disguised holy monk

This wave of "Shocking to Heaven" missions was completed beautifully, not only for those present, but if they spread word of mouth in the future, the value of this merit will continue to grow.

Xuan Qing felt that the props and equipment were worth the money this time!

This wave of his operations is as fierce as a tiger, and the Buddha's light shines into people's hearts.It's a pity that some people are already prejudiced against him, the more popular he is, the more he arouses the darkness of the other party.

When all the dust settled, Xuan Qing's chanting had also ended.Then he got up slowly, left the lotus platform, took Wuxin step by step, and walked down the steps to the Buddha Heart Platform just like when he came.

Every time they reached the first floor, the remaining monks automatically followed behind them. When Xuanqing stepped out of the Buddha Heart Platform, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd below, all calling his name.

On the tower, the Holy Emperor, who was supposed to lead his ministers away at the end of the chanting, had already arrived at the gate of the palace city.

Seeing him, Xuan Qing was a little surprised, and hurriedly saluted with palms together.

The Holy Emperor stretched out his hand to support him, and laughed loudly: "Master Xuanqing is worthy of being a young divine monk. With such a high level of Buddhist practice, he should be the head of the monks in the Buddhist temple of my Southern Dynasty. He will surely infiltrate the brilliance and protect me in the Southern Dynasty."

Even after receiving such great praise from the Holy Emperor, Xuanqing's face showed no trace of arrogance. He chanted the Buddha's name, shook his head and said: "The Holy One has wrongly praised him, and the poor monk is ashamed."

Knowing that he was humble, the Holy Emperor didn't care. He brought him into the hall together, turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Fusheng, the dinner is about to start, so Master Xuanqing will sit by my side."

As soon as he said this, the officials were a little surprised, but when they thought about the shocking scene before, no one objected for a while, lamenting that the Holy One loves Master Xuanqing too much.

Only Xuan Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly declined, "My lord, this is unreasonable..."

He was too persistent, and finally the Holy Emperor asked someone to arrange a seat under him.

The rest of the people were seated separately, and Nan Shuxuan's black eyes were filled with smiles.On the other side, Nan Shuyan turned the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were foggy.

The dinner started, everyone pushed cups and changed cups, and then there was a gift performance. What Xuanqing brought was the tea leaves grown and picked by the monks themselves. Although the gift was light, it had a profound meaning, and the Holy Emperor was also in high spirits.

After all the princes had finished presenting their gifts, one of them looked at Xuanqing and said with a smile: "I heard that Master Xuanqing has practiced the superb skill of picking and brewing tea, and he has already reached the realm of 'Zen Tea and One Taste'. Do you have the good fortune to see the master's tea art?"

As soon as his words fell, the rest of the people were also aroused interest, even the Holy Emperor looked at him, "It just so happened that the master brought tea from Qingchan Temple, why don't you demonstrate it here?"

Xuan Qing glanced at the expectant eyes all around him. He led the monks in farming and planting for a period of time to practice, but it would be an exaggeration to say that he has developed superb skills.He glanced at Nan Shuyan's interested appearance, and guessed that the other party might have made a move.

But at this time, the Holy Emperor had already spoken, and it was impossible for Xuanqing to refuse.

He slowly got up and said with a smile, "The poor monk is just a layman, he can do whatever he wants, I'm afraid he doesn't have superb skills. But the poor monk is willing to make a pot of tea for the holy one."

While he was speaking, the eunuch next to the Holy Emperor had asked people to go down to prepare utensils, and soon a long table was lifted up in the open space in the middle of the main hall, with exquisite tea sets and tea leaves placed on it, and boiling water was burning on the small stove...

Xuanqing's loose monk robe fluttered, and he sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the table and began to make tea.

He has calm eyes, obviously he didn't do any superfluous movements, every move is just the routine steps of making tea, but when done by him, there is a clean and smooth taste.It's like a good picture scroll unfolding in front of you with splashed ink, which makes people understand that making tea is also a kind of meditation.

When Xuan Qingsu raised his hand lightly and poured the tea into the teacup, it was obviously just a cup of tea, but he felt that it was not just a cup of tea, it was full of Zen flavor.

