Chapter Twenty-Four: The Drama of the Greatest Appearance (I)
Early the next morning, Chu Xunyu and his party said goodbye to the head of Chentai. Not long after leaving the mountain gate of Qingyang Palace, Mu Yuan found that Shang Qian was a little weird, as if she was thinking, so she asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister Shang Qian, why are you absent-minded, it seems that you have something in mind." ”
"No, no. Shang Qian was thinking about what the Star Whisperer said to her last night, and was suddenly awakened by Mu Yuan, and immediately shook her hand with a smile and said, "I was thinking about last night's Guangling Sanqu score, and it seems that some places are still a little rusty. ”
"Oh?" Chu Xunyu turned around in surprise when he heard this, and said, "Senior Sister Shang Qian has actually comprehended the five stages of Guangling San's follow-up chaos? ”
"No, no. Shang Qian shook her hand with a smile and said, "That's what I said, in fact, there are still a lot of jerky places, so I've been thinking about it." ”
"Well, it doesn't matter. Mu Yuan said with a smile: "Later, I will go to Zhixiang Temple, where the meditation room is very quiet, you can practice well." ”
Shang Qian replied with a "grace", in fact, he had been thinking about last night's events in his heart. Is what the mother-in-law said true, it's not like it's fake, you won't lie to me, and thoughtfully touched the little white porcelain bottle in her sleeve. The Star Whisperer also gave her a bottle of good water last night, I don't know what it does, she only said that she can use it in the future.
Wangchen has been looking at it all the time, where Shang Qian went last night, he knows best. After all, the realm is obvious, where is she going to be a little Jindan girl, how can she hide Wangchen's divine sense? When Wangchen found that Shang Qian was holding the qin, stole out of the door, and actually slipped to the Shangshan Pond in the West Mountain, he was really startled, and was about to wonder if he was going to pull her back, when he suddenly thought that the head of the morning platform could not know? Since he secretly did not move, it explained that he deliberately let Shang Qian go up. In this case, there is not much to do.
Seeing that Shang Qian looked uneasy, but her little face was flushed, she knew what was going on. Wangchen said in his heart, this star whisperer is too, how can he say anything to her, knowing that this little girl is not deeply involved in the world, she said such a topic.
At that moment, he subconsciously deliberately slowed down the speed, and when Shang Qian was side by side, he gently said: "The heart is still and the water is not alarmed." Although the star whisperer's star language is accurate, it is not immutable, and the heart is relaxed. ”
Shang Qian was reminiscing about last night, and suddenly heard Wangchen's words in his ears, and his heart was shocked, he looked at Wangchen embarrassedly, and said in his heart: This is also true, didn't my mother-in-law also say it last night, and it will happen a long, long time later.
Thinking of this, Shang Qian laughed to himself, shook his head, and buried the matter in his heart. Along the way, passing by the scripture platform on the top of the mountain, I saw that the scripture platform was more lively than yesterday, the monks came and went to the top of the mountain in an endless stream, and there were also many people who took out some items to do the topic, debated the scriptures, a happy scene, saw a burst of warmth in Wangchen's heart, and sighed: "Compared with the past, this cultivation realm is really more and more prosperous." ”
Everyone went down the mountain road all the way, until they came to the vicinity of Chang'an County, and finally arrived at their destination, one of the birthplaces of Huayan Sect, the birthplace of Mahayana Buddhism, to Xiang Temple.
When I came to the mountain gate, I saw the open gate of the temple, and some mortals came to offer incense one after another, and the little monks in the temple also cleaned the dust near the door, or sprinkled water, or cleaned, so a sense of leisure.
At this time, everyone looked at Guanyue and Mei Wan, whether the two of them decided to go in, after all, the Demon Dao and the Buddha Dao are inherently compatible. At this time, Mei Wan smiled lightly: "You don't have to hesitate, although we belong to the Demon Dao faction, but many years ago, it was rumored to be orthodox in Taoism, although the means are different, but we are also from a famous family, and we are much more innocent than ordinary evil sects." You don't have to worry, we have our own way of saying when we see the abbot. ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't have much to say, and at that moment, Mei Wan's long sleeves waved, and she restored her original appearance, without any cover-up, only to see that once the appearance of a celestial and human was revealed, everyone who was suddenly shocked looked sideways, and even Shang Qian stared at it and muttered: "It turns out that this is really the case, and the rumors from the outside world are true." ”
Mei Wan smiled sideways and said to everyone: "Let's go." "At that moment, he was the first to go out. When they came to the gate, even those little monks were bowing their heads and silently chanting the Buddha's name, not daring to look up and take a second look. At this time, Mei Wan came to the door with a faint fragrance, opened Zhukou lightly and said: "The little master of annoyance has reported, presumably the abbot already knows." ”
A little monk in the middle responded immediately, and hurriedly went in, not daring to say a word. At this time, Chu Xunyu turned around and said meaningfully to Wangchen: "Senior, it seems that the fame of these four beauties is even better than that of the elders of your faction." ”
Wangchen looked at everyone with emotion, and had nothing to say......
After a while, the well-mannered little master just now came back, bowed his head, chanted a Buddha name, and said, "Abbot, please go in." After that, he did not dare to speak, waiting for a reply.
