When Wang Po heard this, she grinned, stuck out her tongue and said, "What a good man who doesn't wear a turban, so bold." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It's just that when I said this, I saw that the woman suddenly held her forehead and shook her head slightly, and only after a moment did she laugh in a low voice: "But it's also strange, these days when I am pregnant with this child, I always feel nowhere to settle in my heart, and when I see the Buddha and Bodhisattva, I feel more comfortable." Anyway, I listened to my mother's words, packed up some incense candles and vegetarian fruits tomorrow, and went to Jizo Nunnery to burn incense. ”

When Wang Po heard this, she made an appointment to go out at a certain time, met at a certain time, and talked some gossip before walking back to her small teahouse.

Waiting for Wu Dalang to come back from selling cooking cakes, and listening to his wife talk about it, Wu Dalang would only say: "This is a good thing, you and Wang's mother will go tomorrow." ”

The woman was accustomed to her husband's clumsy tongue, but at this time, she was a little tired.

After breakfast the next day, the woman carried a basket of incense candles and some fruit, vegetarian snacks and so on, and went to the Jizo Nunnery with the princess.

Although Jizo Nunnery is a nunnery, it occupies a huge area, and the courtyards that enter several times are all Buddhist halls, and there is an endless stream of male and female pilgrims who come in and out.

Wang Po was already familiar with Nun Xue, the abbot of this Tibetan Nunnery, so she took the woman's hand and went directly to Nun Xue.

When I arrived outside the double hall, I heard a chime in the main hall, and I heard a fat half-old nun, wearing a magnolia-colored robe, singing Buddhist songs:

"King Miaozhuang, the lord of the country, the young daughter Miaoshan Niang. The father wants to recruit a son-in-law, and he does not marry a husband when he cultivates. Sent to the forbidden garden, the more very-looking it is. The envoy of the White Bird Temple, the gods help each other. Send troops to burn the temple, and sincerely feel God. Persuade upstairs to be free, and the hardships will not descend. Escorted to the law field to hang, the tiger's back is hidden in the mountain. The soul returns to the underworld, and the ten halls shine light. The prisoner was liberated, and Xiangshan had to return to the sun. After nine years of practice, he has achieved great morality. A Buddha country, happy in the West. ”

After singing this Buddhist song, I heard the half-old nun say: "This partridge heaven is about how Guanyin Bodhisattva practiced that day, so that he could have a solemn incarnation and great power. If the public has faith and good thoughts, they will listen to the speech of the poor nun, when Guanyin Bodhisattva was not a monk, how to give birth to the Miaozhuang Palace, become a Miaoshan princess, and practice karma. ”

After that, the fat nun sang another song, talking about how King Miaozhuang asked for a son from Xiyue Taoist, Xiyue Taoist played Wuyue, and Emperor Tian sent three cultivators to be daughters with his family.

Wang Po stood in front of the temple door and listened to the fat nun singing Buddhist songs, but unexpectedly, the woman on the side sneered: "The king is also a nerd, since he spent tens of millions of furniture, he is bent on asking for a son, but what kind of fairy only gave a girl, and he also gave it to three, all of whom are bent on becoming a monk." If I were that king, I would know that the immortals are all like goods that come and go, and where is there a group of Taoist monks who are pious!"

When these words came out, the people listening to the Buddhist music in the hall couldn't help but be stunned and turned their heads to look at it. Seeing that these people were not good in their eyes, Wang Po hurriedly pulled the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Let's go and burn incense in front of the back to send the son and mother." He dragged her away half-pulled and half-dragged.

Turning the hall, all the way to the palace of sending the son, lit incense sticks in the incense burner, and put the fruit snacks on the table, Wang Po couldn't help complaining: "Daughter-in-law Wu, I know that you are a knowledgeable woman, but this also depends on the place, that is, Aunt Xue has always been good-natured, and she wants to change the master, how can I take you out today?"

The woman put the basket in the crook of her arm and said disdainfully: "Although I am not a man who can run a horse on his arm, if he provokes my sex, what kind of monk does he care?

After that, there was a trace of doubt between her eyebrows, and she didn't know where her anger came from.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about that, she was just anxious to cover her mouth, and before she could do anything, she heard someone smile and say, "Mother Wang, who are you going to worship the Buddha in the small nunnery today?"

With this smile, I saw that the Xue nun was holding a string of Buddha beads in her hand, and walked straight to the two of them, first looked at the daughter-in-law of Wuda, and then said with a smile: "Immeasurable Buddha, this lady looks so blessed, isn't she the daughter-in-law of Wu Dalang's family on Zishi Street? ”

Wang Po wondered, although this Xue nun claimed to be the head of the famous nun class in Yanggu County, she only liked to flatter those official wives and rich ladies, and the daughter-in-law of Wu Da was just a wife who sold cooking cakes, but she was worthy of being welcomed like this?

