The carriage stopped outside Lin San Temple.

As soon as a few people got out of the car, they met a person dressed as a Taoist priest at the gate of Lingshan Temple.

Zhao Wanning didn't see him originally, but when he stepped into the temple gate with his feet, he was stopped by the Taoist priest.

"This fellow Daoist is slow." The Taoist priest was dressed in a black and white robe, holding a floating dust in his hand and growing a long beard.

Zhao Wanning looked at him suspiciously: "I don't know what advice the chief has?" ”

"I have a relationship with a Taoist friend, and I want to make a hexagram for the Taoist friend. I don't know if it's convenient for friends. ”

I don't know why, as soon as Zhao Wanning saw him, he felt that he was not an outsider who was serious about cultivation.

He looked at Zhao Wanning's eyes with a hint of imperceptible greed.

"You're a Taoist priest too." Xiao Hongyi said: "If you don't cultivate yourself in your own Taoist temple, why did you come to the temple?" Did you come to steal business with the Buddha? ”

The Taoist priest was stunned, he didn't expect that a woman would talk to him so mercilessly.

The people of this dynasty are open, and those who cultivate immortals, ask questions, and worship Buddha perform their duties and are not restricted.

Even due to the existence of the Qin Heavenly Prison, the status of cultivators is very high. From the holy prince to the common people, they all treat Taoist priests respectfully.

Xiao Hongyi is naturally not among them.

The Taoist priest smiled: "Poor Dao is indeed destined for this Taoist friend, otherwise he would not have met a Taoist friend at the door of the Buddha's house." ”

"Fellow Daoists, you might as well sit down, and I will make a divination for you."

Zhao Wanning instinctively refused: "Thank you for this Taoist." It's just that the little woman believes in Buddhism, I'm afraid that she will collide with Zhang Tianshi, and I ask the Taoist not to be surprised. ”

Zhao Wanning took Xiao Hongyi to the temple after saying that, followed by silver candles and painting screens.

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Wanning, but was blocked by Xiao Hongyi, who was quick-eyed, drew his sword.

Xiao Hongyi looked at the Taoist priest with a smile and said, "Buddhism is important, please don't act rashly." ”

Xiao Hongyi wanted to continue to talk about it, but was pulled away by Zhao Wanning.

Several people hurriedly entered Lin San Temple.

"Why are you holding me back? I don't think he's a serious Taoist. In the blue sky and daylight, he dared to do something to a woman in a Buddhist place like a temple, and he should be arrested and sent to Dali Temple for trial. Xiao Hongyi said sullenly.

Zhao Wanning explained: "I also feel that something is wrong with him. But he is a Taoist priest after all, and if we have a conflict with him, what will he do behind his back? ”

"What little gestures? Does the practice of opening the altar hurt you and me? Xiao Hongyi asked rhetorically: "Don't you always say anything that is silent and weird?" Why are you afraid of him as a stinky Taoist priest at this time? ”

Zhao Wanning didn't know how to explain it, originally she didn't believe in these strange powers, but she was indeed reborn, and she had some strange dreams one after another. Now, I have to believe it.

Zhao Wanning said: "He has always wanted to pull me to fortune telling, and he just wanted to make money." You and I have escaped, so don't care. ”

Xiao Hongyi was indignant: "This kind of half-hung Taoist priest just wants to use fortune-telling to cheat and wait for an opportunity to collect money." The people of Dali Temple should be allowed to arrest them. ”

Entering the main hall, Zhao Wanning respectfully took the incense and bowed to the Buddha three times.

Zhao Wanning knelt on the futon reverently. She reverently recited in her heart, if you are a Buddha and you have a spirit in the sky, please give me some hints. Why am I born again? And why do you have these strange dreams? I vaguely felt that this was not just a dream, but this dream was different from this life.

Xiao Hongyi thought about it, also took incense, learned from her to bow to the Buddha three times, and then knelt on the podium, clasped her hands together and said: "I hope the Buddha can bless the northern border pass safely." ”

Zhao Wanning turned his head to look at her.

Xiao Hongyi explained: "It's all here, let's ask for peace of mind." My father and mother and brother are still at the border, and if there is a war, they will go to war again. ”

Zhao Wanning nodded. She remembered yesterday's dream, Beidi came to attack, the border pass was lost, the court negotiated peace, and the princess got married.

She always felt that this was not a simple dream.

The incense of Lin San Temple is prosperous, and it is said that it is very spiritual to make a wish in the temple, and many people come to visit it.

Several plainly dressed women helped each other into the main hall.

Their clothes were patched and their shoes were stained with mud. It seems to have been a long way.

A few people chanted words on the futon. I couldn't hear what was being said, but the accent was definitely not from the vicinity of the capital.

I thought I heard that Lingshan Temple was magical, and I came from thousands of miles away.

Zhao Wanning remembered that Xiao Hongyi had only recently returned to Beijing from the north, so she asked, "Did you hear anything strange on the way back?" ”

"What kind of news?" Xiao Hongyi said: "Does the old emperor of Beidi who is about to die of illness count?" ”

Zhao Wanning nodded: "Of course, I have lived in the capital for a long time." Trapped in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, I don't know much about these things. ”

"I don't even know about the old emperor." Xiao Hongyi pointed to the sky with his finger, "It's still my brother, who caught a spy from Beidi in the city and tried it." ”

"When I left Youzhou, the news had not been confirmed, and my father had not yet reported it to the imperial court. However, some time has passed, and if the information is true, it is possible that it has been presented to the Holy Lord. ”

Zhao Wanning was thoughtful. She asked, "If the old emperor dies, who will succeed him?" ”

"It should be the eldest prince of Beidi, what's it called? What is Jerod? Xiao Hongyi frowned and thought hard.

