Chapter 322: I Want to Travel Far Away
There is a pot of wine in hand, and it is difficult to comfort oneself.
The snow in this twilight winter after the New Year's Festival is not only in the autumn falling city, but also in the Lingshan city.
The Lin family had a good time this year, because the family's business this year was much better than in previous years.
After having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, my father and grandfather both asked Lin Wanzhao about Shen's situation, but there was no news.
In fact, Lin Wanzhao has it, but she didn't say it as agreed.
The news was sent by Song Wan before, and she only said where Shen Jing was at the moment, and as for Song Wan's identity, she asked Lin Wanzhao not to be suspicious.
In the past few days, there have been bursts of snow outside the house, and every day has not stopped.
Lin Wanzhao, who had not been out for several days, went out of the house after the New Year's Festival, accompanied by Lian Xue and Lin Chongshan.
Although Lingshan City is far away from Gyeonggi, these days there is constant movement in the national dynasty, the old emperor died, the eldest prince and the third prince competed for the throne, and then there were Rouran Chen soldiers in the north and the general of the Zhu State Dugu Chong led the troops to garrison the southern defense line of the Great Wei.
Many things are piled up together, all of which indicate that the world will be chaotic.
The latter matter, Lin Wanzhao, who was deep in Lingshan City, had a deep understanding of it, because during this period of time a year ago, it was common for soldiers to cross the border.
Lin Wanzhao once asked Lin Chongshan if he was going to fight, but Lin Chongshan shook his head and said that it was not easy to say for the time being.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanzhao inevitably remembered Shen Qian's explanation when they were separated, as if he had known Shen Guan a long time ago.
Lin Wanzhao can't do much, except to pray for Shen Jing, which is to take care of herself.
In the two days before the New Year's Festival, Lin Wanzhao went to the temple to offer incense.
The temple is a newly built temple, called Baoling Temple, but there are several monks in it who are quite famous. In addition to the old abbot, Lin Wanzhao heard the most about a master with the Dharma name Kukai.
Lin Wanzhao had never seen each other, and learned about it from the word of mouth of pilgrims.
I heard that Master Kukai's ability to interpret the signature is very high, and those Buddhist Zen words are often easy to understand after the master's explanation.
In order to make up for the regret, Lin Wanzhao wanted to go to Baolin Temple today to ask for a signature.
Baoling Temple is at the foot of the mountain outside Lingshan City, because of the saying "Lingshan", it adds a bit of mystery to the temple.
After Lin Chongshan drove the carriage around the city, he rushed straight to the temple, and it didn't take long for more than half an hour.
At this time in the morning, there were many pilgrims coming and going, but it was not crowded, and the pilgrims who came to pray for blessings in the past few days were about to break down the temple gate.
After Lin Wanzhao got out of the carriage with the help of Lianxue, she went straight to the temple.
Because of the large number of pilgrims, it is difficult to ensure that every pilgrim is greeted by a special person, so the small novices in the temple often walk back and forth to help the pilgrims in need.
Because every time she came to Lin Wanzhao before, she went directly to the main hall to worship the Buddha, so she didn't know where Master Kukai was.
After calling a little novice and asking for it, I found out that Master Kukai was in the backyard of the treasure hall, and there was only a simple stall, which looked like a monk from the rivers and lakes.
Knowing the direction, Lin Wanzhao thanked the little novice, and the little novice folded his hands and returned to Amitabha.
Bypassing the treasure hall, Lin Wanzhao and the three of them quickly found the location of Master Kukai.
At that moment, several pilgrims were waiting quietly, and after coming in, Lin Wanzhao also waited quietly as usual.
There was also a young novice beside Master Kukai, probably who had listened to the master's explanation too much, and was standing and dozing off at this moment.
Every once in a while, Kukai knocked on the little novice's head, and then smiled and apologized to the guest.
This pair of masters and apprentices is none other than the pair of old monks and little monks who originally listened to the Zen Temple in Jinghua Mountain, the old monk Kuhai, and the little monk Mingnian.
As for the reason for coming here, Ming Nian has been in the rain and fog, and the master only said that there was a good errand here, and as for the matter of unsigning people, Ming Nian was puzzled, this line of work has never been done before as a master, can it be reliable?
Of course, since the master has accepted this errand, Ming Nian can't hold back, after all, this Baolin Temple is very thoughtful to their master and apprentice.
After being woken up by the master, Ming Nian stood upright again, standing with one hand side by side, reciting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.
The daughter's family who came to unsign often hid their faces and smiled when they saw this picture.
So waited (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 322: I Want to Travel Far Away
After a while, it was Lin Wanzhao's turn, and Kukai smiled after seeing Lin Wanzhao: "What is the donor asking for?" ”
Lin Wanzhao heard this: "Master, I want to ask for a reunion." ”
Lin Wanzhao's words were euphemistic, and Master Kukai smiled faintly when he heard it, and the meaning was self-evident.
