The abbot bowed and bowed, and silently led Concubine Chu out.

Seeing this, Liu couldn't help but stand up, as if he wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, he forced himself to hold it down. Ouyang Zhen was slightly surprised in his heart, Liu is a person who hides his joy and anger very well, and everyone in front and behind him is smiling, and now it can be regarded as out of line.

Ming Ying lowered her head and smiled in Ouyang Zhen's ear: "Madam, if this Zen master is so powerful, wouldn't it be better to ask him to show Madame whether he is pregnant with a man or a woman in his belly." ”

Ouyang Zhen's heart moved when he heard this, and then looked at Liu's appearance, and understood a little in his heart. He smiled lightly: "What men and women, the Zen master is not a fortune teller on the street, don't talk nonsense." People are high-ranking monks. ”

The warbler spat out her pink tongue and retracted it.

After a short while, Concubine Chu turned back with joy on her face, and the Liu family finally couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to say earnestly to the abbot Yifu: "Can the abbot introduce him on his behalf?" ”

The abbot looked at her, nodded, and called the Buddha name, and went out first. Liu hurriedly followed.

Ouyang Zhen looked at Concubine Chu carefully, although her face was full of joy, but with a look of doubt, it was still a little later, and the Liu family came back, and there was also joy on her face.

Concubine Chu glanced at her deeply, a complicated look quickly passed through her eyes, Ouyang Zhen was half-covering her face, secretly looking at the expressions on the faces of the two of them, seeing Concubine Chu's eyes, her heart suddenly shivered excitedly.

When several ladies saw that the Liu family could also go, they couldn't help but be ready to move.

The abbot seemed to know their thoughts, and bowed deeply and said: "Zen Master Rongde once said that there is a destined person in the seat, and the female benefactor is now among them. If you don't have a chance, you don't see it. ”

Several ladies exclaimed in surprise and looked at each other.

The abbot looked up at them, and the old eyes that were originally cloudy suddenly became crystal clear, and he understood the situation of the world, and he looked around before he said in the direction of Ouyang Zhen: "It is this female benefactor." Ask the female benefactor to move the jade step and go to meet the Zen master Rongdi. ”

Ouyang Zhen was startled, the fan in his hand stopped, and Concubine Chu and Liu's two pairs of sharp eyes swept over her like electricity. The eyes of the ladies were full of jealousy.

Ouyang Zhen stood up a little embarrassed, and said: "The abbot is polite, the concubine's qualifications are mediocre, how dare you go to see the Zen master, or invite a few sisters to meet is serious." ”

The abbot lowered his head and pronounced a Buddha horn again: "Rongde Zen Master is easy not to see outsiders, please ask the female donor to think again, maybe the Zen master can solve the doubts in the benefactor's life." ”

Ouyang Zhen's heart was shocked, and he almost didn't even think about it, so he nodded.

As if dreamy, she followed the abbot out of the meditation room, and Fang Zheng led her all the way around the left and right, until she came to a remote place, full of desolation, and a lonely wooden house stood in the middle.

The abbot gestured slightly and walked in with her. Ouyang Zhen only felt that what came to his nose was the smell of hay, which was very light, but very long. The room is dimly lit, and there seems to be only one bamboo mat, and a futon made of bamboo leaves is placed in front of the mat.

On a simple bamboo mat sits an old monk with white eyebrows.

The abbot led her in, and then said to the monk: "Uncle Shi, someone who is destined to bring her has been brought." With that, he quietly withdrew.

The old monk bowed his head, as if asleep, and only after hearing the abbot's exit did he slowly raise his head. In the dim light, his face loomed.

When Ouyang Zhen saw it, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, his face was neither young nor young, but he couldn't tell how old he was, but his eyebrows were white, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a knife.

But his eyes—yes, his eyes—were as clear as a child, and as agile as water.

Just a pair of eyes on this aging face is very strange.

Ouyang Zhen took a deep breath and bowed, "Ouyang clan pays a visit to Zen Master Rongde." ”

Zen Master Rongde smiled slightly, the smile was like a Buddha smiling with a lotus, and there was a lot of mystery in a smile.

Ouyang Zhen suddenly mourned in his heart, and tears almost burst out of his eyes. Zen Master Rongde sighed slightly: "Guan Shan is ten thousand, but the female donor is tired?" ”

Ouyang Zhen couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly bent down and cried bitterly.

Her cries flowed like water everywhere in the tiny, dilapidated meditation room. In the light smoke, only the chanting of the Buddha was repeated monotonously, looking down on the small and helpless person in front of him with endless compassion and pity.

Ouyang Zhen only felt that her heart was broken, and the sadness and despair that bubbled out kept flowing out, and she seemed to have returned to the beginning, the years when she laughed just for the sake of laughing, and cried just for crying.

I don't know how long I cried, Ouyang Zhen's heart gradually calmed down. But the heart seemed empty, numb and weary.

After reading the last verse, Zen Master Rongde said slowly: "Does the female benefactor feel better?" ”

Ouyang Zhen knelt on the futon and raised his eyes, his big smart and clear eyes flashed in confusion. She kowtowed and said, "Please ask the master for guidance." ”

Zen Master Rongde smiled slightly: "The donor has his own opinions, why do you need the old man to solve your doubts?" ”

Ouyang Zhen's heart was shocked, and a beautiful face suddenly turned angry, and she kowtowed again: "Please have mercy on the master, there is still a child in the concubine's body, and now I don't know if I live or die." Could the Master please tell us about his whereabouts? ”

Zen Master Rongde praised the Buddha and said: "Amitabha, pity the hearts of parents in the world, the female donor can rest assured, Ling Yuan is very good now, but the day of meeting has not yet come." ”

"When will we see each other?" Ouyang Zhen stepped forward on his knees, his eyes blooming with a dazzling brilliance, and a pair of big black and white eyes shone like glass.

Zen Master Rongde's words ignited a faint hope in her heart. What is more precious in this world than hope?

Zen Master Rongde smiled and shook his head: "There will always be a day when we can meet." The female benefactor is reassured. When it's time to see her, she'll appear in front of you. The stronger you demand, the farther you go. There are many things in the world that cannot be asked for. How could a person who is so transparent as a female benefactor not understand? ”

The brilliance in Ouyang Zhen's eyes gradually extinguished, and she sat on the cold ground in a daze, muttering, "But...... But I think my daughter ,......" she gradually became a little flustered, stood up and said mournfully, "I am afraid that she will not have a good time...... I'm afraid she'......"

Gentle pity flashed in Zen Master Rongde's compassionate eyes, and he said, "Even if she really appears in front of you, what can the female benefactor do?" In the situation of a female benefactor, can she be safe? ”