Zhao Wanning's heart lifted. If she remembers correctly, last night in a dream, Beidi succeeded the fifth prince Yeluyan instead of the eldest prince.

"Oh! I remembered that the eldest prince's name was Yeluqi. ”

Zhao Wanning thought for a while, and then asked, "Then do you know what the five princes of Beidi are called?" ”

"I know the five princes, Yeluyan." Xiao Hongyi said without thinking: "He is the most unfavored prince of Beidi, he likes the culture of our Dajin, and often sneaks into Youzhou City in caravans. My dad and my brother caught him several times. But what do you ask him to do? ”

Zhao Wanning's heart sank suddenly.

Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Zhao Wanning had never heard about Beidi from anyone. How could she dream that the fifth prince of Beidi was called Yeluyan?

The women who had come from afar sat down under the trees to rest.

The sun was scorching, and some monks saw their hard work, so they invited them to the meditation room to rest.

The woman at the head said in an inauthentic official language: "Thank you, little master." I heard that Lingshan was very effective, so I rushed from Yuanzhou. There has been a severe drought in Yuanzhou this year, and it has not rained for several months. He saw that the crops in the field were about to be harvested, but all of them died in the field because of the drought. We had no choice but to beg the Buddha to let us go, and have mercy on us miserable people. ”

Zhao Wanning heard a cold sweat.

The land of Wonju is fertile and has always been a land of abundance. She had never heard about the drought in Wonju. I don't know if the court knows about it.

While Zhao Wanning was still thinking, a monk walked over.

"This donor, the host of my family invites you to talk about it in the meditation room."

"Me?" Zhao Wanning pointed at herself: "Are you sure you invited me?" ”

The monk nodded.

"Are you talking about the abbot being a master of good deeds?"

The monk nodded again.

Zhao Wanning really felt strange. Everything today is weird.

"Since the abbot master has invited you, you can go." Xiao Hongyi said, "If you are afraid, I will accompany you." ”

A few people followed the monk through the heavy hall to a quiet Zen monastery.

"A few female donors, please wait in the courtyard." The monk said to Xiao Hongyi, "Our abbot only invites this donor. ”

"What's wrong with me coming along? Am I, a weak little girl, afraid that I will do something bad? Xiao Hongyi said.

The monk looked embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Wanning patted Xiao Hongyi soothingly: "Don't embarrass others, little master." Wait for me right here. ”

Xiao Hongyi reluctantly agreed, she walked to the stone table under the tree in the courtyard and sat down, and said, "I'll sit down here." If anything, call me. ”

Zhao Wanning nodded, and then entered the meditation room alone.

"Hey, little master." Xiao Hongyi clasped his arms with both hands, "Don't you give our three female donors a pot of tea?" ”

The monk's face was embarrassed: "Female benefactor, please wait a moment." ”

In a short time, he brought a pot of tea and three teacups.

"The teacher's order is difficult to disobey, and I ask the female benefactor to forgive the sin."

"Okay." Xiao Hongyi raised his chin, "Then I'll be an adult and ignore the villain." ”

Inside the meditation room.

I saw a monk in a red robe sitting indoors meditating, thinking that he was the abbot of Lin Shan Temple.

As soon as Zhao Wanning entered the meditation room, the master suddenly opened his eyes.

The Master of Good Works looked old, with a silver beard. His eyes were like torches, and his eyes fell on Zhao Wanning with kindness.

In his gentle eyes, Zhao Wanning relaxed.

The monk said, "Don't come unharmed. ”

Zhao Wanning nodded reflexively, and then asked, "You are the master of good deeds, right?" ”

"It's the old man." The monk replied.

Zhao Wanning felt strange, she hadn't seen the Master of Good Deeds, why did she think that the Master of Good Deeds had seen her.

"This donor, the old man invited you today to tell you that it is not easy to be reborn, and please cherish it."

Hearing the word rebirth, Zhao Wanning instantly stood up and said emotionally: "Master, do you know anything about me?" It is to be born again, and I am born again......"

The Master of Good Deeds shook his head: "The old man only knows that you are not a person in the world. ”

Zhao Wanning was incoherent and said, "Then why do you want to say that I am reborn......

"This sentence was brought to the donor by someone who asked the old man."

Zhao Wanning took two steps forward: "You mean that someone knows that I am reborn, and I also told you, who is this person?" ”

The Master of Good Deeds shook his head: "The Buddha said, don't say, don't say. When the time comes, the donor should follow his heart. ”

Zhao Wanning continued to ask: "Master, you also know that I am not a person in the world, and now I am walking alone in this world that does not belong to me, which is really difficult. I've had nightmares a lot lately, but I always felt like it wasn't just a dream, it was so real, as if I had experienced it myself, but I really hadn't experienced it. I really don't know what to do, so I ask the master to guide me. ”

The Master of Good Deeds shook his head again: "Everything has its own arrangement, and there is a fixed number of things that the donor does, and the donor can follow his heart." ”

"If it's just about Wanning herself, Wanning should do whatever she wants, but these things seem to be about the people and the country, Wanning is really worried. If it is because of Wanning, irreparable consequences......"

"If the benefactor is confused, he can consult with someone he trusts."

"Now the only people who know that I am not the one who is in charge are you and the one you spoke to who asked you to speak. Even if Wan Ning said the worry in her heart, I'm afraid no one would believe it. ”

"Amitabha. The donor is far away. ”
