Chapter 311: Strange People and Strange Temple
The next day, the capital was covered with heavy snow, and the countryside in the city was covered with thick snow, as if wrapped in a huge silver mink fur. ~~
In Huangcun, a western suburb of Beijing, a magnificent temple with four courtyards lies silently in the snow, and if it weren't for the occasional ringing of a few bells from the depths of the temple, one would almost think that the temple has been abandoned for a long time.
At this moment, Gao Jie followed Master Clearance Master Tai to step on the snow and was standing in front of the temple gate. After looking at the closed temple gate, and then looking up at the plaque of "Edict Shuntian Baoming Temple" hanging high, Gao Jie said softly: "Master, this Baoming Temple can't even see half of the pilgrims, and even the door is closed tightly in broad daylight, it can't be a bad management and a big deal, right?"
The Void Master glared at him and said, "Nonsense! Baoming Temple is not an ordinary temple, it is like this on weekdays. In a year, only on the New Year's Day of the first lunar month, the 15th Lantern Festival, the 19th February Guanyin Bodhisattva Christmas, the March 3rd Queen Mother Pan Tao Meeting, the April 8th Buddha bath, the 8th day of the soup porridge and other festivals, will the temple gate be opened, and people will be released to burn incense. ”
Gao Jie smacked his tongue and said, "What a big shelf!"
The master of the clear space said in a low voice: "Before, this temple was called Huangcun Temple, which was originally an ordinary small temple, since the abbot Lu Niu of the mountain and Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty had a relationship, Lu Niu was recognized by the emperor as the imperial sister, and Huangcun Temple turned into the Huanggu Temple admired by everyone. In the Wanli years, the Empress Dowager Cisheng and the Guiyuan Master were too close, and led the public to donate a bronze bell, this Huanggu Temple is even more famous, Wanli Emperor Qin gave the Shuntian Baoming Temple plaque, so the official title became the Baoming Temple. Because of his affiliation with the royal family, not only did the temple property be protected by the imperial court, but also enjoyed many privileges, enjoying the privilege of exempting the grain tax, and the officials, soldiers, and civilians were not allowed to encroach on the temple property and destroy the temple. Its benefactors, pilgrims, have also evolved from village women and farmers to relatives of the emperor. Guiyuan Master often uses the name of Our Lady to purify the concubines, princesses, and palace maids in the forbidden garden of the Imperial Palace, and these people are intertwined with each other, and Baoming Temple has a solid foundation and stands tall. ”
Gao Jie touched the pink mink fur he was wearing, and said dissatisfiedly: "Even so, why did you take the trouble to let me wear this girly robe?"
The void master turned his head to look at Gao Jie, who was dressed as a woman, and saw that his head was wrapped in a hooded hat, at first glance, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was more handsome than the eldest girl, so he immediately covered his mouth and chuckled: "It makes sense for you to dress up like this! However, this female family is quite suitable for you!"
Gao Jie was embarrassed and protested: "Master, you are disrespectful to the elderly, and you don't tease your apprentice like this!"
Master Clearance raised the index finger of his right hand and smacked him on the skull: "Dare to say that, Master, are you looking for a fight?!"
Gao Jie muttered with a bitter face: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps!"
The Master of Clearance scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, don't be ignorant of good people's hearts, do you really think that Master is willing to see you dressed up like this? On weekdays, if it is not a festival, or the family of the great lord's house, if there is any good deed that you are willing to hang up your robe and allow a banner to enter the lamp, you must ask the celebrant to ask for a small ticket, and give it to the monks and nuns who guard the door, so that you can put it in!
Gao Jie took out a silk ticket, looked at it, and then suddenly said: "No wonder Uncle Wei stuffed this thing for me yesterday, it turned out to be a ticket from the back door!"
