After more than an hour of bumps, I finally arrived at Puning Temple. Although it is a cold winter, when it comes to the opening day www.biquge.info of Puning Temple, there are still many people who come to pray for blessings and wishes, and people come and go in the front hall and back hall in an endless stream.

Jiang Li was served by Mama Zhou and put on her hat, got off the carriage, and urged Mama Zhou to hurry up to find a Zen master, and she took the maid and the maid to pay homage in the front hall and back hall. Puning Temple is a big temple in the capital in the end, the main hall of the front and back of the side hall ** enshrines dozens of Buddhas, after worshipping a circle down has been more than half an hour.

When I got up early in the morning, I was bumpy all the way, and after this tossing, Jiang Li was also a little tired. went to the pre-agreed partial pavilion, rested, and waited for Mama Zhou's news. As soon as I drank a cup of hot tea and used two pieces of dim sum, Mama Zhou came back.

A smile appeared on Jiang Li's face, and he asked anxiously, "How is it, did you ask?" ”

Mama Zhou bowed and said, "Don't worry, girl." Today, many people come to Zen to witness the master, so the master disappeared early. The old slave made some broken silver and asked a little monk, who happened to see a Zen master going to the back mountain. It is said that there is a pavilion in the back mountain, with a wide field of vision, and in winter, the cold wind is bone-chilling, and no one wants to go anywhere to freeze, but a Zen master is willing to go. ”

Jiang Li didn't feel tired anymore, and said happily: "Then let's go quickly." ”

Mama Zhou nodded in agreement, and became a little closer to Jiang Li in her heart.

The girl and Princess Shengping are good friends, and now that Princess Shengping has encountered such a thing, the girl should be anxious to ask for clarification. It is better to follow the affectionate and righteous master than to be unkind.

The two rough envoys led the way in front, and the group came to the place where Jiang Li and Chu Shuhuang met for the first time in the back mountain. In the past few years, Jiang Li has also been to this place, but he never thought that one day, he would be able to do something for Alin, and he would still be here.

Although it is winter, it has not snowed yet, barren mountains and mountains, withered grass and sky, and the eyes are full of barren color. From a distance, I saw a figure sitting on the back of the pavilion, with white hair and white clothes, standing still, blending in with this mountain scene.

When he got closer, he recognized that the white robe was actually a monk's robe.

Jiang Li took a few steps, stepped forward and saluted: "Believe in the girl Jiang Li, meet the master." ”

The white figure was silent for a long time, Jiang Li was puzzled, and then he heard an old man's voice say: "It's really annoying, the old man is hiding here, and he still can't avoid it." ”

Jiang Li hurriedly said: "Please forgive the master for the disturbance." The little girl is a good friend of Princess Shengping, and I have come to ask the master if the little girl can serve the Buddha for Princess Shengping. ”

The subordinates who followed were startled, and Mama Zhou couldn't help but say loudly: "Girl! Should the girl discuss this matter with her cousin? My cousin is the last thing I want you to suffer, if you go, what will be the peace in my cousin's heart? ”

Jiang Li said seriously: "Mama, my cousin will support me if he knows." Arin and I are friends, she used to take care of me, and now I can finally do something for her, and I'm very happy. ”

Although Mama Zhou felt sudden, she recognized Jiang Li's approach in her heart, and she had already persuaded Jiang Li, if Xu Shixuan really asked, she could explain it, so she stepped aside and stopped gnawing.

Master Yizen remained still, as if he had not heard anything just now.

Jiang Li's heart was overjoyed, and the master did not object, that is, there was room for feasibility.

She simply knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully and said, "The disciple has a sincere heart, please fulfill the master." Then he sat down on his knees as a monk had done.

Time flowed silently, and the soles of the feet of the people who followed were numb from the cold, and they stepped on the ground but couldn't feel the ground. Jiang Li had no intention of retreating, and the first Zen master said impatiently: "Hey, it's so difficult to find a clean place!" Then he stood up and left in three or five steps, without even looking at Jiang Li.

Mama Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Li: "Girl, it's cold on the ground, it's broken carefully, let's go back first." ”

Jiang Li followed Mama Zhou's support, and got up stiffly, "Mama, you go to the monks in the temple to ask for two sets of monk robes, and then find a courtyard near a Zen master, and we will live here." ”

Of course, Jiang Li couldn't live next to Master Yizen's courtyard, and after the monks of Puning Temple heard about it, they arranged for her to live in the guest courtyard closest to Master Yizen. After settling down, Jiang Li first bathed and changed into monk's clothes, Mama Zhou came in with a bowl of ginger syrup, and after Jiang Li used it, she said, "Girl, my cousin is here." ”

Jiang Li walked out of the city gate with his front foot, and everyone knew about his back foot.

When Xu Shixuan heard the news, he had just had breakfast, and he simply dealt with the matter and followed. When he arrived, he saw Jiang Li kneeling behind Master Yizen to express his determination.

"Where?"

"In the guest hall."

Jiang Li came to the guest hall wearing monk's robes, and the brother and sister were very calm.

Xu Shixuan said: "Three years is not too long. It's just that have you ever thought that in three years you will be eighteen or nineteen years old, and how will you get married then? ”

There was no discipline, no persuasion, but asked a very practical question, Jiang Li suppressed the emotions in his heart and said, "Cousin, thank you for understanding me." Then he repeated his original words: "Cousin, I don't want to marry at all." I have followed my mother since I was a child, and I have suffered all the suffering of my mother, I don't want to get married, I just want to live my own pure life. ”

Xu Shixuan looked at Jiang Li in surprise, a little speechless.

"No, with me, no one dares to bully you." Xu Shixuan assured.

Jiang Li said seriously and persistently: "Cousin, I don't need others to dare, and I don't have time to perfunctory other people's hypocrisy, I just want to live my own life." ”

It was the result of her careful consideration, and it could not be changed in a few words, Xu Shixuan no longer persuaded more, and asked instead: "Do you want to stay here?" ”

Jiang Li nodded, and asked again, "Is it only three years?" She thought it was forever, but she just felt her cousin's concern for her, so she didn't bother to ask.

Xu Shixuan was surprised again: "What else do you want?" ”

Jiang Li was amused by Xu Shixuan's appearance, "It's not good, three years is three years, and I will go back in three years." ”

"Okay, if Master Yizen can agree, I won't stop you, you remember to go back in three years."

After Xu Shixuan left, Jiang Li called all the people around her in, if you are willing to stay in the temple with her, you must come according to the rules of the monks, the ancient Buddha of the green light, and do it yourself. If you want to go back, you can do it, but you also need someone to take care of your family.

The mother-in-law had a home to take care of, and in the end, only two little girls were left to accompany her. But everyone was reluctant to go back, and they had to wait until the first Zen master agreed. Jiang Li had no choice but to rearrange a place for them to live, while she and the two girls settled down in full compliance with the school's rest. (To be continued.) )
