Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

His Majesty Li Er, who said aggressively that he wanted to teach his son a lesson, gave up the idea of ​​taking out the belt after seeing him.

"Bad boy, what are you doing?" Looking at his son's eyes that were red and swollen from crying, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but feel curious. He pointed to the side that was guarded by the Xuanjia Army. The monk said to Li Kuan: "Don't tell me that it was this group of people who made you cry."

"Let him go..." His Highness King Chu's voice was still hoarse when he spoke at this moment.

"Qu Changsun, release him!" Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er said to Qu Changsun without looking back, and then he gave Chang He next to him a look.

The latter quickly understood and handed the water bottle on his waist to His Majesty.

"Drink some water first..." His Majesty Li Er has never seen this little brat look so sad.

"Gudu Gudu..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not polite to his foolish father.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty……"

Dou Shilun and his retainers formally saluted His Majesty Li Er.

"No courtesy! What's wrong with this kid?" His Majesty Li Er was anxious to solve the case, so he ignored Yu Wenqing, who was starting to gear up as he watched the monks leave, and instead turned his attention to Dou Shilun, who looked calm.

"His Royal Highness just thought of sad things for a moment..." Dou Shilun couldn't speak too directly.

"This kid is still sad?!" His Majesty Li Er felt that the sun might be coming from the west today: "Why don't I believe it..."

Yes...His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always "put aside his moral cultivation and enjoys a free life" - he simply shouldn't be too happy, okay...

"No..." His Royal Highness King Chu also returned to normal at this time: "Dad... you have to check my newly scarred wound? Can't you just let me be quiet?"

"..." Next, His Majesty Li Er's silence made the people around him tremble with fear.

Of course His Royal Highness the King of Chu definitely doesn't care.

"Sure... dad doesn't ask..." After a long time, His Majesty Li Er slowly said: "But are you sure that no one else provoked you? What dad means is that those monks haven't gone far yet. What do you really want?" The handle falls into the hands of the other party... Dad can also solve this problem for you..."

"..." As soon as His Majesty Li Er said these words, everyone present, including the retainers of the King of Chu and His Majesty Li Er's confidants, looked at the thieves and their son in front of them with shocked and speechless eyes.

Sure enough...what kind of vines bear what kind of melons-His Royal Highness, King Chu, has been around since he was a child...but it's not without reason...

It's just that on ordinary days, this cause and effect is hidden too deeply...

"I have nothing to do..." His Highness the King of Chu knew that his father was taking care of his own emotions, but at this moment he really had no interest in causing trouble for Buddhism. It is not that he believed in fate, he just hoped that his grandmother would leave something to him after she passed away. It's a good thing that his love can stay in this world for a little longer. As soon as he thought about it, Li Kuan suddenly said: "Dad... If nothing happens, let's go back... By the way, I want to visit my grandmother tomorrow..."

"..." His Majesty Li Er, who had already had guesses in his mind, had finally determined the reason why his son was so abnormal today. In view of this, he glanced at Dou Shilun, the silent retainer behind his son, and then said softly to his son: "Cheng, Kuan'er, you go back with your father first...and we have to hurry up. Your mother and Changle are still here." I'm afraid Lan Ling and the others are all worried about you very much..."

-------------------------------------

Less gossip,

After His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned to the palace, facing the concern from his mother and brothers and sisters, he excused his return with the excuse that he "just missed his grandmother occasionally". However, he went to Xianling again the next day. He didn't return until the palace door was about to be locked.

A sudden storm seemed to end in this way.

After that, His Highness King Chu seemed to be a changed person.

Not only did this old man's temper become much better than before, but he even spent more days on duty at Honglu Temple.

Of course, according to the usual practice, our Royal Highness the King of Chu would not go to the Great Court Meeting. However, it is actually good for everyone.

