What everyone chooses is not an auspicious day for pilgrimage and incense, so there is no crowd in Jiming Temple, but there is still an endless stream of tourists who come to offer incense. Even some people in the bazaar heard that Wu Guogong was going to Jiming Temple, and they secretly followed, out of awe of Zhu Yuanzhang, they didn't dare to follow too closely, and they were far behind.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask people to disperse the people, he was originally traveling in micro-clothes, although he was stirred up by a group of ruffians and hooligans, he was just angry alone, and he didn't want to alarm others with great fanfare.

Ma Xiuying saw that his face was pale, and knew that he was still angry, so she changed the topic and asked, "Do you know the origin of this Jiming Temple?"

Xun Ying picked up the topic with a very good eye, "What is the origin?" Madame should tell the slave and maid about it. ”

Ma Xiuying gestured to Jilong Mountain, "I heard that a long time ago, there was a centipede essence on this mountain that specifically harmed the people, and after the gods knew about it, they sent the golden rooster of heaven to deal with the centipede essence." The golden rooster hides in the temple, and the centipede spirit appears immediately to crow, the centipede spirit is frightened, the golden rooster is afraid that it will escape, and opens its wings into a cage to trap it, and then people call this mountain Jilong Mountain, and the temple on the mountain is called Jiming Temple. ”

Guo Hui was once frightened by the "bat ghost" made by Xun Ying, and when he heard the ghost, he was afraid, and pointed to a tree-lined path stepped by pilgrims and shuddered: "Will the centipede spirit come out of there?"

Ma Xiuying never thought that her story would scare her enough, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the centipede essence has already been eaten by the golden rooster." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang disdainfully, "How can there be any centipede essence and golden rooster, it is clear that the monk here secretly raises chickens to satisfy his hunger, and when he is heard by the rooster, he is afraid of being accused of making up this story." ”

Guo Ninglian covered her mouth and smiled: "Did the master secretly raise chickens to satisfy his hunger when he was a monk in Huangjue Temple before?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, thinking of the old days, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "We are not as rich as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not to mention raising chickens, it would be good to be able to eat enough, and then the temple ran out of food, so I had to go out to travel." ”

Ma Xiuying joked solemnly: "Sister Ning Lian, the master is a wandering monk who has formed a fate with your family." If the master had chicken to eat at that time, he wouldn't go out to Yunyou, who would have thought that Yunyou would be able to marry a lady and come back. ”

"Haha!" made everyone laugh and diluted the melancholy in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Guo Ninglian's face was so red with shame that she glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang affectionately, and urged: "Hurry up, go quickly, don't miss the time to incense." ”

Everyone laughed and walked up the mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly recovered his good mood and began to talk and laugh with everyone.

Ma Xiuying secretly put her mind at ease, handed Zhu Biao over, and advised: "I'll accompany them to incense in a while, if you are impatient, go around the temple with Yuan Xing." Keep away from the incense candles, the sign is too small, don't let him be smoked. ”

"You women are so troublesome!" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered while gently taking Zhu Biao. makes Ma Xiuying jealous, his wife and son are not treated at all.

Walking slowly up the stone steps, a yellow-walled temple stands in front of you. On the vermilion temple gate, the three gilded characters of "Jiming Temple" shine brightly, through the open temple gate, you can see the pavilions inside, the palace is brilliant, the floating picture towers in the air, and the incense is swirling.

The women cheered, and then ran to the solemn Buddha statue to kneel and bow, and their own guards stepped forward to donate incense money.

This is a lot of money, and even the host was alarmed, and when the host saw that they were here to ask for a son, he smiled and invited them to draw lots for divination.

Guo Ninglian and Guo Hui both rushed to draw the slip first, and the two glared at each other, and neither of them backed down. Guo Ninglian was fast, knocked down the sticker, picked up a sticker from the ground and asked the host to explain.

This is a "Jade Lotus Club Ten Friends" lot, the poem says: The thousand-year-old mirror is reunited, and the woman asks the husband and the man to remarry.

The host read the signing document, opened his mouth and said: "Wang Shipeng went to Beijing to take the exam, Sun Ruquan forced his wife Qian Yulian to remarry, Yulian committed suicide by throwing herself into the river and was rescued, and after ten friends, she refused to marry the prime minister's daughter as his wife. This hexagram is a string of mirrors to reunite, everything is expensive, and it is a sign. The donor asks for a child, but the process is more difficult. ”

Guo Ninglian's maid Xiaoru immediately said in surprise: "Madam, madam, this hexagram is really accurate, you and the master are not reunited." ”

Guo Ninglian pursed her lips, "It's all been a hard time, or sign the lot, when will I have a child?" She has become Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, so naturally she doesn't care about whether she is reunited or not, and now she just wants to conceive a child as soon as possible.

The host persuaded unhurriedly: "As the saying goes, keep the clouds open and see the moon, and the donor will wait patiently, and you will definitely get what you want." ”

Ma Xiuying shook her head secretly, Guo Ninglian is only sixteen or seventeen years old, her body is still developing, and having a child too early will actually cause damage to her body, she hopes that as the host said, Guo Ninglian's child will be born later, which is good for the child and Guo Ninglian.

"Tell me what this stick means?" Guo Hui interrupted the host's words and shoved a slip through, behaving very domineeringly.

