Chapter 228 (Second Watch)

The winter morning was already very cold, and there was a thin layer of ice in the lotus pond.

The mandala has been arranged by the pond, and the subordinates have been cleared, only Han Sixing, Han Siqi and some disciples in the clan are there.

Han Jun and Han Rui went to the outer courtyard with the patriarch and the elders of the clan to greet the monks.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

A young man lowered his voice and said excitedly.

Han Jun and the patriarch Han Zhang led the way, and the one walking in front was the master Qingde of the fairy wind bone.

Followed by a group of monks dressed in blue and gray monks' robes, holding magic weapons, extremely spectacular.

Everyone by the pond lowered their eyebrows, folded their hands reverently, and greeted the master, silent and solemn.

As an elder of the Dingguo Mansion, Mrs. Han stepped forward and recited the Buddha's name, and said respectfully, "Master Hardship is here in person, it is cold in winter, and all the masters are afraid that they will suffer......

Master Qingde slowly recited the Buddha's name and said slowly, "The old donor's words are wrong. Regardless of the compassion of Buddhism, it is our duty to transcend the dead, so we will say that "the teacher has something to do, and the disciple obeys his labor", and the uncle misses his deceased mother, and the poor monk should come to fulfill his filial piety."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Han Jun, "This is the lotus pond."

Old Madam Han's face was red and white for a while, she seemed to be just polite, right? How was it refuted in public by the master!

The old lady of Xifu shook her head in disappointment, didn't she just blame the big girl for being ignorant and not compassionate, and inviting the monks to come over in the winter?

You say to your face that your uncle is not, no one is a fool, it's no wonder that Master Qingde can be happy!

Han Jun had a great impression of Master Qingde, and nodded, "Exactly. The dog girl thought that after the ceremony, the lotus root in the pond would be blessed, and then she would go out to spread blessings and accumulate merit for her inner son."

Master Qingde bowed his head and said, "Uncle Xiao is worthy of being a master of Xuanzhi, and with this Buddha heart, it is beyond the reach of our juniors."

Everyone present was stunned, what kind of Buddha heart can a little girl have, Master Qingde, you are going to become a Buddha in the future, is this kind of sycophant really appropriate?

Does it affect your Buddhahood?

In addition to being stunned, they each made their own small calculations.

It turns out that the Dharma is set here and there is this plan, and the lotus root blessed by the master is a treasure. They are close to the water, and they don't know how many catties they can grab when they arrive.

Han Jun was also very surprised, although he also felt that his daughter was the best, no one could match, but in Buddhism, he was praised by the master like this, he still felt a little too much.

He modestly said, "Where, where. She's a little older, and she's clearer and more thorough."

Patriarch Han Zhang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and Dingguo Gong's words were not very modest.

Han Zhang is close to antiquity, slowly with a light fur, with the style of a master and a gentleman, to the former official to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

When the Empress Dowager Lu died, he went to Ling'an Temple to invite Master Qingde to enter the palace to do things for the Empress Dowager Lu, but he didn't say anything about him. Although Ling'an Temple enjoys royal worship, it never regards itself as a royal temple, and there is not much special treatment for people in the royal family in Ling'an Temple.

In the end, it was the newly enthroned emperor who came forward and knelt in front of the Buddha for a day and night, and the master was impressed.

He knew best how heavy this ritual was.

Master Qingde smiled slightly, "The poor monk has no awards, Uncle Xiao's Buddhism can cross people and resolve disasters, and that realm is not something that anyone can achieve."

Han Jun's cold face flashed with arrogance, and he laughed loudly, "The master is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and he can see it. That girl was a little blessed, so she said that the grain ship of the Southwest Army, if it weren't for the Wei Xing Dart Bureau just giving her a guard to remind her that there was a ground movement, the Southwest Army would have run out of food. After this battle, I don't know how many soldiers have lost their lives......

Han Jun talked about the people in the frontier from the soldiers, then to the safety of the border, and finally to the Great Zhou Sheji.

Patriarch Han Zhang saw that Dingguo Gong blew up his daughter, and attributed the safety of Da Zhou Sheji to a little girl, is it really good?

He hurriedly interrupted, "Master, when do you think things will start?" What else needs to be done?"

"Don't worry, the poor monk hasn't worshiped yet

See Uncle Shi."

Master Qingde turned to Han Jun and asked, "I don't know where Uncle Junior is?"

Han Jun smiled, "She must be in her own yard. Ben sent her to come over."

"Uncle Xiao is an elder, and he doesn't dare to work for her old man. Please also ask the donor to send someone to lead the way, and the poor monk will go to greet the little uncle."

Han Jun smiled and bowed, "That's fine, my father will lead the way."

Master Qingde said to a monk behind him, "Jingming, you haven't seen your uncle and ancestor yet, you can go with you."

Jingming is the Dharma name of the abbot of Ling'an Temple, and he is the only disciple of Master Qingde.

The great monk Jingming said respectfully, and left the pond behind Han Jun and Master Qingde.

The people who stayed behind looked at each other.

Master Qingde is too respectful to the eldest lady!

This is not just respect for seniority, it is clearly maintenance and respect from the bottom of my heart!

Han Zhang looked at the direction where the master was gone, and stroked his beard, "Our Han clan has produced such a person, and the Han clan is very lucky."

The clan elder beside him smiled and said, "Yes, after this ceremony, the Han clan's reputation will inevitably be great, and his status will be further enhanced."

Han Zhang shook his head slowly, "The Han clan's reputation is already too great, and the battle exploits are a double-edged sword......

He suddenly stopped and changed his words, "Dingguo Gong's killing is too heavy, and it will eventually affect the blessings of future generations, with the master of Ling'an Temple to resolve it, and with the blessing of the Lord of Zhaoping County, the Han family will be able to prosper for generations."

Several clan elders stroked their beards, and thoughts flashed in their eyes.

Han Youning made glutinous rice osmanthus cake in the small kitchen, and Master Qingde arrived.

Xiao Ruzhi happily shouted "Old Ancestor", and then shouted in surprise, "Glutinous rice osmanthus cake!"

Holding the glutinous rice cake plate in the small kitchen, he hummed and ate it.

Aunt Sun lovingly touched the little monk's bare head, and said distressedly, "Poor child, you can't eat to become a monk?"

Han Youning invited them to sit down in the hall and served tea and osmanthus cakes.

She first received the salute from their master and apprentice, and then said to Master Qingde, "This Dharma is my master and abbot, but I have some unavoidable hardships, and I hope to forgive me."

Master Qingde said slowly, "All laws have cause and effect, and the master and nephew should also do a Dharma for Master Chen. Uncle Shi doesn't have to blame himself."

"Cause and effect? Why did the Master say that?"

Master Qingde stroked his beard and said, "Ten thousand laws cause and effect, there are six causes and four conditions, the so-called six causes...... The cause and effect of Chen Shizhu is in the cause and effect of the family, and it is increasing the upper cause......

Han Youning frowned.

When the master said this, it seemed that she was stupid.

When Master Xuanzhi talked to her about the Dharma, he would not be so profound, and he would go deep and simple.

Master Qingde looked at her expression and smiled, "Uncle Shi doesn't have to dwell on the past, everything is determined. When the time comes, the confusion will be solved."
