The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 220 Attack on White Horse Temple 2

There is a generation of the Tang Dynasty that respects yellow and purple as the most precious. Yutan is deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty, and also follows this example - yellow is a special color for the heavenly family, and people are not allowed to use it. As for purple, although in formal occasions, only three or more people can wear it, they are not forbidden to wear it, but people who wear purple are extremely Less, it's not that I'm afraid of making taboos, but because purple clothes are extremely expensive, but they must have an excellent temperament to match. Otherwise, there is a suspicion of bathing in monkeys. Not to mention the people, even the dignitaries in Chang'an City do not want to wear purple easily in daily life, so that this purple must have an outstanding temperament can show its dignity. Ordinary people wear it. It's just the Yixiao Fang family, but this rule does not work at all for Princess Mingyue. As for the effect, you can know it by looking at the stunned appearance of Li Xian and others.

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, and it's my concubine's past."

At Li Xian's stunned mouth, Princess Mingyue has been well-made to the front. She is blessed and meticulously conducts a court etiquette. Under the light opening of her red lips, the sound of pearls and jade has come out.

"It's okay. It's okay. I've just arrived. Since the princess is ready to stop, she will start."

Looking at the dignified Princess Mingyue in front of him, Li Xian was calm, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Just because he really didn't expect that once the little girl with a hot personality became serious, she would have hidden the temperament of the mother's world. The contrast between the people before and the people was so great, which made Li Xian secretly sigh at the fickleness of women. However, this is also in line with Li Xian's aesthetic point of view - go to the hall, enter the kitchen, um, of course, the most important thing is to enter the bridal chamber. Of course, this can only be thought in his heart at this moment, saying that it is absolutely impossible, Li Xian can only smile, one side, and sign Princess Mingyue got into the carriage first.

"Your Highness is at work."

Princess Mingyue obviously planned to be dignified to the end. She was blessed again. She stretched out her little hand and let Li Xian serve in the carriage. But before the curtain was put down, the little girl's face immediately showed a cunning smile, spitting out her little fragrant tongue, and said in Li Xian's ear, "Your Highness, you are not here. Why don't you secretly scold my concubine in your heart?"

"..."

Li Xian was speechless when he heard the words, but before he could think about how to answer this strange question, Princess Mingyue had stretched out her hand to put down the curtain and did not give Li Xian a chance to take revenge.

I'll go. This girl is really a changeable witch! Inadvertently, Princess Mingyue was put on another look. In addition to a bitter smile, Li Xian really didn't know what to say. Then he looked at the embarrasment of the close maids of honor waiting next to the car who wanted to laugh but dare not. Li Xian had no choice but to shrug his shoulders as if nothing had happened, turned over the horse's back, waved his hand, and ordered loudly. "Let's go!" With this order, the brigade made a sensation, escorting Princess Mingyue's carriage and went straight to the White Horse Temple outside the Nancheng Gate...

The people of Yutan believe in Buddhism and worship the Buddha devoutly. As the end of the year is approaching, there are many people who go to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and make wishes. Especially when there is a rumor that His Royal Highness the King of Zhou and Princess Mingyue will go to the White Horse Temple together, there are countless followers. In this early morning, there are already people outside the White Horse Temple. Like the sea, the guests and monks who are responsible for the order are all tired to spit out their tongues, but no one dares to be lazy. You should know that it is not an ordinary person, but the famous His Royal Highness the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty. In case something goes wrong in the reception, I'm afraid that the whole temple will have to eat and hang up. I haven't seen the giants in the temple such as the abbot and the temple. At present, they are all lined up outside the temple gate in a regular manner. No matter how hard the monks are, they can only support themselves.

"Here it comes, it comes!"

"Look, it's coming, it's finally coming!"

"Oh, that's His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, what a powerful individual, sharp!"

......

Countless onlookers gathered outside the temple waited from the sunrise to the sun approaching the middle, and finally waited for the arrival of Li Xian and his party. The curious people all discussed it randomly. Almost everyone's eyes fell on Li Xian, who was guarding the carriage. There was no way. Li Xian's tall figure matched with ** Shenjun Wu Compared with the lion horse at night, it is so eye-catching that it is difficult not to attract people's attention.

"Amitabha Buddha, the host of the poor monk Baima Temple, Zhixin led the monks of the whole temple to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty and His Royal Highness Princess Mingyue."

Seeing the convoy coming from afar, Master Zhixin's body couldn't help trembling slightly, and his hands trembled slightly as a result, but soon he calmed down his mood. When the convoy approached, Master Zhixin had calmly led the temple prison and other high-level monks to meet him. Go, proclaim the Buddha's name, and make a salute.

"Xiao Wang took the liberty to visit and caused trouble to the master."

Although Li Xian does not believe in Buddhism, in previous years, he often went to the temple to enter incense with Gao Zongwu. He was not unfamiliar with this way. At this time, he saw that Master Zhixin described Gao Gu, who was quite a monk, but he did not dare to underestimate him. He rushed to turn over and get off the horse's back, bowed his hand and was polite.

"I dare not, I dare not. Your Highness and the princess came together. It is really the glory of the temple. The poor monks have heard the name of Your Highness for a long time. Today, I can see that I am lucky in my life."

