Chang'an is good

Chapter 29 There is Buddha's light, but not much

This pagoda is majestic and majestic, with the words "Tiannv Pagoda" written on the golden plaque in front of the pagoda.

There were four monks guarding in front of the pagoda, but they were not ordinary monks, but warrior monks—Chang Suining swept past the four monks without a trace.

Not only that, but there are also unusual things around this tower.

Chang Suining looked at the piles of bluestones around the pagoda, the tinkling sound of the stream, and the bamboo forest that had just sprouted leaves—

Right in front of the pagoda gate, there is a tall bronze tripod-style incense burner with green smoke curling up.

Chang Suining squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the golden bell hanging from the eaves of the pagoda, which appeared golden in the morning light.

And looking at the Buddhist temples from a distance, it can be seen that the location of this pagoda is also very particular—or in other words, the entire Dayun Temple is built in a place with exquisite geomantic omen, but this pagoda is built within the array.

She is not proficient in these strange formations, but when Wujue was a military adviser, she was very good at laying out the formations, and she learned a lot over time.

And the formation around the "Tiannv Pagoda" in front of him was probably set up by Wujue.

It's just that it is different from the formation in the army after all, she doesn't see what kind of formation it is and what it is used for.

"This Tiannv Pagoda was built by His Majesty before he ascended the throne." Chang Kuo glanced at it, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "It is recorded in the "Dayun Sutra" that the Jingguang Tiannv once visited the Lantern Buddha, After hearing the Great Nirvana Sutra, due to this reason, Sakyamuni Buddha was reborn as a pure light celestial girl when he was alive. The Heavenly Maiden Tower is dedicated to the Pure Light Goddess."

Chang Suining lowered his eyes, concealing a trace of mockery in his eyes.

It turns out that this is the origin of Dayun Temple.

The Empress Ming is borrowing from the Buddhist scriptures to imply that she is the reincarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha, so she needs to be the king as a woman to save the world?
Although a hundred years ago, there was a precedent for a woman to be emperor in Dasheng, but the empress was a princess from the orthodox royal family, and she was established as the empress dowager when she was young, which was justified.

But the Empress Ming is different. She is just a queen with a foreign surname. If she wants to ascend to the supreme position, in addition to planning and scheming to gather power, she also needs a "righteous name" that can subdue the hearts of the people-the saying of gods and Buddhas is an easy-to-use method .

In order to tell the world that she is the monarch bestowed by the destiny-the holy king of the heavenly book, it is the holy book.

"But I heard that pilgrims are not allowed to enter here, only Master Wujue or those who have the permission of saints can enter." Chang Suian said, and looked into the tower curiously: "I didn't even go in to see it. pass."

When they passed by, the four monks with their palms folded in front of them kept their eyes closed, completely undisturbed by external objects, like four mighty Vajra statues.

In a gust of wind, the golden bell rang softly with a sense of Zen.

Chang Suining suddenly paused, and his expression changed.

……

"...The thunderstorm half a month ago almost destroyed this array, and look at this array of stones, it was destroyed at that time."

At this moment, a monk in the abbot's cassock came out from the back of the pagoda, and said: "There are lightning protection objects on the pagoda, and the spring thunder never thought it would hit the pagoda. Everything in the pagoda is intact, only the There is a crack in the statue of Jade for some unknown reason..."

The tall and straight young man beside him was silent for a long time before he asked, "According to the opinion of the abbot, is this vision inauspicious or auspicious?"

"It's hard to say." The monk sighed slightly, and said: "Since the start of this formation, there is no complete certainty, there is no way to refer to it before, and it is also difficult to get a glimpse of the future. It only depends on the will of heaven and chance."

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at the tower body with a sense of feeling: "But since there is a vision, there must be something to refer to... Although I don't know what it refers to for the time being, but maybe—"

The monk said, and looked at the young man with a slight smile: "Cui Dadu may have a chance."

