Chapter 60 Monk Fu Yi
With Fu Ruiming's rejection and obstruction, Cheng Nianying's persistence seemed natural and not at all unusual.
The young monk waited patiently for the two of them to come up with a conclusion, and then he really took Cheng Nianying with him to "eliminate disasters and borrow luck."
Cheng Nianying also met other pilgrims on the way.
She took a quick glance and saw that they were all women.
"Please take a seat here, pilgrim." The young monk guided her to the front of the hall.
Fu Ruiming was stopped outside the courtyard gate: "If this pilgrim has something to ask for, he must wait for the previous person to come out before he can enter."
Fu Ruiming held the hilt of the knife with one hand.
The novice monk who tried to stop him saw this, but without batting an eyelid, he turned around and said to him, "You have a strong murderous aura. You will probably go to hell in the future."
Fu Ruiming's expression was grim: "Will you follow me in?"
The novice monk was speechless. Seeing that he couldn't scare him, he turned his head away in boredom.
Fortunately, Fu Ruiming was standing outside the door and could see Cheng Nianying, otherwise he would have followed her in regardless of the obstruction.
He saw his cousin's wife brush her skirt and sit down on the cushion outside the hall.
A big monk came out and put a piece of yellow paper in front of her, as if asking her to write something.
“Write down what you want first.”
"Write down your name and where you live," said the monk.
"Where do you live?" Cheng Nianying looked up.
"There may be someone with the same name. The Buddha wants to fulfill your wish and will not give the name to someone else by mistake." What the abbot said made a lot of sense.
Cheng Nianying held a thin piece of yellow paper.
I thought this was a net that filtered out people's plight and family background.
She whispered, "Get out of the way."
The monk chanted "Amitabha" and turned away.
Cheng Nianying glanced at the monk's robes. This monk was so inexperienced that he couldn't even recognize what kind of person she was.
A moment later.
Cheng Nianying folded the yellow paper and said, "Okay."
"Go and buy some incense." The big monk took the yellow paper.
The young monk then led Cheng Nianying into the hall.
The Buddha statue built in the hall was taller than the one in the Prince's Mansion. Cheng Nianying looked up, but the Buddha's head was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
The door slammed shut with a bang.
The young monk left her alone in the temple.
I think it was the same for the pilgrims who came to worship Buddha in the past.
Cheng Nianying walked around the hall like this. Perhaps because she had seen so many Buddha statues in the Prince's Mansion, she didn't feel scared at this moment.
Finding traps was almost instinctive for a killer, so it didn't take her long.
There was a soft "click" sound.
Cheng Nianying withdrew her hand.
I saw the offerings on the incense table turn in a circle, and a door opened behind the Buddha statue.
Cheng Nianying walked towards the door without changing her expression, and at the same time threw the copper lamp body at the door, blocking it.
Inside the tall Buddha statue, there was actually a spiral staircase going upwards.
At first glance, you can't see the top, as if it goes straight to the sky.
Cheng Nianying knew that time was running out, so she tapped her toes and swiftly headed straight to the top.
When we reached the top platform, two rays of light shone through the Buddha's eyes, illuminating this small space.
A chair is placed in the center.
If someone sat there, he would be able to overlook everything that was happening in the hall.
But right now... there's no one here.
Is there nothing to be gained?
Cheng Nianying did not give up and went up to the platform to continue searching.
There was indeed nothing else except the chair, not even a candle.
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment, then walked over to the chair and sat down. Then, she lowered her head and carefully stroked the chair's armrests... Finally, she made a discovery. A piece of fabric was hanging from the wood of the right armrest.
She took off the fabric and put it into her purse.
A brief sketch of this person has already been made.
In a state of extreme relaxation, he was accustomed to sitting leaning to the right, and his right hand often stroked the armrest, leaving marks of the years.
The young monk knocked on the door and said, "Pilgrim, have you paid your respects?"
The sound was amplified by the empty hall and finally fell into Cheng Nianying's ears.
She stood up calmly, and looked for any shoe prints on the ground before walking out of the Buddha statue and putting the candlesticks and offerings back in their places.