The Void Master ignored him and walked straight to a small door next to the gate, knocking a few times. After a while, there was a "squeak" sound, the small door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged female nun wearing a gray monk's hat shrunk her neck, poked her head out, her face was obviously displeased, she frowned and looked at the pure space master, seeing that it was an old nun with a treasure appearance, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out of the small door, bowed and saluted: "Xiao Ni Huiyuan, I have seen Shitai, I don't know why Shitai came to this temple?"
The Void Master returned the salute, randomly signaled Gao Jie to hand over the silk ticket to Huiyuan, and said with a smile: "Poor Ni Clearspace, I came to see Master Guiyuan!"
After carefully checking the receipt, Huiyuan said embarrassedly: "The receipt is indeed the Great Inner Division's Rite Supervision Office, and Xiao Ni should have invited Shi Tai into the temple according to the regulations." It's just that the presiding master is practicing behind closed doors in the Lu Zu Hall today, and he told him in advance that unless there is an important matter, he will refuse to see guests, so please ask the master of the pure space to come back another day!"
Gao Jie was annoyed when he saw Huiyuan like this, and was about to speak, but he saw that the Pure Sky Master was smiling, and stretched out his right palm against the small door and said: "It's not an important matter, why do poor nuns come in the snow, and ask Huiyuan Xiaoshi to pass it on on his behalf!"
Nun Huiyuan said impatiently: "The host has an order, I won't see a guest today!" said as she wanted to close the small door. Who knew that she had closed it several times, but the wooden door was too resisted by the void master, but where could it be closed. Baoming Temple is respected in the status of the Beijing teacher, the monks and nuns in the temple are pampered, and the family members of the princes and ministers do not dare to deliberately make things difficult, Hui Yuan saw that the pure space master is just an old nun in an ordinary monk's robe, and he dared to be so rude, and suddenly became angry, and shouted: "The imperial temple is heavy, how can it be allowed to be wild?!"
The Void Master said lightly: "The two of us came from afar, and they also asked for a small ticket according to the rules, but the little nun was not even allowed to enter the temple gate, how can we blame the poor Nisa Ye?!"
"You!" Huiyuan became more and more annoyed, and used his internal force to close the door with all his might. The small wooden door rattled and rattled, but it did not move a single inch under the single palm of the Clearance Master, Huiyuan's originally pale face was flushed, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and he was too stalemate with the Clearance Master.
At this moment, a pleasant voice came from inside the door: "Senior sister, what's wrong?"
Huiyuan nun turned around and said, "Jiu'er, there is an arrogant and unreasonable old nun who forcibly wants to see the host, and refuses to leave against the door!"
"Oh?!, get out of the way, let me see!" As soon as the words fell, Huiyuan stepped aside, and a young woman stepped out from behind her, standing in front of the Void Master.
This is called "Jiu'er" woman about 20 years old, dressed as a layman, dressed in goose yellow tight-fitting suit, very thin clothes, in the cold wind, her delicate body is tall, goose egg-shaped pretty face is flushed, it seems that there is no cold. Beautiful starry eyes, Yao nose and cherry lips, long Xiu tied into a ponytail at the back of the head, looking heroic and heroic, in Gao Jie's eyes, is a typical athletic beauty in later generations.
Seeing that this woman had walked out, Master Pure Space took his right palm, smiled and said, "Poor nun clear space, ask to see Master Guiyuan!"
Jiu'er looked up and down the Void Master curiously, hugged her fists and said, "Void Master, it's not that Senior Sister Huiyuan is rude, but because the family teacher is indeed in retreat and practice, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so please ask the Master to come back another day?"
The Clearance Master said: "Guiyuan has finally accepted apprentices?!"
When Jiu'er heard this, she was surprised and said: "Disciple Shen Jiuling is indeed the only disciple of the family teacher, isn't the master old with the family teacher?"
The Void Master said: "It's true that it's old, but it's just that decades have passed in a flash, but I don't know if she still knows the poor nuns!"
