"It's just that the young man is a bit hot-blooded and is afraid of doing something bad."
A trace of evil flashed across Mingji's eyes: "Let him disappear first if he's in the way!"
For Wang Zhongsi, the reason why they sneaked into Chanding Temple was to seek relatives in Chang'an City, and the letter Liu Yunying asked Ming Si to send also included the name of a sixth-rank official from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Despite this, the monk who performed acupuncture on the little princess still dared to attack her, which shows that the identity of the master behind the Zen Temple must not be simple.
Because of this, we cannot take it lightly.
Therefore, after Wang Zhongsi sent the bowls and chopsticks to the temple kitchen, he just stared at the Zen room next to the apricot tree from a distance. When he saw the person talking to Mingji through the window of the Zen room, he was startled again.
When Wang Zhongsi returned to the Zen room, Li Sixu saw that he looked wrong: "The person who lives in that Zen room surprised Brother Zhongsi, didn't he?"
"The princess's guess was correct. It was indeed beyond Zhongsi's expectation. The man was also seen in his adoptive father's study room. He turned out to be Zen Master Dahui."
Wang Zhongsi was puzzled by the explanation: "Chan Master Dahui came from a famous family. He was the great-grandson of Zhang Gongjin, the founding hero of the country. He was well-read in the classics and history, and was proficient in astronomy, calendar phenomena, and the study of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. He even studied Zen with Songshan Puji Zen Master. He was said to be My father forcibly recruited those who came back to Beijing."
"My adoptive father relied on him very much and asked him to re-edit the New Calendar based on Li Chunfeng's "Linder Calendar". He once intended to confer him the title of National Preceptor, but Zen Master Dahui refused, saying that there was a Buddhist temple in the capital where he could stay. , so his adoptive father made him the abbot of Zending Temple."
Wang Zhongsi didn't understand: "Zen Master Dahui has a noble character, and everyone in the government and the public respects him very much. Zhongsi thought that because he devoted himself to studying astronomy and history, he would let cunning monks like Mingsi take advantage of him."
"Mingsi got the letter that the princess asked Miss Liu to write, but he took it to see Zen Master Dahui. Could it be that Zen Master Dahui and Mingsi are like a den of snakes and rats?"
Wang Zhongsi shook his head: "This is different from the Zen Master Dahui I met in my adoptive father's study room. No, I have to figure this out."
Wang Zhongsi said that he wanted to understand why Zen Master Dahui was different from the people he met in the imperial study room.
Liu Yunying then said: "What is there to understand about this? Maybe in front of the emperor, Bald Donkey is just pretending, and the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. With a disciple like Mingsi who has crooked ideas, how can his master be an eminent monk? "
"That old bald donkey must be a liar. Yunying is going to reveal his true colors this time."
Liu Yunying asked Li Sixu: "Little master, what should we do next?"
Li Sixu replied to Liu Yunying with one word: "Wait!"
Liu Yunying didn't understand what her young master meant, so she looked at Wang Zhongsi standing aside.
Wang Zhongsi told her: "The people sent by Ming Dynasty to Chang'an City to deliver a letter to my cousin will be able to return to Zending Temple tomorrow."
"But, that cousin was written blindly by my mistress by Yun Ying."
If Mingji really sends someone to deliver the message, wouldn't he be cheating?
Liu Yunying was running out of brains: "My young master also said that Ming Si will not let anyone send a message to Chang'an City."
Wang Zhongsi did not say much: "You will know tomorrow..."
On the second day, Liu Yunying did know, because she brought the junior fellow from Beitian Yuan who knew pharmacology to give Li Sixu acupuncture, and Mingsi came in person again.
Liu Yunying's face was filled with joy when she saw him: "Holy Monk, has my cousin sent someone here?"
Mingji looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
He comforted Liu Yunying: "The poor monk will find old ginseng that can be used as medicine for the little benefactor as soon as possible."
The light in Liu Yunying's eyes gradually dimmed, and her eyes turned red as she said: "Please ask the holy monk to tell my daughter truthfully whether he sent someone to deliver a letter to Chang'an City? Did the letter written by my daughter reach my cousin's hand? ?”
Unable to bear Liu Yunying's discomfort, Ming Si paused and told the truth.
"To be honest with the donor, the letter did not reach the donor's cousin. When the poor monk sent his junior brother to deliver the letter to Lord Wang's house, he happened to be not in the house. After reading the letter, Mrs. Wang told the poor monk's junior brother, I don’t have any relatives like the girl’s brother or sister, so I hope that the poor monk and junior brother will stop coming to harass me, otherwise he will be reported to the government.”
Before Mingji could finish speaking, Liu Yunying couldn't bear it any longer, and the tears in her eyes flowed down her cheeks.
"Cousin, are you unwilling to recognize your little girl's brothers and sisters? That's right. My father was exiled as an official, and now we brothers and sisters have returned to Chang'an City in disgrace, bringing shame to their family."
Liu Yunying said sadly: "Except for their family, the younger brother and sister have no relatives in Chang'an City. What should we do?"
Seeing the woman in front of him crying heartbrokenly, Mingji suppressed the smug look in his eyes and said with relief: "Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. There are many people in this world who are greedy for profit. Don't be sad, donor. I will definitely find a way. , find old ginseng that can be used as medicine for the donor’s sister.”
Liu Yunying looked at her dying sister on the couch. When she was crying and almost dying, Wang Zhongsi, who was guarding the couch, clenched his fists.
"How come my cousin doesn't care about our brother and sister's life and death? Daddy was kind to him back then."
Wang Zhongsi gritted his teeth and said, "My cousin must have been causing trouble and refused to let my cousin take in our brother and sister. I can never watch my sister die of illness."
"No, I have to go to Chang'an City myself."
Wang Zhongsi glanced at his seriously ill sister on the bed and said, "My cousin will never leave her alone."
The woman who was crying in front of her seemed to have found a backbone after hearing her brother's words, and she looked at him for help.
Ming Si suppressed the calculating look in his eyes and comforted Liu Yunying: "Donor, don't be sad. I will take your brother to the incense guest to borrow a horse and let him go to Chang'an City to meet your cousin."
Liu Yunying worriedly warned Wang Zhongsi a few words, and then asked Ming Si to take him away, waiting for the monk who had finished applying the acupuncture on Li Sixu to leave.
She lay next to Li Sixu's ear: "Little master, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
"If we don't let him do something evil to brother Zhongsi, how can we make you submit obediently when you are cornered?"
When Liu Yunying and Wang Zhongsi scolded the bald donkey earlier, Li Sixu thought it was a bit too much. Now she was tortured with acupuncture by the monks brought by Ming Si. She also gritted her teeth and cursed the bald donkey.
"The peaceful place of Buddhism has turned into a place of filth and evil? The Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and after all, it cannot save the greed and anger of the world."
Li Sixu weakly stretched out a hand towards Liu Yunying: "Hurry and help Sisi up. In order to force you to submit, they plan to take Sisi's life."
Liu Yunying thought that the reason why Li Sixu was lying down was because she was continuing to act.
When she heard the princess say that she wanted to kill her, she realized that the monk who performed the acupuncture on her had done something dirty again, and was so frightened that she hurriedly helped her up.
If Liu Yunying dared to attack the princess, she could not wait to cut off the head of that evil-hearted bald donkey, but Li Sixu turned over her sleeve, took out a silver needle, and pierced herself.
When her physical condition improved, she persuaded Liu Yunying: "Calm down, the true face of Zending Temple will soon surface."
