Chapter 44: Guanyin Lotus
Shen Xihe rested for half an hour, and the incense burned out, and he left the Recommended Blessing Temple.
As soon as she stepped into the carriage, there was an urgent shout from the little novice behind her: "Female Tanyue, please stay." ”
Turning around, Shen Xihe's gaze followed the sunlight and looked back, and a delicate little novice who was about fifteen or sixteen years old ran in front of her and made a Buddhist salute: "Female Tanyue, the abbot master and the presiding officer of Huguo Temple, Master Xuqing, want to invite Nu Tanyue to meet." ”
"Master Xuqing?" Shen Xihe raised his eyebrows slightly.
The most famous Buddhist temple in this dynasty must be Huguo Temple, and Master Xuqing is even more famous, that is, Emperor Youning summoned him, and he has to fight eight times out of ten.
Shen Xihe didn't believe in Buddhism, but she wanted to know why this Xuqing master wanted to see her, so she turned back again.
Whether it is the presiding officer of Jianfu Temple or the rumored Xuqing, they all wear simple robes, and if they rub shoulders on the street, they look like they are just ordinary monks.
I don't know if it's because she doesn't believe in Buddhism, but in short, she can't see any Buddha light and great wisdom.
"Master of hosting, Master of Xuqing." Shen Xihe performed the junior salute.
Xuqing replied to a Buddhist ceremony: "Disturb Tan Yue, the ingredients are the monks cleaning Tan Yue's meditation room, the room is pure and lush, I don't know if Tan Yue is blended?" ”
"Exactly." It turned out that spices attracted high monks.
"Tan Yue, can you order it again?" Xuqing asked.
Shen Xihe nodded to Biyu, the incense burner was still in Biyu's hand, and there was still the remaining incense in the sachet on Ziyu's waist.
The jasper will be lit, and the two masters will surround it, savor the incense, and finally look at each other, and both will see each other's grave joy.
"Tan Yue, can you give the incense recipe to Huguo Temple?" Xuqing took out a bunch of snow Zen Bodhi seeds, "The poor monk gave it away." ”
Snow Zen Bodhi seeds are like lotus flowers waiting to be released, warm as white jade, the color is deep and quiet, it is said that wearing can make people ice the skin, purify the soul.
"The master is polite, but it's just an ordinary recipe." Shen Xihe did not answer.
"Tan Yue's Jatihua fragrance is long, delicate and moisturizing, awakening and contemplative, which is by no means ordinary." Xuqing said, "Huguo Temple wants to recast the true body of the Buddha, and has been looking for the best Buddha incense, looking at Tan Yue and helping." ”
Shen Xihe knows that most temples cast Buddha statues, and will use Buddha incense to smear the Buddha's body, and the more incense the temple, the higher the requirements for Buddha incense.
"Master, I haven't shirked it, it's indeed the incense recipe of the ordinary Jatihua incense." Shen Xihe said sincerely.
"Amitabha." Xuqing believed Shen Xihe's words, "There are strangers in the world, blessed with nature, so Tan Yue must be rich in spirituality with incense." Xiangguoji Temple implored Tanyue to prepare Buddha incense for the Buddha statue of Xiangguoji Temple. ”
"Master ...... Void Clear"
"Tan Yue is driven by the future, and the poor monks try their best to help." Without waiting for Shen Xihe to refuse, he said again.
Shen Xi and this person do not have any noble qualities, and if they are lucky enough to make incense for the Buddha statue of Huguo Temple, they will definitely accept it, and they can also add glory to themselves with the help of the reputation of Huguo Temple.
Shen Xihe can't look down on these lights, but Shen Xihe thinks it's worth her labor.
Since only interests can move her, Shen Xihe smiled slightly: "The master carries love, and he is willing to do his best." ”
Xuqing gave the Buddha salute again, and handed the Snow Zen Bodhi in his hand to Shen Xihe again: "This thing is related to Tan Yue, Tan Yue, please accept it." ”
This time, Shen Xihe was polite, and took it with both hands: "Thank you, master." ”
"Please leave an address for Tan Yue, with the spices needed for incense, and the poor monk will send them later." Xuqing, as a senior monk of Huguo Temple, is very arrogant.
"The master gave him a gift of Bodhi seeds, a little spice, not enough to worry about." Shen Xihe was also generous, "When the incense is ready, the little girl will personally send it to the Huguo Temple." ”
Just when the time came, Huguo Temple was borrowed to give her a signboard for the Duhuo Building.
"Amitabha, Huguo Temple, thank you Tanyue for the gift." Xuqing is also not polite with Shen Xihe.
After chatting about business, Shen Xihe had nothing to talk about with the monks, so he took his leave.
As soon as she took Biyu and Ziyu and others out of the courtyard, she rushed over to meet a person, and Biyu stopped him: "Long eyes on the road." ”
"It's the villain who is reckless, and the nobleman spares his life." The man's face turned pale, and he repeatedly asked for forgiveness.
As soon as he spoke, a breath dispersed, and Ziyu unconsciously took a step back, although she did not show disgust, her brows were knotted.
"Let him go." Shen Xihe commanded.
This person is looking behind and running without seeing them, and this is a person with a short life, so why bother?
Jasper let him go, and the man bowed down again and again before leaving.
"What does it taste like in his mouth, it stinks!" Ziyu and the others ran away before they whispered.
Shen Xihe: "It's Guanyin Lotus." ”
The smell of Guanyin lotus is actually not stinky, but some people are not used to it, and they will feel stinky.
"What is Guanyin Lotus?" Ziyu had never heard of it.
"A thing that blooms only in the south......"
"Oh no, the old lady fell overboard, the old lady fell overboard!" Before Shen Xihe's words fell, there was an exclamation in the distance.
Shen Xihe has never cared about the affairs of others, and he is not a person who likes to join in the fun, so he turned a deaf ear and walked forward with Jasper and Ziyu.
However, she had to pass through the pond, and the pond had been heavily surrounded by the people she had attracted at the moment, and she had to push these people away if she wanted to go out of the door, so Shen Xihe took Jasper and Ziyu to stop and wait aside.
Then a young girl was seen scooping an old lady out of the water with the help of two monks, and then the girl also climbed up under the pull of the maid, and immediately a servant and a maidservant clothed them.
A monk led them to the courtyard of the meditation room, and Shen Xihe and Jasper, who were wearing curtain fences, turned sideways slightly to give way.
"I heard that this is the old lady of the Pingyao Hou Mansion who fell into the water, and the one who jumped down to save the old lady seems to be the concubine who the Pingyao Hou Mansion just picked up from outside."
"Look at that maid's dress is not as good as mine, maybe how she is treated badly in the Hou Mansion?"
"Who can be blamed for this? Pingyao Hou has covered the outer room for more than ten years, and whoever is the head of the family knows it, and he will not wait to see it. ”
"In such deep water, this maid jumped in to save people without even thinking about it, it can be seen that she is a kind-hearted ......"
The discussion in the crowd reached Shen Xihe's ears, she didn't squint, and the old lady Yu and the girl Yu of the Pingyao Marquis Mansion came towards her head-on with the support of the servants.
This Yu girl's palm-sized face is very delicate, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, and her pale face does not detract from her extraordinary appearance, and the hair that is wet and sticks to her cheeks adds a touch of delicate charm to her.
Her seemingly moist and clear pupils did not have the innocence and cleanliness of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl, a pair of very complex pupils.
Especially when she was being supported and entangled with Shen Xihe, the muddy smell of the pond water did not erase the breath of Guanyin Lotus on her body.
