It's already February, the weather is gradually warming, and the city of Gusu, which is famous for its prosperity and wealth of flowers and willows, has restored the peaceful scenery of beautiful winds and beautiful days and swallows dancing and warblers.

In the moat, the spring water has been rippling early, and it is rushing to the embankment and willows one by one.

The willow leaves are thousands of heavy, the open branches are like peacocks opening the screen, which is very interesting, and some branches hang upside down on the water surface. There are duckweed floating in the water, and a few white and tender ducks are holding their necks high, leisurely chasing and playing in this wave of light and shadow.

And say that the Hanshan Temple, was built in the Southern Dynasties, after the renovation of the previous dynasties, covers a huge area, there are many monks, although it is not as famous as the Famen Temple of the Tang Dynasty, but since the Northern Song Dynasty, many good men and women have come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, pious prayer, the clouds are swirling, and the cigarettes are prosperous.

Shen's mother is an old pilgrim of Hanshan Temple, and in order to show her sincerity, she just handed over the dawn and ordered Panyun and Panyu to serve and freshen up. Mrs. Wu and Chen's thinking about their mother-in-law are above, and they all have to wait early in the morning, not to mention Pan Cuilian, An Qichun, and Chen Yun.

When the group went out to the outer courtyard, they saw seven sedan chairs parked in the courtyard, and Feng's mother, who was in charge of the women's travel, was also standing and waiting for a long time.

Mother Shen has always been cautious, so she called Feng's mother to her side and asked the route carefully, because she felt very stable, so she entered the sedan chair with peace of mind.

Mrs. Wu and Chen gave way to each other, and got into the sedan chair one after another, and Pan Cuilian also led Shen Fengyuan and got into the sedan chair calmly.

Chen Yun saw that An Qichun still didn't move, so she went up to help her, and said, "Sister-in-law, just rest assured, this road is very stable!" ”

An Qichun bowed slightly, and her eyes motioned for the girl Qingluan to open the sedan curtain, and then stepped over the sedan bar extremely carefully, and got into the sedan chair with a hairy waist.

Chen Yun turned around and saw Shen Xueru getting into her sedan chair, she couldn't help but chuckle and walked towards the last sedan chair.

Soon out of the house, the seven sedan chairs lined up neatly, through the streets and alleys, but also very smooth.

After more than an hour, the noise in my ears gradually fell silent, and suddenly I heard the sound of a bell on the ground, and the sound of drums slowly reached my ears.

Chen Yun lifted the sedan curtain, only to see that the jungle was green, the treasure temple was towering, and there were many Tanyue near the temple entrance.

An Qichun's pregnancy reaction is terrible, although the sedan chair bearer has superb skills, and has tried to make the middle of the trip more stable, but it is inevitable to cross a few bridges on the road, An Qichun still suffered from bumps after all, so he couldn't help but vomit and vomit.

The seven-seated sedan car stopped steadily in front of the door of the temple. At this time, many good men and women who had made a wish poured out of it with bamboo baskets and left one after another.

Chen Yun stood in front of the hundred-year-old temple, saw a very large scale of the Brahma Palace standing in front of him, and saw the Baotai Star Column, Qionglou Yuezhi, in the smoke of the Guanzhu, the hall Feixia, it looked magnificent and majestic, and his heart suddenly produced endless emotion.

"Let's go, it's too late, the wish won't work!" Mother Shen looked at the pilgrims who came out of the temple gate one after another, and a little disappointment welled up in her heart.

An Qichun endured the discomfort and glanced at Mrs. Wu unhurriedly, but saw that her mother-in-law's eyes were cold and her expression was anxious, and she didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurriedly called Qingluan to support herself, and then walked in broken steps, reluctant to follow

Behind Mrs. Wu.

The group walked through the temple gate.

Entering the temple, there is a flat road leading directly to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and two rows of apricot blossoms are planted on both sides of the road.