Nun Xue looked at Mrs. Wang's face and wondered, smiled slightly, but shouted: "Miaofeng, Miaoqu, your mother Wang is here, why don't you welcome into Yuntang quickly, please use some snacks for Mother Wang." ”

I saw that the two little nuns responded crisply, turned out of the front hall, took Wang Po's hand and said: "Mom hasn't been here for a long time, the eldest lady of the Ximen official's family rewarded us with a pound of good fruit tea, and it has not been moved, it was originally prepared for my mother." ”

The two little nuns smiled and groaned, and surrounded the princess in the middle, and Nun Xue immediately turned sideways towards the daughter-in-law of the martial arts: "Lady of the Wu family, please." ”

Although I don't know why this Xue nun is so enthusiastic when she sees her, Wuda's daughter-in-law suddenly swells up with an instinctive alarm, but there is a slight pain in her abdomen, and her legs involuntarily follow Nun Xue.

Bypassed the palace of sending the child, and passed several palaces, until the garden behind the Jizo Nunnery, there is a small building in the garden, and there is a plaque on the lintel, which reads the word "Manjusri Pavilion".

There was no need for Nun Xue to greet her, and the daughter-in-law of Wu walked towards the Buddha Pavilion step by step.

In the small building, enshrine a Bodhisattva golden body, the Bodhisattva wears a delicate crown, wears a heavenly robe, a pair of hands together as a chest, a green lotus is born in the palm of the palm, the lotus holds the sutra in the heart, and the small sword of King Kong is erected, which is the treasure of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

But behind the Bodhisattva, another pair of arms stretched out, holding the sun wheel in one hand and the moon wheel in the other, faintly shining, showing an extraordinary meaning.

The most strange thing is that in front of this Bodhisattva treasure, there are no incense candles, and there are no fruit offerings, but there are rows of very fine carved wooden boards, covered with a thin layer of soil, planted with some thin and thin flowers and plants, as well as freshly sprouted bean and wheat seeds.

Each piece of wood is placed with some extremely delicately carved flowers, trees, fish and birds, etc., some of the cold ones are made of yellow wax, and the more valuable ones are made of gold and jade. On each plank, there is also a handsome boy wearing a lotus robe and holding a lotus canopy, some of which are made of mud, and some are carved of gold, silver, jade, and fragrant wood.

When Wuda's daughter-in-law saw it, she was puzzled: "These are all the things that are used to decorate the grain board, the Wusheng Garden and the run-in Luo Waer, the little girl plays, how can they be used to offer to the Buddha?"

Nun Xue stood behind her, and when she heard her question, she smiled and said, "After all, the lady is much shallow, and I don't know the mystery of my Buddhism." ”

She walked to the statue of the Bodhisattva, took out a crystal clear net bottle from her sleeve, dipped some pure water in the bottle with willow branches, sprinkled it on those pocket gardens, sprinkled it on the side, and said: "Although it is said that Qixi is begging, but I think that the cowherd and the weaver girl, only once a year, although you are the star lord, where is the leisure to listen to those things that are blessed by the world? However, my monks are merciful and compassionate, and the bodhisattvas have thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, and they can best listen to the sorrows of the world. ”

As she spoke, she sprinkled all over the pocket gardens on the offering tables, and then said, "Lady, please see, this Manjushri Bodhisattva, before she became a monk, was the sister of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and God enshrined the Great Good Manjushri Bodhisattva, and gave her a green-maned white lion as a foot strength. This Bodhisattva has great magical powers, holding the sun and moon in both hands, can shine on the world, it is really great mercy and compassion, good can solve all demons, if the public worships her, the civil official will have official fortune and prosperity, the military attache will be invincible, if the farmer worships her, the five grains are abundant every year, the six animals are prosperous, the man worships her, he has a beautiful wife in his life, the lady worships her, he has a good person to rely on for life, the descendants are rich and long, and the benefits are indescribable for a while. ”

Speaking of this, Wuda's daughter-in-law already felt a little weird, shook her head and said: "I don't usually believe in gods and Buddhas, and the Han family doesn't have many silver silks to come out to support the Bodhisattva, Senior Aunt Xue, you slowly take care of the Bodhisattva's incense here, and I will go home first." ”

As she spoke, she was about to walk out, but she heard the Xue nun say lightly: "The lady is a person with great roots and a great future, why should she go in such a hurry? ”

As she spoke, Wuda's daughter-in-law sat down on the ground and landed on a futon.

Only the Xue nun said in a slow voice: "But although Manjushri Bodhisattva has great powers, after all, he is not a Buddha, there is a handsome waiter by his side, named Venerable Runhe Luo, who has received the decree of the Buddha of the Western Heavens, and has led the world's hundred grasses, hundred grains, hundred flowers, and hundred fruits. It's just that this Venerable One was killed by a wild boar when he encountered a demon calamity......"

