Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Resting in Baosha

There is indeed a major event in the Northland.Emperor Yelv Shulu of the Northern Kingdom drank alcohol every day, ignored political affairs, and was fond of killing people.Not only did he kill the high officials of the imperial court, but also the servants, deer breeders, werewolf breeders, and close servants around him. If they were slightly displeased, they would kill them at every turn, so that people's hearts gradually lost. Minister Xiao Siwen saw this situation, took the opportunity to contact a group of nobles in the court, bribed the servants who were panicking around him all day long, sneaked into his bedroom with a hidden sharp knife, and killed him.However, there were still a lot of nobles and chieftains loyal to Yelu Shulu in the court. They were very dissatisfied when they heard the news, and they gathered their troops to fight against the rebellion.

When the northerners withdrew in a hurry, General Cheng Shixiong of Guangyuan said there was fraud, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.Nowadays, many people in Guangyuan don't know the details. Master Kongkong has a close relationship with the dignitaries in Guangyuan. In the past two days, a family of dignitaries came to the temple to offer incense. That's how he learned the details. When Ding Yuluo got the good news, he couldn't help but burst into tears. The two monks were so surprised that they asked Miss Ding to stay in the guest room temporarily. Ding Yuluo Naturally they refused, even though the Northern Bandits had retreated, their food was already five days late, even if it was peacetime, this was also a violation of the contract, and if one day was delayed, they would be punished for one more day, so the food should be delivered as soon as possible.

At that moment, Ding Yuluo explained his difficulties, and the brigade only rested in Puji Temple for a while, and then continued on their way.In order to prevent everyone from slacking off, she did not disclose the news about Beikou's retreat to anyone. She only told Ding Hao in detail when she went to visit Ding Hao. Ding Hao was overjoyed when he heard it. Because Ding Hao's condition had just improved, and the convoy had at least one more day to go, Ding Yuluo left him in Puji Temple to recuperate.Before the convoy left, Ding Yuluo found Master Kongkong again, and donated another five hundred taels of sesame oil, asking the master to take good care of Ding Hao.

Master Kong Kong readily agreed, and agreed without a word: saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.Even if there is no order from the benefactor, the old monk will take care of him wholeheartedly.In my temple, there is a good thing. There is a spring in the back temple, which gushes out in four seasons, and the spring water is like boiling. Bathing in it can dispel wind and cold.Donor Ding stays in the temple to recuperate, the old monk can arrange for him to live near the hot spring, apply medicine inside, and then bathe in the hot spring, he will recover as soon as possible, the female benefactor can rest assured.

Seeing the old monk's sincerity in agreeing, Ding Yuluo felt relieved and went to see Ding Hao again, and then personally commanded the convoy to continue to Guangyuan City. Puji Temple received a huge sum of money from others, even though he didn't say anything, he was very worried about this guest staying in the hospital.After seeing Miss Ding and her party away, the chief Kongzhi asked the sage monk Xuanfa to lead people to move Ding Hao to live in the temple.When Ding Hao entered the monastery, he protected himself from the wind and the cold. He took two bowls of ginger soup in sugar water and medicine for dispelling cold and heat, and his whole body became much more relaxed. He was quite energetic at this time.At that moment, two young novice monks accompanied him, bypassing several majestic palaces all the way, and arrived at the quiet and elegant temple with red plum blossoms.

There are pavilions and towers in the backyard, red plums are everywhere, and a pool of water is winding, with mist rising from the water, like a fairyland.Ding Hao didn't expect such a leisurely and elegant place in the temple, so he couldn't help being surprised. Xuanfa led him around to a small courtyard, opened the door, ordered the little novice to spread out the bedding, light up the charcoal stove, and said to him with a smile: "Benefactor Ding, please rest here."Three meals a day, decoction and decoction, will be delivered by the poor monk.There is a hidden river in the back of the house, which is where the hot spring runs through. If you feel better, you can take a bath in it.

Thank you master for your guidance.Ding Hao did as the Romans did when he entered the country, clasped his hands together, and bowed to him. Xuanfa returned a salute, and said with a smile: "Short salutation, less salutation, the scenery behind this temple is elegant, and it is suitable for rest, but, after going out of this gate, go to the right, to the side of the lotus bridge in the pond, please do not intrude, there is our temple there." A family member of Dharma protector Tanyue and his servants live here temporarily, and it is not appropriate to be disturbed. Ding Hao quickly said: Don't worry, Master, Xiao Ke is only recuperating here, and Xiao Ke will not wander around in the temple.

