Chapter 195: First Stop

Chen Qiuniang nodded and said, "My ancestral home is far away in Qingcheng County, and I later moved to Wuli Town. Before he could move the grave, he encountered a military disaster. After that, the family plummeted, and there was no time to go back to see what the ancestral tomb had become. At this time, the house is decided, and the general thing is to see the tombs of the ancestors. ”

"Childe is young, and he is really even a filial person." Cui whispered.

Chen Qiuniang laughed and stopped talking, but she suspected even more that there was something wrong with this little cui. It is not easy for a person to pretend to be smart, but it is easier to show his feet if he wants to pretend to be stupid. This little cui looks very clumsy, like a little girl who doesn't understand anything, but some words can occasionally be seen in their depth. Chen Qiuniang is very sensitive to this situation.

"Childe, when the time comes, do you want to go in person?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Cui asked again.

Chen Qiuniang half-squinted, leaned on the cool mat, and only nodded silently.

"The maid heard that Liuhe Town is a long way to Qingcheng County. When the time comes, if the son thinks that the servant is okay, the servant asks to continue to serve the son. Xiao Cui continued.

Chen Qiuniang said "um", which was regarded as a promise. Na Xiaocui was happy to herself, and said, "It's great to be able to serve the son." ”

"Don't be surprised, Childe hasn't rested well these days, haven't you seen Childe answer you? Be quiet. Xi Bao is a person who is observant, and he opened the curtain and scolded Xiao Cui slightly.

Xiaocui whispered: "Oh, thank you for the reminder, I'll shut up." ”

The weather is hot, and the girl in front of her, who used to look simple and clumsy, is likely to be someone else who has placed her in the Chen Mansion. Chen Qiuniang didn't bother to inquire about anything. The whole person was drowsy, so he lay down in the carriage covered with bamboo mats and pretended to sleep.

The carriage bumped all the way, and finally arrived at Qingquan Temple at noon. Because Qingquan Temple implements morning and evening classes, there is no such thing as lunch. In fact, in ancient times, many temples and Taoist temples implemented the morning and dinner system, which was not only to save food, but also to practice.

Xibao and Xiaocui first accompanied Chen Qiuniang to the main hall to offer incense, and then talked with the host for a long time, saying that it was to donate a tablet for Zhu Gongzi in the temple, hoping that the sound of chanting could surpass him to ascend to bliss early and not suffer from karmic fire. Chen Qiuniang gave a lot of sesame oil, behaved and spoke politely, and said that it was Zhu Gongzi. Although the host is a monk, he has also heard of Zhu Wenkang's great achievements, so the host also feels that there are countless karmic retributions after Zhu Wenkang's death.

"The donor is kind-hearted, and the old man will set up a tablet for Zhu Gongzi here, and he will spend three consecutive days for him." The old host clasped his hands, and it was another sentence of "Amitabha", and Chen Qiuniang also returned the salute, and then said that she would also join in this chanting.

The old host did not object, and praised Chen Qiuniang for her kindness. After that, Chen Qiuniang lived in the wing room of Qingquan Temple. After packing his luggage, he went to find Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen was taking a nap, and the one who accompanied Mrs. Chen to chant and pray here was the porter Wang Pozi. Mrs. Wang was holding a pu kui fan at the door of Mrs. Chen's bedroom, sitting on a low stool, leaning against the wall and falling asleep.

"Wang Xianxian." Xiao Cui stepped forward and shouted.

Mrs. Wang was startled, jumped up with an "oops", held her chest and said, "You dead girl, scared me to death." ”

"Wang Xianxian, it's Gongzi Jiang who has come to see Madame." Xiao Cui said again.

The princess smiled and said, "Gongzi Jiang has a heart. This is trying to get people to send a message to the family, and the prayer here is about to end, so let the family take a carriage to pick it up. I didn't expect my cousin to come over. ”

Chen Qiuniang smiled, asked about Mrs. Chen's physical condition, and asked when she could do it. Mrs. Wang said that she originally had to wait until tomorrow, because there would be a car back in the afternoon, and she asked the tailor's mother Wu from the tailor shop on Xiushui Street to go to the Yunlai Hotel to report the news, and Wu's mother would not go back until the afternoon.

"Of course, now that my cousin is here, he can leave immediately." Mrs. Wang was very happy, and it seemed that she was really not interested in the temple of this ancient Buddha of the green lantern.

"Originally, it rained heavily before, and I wanted to take my wife back, but everyone knew that my wife had a temper, and I didn't finish praying, I was afraid that even if the flood came, she wouldn't leave. Therefore, this is the day, and I have come to this day. As Chen Qiuniang spoke, she heard Mrs. Chen get up in the house, and hurriedly instructed Xiaocui to go and serve, and instructed Mrs. Wang to put all the soft on the carriage, and Xibao would send them back to Liuhe Town in a while.

