Chapter 533 Happy Engagement! [Monthly Ticket Request]

"Hey, why is there a monk in the B&B?"

Zhang Ping was a little surprised when she saw Xuanzang in cassocks. These Hanfu enthusiasts are really getting wilder and wilder now. Wearing short robes is not enough, and they even wear monk cassocks.

Will there be a Yellow Turban Army uniform tomorrow that says, "If you are six years old, the world will be prosperous"?

Xuanzang thought that Li Yu was about to get engaged and guessed that these people should be relatives and friends, so he took the initiative to say:

"I have met all the donors. The young monk is a monk and is a good friend of donor Li. I heard that he was about to get engaged, so I came here to chant sutras and pray for blessings."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping became excited:

"Hey, it turns out that I came here to give my son a blessing. Thank you so much for this mage... Are you a monk? Do you understand marriage? My son and my daughter-in-law are a perfect match, right?"

My son's social circle is really complicated, and there is actually a monk. This brat even ate five or six sheep's hooves for lunch, and he didn't even talk about following the monks' example of eating vegetarian food and keeping healthy.

It seems that she is the mother of His Royal Highness the Holy Son...Xuan Zang saluted again:

"Donor Li is blessed with great blessings, and Ms. Zhou is beyond words. By combining the two of them, their careers will be further advanced and their lives will be happier and more fulfilling."

All mothers like to hear other people praise their children. Now Xuanzang not only praised Li Yu, but also his daughter-in-law. Zhang Ping was extremely happy.

Relatives around her also blessed Zhang Ping one after another, and kept saying that Xiaoyu was an unusual child since he was a child, and he will indeed be promising when he grows up.

Li Yu's second aunt liked Buddhism and always talked about being vegetarian. Seeing that Xuanzang's words were so pleasant, she quickly asked:

"Master, I have been a bit greedy in the past two days and have eaten a lot of meat. The people in the group asked me to release my life to atone for my sins. Is this possible?"

Xuanzang became excited as soon as he heard about this conversation:

"Meat is nutritious, so eat it when you should. Almost all worries in a person's life are related to desires. Being a vegetarian can reduce desires and allow you to experience happiness in life... If you become unhappy because of being a vegetarian, just follow what Buddhism advocates The concept of life is in the opposite direction and must be abandoned... As for releasing animals, it is a big sin, so don’t participate.”

"Really? Why do you say that?"

This time, not only the second aunt showed interest, but also all the relatives around her came over.

This monk looked young, and what he said was contrary to mainstream Buddhist thought, but for some reason, I always felt that what he said was correct.

Xuanzang said:

"From an ecological point of view, the ecology develops normally regardless of water areas or mountains and forests. Releasing some creatures rashly will break the ecological cycle and will inevitably cause the death of many creatures. This is tantamount to killing, and the person who releases them must bear the consequences. ”

At this time, Zhou Ruotong's mother, Zhao Peimin, also wandered over. After hearing Xuanzang's words, she asked:

"This is the first time I heard a monk talk about ecology. What about it from a Buddhist perspective?"

"From a Buddhist perspective, every time you release an animal, it will reduce your own luck. The more times you release an animal, it will have a great impact on your family, career, and health...Buddhist said that letting go of obsessions, and releasing an animal is also a type of obsession. ”

This refreshing theory surprised all the relatives. Soon, everyone gathered around, asking about such topics as luck, career, and health.

Xuanzang vaguely remembered that he came to the real world to find His Highness the Son of God, but His Highness the Son of God was nowhere to be found, but he was surrounded by elders.

The second aunt asked:

"Master, where are you holding a class? I want to go to the class. Come on, come on, let's add a friend first. You are much better than the monk who gave the Dharma class before. Those people started selling products before they finished three sentences. You’re not bad, you haven’t sold merit rice, karma-eliminating noodles, or indulgence coupons so far, which is quite good.”

Xuanzang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of nonsense is this?

While everyone was asking, Li Yu came over with a basket of sticky bean buns for his relatives to taste. Seeing Xuanzang there, he was a little surprised:

"When did you come?"

"For more than half an hour, the elders have been asking me about Buddhism."

Li Yu handed the basket to Zhang Ping:

"This is my friend. He came to see me for something. Let's talk for a while. Later, I will go to the living room to give you a Dharma class... These Great Compassionate Sticky Bean Buns, it's not too much to sell them to you for fifty yuan each. Bar?"

