Chapter 353 Encounter!
Lu Zheng walked up the steps and walked to the end to find that this was not the way to the top of the mountain. At the end of the road, there was a small open space, which was just behind the huge Buddha statue.
From this point of view, this step should be the road used by carving the big Buddha and the carving craftsmen to climb up and down. Lu Zheng looked around and did not find much landscape, so he wanted to return the same way.
"Huh?" Lu Zheng was about to turn around when he suddenly found a man squatting on the ground and lowering his head, as if he was eating something.
Look at this man, wearing a gray monk's robe, a monk's hat on his head, and black hair can be seen in his temples. He should be a lay Buddhist who has not been ordained.
Judging from the figure, it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman, because the monk's robe is a bit wide and most of its figures are hidden in the dark, so Lu Zheng can only see his back.
"This..." Lu Zheng pondered in his heart, sniffed his nose, and couldn't help laughing. He asked why he was hiding alone here? It turned out that people were too greedy and were secretly eating meat here!
In a Buddhist place, meat is forbidden, and monks are greedy and eat meat secretly can be heard frequently. Although the person in front of him has not received the precepts, he is also a lay Buddhist who practices in the temple. He should be unable to hold back and found such a place to eat it!
Lu Zheng felt a prank in his heart, and deliberately cleared his throat and coughed hard, "Ah..." The figure hiding in the dark couldn't help but exclaim, and then Lu Zheng heard a giggle sound, obviously hiding something, and then, a head stretched out from behind the shadow. When Lu Zheng saw this face, he was shocked...
What I saw in front of me was a young woman. Her appearance was like the clear light of the crescent moon and the snow of flowers and trees. It was really beautiful and unconventional.
Such a beautiful woman was wearing a wide monk's robe and a strange monk's hat. Such an outfit would not look good on anyone. However, when Lu Zheng looked at the girl in front of him, he felt that it was unique and he was stunned for a moment.
"Haha" The girl smiled to relieve the awkwardness of the atmosphere. Lu Zheng saw that there was still crystal clear greasy corner of his mouth that had not been wiped clean, and couldn't help but smile knowingly:
"You keep going, I...I didn't see anything!"
The girl blushed, Yingying stood up and said quietly: "I...I'm not a monk..."
"I know, there are only male monks in the monk temple..."
The girl's face turned redder, and her tone became more anxious, and she said, "I...I am not a nun either..." After saying this, she seemed very excited and couldn't help but lower her head and cough. When she coughed, her face turned red. She wanted to speak but couldn't speak, and she looked quite painful.
A trace of guilt suddenly arose in Lu Zheng's heart, regretting not to joke with her. The girl coughed for a while and stopped coughing. She looked at Lu Zheng and said, "Are you not a layperson?"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a tourist. I'm just a quick look and take a look..."
The girl frowned slightly. She obviously had never heard of the words "tourist" mentioned by Lu Zheng, but she could understand the meaning after carefully savoring it. However, Lu Zheng said that she was just a little blushing, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Lu Zheng said: "Are you sick?"
The girl shook her head and said, "It's not a disease. She has loved coughing since she was a child. Now it's much better than before..."
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "I was disturbing you just now. You don't have to care. If you continue to eat, I will keep this secret. OK?"
The girl nodded and blushed slightly, "Actually... it was the master who didn't let me eat meat, which was said to be unfavorable for health care, but a bad person gave me food, so... so..."
Lu Zheng looked at the girl's appearance and felt that the woman in front of him was not only beautiful, but also had a white piece of paper, pure and clean, and he suddenly felt good and said:
"Actually, eating vegetarian food every day is very hard. Eating some meat occasionally is better for your body. The person who gives you food really cares about you!"
"Ah..." The girl exclaimed, as if she didn't expect Lu Zheng to speak like this. She stared at Lu Zheng and said, "You are a bit interesting. You don't sound like you are from a capital city! Could it be that you came from another place?"
"I am from Jiangnan. My surname is Lu, and my single name is Zheng." Lu Zheng said his name and waited for something to say. A Ying'er shout suddenly came from below: "Young master, are you above?"
When the girl heard someone coming up, her face changed and she subconsciously wanted to hide it. But there was just such a large open space here, where was her hiding place?
Seeing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help laughing, and immediately turned around and said, "Ying'er, this is just a pavement for carving the big Buddha. It has been abandoned and there is no point in sight. Let's go to other places."
As Lu Zheng said, he walked down the steps. Before leaving, he glanced at the girl in monk's clothes. The girl's eyes were full of gratitude. Lu Zheng smiled again and walked slowly.
