A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1429

[Chapter 1418 Spread Your Wings and Fly High]

The Daguang Temple in Zijingshan has been a royal Buddhist temple since the founding of the kingdom of Chu. In addition to accepting incense from the common people, the imperial court also allocates a sum of money to the temple every year.

Since the Great Guangming Temple was awarded the Royal Buddhist Temple, it has experienced four presiding officers. The current one has supported Master Kongzang for a very long time. It has been nearly 30 years. The temple is full of awe for Master Kongzang. Everyone knows that if there is not a great master in the world, then the martial arts cultivation of Master Kongzo can be said to be one of the best in the world.

Master Kongzang has a profound Buddhist teaching. He has practiced in the temple all the year round. He has not been down the mountain for many years. The last time he went down the mountain was after the death of the previous emperor.

In the world, only the emperor can make Master Kongzang go out and do things in person.

When Qi Ning came to the Daguang Temple, it was already dusk.

He himself didn’t know what force made him come to this royal monastery again, but he knew that if he wanted to really solve the mystery that had entangled him for a long time, he had to come to the Great Bright Temple.

Compared with the past, the Daguang Temple has not changed in any way.

As the king of the empire, Qi Ning is of course qualified to enter the Daguang Temple to worship the Buddha, and he did come to the Daguang Temple alone again in the name of worshipping the Buddha.

If Qi Ning was only a marquis, going up the mountain would not necessarily make the Daguang Temple go to war, but as a prince, the reception of the Daguang Temple was naturally unusual. When Qi Ning came to the treasure hall, Master Jingkong was already welcoming him in person.

Under Master Kongzang of Daguangming Temple, there are thirteen monks of Daguangming Temple. Master Jingkong ranks very high among the thirteen monks. Since Master Jingchen was killed by King Muye, Master Jingkong’s position in Daguang Temple has been second only to Kong. Master Zang, who came to receive him personally by Master Jingkong, can be regarded as giving Qi Ning a lot of face.

Officials of the imperial court, many people come to the temple to worship Buddha every year, and often bring many people up the mountain, sending rich incense money, it is extremely rare to worship the Buddha alone in the mountain like Qi Ning.

According to the rules in the temple, Qi Ning asked Qi Ning to take a break in the meditation room in the side hall after worshiping the Buddha.

The last time Qi Ning was in the Daguang Temple, it was King Muye who made a scene at the Treasure Temple. Since then, he has never climbed the mountain again. That is the only time Qi Ning saw Master Kongzang.

Jingkong ordered the novice to bring tea, Qi Ning looked around, the meditation room was elegant and clean, and said with a smile: “It’s been a long time since I went up the mountain, everything is as usual. Back then, the king was seriously injured and was in danger. Fortunately, the Daguang Temple came to the rescue

. Great

kindness, I have never dared to forget it.”

Master Jingkong put his hands together and smiled: “Amitabha, that is the fate between the prince and this temple.”

“Master Jingkong, I am alone on the mountain today, you must be very strange.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “Actually In addition to coming to worship the Buddha today, there are some things that I want to ask your temple for advice!” Master Jingkong said

gently, “Your Highness, please tell me!”

“Nearly twenty years ago, something happened in the Jinyihou mansion.” Qi Ning knew that In front of the eminent monk, there is really no need to beat around the bush and say straight to the point: “My mother was pregnant at the time and was about to give birth. In those few days, your temple sent some people to the Jinyihou mansion, and they stayed in the Jinyihou mansion for a few days. I don’t know. Master still remember this?”

Master Jingkong did not change his face, smiled and said: “My lord,

there are nearly a thousand people up and down the Daguang Temple, and there are countless things that happen every day. I usually invite people from the temple to go there, and there are not a few people who go down the mountain every year. What the lord said, nearly 20 years, the time is too long, and the poor monk really can’t remember.”

“Master, don’t you remember? Qi Ning had long guessed that the panic would answer like this. He was not impatient or impatient. He smiled and said: “The monks from your temple went to the capital to do things. Dharma matters are to be done, but Lin’er is about to be born. Under this situation, this king really doesn’t understand why the eminent monk of Daguang Temple appeared in the Hou residence.”

Jingkong shook his head and said, “The poor monk really doesn’t know.” He raised his hand and said, “Your Highness, please have some tea. You will sit here. The poor monk has some trivial matters, so go out and deal with it.” , Qi Ning suddenly said: “So, the master does not know that there are monks in your temple who have been lurking in

the

Jinyihou mansion?”

He closed the door, turned around, and said, “What did your lord say?”

“What did the Daguang Temple send to hide in the residence of the important officials of the imperial court?” Qi Ning said lightly, “The Daguang Temple is a royal temple, and it is subject to the great power of the imperial court. The people of Chu enjoy incense and enjoy the protection of the imperial court, but they do such illegal things in the dark. Master Jingkong, among the laws and regulations of the Great Chu, there is no one that allows the monks of the Great Bright Temple to lurk in the palace of the ministers of the court. Who is this in your temple? Sent? If the master cannot give this king an explanation, this king can only ask the emperor to send someone to investigate the matter.”

