Chapter Sixteen Extraordinary Face

Yang Ning finally fully understood Fakong's chess level and how painful it was to play chess with this old monk!

It was enough for Yang Ning to play only one game, but the old monk refused to comply. His image as a "senior monk" had long since disappeared. He tried hard to persuade Yang Ning to play seven or eight games with him.

After all, Yang Ning lost to the old monk on purpose in the last round.

He finally understood that you shouldn't take your chess game too seriously with this old monk. If you don't let him win a game, it won't be over if he can play with you until dark!

Playing chess is hard, but drinking tea is enjoyable. To be honest, Monk Fakong’s tea is definitely good tea. Even people like Lian Yang Ning who don’t understand tea drink it and praise it!

"Old monk, your chess skills are not very good, but this tea is really good!" Yang Ning praised sincerely.

After playing chess with Fakong just now, Yang Ning became familiar with the old monk, and he spoke much more casually!

"Hmph, kid, don't be complacent. If that old friend of mine were to play against you, he would definitely kill you to pieces. He is recognized as the number one chess master in the capital!"

The old monk had just been killed by Yang Ning and lost his armor. He was worried about this, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Hey! Didn't you say that you rarely meet an opponent when playing chess in the capital? Why is this 'number one chess master' someone else again?" Yang Ning said amusedly.

"I am indeed——, it is indeed rare to meet an opponent, but I have only met one, and that is this good friend. Although his level is a little higher than the monk and I, he is more than enough to beat you. You will know if you have a chance to kill a game.

!" The old monk had a disdainful expression on his face, seemingly very confident in his good friend's chess skills!

"Okay, okay, your friend is better than me, okay? Let's drink tea!"

"Hey, boy, you have to drink it slowly and taste it slowly! This is Ouchi's 'tribute tea' this year, and the way you drink it, you've even poured it into the cow's belly!" the old monk said dissatisfied.

"Is this 'tribute tea'?"

Yang Ning was surprised that he actually had the pleasure of drinking 'tribute tea'!

"Of course, this was given to this temple by the Holy One last month. It seems that you don't know much about the history of Longfu Temple. I'm here to teach you a lesson. This Longfu Temple...!"

Through Foyin's explanation, Yang Ning understood the history of Longfu Temple.

This majestic temple was built by Ming Jingzong, the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in the fourth year of Jingtai.

There are five entrances to the temple. When you enter the temple, you will face the Shanmen Hall, the Jialan Hall on the left, the Zhuanlun Hall on the right, the Pilu Hall and the Maitreya Buddha Hall in the middle, and the Mahavira Hall at the third entrance. There is also the Great Dharma Hall.

, Sutra Pavilion, Bell Tower, Living Room, Zen Room, Zhaitang, Dormitory, Release Pond and other Buddhist buildings, these buildings form a large-scale and orderly temple complex.

As soon as this temple was built, it became a major scenic spot in the capital. There are many temples in the capital, but only this Longfu Temple was built by the emperor's decree and was designated as the Royal Incense Court. The emperor, concubines, royal family members, etc. who believed in Buddhism

When I go out to offer incense, I only go to this temple. Because of this reason, Longfu Temple is also very popular with incense. There is an endless stream of pilgrims who come to offer incense, including high-ranking officials and businessmen.

After more than a hundred years of expansion and renovation, the temple is now filled with towering ancient trees, refreshing and quiet; there are many temples and incense is strong!

The temple market formed in the square in front of the temple is also the largest in the capital. Its bustling and bustling is no less than Qipan Street near the Imperial City. On September 9 and ten of every month, sheds are set up everywhere in the square in front of the temple. In addition to department stores, food, antiques and entertainment

, there is also a flower market, bird market, etc.

Speaking of this temple market, Yang Ning knew that he had visited it some time ago. It was indeed huge and lively!

"But even if it is the 'tribute tea' given to your temple by the emperor, you, a monk who carries water and grows vegetables, are not in your turn to enjoy it!" Yang Ning said strangely.

Fakong glared and said, "Who said that I am a monk who carries water and grows vegetables?"

"you are not?"

"Of course not! To tell you the truth, I am the abbot of Longfu Temple——!"

Yang Ning was shocked and said: "Abbott the chair? Old monk, are you kidding me?"

Yang Ning never expected that this old monk who was fat, big, and had a bit of an "old naughty" temperament would be the "top leader" of such a large temple!

"Hey, I haven't finished talking yet. I am the junior brother of the abbot of Longfu Temple!"

"Junior brother who presides over the abbot? Then why can't he become an elder, chief or something like that? How come he has such a dish?" Yang Ning still didn't believe it.

"You brat, why don't you trust monks? Didn't I tell you that I came here voluntarily to grow vegetables? This can not only cultivate one's mind and body, but also strengthen one's body. I am actually practicing in seclusion!"

"This is the first time I've heard that monks practice this way! I think you're just taking a break, right? As the junior brother who presides over such a large temple, you don't help your senior brother with temple affairs, but you live here leisurely all day long.

The idyllic and comfortable life seems a bit unreasonable, right?"

"I am too lazy to take care of those secular affairs! Besides, the abbot has five disciples. Now they are taking care of the secular affairs in the temple, so there is no need for me to step in!"

"You, an old monk, can be lazy and enjoy your life! But having said that, looking at your face, your dress, and your character, oh, especially your way of playing chess, I really didn't realize that you were

This is the younger brother of the current abbot of Longfu Temple!"

"Humph! You didn't see much! But when it comes to facial features, I have some experience with your facial features!"

"Oh? The old monk can also read faces?" Yang Ning became interested.

"Of course! I'm not bragging to you, my fortune-telling skills are absolutely...!"

"Okay, okay, stop it now. You should just tell me how the boy looks like!" Yang Ning knew that Fakong was about to brag again, so he quickly stopped him.

Fakong was very dissatisfied with Yang Ning's interruption, and snorted: "You are so lucky that you don't know how lucky you are. How many people have asked me to read your fortune, but you can't get it!"

"Okay, okay, then master, please show mercy to me!" Yang Ning said helplessly.

"That's pretty much it! To be honest, when I saw you, I thought your face was a little strange!"

"How strange?"

"I see that your face has more water but less earth among the five elements. Therefore, you must have suffered from floods when you were young, and you must have been homeless. In the end, you will die in despair before you reach the age of eighteen. But the strange thing is that you seem to have suddenly appeared in recent days.

The unexpected changes in the sky not only cut off your original destiny, but also made you full of purple energy, prosperous in fortune, and even had the potential to be a prince from now on!"

Yang Ning was shocked by Fakong's words. The old monk really had some magical powers. Not only could he see that he had suffered from floods, but he could also detect signs of his reincarnation. He was reincarnated by the "Suffering God", wasn't that what happened to him?

What a change of days!

Apart from being surprised, Yang Ning was also a little surprised. If it was true as the old monk said, then wouldn't he be able to become a "prince" in the future? But he was about to enter the palace and become a eunuch. Since ancient times, eunuchs have been granted titles such as kings and marquises.

Of?

"Then, what kind of changes have happened to that boy?" Yang Ning said unnaturally. He no longer dared to underestimate the old monk's knowledge of fortune telling!

"This is exactly what I can't see through. Alas! My practice is still meager!" Fakong sighed.
