Chapter 27: Perfumery

With the singing, a guard of honor lined up, in the guard of honor, you can see a man about thirty-five or sixteen years old, walking with dragons and tigers, the weather is thousands, I think it is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin.

Jiang Liu turned his head and looked at Li Shimin seriously.

Regardless of whether the world he is in now is the Tang Dynasty in history that he is familiar with, Li Shimin, as a famous emperor in history and the ruler of the dynasty he is currently in, naturally wants to take a few more looks.

Next to Li Shimin was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a gorgeous long skirt, looking rich and powerful, and every step of the walk seemed to have a very standardized demeanor.

The delicate face, the unattainable identity, and the noble bearing make people ashamed of themselves.

Xu is because of the same age, the young monks on the square, almost all of them have been realized by Princess Gaoyang.

Jiang Liu's eyes naturally fell on Gao Yang's body, and after not seeing him for a week, Jiang Liu missed it very much in his heart.

Unlike what others see is only the dignified and noble princess of Gaoyang, what Jiang Liu sees in his eyes is that Gaoyang is bound by the so-called royal bearing, which is far less lively and natural than those days in the mountains behind Jinshan Temple.

"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen the Princess!", in the center of the square, with Li Shimin bringing Gao Yang over, headed by the holy monk Longhai, the monks of the Big Buddha Temple all opened their mouths and bowed down.

"Longhai holy monk exempt, over the years, the holy monk has worked hard, today is the annual incense ceremony, I naturally want to come in person", Li Shimin did not have any shelf, stretched out his hands, personally helped the bent Longhai holy monk up.

"Your Majesty came in person, the Great Buddha Temple is very honored, Your Majesty, please take a seat", although he bowed his head, but the holy monk of Longhai was neither humble nor arrogant, and led Li Shimin to the main seat while speaking.

"The holy monk is the host of this incense ceremony, I just came to watch, this main seat is still the holy monk to sit", shook his head, but Li Shimin did not sit on the main seat, but took Princess Gaoyang under the second seat.

"I've seen Your Majesty! I've seen the princess!", as the emperor and the princess took their seats, the young people in the square of the Big Buddha Temple, and even the people watching the ceremony next to them, all knelt down in unison, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone's flat", raising his hand, Li Shimin said.

Jiang Liu got up and looked at Li Shimin's seat, secretly shocked in his heart.

Even when the emperor came, he could only sit on the second place? It seems that he still underestimated the Great Buddha Temple and the ability of the holy monk of Longhai.

But think about it carefully, there has always been a struggle between the royal power and the divine power, not to mention that this is a world with real immortals and bodhisattvas, as the highest status of the holy monk in the Tang Dynasty, Long Hai's status and status, even the emperor Li Shimin has to give three points, which seems reasonable?

Moreover, what Li Shimin said just now, the holy monk of Longhai has worked hard, I don't know what he is referring to?

If it refers to the gift of incense? This is the Buddhist's own business, and there is no need for Li Shimin to come to comfort him, right?

"Amitabha Buddha ......", a Buddha horn, the sound was not loud, but it sounded clearly in everyone's ears, and as the Longhai Holy Monk spoke, everyone quieted down.

"When the poor monk was young, he was taught by the Buddha in his dream, and since he got the Dharma, he should take on the burden of promoting the Dharma, and take the common people as his own responsibility, but all living beings are suffering, and my Buddhism is ......."

What the holy monk of Longhai said, there are not too many lofty empty words, and the words that come out give people a very honest feeling.

However, Jiang Liu's mind was not on these words, but he just secretly looked at Gao Yang to comfort the pain of lovesickness.

Under Jiang Liu's attention, although Princess Gao Yang sat dignifiedly, her eyes were also scanning the square without a trace, and Jiang Liu understood that she was also looking for herself.

It's just that there are hundreds of young monks in the square, all of them are bareheaded, and obviously, she can't find them at all for a while.

"Today, there are 810 disciples who come to my Great Buddha Temple to give incense, I hope that all of you can light incense scars and become real disciples of my Buddhism!", Longhai Holy Monk's words were not long, and finally concluded.

Following the words of the Longhai Holy Monk, the six senior monks beside him all stood up, each holding a big red one.

The big incense engraved with the "swastika" shaped Buddha seal on it, about the thickness of a finger, spontaneously combusted without fire, turned into starlight.

As the incense ceremony officially began, young monks came to the stage one by one to give the ceremony.

Six senior monks, at the same time, the first round of six young monks, only one lit an incense scar, the remaining five, as the lit incense fell on the head, the incense extinguished, naturally, it means failure.

The disciple who had lit the incense scar stayed aside with a happy look on his face.

And those who didn't have incense scars on them retreated with gloomy expressions, and some even sobbed in a low voice.

Fifteen-year-old boys, incense failure, which means that they must return to the vulgar and beg for a life by themselves, which is like a modern society, just when he has just entered high school, but he must leave his parents and beg for a life alone, and he is naturally full of confusion about the future.

The gift of incense, a few families were happy and a few were sad, Jiang Liu watched quietly in the crowd without saying a word.

However, after about a dozen rounds of incense, Jiang Liu also found that the pass rate of this incense ceremony was indeed not high.

In the fifteen rounds of incense, there were 90 young monks, but only eight of them actually lit incense scars, and six of them only got one incense scar, and the other huge part of them all ended in failure.

However, with such a low pass rate, such an opening can almost be said to be a failed opening, but Jiang Liu found that both the people watching the ceremony next to him and the young monks in the square were very calm.

Obviously, the scene in front of me is a normal situation.

"Amitabha, junior brother, after a few days, the demeanor is still ......the same", just as Jiang Liu was observing the incense ceremony, a voice sounded behind Jiang Liu.

Jiang Huan turned around, and the young man wearing a crescent white monk's robe was standing behind him, looking at him with a calm expression, it was the Daoji he met at the beginning of Zhang Yuan's foreign family.

"Have you forgotten? You should call me Senior Brother!", Dao Ji came to give incense, it was not strange, but he didn't expect his eyes to be so sharp, and he could be found in the crowd.

What I didn't expect was that I wasn't afraid of death, I was beaten unconscious by myself last time, and I called out to my brother in my mouth, and after seeing him today, I called myself junior brother again.

Jiang Liu's words reminded Dao Ji of being beaten by him before, and his face was a little unnatural, but he said in a low voice: "In the past few days, I have been in the Great Buddha Temple, and by chance, I have learned a new technique of subduing demons, and after teaching incense, I can also learn a few tricks with my junior brother."

"It seems that you have learned new martial arts in the past few days and want to regain face?", Dao Ji said, which made Jiang Liu sneer in his heart.

With the mahogany ring, the demon slaying stick, and the level increased to level 10, Jiang Liu is still very confident in the improvement of his own strength these days.

And the experience points sent to the door, Jiang Liu naturally raised his hands to welcome.

However, as soon as the conversation changed, Dao Ji continued: "Of course, all this depends on whether you can pass the incense, otherwise, even if you want to call your junior brother, you won't have a chance."
