Chapter 414: Death
Linglong was puzzled, but she smiled on her face: "Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe it's Wuyi'an." ”
Linglong seemed to think of something: "Speaking of being a monk at home, I really want to ask the master to give the Buddhist scriptures back to worship." ”
As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally picked up the teacup again, and the string of red coral Buddha beads on her wrist was revealed.
Puci's eyes were really attracted by this string of Buddhist beads, and she suddenly remembered the rumors in the capital last year.
"Please forgive the poor nun for being clumsy, Princess Rui's string of Buddhist beads is a gift from Master Zhijue?"
Linglong nodded slightly: "The teacher is too good for eyesight." This is exactly the string of Buddhist beads that Master Nanlin consecrated and was given by Master Zhijue. ”
Pu Ci looked at Linglong's gaze and became a little more humble, it turned out that she was the young lady of the Jin family who was ordered by Master Zhijue on the spot.
This Puci Master is also a lotus flower, Linglong listened to her praise again, and then seemed to think of one thing: "Speaking of which, when I was young, I once listened to a female gentleman give a lecture, but unfortunately later I went to Jiangsu, and the female gentleman did not know where to go, last year I heard that she had a relationship with the Buddha, and also became a layman at home. Her surname is You, her leap name is Yinqiu, she is literate and hyphenated, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
Master Puci said with a smile: "The You Jushi you mentioned is really related to the poor nun, speaking of which, she has been worshipping in the small nunnery for many years, and last year she begged the poor nun to accept her as a lay disciple. ”
Linglong smiled, You Yinqiu used to give Shuiyue Nunnery two hundred taels of incense money every year, but I think it was last year that she made a big head, so you accepted her as a lay disciple.
She was amazed and delighted. said to Xingyu: "Since You Niangzi is also registered here, it is really fate, Xingyu, you only take two hundred taels of silver and add more incense money." ”
Puci didn't expect this little princess to be so generous, and she was really from the Jin family.
Next, it's more diligent. He also took a Puhui Shitai in his thirties, and personally accompanied the princess to watch the ancient carvings of the famous places in the nunnery.
Shuiyue Nunnery is located on Xiaofeng Mountain, Zhongling Stone is beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. There are many stone carvings in the nunnery. Among them, there is no shortage of rare leap holy hands. For example, Mrs. Qian, who is known for her wild grass, was a four-grade seal when she was alive, and her poems and writings are rarely circulated, and it is extremely rare to see her inscription here.
The nun named Puhui was also very good at reading words and feelings. I saw Linglong standing in front of the inscription for a long time. asked the little nun to extend the inscription.
It's been a journey. Every time I see a stone carving left by a woman, they are all concocted like this.
Linglong smiled, and some of the words were not as good as her. But since people are kind, it is inconvenient for her to refuse.
As the abbot, Pu Ci can't always accompany her, and the first time they meet so attentively, it will make the princess look down on her. What monks pay attention to is that indifferent sense of mystery. Pu Ci asked Pu Hui to accompany her, and she deduced that there was still a trivial trip in the nunnery to leave.
Seeing her leave, Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Puhui something about Buddhism, although Puhui was very young, she also spoke the truth, and Linglong couldn't help but nod her head.
She doesn't understand.
Seeing that Princess Rui's face was full of admiration, Na Puhui was proud in her heart, and she said more.
Linglong asked her: "I offered three ever-bright lamps in the nunnery, and my female husband You Niangzi thought that she also offered the lamp, speaking of which her parents died early, which is also pitiful." ”
When Pu Hui heard Linglong mention a You Niangzi, she remembered someone and asked, "Do you know You Niangzi?" ”
Linglong said: "Just now in the cloud room, Master Puci said that she had a lay disciple who practiced at home, but I didn't expect it to be my young female husband, it was really fateful." I think she is also offering an everlasting lamp to her parents and loved ones. ”
Pu Hui's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
After walking for a while, there was a spring in front of him, and the spring water was tinkling, and a slight white mist condensed above the spring.
"Is this a warm spring?" Linglong's face was happy.
"The princess guessed well, this is the warm spring, there are many springs here in the back mountain, but the warm spring is the only one."
Linglong asked the red embroidery and red silk to fetch water, but there was no utensils for a while. Fortunately, there are many noble ladies who often come here to watch the spring, Puhui makes a look, and there is a little nun who takes two clay pots from a blue brick hut next to it, this clay pot is still new, and it looks like it has been prepared in the nunnery for a long time, specially for the purpose of drawing water.
After receiving two jars of spring water, Linglong pointed to a small gray brick courtyard not far away and asked, "Why is there a courtyard there, but the masters in the nunnery live?" ”
There are only two or three houses there, surrounded by green pines, and the sound of wooden fish and chanting can be heard.
Pu Hui shook his head: "Amitabha, the princess doesn't know, it's the Hall of the Dead." It was built here to be quiet, so as not to disturb it. ”
Anyone who has passed away will enshrine the tablet of the deceased in the temple, so that their relatives can hear the Dharma as soon as possible, get rid of the sea of suffering, and be reborn in the Pure Land of the West.
Generally, large monasteries have rebirth halls, but nunnery is very rare. The reason is that it is very inconvenient for men to come to worship in the temple, and most of them are enshrined in the temple rather than the temple.
Linglong asked, "Are all the deceased daughters enshrined in this hall of the dead?" "It's rare to hear of men putting tablets in nunnery.
Pu Hui's expression was a little stiff, as if it was inconvenient to speak, but the words of Fang Cai's exquisite weighing and praising her still lingered in her ears, like this matter of the Afterlife Hall, there is no defense to talk about it, the princess is in charge of the back house, maybe she will come here to worship.
She looked around with a careful look and said in a low voice: "The princess doesn't know, the afterlife hall of our Shuiyue Nunnery is different from other temples, and it is dedicated to children who died young. ”
Linglong's bright face turned a little pale, and she asked in a low voice, "Are there so many children who haven't grown up who want to spend time here?" ”
Pu Hui said: "Amitabha, I am afraid of life, and my life is in danger of morning dew. Some are dead children, and some are still unformed fetuses. Alas, but this is also different, these children are not adults, they have resentment, and those who can be exceeded in the afterlife hall are cherished by their parents, reciting the mantra of the afterlife, hoping that he can be reincarnated as soon as possible, and he is different from those little ghosts who are calmed by great mana, although they also have to recite the scriptures, but they recite different scriptures, so as not to let those evil spirits reincarnate and endanger the world. ”
Linglong's heart was pounding, and she suddenly understood that maybe You Yinqiu's **** scriptures were recited night and night was this kind of scripture.
"Are the suppressed evil spirits here?" She felt that her voice had trembled, and she forced herself to calm down, but Pu Hui was not suspicious, not to mention a delicate little girl like the princess, this kind of thing is even a little nun who has been a monk for many years is also afraid.
"I didn't spend more time in the nunnery, I was all in my own home."
And so it was.
