Although it was the first time to come to the White Horse Temple, Yi Xue relied on the clothes and etiquette that she had learned in the palace, and she could basically guess the third-class nine grids of these Buddha halls, and successfully found the so-called West Temple.

Yi Xue pushed open the small door, as Shen Xing said before, the group room is a temporary storage of all kinds of Buddhist supplies, prayer beads, Buddha incense, treasure covers, incense burners, wooden fish, etc., neatly placed on the shelves, on the other side are some Buddhist monks daily necessities including, monk clothes, Buddha hats, monk shoes, etc., Yi Xue's fingertips brushed lightly across the countertop, not stained with dust, it seems that someone often cleans, Yi Xue can't help but feel tight.

Yi Xue gently closed the door, the whole room instantly became dim, the only light was a small window in the courtyard that was half-open, although there was no one, but Yi Xue still bowed over, tiptoed under the window, from time to time cautiously poked her head out, the deer's eyes looked around smartly, so that she could judge everything around her.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of her own breathing remained.

I don't know how long it took, the sun rose three poles, the sun was getting brighter, and in the house where Xue Xue was, the light became stronger, and Xue Xue also faintly heard the footsteps of the crowd, her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and soon the sound of chanting came again, and the sacrifice began!

In this way, everything was carried out in an orderly manner as Sima Cheng said, and Yi Xue's hanging heart was able to relax a little.

Suddenly, the sound of tapping the wooden fish sounded in Yi Xue's ears.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

Yi Xue was taken aback, could it be that there was someone in the West Side Palace? Didn't all the monks go to the main hall?

This is not just knocking on the wooden fish, the dull sound of collision is also knocking on the heart of the snow. But fortunately, although the sound of the wooden fish was clear, the interval was long, and it did not cover the chanting sound of the main hall in the distance, and the two sounded alternately in the ears of Yi Xue.

The fairy sound is fluttering, and the meditation room is empty.

The sound of chanting lasted for a long time, and finally stopped, Yi Xue estimated that it should be the time for the Queen Mother to enter the palace, her heart hung again, and the time for her to walk out of this room was getting closer and closer, she looked up at the gray and yellow earth dome in the group room, and what appeared in her mind was Sima Cheng's face, his evil smile, his gaze, and his lonely shadow under the moon...... Yi Xue quickly shook her head, interrupting her own thoughts.

……

On the side of the main hall, the Empress Dowager Xun was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and with the support of her personal maid Yao Xiu, she walked into the palace in a hurry, followed by the palace people, led by the two stewards and eunuchs Song Gao and Cao Renbai.

Now the Empress Dowager Xun clan, was also a great scholar clan in the north of Dayu, on the occasion of the founding of the country, the ancestors were the courtiers and elders, and made suggestions and suggestions for Dayu, and they were famous. But it's a pity that the officialdom is like a play, the courtiers push the secret, the appearance is detached, the Xun family is not good at power, although the successor has a talented son, but can only barely get an official and a half position in the court, in order to seek the emperor's blessing, the Xun family can only learn from other ministers in the end, and can only send their daughter to the palace, this is the Empress Dowager Xun.

Although Empress Dowager Xun entered the palace later than Yi Xue's mother Tao Luoyang, she also gained a place in the heart of Emperor Sima Liao because of her good face and good at playing the piano.

The personal maid Yao Xiu is already a big palace maid in the Empress Dowager's palace, and she was brought by the Empress Dowager Xun from her mother's house, needless to say, the two stewards and eunuchs behind her, Song Gao is just like Jiang Shangyi As for Tao Guifei, she is the steward of the Empress Dowager's palace, and Cao Renbai on the side was originally just a grass in the corner of the wall, and when Yi Xue was still in the palace, he was just a little-known little eunuch, who knew that in just a few years, he had become the chief eunuch in the inner palace, and now, even Song Gao in the Empress Dowager's palace had to look at his face.

Ning Ying followed the team of maids in the Empress Dowager's palace and stood at the end, while Jiang Shangyi followed the team and waited outside the main hall.

The monks made way for the Empress Dowager Xun and others, and after the Empress Dowager Xun entered the main hall, the abbot of the White Horse Temple began to recite the blessings and transcend the souls of the dead. Empress Dowager Xun folded her hands, closed her eyes and knelt in front of the Buddha statue, whether it was a palace person or a monk, they all bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and listened to the baptism of the Buddha devoutly.

Sima Cheng, who was sitting on the roof, had already slightly removed a roof tile to take in all this. Even with such a large formation, Sima Cheng's face still didn't show an extra look, and after a glance at the scene below, he no longer stared at it, he sat leisurely on the roof, with the white clouds and the birds on his back, but he felt that the sun was a little dazzling, and he couldn't help but squint.

The abbot turned the Buddha beads, chanted words in his mouth, and recited the Buddha language that everyone could not understand, and the first day was bright and solemn.

But things are going to be the same, and when everyone thinks it's all right to pass, there's always something unexpected going on.

……

Suddenly, the string of the rosary in the abbot's hand was broken, and the Bodhi seeds scattered in all directions, falling on the cool bluestone floor tiles of the main hall.

Everyone in the palace woke up, and Bodhi rolled across the ground with a "gurgling", and it took a while to stop.

The main hall, Khotan is silent.

Empress Dowager Xun was also startled by the voice, opened her eyes, and her face was a little pale.

But the abbot standing in the main hall was not annoyed, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, gave the monk beside him a look, and when he turned around, as if he still had a rosary in his hand, his fingers plucked the air one by one, and continued to chant calmly.

Seeing that the abbot seemed to have nothing happened, the difference and panicked expressions gradually eased, and they closed their eyes one by one and continued to receive the baptism of the Buddha's words.

Among them, Cao Renbai, who had the worst face, squinted at the movements around with his mouse eyes, and saw that the palace people began to listen to the scriptures again, and he slowly squinted his eyes until the end.

Sima Cheng also saw this scene on the roof, and couldn't help frowning.

There is a saying: The Buddha bead is broken, and there is also a disaster.

While the abbot continued to chant the scriptures, a small monk had already crossed the monks in the main hall and hurried to the west side hall.

Although the snow in the group room of the west side hall stopped abruptly when he heard the chanting, he couldn't help but feel nervous, but soon after the Buddha's words came again, he was relieved, and naturally he didn't know what was happening.

Little by little, the footsteps approached the west side hall where Yi Xue was, and Yi Xue suddenly saw a figure, hurriedly dodging, his back against the wall, and the whole person froze there, motionless.

At this time, the sound of the wooden fish that had been coming out slowly also stopped, and the little monk who struck the wooden fish also heard the hurried footsteps, turned his head, and saw the monk who came to him.

"Senior Brother Huihai, why did you come here in a hurry?" The little monk spoke first.

"Oh, it's Senior Brother Hui Lone, the Buddha bead rope chanting in the main hall is broken, and the master asked me to pick it up." Hui Hai, who came here, stopped, and his expression was a little strange, afraid that it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing.

"Then I'll go and get it for my senior brother, I've always taken care of the things in the West Side Hall." Hui Lone's tone was calm as usual.

"It's okay, go get that string of rosewood Buddha beads." Hui Hai scratched his head and stood to the side, panting.

Hui Lin put down the wooden fish hammer and walked towards the group room.

Xue Xue vaguely heard the conversation between the two, accompanied by the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to the group room, Xue Xue hurriedly got up, looked left and right, trying to find a place to hide, but the house was full of hollow wooden frames, and there was no way to hide people.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in a panic, she had to hide behind the door and close her eyes in fear.

The wooden door creaked and was opened.
