I have a roll of fairy pictures

Chapter 110 The Buddhist Temple
"That's right! Huo Taixian and Nanxi have a huge gap in terms of status and talent. They are not compatible at all, and there is no comparison. Only when Ji Gongdan opens his mouth can the Emperor Zhou agree to this marriage." Murong Qiupai Palm:

"Leave this to me."

"If the two parties really make a marriage contract, then it will be interesting." Murong Di stood up immediately after speaking:
"I'll go to the library right now and ask Uncle Huang."

Great Zhou Library

Ji Gongdan lowered his head and looked at the scroll in his hand, his face was extremely gloomy: "It's a big trouble!"

His picture scroll is an atlas, and it stands to reason that if one scroll is lost, he should be able to easily make up for it, but who knows that he has been in seclusion for a long time, and no matter what, he will never be able to retrieve Pengtu's Daoyun.

It was as if that scroll of his natal chart had never appeared in the world at all.

"Duke Zhou, the empress Murong Di has something urgent to see." A guard's voice came from downstairs.

"Murong Di? What is he doing here?" Ji Gongdan was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Please come up."

But seeing Murong Di coming from downstairs, and seeing Ji Gongdan sitting in front of the drawing board, he couldn't help smiling, and saluted with both hands:
"I've seen big brother."

"The empress do not hesitate to ask if you have anything to do, the whole family should not be courteous." Ji Gongdan looked at Murong Di.

"I came here today because I want to discuss something with my elder brother." Murong Di smiled.

"..."

"What did you say? Want Nanxi to marry Huo Taixian?" Ji Gongdan couldn't help but be surprised after hearing Murong Di's words.

"Huo Taixian has kindness to Eldest Brother. Marrying Princess Nanxi to her is also considered to win favor. After all, Eldest Brother had an unhappy fight with Huo Taixian because of the Southwest Marquis. If you give him the most precious pearl of the royal family, it will also be seen. Big brother's heart." Murong Di is worthy of being Murong Di, a woman from a small family can ascend to the throne of queen, she is by no means a simple person.

At this time, he hit the vital point directly and hit Ji Gongdan's Achilles heel.

Ji Gongdan fell into silence when he heard the words, and said after a long time: "I will tell you this matter myself. It's just where is Nanxi, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

"Born in the Tian family, enjoying all the resources of the royal family, this is her destiny." Murong Qiu looked at Ji Gongdan.

Ji Gongdan laughed and put down his paintbrush: "That's the reason. I don't think that Huo Taixian is definitely not a thing in the pool. It will definitely soar into the sky in the future. Although it looks mediocre now, it will definitely develop in the future. It matches Nanxi." .”

Ji Gongdan walked out of the library, went all the way to the inner deep palace, and entered the bedroom of Emperor Zhou.

"Why does Big Brother have time to come to my place?" Zhou Tianzi looked at Ji Gongdan who walked in, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"I have seen the king." Ji Gongdan bowed.

"Brother, are you still being polite to me?" Zhou Tianzi said angrily.

"Etiquette cannot be discarded." Ji Gongdan looked serious.

Zhou Tianzi had no choice but to say, "What's the matter, brother, just talk about it."

"Brother Chen has something to ask." Ji Gongdan looked at Emperor Zhou.

"..."

"What? You want to match Princess Nanxi and Huo Taixian? That stupid son of the official servant Huo Jia's family? The one who gave up his title?" Zhou Tianzi's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Princess Nanxi will marry sooner or later. I think the Huo family is just right. Princess Nanxi can overwhelm Huo Taixian. In the future, she will always be Princess Nanxi of my Great Zhou royal family. If she marries a strong husband Home, the water splashed by the married daughter, whose surname will I have to say in the future!" Ji Gongdan said:
"The Huo family is the founding meritorious service of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In order to curb the general situation of the young master Xiaobai, it was all thanks to Huo Jia's efforts to abduct the daughter of the young master Xiaobai. Otherwise, at this time, there is no one in Qi who can check and balance. With Duke Huan of Qi In comparison, although the Southwest Hou is a confidant's serious trouble, it is nothing but a disease that can be cured with a snap of the fingers."

"The heritage of the Huo family should not be underestimated. It has a heritage of 8000 years. I heard that during the Great Xia Dynasty, the Huo family was even more powerful, and there were many myths. The ancestor god of the Huo family can be traced back to the time when the world was created." Ji Gongdan said seriously Looking at Zhou Tianzi.

Zhou Tianzi was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and said after a while: "This matter is approved by the king. The marriage will be granted in three days."

Outside the Landa Temple
Huo Taixian stood on the slightly old and dilapidated stone platform, and some Buddhist disciples were quietly cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground.

The Buddhist temple is old, the gate is faded, and the walls are weather-beaten with potholes, giving you a sense of dilapidation.

A gray-robed monk was holding a broom and lowered his head to clean the fallen leaves on the tree. At this moment, he noticed someone approaching, so he quickly raised his head and bowed:
"Infinite Buddha, is this benefactor coming here to burn incense or do something?"

"I am the son of Huo Jia, the servant of the Ministry of Officials in Kyoto. I want to ask to see the abbot of this temple. This is my document and letter." Huo Taixian took out the seal and document that Huo Jia gave him before leaving from his sleeve, and handed it to the little novice:

"I'll trouble you to pass it on."

