Spring plowing began after the sandstorm, and the days were particularly busy, and every household in the entire military camp went out early and returned late. And the busiest is before and after Qingming.

Duanmu Xuan, who is in the border city, is also arranging military affairs and dealing with various things. In addition to being busy farming, Situ Yan also wants to use the Qingming Festival to help Wu Jin create another momentum, so that these new military households can be more obedient and listen to his orders. The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month.

Two days before the Qingming Festival, Situ Yan and Wu Jin discussed the events of the Qingming Festival.

"The Qingming Festival is approaching, I don't know what my brother can plan?" Drinking tea, it is rare for the two to sit down like this and have a good chat.

"Yan'er, but you think it's better to make the sacrifice more grand?" Wu Jin's tired people these days have been dark, not to mention that they have lost a little, in fact, if it weren't for Situ Yan's stewed tonics from time to time, Wu Jin would have been tired and lay down.

"There were no casualties in this snowstorm. This is a great opportunity to win hearts and minds. Moreover, most of these new military households are disaster victims, and they are not allowed to go out without orders, so naturally they cannot return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors. If the elder brother can take this opportunity to settle these people, I am afraid that they will not be convinced and grateful. No matter how bad it is, if they want to make trouble again in the future, they will be stretched thin and take care of it. Brother can also use this to block the mouths of the people! Situ Yan has been thinking about this for several days.

"That's good, then Ming'er will go to the border city as a brother, and invite a few Buddhist monks to come to do a puja on Qingming Day, and then buy some offerings!" Wu Jin thought about inviting herself, but Situ Yan didn't approve of it.

"Brother has to be busy with so many things such as ethics, horses, tuntian, and sand control, where is there any extra time! I'd better wait for my brother to go on this trip, right? ”

Wu Jin originally wanted to refuse, but as the little sister said, at present, the affairs of the various military camps are entangled, and he really can't get out, so he has to reluctantly nod and agree, but he is still not at ease, "You go out alone, because my brother is uneasy, let the bolt help you catch the car." You've got you covered! ”

"Brother, where can I get away from the bolt, I have the snow wolf to protect me, and I can't break it!"

"Well, that little sister must be more careful tomorrow!"

Situ Yan saw that Wu Jinying responded. Of course, she was full of joy, she was the first time to visit the temple of this life, although there were occasional times when she fled and slept in the broken temple, but those were abandoned temples, which were naturally completely different from the prosperity of the temples where these monks lived.

The next day after breakfast. Situ Yan changed into men's clothes and took the snow wolf to drive the carrot to the Leiyin Temple on the edge of the border city. This is still from Lu Ming, this Leiyin Temple is the most famous temple in the entire Dunhuang County, backed by Wusha Mountain, built with the Moon Spring. And the Wuming Zen master in the temple is a high-ranking monk.

For these Buddhist Zen masters, Situ Yan has always been respectful and humble, after all, this is someone else's belief and is worthy of her respect.

And Duanmu Xuan in the border city was persuaded by Mo Feng and Mo Yu to come to Leiyin Temple at this time, and he also wanted to take advantage of this time in Qingming to go to the temple to offer pillar incense.

Two hours later. Situ Yan had already seen a magnificent building from a distance, and when it came to its grandeur, of course, it was compared to those ordinary farmhouse courtyards.

Coming closer, I took a closer look at this Leiyin Temple.

The mountain gate is three rooms wide, and there are three lacquer gold characters carved on the forehead of the door, and the temple of the heavenly king is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha and the four heavenly kings when you walk through the mountain gate.

Entering the second courtyard is the center of the whole temple, where the Daxiong Treasure Hall is located, and the left and right are respectively dedicated to the Nine Heavenly Virgin, Jinhua Xiangu and the Black Pond Dragon King three sitting gods of the Golden Flower Hall and the Guanyin Hall dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Fuxian Bodhisattva.

The main hall rises from the spine and lies in the pavilion, the eaves are flying on all sides, the color pier arches and fights, the momentum is majestic and magnificent. Dedicated are Shakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha and Amitabha Buddha. The two sides are clay sculptures of eighteen Arhats. Compared with the modern temples, it is naturally a small house.

But Situ Yan was still very happy, adding a bit of the feeling of a spring outing when she was a child. I lit incense first, visited it, and then found Xiao Shani and asked him about Master Wuming's meditation room.

"Forgive me. The ancestor is visiting at this time, please go to the meditation room to rest first, and wait for the ancestor to be free, and the little monk will come to inform! ”

"It's good!" Situ Yan is here to ask someone to do something, and it will be nothing if she waits for a while. What's more, this is a high-ranking monk who is not eccentric, so she is happy to wait for a while.

