Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 167 The Monk’s Unlucky Day

"I haven't heard of monks eating meat and drinking wine. Is this a Japanese monk?"

"Well done, Prince Consort Lin, this is what a fake monk should be like!"

"It's really ridiculous that the people of Japan are so ignorant of etiquette!"

"..."

People around were talking a lot. After the monk Kung Kai was thrown out, the monk in charge also thanked Lin Heng.

"Thanks to Consort Lin for exposing this person today. If not, it would probably be an insult to the tranquility of Buddhism."

Lin Heng waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, this kind of people should be like this. I dare to ask Master Huineng if he is in the temple. My wife insists on finding someone to check her marriage today, and I can't help it."

Li Ningxi blushed immediately. It was hard for her to do anything excessive in front of so many people.

Lin Heng had shouted this in front of a large audience more than once or twice, but Li Ningxi still couldn't adapt to it, after all, her inner self-cultivation was there.

Count marriage?
Well, the relationship between Consort Lin and Princess Runan is so good!

At the moment, many men and women who came together were a little envious.

The monk in charge smiled and said: "The master is currently in the temple. He has mentioned Lin's Consort many times these days. I will take you two there..."

The marriage thing was fake. In fact, Li Ningxi came to see Lin Heng today. Lin Heng, who had nothing to do, thought of taking Li Ningxi around Chang'an City.

Then I came to Ganye Temple, thinking that Master Huineng was a monk that Lin Heng had heard of in later generations, and he must be a very powerful one.

Li Ningxi does not respect Buddha and advocates Taoist knowledge. She even thought about becoming a nun before.

Lin Heng didn't care, and even had a good impression of Buddhism. He himself had read the Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra and other books that popularized Buddhism, and he had no bad feelings towards Buddhism.

He suddenly said to Li Ningxi: "You said that Li Chunfeng said that we are a match made in heaven, would Master Huineng also say the same? What if he said that we are not suitable?"

Li Ningxi narrowed her eyes happily and asked with a smile: "Does Langjun Lin care about these things?"

Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, but I must be happy to hear someone say that, and he is also a master!"

"If Master Huineng knew that Lin Langjun came to visit for this purpose, he would probably bombard him."

"You are a princess. If he dares to attack me, he dares to attack you? I will hide behind you..."

The monk Kukai who was blasted out spat at the door of Ganye Temple and cursed non-stop.

"What a shabby temple, the monks are so rude, ridiculous!"

"Haha, you damn Consort Lin, I didn't expect that he turned out to be this kind of person. It's really disappointing!"

The movement here was heard by the Jinwu Guards not far away, and they immediately surrounded them.

"Who dares to insult the current prince-in-law!"

Seeing the Kingo Guard wearing iron armor and carrying a sword at his waist, Kukai immediately took out his genealogy: "I am a visiting monk from the Japanese Kingdom, and this is the genealogy issued to me by your Majesty!"

Seeing this, the Jinwu guards all frowned: "Since we are from the Tang Dynasty and have come to learn Buddhism, why are we so rude? Not only do we insult the temple in a pure place of Buddhism, but we also dare to insult Lin's consort?"

Kukai said displeased: "Of course these people should be scolded. I came to seek Buddhist teachings and was turned away. I was also thrown out of the temple by that consort of the forest. Is it possible that I shouldn't be scolded?"

"Why did Prince Consort Lin throw you out?"

Kukai was stunned for a moment and was speechless.

Jin Wuwei immediately said: "I think you are very suspicious. You must have stolen the genealogy and pretended to be a monk. Take it away!"

Kukai immediately yelled and cursed. When he saw Kingo Guard approaching, he immediately wanted to run away, but was caught directly.

Being caught by Kingo Guards, Kukai was immediately horrified: "I am really a genealogical monk, you have arrested the wrong person!"

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in prison!"

As a result, Kukai was caught and thrown into prison.

But his identity was indeed true. Not long after he was thrown into prison, someone from the Ministry of Rites came to rescue him, and Kukai was taken out.

