Chapter 42 The Origin of Ganxiao Temple
Although everyone pretended that nothing had happened, the fact that the third lady gave birth to a son after Xue Ying left the house still left a mark in everyone's hearts, especially Zhen's mother, who was listless for several days. Aunt Shunzi, who wrote "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was afraid that she would get sick, so she asked Aunt He'an to invite a doctor to see her.
Because of this incident, the yard was a little dull for several days.
There was a jujube tree outside the study, and a branch grew obliquely about two feet above the ground, and the slope was just right for people to lie down and bask in the sun.
It was the master's day off, so Xue Ying climbed up and basked in the sun while reading a book. Dong Xun prepared tea and practiced calligraphy on the newly built stone table under the tree - in Xue Ying and Qiaoya's "tune." Under the teaching, she has become more and more calm about the shocking actions of these two people.
After Qiaoya finished the morning class, before she had time to wipe off the sweat on her head, she ran to Xue Ying with a red face.
"Miss, I found out a big news today!"
"Hmm. Xue Ying replied calmly and turned the next page.
Dong Xun saw Qiaoya's panting appearance and silently poured her a glass of water.
Qiaoya took it very easily and drank it, and wiped it with her hand: "It's about Ganxiao Temple." ”
Xue Ying's heart was shocked, she stopped what she was doing, and looked at Qiaoya: "What did you hear?"
"I heard that Ganxiao Temple was not called Ganxiao Temple before, and later there was a filial son in order to ask for peace for his mother, and he led the practice in the temple for ten years, which touched the Buddha and restored his seriously ill mother. After his deeds spread, people followed suit, and asked for peace charms for their parents and relatives in the way of practicing in the temple, "the Buddha also felt his filial piety", so it was renamed the temple of filial piety. Later, there were also people who prayed for their friends, and it was said that if their hearts were sincere enough, their wishes would be fulfilled."
Xue Ying was still digesting this story, and Dong Xun asked strangely: "Who did you listen to these words?"
Qiaoya flicked her pigtails, a little proud: "Mr. Storyteller said it." ”
"Where is the storyteller?" asked Xue Ying.
The storyteller sent his niece up the mountain to ask for a talisman, but the Ganxiao Temple now has a rule that only female dependents are accepted, and the person who asks for the talisman must go up the mountain alone and no one is allowed to accompany him, so he stopped when he sent his niece to Moon Lake. Zhao Zhuangtou and they sent wine back, and they happened to meet, so they invited him to live in our Zhuangzi for one night, and by the way, they told the big guy to relieve their boredom. ”
Xue Ying pondered for a while and said, "Qiaoya, or you can listen to more books in the future." "After studying for so long, I couldn't accept those written expressions, and only after hearing that Mr. Storyteller said it for a while, I began to write crepe, it's not easy!
"Miss!" Qiao stomped her foot, "Didn't you always want to know about the Ganxiao Temple?
"Reaction...... Xue Ying slowly cast her gaze back to the book, "Let me think about it." ”
In this way, the last time Aunt He'an "disappeared" after asking for a peace charm for her, she actually went to Ganxiao Temple to lead the practice?
It's really hard for her, for a young lady who is not too close, let alone powerful, she went to the mountain temple to practice penance in the cold winter - this kindness, she can't repay it.
However, this Ganxiao Temple is also a little strange, Buddhism talks about the equality of all beings, talking about Pudu, but it requires people to exchange the price of cultivation for the safety of relatives or friends, and what is even more strange is that the people here actually accept such values.
Or, after all, this is another world, and people's thoughts and customs are different from the world she used to live in.
Qiaoya saw that Xue Ying was starting to be in a daze, so she had to talk to Dong Xun: "I heard that the incense in the Ganxiao Temple was originally extremely vigorous, but the rules established later became more and more strict, and basically did not receive foreign guests much, so the number of Buddhas gradually decreased, and by now, young people rarely know about this place." ”
"In the land of Buddhism, it's normal to be deserted. Dong Xun said softly.
"Who said that? The Buddha can also be lively, so that the person who burns incense is happy, and the Buddha is also happy, isn't it?"
"Qiaoya. Xue Ying suddenly interrupted their chat, "Do you know what kind of rules you have to abide by when entering the Ganxiao Temple?"
Qiao Ya thought for a while: "Mr. Storyteller said that Ganxiao Temple now only accepts female disciples, and you must go up the mountain by yourself, and you have to go through the 'Ganxiao Road', ten steps and one bow or something." In the end, it depends on whether the master in the temple is willing to take you in. Now the rules in the temple are very strict, and it is not necessary to accept a single outer disciple in three or five years--Hey, miss, didn't my master ask for a peace charm for you last time? It seems that my master is really very powerful. ”
Xue Ying closed the book in her hand, rolled it up and knocked it lightly on her chest, and muttered, "I really want to go and see it." ”
"Miss, don't think about it, the people who want to go to the Ganxiao Temple to ask for peace charms can only go alone, what can you do?" Qiao Ya unceremoniously broke her illusion.
"Who knows?" Xue Ying smiled incomprehensibly, "Wait patiently, there will always be a chance." ”
This sentence was told to her by the host of the Ganxiao Temple in her previous life, and she has always believed in it.
More than a month later, the Hou Mansion of An'an was built.
The weather has slowly entered the hot summer, and the sound of cicadas outside the house is very lively, but in this oppressive room, there is a sense of loneliness in the cold winter for no reason.
"Are the kids okay today?" a hoarse voice sounded. The one who spoke was a young woman lying on the bed, with a sallow complexion and blue lips, and she knew at a glance that she was not lightly ill, but Rao was so, and a face with excellent posture could still make people amazing, this person was Liao Yunxi, the third lady of Jian'an Hou Mansion.
Aunt Qing bowed down and replied: "It's all good, the second lady was praised again in the study, saying that the pair actually won a few cousins, and the poems she made were even more brilliant, and even Master Li, who was the best at making poems, sighed to herself." The young master didn't cry, he got up in the morning and drank milk, laughed for a while and fell asleep. ”
Liao Yunxi slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Then I'll rest assured." Sigh, "It's a pity that I'm a mother...... Can't take care of them, I'm sorry for them. ”
"Third lady. Another maid, An Yue, spoke a little anxiously, "Relax, you will definitely get better, the second lady and the little master are still waiting for you." ”
"I also hope that I can get better, but I have been getting more and more powerless recently...... Liao Yunxi closed his eyes lightly, "Do you say that because I did something wrong, you will punish me this day?"
"Third Madam," Aunt Qing held back tears, her voice trembling slightly, "You'll be fine, you'll definitely be fine." ”
"Don't say these stupid words," Liao Yunxi sighed slightly in his tone, "These comforting words are useless at all." ”
"Third lady," An Yue knelt beside the bed, "You have always been the kind of person who doesn't like to admit defeat, this time, please don't give up." Uncle has gone to find a famous doctor for you, and he will definitely find a way to save you. ”
"Alas," Speaking of this, Liao Yunxi couldn't help but sigh even more, "Why don't you accompany me more with this kung fu, he doesn't like this the most." ”
Aunt Qing lowered her head and whispered, "Uncle is afraid, if he is next to you, you will have the opportunity to say something to explain and leave alone." He didn't want to do that, and would rather go far away and let you hold on to this breath and wait for him to come back. ”
