89. Jorinji Temple
The carriage swayed, and the people with different minds in the carriage no longer laughed much, and along the way, it was a little dull.
"Aunt Huang! It's time to get there! As soon as the carriage stopped, he heard Lu Yizhi shouting at the top of his voice.
"Get out of the car!" Lin Mu'er suppressed her panic, stabilized her mind, and said to everyone.
The parking place is the back mountain of Dinglin Temple, where the terrain is open, and it is specially set out to put carriages for each mansion, which not blocks the way up the mountain from the front door, but also avoids the female dependents in the car being hit! At this time, it is still early, but all kinds of carriages here have been lined up, and there are not a few people who come early!
"Niangniang, there is a mountain road here for female dependents to go up!" Shen Qinglan stepped forward, pointed to a winding path and said, "It will take some effort to climb up, but do you want to take a shoulder?" β
Lin Mu'er looked at it, this trail is quite flat, paved with bluestone slabs of water, hidden in the sparse woods, but it has a special interest, so he shook his head: "Since you are here to burn incense, you should naturally go up by yourself, there is no sincerity at all, and you still come to ask the Buddha to do something?" β
Hearing this, Shen Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, every time she came, she climbed the mountain, one was her mind, and the other was that the scenery in the mountain was also rare, so she was relieved. If Princess Jin wants to be a shoulder servant, she has to accompany her, which is indeed a lot less interesting!
"That's so, mother, please!" Shen Qinglan stretched out her hand to signal.
Lin Mu'er nodded, and walked up, the forest was cold, but fortunately, the sun was warm, projecting through the branches, mottled and disorderly. However, after walking for half a cup of tea, Lin Mu'er stopped, panted slightly, turned his head and said to Shen Qinglan behind him with a smile: "I'm a little tired, sister-in-law let me take a break!" β
Shen Qinglan was also sweating slightly on the tip of her nose, and nodded: "Don't worry, it took me more than half an hour to go up the mountain for the first time, and it's already very good that Niangniang can walk so far!" β
Lin Mu'er knew that Shen Qinglan was relieved to herself, but she only evened out her breath a little, so she continued to walk forward with her skirt!
The difficult thing is that Lu Yizhi doesn't know what's going on today, and his usual jubilant temperament is rare for him to walk quietly behind Shen Qinglan today. It's like a well-behaved child of a family!
Finally, after half a pillar of incense, the group finally arrived at the temple. It was already getting dark, and the pilgrims who had come to pay their respects had already surrounded the temple.
"Two donors, please come here!" A little novice who was here saw Lin Mu'er and the others coming up, and hurriedly stepped forward. γ*β¦ Aichi Literature Β₯~Free Readingγ
"Thank you, little master!" Shen Qinglan opened her mouth to thank you.
The host of Dinglin Temple has a deep friendship with Princess He'an, and every year this Princess He'an Mansion has to give this Dinglin Temple a lot of sesame oil money, plus Shen Qinglan has to come over every month, and this Dinglin Temple has also arranged a fixed wing room for her. Today, I heard that Princess Jin also came, and she lined up early for the little novice to wait here.
All the way down, Lin Mu'er sweated a lot, the clothes on her back were wet, and she wanted to untie the cloak on her body, but Mother Xie refused to say anything, saying that she was sweating, and if the mountain wind blew, she would definitely be sick! new
The fungus had no choice but to cover this thick cloak.
"Niangniang, let's go to the wing room to freshen up first, and the host will arrange for us to go to incense!" Seeing that Lin Mu'er's face was also slightly red, and the hair on her sideburns was wet, Shen Qinglan said, she didn't care about this moment, it was really inappropriate to go to the incense unkempt!
"Good!" Lin Mu'er nodded.
Fortunately, the wing room is not far away, turn a few corners, and build a few rows of wing rooms along the mountain, and the wing rooms of Lin Muer and others are arranged in the innermost room.
"Niangniang, please rest for a while, clean up in a while, let's go again!" sent Lin Mu'er to the wing, Shen Qinglan left, her wing's room is in another place, Lin Mu'er's status is noble, this is a wingroom with some independent courtyards, ordinary people can't enter here. Even if Shen Qinglan's sesame oil was expensive, only an ordinary wing room was arranged.
The wing room in the temple, although it is used by nobles, is not very good, but it is just a fire kang, covered with cushions, and a few simple tables and chairs!
"Be quick with your hands and feet, change your clothes for the master first!" Seeing that the room was still warm, Mother Xie quickly untied Lin Mu'er's cloak with her hands and feet. It's always inappropriate to wear this wet garment on your body, and when the wind blows, it's not to get sick!
Seeing Xie's mother's instructions, Qingcheng Hongxing hurriedly put down the things in her hand, and along the way, these two little girls actually climbed up the mountain with these stubbornly, and Hongxing's wrists were strangled with a few red marks, but they didn't say a word.
After a period of scrambling, he finally changed Lin Muer's underwear, redressed his face, and brushed his hair, looking refreshed.
"Pack it up, too!" Lin Mu'er said a little casually, along the way, a few of them were tired enough. It's just that he has already arrived at Dinglin Temple, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring around, how can King Jin see himself?
Just thinking about it, I heard a message from the little girl outside, saying that she was inviting Princess Jin to the front hall to pay homage. Lin Mu'er had no choice but to put her mind away and take Mother Xie and the others to the front hall.
"Niangniang, the front hall has been cleared, and Niangniang can pray with peace of mind!" Shen Qinglan, who was following along, explained. There were so many people here that I had to ask the others out for safety reasons.
