Chapter 90: West Mountain
When I came to the main hall, Mrs. Jingxian's evening class had ended. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone had dispersed, and Ying Qi found a little nun and led herself to a side hall.
Kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva with kind eyebrows, Ying Qi didn't know what she wanted to express, but silently recited the Great Compassion Mantra.
After a long time, Ying Qi got up.
"Donor, Mrs. Shi has already passed on dinner. "Little Ni went out and came in, and had been waiting for a while.
Ying Qi nodded, "Thank you." So Xiao Ni led the way, and Ying Qi and the two followed.
The temple is naturally vegetarian, but it is also extremely elaborately prepared. In addition to vegetables, there are also some dishes made of flowers and plants, which make Ying Qi feel refreshing.
After two days of leisurely like this, on the evening of the second day, Qingshu and Qingwen came to Yingqi's room together.
"Sister, tomorrow, we want to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise. The lover spoke first. 、
Ying Qi was a little curious: "Just the two of you?"
Qingshu said with a smile: "That's why we came to invite the eldest sister and the third sister." The sunrise on the west mountain of Jingyi Garden is extremely famous, and it is said that some people have even seen the light of the Buddha shine if they have a Buddha fate. Although the mountain is a bit high, the road is very neat because it is climbed all year round. ”
"Can you really see the Buddha's light?" asked Qingzhi curiously.
Qing Yu chuckled, "Third sister, it is said that the noble ladies and ladies who have been here have seen it, but very few of them. Although we came here occasionally and climbed a few times, we didn't have the fate to see it. But this time I want to touch the blessing of the eldest sister and see if there is a chance to see the Buddha's light. ”
Ying Qi nodded, this kind of trivial matter is not good for a few sisters. "Can you get up so early in the morning?"
"Of course, eldest sister, if you want to see the Buddha's light heart, you have to be sincere, every time we get up after midnight and start freshening up. Qing said.
"Midnight!" Ying Qi was a little speechless. "Okay, then let's go tomorrow. ”
Qingwen and Qingshu both cheered, "Great." Then, eldest sister, we'll go and prepare. ”
Ying Qi nodded, and the two left like a gust of wind.
The ancients did not understand the Buddha's heart, and Ying Qi did not understand it very well.
Qingzhi was also very excited, "Sister, I'm going to prepare too." Ying Qi was even more speechless.
Ying Qi stood there and thought for a while, and said to Xue on the side: "Go and investigate the matter of Xishan." ”
"Yes. "Snow Cloud is out.
Not long after, Xueyun came back and reported to Ying Qi one by one: "Xishan is in the west of the temple, about an hour away from here. Very high, perennial clouds and mist. There is a village at the bottom of the mountain, which is very lively, I went to see it, and it felt like a small town. There is a special road on the mountain, and people come and go all year round. It is said that because of the occasional appearance of the Buddha's light, there are about ten times a year, and everyone who sees it basically fulfills what they want, so it attracts a steady stream of people who come to seek Buddha's fate. The light of the Buddha is usually seen in the morning, and the mountain road is extremely high, so it is necessary to set off the night before. ”
"Is there anyone else on the mountain?" Ying Qi frowned.
Xueyun thought for a while, "There are two roads, one is the yang side of the West Mountain, and the other is the yin side of the West Mountain. It is also said that after reaching the top of the mountain, a large crack separates into two platforms, and the Buddha's light appears in the sky from the position of the large crack. Therefore, the female and male guests are separated. ”
Ying Qi groaned a little, "If the female guest and the male guest are separated, then naturally the guards will not be able to go the same way." Only the maids all the way, isn't it safe?"
Xue Yun thought for a moment, "It should be nothing, after all, there is a lot of traffic on the road." What's more, Miss has me and Linglong by her side. ”
"I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about my sisters. In this case, you let Pearl go and invite the third aunt over and I will ask. Xueyun nodded and immediately went out.
Soon the third aunt came in. After hearing Ying Qi say this, he smiled and said, "Every time we come over, the ladies go to climb the West Mountain." It is said that the younger the child, the more he can get the Buddha's fate, and I remember one time it was quite sensational, it was the only daughter of the waiter of the criminal department, who was ten years old at the time and was seriously ill. Got the guidance of the monk, went to climb the West Mountain alone, saw the Buddha's light, and not long after he came back, the illness was cured. Therefore, adults generally do not follow the children to pray. It's all about whoever has the heart to climb it. But you can still bring the maid. So a few of our aunts have only been there once. But it's really hard to climb, it's too high. No one was interested in climbing a second time. Children only go because they are ordered by an adult or because they have a wish to be fulfilled. Those who can see the Buddha's light are naturally more pious, and those who have not seen the Buddha's light are naturally more yearning. Therefore, that road is perennially crowded with people, and the safety is still extremely safe. After all, the Buddha pays attention to harmony, and no one will quarrel over it. If the Bodhisattva gets angry, he will not be in vain. ”
The third aunt paused, "And the eldest lady is naturally a rich and noble person, maybe she can really have a Buddha fate." It's also good to see it. ”
Ying Qi laughed when she heard this. "Since my aunt said so, then I will go with my sisters tomorrow. ”
So all the people rested early that evening. By midnight, the young lady and the maids had gotten up. Each of them took four maids with them, and then headed for the west mountain. After the aunts sent them away, they all went back to sleep again.
