The next day the weather was still fine, but there was a slight wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he got up in the morning, Guo Shichao accompanied Jiang Zhan and Hou Lingshan to breakfast, but Meng Yu didn't know where to go. Guo Shichao told Yahuan and a few family members to look for it and ask him to come for dinner.
The three of them were eating breakfast, and Meng Yu suddenly came in, and couldn't help but say that he would sit down and eat.
Hou Lingshan said: "Where did you run away in the morning? This is not your style, haven't you always been very calm?"
Meng Yu snorted and drank half a bowl of porridge: "Do I look salty now?"
Hou Lingshan nodded: "Salty!"
Guo Shichao smiled and said: "Brother Meng, don't eat too fast, the two elder brothers will wait for you, I have to take Zhuang Ding to practice, go first." ”
Meng Yu hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's plan today's show well!"
As soon as Guo Shichao left, Meng Yu stood up and pulled the two of them back to the room: "You hurry up and pack up your things, say goodbye to Mrs. Guo and the owner of the big village, and say that there is something at home." Then let's go to Puran Temple!"
Hou Lingshan and Jiang Zhan were shocked.
Mrs. Guo regretfully waited for Lingshan and Jiang Zhan and said, "Why did you have to leave just now? I must stay for a few more days next time!"
Guo Wei asked Wei Changtian to help him, and slowly got out of bed, Wei Changtian helped him stand up, Guo Wei said: "It's not easy for friends to get together once, but your own affairs are more important." Say hello to my second brother before leaving the village, and get together next time. ”
Several disciples were practicing Zhuang Ding in the detachment, and Guo Wei saw a few people coming, so he trotted over. It was also a pity that Hou Lingshan and Jiang Zhan had to leave first, Meng Yu said: "Anyway, the second owner often goes to the capital, and there are many opportunities to meet. ”
Guo Wei nodded and said, "Yes, running around the rivers and lakes relies on brotherly righteousness, and nothing else works." Hope to see you soon!"
The three of them rode horses and galloped for a while under the autumn sun, and they were all sweating, but the majestic buildings of the Puran Temple were already standing not far ahead. The temple is large in scale and magnificent, with red walls and gray tiles under the blue sky, pine and green cypress. The green trees and red flowers on both sides in front of the mountain gate are covered, which looks mysterious and quiet, and it is a place of cultivation of a master outside the world.
Hou Lingshan saw the temple gate: "Is our visit to the Bodhisattva a little closer?"
Meng Yu smiled: "I don't know how many dangers are waiting for us in the future, be pious, the Bodhisattva will bless you." ”
When they reached the monastery, the three men turned over and went down the door, and the gate at the gate opened the mountain gate, and took their horses and tied them. The deacon monk in the courtyard looked at it and said, "Isn't the benefactor a guest of Shuangfeng Villa?
Meng Yu hurriedly saluted: "Master, we want to see Master Qingxin, I don't know if it's convenient?"
The deacon smiled and said, "I was the customary to ask just now, the abbot has long known that the donor is coming, and has been waiting for you in the abbot's room, so let me take you to the abbot's room to meet him." It's just that you came here today, the abbot is free now, and there will be a distinguished guest in a while, His Royal Highness King Ning will come, and the poor monk will take a few donors to hurry up and go first. ”
Master Qingxin was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes half-closed, and he was purifying. Hearing the deacon monk say that Meng Yu and the other three were coming, he opened his eyes, got up and folded his hands: "The poor monk is waiting for a few donors, time is very tight, let's sit down first." ”
After the little novice served tea and retreated silently, Master Qingxin said with a smile: "Buddhism is quiet, and it is rare to be quiet. Bodhisattvas don't want to be nosy, but they have to be nosy. ”
Meng Yu was also happy: "The master is really humorous. ”
Master Qingxin smiled slightly: "The Bodhisattva also has to manage all kinds of diseases in the world, and the donors feel that the Bodhisattva is effective, but in fact, they are sincere." Therefore, the monk's food made of honey, flour, flowers and leaves, and dew in the temple turned out to be an elixir, and the foot disease of the owner of Guo Zhuang was cured. ”
Meng Yu sighed.
Master Qingxin said: "Master Guo Erzhuang also often comes to the temple, but his heart is not quiet, and he is always swaying. Bodhisattvas can't take care of it. ”
When Hou Lingshan and Jiang Zhan heard this, this master was like an old man with a mother-in-law's mouth, and he was quite fond of talking. With a bare head, white eyebrows, and a white beard, he is kind and kind.
Meng Yu said: "The second owner of Guo Er Zhuang also believes in Buddhism?"
