Qin Xiangyu was stunned. She didn't expect her senior sister to be so elegant.
Hearing this, he could only smile bitterly and said: "This is your brother's fault again. This early in the morning, I asked Qingyu to take the woman to leave Chang'an and go back to her hometown."
"I originally wanted to keep her in my inn, and she could play a song for the guests from time to time. I'm afraid there are some guests with a thousand gold, ten gold, or a hundred gold..."
Shaking his head, Qin Xiangyu cursed angrily: "I didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan would directly cut off my financial path!"
"Bah! You are just a shameless guy. She was framed and had no choice but to perform for a living, but you want to use her to make money for you!"
Mingkong chuckled and said, "No wonder my brother ignored you and asked Sister Qingyu to send him away."
The two quarreled for a while, but finally they talked about Xiaobao.
Qin Xiangyu smiled faintly: "Senior sister, I'm afraid you didn't expect that sister Qingyu was sent by Li Xiuyuan to escort the weak girl back to her hometown thousands of miles away, and sister Yue'er is now on the mission of picking up Xiaobao."
Mingkong didn't take it seriously, picked up a fruit from the plate and took a bite.
After a while, he cursed calmly: "You really want to drag someone to your inn when you see him and make him a free cow and horse for you."
"I don't think she has anything to do. If she is idle, she is idle."
Qin Xiangyu sighed, thought for a while and said, "I have to talk to the master about you, and then ask Li Xiuyuan if he wants to prescribe you a pair of elixirs to protect your fetus."
Mingkong thought for a while and shook his head: "Brother gave me the elixir and drank the elixir tea. Where is the treasure?"
Qin Xiangyu ate a piece of fruit and two pieces of pastry, and was very exhausted.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but spat: "Look, I just can't control my mouth. I originally thought that I would come to see you and have a big meal in the palace, but now it's better."
Mingkong looked at her and smiled: "It doesn't matter. I'll have someone make some delicious food for you later. You can take it home and eat it slowly with your brother and master."
Qin Xiangyu came up and said mysteriously: "There is one thing I can't understand."
"Say, don't worry." Mingkong smiled.
Nodding, Qin Xiangyu continued: "Senior sister, you have suffered a lot. Why did your fortune turn as soon as Li Xiuyuan came back? Could it be that he can tell fortunes?"
Upon hearing this, Mingkong couldn't help but frown slightly.
He murmured to himself: "It seems so."
…
Qin Xiangyu was still in the palace greeting his senior sister. Li Xiuyuan took Gao Yuer'er to make wine together on the 47th, and Xiaobao went to the academy to study.
But rumors were quietly spreading in the imperial city.
One is that the young lady from the Xiao Mansion seizes the love of others and forces a good girl from thousands of families looking for a husband to become a street performer for a living.
Secondly, the imperial guards went out of the palace without the emperor's order and wanted to stand up for Xiao Mansion and arrest the young man who acted bravely.
Unexpectedly, he hit an iron plate in the end, and a strong wind blew, breaking hundreds of horses on the spot, and almost all the forbidden troops were seriously injured.
This is a huge event in the imperial city.
After all, in the absence of war, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the imperial army in the inner courtyard of the palace would lose hundreds of people?
You must know that there are countless war horses in the palace. Now there are hundreds of horses missing. I am afraid that no one can hide it, and no one dares to hide it.
Although the emperor's decree did not come down in the end, the entire imperial city was in chaos.
Even some of the ministers had a low-pitched discussion in the morning. Everyone had the same idea, lest the world would not be in chaos.
One less minister means everyone has one less enemy.
Qin Xiangyu originally entered the palace just to make an appointment with his junior sister to see her. After all, once Mingkong entered the palace, it was inconvenient to go out.
Not to mention, she was pregnant with the emperor's dragon fetus.
The speaker has no heart, and the listener Mingkong has no heart either.
It wasn't until one day when the storm came that Mingkong remembered what happened today.
However, at that time, Qin Xiangyu could no longer control her senior sister's affairs and did not dare to.
The entire imperial city is asking about the young monk who acted righteously. After all, there seems to be no two monks in Chang'an City who can mobilize the spiritual energy of a place and hurt people invisible.
However, whether it was the Xuanwumen Incident in the Tang Dynasty or the blood-stained streets today.
Li Xiuyuan only appeared in a hurry, like a dragon, and disappeared into the vast sea of people in an instant, leaving no room for anyone to inquire about his origins.
Not to mention the stunning Yelu Pearl. Even Xiao Bizhen didn't see her face clearly and hurriedly disappeared into this world with the old monk.
At this time, Ku Zhu had left Chang'an with Qing Yu and headed south of the Yangtze River.
A sudden incident involving a weak woman seeking a husband who was bullied and was not redressed seemed to be wiped away by Li Xiuyuan with a wave of his hand.
Little do you know, a bigger storm has just begun to brew.
Li Xiuyuan told Qingyu and Qin Xiangyu that this was just the cause and effect between him and Xiao Mansion, but little did he know that one day it really became the cause and effect between him and Datang.
But originally, none of these bad things had anything to do with him.
Just because he and Yelu Mingzhu went to a teahouse and saw a weak girl being bullied, so she gave her a lot of money just for a piece of piano music he liked.
…
On the 47th, after brewing black bean wine for several days, Gao Yue'er also learned a set of brewing procedures, saying that he could help the old man in the future.
Li Xiuyuan, who was moved, came to Hongfu Temple carrying two jars of wine brewed by the old man in the spring and some snacks.
In the current Chang'an City, there is nothing more than returning to the hut on the snow-capped mountains.
He just wanted to come to Hongfu Temple to find Sanzang to make tea and drink.