Shen Jiuling glanced at Gao Jie who was standing behind him again and said, "Did this girl also come with Shitai?"
Gao Jie twisted his waist and smiled bitterly: "Yes!"
The Void Master was too cold for a while, and his steady body couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and said, "That's right, she is a poor nun's apprentice!"
Shen Jiuling muttered in a low voice: "Look at this little look, she looks so handsome!"
When the Clearance Master heard this, he secretly laughed, but Gao Jie couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he could only hold back.
Shen Jiuling immediately let go of her body and said to the master of the clear space: "The wind and snow outside are very tight, don't blow the little sister sick!" The master is invited in first, go to the side hall to drink a cup of hot tea to warm up the body, and wait for the junior to tell the master before making a plan!"
The Void Master smiled, thanked Shen Jiuling, greeted Gao Jie, and walked into Baoming Temple. Shen Jiuling stood by the door, waiting for Gao Jie to step into the threshold, suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, and then smiled and walked towards the side hall on the left.
Gao Jie was hugged by Shen Jiuling's arm, and he couldn't help but shudder, he always felt that something was not normal, and goosebumps bulged all over his body. glanced at the master with resentment, and saw that she was unconscious, so she had to make a bitter face, her body stiffened, and let Shen Jiuling pull her.
Seeing that the quirky apprentices on weekdays had eaten the turtles, the Void Master found it even more interesting, so he didn't make a sound, silently followed behind them, and walked into the side hall.
Baoming Temple sits in the north and faces south, the main courtyard enters the courtyard four times, the first entry is the palace of the king of heaven, there are two flagpoles in the courtyard, the second floor of the bell and drum, one side hall, it is used as a pilgrim to rest on weekdays.
Entering the side hall, Shen Jiuling led Gao Jie to a chair and sat down, smiled with a smile, glanced at him a few times, and then let go of his hand, turned around and beckoned the Void Master to sit down. She hugged her fists at the master of the clear space and said: "The master rests here for a while, drinks hot tea, and the junior will go to the backyard to tell the teacher!"
The void master smiled too much: "There is Miss Lao Jiu'er!"
Shen Jiuling chuckled and said, "The master is too polite!" After speaking, he first instructed the two young nuns in the hall to prepare tea, and then left, but listened to the pure space master Tai said: "Jiu'er girl, when you see the Lingshi, you must make it clear that there is an old person visiting!"
Shen Jiuling nodded and said with a smile: "Juniors can save it!" After speaking, she flew away.
Looking at the master leisurely sipping hot tea, Gao Jie fidgeted and wrapped the pink coat tighter, unable to arouse the slightest interest in drinking tea.
While looking around, Master Pure Space said intentionally or unintentionally: "It seems that in the eyes of Miss Jiu'er, you are more popular than the teacher!"
Gao Jie couldn't cry or laugh, and whispered weakly: "Master, you can enjoy your apprentices!"
The clear space master said: "The opportunity is rare, and the teacher is very at ease!"
Gao Jie wanted to cry without tears, and rationally chose forbearance, secretly hating Zhu Youxiao for sending such an errand to let him come to the strange Baoming Temple everywhere, and I don't know what it was for.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Shen Jiuling turned around and said happily to the Pure Sky Master: "Master, the family teacher heard that an old man was visiting, so he really suspended his practice, and asked the two of you to go to the main hall to meet each other!"
The Clearance Master got up and said, "That's very good, there is Miss Lao Jiu'er!"
Shen Jiuling said, "It's okay!" Without waiting for Gao Jie to get up, he stepped forward and grabbed his arm again, and said softly: "Sister, let's go together!"
Gao Jie secretly shouted: "I'm a pure man, sister, your sister!" But seeing that he was about to meet the main owner of this trip, how dare he do a bad thing, so he had to pretend to be cowardly, and let Shen Jiuling hold his arms, his delicate body was tightly attached to his body, and he walked out of the side hall and went to the backyard together.
