Chapter 12 Incense in the Temple

The next day the weather was fine, early in the morning Qin Dui was called by Xiao Cui to get up, today Qin Dui wants to accompany Mu Yunxi to the Yunshan Temple on the mountain to make incense and make a wish.

Qin Dui, who was used to going to bed late and getting up late, got up very reluctantly under Xiao Cui's pull, of course, he should take advantage of it, Qin Du was not ambiguous at all, and Xiao Cui's face was red, and it was called "spiritual compensation".

Since the last time she accompanied the eldest lady to the temple to offer incense, Xiaocui has not gone out for a few months, and this time she can come out, not to mention how happy she is, and she doesn't care about being taken advantage of by her uncle, so she quickly serves Qin Du to freshen up.

This Unsan temple on the outskirts of the mountain is famous in Kurihara-gun. The people of Kurihara City love to come to Yunshan Temple for everything. It is said to be very effective, and this temple has a long history and many unique landscapes, which not only attracts literati to come, but also the ladies of large families are willing to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy incense.

Accompanied by Mu Yunxi, he first made incense in the main hall, which is dedicated to the almighty god "Guanyin Bodhisattva" who "saves suffering and rescues difficulties, and responds to requests".

"Guanyin Bodhisattva" can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Great Qin State, whether it is ordinary people, or dignitaries, they generally worship a statue of Guanyin at home, in order to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the whole family with prosperity.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, also known as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guangshiyin Bodhisattva, etc., is literally a Bodhisattva who "observes the voice (of the people of the world)", and is one of the four great Bodhisattvas.

She looks dignified and kind, often holds a net bottle of willow, has immeasurable wisdom and supernatural powers, great compassion, universal salvation of human suffering, when people encounter disasters, as long as they read their names, they go to the rescue, so called Guanyin.

In Buddhism, she is the head of the Bodhisattva under the throne of Amitabha Buddha, the leader of the Western Elysium, and together with the Great Trend Bodhisattva, she is the Bodhisattva beside Amitabha Buddha, and is called the "Three Sages of the West".

According to the Lotus Sutra, she can manifest 33 forms and call them "Avalokiteshvara" according to the voice of all sentient beings, so that she can relieve all kinds of sufferings and difficulties, and can fulfill the prayers of longevity, children, money, and so on.

There are many legends about Guanyin Bodhisattva, which are spread in the Great Qin Kingdom, in the distant ancient times, there was a small country called Chu State, and the king had a daughter named Miao Shan, who believed in Buddhism from snacks and was dedicated to cutting her hair as a nun.

Her father objected, and ordered her to drink the sword and kill herself, but when the sword was broken into a thousand knots, the father suffocated her to death and sent her soul to hell.

The king of hell let her resurrect the lotus flower in a pool in the territory of Chu, and since then, she has been universal to all sentient beings and has done good deeds in the world, and people call her the reincarnation of Guanyin.

"Master, these five taels of silver are the sesame oil money for your temple, you must accept it, by the way, you don't have to say thank you, this is what we should do."

After the ceremony, Qin Duan took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the monk and said, The Mu family gave Qin Duan a hundred taels of sesame oil money, but Qin Duan thought about it, these monks have nothing to consume except for eating, and it is a waste to give them so much money.

Another point, as the old saying goes, "When a man is rich, he becomes bad, and when a woman becomes bad, he is rich", for the sake of these monks, Qin Dujue is still a little tired by himself, and the rest of the money, he helps them spend money, who makes himself a good person.

"Thank you, donor!"

The monk said a little depressedly, this Mu family is a big family in Liyuan County, when the people of the Mu family came to incense, they didn't donate a hundred taels of silver, this Mu family's aunt is too stingy, just five taels of silver, and kept saying that he didn't want to thank him, in fact, he didn't want to say thank you, really, and he was not afraid of losing the identity of the Mu family's son-in-law.

"Xiaocui, give five hundred taels of sesame oil to this master."

Mu Yunxi said to her maid Xiaocui, Mu Yunxi knew that although her fiancé had been in the Mu family for five years, and the Mu family had not sent him any money, he couldn't just give five taels of silver, which was a great disrespect to the Bodhisattva.

"Yes, miss." Xiao Cui answered, took out a few silver tickets and handed them to a monk in the main hall.

"Five hundred taels!"

Qin Du was a little dumbfounded, what a fucking loser, five hundred taels is gone, this money is spent too fast, she has already given five taels, she actually gave it back, even if you have money, you can't be so willful, don't you know that money is hard to earn?

