The next day was the last show of the monks' trip to Beijing, so it was grand.

Everyone washed clean and white, and the stubble on their heads was shaved again. The big monk put on grand cassocks, and the young monks put on clean monk clothes. The parcels are not carried on the back, and someone will send them to the back, each holding a wooden fish. , Chanting Buddhist scriptures, walking with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes, even the little guys like Mo Ji Mo Xu looked solemn and solemn.

If none of the old monks came, we could only try to increase the weight of these big and small monks.

The emperor has spared no effort in this matter. Although there are not many people sent, none of them are indiscriminate. Not to mention other things, only the prince came to four. If he went to Dongshan to pick up people, he ended up missing himself There are two Liu Qin and Liu Yue, equal to a few monks in a small Kudu Temple, using half of the emperor's son.

What's more, along the way, there are eminent monks welcoming each other and believers seeing each other off.

From the post station to the Kudu Temple, this whole set of routes can turn even the most powerful people into dogs. Of course, Yun Qi is not counted, because he is an "outsider expert"!

In the past, he always used these four words to mock his master monk, but now he has also tasted it.

When the others were trekking hard, he was wearing new clothes, hugged a clean little dog, and sat in a spacious and comfortable carriage, beside him were two young men in green clothes cooking tea and ink. There are four walking with the car - I don't know where Mr. Wu borrowed them to support him, and the quality is quite high.

Having nothing to do, Yun Qi looked again at the charter specially left by Mr. Wu, and found that the girl of the Gu family was probably in vain—maybe because his image was too unpopular, so Mr. Wu simply asked him to The mysterious route was carried out to the end, and he was excluded from every link that required publicity.Let him change into new clothes, just in case.

He got into the car directly in the yard, and stayed on it the whole time, even if someone came to greet him specially, the servant would always answer for him—he was not even allowed to speak.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs spared no effort to build a relatively spacious mountain road. Although it is winding all the way, it goes directly from the foot of the mountain to the gate of the temple, allowing him to take a car all the way to Kudu Temple. Just "disappeared mysteriously".

Because he was about to arrive at his new home, the young monks were too excited last night, and they were so noisy that Yun Qi stayed up all night. Now he was staggering on the carriage, and it didn't take long for him to shake him out of sleepiness. He simply leaned on the carriage and took a nap, but the servants Qingyi and Qinger thoughtfully gave him a pillow and covered him with a thin quilt.

The carriage stopped from time to time, Yun Qi didn't pay much attention, but this time it stopped for a long time, Qing Yi, who kept quiet all the way, reminded in a low voice: "My lord, the Kudu Temple is here."

Kudu Temple?

Yun Qi opened his eyes in surprise, and then suddenly realized that this Kudu Temple is not that Kudu Temple.

Sitting up, Qingyi thoughtfully opened the car curtain a slit, and Yun Qi saw the mountain gate that was several times more magnificent than Kudu Temple, and there was a big "Kudu Temple" on it, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

"So ugly."

Today's handwriting is really not very good, but it is full of momentum, but the writing on the plaque of the Monk Temple is so sharp, is it appropriate?

Looking at other places, compared to when they set off, I don't know how many people are there, and there are even many female relatives.Probably after the ceremony is completed, go in and burn a stick of incense. If you can't get the first stick of incense, it's good to be the first batch of pilgrims.

However, the number of pilgrims in Kudu Temple is about this group. Kudu Temple has never received pilgrims, and Kudu Temple is naturally the same, and it is "opened" today, with one exception.

Hey, that's... Gu Yaoqin?

Yun Qi narrowed his eyes lightly. Not long ago, he was thinking whether he should find an account book and write down Gu Yaoqin's plot against him, so as to save him from turning around and forgetting about it. In the end, the real master delivered it to his door today Come on, it's easy.

Gu Yaoqin changed her attire again today, not as embarrassed as she was in the cave, nor as luxurious as when she went up the mountain for the second time, but in light yellow, which looks lovely and charming.There are no hairpins and rings on the head, only a simple and elegant camellia.They are not velvet flowers or silk flowers, but real camellias, which bloom beautifully in the cold wind.