It was nearly noon. The little Shani who led the way came to invite her and entered Master Wuming's meditation room, but Situ Yan saw a familiar figure at first sight, "It won't be so unlucky!" Can you meet him here? ”

Of course, this person is Duanmu Xuan, he entered the Leiyin Temple before Situ Yan stepped in, and he was playing chess with Master Wuming at this time, seeing that Situ Yan was just surprised, he greeted Situ Yan with joy, "Little brother, I said a long time ago, we are destined, you still don't believe it, don't you see if you meet again at this time." ”

"yes!" only said hello to Duanmu Xuan perfunctorily, and stepped forward to greet Master Wuming first.

"Master Wuming, believe in the girl Situ Yan wholeheartedly!" Naturally, her identity will not be hidden from this old monk.

"It's just an old monk, and the Situ donor doesn't need to be polite." Master Wuming returned the salute, stretched out his hand and pointed to the futon beside him and motioned for Situ Yan to sit down. There is no curiosity about why she dresses as a man.

Xiao Shani, who sent Situ Yan, brought her a cup of tea, and then withdrew.

"Duanmu donor just lost to Lao Na with one son, I don't know if I would like to play another game?"

"Master Wuming, my little brother must have something to ask for here, why don't you ask the master first, it's not too late for us to go down?" Duanmu Xuan's heart flew to Situ Yan at this moment, where else could he think of anything else.

"It's okay, what Situ donor asks for is not today!"

Situ Yan listened to it, she didn't say anything, this old monk can guess, could it be that in this life, there is really that kind of master who can penetrate the world and the earth?

"The master has a discerning eye, and the things that the believer asks for are indeed not waiting for today!"

"Good! With my little brother helping me take a break, I deserve to win this game! ”

"The donor's heart is in turmoil, and it is difficult to win with this!" This old monk's every sentence is full of mystery, and even Situ Yan can't hear it and guess it.

The three of them sat down, one watched the battle and the two played chess, but at the time of the three teas, Duanmu Xuan was defeated, this time he could understand the deep meaning of the master's words, he was playing chess while peeking at Situ Yan. It's hard not to mess up.

"Duanmu donor, this game of chess has been lost before it is played!"

"Yes, the master is unfathomable, and he loses under the master. With honor! "Duanmu Xuan didn't care about losing to himself.

"Hahaha!" Wu Ming had already noticed Duanmu Xuan's abnormality since he beat Situ Yan when he entered the door, and he had known this junior since he was a child. also knew that this son was arrogant and never wavered by women, but he didn't want to be convinced by such a little girl, so of course he looked at Situ Yan a few more times. Even he was shocked by this look, even he couldn't see through the face of this little girl, and his curiosity suddenly rose, "Master Situ, I don't know where it came from?" ”

Situ Yan subconsciously wanted to reply, "From nowhere!" I'm afraid that this will make the old monk even more interested, but she is from his eyes. Seeing a hint of interest, "The letter girl came from Juntun's home, and wanted to ask the master to go to Juntun on the occasion of Qingming to chant for the people who died in the snow disaster, so that they could ascend to bliss as soon as possible, and hope that the master would be fulfilled?" ”

"Lao Na has not been out of the temple for a long time, I am afraid that the donor will run away in vain, but if the donor does not abandon the apprentice, he can accompany you there?"

Of course, Situ Yan didn't really expect this old monk to come out in person, as long as he was willing to send a few people, "The master's disciples must be high-ranking monks, and believers should pay tribute to them." How can you not give up on it? It's just that it's a long way to go, and I don't know when the empty master will be able to set off with the letter girl? ”

"I'll let them prepare, and the donor will sit down for a while!" This Master Wuming is also a cool person, so he arranged it immediately.

"Can Master Situ play chess?" While sitting and waiting. Wuming intends to talk to Situ Yan.

"The master's chess skills are superb, and the believer is beyond her reach!"

"The donor is modest, how about the next plate?" Even if the old monk asked again and again, Situ Yan had no choice but to accompany him. Although her chess skills were not good in her previous life, she did not pass the time in front of the computer, but she could not give it a try.

The second half of the chess. Wu Ming twisted his beard and nodded at Situ Yan, "The donor's chess style is delicate and steady, calm and wise, but it doesn't match his age?" ”

Master Xie praised. The master is strategic, calm and calm, and the believer is just defensive, barely blocking, just trying not to lose too ugly! Situ Yan is not modest, although she took the lead, but at this time she also knew that this game would be lost, so she didn't seek to advance quickly, and tried not to lose too ugly.

"Hahaha, Duanmu donor, your little brother complements your character!"

