Chapter 51: Immeasurable Merit

Huo Zun sneaked out of the training camp at night to visit Xia Qian twice.

The first time I met Xia Qian copying the scriptures alone in the apse, he stood at the door and looked at her thin figure, and when he was about to approach, he heard her pick up the copied scriptures and read a dedication.

The copied scripture was echoed to Lu Jingheng, thanks to him for saving his life three times, Huo Zun heard Lu Jingheng's name, and the whole person stiffened like a sculpture.

Another time, he came at noon and saw Lu Jingheng sitting on a stone bench chatting with Xia Qian.

Although it is the backyard of the Buddha Hall, there is no one in the courtyard, but they behave appropriately and respectfully, and there is no transgression, but they can see that he is not at all in his head and heart, and his heart hurts inexplicably, but he does not have enough confidence to step forward.

Lin Qianxue said that Xia Qian's "husband was snubbed and her in-laws abused", and Xia Qian said that her "husband doesn't hurt, and her in-laws don't love her", and he wanted to say that these are not facts.

However, this is a more brutal and realistic fact than the truth.

He stood silently not far away, listening to her and Lu Jingheng's happy chat, describing his life after leaving Qinglong City with anticipation, his knuckle fingers clenched and loosened, released and clenched.

After repeating the movements on his fingers several times, Huo Zun snorted angrily and threw his sleeves away.

Lu Jingheng said that it would take him a month to prepare for sending Xia Qian away.

In order not to delay his escape, Xia Qian spent the next twenty days copying a thick Sanskrit "Tripitaka" on the wall word for word.

As long as the final payment is written, the copying of the scriptures is completed.

For the rest of the day, she was bedridden and pretended to be sick.

She was weak herself, but it happened to be a few more autumn rains, the weather was getting colder and colder, and there happened to be another menstrual pain in the middle, and Qingyue did not doubt this matter.

Lu Jingheng said that it was limited to one month, and she had waited for thirty-five days, and she had not seen him.

"Won't this colt release my pigeon again?" Xia Qian stared at the jade gourd and complained to herself.

One afternoon, Abbot Yuanyi came to her residence, and after talking with Qingyue, Qingyue helped Xia Qian to meet him in the courtyard.

After a period of greetings, Abbot Yuanyi went straight to the topic.

"Young lady, according to the previous agreement, it will take about a month for you to copy the scriptures, and I see that the "Tripitaka Sutra" is only left with the payment, I don't know when the young lady plans to complete the payment!"

Xia Qian looked at the other party and sincerely apologized: "It's all my fault, because I was unwell and missed for a while, otherwise it would have been done a long time ago." Counting the next day, it has been more than 30 days since I came to your temple, and it is indeed time to complete the abbot's entrustment as soon as possible! ”

Yuanyi raised his head and smiled, waved his hand and said, "The young lady is too polite!" The Tripitaka is the most important of my Buddhist treasures, and the payment is a big deal. It is also necessary to choose an auspicious day, and the fifteenth day of the winter moon (the eleventh month of the lunar calendar) is a good day. If the young lady thinks it's okay, it's better to put it on this day. It just so happens that someone will come to see you that day! ”

The fifteenth day of the winter moon?

Someone came to see her?

Xia Qian was stunned for a moment, the fifteenth day of the winter month is ten days later.

The first and fifteenth days of the new year are big days to worship incense and worship Buddha, when there are many pilgrims and chaos in the courtyard, could it be that Lu Jingheng dragged Yuanyi to send a message to her, reminding her to prepare early.

"Of course I don't have a problem! It's just that I'm young and knowledgeable, so I don't know if there is anything I need to pay attention to when I make a payment? ”

"The young lady can copy according to her own mood and habits, and there is no need to stick to the rules!"

Xia Qian looked stunned, didn't she say that she had planned well, and didn't even explain what she needed to prepare?

On the fifteenth day of the winter month, Xia Qian got up early to freshen up, and in addition to bringing some broken silver on her body, she also secretly stuffed a lot of food.

