Chapter 20 The beginning of Hongmeng
A few days later, Tiyun had forgotten all about what he had dreamed of that night.
On this day, Chiki was going to take her to the nearest Eian Temple in Kyoto to offer incense.
Early in the morning, Qianwu touched her pale little face, "Why is it so cold?" ”
Then he took the cloak in Liangchen's hand and put it on Tiyun, and said while tying the belt of her collar, "It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and the weather is getting colder, so I put it on for you, so as not to get caught in the wind and cold again." ”
Drunken Dawn rode in the same carriage with the two of them. Tiyun wore a veil on her face and a smiling face under the veil, she had never been to a temple before, and she asked what the temple was like along the way.
"It's a pity I can't even see ......," Tiyun said as she played with a thousand mist's fingers.
"It's okay, it's going to be a long time, and we'll come often in the future." Chiki smiled and straightened her hair.
When Tiyun heard the words "the coming day will be long", his heart suddenly became happy. Why do you like this term so much? She thought about it in her mind for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she didn't think about it.
Drunken Drop and Liangchen looked at each other and smiled when they saw this.
The carriage drove out of Kyoto and headed southeast to Mt. Jingxin, stopping halfway up the mountain. Qianwu led Tiyun out of the carriage, "It's here." ”
There were people coming and going around him, and Tiyun took Qianmist's hand and asked, "Are there many people?" ”
"There are a lot of people, just hold me." Thousand Mists said warmly.
Then Qianwu gestured to Drunken Drop and Liangchen, and then pulled Tiyun into the temple from the avenue.
Ei'anji Temple is the most famous temple in Kyoto. It is neither the largest nor the grandest and most splendid in Kyoto. But because of this, there was once a Buddha seated here, and later generations built this temple here to commemorate him. Later, after several dynasties and wars, it was still undamaged. As its name suggests, it is always stable and always calm.
Along the way, there are monks carrying water, an endless stream of pilgrims, smoky incense burners, and red and yellow streamers floating on the pious tree. Qianwu would tell Tiyun everything he saw, and Tiyun felt very happy at this time.
Liangchen and Zuidi followed behind and talked secretly, and they were no different from the people who came to offer incense together.
At this time, someone called from behind, "Lord Wang? ”
Qianwu looked back, "It turned out to be Prime Minister Wang...... It's such a coincidence that the Prime Minister also came to offer incense and pray for blessings? ”
"yes." The middle-aged prime minister supported the big-bellied wife, "The minister's wife is pregnant with Liujia, and she will give birth in two months, so she came here to pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva." ”
"I've seen the prince." The Prime Minister's voice was very sweet.
Qianwu pulled Tiyun and said, "This is Wang Pu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and his wife. ”
Tiyun bowed with a smile, "I've seen the prime minister and his wife." ”
"Who is this?" The prime minister noticed that Tiyun's eyes were not focused and seemed to be unable to see, so he looked at Qianwu again and asked. Qianwu rubbed Tiyun's hand and did not speak.
At this time, the atmosphere was a little strange, and the lady saw that Tiyun had an eye disease with a veil, and was held by Qianwu, knowing that her identity was special and inconvenient to reveal, so she stepped forward and smiled, "Don't pay attention to their men, let's go to incense together." ”
Tiyun listened to the lady's kind and sweet voice, so she lowered her head and smiled, "Very good." ”
So the girls on both sides helped the two of them to go to the hall above, one is pregnant, be careful of your feet, and the other is out of sight, and you should be careful of your feet. It's the same, but it's not the same.
Tiyun and the Prime Minister's wife walked to one of the landings of the staircase, and there were some interesting little objects on the platform, and Tiyun and her carefully selected them. Tiyun couldn't see it, so the lady told her about the characteristics of the thing and gave her advice.
"Let's ask for this peace charm later, you must meet the Buddha first before you can ask for anything else." Madame said with a smile.
This lady speaks slowly, and is kind and amiable, and Tiyun likes it very much.
Qianwu and the prime minister followed behind and began to discuss the affairs of the court.
"The prince will also come to the temple?" The prime minister looked at Qianwu jokingly, "Or do you want to accompany someone?" ”
Qianwu goes in and out of the fireworks place all day long, not to mention the temple, and it is already very rare for him to be able to stay at home one day.
Qianwu didn't answer, and looked at Tiyun in front of him with a smile and a word, and the prime minister already knew when he saw this.
Tiyun and his wife came to the main hall. Tiyun knelt on the futon, clasped his hands together and looked up at the Buddhas above, following the movements of the pilgrims in the script. Although she couldn't see it, the sandalwood on her nose and the atmosphere around her at this time made her feel sacred.
She couldn't think of anything to ask for for a long time, and there was only one word in her head. It's a long time coming.