The young man's eyes were slightly startled—he?

The monk said: "At the beginning, the jade of this statue was found by Governor Cui Dadu from the Western Regions. There may be a ray of opportunity in the dark."

The young man didn't say a word, but raised his head slightly to look at the shaking golden bell, and the morning light cast a layer of quiet golden light on his dark and clear eyebrows and eyes.

"... Ning Ning, what's wrong with you!" The nervous voice of the young man faintly entered the keen ears of the martial arts practitioner.

"Suining, what's wrong with you? Come on, sit down and rest..."

Xi'er hurriedly supported her daughter to sit down on the stone bench under the linden tree not far away.

"The girl's face is all pale, but she has a severe headache?" Xi'er squatted down in front of Chang Suining, and immediately burst into tears again: "It's all because of the servant girl..."

Chang Suining: "Why don't you change your name to Wuwu?"

Xi'er's crying stopped suddenly, holding back her crying, she looked at her girl tearfully.

Only then did Chang Suining take off the hand that was pressing on the temple, and looked at the place where she was standing just now, and saw patterns of Buddhist monsters and monsters engraved in gold lacquer and ink on the stone brick.

"Ning Ning, are you feeling better?" The image of his younger sister retching after seeing him in the morning was still in front of her eyes, and Chang Suian didn't dare to get her face too close.

"It's much better." When Chang Suining replied, his eyes still fell on the pattern in front of him.

She should have entered the battle just now.

But Chang Suian and the others are also in the same place, why is she the only one who suddenly feels unwell and has a splitting headache?

It can't be that she is a lonely ghost inside, and when she comes to this Buddhist holy place, is it true that the holy light of Buddhism will drive her away?

As usual, she might not be convinced of the theory of the gods and Buddhas, but she has experienced things that cannot be explained by common sense, so she has to believe it.

But she didn't steal it, and she didn't rob it. What she did now was not what she wanted, and no one asked her opinion. Could it be that Lord Yan made his own decision, didn't greet the gods and Buddhas next to him, and the opinions were not unified?

Chang Suining looked at the tower.

However, as the saying goes, it is easier to invite the Buddha than to send the Buddha—since she has come back to life, and since this life was given to her, the rest is up to her to decide.

She didn't plan to repay the advantage she got by luck.

"Sui Ning, drink some water." Seeing that she seemed to be in a daze, Chang Kuo urged her warmly.

Only then did Chang Suining see the water bottle handed over by Xi'er in front of him, so he took it.

"Why is Governor Cui here?" Chang Kuo's unexpected voice sounded above his head, and Chang Suining raised his eyes subconsciously.

She has seen Cui Jing many times. At this time, her gaze directly passed Cui Jing and landed on the chubby monk beside her.

Wujue didn't grow hair in her early years. When she first saw this person recommending himself, she thought he was a monk who came to beg for alms. Later, she realized that he hadn't become a monk, and only his hair was what became a monk.

The cause and effect, the self-report is as follows——

When I was young, I bald early, so I shaved it all.

I would rather be bald than bald.

I swear not to leave any room for the word baldness to continue to attack.

A very stubborn, very uncompromising person.

But at this time, he was wearing the abbot's cassock, with a round head and brain, a pair of round earlobes, and a kind and Zen-like smile on his face.

At this moment he saw Chang Kuo: "Yo, old Chang!"

Chang Suining: "..."

Well, the Buddha's light was completely shattered, as if he had returned to the sheep soup restaurant from the holy place of the Buddhist altar in an instant.

Wujue walked over quickly.

Chang Sui'an and Xi'er called "Master Wujue" and saluted with Cui Jing.

Seeing that he seemed to be looking in his direction, Chang Suining put his hand on his forehead and frowned as if he was having a headache—this ceremony was not acceptable.

"...What's wrong with Xiao Suining?" Wujue raised the hem of his cassock and squatted down in front of Chang Suining: "Come on, let Er Dae take a look—"

"..." Chang Suining looked at him inexplicably.

