Chapter 398 Jade Buddha Temple

The Jade Buddha Temple is a thousand-year-old temple.

Incense is extremely strong in Yujing City.

It’s just that it’s snowing heavily today, and the evening is approaching, the pilgrims don’t come many, and they have already gone back, so the two vermilion gates on the brick-red wall of the Jade Buddha Temple are closed earlier than before.

now.

On the wide square outside the vermilion gate, two Taoist priests came.

Master Qingfeng looked to the left and then to the left, his face full of envy.

He stroked those two mustaches, and said to his closed disciple, Taoist Wuwei:

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, there are four Vajras on the left and right in the welcome square!"

"Look at this door again, it's half as high as our Taiyi door!"

"Even the lanterns are much more numerous and brighter than ours!"

"Well, the pair of dragon elephants in front of the door..."

"Mighty!"

"It's all carved from white marble and inlaid with gold!"

"Prestige!"

The little Taoist Wuwei looked up and asked suddenly: "Master, let's dig out the inlaid gold and sell it, maybe we can exchange it for some money."

"...It makes sense!"

The old Taoist priest Qingfeng flew up and landed on the head of the tall giant elephant. He was really in Kou, but he fell down again after a while.

"I bother!"

"Vald donkeys, they are all liars!"

The little Taoist priest Wuwei looked puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"Fake! It's just brass!"

"Well, if it's real gold, I'm afraid I'll send people to guard it day and night."

The old Taoist Qingfeng glared at the little Taoist Wuwei, "Go, knock on the door!"

The little Taoist priest Wuwei walked over, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the door knocker.

"Bang bang bang...!"

He knocked hard on the door knocker!
……

……

There is an independent elegant courtyard in the backyard of the Jade Buddha Temple.

Living in this small courtyard is Master Pukong, the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple.

In a meditation room in this small courtyard, there is a stick of sandalwood incense, and there is a waft of tea fragrance.

Master Pukong sat in front of the tea table, picked up the pot of well-boiled tea, and poured a cup for the fat man sitting opposite.

"Autumn Rhyme of the Yue Kingdom, although some seasons have passed, the heat has faded away, and the taste is more mellow."

"This one was just delivered today, Mr. Wen, please try it!"

He is Wen Zhuyu!
I'm afraid no two people know that he is in this Jade Buddha Temple!
Wen Zhuyu took the teacup, squinted his eyes slightly and sniffed, a fresh smell came to his nostrils.

“Good tea!”

"Familiar taste!"

He took a sip, swirled the tea in his mouth, swallowed it slowly, and felt his mouth full of fragrance.

He put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Back then in the City of Four Winds, Master Huang, the imperial chef, prepared Jiuzhen foie gras by himself, and one of the seasonings was this autumn rhyme."

"Yueshan Autumn Rhyme, the annual production is no more than a hundred catties, all of which are tributes to the royal family, Master, it seems that the Emperor Yue still misses you!"

Master Pukong stroked his white beard and smiled slightly, "It's not from the emperor."

"Oh...? Let me guess... Fourth Prince Zhao Miao?"

"Exactly, hey... the matter of the Yue country can't be hidden from Mr.'s eyes."

Wen Zhuyu pondered for a moment, "Master, just drink tea with peace of mind. The Emperor Yue is alive and well, the Crown Prince sits firmly in the East Palace, and the Fourth Prince brings you tea... He is thinking too much."

Master Pukong poured another cup of tea for Wen Zhuyu, but his expression became serious.

"Not necessarily!"

Wen Zhuyu leaned over, and looked curiously at Master Pukong's old red face, "I haven't been to Yue Kingdom for nearly ten years, and I haven't paid attention to the news of Yue Kingdom these days, what's the matter? The Fourth Prince still deserves favor? "

Putting down the teapot, Pukong sighed: "It's easy to say."

"Yue Kingdom Zen sect split into two 500 years ago, and now the two largest temples are Donglin Temple and Xilin Temple, as you know."

"In the past hundred years, the abbot of Donglin Temple has always been the great master protecting the country of Yue State, so Donglin Temple has always been the state religion of Yue State."

"Until 30 years ago, after the Nine-Deng Monk came out of Xilin Temple, he defeated the abbot of Donglin Temple, and won the title of Grand Master Protecting the Nation in one fell swoop, and Xilin Temple became the orthodox state religion of Yue State."