Mrs. Wang went to pack her luggage, and Xiaocui went into the house to serve Mrs. Chen. Xibao stood beside Chen Qiuniang and whispered, "Childe, let that carriage send Mrs. Chen back." I'm here to wait. ”

"Nonsense, I don't worry about others, you are smart, and you can catch the car steadily. You sent it back, and besides, I want to look for you at night. Chen Qiuniang's face sank.

Xibao muttered, "Don't." Leave you here, I'm not at ease. ”

"There's nothing to worry about, it's very peaceful around here, not to mention this Buddhist pure land." Chen Qiuniang waved her hand.

"Childe, although I am not a native of Liuhe Town, I have been in the Luo family since I was a child, and I know this Liuhe Town well." Xibao lowered her voice very low, and then almost leaned into her ear and said, "Childe, Xiaocui is not a local as she said. Moreover, I don't think she's such a stupid person. ”

"Don't be too careful." Chen Qiuniang knew that Xibao was meticulous, but she didn't expect him to be so meticulous.

"It's not a lot of heart, I'm telling the truth." Xibao was a little anxious, and was about to say something, but Xiaocui had already accompanied Mrs. Chen out.

"Yun'er, I'm so happy that you came to pick me up." Mrs. Chen was dressed in simple clothes and dressed very plainly. Chen Qiuniang knew that she came here this time not only to pray for Chen Wenzheng's future career, but also to pray for the old shopkeeper.

"This is what Yun'er should do, madam, you better get in the car, otherwise, it's getting late, I'm afraid the road will not be very peaceful." Chen Qiuniang said, and then reassured her, saying that Xibao is a reliable child.

Mrs. Chen looked at Xibao and said, "This child is the young man from the Luo family, but I have seen it." ”

Chen Qiuniang talked to Mrs. Chen about buying a house and settling down, and asked her to help her take care of her younger siblings in the future, after all, she has never been a mother and always takes care of her.

When Mrs. Chen heard that Chen Qiuniang took the family over to settle down, she was very surprised for a while, on the one hand, she promised Chen Qiuniang to help her take care of her family, and on the other hand, she asked in a low voice if the sound of the hotel was really so good?

Chen Qiuniang laughed and whispered, "Madam, it's too low to talk about making money every day." ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Chen was very surprised, she had also run an inn with Shopkeeper Chen, and she never thought that this nine-year-old girl could rejuvenate a dying inn and make it beautiful.

"Madame should not be surprised, precisely because the business of the restaurant is so good. Big Brother and Panqing, as well as Xiaoqing, are very busy every day. It's not convenient for me to show my head and do a little behind-the-scenes work. So, I have more time than they do, and I'm here to pick you up. Chen Qiuniang said as she carefully put Mrs. Chen into the carriage.

Xibao still sank his face, and the boss looked at her reluctantly, and said, "I sent Mrs. Chen back, and I will come to serve again." ”

"Nonsense, there are so many things at home, Xiaocui is here to serve. Besides, there's a lot of it here. If I want to go back, Yun Qi is still here. Chen Qiuniang frowned.

Xibao knew that she couldn't screw Chen Qiuniang, so she bit her lip and said nothing, and drove the carriage away with a whip. Chen Qiuniang commanded loudly: "You must catch the car carefully, don't be in a hurry, and pay attention to safety." ”

"Got it." Xibao replied loudly, but his heart was full of anger, worried and scared.

After seeing off Mrs. Chen and her party, Chen Qiuniang went straight to her own room and lit incense inside. Because he was a valuable pilgrim, the Buddhist temple sent a high-ranking monk to explain the rules of chanting to Chen Qiuniang, including the time of chanting, the timing of incense and candles, and the content of the scriptures recited. It is said that there are more lonely souls and wild ghosts in the temple, and if the scriptures recited do not match, and they do not follow the rules, they may provoke unclean things.

"Isn't the temple, isn't it, not a quiet place? Doesn't it mean that evil spirits are afraid of Buddhist scriptures? How about the temple, how can there still be those things? Xiao Cui asked timidly.

"Xiaocui, don't talk too much, Buddhism is boundless, Pudu sentient beings, what do you know." Chen Qiuniang scolded softly.

The senior monk immediately praised Chen Qiuniang for having a wise root, and said that he couldn't move around after nightfall, especially in the major halls, he might see things that shouldn't be seen, and he might get into trouble with things that shouldn't be provoked. At that time, if it is a person with nine weak lives, even the Buddha will not be able to save it.

