Xiao Muning stretched out his hand to help Lin Qingwan get into the carriage, and after the curtain was lowered, Lin Qingwan put away his smile, leaned against the wall of the car, lifted the curtain in a corner, and whispered to Xiao Muning outside, "Is the prince still satisfied with the performance of the courtiers?" ”

Xiao Muning pretended to be stupid and asked, "Performance?" What is the performance? Aren't we childhood sweethearts, two little guesses? ”

Lin Qingwan didn't expect his ear to be so good, he heard the conversation between her and Xiao Tan just now, since that's the case, don't go around in circles, then open the skylight and say something!

"Lord Wang, you and I know the reason why you live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will give you face, and it is not for nothing to accompany you to act." Lin Qingwan said in a showdown.

Xiao Muning directly opened the curtain and looked directly into Lin Qingwan's eyes with affection and a smile in his eyes, causing the lively passers-by to exclaim. "Sister Qingwan, are you going to talk to me about the conditions?"

His move also startled Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingwan looked at him for a while, but due to the lack of aura, he was finally defeated, and replied stubbornly, "Then the prince can't always let me suffer!" If I encounter any crisis in the future, you have to help me no matter what you say! ”

Seeing Lin Qingwan's blushing appearance due to nervousness, the smile on Xiao Muning's face deepened, and he approached the car window and asked, "When will I not help you?" You little conscienceless! ”

Ruoying reminded behind him, "Lord Wang, Mrs. Lin is out!" ”

Xiao Muning lowered the curtain in his hand, blocking their view, leaving her alone in the carriage to reflect on what he had just said.

Lin Qingwan also wondered, how could he help her! I haven't had it before!

Mrs. Lin got into the carriage, Xiao Muning rode a horse and walked in front, and the carriage and horses of the Xiangfu went all the way out of the city and went straight to the Fachan Temple outside the city.

The suburbs of Kyoto are beautiful in the summer season. A shady bamboo forest and a clear babbling river, covered with vegetation on the mountains in the distance, look lush!

This is Lin Qingwan's first time out of the city, and the air in the suburbs makes people feel very free. She opened the curtains and admired the scenery along the way, the earth, the grass, the flowers, everything was so comfortable.

The Fazen Temple, where the incense is very prosperous, is located in the middle of the mountain in a quiet environment, built on the mountain and integrated with nature. The bells in the temple echo in the mountains, and the sound is long and long.

Xiao Muning helped Lin Qingwan and them get out of the carriage, and the high steps led straight to the entrance of the temple, and there were really many people who came to worship the Buddha and worship incense. Lin Qingwan looked east and west, and after a while, he fell behind the team.

Xiao Muning stood where she was, waiting for her to approach, "Haven't you been to Fachan Temple before?" ”

Lin Qingwan picked up her skirt and asked rhetorically, "Didn't the prince hear?" The courtier's daughter lost her memory after she came back to life! Even if you've been here before, you don't remember! ”

Xiao Muning didn't speak, and walked up the stairs side by side with Lin Qingwan. Thinking of the situation reported to him by his subordinates before, it seems that the amnesia does not seem to be fake.

Lin Qingwan glanced at Xiao Muning in contemplation, "Don't doubt it, the princess is really amnesiac!" ”

Xiao Muning, who was seen through his heart, was slightly embarrassed, Lin Qingwan looked at him and asked, "I didn't expect the dignified prince to be so idle, he didn't have to go to the early court, and he still had time to accompany us to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha." ”

Xiao Muning said with a smile, "My father didn't arrange an official position for me, wouldn't it be boring for me to go!" It is also just the right time to cultivate more relationships with my future princess. Right! Princess-to-be? ”

Lin Qingwan sneered a few times, and whispered angrily, "If this is the idea of the prince, then there is one more thing that is boring for himself!" The prince might as well use his mind on how to return to the court. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Muning felt more and more that the thirteen-year-old girl in front of her was far from being as innocent and harmless as she looked, but in fact, her heart was very deep!

In the main hall, the tall golden-bodied Buddha statue is full of sentient beings.

Lin Qingwan and Xiao Muning stood in the no-man's land by the door, looking up at the Buddha statue, and Mrs. Lin knelt and prayed on the worship mat alone.

Xiao Muning glanced at Lin Qingwan, "It's all here, don't you want to say goodbye?" ”

"At the Lingshan Meeting, the World-Honored One showed the crowd flowers, and when everyone was silent, Venerable Weikyaye smiled. It can be seen that the Zen of Buddhism is all in the human heart, which is the cycle of cause and effect, and who has not tasted the eight sufferings of this world. All living beings worship the Buddha, just to have peace of mind! The courtiers are very at ease, and they don't need to pay homage! Lin Qingwan clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at the Buddha statue and said.

