Chapter Eighty-Five: Shaved Hair
After reciting the sutras, the master began to teach the Dharma, during which he would also talk about the various states of the world.
Originally, Feng Yu just listened casually, but when she heard Master Shandao talk about the fact that people who have been fighting all year round are really sinful, Feng Yu immediately thought of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan is fighting outside all the year round for the sake of the northern capital, and he must have more than one life in his hands, if it is as the master said, then Xiao Yan ......
After what Master Shandao said, Feng Yu listened carefully to it, but she was worried about Xiao Yan in her heart.
After the teaching, the queen was helped to rest by the personal palace maid, and Fengyu took the opportunity to find the master and asked him about the sins of those who fought in the war, what would be the consequences?
"Why did the princess ask about this?"
Feng Yu hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "Don't hide it from the master, Xiao Yan, the general of the Northern Capital, is my friend. He has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and his hands have been stained with a lot of lives. ”
"Just now I heard what the master said, saying that a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time is really guilty, so I am a little worried about him."
Master Shandao looked at Feng Yu quietly, and Feng Yu saw that he was unmoved, so he immediately knelt down and said, "I beg the master to teach me." ”
"Princess, please get up." Master Shandao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Feng Yu up, looked at Feng Yu's sincere face, and sighed.
"When Lao Wei saw the general in the palace today, he already saw that he had a relationship with the princess for several lifetimes."
"Originally, fate was destined by heaven, and it was fortunate that there was a fate in a lifetime, and the two of you had fate in several lifetimes, which means that the princess was favored by God."
Speaking of this, Master Shandao stopped, and after being silent for a long time, he looked at Feng Yu and said, "The princess and the general have been related for several lifetimes, which moved the old man's heart. ”
"In this way, if the princess voluntarily becomes a monk for more than a month, the old man will look at the face of the Buddha and do a ritual for the general to purify his sins."
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then thought of her previous life, Xiao Yan disregarded her own life, rushed into the sea of fire to save her, and finally was willing to die in the sea of fire with her.
Xiao Yan has such a deep affection for her, she is just a monk, what is it.
The next moment, Feng Yu knelt in front of Master Shandao and said earnestly: "Feng Yu voluntarily became a monk and prayed to the master to do a purification ceremony for Xiao Yan and eliminate his sins." ”
Seeing that Feng Yu was so sincere, Master Shandao showed a pleased smile and nodded: "Okay, since the princess is so sincere, Lao Wei promised the princess that when the princess is a monk for more than a month, he will definitely eliminate the sins on the general's body." ”
"Thank you, Master." Feng Yu kowtowed, then straightened up and looked at Master Shandao, "However, Feng Yu still has one more thing to ask for, I hope the master agrees." ”
"Princess, please speak."
"I don't want anyone else to know about this matter, including the emperor's mother." Feng Yu said with a serious face.
"The princess's meaning, the old man understands." Master Shandao nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the princess, the old man will definitely keep it a secret for the princess." ”
"Feng Yu thanked the master."
So, Feng Yu came to the queen, knelt in front of her and said, "Qiluo has something I want to ask the emperor to agree." ”
"Hurry up." The queen looked at Feng Yu and said, "If there is anything, just say it, as long as it is a good thing, the emperor will definitely promise you." ”
Feng Yu got up from the ground and said sincerely: "Qiluo wants to become a monk and pray for the blessing of the country. ”
"What?" The queen looked at her with some surprise and said, "You want to become a monk?" ”
Feng Yu nodded seriously and said, "Since listening to the Dharma taught by the master, Qiluo has been deeply touched in his heart, and when he arrived in the temple today, he was even more deeply touched. ”
"As the princess of the Northern Capital, Qiluo can neither go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, nor interfere in the government, so praying for the country is the only thing Qiluo can do for the people of the Northern Capital."
Hearing what Feng Yu said, the queen was very moved in her heart and said: "It's rare that you have this heart, and the emperor will naturally not stop you." But as a princess of the Northern Capital, if you are a monk......"
"Queen, please rest assured, the princess will only be a few months away from home and pray for blessings, not for long." Master Shandao spoke, which can be regarded as relieving the queen's concerns.
As soon as she heard that she had only been a monk for a few months, the queen put her mind at ease, looked at Feng Yu and said, "Since this is the case, then the emperor has nothing to say." ”
"The son of the emperor Xie Huang is compassionate." Feng Yu bowed and saluted.
Master Shandao looked at Feng Yu and asked, "I wonder when the princess wants to shave?" ”
"Please also ask the master to shave me immediately." Feng Yu said without hesitation.
"In that case, then ask the princess to come with the old man."
Feng Yu saluted the queen, and then followed Master Shandao to the front hall, and Master Shandao went to prepare the things needed for the shaving ceremony.
Kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, Feng Yu said with a pious face, "Feng Yu, the princess of the Northern Capital, is a willing monk today, and I only ask for the mercy of my Buddha to avoid the sin of killing Xiao Yan, the general of the Northern Capital." ”
"Although Xiao Yan's hands are stained with the blood of the enemy, he is only dedicated to protecting the safety of tens of millions of people in the northern capital, and he also hopes that God will have mercy and let him live a safe life."
