"If you live as long as you can, don't kill, can you hold it today?"
The rebranded Mahavira Hall reverberated with the deep voice of the Zhicao host, and an ordination ceremony was underway.
Monk Jueyuan looked solemn, knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, folded his hands and replied without hesitation: "Yes!"
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, in addition to the monks of Shaolin Temple, there are also Qin King Li Shimin and Diao Xiaosi who were invited to watch the ceremony.
After Wang Ren was defeated and killed, the last nail household on the road to Luoyang also disappeared, and the door on the eastward road was wide open.
However, Li Shimin did not rush to attack Luoyang immediately, but sent Wei Chigong, Wang Junke and other elite soldiers to attack separately and first clear the peripheral battlefield.
So this period became the most calm before the storm, Li Shimin hurriedly returned to the Shaolin Temple, just in time for the ordination ceremony of the monk Jueyuan.
He didn't come empty-handed this time, and as soon as they met, he sent forty hectares of fertile land to Shaolin Temple as a temple property. Moreover, the holy decree of Chang'an has also arrived, and thirteen Shaolin monks such as Master Zhicao and Tanzong Monk are warrior monks who protect the country. As for the Master of Good Protector who unfortunately died in battle, he was praised by Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty and posthumously awarded him as a protector of the country.
Li Shimin originally intended to recruit all the monks to serve in the army, but unfortunately, except for the monk Tanzong, the other monks had no intention of recruiting and killing on the battlefield, so they politely refused his kindness.
At this time, the voice of Master Zhicao sounded again in the Daxiong Treasure Hall: "Exhaust your life, quit lust, can you hold it today?"
Monk Jueyuan lowered his head, swept the corner of his eye out of the main hall, and saw Bai Wufang among the monks standing outside the door.
As soon as the eyes of the two touched, Monk Jueyuan's head hung lower, and they invariably staggered their gaze.
Master Zhicao asked again: "To live a long life, abstain from lust, can you hold it today?"
Monk Jueyuan's heart was entangled for a while, and he suddenly heard a strange voice in the solemn and solemn Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Although the voice of "chirp, chirp......" was very soft, it was very abrupt in the silent hall. All the monks looked at the place where the sound came from, and were stunned to see Diao Xiaosi sitting cross-legged on the futon, hiding behind Li Shimin and munching on dog meat with relish.
"Let's ...... it" Diao Xiaosi didn't seem to notice that countless people were trying to stop his boldness and presumptuousness with angry gazes, and he couldn't get enough of stuffing the gnawed dog bones into the oilcloth bag under his buttocks.
As soon as everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, they were desperate to see this guy pull out another oily braised dog leg from under the ass on the other side.
If it weren't for this guy who saved the Shaolin Temple, if it weren't for the two "Yijin Sutra" and "Washing the Marrow Sutra......
Master Zhicao's expression was extraordinarily exciting, and he coughed heavily, turned his head to look at Monk Jueyuan, and opened his mouth to say-
"If you have dog meat, can you eat it today?"
Suddenly, everyone's faces were completely petrified, and they looked at Master Zhicao dumbly.
Master Zhicao's mouth moved, and he exclaimed with a red face: "It's not me!"
The monks don't speak, since they are not respected and admired masters, who will they be?
Li Er consciously moved the futon to the side, revealing the skinless and faceless guy behind him.
Master Zhicao's eyes were almost murderous, he gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth again, trying not to think about the red and fat dog meat, and trying not to smell the fragrant smell of meat.
You must not fall into the evil role of Diao Xiaosi, and you must not lose the face of Shaolin Temple in front of His Royal Highness King Qin, and you must complete this grand ordination ceremony perfectly!
He recited the Diamond Sutra three times, his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, body and mind were as immovable as a mountain, and he took a deep breath and said: "You have the best life, there is dog meat, can you eat it today......?"
Everyone's facial features were distorted into a ball on their faces in an instant, and there was something called faith in their hearts that shattered to the ground.
"You can eat!" Monk Jueyuan suddenly stood up in the silence, and the expression on his face suddenly regained peace and calm after a painful and violent struggle.
When the countless eyes in the hall looked at him with a look of astonishment and incomprehension, his heart was more relaxed than ever, only the bright eyes behind him.
- Let others do it as a hero to save the world, I just want to protect my beloved girl.
He was relieved, no longer paying attention to the thousands of surprised faces around him, and walked in front of Diao Xiaosi with a relaxed step, and saluted: "Xie Lu Xie!"
Diao Xiaosi stood up with a smile and handed the dog leg in his hand to Monk Jueyuan.
Monk Jueyuan took it and took a bite without hesitation, and commented: "It seems that roasted dog meat is more delicious." β
He returned the dog's leg to Diao Xiaosi, turned to face the dumbfounded master of Zhicao, and bowed deeply: "The disciple is not over, please allow the master to return to the vulgar." β
Master Zhicao hadn't come back to his senses yet, and muttered to himself, "Did you really say it just now...... Is it really me?"
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Wang is cheeky and wants to ask for a favor for the little master Jueyuan, which can be regarded as a happy marriage and leave a story for Shaolin Temple through the ages." β
Master Abbot nodded and said, "Jueyuan, you can go." Lao Qu has a word to give - one day as a Shaolin monk, a lifetime as a Shaolin person. Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate......"
Monk Jueyuan burst into tears, bowed down in front of the abbot master and the master of Zhicao, and said, "Disciple, remember the abbot's teachings!"
