Chapter 342 The Cannon Fodder Flower Demon of the Abstinent Buddha 14
*
Chu Wuxu raised his hand, took the handkerchief and calmly wiped the blood from under his tall nose.
"I'm not dead yet..."
The little lotus monster had never been injured since it transformed, and naturally had never bled, so it was a little panicked now.
She walked forward and carefully and attentively pulled Chu Wuxu into the meditation room.
Chu Wuxu did not stop her actions, and obediently let her press him to sit on the couch.
Yun Wu brought him tea and water, and also placed the snacks she had not finished eating in front of him.
"Master Buddha, can you practice dual cultivation with me before you die? This is really important..."
"I can't die, it's just too much wind."
Chu Wuxu said, his handsome eyes looking away in embarrassment.
"That's good, that's good. I was scared to death..."
Yun Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said that since dual cultivation required the consent of the Buddhist disciple, she couldn't just rush forward and knock him down, otherwise all her efforts would be wasted.
And she also didn't want Master Fozi to die. He was very kind to her and even made shoes for her.
After the false alarm, Yun Wu returned to her meditation room and had a good sleep.
She originally wanted to stick to Chu Wuxu today to improve their relationship.
But Bai Yu came over early in the morning and said that a distinguished guest had come to Bodhi Temple, and it seemed that he had come from the imperial city of the Northern Dynasty.
Inside the big Buddha hall in the front yard of the Bodhi Temple, a well-dressed middle-aged man was leading a beautifully dressed woman to pay homage to the abbot.
He is Lord Tao, the Minister of Guanglu Temple of the Northern Dynasty. Today he came to the Bodhi Temple with his daughter Tao Wanqing and a group of palace guards to offer incense.
"Master Huichen, I have donated so much money to the Bodhi Temple. Can you please tell my daughter's fortune?"
Lord Tao laughed twice and said, with a hint of greed in his little eyes.
"See if my little girl has the fate to marry into the royal family?"
"Amitabha, I only practice Buddhism, and I don't know anything about the secrets of heaven."
Abbot Huichen clasped his palms together and nodded, and a trace of disappointment flashed across Lord Tao's face.
Tao Wanqing beside him quickly pulled his sleeve and reminded him:
"Dad, don't forget the important things..."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot, Master, is Wuxu Buddhist in the temple today?"
Lord Tao asked, Abbot Huichen nodded, and Tao Wanqing showed a little joy on his face.
In just a few breaths, Chu Wuxu was led by the monk into the big Buddhist hall.
He was wearing a plain cassock, looking cool and elegant, with a cinnabar mole clearly visible between his eyebrows.
"Little prince..."
The moment Tao Wanqing saw Chu Wuxu, her eyes brightened and she quickly bowed to salute along with Lord Tao.
"I am now a disciple of Wuxu Buddha, so don't call me Little Prince."
Chu Wuxu frowned and said, he thought Abbot Huichen had someone bring him here for some reason, but it turned out that he was here to meet the people who came from the Imperial City.
Abbot Huichen was busy with many affairs, and was immediately asked by the novice monk to go out to deal with other trivial matters.
Lord Tao wiped his hands, bowed with a flattering smile on his face and said:
"Buddha Wuxu, I am Tao Fu, the Minister of the Imperial Household, and this is my daughter Wanqing, whom you saw at a banquet in the Imperial City a year ago."
"Wanqing has met Wuxu Buddhist."
Tao Wanqing said softly, her eyes looking at Chu Wuxu with a hint of shyness in them.
"Have you seen it?"
Chu Wuxu frowned slightly and asked back. The smile on Lord Tao's face froze, and he could only cough twice awkwardly.
At the open door of the Buddhist hall, Yun Wu carefully poked her little head out and looked inside.
In front of Chu Wuxu stood a strange father and daughter.
"The fat, big-eared man is a court official, but of a low rank. The one next to him is his daughter."
Bai Yu appeared beside Yun Wu and said, peeking inside like Yun Wu. He stroked his chin and always felt that the purpose of this father and daughter's visit was not pure.
"You have not yet been ordained, but do you intend to return to secular life and the Imperial City?"
Lord Tao asked, his tiny eyes filled with calculation and flattery.
"Practicing with hair uncut is also a form of renunciation, and there is no intention to return to secular life."
Chu Wuxu said lightly, but no one knew what he was thinking of, and he tightened his grip on the Buddhist beads.
Tao Wanqing and Lord Tao looked at each other, and Lord Tao continued tentatively:
"I remember that when you were still in the imperial city, the emperor was most concerned about your marriage. How many ladies from noble families admired you..."
"My father and I came all the way from Qing County. This poor and remote place is nothing like the Imperial City. It would be better for you to come back to the Imperial City with us instead of suffering here."
Tao Wanqing frowned slightly and spoke softly, looking like she was very dissatisfied with the surrounding environment.
"Yes, yes, it would be better for you to return to secular life and return to the imperial city to continue being a prince. It is also time for you to be the principal wife."
Lord Tao smiled with a fawning look on his face, and looked meaningfully at Tao Wanqing, whose cheeks were slightly blushing beside him.
The father and daughter came to the Bodhi Temple not only to burn incense and worship Buddha, but also for Chu Wuxu.
If the emperor does not hold a beauty contest, Lord Tao's idea of marrying his daughter into the palace will be gone, and the emperor has no other children or brothers.
The only bloodline left by his younger brother is the young prince Chu Wuxu.
That's why Lord Tao tried every means to get news about Chu Wuxu. Only then did he know that he had come to Bodhi Temple, so he brought his daughter here.
It just so happened that Tao Wanqing had seen Chu Wuxu at a banquet before and had admired him. Lord Tao also wanted his daughter to become a princess, and if his daughter married into the royal family, he would also be able to rise to prominence.
Chu Wuxu's eyes were cold, he raised his hand with the Buddhist beads hanging on it and said:
"It's not Lord Tao's turn to decide my affairs. If you talk like that, I would have thought Lord Tao was the emperor."
"Buddha, you are embarrassing me. I am concerned about you, and I came here to look for you."
There was a shy smile on Tao Wanqing's face, and Lord Tao was laughing beside her.
"Oh, I guessed it right. The Tao family wants their daughter to marry the young prince, and they also want to persuade the young prince to return to the imperial city..."
Bai Yu grabbed the door, shook his head and muttered. Yun Wu looked up at him, then turned to look at Chu Wuxu and Tao Wanqing in the hall.
She tightened her hands on the door slightly and her little head drooped.
"I'm not happy anymore."
"What's wrong Miss Yun?"
Bai Yu asked hurriedly in a low voice. Yun Wu was lying by the door, looking in the direction of Chu Wuxu with a resentful look on her face.
"He didn't talk to me much today. He talked to someone else..."
"Wait a minute, Miss Yun, are you...in love with Buddha?"
Bai Yu lowered his voice and widened his eyes as he asked, his mind already imagining the story of life-saving grace and love that grew over time.
Yun Wu looked up at him, confusion in her eyes, and then she heard Bai Yu continue:
"The young prince has no desires and sometimes has a sharp tongue. If the girl likes him, there will be no chance. The young prince will definitely not return to secular life. Who knows, he may even shave his head in a few days..."
Suddenly a clear voice was heard.
"Awu, come here."
Chu Wuxu in the hall looked at Yun Wu and Bai Yu who were peeking at the door at some point.
Yun Wu didn't understand what was going on, but she still obediently stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Bai Yu was left confused and dumbfounded.
This address... When did the young prince become so familiar with Miss Yun? ? ?