Oh, so, the poor monk said goodbye.After the fat-headed poor monk finished speaking, he took two young monks and retreated.Ding Hao moved the charcoal stove to the side of the kang, lay down on the kang, pulled the quilt over his body, and sighed contentedly.People's needs always change with time and situation. When he was in Ding's house, he was looking forward to changing his status and living a comfortable life. A bowl of hot soup, a stove, and a soft quilt are his greatest satisfaction. Seeing that the monk's medicine is very effective, it is so bitter that you want to vomit when you drink it, but now the heat on your body is gradually cooling down, Ding Hao thought with his arms on his pillow: the northerners retreated due to civil strife, this vile battle did not start, the Ding family The great tribulation is over.However, it was only a few days late, which almost caused a major disaster. The Guangyuan military was inevitably afraid, and it was inevitable that they would make things difficult for them.Ding Tingxun built this family business from scratch, and his mind is extraordinary. He would not have thought of these things, and he should have explained to Ding Yuluo a long time ago.I'm just a servant of the Ding family. It's not my turn to welcome and send you to make friends with the rich and powerful. I've already done what I have to do, so let's take care of myself here.

Ding Hao was thinking about his thoughts in the room. The Zhike monk led two young novice monks to the front hall. Passing a small pavilion, he suddenly saw a gray monk's robe flashing in a corner of the green pine forest by the roadside. A big bald head illuminated by Buddha's light was exposed on the side, clean and smooth, without a trace of blemish. Xuanfa couldn't help saying angrily: Bisu, what are you doing there? The person behind the green pine was startled, and quickly jumped out and said: So it is the master of Xuanfa, hehe, the little monk did nothing, just now a few mice stole lamp oil, I kicked them out, and they were driving away.

That person was Bi Su, he joined the Ding family's convoy at Huanshuikeng, and then headed towards Guangyuan, nearly six hours earlier than Ding Hao and the others.On the way, he met Kong Wen from Puji Temple and two disciples, and Bi Su was alone, so he wanted to go with them. This time Bi Su learned a good lesson. He knew that although he knew nothing about Buddhism, he also didn't know many Buddhist rules at all, so he claimed that he had just become a monk with his master. Unexpectedly, he met a robber on his way, beat his master to death, and wandered alone in the rivers and lakes Yun Yun, who was crying and crying, was extremely miserable, Monk Kongwen felt compassion and took him on the road together.They also encountered a snowstorm on the road, because they were walking lightly, and Kongwen was familiar with the road, so they arrived two days earlier than the Dingjialiang team.

Bisu talked sweetly all the way, he just wanted someone to take care of him and walk out of the wilderness. As soon as he arrived at Puji Temple, he wanted to secretly leave to go to Guangyuan City to have fun. He didn't want to know that there was a noble person living in the backyard of this temple. General Cheng's female relatives donated a full 10,000 taels of incense when they settled in Puji Temple this time, and they suddenly became greedy, thinking that this person is rich and honored, if they can get his vote, maybe they can wash their hands and become a rich family Weng. Because of this thought, he pretended to be a monk with a sincere heart, and first became a little novice monk in the temple, looking for opportunities to steal money from the lay protector.The matter of the Ding family had long been forgotten by him, and now he heard that the Ding family's convoy had left, but he didn't know that the friend who had spoiled his good deeds in Qingshui was still here. Xuanfa rolled his eyes and said: Has the Hall of Merit been cleaned up, the lamp oil has been filled up. Bi Su smiled and said: "It's all cleaned up, and the lamp oil is also filled up." Xuanfa snorted and said: "Then go back and wait for a good life. You just broke into this temple too?"There are noble people living here, so don't disturb them. Yes yes yes, Bisu will go back now. As a monk who knows guests, Xuanfa cares most about gains and losses in the monastery. He doesn't like this little novice who eats for free, but this little novice was brought back by Master Kongwen's mercy, and it is not easy to drive out, so he took the little novice With a flick of his sleeve, he walked away. Looking at the back of the know-it-all monk Xuanfa, Bisu put away his smiling face, and cursed fiercely: Grandma, I think I'm a famous man with all my hands, but I was called by you, a bald donkey who looks down upon others. Call to go.Hmph, sooner or later I want you to look good. After finishing speaking, he took a sneaky glance at the opposite side of the Lianqiao in Chishui, smiled slyly, and then swayed back to the Hall of Merit and Virtue humming a little tune.
