Chapter 11 - Future Greatest Buddhist Shoalin Warrior?

Master Zi Chen was walking towards the gate of Buddha's temple for worship and everyone were following Master Zi Chen from his behind. Master Zi Chen while was thinking about the image of Buddha that he saw in Emperor Shou's Son's eyes was making him curious to think what that means. That image was coming into his head again and again.

"The image of Buddha sitting under the bodhi tree, calmly doing meditation with a rising sun behind him. What does it mean...? What sign it is.....?" If I am not wrong whenever we see this type of image in someone's eyes that means that person is suppose to be the one of great Buddhist Shoalin warrior who take birth once in thousand years....." 

Master Zi Chen had this thought in his mind and suddenly he again looked at Emperor Shou's Son's eyes and this time he was having a close look.

At first Master Zi Chen didn't see anything in his eyes. Master Zi Chen again gave close look to his eyes but still he didn't saw the image of Buddha.

"I think it was just an illusion of my eyes..... my eyes some day will get me into trouble....." Master Zi Chen said to himself and rubbed his eyes but after he rubbed his eyes a little suddenly he saw that exact image of Lord Buddha sitting under the bodhi tree meditating with a rising sun behind him again.

"What...!? That is the exact same image which I had saw before..... Lord Buddha under the bodhi tree with a rising sun behind him... that means it was not an illusion it was all true.... and if I am seeing this image in his eyes that means he..." Master Zi was acknowledging but suddenly Emperor Shou called him.

"MASTER....!!!!" Emperor Shou called and this caught Master Zi Chen's attention.

"Argh..... yes Emperor Shou!" Master Zi Chen asked.

"Master! We have arrived to the temple, where are you going?" Emperor Shou asked.

Master Zi Chen didn't realized that he has arrived to the temple as he was too busy in looking the image of Lord Buddha in the eyes of Emperor Shou's son.

"Oh.... oh... I didn't realize that we have arrived to the temple! I am sorry Emperor Shou but your Son's eyes are very mesmerizing, it hypnotized me again." Master Zi Chen joked and everyone laughed for a moment however Emperor Shou and Empress Hanmei were little bit suspicious about it because since Master Zi Chen had their son in his hands he was acting very strange. So before Master Zi Chen could start the worship Emperor Shou asked him again.

"Master! Are you sure that everything is okay with our son?" Emperor Shou asked.

"Yes... Yes... everything is okay, why are you asking again?" Master Zi Chen said.

"I am sorry Master but since you had my child in your arms you are acting very strange." Emperor Shou replied.

"Emperor Shou, I told you that your Son's eyes are so mesmerizing that I didn't realize that we have arrived to temple. You don't trust me?" Master Zi Chen asked.

"No... no... there is nothing like that. I fully trust you Master! I am sorry if I hurt you." Emperor Shou apologised.

"No! Emperor Shou you don't have to apologize, in fact I am sorry for acting so strange." Master Zi Chens smiled and apologised for his behavior but Emperor Shou was feeling quite disappointed because he thought that he had hurt Master Zi Chen's feelings for not trusting him.

"Emperor Shou..... I think we should start the worship. Shall we?" Master Zi Chen asked and Emperor Shou nodded his head and proceeded to start the worship. 

Somewhere around Xiú again started with her nonsense things.

"Did you see?" Xiú asked Cheng.

"See what?" Cheng asked.

"Oh.... didn't you see? Master was again busy looking into brother Shou's Son's eyes and he was so busy looking into his eyes that he didn't realized that we have arrived to the temple." Xiú said.

"So.... what....? Didn't you heard that Emperor Shou's Son's eyes are so mesmerizing that it made Master Zi Chen lost into his eyes." Cheng replied.

"Oh..... Lord! I never realized that my husband could be that idiot. Master Zi Chen was lying didn't you understand?" Xiú said.

"Lying! But why?" Cheng asked curiously.

"Who knows? Maybe he does not want tell everyone that Emperor Shou's son is blind. I am telling you Emperor Shou's son is blind, you don't believe me but he is blind, I am telling you." Xiú claimed that Emperor Shou's son is blind however Cheng was not interested in hearing Xiú's claims. 

"Xiú! You started again! I told you before that we don't have to talk about this here." Cheng replied.

"Why are so frustrated about it? You don't believe what I am saying? When I am saying that he must be blind then he must be blind....." Xiú was arguing with Cheng suddenly Empress Hanmei heard them quarreling and also something about their argument they were having.

"Uhmm... who is blind sister in law?" Empress Hanmei asked.

Xiú and Cheng were shocked to see Empress Hanmei and when Empress Hanmei unexpectedly asked. Now they had no idea what say and they started to look each other's face.

"Tell me sister in law, who is blind?" Empress Hanmei asked again.

"Blind!? Who said blind? Xiú did you say blind?" Cheng started acting weirdly like Xiú didn't said the word blind infront of Empress Hanmei and Xiú understood what Cheng was trying to do, so she also decided to start acting with Cheng as well.

"Blind!? No I never said the word blind. Did you heard me saying blind sister in law?" Xiú said.

"Yes I heard when you were talking to brother in law Cheng saying that he must be blind, he must be blind. Who should be blind?" Empress Hanmei replied.

"Blind? Oh.... oh... oh sister in law I guess you had heard wrong, Xiú was not saying he must be blind, actually she was saying that there must be wine in today's dinner." Cheng said.

"Wine....? What wine?" Empress Hanmei asked curiously.

"Sister in law, Xiú is constantly telling me that there must be tusu wine in today's lunch but I am telling her she can't drink tusu wine because she is having a stomach ache today but instead listening to me she is arguing, now you tell me am I wrong?" Cheng said while Xiú was looking at him with anger in her eyes when he said that.

"No brother in law you are not wrong. Sister in law! brother in law is right, in this condition you should not drink Tusu wine, it may harm you. Brother in law is saying for your own health." Empress Hanmei said.

Xiú was very angry when Cheng said this made up excuse to Empress Hanmei because Tusu wine is Xiú's favorite wine but there is no choice left for her now, guess she now has to sacrifice drinking her favorite wine as well tonight.

"Yes Sister in law! You are right, I will not drink the tusu wine tonight." Xiú unwillingly but assured Empress Hanmei.

"Tonight I will tell our chefs to make a cinnamon and ginger soup for you it will give some relief to your stomach." Empress Hanmei said.

Xiú was smiling in front of Queen Hanmei but inside she was like.

"What the hell are you doing? Please don't do this." Xiú saying in her mind.

Emperor Shou then called Empress Hanmei for the worship.

"OK I must take a leave." Empress Hanmei said and goes back to her husband. As soon as she leaves Xiú again punched Cheng behind his back so hard.

"Ouch... what!?" Cheng asked in pain.

"What!? Couldn't you say something else in front of her? You've got this stupid excuse in your stupid mind to make?" Xiú asked.

"Why are you blaming me? I was constantly telling you this is not the right time to talk about this but you were constantly saying no he must be blind....., he must be blind..... now take it." Cheng replied.

"Oh god! First great food was already out of my hands and now my favorite Tusu wine. Thank you for ruining my day!" Xiú was blaming Cheng while Cheng was rubbing his back because of pain meanwhile Master Zi Chen was preparing to begin the worship.