Qin Duan's heart is dripping blood, how can she say that Mu Yunxi is her own woman, isn't her money her own money?

It seems that when she moves out of Mu Mansion in the future, this financial work must not be handed over to her, otherwise no matter how much money she has, she will be defeated by this loser.

"Thank you, donor."

Zhike Seng happily took the silver ticket, or the female donor is more generous, this male donor's character is not good, he is really not worthy of this beautiful female benefactor, Zhike Monk thought to himself.

If Qin Duan knew the thoughts of this knowledgeable monk, he would definitely take back all the silver taels.

After the incense, the three of them were wandering around the temple, after all, it was difficult to come out once, so they went back, wouldn't it be very boring.

There are many people in front of Yunshan Temple, but now the back is very quiet, the whole temple covers an area of quite light, there are several places where the scenery is very good, Mu Yunxi and Xiaocui are quite interested in chatting and watching, Qin Du is a little listless, looking like he didn't sleep well.

First, I went to the release pond to make a wish, and then walked through the release pond and slowly walked to the hill behind the temple.

The whole temple, the halls and corridors, the pavilions and pavilions, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the roads are vertical and horizontal, the flowers and plants are everywhere, the trees are verdant, and the people are also open-minded in the meantime.

Listen to Mu Yunxi said, this temple in the monks nearly thousand, flourishing for hundreds of years, poets and inkmen, celebrities, leaving countless footprints, but also left countless precious poems, paintings and ink treasures, that is, the current literati and scholars still often hold poetry meetings here, and therefore, every time the big exam comes, the incense in this nunnery will be extremely vigorous, and the students have to come here to worship the Buddha before the exam.

The three of them walked on the path between the mountains, stood on a high place and looked down, the mountain gate hall, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion and the east and west side halls, the side buildings, the layout of the temple was clearly seen.

Further up to a pavilion, Qin Twilight stood aside admiring the stone carved scriptures in the pavilion, fortunately, Qin Twilight found that the text of this Great Qin Dynasty is basically the same as the traditional Chinese characters in the previous life, for Qin Twilight, who graduated from the Chinese Department, these are difficult for him, so that Qin Twilight does not have to be illiterate in this world.

"Miss, I have already inquired, it is said that in this temple, this spring water is the most magical, it does not freeze in winter, the water is hot, but it is very cool in summer, drink a few sips, it is said that those who drink this water can grow wisdom, and the red dust troubles are gone, everyone who has come to this temple has to drink a sip, let's drink some of it."

Xiao Cui rested for a while, then took Miss Mu's hand and came to a spring on the side of the pavilion.

The spring water here is indeed crystal clear, Mu Yunxi washed his hands, picked up the water, took a sip, and suddenly felt refreshed and sweet.

"Brother Qin, your spring water is really good, you can also come and take a sip." Mu Yunxi shouted to Qin Dui, and now Mu Yunxi's heart has completely accepted Qin Dui.

"Okay, I'll drink some too, see if I can make people smarter and refreshed, if only I could eliminate all the troubles of Hongchen."

Qin Du said with a smile, people also crowded on the side of the spring water, giggling and drinking the spring water, and going on an outing with the beauties, which is just happy.

"Uncle, you must not go away with all the troubles, in that case, you will become a monk, hehe." Xiao Cui said with a grin.

"Become a monk, I can also marry you." Qin Du said with a grin.

"Uncle, you are talking nonsense, how can a monk marry a wife and have children, then won't he become a flower monk?" Xiaocui said.

"Who made you so beautiful, no matter how high my Dharma is, I can't resist the temptation of two such beautiful women~." Qin Duan looked at the two beauties with bright eyes and said.

"Brother Qin, you are so annoying, this is the pure land of Buddhism, how can you make such a joke." Mu Yunxi glanced at Qin Duan and said.

……

After strolling around until noon, the three of them returned to their rooms in the backyard of the temple and had a delicious vegetarian meal.

"Brother Qin, I'm tired, I want to rest first and go back later, okay?" Mu Yunxi said to Qin Duan with a tired face.

Like Mu Yunxi, who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out of the second door, if you walk a little more, you will be tired, which is why women in ancient times were more frail and sickly.

"Then you can have a good rest, and I'll go out with Xiaocui again." Qin Du said.

"Uncle, I'm also very tired, I also want to rest." Xiao Cui fell into bed like Miss Mu and said lazily.

"I'm tired too, why don't we rest together." Qin Duan said ill-intentionedly, his eyes shining on the two beauties.

"Don't, Brother Qin is a temple here, you're going out soon." Mu Yunxi blushed and said, her fiancé is so thick-skinned.
