Records of the King of Xin'an County

The location of Yinchan Temple is extremely remote, and it is not easy to find it.He Cheng led sister Wang Luoniang and several servants around the Nanshan Mountains for three or four days, but there was still no news.Because it was inconvenient to spend the night in the wild with their two young ladies, they had to find a nunnery or a Taoist temple for lodging. Their journey was not fast.Fortunately, after asking several hosts and viewers, I finally found the whereabouts of this temple.

This temple is located in the middle of the cliff, built in the air and connected by plank roads, it is extremely small and dangerous.From a distance, several Buddhist halls are located in excavated caves, only the doors and pillars outside are exposed.He Cheng left Buqu and his servants in the dense forest outside the temple, protecting Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang as they walked carefully along the plank road.

The mountain wind howled, and the plank road shook and creaked.The faces of the two little ladies became extremely pale, as if they had lost most of their strength in an instant.There are many old and damaged places on this plank road, and it seems that it has not been repaired for a long time.If it breaks suddenly, the three of them will only end up in pieces, and it will be very difficult to even collect the corpses.

Wang Xiangniang moved a few steps, and her eyes fell on the bottom of the cliff.The bottom of the cliff is not flat, and a stone platform can be seen protruding obliquely, and under the stone platform is a cliff more than ten feet high.Trees are planted around the stone platform, and a corner of the eaves protrudes faintly, which seems to be another small remote temple.

I am afraid that no one knows how many temples are hidden in Nanshan.Perhaps there are more remote places than Yinchan Temple and the temples below.Wang Xiangniang didn't have time to take a closer look, so she followed behind Wang Luoniang step by step, and finally arrived at the Buddhist hall of Yinchan Temple.The cave where the Buddhist hall is built is very spacious, and there are no more than a dozen monks in it, all of whom are chanting scriptures and doing evening classes with their eyes closed.

The three waited for a while, and the old mage sitting in the middle finally opened his eyes.He is older than Master Xuanhui, and his eyes are full of wisdom and compassion.Without waiting for them to explain why they came, he said, "Amitabha, the three Tanyues came just in time. Yuan Wu will leave tomorrow, and he is probably chanting sutras in the dormitory. However, the dormitory is full now. After seeing him, The three of you will go to the nearby monastery to stay overnight."

Wang Luoniang thanked him, and pulled out the gemstones from her bun to use as money for sesame oil.Wang Xiangniang also took off the jade pendant and bracelet, and sincerely begged for an ever-burning lamp for Aniang Zeng.Then, they followed a young novice to meet Yuan Wu (Wang Zimu) in the dormitory.After passing through several caves, the little novice walked quickly and disappeared suddenly. They were about to speed up their pace to catch up, but they saw a big and sturdy man walking towards them at a brisk pace.

This person was shrouded in a ferocious aura, and a scar between his eyebrows slanted downwards, cutting half of his face, making him look extraordinarily murderous.He looked at the three boys and girls who appeared to be from extraordinary backgrounds in front of him, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Where did you find this kind of ruined temple to pray to God and Buddha?!"

"It's just that I heard that Yinchan Temple is very effective, so I came here to pray for my family." He Cheng immediately spread his arms to protect Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang, and his eyes fell on the dagger at the waist of the strong man.The Wang family sisters also instinctively felt that this person was extremely dangerous, so they stepped back a few steps, almost hiding themselves beside the Buddha statue in the cave.The lifelike Buddha statue looked down, as if seeing them in its eyes, but also as if it had never seen anything.

The strong man put his hand on the dagger slowly, and was about to ask again, when suddenly he heard a Buddha's call: "Amitabha, the pure land of Buddhism, Tanyue should also calm down." Several people turned their heads and saw a A young monk was walking slowly barefoot, with a handsome and peaceful face, as if he would not change color when facing anyone or anything.

The strong man snorted softly, looked at them meaningfully, then turned and left.The young monk uttered the Buddha's name to his back, and then looked up at Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang who were already in tears.There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, and then he became extremely calm again: "There are no more huts in the temple, the three Tanyues should leave earlier."

"I heard that you want to travel around?" Wang Luoniang continued, looking at the healing and unhealing wounds on his bare feet, her heart ached already, "Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous to leave alone?"

"Amitabha, I have never experienced any kind of tempering, so I should imitate my master and walk thousands of miles to realize the supreme Buddha Dharma." The young monk said.He twirled the beads in his hand, and his eyes fell on He Cheng very calmly: "Three Tanyues, please leave."

