Chapter 233
Qiuguo Temple, the first temple in Chu State, is located on Luoqiu Mountain in the west of the imperial city.

Although it is located on Huangcheng Mountain in the north, Qiuguo Temple has obvious style characteristics of southern temples.Except for the main hall, there are yellow walls and green tiles, and red wooden carved doors and windows.On the bright yellow gate, there are still three golden characters of "Qiuguo Temple" written by the founding emperor of Chu State, revealing its simple, gorgeous and solemn atmosphere as the first temple.

In addition, most of the other temples in Qiuguo Temple have white walls and black tiles, and the pavilions are very high.The dead corners on the eaves of the temple are curved upwards.It does not have a neat and symmetrical grand pattern, but it has a random and chaotic charm.

After entering Qiuguo Temple and exiting the main hall, you can see the large lotus pond behind.It's summer now, and the saying "the lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun" is just the situation.

The lotus is a holy thing, and it has always been said that it "comes out of the mud without being stained". It is said in "Cong 42 Chapters": "I am a monk, and I am in a troubled world. I should be like a lotus, not polluted." Planted in Qiuguo Temple This large lotus pond is intended to allow people to live in the chaotic world like a lotus flower without being polluted by the world, to keep themselves clean and fragrant, to have a holy character like a lotus flower, and to develop the Buddha nature in people's hearts.

Ever since Chu Ci stepped into this land, he felt as if he had been infected by the atmosphere of the entire Qiuguo Temple, and his whole body was relaxed, immersed in a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere.

There is an octagonal pavilion in the center of the lotus pond. From a distance, you can see the colorful sleeve colors under the cover of green leaves and red flowers.

Chu Ci walked to the edge of the lotus pond, and as soon as his spiritual power was raised, he walked all the way on the green leaves, his clothes fluttered automatically in the absence of wind.

There was a sudden silence in the octagonal pavilion, and all the women unconsciously stopped their movements, and subconsciously held their breath and looked towards the direction Chu Cixing came from.

People who practice spiritual power have farther vision. They can see that on the pond with green leaves and red lotus, there is a person with long hair and a crown, with a noble and beautiful face, wearing a blue dress with complicated patterns on the sleeves but no other decorations. , with a jade flute across his waist, with flying tassels hanging from it, walking lightly on green leaves.

At that moment, they seemed to hear the sound of the pond full of lotus flowers blooming overnight and the sound of their own revived heartbeat at the same time.

The moment Chu Ci stepped onto the pavilion, he flicked his sleeves casually, nodded slightly to everyone present, and took the first seat by himself.

Wang Ruozhu also led the crowd to salute Chu Ci.

After everyone was seated, Chu Ci turned his attention to Wang Ruozhu, "Aside from admiring the lotus, what other arrangements does Miss Wang have for fun today?"

Wang Ruozhu stood up, bowed gracefully to Chu Ci, and replied with a smile:
"Back to the prince, Ruozhu is very honored to be able to invite the prince here. Naturally, he has made complete arrangements, and he will not disappoint the prince."

Chu Ci picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, pursed his lips and said, "We'll have to wait and see for that Ci."

"Hehe, I won't disappoint the lord," Du Mingqiu then stood up, pursing his lips and chuckled, "Sister Wang begged for a long time before I asked the chef from the Qiuguo Temple to get a lotus vegetarian meal for the lord. It must be The prince will definitely like it. Now it may take half an hour to enjoy it. If the prince has nothing to do, he can walk around at will. After the fast, we can come to recite poems and solitaire, and we will not lose the beauty of this good time."

Chu Ci nodded, "Thank you ladies for your kindness, it's a great honor."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ruozhu walked to Chu Ci's side, and said shyly, "I wonder if the prince can accompany Ruozhu to visit this huge Qiuguo Temple?"