The girl's family is thin-skinned, and the person she misses is far away, whether it is true or not, she just asks for peace of mind.
Hearing this, Kukai asked Ming Nian on the side to take out a pen and paper, and then looked at Lin Wanzhao and said lightly: "The donor can write down a word that comes to mind at the moment on the paper, just one, whatever." ”
Lin Wanzhao took the pen handed over by Ming Nian and thanked her first, and then she pondered a little and wrote a word on the paper, a longing word.
After Lin Wanzhao finished writing, Lian Xue and Lin Chongshan, who were standing behind, looked at each other, and when they saw that word, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Kukai took the words written by Lin Wan and looked at them for a moment, and after a while, he smiled faintly: "Read words, think from the heart." The reunion between the benefactor and the beloved will not be too far away, but where to go from here the girl needs to be carefully considered. ”
Suddenly heard the previous sentence Lin Wanzhao was secretly happy in her heart, but when she heard the latter sentence, Lin Wanzhao was a little confused, she couldn't tell whether it was happy or dangerous, and I didn't know what it meant.
Therefore, Lin Wan looked at Master Kukai and asked sincerely, "Master, what is the meaning of the latter sentence?" ”
Master Kukai smiled when he heard this: "The heavenly secret must not be revealed, the donor can understand it literally." Everything has a fateful law, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. ”
Although Lin Wanzhao was still at a loss, she did not delay the master's time, she told Lian Xue to hand over the incense money quickly, and after thanking her, she left silently.
It's just that the last sentence is still in her heart.
Lin Wanzhao was the last guest at this time in the morning, so after Lin Wanzhao left, the master and apprentice could rest for a while.
Ming Nian looked at Lin Wanzhao's back as he left, and touched his smooth head again, because he didn't understand the meaning of the last few words of Master's explanation, so in the end he couldn't help but ask: "Master, what if you lie so much, if they all take it seriously?" ”
The old monk Kuhai smiled faintly when he heard this: "If you can be as heartless as you, then the world should be stable for all eternity." ”
Although Master's words sounded very domineering, Ming Nian always felt that Master was saying bad things about him.
"Master, what do you mean by that last sentence?"
Hearing this, Kukai turned his head to look at Ming Nian, first knocking on his head before saying, "Literally." ”
Ming Nian felt that he was beaten a little inexplicably, but he felt that the literal meaning of these four words seemed to be right.
Regarding Master Kukai's explanation, Lin Wanzhao was excited and nervous, and she was still thinking about the last sentence.
Lian Xue heard the master say that the reunion between her young lady and Shen Gongzi was not far away, so she was very happy for her own young lady.
Seeing that Miss was sullen, Lian Xue couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you, Miss?" The masters all said that you and Shen Gongzi will be reunited soon, why are you not happy? ”
Seeing this, the attentive Lin Chongshan said: "Miss, don't think too much, the master's answer is good words, and it's not beautiful to think too much." ”
Lin Wanzhao squeezed out a smile on her face when she heard this: "Uncle Chongshan, Xue'er I know, I'm just afraid that something will happen in this." ”
Hearing this, Lian Xue held Lin Wanzhao's hand and said warmly: "Don't worry, Miss, everything will be safe with Shen Gongzi." ”
Although this trip was specially to ask for a signature, Lin Wanzhao later went to the main hall to worship the Buddha, the Buddhists said that sincerity is spiritual, Lin Wanzhao thought that no matter how much sincerity in front of the Buddha is not too much.
After paying homage at Baoling Temple, I slowly returned to the city by driving down Lin Chongshan.
On the way back to the city, on the river outside the city, the three of them encountered a group of hurried soldiers from a distance.
Lin Chongshan stopped the car and waited for the team of soldiers to pass by, and Lin Wanzhao and Lian Xue in the carriage also lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, and peace and stability seemed to be drifting away.
Not long after entering the city, Lin Chongshan, who was driving the car, stopped with a long sigh.
Lin Wanzhao lifted the curtain after feeling the parking and asked, "Uncle Chongshan, what happened?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Chongshan pointed to the front and said, "Miss, the road ahead is blocked by passers-by." ”
Lin Wanzhao followed the direction of Lin Chongshan's finger (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 322: I Want to Travel Far Away
I looked over, and it was crowded with people.
"Miss, you and Lianxue will stay in the car for a while, and I'll come when I go."
Lin Wanzhao nodded.
After Lin Chongshan got out of the carriage, he walked through the crowd for a while, and soon saw clearly the situation surrounded by the crowd in the center.
An old monk in a tattered robe was reciting prayers for an old man who looked to have fallen to the ground and died.
