It has always been a tradition in the Great Zhou Dynasty to pray for a double happiness brocade bag for a newlywed girl, so Gu Yilan's proposal was immediately supported by Mu Hongshang and Xie Shurou.

"Let's go," Xie Shurou pushed Mu Hongsheng's shoulder: "If you want to go, go now, get down to business first." ”

"Sister Xie, what's the hurry?" Mu Hongshang smiled all the way, and was pushed by Xie Shurou all the way: "We have a whole day." Grandmother said that it was okay to go back after dinner. ”

"That's naturally the best," Xie Shurou replied with a smile, "Huh? By the way, why didn't you see your master? When you come to visit the temple today, shouldn't he come with him? We play, he recites scriptures, how convenient. ”

"He didn't come," Mu Hongsheng shook his head: "Probably too lazy to follow." My master is actually lazy, so he is the most diligent when he beats me. ”

"It's weird." Xie Shurou muttered in a low voice: "Your Mu Biying has been watching you being beaten by the old monk for so many years, and he is willing to eat this loss?" ”

"I'm wondering too." Mu Hongshang replied: "Biying actually hates my master very much, but they haven't fought, I guess Biying doesn't dare to mess with my master, but I haven't asked it, I'm afraid it will get angry." But these days, Biying can't come out and run around, it's very seriously injured, and it's not easy to raise some, and it's not all right. ”

"Hmm." Xie Shurou nodded, and did not follow the topic, for fear that she would talk about Mu Jinyi's body and arouse Mu Hongsheng's sadness.

The three of them approached the mountain gate of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the monk at the door ran down quickly, folded his hands, and saluted them.

The ladies of large families have to be arranged in advance when they go out, and the Zen room, tea and snacks, and vegetarian food for the ladies to rest have to be prepared in advance, so one day earlier, the steward of the Anguo Mansion has sent someone to Daxiangguo Temple to arrange in advance.

"Hello Master." Gu Yilan, the little housewife who got married, took a step forward and made a blessing to the monk.

"Madame, but the young grandmother of the Anguo Mansion?" The middle-aged monk hurriedly returned the salute to Gu Yilan.

"Exactly." Gu Yilan nodded, and was about to say something, but the middle-aged monk suddenly smiled happily, stretched his neck and looked behind Gu Yilan.

He was not looking at anyone else, it was Mu Hongsheng in a bearded skirt.

"Uncle Junior, you have arrived, Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

The monk knew that the three girls present were stunned. It was still Mu Hongsheng who reacted the fastest, she folded her hands, learned from the appearance of her master Huiming, made a Buddhist salute to the monk who knew the guest, and then asked: "Dare to ask this master, ...... you?"

"The little monk's name is Jingming," the middle-aged monk hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi can directly call the little monk's name." ”

As he was talking, a few monks hurriedly ran out of the mountain gate, led by the one wearing a yellow monk's robe and a red robe, it was none other than Master Wuxiang, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple.

Who is Master Wuxiang? When Empress Wei saw him, she had to give three points. If the princes and nobles of the emperor in Beijing want to see him, they have to make an appointment. Unless the emperor and queen come to the Great Xiangguo Temple in person, who has ever seen him come out of the mountain gate like this?!

Gu Yilan has accompanied Mrs. Gu to worship the Buddha since she was a child, and she has been to Daxiangguo Temple countless times, and she has only seen Master Wuxiang a few times, most of which she saw from afar during the festival.

"Red-robed ......" Xie Shurou looked at the group of monks who were running quickly, and muttered, "You have a big face...... It seems that the abbot master himself came out, and I have never seen such a big battle. ”

Mu Hongshang didn't expect that her seniority would be so high. Half of the monks in Daxiangguo Temple are her disciples and grandchildren, the other half are her teachers and nephews, and the rest are her peers, including the abbot Master Wuxiang.

She doesn't worship Buddha at home, but there is such a large group of monks in the same door??

However, Master Wuxiang is not as serious and lofty as Mu Hongsheng imagined, this great monk is not young, he is sixty years old and upward, he is very kind with his smile, and he chats with Mu Hongsheng at all, one old and one young are really like affectionate brothers and sisters.

"Uncle Huiming is just one of your apprentices," Master Wuxiang personally took on the task of popularizing science for Mu Hongsheng: "The master of the poor monk is called Huijing, and the Huiqing Zen Master of Jinghui Temple, the three of them are out of the same door, when the ancestor of the ancestor cultivated Buddha in Qinglian Mountain, and later Huiqing Zen Master stayed in Qinglian Mountain and built Jinghui Temple, and the master of the poor monk and Uncle Huiming traveled around together, and later, the master of the poor monk took the poor monk to the Great Xiangguo Temple, and then he has been staying here, and passed away a few years ago. ”

"Uncle Huiming, on the other hand, has been wandering outside, and only returned to the vicinity of the capital after the master passed away. The poor monk originally wanted to ask his uncle to stay in Daxiangguo Temple, but he refused, and finally went to Jinghui Temple to find Senior Brother Juejing. The poor monk's previous legal name was Juechen, and after he became the abbot, he changed the legal name of Wuxiang. ”

"That's it......" Mu Hongsheng nodded: "Master has never said this." ”

"Uncle Huiming has always been unrestrained," Master Wuxiang said with a smile, "It is also eclectic to accept apprentices." For so many years, he never thought about accepting apprentices, and as soon as he did, he accepted the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion. ”

Hearing Master Wuxiang say this, Mu Hongsheng was a little embarrassed, she said very honestly: "Master, I don't know if I am counted as Master's apprentice. I didn't kowtow to my master, and the master only taught me martial arts, and nothing else. To tell you the truth, don't laugh at me, Master, I don't understand the Dharma at all, and Master hasn't taught it. ”

"Yes." Master Wuxiang looked indifferent, and nodded at Mu Hongsheng very casually: "The Anguo Mansion has always had no habit of worshiping Buddha, and the poor monks know it. The little junior sister doesn't need to mind this, for the monks, the external form is not so important in the first place. Uncle Huiming accepted apprentices, naturally he has his reasons, he accepted you, not others, which is enough to explain everything. Therefore, there is no need to doubt that although you do not practice Buddhism, you are still the same junior sister of a poor monk. Daxiangguo Temple is your teacher's door, here, you don't need to see outside, just call the poor monk a senior brother. If you dare to call this 'master', the poor monk will not dare to receive it. ”

Calling the old monk in his sixties a "senior brother", Mu Hongshang felt that she had a psychological disorder. She looked at the face of the Master of Phaselessness, and worked hard for a long time, but she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive. Seeing her tangled appearance, Master Wuxiang laughed instead.

"Little junior sister," he compared to Mu Hongsheng: "The poor monk is a monk, you are the monk's apprentice, a person outside the party, don't be bound by those worldly rules." ”
