Chapter 13 Hanshan Temple
I don't know how long the carriage has been bumping on the road, but it finally arrived.
Hanyashan Temple does not reveal the feeling of cold and depression as its name, there are tall evergreen trees planted outside, because it is fifteen, there are more people who come here to incense than usual, and it is also very lively.
When Bai Yuxi saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but think about why such a good temple should be named 'Hanshan Temple'.
"I've seen the presiding abbot. Li said to the presiding officer with his right hand on his chest and a robe.
"Amitabha, the donor is courteous. The host said.
"This time I came to pray for blessings, and I also want to ask the host to help my three daughters take a look at the marriage. Li pointed to Bai Yuxi and the three behind him and said, Li didn't want to talk about Bai Yuxi, but if she was missed, it would inevitably show the partiality of this mother.
"Mother" heard Li say this, the faces of the three of them turned red unconsciously, but Bai Yuxi secretly slandered this unscrupulous feudal society, how old is he to talk about marriage, the eldest Bai Yuxian is only seventeen years old, in the next generation, he is still in high school.
"It's all big girls, and she's shy. Li Shi saw that the faces of several people were red, and he couldn't help but say.
"I don't know if the host agrees. This sentence was said to the host.
"Master Li is devoted to worshiping the Buddha, and the three little donors are also rich and noble, this marriage is only a matter of it, but it is not easy to say, why don't you go to the back hall to draw lots?" the host said.
"Thank you for the host, after the disciples have made incense, they will go to the back hall. "All believers who come to offer incense can call themselves disciples.
After Li finished speaking, he pulled Bai Yuxian and the three walked to a gold-plated Buddha statue, the Buddha statue is very tall, but it does not lose its own Buddha nature, it seems all-encompassing; Seeing Li kneeling on a futon, his hands folded and his eyes closed and whispering softly, Bai Yuxian and the three of them also learned from Li's example and found a futon and knelt up, but there was no mental obstacle to kneeling Buddha Bai Yuxi, although she liked Taoism at the beginning.
After everyone had put all the incense into the incense burner, a little monk led them to the back hall, where the abbot sat cross-legged on the futon and placed things for drawing lots.
"The abbot presiding, I don't know what the disciple needs to do?" This is also the first time for the Li family, or I heard others say that the presiding officer of this Hanshan Temple is considered to be a marriage very accurate.
"No, you don't. As long as these three little donors draw a lot in this lottery. The host said.
"Yuxi, you are the youngest, and it should be your sister who came first. Li said, obviously thinking that this method was too simple, and he didn't believe that such a lottery could be considered a marriage, so he asked Bai Yuxi to go first.
"It's still my sister who comes first, how can anyone who is a sister be in front of my sister, isn't it overstepping. Bai Yuxi said.
"It's good to be self-aware. Bai Yurong said on the side.
"The third sister is the youngest, and the elder sister should be the one who wants to be on the younger sister. "Bai Yuxian naturally understands what the Li family means.
"Amitabha, the three little donors don't have to go up, this lot can be drawn together, in the same lot. The host heard the words of several people and said.
"This lottery can be drawn together? Isn't it someone else's own who can't draw it? Hearing the abbot say this, Bai Yuxian said.
"That's right, if someone takes away his lot, wouldn't he snatch away the marriage that originally belonged to him, how can this be counted?" Bai Yurong said anxiously.
Bai Yuxi also felt strange, how many people drew a lot of lots together, but they were not as anxious as Bai Yurong.
"Don't worry, the old man has a point in saying this. The host said without hurry. "Everyone's life is different, naturally the draw is different, the Buddha has a cloud, with the heart, with the fate, with the nature, so even if it is with others to draw lots, no matter what is drawn, it belongs to you; Speaking of piety with his hands folded and eleven faces.
"In that case, let's get started. The host said so, even if the Li family had any opinions, no matter how doubtful they were, it was not good to say it, so they had to think about ending it early, so they spoke.
I saw that the host picked up the stick holder and shook it a few times casually and then stopped, Bai Yuxi was speechless when he saw it, even if it was casual, casual, and casual, but this was too simple, but fortunately, I didn't believe in these things.
