Chapter 40: The Dragon is Not the Dragon and the Phoenix is not the Phoenix (1)

Luan Ge looked at her and couldn't help feeling irritable, but she still helped her and said patiently: "My aunt is loyal to her mother, how could Luan Ge not know, it's just that the mother is waiting, you better get up first, so as not to make the mother wait for a long time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Yun stopped her tears and stood up tremblingly with her hand. After she took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face, she continued to walk forward with her, and the two were speechless all the way.

Yong'an Palace is different from other palaces, because the imperial concubine is happy with the Buddha, and when she was pregnant with Luange, she devoted herself to the Buddha and asked Emperor Shengzhao for his will to transform the courtyard. The strong and gorgeous precious flowers in the flower garden were excavated, and the entire courtyard was also reclaimed, and the courtyard was planted with Xiangfei bamboo.

In the end, only two cobblestone paths were left and right on the main road to enter the door, which zigzagged to the main house behind the bamboo forest.

Quiet and elegant, like a hermit in the mountains.

Entering from the gate, what greeted me was the large piece of bamboo, and there was no specific situation in the inner garden, which was also the reason why Aunt Fang Caiyun dared to cry bitterly at Luan Ge without image so without any scruples.

When she was sent back here by Qianhua, the first time she saw such a scene, she was also amazed.

If she didn't know what kind of people lived there, maybe even she would have to applaud such a noble and elegant master, right?

Not long after, they arrived at the inner garden, and the two were about to enter the house, but they saw the imperial concubine's maidservant Ye'er coming out with a food box, and when they saw Luan Ge and the others, they hurriedly saluted and said: "The slave has seen the princess." ”

"Get up. Luan Ge said lightly.

"Niangniang has eaten?" Aunt Yun on the side looked at her and asked eagerly.

Ye Er looked at the food box full of dishes and bowls in her hand, and said embarrassedly: "Back to my aunt, my mother only ate a few bites, and then let the slave and maid withdraw."

Aunt Yun was anxious when she heard this, the master is not in good health, how can it be good not to even eat now? Just as she was about to speak, she heard Luan Ge say to Ye'er: "That's it, you go down first, I'll go see the concubine." ”

As he spoke, he was about to enter the house, but he heard Ye'er reply: "Back to the princess, Niangniang just went to the Buddha Hall." If you are looking for a mother, you have to go to the side hall. ”

"Well, I know, you go and get busy with you, my aunt will take me there. Luan Ge motioned for her to leave.

Hearing this, Aunt Yun on the side hurriedly stepped forward and walked to the Buddha hall in the side hall with Luan Ge.

Luan Ge looked at the qiē around him, it was still no different from three years ago, but a large area of June orchids were planted on both sides of the pebble path at the edge of the bamboo forest.

There are not a few steps from the main hall to the side hall, I think I know that she is coming, the door of the temple is not closed, just to the door has not entered, Luan Ge smelled a smell of sandalwood, burning incense every day for more than ten years, this smell is afraid that it has already melted into a table, a chair, a brick and a tile, right?

Aunt Yun led her to the depths of the Buddhist hall, where the imperial concubine was kneeling on the mat copying the scriptures, and a thick pile of ink-colored scriptures had been placed next to her.

When she heard the two of them come in, she didn't say hello, but wrote half of the scroll in her hand wholeheartedly.

Luan Ge was not in a hurry, and looked here casually.

Speaking of which, I have also lived in this Yong'an Palace for a period of time, and I am very familiar with every room, but I don't know much about this Buddhist hall.

The imperial concubine never let people enter the inner hall of the Buddhist hall, except for Aunt Yun, who was with her all the year round, and occasionally she was allowed to enter a few times.

Luan Ge still remembers that she pretended to be intimate at that time, and when it was time to eat, she ran into the Buddhist hall to call her mother to eat, but she was unexpectedly reprimanded coldly, and since then, she has been banned from entering.

This made her think that this Buddha hall had a big secret, and a few times she secretly went in to inquire at night, but she did not gain anything, but it made the concubine suspicious, saying that she was afraid of thieves and arranged for girls to take turns to keep vigil to add oil to the Buddha lamp.

Back then, in Yong'an Palace, when Luan Ge was fortunate to see his mother, she only had three meals a day. Sometimes the concubine doesn't even need to eat, and she is the only one left in the main hall of Nuo University.

Not only is he like this, but even with a group of girls, he can't see his master a few times.