"What the master said is very true, the little brother is destined for me!" Duanmu Xuan heard Wuming Zen Master praise his beloved so much, he was full of joy, Wuming was the same as Duanmu Xuan's character when he was young, he was arrogant and cold, and never praised people, because he was an old friend with Duanmu Xuan's master, so the two had known each other for a long time. Although he is old now, even his own apprentices will not praise him, but he doesn't want to look at his little brother differently.

"Situ donor, Lao Na gave you a word, I don't know if the donor is willing to listen?"

"The master's Dharma is profound, and the believer should listen to herself!" Situ Yan was really afraid that the old monk would see that she was borrowing the corpse to return her soul, but she couldn't help but let the old monk speak, so she had to be secretly vigilant in her heart and take good measures to avoid messing up.

"When will the retribution be stopped, it is better to put down and take a step back, and the people around the donor will be at ease!" After careful observation, Wuming has seen that Situ Yan has a bloody killing aura hidden in his body, if there is no deep hatred, a young girl will definitely not be like this, he also admires Situ Yan very much, and does not want her to be entangled in karma at a young age, and fall into a state of no return in the future, so he reminds one or two.

"Thank you for the master's guidance, it's just that the believer has already been in a troubled world and can't help herself, I hope that all the sins will be borne by me alone, and I just want to protect my relatives for a lifetime!" Situ Yan didn't care if she went to hell or not, anyway, she picked up her life, but she also heard the meaning of the master's words, as long as she was capable, she would never ask Wu Jin to go into the water for revenge.

"Lao Na has this Heart Sutra and gives it to the donor, hoping that it can help the donor get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible!" Wuming does not force it, all cause and effect have their own destiny, and he can only persuade and not contradict.

"Master Xie!" Situ Yan carefully took the scripture and put it in her arms.

"Little brother, if you have anything difficult, my brother will definitely protect you and help you!" Duanmu Xuan suddenly heard about this, and his heart ached, I don't know what kind of hatred the little brother was carrying to spend the day, and he actually caused karma. This panic rushed out of his heart.

"Thank you Brother Ziheng, it's better to complain about others than to feel sorry for yourself, it's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, and you are self-sufficient if you don't give or benefit!"

"Hahaha, it's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, but one person is short, two are long, and the brother is willing to help the little brother!"

"Brother Ziheng and I have a huge disparity in identity, and sometimes this gang is more troublesome than not!" Situ Yan almost said directly, don't be nosy with mice, and she thanked God.

Duanmu Xuan also heard the meaning of Situ Yan's words, and not only sighed a little embarrassed. Wu Ming, who was on the side, also nodded, "Situ Shi is smart at a young age, although he can make his relatives blessed, but he also has to accumulate more good things for himself?" ”

"Yes, the faithful woman is taught!" Regardless of whether what Zen Master Wuming said was right or not, it was all based on the compassion and kindness of Buddhism, and Situ Yan should accept it with an open heart.

"The two donors, the sign of this Leiyin Temple is very effective, why don't you go together to ask for a sign, Lao Na is willing to unsign for the two donors."

"That's right, little brother, let's go and ask for a lot together!" Duanmu Xuan felt that Wuming's suggestion was right in the heart.

"Whether it's explicit or implicit, my heart is unwavering, what's the use of asking?"

"Everything is unpredictable, no matter what the little brother asks, wouldn't it be nice to have one more way?"

"Yes, Situ donor, please see, maybe trapped in the knot in my heart, I can get a hint or two." Seeing that Zen Master Wu Mingshen strongly recommended it, Situ Yan had no choice but to nod her head and go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall with Duanmu Xuan to ask for a signature.

Duanmu Xuan watched Situ Yan kneel in front of the Buddha, and only after reciting silently in his mouth did he shake the bucket, not only a little curious, "What is the little brother asking for?" ”

"May the years be quiet and peaceful." Situ Yan didn't ask for anything at all, she always firmly believed in her heart that people will win the sky, and things are man-made, so she has nothing to ask for, but Duanmu Xuan immediately asked, and she was not good at being perfunctory, so she said her state of mind.

"Everyone in the world is greedy for the powerful, likes yellow and white things, and has never had such a chest ban as a little brother in his life, and the little brother's state of mind is somewhat similar to mine!" Situ Yan's words made Duanmu Xuanshen feel the same way, and his good impression of him deepened.

"Whether others are ancestors and ancestors, or even ride, I just want to be fed and warm, and I just want to have a peaceful life in troubled times!"

"What the little brother asks for sounds simple, but I don't know how difficult it is to do?"

"It's good to be worthy of your heart."

"Yes, I also have the best intentions, although I have not regretted nine deaths!"

Listening to Duanmu Xuan's words, Situ Yan had another thought about him for the first time, but it was only a flash, and he didn't even have a chance to catch it. It's a good start. (To be continued.) )
