251 Hui Chen's Transparency and Enlightenment
"Half a foot high?" Zhao Youting, the Eighth Sage King, asked back.
Alatanamuki replied casually: "Yes, I looked down from the arched window just now, and I could only poke my head out. It might be very difficult to climb up."
Ni Qi on the side nodded and pondered, then smiled and said to Jing Zhaoyin Li Cunxun: "Lord Li, remember to check the stature of those young monks to see if it is easy for them to climb the arched window?"
"Yes, the officer has recorded it."
Alatanamuki deliberately showed an innocent and pure attitude, looked left and right, and said to the eight sage king Zhao Youting: "His Royal Highness, if you have nothing to ask the servant, the servant will not talk too much. I believe that all the adults present are more concerned than the servant. clear."
Ni Qi hurriedly said: "Okay, you, you have to talk too much to show off, stand behind me, don't make trouble for His Royal Highness King Xian and everyone, you know?"
Alata Namuqiyi pouted: "My lord, you are the only one who finds me troublesome."
"Okay." Ni Qi thought she was about to stand quietly behind her, but seeing her standing still, she asked, "What's the matter?"
Alatan Muqi's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just hope that the young master will bring his slaves with him every day in the future, and don't dislike the slaves anymore, okay?"
Ni Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Youting, the Eighth Sage King, Dali Temple Minister Yu Liangdong, and Jing Zhaoyin Li Cunyun, who were beside him in embarrassment. He immediately gritted his teeth and replied with a smirk: "Okay, of course."
"As long as you are obedient and don't make trouble for me, I will definitely follow you wherever I go."
"My lord Ni, there is such a charming and beautiful servant girl who wholeheartedly swears to follow her to the death, and will follow her wherever she goes, what more can I ask for in life?"
Dali Temple Minister Yu Liangdong immediately showed envy, and sighed: "Master Ni, don't be dissatisfied, you should cherish it!"
The Eight Sage Kings Zhao Youting and Jing Zhaoyin Li Cunxun on the side both agreed and couldn't stop nodding in agreement.
Not long after, the news that the Eighth Worthy King Zhao Youting arrived at the Da Ci'en Temple in disguise still disappeared. The abbot of the Da Ci'en Temple, the old monk Huinuma, left the scene in person and led all the monks out to greet him.
After all, the Eighth Sage King Zhao Youting is usually considered the biggest benefactor of the Da Ci'en Temple, which is why the Da Ci'en Temple and the Temple are supporting him behind the scenes.
Not wanting to have more contact with the monks of the Da Ci'en Temple, Ni Qi took Alatana Muqi alone and left the team of the Eight Sage Kings, and left the corner gate of the backyard of the Da Ci'en Temple to the next courtyard connected to the Da Ci'en Temple middle.
This courtyard is small in scale and extremely quiet. The vegetation in the courtyard is withered, the houses are old, and the atmosphere is very bleak.
Alatanamuki looked around and asked curiously: "My lord, these houses seem to be meditation rooms, but they are not in the Da Ci'en Temple. What exactly are they?"
Ni Qi said: "Alatana Muqi, do you know that Daci'en Temple is a temple specially designated by the Nanqing court to collect scriptures and translate scriptures?"
Alatanamuki nodded slightly: "I've heard about this as a maidservant who has been stationed in the capital of Nanqing with His Royal Highness the Princess for a long time."
Ni Qi said again: "There are more than ten monasteries in Nanqing that have translated Buddhist scriptures, and Da Ci'en Temple is just one of them, and it is also the largest one."
"This place is the place where the scriptures are stored and translated in the Da Ci'en Temple, and it is called the Translation Institute."
"Among the translators are monks and some laymen, so they are not located in the courtyard of Da Ci'en Temple."
"Although the Institute of Translating Scriptures is attached to the Da Ci'en Temple, it is actually under the unified management of the Honglu Temple."
"So that's it, the servant has been taught."
Just as they were talking, the two came to the largest meditation room in the center of the courtyard.
A monk with white beard and hair was already standing in front of the meditation room, his eyes were slightly closed, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the two of them, saying: "You two benefactors, this old monk is very polite."
Ni Qi was taken aback for a moment, and stared at the old monk for a long time, suspecting that this guy was another character like a sweeping monk, so he asked: "I don't know the name of the great mage, I'm Ni Qi!"
The old monk choked for a while, then sighed: "It's Master Ni, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, the poor monk's dharma name is Huichen."
"So it's Master Huichen, sorry for your disrespect!" Ni Qi pretended quickly.
"Lord Ni, Huichen knows that it is really difficult for you to follow the Eight Wise Kings, worry about the affairs of the country, and devote all your energy to it. How can you be free today?"
The old monk Huichen said: "However, from my point of view, Master Ni, you have a predestined relationship with my Buddha, and your Buddha roots are deep. As long as you join my Buddhist sect, you will surely be able to advance by leaps and bounds in the Dharma, and shine brightly in the future, and become a rare eminent monk in the Dharma sect. "
Ni Qi shook his head again and again, and suddenly said: "Master Huichen, I have no intention of becoming a monk."
As he spoke, he did not forget to look at Alatanamuki beside him: "Besides, there are always beautiful maidservants and concubines by my side, which is quite self-satisfying. It's better to be a Beijing official in the imperial court to be more comfortable."
"Old mage, still look at Haihan, don't you think of persuading goodness to escape into Buddhism?"
"Alas, all people in the world are burdened by fame and wealth, and are fascinated by the world of mortals," said the old monk Huichen with deep meaning.
"Master Ni, you are no exception. One day you will see through what is all for naught in the end."
"Master Huichen, what's wrong with your eyes?" Ni Qi suddenly noticed that the old monk seemed to be blind and unable to see.
The old monk Huichen smiled lightly: "I have already completely lost my sight. Well, it's fine if you can't see it. If you can't see it, your heart will be purer."
Ni Qi was silent, standing there in a daze.
It was still the old monk Huichen who greeted: "Master Ni, you have a predestined relationship with my Buddha, the old monk can feel the power of Buddhist vows and luck in you, the chance..."
"Don't be in a hurry to leave today. If you are not in a hurry, please sit in the room. Let's have a good chat. It's rare, and that female benefactor..."
Ni Qi finally found out that this master Huichen was the master in charge of the School of Translation, but he met him here by chance.
Although he often litigated scriptures, read scriptures, translated scriptures and forgot to eat and sleep, he was blinded by reading, but his heart was as clear as snow, and he immediately felt that Ni Qi had penetrated the Buddhist foundation and exquisite Buddhist teachings of the Great Karma Technique.
In the simple meditation room of old monk Huichen, the three of them sat for a long time.
Ni Qi finally broke the silence first: "Master Huichen, you and I are also destined to meet today, please help me, in the future it will be regarded as a year-end friendship, and I will be a high-ranking master."
Hui Chen shook his head: "My lord, Mrs. Ni, is generous, and the poor monk is the same. I can't ask for it."
"Since he lost his eyesight, the poor monk's heart has become more transparent."
"Master Ni, your future is boundless, and the old monk can already foresee it."
"I just hope that one day in the future, you can raise your hand high, don't hate the many offenses in our temple, and leave our temple as decent and peaceful as ever?"
Ni Qi smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "Master is so high on me, I am really surprised!"
The old monk Huichen's voice was trembling, and he suddenly recited: "He Tu has been scattered for a few years, and it is sad to say... Reminiscing about the past is still in my mind, and these people have turned into dung, so they can recover. !"
