cold three feet

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the ancient road thirty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing, more than a hundred people were walking hurriedly. Looking at their direction, it was Tianze Temple, a royal temple on Qingwu Mountain.

The etiquette of going to Tianze Temple to light lamps and pray for blessings every year has been established by Qi Yuan since the founding of the Liang Dynasty.However, Qi Yuan usually doesn't bring many people. There are only queens in the harem, and then the prince of the East Palace. In the end, he will pick some ministers whom Qi Yuan admires and loves to accompany him.Of course, as the personal guard protecting the emperor, Chen Ying, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, would be there every year, and Chen Ying's father, Chen Yu, as the Minister of Rites and in charge of the royal sacrificial rituals, would also be there every year.

It's just that these ministers who were picked up by Qi Yuan were very unwilling to follow the emperor to Tianze Temple to pray for blessings.One is that Qi Yuan pays attention to keeping everything simple, so the court ladies and eunuchs are naturally less. Those ministers can't bring all the maids who usually serve tea and water, beat their backs and massage in front of the emperor. Die in front of you.The second is that although Tianze Temple eats the royal salary, the food conditions are naturally not bad, but the ministers who are used to eating big fish and meat, who can bear a vegetarian meal without even a little bit of meat.

The queen is good, she is a virtuous and virtuous master who is easy to talk to. Eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha is nothing to the queen.The most bitter one was Prince Qi Zun, who wanted to eat fast and chant Buddha, there were no women in the temple, and he endured two nights without a fragrant and charming woman, it was like frying him in a hot pan, and thousands of ants devoured his heart.

Zhou Ziyan rode a horse with Chen Yingxing at the front of the team, only to hear Chen Ying gritted her teeth and whispered: "Zhou Ziyan, do you want to die? Even the crown prince dares not bring a woman, but you are lucky, and you brought a pair. Now that the horses and chariots have not reached the mountainside, hurry up and let the two little servant girls sneak back to the mansion."

Zhou Ziyan turned his head and took a look, only to see two lovely women disguised as men standing behind him not too far away. The two daughters were Qing Huan and Ting Lan.In fact, in the entire praying team, only a few maids could be seen beside the queen. Since the queen is a woman after all, she could bring a few maids to serve her closely.Zhou Ziyan went to Tianze Temple to investigate people secretly, and he really couldn't do without these powerful left and right hands, so he had to ask Qing Huan and Ting Lan to pretend to be guards in his house.

Zhou Ziyan posted it over, patted Chen Ying's back with his hands, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Commander Chen, don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, I will guarantee that with the skills of Qing Huan and Ting Lan, I will not Teach people to find out. You should take good care of the emperor's life and safety yourself, don't worry about me."

Chen Ying glanced at him, and said helplessly: "You, you, it's really... hey... Forget it, I don't have anything to say about you." Then Chen Ying clamped her horse's belly and ran to the front to check the environment.

Zhou Ziyan looked at Chen Ying's back, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Okay, I didn't expect our Mrs. Chen to be quite a mother-in-law."

As the team gradually reached the top of Qingwu Mountain, Tianze Temple was already looming in front of people's eyes.

In front of the gate of Tianze Temple, the abbot Master Wuyou led a group of disciples in the temple, standing respectfully waiting for the arrival of Emperor Qi Yuan.Every year, the ritual of lighting lamps and praying for blessings will last three days and three nights in the temple. During this period, special people will guard at the foot of Qingwu Mountain, and other princes and nobles in the capital, as well as courtiers and family members, are not allowed to go up the mountain to pray for blessings.

In just a cup of tea, the praying team had already arrived at the gate of Tianze Temple.Although Tianze Temple is receiving the royal salary and is at the foot of the emperor, its grandeur is no more than that, only slightly larger than ordinary temples.It is heard that the abbot, Master Wuyou, used most of the salary given by the imperial court to help the poor people.

The so-called Buddha is merciful, and those who practice Buddhism and Taoism pretend in their hearts that they are all common people in the world, and they understand the difficulties of people's livelihood better than those courtiers who usually live in the crown.

After saluting to Qi Yuan with all the disciples in the monastery, Master Wuyou sent his disciples to lead everyone to their respective residences, and after a short rest, they can have a meal.

In fact, the rooms in Tianze Temple are similar.It’s just that when the temple was originally built, the former abbot, Master Wuzhi, was careful. He thought that Tianze Temple was a temple for the Daliang royal family to pray for blessings. A fine dormitory.

The current arrangement is that the emperor Qi Yuan has one room, the empress Yang Xiaoshu has one room, and the crown prince Qi Zuo has one room.In the last room left, Qi Yuan looked at Zhou Ziyan and said, "Xiao Yan, I remember that because of your young age, your father didn't bring you with me when he came to Tianze Temple to pray for blessings. Now you have grown up , I didn’t expect you to come to pray with me today, since it’s the first time, I’ll live in a better place, and I’ll give you the rest.”

Zhou Ziyan was worried that the ordinary huts were gathered together, and it would be very inconvenient if he wanted to do something in the temple.Right now, the emperor has just perfected himself and allocated a separate superior squatter room.So he cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Qi Yuan waved his hands, and then said: "I think it's the first time you come to Tianze Temple, you must not know the layout of the temple, later Master Wuyou will take you to your hut, and let Master Wuyou tell you Talk about the temple structure and layout of Tianze Temple."