After seeing that the host was shaken, Bai Yuxi picked out the one that was more pleasing to the eye, and Bai Yuxian and Bai Yurong also took the sign and spent it; a little monk took out the sign in the hands of the three people, and soon saw him holding the corresponding sign and looking at it.
Li glanced at Bai Yuxian's sign, and saw that the sign read, 'The fake phoenix and the void phoenix eventually become a pair, and the immortal in the cloud is even more empty.' It's a dissatisfied face, although I can't understand the latter sentence, but the previous sentence can still be understood, isn't this saying that his daughter can't become the queen in the future, she can only be a fake phoenix.
Bai Yuxian didn't believe it when she saw this lot, but she couldn't have imagined that she would think of it again many years later.
"Host, what is the explanation of this sign?" Bai Yurong took the sign and asked the host, after all, there is a request for others, and his attitude has improved.
"The donor's signature is 'helpless since ancient times?' means that the donor is very helpless to do something, but he can't change it, so he can only do it like this; This is the turning point, and after meeting this person, the benefactor can ask for the dilemma.
"It's true, but it's not about marriage. After listening to what the host said, Bai Yurong asked in a low voice.
"The monks don't lie, and the marriage of the donor is in it. ”
"Third sister, you've signed it, take it out and give it to the host. After Bai Yuxian saw Bai Yurong's signing, he said to Bai Yuxi on the side.
"Okay, trouble hosting. "Anyway, it's nothing, and I didn't bother to pull it over with the Li family, so I simply handed the sign in my hand to the host, but it was signed...
"The donor has a strange fate, 'a pure soul left in the world, who will spend his years to be treated?' This sign means that the donor will spend his years for the person he loves, but I don't know who this person is. "The host did not unsign the sign, and I don't know what to say.
In fact, when Bai Yuxi saw this sign, he also jumped, "a wisp of clear soul" is talking about himself, but why did he hand over this sign to the host, it is because the host is inconvenient to say, or he doesn't know how to solve it. Originally, Bai Yuxi also wanted to see what Bai Yuxian's signature was, but she didn't expect that Li didn't want to host the unsigning, which made her very curious, and she observed that Li and Bai Yuxian's mood didn't seem to be as good as it was when they came, so she also thought that Bai Yuxian's sign would not be a good sign.
"Presiding, the disciple wants to know why this temple is named 'Hanshan Temple'? I wonder if the presiding officer can easily answer?" When everyone was about to leave, Bai Yuxi still did not forget this question, so he asked the presiding.
"When the donor's mother first came, she also asked this question, not the current Li Shizhu. When the host heard Bai Yuxi ask like this, he couldn't help but say with nostalgia.
Hearing what the host said, she knew that it was her biological mother Shen, who originally planned to ask about her mother, but seeing Li on the side, she pressed the thoughts in her heart, and she had the opportunity to inquire about her mother's affairs in the future, although this is not Bai Yuxi's mother, but her soul has long been fused with the obsession left by the original owner of this body, and she has a deep memory of her mother, so now Bai Yuxi also cares about her mother very much.
After listening to what the host said, Bai Yuxi finally knew why this place was called 'Hanshan Temple', it turned out that this place was not called 'Hanshan Temple' hundreds of years ago, but suddenly one day, a Taoist priest came here to talk about Buddhism with the abbot of this temple, not so much to talk about it as a competition, in this competition, the Taoist priest finally said after winning, "Buddhism is not Erer." Then he drifted away, the abbot presided over the meditation room in the meditation room for three days to reflect, no one knew what he was thinking, perhaps because he felt that he did not achieve the Buddhist principle of 'Zen, the heart also', the people of the region fought; when he came out, he decided to change the name of the temple to the name of the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest's surname is Chen, the name is Hanshan, this is the origin of Hanshan Temple.
Because it takes more than half a day to get from the Prime Minister's Mansion to this temple, plus after the incense and the visa, it is already more than half of the application time, so they have to stay here for one night and can go back tomorrow;