In this season, this camellia is undoubtedly rarer and more amazing than gold, jade and gemstones.

Yun Qi wasn't too surprised, he taught Gu Yaoqin the ability to cultivate vegetables, fruits and flowers in winter, what's so strange about it?

Of course, it's not purely due to him, the idea was originally Gu Yaoqin's, but he turned Gu Yaoqin's "whimsical" into reality, and taught her that's all.

Gu Yaoqin was standing beside a dignified and beautiful woman, chatting and laughing in whispers from time to time, looking very intimate.Just looking at the woman's position, one can tell that her status is not low, even faintly above the prince, presumably she should be a nobleman of the royal family.

Yun Qi only took one look, and was about to look away to find Pu Hong and the others, but Gu Yaoqin suddenly turned her head and showed him a warm and encouraging smile, she was slightly taken aback, wondering if she looked too hard and was caught by her When she realized it, Gu Yaoqin had already turned her head and continued to whisper to the woman.

Yun Qi gestured to the size of the gap, and made sure that Gu Yaoqin would not be able to see him from where he was - what are you laughing at?

He didn't want to think too much, tilted his head and found Pu Hong who was exchanging feelings with the masters from other temples from the gap in the curtain, and the young monks standing upright. After watching for a while, he felt bored and didn't want to turn his eyes , and saw Gu Yaoqin smiling this way.

Yun Qi frowned slightly, only to hear Qing Er whisper: "My lord, this Miss Gu Qi is very playful, she will smile here every once in a while!"

Yun Qi suddenly felt a chill, and whispered a few words.

Qing Er nodded, got out of the car and found Master Pu Hong whispered for a while, then returned to the car, and told the driver to leave for Yun Qi's residence.

The courtyard where Yun Qi lives is connected to the Kudu Temple, but it is a single courtyard, and it is not necessary to go through the Kudu Temple to enter and exit... There are many procedures behind, and he is too lazy to wait any longer.

……

Not long after Yunqi left, Monk Puhong led the monks from Kudu Temple and the eminent monks from the surrounding temples into the gate of the temple. When the gate of the temple is opened again, it is better to go in and burn incense.

Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky at the moment, the snow under the feet was constantly exuding a cold air, and the north wind was even more biting. These people were used to being pampered, so they would not wait here, and one by one returned to the carriage to take shelter from the wind.

In front of the mountain gate, many poorly dressed people with bamboo baskets filled with joss sticks and sesame oil began to appear one after another.

Kudu Temple does not accept pilgrims. Only today, everyone can go in and burn a stick of incense. However, the foot of the mountain is blocked by officers and soldiers. Most believers are stopped at the foot of the mountain. Only those who live on the mountain can take the path to climb the mountain. come.

Although the journey was difficult, they all showed joy and piousness.

At this moment, Gu Yaoqin also boarded a carriage with the woman.

She helped the woman to sit down, added some silver frost charcoal to her hand stove with her own hands, and said with a smile: "The princess has been tired for a long time, close your eyes and rest. I will watch carefully for you, and never let You missed the first stick of incense!"

The woman gave her a reproachful look and said, "What did you call me?"

Gu Yaoqin stuck out her tongue and said, "It was my mistake, Cousin!"

"Princess" smiled, and her expression quickly faded again, and she said dullly, "I don't believe this, what does it matter if the first incense burns and the second burns?"

Gu Yaoqin was surprised and said: "Since Aunt Biao doesn't believe this, why do you want to..."

Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has the most aloof and aloof personality, and is not interested in such excitement, but today she came here early in the morning, braving the cold wind and waiting for the monks at the gate of the temple for so long, and finally continued to wait at the gate Let them open the gate of the temple so that they can go in and burn incense - if it is not for piety, then what is it for?

The eldest princess leaned against the wall of the car with a calm expression: "I'm coming, of course there is a reason for coming."

