Sweet potato, who was in tune with her, smiled sweetly and said:

"Sixty years in the mountains is a thousand years in the world."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said:
"Have those people in Tingchao Pavilion reached the third floor?"

Sweet potato shook his head and said softly:
"Not yet. Everyone in Wutong Garden is betting on this. I bet it will take another year and a half, and I'm betting six taels of silver. Green Ant and the others think it will be even later."

Xu Fengnian got into the carriage and said:
"Then I'll bet ten taels of silver that the white fox face will be on the third floor within a year. As for the others, I think the business building must have other arrangements and will not let them stay in the Tingchao Pavilion forever!"

Hongshu massaged the Crown Prince's shoulders. Xu Fengnian leaned against her chest, opened the chess box, stroked a chess piece with two fingers, closed his eyes and said softly:

"More emphasis."

Sweet potato, whose natural body fragrance would fade in winter, hummed, but glanced at the bluebird in Wutong Garden, which was the one that was most incompatible with him.

Qingniao remained silent, just looking at the Crown Prince's brow with a bright look.

The two personal maids' thoughts were self-evident.

Two hundred cavalry entered Liangzhou, and the people on the main city road dispersed voluntarily. Xu Fengnian stopped the carriage halfway and asked Hongshu to go to a familiar shop to buy some braised beef to satisfy his craving. The cooked meat here is the most flavorful, the beef is the best in Northern Liang, and the secret sauce is second to none. The amounts of ingredients such as yellow sauce, cinnamon, old ginger, star anise are just right. Not to mention other things, just the bottle of dark soy sauce on the table was enough for many diners to steal after eating the braised beef, but they never succeeded.

In the past, after doing evil things with his friends Li Hanlin and Yan Chiji, Xu Fengnian would come here to feast on a hearty meal. Li Hanlin was even more domineering and cruel, and almost moved the entire century-old shop back. If Xu Fengnian hadn't interceded for the old shopkeeper, whose face was covered with snot and tears, the people in the city would not have been able to taste this authentic food. Of course, it was mainly to cater to his own discerning taste.

"Haha, I didn't expect the prince to return to Beiliang today!"

Xu Fengnian, who was waiting for beef, saw Shang Yi walking slowly in the distance. Then they both saw an old beggar shivering against the wall in the distance. His face was ashen, he was starving and cold, and he was not far from death.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!"

Rich people like winter, even if they can't afford to lay a floor slat that consumes countless charcoal, they can wear comfortable and luxurious mink furs and look more respectable when traveling. But all the poor people in the world are most afraid of this season.

Then Shang Yi looked at the little girl and the two monks, one big and one small, beside the old beggar. The big monk was a Tantric Buddhist, wearing a bright red cassock and with a haggard face. He walked to the foot of the wall and saw the dying old beggar with pity on his face.

As for the little girl and the little monk, Shang Yi knew that they were the daughter and apprentice of Li Dangxin of Liangchan Temple, Li Dongxi and Wu Nanbei.

Shang Yi also walked to the old beggar at this time, sighed lightly, and put his right hand on the old beggar's shoulder, without being disgusted by the dirt and stench on the old beggar's body.

"Sacrifice yourself!"

Shang Yi muttered silently in his heart and displayed the Buddhist martial arts that he had created by imitating a game in his previous life!

The Self-Sacrifice Art is not a desperate martial art like the Self-Sacrifice Art, but it contains the compassionate self-sacrifice of the Buddha who sacrificed his body to feed a tiger and cut his flesh to feed an eagle. It can transfer the pain and suffering of others to oneself, thereby saving all living beings!
Moreover, if Shang Yi is willing to pay the price of falling to a lower realm, he can even resurrect the recently dead, just like he resurrected the young master Lin in the Duoercha world.

The little girl, the young monk and the middle-aged Tantric monk all realized that Shang Yi was performing Buddhist magic and were shocked.

This kind of Buddhist Dharma that is able to sacrifice oneself to save others is the true Dharma that saves all sentient beings!

