Besides, on the day when the main hall was completed, King Miaozhuang personally went to the mountain to pay homage to the Great Compassion Bodhisattva for his reconstruction.
While burning incense and kowtow, I cannot help but look at the Bodhisattva's Dharma. This look really reveals the "fault"——
First of all, the eldest princess Miaoqing said, "The appearance of the Great Compassion Bodhisattva is very similar to the third sister Miaoyin."
Next, the second princess Miaoyuan said, "She looks exactly like the third sister."
Immediately afterwards, all the civil and military officials who had seen Miaoyin said in unison, "The Great Compassion Bodhisattva looks very much like the Three Emperors Aunt."
King Miaozhuang didn't care at first, but later when he saw everyone saying this, he couldn't help but look at it carefully.
He felt they looked more and more alike, so he asked Su Yugui, "Prime Minister Su, what is going on?" Su Yugui said, "Your Majesty, I have never seen what the three emperors' aunts look like. I only know the woman who calls herself the Great Compassion Bodhisattva." That's what it looks like. This statue was modeled according to the portrait he drew from memory in advance, but it didn't quite look like it in some places. There is a red beauty mark between the two eyebrows of the Great Compassion Bodhisattva, and the craftsman not only made it It’s a little bigger, and it’s not dyed red…”
King Miaozhuang asked someone to take the portrait and take a look at it. He couldn't believe his eyes. He felt that it was not so much a painting as the reincarnation of the Third Princess.
From hair, eyebrows to beauty spots, from facial features to eyes, everything is lifelike and lifelike.
As the saying goes: Treasures are the same, people are similar. But there are probably some people who even have trouble distinguishing the true from the false, even their own parents and sisters.
If so, they must be twins. The Great Compassion Bodhisattva and the Three Emperors Aunt were not born from the same mother, let alone twins.
Since they look the same, could they be the same person?
What's more, the crazy Taoist once said that it would take the hands and eyes of his own flesh and blood to bring King Miaozhuang back to life!
King Miaozhuang thought about it and felt that the Great Compassion Bodhisattva could never be Miaoyin, the third emperor's aunt, because not only had she been strangled to death a few years ago, but her body had also been eaten by tigers.
As the saying goes: Death is like a lamp going out, like soup splashing snow. If you want to return to the sun, catch the bright moon in the water. There is no resurrection after death. However, this incident made him realize that it was inappropriate to kill his third daughter, Miaoyin, after mistakenly listening to the traitor's slander.
In order to express his remorse, King Miaozhuang ordered a princess temple to be built on Cangyan Mountain for the Three Emperors' Aunt, with a statue in it to express his condolences.
Because the two statues have the same appearance, later generations thought that there were two Great Compassion Bodhisattva on Cangyan Mountain. He also said that what is in the Princess Temple is the true image, and what is in the Great Compassion Hall is the image of the Dharma. So far, the authenticity cannot be determined.
Although King Miaozhuang built a temple for the Great Compassion Bodhisattva, he always felt that his wish was unfulfilled. He was determined to find the Bodhisattva to thank him face to face. In order to achieve his goal, he must first find the crazy Taoist.
There is a saying: If there is no wonder, it cannot be passed down into a biography, and if there is no coincidence, it cannot be written into a book. King Miaozhuang was about to find the crazy Taoist, but the crazy Taoist came to his door.
When King Miaozhuang revealed his plan, the crazy Taoist said that he came just for this matter.
When King Miaozhuang heard this, he couldn't help but said: "God is really helping me!"
The crazy Taoist said: "Long live Lord, please don't be too happy. The Great Compassion Bodhisattva is far away on the coast of the South China Sea. Even if he rides a horse and rides a car, I'm afraid it won't be a year or two!"
King Miaozhuang said: "If you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you should repay it with a spring of water. Even if you are in the year of the monkey and the moon of the horse, you will never regret it until your eyebrows are all white."
The crazy Taoist said, "Once you leave, you won't be able to come back for at least ten or eight years. There must be an explanation for the government affairs, right?"
King Miaozhuang introduced Su Yugui's situation again.
The mad Taoist said, "In this case, why not just hand over the imperial power to him before going!"
King Miaozhuang said, "He is too young, it is better to be more stable."
The crazy Taoist said: "The pearls of rice also shine with brilliance, and the stones are as black as mud." When he said this, he looked at King Miaozhuang intently and said, "I was younger when I was the emperor!"
"Oh?" King Miaozhuang blurted out.
The mad Taoist felt that he had made a mistake and changed his words, "If I leave it to Su Yugui, I'm afraid that after you leave, the two sons-in-law will take the opportunity to cause trouble. It might be better to act as an agent of the government."
"Yes..." King Miaozhuang nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"How many followers do you want to bring with you on this trip?" Seeing that King Miaozhuang was unwilling to give up the throne, the mad Taoist could not persuade him, so he changed the subject.