"Of course Monk Jiudeng supports the crown prince conferred by the emperor. All of this should be a logical completion of the inheritance of the throne in the near future, but..."

"Wu Xichen went to Yue Kingdom to fight Monk Jiudeng."

"Although Wu Xichen died in battle, Monk Jiudeng was seriously injured by Wu Xichen's sword... Wu Xichen did not use the unique sword, but a sword that is said to be called Zhanlu."

"This sword is extremely sharp."

"This sword was left in Yue State because of Wu Xichen's death. Its forging process is extremely complicated. It is said that this sword was sent to Tianyin Pavilion and handed over to Tong Fusheng, the master swordsmith of Tianyin Pavilion."

"Monk Jiudeng was seriously injured, and Xilin Temple's suppression of Donglin Temple ceased to exist... Monk Jiudeng's closed disciple didn't read the Dharma name. He was sent by Monk Jiudeng to Wu to send Wu Xichen's ashes back to the country. During that time, Donglin Temple launched a huge attack on Xilin Temple!"

"More than [-] monks from Xilin Temple died in that battle!"

"Great Monk Ji Jue, the contemporary abbot of Donglin Temple, annexed Xilin Temple, and the East and West are now collectively called Zen Buddhism, which has been bestowed with a golden plate by the emperor, and has become the only state religion."

"But there is no harmony between the great monk Jijue and the prince."

"You know that the inheritance of the Yue Kingdom's throne is not just an edict to pass on the throne, but also needs to be baptized by the Grand Master of the State Religion and Protector of the Country."

"Now the fourth prince entrusts someone to deliver tea to the old monk. It has a long taste!"

Wen Zhuyu listened carefully, frowned slightly, and asked: "Emperor Yue is not old-fashioned, how could he allow the two monasteries to kill each other?"

"The emperor, he has been ill in bed for more than two months!"

Wen Zhuyu was startled, and sat up straight, "So I ask you to entrust someone to send the letter to Emperor Yue, asking the State of Yue to send troops to Xigu City to put pressure on Ning State, and help Li Chen'an successfully ascend the throne as emperor... Now the situation in Ning Country is clear, but those soldiers have not withdrawn, are they soldiers of the Fourth Prince?"

"They are still stationed in Xigu City, and their intention is not to point their sword at Ning State, but...toward Sifeng City, the capital of Yue State?"

Master Pukong nodded, "This is exactly what the prince is worried about, so the prince also asked me to meet you."

"see me?"

"Mr. was once the prince's husband after all. Now the prince is facing this crisis. The prince wants to invite him to go to the country of Yue to help the prince."

"The prince promises that when he becomes emperor, he will worship you as his prime minister!"

Wen Zhuyu pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"Why did sir refuse?"

"Because this guy Li Chenan is leaving, my senior brother Xi Wei spent so much trouble to create such a good situation for Li Chenan."

"You don't know my senior brother, I can't beat him!"

"So I've been avoiding him."

"But now I'm afraid I can't hide anymore, he will make up his mind to find me and ask me to help Li Chenan watch over this country!"

Master Pukong frowned slightly, "Since Xi Wei has such a great talent, why doesn't he stay on the mountain?"

Wen Zhuyu let out a smirk, and picked up the teacup, "Because he wants to be a whore, and he also wants to set up an archway!"

"...Sir, if you go to the country of Yue, won't you be able to avoid him completely?"

"I can't avoid it... the matter of the country of Yue, I think you can send someone to find another person."

"who?"

"He Xishan!"

Master Pukong was startled, "Monk Nirvana?"

"Yes! He Xishan is the elder brother of the Great Monk Jijue, but he came to Ningguo because he didn't want to be a monk. He was also afraid of breaking the lust, so he swung a knife and entered the palace to become a eunuch."

"He's also a ruthless person!"

"Now...he is both a eunuch and a monk, so what's the matter?"

"Ask him to go back to the country of Yue, thinking that the trouble of coming to the country of Yue can be solved!"

Master Pukong pondered for a moment: "Where can I find him?"

"Shuzhou, Yinping County, Xishan, Jishan Temple."

"Thank you sir!"

At this moment, a little monk ran in like flying, and said out of breath:

"Master, two Taoist priests are coming outside!"

"Taoist? What's the point of panic?"

"...Master, these two Taoist priests are so unreasonable, they, they insist that we stew a pot of dog meat for them!"
