Chapter 593 I Want Them
He went alone and returned alone, without the Stone City King accompanying him. King Tongfu then asked, "Great Immortal, how is the situation? Have you invited the Stone City King?"
Jin Ting Daxian shook his head honestly and said, "I haven't invited him yet."
King Tongquan frowned and said, "Has this bald man become so confused from all his meditation? He's so arrogant that he refuses to come even after our repeated invitations. If that's the case, then I'll go there myself."
Seeing that he was about to stand up and invite him personally, Jin Ting Daxian said slowly, "That's not the case."
"I went to invite King Shicheng, so naturally he couldn't refuse. But King Shicheng already has an appointment, so it's not convenient for him to come."
King Tongji was displeased and said, "You broke the appointment when you had one. What's so important that you won't even give us face?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "It's also about preaching. King Wu's mother, the old princess, had long ago invited King Shicheng to the King Wu's mansion to preach for her and to pray for King Wu's blessings, so she couldn't get away."
King Tongji was even more displeased and asked, "Can you finish what you are saying at once?"
The Immortal Jin Ting continued, "The old princess invited King Shicheng to give a lecture, and King Shicheng couldn't refuse, so he had to accept. I went to invite him again this time, and King Shicheng came up with a compromise. He wanted to invite the Holy Mother to come to the Prince Wu's palace to study Buddhism. I wonder what the Holy Mother thinks of this."
"This is a good idea!" King Tongji changed his tone and praised it highly.
In this way, the old lady had a companion to listen to the sutras, and she could listen to the sutras without having to drag the five of them to listen to the monks' chatter.
King Tongji looked at King Tongkuan expectantly, and several brothers pricked up their ears, hoping that King Tongkuan could convince the old lady.
King Tongfu went to look for the Holy Mother of Shangfang with the expectations of his brothers. The old lady had already gone to the Prince of Wu's mansion to listen to opera, but because the opera was not good, she thought of inviting King Shicheng to preach.
Now it was just a matter of listening to sutras instead of opera, and with the old princess accompanying her, she naturally had no intention of refusing.
In this way, King Shicheng no longer needed to go to Shangfang Mountain, but only needed to go to Gusu City.
As for whether the old princess really invited the King of Shicheng to preach, this is not a difficult question. This is not the first time that the Immortal Jinting has dealt with the old princess. Back in Jinhua, in order to deal with the locust god, he once used the old princess's tiger skin to command the county city god.
The old princess often went to the Big Buddha Temple to worship Buddha, and the abbot Huiming of the Big Buddha Temple was an old friend of Gong Mengbi.
Even though the old princess' invitation to King Shicheng to give a lecture hadn't materialized yet, the Immortal Jinting had already spread the word. He included not only the old princess, whom he had never met, but also his old friend, Abbot Huiming.
Although it was a fabricated story, all the problems would be solved if we asked King Shicheng to send a Buddhist scripture to the old princess in the name of Abbot Huiming.
In order to avoid going to Shangfang Mountain, King Shicheng personally delivered a box of scriptures to the King of Wu's Palace that day, along with a letter.
The letter stated that King Shicheng was an old friend of Abbot Huiming, and the two often exchanged letters. Abbot Huiming was concerned about the old princess, a kind believer, so he asked King Shicheng to present scriptures to the old princess. The scriptures were obscure, but if the old princess needed them, King Shicheng could be invited to preach.
The old princess had no suspicions because the letter also mentioned some old stories of the old princess worshipping Buddha in the Big Buddha Temple. In order to gain the old princess's trust, he even brought out Taoist Master Xuanxiao from the Big Immortal Temple as a witness.
The old princess invited King Shicheng without even asking Abbot Huiming for confirmation.
It doesn't matter even if we ask Abbot Huiming for confirmation, because when the people from Prince Wu's Palace arrive at the Big Buddha Temple, Abbot Huiming will admit it without hesitation.
On the second day, King Tongquan accompanied the Holy Mother of Shangfang down the mountain to listen to the sutras. As the middleman, the Immortal Jinting naturally had to accompany them.
Shangfangshan's carriage wobbled as it drove towards Gusu City. Guarded by ghosts and gods in front and behind, the carriage drove straight into the city. The ghosts guarding the city saw the sign of Shangfangshan and dared not to stop it, allowing the carriage to drive into the city.
When he arrived at the Prince of Wu's palace, he verified his identity before entering the palace.
The Holy Mother above was still looking forward to the sermon. The pleasant and capable Captain Lang and Captain Hua served her, and Qiong Niang followed her, and they sat down in the Rui Garden of the Prince of Wu's Mansion.
The old princess and King Shicheng were already there. The Holy Mother did not disturb them. She just sat down quietly, picked up the scriptures on the table and started reading. She soon got into the state.
The Immortal Jin Ting and the King of Shicheng looked at each other. The King of Shicheng nodded slightly and did not make any other moves.
King Tongkuan and the Immortal Jinting accompanied the old lady to listen to sutras for a whole day. King Tongkuan began to doze off after listening for a while, with his eyes half-closed, and his breathing gradually became calmer.
Captain Hua and Captain Lang were standing behind him, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, almost drooling.
For those who are not interested, no matter how nice the King of Shicheng says, it will be like listening to a mystery.
The old lady was very happy to hear this, and when she left, she made an appointment with the old princess to come back the next day.
The carriage lurched away from the Wu Wang Mansion and rolled along the streets of Gusu. The old lady said, "Master Shicheng is truly a great monk. He explains the sutras in a profound and simple way, which makes people happy."
King Tongfu just laughed it off. He had slept all day and really didn't know what King Shicheng said, which made Qiong Niang cover her mouth and laugh.
Thinking that there were still several days of such days to go, King Tongfu was almost overcome with grief. He then pulled the Immortal Jinting out of the carriage and looked at the still-melting snow on the roadside. The evening light shone on the pedestrians coming and going, giving the illusion of a peaceful world.
Among this crowd of ordinary people, a couple arm in arm caught the eye.
Tong Fu Da Wang suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining, and said, "What a beauty."
The Immortal Jin Ting followed his gaze and uttered a questioning sound: "Strange."
King Tong Kuan fixed his eyes on the couple and said, "You've noticed it too."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "It has a different aura. It's not an ordinary creature. It's wearing human skin. As for whether it's beautiful or not, I can't tell."
King Tong Kuan became proud and said, "You don't have the clairvoyance to see their uniqueness."
King Tongfu stretched out his hand and gently brushed in front of the eyes of Jinting Daxian, and Jinting Daxian felt that the world in front of him suddenly became brighter.
It's like dust being brushed away, revealing the original clarity of a mirror.
Beneath the human skin of the couple were two monsters, one male and one female.
The man was dressed in green and had a handsome face, but his eyes were like sharp swords and carried a murderous aura.
The woman was dressed in white, she was beautiful, with eyes like autumn water and as gentle as silk.
She is indeed a beauty, a rare beauty.
King Tongfu said to the ghosts and gods driving the chariot, "Tianjia, I want them."
The ghost driving the carriage turned into wind and disappeared from the carriage.