After Xiao Yan arranged all the guard work, he immediately went to find Fengyu, and for a whole day, they didn't speak, and he missed her a little.
Coming to the courtyard of the apse, Xiao Yan saw the master of the good way from afar, and ......
When he saw the person walking next to the Master of Good Dao, Xiao Yan was stunned, and after reacting, he immediately ran over.
"Princess, you, how ...... you"
Seeing Xiao Yan's surprised eyes, Feng Yu smiled at him and said, "Today, I listened to the master's teaching of Buddhist scriptures, and I was very touched, so I decided to become a monk and pray for the blessing of the country." ”
"What?!" Xiao Yan looked at the bald Fengyu in disbelief, then looked at Master Shandao and asked, "Master, is this really the case?" ”
"The princess has this kindness, and my Buddha will definitely bless the northern capital." Master Shandao answered the question, but it also solved Xiao Yan's doubts.
Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and after a while, he said resolutely: "Tell me the truth." ”
"That's the truth, what else do you want me to say?" Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan with a smile on her face, and she didn't intend to tell him the truth.
Xiao Yan understands Fengyu and knows that with her character, she will not tell the truth, but she is afraid that she will really become a monk, so she ......
'Whoa......'
"Xiao Yan, what are you doing?" Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan in shock, the sword in his hand was resting on the neck of the Good Dao Master.
Xiao Yan looked directly into Feng Yu's eyes and said, "I want to know why you did this?" ”
"I've already told you that I became a monk to pray for the blessing of the country, what else do you want me to tell you?" Feng Yu's eyes stared at Xiao Yan tightly, and she persuaded, "Listen to me, you put down your sword first." ”
Xiao Yan, who had never disobeyed Fengyu, insisted on not putting down his sword this time, but insisted on saying: "The princess should know my character and tell me the truth, otherwise I will be disrespectful to the master." ”
"Xiao Yan."
Feng Yu looked at him with a serious expression, but Xiao Yan was unmoved, and now Feng Yu has no other way.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth, you put down your sword first."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan put the sword back into its scabbard, he knew that since Feng Yu agreed, he would not break his promise, after all, in terms of the situation just now, he could easily repeat it again.
"When Master Shandao narrated the Buddhist scriptures, he mentioned that people who have been fighting for many years have sins because they have too much blood on their hands."
Feng Yu paused and continued, "So I asked the master to do a purification for you. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan had already understood, he looked at Feng Yu and said, "The condition is for you to become a monk." ”
Although she didn't want to admit it, Feng Yu still nodded and said, "The master promised me that as long as I became a monk for more than a month, I would do a purification ceremony for you to cleanse your sins." ”
After knowing the truth, Xiao Yan was very moved in his heart, if it weren't for the presence of the Good Dao Master, he might have held Fengyu tightly in his arms.
Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu with some distress and said, "Does the princess think it's worth it to make such a big sacrifice for me?" ”
Hearing this question, Feng Yu lowered her head and smiled lightly, then looked at Xiao Yan and said: "This princess has always been heart-oriented, since I follow my heart, why is it worth talking." ”
Looking at Fengyu's face, Xiao Yan nodded heavily, "I understand." ”
Then Xiao Yan found Feng Yi and asked him to return to Beijing first to restore his life, while he stayed to protect the queen and princess.
Feng Yi knew that Feng Yu had shaved her degree to pray for the blessing of the country, so she must have made Xiao Yan care in her heart, and if she let him go, Xiao Yan would definitely not agree.
But Feng Yi also knew that with Xiao Yan here, Feng Yu would definitely be safe and sound, so after resting for a while, he returned to the capital with a small number of people.
Sending Feng Yi away, Xiao Yan returned to the apse, Feng Yu had already changed the clothes in the temple and was sitting at the table to rest.
"I'm back."
Feng Yu looked up at Xiao Yan and asked, "Is the imperial brother gone?" ”
"Well, the eldest prince will return to Beijing first, and I will stay to protect you, as well as the queen mother." Xiao Yan nodded and said softly, looking at Feng Yu's eyes very gently.
Feng Yu looked at him with a smile and asked, "Then will you be bored staying here?" ”
"Of course not. I, as long as I can see the princess, I feel satisfied. Xiao Yan said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Feng Yu was amused by his words and laughed, Xiao Yan looked at the bareheaded Feng Yu, in addition to feeling guilty, he also felt a little sorry for her.
"It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, how could the princess be like this."
Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu guiltily, and said distressedly: "The princess is the princess of the Northern Capital, the body of a daughter, but she shaved her hair for me, how can I Xiao Yan be virtuous." ”
Seeing Xiao Yan feel guilty about herself, Feng Yu felt a little uncomfortable, in order to make him happy, Feng Yu deliberately touched her bald head and said, "What's wrong?" Wouldn't I be the princess of the Northern Capital if I lost my hair, and I wouldn't be beautiful? ”
Stunned for a moment, Xiao Yan hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not." A princess is a princess, and nothing can change who you are. ”
"And no matter what you become, in my heart, you are the most beautiful."
Feng Yu laughed happily, and the next moment, she put away the smile on her face, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Since nothing has changed, don't feel guilty about me anymore." ”
