Xiao Chen slowly raised his eyes, rubbed his face with his hands to wake himself up, and became more energetic, "In that case, get ready to go up the mountain."
"yes!"
Wei Zhongxian responded, then stepped forward with great strides and raised his voice to the young disciples guarding the mountain, "Master Xiao of Dongchang has come to pay homage to the mountain. Why don't you open the middle door of the temple to show your respect?" meet!"
Several young disciples looked at each other, and one of them hurriedly ran up to pass the message.
On the mountain, in the Dali Temple, a group of eminent monks had already received the news when Xiao Chen's carriage entered the Dali Temple. At this moment, they all gathered in the Daming Hall, and they were standing in a stalemate with sad faces.
"Head of the Discipline Hall, do you mean that eunuchs from Dongchang can never enter the pure land of our temple?"
A tall martial artist spoke. The parallel scars on his head represented his high status.
"Master Wu, this is not my intention, but the intention of our ancestors." The leader of the Discipline Hall gave a Buddha salute to the tall golden statue in the Mingtang, and then said seriously, "Our Dali Temple is the purest and most pure. It is a place of yang, and eunuchs are neither yin nor yang, and the evil body and the spirit of evil and sycophancy must not enter!"
"But you have to know that this Governor Xiao is an imperial envoy, and behind him is His Majesty the Great Chu." The head of Wu Hall arched his hands toward the capital, with the word "Chuan" printed between his eyebrows in his bright eyes, "Who I don’t know that these Dongchang eunuchs are dirty and smelly, but no matter what I do in Dali Temple, I can’t directly touch the power of God!”
The head of the meditation hall bowed to the Buddha and said slowly: "Otherwise, it is precisely because this person is an envoy of the Son of Heaven that we must be more careful. Who knows what the purpose of his coming here is? If he has hidden plots and treacherous thoughts, I'm afraid we will give him a big gift." The temple will suffer disaster."
The fat monk's words resonated with everyone, and several eminent monks nodded one after another, all feeling that Xiao Chen's arrival was unkind.
The leader of the Wu Hall was so anxious that he twisted the sandalwood beads in his hand several times, bowed to the golden body of the great ancestor behind the leader, and then calmed down his anger, and said logically: "Then the temple should be closed Can this disaster be avoided by opening the door?”
"By letting those donors come in, we still have a chance to adapt; if we don't let them worship at the mountain gate, we, Dali Temple, will be rude first. If word spreads, we, the sect of martial arts in the world and the role model in the world, won't let them People laugh at you?"
The leader of the Discipline Hall shouted angrily and tightened his grip on the sandalwood beads in his hand, "The rules of our ancestors cannot be broken!"
"Then I would like to ask, which commandment clearly states that eunuchs will not enter the house at all?" Hall Master Wu said solemnly and solemnly.
The head of the Discipline Hall paused for a moment, and on his square face with Chinese characters, a trace of stubbornness flashed across his reading.
Several other hall leaders and heads were also in a tangle for a while. Some said that what the leader of Wu Hall said was absolutely true, while others said that the precious energy of the pure land should not be trampled on. They were in a stalemate for a while.
In the midst of the chaos, the head of the Dali Temple, who was seated under the golden statue, slightly opened his eyes of compassion for all living beings, and looked leisurely and calmly outside the mountain gate where the sun shone brightly, as if he was offering a Buddha to the heavens. After the ceremony, Fang said: "In the six paths of reincarnation, all living beings are equal. Our Dali Temple will never refuse to welcome you because of selfish interests."
"The emperor's envoy, who has come to replace the dragon body, opens the middle door and welcomes Governor Xiao and his entourage into the temple with respect."
"yes!"
Several disciples with tall postures and majestic weapons on the side immediately responded.
Several great monks in the hall still held their own opinions, but since the leader spoke, they had to obey.
Everyone said "Immeasurable Life Buddha", held the sandalwood beads in their hearts, performed a Buddha salute, and then quietly gave way to the two sides.
The first statue stepped down from the high seat, his golden cassock slowly fluttering in the breeze of the mountain temple. His appearance was solemn, his round face was calm and compassionate, and he walked calmly towards the temple gate with the square steps of Xiongyang.
At the bottom of the mountain, Wei Zhongxian was arguing endlessly with the young disciple. The noise caused Xiao Chen a headache.
"Zhongxian."
Xiao Chen raised his eyes slightly, his calm demeanor not disturbed by the long wait, and he calmly called out.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed forward and said unconvinced: "Master Governor, these people in Dali Temple are too arrogant. Why don't you let your subordinates and Brother Xiang go up and personally ask them how long it will take to open a door!"
Xiao Chen enjoyed the gentle evening breeze in the mountain temple, took a leisurely sip of tea, and said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, let the bullets fly for a while."
"Ah? W-what?" Wei Zhongxian was puzzled.
Xiao Chen smiled and looked calmly in the direction of the mountain gate, and then he started to joke slightly, "What I mean is, this is such a good meal, are you still afraid of being late?"
As he was about to finish his words, he suddenly heard several solemn ringings of Buddhist bells from the mountain temple. The sound was loud and loud, startling the birds in the forest.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of the thick stone door slowly opening, and a group of eminent monks, led by the leader, quickly came to greet him in a neat and respectful procession.
Xiao Chen sneered, put down the car curtain, and leaned leisurely on the brocade couch. A touch of bamboo came naturally to his mind, and he said happily: "Go up the mountain."
When the first Master Fangzheng saw Xiao Chen, he couldn't help but look at the young governor in front of him carefully with his calm Buddha eyes. A slight look of surprise flashed across his face, like the smallest trace of an invisible ray in this mountain temple. The breeze.
"Buddha of Infinite Life." Fang Zheng made a Buddhist salute to Xiao Chen, with a solemn smile on his round face, and there was a vague sense of silent oppression.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth also evoked a deep smile, and he returned a salute to Fang Zheng calmly and calmly, with the manner of a handsome young man, but with a dignified demeanor that was not weaker than Fang Zheng's, "Master, you are polite."
Fang Zheng put a smile on his face and personally invited Xiao Chen to enter the temple. He walked slowly and calmly and said calmly: "I didn't know that Governor Xiao was coming before. I didn't know that I was far away to welcome him. I hope Governor Xiao won't be surprised."
"I just don't know. Governor Xiao is coming to Han Temple this time. What's the important thing?"
After Fang Zheng finished speaking, the great monks walking beside him stopped for a moment and looked at Xiao Chen quietly while twisting the beads.
It seems to be a sign of respecting guests and waiting for them to speak seriously, but the chilling air held back when his eyes were lowered has not diminished at all.
Xiao Chen smiled casually, not paying attention to the reactions of these people at all. He just stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the endless mountain temple in front of him, "I heard that in your Dali Temple, there is a world-famous Sutra Collection Pavilion. It contains the meaning of the world’s scriptures.”
"It just so happened that the governor passed by here on his way south and wanted to take a look."
"Oh, by the way, there is also your Great Return Pill, which is said to increase one's skill for ten years by taking one pill. The governor is also very interested in it and plans to take a hundred and eighty pills back and present them to His Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, the silent chilling atmosphere around him suddenly became stronger. Xiao Chen could even hear the movements of those people twisting the sandalwood beads significantly faster.
A sullen voice came over, "Master Xiao, what do you mean? Our Dali Temple is the number one temple in the world, and the Sutra Pavilion is an important place in the temple. No one is allowed to enter without permission!"
"As for the Great Return Pill, it is the most precious treasure of this temple. Do you think it is gold, silver and jewelry, and you can have as much as you want?"