King Miaozhuang's answer was even more unexpected. He said, "In addition to the two horsemen who specialize in pulling gold and silver, I will also bring two daughters."
The crazy Taoist said, "In this case, why not bring the Three Emperors' Aunt with you? There is a saying: If you don't endure the hardships, it's hard to understand the taste. You can't favor one over the other!"
King Miaozhuang was surprised and asked: "Is Miaoyin still alive?"
The mad Taoist said: "When a person dies, there is a corpse, when the corpse is destroyed, there is a phase, and when the phase is destroyed, there is spirit. You can bring the portrait painted by Su Yugui with you. It will be useful when the time comes."
When King Miaozhuang saw that the crazy Taoist didn't seem to be joking, he said, "That is the portrait of the Great Compassion Bodhisattva, the God of the Nine Heavens. How can I take her with me as my daughter?"
When the crazy Taoist saw that he recognized the truth, he chanted crazily:
Beyond the thirty-third heaven there are gods, and beyond the ninth heaven there are gods.
Gods and immortals are all changed by mortals, I'm afraid that mortals' hearts are not strong.
As long as you practice hard, mortals can become gods.
One day I go to the South China Sea, where right and wrong, good and evil are reversed.
"What the real person means is that the Great Compassion Bodhisattva is the little girl Miaoyin?" King Miaozhuang looked at the crazy Taoist with suspicion.
The mad Taoist looked up to the sky and laughed, "The secret must not be revealed, and the mystery will be solved by then."
King Miaozhuang saw that there was something in the crazy Taoist's words and wanted to ask him what happened. Unexpectedly, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. He was very puzzled and murmured to himself, "Although this Taoist is crazy, there is always something behind his words. There is a voice, but you shouldn't listen to it too much, but you can't turn a deaf ear to it either! It's better to bring that portrait with you!"
King Miaozhuang and his party of five people and one painting brought two carts of gold, silver and jewelry. They chose an auspicious day to set off on the imperial road, with the intention of going to Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea to worship the Great Compassion Bodhisattva and thank the savior.
Along the way, we stayed overnight at dawn, and all the prefectures and counties went dozens of miles out of the city to pick them up, setting up incense tables and setting off firecrackers to welcome them. They ate birds and beasts, delicacies from the sea and mountains; they slept on gum quilts; and there were soldiers guarding them outside the door. When parting, some were sent to Shilipu and some to Wuliting. After traveling for several months, the two carts of property not only remained unspent, but also gained many rare treasures.
Faced with this situation, King Miaozhuang secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he did not hand over the throne to Su Yugui, otherwise the journey would have been deserted.
It seems that the imperial power is still the most ruthless in the world. After returning from the South China Sea, he must issue an imperial edict to give promotions to everyone who entertains warmly. This not only commends the loyal ministers, but also shows the benevolence of the lonely king.
One year later, it was about to leave the Xinglin border. King Miaozhuang and his two daughters said with some worry: "Father, we relied on the imperial power in Xinglin Kingdom, so we had an unimpeded journey along the way. When we arrived in Suiye Kingdom, the people were unfamiliar, and no one knew that the person coming was the emperor. And the princess, if you don’t find a way to show your identity, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to move forward!”
Both coachmen said, "Long live, princess, just don't worry. As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. Although the people of Suiye country don't know the emperor and princess, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still eat comfortably and sleep well." It’s safe, easy to walk, and comfortable to live in. As long as you’re happy, you can hire a few people to carry it around.”
Long live the princess, who has been living in the palace for a long time and rarely goes out. Once she goes out, she is always hugged and hugged. She reaches for clothes and opens her mouth for food. She has no idea how to buy things or how to use money. In their eyes, although silver is not as earthy as gold or iron, between money and power, they only believe in power but not money. Therefore, they are unwilling to believe what the coachman says no matter what.
The eldest princess Miaoqing feels that if you want to travel smoothly, you must dress nicely. The principle of putting more emphasis on clothes and hats far away and putting more emphasis on people close to you has never changed.
The second princess Miaoyuan believed that although appropriate dressing was necessary, clothes and clothing could only show that they were not ordinary people. It was best to ride in a brocade car and wear an "imperial umbrella" to show their identity. Although King Miaozhuang felt different from his daughters, he still felt that it was not enough. In order to let people know at first sight, he not only ordered the border guards to prepare a four-horse brocade chariot for them, but also wrote in his own hand "Xing The four characters "King Lin" were hung in front of the brocade car, and then he entered Suiye Kingdom with confidence.
They thought that in this way, just like in Xinglin Kingdom, "when you pass the government, you will be greeted by the government officials, and when you pass the state, you will be greeted by the state officials."
Unexpectedly, when the brocade car with "King Xinglin" written on it passed by the county government office, even the small county magistrate ignored them, let alone treated the guests as if they were honored guests.