Sanzang finished his morning lessons today and was about to make a pot of spring tea when he didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to enter the Buddhist hall carrying pastries.
I couldn't help but smile and asked: "You are more comfortable on the mountain than I am here. Why do you want to come to the temple to drink with the monks?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "I was in a hurry when I came back. I haven't talked to Sanzang about the strange things that happened to Zhu. I have some free time today. Can you tell me?"
When Sanzang heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "What do you want to hear? I don't know about Junior Brother Wuliang's story."
Li Xiuyuan reached out and brewed a pot of spiritual tea, thought for a moment and replied: "Before listening to Tripitaka's story, let me tell you a story that just happened..."
The two of them held a cup of spiritual tea, and Li Xiuyuan told Sanzang the story of Wang Yu'er.
Finally, he looked at Sanzang and said quietly: "I have traveled all over the world and have been to many places. This is the first time I have heard of an encounter like Wang Yu'er's."
Sanzang had a look of compassion on his face when he heard this, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and sighed.
Everyone in the world suffers, and the suffering of the world is like the sand of the Ganges River. What you see is just one grain of it. It just so happens that I also saw one grain of it in Tianzhu.
Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard it: "I would like to hear the details."
Sanzang burned a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the Buddhist altar. As the faint sandalwood fragrance spread, Sanzang, holding the spiritual tea in his hand, told Li Xiuyuan a story.
This is the story that happened after Sanzang arrived in Tianzhu.
King Harsha of Magadha was a king who believed deeply in Buddhism. After he heard about Tripitaka's reputation in Landa Temple, he held a grand lecture conference in Qunv City, the capital of his country.
The kings of the eighteen kingdoms of India and more than 3,000 eminent monks arrived. King Harsha invited Sanzang to give lectures at the meeting and also allowed everyone to debate.
The conference lasted for eighteen days, and everyone admired Tripitaka's wonderful speech.
No one raised any different opinions. Finally, King Harsha sent someone to lift Xuanzang's cassock and declared the lecture a success.
From then on, Sanzang began to travel throughout India.
He traveled to more than a dozen kingdoms and visited countless monasteries.
Until one day, he met a masked man named Jarawa at a village market.
Tripitaka needed a guide, so he asked Jarava to accompany him for a short time. Jarava gladly accepted Tripitaka's invitation.
Jarava not only accompanied Tripitaka himself, but also brought along his only possessions and family property, a bullock cart and his beloved girl Kumar.
And told Sanzang a story.
Kumar turned out to be the daughter of a wealthy family in the village. A fire suddenly broke out in her home one night. Kumar was caught in the flames, and no one dared to save her.
As a slave, Jarawa resolutely rushed into the sea of fire and rushed out with Kumar in his arms.
The young lady from a wealthy family was saved, but no one thanked Jarava because he was a slave.
And slaves cannot touch the young lady's body...Kumar's father felt that his daughter was unclean, so he prepared to burn her to death...
Jarawa eloped with Kumar overnight and fled home... Jarawa was cursed by the village elders for this...cursing him to be a slave for the rest of his life and to always wear an iron mask on his face.
Sanzang was moved by the true love between the two, so he took them to Kumar's village and found the elder.
As soon as the elder saw the eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty interceding for the two of them, he immediately lifted the curse of Jarava and predicted that he would be liberated on the Ganges River.
One day, Tripitaka, Jarava and Kumar took their scriptures across the Ganges and returned to the original Landa Temple.
Unexpectedly, when the big boat was on the river, a storm suddenly blew up in the sky, knocking Sanzang and everyone down into the river...
In order to save scriptures for Tripitaka, Jarawa dived into the Ganges countless times and salvaged scriptures and Buddha statues...
Just when Jarava took the last risk to retrieve a Buddha statue from the bottom of the river, a stream of water came towards him and took away the mask on his face...
Having said this, Sanzang sighed and said: "It was the God of Ganges who took off the mask of Jarawa. At that moment, I felt joy and tranquility in my heart..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar and was speechless for a long time.
In his opinion, Tripitaka is compassionate, but everything in the world is so cruel and ruthless.
Buddha loves all living beings, but he cannot save all living beings.
Just as he could save Wang Yu'er in the teahouse, he could not save countless women in the world who had the same fate as Wang Yu'er.
Sanzang seemed to understand Li Xiuyuan's mind, but did not persuade him.
Instead, he looked at the Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar and said, "So, you clearly know that everyone in the world is suffering, so why don't you reach out and pull out those who are drowning in the sea of suffering?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan sighed and drank all the spiritual tea in the cup.
Then he added spring water to the pot with a spoon and continued to cook. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Sanzang's mind is as vast as the starry sky. You are the Buddha walking in the world."
Li Xiuyuan acted according to his mood, but unlike Sanzang, he wanted to save all the sentient beings who were not drowning in the sea of suffering.
After thinking about it, only a person like Tripitaka who is compassionate to the six realms can become a Buddha.
After some thought, it seemed that there was nothing in Chang'an Imperial City worth worrying about.
After meeting Sanzang, Li Xiuyuan wanted to go back to the snow-capped mountains and go into seclusion to cultivate his mind.
"I will return to the hut on the snow mountain in a few days. Monk, if you have time, you can stay in the mountain for a while. The old shopkeeper demolished the two wooden huts. Now we can live in them without any leaks."
Sanzang was startled when he heard this and asked, "Donor, are you tired of the worldly appearance?"
After laughing, Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "I'm just afraid that one day I won't be able to bear it any longer and I'll cause trouble. Is it possible that I'll have to trouble the monk to carry the cause and effect for me?"
Sanzang thought for a while, with a faint smile on his face.
He replied: "I think I heard you say back then that anyone on the mountain or down the mountain can practice Buddhism."
