Zhao Ran's mind was racing and he tried his best to pull back the words: "Well Master Zhicheng has a keen eye, so he can see through the joints Well, but But then again, Master Zhicheng wants to pass I'm afraid it's not the best way to let Senior Sister Song let go of her bad fate after several years of hard work. Can the word love really be cut off? The best way is actually to let Senior Sister Song realize it on her own. Yes, let her fully understand the fate of it on her own. For example, let her meet the mountain guest again and completely give up this attachment. If she doesn't truly let go from the bottom of her heart, how can she convert to Buddhism?"
Xingzhen nodded and added: "What the benefactor said makes sense. Just from the fact that she still has this calligraphy and painting beside her, it is a clear proof of her unwillingness. Persistence cannot be worn away by the power of persistence. The cause is hard work and the result is fate. There is no worry in the heart, only because there is no worry.¡±
Mingjue put his hands together and said to Xingzhen, "Thank you, senior brother, for your guidance."
Afterwards, Mingjue said that he would go back to Qukong Temple and plead with his master to let Senior Sister Song return to the Ming Dynasty to end the bad relationship.
Zhao Ran was relieved now.
The two parties also agreed that after Mingjue returned, he would ask for leave from Tianlongyuan and invite the donor to go to Qukong Temple in Baiyin Mountain. Zhao Ran readily agreed.
Monk Xingzhen has a special duty. He is a monastic monk in the West Hall. He has to assist Master Xugu, the elder of the West Hall, in handling various affairs. It would be difficult to spare time for him, so he didn¡¯t go.
Zhao Ran was really not expecting such a result of a vegetarian meal. He was originally afraid that there would be trouble after rejecting the invitation, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing. Sometimes he often wonders, maybe he is really destined to work hard, so he practices techniques that require hard work, and that's why he encounters things that require hard work wherever he goes.
Getting along with the two monks Xingzhen and Mingjue of Tianlongyuan, and the two abbots Longyang and Wulan of Xilin Temple, Zhao Ran often felt that these Buddhist monks were quite easy to deal with, except for Except for a few, most of them are usually pleasant to get along with.
They know how to be tolerant, know how to be humble, know good and evil, and are willing to stay in poverty. Many eminent monks do not feel superior because they are practitioners, but are willing to talk to you in a normal way and discuss things with you seriously. I agree. He will never regret anything, let alone bully him at will based on his cultivation skills.
"It's a pity that Buddhism and Taoism are in conflict, and the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains and the Buddhist Kingdom in the West are hostile, resulting in endless wars and endless killings between each other. In fact, from the middle and lower levels, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, from the perspective of human nature, they are all the same.
Just like this time, Qukong Temple did not directly kill Song Yuqiao because she was a Taoist practitioner. Instead, they took a fancy to the girl's so-called "Buddha nature" and planned to convert her to Buddhism.
As for my own changes, if I had encountered this kind of thing a year ago, I am afraid that my only thought would have been to kill him, whether it was an open robbery or a hidden robbery, but he could not escape a violent solution.
But now, I actually want to use relationships to intercede and let him go. Not only do I think so, but I also do it. The key is that it is feasible.
Thinking about myself again, these powerful people in Xingqing Mansion who I met did not fight or kill them because of their status as Mingshang. Instead, they had a great time making money together. It's a bit incredible when I think back on it.
??????????????????????????? You can¡¯t think blindly anymore, it is disrespectful to the Taoist sect to continue thinking like this!
Zhao Ran put aside his distracting thoughts and returned to the Jinbo Club. He immediately asked Li Laoshi to find the detailed list of members, carefully checked among hundreds of names, then placed his finger on one of the names and said to Li Laoshi: "Go and ask Cui Niang to come over."
The next night, Deputy Envoy Li of the Imperial City Department, who had originally reserved a room for three days, was fortunately informed by Jinbo Club. Hearing that Deputy Envoy Li was coming to drink, Jinbo Club specially vacated Wei Ai's private room for his banquet. We can advance it to that night. I just ask Deputy Li if he is willing?
Of course, Deputy Ambassador Li would be happy to do so. The Weiai private room in Jinbo Club is famous among the dignitaries of the entire Xia Kingdom, and it is quite a face-saving thing to be able to entertain guests there. So Deputy Ambassador Li quickly re-sent the post to all the invited guests.
That night, the Cheng family came to Weiai's private room to toast in person. Not only did they serve several famous dishes freshly baked by Jinbo Restaurant for free, but they also took out the precious Ming Dynasty daughter red to drink with Vice Ambassador Li and his party. Deputy Ambassador Li and the table full of guests were all drunk from the various drinking jokes at Cheng Dong's house.
Zhao Ran frowned and went back. After thinking hard for a long time, he got a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was important or not - what happened in Changning Valley back then was not what he imagined!
News about Mingjue came quickly. He had taken three days of personal leave at Tianlongyuan, saying that he was going back to Baiyin Mountain to visit his teacher and was preparing to leave early tomorrow morning.
Baiyin Mountain is not very far from Xingqing Mansion, about 130 miles away, and more than half of it is a highway, which can accommodate horse-drawn carriages, so it can be reached in half a day.
Jinbo Club was naturally responsible for the carriage. Early in the morning, Zhao Ran drove the carriage to Tianlongyuan and picked up Mingjue outside the door.
After all, it was the core hinterland of the Xia Kingdom. The official road of more than 80 miles was quite open. The carriage ran very fast. The two of them chatted in the carriage and completed the road in more than an hour.
????????? Arranged for the driver to stay at a large car shop next to the road to take care of the driver, so that he would not be able to ride in the car for the remaining fifty miles. Due to his identity, Zhao Ran could only pretend to be an ordinary person, so he could not use Taoism to rush on the road. This problem was easy to solve. He simply used some food, spent money to rent two horses in a big car shop, and got off the official road. Then we headed due north.
After passing through a forest, we walked upstream along Baiyinshui. The terrain became higher and higher, and the ride on the horse became quite bumpy. Mingjue didn't say anything idle, he just controlled the horse and slowly moved forward with Zhao Ran.
This made Zhao Ran very embarrassed, but he could only pretend to the end, and slowly walked up the mountain with Mingjue, but his affection for the monk increased a bit.
The last section of the mountain road was particularly rugged, and it was almost dusk before we finally arrived at Qukong Temple.
Qukong Temple is not that big. From a distance, it is estimated that it covers an area of ??only five or six acres, with five or six halls and terraces, and dozens of houses. Zhao Ran felt that compared with the area of ??his own Jinbo Club, it was probably quite inferior.
Although the temple is small, the surrounding scenery is quite impressive. Several large banyan trees stand towering in front of the temple, naturally forming the mountain gate of Qukong Temple. In front of and behind the temple, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and trees with unknown names. There are also flowing springs and waterfalls on the cliffs, which are pleasing to the eye.