Chen Yun saw that the apricot blossoms were blooming very well, as if they were dotted with rouge on the white, they were full of fragrance and fragrant, and the flowers were delicate and delicate, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

At this time, a few eye-catching little novices came up to greet him and said, "Dare to ask a few Tan Yue whether they are here to give alms or pray?" ”

Chen Yun withdrew his hand from the maid's hand, and quickly glanced at the person who spoke, only to see that the monk's face was white and clean, and there were seven or eight small dots dense on the top of his head, Chunshan's eyebrows were light and narrow, Ruifeng's eyes were soft like autumn water, his nose was straight and his forehead was accurate, his red lips and white teeth were long, and he was wearing a gray-blue silk robe that was long to his ankles, and a pair of Arhat shoes made of scraps were revealed under the monk's robe.

"Little master, we are here to repay our vows!" Mother Shen said calmly, and suddenly asked, "I want to ask the little master, can the abbot of the empty phase be in the temple today?" ”

The little monk Chunshan smiled and said: "Tan Yue Rongyu, there are several courtyards in our temple that are deserted, and the abbot of the empty phase in order to rebuild the temple, he got up early and went to the city to give alms, but I am afraid that he will not be able to return until the evening!" At present, all the affairs of our temple are taken care of by the uncle of the temple minister. ”

Shen's mother has had several encounters with the void, and he is in a peaceful mood, and when he heard that he is not in the temple, he will inevitably feel a little disappointed.

The little monk's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that Shen's mother was not very happy, he hurriedly said: "Tan Yue is coming from afar, you might as well go to the pillar incense first, and the little monk will go to the prison temple later!" ”

Mother Shen was old and sophisticated, and seeing that the little monk was trying her best to be thoughtful, she couldn't help but smile and said: "The old man is here to go to the Great Compassion Hall and make a wish in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva; The second is to ask to see the abbot and open his mind. Since the abbot is not in the temple right now, what does it matter if the old man waits? ”

The little monk has a strong mind, smiling and welcoming from beginning to end, with a reverent attitude and a kind expression, just like the bright spring in March.

Seeing him like this, Chen's words were mostly respectful: "I'm also bothering the little master to pack up a few clean rooms and come out, we may have to stay for two days!" ”

The little monk responded repeatedly, turned his head and ordered the waiter behind him to go down and pick up, and then led everyone into the Daxiong Treasure Hall with a good voice.

Chen Yun followed in, only to see a Buddha statue sitting on a lotus seat high in the hall, and the Buddha statue was listed in front of the flowers, tributes, torches, lanterns and other things.

At this time, several little monks had already sent sandalwood up, and Shen's mother, Mrs. Wu, and Chen's each twisted it and bowed respectfully.

After worshipping three times, Shen's mother slowly opened her eyes, examined and looked at the Buddha statue, and then called Panyun to help herself up.

Qiu Xiang and Chunyan also helped Mrs. Wu and Chen up.

The first time Chen Yun entered the temple to worship the Buddha, he didn't understand the rules or regulations, so he could only stand silently and observe Shen Mu and others.

At this time, several monks sent sandalwood to Pan Cuilian, An Qichun, and Chen Yun. Several people bowed their heads and took it, and slowly knelt down in front of the worship mat.

Chen Yun raised his head slightly, only to see the beam chiseled with a phoenix, surrounded by a flying dragon, the gold medal is staggered, the splendid is hanging low, and he can't help but be dumbfounded, and he sees the Buddha statue shining with golden light, like a statue of ten thousand lives

, I couldn't help but bow down with incense, and begged in my heart: "The Buddha is above, and the believer has five vows to tell him." I wish to have a bright future and a bright future; Second, I wish to meet the evil and turn the good into the good, and the disaster will become auspicious; Three wishes for family happiness, no disasters and no difficulties; Fourth, I wish that the husband and wife will be harmonious, and the piano will be reconciled; 5. May my mother and brother be healthy and worry-free! ”

After making the grand wish, Chen Yun slowly opened her eyes, first glanced at the Buddha statue, and then stood up and inserted a small part of the burning sandalwood into the incense ding.

Mother Feng knew the rules, and when she saw that the masters were all incense, she hurriedly distributed money to Xiao Shami.

The little novice was happy in his heart, and his face was solemn, but he bowed his head to Feng Shi.

Seeing that Shen's mother was not too tired, Chen proposed to go to the neighboring Luohan Hall to worship Guanyin. Mother Shen knew what she wanted, so she only nodded yes.