"Young Master, later!" The little novice took the document, glanced at it, and ran to the temple, returned after a while, and respectfully said to Huo Taixian:

"Young master, please come in. My abbot is waiting for you in the Zen room in the backyard."

Huo Taixian bowed, followed the little novice into the backyard, came outside a Zen room, and saw the little novice saluting outside:
"Abbot, people have already arrived."

"Please come in." An old voice came from inside the room.

Huo Taixian entered the room, but saw that the room was empty, without any decorations, only a futon.

A skinny old monk sat on the futon.

Although the old monk is old, his eyes are clear and bright, with a kind of indestructible taste.

"I've met the abbot." Huo Taixian quickly stepped forward to salute.

The abbot grinned, looked at Huo Taixian, and then moved his palm, and the seal and letter in Huo Taixian's hand had already fallen into his hands.

After opening the letter and looking at it, he couldn't help but nodded: "So it's that kid from the Huo family. Your father said that he wanted you to worship Buddhism, would you be willing?"

"Huh?" Huo Taixian was taken aback when he heard the words. When he came, his father didn't tell him to worship Buddhism, did he?
"Can Buddhism prohibit alcohol and meat?" Huo Taixian asked.

"Only killing is forbidden, not alcohol and meat," said the old monk.

Huo Taixian was puzzled, since killing is forbidden, why can't alcohol and meat be forbidden?
"When you go to buy beef, the cow is not killed for me, but for all living beings. If you don't get karma or karma, you can't help it." The old monk explained.

"Disciple understands!" Huo Taixian was stunned.

"Can women be banned?" Huo Taixian asked again.

The old monk shook his head: "It's not evil, I can't help it!"

Huo Taixian smiled: "Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if the disciple worships Buddhism."

The old monk smiled: "It's not easy to be a teacher. You need to break through thousands of volumes of scriptures and comprehend the meaning of Buddhist scriptures before you can paint a scroll of my Buddhism."

"Wonderful words." The old monk said.

"Master." The novice outside the door said.

"Take him to stay. When you have read the three hundred volumes of the "Prajna Paramita" sutra, come see me again." The old monk ordered.

The little novice led Huo Taixian back.

"Senior Brother Huo, are you here from outside?" The little monk was very young, cute and handsome, only about four or five years old, walking in front of Huo Taixian at this time, couldn't help but turned his head and asked quietly.

Huo Taixian looked at the little novice's bald head, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to stroke it. The little novice was so shocked that he looked like a frightened rabbit, his face flushed red, and he stumbled: "Huo Taixian Brother, the master said that a man and a woman cannot kiss each other."

"Are you a woman?" Huo Taixian said.

"En." The little novice nodded, then lowered his head.

"Do you still have female nuns in your monastery? Men and women live together?" Huo Taixian asked curiously.

"I used to work in Jingyue Nunnery, but later Jingyue Nunnery was turned into a painting academy. We, a group of nuns, had nowhere to go, so we had to come to Landa Monastery. The abbot said that 'male' and 'female' are just a kind of relative. That's all."

Huo Taixian was silent when he heard the words, the life of Buddhism is really difficult, even the living place has been taken away, and men and women have to live together, which shows how bad life is.

Huo Taixian put his hands in his sleeves, raised his head to look at the distant sky, and followed the little monk with a lot of thoughts.

"Brother, are you from outside?" the little novice asked angrily again.

"En!" Huo Taixian nodded.

"I heard that it's very lively outside. There are many beautiful silks and satins, all kinds of rouge and gouache, and a lot of delicious food. There are all kinds of people." The little nun's eyes widened.

Huo Taixian laughed and said nothing when he heard the words, but at this moment he suddenly remembered the Buddhist mantra of his previous life: becoming a monk is just a form, and some people are in the temple and in the world of mortals.But some people are in the world of mortals, in temples.

Being a monk is not about where you are, but where your heart is.

Huo Taixian's meditation room is in the backyard. It is a dilapidated but clean room. There is only one bed and some futons in the room.

The little novice arranged for Huo Taixian, moved a pile of scriptures and put them in Huo Taixian's room.

Looking at the scriptures in his hands, it is quite different from the previous life, but there is also some mystery.

Countless thoughts circulated in Huo Taixian's mind, and he relished reading the Buddhist scriptures in his hand.

Third day

Huo Taixian was reading the scriptures in the yard, suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in Huo Taixian's ears, the footsteps came from far to near, and came to Huo Taixian's body, and then the gate of the yard was pushed open, and the little monk was seen He went straight in and said, "Senior Brother Huo, a female Bodhisattva is looking for you outside the door."

"Female Bodhisattva?" Huo Taixian looked at the little monk.

"It looks like a fairy in the painting, isn't it a female Bodhisattva?" The eyes of the little novice were full of obsession:
"If only I could look so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in the world!" The little novice stared wide-eyed.

Huo Taixian became more and more curious, and walked out with a book.

"By the way, what's your name?" Huo Taixian looked at the little monk.

"My name is Miaoyu! Amitabha!" The little novice put his palms together quickly, and introduced a sentence to Huo Taixian solemnly.

"I've seen Mrs. Whispering Words." Huo Taixian also bowed respectfully.

Seeing this witty remark, she lowered her head and grinned to her ears: it was the first time someone respected her so solemnly.