Now that Xu Fengnian had the Dahuangting, he could naturally sense a hint of Buddhist mystery from Shang Yi. After all, Princess Wu Su of Beiliang was also a Buddhist, so the King of Beiliang and Xu Fengnian also believed in Buddhism.

Even though Wang Zhonglou taught him the Dahuangting, Xu Fengnian still felt that Buddhism was more appealing than Taoism. After all, a so-called Taoist god on Mount Longhu set up a trap to kill his mother!
After a moment, the old beggar who was about to die recovered from all his injuries and even became stronger, able to survive this cold winter.

"God, you really are a god, thank you for saving my life!"

The old beggar knew nothing about Buddhism or Taoism. He just saw that Shang Yi did not look like a monk or a Taoist priest, so he called him a god.

Fortunately, Shang Yi covered up the surrounding sounds in advance, otherwise the old beggar's shout would attract the attention of countless people.

"Amitabha, your Buddhist teachings are profound, and I am ashamed to be inferior to you!"

The middle-aged Tantric monk put his hands together and said.

He was an ascetic from Mount Nalanda.

The little monk also put his hands together and said:

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"

The little girl became more lively, and looked at Shang Yi curiously and asked:

"Who are you? Why are your Buddhist methods more magical than my father's?"

When others heard this, they would just laugh at the little girl, saying she was too ignorant, too much in worship of her father, or even insulting others.

But Shang Yi knew clearly that the little girl was the daughter of Li Dangxin, the number one Zen master in the world and the "living Buddha" of Liang Zen Temple. What she said was not just an insult but a compliment!

If Buddhism is more magical than Li Dangxin, doesn’t that mean that Buddhism has surpassed Li Dangxin and is the best in the world?

Shang Yi smiled modestly and said:

"No, no, I just rely on the magical means left by my ancestors. I didn't realize it myself. How can I compare to the living Buddha in this world!"

The little girl was a child at heart after all. Seeing that the old beggar was no longer in danger of his life, she turned around and started talking to the young monk.

However, Xu Fengnian also came over and said with a smile:
"Master Shang, you have extraordinary skills. I didn't expect you to have Buddhist skills, and they are so mysterious!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:
"It is just a legacy left by our ancestors. The way of cultivation still needs self-realization. Otherwise, it will be difficult to break through the barriers. Once you reach a high level, you will inevitably fall into the lower level."

When Xu Fengnian heard this, his eyes flashed and he seemed to be thinking about something. Then he looked at Li Dongxi with surprise.

He liked that familiar girl whom he didn't know very well. When he and Lao Huang went to Langya County at their lowest point, he happened to meet this little girl who had run away from home. She claimed that she wanted to travel the world as a female knight, but she only had a few small coins left on her, which was very pitiful.

After getting to know Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang, she generously treated them to a sumptuous meal, and then they were completely penniless. The three of them lived in poverty and misery for a month or so, fighting and playing around, stealing things together, which was quite interesting. Usually she was the one who kept watch while the Crown Prince and Lao Huang took the risks. When they were running away, the little girl with two pigtails ran so fast.

Finally, she said she wanted to go south to see the sea, and they parted. Xu Fengnian only knew that her surname was Li, and she liked to call herself Miss Li. If he called her Miss Li, she would be happy for several days even if she was hungry.

Xu Fengnian had not expected that this Miss Li was actually the daughter of the living Buddha Li Dangxin. No wonder she now has a little monk following her.

At this time, Li Dongxi was teaching the little monk:
"Stupid Nanbei, how many times have I told you this?! You can call me Dongdong or Xixi, but you can't call me Dongxi! Isn't it unpleasant to call me Dongxi Dongxi?!"

The little monk, wearing a green and light red cassock, had red lips and white teeth, and a very smart appearance. Even Xu Fengnian three years ago could see that he had a fine character. The little monk said weakly:

"Thing, I think your name is pretty nice."

Miss Li, who no longer wore her pigtails, stretched out her hand to twist the little monk's ear and said angrily:

"Can you try shouting again?"

The little monk didn't know how to change his attitude and said stupidly:

"thing."

The little girl was furious. She jumped up and hit the little monk who was taller than her on the head:
"So stupid! A thousand times, ten thousand times dumber than Xu Fengnian!"

