Chapter 66: Only those with whom we are destined to be saved
Chu Qinshu didn't say a word when she arrived in Master Jingkong's arms. She just looked at him obediently and quietly.
The enlightened monks are not ordinary people, and who knows whether they can see her background.
"It's okay to know your origins. You are a normal reincarnation, not a ghost taking possession of your body. Not drinking Meng Po soup is a privilege given to you by Hades, and the human world has no right to interfere."
Little Gourd felt Master Jingkong's gaze, and naturally also felt his master's thoughts, so he hurriedly spoke out to comfort her.
Chu Qinshu listened to Xiao Hulu's words and said nothing.
In the original book, Master Jingkong was either traveling or in seclusion, and was basically a character who never showed up.
It was not until a fire in Xiangguo Temple several years later that people discovered that he had already passed away in a cave in the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple.
Prince Ning and his faction took advantage of this to disrupt the people's faith and embezzled money.
The imperial teacher took the opportunity to brainwash the queen, causing Sheng Anguo to decline faster.
"I will pray for the little princess."
As Master Jingkong spoke, he carried Chu Qinshu to the altar. After the little monk he brought with him lit the incense, he knelt on the cushion and began to chant.
Chu Qinshu was staring at his constantly opening and closing mouth attentively at first, but after a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, half an hour had passed.
It was only after Master Jingkong touched her forehead with talisman water that she woke up.
Since Tiantan is a royal sacrificial site, today is also a day to pray for Chu Qinshu.
Therefore, apart from Master Jingkong and his disciples, the only people guarding by the side were Emperor Yongping and Chu Chengyi and his son.
"The little princess is a lucky star who has the power to save the world. If she lives a safe life, Sheng'an will prosper for a hundred years."
After Master Jingkong said this, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha and returned Chu Qinshu to Chu Chengyi.
[Eh? Is this considered a blessing for me? Why do I feel like my brain has become a lot brighter? ]
After Chu Qinshu woke up, she felt her mind was unusually clear.
It’s like...it’s like...well, the feeling of lifting the pot and initiating the Buddha’s head. Yes, it’s the feeling of lifting the pot and initiating the Buddha’s head.
Chu Chengyi: "......"
How can consecration and blessing be confused?
You are an orphan, not an object, how can you be blessed?
Master Jingkong: Little princess is really smart. From today onwards you will have the ability to bestow blessings.
Of course, your blessings are only available to those who love and respect you.
This is to save only those who have affinity with you.
"Master Jingkong, is Shu'er really blessed?"
When Emperor Yongping heard what Master Jingkong said, his eyes lit up.
Lucky stars and evil stars are just the opposite.
When an evil star comes to the world, it brings disaster and will be conquered and wiped out.
When a lucky star comes to the world, it brings blessings, and will be sought after and respected.
"A monk does not tell lies. The little princess is indeed blessed. Sheng'an will soon be prosperous, peaceful and stable."
Master Jingkong still had a smile on his face, praying with one hand and twisting the beads with the other.
"Great, that's great, God has finally favored Sheng Anguo."
Emperor Yongping couldn't help but get excited.
He doesn't like war, he only likes peace and prosperity for the country.
To have such a lucky granddaughter, isn't it just what one wishes for?
"Sheng Anguo has obtained this blessing because of the good intentions of the wise rulers of the Chu royal family for generations. God should be kind to him."
Master Jingkong looked up to the sky and spoke with great piety.
"Master, you are absolutely right."
Emperor Yongping naturally agreed with this.
His ancestors accumulated good deeds and he enjoyed the fruits of them, so he can be considered a blessed person.
Although he has not made any remarkable achievements in the more than 20 years since he took the throne, it is not easy to maintain the success, so he is very content.
"Your Majesty, the prayers for the little princess have been fulfilled. It is time for me to return to Xiangguo Temple to teach my disciples."
Master Jingkong said goodbye, and Emperor Yongping and Chu Chengyi saw him off.
