    Mingjue perked up and asked, "Is this the Sutra Temple dedicated to Padmasambhava?"

    This cannot be hidden, Zhao Ran nodded again: "Indeed."

    Mingjue couldn't help but touch his forehead with his hand and sighed: "It's true! Perhaps Taoist Master Zhao doesn't know that this matter is nothing to the Taoist sect, but to my Buddhist sect, its significance is very important."

    Zhao Ran quickly clarified: "The temple is empty, there is nothing there, it's not worth mentioning."

    Mingjue was stunned and asked: "Have the murals been preserved? Where are the Buddhist niches? Where are the Buddha statues?"

    Zhao Ran weighed it for a moment and said vaguely: "I didn't pay attention to this. I just glanced at it in a hurry that day. You know that I am a Taoist monk and I don't care much about your Buddhist things. It seems that I have reserved some  At that time, Master Tongwei Xianhua, Patriarch Longyang, and Lord Qingshan all said they wanted to tear down the temple and rebuild my Taoist temple"

    Mingjue immediately exclaimed: "This is absolutely impossible!"

    Zhao Ran laughed and said, "What's wrong with this? It's useless for my Taoist sect to bring it."

    Mingjue calmed down, thought for a while, and said: "If it really needs to be demolished, then my Buddhist sect should send people to demolish it. Every brick and tile can be preserved, and the murals and carved beams on it can be restored. I don't know.  Can you please be accommodating?"

    After making a little joke, Zhao Ran stopped teasing Ming Jue, so he said: "Is it so troublesome? Forget it, let's not demolish it. Let this Sutra-Brushing Temple be preserved for the time being."

    Mingjue wiped his sweat, nodded and said: "It's best not to move if you can. This is the right way."

    Zhao Ran said: "Then tell me, what do you mean by mentioning Shujing Temple?"

    Mingjue said: "What I, Tianlongyuan, want to do is to send people to the Sutra Temple to pay homage to the Buddha statue of Padmasambhava, trace the murals in the temple, and copy the scriptures. I will not hide the records of Padmasambhava from me."  Buddhism has its shortcomings. Many of them are legends and are not reliable. If your sect agrees, this "Wuji Tu" will belong to your sect."

    "Two piles for one, Tianlongyuan made a good plan."

    ""The Promise" deserves it!"

    Zhao Ran also believed that "The Promise Picture" was worthy of the asking price, not to mention that the golden bowl was originally returned together with Xuanci Hongti. The original plan was to give it away for free. If he could get back a "Promise Picture", it would be a big deal.  A great surprise.  This is not only a relic of Lou Guan, it can be called a Taoist treasure!

    But how should we meet Cheng An?  Zhao Ran thought about it, but still got nothing, so he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to get "The Promise Picture" first and then think of other solutions to Cheng An's matter.  Ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand!

    So he said: "Change! But it is not allowed for your Buddhist sect to send people to paint the sutra temple, trace the murals, and copy the sutras."

    Mingjue was startled, not knowing why.

    Zhao Ran inspired: "I like to write in my spare time and exchange calligraphy techniques with my pen pals Masters who have a deep knowledge of calligraphy are among the poor friends."

    Mingjue understood, clasped his hands and said, "Young monk must go and pay a visit." After saying that, he put away the square wooden box, said goodbye and went out. This time, the one who looked at him reluctantly was Zhao Ran.

    Zhao Ran was also very uneasy. He privately promised Mingjue to enter the Sutra Temple as a pen pal. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong. But in front of the Taoist treasure "The Promise Picture", few people could control it, and neither did Zhao Ran.  exception.

    If Zhao Ran wants to really get these things, he can only go to Tianlongyuan and hand over the rainbow body and golden bowl.  In fact, he did not refuse to complete the exchange now, and went back home without even going to Xingqing, but Buddhism firmly disagreed with this - it was too hasty, and such "Meng Lang's behavior" would be harmful to the perfect holding of the Tianlongyuan Dharma Conference.  .

