In the early morning of this day, the pilgrims of Yunxiao Temple also got up early to pay their respects and watch the ceremony.

Although Yunxiao Temple is famous, it can be located in the deep mountains, and there are not many pilgrims. There are not many monks and pilgrims who can live, and most of them are lay disciples who lead the practice in the temple.

Liang Huanqing and Yuebai got up early to listen to the monks' lectures, and Qin Ruilan and the others couldn't get up until before eating fasting.

At this time, the gate of Shangjing City had not yet been opened, but a group of mysterious people hurriedly left the city gate at dusk and rushed to Yunxiao Temple.

◎

The main hall of Yunxiao Temple, the main hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the incense is the most prosperous, the Buddha statue of the main teacher Shakyamuni Buddha is enshrined, the abbot in the temple, the seat Yuan, and the first one are all in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, praying and preaching for the pilgrims, and sometimes holding the Dharma seat, the pilgrims are often satisfied because they are fortunate enough to listen to the lectures.

Liang Fengmian is the god of war general of the Celestial Empire, who has solved countless border wars for the Celestial Empire, maintained the peace of the people on one side, and is quite loved by the people of the Celestial Empire.

Since he and the Liangfu army were transferred to Shangjing more than ten years ago, there is a peace inside and outside Shangjing, and the mountain bandits in the mountains outside the city have been recruited a lot, only a few mountain villages are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the surrounding villages are much more peaceful than before, adding a peace to the hearts of the pilgrims who travel between Shangjing and Yunxiao Temple.

Since Yunxiao Temple was also protected by the Liang army, the eldest lady of the Liang family came to pray for blessings this time, and the abbot of the temple personally received them in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan came to the Daxiong Hall together, and as soon as they arrived at the door, the abbot Taixu took two little monks to welcome them out.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan hurriedly stepped forward, clasped their hands together, and said respectfully: "Master Taixu." ”

Taixu also folded his hands in return: "Ladies please inside." So saying, he was to lead them into the temple.

Liang Huanqing and the four of them were about to go in, and Xuankong, the eldest disciple behind Taixu, looked at Wei Shen behind them, hesitated for a moment but stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Donor, it is strictly forbidden to wear a sword in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. ”

Liang Huanqing and the others turned around to check the situation after hearing this, Wei Shen vigilantly held the sword on his waist, and was in a stalemate with Xuankong, Qin Ruilan laughed softly: "In this way, it's good that the little general is waiting outside the hall." ”

"No, I can't. The general has instructed you to protect your safety. Wei Shen said stubbornly.

Xuankong folded his hands and saluted Wei Shen and said, "It is strictly forbidden to wear a sword in the Daxiong Treasure Palace. ”

Liang Huanqing looked at the abbot Master Taixu, and saw that the master just stopped and looked at everyone, and did not want to speak. Look at the young and stubborn little monk in front of him, his eyes are firm, he must never let Wei Shen enter the hall with a sword, and Wei Shen holds the sword tightly, neither of them will give in, rather than such a stalemate, it is better to persuade him.

She said, "Wei Shen, unload the sword." ”

Wei Shen glanced at Liang Huanqing, she wouldn't be unaware of the significance of the saber to the soldiers, besides, if there were many pilgrims in the hall, if there were idle people and other things that endangered their safety, he would not be able to explain to the general at all.

Liang Huanqing repeated: "Wei Shen, unload the sword." ”

Xu is Liang Huanqing rarely had such a serious moment, Wei Shen reluctantly unloaded the sword and handed it to the retainers behind him, and ordered: "I will go in and guard closely, you pay more attention to the situation inside and outside the palace outside, and you must not be careless." ”

The retainer took the sword and saluted with fists: "Yes!" ”

Seeing that Wei Shen unloaded the sword, Xuankong no longer stopped him, and the group slowly entered the hall.

The Daxiong Treasure Hall was full of incense, and as soon as she entered the hall, Qin Ruilan couldn't help coughing.

Master Taixu bowed to the Shakyamuni Buddha enshrined in the hall and said secretly: "Amitabha." ”

Turning to Liang Huanqing and the others, he introduced: "This is the master Shakyamuni Buddha." ”

Looking at the gilded Buddha in front of them, Liang Huanqing and others folded their hands and worshiped sincerely: "Amitabha." ”

There were many pilgrims in the hall praying for blessings, and the futon in front of the Buddha was no longer enough, and Master Taixu did not signal his disciples to prepare the futon for Liang Huanqing and others, and they didn't say much, standing quietly aside and waiting.

Wei Shen looked at the noisy crowd vigilantly, for fear that something would happen. Seeing that he was so nervous, Qin Ruilan couldn't help but say softly: "The little general doesn't have to be so nervous. ”

Wei Shen looked at her when he heard the sound, his eyes slightly faded from vigilance, for some reason, Qin Ruilan's soft words could always ease all his nervous or fearful moods.

After waiting for a while, the pilgrims finished praying, and Liang Huanqing and others could burn incense and worship in front of the Buddha statue.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan knelt in front of the Buddha statue, folded their hands, looked at the Buddha statue with reverent eyes, and bowed deeply three times. Xuankong stepped forward to hand them incense, and the two presented the incense in front of their foreheads, kowtowed repeatedly, and then presented the incense to the little master in front of the candle table of the Buddha statue, and they inserted the incense into the altar.

After saluting the incense and candles, Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan stood in front of the Buddha statue with their hands folded, closed their eyes and secretly prayed in their hearts.

