The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 256 Mountain Road Distress
More than ten days later, I finally arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai. It was impossible for the queen mother and the emperor to climb the mountain. Therefore, it was the first time for Minzhi to enjoy this kind of treatment for the long red carpet and gorgeous sliding poles. When one helped her to the seat and sat down, she still looked up and down curiously. One of the two bamboo poles was covered by white gauze curtains. It looked dreamy, but when she sat in, she realized that the safety factor was zero. , no seat belts, no other barriers except the armrests on both sides and the backrest behind you.

The moment the sliding pole was raised, she was startled, feeling as if her heart was falling all the way down, she couldn't help but clung to the handrails on both sides tightly, her eyes were closed, she didn't dare to look at the side, she couldn't imagine how she was before Adapted to sedan chair.It's so high, it's so bumpy, and there's no shelter around... In the end, she was so frightened that she didn't even open her eyes as she went up the winding road.Qiu Ju and Mo Shuang, who were waiting on the sidelines, watched and shook their heads all the way. It was really speechless for Fujin to be timid.

The place where the Empress Dowager will be staying is the Luohu Temple in the mountains. When the sedan chair stopped, Minzhi was still trembling and her hands and feet were weak. Wu Fujin came up to support him, and managed to stand up. Fortunately, Kangxi and the princes accompanied the queen mother to stand at the front to participate in the welcome ceremony hosted by Master Abbot, and did not see Minzhi's embarrassment behind him.

After the previous ceremony was over, she was finally able to take two steps while supporting the servant girl's hand.The abbot led them to pay homage to the Daxiong Palace. Kangxi and the Queen Mother knelt inside, and the princes and female relatives could only kneel on the platform outside.The female relatives lived with the queen mother on the mountain, and the princes and grandchildren lived with Kangxi in the palace below the mountain.

Every day, the homework of the female relatives is to accompany the queen mother to listen to the abbot's morning class in the Daxiong Palace, then eat vegetarian food, then go back to the room to meditate and enlighten, then have lunch, and then wait for Kangxi to take the prince up the mountain to greet the queen mother. Accompany the Queen Mother to have dinner. During this period, the female relatives can have dinner with their husbands, and then send Kangxi down the mountain, and then wait for the next day to repeat.

On this day, after breakfast, Nurse Ning, who was beside the queen mother, came to tell her that the queen mother had summoned her.Min Zhi straightened her clothes and followed her mother to the Zen room where the Empress Dowager lived. She saw Wufujin, Jiufujin, and eighteen princesses had already knelt on the futon.Hastily stepped forward to salute, then knelt down on the vacant seat next to Wu Fujin, the queen mother said: "It's a blessing for you to accompany this old bone of Ai's family to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha these days..."

Minzhi and the others said they didn't dare, the queen mother raised her eyes: "Old Bajia, have you realized something in the past few days?" Minzhi lowered her head: "Returning to the emperor Mama, it is said that Wutai Mountain is the Taoist place of Manjusri Bodhisattva in the world. The grand daughter-in-law has come down these few days, she only feels that the Lingtai is clear and bright, and her body is light and healthy, it really is a good place."

The queen mother twitched her mouth: "The Ai family knows that it is boring for you to guard the Ai family every morning and evening, and you don't have to use sweet words to deceive the Ai family. The old eight family, you can't see the three sons here, Aren't you disappointed? What did you say that the Lingtai is clear and bright!" Minzhi was taken aback: "My granddaughter-in-law dare not lie to you, what my granddaughter-in-law said is the truth, the emperor Mama Mingjian, at the beginning, my daughter-in-law was a little disappointed, but Now that it's gone, I feel more at ease when the child is by our grandfather's side."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyes, and Minzhi prostrated herself: "If you go back to the Emperor Mama, you only let me bring Yan'er here this time, but the fifth sister-in-law and the ninth younger siblings don't have such kindness. The granddaughter-in-law is really... really There is nothing unsatisfactory."

"Really? Then let you stay alone with me, this old bone, and stay here with me for two days, are you willing?" Min pretended not to think, and blurted out: "Yes! Of course the granddaughter-in-law is willing, and the fifth sister-in-law and the ninth younger siblings are also the same. I am willing." The queen mother smiled happily: "The old five family members come to share tea with the Ai family."

The nanny has already set up the tea set, and Wu Fujin served the Empress Dowager's experience to order. She practiced the tea ceremony kung fu specially for her old man. It was naturally elegant and decent. When the tea bowl was brought to Minzhi, she shivered and took it with both hands. He lifted the lid a little, smelled it, brought it to his mouth, covered it with his left hand, took a sip, and then put the tea bowl on his right hand, still maintaining an upright sitting posture.

The queen mother saw it in her eyes: "Old Bajia, how about this tea?" Minzhi was taken aback, and then answered honestly: "If you go back to the emperor's mother, this is brought from home. This year's new tea, granddaughter-in-law is the first tea this year. Tasted it once, paired with Lingshan Foquan, and Wusao's deep understanding of tea ceremony, this taste can't be better."