Everyone couldn't do it, so they had to walk in directly and follow the little master all the way to a side hall behind the temple. When I opened the door, I saw that there were already five monks waiting inside. One of them, an old monk with white eyebrows, wearing a robe, opened his mouth and said, "Amitabha, old man Haibo." ”
Everyone didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly opened their mouths to report to their homes, and Mu Yuan took the lead and said: "Mu Yuan, the little monk of Tianjie Temple, came to report to Uncle Shi. After speaking, he hurriedly handed over the letter from the master.
"Tianji Pavilion looked at the dust and saw the abbot. ”
"Legalist Shang Qian, excuse me. ”
Chu Xunyu's face remained unchanged, and he said: "The Central Plains scattered Chu Xunyu and met the abbot." “
At this time, it was Mei's turn to be late, and everyone was also curious about what she said. At this time, I saw Mei Wan smiling lightly, and Shi Li said: "Mei Wan, the daughter of the head of Hongdaomen, watched the moon with her senior brother, and Mei Guanglin, the current head of Hongdaomen, came to visit the head of Haibo. With that, Guanyue also stepped forward to give a salute.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Abbot Haibo's face finally moved, looking at Mei Wan's celestial resources, and just wanted to say something. Suddenly, a monk beside him said angrily: "Demon girl, you still dare to come here, don't you deceive me to no one in Xiangji Temple?"
"Stand down," Master Haibo shouted with the same majesty on his face, "Ming Yuan, you are too angry. ”
Ming Yuan's expression changed, then he put down his hand and turned his head away, not saying anything.
At this time, the abbot of Haibo opened his mouth and said to Mei Wan: "Amitabha, don't take it to heart, the things of the year have nothing to do with the juniors, not to mention that it is not a catastrophe era now, and you don't have to care about these, my Buddhism is vast, and there is no one who cannot cross it, although the devil's way, you can also enter my door." ”
Mei Wan shook her head with a smile and said, "I won't take it to heart, my father wants me to ask the master how to say hello." ”
"Hehe," Hai Bo smiled calmly: "Everything is fine, the demeanor of Master Mei is even better than back then." ”
"Where, my father often mentions Master Haibo. Praise the master for his broad-mindedness and kindness. ”
Everyone looked at the mutual greetings between the old and the young, and they were secretly a little surprised, but they never thought that this Hongdaomen had something to do with this Haibo abbot. Even Guanyue himself was a little unexpected, and he had never heard that his master was still connected with Zhixiang Temple.
At this time, Master Haibo nodded, and said to everyone: "All the way from afar, you have worked hard, especially my Mu Yuan's nephew and his party, to be able to meet so many friends, it is really a blessing. As he spoke, he also looked at the dust.
Where do people dare to say this, they don't dare to say it. Mu Yuan stood aside with a stupid face, and it was not easy to interject. The head of Haibo continued: "In this way, you will stay here to rest for a few days, these days are the day of the assembly of the scripture platform, and in the next few days, there will be wonderful discussions, and you will also be able to gain a lot at that time." I wonder what a few people think?"
Everyone was not in a hurry when they heard this, especially Chu Xunyu, who was thinking about whether to find a reason to stay through the matter of Mu Yuan, after all, he still wanted to sneak into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and inquire about the records and classics of Tocharo. I didn't expect the abbot of Haibo to be invited, so it was naturally the best. Wangchen didn't expect that he had been prepared a long time ago, but he didn't expect that it would be useless today, it was really a coincidence, and the way of heaven was unpredictable.
At this time, a little monk walked in outside, entered the door, and accidentally saw Mei Wan, so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look again, and went straight to the abbot of Haibo, and whispered a few words in his ear. Master Haibo seemed a little surprised when he heard this. Then he said apologetically to you: "I'm sorry, you came from afar, and you should have received it, but unfortunately there seem to be some mundane matters to deal with in the sect, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”
Everyone said that it was okay, and at this time, Master Haibo nodded and said, "In this case, I have to go and have a look, but I have already ordered someone to clean up the meditation room, you can go and rest first, and the old man will come to greet you in the afternoon." ”
As soon as these words came out, a thin-faced monk stretched out his hand and said, "Donors, please come here." Everyone nodded their heads in thanks, saluted the master, and turned to go. At this time, Mu Yuan didn't slip away, he stayed quietly aside, Master Haibo read the letter in his hand, and said to Mu Yuan: "Master Mu Yuan's nephew, your matter has been made clear in the letter, then, in the past few days, you have plagiarized the "Ranga Sutra", "Huayan Sutra" and "Mahayana Treatise" three times each in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, with righteousness, how about it?"
Mu Yuan lowered his head and folded his hands together, and said, "The disciple is punished." ”
Master Haibo nodded and said to the few people around him, "In that case, let's go." ”
In the afternoon, in the main hall, Master Haibo ordered someone to invite Chu Xunyu and his party over, and they all greeted other monks, especially after knowing Wangchen's identity, Abbot Haibo also inquired with great interest about Wangchen's senior brother, one of the seven stars of Tianji, Wangheng Daochang. I really didn't expect that although this Zhixiang Temple is small, it is the birthplace of Huayan Sect after all, and this abbot of Haibo seems to have made a lot of friends when he was young, and Wangchen secretly said in his heart.
Suddenly, he didn't see Mu Yuan, Chu Xunyu was particularly strange, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Master Haibo, why didn't you see Brother Mu Yuan?"
Hai Bo opened his mouth and responded: "Because of Mu Yuan's mistakes in the Heavenly Realm Temple, I have already asked him to think about it, which is also what Senior Brother Hui Tan meant. ”
