Out of the first month, the weather gradually warmed up, to the second day of the second month of February, the middle and the festival of the second day, those thick jackets have been no longer worn, the ice and snow outside have basically melted, from a distance, the grass seems to have a faint green, the branches of each tree are emerging from the branches of the size of rice grains, seeing that spring is coming.

The Zhonghe Festival is the day of sacrifice to the lord of the land, but there is no Bogong Temple of a decent scale around Jingshi, and it is not convenient for everyone to go to the small temple, so they send the servants of the family to go to the Bogong Temple on the one hand, and on the other hand, they still go to the largest temple near Jingshi - Daxiangguo Temple.

With the lesson of going out last time, Shu Yao didn't want to go out again, but this time Shu Ya strongly persuaded her to go out, Shu Ya said:

"Daxiangguo Temple is the most famous temple in Beijing, such a temple is different from the outside, and not everyone can enter the back. Since the old lady has decided to go, she must have sent someone to set up a meditation room in advance, even if there are many people in front, there is a courtyard in the temple, and the back is also clean. After a pause, he said:

"Don't worry, I'm going to go this time. Your brother-in-law is no longer these days, I will always go to the temple to donate an everlasting lamp to him, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless him with no more misfortune in the next life. As he spoke, his eyes darkened.

Shu Yao turned around and hugged her sister, since this is the case, she must not worry about Shu Ya going out, she must go with her.

Mrs. Yu asked people to prepare the carriage early, because Mrs. Jiang did not go, and the sisters of Yuyao did not follow, there were only three female dependents, and there were not many carriages, so five were prepared, one for Mrs. Yu, one for Shu Ya and Shu Yao, and several maids and women with heads and faces used two, and the remaining one was still loaded with things.

Shu Yao asked Chun Tao to add three layers of soft cushions to the carriage, and sat on it to try it, as if sitting in a pile of cotton, Shu Yao was relieved. The people below took a step stool, Chun Tao supported Shu Ya below, Shu Yao held Shu Ya's hand on it, and Shu Ya got into the carriage with a little force.

After everyone was seated, Liang's mother marched in a convoy, followed by a large group of entourage, and it was difficult for everyone to act in unison, as if they were marching in the army.

Shu Yao remembered the part of coming to Beijing from Yongzhou to take the car, regretting that he shouldn't have lifted the curtain to look at Shen Junzhuo, smiled sadly in his heart, and took off the sleeve that Liu's mother gave her and put it beside him.

The carriage traveled for a while, and there were more people in front of the Daxiangguo Temple, but it was not a day to worship the Buddha seriously, and it was to greet the temple in advance, although the speed of the convoy was slower, but it did not delay too long, and entered the temple.

There were already monks waiting in front of the Zen gate, and when they saw Mrs. Yu, they shouted the Buddha's name, with a smile on their kind faces, and said after performing the Buddha ceremony:

"The old lady has always been good?"

Old Madam Yu said with a smile:

"Good, good, thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, the body is very healthy. It's just that I haven't been in the temple for a long time, is it good to host? ”

While leading everyone inside, the monk said:

"Although the host is old, he has won the mystery of Buddhism, and there is no disease and no disaster, which is also the blessing of my temple."

As he spoke, he first took everyone to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to worship the Buddha.

Shu Yao followed behind Mrs. Yu and Shu Ya and entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall. There are monks chanting Buddha music around them, and when they look up, they see three huge bronze statues, namely Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha III Buddha, all of whom are more than a foot high, all of them slightly bow their heads and look down at all beings, with a compassionate face.

She knelt down on the mat with them, and someone brought them incense, and all three of them reverently offered it and prayed before they got up.

Look at the hall again, there is an island Guanyin behind the three Buddhas, which is about the story of Guanyin Pudu in the South China Sea.
