Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 173 East Palace
Wang Pingan pointed at Huizheng, and said, "You're not that... ah, come to think of it, aren't you the eminent monk in the Inspiration Temple?" He looked at the dilapidated monastery and thought, "Being an eminent monk here It’s really poor enough, it’s far inferior to the Nianku in Baima Temple, how impressive is that old monk!”

Huizheng was also very surprised, but after all, he had recited too many Buddhist scriptures, his emotions and anger were invisible, and the surprised expression only flashed by, then he clasped his palms together, bent slightly, and said, "Amitabha, it turns out that Little benefactor of Ping'an, you have come to Chang'an and visited the poor monk in my temple, thank you very much, poor monk!"

Wang Pingan grinned, intending to tell the truth, but felt that telling the truth would hurt Huizheng's face a bit, so he said, "It turns out that Master Huizheng is actually in the temple. We met again. Are you safe?"

Di Renjie said, "Why, elder brother knows this little master?"

Wang Ping'an was slightly embarrassed, nodded, and said, "Brother, this is Master Huizheng, and this is my new brother, named Di Renjie." The last sentence was for Huizheng.

Huizheng greeted Di Renjie again with great courtesy.Di Renjie took out a letter from his bosom, and said: "So it's an eminent monk of Hui's generation, disrespectful and disrespectful. Dare I ask if the host is here, I have a letter here, I want to give it to him!" Handed the letter over.

Huizheng didn't answer the letter, his face was quite sad, and he said: "The teacher passed away a few days ago, and the poor monk came back a bit late, unexpectedly he didn't see the teacher for the last time!"

Di Renjie said ah, he didn't expect the abbot of the temple to pass away, his father had some friendship with the abbot of the Inspiration Temple, this time when he went to Beijing, Di's father wrote a letter and entrusted the abbot to take care of him, but it was unexpected It turns out that the Temple of Inspiration has no owner!

Seeing that Di Renjie's outstretched hand could not be retracted, Wang Pingan took the letter and said to Huizheng, "Master Huizheng's day is sad!" Is there anything important in the letter?

Di Renjie was quite smart, so he immediately understood and shook his head slightly. This letter was for his father and the host of Lingling Temple to reminisce about the past, and he asked the host to take care of himself. If the host is gone, this letter will be useless.

Wang Pingan stuffed the letter back into Di Renjie's hand, and was about to speak, but the young monk behind said: "Master Uncle, here is a copy of the certificate, it is... It belongs to this Grand Master Uncle!" Having said that, he bravely handed over the certificate indicating the identity of Wang Pingan's Grand Master's uncle to Huizheng.

No matter how calm Huizheng was, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face this time. After reading the paperwork, his surprise turned into horror in an instant. He said: "The former abbot of the White Horse Temple has passed away for many years. The little benefactor of Ping An How could you become his disciple?"

Wang Pingan laughed a few times, and then focused on what happened in Luoyang.After hearing this, Huizheng was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he murmured: "This is really a coincidence, the poor monk has always wanted to cross the Ping'an Primary School...Master Nianyou came out of the sea of ​​bitterness, but Master Uncle Ku was a step ahead !"

In fact, monks in various monasteries do not have strict titles of seniority. Everyone just yells at random according to their age, like Huizheng’s master is called senior brother when thinking about suffering, but Huizheng is also called master, based on the Dharma. The level of advanced research is by no means the real seniority.But Huizheng wanted to call Nian Kuo his uncle, so Wang Ping'an became his uncle!

Wang Ping'an wiped his forehead and said: "It's already very hot today, you call me uncle again, it makes me sweat all over, don't call me like that, call me my name, call me disease-free That's it, we don't necessarily have any difference in generation!"

Huizheng handed the certificate to Wang Ping'an, but said: "It's absolutely impossible, how can one's seniority be mistaken, uncles can be easy-going, but nephews can't be presumptuous!"

Di Renjie showed a smile on his face. Although he felt that he shouldn't smile at this time, he couldn't bear it anymore. If Wang Pingan was an uncle, wouldn't he be an uncle too!

Wang Pingan didn't want to get entangled in this kind of issue. He glanced at the dilapidated monastery, and said tactfully: "After your master passed away, your senior uncle or senior brother went to other temples to place orders. How many people are there in this temple?" stay?"

He said so in his mouth, but in his heart he couldn't believe it. Looking at the dilapidated scene of this monastery, it would not take a few years to create it. It is estimated that Huizheng's master is not a person who is not very knowledgeable in the world. There are nerds among the scholars, and among the monks I'm afraid there are some who are not smooth enough. They may be very good in Buddhism, but the Guangda Temple is not capable enough. If the former director of the Inspiration Temple had the ability to make friends with people like suffering, the temple would not be dilapidated like this. Grass is growing in the yard!

Huizheng was silent for a while, and then said sadly: "All the monks in Hesi Temple have gone out to practice asceticism, and there are only poor monks and him left in the temple!" A grandson of a senior brother, now stays in the temple to take care of secular affairs."

Difficulty?This name, no wonder all the other monks ran away, and he was the only one left. With this dharma name, other monasteries dare not accept him!

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "Forget it, why are you talking about these annoying things, let's talk about something happy!" But the scene in front of him was so bleak, but he couldn't think of any happy words.

