This kind of opportunity must be seized. Monk Huitong glanced at the woman in front of him and said as calmly as possible.
“Princess, the poor monk has an old friend who has come from afar. I need to see him. I hope it will be convenient for him.”
The woman in pink clothes sat upright, subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the door, and then looked at Huitong.
“Since it is an old friend here, Ru Yan will not disturb the master.”
The woman stood up and bowed to Monk Huitong who also stood up.
“Well done, Ming King Buddha!”
Huitong returned the Buddhist gift and followed the eldest princess to the door. When she opened the door, the capable female officer was standing at the door, and the monk who came to inform was waiting not far away.
The eldest princess smiled and said to the female official.
“Let’s go to the temple and then go back to the other temple.”
When the eldest princess said this, Huitong also winked at the monk over there. The latter understood it and left quickly to inform the guests who were still waiting outside.
Ji Yuan waited at the archway of the inner courtyard for less than half a quarter of an hour when he saw the monk who had left in a hurry came back in a hurry.
“Well done, King Buddha of the Ming Dynasty, the benefactor of the plan. Uncle Master asked me to invite you over. Please come this way!”
After the Buddha’s name was passed, the monk stretched out his hand to invite him. Ji Yuan bowed in return, said “Thank you for your work” and stepped forward to follow.
It was only isolated by an unenclosed arch, but after passing by, I felt that a lot of the hustle and bustle outside Daliang Temple was gone at once, and it really felt like a pure place of Buddhism inside.
“Donor please come this way!”
Every time you reach a place where you need to turn a corner, the monk will take the first step.
When Ji Yuan and the monk passed another corner, they happened to see a capable female officer accompanying a woman in pink clothes walking slowly.
In Ji Yuan’s eyes, the female officer’s capable movements and long breathing, coupled with her strong Qi and blood and her small but solid official aura, she should be a master with an important job.
The peach-colored woman’s body is filled with luxurious aura, and there is a vague royal aura accompanying her. She must be a member of the royal family. Based on the previous rumors, her identity has been revealed.
While Ji Yuan was observing each other, the eldest princess and the female officer beside her were also looking at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan walks leisurely, with a sense of light wind and light clouds. Even if his eyes sweep over, he can’t feel a trace of aggression. It’s like quietly enjoying the scenery sweeping through the mountain flowers, and after taking a second look, he also moves away. He opened his eyes and stopped looking at her. He looked quite gentlemanly. The key is to face deeply. He actually looks good.
In this society, appearance is still important. If Ji Yuan has a swollen face full of pockmarks and a garlic nose, no matter how elegant his actions are, he will probably be laughed at behind his back.
The two sides passed each other without any verbal communication. Only the monk who led the way quickly stepped forward and clasped his hands in a salute when the two women approached. Ji Yuan did not stop walking.
When Ji Yuan left, the two women subconsciously looked back at his back. When they saw this man, they didn’t even turn around to look back.
“Is this the old friend of Master Huitong? He is really extraordinary!”
The female official was used to seeing rich and powerful people, but she still praised Ji Yuan sincerely, and the eldest princess on her side also smiled.
“The visitor who can surprise Master Huitong like this is naturally not an ordinary person.”
The two of them chatted and left slowly. Ji Yuan arrived at a monk hall in a separate courtyard after a short while. The still young and handsome monk Huitong was standing there. When he saw Ji Yuan coming, he immediately greeted him. Come up and perform Buddhist salutes and greetings.
“Well done Ming King Buddha, Mr. Ji has really arrived!”
“Master Huitong, are you okay?”
Ji Yuan returned the favor, looked at each other with a smile, and exchanged brief greetings to know that both parties were doing well.
Huitong pushed his hands towards the monk beside him.
“Zhixing, please go down first.”
“Yes, Uncle Master!”
After the monk left, Ji Yuan finally said the words he had been holding back in a slightly narrow tone.
“Master Huitong, there are many infatuated women who fall in love with you. Isn’t it more tiring to deal with them than chanting sutras?”
“Hey…that’s not all. It’s more difficult than the little monk and me to cross the mountains and save the souls of the dead! Sir, please come in.”
The two sat down in the monk hall. The table was still the same as before. Even the snacks and tea were not changed, but the people sitting there were different.
After communicating with each other for a period of time, Ji Yuan also learned about Huitong’s situation over the years.
“So, although Tianbao Kingdom is not overrun with demons, it does have internal and external troubles, which shows that the dynasty is unstable?”
“Not bad.”
Monk Huitong nodded.
“I first made a circuit in my Tingliang Kingdom, returned to Daliang Temple and stayed for a while, and then immediately went north to Tianbao Shangguo. In just about forty years, the situation there was the same as when I first arrived. It was much different when I went there last time. I mentioned this in detail in my letter to you, but it seems that you didn’t receive it.”
Monk Huitong’s letter was delivered to the foot of Tingqiu Mountain, and asked to be transferred to the mountain **** of Tingqiu Mountain to the territory of Dazhen, where it was then handed over to the post office in Dazhen for delivery.
Ji Yuan has not been in Ning’an County in these years. It is not clear whether the letter was lost in the middle, or whether it was sent but was delayed in the Yamen because he was not there. The last time Lu Shanjun transformed into Ji Yuan, he did not come to Ning’an County.