After all, both the government and the public, as well as civil and military officials, generally hold a common view on the connection between the Tai Chi Palace and the King of Chu - that is, the Tai Chi Palace is the "martial arts arena" for His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

However, although His Highness King Chu is quiet, this does not mean that the Buddhist and Taoist sects can feel at ease.

Half a month later, Yu Shinan, the teacher of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, brought a monk to Li Kuan for the first time.

In the bedroom of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the orthodox descendants of Wang Xi's lineage and his most prolific descendant formally met.

"Your Highness, this is my teacher, Master Zhiyong." To be honest, Yu Shinan didn't want to get involved in Buddhism at all, but thinking about the sincerity of the apology his master brought to his disciple this time, he changed his mind.

"Amitabha...; I have met His Highness the King of Chu." Master Zhiyong, dressed in purple cassock, is a kind-hearted and enlightened monk. The vertical beard on his chest is as white as snow, and the beads on his hand are exuding bursts of sandalwood. There was a fragrance, and not far behind him, a young novice monk was holding a long and narrow brocade box, bowing his head and standing respectfully.

"Ouch?! Master!" No matter how His Highness the King of Chu changes, his essence will not change. He has nothing to do these days. He is busy writing the letter of credence "Kind regards" to His Highness the King of Chu, Yibi Shekui Khan. , after meeting the key person who could connect him with Wang Xizhi, he was so enthusiastic that he said: "Master, I miss you day and night, what kind of wind brings you here? Disciple Sun, I really miss you. Damn you!"

"I don't dare—" Master Zhiyong didn't even say anything, but felt that his hands were empty, and then the string of Buddhist beads that had been with him for more than ten years had fallen into the hands of an unlucky disciple.

"Oh...Master..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu held the Buddhist beads in his hand, but his face was like a philistine: "Come when you come...what else should I give you as a gift? It should be your disciple and grandson who wants to show you something!" What... Master, my disciple knows that I have to accept this gift, otherwise you will feel guilty! But you can't feel guilty, right? In this way, my disciple will give you a glazed Buddha statue, um... Master Yu, Do you have a portrait of Master? Can you bring it to me? I’ll have someone carve a glass Buddha in Master’s likeness later!”

"This..." Yu Shinan originally wanted to get angry, but... seeing His Highness the King of Chu calling his master "Master" one after another, he knew that the other party did this to give him face as a teacher, so facing this He pretended not to notice the uncle's forcible search for Master's prayer beads... But now this uncle actually planned to give Master such a great gift in return... How should I put it, it quite surprised Yu Shinan.

"Your Highness, you can't do it! You can't do it!" Master Zhiyong had almost forgotten his purpose of coming: "Although I have been practicing for decades, my Taoism is shallow, how can I accept this great gift..."

"Alas!" His Highness the King of Chu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction after hearing this: "Master, how can you look down on yourself like this? What is this Buddha? The scriptures say that the Buddha has no appearance and only takes sentient beings as his appearance! In this case, Master, you You come from all sentient beings, and you have been practicing Buddhism for decades, so why can’t you cultivate the glazed form and become a free Buddha?” (Note 1)

"..." Above the main hall, after His Highness King Chu finished speaking, there was silence for a long time.

After a long while...

"Amitabha..." Master Zhiyong first said the Buddha's name, and then took out a small string of agate beads from his arms: "Since Your Highness has the Buddha's destiny, then the poor monk should naturally express it. This string of agate beads is A few years ago, my friend, a poor monk, gave it to me on his deathbed. It can be regarded as a Buddhist treasure, and I will give it to Your Highness today!”

"My disciple, thank you, master!" Upon hearing this, His Highness the King of Chu bowed respectfully, then took the string of beads with both hands, overjoyed.

On the side, Yu Shinan, looking at His Royal Highness the King of Chu who took away his master's two precious bead strings the first time they met, felt that... his palms seemed to have begun to ache...

How can I put it... Learning calligraphy from my master was an unforgettable memory...
