His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 149 Master Mingyuan
After lunch and nap,
Qin Ao and Chen Fulin went to pay a visit to Master Mingyuan.

"Please, two benefactors."

Strange to say, only Dongming Mountain is still lush with greenery on the mountain in this season.

There is no road ahead, and the two of them can only meander along with the monk who leads the way. If you look down from the sky, you can see that every step they take is hidden in mystery.

The monk who led the way led them out of the forest, and there was a cliff in front of them.

A monk in dusty robes sat cross-legged facing the cliff ahead.

Live in a hut.

This is the one who said it.

The simple thatched cottage on the right is Master Mingyuan's residence.

Not far away, close to the forest, there is a smaller thatched cottage, which is the site of Master Ku Yun.

He opened a small piece of land next to him to grow vegetables.

What Chen Fulin also knew was that under the cliff, there was another cave, which was the retreat place of Master Mingyuan.

When not in retreat, Master Mingyuan often sits here to meditate.

"Amitabha, Master Uncle, we have a visitor."

The guiding monk clasped his hands together and bowed to the man.

Master Mingyuan stood up when he heard the sound, turned around and said to the two of them with a friendly face:

"Amitabha, the two benefactors, the poor monk is polite."

"Master Mingyuan."

"Grandmaster."

Qin Ao and Qin Ao also saluted in pairs.

"Two benefactors, please sit here."

Master Mingyuan pointed to his residence. It turned out that there was a stone table and bench outside the thatched house.

The monk leading the way had already left, and after they sat down, Master Ku Yun appeared out of nowhere and brought a small teapot to serve them tea.

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Chen Fulin winked quietly at Ku Yun:
Master Kuyun, long time no see!
Ku Yun had a dull face, but when he saw her, he couldn't help but move his eyes slightly.

no good no see!

Ku Yun complained in his heart.

Master Mingyuan stared at the pair of bi people sitting in front of him for a moment, then smiled at His Highness the Crown Prince:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and the demeanor of Qin's benefactor is even better than before."

The last time he saw this person was five years ago, he should have been like a trapped beast, the dragon aura slowly dissipated, and the dynasty finally declined.

nowadays……

"The situation of the benefactor's trapped beast has been resolved, and now there is a faint appearance of purple energy coming from the east, and the future can be expected."

The dragon spirit on his body became more and more obvious.

Qin Ao picked up his teacup and respected: "Let's borrow a good word from Master today."

The trap of the beast.

He thought about his own situation two years ago. In the past, there was the emperor's younger brother who was eyeing him, and the aristocratic family suppressed him. Later, there was the inner disaster. If he was not careful, there was nothing left.

Isn't it just like a trapped beast?
And break the game...

He glanced at the person beside him, and heard Master Mingyuan say:

"Amitabha, how is the little benefactor?"

Compared with the serious tone when speaking to His Royal Highness, Master Mingyuan and Chen Fulin's voices are obviously different.

Like an elder talking to a younger generation, kind and kind.

Qin Ao's eyes flickered, he picked up the tea and savored it carefully, without disturbing the two of them.

Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family believe in Buddhism, and they have to go to Dongming Temple to donate a sum of incense money in person every month.

When the old lady got older, her mother and sister-in-law often came.

She followed her mother to Dongming Mountain since she was a child, and she even went here by mistake when she was young.

I still remember that there was light rain that day, Master Mingyuan sat cross-legged here, maybe she had always had a good impression of the bald monk, and when she suddenly saw such a quiet and weird person, she just worried and asked him why he didn't avoid it when it rained rain.

Master Mingyuan said: "In the world, wind, frost, rain and snow are all gifts."

That was the first time she met Master Mingyuan.

From then on, every time Master Mingyuan left the customs, she would also come to Dongming Temple, not for any other reason, but for Master Ku Yun's superb culinary skills that turned decay into magic!

At this time, Master Mingyuan didn't seem to have changed much compared to ten years ago.

Pulling away from the memory, Chen Fulin replied: "Master Lao is concerned, I am naturally everything is fine, but I heard that you are going to travel far after you leave the customs, but is it true?"

Master Mingyuan said with a smile: "It is true. A year later, the Living Buddha of Hinayana Buddhism in Tianzhu will hold a conference on Buddhism. I have not been able to complete my hard work in recent years, so I thought I couldn't find it here. Maybe it is on the way. There it is."

Chen Fulin: "Master is transparent. Although reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, Tianzhu is far away from Dajingtian. Does Master have any arrangements for this trip?"

Master Mingyuan practices sitting meditation in the bitter meditation, and often retreats to realize the Buddha, but for so many years, his footprints have spread all over every corner of Dajing.

As we all know, every time Master Mingyuan travels, he only takes Master Kuyun with him.

"Amitabha, it's enough for me to have bitter clouds, if you can't even resist the bitter clouds, it's fate."

Chen Fulin followed suit and nodded: "Master, you are right."

As Master Mingyuan's only three apprentices, Master Ku Yun is the only one who has the talent to inherit the "Culinary Classic", and he is also the one with the highest attainments in martial arts.

So taking Master Kuyun with you is equivalent to bringing the cook and guards with you.

Qin Ao said at this time: "Master is going to Tianzhu? Then I can arrange for Liangzhou Army to escort you out of the customs."

The Hu people gathered in the northern part of Liangzhou, and wars broke out frequently. Even with the official certificate, it was not so easy to get out of the customs. Naturally, Master Mingyuan would not refuse: "Then there will be a benefactor."

The two sat here for half a day, discussing Buddhism with Master Mingyuan.

What surprised Qin Ao was that this man, with such a cheerful personality, had the patience to read so many Buddhist scriptures?

She and Master Mingyuan came and went, and the content of a sentence of Buddhist scriptures came out of her mouth. Discussions with the master were also penetrating and penetrating.

Seeing the doubts on his face, Master Mingyuan explained: "Don't be surprised, Donor Qin. This little benefactor has been reading Buddhist scriptures since he was five years old. Dongming Temple has a collection of [-] volumes, and more than half of the little benefactors have read them."

"The little benefactor has an exquisite mind, and has his own views on the meaning of Buddhism and Taoism. If it weren't for the opportunity, the old monk would still want to accept her as a disciple of the layman. ..."

Master Mingyuan said she seemed to be another person, but Qin Ao actually had a feeling of "so it was so" in his heart.

When they left, Master Mingyuan said to the prince: "Amitabha, benefactor, I have a message."

Qin Ao looked humble: "Master, please tell me."

"All living beings have all forms, and all forms are born with each other. The Buddha does not know the goodness of this world, and even kindness and good eyes can't save the body from water and fire. Everything can be done from the heart."

Qin Ao's eyes suddenly darkened, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you, master."

The two bid farewell to Master Mingyuan and returned to Tinglan Pavilion.

"Your Highness, can we go to the Hot Spring Villa now?"

At this time, Chen Fulin no longer had the earnestness and piety that she had when discussing Buddhism with Master Mingyuan. All she was thinking about was the hot spring she wanted to soak in.

Qin Ao rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Naturally."