A group out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, only to see the sun hanging high, green pines and lush, the pilgrims who worship the Buddha have gone seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and most of the rest are circling around the temple gate, so when everyone enters the Luohan Hall, the room is silent, and only a few middle-aged women are worshipping and confessing.

Chen Yun carefully entered the main hall step by step, and just set his heels, only to see a golden statue of Guanyin in the hall, wearing a dark yellow embroidered green bamboo leaf cloak, holding a porcelain white jade bottle, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a solemn treasure; The side hall on both sides is separated by a stone door, and the innermost part of the side hall is built on the stone carved throne against the wall, and there are many Arhats standing on the throne, the demeanor is Bi Xiao, and the golden light is shining.

"Yun'er!"

Seeing that Chen Yun was slightly distracted, Chen Shi was afraid that she would lose the rules in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he couldn't help frowning, and called softly, saying: "The heart of worshiping the Buddha is sincere, and the heart of seeking the Buddha is pragmatic, you are so absent-minded, beware of Guanyin Bodhisattva to sin!" ”

Chen Yun was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly confessed, and personally took the incense from the Zhike and carefully sent it to Shen's mother.

Shen's mother took it, pinched her hands and feet and walked to the side of the incense tripod, carefully inserted it in the incense ash, and then gently moved to the side of the kneeling mat, lifted the royal blue embroidered peony placket, and knelt respectfully in front of the statue of Guanyin.

Chen also bowed down with his clothes, and muttered in his mouth: "Nanhai Putuo Luojia Mountain Great Compassion Great Compassion Relief Inspiration Guanyin Bodhisattva is above, the disciple respectfully worships, sincerely begging my daughter-in-law to conceive in October, once giving birth to a child, if you can get your wish fulfilled, with a smile on your grandson, the disciple is willing to donate ten taels of incense to make great merit!" ”

Chen Yun stood on the side, seeing that Shen Mu and the others were changing their mouths rapidly, and secretly thought that they were silently reciting the six-character Da Ming Mantra, so they also closed their eyes, put their hands together in front of their chests, and muttered the Guanyin Mantra in their mouths.

Chen finally finished making his vow, opened his eyes, and saw Chen Yun standing silently on the side, still chanting words in his mouth, and was surprised in his heart, thinking that Chen Yun Huo Ran was enlightened and begging the Bodhisattva to bless Shen Fu to realize his wishes, so he continued to close his eyes and pray for his son despite the soreness of his legs.

Chen Yun stopped talking for a long time, opened her eyes halfway, and saw that Chen was still praying with piety, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and glanced at Guanyin, who was high in her eyebrows and kind eyes, and begged her to be merciful and quickly ask her mother-in-law to stop praying.

Xu is sincerity is spirit, Chen finally opened his eyes, puzzled: "I don't know if the Bodhisattva will bless my wish?" ”

Chen Yun didn't know if begging the Bodhisattva would work, but he just moved his steps, quickly walked to Chen's side, helped her up, and said by the way: "Sincerity, gold and stone are open!" Mrs. is merciful and sincerely worships the Buddha, and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless you with all your wishes! ”

Chen said with a serene expression: "I wish my heart was known to God!" ”

Zhike stood beside him, and saw that Shen Mu and the others begged the Buddha and did not leave, so he hurriedly walked to the front of everyone, leaned over and said: "A few Tan Yue, our temple has arranged for you to stay and eat, if the ceremony is over, please come here with the little monk!" ”

Shen's mother was tired early, but when she saw Chen's desire for Buddha, she never told her honestly, and now this acquaintance just sent the opportunity to the door, so she simply borrowed the slope and got off the donkey and said: "The daughter-in-law of the wing has also been bumpy for a long time, at this time, I'm afraid it should be tired, let's go to the meditation room to rest first, if you still ask the Bodhisattva, come to worship in the afternoon, but it's not impossible!" ”

Mrs. Wu took pity on An Qichun and was pregnant, and took the lead in laughing: "That's fine!" As he spoke, he glanced at the intellectual.

Knowing the customer, immediately walk in front to lead the way.

Chen Yun's eyes were quick, and she took the lead in holding her mother-in-law's arm.

Chen smiled quietly and kept up with the pace of Zhike.