Zhang Ping was amused by her silly son:

"Rolling around, I will be thinking about the little money we have in our pockets all day long, and we are about to catch up with the low-price tour group... Dear, try the bean buns made by my son. I mixed the fillings, so I deliberately added less. Some sugar, eat healthy.”

"Let's all eat together. There are so many relatives in our family, so don't just entertain me."

Li Yu led Xuanzang into the courtyard of the B&B. He wanted to go to the study, but thinking that his grandfather was playing chess with the old man of the Zhou family, and that his father, father-in-law, and the second uncle of both parties were all working as military advisors, he had no choice but to lead Xuanzang there. The small pavilion in the courtyard:

"Come over suddenly, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun heard the rumors from the Conferred God World that His Highness the Holy Son was going to the book world. Both he and Wukong felt unsafe, so they asked the poor monk to ask."

Li Yu said:

"Tongtong wants to travel to the world in the book, but I won't go...the two saints don't transform into Taoists, so my mother forbids me from even stepping into the world in the book."

After confirming this, Xuanzang clasped his hands and said:

"So that's it. Then why didn't Empress Qiongxiao stop the rumors?"

Yes, Qiong Xiao has an active mind and a big mouth. Everyone must have known about her yelling, but the old mother didn't stop and intervene, which was a bit abnormal.

Could it be that she was deliberately letting her spread the word so as to attract Zhun Tong to take action?

Zhunti just snatched away Yu Ruyi from Chanjiao. Once he shows up, Yuanshi Tianzun will definitely come running over.

Eh... If the old mother took action, wouldn't it be like two saints beating one up?

In the original work of "Fengshen Yanyi", the Taoist sect has deceived the Western religion so much that the two sides are now fighting to the death. If Zhunti can be allowed to passively transform into Taoism, Yuanshi Tianzun will not refuse.

Li Yu brainstormed and felt that he had guessed his old mother's intention.

Xuanzang became embarrassed:

"So, we should pretend not to know and continue to publicize that His Highness the Holy Son is about to arrive in the book world to inspect all parties, in order to paralyze the Saint?"

After going to the book world, no matter what they say or talk about, they can be noticed by the saints, unless they go to the Wa Palace, which is outside the Three Realms and can even block the perception of the saints.

Li Yu said:

"Wukong and Erlangshen are both extremely smart people. If you give a little hint, they will understand... Of course, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. The more ambiguous it is, the easier it is for the saint to be fooled."

After getting down to business, Xuanzang tactfully expressed to His Highness the Holy Son that a certain monkey wanted to eat mangosteens.

Without saying anything, Li Yu called Wu Song and asked him to go to the city to wholesale some mangosteens and deliver them to the B&B warehouse.

Upon hearing that Monkey King wanted it, Wu Song immediately drove the X5 to the fruit market, intending to wholesale a small car for the Monkey King to enjoy.

Seeing that it was still early, Xuanzang felt that some of what he had just said was unfinished, so he came up with the idea of ​​opening a Buddhist class.

Li Yu informed the circle, but he didn't expect that his relatives really wanted to hear it.

Soon, everyone was sitting in the living room, and Xuanzang took the microphone, correcting many real-world Buddhist views and promoting Buddhist ideas.

He kept talking until the evening, then stood up to say goodbye and wished all the best for the engagement ceremony tomorrow.

After dinner, Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong carried two glasses of grape juice with ice cubes to the scenic spot. As soon as they arrived at the statue, they heard their old mother chanting:

"What did Xuanzang do in the B&B in the afternoon? He actually had some weak belief in merit and virtue. Although it is not much, it is very pure. It is much higher than the world in the book."

"He opened a Buddhist class and taught some Buddhist concepts to my relatives... Mom, can you gain merit and belief by spreading some common sense?"

The empress said:

"It seems possible. Since it is useful, let Xuanzang give lectures regularly in the real world when he is not busy. The more merit and belief he has, the more advantages Duobao will have in doing things."

For Taoist Duobao, the current Buddhist sect basically only has two disciples, Ksitigarbha and Xuanzang, plus Nezha and his family are available, and the remaining Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are almost all enemies.

Now that I have found a way to increase my belief in merit, I naturally cannot let it go.

Maybe after the difficulties of 1981, Xuanzang can still drive the golden body and preach Buddhism to demons and monsters in a physical way.