Xiao Muning savored Lin Qingwan's remarks, which were quite Zen, "Your words are going to anger those ascetic cultivators!" ”

Lin Qingwan shook his head, "Whether it's asceticism or pleasure, it's all your own choice, who can judge whose choice!" ”

Mrs. Lin got up and walked over, blaming Lin Qingwan, "Look at the two of you, even if you come, you don't bow to incense, this is quite a tacit understanding." Wan'er, you weren't like this before! ”

Lin Qingwan lowered his head and smiled without saying a word.

They were about to walk around the temple when a little monk walked out of the inner courtyard of the main hall, "Excuse me, the donor is His Royal Highness the county lord?" ”

They stopped, and Lin Qingwan replied suspiciously, "Exactly, dare to ask the little master what is the matter with me?" ”

"Zen Master Zhihong knows that the donor will come today, and he will wait in the meditation room when he returns." The little monk said respectfully.

After listening, Lin Qingwan was even more puzzled, "Who is Zen Master Zhihong?" Why are you waiting for me? ”

Mrs. Lin was overjoyed, and stepped forward and said, "Zen Master Zhihong is a high-ranking monk in our Dayu country, and not everyone can easily see it." ”

"The Zen master said that the county lord is a person who is destined for my Buddha, so he specially waited here."

Everyone present looked at Lin Qingwan, after she entered the temple, she didn't pay homage to incense, and she didn't bow down, such a cold-eyed bystander actually had a relationship with the Buddha. Especially Xiao Muning, who listened to her remarks just now, does the Buddha like her kind of practice that finds a different way?

Xiao Muning whispered to Lin Qingwan, "I heard that this great Zen master is not easy for even my father to see him!" Now that I want to see you, aren't you curious? ”

Hearing Xiao Muning say this, Lin Qingwan was very interested in this Zen master, and stretched out his hand to signal, "Please lead the way!" ”

Xiao Muning stepped forward, "This king will accompany Sister Qingwan over!" ”

But the little master politely refused, "The prince forgives the sin, and the Zen master said that only the county lord should go alone." ”

Lin Qingwan turned around and said, "It's good for the courtiers to go by themselves!" The prince and his mother walked around the temple, and I came later! ”

After speaking, she followed the little master to the meditation room where the guests were gathered, which was quiet and unoccluded.

The little monk opened the door, "Don't worry, the county lord doesn't worry, few people come here, you can rest assured to talk about Buddhism with the Zen master!" ”

After Lin Qingwan entered the door, the little monk closed the door from the outside, only to see an old monk with a white beard and kind eyebrows, sitting on a futon and meditating, with big Zen characters hanging on the wall behind him

Lin Qingwan walked over and bowed in front of him, "Zen Master Zhihong, in Xia Lin Qingwan, I heard that I was invited to come and see you!" ”

The old monk slowly opened his eyes, "Lord Lin Shi is polite, please take a seat!" ”

Lin Qingwan turned his head and followed his gaze, saw the stool next to the round table, and walked over to sit down.

The old monk looked at her, "Has Master Lin ever thought about taking refuge in Buddhism?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled lightly, "I don't hide it, I never thought about it!" Life in the world, living in the present, not knowing the past life and not asking about the next life, if you just jump out of the red dust and watch everything in heaven and earth with cold eyes, wouldn't it be too boring! ”

"Even if you taste all the things in the world, it doesn't matter if people are warm and cold?" The old monk asked.

Lin Qingwan nodded, "If fate should be like this, I am willing to accept it, but I want this life to be wonderful and have no regrets!" ”

The old monk sighed lightly, "Since Master Lin said so, the old man has nothing to say, I wish Lord Lin Shi a great understanding of this trip!" With that, he continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

Lin Qingwan was more confused than when she came, and asked her to come here just to say this? She slowly stood up and walked out of the door, just stepped out of the threshold, only to hear the voice of the old monk in the room behind her, "The old man hopes that Lord Lin will wake up from a dream and still not change his original intention." Before he could finish speaking, the door was shut.

Lin Qingwan looked back blankly, looking at the closed door and a little distracted, until the little monk who sent her over called her back. As she walked out of the temple, she suddenly remembered a couplet she had read, 'Although the rain is great, it does not moisten the grass without roots, and the Dharma is not wide enough for those who have no cause.' ’

She looked back and listened to the bell from the temple, shook her head and chuckled, someone actually persuaded her to become a monk!

On the way back, Lin Qingwan was pondering repeatedly, Zen Master Zhihong's last words were a little heavy, is he a god stick? Or do you really know something? Will he be the key to going back?

Since she came back from seeing Zen Master Zhihong, the state of the whole person has changed, and everyone has seen it, but they don't dare to come forward to ask.

Ruoying rode a horse and looked back at the carriage, stepped forward and whispered to Xiao Muning, "Lord Wang, what did you say to our princess-to-be that this great Zen master can say!" This man has changed so much since he came back! Could it be that the great Zen master had a premonition that there was something strange about the county lord's resurrection from the dead? ”

Xiao Muning was also curious, "This king also wants to know, but the great Zen master has never seen people easily, but now he is deliberately waiting here." What is so special about her? ”
