Unconsciously, time passed quickly, and while thinking, the carriage stopped, and the mother-in-law outside gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and a stream of clammy and cold air poured in, and the three masters and servants in the carriage shivered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A mother-in-law leaned into her face and said to Qian Yuning: "Third lady, Puji Temple has arrived, please come down, come, the old slave will help you." As she spoke, she stretched out her hands from outside the carriage.

Qian Yuning handed the already slightly cool stove in his hand to Xiao Man on the side, stretched out his hand, and got out of the carriage with the woman's men.

After getting out of the carriage, Qian Yuning walked towards Mrs. Hou's carriage and saw that Mrs. Hou was also being helped out of the carriage by two mothers-in-law.

Outside Mrs. Hou's carriage, a bald-headed monk and a bald-headed little monk stood aside, and when they saw Mrs. Hou getting out of the car, they folded their hands and said, "Amitabha! The donor has been well? ”

Mrs. Hou Ye looked at the bald monk, folded her hands, nodded to him, and said, "Master Lao Kongjing will receive him personally!" ”

The bald-headed monk, that is, Master Kongjing, raised his hand slightly towards the stone steps and mountain road winding in front of him, and said, "Donor, please!" ”

Mrs. Hou Ye looked in the direction of Qian Yuning, and saw that she had already walked over, beckoned to her slightly, and stood in place waiting for her.

Qian Yuning quickened his pace and walked over, and Mrs. Hou pointed to the road up the mountain in front of her and said, "Let's go." took the lead and walked up, Qian Yuning wanted to help her, she waved her hand and said: "No, you can just go your own, but you can't let people support or carry it on your back, otherwise this heart will be insincere." ”

Qian Yuning took a step back, retracted her hand, squatted respectfully, and said, "Yes, mother, daughter-in-law knows." She knew that Mrs. Hou was here to worship her mother, and she had to be sincere, so she had to climb up slowly by herself, and she was still the elder of Mrs. Hou, and she was a daughter-in-law, of course, she had to accompany her.

So, the Hou Mansion and his party began to climb up the mountain, walked up the mountain road, there were a group of maids and wives on both sides of Mrs. Hou, a few in front, a few in the back, but they just couldn't help her, at the front of the crowd, there were two monks, one big and one small, the two of them ran fast, but every time they went farther, they would stop and wait for the women of the Hou Mansion of Anxin. The two monks were followed by two Hou Mansion guards, and several Hou Mansion guards were distributed at the end and on both sides of the female dependents, who were here to protect the safety of Mrs. Hou Ye and Mrs. Ning San, so they looked left and right, and they were very vigilant.

I don't know how high the Dacang Mountain where the Puji Temple is located, everyone can't climb when they crawl, Qian Yuning also feels dizzy, his feet are very sore, and then look at other people, except for a few mothers-in-law who often do crampy work on weekdays, they think that a few little maids still have some spirit, and the big girls are all panting like themselves, everyone has a red face, a look that can't straighten up the waist, crawling and crawling tired and crying bitterly.

Qian Yuning looked at Mrs. Hou Ye, and saw that her face was sweating, and the sideburns on her cheeks and ears were wet, and she also looked tired, she probably couldn't climb anymore, standing on the stone steps and gasping for breath. Meilian wanted to go up to help her, but she refused, Mrs. Hou probably felt a little hot, so she did it herself, except for the robe on her body for Meilian to hold, and began to walk again.

Qian Yuning saw Mrs. Hou walking up, and also lifted a breath of air, and followed, the stone stairs between the mountains, it doesn't seem to be far, but in fact, it is a lot of trouble to walk, after walking step after step, raise your eyes and see that there are countless steps ahead. And this stone staircase is a steep slope and slowly rising, and if you walk for a long time, you will have the illusion that you are going to fall backwards.

When I felt that my leg was about to break, Puji Temple finally arrived, a temple with red walls and golden roofs hidden in the green mountains and green waters, located on the top of Dacang Mountain. The top of the mountain is relatively flat, and when you stand on the last step of the staircase and look down the mountain, you can only see the overlapping trees and a vast field shrouded in a layer of white mist.

The great monk Kongjing saw that the Hou Mansion and his party were tired enough, and they all looked like they couldn't put on their breath, so he kindly let the bald little monk lead everyone to the meditation room in the backyard of the temple to rest.

