Chapter 32: Marriage
A faint gray cloud smoke rose from the antique ancient temple, which was formed by countless believers burning incense, which shows how prosperous this Ciyun Nunnery is in the incense.
Han Xuemei and the three of them followed the pilgrims to the front of the mountain gate of Ciyun Nunnery, and what came into view was an antique Buddha hall hall, hexagonal cornices, blue bricks and gray tiles, and a huge bluestone building sign at the mountain gate, which said that three big characters were written in ancient seals: Ciyun Nunnery. There is also a five-foot-high bronze tripod on the bluestone platform below, in which countless incense sticks have been inserted. Almost all the believers knelt down in front of the tall bronze tripod and bowed a few times before walking through the building and going inside.
The faint smell of incense spreads, and the sound of the monks in the nunnery singing scriptures can be faintly heard. Even if a person with a heavy desire to kill is afraid that at this moment, he will be as calm as water.
Han Xuemei and the three of them walked through the building card, behind which is a palace house, and the tall bluestone building is the hall that says "pre-life", and from a distance, you can faintly see the statue of the god enshrined in the hall of the pre-life.
Several young intellectuals and nuns are guiding the pilgrims, and at the same time remind everyone that the place where the Buddha is watched and wished to visit the Buddha is only in the three halls of "Past Life", "Present Life" and "Coming Life", as for the back mountain or peak, it is the forbidden place of Ciyun Nunnery, and pilgrims are not allowed to enter at will.
Han Xuemei came to the Buddha Hall of the previous life, which was very huge, ten zhang high, at least fifty zhang in length and width, and facing the gate was the Oriental Medicine Buddha of the three Buddhas in the Buddha Gate.
The Medicine Buddha is also known as the Medicine Buddha Liuliguang Buddha, or the Medicine Buddha Liuliguang Rulai. But the world likes to call it the Great Doctor King Buddha. It is in charge of medicine, healing, prolonging life, and eliminating disasters, and many pilgrims who are suffering from diseases worship this Medicine Buddha here.
Han Xuemei and the other three were all cultivators who had cultivated to the highest level, so naturally they didn't have any diseases, so they walked back after a few glances.
Passing through the Buddha Hall of the previous life, about a hundred zhang away is the Buddha Hall of the present life, which is dedicated to the solemn Buddha Shakyamuni, in the third Buddha Pharmacist Buddha is in charge of medicine, and this Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha is in charge of the whole world, there are two smaller two Buddha statues on both sides of the huge golden body Dharma, which are the well-known Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva. The pilgrims who pray in the Buddha Hall of the present world are all want to be promoted to become wealthy, and their homes are healthy.
Han Xuemei and the three of them continued to walk forward, and came to the Buddha Hall of the Afterlife at the end, where the Buddha of the three Buddhas is enshrined, and the Buddha statues on both sides of it are the Bodhisattva Guanyin of great compassion and the Bodhisattva of Great Courage and Great Momentum. Almost all of the people who pray to God and Buddha here are young women, seeking marriage and children.
Xu Baofeng walked in front of the Buddha of Amitayus with a solemn face, turned back to Lu Linlang and Han Xuemei and said, "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Sister Han, you also come to worship, I heard that it is very spiritual to seek marriage here." ”
Lu Linlang couldn't resist Xu Baofeng's invitation, after all, her daughter's mentality, how could she not dream that she would be able to get a wishful man with both ability and political integrity in the future. So she said to Han Xuemei: "Senior Sister Han, go to the temple to burn incense, let's also worship." ”
Han Xuemei was stunned for a moment, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes like autumn water, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. This surprised Xu Baofeng and Lu Linlang, the two of them naturally knew this cold junior sister, and Lu Linlang's invitation was just a scene, thinking that Han Xuemei would definitely not follow the two of them to mess around, so the two didn't expect Han Xuemei to agree.
