Chapter 685 Worshiping Buddha

Anshanda said again: "You are not usually visible and do not show off. The prince doesn't know that you are from the mansion, so you might as well pretend to be a hunter and put on the clothes of ordinary hunters. When the prince goes hunting, you will follow nearby and find opportunities to please the prince. As long as you make contributions and make the prince happy, I will promote you in the future and ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Park Junnon's knees softened and knelt down for Anshanda and said, "Mr. An, the villain only asks for Lord. If the guards in the mansion are short of, please ask the master to be kind and let the little one make up for it. The great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"

Anshanda thought to himself: "You think you are beautiful. A surrendered man from Goguryeo and want to be a guard of the royal palace. The guards are all entitled in the guard palace. You just don't want to leave a name in the guard palace in ten lives!"

He smiled on his face, helped Park Junnan up, and said with a smile: "That's natural. As long as you can do things well and be loyal to the prince, let alone be a guard, or become a captain of the guard's palace, isn't that the prince's words?"

Park Junnam was overjoyed and murmured: "A villain, I never dare to expect..."

Anshanda patted his shoulder and said, "How can this be considered a luxury? A small matter is a matter of silly. You can go down and rest. All the work at hand will be done by others!"

Park Junnan hurriedly expressed his loyalty again, and then went out. Anshanda went to report the matter to Li Ke, saying that he had found a suitable candidate, which was very suitable for death!

Gyeongju.

Wang Ping'an arranged all kinds of matters. Early on the third morning, he accompanied Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang to take a car out of Qingzhou and rushed to Bei Grotto Temple. He didn't tell anyone about this, but just told Di Renjie that Di Renjie would definitely not reveal the secret, so he can rest assured.

Wu Meiniang's illness comes quickly, but it gets better slowly. Although she can speak, she is still hoarse and difficult to speak. Fortunately, it does not affect her actions. Her belly is no longer small. According to normal circumstances, she should not go out for fun. Simple activities are OK, but traveling is not suitable.

But Wu Meiniang insisted on going to the Grotto Temple to see it, and Li Zhi also wanted to play around. With their insistence, Wang Ping'an took the convoy on the road. In terms of the entourage, he only brought the Ouyang brothers who knew the inside story. No one else brought them, let alone the maid. There was only Wu Meiniang in the team.

Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an rode a horse, Wu Meiniang sat in the car, and the group headed towards the North Grotto Temple.

Looking at Lin Mu beside the Tao, Li Zhi said: "No sickness, there are very few people on this Tao. I am really afraid that once I come out, I will be chased by a group of people!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "The people all thought that Your Highness would go to the construction site again, so they were all waiting there!"

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed and said, "When we come back, I will choose a day and go to the construction site." After a pause, he made an excuse for not being diligent enough. He said, "I discovered that if I go to the construction site, the people would come over and want to see the orphan. In this way, I can't work anymore and delay the construction period, so I will reduce the number of times I go to the construction site, mainly for the construction period!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and thought to himself: "Although it is an excuse, but what he said is true!" He said: "Your Highness is thorough in his mind, and this is true. However, after Your Highness left the day before yesterday, the official reported to me that the people's enthusiasm has improved a lot. Although it took a long time to work, they were all made up the next day, and the project progressed faster. This shows that your Highness's trip to the construction site will be of great help to the completion of the project as soon as possible!"

Li Zhi laughed, but said nothing. He was very interested in the cheers of the people, but if he wanted to listen to them often, then forget it. It would be better to stay in the house and play with Wu Meiniang!

The Bei Grotto Temple is not too far from Gyeongju, but if you are traveling and walking, you will only be able to arrive the next day when you set out on the same day. There are not many scenery along the way. Gyeongju is not like the Gyeonggi area, with mountains, rivers and trees all developed, but wild forests everywhere, and the road is not easy to walk. If you want to see the scenery, you can only get a little decent when you go to the Grotto Temple.

I walked all the way, stopped and stopped, and I waited until evening, and saw a small village on the side of the road, only about a dozen families.

Wang Ping'an pointed to the village and said, "Your Highness, I'll send someone to visit the road first. It's better to rest here tonight. If you go forward, there will be no one in front of you for more than ten miles. I'm afraid we have to set up a tent in the wild. Otherwise, spend the night here?"