Although Lin Mu'er didn't want to go through such a big effort, Shen Qinglan was kind, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to smile and say, "Sister-in-law Lao is bothered!" β
It is worthy of being a well-known temple, this Daxiong Treasure Hall is gilded copper tiles, solemn appearance, when Lin Muer just stepped in, he saw the Shakyamuni Dharma who sat cross-legged, and suddenly felt that he was small, and his heart was in awe, and even had a feeling of tears that he couldn't help crying!
"!" Seeing that Lin Mu'er was looking at her in a trance, Mother Xie reminded in a low voice.
Lin Mu'er came back to her senses and nodded a little embarrassedly. Lin Mu'er sighed lightly: I came to see King Jin under the guise of worshiping Buddha, but now, pretending to be in front of the Buddha statue, I don't know if the Buddha will blame, and I don't think much about it at the moment, I moved the lotus step lightly, put aside distracting thoughts, and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue with a little sincerity.
"May my life go well!" Clasped hands together in front of his chest, Lin Mu'er's heart
In prayer, although he also secretly laughed at his greed, since ancient times, how many people can live smoothly? After a little prayer, he got up.
"Master!" Seeing Lin Mu'er get up, Mother Xie and others, who were kneeling behind her, hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Lin Mu'er didn't dare to delay too much time, it was not appropriate to block others out of the temple today, after all, Shen Qinglan also finished worshipping here, walked up to Lin Mu'er, and said slightly apologetically: "Niangniang, I should have accompanied you to eat today, but my county king is not in good health these days, and my mother-in-law asked me to go to the scripture hall to recite the scriptures to show my sincerity, so today, I can't accompany you!" β
Lin Mu'er nodded and said with relief: "You don't have to worry about me, sister-in-law can take care of herself!" β
"Thank you, Niang!" Shen Qinglan was blessed: "The meal will be sent to the mother's room, the mother will rest in the room, and we will go back in the afternoon." β
Lin Mu'er nodded again, everything was arranged by Shen Qinglan.
Returned to the wing room and sat for another tea time, Lin Mu'er suddenly felt bored, she had already come with the intention of seeing the King of Jin, but now, sitting like this is also a kind of torment. Seeing that Lan Xue and Xie's mother were also absent-minded, they found an excuse and sent Qingcheng Hongxing out. Only then did he say to Lan Xue and Mother Xie: "Lan Xue, did Master Fu tell you anything else?" Shall we just sit and wait? β
Lan Xue was also preoccupied, and was called by Lin Mu'er coldly, startled, and hurriedly came back to her senses and replied: "Slave... The slave really doesn't know, Fu Ye just said that it was done, and told us to wait. β
Lin Mu'er sighed, there is no way to do it now, just wait!
"Knock knock!" Just when everyone in the house was bored, there was a knock on the door outside the wing!
Lin Mu'er immediately looked for prestige, and unconsciously, his hands were clenched into fists! Lan Xue stood up with a "poof"! Some delighted, and some excited looked at Lin Mu'er!
Lin Mu'er nodded slightly, Lan Xue only took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly went over to open the door.
Outside the wing, there were two or three little novices, who had come to deliver the meal, Lan Xue was a little disappointed!
"Donor, this is your meal!" The leader of the young novice spoke
Although Lan Xue was disappointed, she still squeezed out a smile and took the meal to thank her: "Thank you, little master!" β
"The donor is gracious!" The young novice was respectful, but he didn't say a word, and left the meal.
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, everyone was helpless!
Lin Mu'er sighed slightly: "Let's eat first!" I can't rush to this time! "I also arrived at this Dinglin Temple, if the king of Jin does not show up, he has nothing to do, and he can't be regarded as a no-show!
The fasting meal in Dinglin Temple is also a must, but at this moment, everyone eats the same taste as chewing wax, and Lin Mu'er only used it a little, so he stopped and sat aside with a heavy mind. Looking at this hour, I'm afraid it won't be long before I should go home! King Jin didn't show up today, did he have an accident, or did he not trust himself?
Just when the atmosphere in the house was dull, I suddenly heard a few muffled "knocks" from under the fire!
Lin Mu'er was a little afraid to do so
In disbelief, looking at Lan Xue and Xie's mother who were eating, Lan Xue and Xie's mother also looked at each other, and after coming back to their senses, they walked towards the kang with some hesitation. After listening carefully, there was no sound!
"This..."Mother Xie looked at Lin Mu'er with some confusion, and was just about to say something, when suddenly, the voice of "knock knock" came again!
There is indeed a sound! Lin Mu'er stepped forward quickly, and suddenly lifted the futon spread on the fire kang, leaking out the stone slab below! But there is no flaw in this stone slab, and it is paved neatly!
A few people glanced at each other, but they didn't have a clue, Lin Mu'er had to reach out and touch the slate, trying to find some gaps, the slate was warm and hot, smooth and flat, and there was nothing wrong with it! Just as he was puzzled, the sound of "knock knock" sounded from under the stone slab again, and the startled Lin Mu'er suddenly retracted his hand!
"Master!" Mother Xie was also taken aback, seeing Lin Mu'er's shocked face, she thought she was also afraid.
Lin Mu'er shook her head, signaled to Mother Xie that she was okay, looked at the slate, asked her heart, mustered up her courage, and gently knocked twice on the slate: "Knock knock"
"Knock knock!"
Sure enough! There was a response from under the slate!
"Knock knock!" Lin Mu'er tapped the stone slab again!
At this moment, the sound of response was not heard, but a "squeak" was heard, and it flipped over against the stone slab on the side of the wall, revealing a shining black hole!
