Chapter 43 43 Pray for blessings, kneel three times and bow nine times to go up the mountain

Filial piety?

What is filial piety?

When my father is seriously ill, is it called filial piety to take care of him before my father's bedside? Or is it filial piety to eat fasting and pray for the blessing of the Buddha?

For Ji Yunkai, it must be the former that is called filial piety, but for most people, the latter is great filial piety. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the daughter who was accused of unfilial piety by the Ji family, she now goes to do what the world thinks is filial piety.

After coming down from Youyin Temple, Ji Yunkai did not enter the city, but went to the largest royal temple outside the city.

Today happens to be the first day of the new year, as the temple with the most incense of the Apocalypse, the traffic outside the temple is busy, people come and go, not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials and nobles are also endless.

At this time, Ji Yunkai took the carriage of Yanbei Wangfu and came to the foot of the royal temple.

As soon as the carriage of Yanbei Wangfu appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, and some official wives and young ladies even stopped when they heard that it was the carriage of Yanbei Wangfu, and poked their heads out to see the excitement.

There are also some girls who can't poke their heads out, so they muttered in the carriage: "The carriage of the Yanbei Palace? I heard that their princess is missing, it can't be the king of Yanbei sitting here, right? Isn't the king of Yanbei not riding in the carriage?"

"The carriage of the Yanbei Palace? Who is this? Appearing here at this time, isn't it here to offer incense?"

"I haven't heard that the people of Yanbei Wangfu believe in Buddhism, why did they suddenly come to incense. ”

……

Ji Yunkai got into the carriage in this situation, barefoot, dressed in plain clothes, without powder, his long hair was tied by a hairband of the same color, hanging obediently behind him, swaying gently with her steps.

Ji Yunkai has lost a lot, and the five views are more prominent, taking advantage of the fact that a pair of eyes are bigger, the plain white and elegant clothes are a little big on her, and they are empty......

This kind of Ji Yunkai is less dazzling than usual, full of brilliance, and the whole person is calm, like an innocent girl who has not been stained by the world, clean and simple, and like a cultivator who has seen through the red dust, his eyes are indifferent.

Xu is the reason for the emaciation, Ji Yunkai's lips are not bloody, and his face is not as red and tender as before, some ladies have seen her at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, dazzling, glamorous, and overwhelmed by the crowd, at first glance saw her clear appearance, without being startled: "King Yanbei, why did she lose weight like this?"

"This ...... It looks like a serious illness. People who knew Ji Yunkai were taken aback by her current appearance, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

But only among the officials and nobles, ordinary people don't know Ji Yunkai, and they are here to make incense, how can they have time to discuss the affairs of the nobles, so they silently walked aside after a glance and continued to rush to the mountain.

After Ji Yun got out of the carriage, his eyes looked straight ahead calmly, and he didn't make any moves because of the discussions of others.

After taking three steps forward, Ji Yunkai knelt down, kowtowed, then got up and continued to walk forward......

Three steps and one kowtow, Ji Yunkai did it pious and sincere, without a trace of perfunctory, and would kneel down every three steps.

"What is this?" Seeing this, many noble ladies immediately got out of the carriage and stepped forward to inquire.

The subordinates of Yanbei Wangfu heard someone ask, so they replied: "Our princess is praying for the lord, hoping that the lord can recover soon." ”

It doesn't have to be that way to pray for blessings. Someone whispered.

The subordinates of Yanbei Wangfu were not angry, but said: "Abbot Huiqing said that sincerity can be spiritual." ”

"Abbot of Huiqing?" This unfamiliar title made the asking lady puzzled for a while, in their memory, there was no law in the capital that was the abbot of Huiqing, and they opened their mouths to ask, but the people from Yanbei Wangfu did not answer, but silently followed Ji Yunkai's side, silently protecting her.

Those ordinary people who had no intention of joining in the fun, when they saw someone kneeling down the mountain and kowtowing three times, they couldn't help but be curious: "Which girl is this? No one has been so religious for many years." ”

It is easier said than done, and it is thousands of steps to walk from the foot of the mountain to the temple, and people without great perseverance can not do it.

"It's Princess Yanbei, who said that she came to pray for her father and ask the Buddha to bless her father. The one who had just heard the ear began to talk to the people around him.

"Princess Yanbei? Didn't you say that Princess Yanbei was not filial? Her biological father didn't even look at her when she was sick, so why was she outside the temple, kneeling and knocking three times? Isn't she pretending?"

"Who knows...... I heard that Princess Yanbei went out of the city a few days ago, who knows what she did. ”

"No matter, let's go to our incense, who knows about this matter of dignitaries. ”

"Let's go...... It's almost up the mountain, it's too late to go, and the abbot can't invite the peace charm that has opened the light. ”

……

There are those who like to join in the fun, and naturally there are those who don't, but there are only a few people in the latter, and most of them still gather around Ji Yunkai, pointing at her, saying that she is filial, and those who say that she is good, and even because the discussion is too loud, the people on the mountain and under the mountain know about it.

"Do you know? Princess Yanbei was at the bottom of the mountain, kneeling down the mountain three times and bowing down the mountain, asking the Buddha to bless her father. ”

"Quick, quick, go and see...... Princess Yanbei knelt three times and bowed, asking the Buddha to bless her father. ”

For many years, no one knelt down and kowtowed to the mountain to petition the believers, which caused heated discussions among everyone for a while, and also attracted more onlookers, who ignored these Ji Yunkai, only knelt silently, kowtowed, and then moved forward silently, and every move was serene and calm.

The people around her were also gradually affected, and no longer spoke, but followed her silently......

The mountain road is steep, and there are small stones everywhere, not to mention kneeling and knocking, even if you usually walk up, those official ladies also have to gasp, Ji Yunkai knelt in three steps with his bare legs, and soon his feet, forehead and knees were oozing blood.

"Didn't someone say that Yanbei Wangfu was pretending? If someone could pretend to do this, I would admit it. Some ladies saw that Ji Yunkai couldn't say anything all the way, and only knelt down silently, and their hearts suddenly softened.

Those old ladies, looking at Ji Yunkai's little girl, with blood on their faces, were even more distressed: "Princess Yanbei is such a beautiful person, but she doesn't care about her appearance, let the stone break her forehead, if you want to say that she is pretending...... You'll show me one?"

"Such a good-looking girl, but she broke her head, and if she continues to kowtow like this, she will definitely have a scar in the future, so she is pretending, and the price is too great. ”

……

A good-looking person has preferential treatment, and seeing a beauty who doesn't care about her appearance and goes up the mountain on three knees and one knock, even if she is still in doubt, this will be dispelled.

Most of the people who come to offer incense are women. Everyone is a woman, and they all know the importance of appearance, no matter how much they use it, they will not joke about their appearance, let alone Princess Yanbei is so beautiful.

Beauty is a woman's weapon, ruining beauty is equivalent to destroying one's biggest weapon, Princess Yanbei doesn't care about her appearance, she bows down all the way, if she wants to say that she is not sincere, they don't believe it......