Arriving in front of the statue, Zhou Ruotong sat down and said silently in his heart:

"I like the ring made by Empress Yunxiao very much. When I go to the book world, I have to give her a gift."

The empress also took great pains to bring the relationship between her daughters-in-law closer:

"Don't call me empress, we are separated. How old is Yunxiao? You are still a born creature. If Tongtong doesn't mind, just call me sister."

"Okay, then I'll call you Sister Yunxiao."

In Journey to the West, Wukong opened a box of mangosteen and pinched it open with great experience. The monkey eagerly took out the pieces of pulp inside and asked Xuanzang while eating:

"Master, have you asked clearly?"

Xuanzang nodded, sat on a stone with an apple and nibbled on it:

"Let's ask clearly. After a while, there will indeed be distinguished guests coming to visit us. Wukong must be prepared by then. We must do our part as landlords."

Distinguished guest?

Wukong raised his head in surprise.

If he is the Son of God, then he is the Son of God; if he is not the Son of God, then he is someone else. What does this ambiguous guest mean?

As a non-staff member of the Buddhist scripture gathering team, Erlang Shen vaguely felt that there was another mystery, but he didn't say anything more and just ate the hot and sour noodles he had just cooked.

Wukong doesn't like spicy food, and Xuanzang doesn't like spicy food, so this pot of hot and sour noodles belongs to Erlang Shen alone.

He looked at the map and saw that five hundred miles to the west was quite safe, and there were no traces of demons or monsters. He then said to Wukong and Xuanzang:

"After eating these powders, I will go back first to deal with the affairs in the temple and contact the land in various places. If there are man-eating monsters, I will lead an army to conquer them."

Wukong asked:

"Now that you're gone, what will you do when the equipment His Royal Highness bought arrives? You can't let me carry it alone, right?"

Erlang Shen said:

"I'll bring my brothers here to carry it together so that everyone can earn some merit."

Hearing the word merit, Wukong quickly changed the subject:

"You are the Erlang Xianshengzhenjun, so you should be busy. I, the old sun, can do this little thing by myself. You don't need to run back and forth."

The participating gods can print their names on the salt bags, which is so heartwarming.

If I, the old man, were to move alone, I would just print a pattern of the Monkey King. Even the advertising slogans are ready-made:

Monkey King salt is delicious and sweet...

But sweet doesn’t seem to be the right word to describe salt, so forget it, that’s it, let Xiao Diting and Xiao Xiaotian scare anyone who has any objections, and play the 108 ways to make dog meat in a loop if they dare to disobey!

Erlang Shen did not argue with him. After eating and drinking, he took ten boxes of mangosteen and twenty boxes of bananas and flew away quickly, completely ignoring the monkey shouting behind him.

"Why is the Great Sage so out of control?"

While Wukong was shouting, Nezha flew over from the west and took the initiative to greet him.

Seeing this guy coming, Wukong quickly tied the cloth bag around his waist:

"What are you doing here?"

Nezha clasped his fists and bowed:

"To convey my master's Buddhist decree... Brother Xuanzang, Master wants to know what you did in the real world, and you actually have more merits and faith."

Pure merits and pure faith are not lacking for Lingshan.

But the combination of the two, plus the high purity, even Tathagata couldn't sit still. As soon as he sensed the change, he hurriedly sent Nezha to ask.

Xuanzang told the truth:

"I explained some Buddhist principles to the relatives and elders of His Majesty the Holy Son, and corrected some wrong Buddhist views in the real world. I didn't expect to gain such a reward."

Nezha bowed:

"If you have time, you can talk more. This method is very beneficial to Lingshan."

"Okay, I'll go over there and talk when I'm not busy."

Nezha came and left quickly. Before leaving, he came to Wukong, rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly:

"Great Sage, can you give me some fruit? The oranges were delicious last time. ”

Wukong didn’t want to give it, but thinking that he might need Nezha to help fight in the future, he gave him five boxes of mangosteen and ten boxes of bananas:

“That’s all. If I need help in the future…”

“Don’t worry, Great Sage. This prince will come whenever you call, no matter what happens!”

“Okay, I feel relieved when you say that.”

After Nezha left, Wukong and Xuanzang ate something and continued on their journey. There was a black bear monster waiting to be subdued at the Guanyin Temple, so they couldn’t let him be intercepted.