Lin Chongshan asked the people around him, and finally got a positive answer, but when asked why the people around him didn't help, the man said in a slightly disgusted tone: "The dead are not clean, and everyone dare not cause trouble." ”
Lin Chongshan was speechless for a while, but he couldn't blame others for being indifferent.
After the monk finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, Lin Chongshan squeezed in from the crowd and asked the monk if he needed help.
The old monk looked at Lin Chongshan and said softly: "The old man begs this donor to send this dead donor to the government first, and then wait for his family to claim it." Amitabha, the poor monk thanked the dead benefactor. ”
Lin Chongshan waved his hand and said that it should be.
After that, Lin Chongshan returned first and told Lin Wanzhao the reason for the incident, and finally Lian Xue drove the horse back with Lin Wanzhao first, and Lin Chongshan sent the man's body to the yamen.
Later, the old monk followed all the way, and the Buddhist language in his mouth continued.
Transcendence and transcendence is both a life in this life and a life to come. No matter what happened to this person in his life, when the spring red is gone, everything will come to an end.
On the way back, Lin Chongshan sometimes recalled the picture of Fang Cai, when the old monk knelt on the ground for the deceased, he was the real Buddha.
The Buddha has no appearance, no self, no one, no sentient beings, and the appearance is born from the heart, and you and I can be Buddhas.
Soon after returning to the Lin Mansion, the steward Lin Songfeng came to Lin Wanzhao's small courtyard and said that the old lady was looking for her.
Lin Wan responded, and then followed Lin Songfeng over.
When Lin Wanzhao arrived, Lin Tianhai was reading the letter in front of the desk in the study, and when Lin Wanzhao pushed the door in, Lin Tianhai tightened his brows, and his eyebrows gradually stretched.
However, when Lin Wanzhao entered the door, she caught the sadness on her grandfather's face, so she opened her mouth while closing the door casually, "Grandpa, but what happened?" ”
Lin Tianhai sighed slightly when he heard this, and finally he handed the letter to Lin Wanzhao, who came over.
Lin Wanzhao took the letter and looked at it quickly, and her brows were slightly raised.
In the past six months, although Lin Wanzhao has stopped following the shipment, the Lin family's business has basically been handed over to her, and the strategy is all up to the girl's family, and it has always been smooth.
The reason why I was a little sad was because the message said that there was a problem with the batch of goods that were transported to Miansi City, Guanfeng County a year ago, and the main family needed to send someone to deal with it.
Since grandpa called himself here, he wanted to hand over this matter to himself, so Lin Wan turned white.
But Lin Tianhai actually has difficulties, after all, Lin Wanzhao is a daughter's family who wants her to go out just after the New Year's Festival, how can she be happy to be a grandfather. On the other hand, I am also worried about Lin Wanzhao's safety, Miansi City is not far from Qizhou and Qinghe, and now the situation is turbulent, and that area is not safe.
They are all family members, so Lin Tianhai bluntly expressed his worries and made it clear to Lin Wan that if he didn't want to, he could send someone else.
Lin Wanzhao shook her head and said that these were her own affairs, so she had to go there in person no matter what.
Lin Tianhai shook his head and sighed, while Lin Wanzhao understood his grandfather's situation and gently persuaded him not to worry.
It is natural that such a thing will leave soon, so in the days before leaving, one is to prepare the things to be brought for the long trip, and the other is to recruit a few more capable guards to protect this trip.
After Lin Wanzhao came out of his grandfather's study, he went directly to check the shipment records, and it turned out that the batch of goods sent to Miansi City were mostly grain and some iron farm tools, and seeing that people here would inevitably associate it with some unstable factors, so things couldn't help but be clouded.
The escort was still handed over to the steward Lin Songfeng, who had the experience of recruiting Shen Guo last time, and he was familiar with it this time.
However, Lin Songfeng, who has heard about the world for a long time, also this time (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 322: I Want to Travel Far Away
Keep an eye on it, you must not let anyone with a heart blend into the team, not only will he follow on this long trip, but Lin Chongshan and most of the guards of the Lin family will follow, and the safety of the young lady is the top priority.
Because Lingshan City is neither an important place between the north and the south, nor is there a famous Jianghu gate stationed, so it is not easy to recruit masters of the rivers and lakes here.
There are many tooth people in the tooth shop, and they can be regarded as ear reports here, so within a day after Lin Songfeng paid a lot of money, the tooth people found four so-called martial arts masters, two of them are in the early stage of the Vientiane Realm, and the other two are in the middle of the Vientiane Realm, and the realm is not weak.
Under Lin Chongshan's guidance and hard work, it is only the middle stage of the Vientiane Realm, and there are still some young juniors in the family who can also see the past in their cultivation, so with the addition of these four masters, the strength is not bad.
