The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 228 Wan Guo Temple

Although it's Mid-Autumn Festival, the scenery in Wanguo Temple is still charming. However, compared with Qingruan Garden, Wanguo Temple's position on Zifeng Mountain is higher. Therefore, even though Qingruan Garden is like spring all the year round, Wanguo Temple has gradually begun to grow There are some autumn colors.

Ruan Fu was wearing a lotus-colored cloak, and Yu Wujue was holding her waist with one hand, and holding her hand with the other. Wan Guo Temple has been around for half an hour, and I walked from the square in front of the temple to the backyard of Wan Guo Temple.

There is not only one temple outside Yongjia City, but if it is famous and large enough, Xuanci Temple and Wanguo Temple must be the only two of them. However, although Wanguo Temple and Xuanci Temple are similar in size, Xuanci Temple is indeed It was established only after the founding of the country, but the Wanguo Temple is much older than it. It is the bell of this ancient temple. When you hear the bells of this ancient temple, you can feel the meaning of the distance and detachment in the tranquility of thousands of mountains. It is said that the The collection of Buddhist scriptures is a crime in today's world, but Wan Guo Temple doesn't entertain guests very much.

When Ruan Fu just came back to Yongjia, he lived in Xuanci Temple for a while. Compared with the slightly bleak Wanguo Temple, Xuanci Temple is much more lively, and even many pilgrims like to live in Xuanci Temple To show respect for Buddhism.

However, neither Ruan Fu nor Yu Wujue is a Buddhist believer. When the two arrived at Wan Guo Temple, they only took a look at the entrance of the main hall in front of Wan Guo Temple. Puzhao, full of majesty, the two of them only had a little respect in their hearts, and then turned and went to the back of the hall. The Buddha used the Dharma to save all living beings, but they believed even more that it is people who can really save people, not those people. There is nothingness and vastness, and it is impossible to get a glimpse of the actual Dharma.

Strolling at the back of Wan Guo Temple, compared with the slightly solemn appearance in front, the backyard of Wan Guo Temple looks more casual and simple.

Yu Wujue walked beside Ruan Fu. Although Ruan Fu had a big belly, he didn't feel that walking was inconvenient at this time, so it was not a big deal. He just said as he walked, "Wanguo Temple The scenery is really good, I thought I missed the beautiful scenery of summer lotus with green leaves in the sky, this time, I will have some regrets, but I didn't expect that the scenery of autumn lotus is also not inferior."

It's not hard to hear the exclamation in the tone, the two people walked from the temple to the back of the temple, just passed the lotus pond mentioned by Yu Wujue.

Yu Wujue embraced her and walked towards the lotus pond, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and said with a smile, "Xiahe is one of the four seasons' grand sights, and the scene of Xiahe in Wanguo Temple is also famous far and wide. Every summer, There are quite a few people in the city who go all the way to the temple to see it, but they often don’t know that summer lotus is easy to get, and you can see it everywhere, even ordinary people, and there is also a pond in the garden. The summer scenery is that The scene of red lotus is here, but very few people know how to appreciate the color of autumn lotus. Although the summer lotus in Wanguo Temple is prosperous, the autumn lotus is a bit bleak, but when Ruan Er looks at this huge pond, the bleakness of autumn lotus is patchwork. Wouldn't it be more beautiful to have a faint fragrance?"

Ruan Fu shook his head with a smile, turned to look at Yu Wujue with a smile, and said, "Naturally, who can compare with His Highness the Crown Prince's eyesight, and our Crown Prince doesn't like ordinary things in the world, what he likes must be that others don't know how to appreciate them." of elegance."

Yu Wujue said, "Naturally, I have always had a good eye. For example, everyone likes the pink and willow green, but I only like the Spring Magnolia, and it has to be the one I pointed out."

Ruan Fu could understand the meaning of Yu Wujue's words, there are three thousand weak waters in the world, and he only took her one scoop to drink.

