Chapter 89: Two Hexagrams
Because of the arrival of the Queen Mother in the winter moon, Qingjue Temple became famous in the capital.
Even so, in the wax moon when the dripping water turned into ice, there were not many idlers who would not go to the Ci'en Temple, where the incense was flourishing in the city, but went all the way to Tangshan to make incense.
On this day, several unusual nobles came to the temple.
The little monk saw it from afar, and hurriedly ran back and shouted to the abbot: "Master, Master, another fat sheep is coming!" Hurry up and pick up the guests! ”
The abbot shook his beard and scolded: "Stinky boy, you can talk nonsense!" What a fat sheep, picking up guests, full of foul language, and not afraid that the Buddha's grandfather will thunder and smash you! ”
The little monk defended aggrievedly: "Obviously, you said that Qian'er Laba gave porridge and rice to the villagers of Sili and Eight Townships, and emptied the family's funds, so you should be vigilant and solicit customers...... Besides, don't you always teach us that the Buddha sits in his heart when wine and meat pass through his intestines? When the apprentice speaks, there is no distraction, and the color is empty, but Master, you want to tilt to the side, and it can be seen that Master ......"
The abbot hurriedly got up and stopped the little monk from talking.
"It's just that, it's not good for the teacher. As a teacher, I will pick up guests, is it a man or a woman, how many people are there? Alas, it is said that the old man can speak well, how did he accept such an apprentice? Ming'er has to send him out to travel, otherwise he will be angry with him......"
The abbot sent the little monk away, greeted him with an expressionless face, and happened to take a look at the visitor.
He recited a sentence of Amitabha Buddha, and was about to show his skills of looking at his appearance and calculating, and came up with an absolutely attractive opening sentence.
However, when the abbot's eyes fell on the face of the young girl who had just taken off the fence, he was stunned, and the typed draft was swallowed by himself, and it was replaced by a sentence.
"The female benefactor is born with a good face, isn't she a local in the capital?"
This question was a bit nondescript, and Huo Yanzhi, who was disguised as an ordinary noble son, immediately frowned.
On that day, he only sent the Queen Mother to the foot of the mountain, and did not go up the mountain himself, so he did not see the abbot. At this moment, when I saw that I didn't take the initiative to talk, and the logic of the question didn't make sense, I felt that the other party was not a serious monk. At least, it's not the legendary abbot master who is proficient in Buddhism and has a lotus tongue.
Unexpectedly, Zhiwei actually smiled kindly.
"The master has a good memory. The little girl's mother had been to your place several times, and she thought that the master had come to see her. ”
She pursed her lips and smiled, there happened to be something wrong in the shop today, and Jinxiu couldn't accompany her, otherwise, with the good memory of this master, maybe she would be able to recognize Jinxiu.
He suddenly said: "In this case, the wish of the female benefactor should be fulfilled." Two donors, please come in with the old man! The small temple is cold, the financial resources are insufficient, and the little monks are very good at kung fu, but they are not good at cleaning, so please pay more attention to your feet. ”
Huo Yanzhi's face was blank.
This monk not only made friends when he came up, but also opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say that he had no money, and he was definitely not a reliable monk!
It's a pity that Zhi Wei couldn't guess his thoughts, because he saw that he had no attitude and affinity, and he didn't play meditation casually, plus Su's layer, he couldn't help but feel close, and the person who didn't talk much took the initiative to talk to Wu a lot.
After going back and forth, before he reached the main hall, Huo Yanzhi had already guessed most of the words from the mouths of the two.
"It turns out that the Su family and this small temple still have such a relationship, no wonder the little girl wants to come here to pray for the Buddha. It's a nice place, built on a cliff and surrounded by mist......"
After a short time, everyone came to the not majestic Mahavira Hall.
The abbot was united with Zhi Wei and Huo Yan.
"The two donors want to make incense, and this is it. If you want to unsign, light the lamp, and distinguish the law, the old man will wait in front of the chanting hall at the back. With that, he drifted back.
After stopping her steps, she suddenly realized that Huo Yanzhi hadn't said a word since she came in, but she kept chattering, and even walked a step faster.
Her face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "It's the people's daughter who has trespassed, Your Majesty ......"
"Okay, didn't you say that you wouldn't call me that outside?"