But Di Renjie said: "For ordinary people, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. It is the same for your temple. Now that it looks like this, how can it be worse? It can't be worse, so It will surely prosper day by day in the future, Master Huizheng, don't worry!"

Before the others could speak, the little monk couldn't help it, and said, "It can be worse, for example, it's a fire..."

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't worry about it anymore! Go, you go to the street now, lead my horse, and walk around the street. If someone asks you, who owns this horse, you will Bring him to the temple to meet me!"

The little monk hurriedly agreed, and went out to lead the white dragon horse and was about to leave. Wang Pingan added: "If it is a soldier who asks, then forget it, but don't bring them here!"

It was difficult to send them away, Wang Ping'an said: "Master Huizheng, we can't stand in the courtyard and talk, if there is tea and rice, please take some out, it's so late, we haven't eaten yet."

Huizheng hurriedly said: "Uncle Nianyou, you can just call me the nephew of the poor monk." Then he said with a wry smile: "There is no tea and rice for guests in this temple, but they grow some vegetables in the backyard, and let them eat every day. If it’s difficult, go to the street to change some food, there is no overnight rice in the temple!”

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "I have some money here, how about..." Turning his head and looking outside the door, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Wang Ping'an went into the main hall and said: "Then bear with it, wait for my followers to find me, and I will have whatever I want!"

Sitting in the hall, Huizheng has a lot of research on Buddhism, but he is not good at hospitality, and he is far from the ability to talk without words like thinking about hardships, so he and Wang Ping'an stared at each other, relatively silent!

After a short time, just as the sky was getting dark, people heard voices from outside. As soon as the temple gate opened, a large group of people rushed in, and the leader was Ouyang Li.

As soon as Ouyang Li entered the yard, he yelled loudly: "Master, master, where are you? Oh, master, why did you come here, but it was easy for us to find, and I almost didn't panic to death!"

Mi Xiaomiao also ran in from behind, and the eunuch shouted with sweat all over his face, "Ancestor, ancestor! I said there is no disease, but you almost scared me to death, just a little bit, I will I was scared to death!"

He was sent by the crown prince to invite Wang Ping'an. There was nothing wrong with him all the way, but he lost him when he entered Chang'an. How could he bear this responsibility? If you leave it to him to do it, you will be out of favor if you lose favor. For eunuchs, if you lose favor, your life will be over!

Wang Pingan rushed out from the hall and said, "I'm sorry, I made Master Mi worry!"

Mi Xiaomiao ran up to him, stomped her feet and said, "My lord must not spare those bastards guarding the gate lightly! But there is no rush, we have to go to the palace to meet the prince immediately when we enter the capital, but No delay!" Without further ado, he pulled Wang Ping'an and left.

Wang Pingan had no choice but to follow him out of the Inspiration Temple. Others had no choice but to wait here. Hamiti and the others were reluctant to leave, so they stayed instead of going to their residence in Beijing.

On the way, Wang Ping'an asked: "Master Mi, it's getting dark, can't we enter the palace?"

Mi Xiaomiao said: "Of course you can't go in, but you have to report to the guards that we are back. See you or not, it's the business of His Royal Highness, but whether you can go or not is our business. The etiquette is tens of millions. Indispensable. You can't feel anything now, but if someone is behind the scenes and makes irresponsible remarks to His Royal Highness, it will be too late for you to make up for it!"

Wang Pingan had nothing to say, so he could only follow him all the way to the gate of the East Palace.

When they arrived, the gate of the East Palace had already been locked, and it was impossible to let them in again. Mi Xiaomiao reported to the guards. He knew that the crown prince would not be summoned at such a time, but he still pretended to be anxious. Outside the palace gate, he stomped his feet and beat his chest, yelling that it was too late and he had done enough tricks.

After a long time, the news spread from the palace that the prince was ordered to come back tomorrow, so Mi Xiaomiao left with Wang Pingan and returned to the Inspiration Temple.

There were a lot of people in the caravan, and although the temple was poor, it didn't bother everyone. There were all food and lodging supplies, anyway, there was nothing else in the temple, and there were plenty of empty houses, so everyone spent the night in the temple!
Others slept peacefully, but Di Renjie tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He felt very strange, who the hell is the elder brother? Why does the prince want to see him?

On the fourth watch of the second day, Mi Xiaomiao called Wang Pingan, washed and dressed, and the two rushed to the East Palace.

He waited from dawn until three poles in the sun, but the crown prince never summoned Wang Ping'an and let him wait outside.Wang Ping'an was neatly dressed, dressed in a full suit of formal attire, and was standing under the sun outside the palace gate again. He was sweating profusely from the heat, and he couldn't bear it!
Wang Pingan said to Mi Xiaomiao, who was also covered in sweat, "Master Mi, if the prince is not free today, let's go back!"

But Mi Xiaomiao said: "Are you kidding, even if you have to wait for a day, you have to wait! But today is also strange, why hasn't His Royal Highness summoned you?"

"How about, let's find a shady place, or wait in the doorway?" Wang Ping'an made another suggestion.

Mi Xiaomiao smiled wryly: "It's not bad if you didn't make you kneel and wait, just bear with it, maybe the crown prince will summon you soon!"