Everyone stared at Xuanqing intently. With a smile on his eyebrows, he offered a cup of tea, "Xuanqing's monks should not drink alcohol. Today, I will use this tea to wish my sage a long and boundless life."

The Holy Emperor admired the incomparably beautiful "One Taste of Zen Tea", and now he was in a good mood, so he immediately asked someone to bring the tea up, and the two of them raised their hands to taste the cup of Zen tea.

The Holy Emperor put down his teacup, looked at Xuanqing and praised: "Master's tea has been integrated with Zen. It is upright, clear, harmonious, and elegant. It makes people aftertaste, and the tip of the tongue is fragrant."

Xuan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't make any tricks in making tea, but when he opened the Buddha's heart and integrated Zen, the tea would naturally be sublimated.

"When I was on the city tower earlier, I said that I would reward the master, but with this cup of Zen tea with the melodious charm of Buddha, I feel that those ordinary things are not worthy of the noble heart of the master..." It's just that the emperor's words are still Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed.

Everyone was still waiting for the next words of the Holy Majesty's reward, but there was no sound for a long time, and when they looked up, they were almost scared out of their wits.The holy emperor's face was pale and green at this time, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

"Holy!"

"There are assassins, protect the emperor!"...

For a while the scene became commotion.

"Father!" Nan Shuyu's face was already pale, and he gritted his teeth and rushed to the Holy Emperor.With a livid face, Nan Shuxuan kicked the person next to him, "Call the imperial doctor!"

Nan Shuyan's long eyebrows were condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to move, what about the imperial guards? Show the prince to see everyone in the room!"

Under the decisiveness of the two, the panic at the scene was quickly suppressed, but all the officials were trembling and did not understand why the sky had changed suddenly.

The situation of the Holy Emperor is not very good, I saw that he obviously seemed to be poisoned.Although the imperial doctor came very quickly, the poison was also very swift and violent. At this time, his face was already pale, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he was unable to speak.

The imperial physicians were in a hurry and could only stabilize the toxin first, and then move the person to the palace for treatment. Nan Shuyu hurriedly followed.

Xuanqing was also surrounded by the imperial guards at this time, he looked anxious, "Your Highness, the poor monk is quite skilled in medicine, why don't you let the poor monk take a look..."

It was only then that Nan Shuxuan remembered that Xuan Qing was also proficient in medical principles, and he quickly wanted someone to let him come over, but Nan Shuyan sneered and reprimanded: "Come on, take him down."

Nan Shuxuan frowned, and stopped him: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Nan Shuyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly, "Father was poisoned after drinking his tea just now. Naturally, I want to bring the suspect down for interrogation."

When he gave the order, everyone present was stunned. That was Master Xuanqing who was presiding over the chanting just now, so he became a suspect so quickly!The incident happened suddenly, and no one dared to speak easily.

Only Nan Shuxuan did not back down, "It is absolutely impossible to be Master Xuanqing, and besides, he is not the only one who has touched that cup of tea."

The eunuchs who were preparing the tea props were pale at this time, kowtowed on their knees and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, please forgive me, this servant really doesn't know what's going on!"

Xuan Qing was also a little anxious at this time, but what he was anxious about was not himself, but the Holy Emperor.

"Amitabha, Your Majesties, I'm afraid that the poison your Majesty has been poisoned by cannot be easily removed, please let the poor monk try it..."

Nan Shuyan's black eyes were cold and sharp, "With the best imperial doctor here, can the poison master who can't even be cured by the imperial doctor be able to solve it? What's more, the suspicion on you has not been cleared."

He said and ordered his servants, "Let the imperial doctor examine these things."

Xuan Qing had no choice but to wait in place.

The only downside was that the imperial physician had checked everything the Holy Emperor touched, and the poison was indeed in the broken teacup.

Nan Shuyan's black eyes were smeared with anger, and he slapped the table, "The evidence is convincing, you still haven't pleaded guilty?"

Xuan Qing was also a little surprised, his face was slightly pale, but his slender figure was straight, and he said righteously: "The poor monk is innocent, how can he plead guilty?"
