Chapter 43 Friends are friends, rules are rules(1/2)
Huo Qiji was turned away.
It seems that it won’t work to go through the main entrance. Judging from the meaning of the butler, it seems that even if you report your true name, you may not be able to enter the Xiliang Palace.
The walls of the royal palace are very high, but they are not as high as Huo Qiji's jump.
He is preparing to visit the royal palace at night.
King Xiliang had already sat back on the chair and enjoyed his daughter's little fist falling on his shoulders.
He closed his eyes but did not rest assured, but was thinking about the old friend who came thirteen years ago.
My daughter's fist was just right and very comfortable.
As long as Xiao Momo knocks on the shoulder, no matter how strong it is, it is just right.
The King of Xiliang opened his eyes and asked, "Old Song, are you sure it is him? You haven't seen this person in thirteen years."
The fists that fell on the shoulders were a little messy, so the housekeeper Lao Song couldn't speak. Shangguan Zimo jumped and said, "Dad, Dad, I remember who the person outside was. It was the master of that little baby. It took me thirteen years to remember that it was that big brother. What's the name?"
After thinking for a while, she didn't remember it. She remembered that she, who was only four years old, had never asked the name of this elder brother at all.
She thought about him standing outside the door just now, and it seemed that he had experienced much vicissitudes. Like her elder brother, she was still a little unshaven.
It was all his fault. He lowered his head and stood up high, and he didn't recognize him at once.
As I thought about it, the fists on my hand began to smash again.
Shangguan Qingyun reached out and stopped his daughter's hand to avoid hitting him on the head. He smiled and said, "You little girl, you still remember him."
Since it was him, I still had to meet him, but now he has some inconvenience.
Although the two Shikong Temple did not always follow him, with their skills, such a master came to the royal palace, they would definitely be able to feel it. After all, they were in a room near the study.
Looking at the book "The Buddha's Sutra forty-two Chapters" on the table, King Xiliang was so angry that he was so angry that he was guarded by others when he was sleeping. If I hadn't been old, I would have asked those two monks to hear what the sound of mediocrity is.
He regretted letting the two masters of Shikong Temple enter the Xiliang Palace.
Half a year ago, two eminent monks from Shikong Temple came to the door and said they wanted to help the King of Xiliang to protect his safety. At that time, the King of Xiliang was receiving news of the assassination of King Lu.
Although the King of Xiliang was brave and good at fighting, it was just killing enemies on the battlefield, and it was still not as good as those in the martial arts world. And he was under the banner of "clearing the king's side and establishing a new king", and he was easily targeted by the Choshulou.
The intention of this Deer Cutting Tower is very obvious, and it is to gain the influence of the world. Shangguan Qingyun suspected that a vassal king colluded with people from the world and secretly created such a Deer Cutting Tower.
The people in the martial arts world have to be dealt with by the martial arts world people, so he is very happy that the people in the Shikong Temple come.
Unexpectedly, this move became a way to attract the wolf into the house.
This Shikong Temple actually secretly colluded with Tubo.
If he hadn't been careful and ordered his eldest son Shangguan Ziyang to guard Dingxi City, which was close to Tubo, he would have attacked the Tubo ungrateful wolves.
These bald donkeys do not recite scriptures well and try to influence the world. They also let themselves read "The Buddha's Sayings". What are the things they do?
He glanced at the butler Lao Song, and he asked in a low voice: "Is there a way to find him?"
The housekeeper nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's not difficult to see him. The difficulty lies in meeting you. In addition, this person may only solve the dangers in the royal palace. However, if the two monks know about it, you may be in danger."
Shangguan Qingyun frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the two masters of Shikong Temple are the only one who can defeat them, so this matter is difficult to deal with."
The housekeeper said: "Why do you want to contact him first and then make a long-term plan?"
At this time, Shangguan Zimo said, "Dad, why don't I go and find Brother Gongsun and ask him to transfer a team of troops to serve as a supporter?"
"No!"
Shangguan Qingyun waved his hand and said,
"If you hear the movement, I'm afraid I'll die first."
With his fingers hitting the table, Shangguan Qingyun said, "Old Song, find a way to contact him first and tell me about my current situation."
At this time, the knock on the door sounded,
"Shi Yuan and his disciple Kongjian came to talk to the king about scriptures."
Shangguan Qingyun was shocked, sat upright, signaled the little daughter behind him to continue pounding her back, and nodded at the butler.
The housekeeper Song Bo went to open the door.
Shangguan Qingyun opened the scriptures on the desk.
The housekeeper saluted the two monks who came in.
"I've seen two masters!"
The two of them returned a gift.
Shangguan Qingyun said, "Please sit down with two monks!"
He said to the butler again: "Old Song, look at the tea!"
After saying that, he turned his head slightly and said, "Momo, I want to ask the master for advice on Buddhism. You go to your mother and learn about embroidery for female workers. Don't always go out. Remember, you are not allowed to go out these two days."
Shangguan Zimo pouted and said, "I know!"
After saying that, he ignored the two monks of Shikong Temple who were sitting and left directly.
The two monks didn't care.
Shangguan Qingyun looked at the Buddhist scriptures in his hand and said, "The two eminent monks came by chance. I happened to read Chapter 19 just now, and I was confused and could not understand it."