He Cheng was keenly aware of something and nodded slightly.Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang were still waiting to talk, but the young monk couldn't refuse and said: "Young monk will send you out of the temple." After saying that, he led the way, and his pace was a little faster.The little novice monk who disappeared just now appeared out of nowhere, followed behind him with a sullen face, and looked back secretly from time to time.

Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang shuddered, looked at each other, and immediately followed.He Cheng was at the end and was about to follow when he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

The burly man just now actually went back and forth, and there were several strong men with the same vicious spirit behind him: "Hey, it's not easy to come here to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha. How can the little monk keep a straight face?" How about driving them away? Seeing that the sky is getting dark, if we encounter wolves, tigers and leopards while walking at night, wouldn’t these two delicate ladies be frightened?”

Several pairs of cold eyes stared at them like hungry wolves in the mountains.The man with the scar on his face grinned: "A dozen or so of us brothers can vacate a hut if we squeeze together. Little monk, let them live in the temple for a few days, so that their dreams can be fulfilled." Filial piety! Hehe!!"

He Cheng and the Wang family sisters knew in their hearts that these strong men were all vicious, with evil spirits all over their bodies, and they must all be villains with several lives in their hands.They should have some plans, so they are not allowed to leave, so as not to expose their whereabouts.But there are at least a dozen or so monks in Yinchan Temple, and it is very easy to get away when fighting. If they attract others' attention, it will be very disadvantageous to what they do.Moreover, this place is a pure place of Buddhism after all, presumably they would not dare to kill innocent people at will in front of gods and Buddhas.

Yuan Wu (Wang Zimu)'s plan to let them leave failed, so he had to inform the host again.The host gave a long sigh, and asked the monks to allocate a hut farthest away from the strong men for the sisters of the Wang family to live in.That night, no one fell asleep, as if they had been waiting for something to happen.

In the middle of the night, a fire lit up at the bottom of the cliff, which lasted for a long time, and there was still a faint and miserable cry.In the empty Yinchan Temple, the sounds of knocking wooden fish and chanting scriptures gradually sounded.But Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang hugged each other tightly, looking at the slowly beating light outside the window, not daring to make any noise.

Not to mention what vicious villains the Wang family sisters and He Cheng encountered, in Chang'an City tens of miles away, Wang Zixian pressed his brows and said in a deep voice to Buqu: "Although Nanshan is big, a temple that attracts cicadas should I can find it. If it’s really impossible, go to the Temple of Ci’en and ask carefully. It’s about the safety of Luoniang and Xiangniang, and Master Xuanhui should not be stingy in telling the location of Yinchan Temple.”

Bu Qu repeatedly agreed and left quietly.Wang Zixian turned his head to look at Li Hui, and smiled wryly: "I never imagined that even a man as stable as He Cheng would agree to Luo Niang's request. But Mr. actually messed around with them and helped them hide it."

If old Fu's mother, A Nuo, hadn't sent someone to look for him, he still wouldn't have known that his sister would dare to spend the night outside at will and never return!In the end, I went to find He Cheng and Mr. Song, but Mr. Song said that the character of the second disciple was trustworthy, and it must have been delayed by something, so it doesn't matter.Now three or four days later, Mr. Song finally let go and said that they went to Nanshan.I don't know if the two little ladies will encounter any danger. As the eldest brother, he really needs to discipline them well.

"He Cheng is definitely not a reckless person." Li Hui comforted, "Didn't he bring a lot of servants with him? Since he is protected, he shouldn't encounter too much danger in Nanshan." For dozens of miles, many honorable families have built summer manors nearby, and even the royal family has a palace on the mountain.The mountains are full of incense, and the population is not rare. Compared with the vast Qinling Mountains, it is much better.

"When they come back, they have to be taught a good lesson." The prince sighed, "It seems that I can't entrust all of them to Fu Mu." The lady doesn't have a good impression of them, and it is already benevolent to teach them with all their heart, so naturally they will not be caring and considerate in everything.What are they thinking, and how persistent they are about Wang Zimu's returning to secular life, they still need to explain it frankly.

Now that he has chosen to assume the responsibility of the elder brother, it is too perfunctory to just choose a good son-in-law to marry them off, and just let them learn etiquette and take care of household affairs with Fu's mother - family affection is brewed over time. out.If it was in the past, he would definitely feel that he has done everything he should do.But after getting along for several months, thinking of his two younger sisters, it was impossible for him to be as indifferent as before.