The corners of Xu Fengnian's mouth curled up.

You see, there are still people in this world who have a keen eye.

The little monk stammered:

"Monks don't tell lies. I called you Li Zi, and you wanted to hit me again."

The little girl asked angrily, "Then let me ask you, can a monk like a girl?! Monks must abstain from sex, do you understand?!"

The little monk was not really stupid. He looked sideways at the sky and pretended not to hear.

The little girl turned her head and looked at the old beggar who died without eating the meat buns, and her expression was a little depressed.

The little monk whispered:

"After buying the buns, we have no money left. I didn't bring much with me when I sneaked out, and you spend money..."

After all, he didn't dare to say the word "extravagant".

The little girl got angry and said angrily:

"I told you my father's private money is hidden in the alms bowl under the bed, why don't you steal more?! Are you stupid?"

The little monk said with a guilty conscience:

"If I steal too much, my master will punish me when I return to the temple and make me buy rouge and powder for your mother."

When the little girl heard the word rouge and powder, she became interested and no longer cared about the name. Her eyes rolled around.

When the young monk saw her like this, he quickly said:
"I really have no money."

The little girl sighed.

Shang Yi and Xu Fengnian, who were standing behind them, smiled at each other, and then Xu Fengnian said:

"Miss Li, do you want rouge and powder? I'll buy them for you. The largest rouge shop in Liangzhou City has the 'Green Swallow' that the imperial concubines use. It's not expensive, and I don't even have to spend any money to buy it."

The little girl turned around suddenly and saw Xu Fengnian, who was no longer unkempt and dressed in linen clothes and straw sandals. She didn't recognize him at first. She looked at him for a long time before she jumped up and down and said in surprise, "Xu Fengnian?!"

Xu Fengnian picked up the braised beef and said with a smile, "Isn't it?"

The little girl patted her chest, which was just beginning to show its pointed corners, and finally felt relieved. She smiled brightly and said, "Remember you said you were from Xiliang, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find you in Liangzhou."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Don't worry, once you get here, it will be harder to not find me than to find me."

The little girl didn't think too much, she was just happy.

The little monk didn't react when he saw Xu Fengnian. He was just worrying about what to do with the basket of meat buns. Of course he couldn't eat them himself, and Li Zi didn't like them either.

Just as Xu Fengnian was about to take the girl to the rouge shop that treated him like a jackal or a tiger, he subconsciously drew the long sword at his waist.

The middle-aged Tantric monk simply took a step forward.

The monk asked in a difficult accent: "Are you Xu Fengnian? The eldest son of the King of Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Who are you?"

The monk said in a calm tone: "The poor monk came from Landa Mountain in the Western Region and wants to invite His Royal Highness to go to Landa Mountain."

Shang Yi was not worried that the Tantric monk would take action, and he also knew that Xu Fengnian and Li Dongxi had not seen each other for a long time, so he had no intention of disturbing them. He also bought a portion of braised beef in soy sauce and returned to Tingchao Pavilion.

Compared to Meng Qi and the others who were seizing the time to read books and gain insights, Shang Yi was much more relaxed. After all, his realm was too high. He could read the books in Tingchao Pavilion faster and understand them more deeply!

Therefore, he had plenty of time to stroll around Liangzhou City and taste the local special snacks. Of course, Shang Yi also wanted to bring some back for Ruan Yushu to taste, so Shang Yi often came out. This was also the reason why Xu Fengnian did not think that Shang Yi was waiting for him specially.

However, before Shang Yi left, he sent a message to Xu Fengnian:

"Every household in Beiliang wears white clothes, which is why there are so many beggars, young and old, and even refugees who can't make a living outside. This is what your Xu family owes to the people of Beiliang! What's more, letting them live a better life is also a great merit, which is good for the people, Beiliang, the Xu family, and the princess!"

In fact, he had wanted to tell the King of Beiliang about this matter a long time ago, but saying it directly would be like slapping Xu Xiao in the face, so Shang Yi held back and waited for Xu Fengnian to come back and tell him.