After leaving Tiantan, a sacred and undisturbed pure place, Master Jingkong stopped and looked at the Imperial Master who was following behind him.
"Jue Ming, I recently found a Buddhist scripture that has been lost for many years. I will explain the key points of it to you brothers. You should follow me back to Xiangguo Temple today."
After Master Jingkong finished speaking, the Imperial Master was stunned.
As early as the day Chu Qinshu was born, Emperor Yongping wrote a letter to Master Jingkong to express his doubts about the identity of the Imperial Master.
Judging from Master Jingkong’s attitude, he has probably found out something.
"Aware?"
Seeing that the National Master was in a daze, Master Jingkong called his Dharma name again.
"Master, can I wait until after the winter festival to return to the temple to practice?"
There is still unfinished business today, and the Imperial Master does not want to leave.
"I will not neglect the important affairs of the country. I will allow you to leave the mountain before the winter festival."
Although Master Jingkong's tone was gentle, every word he spoke was filled with a sternness that could not be refused.
"Yes, then I will follow Master back to the temple."
The imperial teacher did not dare to disobey and had to agree.
Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Chu Qinshu.
Just this glance, he was stunned again.
Because Chu Qinshu is in Chu Chengyi's arms, when you look at her, you will inevitably see Chu Chengyi.
He had heard that Chu Chengyi had injured his face.
But this mask is really not a good choice, is it?
Eh? That's not right.
When he was at the Tiantan just now, he was clearly not wearing this mask?
But because Master Jingkong was there, he did not dare to ask any questions no matter how confused he was. He just paused for a moment and then followed their footsteps and left.
Chu Chengyi noticed the abnormality of the Imperial Master, but he remained silent.
"Shu'er, come quickly and let the emperor hug you."
After Master Jingkong and his companions walked away, Emperor Yongping no longer acted like an emperor.
She rushed to Chu Chengyi's side and took Chu Qinshu directly from his arms.
“Ahhh, ah~~”
[Grandpa, hug me, Grandpa, hug me. I miss you so much that I can’t sleep.]
Chu Qinshu is still as good as ever in coaxing people to death without mercy.
Emperor Yongping was very much impressed by her trick and was immediately so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Shu'er is the lucky star of our Sheng'an country. The title of Anping is indeed right. Shu'er is here to enjoy this prosperous and peaceful world."
"Ahh, cluck, cluck."
[A prosperous and peaceful time, Shu'er likes a prosperous and peaceful time the most, hahahahaha...]
The hearty laughter and the innocent laughter of children are intertwined, turning the winter chill into a touch of warmth that seeps into everyone's hearts.
After a burst of laughter, Emperor Yongping held Chu Qinshu in his arms and sat on the dragon chariot.
"Let's go to Anren Palace."
Lin Fu's voice was particularly high-pitched today.
Because he had long said that Chu Qinshu was a lucky star, and today he heard it confirmed by Master Jingkong with his own ears, how could he not be happy?
"Father, isn't today's banquet held in Yeonbok Palace?"
Chu Chengyi memorized the rules of his daughter's full-month banquet and didn't understand why Emperor Yongping wanted to bring his daughter back to Anren Palace.
"You will take care of the Yeonbok Palace. I want to take Shu'er to see those old guys."
Emperor Yongping also had several old friends who he had known since childhood. Some of them were still in the court, while others had retired and were living a life of luxury with their grandchildren.
They all received the invitation today and are now waiting for him in Anren Palace.
Humph, who asked them to show off to him in the past few years?
Having a daughter and a granddaughter, isn't that a big deal?
Now that he has granddaughters, wouldn't it be a shame if he didn't show them off?
"Yes, then I will respectfully send you off, Father."
Chu Chengyi smiled helplessly and respectfully watched his driver drive away.
Afterwards, he let Qiu Wang push him to Yeonbokgung Palace.
"Master, there is news from outside the palace."
Halfway through the journey, a guard from the East Palace came hurriedly.
When Chu Chengyi stopped, he hurriedly presented the small wax-sealed bamboo tube in his hand.