Zhou Ziyan secretly rejoiced. He didn't expect to be given a quiet room and a monk guide along the way to let him understand the terrain well. I'm afraid it must be written in the almanac today that he will be blessed if he travels well.

Master Wuyou walked over slowly, and said lightly, "Young General, please come this way."

Just now Zhou Ziyan didn't notice Master Wuyou's face, now when he looked over, he couldn't help saying, "This monk is so handsome!"

It has not been five years since Wuyou took over the position of Master Wuzhi, the former abbot of Tianze Temple. Back then, Master Wuzhi had to retire because of his deteriorating health.The most pitiful thing is that there are only a handful of closed disciples of Master Wuzhi, one is the big disciple Wuchen who is narrow-minded, and the other is the little novice Wu Yao who has not yet received the full ordination and just turned eight years old. It fell on Wuyou.In fact, Wuyou is also trying to catch the ducks on the shelves. He is not too young, and he is probably the youngest abbot and abbot in Daliang.

No matter how young you are, Wuyou still has a handsome face.Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were as red as blood, but her face lacked the sharp edges and corners like Su Han, making her look more feminine.He is tall and tall, and he is dressed in a monk's robe like clouds and snow. Following his unhurried footsteps, sweeping him like this really gives people a sense of cleanliness from the mud but not stained.

Just looking at Wuyou's face, one would think that such a pure and innocent person should speak softly, but on the contrary, Wuyou's tone makes people listen to it, as if they are under a thousand feet of ice, Do not keep silent.

Seeing that Zhou Ziyan didn't respond, Wuyou called again lightly: "Young General, please come here."

Only then did Zhou Ziyan come to his senses, and at the moment he also felt that he was sick. He stared at the monk for a long time. He was just a little handsomer, but if he was handsome, his cheap younger brother was even more handsome.Then he followed Wuyou's footsteps, smiled and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, Master Abbot. Just now I suddenly thought of my younger brother, and I was distracted for a while. I didn't hear you call me, please forgive me .”

Wuyou smiled lightly, but the smile faded away immediately, and then said lightly: "Oh, it seems that the major general loves him very much."

Zhou Ziyan waved his hand and said, "That brat is very messy, and I can't discipline him. But he is a cold-faced little guy with a warm heart, and he is not bad to my big brother."

After talking a few words with Wuyou, before he knew it, Zhou Ziyan had already arrived in his room.Just as Wuyou was about to close the door and leave, Zhou Ziyan suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Hold on, abbot, I have another thing I want to ask my lord, and I would like to ask my lord to clear up my doubts."

Wuyou raised his eyes and said calmly, "Major General, please speak."

Zhou Ziyan stared at Wuyou's eyes that were as calm as water, and slowly said: "Buddhism emphasizes compassion, and it is the responsibility of the common people in the world, but there are so many temptations in the world, can the master stop?"

What Zhou Ziyan said was actually trying to set Wuyou's words. Since Du Yanlan and the mysterious man were able to enter Tianze Temple, it means that there must be eyesliners for the two of them in this temple.Besides, as Qing Huan and Ting Lan said, Du Yanlan and the mysterious man seemed to know how to escape from the ground, and they disappeared in Tianze Temple in the blink of an eye. Woke up.Perhaps the more powerful the person, the easier it is to do it.

Zhou Ziyan knows how to trick people, firstly he doesn't ask directly, and secondly he calls the other party master affectionately and respectfully, as if this question is really a life question that he must think about every night before going to bed.

Wuyou put his hands together in front of his chest, and said coldly: "Amitabha, everything in the world is a huge abyss. You and I are pedestrians standing in front of this abyss. Every day and night, I look at the abyss like this. Some live in fear, while others live in awe. Wuyou has always been in awe of everything in the world. Major General, how about you? Have you ever felt awe?"

Zhou Ziyan used to have a headache when he heard Mr. Shu Xiu shaking his head and talking about some great principles, but now Wuyou talked to him about life in Buddhism, and his temples hurt even more.Zhou Ziyan felt that he was just looking for trouble for his own cleverness just now, so he might as well call Shang Qing Huan and Ting Lan to turn this Tianze Temple upside down from head to toe.

Only then did Zhou Ziyan slowly open his mouth and said: "I have followed my father to southern Xinjiang since I was ten years old. In southern Xinjiang, I often saw some people displaced by the border turmoil. A bowl of gruel with a total of only ten grains of rice. People come and go. Although Daliang is now a prosperous and prosperous scene, seeing these poor people, I always feel that I have not done enough, and I think this is my awe."

Zhou Ziyan's words touched Wuyou's heart. He thought that Zhou Ziyan was just like him in appearance, a dandy and romantic, but he didn't expect Zhou Ziyan to be the most important general in the world.Wuyou suddenly changed his cold appearance, and said softly: "Wuyou feels that the major general is destined. Next, if there is anything that needs help, just ask, and Wuyou will do it with all his strength. Major general and Rest first, some disciples will ask you to eat later."

Zhou Ziyan suddenly felt that Wuyou's change of attitude was inexplicable, and clapped his hands in embarrassment: "Then thank you, abbot."

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry, it's past 12 o'clock again, I'm guilty~

As a note, it is generally called Master Wuyou, the abbot, but the eldest brother is a clever ghost, and if there is something to ask for, he will call the master, which is more cordial~

The mystery of life experience in these chapters will be a bit stinky and long, but after unraveling the life experience of the second son, I guarantee that the plot will take a leap forward~
