The almighty crazy concubine is tough on the audience, and the prince passes the knife behind him

At this moment, the door of the temple slowly opened and three monks came out.

"Amitabha!"

The leading old monk was wearing a cassock, followed by two young novice monks. The three of them put their hands together and performed a Buddhist salute respectfully to them.

"Old Monk Yuanming has met His Royal Highness the Prince and several donors!" the old monk said.

"Abbot Abbot, you don't have to be polite!" Li Beimo gave him a weak hand, "Today the Crown Prince of Japan and the Crown Princess are here. In addition to praying for blessings and offering incense, they also want to see Master Wu Yan, so please don't disturb the purity of the temple."

Hearing this, Abbot Yuanming looked at Cheng Qingqing in surprise.

When he saw her eyes clearly, he was slightly stunned, but then he smiled and said: "It turns out that this person is the Crown Princess. It's really rude."

"Abbott, you're welcome." Cheng Qingqing also nodded slightly to him.

"Your Highness, please come in!" Abbot Yuanming twisted the Buddhist beads in one hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Please!"

A few people walked into the temple. Cheng Qingqing saw that the courtyard was very large, but it could be seen that this was not the main hall. Li Beimo led them to avoid the pilgrims and came in through the side door.

She looked around and saw that every brick and tile inside showed a simple charm, and every Buddha statue showed its majesty.

Abbot Yuanming led them through several long corridors before entering a spacious and grand hall. Huge wooden pillars supported the towering roof, which looked solemn and mysterious.

There was a lot of incense in the temple, and there were about a dozen masters sitting on futons, banging wooden fish with their hands, and chanting Buddhist scriptures non-stop, with long and rich sounds.

Cheng Qingqing looked up and saw a tall gilded Buddha statue. The Buddha statue was lifelike, with an upright posture and a solemn appearance. There was kindness between the brows, and he looked down at everything below with his eyes slightly lowered.

Li Beimo, Linghu Yuan, and Luo Qin walked to the tall gilded Buddha statue and bowed three times.

The two young novices lit the incense and handed it to them.

The four people all held three incense sticks, put their hands together, held the three incense sticks on their two thumbs, bowed to the Buddha statue, and placed the incense in the nine purple gold incense burners in front of the Buddha.

After lighting incense and worshiping the Buddha, Linghu Yuan said: "Third Junior Brother, you go about your business first. Second Junior Brother and I went out for a walk."

After saying that, he and Luo Qin left.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Li Beimo said to Abbot Yuanming: "Abbott, I would like to see Master Wuyan. Can you please inform me?"

"The prince's arrival is really unlucky. Master Wuyan went down the mountain to wander around half a year ago." Abbot Yuanming said apologetically.

"You went down the mountain and wandered around half a year ago?" Li Beimo frowned, "Then Master, can you tell me where he went and when will he come back?"

"Never!" Abbot Yuanming shook his head, "Monks live all over the world and their whereabouts are unpredictable. The last time the master traveled down the mountain, he only came back six years ago."

Li Beimo looked at the Buddha statue above, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Abbot Yuanming twirled the beads in his hand and saw that he was worried, so he said, "Your Highness, you and the Crown Princess are both wealthy and powerful. Although there will be some twists and turns, in the end the danger will be saved."

"I think the abbot has been practicing for many years. His Taoism and cultivation are quite advanced, and the power of Buddhism is incomparable. Can you tell the fate of my wife?" Li Beimo asked.

"Amitabha!"

Abbot Yuanming clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness, Lao Na's Buddhist teachings are shallow and cannot detect the will of God. However, Lao Na has a message for Your Highness and the Empress. There is a certain destiny in the world, and everything will take its course."

Hearing this, Li Beimo understood. He bowed his hands to Abbot Yuanming and said to him solemnly: "Thank you, Abbot, for your advice. I understand."

"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this." Abbot Yuanming gently turned the beads with one hand and placed his other hand in front of him, "Amitabha! How good, how good!"

Li Beimo nodded, "The prince will take his leave first."

"Your Highness, it's a long way back to Kyoto, so let's go to the Zen room and have a cup of tea before we go!" Abbot Yuanming said.

"That's fine, I'll disturb the abbot." Li Beimo thought that the two senior brothers had not come back so soon, so he wanted to wait for them first.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess! This way please!" Abbot Yuanming walked to the front and led the way.

Arriving at a large Zen room, Cheng Qingqing took a look. This should be a Zen room for pilgrims to rest in the temple.

Li Beimo took out a money bag and said to Abbot Yuan Ming, "This is some incense money for the temple. This is some incense money. To express my feelings, please accept it, Abbot."

"Amitabha! Your Highness is welcome." Abbot Yuanming accepted it, clasped his hands together and bowed again, "This way I won't disturb Your Highness and the Crown Princess's rest."

"Abbott, please!"

Seeing Abbot Yuanming walking away, Li Beimo led Cheng Qingqing to sit down and said, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect Master Wuyan to go down the mountain and wander around."

"Let nature take its course!" Cheng Qingqing recalled Abbot Yuanming's surprised reaction when he first looked at her, and wondered what the abbot had seen?

But why didn't he tell the truth? I only want to give them a profound message: There is a certain destiny in the dark, and everything will take its course.

A teenage novice monk came in with tea, "Donor, please use tea."

"Thank you, little master." Cheng Qingqing saw that he looked quite cute, so she took out a model ship and gave it to him.

"A little gift for you."

The young novice had never seen such a beautiful boat, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Donor, do you really want to give me such a precious thing?"

"Well, do you think it looks good?" Cheng Qingqing handed the boat to him, "It's yours now."

"It's beautiful!" The little novice monk looked at the boat and hesitated to pick it up.

According to the Buddhist precepts in the temple, when monks accept donations from donors, they can only accept things that can be used directly, such as food and clothing, and cannot accept money.

This thing is shiny and golden, and it looks like a valuable thing at first glance. If he accepts it, he will definitely be punished by his master.

"This thing is made of wood and is not valuable. I gave it to you as a toy." Cheng Qingqing put the model ship in his hand and said, "Take it."

"Thank you, donor." When the little novice heard that the things were worthless, he smiled excitedly, said thank you, took the things and left.

"Qingqing, are you tired?" Li Beimo poured her a cup of tea.

"It's rare for us to come out. Let's have a cup of hot tea and go for a walk!" Cheng Qingqing said.

"Alright."

The two drank a cup of tea. Cheng Qingqing took out a small makeup bag and said, "Let's put on makeup first! In case someone recognizes us, it won't be fun."

"It's okay if we recognize it. No one dares to look at us." Li Beimo felt that this was not necessary.

"We want to have fun with the people. When we go out, we scare everyone away. It's so boring for us to play by ourselves!" Cheng Qingqing turned his face over and began to put makeup on him.

"Don't move, it will be fine soon."

Li Beimo had no choice but to let her mess with his face.

After a while, both of their faces turned into different faces.

"Okay, I'm afraid neither the senior brother nor the second senior brother will recognize us now." Cheng Qingqing put away her makeup bag.
