya, someone has come to see you. Qingxing said, and then retreated and stood at the door, leaving a place for Mu Qingchen and Hong Aya to speak.
Hong Aya got up from the bed, first saw Huai Jin standing beside the bed, and looked up suddenly in surprise, only then did she see Mu Qingchen standing there with a smile.
"Wang ...... Princess?" Red Aya's mouth suddenly grew, looking a little incredulous.
"Hong Aya, you were punished by Chief Qin that day, and the princess couldn't plead, so she had to save you in this way, but fortunately, your life was great, and when the princess sent someone to find you, you were not dead, so she brought you here and let you recuperate. Huai Jin explained for Qingchen.
Hong Aya remembered that on the day she was punished, the princess did plead with Manager Qin for herself, but Manager Qin had a tough attitude, and the princess had no choice but to let someone beat her a hundred boards, and then drove her out of the house. At that time, she resented the princess in her heart, but she didn't expect that the person who saved her in the end was still the princess.
"The slave and maid thank the princess for saving her life, in this life and this life, the slave and maid are cattle and horses, and they must also serve the princess. After Hong Aya figured it out, she knelt on the ground with a thud and kept kowtowing to Mu Qingchen.
"Okay, you don't need to be a cow or a horse to repay me, I only want you to do one thing now. Qingchen asked Huai Jin to help Hongyan up and spoke lightly.
"As long as it is the princess's order, the slave and maid will never give up. Red Aya nodded.
"In the next room, there is a lady, but she is frail and sickly, so I want you to stay here and take good care of her, would you like to?" Qingchen asked.
"The slave is willing. Hong Aya nodded, "Originally, the slave maid didn't know what this place was, and she had been thinking about how to get out, but since the princess had ordered, the slave maid did it, please rest assured that the princess would definitely take good care of that lady." β
Qingchen smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "You recuperate first, when you are well, Qingxing, who has been taking care of you, will tell you what you have to do." β
After speaking, Qingchen walked out and turned around and went to the house where Second Mrs. Shen lived.
Although the poison of the poinsettia of the second lady Shen has been solved, she has always been frail, and she has been oppressed in the prime minister's mansion for many years, and the whole person is lying on the bed, looking sick and very haggard.
Seeing the person coming, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of Second Lady Shen, and there was more nervousness on her face, I don't know why Mu Qingchen came this time.