Chen Qiuniang clasped her palms together to salute, and the senior monk said goodbye, but Xiaocui was trembling on the side. Chen Qiuniang ignored it and only turned over to rest. She's going to recharge her batteries, and this is her first stop on the Ecstasy.

When I woke up, it was fasting time. Chen Qiuniang and Xiaocui went to the temple for pilgrims and had some food. The two went back to the house early to wash, because it was dog days and the weather was still hot. Xiaocui was very scared, so she pulled a bamboo couch and slept next to Chen Qiuniang.

Chen Qiuniang did not shy away from it, but she was tired, and she wanted to go to bed early, and she would have to chant tomorrow. The master and servant went to bed early, and when it was midnight, in the dead of night, Chen Qiuniang tiptoed up and whispered to Xiaocui for a while, seeing that the maid did not move. Chen Qiuniang didn't care if she really slept or faked sleep, so she put on her clothes and went out.

She believes: If Zhao Kuangyin had known that she was the princess of the dead country, then surveillance would be everywhere. Her every move will be under Zhao Kuangyin's surveillance.

Because the temple pays attention to the purity of all sentient beings, it is said that the temple is the place where the yin qi is the heaviest. Therefore, after dark, those halls and other things are said to be reserved for lonely souls and wild ghosts to worship, so the temple is empty at the moment. The scorching heat of the day has receded, and the pines and cypresses and ginkgo biloba are shadowed in the hazy moonlight, which at first glance is really scary.

After Chen Qiuniang crossed over, she was actually a little suspicious of what the ghosts and gods said. In fact, even in that time and space, living in a mountain village surrounded by superstition, even when she grew up, she received a materialist education. She is still skeptical of ghosts and gods.

But whether there are ghosts or gods or not, she always believes that human beings are a powerful species, and that there is no need to be afraid of the invisible and invisible things. Therefore, when she walks at night, there is always a murderous aura, and there is a trend of "ghost avoidance".

She is not afraid of any lonely ghosts from the bottom of her heart. But in this temple, walking in the empty temple, she still felt a little uncomfortable cold.

Still, she wasn't afraid. But he lingered at the door of the main hall for a long time, and then, with his hands together, knelt there.

"Donor?" A little novice on night watch shouted in a low voice.

Chen Qiuniang could hear his voice trembling. She knew that she had been here for a long time, and she had scared this little novice. Because he was in Buddhism, he believed in ghosts and gods after all, so this little novice should have thought that he had seen a ghost at first. And after watching it for a long time, she was kneeling here, motionless. He was afraid that he would be a living man. If it is a living person, it is against the rules of the temple. And he was motionless, and he was afraid that something would happen.

"Shh Chen Qiuniang turned around and motioned for the little novice to be silent.

The little novice let out a "ah", Chen Qiuniang was originally dressed in plain clothes and had a new face, about the little novice thought that he was dying. After all, those who can kneel outside the Mahavira Hall on a moonlit night must be a powerful ghost, and the legend is that in order to repent outside the Buddhist gate, hoping to wash away the dirty karma of the body, if they are disturbed, they will be annoyed and angry, and take people's lives.

Because the little novice was frightened, he alarmed the monks in the temple. The host also came, but when he saw that Chen Qiuniang was kneeling there, he clasped his hands together and said, "Why is this benefactor?" ”

"During the day, I heard Master Yuanqing say that there would be evil ghosts outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall at midnight to repent. I'm here to see if I can meet the soul of Zhu Gongzi. Chen Qiuniang was still kneeling there and said politely.

"Donor, people and ghosts have different paths. Even if you kneel here, you can't see it. Buddhism is boundless, your heart, Zhu Gongzi can definitely feel it. After a long time of persuasion, Chen Qiuniang was helped back to the room by Xiaocui to sleep.

Of course, Chen Qiuniang's matter also spread. She secretly thought: With Zhu Wenkang's temperament, if she knew, she would definitely appear. Zhu Wenkang, I'm going to see if you're dead. Let's see which of us can survive whom.

On the second day, Chen Qiuniang chanted as usual and was in a daze. But Xibao came in a car again, saying that he didn't worry about Chen Qiuniang. At the same time, she also brought two little girls, Chen Qiuniang looked at her eyes, but Xibao said angrily: "The son doesn't care about the affairs in the mansion, and he has never lived in the mansion, how can he recognize it all?" These two little guys are the guardians of the house. I personally picked it, and the people are also clever, so I also called here to serve my son. ”

Chen Qiuniang knew his intentions, and she also sighed. However, this Xibao did not tell the truth. Although she hasn't been back a few times, she can't forget who is in this mansion. At this moment, these two people don't know where they came from. R1152