Seeing that his mood had calmed down a bit, Li Hui told him that the case of Imperial Doctor Yao was coming to an end: "For some reason, King Peng persuaded several princesses to intercede for Princess Anxing. King Jing has always Nothing came out of the interrogation, Yao Xiaolang's isolated evidence is not enough to be believed, and his uncle must not be able to stop it. It should be tomorrow, Princess Anxing will be sent back to the princess mansion." Everyone understands that the princess Anxing will be sent back to the princess mansion. The government is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but it has to accept the reality of failure.

"She will definitely not be reconciled, and she doesn't know what countermeasures she will use." After saying that, it seemed that something slipped through the corner of her thoughts for a moment.Li Hui was startled, and couldn't help but frowned: Nanshan?What does he seem to be ignoring?However, no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't remember it.

————————————————————————————————————————

The next day, the sage took a Buyu and brought several clan princes and the eldest princess to the side hall where the eldest princess Anxing was under house arrest.Although it has been closed for nearly ten days, Princess Anxing's complexion is still rosy, and her casual attitude is no different from before.

Seeing everyone coming, she raised the corners of her mouth and saluted the saint and the elders: "What? Is the case over? The saint is here to return my innocence?"

"These days, I have wronged my sister." The sage followed her words and said with sincerity on his face, "Although I have no selfish intentions, I only want to protect the reputation of my sister and the royal family, but in the end I still let my sister Suffering. In order to make up for my sister, I have asked Zitong to prepare five thousand gold, silk and satin from the new tribute, and several carts of fine wine from the Western Regions. When my sister and brother-in-law go back, I will bring these with me, so that I can live happily It will be raised for a while."

What he said made the faces of the elder princesses who didn't know the truth a lot easier.The eldest princess Anxing smiled, with a sarcasm, and before stabbing him a few more words, a keen eldest princess said first: "It's also that Xi Niang has done a little absurd these years, the saint's The reaction is also reasonable. Now that the case has been clarified and Xi Niang has been wronged, she should be compensated. Tomorrow I will send someone to send you some tops from the bottom of the box for you to wear."

Seeing this, the other eldest princesses also casually gave away valuable jewelry, clothing, etc., all of them were extremely generous.As uncles, King Jing, King Peng, and King Lu naturally couldn't be stingy, so they gave three thousand gold to two thousand gold according to the value of the gift they gave.

In a blink of an eye, Princess Anxing won [-] to [-] gold for nothing, which really opened Li Hui's horizons.Sure enough, almost every one of these elders made extraordinary moves.And for a junior like him, there is no need to mention anything, just stand in the corner obediently.

Because of his low seniority, Yue King Li Heng was the last one to give gifts.He smiled and said: "Xiniang has indeed been wronged. As an older brother, I can't get over my uncle, so I will give you [-] gold to surprise you. Besides, I've been quite fond of tea recently, and I have collected a lot of good ones. The tea will also be brought to you."

Princess Anxing glanced at him with a half-smile: "Second brother's gift, I can't stand it."

The sharp meaning in her words made everyone startled.Li Heng's expression also changed slightly: "Xiniang, I just have good intentions—"

Princess Anxing interrupted him and laughed loudly: "'Good intentions'? I can't bear such 'good intentions'!! Who exactly framed me and wanted to get me involved in this case? Countless! Oh, presumably, some people think that I know something, so they want to use a knife to kill people? It's a pity that innocent people are innocent, and people with ulterior motives can't deceive everyone forever!"

The author has something to say: Saint: Sister, I will give you five thousand gold + all kinds of silk and satin + fine wine from the Western Regions for your mental damage. Do you feel better?

Princess Anxing: Heh...

Princesses: The jewelry at the bottom of the box is for you to wear as you like! !

King Jing: I will send three thousand gold!

King Peng: I also have three thousand gold!

King Lu: Let me give you two thousand gold!

Saint: →→, Sister, do you feel better after paying so much mental damage?

Princess Anxing: What do you think?

Saint: →→, well, it should get better.

Prince of Xin'an County: (⊙o⊙), money is really easy to make, and you can get [-] to [-] gold in minutes.

Prince Tianshui: (★ω★), I also want to be imprisoned for ten days... no, 30 days! ! ! ! ! ! !

Prince Xin'an: ...