She just glanced at him with the corners of her lips bent, with a smile in her eyes, and stopped talking.

Yu Wujue just smiled slightly, and after saying this, it was as if she had never made such a confession, but the mingling of the eyes of the two gave them more warmth.

After walking a few steps along the pond, Yu Wujue stopped Ruan Fu from going any further, "Wanguo Temple is no better than Qingruan Garden, the humidity by the pond is too heavy, let's go to another place to avoid catching cold."

Ruan Fu was a little helpless for his over-cautiousness, but he did not refute it, and walked back according to his intention. Around the pond, many pillars were erected, or many large and small stones were placed. When Fu returned, he found that there were many poems engraved on these large and small stones and pillars. All he chanted were the scenery of Wanguo Temple, and the scenery of lotus pond was not uncommon. , and the time left by the inscription, it is found that some of them are already from the Great Wei Dynasty in the previous dynasty.

Yu Wujue explained, "Wanguo Temple has existed for hundreds of years. It was built on Zifeng Mountain before the Central Plains were divided. As for the first generation of Wanguo Temple, it is impossible to trace who it is. The monks from all over the world, when he traveled to Zifeng Mountain, saw the pleasant scenery here, so he climbed up and looked far away. It is said that the deep practice of Buddhism was only in a cave on Zifeng Mountain at the beginning. Later, the number of people gradually increased, and the Wanguo Temple was built. Up to now, the cave is still in the Wanguo Temple and has become the holy place of the Wanguo Temple. "

Ruan Fu nodded, "I have heard a little bit about this period of history. The Wanguo Temple is different from other monasteries. The monks here only concentrate on studying Buddhism, and the spread of Buddhism in the Central Plains also came from here. There was such a big disturbance in the later period, but the Wanguo Temple has always lived in Zifeng Mountain. Afterwards, many people in the Central Plains either retreated, exiled, or converted to Buddhism during the war. The Flying Tiger General of the dynasty, when the Wei Dynasty was subjugated, he fought to Zifeng Mountain for a generation, and could not accept the split of the Central Plains. Later, he retired in Zifeng Mountain and became the closed disciple of the master at that time. However, there is another theory that he is actually Flying Tiger General. Buried in Zifeng Mountain, the folks respected this commoner who fought in all directions, and could not accept the news of his death, so there is such a saying."

Yu Wujue nodded and said, "Whether General Feihu really took refuge on Zifeng Mountain is still unclear, and people who escaped into Wanguo Temple often forget the name of the layman, and there is no record. Even if they ask, I'm afraid they can only get Come up with more fantasies, but I think the possibility of General Feihu returning to hermitage is very small, and it is true that he has really stayed in Wanguo Temple for a while."

Ruan Fu sighed, his tone changed but relaxed, "I also think that General Feihu is not like a person who converted to Buddhism, that kind of person."

The former Flying Tiger General who was mentioned suddenly stopped here.

Yu Wujue embraced her and continued, "Wanguo Temple and Xuanci Temple are indeed different. They are also two famous temples outside Yongjia City. Xuanci Temple has many pilgrims, while Wanguo Temple is empty. As for entertaining many guests, the monks in Wan Guo Temple are obsessed with studying Buddhism every day, and they all say that the monks are all greedy, angry and ignorant. In my opinion, all the monks in Wan Guo Temple have violated the same commandment, ignorance. "

Isn't it crazy? I'm crazy about studying Buddhism.

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Is it reasonable for you to say that in other people's temples?"

Yu Wujue smiled nonchalantly, "It was once recorded that the monks from Wanguo Temple traveled as far as Western Tianzhu in search of Buddhism, and it was even recorded that monks from the East China Sea once crossed the sea to discuss Buddhism with the monks of Wanguo Temple , However, the specifics are not known, these have not been recorded in the official history, and there is no way to pursue them."