In this way, the ordination ceremony could not be carried out, but instead of seeing anger on the faces of the monks, after a short period of consternation, everyone showed joy and hugged Monk Jueyuan to joke and laugh.
Bai Wufang had already run away, and she especially wanted to talk to her father at this time, and also cried happily.
Master Zhicao also wanted to talk to Diao Xiaosi, and at a glance, he saw that the culprit who had disturbed the ordination ceremony was tiptoeing to try to slip away from the back hall.
He coughed heavily, stopped Diao Xiaosi from going, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it!"
Diao Xiaosi looked at Master Zhicao with a weak heart, and was very reluctant to take out two peaches from his pocket that had just come from the offering table.
Master Zhicao's face was angry and distorted, like a freshly hatched soup dumpling, and the oil was full of folds.
He snatched the peach and said, "And!"
Diao Xiaosi took out a few pieces of date cake from his pocket with a bitter face, and honestly confessed: "It's all here." β
"Bring itβ" Master Zhi roared, "that dogleg!"
Diao Xiaosi had no choice, so he had to hand over the oilcloth bag, and said dissatisfied: "This is what Lao Tzu bought at the bottom of the mountain with money." β
"In the pure land of Buddhism, how can you bring wine and meat into the temple? It must be confiscated!" Master Zhicao peeled off layer after layer of oiled paper, and found that the paper was densely covered with pictures and texts, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"
Diao Xiaosi replied: "This is a little thing I copied from the Shadow Wall Stone, which is divided into seventy-two items, and I am going to study it slowly." Master, will you give it back to me?"
"Can't!" Master Zhicao categorically refused: "This is stolen goods, and it must be confiscated!" After speaking, he left Diao Xiaosi and went to the abbot master to ask for merit and reward.
Diao Xiaosi looked at the back of Master Zhicao and showed a distressed look, and was wondering whether to secretly follow the old monk, when Li Shimin walked over accompanied by Hou Junji and others, and greeted with a smile: "Little fourth brother!"
Diao Xiaosi was in an extremely unhappy mood just now, and was about to give Li Er a big bowl of closed-door soup, when he was surprised to see that Xu Maogong, the bull-nosed veteran, was actually among the generals accompanying Li Shimin.
Xu Maogong greeted him with a bow on his chin and said, "Little fourth brother, it's been a long time. β
Diao Xiaosi looked around the crowd and asked, "Why are you alone, Second Brother Qin and Da Lao Cheng?"
Xu Maogong replied: "They are in Luoyang, and they were invited by the fifth brother Shan. β
"Luoyang?" Diao Xiaosi suddenly understood, after the defeat of Li Mi's army, the generals of the Wagang Army also parted ways, Xu Maogong took refuge in Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son, while Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Shan Xiongxin and others went to Luoyang.
Xu Maogong said: "Now the fifth brother is very appreciated by Wang Shichong, and the official worships the general as a very popular minister, and he also married her righteous daughter Xu Xian...... Little Fourth Brother, I'll tell you the truth, I'm about to take a risk to sneak into Luoyang and persuade them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. β
Diao Xiaosi sincerely blessed: "Mr. Xu's clever tongue is a lotus, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and be lucky in distress, and he will win the victory." I won't disturb your great cause of founding the country, there is still a pot of dog meat stewed in the tavern at the foot of the mountain waiting for me. Then he turned and walked away.
Just kidding, I want Lao Tzu to go to Luoyang's troubled waters, unless Diao Siye's head has taught a donkey to kick.
Wang Shichong, Nako Matsushima, Master Dongding...... I don't know how many demon moths are hidden in Luoyang City, and Li Eryi wants to make a contribution, so he should use Lao Tzu as a paving stone?
"Little Fourth Brother, this is a battle related to the life and death of Datang, please help me!" Li Shimin hurriedly shouted, his hands quickly bent his waist into shrimp.
Diao Xiaosi sighed in embarrassment, he had just lent an arm to Monk Jueyuan, if he gave it to Li Eryi again, what would he become? It's not that Lao Tzu didn't help, it's really that my parents didn't give birth to three hands for me.
Li Shimin knew that what was left in history, what was a feudal territory, what was loyal and patriotic, in Diao Xiaosi's eyes, it was all shit, but the only thing that could make him tempted was real money. But I can't give him Luoyang's annual income, right?
After thinking about it, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "According to the latest secret report I got, Princess Jincheng is very likely to be in Luoyang. β
Diao Xiaosi blinked and shook his head, and said, "Liaring is not a good child. β
"I didn't lie to you!" Li Shimin turned his heart and said: "Yang Guang's death Wang Shichong is the real mastermind behind the scenes, if Princess Jincheng gets the news, it is absolutely impossible to let him go." β
Diao Xiaosi smiled and said, "Brother Li, you may not have noticed anything wrong." It's that when you're lying, your expression is extraordinarily sincere and solemn, which makes people have to believe it. β
He waved his hand and turned around and walked through the back hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, muttering, "A pot of dog meat that is so fragrant, who else wants to eat it?"
Li Shimin smiled slightly, and tended to follow.
It doesn't matter if Princess Jincheng is in Luoyang or not, the important thing is that he can go and eat dog meat now.
Of course, the price of this dog meat will definitely not be cheap, and Li Shimin is ready for heavy bleeding - no matter how high the price is, it is a good deal to be able to exchange it for a Luoyang City.
It would be even better if Princess Jincheng was really in Luoyang City.