This is a "fire company camp" sign, the poem says: Hold the salary to fight the fire, burn all over the 3,000 will be restored; if you ask Ronghua and go in and out, it is better to clean up the waste.

The host had a warm attitude, but the words he said seemed to be revenge for Guo Hui's rudeness, "Liu Bei led the army to attack Wu for revenge, and the Shu army set up camp in the mountains and forests to escape the summer heat, Lu Xun saw the opportunity and ordered the soldiers to set fire to the storm, and the fire quickly spread in the camps, and the Shu army was in chaos, and more than 40 battalions were broken by the Wu army. This hexagram is a sign of holding a salary to fight fires, and everything is also self-guarding, and it is a sign. Persuade the donor to go with the flow, even if there are thousands of plans, once provoked, it is better not to move, for fear of causing trouble. ”

Guo Hui was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about, why is she signed, mine is signed, I want to draw another one." ”

"Amitabha, the donor should know that it is too late. The host closed his eyes and no longer talked to Guo Hui, this is the usual method of monks, not beating or scolding, and directly ignoring it, which is actually more embarrassing than arguing.

Guo Hui was still noisy, Ma Xiuying frowned and said: "This is the place where Buddhism cultivates, don't make a noise, let everyone draw lots, let's go to find the master." ”

Da Zhang's was also under house arrest in Guo's mansion, and Guo Hui didn't dare to provoke Ma Xiuying, so he retreated.

Ma Xiuying apologized to the host for her "bald donkey".

The host said that it was okay, and his expression gradually eased.

Ma Xiuying saw Li Qi'er staring at the lottery holder, so she asked her to draw a lottery too.

Li Qi'er picked up the sticker, loaded the stick, prayed sincerely, shook it for a moment, and dropped a stick, she picked it up and wiped it clean, and respectfully handed it to the host.

This is a "Fei Du also bring" sign, the poem says: The pine and cypress in the forest are thriving, and the rain, snow, wind and frost are always indispensable;

Ma Xiuying knows this allusion, it is about the story of Pei Du, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, who was young and picked up treasures to save others and save himself, and then went to Beijing to take the high school championship.

The host said with a smile: "Amitabha, this hexagram is the image of the pine and cypress forest, everything is noble, and it is also a sign, the donor will definitely give birth to a boy in the future, but this boy was born late." Donor, remember, despite all the hardships in between, your child will be a noble man in the future, and his future is limitless!"

These words suddenly made Li Qi'er happy and worried, who doesn't want their child to have a future, but she has lost a child, this child is still far away, when will she wait?

Guo Hui was jealous and muttered: "What can a concubine's child do!" She didn't want to think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a prince of the country, and his child would not worry about development even if he was a concubine.

Li Qi'er's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head.

This Guo Hui is really getting more and more excessive, it is not good to reprimand her in public in the temple, Ma Xiuying held back her dissatisfaction, and was about to tell everyone to leave, Guo Ninglian shouted: "Sister, you haven't smoked yet, you can also draw one to see your luck." “

Ma Xiuying chuckled and shook her head, she already has a child, why ask for more. Guo Ninglian and Xun Ying both came to persuade her, so she took the lottery holder and shook out a stick.

Xun Ying immediately picked it up and handed it to the host.

This is a "Zhongli Chengdao" sign, the poem says: open the world to make a good fate, auspicious days and good times all things;

The host's pupils shrank, and Ma Xiuying's eyes were a little strange, and his tone was more respectful, "Han Zhongli was robbed by jealousy, lost in the valley, met a monk, introduced Zhongnan Mountain to see Emperor Donghua, devoted himself to cultivation, learned the secret of immortality and became an immortal, and was known as Emperor Zhengyang." This is the image of Pangu opening the heavens and the earth, everything is auspicious, and it is a heavenly king's sign. As the signature says, the person who can be instructed by the Buddha to sign for this is not trivial, and the person's moral character is commendable, and there is a destiny that everything will go smoothly. If the donor asks for a son, God will answer it, and God will give you a son. ”

These signs are all a little accurate, Ma Xiuying is secretly frightened, could it be that the divination is really magical?

Before she could speak, Xun Ying showed off with her eyebrows fluttering: "Exactly, my wife has just given birth to a child." ”

I don't know if it was to please Ma Xiuying, or if it was true, the host actually said: "This son has the life of a prince, and it will be unspeakably expensive in the future." ”

Everyone was shocked and congratulated Ma Xiuying.

Only Guo Hui secretly said that the host was a sycophant, and seeing that Ma Xiuying had the highest status, he picked up obedient whiskers and patted horses. Of course, this time she didn't dare to say it, only muttered and cursed in her heart.

is so obedient that everyone likes it, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but smile, and ordered the guards to add some incense money to the temple.

The host got a lot of incense money repeatedly, and saw that there were many women, and their identities were not like ordinary women, and Ma Xiuying was able to draw the Heavenly King's lot, and her luck was extraordinary, so she politely invited everyone to taste the fasting in the temple.

Several women were resting in the meditation room, talking about the scriptures and discussing the Buddha with the host, when suddenly a small novice ran in and gasped: "Host, it's not good, someone is making trouble in the temple." ”

"Donors use it slowly, and the old man will come when he goes. The host hurriedly retired and left.

Ma Xiuying thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was wandering around the temple, and if he met someone who made trouble, what would it be good to make this king of heaven angry again, so he hurriedly followed the host.
