Because the temple will entertain nobles from the palace, the whole temple will not receive other pilgrims.

Gong tends not to believe in ghosts and gods. Even though she has already traveled through time, she still will not pin her destiny on gods and Buddhas.However, she is not the kind of overly arrogant person. Even though she does not believe in Buddhism, she still maintains a simple respect for religion.

In this era, common people are afraid of imperial power, and they are also afraid of gods and Buddhas, so for politicians, religion is also a resource.

The empress knew well the power of religion.

Gong Qing strolled in the temple, seemingly admiring this thousand-year-old temple, but in fact, what she was thinking in her heart was how to conquer it and make use of it.

Even in modern times, some hateful cults can still coax the believers to seek death and kill people with absurd teachings, not to mention that in this world, people still don't know how to use scientific knowledge to explain the wind and rain, lunar eclipse and earthquake. What about the era of phenomena?If Gong Qing intends to do something shocking to the world in the future, in order not to arouse the public's backlash, she'd better use the power of religion.

A little monk Mi was sweeping the floor. I don't know if he heard Gong Qing's footsteps, or he had seen the nobleman in the bright yellow phoenix robe from the corner of his eyes. The little monk Mi stopped his hands without looking up. Actions.He holds a broom in one hand and holds the other in a palm on his chest.

Amitabha.The little monk Mi said with lowered eyebrows.

Gong Qing didn't get angry because he didn't kneel down and salute, but put his hands together in front of his chest, and returned the salute with a gentle attitude.

After passing Xiaoseng Mi, Gong Qing continued to walk forward, passing a group of buildings.Further ahead there is a small pond with lotus flowers in it.

Gong Qing walked to the water's edge, and suddenly said to her back: You have already followed Ben Gong all the way, come out.

The most indispensable thing in the ancient temples is all kinds of big trees.After Gong Qing finished speaking, he waited for a while before a small nun emerged from behind a tree.Although she was wearing a nun's hat on her head, her black hair was protruding a little from the edge of the hat, which showed that she hadn't been shaved yet.

I lived in the nunnery over there, and I sneaked here secretly.The little nun twisted her fingers and said.

Of course monks and nuns cannot live together.There is also a nunnery in Longjue Temple, but the nunnery is on the mountain and is not open to the public.The little nun has been a vegetarian for many years, perhaps due to lack of nutrition, she looks very thin.She has a beautiful face, but her hands are very rough, probably used to heavy work.

Gong Qing smiled slightly: Seeing the girl, I can imagine the beauty of Concubine Lian back then.

The little nun's eyes widened suddenly.

Concubine Lian was Gaozong's concubine.From the perspective of people of this era, Gaozong was a good emperor, but it was a pity that he did not have many heirs.Otherwise, after his death, the throne would not fall on Emperor Qianqing.Emperor Qianqing had an absolute advantage because he was Gaozong's only son.However, Gaozong actually had a daughter.When he died, that daughter had just been born.It was Concubine Lian who gave birth to her.

Perhaps it was because Concubine Lian had offended too many people. When she gave birth, Emperor Gaozong was seriously ill, so she died of a hemorrhage; after she gave birth, Emperor Gaozong passed away, so her daughter was sent to Yunchao When they arrived at the nunnery, the dignified princess of a country was forced to live a life of poverty.

Looking at the skinny little girl in front of her, Gong Qing knew very well that the reason why some people spared her life and didn't let her go with her bleeding mother when she was born was not because of kindness, but because they treated her Concubine Lian's hatred made them want to continue torturing her.

The little girl is very poor.There is no doubt about it.

She is only 15 years old.

Seeing that Gong Qing pointed out her identity, the little nun looked at her with longing eyes in fear.

Pray for Yun Chao, this hat is too big, no one dares to invite you back to the palace.Gong Qing said the cruelest words with an invisible smile, and Ben Gong didn't have the courage.After all, if you go back to the palace, where there is a flood or drought, it is all your fault and this palace's fault.If it wasn't for your lack of sincerity in cultivation, how could God be angry and bring disasters?

A trace of anger flashed in the little nun's dazed and startled eyes.She hurriedly lowered her head pretending to be afraid, but Gong Qing had already noticed this.

Gong Qing walked up to the little nun and took off the hat from her head disrespectfully.The little nun's hair is fixed with a wooden hairpin.Gong Qing took the hairpin again.A head of withered yellow hair fell down.Gong Qing lifted the little nun's chin with the wooden hairpin in her hand.

Tsk tsk, it looks good.There was a kind of pity in Gong Qing's tone, as well as a kind of gloating. Did Concubine Lian offend Empress Dowager Xie at the beginning?She is dead, and the debt she owes needs to be repaid slowly by you.Guess how the Empress Dowager Xie will deal with you?Let Ben Gong think about it carefully, you are already 15 years old, if you are not old alone in front of the Buddha, then it is time to book a marriage.And dear, how is it?

The little nun could feel that the sharper part of the wooden hairpin was touching her chin.She was forced to raise her head.
