Chapter 3 The Arhats of the Heavens
Chen Zi'ang smiled shyly, touched the back of his head embarrassedly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
‘It’s so miserable now. My cheap dad went out for business and couldn’t come back for a month or two. It seems that my aunt is going to arrange her future path and clear the obstacles for her baby son!’
"The auntie is over the award!"
"No, I'm telling the truth, and I believe no one will question it."
The princess stood up, and at this time, the female official Liu also walked out of the inner room, holding an ancient sandalwood box in her hand, with dense scriptures and many statues of Arhat Buddhas carved on it.
"This is the secret foundation-building treasure book of Kolin Temple - the body technique of the Arhats in the heavens! It is also of the best practice in both internal and external practices. Even our Chen family's Tiangang Beidou guidance technique is not as good as that."
The princess took the wooden box and gently opened it with one hand. A stream of sandalwood in the temple came from the box vaguely.
Chen Zi'ang stood on tiptoe and looked inside. There was an old book wrapped in cloth. The pages were yellowed and the corners were slightly rolled up. It seemed that many people had read it.
"Kolin Temple? Is it the Kolin Temple in the previous dynasty?"
Chen Zi'ang asked curiously while looking at the books.
The previous dynasty was named Wei. The last generation of Wei kings advocated Buddhism very much. They not only donated the royal territories to Buddhism, but also allowed Buddhism to expand its land and purchase fertile land on a large scale. You should know that all the farmlands in the Buddhist courtyards do not need to be paid taxes. It is reported that 70% of the fertile land near Tianyun City in the capital belonged to the names of various Buddhist courtyards at that time.
The country's money is getting less and less. In order to support the finances, various entries will naturally be distributed to people outside the Buddhist temple. No wonder it caused public resentment later, and powerful people from all over the country were crowded with troops, and the Chen family finally obtained the fruits of victory.
Kobayashi Temple is the most famous Buddhist temple. Its temple covers an area of 10,000 acres, hundreds of temples and tens of thousands of monks.
However, first he encountered a rebellion of demons and was besieged by a large army. In the end, everything in the temple was burned completely by Chen Zi'ang's grandfather, King Zhennan.
"That's right! It's that Kobayashi."
The princess nodded and placed the box in Chen Zi'ang's hand, her eyes drifting, as if she was trapped in memories.
"The Kobayashi Temple was so glorious that even the old man besieged with 100,000 elite troops, and attacked for nearly a month. This is not the secret help of martial arts masters. After attacking Kobayashi Temple, he found that their Sutra Library had been burned completely by the monks at that time. Only some less important foundation-building methods were rescued. Later, all the classics involving the mystery of heaven and man were burned completely."
The princess sighed slightly at last, her tone full of regret.
"Then aunt, can I change my skills in the future?"
What Chen Zi'ang was worried about was that he had practiced this skill until he finished his practice, but he lost his follow-up. Some of the skills were extremely domineering and were not compatible with the skills of other schools. Forced practice would only lead to assault!
"It doesn't matter, Buddhist practices are the most central and peaceful, and they are compatible with most practices and will not cause conflicts."
The princess smiled and patted Chen Zi'ang's little head.
"We have a genius child like you, how could I teach you the kung fu that limits your future like that?"
Chen Zi'ang put down the wooden box with a smile, took out the books and looked through them with love.
"Don't rush to see, there's time when you go back."
When the princess saw Chen Ziang lowering her head to read, the cold light flashed in her eyes.
"By the way, Auntie. Is this kind of kung fu learning?"
Chen Zi'ang turned his head and asked in a curious manner.
"He doesn't do it. This kung fu emphasizes understanding, but Xiao Wu's personality is dark, so he cannot learn Buddhist kung fu. What I gave him is the Rejuvenation Practice from Medicine King Valley. He is weak, so practicing Rejuvenation Practice is the most suitable."
The princess said lightly.
Chen Zi'ang pestered the princess and asked questions again, until the other party was tired, he greeted her and said goodbye and went back.
The princess looked at Chen Zi'ang's departure back and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Empress, it doesn't matter to the fifth prince, but the sixth prince has always been favored by the prince. Is it inappropriate to do this?"
The female official Liu, who had been silent, came to the princess and whispered softly.
"What's wrong? It's just a slut born to a slut. Is it just a little smart? Can you still want to take over the title of the prince?"
"But Xiaolin Temple has been destroyed, and the subsequent exercises of the Arhat Body Technique were destroyed by those monks. When the sixth prince practiced successfully, he would have his own internal energy, wouldn't it be..."
Before Madam Liu could finish speaking, the princess waved her hand and interrupted her words.
"Who said that the Arhat Body Technique is a unique skill of Xiaolin Temple? You must know that Xiaolin Temple is just a branch of the Vajra Sect of the Daqian Dynasty. At that time, I ask someone to send Xiaoliuzi to the Vajra Sect, just like sending the second lady to the Biyue Sect! At that time, there are two of the six major sects in Daqian that are from our family. How can the master not be happy?"
"But will the prince agree to the ban on marriage by King Kongzong?"
The female official Liu still frowned and looked worried. She was so strong since childhood, but since childhood, it has made people frustrated her a lot.
"The prince has so many sons, so what kind of offspring do you have to worry about? Xiao Liuzi has practiced Buddhist skills. As long as he doesn't want to be abolished, he has no other choice!"
"I'm afraid that the Sixth Crown will hold a grudge!"
The female official Liu sighed slightly.
"So what? There are many people who are dissatisfied with me. If I act in every way, I don't have to do anything!"
The princess waved her sleeves, her face became angry, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Especially that little boy Chen Zinan, he is a wolf who cannot be tamed! If you arrange it, let someone stop all his monthly salary. Change three meals a day to two meals in the morning and evening, and eat the same food as the servant! I will give him a lot of medicine to refine his body ten days later, and I want to see if he practices!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the table in front of him instantly split into pieces, and red cherry fruits rolled over the ground.
"Everything is clean!"
The princess looked at the messy ground in disgust, moved her steps lightly and went to the outer courtyard.
The flowers in the courtyard are full of flowers, making people feel happy. I wonder if it can open my narrow-minded princess?
****
"Aunt Lan, you are back."
Chen Zi'ang stood at the gate of his yard and nodded and smiled at a sallow female official.
"Sir Sixth Prince, the princess has brought you some fruits. I am about to put them in the ice cellar in the kitchen. Do you think you want to leave some first?"
Aunt Lan is only in her early thirties, but she is serious and has a stiff face, which is comparable to the female official Liu next to her.
"Bang!"
Chen Zi'ang slapped his hand and said, "If you want to stay, you have to stay. By the way, give Sister Qing some and let her take it back to taste. I just tasted a few from the princess's place, and the taste was so beautiful!"
"I thank the sixth son for the reward!"
Qing'er's big eyes completed a crescent shape and bent down slowly. These fresh vegetables were not eaten outside. She could show off her sisters when she returned later.
"Well, come with me!"
Aunt Lan nodded and waved her hand to let Qing'er walk with her.
"By the way, where are Mingyue and Caixia?"
They are maids who take care of Chen Zi'ang, a pair of eight or nine-year-old girls. They grew up in the royal palace and received the education of how to be a qualified maid. They were assigned to Chen Zi'ang after graduation at the age of six.
“Practice cooking in the small backyard kitchen!”
Aunt Lan's lifeless voice slowly came.
"The two little girls actually know how to make progress?"
Chen Zi'ang shook his head and smiled, then looked down at the wooden box in his hand, and his face couldn't help but sank.