She even became a monk, so she still wants to join in the fun of being a father?

Is it appropriate for him to hear this for himself?

As everyone knows, what's even more inappropriate is yet to come: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time, why does Xiao Suining... look more and more beautiful?"

Wujue stared at her, and there seemed to be a sound of novelty and wonder in his eyes.

Chang Kuo said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Sui Ning has a headache and discomfort, so please don't say a few words."——Others don't know what happened to the child, so doesn't this bald man know?He still has the mind to play tricks.

"Headache... come, come, come with me to the Buddhist monastery to warm up and have a rest."

Seeing Chang Suining nodded, Xi'er helped him up.

Cui Jing said a few words to Chang Kuo, without staying any longer: "Cui will leave first."

Master Wujue smiled: "Benefactor Cui, walk slowly."

Cui Jing nodded and walked away.

Chang Suining, who was being supported by Xi'er, passed the place where the carved patterns were carved, feeling lingering fear, and took two steps away to one side.

At this moment, Cui Jing walked to her side.

Girls' spring shirts and skirts are fresh and pretty.

The young man's armor and black robe are cold and clean.

Sometimes the wind blows, the golden bell moves, and the soft embroidered white orchid cloak gently brushes over the armor, and it leaves in an instant.

Both of them noticed something, Cui Jing lowered his eyes, met the bright eyes that looked up at him slightly, and also retracted his eyes in an instant.

There was the scent of green bamboo growing in the wind, and when the morning light swayed among the bodhi trees, the two passed by silently.

"... Dudu, is that the girl from General Chang's mansion? Your subordinates look at it, why does it seem vaguely familiar?" After Chang Kuo and others walked away, Yuan Xiang, who was guarding not far away, said with a slightly confused expression. : "But I can't remember when I saw..."

Cui Jing: "..."

His subordinates don't seem to be very smart.

"Oh! This subordinate recalled it!" Yuan Xiang was stunned: "Two years ago, when General Chang and the governor led troops to go to war, the gentleman of the Chang family came to see General Chang off. At that time, the girl from the Chang family seemed to be here too! Pass!"

Cui Jing: "... I recalled it very well, so I don't need to recall it again next time."

Yuan Xiang scratched his head.

"Colonel... the sage specifically allows you to rest with General Chang for three days, and then enter the palace to receive the reward on the day when all the officials meet in Shuowang three days later." Yuan Xiang asked: "The governor didn't close his eyes all night. You've been busy all day, do you want to go home and rest?"

Just thinking of those people in the Cui family, the voice behind him lowered down.

Cui Jing: "Go back to Xuance Mansion first."

Xuan Ce Army has a government office in central Beijing, named Xuan Ce Mansion, which manages the affairs of Xuan Ce Army.

Yuan Xiang should "yes".

……

Chang Sui Ning did not stay in Dayun Temple for a long time.

At first, she felt that the formation was a bit evil, and she wanted to stay away out of instinct, for fear that this life that hadn't been warmed up would be taken back again.

Secondly, the time to meet with Zhou Ding is approaching.

For the third time, Wujue yawned one after another. As soon as Cui Jing walked away, he complained endlessly: "This young man can really endure... I was forced to talk to him about the Dharma all night, and I was so sleepy that I hated it." You can't pass away on the spot!"

Chang Suining heard it in his ears, and couldn't help feeling again that there was Buddha's light, but not much.

……

The meeting place with Zhou Ding in the letter was by the Seoul Lake not far from Dayun Temple.

The lake is surrounded by green mountains and Weishui River, with beautiful scenery, just in time for spring, and it is a good place for boating in spring.

When Chang Suining arrived, there was already a figure waiting in the long pavilion by the lake.

"Look, girl, that dog-like guy in the blue shirt is Zhou Ding." Xi'er whispered in Chang Suining's ear.
