Chapter 31: Memories of Killing (18) [Meng Po]
When the queen and others arrived at Anguo Temple, Yu Xinling didn't dare to raise her head and stood in place, and when Sister Xu saw that it was the queen and the prince, she immediately stepped forward to report what had happened, and the queen only frowned when she heard it, but Ruan Shiwan looked displeased, and said, "My father has said it, if you don't like it, you can not salute, your sister-in-law is really not like ......."
"Shi Wan...... "The queen frowned and drank him, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother." Ruan Shiwan retreated resignedly, and reached out to pull Yu Xinling behind him, carefully checking whether she had been hurt.
Qin Yuqin twisted her willow waist and walked over, "Sister Queen is here, it's really a coincidence, Her Royal Highness the princess knelt down, and the Buddha statue just collapsed, fortunately it didn't hurt the queen mother's phoenix body, and the princess was fine, it was really a blessing in misfortune." ”
The queen looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Oh? Sister Ann is also there? It's hard for my sister to come here.,It seems that even if the palace can't worship the Buddha this time.,With my sister's sincerity.,It's enough.。 ”
"My sister is too famous, how can my sister He De be able to replace my sister's sincerity to the Queen Mother? It's just that now that the Buddha statue has been destroyed, how should we worship the Buddha? ”
"Speaking of which, my sister also knows that Zhaoran, this girl, can not salute, why did she pull her to worship the Buddha instead of chatting with Sister Xu?"
"Look at what my sister said, my sister came late, I don't know the reason, how did I know that Ling'er, this girl, can even be rude to the Buddha?"
"You've skimmed it all out, so you've been here for so long, but the Buddha is finished?"
"Why is my sister so hostile to my sister? My sister asked herself that she had always been cautious in her words and deeds in the palace, and she kept to herself, but I don't know what my sister is dissatisfied with my sister? ”
The queen ignored her, and turned her head to look at the princes who had been comforting Yu Xinling, "Is that enough?" Even if the Buddha statue has been destroyed, the process of worshipping the Buddha must be completed, and all the incense will be burned. ”
Yu Xinling looked at the people who scattered and ran to burn incense a little helplessly, and then glanced at the queen again, then lowered her head and pulled the corners of her clothes, and did not dare to say a word.
The queen looked at Qin Yuqin, whose face was not very good, and said majestically, "Since An Jieyu is here, let's follow the ritual law to worship the Buddha, do more and spend less money." ”
"Yes, the concubine is going to worship the Buddha," and then looked up, but saw that the queen had turned her back to her and looked at Yu Xinling at some point, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes, she clenched her fists, and then turned around to burn incense and worship the Buddha as if nothing had happened.
The queen looked at Yu Xinling, who had been silent, and sighed, "It's really the first time I've heard that someone can collapse a Buddha statue when I attack Bai Jun...... Didn't I tell you that no matter who forced me, you shouldn't pay attention? ”
"Stepmother-" Yu Xinling looked up aggrievedly, "Ling'er really didn't pay attention, but someone hit a stone in her knee just now, and as soon as I was in pain, I knelt down ......"
"Alas-" Bai Juan half-squatted down, held Yu Xinling's shoulder, and whispered, "Now that you have made such a big mess, the rumors about you in the city are estimated to be more violent than last time, listen to the words of the stepmother, stay in Anguo Temple for a while, and the stepmother will help you sweep everything away." ”
"Mother-in-law," Yu Xinling leaned over and hugged her, "thank you." ”
"You stupid child," Bai Wei patted her on the back gently, "You have to be careful in the future, no matter how painful it is, you have to endure it, if you are not careful, you may lose something very important!" ”
"Hmm......" Yu Xinling hummed as she lay on her shoulder, "I know, there won't be a next time." ”
"Go to the back room and rest, don't get tired." Xi Baijun stroked her face and turned her head to look at Lotus Dance beside her, "Lotus Dance, you take her to have a good rest, don't let her get tired." ”
"Yes, Niangniang," Lian Wu took the order, and went to bend down to take Yu Xinling's little hand, "Princess, follow the slave maid to the back guest hall to rest." ”
Yu Xinling thought about it for a while, and then nodded, "There is Sister Lao Lianwu." ”
Seeing Lotus Dance take Yu Xinling away, Bai Wei turned around to look at the people who were worshipping the Buddha with his hands behind his back, and looked up and down at An Jieyu and Qin Yuqin, this woman...... On weekdays, she is very low-key, but today is different, she actually came here first, to say that Ling'er knelt down inexplicably and had nothing to do with her, she naturally didn't believe it, she looked at the other concubines, fortunately, there are not many beauties in Ruancuo's harem, and there are only a handful of concubines above the concubine, hey~ No, it is the palace concubine above the concubine who can come to worship the Buddha, what does it have to do with her Jieyu? What is she here for?
The queen lowered her eyes and thought carefully, Qin Yuqin, this woman...... Something is wrong......
——————
When she arrived at the guest hall, Yu Xinling obediently took off her shoes and lay down on the bed, covered with a quilt and poked out her little head and said to Lianwu: "Sister Lianwu, I'm going to sleep when I'm lying down, you go back to serve your stepmother." ”
Lian Wu was worried that she still had something hidden in her heart, "It's okay, I'll stay with you for a while, you can go to sleep." ”
Yu Xinling knew that she was not at ease, and she did not refuse, so she nodded in response to her, closed her eyes and went to sleep obediently.