After seeing the light of day again, Kukai felt depressed, thinking that today was such an unlucky day.

"Is your Tang Dynasty all like this?"

Wang Jingchuan, the Minister of Rites, chuckled and said, "I advise you not to cause trouble. Since you are coming to study in the Tang Dynasty, you must have a corresponding attitude."

"It's best to know your position clearly." After saying that, Wang Jingchuan left without saying a word.

It is our duty to rescue the monk. After all, he was arrested because he was misunderstood that he was not a monk. As the department that communicates with the outside world, the Ministry of Rites naturally has to deal with these matters.

Monk Kukai was inevitably resentful, but he was helpless. With his ability, how could he take revenge on Lin Heng?
At the moment, I thought about shopping around Chang'an.

Zhuque Street, the busiest street in Chang'an, attracted Kukai's attention.

One of the shops, Liuli Pavilion, sold Liuli Kukai that I had never seen before, especially the two lines of poetry on the door.

"The good things in the world are not firm, the colorful clouds are easy to scatter, and the glass is fragile. What a poem!"

After entering the store, someone immediately came forward to greet me warmly.

"What kind of glass is this sold in your store?"

Cheng Huaiyi and Yuchi Baolin, who were strolling in the store at this time, saw a monk coming and immediately became interested.

"Haha, this colored glaze is a good thing. It is so crystal clear and gorgeous that many countries in the Western Region are rushing to buy it!"

"Oh?" Monk Kukai became interested and picked up a glass cup to examine it.

"How much does this thing sell for?"

Cheng Huaiyi quickly started the reception work: "This thing only sells for a hundred coins. It is high quality and low price. Master, would you like to buy one?"

Kukai was also very satisfied with this, but he didn't know why such an elegant store wanted to recruit these two big men as clerks. It was obviously a mismatch.

He then reached into his pocket and suddenly realized that the money bag was missing.

Kukai thought hard. He probably forgot to take it in prison, but he really liked the object in front of him.

"I am Kukai, a monk from the Japanese genealogy."

Cheng Huaiyi was stunned for a moment. Just buy it. Who are you and what does it have to do with him?
Japanese people?It should be the envoy who just arrived in Datang in the past two days.

He said nothing and continued to listen to Kukai.

"The things you have here are very gorgeous. I didn't bring my money bag, so I owe it today."

Yuchi Baolin chuckled and said: "If you do a small business, you can't change it on credit."

Damn it, you turned out to be someone who wanted to get credit, but why did you want to eat shit?

You paid this hundred yuan on credit. I doubt the authenticity of your identity!

Seeing the suspicious expressions on the faces of Cheng Huaiyi and the others, Kukai immediately said displeased: "Do you think I will lie to you? I am an envoy from the Japanese country, and I have a genealogy personally issued by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty."

"where?"

Kukai stretched out his hand and touched it, but couldn't touch it.

Thrown to jail again...

But his expression didn't change at all, he remained calm.

"I am indeed a monk with a genealogy. If you don't believe it, you can go to Honglu Temple to check."

Cheng Huaiyi immediately had a strange look on his face and looked at the person in front of him as if he were an idiot.

Do I have to go to Honglu Temple to check your identity just to let you get credit?
And you look like a swindler. Who would be a normal monk to buy something on credit?
Besides, even if you were real, they wouldn’t bother to go.

This shop earns hundreds or even thousands of dollars a day, why should I investigate this stupid thing like yours?

Yuchi Baolin said displeasedly: "Are you going to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, put it down. I said you can't pay on credit."

Kukai also looked unhappy: "I just didn't bring any money, it's not like I won't give it to you?"

Cheng Huaiyi's bad temper suddenly came to him: "What on earth are you here to do, stir up trouble?"

"I am the monk whose Majesty issued the genealogy. How dare you speak to me like this?!"

"I'm still the prince-in-law!"

After saying that, Cheng Huaiyi grabbed the glass cup with one hand, picked up Kukai and threw it out.

"Get out now!"
