The daily life of the bandits in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 112 The things in the wooden box

"Amitabha, you are indeed a poor monk." Xuanzang returned and bowed, "I didn't expect to meet the princess here. It seems that the poor monk came here because of fate. This way, the cause and effect of a village can be broken."

Chu Yang and Concubine Yang were a little puzzled when they heard Xuanzang's words.

Why is cause and effect involved again?

At this time Master Xuanzang said again: "Princess, I have something for you."

He said, putting his hands into his sleeves.

"Wait" Chu Yang suddenly shouted.

"If Master Xuanzang belongs to your Buddhist school, I will reject it for Concubine Yang."

He was afraid that the monk would pay attention to something else, such as giving something, bribing Concubine Yang, and asking Concubine Yang to speak for him, which is not acceptable.

Of course, Concubine Yang could not help Xuanzang persuade Chu Yang to go to Tianzhu, she still wanted to slowly develop a relationship with Chu Yang.

Xuanzang nodded when he heard Chu Yang's words: "Benefactor Chu, don't worry, the poor monk is just returning something, it's not our property."

"Master, I don't have anything to lend you. Did you make a mistake?"

Concubine Yang was very curious, she really couldn't think of anything in Xuanzang's place, when the Sui Dynasty was still alive, she just accompanied Empress Xiao to burn incense and worship Buddha.

At this time, Master Xuanzang put on his shoes, stood up, put his palms together and said to Concubine Yang:
"Princess, you don't have anything with me. In fact, there is one thing with me. To be precise, Empress Xiao gave it to the presiding abbot, and then the presiding abbot gave it to the poor monk."

Listening to Master Xuanzang's wordy words, Chu Yang's mind was a little confused.

What are you talking about?
After talking for a long time, I didn't hear anything.

He was afraid that Master Xuanzang would be chattering again, so he hurriedly asked:

"Mage, just tell me what the object is, don't talk too much."

Concubine Yang was very embarrassed when she heard Chu Yang's words. She was quite familiar with Xuanzang. After all, the Pure Land Temple where Xuanzang became a monk was a royal temple, and she would often accompany Empress Xiao to worship Buddha.

In fact, Chu Yang had restrained his temper a lot, otherwise he would have lost his temper if he was as verbose as Xuanzang.

"The poor monk has a small wooden box given by Empress Xiao back then. She originally intended to give it to the Yang family's grandson, but it is already impossible now. Now the poor monk returns it to the princess. Let's forget about the cause and effect."

After Master Xuanzang finished speaking, he took out a palm-sized wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Concubine Yang. The wooden box was tied with a key.

"Master Xuanzang, when did the queen mother give this wooden box to the presiding abbot? Why did she do that?"

Concubine Yang was very curious, she didn't know why Empress Xiao had any intentions.

Master Xuanzang said the Buddha's name, and said:

"Ten years ago, when your father went to Jiangdu, Empress Xiao came to worship Buddha before leaving, and entrusted this object to the presiding abbot for safekeeping. , I will hand it over to the grandson Yang You or Yang Yu, as for Empress Xiao's intentions, the poor monk does not know, and the princess needs to figure it out."

"Well, thank you Master for keeping it for so long. If there is a chance in the future, Xuanxuan will definitely go to the Pure Land Temple to worship Buddha again."

"Amitabha, the princess doesn't need to worry about it. The presiding over the abbot's safekeeping of this object is also a kindness to repay Queen Xiao's incense money."

Chu Yang grinned when he heard the incense money.

Just say that you can do things with money, but insist on doing things with incense money.

This made him very contemptuous, and he was still a layman just like him.

While San was talking about the wooden box, the servants Sister Zhao and Sister Liu had already put the breakfast on the table.

Chu Yang glanced at the breakfast, and said to Concubine Yang:

"Sister Yang, let's have breakfast, do you want Master Xuanzang to join us?"

"Amitabha, respect is worse than obedience."

Chu Yang didn't expect Xuanzang to agree, he asked casually, but his meaning was obvious, we are going to eat, Master, you can leave, and finally agreed to have dinner together.

Under normal circumstances, this is the case, but Master Xuanzang is not an ordinary person. He has extremely strong willpower, and he has a tendency to stick to the end.

After Chu Yang had finished his breakfast, Xuanzang still had no intention of leaving, which made Chu Yang stumped. This acquaintance of an acquaintance is really hard to deal with, and besides, Concubine Yang was listening to Xuanzang's talk Dharma, he is so embarrassed to drive people away.

Out of sight and out of mind, he looked at Concubine Yang.

"Sister Yang, I'm going out for a while."

After he finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave. At this time, Master Xuanzang also stood up.

"Princess, let's stop here today."

"Hey, mage, aren't you going to talk?" Chu Yang suddenly stopped, half-up.

"The poor monk is willing to follow the benefactor of Chu like a shadow. Wherever the benefactor of Chu goes, the poor monk will go there." Master Xuanzang folded his hands towards Chu Yang.

Chu Yang finally felt that this monk was difficult to deal with. He didn't talk too much, but accepted death, like a dog's skin plaster.

It is useless to beat him, and it is useless to scold him.

"Okay, whatever you want."

After Chu Yang finished speaking, he walked towards the door, followed by Master Xuanzang.

Just after Xuanzang went out, Chu Yang dodged and turned back.

'bump'!
The door was closed at once.

Xuanzang was left with a dazed face, he never expected that Chu Yang would do this trick to him.

Chu Yang who returned to the courtyard laughed loudly and said:
"Master Xuanzang, go back to the inn, tomorrow will come."

"Amitabha." Xuanzang uttered the Buddha's name, and left with neither joy nor sorrow.

It seemed that he didn't care about Chu Yang's actions at all.

And Chu Yang returned to the living room with his hands behind his back with a proud face. At this time, all the people in the villa were already having breakfast.

Seeing that Chu Yang came back again, he was very puzzled, why he turned back just after leaving the house.

"Sir, don't you want to go around?" The eldest grandson Wugou, who was eating fried dough sticks, looked at Chu Yang.

"Don't go now, where is Concubine Yang?" Chu Yang glanced at Concubine Yang and asked.

He is now thinking about the treasure in Concubine Yang's wooden box.

"Sister Yang Concubine, I just went upstairs, I should go back to my room." Qiu Yun went downstairs first, just as Concubine Yang went upstairs after breakfast.

"Okay, you guys eat, I'll go up and have a look."

After Chu Yang finished speaking, he ran upstairs. Everyone in the living room felt that Chu Yang was abnormal.

The eldest grandson Wugou looked at the servant Liu Ermei, "Sister Liu, what happened this morning?"

"Ah, yes." Second Sister Liu nodded and recounted what happened in the morning.

They were all surprised that the monk was actually Xuanzang.

After Chu Yang went upstairs, he pushed open Concubine Yang's bedroom door, which was not locked. When he entered the room, he saw Concubine Yang sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a letter in her hand, staring at the letter paper with bright beautiful eyes.

On the bedside table, the simple and antique wooden box carved with auspicious clouds has been opened at this moment, and there is still a golden key lying inside.

He didn't disturb Concubine Yang, but gently fell on Concubine Yang's bed, holding the back of his head with both hands, and waited quietly.