Huo Yanzhi grabbed her shoulder, and with only a little strength, he gently and skillfully pushed her into the hall.
"Aren't you going to put incense? Go ahead, I'll walk around outside and wait for you by the way. ”
Zhiwei bit her lip, and finally nodded with a red face, and went in accompanied by Jiangxue.
Jiang Xue's eyes were quick, and she took three pillars of fragrance and lit it for Zhi Wei to light with her own hands, and stood aside with a stick, waiting for Zhi Wei to salute and shake it.
Zhiwei bowed three times, closed her eyes slightly, and muttered words in her mouth.
After a long time, she got up and put the incense in her hand into the incense burner.
The process of shaking the lottery cylinder was much faster, and after a crisp snapping sound, an old lottery fell onto the futon.
Jiang Xue picked Zhi Wei up, and was about to lead her to the back to find the master to unsign, but Zhi Wei stood aside with a smile and asked her to ask for a sign for herself.
Jiang Xue was a little embarrassed, looked left and right, and found that His Majesty had long since disappeared, and he didn't know where he had gone, so he had the courage to kneel down and begged for peace and wealth for himself at a very fast speed.
The two girls each took a sign and walked back, but the strange thing was that they didn't see Huo Yanzhi after turning around, but half of the several guards who came over today followed them closely.
"Strange, why did Childe suddenly disappear? Isn't it too fast, go to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery? ”
Zhi Wei said: "It's possible. Let's quickly untie the signature and go look for him. ”
The second daughter stopped a little monk to ask for directions, only to know that the Buddha Hall was not directly behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but in the west, and she had to turn around from the side path.
Walking and walking, Zhi Wei saw the pitted low wall next to her, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Although the incense in this Qingjue Temple is not prosperous, the place is not small. The pattern is quite atmospheric, the Buddha statue in the hall is also simple and elegant, unlike when I lived in the countryside when I was young, what golden-bodied Buddha is popular there, the Bodhisattva kings are all painted colorful, quite scary. It's in disrepair, a color of decay, it's a pity~"
Jiang Xue smiled: "What the girl said is true. However, the girl knows that the Buddha statue in this Qingjue Temple was not so colorful at the beginning? Perhaps, it was only after a hundred and eighty years that the paint fell off and looked so primitive. ”
Zhi Wei shook her head, knowing that Jiang Xue deliberately said this, in order to dilute her worries about her mother's whereabouts, she also smiled.
Turning past these two narrow low walls, Zhi Wei saw a familiar piece of cyan clothes.
She poked her head out, and sure enough, she saw Huo Yanzhi's long body standing tall, talking to Abbot Wu under the eaves, but her face was not very good-looking.
Zhi Wei resisted the urge to curtsy him, and walked over calmly.
"Childe, master, this is the signature of the two of me, please explain it to the master."
Li Wuxian took the two sticks, looked at each of them, and asked after a moment of silence: "Let the boat return from the rapid water beachhead, what is the desire of the storm to make waves." If you want to seek stability in peace, wait for the waves to calm down and pass this danger. Does the girl want to ask about marriage, family, or wealth? ”
Zhi Wei's face was dyed with a layer of red again, and she didn't dare to look up at Huo Yanzhi, so she only whispered, "Ask your family for safety." ”
As if he had heard it, and as if he hadn't heard it, he stroked his beard and said seriously: "This lottery is a winning lottery, not good or bad, good and bad." Self-blessing, marriage is not good, family is blessed, looking for people is difficult to return......"
Huo Yanzhi was extremely sensitive, and when he heard the word "marriage", he began to be afraid, and when he heard the "difficult to find someone" later, he was completely weak-hearted, and simply interrupted this seemingly mysterious explanation with a black face.
"What does it mean to be married? Don't talk about it, you monk! ”
Master Wu said helplessly: "The monks don't speak, and the old man interprets it word by word according to the signature." You see, this storm is not a good sign, but as long as you wait with peace of mind, most of you will get through this misfortune. Although this sign is mediocre, it is not dangerous......"
Zhi Wei hurriedly asked: "Master, you said that it is difficult to return to find people, and you said that the family house is a blessing, but what if you want to find your family?" How can this be solved? ”
"This ......"
He hesitated and asked, "I don't know where the female benefactor is looking for?" If you can provide that person's birth date, the old man may be able to take a hexagram for him. ”
Zhi Wei smiled bitterly: "I don't know my mother's eight characters, I only know her birthday......"
