Chapter 328: Waiting for You Well
There is an old custom in the country of Guri: girls from poor families, many of whom serve in the monastery at the age of 10, are called "holy women", and although they are respected and even feared, they are in fact only sex slaves of the monastic elders.
Once these people become saints, they have to give up their traditional way of life, and after some ceremonies and ceremonies, they spend time with the temple elders and are not allowed to remarry for the rest of their lives. The holy women are not monks, they do not need to wear monk's robes, they usually live in their own homes, and when the monastery needs it, they go to the monastery to wait for the elders, basically they come and go as soon as they are called.
Xinlian's family is extremely poor, and she has been selling ornaments like Cortana since she was a child, which is why she is fluent in Chinese. But because there is an elder brother, an elder sister and two younger sisters in the family, it is impossible to do business all, so in desperation, the family had to send the little sister who is only twelve years old and extremely beautiful three years ago to the Dashi Temple in the royal city as a "holy daughter".
In the past three years, Xinlian has been able to go home once every two months, bring some money to subsidize the family, and the family situation has been improved, and I have also thought about letting my little sister no longer be a saint, but Guli is a Buddhist country, and the status of the temple is extremely high. Every time she goes home, Xiaomei has to hug her and cry, but in addition to comforting Xiaomei, what ability does Xinlian have to resist?
This morning, Xinlian saw Wang Hou defeat the chieftain, and she saw that the god-like Lord Baya did not dare to speak, so she thought: Can you ask Wang Hou to make a move and put pressure on Dashi Temple to force the temple to stop letting Xiaomei be a saint.
In the process of Xinlian's words, Qiao Lin's face was red for a while, white for a while, and Wang Hou was also embarrassed, it turned out that the "holy girl" was a prostitute, and after she finished speaking, she thought for a while and asked, "Xinlian, have you told Master Ali about this matter?" ”
Xinlian shook her head: "Dashi Temple is the largest temple in Guli, and it is in the capital...... I don't dare to ask the owner for this non-sub-point. Wang Hou and Qiao Lin both heard it, what she meant was that they were still worried that the farm would not be able to compete with Dashi Temple, even if they proposed it to Master Ali, they couldn't solve it, and if they really wanted to stretch out their hands, they might burn themselves.
Wang Hou turned to Qiao Lin and asked, "Qiao Lin, what do you think should be done?" "Let's go to that now, what Dashi Temple, I heard that the Dharma is preached, it is there, they should be reasonable, we will find the abbot, first persuade him with good words, let them let go of the holy woman, if they are not obedient, help the master to take action again, teach them a lesson."
"Great idea!" Wang Hou clapped his hands and asked, "But we don't all speak Sanskrit, how can we persuade each other with good words?" Qiao Lin didn't want to settle it peacefully in her heart, "good words and persuasion" were just to vote for Wang Hou's favor, and when she heard the words, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Then take action directly, teach the abbot a lesson, and after beating him to beg for mercy, he will release the holy woman." ”
Wang Hou retracted his gaze and said to Xinlian: "This matter is not a trivial matter, if the abbot of Dashi Temple is easy to speak, then it is fine; But if he is difficult to speak, once he falls out, it is very likely to cause public anger! Because judging from what you just said, the Holy Maiden exists in all monasteries in the Guli Kingdom, not the Dashi Temple...... Can we pay them to stop pestering your sister to become a saint? ”
Xinlian wept and said: "Dashi Temple is the largest temple, the incense is prosperous, plus this uncovered conference, they can get a lot of alms, and the money of the temple is rich in enemy countries." If the money is less, it will not work; Give too much...... How can there be so much money? ”
Wang Hou frowned, knowing that Xinlian was right, he thought for a while, and said to himself: "The holy monk took Hu Jun to the Lotus Temple, I heard that he has a good relationship with the Lotus Temple, can you let the holy monk come forward and talk to the Dashi Temple?" Qiao Lin also said: "I heard the master say that I am very familiar with the Lotus Temple, let me ask and see what he says?" With that, he got up and went out.
Wang Hou didn't believe that she would really ask Master Ali anything, and now she was just trying to fool herself, and then force herself to go to Dashi Temple. Hurriedly called Shang Xinlian and followed behind Qiao Lin.