Ruan Fu found it interesting, "The land of Western Tianzhu is a place further west from Jiaozhi to the west. I have seen a fragment of a copy in the collection of the Hanlin Academy of the Nanhua royal family before. It records the appearance of some people from outside the region. It is said that they are all blond and blue-eyed, which is quite different from us, which is interesting."

She naturally talked to Yu Wujue about the past life, Yu Wujue just looked down at her eyes with interest, and said, "If you are interested in these things, I think there will be some such monsters in the Imperial Academy books, I will ask someone to collect them for you?"

Ruan Fu smiled and shook his head, "I can't say I'm interested, I just mentioned it suddenly and remembered it. However, this Wanguo Temple is really mysterious. It is said that the current presiding master is a hundred years old, with white hair and white beard. Very few people get to see it."

Yu Wujue raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to see Ruan'er?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "We are all people who have nothing to do with the Dharma, and it was just abrupt to meet the master, not to mention that today is just a walk, you can just walk around this temple with me, and have a meal. Fast food, let's go back."

Yu Wujue agreed with a smile, but he didn't force it.

Ruan Fu suddenly stopped facing a stone that had been eroded by wind and rain for a long time. Seeing her like this, Yu Wujue glanced at the stone, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Fu stared at the stone and said, "The thin figure is not ashamed, and the light fragrance is far away, who wants it? It's unbearable in the midst of emerald green and red, and it's in the cold of the river. I want to spend the whole night in a green house, but I don't know the white dew." The autumn wind is already here. The aging eyes are still there, don’t put the boat on the boat and the wine will be empty.”

What she read was a poem engraved on a stone. The end of the poem was not titled like other poems, nor did it leave a date, but Kay could tell that the inscription was far away, even a few years ago. It has been shone by the wind and rain, and although the handwriting is recognizable, some strokes have been worn away. It is the only one among the surrounding poems that does not have a date or a name.

Yu Wujue glanced at it and said, "Things have changed, everything is empty, living in seclusion but feeling lonely, dispatching alone, although it is bearish and empty, this person is also a helpless person with unfulfilled ambitions and the passing of youth. .The career has not been completed, but unfortunately time is not waiting for me."

Hearing this, Ruan Fu sighed softly, and exchanged a glance with Yu Wujue, and the two of them turned their heads together to look at this long-standing, unnamed poem, which was quite different from the surrounding poems that simply chanted lotus. Indeed no more words.

In front was a small pavilion, Yu Wujue led Ruan Fu in, and said, "Walk for a while, let's take a rest first."

Ruan Fu was actually not tired, but he didn't refuse, the two entered the gazebo, Yu Wujue took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and put it on the stone bench in the pavilion, to prevent the stone bench from getting too cold and make Ruan Fu feel uncomfortable. Then he led Ruan Fu to sit down.

Ruan Fu looked around the gazebo, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Yu Wujue looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Do you still remember drinking tea in our temple in Xuanci Temple?"

Recalling the past, a smile appeared on Yu Wujue's lips, "Naturally I remember." Looking at the layout of the pavilion, Yu Wujue said, "Unfortunately, there is a pot of tea missing today, and Xuan Xuan is also missing. Mengding nectar from Ci Temple."

Ruan Fu propped his chin up, looked at Yu Wujue with a smile, "Wujue, you didn't set foot in Xuanci Temple because of the nectar from Xuanci Temple, but because of me."

Yu Wujue didn't deny it either, "What did Ruan'er want to say?"

Ruan Fu smiled and shook his head.

Recalling the past, Yu Wujue sighed more in his heart, and said, "Meeting you at Yuqiao should be the first time we met after you returned to Yongjia. At that time, because of Mr. Gongsun's chess game, I only felt Your speech is not the same as that of ordinary boudoir girls, after experiencing wind and rain, fighting and hiding in the cave, I think you are very courageous."

Yu Wujue recalled while talking, Ruan Fu supported his chin and listened to him, "And then?"