    No matter where you go, procedures and rituals are a must!  What's more, Zhao Ran himself has become an indispensable link in the planned Tianlongyuan Dharma Conference.

    The Dharma conference convened by Hongdao in Lingzhou was very successful. For Buddhist believers, Xuanci, who has achieved nirvana, is undoubtedly the best object of prayer, just like the newly ascended Zhang Laodao did to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

    The real Buddha body appears in the world, who wouldn¡¯t come to worship it?  After the preaching ceremony, the participating Buddhist monks and believers kowtowed in the direction of the guest house where Zhao Ran temporarily stayed. The scene was very lively.

    Zhao Ran sometimes also wonders, is returning the rainbow body right or wrong for the Taoist sect?  In exchange for some benefits, is it really good to let the other party's trust grow wildly?  But then I thought again, mutual exchange is reciprocal. If you take the other person's today, the other party can take yours tomorrow. When I think about this, I feel relieved.

    According to Tianlongyuan¡¯s plan, Zhao Ran and others will stay in Lingzhou for four days.

    Lingzhou was originally an important town in the Tang Dynasty, but Buddhism moved westwardLater, it was the headquarters of the Xiangqing Military Division of the Xia State. Together with Xingqing, it was known as the East and West Capitals. It was a large Western Xia city comparable to the capital of Xingqing.

    Zhao Ran had stayed in Xingqing Mansion for a year and a half, and knew that Lingzhou was where the Tuoba family of Dangxiang made his fortune. Not only was the Xiangqing Military Division stationed there in charge of the Li family, but the upper-level nobles of the Li family were basically entrenched in the city.  this.  For the young leader Li Qianshun, Lingzhou was Li's basic base and the most solid guarantee for him to occupy the position of leader.

    When Zhao Ran was in Cheng'an, he stood on the side of the Hou Clan and was an out-and-out Hou Party member. He did not have a good impression of the Imperial Party, not only for business reasons, but also because there were many members of the Imperial Party.  The largest anti-Ming faction in Xixia¡ªmost of them were Ming people who had defected.

    Of course, now that Zhao Ran is an envoy, he and Zhang Juzheng, who is also the deputy envoy, can't go anywhere. They can only wait obediently in the official post where they are temporarily staying, waiting for the next arrangement of Tianlongyuan, so he can't see these things either.  Li family noble.

    Zhao Ran can¡¯t see anyone. Apart from dealing with Zhang Juzheng and Mingjue, every free time is spent on refining his merit power.  It has been more than a month since Wudang Mountain absorbed a large amount of merit power. The two golden elixirs that were originally full of merit power have improved slightly. Although they are still full, they finally no longer have "abdominal pain like twisting".

    One hundred and eight drops of essence are generated in his body every day, and all the refining is just a cup of tea. Most of the remaining time is spent doing nothing but drawing talisman and talisman. He also doesn¡¯t know how to draw the golden armor and golden soldier talisman.  I bought a lot of them to pass the time.

    On August 12, several more great monks came to Tianlongyuan. Zhao Ran silently noted down this hall and that hall. He knew that this was the second wave of monks from Tianlongyuan to greet Hongti, and the one they were paying homage to was Xuan Cihong.  The body has nothing to do with him.  In addition to the monks, several high-ranking officials from the court also came. Among these people, he saw an acquaintance, Yushi Zhongcheng Fei Tingqingxia, one of the eight party members and the boss of the Fei Ting family.

    Fei Tingqingxia was a centrist figure, neither a rear party nor an imperial party. As a welcoming representative of the Xixia court, he was in his proper place.

    After the second wave of welcoming teams arrived, Zhao Ran and his party set off again. After two days of travel, they arrived in Xingqing on August 15th - August 16th was the Tianlongyuan Dharma Assembly, and the time was just right.

    Xingqing Mansion should not be too familiar to Zhao Ran. Looking up at the tall city gate, passing through the streets, and looking at the archways, Zhao Ran was in a daze.  After leaving Xingqing for nearly four years, he came back grandly as an envoy. The world is so strange and unpredictable.