Master Qingxin smiled: "Some donors originally didn't believe it. When he wants the Bodhisattva to say what he wants, he comes to worship the Bodhisattva, hoping that the Bodhisattva will say that what he is doing is right. He already had the answer in his heart, and he forced the Bodhisattva to prove it for him. Such a person, the Bodhisattva can't help either. ”
Hou Ling flashed for a moment, is this old abbot talking about tongue twisters?
Jiang Zhan listened quietly, and he could tell that Shuangfeng Villa was really complicated.
Qingxin suddenly pointed to the chessboard in front of him: "Donor look at my chess game." ”
All three of them can play some Go, but they are not proficient, but they can also see the current chess surface, and if they can see the chess if they move first and eat the dozen or so pieces connected by the opponent, they will turn the corner. If you can't see it, you can only give the whole game to others.
Qingxin looked at Meng Yu with a smile: "How many moves before were just foreshadowing. But when the game reaches this point, if you don't move again, you will ......"
As he was talking, the deacon monk came in just now: "Abbot, King Ning has arrived outside the mountain gate." ”
Master Qingxin got up with a smile and said to Meng Yu: "Look, Puran Temple is really a place where you must come in case of trouble." ”
Meng Yu hurriedly saluted: "Meng Yu has been taught!"
Qingxin said: "The chess game is simple, just put it in the immersive situation between you and me, whether you can still see it, it is a matter of life." ”
He looked at Hou Lingshan again and said, "Meng Gongzi and that donor can go shopping on their own." The benefactor, who had stolen the Dragon and Phoenix Cup of King Ning's Mansion, went to the meditation room next to him to take a break. ”
After that, he smiled meaningfully at Hou Lingshan, and raised his two white eyebrows upwards at the same time, and there was a bit of a naughty look, Hou Lingshan was startled: "The master knows all about this? The monkey quickly hid." ”
King Ning is the emperor's third uncle. Before the little emperor ascended the throne, the first emperor was strangled by Hu Duzhong, and his father King Cheng was also killed by Princess Cheng. The only remaining are the third uncle, King Ning, and the fourth uncle, King Zhao. In addition, there are several cousins, and King Cumming is one of them. In order to stabilize the situation, Meng Dingguo investigated the imperial relatives one by one, punished several elderly emperor's cousins, and two of them were suppressed and finally ambushed. The rest, although crowned kings, were limited in power. King Ning is a very ambitious person and has a violent personality, but what happened to the two brothers, Emperor Xian and King Cheng, made him have to keep his head in obscurity, but he has always been unconvinced. It's just that for several years, he has been suppressed to the death. The emperor sent close officials to monitor him and manage the affairs of the land, in addition to the production of land for the use of King Ning, the garrison army in the fief was also greatly reduced. And out of the fiefdom, going to Kyoto must be approved by the emperor. However, no matter how he was on the table, the emperor rarely allowed him to go to Beijing. On the New Year's Day of the first lunar month, the hundred officials, the candidates and the great envoys of the foreign envoys were only allowed to meet him once in a few years, and King Ning was depressed. However, although there are unpleasant and secretly anti-intentions, this true anti-is not so easy. Di Ying, who was sent by the emperor to control him, was not very old, but he was a figure in the army in his early years. In northern Jiangsu, not only control the defenders, but also grasp the daily management of people's livelihood, and truly integrate military and political power, which makes King Ning jealous and angry.
However, King Ning is not a person who is willing to lie dormant after all......
King Ning's guard of honor was gorgeous and majestic. Entering the mountain gate, the female dependents also got off the sedan chair, all of them were spread out, the beads were surrounded by greenery, and the eyes of the people were going to be spent. King Ning and his master, the commander of the guards, and a staff person, walked slowly accompanied by Master Qingxin. King Ning is very familiar with Puran Temple, and he will come again every other day, so he must have something to entrust to the Bodhisattva.
The deacon monk took the ladies directly to make a wish, and immediately the fragrant wind drifted away, and the colorful and all kinds of chattering and frolicking also drifted away. King Ning said to Master Qingxin: "Abbot, this king's right eye has been beating non-stop recently, and his heart is a little uneasy, so he came to listen to the abbot's lecture to comfort his heart. ”
Master Qingxin smiled and said: "The prince cares about the people of Li and has many affairs, so he naturally thinks too much. In fact, everything only needs to be done with your heart, and so is the emperor who is as expensive as the emperor. If you do it, you can calm your mind and don't pursue the goal too much. ”
Ning Wangxin said: "I don't pursue my goals, why do I live?"
Of course, as a prince and the most honorable prince in northern Jiangsu, he still doesn't dare to show his heart casually. He said to Master Qingxin: "The master's words have solved the confusion in the king's heart. In fact, when I came today, I just wanted to seek peace in the chaos, and I walked around this temple at will, so I naturally felt comfortable!" )