"Then I went back and asked someone to check you." Yu Wujue glanced at her, thinking of many things before Ruan Fu's identity was revealed, and felt that the memories were extremely precious, "But after checking, I encountered some obstacles. Although I don't know when there are more people like you in Yongjia City who can escape my investigation, and although I don't see any unkind actions by you, I don't feel at ease in my heart, thinking about when Ruan Song's daughter has such abilities. However, since you stopped me, I will not continue to investigate. Since you dare to stop me, I think you are not afraid of showing your strength, so I want to wait and see." Yu Wujue shook his head with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and tapped the tip of Ruan Fu's nose, and continued, "How could I know that Meng Changqing, a famous scholar in the world, has such a changeable identity, stirring up the situation in Yongjia City under my nose."

Ruan Fu smiled brightly, with some pride in his eyes, "I want to see when King Jin, who is the most intelligent man in the world, will discover my existence."

Yu Wujue raised his eyebrows, "Then did I disappoint you?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "If you really insist on investigating, you don't have to wait until you go to Xiao Yushan, you will probably find out. This is probably the reason why I didn't dare to appear in front of you openly before, although I haven't tried it before. But I feel that once Meng Changqing appears in front of you, even the reason for this person's appearance will be completely peeped by you, and you don't know where the guilty conscience comes from."

Yu Wujue said, "I have been waiting for you for many years. If you show up, I will find you sooner. There will be no such long wait between you and me."

"Wu Jue..."

Yu Wujue stroked her cheek with a smile and said, "However, I am willing to wait as long as I want, as long as you show up, Ruan'er, a person's eyes are the easiest to reveal the truest self, I have been in your eyes Seeing myself makes me believe and dare to doubt, and I don't know what would have happened otherwise."

I don't know, if I saw that familiar figure from Ruan Fu's body, but in the end it was confirmed that Ruan Fu was just Ruan Fu and had nothing to do with the people deep in his heart, and he didn't know how to treat his own heart, so, Perhaps he would only think that he had blasphemed that person.

"I know..." Ruan Fu smiled, but when he thought of the past, he couldn't help feeling a little bit more embarrassed, "Wu Jue, you know, that day when we were drinking tea in the gazebo of Xuanci Temple, talking about Meng Ruan, I already Treating you as the only confidant in this life, I was thinking at that time, just based on your words that day, I will definitely follow behind you in this life and help you complete your great cause."

Because of Ruan Fu's words, Yu Wujue's Heart Lake was like throwing a small stone, causing ripples and circles, his eyes gradually darkened, but he said calmly, "Help me complete my great cause, and then what?"

Ruan Fu was startled, and then arrived, "This question is really something I have never thought about before."

Yu Wujue sighed lightly, and said, "You won't say something to coax me?"

When she is honest, she may not be so honest, but at this moment she is full of sincerity.

Ruan Fu smiled and blinked, Yu Wujue sighed, "Fortunately, I recognized you, otherwise where would I find you in this life?"

While the two were talking, an old but clear voice came from outside the pavilion, "Amitabha, the crown prince and princess concubine are here, and I am at a loss to welcome you."

Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu both stood up when they heard the voice. When they looked out of the pavilion, they saw a white-haired and bearded master standing not far away. The master was holding a Buddhist bead and dressed plainly. The gray robe worn by ordinary monks is just that the beads in his hands are nearly half the size of a newborn baby's fist, and it is probably due to years of chanting and twisting beads, which have turned black and bright. Although the master is old He has white hair and beard, but he looks hale and hearty.

Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue looked at each other, walked out of the gazebo, and walked towards the big event, "Master."

The master looked at the two benevolently, Yu Wujue said, "Your Majesty canonized the crown prince not long ago. I heard that the monks in Wanguo Temple are obsessed with Buddhism. I don't want the master to know about this."