This situation makes her not only find out useful information, but also be afraid to do things. It was she who wanted to find out more useful information by moving out of Yong'an Palace.

First, you can avoid being suspicious under the noses of others, and second, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and from the mouth of the girl who loves to chew her tongue, you may be able to get much higher news than the inside of Yong'an Palace.

There was silence in the Buddhist hall, and only the sound of shallow breathing and the tip of the pen dipped in ink could be heard.

inadvertently swept over Aunt Yun, and saw that her face was also pious and solemn.

But Luan Ge was not as serious as them, just turned his head around and looked here with a pair of big eyes.

There are three Buddha statues enshrined in the hall, in turn there are the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the statue of King Jizo Bodhisattva.

In the middle is a statue of Guanyin that is half a foot high, sitting on a lotus platform, holding a net bottle of willow, smiling at the corners of his lips, dignified, kind and compassionately looking at his followers.

It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva is an ancient Buddha who has been achieved for a long time, called "the Dharma is clear", in order to transform sentient beings, transform into 32 bodies, now 84 incarnations, give 24 kinds of fearlessness, have immeasurable wisdom and supernatural powers, great compassion, universal salvation of human suffering, is the most profound interpretation of the Mahayana Buddhism spirit of compassion and salvation.

In general, if a devout believer wants to worship and pray for blessings, it must be Guanyin Bodhisattva.

It's just that even you are so religious, and why?

Luan Ge's eyes finally fell on the woman who was plainly dressed and white, and was concentrating on copying scriptures.

What do the events of those years have to do with you? Are you doing all those things? Are you also repenting for solace in your soul?

Xiang'er

Luan Ge took a deep breath.

At this moment, the imperial concubine put down the pen in her hand, slowly got up, and said to Aunt Yun beside Luan Ge: "Su Yun, this volume of the Lotus Sutra has been copied from the main palace, so you can take it down and put it together with the previous scriptures." ”

"Yes. Aunt Yun stepped forward and carefully took the scripture to avoid touching the undried new ink, closed the door of the temple and withdrew.

Seeing that there was no one around, the concubine glanced at Luan Ge, but she didn't speak, but Shi Shiran walked towards the small pavilion where she was sitting on the side. Luan Ge understood, shrugged his shoulders and followed.

The Lotus Sutra is the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni in his later years, which belongs to the harmony teachings of the power and the truth, which are the same in size, and the density is harmonious, showing that everyone can become a Buddha. It has always been admired by the followers of the Heartland Method, and its special features are threefold:

The first is to have flowers and fruits at the same time, the second is to get out of the mud without staining, and the third is to be restrained and not exposed.

Judging from the three Buddha statues just now, what the concubine believes in is undoubtedly the method of the heart. This courtyard is full of secluded green bamboo, more than ten years of devotion to the Buddha let you respond to this unstained dust, than that wonderful lotus is out of the mud and not stained; 12 years of Taoguang cultivation obscurity, quiet and inaction, that introverted and not revealed; that flowers and fruits at the same time, is not the bamboo blossoming flourishing and declining?

The truth is all ugly, right?

Whatever the facts, I will uncover this mask.

"Mother is fine. In the small pavilion, Luan Ge bent his knees slightly, and bowed down to the concubine who was already sitting on the soft couch.

"Don't call me that. The person on the couch drank tea lightly and spoke indifferently.

"Mother is resentful of Luan Ge, hasn't she been filial to you in the past few years?" Luan Ge asked in a low voice, but did not look up.

"I think you'll know better than I do. The concubine was not annoyed, and smiled indifferently: "I haven't told you all these years, but it doesn't mean that I don't know anything." I may not know who you are, but I do know that you are not. ”

"Mother is really strange, who am I and who am not? Everyone knows that I am your daughter, is there anything wrong with this?" Luan Geqi said, but his heart trembled.

"Let's sit and talk," the concubine glanced at her and pointed to the soft couch beside the small table, "Don't you feel uncomfortable squatting, good daughter?"

"Thank you, Princess. "I don't know what she wants to do, but it's uncomfortable to be half-squatting.

Luan Ge took a few steps forward and sat on the other side of the soft couch across a small table.

"If you don't admit it," the concubine opened a teacup and filled Luan Ge with tea, the crystal clear tea exuded a refreshing fragrance, Luan Ge was about to sigh that the tea was very good, but heard her next jaw-dropping sentence:

"But I know you're not my daughter. Because, my daughter is already dead. Twelve years ago, he was dead. ”