Wu was taken aback, but he didn't speak, took out a few straw sticks with his left hand and fiddled with them on the table, but his right hand turned the rosary in his hand, his lips moved slightly, and he seemed to have begun to calculate.
Huo Yanzhi concealed the news of Zhiwei Su's disappearance, and he didn't have enough confidence in his heart, he didn't want to wait here to see the monk deceive people, and he didn't want to go away and be really calculated by the monk to say it, and he was in a dilemma.
None of them suddenly frowned.
"I'm afraid this hexagram is a bit dangerous, but the old man sees that the most dangerous situation has been passed safely, and the female benefactor doesn't have to worry too much."
He smiled and said to Zhiwei: "The mother and daughter of the female benefactor, the old man has seen them, and he has also seen your faces, so I know it in my heart." Both of you are bitter and then sweet lives, the first half of your life is lonely and displaced, and the second half of your life will be rewarded. If there is no accident, you can live to seventy or eighty, and the life expectancy is much less than that of the old man. The female benefactor can rest assured. ”
Zhi Wei pinched a handful of sweat, and after listening to him, the big stone in her heart only fell halfway to the ground.
Although the master said so, who knows if this master is really iron-clad, if he is wrong, his mother is still in danger, so what can he do?
But she couldn't show suspicion, so she could only pretend to be relieved and thank Master Wu.
Li Wu looked at her deeply, sighed slightly, and turned to Huo Yanzhi, who did not ask for a signature.
"This benefactor, do you want the old man to calculate a hexagram for you?"
Although Huo Yanzhi was indifferent on his face, he was still shocked by the hexagram of nothing.
"Weird! Is this monk really a little unsuccessful? He said that the Su clan would be in danger, and it just so happened that the Su clan was lost near Baixiang County a while ago, and some passers-by said that they saw the traces left by the horse bandits......"
He froze and said indifferently: "No need, I don't believe in the way of gods and Buddhas." ”
Seeing this, Zhi Wei smiled and played a round game.
"In that case, Master Lao will untie this lottery for her."
Li Wu patted his head and said embarrassedly: "I almost forgot that there is another one, don't blame the female donor." The old man is getting older, and his memory is getting worse and worse......"
Jiang Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "The master said that he was laughing. The master of labor calculates the career future for the little girl. ”
He sighed, his face was a little strange, and even Zhi Wei was taken aback.
She thought that Jiang Xue was the same as her, she had been in the palace for many years, and what she wanted to know most was the safety of her family, but she didn't expect this girl to ask about her career future!
Zhi Wei couldn't help but think, "Is it possible, does this girl want to be the master of the Shanggong Bureau and a first-class female official?" ”
Li Wu squinted at Jiang Xue's stick, and chattered without thinking.
"The female donor is also a winner, although there are some small twists and turns in the middle, but where there is a will, there is a way, if you can persevere, you will be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon......"
Huo Yanzhi said expressionlessly: "Since the solution is over, let's go." ”
Although Zhi Wei was still a little worried in her heart, compared to her worries, she had eased a little at the moment.
Her eyes were shining, and she suddenly smiled at Huo Yanyi: "Childe, it's hard to get out of it, why don't you go outside and take a look around?" The house is deep, and such mountain views are rare. ”
Huo Yan's heart was ironed, and his expression looked a little better.
The two were leading the others away, but unexpectedly, Master Wu suddenly spoke.
"If this benefactor can trust the old man's words, the old man will give you a word."
Huo Yanzhi looked at it, and somehow his scalp suddenly tightened, and he intuitively felt that the old monk couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth.
He turned around indifferently and only threw down a sentence: "Thank you, master, but I only believe in myself, never in fate." ”
Zhi Wei felt something in her heart, and looked back at nothing.
I saw that the old monk was dressed in a gray monk's robe, standing proudly in the cold wind, and Xiao Suo's expression was slightly worried.
When the people were far away, he muttered: "There is a black gas hidden in the center of the eyebrows, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster in the near future." If you insist on going your own way, most of them will harm others and ......"
A cold wind blew, and Zhiwei shivered from the cold.
She looked back suspiciously again, vaguely feeling that the old tree under the eaves seemed to say something, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