Qiao Lin turned her head and stretched out her arms to stop Wang Hou: "What are you going to do?" I'll be back in a moment, you can discuss, is there any other way? Wang Hou became more and more sure that the inference just now was correct, and said with a smile: "Let's go with you to prevent anyone from speaking for fear of being scolded by the master...... Still not leaving? ”
Master Ali was taking a lunch break in the room, and was dragged up by Qiao Lin, and after listening to Wang Houdao's intentions, he glanced at Xinlian. Wang Hou explained: "The master doesn't have to blame Xinlian, she just told us that she didn't dare to tell you about it for fear of causing trouble to the farm." I thought, if I can help with that, I can do it a favor. ”
Xinlian fell to the ground on her knees and knelt in front of Master Ali: "Owner, please forgive the slave and maid for being troublesome...... The slave and maid were also really afraid of causing trouble to the farm, and even more afraid that the owner of the farm would expel me from the farm. But...... However, every time I go home and see my little sister sad, my heart is like a knife...... In the morning, the slave maid saw that the general had defeated the Baya chieftain, so she couldn't help but plead with the general. ”
"I'm a broken jar now, and since I've offended the chief, I'm not afraid of offending another abbot." Wang Hou was originally joking, but Xinlian was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "That's not what the slave means. ”
Qiao Lin snorted: "Xinlian, you get up, if I don't know, forget it, since I know, if he doesn't help, I will definitely help you." Xinlian got up according to her words, heard Qiao Lin say this, bowed down, and said gratefully: "Thank you, little princess!" But I heard Qiao Lin snort again: "Hmph! Even monks who have left home are so bad, my sister is really right, are there any good men in this world? ”
Master Ali knew the temper of his apprentice, and said: "Actually, Xinlian's worries are also reasonable, the saint will only quit when she is old, I haven't heard of any saint who can take the initiative to quit halfway, this is the rule of Buddhism in ancient countries, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's difficult to change." ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Hou understood that this matter was really difficult to solve, and he didn't want to embarrass Master Ali, so he stopped Qiao Lin from saying any more, and said, "So that's the case, then let's think of a way to ask the master for advice at that time." Master Ali responded: "Today is September 13th, and there are six days to propagate the Dharma of the Uncovered Conference, when the monks gather, and then find an opportunity to intercede with the abbot of Dashi Temple, let him let go of the little sister of Xinlian." ”
The three of them retreated and returned to Wang Hou's room, Qiao Lin said, "It seems that I have to go to that Dashi Temple." Wang Hou was told the central matter, and said with a smile: "Qiao Lin is really smart, I want to explore the way tonight to see what the situation is." Xinlian, since the little princess said that she wants to help you, you can rest assured, now go back to sleep, and I will go to Dashi Temple with you at night to have a look. ”
Jolene's eyes widened and she asked repeatedly, "What me and you?" You don't take me? There are only two people in the Heartless Gang here, and if you don't bring anyone with you, what kind of helper are you? ”
Wang Hou saw that she was in a hurry, and hurriedly comforted: "Qiao Lin, don't make trouble, I didn't bring you to the preaching village last night, I just don't know the situation of that tribe, and one more person is more risk." This is even more the case tonight, Xinlian also said, Dashi Temple is the largest temple in Guli, it is a place for the Wusha General Assembly, and will preach the Dharma there, the risk of this trip will be greater, if it is discovered, not only can not save Xinlian's little sister, but also affect himself. If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't familiar with the ancient capital, I wouldn't even know where the Dashi Temple was, and I wouldn't have brought the heart lotus. ”
Although Qiao Lin is simple and willful, she is very smart, knowing that Wang Hou is telling the truth, she no longer makes noise, and snorts coldly: "I'll quit tomorrow, absolutely, love, help!" Wang Hou pretended to be panicked: "Then what should I do?" So what to do? Haven't I become a bare-bones gang leader? ”
Seeing the two of them laughing, Xinlian bowed: "Thank you to the little princess and the general, the slave and maid went out first." Qiao Lin snorted and said to the king: "You can also sleep, recuperate, and be careful at night." ”
Wang Hou didn't expect her to say this, his heart warmed, and he blurted out: "I've slept well...... Qiao Lin said happily: "Really? That's good, that's good, you go on, the Weaver Girl's child......"
☆☆☆☆☆ night, two black figures, one tall and one short, came out of Lianhua Farm, and it was Wang Hou and Xinlian. At dinner, Wang Hou told everyone his thoughts, and the eldest princess was silent for a long time, seeing that since he had made up his mind, it was not easy to stop him, but only reminded him to be careful.
Master Ali saw that the little princess strongly supported it, and the eldest princess did not object, so it was naturally difficult to say much. When the lily fairy heard about it, she gritted her teeth: "Why is there such a dirty thing in the temple?" Helper, I'll go with you, I have to feed those bald donkeys with the Ten Flavors Heavenly Fragrance Needle! When she was seventeen years old, she was raped by a woodcutter because she went to the holy water rock to get water for her mother's illness, so when she heard that the holy woman was forced to go to the monastery, she was angry.
Wang Hou tried to persuade him again, but the Lily Fairy listened to what he said, and no longer insisted, and took out two plates of flower mist from his pocket, one of which was an antidote, in case of emergency.
After dinner, they chatted for a while, and when it was completely dark, the two of them left the farm. Lianhua Farm is only five miles away from the capital, and after going on the avenue, it is the capital two miles to the east. Because it was still early, the two did not start a light effort.
Wang Hou wore a hat and walked side by side with Xinlian, although there was moonlight, there were no other pedestrians on the road, so he opened the green veil and talked to Xinlian. Although Xinlian doesn't often go to Dashi Temple, she has heard Xiaomei talk about it, so she is very familiar with the temple and tells what she knows.
Seeing the wind lanterns hanging on the walls of the capital city from a distance, Wang Hou suddenly asked: "It seems that tonight is even more dangerous than last night, I don't know what benefits Miss Xinlian will give me after rescuing my little sister?" "This was a joke, just to lighten the mood. Xinlian stopped and said in a low voice: "The slave knows that it is more dangerous than last night, and I didn't expect the general to be willing to act for the slave and maid, and I can't say anything grateful." When I went back to my room this afternoon, I cried for a long time, and I couldn't repay it...... If the general doesn't dislike the humiliation of the slave and maid, let's go into the forest now, and the slave and maid are willing...... Willing to serve the general well. ”