Xu Baofeng was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and pulled Han Xuemei and said, "Senior Sister Han, you have finally opened your mind." ”
Han Xuemei smiled rarely, and said, "Oh, didn't I open my mind before?"
The three of them knelt on the futon in front of the Amitayus Buddha, their hands were folded, their eyes were slightly closed, and they all silently made their wishes in their hearts, but Han Xuemei's mind at the moment actually flashed the figure of the bald young man, no one noticed her abnormality, and even she couldn't tell why she thought of Yun Xiaoxiao in her mind at this moment.
She shook her head secretly, smiled bitterly, and bowed respectfully to the golden body of the Buddha Amitayus. Seeing that Lu Linlang and Xu Baofeng picked up a bamboo tube in front of them and shook it, she hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it.
After a while, a bamboo stick fell in front of the three of them, and Xu Baofeng pulled the two of them to the side to untie the lot.
The sign was an old nun with a withered face, dressed in a gray-white monk's robe, which made people believe it first, and felt that such an old woman did not know how many hundred years old she should be very effective.
The old nun was slightly stunned when she saw the three people coming, it seemed a little strange, and with her experience and experience, she naturally saw that these three people were by no means extraordinary.
Xu Baofeng handed out the bamboo skewer and said, "Master, we have to untie the sign." ”
The old nun stretched out her withered hand and took the stick in Xu Baofeng's hand, glanced at it, and said, "This donor, what do you ask for?"
Xu Baofeng said with a smile: "Marriage." ”
"Oh. The old nun glanced at the bamboo skewer in her hand, which said "Ninety-two", she stretched out her hand to open a thick ancient book in front of her, checked it for a long time, and said: "This is the ninety-two sign, and the signature is: Mo Dao's future is so confused, looking back at Wangjun's hometown." ”
Xu Baofeng was surprised: "Is this a good sign or a bad sign?"
The old nun said slowly: "It's a sign, your marriage should be by your side, and he has always been interested in you, as long as you pay attention to the people around you, you will be able to achieve a good story." ”
"Ah!" Xu Baofeng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Shi." No, it's sesame oil money!"
Lu Linlang handed over the signature and said, "I, I also want to see the marriage." ”
The old nun looked at the bamboo stick, and it said "Qisan".
She opened the ancient thick book again, and suddenly frowned, Lu Linlang was startled when she saw this, and said, "Master, is there any problem?"
The old nun shook her head and said slowly: "The signature of your signature is: There are many branches in your life, but you are a red face." You...... Your marriage is more tortuous, according to the intention of the sign, there are many young men who are interested in you, you should choose carefully, if one day, a man is willing to die for you, he is the true son of your life. As the saying goes, a rage is a red face, and everyone can be killed. Sin!
"Huh?" Lu Linlang's mood instantly fell to the bottom, she was very smart, she naturally heard the meaning of the old nun's words, and made it clear that she was a red face and a disaster, she was very unhappy in her heart, and she didn't even give the sesame oil money.
Xu Baofeng took Lu Linlang's hand and comforted softly: "If you believe in this thing, if you don't believe it, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”
The old nun looked at Han Xuemei and said hoarsely: "This female donor, your signing ......"
Han Xuemei held the bamboo stick in her hand tightly, hesitated for a while, shook her head and said, "I still don't want it, I don't believe in these either." ”
Xu Baofeng said: "Senior sister, just show the teacher." ”
Lu Linlang also wanted to see the marriage of Han Xuemei, an iceberg beauty, and said: "Yes, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, if you ask for it, it doesn't hurt to show it to Mrs. Shi." ”
Countless thoughts flashed in Han Xuemei's heart, in fact, there were still some expectations faintly in her heart, but she still shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's not too early, let's go and visit Master Fan." ”
Lu Linlang and Xu Baofeng were a little disappointed when they saw her say this, but they knew that this junior sister's character, since she had decided, no one could change it.
