Chapter 248: Seeking Benevolence and Obtaining Benevolence
Seeing my gloomy face, Beilin opened his mouth to comfort me, saying that if I was not at ease, if I left this Yaozhou, let the floating leave.
"Hmm." I nodded slightly.
"Xiyan, I'm hungry!" Hongtu pursed his lips and looked innocent.
"Okay, I'll go and order something delicious for you, and I'll send it upstairs in a while, you wait here, remember, don't disturb Shenjun, okay?" I said half-crouching, staring very seriously into Hongtu's eyes.
Seeing that I was so serious, Hongtu nodded obediently.
I went downstairs and ordered a lot of food, asked the guy to send it to the house, and then invited Mei'er to go to Wanyin Nunnery together.
"Wanyinan? Xiyan, why do you want to go to Wanyinan? What is that place? Nunnery? Float heard the conversation between me and Mei'er and asked.
I looked at the floating face and was unconsciously stunned for a long time.
He really didn't look like a pawn of the priest, but he didn't look like a senior sister in the past.
"Xiyan? Sunset? What happened to you? Why are you looking at me like that? Floating Lian called me a few times and asked suspiciously.
I came back to my senses and shook my head: "Mei'er, let's go." ”
After that, I grabbed Mei'er's wrist and wanted to go out.
Float hurriedly followed: "Shall I go with you?" ”
"No need, we just went to the nunnery to make incense, and besides, Wanyin Nunnery is dedicated to the gods, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it if you go." I'm a person who can't pretend to be, and I can't even look at him directly after knowing his "identity".
"That? Well, you guys go early and come back early. Float hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways to let us out of the house.
When I went out, I also saw the lonely look of Fuyou, but I was a little reluctant in my heart, but I still pulled Mei'er downstairs.
The fellow inquired about the direction of Wanyin'an, and when the man heard that I was going to Wanyin'an to incense, he immediately walked to the door of the inn and pointed to the end of the street, saying that there was a fork in the street at the end of the street, and we chose to take the path on the right, and after walking for a while, we could see the hermitage of Wanyin'an.
"Thank you." I nodded at the guy.
At the market, I bought some incense and walked towards the end of the street with Mei'er.
Along the way, Mei'er looked left and right in amazement, looking at the masks on the side of the stall for a while, and looking into the silk shop for a while, in short, curious about everything.
Moreover, the sadness on her face has gradually faded.
"Mei'er? You? As I walked, I opened my mouth to talk to her, but Mei'er's eyes lit up, and then she smiled at me and asked me to look ahead.
I looked up and looked ahead.
I saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen who stuffed a lantern into the arms of a handsome boy and ran away.
"Oh, sister, look at him, that boy is "stupid"! Mei'er covered her mouth and smiled very happily.
The boy looked at the girl's back in a daze, and suddenly turned around and started running for a long time, with a smile on his face.
It must be that the two are happy, and now they are in a hurry to run back, and they must be asking the people in the family to propose.
"Sister, look, it must be done!" Mei'er looked at the boy and said to me.
I nodded: "It's the most rare thing to be happy." ”
The men and women of Yaozhou are really much happier than the people outside, at least, they allow unmarried men and women to choose their beloved to marry.
"Two lovers?" When Mei'er heard this word, the smile on her face suddenly faded.
Then, she lowered her eyes and said no more.
Presumably, he remembered Zhuo Xingchen.
"Mei'er, when you arrive at Wanyin Nunnery in a while, you are not allowed to run around." I deliberately digressed the subject.
Mei'er nodded: "I know sister, but, sister, why do you suddenly want to go to the incense?" ”
"Actually?" I paused as I spoke, looking at the people coming and going around me, and I didn't tell Mei'er that I was going to investigate the evil demon, but just said to Mei'er, I went to Wanyin Nunnery this time, just to ask for peace for everyone.
Mei'er laughed at me when she heard this, saying that people in this world are all asking for Buddha and God, but God and Buddha, where is there so much thought to help everyone realize their dreams?
"Let's not go to Wanyin Nunnery." Mei'er was not interested in what to ask for peace.
"Eh, little girl, Wanyin Nunnery is the most effective place, ask for benevolence, the incense there is also the most prosperous, and the Guanyin Niangniang enshrined in the nunnery is even more open! You can't slander it! "An old woman happened to be walking behind me and Mei'er on the right side, probably overheard our conversation, so she spoke for Wan Yin'an.
I hastened to explain that we had no intention of slandering.
"Mother-in-law, are you also going to incense?" I looked at my mother-in-law's hand, struggling to carry a large basket of incense and candles, and asked.
My mother-in-law nodded again and again, and I hurriedly reached out to help her carry it.
"Eh, no, no, I have to be sincere, I have to do it myself." The old woman was very stubborn and didn't allow me to help her at all.
"Mother-in-law, that Wanyin Nunnery is still far away, how tired are you holding so many incense candles?" Mei'er looked at the old woman and spoke.
The old woman shook her head: "I don't feel far away if I am sincere, if my legs and feet are fine, I will bow three times and knock on the past." ”
The old woman talked about the Wanyin Nunnery with a pious face, exactly the same as when the guy talked to me today.
"Mother-in-law, what is your request?" Mei'er looked at her puzzled.
The mother-in-law walked tremblingly and didn't respond, but looking at that look, she should have been told by Mei'er.
"Is it for wealth? Still is? Mei'er was young and curious, so she opened her mouth and asked.
"Seeking wealth? What kind of wealth do I ask for at my age? Besides, our Yaozhou is much more peaceful than other places, and I dare not say that it is as luxurious as Shengjing, but at least we have three meals and a house to live in. The old woman replied directly.
"And what are you asking for?" Mei'er is still asking.
"Okay, Mei'er, don't ask." I shook my head slightly at Mei'er, we just met this old woman Pingshui, why do we have to break the casserole and ask the end?
"Ask for help." The old woman was silent for a while, but then she spoke.
She told us that her daughter-in-law has been in the house for seven years, hardworking, docile, and good, but the only thing, and the most important point, is that she has not given birth to children so far, and has not carried on the family lineage for their grandchildren.
"Oh? So that's the case, then I hope that your mother-in-law will come true. I looked at her and said.
The old woman nodded, and said "I hope, I wish" in her mouth, and then she stopped to rest.
Mei'er and I spoke again, trying to help her with her things, but she still refused, so we helped her to walk together.
It didn't take half an hour to walk from the inn we were at to the end of the street, but it took more than half an hour to walk from the fork in the road to Wanyin'an.