Li Zhi thought about it, but did not answer immediately, but knocked on the frame of the car window with a horse whip and asked, "Mei Niang, what do you think? Should I rest here, or should I continue walking for a few more miles and stay in a tent?"

Wu Meiniang poked her head out of the car window and looked at the small village in front. She saw that the houses in the village were low and somewhat dilapidated. It seemed that the villagers did not live a wealthy life.

She said, "It's better to set up a tent than to live here!" Her voice was still hoarse, but she could already say the whole sentence.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, we're just having fun. If we still have to stay in the common people's houses, we'd be disappointed. We should walk a few more miles, raise a bonfire after dark, and set up a tent by the forest!"

Wang Ping'an is invincible. He accompanied his leader to travel wildly. Of course, how can he make his leader happy? What should he do!

After crossing the village, walking forward and walking straight out of three miles. Only then did I see a stream in front of me, so I decided to camp here.

Some of the Ouyang brothers set up tents, some picked up firewood, while others took bows and arrows into the dense forest to hunt wild animals. After a while, everything was done. Wang Ping'an accompanied Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang to sit by the bonfire, watching the Ouyang brothers barbecue wild game.

Li Zhidao: "I wonder who built the cave temple. Which gods and Buddhas are there in the temple?"

Wang Ping'an said: "It seems that it was built by the Northern Wei Dynasty. I don't know which gods and immortals are inside." He has to be too busy with so many things and really doesn't have much energy to study these things. Anyway, when he arrives at the place, he will know which god and Buddha it is!

Wu Meiniang suddenly said, as if she had remembered something, and turned to look at the way she came.

Li Zhi hurriedly asked, "Mei Niang, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Meiniang said, "The village I just passed by should not be far from the Grotto Temple, right?"

Wang Ping'an said: "It's not far away. We will set off tomorrow and we will be able to reach the Grotto Temple in the morning. The village is only half a day away from the temple. We are walking slowly. If the villagers come and walk, it will be a little while."

Wu Meiniang said, "Since they are so close, the people in the village must have been to the temple and prayed to gods and Buddhas, and gods and Buddhas will protect them?"

Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi said in unison: "That's natural. It's so close that villagers often go to worship, and gods and Buddhas are naturally protected."

Wu Meiniang said anxiously: "Then send someone back and have a look. I want to know if there are all men and women in that village!"

Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi looked at each other. It turned out that what she was worried about was this matter. What's there to worry about?

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Of course, it won't be all men. If it were all men, wouldn't this village be over? So there must be women!"

Li Zhi also said: "Yes, there must be a woman. This... Then I will send someone back to take a look and you will know it when you ask!" Seeing that Wu Meiniang was anxious, he asked Wang Ping'an to send someone back.

A pregnant woman has a little different temper than that of ordinary people. If she thinks about something and cannot solve it immediately, she will become more and more anxious. Wang Ping'an naturally knows this characteristic. He quickly called a brother Ouyang and told him to go back and ask if there are all men in the village.

Brother Ouyang, who was sent back, immediately got on the horse and rushed back to the small village.

At this time, the wild game was roasted, and Li Zhi took a chicken wing for Wu Meiniang, but Wu Meiniang shook her head. She cared too much about whether the child she was pregnant with was a boy or a girl. When she thought of this, she couldn't eat anything and was in a state of urgency.

Fortunately, the Ouyang brother returned in a moment, got off his horse and ran over, and he said, "Master, there are all men in that village, not a woman, two children, and they are all boys!"

Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi were shocked. How could there be no women in that village, all men? Then wouldn't this village be ruined?

Wu Meiniang was overjoyed, and she said, "Really, there are really no women? They are all men and boys?" She held her stomach with her hands and felt very happy. In this way, the gods and Buddhas in the cave temple are indeed very effective!

Wang Ping'an was anxious and asked, "How could there be no women? How many people are there in that village? How many families are all men? Where are their women?"

Li Zhi also said: "Yes, how could it be all men?"

Brother Ouyang was also puzzled and said, "I don't know about this. Because I was anxious to come back to report the news, I didn't ask more!"

Wang Ping'an said angrily: "I'm confused. If you ask more questions, how much time can you waste? You didn't ask, but brought back this news. Wouldn't it make me anxious? I'll go and see it myself."

Li Zhi said: "I will go and see, there is such a strange thing in the world!"