Ying'er was waiting for him below, but he didn't see any clues. The master and servant walked to the front of the Buddha again, and Lu Zheng's mind was still the same as the girl just now.
He thought that the girl must have come down from above, and must have to go around in front to get in the room. However, after waiting for a long time, he did not see it, and a feeling of loss arose in his heart for no reason.
"Young Master, it's getting late, we've made an appointment with the uncle!" Ying'er said, feeling a little strange in her heart. I don't know why Lu Zheng was circling around this big Buddha.
"Yeah, yeah!" Lu Zheng nodded and agreed, but his feet did not move and he was a little absent-minded.
"Clang, Clang!" Suddenly, two crisp bells rang, and the corridor leading to the Buddha suddenly became louder, and then someone heard a loud voice:
"Everyone is allowed to give in, and the idle people are waiting outside. The princess will arrive!"
More than a dozen guards immediately rushed out of the yard, blocking the corridor. Lu Zheng and Ying'er quickly stood behind the corridor.
A group of guards cleaned up the venue. At the end of the corridor, a woman in palace clothes was seen walking here surrounded by everyone.
Looking at this ceremonial guard, although it was a singular incense, it also had a surprising aura. Many people squeezed into the corridor, and only someone shouted: "Princess Qian is here, it's Princess Qian!"
Princess Long Qian of the Qin Palace walked to the front of the Buddha, and the young master Dai Shizhang, who was following her, had his eyes passing through the crowd like an eagle and a falcon. The noisy crowd instantly felt silent.
Dai Shizhang pursed his lips, as if he was satisfied with his deterrence. He turned his head to look at Princess Qian, but his eyes immediately became gentle and kind: "Princess, I knew you would come to see Jing'er. You are close friends in your heart, and you will have endless private words together..."
"Hmph! You know we are close friends, why do I do with her if I want to say private words? Could it be that you have the unique habit of eavesdropping on women's private words?" Long Qian said coldly.
"Uh..." Dai Shizhang was speechless, speechless, and looked extremely embarrassed. Not far away, someone in the corridor couldn't help but laugh. Dai Shizhang was furious and turned his head to look for the person who was laughing, but now there are so many people, where can he find a target?
Princess Qian had already walked a long way forward when he was distracted. When he gritted his teeth and quickly chased after him, Princess Qian suddenly stopped and turned around.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Dai Shizhang and said, "Dai Shizhang, are your ears really deaf? I said don't follow me, get out!"
Long Qian said the word "get out", like spring thunder blooming, her eyes were filled with wishing to eat people. You should know that this is a Buddhist gatekeeper, and ordinary pilgrims who burn incense are stopped outside and are not allowed to come in.
Behind Longqian is the Buddha. On this occasion, Longqian suddenly became angry and almost did not give Dai Shizhang any face. This made everyone around him look at him and all looked shocked.
You should know that although Princess Qian is noble, Dai Shizhang's background is not simple. He is the son of the current chief minister Dai Xiang. If you want to say that the Dakang Empire is the most powerful now, Dai Gao is under one person and above ten thousand people!
Even Princess Qian treated him with such an identity as Dai Shizhang, and Dai Shizhang's face became extremely ugly, but he didn't say anything after all. After Princess Qian scolded someone, her breath seemed to ease a lot. She turned around and headed straight for the rows of lay Buddhists' rows of houses.
Long Qianer was in a very bad mood. The most talked about in the capital these days was the marriage between the Qin Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was said that the Qin King intended to marry Princess Qian to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which means that Long Qianer might become Dai Shizhang's wife.
After hearing this news, Long Qian'er was so cold that she couldn't believe her ears. However, soon her mother talked to her. This absurd and unruly thing sounded really was a fact!
With Long Qianer's personality, how could she accept this? The man she likes must be very talented and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not to mention being the top scorer in the Golden Palace, she must be at least the second scorer, Tanhua!
What is Dai Shizhang? He is young and ignorant. He only knows how to do evil things and cause trouble. The people in the capital call him "locusts"!
Long Qian didn't like this man from the bottom of her heart. Now that the King of Qin wants to betroth her to Dai Shizhang, how could she be willing? She immediately made a big fuss in the palace, and then went to the princess's house to cry to the princess, but naturally she was hit by a wall.
The marriage of the royal family has always been an exchange of interests, so how can there be a marriage for children that fulfill their wishes? Not to mention that Long Qian is above the top and it is difficult to fall in love with a man she likes, even if she really likes someone, will this marriage be successful? It is impossible to think about it.
What is the status of the princess of the Qin Palace? Where can I get the right to marry a woman with such status in an ordinary portal? Long Qian is not stupid. She was born in the imperial family, how could she not understand this truth?