The young monk was already a little anxious: "Pilgrim? Pilgrim? Your husband is looking for you."
Cheng Nianying's voice finally rang out through the door: "The door of your palace is too heavy. I can't push it open."
The young monk smiled when he heard the voice and said, "I'm here."
He rolled up his sleeves and pushed it away.
Cheng Nianying walked out quickly and saw Fu Yi, who was wearing a green cloak, standing beside Fu Ruiming.
"Zimao said you went to worship Buddha for me." Fu Yi said.
"Hmm."
"To dispel disasters and borrow good fortune..." Fu Yi smiled, "My luck is already good enough, you don't need to borrow it for me anymore."
Cheng Nianying nodded and asked, "Is it done?"
"Yeah." Fu Yi brushed her hair. "Why is your forehead sweating?"
Cheng Nianying hurried to get the handkerchief.
Fu Yi took over: "Let me do it."
Seeing this, Fu Ruiming turned sideways and stared at the trees planted in the yard.
Seeing how loving his brother and sister-in-law were, he actually wanted to get married.
…
After all, His Majesty was accompanying them, so they left without staying here for long.
Back in the carriage, the emperor took out the spoils of their trip to Tianguang Temple - a pile of ordination certificates.
"Tianguang Temple is small and not well-known, so it would be great to borrow their name," said the emperor.
But there's something weird here.
Is it really true that nothing will happen if I use their certificates of ordination?
Cheng Nianying blinked and turned to look at Fu Yi.
Fu Yi looked calm.
"Doesn't the prince want to dress her up as a little nun? She doesn't want to shave her head?" The prince's voice sounded in the corner.
Cheng Nianying looked at him.
The prince was wearing a hooded cloak that covered him so tightly that his appearance was almost invisible.
Fu Yi said, "Just shave mine, why shave hers?"
"Okay, let's go." The emperor interrupted.
Cheng Nianying couldn't help but turn her head to look at the hood on Fu Yi's head.
Has he shaved all his hair?
The carriage sped away from the Imperial Capital.
When they arrived at the next city to rest, Cheng Nianying finally saw what Fu Yi looked like.
He took off his hood, untied his cloak and handed it to Fu Ruiming.
He was dressed in a black and white monk's robe, his black hair was completely shaved off, and his handsome features were neatly exposed. Not only was he not ugly, but his good looks were even more strongly impressed on people.
Thus, the former gentleness was washed away, leaving only indifference and aggressiveness.
Cheng Nianying's heart shuddered.
It feels like standing in front of a Buddha statue and being judged.
Fu Ruiming hung up his cloak and went out. After locking the door, Fu Yi walked slowly towards her, his tone still gentle: "Did you get scared?"
Cheng Nianying nodded.
She looks well-behaved, but in fact she is very brave. It is really rare to see her like this... Fu Yi walked closer, raised his hand to hold the back of her neck, and lowered his head to almost kiss her face.
He laughed and said, "If that's the case, would you still be afraid of someone wearing monk's robes?"
Cheng Nianying's body was soft and she slipped away from his arms very nimbly.
She frowned and said, "We can't sleep together."
Fu Yi: “…”
Cheng Nianying: "I'm scared."
She said this and hurried out.
The prince came from the other side. When he saw Cheng Nianying, he said with a smile, "Why did you come out? Oh, lying with a monk is really weird, isn't it?"
The prince has handsome features, so he doesn't look weird in this outfit.
But when Cheng Nianying looked at him, she did not feel any fear or resistance.
Probably because I punched him a few times...
The prince saw that Cheng Nianying didn't say anything, but just stared at him, which made his back feel goosebumps.
"I won't do anything to you. Why are you looking at me like that?" The prince took the initiative.
Cheng Nianying lowered her gaze and walked away.
Instead, the prince felt bored and empty.

On the other side, a stack of yellow paper was brought to the man.
He sat sideways, flipping through the pictures one by one, and finally one of them stood out, which was particularly eye-catching.
Just because there is a turtle painted on it.
"He must be here to cause trouble!" The subordinate gritted his teeth.
man:"……"
The wound on his abdomen that had already healed seemed to start hurting again.
How fresh.
He was actually being targeted!