After the blessing was finished, Yuebai and Xiao'er each stepped forward to help their young lady up, and Master Taixu folded his hands and saluted, saying: "There are many pilgrims in the main hall, it is inevitably noisy, young ladies please follow the old man to the side hall to talk." ”

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan glanced at each other, folded their hands in return, and said, "Please ask the master to lead the way." ”

Everyone went to the side hall, Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan followed Master Taixu into the side hall, and Yuebai Xiao'er and Wei Shen waited outside the hall gate.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan sat side by side, Taixu sat opposite the two, and there was a delicate small incense burner on the middle table, and a few wisps of tobacco rose among the three of them.

Xuankong pushed the door in with a pot of fragrant tea, which broke the silence.

Taixu took the pot in Xuankong's hand, poured tea for Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan, and said: "This is the unique fragrant tea in Yunwu Mountain, and the monks in the temple call it tea mist. Two young ladies tasted it. ”

"Yes." The two of them picked up the teacup and snorted gently, and in an instant, their mouths were fragrant and intoxicating.

Xuankong put down the pot and was about to go out, Taixu slowly raised his hand to stop him: "Xuankong and stay." ”

Xuankong paused and saluted to the master: "Yes." ”

When Xuankong sat down, Taixu also poured a cup of tea for him, Xuankong was about to raise his hand to take the pot, Taixu opened his mouth and said: "What Miss Liang just asked for in front of the Buddha can be described as marriage?" ”

Xuankong was attracted by his words and didn't go to pick up the pot again, and Taixu just put the pot down.

Liang Huanqing listened, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

Qin Ruilan looked at her and smiled without saying a word.

Master Taixu nodded slowly, unhurriedly tasting the mist in front of him.

Xuankong also looked at Taixu, not knowing what the master was thinking.

Liang Huanqing saw that Master Taixu was no longer speechless, and couldn't help but ask, "What does the master have to say?" ”

Taixu shook his head, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "The person who will leave will leave, one period." ”

Liang Huanqing listened and was silent for a long time, she could hear a trace of strangeness from Master Taixu's words, so she frowned slightly.

She was just about to say something, but Taixu said again: "The old man is just reminding the young lady that when looking at things, remember not only to look at the surface, but often to investigate the truth." The world is impermanent, and there is gathering and dispersing. Even if... Death and life are broad, and they are said with the son. It is also rare to have a clear soul and understand it thoroughly. ”

Taixu's words are intriguing, Xuankong seemed to understand something, folded his hands and saluted Taixu, and said as if reminding: "Master." ”

Taixu smiled, raised his hand again, and said, "Amitabha." ”

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan were confused when they heard this, which showed that this scene was too empty and seemed unwilling to say more.

Liang Huanqing was in a depressed mood at this time, and her face was already unbearable, Qin Ruilan didn't want her to be depressed about this, so she wanted to open the topic, and asked Taixu Xingyu: "I have heard that Master Taixu's palmistry is extremely accurate, and it is rare to have this kind of opportunity to talk with the master on weekdays, and I also ask the master to look at the palmistry for my sisters." ”

Taixu nodded kindly, Qin Ruilan stretched out her hand, Taixu looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Miss Qin is a person who is destined for my Buddha." ”

Qin Ruilan listened, smiled happily, took Liang Huanqing's hand and presented it to Taixu, and said, "What about Huanqing?" What is the future fortune? ”

Liang Huanqing looked at Qin Ruilan, and it was not easy to save her face, and besides, he really wanted to know the future fortune, so he looked at Taixu seriously.

Taixu looked at Liang Huanqing's palm prints, and after half a moment, fine sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, and just when the two were puzzled, he said slowly: "Miss Liang's life is rich and noble, one person is above ten thousand people, and the brilliance is like the sun at noon." ”

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan listened and smiled at each other. Combined with the current situation of the government, isn't the fate of one person under ten thousand people above the crown prince and the final accession of King Jing to the throne?

Whether it was true or not, Taixu's words made the two of them happy, so they kept talking with Taixu until noon, when a monk came to spread the fasting meal, and the four of them went out of the side hall.

The three people outside the hall saw the two young ladies come out and hurriedly greeted them.

Yuebai saw that Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan were smiling so happily, so she smiled and asked, "What did the master say?" Makes you so happy. ”

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan knew the proportions, although they were happy, but if these words were spread, they would inevitably bring trouble to Yunxiao Temple and Master Taixu, so the two tacitly did not speak.

This can make Yue Baixiao'er anxious: "Oh, Miss, you can say it quickly." ”

"I won't say it."

"Say it, say it. We also want to know. ”

"If you don't say it, you don't say it."

The four of them chased and ran away like this, Wei Shen was afraid that they would be in danger, so he reluctantly chased after them.

Outside the door of the side hall, Taixu and Xuankong stood one after the other, looking at the Miss Liangfu and everyone in the distance.

Xuankong asked, "Master Fang Cai still hasn't finished speaking?" ”

Taixu looked at the distant mountains, then looked at the scorching sun overhead, sighed for a moment, and said, "The sun is setting after noon... Flourish and decline. ”

He looked at the backs of Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan again, and said, "The meeting will be set to leave, and one period will be one Qi." This is true of all people. Amitabha. ”

Xuankong clasped his hands together and saluted Taixu, looked at Qin Ruilan's back, and murmured secretly: "There is a fate with the Buddha." ”