Shang Yi has been wandering around Liangzhou City these days. In addition to looking for delicious food and relaxing, he also couldn't stand seeing the frozen corpses on the road!

After all, I received nine years of compulsory education and grew up under the red flag. My growing environment is different after all. Although I can integrate into this secular world, I still can't tolerate some things.

Shang Yi didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. He said it was too naive, but to put it another way, wasn’t it just not forgetting one’s original intention and being firm in one’s faith?

After returning to Tingchao Pavilion, Shang Yi handed the braised beef in his hand to the servants and asked them to cut it into small pieces and send it to Ruan Yushu in Tingchao Pavilion. Then he thought about the Tantric monk just now.

At this time Shang Yi realized that it was the man from Mount Nalanda who was attracted by Xu Fengnian's luck and wanted to practice dual cultivation with Xu Fengnian, the Prince of Beiliang!
If Shang Yi did not know the true method of Guanyin's practice, he would have doubted that the path of the Joyful Bodhisattva in the real world was truly inherited by Guanyin!
······
Time flies, and soon another month has passed. Xu Xiao has made all the preparations, and even Xu Fengnian's second sister Xu Weixiong and eldest sister Xu Zhihu have returned to the palace.

The resurrection of the princess is so important that Xu Xiao's children naturally want to participate and witness it.

However, they will not follow Xu Fengnian to Qingzhou, but will wait for Xu Fengnian's return in the back mountain of the palace.

The group was ready to go. Shang Yi, Ruan Yushu and others were also ready to set off with Xu Fengnian.

But this time, Xu Fengnian actually brought Jiang Ni with him, and the entourage was similar to the original novel, including Shu Xiu, Qingniao, Feng Ziying and an old Taoist priest Wei Shuyang.

There was also a dozing old man with a broken arm sitting in the carriage, his skinny body wrapped in a shabby sheepskin coat. When he dozed off, he would pick his nose with his fingers and then quietly flick them away with his fingers.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode a white horse and carried two swords out of the city, followed by a burly general leading more than a hundred light cavalry. However, the carriage in front was plain and ordinary, and the coachman was a pretty woman. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to ride a horse, so no one should be qualified to sit in the carriage.

Shang Yi and others also followed the cavalry. Meng Qi sighed:
"Tsk tsk, what a big scene! Aren't you worried that Prince Jing'an will interfere?"

Shang Yi smiled and said:
"You are not unaware of Beiliang's situation. If the Beiliang prince travels openly with fewer people, it will make Prince Jing'an and the court feel something is wrong and conduct an in-depth investigation."

"Now it's just that the dandy prince wants to travel around the world and practice martial arts again, which will lead them astray."

Meng Qi shook his head and sighed:
"The power struggle in the imperial court is really troublesome. It's better to practice martial arts purely!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

“Actually, they are all the same, it all depends on what path you take!

Fighting in the arena and regulating yin and yang in the court are all ways to cultivate the mind, but most people forget their original intentions and go astray, so it is difficult to achieve success! "

"Oh, your opinion on cultivation is quite interesting. It is much more down-to-earth than Qi Xuanzhen who only practices the Way of Heaven on Mount Longhu!"

The curtain of the carriage at the side was lifted, revealing an old man talking inside.

Shang Yi saluted and said:
"Senior, you are too kind. Compared with Lü Zu who passed through the Heavenly Gate but did not enter, there is still some gap!"

Li Chungang raised his eyebrows and said:

"Interesting. You are not afraid of anything. If you are a swordsman and are many times stronger than Xu, why would you open a business? Why don't you practice swordsmanship with me?"

As he said this, he looked at Jiang Zhiwei in the team!

Li Chungang had long noticed that Jiang Zhiwei had a keen eye for swordsmanship and was an excellent talent in the way of the sword. Before she was twenty years old, her swordsmanship skills were already as good as most swordsmen in the world!
Shang Yi shook his head and smiled:

"Thank you, senior, but I already have my own path. If I am indecisive, I am afraid I will achieve nothing in the future!"

Li Chungang rolled his eyes when he heard this. He had never thought that there would be someone in the world who would reject him! (End of this chapter)
