Chapter 45

When Shen Wangshu said she couldn't go to Shen's house, Lu Yiqing naturally wouldn't force her. She said she wanted to go to Xiangguo Temple, so Lu Yiqing could only follow her. However, it was difficult for her to refuse Shen Wangshu's request.

Pushing and hustling, delaying for a few days, Shen Wangshu regained his energy and led Lu Yiqing out.

The carriage rattled and carried people to the Xiangguo Temple outside the city.Lu Yiqing in the carriage was a little restless, and wanted to make a final struggle: "I don't believe in these strange things, Wang Shu, if you want to worship Buddha, I'll wait for you outside, okay?"

Shen Wangshu didn't give her a chance to refuse, and after taking a deep look at her, he said, "I didn't go to Xiangguo Temple to worship Buddha. I heard that Master Mingwu is now staying at Xiangguo Temple. I want to listen to his lectures, and I also want to see him." When I see you, how about Ah Qing staying with me?" It was an inquiry, but there was no room for Lu Yiqing to refuse, and the eyes of those beautiful eyes made people feel soft and wanted to agree.

Lu Yiqing nodded in a daze, only to belatedly realize that she had been tricked by a beauty.She bit her lower lip annoyed, and then asked in a compromising manner: "Wang Shu, is that Mingwu master... very powerful?"

Yiqing has read many novels, and those who can get in touch with the protagonist are probably true masters.She doesn't know if she is the protagonist now, but there is such a number one character in the novel, so it is obvious that people cannot take it lightly.She felt a little uneasy, but it was inconvenient to say it out loud. She looked at Shen Wangshu eagerly, but she knew what the answer would be.

Sure enough, Shen Wangshu said: "Master Mingwu is naturally a powerful person. He was abandoned outside the temple gate when he was born. After he was taken in by the monks in the temple, he taught enlightenment with Buddhist scriptures. He can recite at the age of three and recite it at the age of five. At the age of eight, he was able to comment on scriptures and Taoism with others. At the age of 14, he began to travel around several countries, learning scriptures and giving lectures until today, and he can be called the No. 1 Buddhist school in Daliang."

After listening to the science popularization, Lu Yiqing's heart sank for a while, and Shen Wangshu said again: "Some people say that he knows it from birth, but it is the reincarnation of Buddha."

This is an exaggeration, but in Lu Yiqing's ears, there is a "bang", and the other half of her heart is also shattered--the name is called so loudly, it does not sound like a liar, she stood in front of people , won't really be seen?

Shen Wangshu saw that Lu Yiqing's complexion was not very good after finishing speaking, and asked, "Ah Qing, what's wrong with you, your complexion is so ugly?"

Lu Yiqing calmed down when she heard the question, rubbed her face again and smiled: "It's nothing, I just thought of other things and lost my mind for a while." Chazhan took a sip, as if trying to cover up something.But he didn't notice that he took the wrong teacup in a trance for a while, and drank the cup that Shen Wangshu had already drunk.

Shen Wangshu obviously noticed, and slightly parted her red lips to remind her, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up.However, Lu Yiqing's gaffe was clearly seen by her, and a moment of deep thought flashed in her clear eyes.

After that, the two of them didn't mention Master Mingwu again, and some gossip made Lu Yiqing gradually relax.

Chang'an City is not small. Although Xiangguo Temple is on the outskirts of the city, it took more than an hour for the carriage to go all the way.Lu Yiqing felt a little sore in the carriage, no matter how exquisite the carriage is these days, it has wooden wheels, no rubber and no shock absorption, even a small stone on the flat road will have to be bumped violently.When the carriage arrived at Xiangguo Temple, Lu Yiqing began to doubt his ambition to go northwest.

Shen Wangshu was helped out of the carriage by her, and seeing that she was still staring at the wheels of the carriage, he subconsciously followed suit.It's just a good wheel, naturally Shen Wangshu couldn't see any problem, so he asked: "Ah Qing, what are you looking at?"

Lu Yiqing blinked and replied, "I'm looking at profitable business."

Shen Wangshu has heard this a lot recently, and silently looked away when she heard the words—it seems that Lu Yiqing has been thinking about making money since she told Lu Yiqing that they would lose 10 taels when they moved from Chang'an .She could see money in everything she looked at, as if she was looking for money. If she didn't know, she thought that the Lu family was in decline, and she didn't have a place for her next meal.

Of course, the Lu family is not like this. In fact, even if the Lu family closes all their businesses now, the remaining cash will be enough for their family of three to live comfortably for several lifetimes.It's just that Lu Yiqing's heart is bigger now, the more he wants to do, the more he needs money support.

Fortunately, Lu Yiqing withdrew his mind after saying this, and led his daughter-in-law to look up, seeing the quaint and majestic gate of Xiangguo Temple, he hesitated again.As for the matter of transforming the carriage to make money, it disappeared completely from her mind in an instant.

Shen Wangshu didn't seem to notice her emotional change, and took the lead: "Let's go, let's go into the temple to have a look."

****************************************************************************

Lu Yiqing said that she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but Shen Wangshu doesn't really believe in them either.She grew up reading the books of sages, and the phrase "the child does not talk, the power and the gods confuse the gods" has long been deeply engraved in her mind, and praying to gods and Buddhas is nothing more than seeking peace of mind in her opinion.

