Chapter 640 Baoguo Temple

PS: I put it in the draft box yesterday, I forgot to post a chapter, I will make it up today, sorry~~~~
Qi Xin sighed, recited the Buddha's name for a long time, and asked, "But I don't know what the envoy's plan is for tomorrow?"

The old monk squinted his eyes and said, "Li Canghai is now the regent of Silla, and he must be accompanied by expert guards. It is obviously impossible to assassinate him. You just need to bring him to this Buddha statue tomorrow."

As he said that, the old monk pointed to a giant Buddha about ten feet tall on the Daxiong Hall.

Qi Xin looked up at the big Buddha covered in gold leaf, and after thinking for a while, he had no choice but to nod.

After the three conspired again, they returned to the meditation room.

"Brother, what are your plans? Do you really want to promise Xiang Yang to get rid of Li benefactor?" On the way back to the Zen room, he asked by name.

Qi Xin didn't speak. After a moment of silence, he said, "Junior brother, what do you think?"

The signature was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Benefactor Li is a kind man, and he cares about the world. He is a person with deep roots of wisdom. The Tang Dynasty is now in a storm, and the people will fall into war sooner or later. With Benefactor Li It is also a great help to the people. If he is killed, it will be an incalculable loss to the people of the Tang Dynasty. But... Nalanda Temple was able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains thanks to the support of Yang Xiang. Going against Xiang Yang's wishes, Nalanda Temple may be unsustainable in the Central Plains."

Qi Xin sighed, and he pondered: "This is also the most troublesome thing for me. I stayed away from Tianzhu and came to the Central Plains just to let the light of Buddhism in Nalanda Temple illuminate the Tang Dynasty. If we lose the support of Xiang Yang because of this, It will be difficult for Nalanda Temple to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. But my Buddha is merciful, how can we kill living beings?"

"This is really a mistake. I didn't expect that the person we rescued was the one that Xiang Yang wanted to get rid of." Signature sighed.

Qixin recited the Buddha's name, looked up at the deep night sky, and said, "Perhaps, this is the test given to us by the Buddha!"

The two looked at each other, chanted the Buddha's name at the same time, and then turned back to the meditation room.

At about [-]:[-] the next day, Li Canghai and others came to Baoguo Temple.

After repeated wars, the people of Silla have suffered unspeakably. This time, the uncovered meeting at Baoguo Temple has attracted many people to attend.

Baoguo Temple is a centuries-old temple. Although it has gone through wars, it still stands tall in the Golden City. It can be said that it is a holy place in the hearts of the people of Silla.

Dongying attacked Jincheng, and the Baoguo Temple was more or less damaged.

After this refurbishment, Baoguo Temple has restored its former grandeur, especially the statue of Sakyamuni in the Daxiong Hall. It is said that this Buddha statue was carved by Monk Jianzhen himself when he was praying for rain for Silla when he was traveling east. It can be said to be the treasure of Silla.

The restoration of Baoguo Temple not only restores the temple, but also restores the suffering hearts of the people of Silla.

Li Canghai, as the regent of Silla, had no hesitation in this kind of thing that could comfort the people.

After arriving at Baoguo Temple, monks from Baoguo Temple hurriedly came to greet him.

"Old Na Zhikong has seen the prince, Amitabha." The old abbot, wearing cassock and white beard and hair, led the monks to salute Li Canghai with clasped hands.

Li Canghai bowed slightly to return the salute: "Master, you are welcome, may I ask when the Uncovered Conference will start?"

"The unsheltered meeting is scheduled to start at noon, and it's still early, please come to the abbot to serve tea." The old host said in an old voice.

Li Canghai glanced at the busy monks, then nodded, and followed the old abbot to the abbot.

Inside the abbot, Li Canghai and Di Qing were sitting on the kang, the old abbot turned around and left after some courtesy, leaving Qi Xin and two Indian monks named to talk with him.

Several people talked about some topics related to Buddhist scriptures together. For some reason, Li Canghai always felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit weird.

Qi Xin and Fear of Fame seem to have something on their minds, and sometimes, they don't answer Li Canghai's questions.

Li Canghai didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that maybe it was because the two of them were too tired these days, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, the old host tremblingly brought a tray with several delicate teacups on it.

When he came to Li Canghai and Di Qing, the old host brought the tea cups to them one by one, and said with apologetic expression: "My lord is here, the temple is closed and there is no way to entertain him. Only this red date tea can please my lord. I hope my lord is not surprised."

Li Canghai took the teacup, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile, "Master, you are welcome, this jujube tea is sweet and fragrant, and the response is indeed different. I think this date should be extremely precious, right?"

The old host laughed, sat down tremblingly, and said: "My lord doesn't know, this red date is the fruit of the five-leaf jujube tree brought by Master Jianzhen back then. That jujube tree bears countless fruits every year, but There are no more than a hundred of them that can mature. As the saying goes, one flower blooms five leaves, and the fruit will come naturally. It is said that this jujube was brought by Bodhidharma from Tianzhu, the Buddhist country, and contains the supreme Buddha power. Those who are destined to get it can understand my Buddha. Truth."

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Since this jujube is so precious, wouldn't it be a waste for Master to entertain me with it?"

The old host hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words really hurt the old monk. The Lord has done his best for the people of Silla, and he is also a life-saving benefactor for the people of the whole city. He has a great compassion. Admiration, although these five-leaf dates are precious, what are they compared to the great achievements of the prince? The old man is just worried that the date will be so old that it will be difficult for the prince to eat it!"

What the old host said was true, tears flickered in his eyes, if he didn't drink it, it might hurt his kindness.Li Canghai chuckled, then picked up the teacup, and said, "Master, you are serious. I am just an ordinary person. I have done what I should do, so what great achievements have I made? It's just that Silla is now in chaos. It is necessary for the master to help the people a lot."

"Amitabha, don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to help the people overcome this difficulty. My lord, please." After reciting the Buddha's name, the old abbot said.

Li Canghai nodded, took a few sips of tea.

"Well, this jujube tea really has a unique taste." Li Canghai praised with his tongue.

The old host put down the teacup, and said cheerfully: "I still have dozens of dates here, since the prince likes it, I can give it to the prince."

Li Canghai couldn't help being stunned for a moment, he laughed and said, "A gentleman doesn't steal people's love, master, please don't misunderstand me, I just said it casually."

"My lord, why be polite, just take it. Two masters, what do you think?" The old host narrowed his eyes and asked Qi Xin and Fear.

The two seemed to be a little absent-minded. After hearing what the old host said, they gave a blank ah, then nodded and said: "What the host said is exactly what the poor monk thinks. If you can use this five-leaf jujube as an offering to the benefactor Li A kind of blessing, Li benefactor should not refuse."