In the real world, the engagement day finally arrived.

Since they had said in advance that they would keep a low profile, not many administrators came, but all three of Yue Fei, Liu Xie, and Li Shimin’s direct disciples came.

When Liu Xie came, he also brought a handwritten letter from Zhuge Liang, in which he wrote a long blessing and expressed his regret and apology for not being able to come to the real world.

Although Zhuge Liang now knows the life in the original book, he has always maintained his innocence because he has not experienced it personally and has a good life.

Li Shimin read it and said with a smile:

"There is a suspicion of piling up words between the lines, but this also shows that Junior Brother Kong Ming is in a good mood. If it were the bitter prime minister in the original book, he would not be able to write such a gorgeous letter."

Yue Fei was more concerned about Zhuge Liang's health and said to Liu Xie:

"Please tell Junior Brother Kong Ming to exercise more. A strong body is the foundation for conquering the world."

"Don't worry, Brother Fei, I will tell him."

Now Chang'an University has meat every meal, and every ten days he can eat crane meat to strengthen his body. Zhuge Liang's body will never be as weak as in the original book.

When he becomes an adult, he may be able to fight in the battlefield.

If Liang gets angry at that time, the other party will be pissed off?

All worlds sent engagement gifts, which are nothing more than some gold and silver items that are easy to cash in.

Now everyone knows that it is not easy to cash out by giving other things, and donating to museums all the time is not a solution. After all, 99% of museums in the country rely on grants to survive.

Relatively speaking, gold ingots are better. The price of gold in the real world is high now, so it is the best to cash out.

At noon, the engagement ceremony was held at the International Hotel in the city. Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong exchanged engagement rings and watched various blessing videos recorded in the book world.

Most relatives and friends regarded the video content as an activity in the COS group. They felt that the actors were quite like that, more temperamental and better acting skills than traffic stars.

Especially those actresses who pretended to be goddesses, they even added special effects, making them look like real gods... In terms of work, they have to be Hanfu enthusiasts!

Zhou Yongnian and his sons watched every one of them very seriously.

After the video ended, Zhou Yongyuan specially asked Zhou Ruotong to copy a copy, intending to take it back for careful study.

After lunch, relatives and friends left one after another.

Li Yu saw off the parents and elders of both parties at the high-speed railway station, drove Zhou Ruotong to the archaeological team to continue working, and then returned to the B&B.

As soon as he got off the car, Mu Guiying came over impatiently:

"Hurry up, we've been waiting for a long time!"

Li Yu locked the car door and went to the study with her, and then saw Diao Chan sitting on the sofa, with shyness and expectation on her face.

"Come on, Madam, I'll put the engagement ring on you."

"Thank you...husband!"

Not bad, I didn't learn from a certain village owner to call out my late husband, which is progress.

Li Yu picked up the ring with a cicada wing pattern, held Diao Chan's slender and tender hand, and gently put it on the ring finger of his left hand.

Diao Chan took a look and threw herself into Li Yu's arms with joy:

"Are we engaged?"

"Yes, the kind that will never be separated."

"Thank you, husband, and thank you, Sister Zhou."

After the excitement, Diao Chan thought of Mu Guiying laughing beside her, and quickly let go of Li Yu and took a picture of the ring with her mobile phone. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She planned to go to the city to buy some gifts to thank Lady Yunxiao alone.

"Haha, it's finally my turn!"

Mu Guiying jumped into Li Yu's arms, kissed him hard first, and then took out her ring.

Li Yu took it in his hand and looked at the crown pattern on it. It seemed that he had to be the emperor.

He carefully put it on Mu Guiying and said:

"Tomorrow I will ask Zhang Daoling to go to Mu Kezhai to propose marriage, okay?"

"Okay, okay, no problem..."

All the elders left, and Mu Guiying leaned on the sofa and switched back to her previous unruly mode. Diao Chan, on the other hand, became more attentive and took out her mobile phone to notify Zhao Feng and others to continue the class tomorrow and strive to finish the course before the end of summer vacation.

Li Yu sat next to the two of them, took out his mobile phone to take a picture of his engagement ring, and posted a happy engagement dynamic in the circle of friends.

In the photo, the vine pattern, crown pattern, cicada wing pattern and auspicious cloud pattern intersect and shine, which is indescribably beautiful!