Heavenly gods and Buddhas, I don't ask for anything, but I ask for a long time.
After praying to the Buddhas, Tiyun leaned down and bowed sincerely.
Liangchen and Drunken Drop led Tiyun to incense, Tiyun held three sandalwood sticks in his hand, and walked to the incense ash burner outside the main hall. When Tiyun was about to bow three times with the incense, someone happened to rush over, and Tiyun stumbled under his feet and almost fell down.
At this moment, someone around her quickly supported her, and grasped the incense she accidentally took off.
At this time, the drunken drop and Liangchen, who were talking and laughing, reacted and immediately supported Tiyun. Tiyun straightened up, took the incense handed by the man and smiled, "Thank you." ”
The man didn't answer, he looked at Tiyun again, and seeing that Tiyun didn't seem to be able to see, he glanced at Tiyun and immediately walked away.
At this time, the prime minister's wife also came over with her stomach propped up, "I'm going to go over there to ask for a sign to hang the piety tree, will the girl go with me?" ”
Tiyun couldn't see the tree of piety, and he couldn't hang it up in person after praying for a lot, and he felt a little sad.
Seeing this, Zuidi said, "Madam, go ahead, let's take Miss around." ”
The prime minister's wife also realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she smiled apologetically and was led away by the girl.
"Liangchen, I heard the fox say that there is a Bodhi tree in Yong'an Temple, right?" Tiyun suddenly said to the two of them, "I want to go and see." ”
Liangchen smiled, "Okay, then I'll take you there." ”
The three of them passed through the main hall from the side path, and then bypassed the courtyard of the host and came to the backyard.
This hundred-year-old Bodhi tree, with its emerald green branches, is full of vitality and aura. Before Tiyun reached the bottom of the tree, he raised his head as if he had sensed it.
The three of them walked through the corridor and entered a low gate, and saw this Bodhi.
"It's beautiful." Tiyun sighed as if he had seen a tree.
Drunken Di and Liangchen glanced at each other, not knowing why.
At this moment, Tiyun seemed to hear someone calling her. When she looked further away, she saw a monk in a robe standing under a tree in front of her, beckoning to her, "Come." ”
Tiyun seemed stunned, as if he had been called, put down Liangchen's hand, and walked over there.
When she reached the bottom of the tree, she saw the monk with a faint smile on his face, "It turned out to be you." ”
It's the same sentence again. Tiyun looked up at him, speechless.
"It is only because the gods have promised you to be sincere and kind in this life, and your heart is free from obstacles, so that your heavenly spirit is not enlightened, and the jewel is covered with dust, this is fate. And today, you see me here again, and this is also fate. If it is fate, it should be smooth. As he spoke, the monk took out a branch from behind him.
"You have to remember that it is easy to fold too wisely. Seven emotions and six desires are the source of trouble, or you are destined to have this calamity. The monk smiled, "The monk can only give you one sentence." Be true to your heart and everything will go well. ”
Hearing this, Tiyun knelt down and looked up at the monk shrouded in a golden light, and the monk above took the branch and lightly tapped it on the top of Tiyun's head three times, and then disappeared.
Tiyun opened her eyes again, and her eye ailment was cured. Not only that, but she also saw the world in front of her a little clearer. When she was happy, she suddenly felt a stuffy pain in her chest, as if she had pressed a big stone, she covered her heart and closed her eyes, panting heavily, and sat down backwards.
"Tiyun! What happened to you? Don't scare me! Drunken Drop and Liangchen were by her side and held her.
Tiyun came back to her senses, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw herself kneeling under the Bodhi tree, and there was a Bodhi branch on the ground in front of her, she looked back at Liangchen and Drunk, "What just happened?" ”
"We were standing by the low door, and then you suddenly let go of my hand and walked under the tree by yourself. Drunken Drop and I were so frightened that we didn't react. Liangchen gave Tiyun a sigh of relief, "Then you suddenly knelt down again, and we immediately ran up to help you." ”
"Just ...... Did something happen? Drunken Drop asked cautiously.
"It's nothing, help me up." Tiyun thought with his eyes down.
Liangchen helped Tiyun up, Tiyun just stood up, and suddenly felt that his qi and blood fell, as if most of his body had been consumed, and he stumbled again, and Liangchen hurriedly supported her with his shoulders. Tiyun put his body on Liangchen and slowed down for a while before recovering.
"Girl, your eyes are back?!" Liangchen was very happy.
"Shh Tiyun made a silent gesture, "I want to surprise the fox." ”
The three laughed. Drunken gave her a pat on the dirty dress, and they were about to walk out.
Tiyun looked up at the Bodhi tree above and nodded at it. The branches swayed in the wind and seemed to say nothing.