On this day, there is an endless stream of people who come to Fahua Temple to worship incense, and as soon as you enter the door, you are attracted by the beautiful Sanskrit characters on the left and right walls.

Although everyone can't understand the content of this Sanskrit, the abbot of Yuanyi asked someone to copy the Sanskrit "Tripitaka Sutra" in Fahua Temple, and everyone knows about it in the entire Qinglong City.

Moreover, in order to express the importance of these Sanskrit texts, Lu Dacaizi, who was a concubine of the dynasty, was specially invited to paint.

Therefore, no one studies the contents of Sanskrit, but only looks to the gods.

Xia Qian was very uncomfortable with the praise one after another, and after walking down the bamboo ladder, she planned to find a place to sit for a while.

"Young Lady Huo!"

A deep voice sounded from behind her, Xia Qian turned her head, and Abbot Yuanyi was looking at her happily.

Standing beside him were two figures she was no longer familiar withβ€”Lin and Mingyue!

How did the Lin family come?

Could it be that Yuanyi wasn't helping Lu Jingheng spread the word that day, but she herself misunderstood?

Xia Qian was stunned for a moment.

Yuanyi stepped forward and gave her a Buddhist salute seriously: "The poor monk thanked Mrs. Huo Shao for the monks of Fahua Temple!" You have done such a great thing for our Fahua Temple, it is really immeasurable merit! ”

"The abbot is serious, I just copied some scriptures, and I didn't help much!" Xia Qian hurriedly explained.

Yuanyi Xingliang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head and smiled at Lin: "The young lady is quite Buddha-like, and it is a great merit to copy the Tripitaka in Buddhist language. It is to accumulate blessings for himself, for the Huo family, and at the same time, for the common people in the world. Mrs. Huo is really blessed to have this daughter-in-law! β€œ

Xia Qian was stunned again in her mind!

Just copying a scripture and lifting her to such a high platform?

The people who entered the temple were all officials above the third grade and their families, and there were not many people who knew Xia Qian, but there were not a few people who knew Mrs. Huo of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

After hearing Abbot Yuanyi's words, they were immediately convinced that Xia Qian was the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, the woman who made the prospective horse master Huo Zun drunk and had sex.

In fact, a few days ago, when Xia Qian "beat upright" to help Kuo Tianchen catch the assassin who assassinated Yun Guifei, her identity as the young lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion had already been passed out.

It's just that the people present at the time could still believe a few points, and after these dignitaries heard about it, they didn't want to believe it.

If you want to talk about fame, Huo Zun is known to everyone in Qinglong City, but if you want to say that he became famous overnight, no one can compare to Xia Qian, although it is infamy, but it is definitely unprecedented.

It wasn't until they heard the words "immeasurable merit" come out of the mouth of the abbot of Yuanyi that they accepted that the one who copied Sanskrit was the singer who became famous overnight in the palace and left a stench for thousands of years.

"I've seen this woman, just last month, she found the assassin who assassinated Yun Guifei. By the way, Lin Qianxue, the 'fairy in the clouds' of Liuyun Pavilion at that time, was also there, and said that this Xia Qian was 'neglected by her husband and abused by her in-laws' at home! ”

In the crowd, the voice of a mosquito whispering, and soon someone followed.

Lin's eyes swept over the crowd, and those people quickly closed their mouths.

Looking at Xia Qian, who is weak and temperamental, and then looking at the strong and domineering Lin family, everyone is convinced of Lin Qianxue's words, and their sympathy and appreciation for Xia Qian are also involuntarily revealed.

Lin was stabbed by everyone's strange gaze, and his whole body was uncomfortable.

Before, she thought that Xia Yuan had delayed Huo Zun's good future and affected their Huo family, but now, she felt that their Huo family owed Xia Qian.

Looking at the embarrassed and self-conscious Lin family, and then at the abbot Yuanyi with a dignified face and a peaceful face, Xia Qian faintly felt that this Buddhist monk was intentionally helping him.