Master Zhixin took a small step back a little to show that he did not dare to accept Li Xian's gift. His long eyebrows were low, his face was full of flattering smiles, and he greeted politely. The flattery between his words was too traces, which made Li Xian couldn't help but mumble.

Well, is this old monk good at shooting horses? It's a pity not to go to the officialdom. Li Xian has also seen some senior monks in the past. Most of them are people who cherish words like gold. Even if they have words, most of them are concise and concise. They rarely flatter people because of the dignity of visitors. Li Xian is a little dislikable to such flattering behavior as Master Zhixin. However, there is not much to say about it. Li He can only smile and don't say much.

"Master Lao Zhixin has been waiting for a long time, but Mingyue is really sorry."

Just as Li Xian and Master Zhixin answered the salute, Princess Mingyue had been served by the maids and got off the carriage. At this time, Li Xian smiled and said no, Princess Mingyue immediately stepped forward, blessed Master Zhixin, and said a word, avoiding the cold scene without trace.

"I dare not, I dare not. Her Royal Highness's words are serious. The poor monks have prepared the Dharma. I respectfully invite Your Highness and the princess to join the meditation." Princess Mingyue also appeared, and the smile on Master Zhixin's face was a little brighter. He bowed and took a step back, and then waved his hand to signal Li Xian and Princess Mingyue to enter the temple.

"There is a master of labor." Princess Mingyue was blessed. After returning a gift, she said to Li Xianwei, "Your Highness, please go first."

"Well, master, please!"

Li Xian has always had an indifferent attitude towards the worship of Buddha and not to the Buddha. However, since it was the letter of Princess Mingyue, Li Xian was happy, but in his heart, he still hoped that this matter would be better early. He did not want to bother with red tape, so he nodded with a smile and walked to the temple gate first.

"Generals, please wait and don't be a knife soldier in Buddhism. Please understand one or two. It's better not to bring a knife into the temple."

Li Xian moved, Luo Tong, Liu Ziming and other accompanying guards naturally followed closely, but before everyone could take a few steps, they saw an old monk who had been silently following Master Zhixin suddenly stood up and blocked the way of the guards.

"Presumptuous!"

Liu Ziming believed in Buddhism, but Luo Tong was the master who only believed in his fists. When he saw that the old monk dared to stand in the way, he was so angry that he opened his mouth and shouted rudely. His hand was already on the handle of the knife, and he was about to draw a knife if he didn't agree.

"Hmm?"

Li Xian accompanied the Buddha many times, and had never seen a monk dare to stop the bodyguard. At this sight, the old monk stopped the way with an uncompromising face. Although his face was as calm as before, his eyes became sharp and he did not open his mouth. He just snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, Buddhism is a pure place, and it is really not appropriate for swords and soldiers to enter. In previous years, the lord of the country came here to enter incense, and it was also the same. Please forgive me." Seeing that Li Xian seemed to be very dissatisfied, Master Zhixin immediately showed a trace of panic on his face and hurriedly explained it.

"Well, if that's the case, the king should follow the customs when he enters the countryside. Luo Tong, Ziming, and the rest of the people will stay."

Li Xian was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at Princess Mingyue first. Seeing that Princess Mingyue nodded her head uncerily, she seemed to be invincible about this matter. Her doubts in her heart couldn't help but arose. After a little meditation, she decided to go inside to see what happened. This made Luo and Liu, the two most skilled guards with the highest martial arts. Accompanying.

"The last general is waiting to obey!"

Since Li Xian had already said something, Luo and Liu did not dare not disovehere. They answered the promise loudly, and then took off the knife on his waist and gave it to the other guards, one left and one right closely behind Li Xian and Princess Mingyue.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity, poor monks, etc., thank you very much, please!"

Seeing that a possible dispute was exposed, Master Zhixin was obviously relieved, hurriedly thanked, waved his hand, and gave Li Xian and Princess Mingyue to the mountain gate.

What does the old bald donkey want to do? Hey, let's wait and see! Seeing Master Zhixin's posture, Li Xian's doubts in his heart were a little more a little more, but he didn't care too much. He just quietly carried his hands behind his back and gave a signal to Luo Tong. Then Shi Shi Ran walked through the line of monks side by side with Princess Mingyue, walked into the mountain gate unhurriedly, and walked silently through the temple gate all the way. In the front small square, I entered the temple gate, passed through the Tianwang Hall, and came to the small square in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

"Your Highness, princess, please wait a moment, and let the poor monks open the hall to welcome you."

Master Zhixin, who always followed him with a smile, grabbed Li Xian in front of him, put his hands together, saluted respectfully, and said politely.

"You're in a good job."

Li Xian smiled indifferently and waved his hand to indicate that Master Zhixin was at his convenience.

"Amitabha, good, good."

After Master Zhixin announced the Buddha's name, he led the monks quickly to the Daxiong Treasure Hall. In addition to Li Xian and his party, there were only more than a dozen young monks not far away in the small square. Everything seemed to be extremely normal. Until Master Zhixin walked up the steps in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the change suddenly It happened...