Master Jingkong frowned slightly.

Qi Ning picked up the teacup and said indifferently: “Since I have already started straight to the point today, the master naturally understands that if there is no answer, this matter will not be solved easily. The master forgot what happened back then, and maybe he didn’t know that there were monks lurking in the residence of the important officials. If this is the case, please ask the master to speak to Master Kongzang on his behalf, just say that this king asks to see the master in charge. This king has already checked, when your temple sent people to Jinyi Houfu, Master Kongzang was It is the presiding officer of your temple, maybe Master Kongzang knows about things you don’t know.”

Master Jingkong’s lips moved slightly, but he hesitated before he finally bowed slightly, turned to open the door and left.

Qi Ning used his trump card, but he couldn’t be sure whether Master Kongzang really met him, but Qi Ning knew very well that if there was only one person in the Great Bright Temple who knew the truth of the original matter, it could only be Master Kongzang.

After waiting for a long time, the sky was already dark, and a little novice came in to light the oil lamp, and helped Qi Ning change the tea several times.

Qi Ning is not impatient, he has always kept his temper.

After a long time, I finally saw Master Jingkong entering the house, with a calm expression, and he said, “Your Highness, please come with the poor monk!” Without talking nonsense, he turned around and left.

Qi Ning got up immediately and followed.

Master Jingkong was walking forward, and Qi Ning followed behind. All the monks stopped walking and salute when they saw it.

The Daguang Temple has three pavilions, five floors, seven halls, and eighteen halls. It is large in scale and beautifully constructed. However, Qi Ning does not know where Master Kongzang lives. Walking through the temple, Master Jingkong is light in his movements and steps in his footsteps. Very fast, Qi Ning’s current martial arts cultivation will never be under the master of the empty space. Naturally, he can easily keep up with it, and even surpassing the empty space is extremely easy, but he always follows behind the empty space and

keeps a distance.

After passing Tiandemen, Jingdu Yaotai, Wuyuanjing, Yuruoyuan, and then passing through Prajnatai, we entered a dense forest.

Qi Ning was astonished. He became more and more familiar with this road. When he was in the Daguang Temple, Master Jingkong seemed to have led him down this road, and the places he passed were exactly the same.

In the night, the sky is full of stars, the light is shining down, and the forest is peaceful.

“This is an ancient forest!” Qi Ning frowned and said, “Why did the master bring me here?”

At this time, Qi Ning had already recognized that the place where he was now was an ancient forest on Zijing Mountain. , There is a lonely house in the forest, and the body of Master Jingchen was found in the lonely house in the ancient forest.

Master Jingkong still did not speak, and continued to move forward. Soon, Qi Ning saw a light appearing in front of him. The forest was dark, so the light was very conspicuous. In a moment, it was close, and a wooden house was in the forest. The light is transmitted from the wooden house, and this is indeed the place where Master Jingchen was killed.

Master Qingkong stopped and gave Qi Ning a salute, but turned around and went back to the road. Qi Ning was surprised, and before he thought about it, he heard a voice from inside the wooden house: “Your Highness, please come in!”

Qi Ning hesitated. Finally, I walked to the door of the wooden house and saw a wooden table with a solitary lamp inside. An old monk sat cross-legged beside the table, holding a Buddhist scripture on the table in front of him. The old monk turned his rosary in his hand and turned his head. Come, kind face and good eyes, it is the master Kongzang who presides over the Great Guangming Temple.

Seeing this eminent monk, Qi Ning felt a sense of respect in his heart. He entered the house and bowed his hands to Master Kongzang. Master Kongzang said calmly, “It was Junior Brother Jingchen who brought people to Jinyi Hou’s mansion. Remember, this is the place where he passed away.”

Qi Ning’s heart froze, not expecting that Master Kongzang would also come straight to the point.

Master Kongzang raised his hand and motioned for Qi Ning to sit down. Qi Ning walked over lightly, sat down opposite Master Kongzang, raised his head to see Master Kongzang’s deity, and was silent for a while, before saying, “Master should know that I am going up the mountain today. What is it for?”

“Where did it come from, where did it go!”

Qi Ning looked solemn, UU reading www.

nodded and said: “What the master said is very true. If you don’t know where you came from, how do you know where you are going?”

“My lord, how about listening to the old monk tell a story first?”

Qi Ning said, “Listen to your teaching!”

“A hen hatched and raised several chicks, and one of them was unusual because it was a The eagle eggs mixed into it came out.” Master Kongzo was calm and his voice was gentle: “The little eagle takes the hen as the mother, and regards the other chicks as brothers and sisters. The habits are the same and have not changed. Day by day, it gives birth to It is also much stronger than a chick, it only thinks it looks different, has no other intentions, and has never spread its wings.”

Qi Ning frowned, the story sounded quite childish, but it was like a story for children, but I don’t know why Master Kongzo would tell such a story to himself.

“Until one day, an eagle descended from the sky and fed on the flocks of chickens. The little eagle found that he looked like an eagle and finally spread his wings.” Master Kongzo said slowly, “It was only then that it knew that it could spread its wings and fly high. ……..!”
