Chapter 39: Gift of Pearls

Shi Peng and Shi Shuning, Shi Zhenxiang sat in a carriage, Shi Zhenxiang didn't look down on Shi Peng and Shi Shuning, one was born to an aunt who was not favored, and the other was a second room that was not brilliant, but although her father was in business, he had great achievements, and her mother was particularly favored.

Shi Peng also doesn't look down on people like Shi Zhenxiang who are complacent about something, but the two of them have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and Shi Shuning has always been soft and weak, and many times there is no sense of existence, Shi Zhenxiang is too lazy to pay attention.

When I arrived at the temple, the carriage was to stop at the bottom of the mountain, and in order to show her sincerity, the old lady went up on foot every year, and this year was no exception.

Shi Qingqian finally came out, he was like a wild horse that had escaped, every year on the day of the festival, many rich and noble families would come to the temple to pray for blessings, so along the way, it was inevitable to meet acquaintances.

"Big brother, second brother, hurry up." Shi Qingqian stood on the steps and beckoned to Shi Nian and Shi Ke, the old lady and her party were too slow, and they didn't know where they had been thrown to.

"Let's compete to see who can climb to the top of the mountain first." Shi Qingqian looked at Shi Nian and Shi Ke, with a happy smile on his face.

Shi Nian and Shi Ke both responded, but they all agreed to let this Shi Qingqian take three or four steps on the road, on the one hand, they didn't want her to be too tired, and on the other hand, if something happened, the two of them could protect Shi Qingqian as soon as possible.

And Shi Qingqian didn't notice any of these at all, he just climbed the mountain with all his strength.

By the time the old lady and her party went up to the mountain, Shi Qingqian and Shi Nian had already stood beside the little novice who received them and waited for a while.

"Grandmother." Shi Qingqian happily looked at the old lady and beckoned.

After arranging the accommodation, Shi Qingqian followed the old lady to the main hall of the temple, and after burning incense, he was about to leave, but the old man in the monk's robe who suddenly appeared outside the door caused a burst of exclamations.

Shi Qingqian couldn't help but wonder, looking at that person didn't feel anything special, it was an old man with a long white beard, probably because he had been bathing in Buddhist texts all year round, and he had a bit of indescribable momentum.

"It is." That person should be the abbot of the temple, he didn't know what he was looking for in the lobby, and finally his eyes stopped on Shi Qingqian.

Shi Qingqian smiled, and the eyes of the people around her made her feel strange: "Hello abbot, I'm Shi Qingqian." ”

The host looked at Shi Qingqian's appearance, suddenly smiled, and said several good words in a row.

The old lady on one side is a devout believer in Buddhism, and the host can't help but make her a little happy when she looks at her grandson like this, but even the emperor respects three points.

"Host, you're ......"

But who knew that the host suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the old lady's words, and just smiled and folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, the secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

Shi Qingqian on the side was puzzled for a while when he heard it, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, she was not a believer in Buddhism.

"The old man looked at this little girl with a lot of eyes, and thought that she must be a person with Buddha fate." The host looked at Shi Qingqian, and there was a bit of an arc on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Qingqian couldn't help but be wary when he heard this, didn't this bald donkey say that he wanted her to cut her hair and become a nun, and from then on the green lantern ancient Buddha? My mother, she doesn't want it.

Thinking of this, Shi Qingqian couldn't help but shrink a little behind the old lady.

The abbot looked at Shi Qingqian so vigilant, but he didn't mind, but smiled even more happily, reached out and took out an object from his arms that made everyone gasp, and the words he said made people's jaws drop even more: "This string of Buddhist beads is always with me, today the old man will give you this girl, I only hope that you will have the blessing of the Bodhisattva of kindness in the future, and your life will be safe and smooth." ”

Shi Qingqian looked at the string of Buddha beads handed to him, and could smell the faint but refreshing woody fragrance on it, and hesitated a little.

Is it really good to give it to her like this? Why do those people look like their eyeballs are about to fall off?

The grandmother beside her couldn't help but urge when she saw that Shi Qing was not moving, and she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, her little granddaughter was really a baby.

"Thank you, Abbot." Shi Qingqian stretched out his hand and took it.

Later, when the matter spread, Shi Qingqian learned that this Buddha bead was something that the emperor couldn't get, which couldn't help but make her even more depressed, so why did she give it to herself who didn't believe in Buddhism?

Tyrannical creatures.

Shi Shuning stood at the end of the line, looking at the beads in Shi Qingqian's hand, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, it is more difficult to get the favor of the host than to get the emperor's marriage, how can she Shi Qingqian be virtuous!

The old grandmother thanked the abbot and went all the way back to the room: "This girl, really a lucky doll, the first time she came, she won the favor of the abbot, okay, it will be unusual in the future." ”

Chang Mo said on the side: "That's natural, it's the granddaughter of the old lady." ”

After Shi Qingqian returned to the room with his grandmother, he looked at the string of beads in his hand, puzzled, he didn't know what to think, his temples couldn't help jumping, they chattered about what the abbot said, isn't that person able to see that he is not from this world, thinking of this, Shi Qingqian hurriedly got rid of that ridiculous thought, if that person could see it, he should be scared over.

But after sitting in the courtyard and thinking about it for a while, Shi Qingqian still decided to find the host alone.

When Shi Qingqian walked out of the courtyard with her front foot, no one noticed that she followed behind her with a pink figure.

I asked several novices along the way, and the abbot gave him beads seemed to be known to the whole monastery, and those novices looked at him with a bit of admiration and respect, which made Shi Qingqian a little uncomfortable.

When I arrived at the abbot's residence, there was a little novice of the same grade as himself waiting at the door, who looked exceptionally well-behaved, but he showed a bit of the monk's usual wooden rigidity, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and his face was flat, and his delicate and handsome face was eye-catching.

But Shi Qingqian inexplicably felt that he was different, not his appearance, but that there seemed to be something more on him, Shi Qingqian didn't know what it felt like at that time, until she was older, she understood that what she felt at that time was the innate Buddha light on this little novice, which was also what the abbot saw in her.

The other party seemed to be waiting for him, and when he saw Shi Qingqian, he made a salute: "Donor." ”

"You know me?" Shi Qing looked at the little novice in surprise.

The little novice nodded a little, and could see the ring scar on his head: "I once heard the abbot mention a person who was destined in a dream, and this Buddha bead should belong to that person." ”

When Shi Qingqian heard this, he was even more confused, in his dream? How did she feel a little mysterious, but before she could react, the little novice opened the courtyard door and let Shi Qingqian follow him in.