After a while, Lian Wu repeatedly made sure that Yu Xinling had fallen asleep, and then withdrew with confidence. It's just that as soon as her door was closed, Yu Xinling opened her eyes and sat up gently, with no confusion and weakness in her eyes.
She sat on the edge of the bed with her calves around, her palms dangling in the air, and her fingers tapping the edge of the bed from the tail to her index finger one by one, and she seemed to sigh, "Please come out if you come." ”
Smoke wafted from the potted plant in front of the bed, but in a moment it took on the shape of a human, and slowly transformed into a woman in blue. The woman was born delicately, with a dignified and steady look between her eyebrows and eyes that did not match her face. She came and gave a gift, "Meng Po has seen the girl." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't have a problem with you, I'm afraid I'm looking for you to come here, I'm afraid I'll delay you a lot of time."
Meng Po covered her mouth and smiled, "The girl said that she laughed, she has a lot of time in her old body, so it doesn't matter." ”
Yu Xinling was no longer polite, and spread her hands and said, "I'm also polite, I know that you are idle." ”
After a pause, she asked, "If there is no one to worship the Buddha in the seventh week after the death of a mortal, will it delay reincarnation?" ”
Meng Po immediately smiled, "I said, what do you want to ask about something great......
Yu Xinling puffed out her cheeks and looked at her, "Say it quickly...... It's urgent. ”
"What doesn't hinder it is just a ritual spread by the mortals themselves, and it has nothing to do with the deceased being able to be reincarnated." Meng Po covered her mouth with the help of her wide sleeves and smiled, "The girl has been in this world for a long time, do you really think that mortals can control the underworld?" The rules of this mortal can only restrain themselves. ”
"That's good, I thought that no one would really be able to live forever without worshipping the Buddha......" Yu Xinling hung her head a little embarrassed, and suddenly asked, "Then ...... What about the soul of the royal grandmother? ”
Meng Po didn't know where she took a book, opened it and looked at it, "Today is her seventh week, and noon has passed, so it will be estimated that she will be in Lechuan." After a while, she can bring her a Meng Po soup to drink and go on the road. ”
"So fast?" Yu Xinling was a little surprised, this was the first time she had learned about the process of reincarnation of the reincarnation of the reincarnation of the underworld.
"Yes, many people will die in one day this day, if each of them delays for a long time before they can be reincarnated, then where can such a fragile soul be squeezed in the underworld?"
"Well, that's the case," Yu Xinling leaned against the bedpost, carefully looked at the book in Meng Po's hand, and asked curiously, "Then your book is a record of life and death?" ”
Meng Po subconsciously glanced at the book in her hand, "Sort of, this booklet records the information of the deceased, mortals die, this booklet will record the day of their death, and when they arrive at Lechuan on the seventh week and cross the Naihe Bridge to drink my soup, their information will be erased from this booklet, which can be regarded as reincarnation." ”
"I haven't drunk your soup, so I shouldn't be able to do anything wrong with taking a sip, right?"
"There are nine kinds of soup in my mine, corresponding to the eight sufferings of the world and the monks with complete merits, each of which even your father would not dare to try," she nodded at the tip of Yu Xinling's nose and said with a smile, "You little glutton, how can you try anything?" ”
"Will I forget the troubles of the world after drinking?"
"It's hard to say, this soup, after all, is specially boiled for those in the mortal world, even if it is an old lady full of children and grandchildren, there is also the suffering that I once couldn't ask for, but the gods are different, we, thousands of years of loneliness have survived, and those who should be downplayed have long been downsized, how can they remember any pain?"
Seeing that Yu Xinling was still a little stunned, she suddenly laughed, "Look at me, I have forgotten, the girl is only over a hundred years old, and she has only been in this world for a few years, where do you understand the meaning of my words." ”
"I ...... I'm only eleven. ”
"The girl doesn't know, after the god is born, the first hundred years have not grown up, and they will always be raised in the illusion, and they will not grow until the hundred years are full and the immortal base is stable, and they can start to grow."
"How I've never heard ......"
"If you guess correctly, the girl is afraid that she was accidentally touched in the illusion at the beginning, which led to the fragile immortal foundation of the soul now, and the Jade Emperor left you in the palace, which is indeed the best choice."
Yu Xinling was still a little stunned, "It turns out that ...... I'm over 100 years old......"
Meng Po waved her hand in front of her eyes and teased, "Come back to your senses," Seeing Yu Xinling looking at her suspiciously, she said again, "Your grandmother has already drunk Meng Po soup and reincarnated, na, her name has been erased from the book." ”
Yu Xinling looked at her hand, and indeed did not see the name of the Queen Mother again, she nodded, "Thank you." ”
Meng Po threw a wink at her, "What's polite, the girl can only tell her if she has something in the future, Meng Po is the most idle in the entire underworld." ”
"In this way, I won't be afraid to disturb you when I call you out for tea in the future, and you will come out next time," Yu Xinling looked at her carefully, "Remember to bring silver, I will invite you to eat the best dishes in the capital." ”
Meng Po glanced at her faintly, and sighed, "A rich person like a girl is still so stingy, it's really helpless......
Yu Xinling is not ashamed but proud, "Rich people have always been generous and generous. ”
Meng Po shook her head and sighed, "The girl still has something to do with me, I can't be idle." ”
With that, he let out a long sigh and left.
