18. The King of Yan went to Jiming Temple alone to invite Monk Daoyan down the mountain!
Lord Yan's residence
gymnasium
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, recalled his past with Yao Guangxiao and knew that he was talented.
He said sadly in his heart, Only this person can protect twelfth brother.”
Beside him, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun smiled like a flower." Your Highness, do you understand?"”
Zhu Di looked at Princess Consort Yan and nodded. His eyes were firm as he said,"Many thanks for wangfei's advice, benwang understands!”
said
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, walked out of the martial arts arena.
Xu Miaoyun, who was standing at the same spot, looked at Zhu Di's figure with a smile on her face.
Zhu Di left the martial arts field and went to the stable to drag a fast horse.
He headed straight for a monastery in the suburbs.
This temple was called Jiming Temple, and it was the place where Monk Dao Yan cultivated before becoming a monk.
At present, Dao Yan was still staying in Chicken Crow Temple.
At the foot of Jiming Temple, Zhu Di tied the reins in his hand to the inn at the foot of the mountain.
Walking up the mountain alone!
There was only one purpose for this trip, and that was to invite Monk Dao Yan down the mountain!
He went south to Qiongzhou to assist King Qiongzhou Zhu Bai.
In less than an hour, the young Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, had already reached the top of the mountain.
Under the guidance of the small monk, Zhu Di came to the meditation room where Monk Dao Yan was resting.
"Benefactor, Zen Master Dao Yan is meditating inside. Please wait a moment. I will go in and report.”
The young novice monk who led the way put his palms together and bowed to Zhu Di. "Amitabha."
"Thank you, Little Master!"
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, also imitated the monks. He put his palms together and returned with a bow.
Not long after the little monk entered, the tightly shut wooden door of the meditation room was pushed open again.
"Patron, Zen Master Dao Yan invites you in.”
"Thank you for leading the way, Little Master."
After the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, entered the meditation room, the little monk standing outside the door gently closed the door.
When Zhu Di walked into the meditation room, he saw Monk Dao Yan sitting cross-legged with his back facing him and the wall.
"Zen Master!"
Zhu Di called out softly to Dao Yan who was meditating. He then put his palms together and bowed.
"Your highness has graced us with your presence. This penniless monk did not come to welcome you, please forgive me, your highness.”
After he finished speaking, Zen Master Dao Yan slowly turned around, but his eyes were still tightly shut." Your Highness, please sit."”
"Zen Master, this king has come to ask for a favor. I wonder..."
Before Zhu Di could finish his sentence, Zen Master Dao Yan had already slowly opened his triangular eyes that symbolized fiendish spirit.
Zen Master Dao Yan reached out and took a bamboo stick, shaking it a few times in his hand.
Zhu Di looked at the bamboo stick and his expression turned serious.
"Your Highness, let's draw a lot first."
Zen Master Dao Yan handed the bucket of bamboo sticks to Zhu Di.
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, leaned forward slightly and took out a bamboo stick. After looking at it, he handed it to Dao Yan.
The bamboo stick that was drawn had the words: Palace of Fortune and Misfortune
Zen Master Dao Yan looked at the bamboo stick with his triangular eyes and carefully looked at it again and again before saying,""Your highness is here for the matter of His Highness Xiang Wang?”
Zhu Di's purpose for coming here had been hit by Zen Master Dao Yan's words, and he was instantly shocked.
He sighed in his heart.
"May I ask, Zen Master, how do you explain this divination?" he asked hurriedly.”
Zen Master Dao Yan slowly closed his triangular eyes and held his breath for a long time.
Then, he slowly spat out four words,"Turn misfortune into good fortune."”
Hearing these words, the King of Yan was shocked and said worriedly,""What is fierce?"
Zen Master Dao Yan opened his eyes unhurriedly and said word by word,""If the terrain is to the south, it is dangerous. There's danger in the south."
After listening to Zen Master Dao Yan's explanation, Zhu Di was stunned at first and then said,""Can it be solved?"
"I need a lucky item."
Zen Master Dao Yan looked at Zhu Di, the King of Yan, and said unhurriedly,""This auspicious item can turn misfortune into good fortune.”
"What is it? This king will go get it now!"
At this moment, how could Zhu Di not understand what Monk Dao Yan was saying? He was trying to say that Prince Xiang Zhu Bai was in trouble.
How could Zhu Di not be anxious when his 12th brother was in trouble?
However, Zen Master Dao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, did not say anything. He only smiled and shook his head.
long time
"Isn't Your Highness here to find this auspicious item?" Dao Yan asked slowly.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was stunned at first. Then, he looked at Dao Yan." Since you already know the purpose of my trip, please give me a condition."”
"It's not difficult for Your Highness to want This Penniless Monk to go south.”
Monk Dao Yan spoke very slowly." However, before I set off, I still want to ask for something from His Highness, the King of Yan.”
"What do you want?"
Zhu Di said anxiously," Zen Master, just say it. I can immediately send someone to get it!”
Dao Yan shook his head with a smile again and extended a slender index finger.
He pointed at the jade token on Zhu Di's waist.
Zhu Di looked down in the direction where Monk Dao Yan was pointing.
then
He used his hand to pull off the jade token hanging on his waist.
This jade token was divided into two sides, Yin and Yang.
On the sunny side, the word "Ming" was engraved in small seal script.
On the dark side, there was also a "Di" character carved in small seal script.
This was the jade token given by Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, when he conferred the titles of the princes.
This jade token represented the identity of a prince.
Similarly, at this moment, a jade token was still hanging on Zhu Bai's waist.
The word "Ming" was engraved on the positive side, and the word "Bai" was engraved on the negative side.
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, held the jade token in his hand and pondered for a moment.
Then, he extended his hand and passed his jade token to Monk Dao Yan.
Dao Yan took the jade token and nodded.
"When does Zen Master plan to set off? This king can also send troops to escort the Zen master to the south!”
Zhu Di was anxious, but he did not care about anything else. He said,"I hope that Zen Master can help my brother turn misfortune into fortune when he arrives in Qiongzhou!”
After he finished speaking, Zhu Di once again made a prayer to Monk Dao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged.
Zen Master Dao Yan put the jade token of Zhu Di into his sleeve unhurriedly and said leisurely,""If Your Highness is worried, this poor monk will set off now.”
"That's good!"
Zhu Di was delighted and immediately stood up."I will go down the mountain and arrange for 300 soldiers to escort you south to Qiongzhou!”
"Amitabha!"
Monk Dao Yan also slowly stood up and returned Zhu Di's greeting." There's no need for Your Highness to worry. This Penniless Monk alone is enough!”
" But it's a thousand miles away from Qiongzhou. It's a long journey, I'm afraid there might be an accident…"
Zhu Di didn't understand and continued," For the Zen Master's comfort, I'd better send someone to escort him!"”
"Zen Master, you can rest assured. This King will explain to them clearly that I will not disturb Zen Master's cultivation on the way!”
He had already said that, but Monk Dao Yan still shook his head and said slowly,""This trip to Qiongzhou is regarded as a dangerous trip. If we escort them along the way, where will the danger come from? How can I be fierce?"
"But…"
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry. If this poor monk can safely reach Qiongzhou, I will write a letter to Your Highness to report my safety.”
"If this penniless monk had passed away on the road to the south, King Qiong's death would have been resolved by this penniless monk.”
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! (Kowtow!)