The three of them continued to walk towards the inner hall, and behind them was the forbidden place where the pilgrims stopped, and there were two middle-aged nuns guarding the only wooden door, and when they saw the three of them coming, one of the middle-aged nuns folded their hands and said: "Amitabha, three donors, the back hall is a forbidden place for the nunnery, and pilgrims cannot enter casually." ”
Lu Linlang said: "This teacher, we are disciples of the Shushan faction, my name is Lu Linlang, and the two around me are my junior sisters Xu Baofeng and Han Xuemei. Because the family teacher Yunshui and the abbot of your nunnery are old friends, a few days ago, the Fan master sent a letter to the family teacher, so the three of us took the liberty to come to visit. ”
The two nuns were stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised, and the nun next to them said: "It turns out that the three donors are actually high-ranking disciples of the people of Shushan Yunshui, disrespectful, disrespectful." Come with me!"

Wilderness Trail
As it gets closer and closer to Tianshui City, the original wilderness ancient road has become wider at this moment, and the number of pedestrians on the road has gradually increased, some are on foot, some are driving carts, some are riding horses and donkeys, and even caravans pass by on the ancient road from time to time.
Yun Xiaoye and Li Ziye walked for most of the day, seeing that it was almost noon, there were still more than twenty miles away from Tianshui City, Yun Xiaoye was hungry and thirsty, and saw a towering tree next to the ancient road in front of him, and there was a tea shed supported by canvas under the big tree, he was overjoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Yezi, let's go to the tea shed over there to rest." ”
Li Ziye nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm really tired after walking for a long time." ”
This tea shed is very simple, opened by an elderly couple, just a shoddy big bowl of tea, and some steamed buns and pickles.
Yun Xiaoye asked for a pot of tea, and asked for four steamed buns and a plate of pickles, and Li Ziye sat in the tea shed and ate with relish, because it is twenty miles away from Tianshui City, travelers from the south to the north like to rest here, and spend a few big coins to drink a pot of tea.
Yun Xiaoye doesn't pay much attention to eating, he gobbles up the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he gobbles up the coarse tea and light rice, but the plum leaves just bite a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and put them down, which is obviously not in line with the taste.
She saw that Yun Xiaoxie was eating with relish, taking a mouthful of steamed buns and pickles, and occasionally drinking a sip of bad tea, she couldn't help but say, "Is it that the steamed buns of the two of us are different?"
Yun Xiaoye raised his head and said strangely, "What do you mean?"
Li Ziye said: "How come these tasteless cold steamed buns and hard-to-swallow pickles seem to turn into delicacies of the mountains and seas in your mouth? Don't you think it's hard to eat?"
Yun Xiaoye shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is it unpalatable? You are just too hypocritical, don't waste a good white flour steamed bun, if you don't eat it, give it to me." ”
Li Ziye glanced at the steamed bun in front of her that had been bitten by herself, and before she could speak, Yun Xiaoye had already reached out and grabbed the steamed bun in front of her, and bit off a third of it in one bite, so she really couldn't tell that he was the son of the head of the Shushan faction, one of the four giants of the righteous path today. It's exactly like Liba who carries a big bag among ordinary people, just like he hasn't eaten white-flour steamed buns.
Moreover, he also took a few bites of the steamed bun just now, and there was still his lip fragrance and tooth marks on it, this guy didn't care at all, it was really a peerless wonder that had bloomed for a hundred years.
Yun Xiaoye obviously didn't think about it that much, it was better to fill his stomach than anything else. The silver on his and Li Ziye's bodies combined was only more than four hundred taels, and if he didn't save money, he was afraid that he would starve to death on the streets before he was killed by the demon sect demons.
Soon, the four big steamed buns all went down to Yun Xiaoxie's stomach, he drank a bowl of tea, burped, and said with a smile: "It's full! Hey, it's still twenty miles away from Tianshui City, and it won't take until dusk to arrive, since you are picking fat and thin, just wait to starve!"