However, it’s all here, and you have to worship the gods and Buddhas in the hall, not only you have to worship, but you have to pay money.

Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple, and the royal rituals are also held here. I want to know how high it will be held by those princes and nobles.What's more, Master Mingwu is now in Xiangguo Temple. After the two phases are superimposed, it is obviously not easy to see Master Mingwu in Xiangguo Temple.For ordinary people, the only chance to meet is probably when Master Mingwu lectures in public.

Lu Yiqing and Shen Wangshu have no status to mention, but they have one more advantage over ordinary people, that is, they are rich.And if there is money to open the way, even people from outside the Xiangguo Temple will give some convenience if they receive more sesame oil money.

When the two came out from the main hall, there was a young novice by his side, and while guiding them, he said: "Two benefactors, come with the little monk, Master Mingwu is receiving distinguished guests in the meditation room, and the time should be over. "

Hearing this, Lu Yiqing leaned into Shen Wangshu's ear and whispered: "Look, Wangshu, does Master Mingwu seem to be working for Xiangguo Temple for nothing? We paid so much money to buy a meeting with Xiangguo Temple." , Master Mingwu still has to go back and forth to receive him. I don’t know if the honored guest before was a real honored guest, or if we are all ‘believers’ who spent money to meet people just like us.”

Shen Wangshu heard that she was speaking outrageously, so he secretly twisted her waist and gave her an unfriendly look.

It was the first time Lu Yiqing was treated like this, and almost jumped up from the spot.At any rate, he was still worried about the little novice who was leading the way in front of him, so he managed to hold back without losing his composure, but he looked at Shen Wangshu not only with grievances, but also with accusations.

Shen Wangshu turned a blind eye to this, and still walked at a leisurely pace.

Master Mingwu's status in Xiangguo Temple is obviously not low, the little novice led the two of them for a quarter of an hour before they came to a meditation room.Although this meditation room is secluded, it has been repaired very delicately.The old tree and stone table in the small courtyard outside the meditation room is also very good for entertaining guests.However, the previous distinguished guests obviously haven't left yet, and they are not receiving them outside, so the door of the meditation room is still closed at this moment.

Seeing this, the little novice scratched his head, a little embarrassed.Naturally, it was impossible for him to disturb Master Mingwu's hospitality, and he was about to ask the two of them to sit down at the stone table for a while, when he heard a soft "squeak" from the door of the meditation room, but it happened to open.

People in the meditation room came out one after another.In the first place was an old lady dressed in rich and noble clothes, accompanied by two young girls, who looked like grandparents by their appearance.As the three walked out, they turned their heads and politely talked to the people behind them.And the one who followed the three of them was a middle-aged monk wearing a yellow monk's robe, presumably the legendary Master Mingwu.

Lu Yiqing couldn't help but linger on the monk for a while longer - she heard Shen Wangshu praise this master of enlightenment as rare in the world, and thought she would see a young and handsome monk, but what she saw was a handsome monk. A mediocre middle-aged monk.If it wasn't for the kindness and gentleness in his body, making people amiable, he would really be thrown in the crowd and couldn't be found.

Just looking at his appearance, this Master Mingwu didn't look like an expert, and Lu Yiqing was inexplicably relieved when he saw it.

On this side Lu Yiqing was attracted by Master Mingwu, but on the other side Shen Wangshu took the initiative to take two steps forward.Lu Yiqing thought she was going to meet Master Mingwu, but she saw her salute Yingying to the old lady who came out: "Wang Shu met grandma."

Lu Yiqing was stunned, even though he didn't know the other party, seeing Shen Wangshu's attitude, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.Xin Dao this is really a coincidence, a few days ago Shen Wangshu just refused to go back to the Shen family, but unexpectedly met the Shen family in this Xiangguo Temple.

She thought about this, and waited, but she didn't wait for the old lady in front of her to respond, and when she raised her eyes a little, she saw a piece of clothes slipping past her eyes - Old lady Shen didn't make a sound, as if she didn't even see them , passed in front of the two of them!

Lu Yiqing didn't expect such a situation, he looked up in a daze, and what he saw was of course the back of Mrs. Shen without turning her head.On the contrary, a young girl supporting her looked back, but the other party looked at her and Shen Wangshu with no kindness in his eyes, and the eyes of the other party were full of contempt, ridicule and gloating.

Frowning slightly, Lu Yiqing subconsciously turned around to look at Shen Wangshu: "Wangshu..."

Shen Wangshu had also stood up straight at this time, but there was no joy or anger on his face, and he smiled at Shanglu Yiqing's worried eyes: "It's okay, I just met by chance, just to say hello."

Lu Yiqing pursed her lips, but her brows furrowed even tighter.A little bit of distress filled her heart, making her even want to impulsively hug him into her arms to comfort her——the Shen family treated Shen Wangshu with such an attitude.So this is the reason why she didn't want to say goodbye to her family even when she was far away?If that's the case, it would be better not to see it.

Shen Wangshu seemed to see through her mind, raised his hand and tapped lightly on the center of her frowning brows: "Okay, I'm really fine." After speaking, he turned around and smiled apologetically at Master Mingwu: " It’s really rude and made the master laugh.”

Master Mingwu naturally said "no problem", but his eyes fell on Lu Yiqing early on.
