Chapter 80: Offering Lights

There is an ever-bright lighthouse in the temple, and the inside is dedicated to the Tantuo Dizang, which is dedicated to the suffering of all sentient beings. The old lady is here for the old marquis to offer a twelve taels of Hualian treasure lamp, in addition to the lamp oil money every year, but also donate three hundred taels of silver, every day there are monks chanting in front of the lamp, praying for an early Xian Dengjue shore.

The fourth lady, Xie Shi, also offered a lamp to Qin Zhiran. When she donated money to Zhike, Mrs. Mei added some.

Xie bowed his head to her lightly and thanked her with a smile.

The old lady said to Jin Yi: "You can also go and order a lamp for your mother, let the master take you to serve, and add some oil money every year in the future, which can be regarded as your filial piety." ”

Jiang has been dead for so many years, except for the annual family worship, almost no one thinks of offering lamps to her in the temple.

Jin Yi was a little sad in her heart, nodded, and a good guest came to take her to the lighthouse.

The Changming lighthouse is seven storeys high, stands in a higher position behind the temple, and the top of the tower is like towering in the middle of the mountain. On the first floor, the golden body of Tantuo Jizo was enshrined, and Jin Yi knelt under it, praying for her in her heart to bless her mother from the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and silently prayed for her relatives.

Zhike came to ask how many lamps to serve, Jin Yi asked carefully, and chose eight taels.

Qian Mo took out three silver tickets of one hundred taels, Zhike took it with both hands, and led the people up to the fifth floor, respectfully offered an oil lamp with a white lotus jade base on the incense case, poured the lamp oil, and Jin Yi personally lit the wick.

The acquaintance asked, "What scripture does the donor want to recite?" Seeing that Jinyi didn't understand clearly, he said: "If it is given to peers, the "Amitabha Sutra" is generally acceptable, and if it is given to the elders, it is "Amitayus Sutra" is better. ”

Jin Yi said that with the "Sutra of Amitayus", Zhike offered a palm-sized Buddha picture in front of the lamp. The pale yellow woven gold embroidery picture, one side is embroidered with small characters "Buddha said immeasurable, pure and equal enlightenment scriptures".

Jin Yi bowed to the lamp again, and called Qiao Wei to come and let her worship too.

Qiao Wei's eyes were slightly red, and she knelt in front of the lamp and prayed in her heart.

This is considered to be completed, and in the future, you can come to the temple every year to donate oil money and chant money.

Jin Yi asked where the lamps of the elders in the Hakka family were, and also went to pray for blessings.

Zhike took them up to another floor, and the lamp of the old Qingronghou was provided here, and the fourth uncle Qin Zhiran was also on this floor, but the oil lamp was smaller.

Jin Yi bowed one by one, and when he got up in front of Qin Zhiran's lamp, he unintentionally caught a glimpse of the Buddha picture offered in front of the lamp, so he stepped forward and gently smoothed it with his hand.

I found that under the Buddha map of the "Amitabha Sutra", there seemed to be another one, and I didn't feel a little curious, but when I picked it up, it was a royal blue one, and the small characters on the side read "Occupy the good and evil karma sutra".

Jin Yi didn't know, so he asked the guest.

Master Zhike looked at it and said, "Oh, this is another recitation of the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra". ”

"Why do you want to recite this sutra?"

Master Zhike thought about it, and then recited the Buddha's name, saying, "Jizo Bodhisattva wants to make all sentient beings know that it is retribution, be vigilant, and turn evil to good. This sutra is for those who are overly moved by their hearts and have unfulfilled grievances. ”

Jin Yi's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "What is a person who has unfinished grievances?" ”

"Amitabha Buddha is the one who died in vain."

Jin Yi took Qiao Wei and Qian Mo back to the meditation room and had a meal with everyone.

The old lady wanted to take a nap in the temple and then come back, and some of the people also rested in the meditation room, and some wandered around the temple.

Jin Yi asked Jin Ru to take Jin Chen to the fish pond in front to feed the koi, walked to Xie's side, and said softly: "Fourth uncle, can you take me to the temple to have a look?" ”

Xie Shi smiled when he heard this, and came out with her, "When Chen'er was not sick in the first two years, I came to this temple every month to offer incense, and by the way, I went to see your fourth uncle's everlasting lamp. I haven't been out in the past two years, have you just been to see your fourth uncle's lamp? ”

Jin Yi's face was calm, staring at her and nodding slightly, "I've been there, and my grandfather's." I just recited the Sutra of Amitayus to my mother, I don't know much about Buddhist rituals, I don't know what to offer? ”

There was a melancholy look on Xie's face.

She had a delicate face, born gentle and graceful, only twenty-three years old, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of sorrow, because she often frowned, there were shallow vertical lines in the center of her eyebrows.

When she was at home, she always took Jinchen with her, even if she was taken care of by Mama Hu, she never let him leave her sight.

After Jinchen's illness was cured, the smile on her face was much more than before, and she became more cheerful, and sometimes she would take Jinchen to Fujinxuan to sit down and tell some interesting things about Jinchen. For her, all the beauty and expectations are closely linked to her son.

She stood on the steps and looked down at Jinchen, who was feeding the fish with Jinru. Mama Hu seemed to be afraid that he would fall into the water, so she hooked his belt with her fingers and looked vigilant.

Xie Shi came back to his senses and smiled at Jin Yi as if he was a little embarrassed, "Recite it to the second sister-in-law, just use the Amitayus Sutra." ”

Jin Yi nodded and said calmly: "Fourth uncle, I don't know what it means to recite the Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra?" ”

Xie's face turned pale, his lips seemed to have faded with blood, and there was panic in his eyes when he looked at Jinyi.

Originally, the blue Buddha picture was collected by himself, and when he went to the temple every month, he invited monks to recite it. Later, after Jinchen fell ill, he didn't have time to come to Puji Temple, so he put it under the ever-bright lamp. originally thought that he would go up and get it back later, but who knew that Jinyi had already seen it.

She has never told others about reciting the "Ben Yuan Sutra", even the two maids and Mama Hu who are close to her don't know.

She had always been suspicious of her husband's death, but she was never sure. Originally, when Jin Yi treated Jin Chen, he wanted to tell her what he doubted in his heart.

It's still not appropriate to think about it. Xie Shi is not unable to see the attitude of Xu and Jinxiu towards Jinyi, she grew up in Shangxiutang since she was a child, and now she is cautious when she comes back, otherwise she would not have let herself hide her medical knowledge from the beginning.

Jin Yi looked at her quietly, "Fourth uncle, if you have anything to worry about, you can sue me." ”

Xie hesitated again and again, and every time he opened his mouth, it was difficult to speak. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll think about it later, and I'll come back to you in two days." ”

Jin Yi was not reluctant, and smiled gently, "Okay." When does the fourth uncle and aunt want to say, tell me again. ”

Xie went down to look for Jinchen, Jinyi turned around, looked at the curling green smoke in the middle of the mountain, and frowned.

The thunder vine beads on Qin Zhili's wrist, Du Heng in Jinchen medicine, and the Buddha picture of the "Ben Yuan Sutra" in front of the fourth uncle's lamp. Jin Yi sighed softly, originally thinking that after returning to Jianye, she only needed to find out the cause of Jiang's death, avenge her mother's revenge and fulfill her long-cherished wish, what she had learned in the past few years, it was not difficult to do this.

But now I found that there seemed to be a layer of shadow, enveloping the entire Qin Mansion, making people unable to see clearly and feeling creepy.