Mrs. Hou waved her hand and said, "It's better to worship your mother and then rest!" It's been a year since I've come to worship her old man for a whole year, and I'm always hanging in my heart! You have to go to the Fengxian Hall to see it first. ”

Master Kongjing folded his hands together and said, "Amitabha! The donor has always been very filial, so let's go to the palace with the poor monk to meet Mrs. Zhuo first! ”

Mrs. Hou asked Meilian to tidy up her appearance a little, Qian Yuning and the others also sorted it out, and after a while, seeing that everything was sorted out, Mrs. Hou Ye looked at it, and said with a solemn face: "Let's go, Yu Ning will follow me into the main hall later, and the rest of the people will wait outside the main hall door, no loud noise, no laughter, you know?" ”

Everyone replied respectfully, "I know."

Master Kong Jing walked in front, and Mrs. Hou Ye followed, led by the little monk, followed by Qian Yuning, followed by the people of the Hou Mansion.

Along the way, the temple is extremely clean, occasionally hearing one or two bird chirping sounds, so that people can be slightly distracted, relax their mood, plus the mountain air is excellent, Qian Yuning felt that his irritability in recent days has eased a lot, and the whole person has become quiet.

Everyone followed Master Kongjing through the bell tower, drum tower, to the Tianwang Palace, Master Kongjing led everyone to the great statue of Maitreya Buddha, walked to the left of the shrine, the right side of the shrine put a stack of yellow paper and red and yellow incense candles, in the middle is to worship Maitreya Buddha fresh fruit and a bunch of lilies that bloom just right, I don't know where the monks found it, the fragrance also carries dewdrops, enshrined in front of the statue, adding a solemnity.

Master Kongjing walked over and picked up the wooden fish pestle that was placed on the left side of the shrine as big as a human fist and struck the wooden fish on the shrine, reciting the four proverbs of Vajra in his mouth: "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such." ”

Mrs. Hou Ye knelt in the middle of the three futons in front of the shrine, bowed down, kowtowed three times in a row, got up and knelt down again, bowed down and kowtowed three times, got up and knelt down and kowtowed three heads, with serenity in her demeanor, but if you look closely, you will still find that there is a trace of sadness in her eyes, her movements are meticulous, and she is very respectful and awe-inspiring.

Qian Yuning knelt behind Mrs. Hou and knelt down three times and kowtowed, behaving well, meticulously doing enough movements, and she was also in awe of the high Bodhisattva. Because the three futons were in front of the shrine, and Mrs. Hou knelt in the middle one, Qian Yuning naturally couldn't kneel on the left or right side of the empty one, parallel to her mother-in-law. So, I had to kneel on the ground, the floor of the hall was all paved with fine granite, in the winter, the cold soaked people, although she was already wearing a thick one, she still couldn't help but shiver. However, the Bodhisattva and Mrs. Hou were in front of her, and she was not allowed to show the slightest, she only gritted her teeth and insisted, and when she saw Mrs. Hou get up, she slowly stood up after she got up.

After worshipping the Bodhisattva, Mrs. Hou Ye instructed Mei Lian to put two gold ingots in the merit box, and Master Kong Jing stopped the gesture of knocking on the wooden fish on the side, picked up the Buddha beads in his hand, faced Mrs. Hou, put his hands together, and said in his mouth: "Amitabha!" The merit of the donor is immeasurable! Good, good, good! ”

Hou Fu and his party worshiped Maitreya Buddha and then worshiped the four heavenly kings on the left and right sides of the main hall, and then came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, worshiped the Buddha Shakyamuni Great Statue, after that, Kong Jing led everyone to the Guanyin Temple to worship the Guanyin Master, and then to the Dizang King Hall to worship the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and then, everyone went to the Arhat Palace, worshiped a group of Arhats, and finally, it was the ancestors who were enshrined in the temple to repay the grace hall.

When she arrived at the door of the Bao'en Palace, Mrs. Hou Ye took a burden handed to her by Meilian, and motioned to Qian Yuning to take the bright yellow satin cloth bag handed over by a second-class maid, and then loudly ordered everyone to kneel outside the hall, and she and Qian Yuning walked in with Master Kongjing and the little monk.
