Chapter 569: Wuyi'an
Saying goodbye to Nie's family, Linglong was still a little unhappy in her heart, her heart moved, and she called Chang'an through the curtain: "You go and inquire, this place is not far from Wuyi'an." ”
Chang'an agreed to go, and came back after a while: "Princess, go down Xiaofeng Mountain, and about ten miles to the east is Wuyi Nunnery." ”
No wonder the incense is not in full bloom, only ten miles away from the Water Moon Temple, of course, they all came to the Water Moon Temple.
"Don't go back to the palace yet, go to Wuyi'an."
Xingyu and Chang'an glanced at each other, where did the princess hear about such a small nunnery, such a hot day, all the way over, this is not enough for them to be decent.
may have guessed the thoughts of the two of them, Linglong said again: "Take down the sign of Rui Wangfu on the carriage, if someone in the nunnery asks, you only say that it is the female dependents of Hangzhou who came to the capital to protect." ”
Who let me just meet Grandma Xue, just borrow it.
When she arrived at Wuyi'an, Linglong couldn't help but sigh, this place was even smaller and more broken than she guessed.
The fire was more than ten years ago, and I heard that some good believers donated money to rebuild it, but now it seems that the silver is too little.
A small courtyard, only a few Buddhist halls, probably there is very little incense here, there is not even a nun at the entrance of the nunnery, only an old nun in a shabby dress is cleaning the courtyard.
Xingyu frowned, but Linglong smiled: "We're here to worship, not to go on a blind date." “
Speaking of this, she sneered, she was in Shuiyue Nunnery just now, wasn't it a blind date?
Bai Lu had already come to her side and whispered, "Princess, it's really deserted here, let's go back." ”
Linglong could hear a hint of fear in her tone, this girl hadn't recovered since she had been frightened by her last night.
Deserted places are always intimidating.
Linglong sighed and said to Xingyu, "How much silver did we bring?" ”
Xingyu said with a smile: "I didn't use any silver in Shuiyue Nunnery, but there are five hundred taels for this time." ”
The old nuns of Shuiyue Nunnery are very good at collecting money, and every time their princess goes, they always spend two or three hundred taels of silver.
Xingyu brought five hundred taels, thinking that it was more than enough, and I couldn't imagine that I didn't move.
Linglong was taken aback: "Do you have so much spare silver on hand?" ”
Although the silver and things in her house were controlled by the apricot rain, the use of the silver had to be approved by her. Xingyu only has more than a hundred taels at hand.
When she went out today, she had already guessed that there would be no expenses in Shuiyue Nunnery, so she didn't let Xingyu pay the silver, and Xingyu should have the spare silver in her hand.
Xingyu said with a smile: "This is what Xiao Dezi gave me before I went out, saying that it was given by the prince, let me take it, and said that those monks and nuns are the most powerful, so it is better to give more silver." ”
Xingyu said while looking at Linglong's face, the princess and the prince had an awkward quarrel, yesterday let her go to the bouldering pavilion, she didn't sleep well all night, for fear that the prince and the princess would be separated from now on, when she got the silver ticket of five hundred taels in the morning, she didn't mention how happy she was, and she had long thought about finding an opportunity to tell the princess.
Linglong's face didn't show any expression, and after a while, he muttered: "Five hundred taels is enough for something, it's really picky." ”
This is really hypocritical, you don't have any money when you go out by yourself, and five hundred taels is too little.
Linglong said to Xingyu: "You go and donate two hundred taels of incense money, let them repair the house, I see that this place is in tatters, maybe it will leak rain." ”
Xingyu promised to go to the nun, although there was a merit box there, but the princess instructed them to repair the nunnery, since they couldn't stuff the silver ticket into it, they needed to talk to them clearly.
But she searched and searched, but could not find a nun.
Helpless, she had no choice but to ask the old nun who was collecting fallen leaves with a dustpan in the corner of the wall: "May I ask where is the abbot or the temple supervisor?" ”
Only then did the old nun raise her cloudy eyes: "The poor nun is the abbot Huiqing here." ”
"What?" Xingyu was startled, this old nun sweeping the floor said that she was the abbot?
Seeing Xingyu's surprised face, the old nun shook her head expressionlessly, lowered her head and bent down to continue to collect the fallen leaves.
Xingyu quickly ran to Linglong: "Princess, let's not give alms here, the maid sees that something is wrong here, let's go quickly." ”
Bai Lu had already wanted to leave, and said at this time: "Yes, princess, let's go, or let's go back to Xiaofeng Mountain, there are a lot of small toys sold there, didn't you still feel sorry for the broken eggshell last time?" Let's buy a few more today. ”
Linglong ignored them, she asked Xingyu, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Xingyu pointed to the old nun in the corner of the wall: "She said that she is the abbot of this place, Huiqing, and ah, the maid has searched all over the place, but except for her, I didn't see the second nun." ”
Linglong's face was covered with a layer of ice.
More than ten years ago, the daughter of the Mao family hid here to give birth.
More than ten years ago, there was a fire when the water was walking here.
And today, more than ten years later, there is only one nun left in this black nunnery.
Her heart pounded, and she walked straight to the old nun.
The old nun was half-squatting on the ground, and suddenly she saw a pair of feet wearing rose-red gold peony embroidered shoes standing in front of her.
When did these feet come over, she didn't even hear a sound.
She looked up in disbelief and looked up at the noble lady standing in front of her.
Very young, at most teens, if it weren't for the woman's hairstyle, I thought it was a young lady who didn't come out of the cabinet.
"Donor, is there anything wrong?" Old Ni asked.
Linglong looked around the nunnery: "This place is too dilapidated, it needs to be repaired well, and I will have someone come to renovate this place for you tomorrow." ”
There was no surprise on the old nun's face, and her face was calm: "Don't worry about the donor, although this nunnery is dilapidated, the room dedicated to the Bodhisattva is still quite solid." ”
He politely refused.
Linglong suddenly felt that she was really full of copper stench, she was a little sweaty, and said: "What about the other people here, why is there only Shitai alone?" ”
The old nun sorted out the fallen leaves again, she poured the leaves into a wooden bucket, and said as she poured: "The dead die, and the poor nun will not die because he is afraid that the Bodhisattva will not have an offering." ”
The old nun's words didn't sound like much to others, but they were the ones that the elderly often nagged about.
But when Linglong heard it, she secretly clenched her fists.
Dead and dead, walking, not old and sick and dying, not thinking that this place is hard to walk, I think some of them are extinguished, they died of the fire, and some of them are so frightened that they fled for their lives.
"Is that child male or female?" She asked suddenly.
The old nun was caught off guard and was taken aback, and the wooden barrel in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the stumps and fallen leaves were scattered on the ground.
One-one-one-one