When Wuda's daughter-in-law heard this, she said in her heart: "Immortals can still be bitten to death by wild boars, such useless immortals are really rare." ”

Nun Xue continued: "When Manjushri heard that Venerable Run-Luo had been robbed and died, he mourned greatly in his heart, so he made a great power and made a garden of all kinds of spiritual flowers such as the autumn peony and anemone, and placed the body of Venerable Run-Luo in it, and wept a lot. The tears of the Bodhisattva are not as idle as waiting for leisure, and the drops are turned into nectar dew, moistening the spiritual grass in the garden, and protecting the Venerable One's body from being damaged. When the Bodhisattva cried to the end of his tears, the heavens shook, and my Buddha came to see it with his eyes on the Eagle Peak in the West Heaven, knowing that it was the Run-in Luo Venerable who was robbed, and Manjushri Bodhisattva wept, so that the Buddha decreed with the Ten Palaces of Yama, so that the Run-in Luo Venerable could return to the yang. It's just that at that time, Emperor Dongyue said to me Buddha: "Life and death are the number of days, and this run-in Venerable Luo Tianding should be robbed by this, indulge him and return to the yang, and he will have to come back again in the future, it is not a game." It is better to let Venerable Run-in Luo meet with Manjushri in the human world every early spring every year, and wait until summer goes to autumn, and then returns to the underworld, so that he can become a reincarnation. ’”

Speaking of this, Nun Xue sighed with emotion: "So the two star masters of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl said to Manjushri Bodhisattva: 'My husband and wife meet every year on the Chinese Valentine's Day, that is, at the beginning of autumn, they will make a front stop for Venerable Luo and let the world know that His Holiness bids farewell to the Bodhisattva every year and enters the period of the underworld alone. Therefore, every day of the Chinese Valentine's Day in the world, we should prepare a grain slab, plant flowers and sprouts, and make offerings to this run-in Luo'er to comfort Manjushri's heart. And when the Bodhisattva saw that the good men and women were offering to Run-in Luo'er, he rejoiced and showed kindness, just like the lady who listened to the teachings of the poor nun today. ”

Speaking of this, Nun Xue was full of relief, clasped her hands and praised: "The lady planted a great blessed field, and got a great reward, and she came to my door today, because my Dharma will have been decided." ”

"It's fateful. ”

With a "fate", the row of run-in Luo puppets enshrined in front of the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva did not say a word, but the pair of small pupils carved by craftsmen turned silently and fell on the daughter-in-law of Wuda.

These dolls, which are said to represent a certain Venerable in the West, whether they are made of clay, gold, or jade, are only the size of a palm, and it is difficult for even a practitioner to notice the slight change in the angle of their eyes at the first time.

But Wuda's daughter-in-law saw it, looked at those cute dolls with smiles on the corners of their mouths, and showed eyes that did not match their immature and handsome faces.

She suddenly felt very cold on her body.

However, there was a warm atmosphere between her chest and abdomen, and it seemed that the fetus showed extremely happy emotions.

Nun Xue bowed to Wuda's daughter-in-law again: "The old nun respectfully invites the lady to Futian." ”

A "please", but there was no warmth after the saluted posture, and after a while, there was silence in the Manjushri Pavilion.

......

.........

But where the temple is viewed, there is always a release pond inside the door, and beggars are always indispensable outside the door.

And the fish and turtles in the release pond and the beggars under the mountain gate are the best objects used by the world to express their goodwill.

Since I had spare money, I bought baskets of soft-shelled turtle loaches, poured them into the release pond, and watched the eight kings stir up a pool of blood to express their admiration for Buddhism and personal compassion.

Naturally, they will also throw down a few copper plates, throw down a few steamed buns, and change the weak voice "The Buddha blesses you with old wealth and longevity, hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren." ”

It's just that since there has been a temple and palace, there are bloody hunting scenes in the release pond every day, but the copper plate steamed buns that fall into the beggar's bowl are always not enough.

Being a human being is always hard, even if it's a gang of beggars.

Recently, the beggar brothers outside the Jizo Nunnery feel that this field is a little unbearable, because the new guy is too ruthless.

Hou Lin'er, the beggar who used to be in charge of more than a dozen little beggars outside the Jizo Nunnery, sat a little far away under the wall of the Jizo Nunnery, spreading out his torn jacket to catch lice, and looked at the white-haired black man sitting cross-legged in front of the gate of the Jizo Nunnery with some fear and respect.

I don't know where that guy came from, he looks like a mute, and his legs and feet don't seem to be very good, but the iron crutch makes it so heavy that it drives all the beggars away, and he is the only one who covers the field of Jizo Nunnery.

But after taking advantage of this scene, he didn't beg for food, just took a nap and basked in the sun. It's just that although this guy is darker, his appearance is good, and his body is stronger, so he doesn't look like a character in the word. On the contrary, it was the big girl and the little daughter-in-law who came to Shangxiang, one or two, who were all a little evil by him, and when they left the nunnery, they had to sit in the teahouse next to them for a long time, peeking at this guy from a distance.