The two of them got on the horse at the same time and rushed back to the small village together. However, Wu Meiniang was still sitting by the bonfire, holding her hands together, chanting Amitabha with her eyes closed, begging God to give her a boy!

The village was not far from where they were camping. After riding a horse, he returned to the village after a moment. Wang Ping'an got off the horse and knocked on the family at the head of the village. When he saw an old man opening the door, he asked, "Brother-in-law, there are only men in your village? What about that woman? Is there any plague in the village?"

The old man exclaimed and said, "Why just one person left and another group came?" He looked at Wang Ping'an, Li Zhi, and the guards behind them, and then said, "The little boy speaks like this, but it really makes people not like to listen to it. There is no plague, how do you speak!"

Wang Ping'an and the others were wearing casual clothes, pretending to be young masters who were traveling with rich families. They couldn't tell that they were officials, so the old man was not too polite.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly apologized and asked again: "Brother-in-law, are there only men in your village and no women?"

The old man became even more unhappy and said angrily: "What's wrong with this? The person just now... is the one behind you, and he asked this too. After asking, he ran away! There is no village with only men in the world, and it is not enough to have women!"

Li Zhi yelled and said, "We are here to care about you, you are still angry. Where are the women in your village?"

The old man said: "Now there are only elderly people and children in the village. The rest of the people have gone to the city, where people need to build canals. The governor is kind and righteous, and he is responsible for food and fullness. He can let go of food. I heard that when the canal is repaired, he can still pay a few more money. People who can do things in the village have gone. Not only in our village, but also in the village, what's so strange about it? What's so unlucky about it? "

After saying that, he slammed the door and stopped answering Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi!

Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi looked at each other and laughed. So that's what happened! It turned out that the strong men and women in the village went to build the canal. It happened that the remaining old people and children were all men, and there were no old ladies or little girls, so this misunderstanding occurred!

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Your Highness, although this is a coincidence, there is no need to explain it to Mei Niang, just make her happy. She thinks it is the blessing of God and Buddha that she will definitely give birth to a boy!"

Li Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, it's good to cheat her, just make her happy!"

The two of them got on the horse again and returned to the camp. They were anxious when they came, but they walked a little slower when they went back. Li Zhi asked, "No, Mei Niang is pregnant with a boy, right? Don't be happy for nothing."

Wang Ping'an said firmly: "It's a boy, I can guarantee that it's a boy. Please rest assured that your highness will definitely not be wrong!"

Li Zhi nodded and walked for a short while, but he whispered: "Actually, I'm better for a girl, so worry-free!" After that, he sighed and looked sad.

Wang Ping'an knew in his heart that having too many sons is of course a good thing, but for the Li family royal family, having too many sons will cause more trouble. Especially with Wu Meiniang's current identity, if he gives birth to a son, it will be relied on Wu Meiniang, but for Li Zhi, it will be a big headache!

But having a boy or a girl is not a matter of final say. Even if you have a headache, Li Zhi has to take the initiative!

Wang Ping'an comforted him: "Your Highness, Mei Niang's first child must be a son, but maybe she will be a daughter in the future, or maybe she may have a twin this time, which is unknown!"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "God is destined to do things for children. I can't force them even if I am alone, let's go with the flow!"

After a while, when he returned to the camp, Li Zhi told Wu Meiniang about the strange thing that there were only men in the village. Wu Meiniang was sure of this and felt even more happy, and she had a big appetite. When she was happy, she ate an extra chicken leg.

On the branches, everyone goes into the tent to rest.

After sleeping until midnight, a hoarse scream suddenly came from the camp. Wang Ping'an was awakened and thought to himself: "This is Wu Meiniang's voice, what's wrong with her?" He didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He ran to Li Zhi's tent barefoot and asked: "Your Highness, has something happened?"

Li Zhi's voice came from the tent, very tired. He said, "Mei Niang had a nightmare and was woken up by the dream!"

Wang Ping'an said, "My Niang's throat pain has not yet healed, so it is not suitable to shout loudly, otherwise it will worsen the condition."

Li Zhi sighed, as if comforting Wu Meiniang. After a moment, he said again: "Mei Niang was awakened, and she didn't want to scream."

Wang Ping'an couldn't bear it and asked, "What kind of dream did you have? I was so scared like this?"

Li Zhi's voice was quite depressed, and he said, "Mei Niang dreamed that she had a daughter!"