The master nodded slightly and said, "Everything between the heaven and the earth has a predestined relationship. His Royal Highness's delivery has arrived, and the lunch box has arrived. However, monks should refrain from greed, anger and ignorance. Wan Guo Temple studies Buddhism only to carry forward the Buddha Dharma. There is no greed, hatred, ignorance and delusions."

The master seemed to be aware of Yu Wujue's conversation with Ruan Fu, and although his tone was calm, he said such a sentence.

Ruan Fu chuckled in his heart, glanced at Yu Wujue, but found that Yu Wujue didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught, so he couldn't help laughing, "Master, don't misunderstand, the prince has no other intentions."

The master recited a Buddhist gatha very tolerantly, but didn't say anything.

Yu Wujue curled his lips into a smile, and said, "Dare to ask Master, but Wan Guo Temple is the host?"

Ruan Fu looked at the ordinary monks in front of him with a little surprise. The clothes of the people in the temple are exquisite, even a place like Wan Guo Temple is no exception. If it is the presiding officer, it must be covered with golden cassock. How could it be so? ...such a plain gray robe?
Seeing that Yu Wujue recognized him, the master just nodded with a smile, "His Royal Highness is indeed very wise."

Yu Wujue smiled and said, "In the Wan Guo Temple today, there are only a few people who can have the cultivation level of a master, and even if they are such an elderly person, if it is not for the Wan Guo Temple to preside over it, I don't know who else I can think of. "

The master smiled slightly, but suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Yu Wujue. When Yu Wujue saw the master making a move, he had already reacted, but he didn't want the master to move very fast. Just at such a moment when the master made a move, the palm of his hand changed into an invisible, It made it difficult for him to distinguish between the real and the fake, and before he could resist, he felt his wrist was grabbed.

He resisted subconsciously, but in the future, he felt a stream of fine internal force being drawn into his body from the meridian of the meridian wrist, like a stream flowing into the ocean. The crux of the problem, as if finding the most suitable medicine, can be repaired, and the closed meridians and acupoints of the whole body are like being opened up by an expert.Just like the dry land is soaked by the spring rain, the meaning of smoothness gradually rises.

Ruan Fu watched from the side, he was a little anxious at the beginning, but he saw that Yu Wujue's other hand, which did not forget to protect him, gradually relaxed, and only held her gently, with a trace of comfort, and then looked at the master and her hand. Yu Wujue's expression gradually became relieved.

After feeling for about a quarter of an hour, the master let go of Yu Wujue's pulse wrist, and said, "The prince has been seriously injured, and his skill has never reached the perfect level. If this goes on for a long time and ignores the consequences, I'm afraid that one day he will go crazy."

When Ruan Fu heard this, he grabbed Yu Wujue's arm suddenly.

Yu Wujue was told by the master how powerful he was, so he had no choice but to pat Ruan Fu's hand lightly to show comfort.

Ruan Fu bit his lip and looked at him, Yu Wujue said, "Thank you Master, I will remember."

The master nodded with a smile, and took off the beads hanging on his wrist, "Since I have a destiny with the prince and princess today, I will give this string of beads to the two, and I hope that the Buddha can protect the unborn children in their womb to be safe and healthy." , to protect the people of the world."

After all, the master had already taken off the prayer beads on his wrist and put them in front of Ruan Fu.

Ruan Fu was a little surprised, but he didn't reach out to take it.

But seeing the kindness of the master, he just looked at her with a smile, as if an elder watched a junior come to get a gift.

Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue looked at each other, but still took it hesitantly, "Thank you, Master."

The master smiled slightly and said, "The two of you are predestined with my Buddha, and it is my Buddha's destiny to give you two prayer beads. Today, the old monk just gave an intermediate testimony. I hope you two will cherish it, and I hope that if there is chaos in the world in the future, the two will be together again." You should take pity on the suffering of the people."

Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue looked at each other, although they still had many doubts about the master's words in their hearts, they still solemnly agreed.

The master nodded and passed, but said no more, and said goodbye to Yu Wujue and Ruan Fu.
