After Xie Ningxia ran back to the room, Huan'er immediately came to greet her, "Miss is back, Huan'er, come and change her clothes!"
Xie Ningxia looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she must be careful in her words and deeds in the future. If Lu Yu discovered anything wrong, she might be killed by Lu Yu before she could find the person.
Tomorrow arrived, Xie Ningxia was still called by Huan'er before she woke up, "Miss, Miss, today a distinguished monk from the Western Regions is coming to Beijing to meet with His Majesty. There are many people on the street, let's go and have a look too!"
Xie Ningxia sat up from the bed and rubbed her eyes, "Eminent monk from the Western Regions? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"I just arrived in Beijing today, how could the young lady hear about it?"
Xie Ningxia was dragged to the street by Huan'er. As expected, there were many people standing on both sides of the street, waiting to see the true appearance of the eminent monk from the Western Regions. Xie Ningxia and Huan'er also joined the crowd and waited for the eminent monk to pass by.
At that time, the people around him were enthusiastic and cheering. Xie Ningxia would not be as crazy as them if she did not believe in Buddhism.
But just as the eminent monk passed by, Xie Ningxia smelled a familiar smell, the same fragrance she smelled at Tang Guogong's Mansion last night, "Huan'er, did you smell anything?"
"Miss, this is the smell of sandalwood that is common in temples. It's very common."
"The smell of sandalwood? Does Tang Guogong also believe in Buddhism?" Xie Ningxia whispered there. After a while, the team of eminent monks from the Western Regions had left, "Huan'er, what did you see like the eminent monk?"
Huan'er shook her head helplessly, and Xie Ningxia comforted her: "It's okay, we will go to the temple later."
Xie Ningxia returned to Prince Qing's Mansion and ran to the hall, "Lu Yu, Lu Yu, I have made a new discovery."
Unexpectedly, Gao Chen came out without seeing Lu Yu, "Miss Xie, there is something going on in the palace today, His Highness should be back later."
"Okay." Xie Ningxia left without saying much. She took Huan'er and incense and walked towards the temple outside the city, "Miss, do you believe in Buddhism too?"
"If you don't believe it, I just went to take a look."
Xie Ningxia and Huan'er walked into the temple. As expected, there were many people in the temple. People coming and going were all coming to the temple to pay homage. Huan'er and Xie Ningxia walked into the main hall. When they were about to enter the door, they happened to pass by the people who were about to come out.
However, Xie Ningxia felt that this person was very familiar and turned to look.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I feel like I've met an acquaintance." Xie Ningxia looked at the man's leaving figure and felt very familiar. She always felt like she had seen him somewhere before. Who could it be?
Huan'er stood in front of the Buddha statue and worshiped the Buddha devoutly, but Xie Ningxia walked to the incense burner to smell the scent of sandalwood. Seeing Xie Ningxia's strange behavior, the monks in the temple quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Donor, what are you doing?"
"It's okay. I just wanted to take a look and ask the young master if there are any senior officials from Beijing who donate incense to your temple all the time."
"Donor, this is a holy land of Buddhism, how can you be so rude!"
Xie Ningxia looked at the young master in front of her and couldn't ask anything, so she didn't insist. After Huan'er paid her respects, she said, "Miss, should we leave now?"
"If you don't want to leave, let's go shopping elsewhere."
Xie Ningxia and Huan'er came to the back hill of the temple, but unexpectedly they were stopped. "Donor, the back hill of the temple is not allowed to enter now."
"Why not? Is there something big going on?"
"Back to the donor, the eminent monks from the Western Regions will live here. I hope the donor will forgive me."
Xie Ningxia and Huan'er looked at each other and had no choice but to leave. Xie Ningxia was thinking that she had no choice but that didn't mean that Lu Yu had nothing to do. When Lu Yu returned home in the evening, she took Lu Yu to the temple to find out what was going on.
When Xie Ningxia returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, Lu Yu had been waiting for Xie Ningxia for a long time. Xie Ningxia first asked Huan'er to go back to the backyard and came to the front hall, "Lu Yu, Lu Yu, guess what I found?"
"You went to the temple?"
"Well, I discovered that the strange smell in Tang Guogong's mansion is the smell of sandalwood in the temple."
"I also made a discovery here. I sent people to investigate the clues we found that night. They should be the ashes of burning incense coming from the Western Regions. Incense can refresh you in moderation, but excessive amounts can cause poisoning and death."
Xie Ningxia looked at Lu Yu, "So we have to go to the temple."
"Didn't you just come back?"
"They won't let me enter the back hill of the temple. They say it's where eminent monks from the Western Regions live. Let's sneak in tonight."
"It's not us, it's me."
"Ah, then I want to go too. I want to see what that eminent monk from the Western Regions looks like."
After Xie Ningxia's persistence, Lu Yu still took Xie Ningxia to the temple. However, Lu Yu was going to investigate which high-ranking officials from the capital often came to the temple, and those people from the temple where Xie Ningxia was a minister sneaked into the back mountain unprepared.
Xie Ningxia saw that there was only one room in the back hill with candlelight, so she secretly observed outside the window. There was no one inside.
"Young hero, spare your life." She thought that Xie Ningxia could only place a sword on someone else's neck, and this was the first time someone put a sword on her neck.
Xie Ningxia slowly turned her head, and what came into view was a handsome-faced... monk. Xie Ningxia looked this man up and down, then pushed the knife around her neck away, "Child, your parents have never taught you that playing with knives is very dangerous.
Will you put the knife away?"
"Who are you?"
Xie Ningxia looked at the child in front of her, "I'm looking for that eminent monk from the Western Regions, and who are you?"
Xie Ningxia looked around to see if there was anyone else, and then looked at the clothes on the child in front of her, "Ah, ah, you can't be that eminent monk!"
The young monk ignored Xie Ningxia and continued to sit back and meditate. Xie Ningxia came closer and said, "You are really that eminent monk! I think you are not that old."
The little monk still didn't speak. Xie Ningxia put her head on her hands and watched the little monk meditate. After a while, the little monk opened his eyes.
I can’t stand it any longer.”
"What does the donor want from me?"
Xie Ningxia did have something to ask him about, but it was not about Tang Guogong's palace, but about her coming to this world, but Xie Ningxia didn't know how to ask.
"Little monk, do you Buddhists believe in the existence of another world?" This chapter has been completed!