“If the current situation and the atmosphere are not good, thirty or forty years is really enough for some people to destroy a country with holes. It must have been four hundred years since the Tianbao Dynasty was established?”
Ji Yuan sighed and asked.
“Well, it’s been so long. I once went to Tianbao Kingdom with my master. I just felt that everything there was good and wonderful. But at that time, my master said that people who can’t recognize a few words Being able to be a magistrate and a county magistrate is sometimes just a facade. I was still young at that time and didn’t understand much about it, but now I think that Master had already seen through it.”
“Gold and jade are ruined on the outside!”
Ji Yuan murmured and asked more curiously.
“I wonder if your master is in the temple?”
Monk Huitong shouted the Buddha’s name.
“Well done, Great Ming King Buddha. My master, named Fudu, passed away thirty years ago at the age of eighty-six!”
Ji Yuan frowned.
“Such eminent monks only have eighty-six years to live? Doesn’t the Mingwang of Buddhism teach the Dharma of wisdom?”
“Life and death are determined by heaven. Our Daliang Temple is not a real Buddhist Dharma place, and even the incarnation of King Ming has not appeared. Although there is part of the wisdom of our Buddha, King Ming, not everyone can practice it unless there are elixirs and wonderful medicines to help. Master’s Dharma is profound, but he is still no match for Heaven, but he will surely be able to return to the Ming Dynasty.”
To put it bluntly, those who are profound in Buddhism will naturally have a noble state of mind, but if the spiritual energy does not produce wonderful Dharma, the body’s functions will not be able to withstand the years.
Ji Yuan shook his head, he must be able to return to the throne of Ming Dynasty?
Buddhism does not have a complete guidance system like the Yinsi. When an ordinary old monk passes away, unless there is an incarnation of King Ming or his true self, or a Buddhist master can guide the soul away, there is a high probability that he will still enter the underworld.
But Huitong now has the true Dharma in his body, and he understands this problem to some extent, so I won’t say anything about the fate.
“By the way, Master, who are you and the eldest princess?”
“Hey, Mr. Ji, don’t mention it. You must have met the eldest princess when you came here, right? Although she is weak and elegant, she actually has a lot of thoughts. She is also the biological sister of His Majesty. No one in Tingliang country dares to offend him, and he doesn’t know why he fell in love with me as a monk. It’s very tiring to deal with it!”
After all the important things were discussed, Monk Huitong began to pour out his bitterness.
To complain like this, Huitong could only talk to Ji Yuan. He had a special status in Daliang Temple and had no one to talk to. Although many monks said that the moment of tonsure also eliminated worries, but Monks themselves also have troubles.
“Haha, I see that the eldest princess is young, elegant and has a graceful figure, and her appearance must not be bad. Master, have you never thought about returning to secular life? I see that although your Buddha Dharma is profound, your Buddha nature is not that of a meditating old monk. I haven’t tried it. Can’t think about it!”
“Sir, don’t make jokes like this. It will be terrible if the eldest princess hears it.”
Listening to Ji Yuan’s words, Monk Huitong lost most of his halo of eminent monks. Even though he knew there was no one outside, he still carefully looked at the door, and then said with a bit of laughter and tears.
“Now His Majesty actually issued a special order for his own sister, allowing me to teach the princess to study the scriptures alone, but why did she come to study the scriptures…”
Ji Yuan smiled.
“Hahaha, is she greedy for your body?”
“Uh…”
Hui Tong’s face stiffened. Although Mr. Ji’s words sounded extremely awkward, he could not say anything to refute.
Daliang Temple is the national temple of the Tingliang Kingdom, and its involvement with the Tingliang Kingdom is actually quite deep. Even if Huitong is a monk with true Buddhist teachings, he can only go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshｕyuan.com to give orders to the emperor. With.
“Don’t mention it, don’t mention it anymore. It’s up to you to see this peach blossom tribulation. Oh, speaking of tribulation, Ji said something. Did the master mention a man named Zhao Long in Dazhen? After becoming a monk, Dharma name Jueming?”
Huitong frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“The young monk doesn’t remember this happening.”
“Oh, that’s another monk with the same Buddhist name…”
“The same as the monk’s name?”
Huitong wondered, although “Hui” is indeed used a lot in temples.
“Master, don’t worry too much.”
Ji Yuan smiled and looked in one direction with his Dharma Eyes, as if through the wooden wall of the room, looking towards the Mingwang Hall, the largest hall in Daliang Temple.
The incense there is filled with the Buddha’s energy, and the faint sound of chanting can’t be heard.
“I remember that the one you honor is King Foyin Ming?”
“Yes, it is King Foyin Ming. What did Mr. Ji see?”
Monk Huitong knew very well that the person in front of him was an expert with high moral standards, and he would not make mistakes without aim.
“You, Daliang Temple, have been working hard for so long. The Buddha statues in the temple have been listening to sutras every day and soaked in incense and vows for a long time. The incarnation of King Ming has finally become somewhat visible. It is said that when King Ming takes another incarnation, the true body of King Ming will personally surrender. Do you know if it’s true? ”
Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Huitong.
“Well, this young monk has very little cultivation and knowledge, so he can’t answer sir’s questions.”
Once Daliang Temple has the incarnation of King Ming, no matter how much Buddhist power this incarnation has, Daliang Temple is no longer an ordinary Buddhist temple. It can be regarded as a real Buddhist Dharma ground, equivalent to a new place of practice.