"When did you learn how to be humble in front of Ai's family?" The queen mother glanced at Jiufu Jin: "This tea is made by Yinzhen to honor Ai's family, and they say it is the top-quality Foquan tea produced here." Jiufujin lowered his head, not daring to look at Min Zhi, Minzhi blinked, bowed and saluted: "Daughter-in-law has heard that Foquan tea is hard to come by. This time, daughter-in-law is lucky."

"Hmph! It's alright, come here and make another pot for Ai's family." Minzhi stood up, Wu Fujin gave her the seat, Minzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, of course she knew that the tea was contributed by Xiaojiu, Of course she has already drank it, but she absolutely cannot admit it in front of the Queen Mother. The things that the Queen Mother uses must be the only ones. She will not be so stupid as Tong Shi at home, who dare to use the tribute level for herself The tea set, it's fine if the queen mother doesn't mind, but if she minds, it's a knot in her heart.

In the afternoon, Kangxi came to pay his respects, and the queen mother left her son to talk, so everyone had a rare time for their own activities.So Xiao Jiu proposed to go and see the scenery in the mountains.Although Minzhi misses her child, she is forced out of the monastery by the cooperation of Jiufujin and Wufujin.The abbot assigned them two young monks as tour guides, and the brothers had their own guards, and Kangxi asked the plainclothes guards around him to escort them all the way.A few people suddenly turned into a large group of people.

Mount Wutai is a holy land of Buddhism. There are many temples in the mountain. Believers climbing up the steps can be seen everywhere on the mountain road, as well as men and women monks wearing monk robes. Those carrying burdens and carrying burdens come and go on the mountain road shaded by ancient trees. .

Minzhi walked along with everyone, visited many places, and was about to go to the legendary writing rock to see if it was true that the handwriting would appear when water was sprinkled on it.But he found a group of nuns carrying buckets down the mountain road.Each bucket was filled with water, and while it was shaking, the water overflowed from the bucket and sprinkled on the ground. Looking up, a section of the mountain road was all wet.Minzhi and the others had no choice but to step aside and wait for them to pass by.

Unexpectedly, at this time, facing the way of the bhikkhuni, several monks wearing gray cloth monk clothes and bamboo hats rushed up quickly with their heads lowered, and they were about to bump into them. The leading nun shouted: "Amitabha!" The head monk just raised his eyes and didn't stop: "Get out of the way!" The nun was stunned, subconsciously turned her body, and the head monk passed her by.

The mountain road is narrow, and Minzhi and the others were already standing close to each other, but now the nun is about to move to the side, and there are signs of being stuck immediately. The guards dutifully stood up to block the masters, but unexpectedly, due to the crowding, one of the nuns behind The monk lowered his head and walked in a hurry without seeing the wooden barrel, and bumped into it. The nun didn't even have time to scream, and she even fell down in the direction of the guard with the barrel. It didn't matter if she was alone, because she fell, the wooden barrel The water was spilled all over the floor, and the nun who was following her slipped and stepped on the shoulder pole, slipped and fell, and the scene was chaotic.

The people who were blocked behind were all covered with water, Minzhi subconsciously reached out to grab Yinhu's sleeve and held his hand: "These monks are weird..." Before he finished speaking, Bai Dao entered, The red knife is out.

Those monks with bamboo hats, each with a dagger on their body, went straight to the back of the royal guards, with a clear goal, they came for the princes!You girls screamed in fright, those "monks" struck mercilessly, pierced the knife directly into the heart of the nun, and then pulled it out. In the blink of an eye, three corpses were left behind.

Yinhu's eyes were sharp and she quickly grabbed Minzhi's hand: "Quick, go up!" Minzhi turned around to pull Jiufujin.Seeing this, Yinzhen hurriedly pulled his wife from behind to the front, and pushed her up: "Hurry up... hurry up. In a hurry, the mountain road became more and more slippery and slippery. With staggering, everyone panicked. The guards and the fake monks were foolishly together, but those fake monks seemed to have been prepared for a long time. The bamboo hats were lifted, revealing pairs of fierce eyes. Under the gray cloth monk robe, the blue and white tattooed skin gradually appeared.

Seeing those tattoos, Minzhi trembled all over, the underworld!The guards had already sent an alarm to the sky when the gangsters had their knives on, but the mountain road was difficult to walk. Up to now, the corpses were lying full, and no one to respond had appeared.Minzhi and the others didn't care about the direction all the way up, they just walked when there was a way, the monks who were the two tour guides had long since disappeared, Minzhi wondered if they were killed by the knife.

Fortunately, each family has its own loyal guards, who protect the master all the way. Minzhi saw one of her own guards following closely, so she couldn't help but say to Yinhu, "You only brought him with you when you came out this time." People?" Yinhu panted, "I brought four, and he is the only one who came out today..." Before the words were finished, there was a sharp whistling sound from behind, as if it was a messenger.The guard looked back and was taken aback: "No, they have accomplices, this road is dangerous!"

Everyone was shocked, but Min Zhi hurriedly said: "Let's go in the middle, be careful of the forest on the side!" He turned his head to his own Zhuang Ding and said, "Blow the assembly whistle!" Zhuang Ding was stunned: "But, it's too far away." Minzhi was out of breath: "This is an order." Zhuang Ding was quick-witted, and immediately took out the bamboo whistle that had been hanging around his neck, and began to blow the rhythm of the assembly whistle that Zhuangzi was used to hearing.
