Chapter 388
The donkey killing operation was a complete success, and Xiao Chen made another contribution. If it weren't for his magical sixth sense, keen observation ability and extraordinary adaptability, I don't know what will happen to this matter?
He caught the culprit who destroyed the dragon's veins, directly resolved the misunderstanding with Prince Yim, and saved her life by the way, which was tantamount to overfulfilling Li Wanjiang's king's life.
"Thank you, Xiao Chen. You saved my life. I don't know how to repay you, but the Buddha will bless you." Prince Yimu bowed to Xiao Chen.
"Prince Im is too polite, this is what I should do." Xiao Chen said modestly.
"You can call me Shia." Prince Im said, "This is my childhood name, only my closest friends can call me that."
"Xiya, what a beautiful name, just like your appearance." Xiao Chen said.
"No wonder Ruyun admires you so much, you are such an interesting person." Shia smiled, full of charm.
A whimsical thought suddenly occurred to Xiao Chen...
"Xia, since you regard me as your friend, then I want to ask you to come to the palace to meet the emperor with me, and clarify all the misunderstandings between us?" Xiao Chen said.
"Okay, I want to see him too." Shia agreed without hesitation.
Li Wanjiang was really taken aback when he heard the report from Xiao Chen and others. He thought Xiao Chen was making a fuss out of a molehill, but who would have expected him to be right!
This kid wants to become a genius, he!
But it's also beautifully done.
He was equivalent to saving Prince Im's life, so Prince Im will definitely not be surprised by what happened before.
In this way, the relationship with Tianzhu not only did not break down, but also became closer.
Xiao Chen is so clever, he didn't say that he had a premonition, but said that all of this was personally arranged by Emperor Li Wanjiang...
What happened to Li Wanjiang was a little bit embarrassing, but also very comforting.
"Prince Im, I see that you might as well live in the palace, otherwise I really don't feel at ease. We also have temples in the palace, which are very quiet, but it won't affect your practice." Li Wanjiang is really scared now. If anything happens to her, it's better to keep her by his side.
"It all depends on the arrangement of the Great Zhou Emperor." Xi Ya obeyed gently.
Speaking of which, she was actually quite scared, and it didn't feel good to be in the same room with a few monks for several days, it was like a year, isn't it?
She is not so afraid of death, but she is afraid that her pure lotus body will be defiled by a few monks, and her twenty years of practice will be ruined in one go.
In fact, Monk Huanxi had already turned his mind on her. If the other three hadn't firmly opposed her, she would have fallen into a hell that would never be restored.
The temple in the palace is called Hongmei Temple, which was funded and built by the Queen Mother herself. Maybe the old woman felt that she had committed too many crimes in her life, so she was willing to spend money to build the temple. Own karma...
There are no monks in the temple, only nuns, and they are all from the palace. There are court ladies and concubines, some who are disillusioned, and some who are willing to be ordained to be the queen mother's substitute. There are all kinds, and there are more than a dozen.
Xiao Chen has been in the palace for so long, and he has never been here, but occasionally he can hear the evening drum and morning bell coming from here.
The temple is not big or small, a hall dedicated to Tathagata Buddha and Medicine Buddha, dozens of monks' houses on both sides, and a snow-covered field behind the yard.
A plum blossom under the courtyard wall is in full bloom, and the breeze is blowing, and the flowers are full of fragrance.
It's really a quiet and clean place.
"It's such a quiet place, once people come here, the worldly thoughts will disappear!" Xiao Chen sighed.
"Master Xiao also wants to become a monk?" The presiding officer of the temple was a beautiful woman in her thirties, with the name of Qingxin. Although she was a monk, her speech and behavior were very casual, generous and unaffected.
"Well, don't say that I really have this idea." Xiao Chen is not talking nonsense, it is really this kind of Buddhist quiet place, which will make people feel at ease.
It seems that all the glory and wealth in the world of mortals, the parting of life and death, fighting and killing, and the replacement of dynasties are all a big dream.
There is a feeling like a world away.
"Brother, you are a monk, and I will be a little nun to accompany you." Ling'er said.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Chen laughed.
"Miss Ling'er, you can become a monk if you want to, but Master Xiao can't. He is a hero in the world and a person who does great things. This small temple can't accommodate him." Very charming.
"I'm actually a monk. My master is the nun of Mount Emei. When I was a child, she gave me a dharma name, Qingling. Hehe, we should be regarded as sisters of the same school." Ling'er laughed. With a delicate face and a heartless look, I'm afraid she can really be a qualified little nun.
Qingxin arranged an elegant and quiet courtyard for Shia. There was only one hut in the courtyard, and the furnishings inside were extremely simple, with only a bed, a table, and a few wooden stools.
A sandalwood bookcase is full of Buddhist scriptures, a gold-plated Buddha statue is placed on the west wall, and there is a bamboo worship chair underneath, but there is nothing else.
"Oh, this is a bit too poor, right?" Xiao Chen felt that it was too crude, "How about I ask them to send some furniture later?"
"No need, this place is very good, I like it very much." Shia gently refused.
After making arrangements, Xiao Chen left as soon as he made arrangements, and went straight to Chuxiu Palace, telling Liu Ruyun that I brought your beloved, now you can flirt with her anytime, no one knows!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Ruyun laughed, "I'm not that."
"You can try it." Xiao Chen said shamelessly, "Anyway, no matter how much you mess around, you can't do anything."
"You're a dead slave who doesn't speak well!" Liu Ruyun said angrily.
"Actually, I just think it's a pity that she is so beautiful but becomes a nun, and I see that she still has a mortal heart, and she will definitely not be the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a lifetime. The Buddha saves a destined person, but she is undestined. "Xiao Chen believed in his own feelings.
Because he always felt that there was spring water in Shia's eyes.
"I beg you, stop talking nonsense, okay?" Liu Ruyun was dying of worry.
"No nonsense. In fact, this is normal. As long as you are a human being, you have the seven emotions and six desires. How can it be so easy to cut them off? You also said that Xi Ya was not born with pure six sense organs. The reason why she converted to Buddhism is because Her orientation is not tolerated by the secular world, but she is not dedicated to Buddha." Xiao Chen's words are really not nonsense.
"Well, anyway, I can't say anything about you, but what does it matter to you whether Xi Ya asks the Buddha?" Liu Ruyun said.
"Is she your good friend? Is she a sincere and kind girl? Then she shouldn't live so lonely and cold all her life!" Xiao Chen plausibly said.
"Buddha can't help her, so I'm the only one to help her." He sighed again, "Who makes me kind."