Seeing that she had no intention of explaining, Gu Yaoqin didn't dare to pester her, poured two cups of hot tea, and sat down in front of her.

The eldest princess took a sip from the teacup and frowned slightly. Although the tea was good tea and the water was good water, they had been boiled for too long and lost their charm, so they could only barely drink it—it was ruined.

Although her "niece" is extremely intelligent, unfortunately, except for poetry, everything else is just mediocre. Occasionally, because of her ingenious thoughts, she is eye-catching, but she really doesn't get the essence.

However, the daughter's family doesn't have to be too demanding.

She casually took two sips before putting it down, and asked, "You have been to Kudu Temple, how did you feel?"

Gu Yaoqin said: "Of course the Kudu Temple is very good. The ancient atmosphere of the temple building has a kind of grand and open-minded beauty. It makes people see it, as if the time is out of order, and it is like returning to a thousand years ago. But the mountain is too high and the road is difficult. I was so tired that my calves were shaking.

"The master in the temple is also very good, and the little monk is also cute, but... anyway, they are all very good."

The eldest princess said displeased: "Just say what you have, when did you learn these bad habits, hesitating and covering up everything!"

Gu Yaoqin knew that the princess had always been straightforward, and she didn't see people talking around her, so she hurriedly explained: "It's really nothing, the masters are very good, it's just... a little bit tempered."

The eldest princess frowned slightly. Putting the words "monk" and "big temper" together sounded awkward, but Gu Yaoqin refused to say it, so she didn't ask further questions, and said: "The disciple of Master Duhai, named Yun Qi, you've seen it before, what kind of person is it?"

"Of course I've seen it before, and I was taken aback. He..." Gu Yaoqin blinked, showing her naughtiness, and said, "I won't tell you! Anyway, you can never imagine him!"

The princess shook her head, noncommittal to her betrayal, and said: "I was in the capital, and I heard that he has profound morals and accurate hexagrams, but is it true?"

Gu Yaoqin said: "I stayed on the mountain for a short time, and I haven't seen him make a divination. But I heard the little monk Mo Ji mentioned it once, it seems that it will snow in the future, and then it will snow after a few days Yes! It can be seen that the Taoism is profound.”

The princess burst out laughing: "Is this so profound? You really are a little idiot! I also explained that there will be wind, so I can forget about becoming a god?"

Gu Yaoqin let out a bewildered "ah" before reacting, and smiled sarcastically. After a while, she whispered again: "Speaking of this, I think of a joke, Aunt Biao, let me tell you!"

The princess smiled and said, "Okay!"

Gu Yaoqin coughed dryly, and said seriously: "By the way, there are three scholars who went to Beijing to rush for the exam together. I heard that there was a fortune teller who was as accurate as a god, so I went to him to do the math to see if I could go to high school."

The princess laughed first when she heard the words "The hexagram is accurate as a god", and Gu Yaoqin pursed her lips into a smile, and said vividly: "The fortune-teller raised a finger to them and smiled silently.

"The scholar couldn't find out why, so he had to leave. The apprentice of the fortune teller asked: 'Master, one finger, does it mean that only one person can pass the exam?'

"The fortune-teller shook his head and said: 'If one passes, then one passes, if two pass, one fails, if neither passes, one fails, for example...'"

Before she finished speaking, the princess laughed uncontrollably, and said, "You, you! You are such a narrow-minded ghost!"

While talking and laughing, a maid's voice came from under the car: "Princess, the gate of the temple is open."

The princess suppressed her smile, her expression returned to calm, and she said: "These monks are quite agile."

Gu Yaoqin lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, and said: "Ah, the elder cousin took the lead! Cousin, how about I stop him and let Cousin go in first? Ah, what happened to those young monks?"

He said again: "What's the matter with these masters? When they were in Kudu Temple, they kicked out fourth cousin, seventh cousin and me from the monastery, and now they are preventing big cousin from entering... What on earth are they trying to do?" ah?"
