Lu Weiyang fell into the hot spring. Ling Xuan could not care less about the difference between a man and a woman. He grabbed Lu Weiyang’s waist and pulled her out of the water.
Lu Weiyang fell into the hot spring unprepared. For a moment, she was panicking and her hands could not stop moving.
After Ling Xuan hugged her waist, she wrapped her arms around Ling Xuan’s neck.
Lu Weiyang looked into Ling Xuan’s eyes. This time, it was her turn to blush.
In the back of the mountain, the occasional cries of sparrows could be heard. Ling Xuan only let go of Lu Weiyang after some time. He got up in a hurry, put on his monk robe, and put on his kasaya. Then, he left in a hurry.
It was as if some wild monster was chasing after him.
Lu Weiyang was soaking in the hot spring pool. When she saw the string of Buddhist beads left by Ling Xuan by the stone, she picked up the beads and smiled lightly. She rubbed the beads with her fingers.
No wonder second brother said that the verdicts in Yuan Xi temple were quite accurate.
What was the saying that the world was safe and sound? It did not let down the Tathagata and did not let down the minister.
She, Weiyang, was the most honorable princess of Great Tang. She was born to be the Empress’pearl. She was loved by all and no one could let her down.
Only, she did not let down Tathagata!
Xiao Mang came over with clean clothes and said, “Your Highness, are you really here? Why are you soaking in the hot spring with your clothes on? Quickly change into your wet clothes. It’s cold in winter, don’t catch a cold because of it.”
Lu Weiyang changed into his clothes and put the Buddha beads on his wrist. Then, he went to the main hall to copy the Buddhist scriptures.
As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw the Xuanling kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with another string of Buddha beads in his hand. He was chanting the scriptures. When he was chanting the scriptures, he still looked cold and indifferent.
Lu Weiyang found Xiao Mang and said, “You guard the door and don’t allow anyone to come in.”
Xiao Mang nodded and said, “Yes, Your Highness.”
Lu Weiyang closed the door of the hall.
Seeing that the door was closed, Xuanling stood up and asked, “Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?”
Lu Weiyang walked closer to Xuanling and said, “Master Xuanling touched my waist just now and ruined my innocence. I want Master Xuanling to be responsible for me.”
Xuanling put her palms together and said, “Amitabha. This is an important place of Buddhism. Your Highness, please be careful.”
“Master is, after all, a abbot of a temple. This is in front of Buddha. How can master not take responsibility for me?”
Xuan ling frowned and said, “Your Highness, I was helpless just now. You know that you fell into the pond just now. If I didn’t save you, you would have lost your life. I didn’t return your Highness’innocence.”
Lu Weiyang tiptoed and lightly touched Xuan Ling’s lips. “There is now.”
Xuan Ling gasped. He had never seen such a bold woman. “Your Highness, how is your behavior different from that of a Hooligan? I Hope Your Highness has some self-respect. Otherwise, I will send a message to his majesty.”
Lu Weiyang laughed heartily. “This is different from a hooligan. After all, a hooligan molested a virtuous woman. A virtuous woman does not like them. And I know that Master has me in his heart.”
Xuanling frowned. “Your Highness, don’t talk nonsense.”
Lu Weiyang whispered in Xuanling’s ear, “I’m talking nonsense? You did hug me just now to save me, but after I was saved, master still hugged me and refused to let me go.”.
“Also, why did master run away in a hurry in the hot spring pool just now?”? “If Master’s heart wasn’t in a mess and he didn’t have me in his heart, he wouldn’t be afraid of breaking the rules. He only saved my life, so why did he run away in a hurry?”
Lu Weiyang reached out his finger and drew a circle on Xuanling’s heart. “You already have me here, don’t deny it.”
Xuanling put her hands together, and cold sweat kept breaking out on her forehead. Xuanling looked at Lu Weiyang. She was not princess da Tang, but clearly the seductive demon that her master described when she was young.
“Amitabha.”
“Don’t be Amitabha anymore. You hugged me and Kissed Me… You have to give me an explanation!”
Xuan Ling said, “Your Highness is so unreasonable. It was clearly you who kissed me just now.”
Lu Weiyang smiled and said, “It’s good that you remember this kiss. I am understanding and will not force you today.”
Lu Weiyang opened the door and left the hall. Xuan Ling walked to the place where Lu Weiyang was copying the scripture. She picked up the scripture that she had copied and looked at it. The words ‘Xuan Ling’were written all over it.
Xuan Ling sighed. She had been observing the rules and regulations for twenty years. She did not expect that she would break the rules today.
She did not expect that the Buddha Dharma that she had cultivated for twenty years would not be able to defeat a young girl who had just turned fifteen.
Lu Weiyang returned to the room and was in a good mood.
Xiao Mang asked Lu Weiyang, “Your Highness, why are you so happy today?”
“I’m going to have a son-in-law soon.”Lu Weiyang smiled.
Xiao Mang was puzzled, “Ah?”
The next morning, when the bell rang, Lu Weiyang got out of bed and went to the main hall to listen to Xuanling’s lecture on Buddhism. When Xuanling saw Lu Weiyang, she paused for a moment. However, there was a disciple beside her who reminded her before she continued.
After the morning lesson, Lu Weiyang followed Xuanling back to the abbot’s courtyard. She closed the door and said, “Master, have you thought about it? Have you thought about when to renounce asceticism?”
Xuan Ling said Amitabha and said, “Your Highness, this little monk will not renounce asceticism.”
The smile on Lu Weiyang’s face stopped. “Why? You clearly like me too. Isn’t it good to renounce asceticism and marry me?”
Xuan Ling fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, “This little monk was born to be a Buddhist. Ever since I learned how to speak, I grew up in a temple. His Majesty has taken pity on this little monk and made him the National Master. He is famous throughout the world. If this little monk renounces asceticism, it will inevitably cause the people in the world to laugh at the great Tang Buddhism.”
Lu Weiyang said anxiously, “There are many people with profound Buddhist skills in Datang. You have already moved your mortal heart and violated the rules and regulations. You are no longer qualified to be the National Master. Why Can’t you renounce asceticism and marry me?”
Xuan Ling said, “Even if you have moved your mortal heart, you can still stop it.”
“How can I stop it?”Lu Weiyang approached Xuan Ling with tears in his eyes. “Tell me, how can I stop it?”
Xuan Ling said, “Everyone in the world makes mistakes. Since you’ve made a mistake, you should stop it in time if you have thoughts that you shouldn’t have. For the sake of the princess, please leave the mountain as soon as possible. I hope that the princess will forget about me after leaving the mountain for half a year.”
Lu Weiyang said, “What if I can’t forget it after half a year?”
Xuan Ling said, “Your Highness, don’t be willful.”
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard. Lu ang entered and said, “Weiyang, what did you do in the temple? Master was so tired that he asked me to take you away early in the morning.”
Lu Weiyang looked at Xuan Ling, whose expression did not change, and said, “I just molested the holy monk.”
“Molested?”Lu ang held Lu Weiyang’s hand and said, “Are you crazy? Molested the monk? Do you think that the reputation of the princess of Chang ‘an is not bad enough?”
Lu Weiyang said, “If he was not tempted, how could I flirt with him? If he was tempted, he wanted me to stop being tempted. Master, is this the equality of all living things in Buddhism?”
Xuan Ling spun the Buddhist beads and read the scriptures.
Lu ang finally understood and said to Xuan Ling, “So Master is also interested in my sister? Then wouldn’t it be a good thing for both of us to return to the secular world?”
