Chapter 192 of the text asks for a sign and unsigning
Yu Panning stood in place and waited for He Mulan, who was a few steps slower, and asked with concern: "Mulan, are you okay, can you hold on?" β
"I'm fine." He Mulan smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, they went to the front?" β
Yu Panning nodded: "Let's just hurry up and follow." β
After some physical exercise, He Mulan and Yu Panning finally arrived at the gate of Miaoyin Temple, the smell of incense came out of the temple, and their group bought some incense candles and entered the temple.
The temple looks like it has a long history, and the plaque on the gate reads the words "Miaoyin Temple", and the monks in the temple are completely unimpressed by the guests who come and go, and come and go freely, without squinting, as if they are in a no-man's land.
Mrs. He and Master He walked into the Buddhist hall and knelt down reverently to put on a stick of incense.
"Buddha, but please be able to bless Mu Lan and Zhao Yuan with smooth and peaceful lives." Mrs. He closed her eyes tightly, prayed in her heart, and then kowtowed deeply.
He Mulan stood at the door of the Buddha hall, looking up at the compassionate Buddha, he looked down at all beings, saw the suffering of all beings, and did not know if he could see the discomfort in his heart.
"Mu Lan, aren't you here to pray for blessings?" After Yu Panning finished the incense, he came out and asked He Mulan.
He Mulan lowered her eyes, knelt down on the futon, kowtowed reverently, and begged the Buddha for mercy in her heart, so that she could reconcile with Feng Anyan.
The group wandered around the temple again, and as the number of pilgrims grew, Mrs. He donated some money to the merit box and prayed with her hands folded.
"Mom, what are you asking for?" He Zhaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. He smiled and replied, "What more can I ask for?" My lord and I are so old, we can only pray for you and Mu Lan to live a safe and happy life. β
"Mom." He Mulan couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, she rushed up and hugged her mother and said, "You are still young, what is this age, didn't Dad still say that he would raise me for more than 20 years?" β
Mrs. He touched He Mulan's head lovingly and said, "As long as you are happy and happy, your parents will be happy." β
Master He looked at He Mulan with relief, she felt that after Feng Anyan's incident, He Mulan seemed to have grown up quietly and understood her parents' love for her. Although He Mulan was also very sensible in the past, those tempers did give them a headache.
"Mom, I want to make a wish too!" Lele said with a pout.
"What do you want to make?" He Zhaoyuan asked with a smile.
"I want my mother and godmother to be happy, and then be with Lele forever!" Lele happily said his wish.
The ancient bell of the temple was runged, the distant bell rang, the sound of wooden fish and chanting also loomed, and the sound of Buddhist music made He Mulan's heart clear.
At this time, she seemed to have all her negative emotions gone, until Yu Panning pulled her hand.
"Mu Lan, what are you thinking?" Yu Panning asked strangely.
"It's nothing, it's just that the bell just now sounds very comfortable." He Mulan replied.
"Mom and Dad said they were going to tell fortunes, come on." He Zhaoyuan pulled Lele in front and greeted him, and Mrs. He and Master He at the front also stood and waited for He Mulan.
Looking at the family waiting for him, He Mulan took a deep breath, there are so many people who love him, he can't be decadent anymore.
The group walked to a meditation room, where an old monk was sitting, and when he saw He Mulan and his party, he asked, "Who wants to count?" β
Yu Panning pushed He Mulan in front of him and said, "Master, give her the math." β
The old monk asked He Mulan's birthday, then took out a sticker and handed it to He Mulan and said, "Draw one." β
He Mulan looked at the sticker, then at her parents, and got a circle of affirmative looks, so she reached out and pulled one.
There were two lines of poetry on the signature, and He Mulan couldn't understand what it meant when she looked left and right, but with her history teacher's knowledge, the meaning of this poem didn't seem to be very good, and she nervously handed the sign in her hand to the old monk.
The old monk took the sign, his brows suddenly furrowed, he looked at He Mulan, and his eyes were already serious at this time.
"Girl, are you married?" The old monk asked suddenly.
Mrs. He hurriedly replied, "She is engaged, but not married." β
"No wonder." The old monk muttered, and he hissed and said, "Girl, you are going to have a great calamity in the near future." β
"What?" Yu Panning and He Mulan said in unison.
"Master, what do you mean?" Master He was also anxious, sometimes they had to believe these superstitious things.
"Judging from the sign, it is the pain of parting." The old monk said Shinto.
"The pain of parting?" He Mulan repeated in surprise, her first reaction was Feng Anyan, so she hurriedly said, "My fiancΓ© is going to break off his marriage contract with me recently, can the master mean this?" β
The old monk frowned, stared at the sign and said: "If it's just a parting, it won't be written on the sign, but what can be counted on the sign is only the surface, and the deep interpretation is to leak the heavenly secret, Amitabha, the female benefactor, and the poor monk can only say so much." β
Seeing that the old monk refused to go deeper, He Mulan's expression gradually darkened, and Yu Panning hurriedly comforted him when he saw this: "Mulan, you don't have to take it too seriously, if you believe in this kind of thing, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, and it's also entertaining." β
Mrs. He and Mr. He also followed.
But I don't know why, He Mulan always has a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart, but she can't say what's wrong, in order to prevent this distraction from becoming a blockage, she can only comfort herself with Yu Panning's rhetoric.
The group left the old monk's meditation room, walked around the temple again, and planned to go down the mountain to the hotel to rest first.
He Zhaoyuan drove for a long time, and was a little tired, so they took out their luggage and walked to the hotel not far away.
In order to accompany He Mulan, Yu Panning and He Mulan booked a room, Lele made a fuss about being with He Zhaoyuan, and Yu Panning had to obey him.
The sky gradually darkened, Yu Panning came out after taking a bath, and saw He Mulan still sitting on the bed with a sad brow, so he asked her, "Mulan, what's wrong with you?" What do you think? β
He Mulan came back to her senses, looked at Yu Panning worriedly, and said, "A-Ning, I don't know why, I'm a little panicked. β
"Panic?" He Mulan climbed onto Yu Panning's bed and said, "What's the matter?" Is it because of the words of that master today? β
He Mulan nodded hesitantly: "After he helped me untie the stick, my heart panicked, I don't know what's going on." β
"Mu Lan, you're too sensitive." Yu Panning comforted, "I just want to ask for a good fortune, and besides, the master just said that he was parting, maybe it was the incident between An Yan and you?" β
He Mulan shook his head slightly: "I don't know what's going on, I'm very uneasy." β
"Okay, you're just thinking too much, we're taking you out to relax, get rid of all the negative emotions in your heart." Yu Panning said with relief.
He Mulan breathed a deep sigh of relief, and also felt that she was thinking too much, maybe it was because she thought of Feng Anyan that she was like this.
Thinking like this, He Mulan couldn't help but feel relieved, as if the breath hanging in his heart was really gone.