The guards and grooms had sent them to the foot of the western mountain, and then stopped. All those who want to climb the mountain have to walk.
There don't seem to be many people today, except for Ying Qi and his party, looking around one by one, there are only four or five peasant children and three or two small jade with one or two little maids.
There was a mother-in-law sitting at the entrance, and Ying Qi saw that the first few people had thrown a string of copper coins inside, and also signaled Pearl to follow and lose four strings of copper coins. It made the mother-in-law smile for a while.
"Thank you for the reward, and I wish you all the best of luck. The mother-in-law changed the posture she had been sitting in just now, and stepped forward to salute Ying Qi, who was wearing a veil.
"Accept your good words!" Ying Qi hurriedly asked Pearl to return the gift.
Everyone walked all the way, covered by big trees and green grass. Birds chirped in the trees, and the occasional rabbit could be seen, and everyone was in high spirits.
Halfway through, some people started to get tired. Although everyone changed their flat shoes, they didn't go through such a long road, half of the maids couldn't afford to come, Qingzhi also looked a little tired, but Qingshu and Qingwen didn't feel tired because they had come, as for Yingqi, climbing a mountain or something, it was even more common for her.
"Eldest sister, don't you feel tired?" Qingwen looked at Ying Qi curiously.
Ying Qi was motioning for Xue Yun to help Qingzhi. Hearing Qing's question about her, she smiled and said, "It's okay." You know I used to grow up in the countryside, and I used to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and stuff like that. Climb a little mountain and exercise your body. ”
Qingwen couldn't help but stick out her tongue, feeling that she shouldn't ask about the countryside.
Ying Qi looked at a few maids: "Pearl, your physical strength seems to be good." "Qingshu and Qingwu's maids are basically out of breath, but Yingqi's four maids are all calm.
Xueyun and Linglong don't say it, they are all people who practice martial arts, naturally this bit of climbing is nothing, but Jade and Pearl were originally palace maids, and they are usually delicate, but I didn't expect that their physical strength was also very good.
"Miss, if you want to survive there, you have to have good physical strength. Otherwise, if the master asks you to kneel and hold the basin for half an hour, and you faint while holding it, you will not be directly dragged down to deal with it. Pearl replied solemnly.
"Sister Jade, what do you mean by dealing with it?" asked Qingzhi's maid malt in a low voice.
Jade glanced at her, didn't think about it, and replied directly: "It's execution." What are useless people doing alive. Malt and the other maids took a big step back in fright. For a while, all the maids looked at the jade and pearl with a little fear. It is not easy for people to be alive in that environment, and it is even more terrifying. Even Qingshu and Qingwen covered their mouths and were startled. But Yingqi's side is not shocked. It seems to be taken for granted. People like Xueyun and Linglong who are close to the dead, and they have seen it even more cruelly, where would they be afraid of this little wave in the palace, as for Yingqi, she is also slowly getting used to the cruel competition laws of this world.
Ying Qi saw that everyone was quiet, so she simply ordered: "Okay, everyone hurry up and go, it's almost dawning." Everyone was frightened by Jade's words for a while, and those who were tired were not tired, they all obeyed the arrangement and walked forward quietly and silently. For a while, the speed was much faster.
Jade secretly looked at each other with Pearl, and the maids just now were procrastinating, and the eldest lady was a little impatient, and her expression changed a few times, but the two of them still saw it in their eyes.
Finally, after another hour and a half of climbing, in a state where a group of weak young ladies and maids were about to collapse, the top of the West Mountain arrived. By this time, the morning light had already begun to appear, and the sun had begun to climb. In the summer, the sun naturally rises earlier. A little later, the sun will rise.
At this time, the maids were already supporting each other, Linglong was also instructed to help Qingshu, Jade and Pearl were to help Qingshu, and the other maids had to take care of each other. Only Ying Qi is still quite energetic.
Standing on the top of the mountain, the breeze came slowly, Ying Qi only felt the white clouds, her eyes were full of greenery, and she couldn't help but open her heart. She stretched out her hands and breathed deeply, as if she wanted to take in the greenery of the mountains. At the same time, it is exported into a poem:
In the depths of the clouds at the entrance of the cave, it lingers like smoke.
The earth is white, and the blue sky is lost at hand.
The grass dew drops into rain, and the pine wind blows into springs.
Try to climb the high pavilion and look at it, and the sunny day is full of Maekawa.
The two peasant girls and a small jasper who walked in front of her were resting on the side at this time, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at Yingqi, who had just climbed up but was still in high spirits.
And at this time, with Ying Qi's deep breath, the big crack opposite her flashed a little light, and slowly the light became brighter and brighter, at the moment when the sun rose, the light seemed to be thrown into the embrace of the sun, at that moment, the sun seemed to split out the pillar of light, and the light was rotating, spinning more and more intensely, and then turned into a big lotus flower on the top of the West Mountain. In just three seconds, the lotus flower spun out again, and finally turned into sunlight and sprinkled into the big crack.
"The light of the Buddha has appeared!" With the exclamation, all the people bowed to the ground reverently. Only Ying Qi is still standing.
"What a miracle!" Ying Qi secretly exclaimed in her heart, looking at the big crack opposite, she estimated that it was another miracle created by nature.