Shi Yuan smiled, stood on his chest with one palm, lowered his head slightly, sang the Buddha's name, and said, "Please speak, I wish to practice Buddhism with the king."
Shangguan Qingyun held the book and said, "The Buddha said: "Looking at the heaven and earth, thinking about the world, thinking about the extreme, thinking about the spiritual enlightenment, that is, Bodhi. Such knowledge can lead to the Tao. I dare to ask the master, what is the extraordinary? What is spiritual enlightenment? What is the explanation of Bodhi?"
Shi Yuan is the elder of the Shikong Sect Dharma Hall, and Kong Jian, who was sitting at the head of him, was his personal disciple.
After hearing what King Xiliang asked, Shi Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed that this sutra was not delivered to him for nothing. The "Sutra for Forty-Two Chapters of the Buddha's Sayings" in King Xiliang was a manuscript by Master Shi Huai, the abbot of Shikongmen, and it was very precious.
He slowly spoke, "King, this Bodhi is the supreme realm pursued by those who practice. It is to realize the great enlightenment and see the mind and nature. The constant is eternal and unchanging. The Buddha said: Observe the heaven and earth, observe the world, and think of the extraordinary. The sun, moon, stars, and the world, from ancient times to the present, seem to be unchanging throughout the world, but in fact there are some changes. It is called extraordinary. When we know the principles, we will develop spiritual awareness and reach the realm of Bodhi."
Shangguan Qingyun asked with a smile: "I dare to ask the master, the Buddha said that all the four elements are empty, so is Bodhi you seek empty or not empty?"
Master Shi Yuan smiled and said, "The old monk has not practiced Buddhism enough, and has not yet reached the level of Bodhi fruit. He seeks without being empty. As for what the king asks, I dare not speak nonsense."
Shangguan Qingyun said, "That king has nothing to ask!"
At this time and space, he said: "Your Majesty, my master received a letter from Fei Ge, the master of the Dharma Secretariat, and mentioned that Huo Qiji, the son of Huo Xingwei, the deputy head of the Xuanyi Sect, visited Shikong Sect a few days ago. He reminded me and my master to pay attention to the safety of the king."
Shi Yuan said, "The king may not know that Huo Qiji was the leader of the martial arts competition and the son of Huo Xingwei. He is very skilled. The king is now under the banner of clearing the king, which is not good for his father. Therefore, the senior brother wrote a letter to expressly say that he would pay attention to Huo Qi's movements and protect the king for a long time. I dared to ask the king to send someone to search this person in the past few days, and I will follow the king to prevent this person from being bad for the king."
When Shangguan Qingyun heard this, his heart tightened, and he didn't show any expression on his face, just said, "Is there such a thing? I should thank you very much for your family. Huo Xingwei, the old man, made such a rebellious act, and everyone killed him when he saw it. Since his son came to Xiliang City, it was naturally not a good thing. The two of us will have to worry about our safety. In addition, we both told you to the noble school, Master Shihuai, that I have chosen a mountain to build a new temple, just in Changliu Mountain next to our Xiliang City. However, our Xiliang is now preparing for the Eastern Expedition and there is less labor service. The construction of the temple may be slowed down."
Shi Yuan said, "I'm sorry, I will tell the abbot about this matter. The king will have great merits in this move. I hope the Buddha will bless you and will be able to complete the great cause of hegemony."
He thought to himself, blessed, but smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I will go for a meal, and the two monks please do whatever you want."
Anyway, they will only be only twenty feet away from themselves wherever they go.
In order to disgust these bald donkeys, the King of Xiliang specializes in eating meat and eats it in different ways.
You can't let me quit meat for you bald donkeys. If you dare to eat meat, then I will stretch my head over to see if you dare to do it.
Kong Jian Zeng was so angry that he complained to Master Shi Yuan.
Shi Yuan said: "Seeing or not seeing is not in front of you, but in your heart."
It is said to be.
But he couldn't help but drool, so he had to sit farther and recite the scriptures silently.
At dinner today, the housekeeper ordered people to set up a fire and roast a whole sheep in the yard.
The fragrance is really fragrant, the yard is filled with fragrance.
Seeing this, King Xiliang secretly praised in his heart, saying that he was worthy of being the old Song who had been with him for many years.
The fire was very strong, and half-large sheep were placed on the fire, and some people were constantly grilling.
The meat was roasted golden, and the fat dripped on the fire, bursts of blue smoke rose.
Shangguan Zimo thoughtfully opened a jar of good wine for his father.
King Xiliang never uses a bowl to drink, he always drinks with a cage.
Two eminent monks from Shikongmen were on the roof of the room and closed their eyes and recited the scriptures.
It was getting late and the stars shone in the night sky. Huo Xingwei jumped and squatted on the high wall of the royal palace.
Seeing the fire, he took advantage of the darkness to touch the other side.
The figure disappeared above the high wall.

After reading the letter in his hand, Zhang Zhongqian handed it to Yuan Xi.
Che Sanqian's letter clearly stated that Mr. Zhang and several masters would go to the Invincible Divine Fist Gang to discuss it.
It would be fine if you don’t go, but this young master Zhang’s goods may not be able to walk out of Wuling City safely.
Zhang Zhongqian knew Che Sanqian’s methods.
Cheng Shifei shouted, "If you go, go, I'm afraid of him!"
