In the early morning of this day, the pilgrims at Yunxiao Temple also got up early to pay homage and observe the ceremony.

Although Yunxiao Temple is well-known, it is located in a deep mountain and there are not many pilgrims coming and going. However, there are not many monks and pilgrims living there, and most of them are lay disciples who lead the practice in the temple.

Liang Huanqing and Yuebai got up early to listen to the monks' sermons, and it was not until Qin Ruilan and the others were able to get up before the fast meal.

At this time, the city gate of Shangjing had not yet opened, but a group of mysterious people hurried out of the city gate at dawn and dusk and rushed to Yunxiao Temple.

The main hall of Yunxiao Temple, the Main Hall, is the most popular. It is dedicated to the Buddha statue of the master, Sakyamuni Buddha. The abbot, seat, and head of the temple are all in the Main Hall. They pray and preach for pilgrims, and sometimes hold Dharma seats. Pilgrims often

I feel satisfied because I was lucky enough to attend the lecture.

Liang Fengmian was the god of war general of the Celestial Dynasty. He solved numerous border wars for the Celestial Dynasty and maintained the peace of the people on one side. He was deeply loved by the people of the Celestial Dynasty.

Since he and the Liang Mansion troops were transferred to Shangjing City more than ten years ago, everything inside and outside Shangjing City has been peaceful. Many bandits in the mountains outside the city have been recruited. Only a few villages on the hilltops are easy to defend and difficult to attack. However,

The surrounding villages are much more peaceful than before, which brings peace to the hearts of pilgrims traveling between Shangjing and Yunxiao Temple.

Since Yunxiao Temple was also protected by the Liang Mansion's army, the eldest lady of the Liang family received great attention this time when they came to pray. The abbot of the temple personally received them at the Main Hall.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan arrived at the Main Hall together. As soon as they arrived at the door, Abbot Taixu led two young monks to welcome them out.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan hurriedly stepped forward, clasped their hands together, and said respectfully: "Master Taixu."

Taixu also clasped his hands and returned the greeting: "Ladies, please come in." After saying that, he led them into the hall.

Liang Huanqing and the others were about to go in. Xuankong, the eldest disciple behind Taixu, looked at Wei Shen behind them. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out to stop him and said, "Donor, it is strictly forbidden to carry swords in the Main Hall."

After hearing this, Liang Huanqing and others turned around to check the situation. Wei Shen held the sword at his waist vigilantly and was in a stalemate with Xuan Kong. Qin Ruilan smiled softly and said, "In this case, the young general can just wait outside the palace."

"No. The general has given orders to protect your safety." Wei Shen said stubbornly.

Xuankong put his hands together and bowed to Wei Shen, saying: "It is strictly forbidden to carry swords in the Main Hall."

Liang Huanqing looked at the abbot, Master Taixu, and saw that the master just stopped and looked at everyone, with no intention of speaking. Then he looked at the young and stubborn little monk in front of him. His eyes were firm, and he must never let Wei Shen admire him.

The one who entered the palace with his sword, and Wei Shen held the sword tightly in his hand, both of them refused to give in. Rather than being in such a stalemate, it would be better to speak out to dissuade him.

She said: "Wei Shen, take off your sword."

Wei Shen glanced at Liang Huanqing. She must have known the significance of swords to soldiers. Moreover, if there were many pilgrims in the palace, and if other people mixed in and endangered their safety, he would not be able to explain it to the general.

Liang Huanqing repeated: "Wei Shen, take off the sword."

Perhaps Liang Huanqing rarely had such a serious moment. Wei Shen reluctantly removed the sword and handed it to the retainer behind him, and ordered: "I will go in and guard personally. You should pay more attention to the situation inside and outside the palace. Don't be careless.

"

The retainer took the sword, cupped his fists and saluted: "Yes!"

Seeing Wei Shen remove his sword, Xuan Kong no longer stopped him, and the group slowly entered the palace.

The main hall was full of incense, and Qin Ruilan couldn't help coughing as soon as she entered the hall.

Master Taixu bowed to the Sakyamuni Buddha enshrined in the hall and secretly said: "Amitabha."

He turned around and introduced to Liang Huanqing and others: "This is the master, Sakyamuni Buddha."

Looking at the gleaming gold-plated Buddha in front of them, Liang Huanqing and others clasped their hands together and worshiped devoutly: "Amitabha."

There were many pilgrims praying in the hall, and the futons in front of the Buddha were no longer enough. Master Taixu did not signal his disciples to prepare futons for Liang Huanqing and others. They did not say much and stood aside quietly waiting.

Wei Shen looked at the noisy crowd warily, fearing that something might happen. Seeing how nervous he was, Qin Ruilan couldn't help but said softly: "Young general, there is no need to be so nervous."

Wei Shen looked at her when he heard the sound, his eyes slightly less vigilant. For some reason, Qin Ruilan's gentle words could always ease all his nervousness or fear.

After waiting for a while, all the pilgrims finished praying, and Liang Huanqing and others were able to burn incense and worship in front of the Buddha statue.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan knelt in front of the Buddha statue, clasped their hands, looked at the Buddha statue with pious eyes, and kowtowed deeply three times.

Give the little masters in front of the candle table the Buddha statue and let them put the incense into the altar.

After offering incense and candles, Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan stood in front of the Buddha statue with their hands clasped, closing their eyes and praying secretly in their hearts.

After the prayers were completed, Yuebai and Xiaoer each stepped forward to help their ladies up. Master Taixu saluted with his hands clasped together and said: "There are many pilgrims in the main hall, so it is noisy. Ladies, please follow me to the side hall for a discussion."

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan looked at each other, clasped their hands in return, and said, "Master, please lead the way."

Everyone went to the side hall. Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan followed Master Taixu into the side hall. Yuebai Xiaoer and Wei Shen were waiting outside the hall door.

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan sat side by side, and Taixu sat opposite them. There was an exquisite small incense burner on the table in the middle, and a few wisps of tobacco curled up among the three of them.

Xuan Kong pushed the door in with a pot of fragrant tea, breaking the tranquility.

Taixu took the pot from Xuankong's hand, poured tea for Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan, and said: "This is the unique fragrant tea in Yunwu Mountain. The monks in the temple call it Mingwu. Please try it."

"Thank you, Master." The two of them picked up the teacups and touched them gently. In an instant, their mouths were filled with an intoxicating aroma.

Xuankong put down the pot and was about to go out when Taixu slowly raised his hand to stop him: "Xuankong, please stay."

Xuankong paused and saluted the master: "Yes."

When Xuankong sat down, Taixu also poured him a cup of tea. Xuankong was about to raise his hand to take the pot when Taixu said, "What Miss Liang just asked for in front of the Buddha can be called marriage?"

Xuankong was attracted by his words and stopped picking up the pot. Taixu also happened to put the pot down.

Liang Huanqing listened, nodded and said, "Yes."

Qin Ruilan looked at her and smiled without saying a word.

Master Taixu nodded slowly and tasted the mist in front of him unhurriedly.

Xuankong also looked at Taixu, wondering what the master was thinking.

When Liang Huanqing saw that Master Taixu had stopped talking, he couldn't help but asked: "Master, what do you think?"

Taixu shook his head, put down the tea cup, and said with a smile: "If you meet and leave, you will get one Qi per session."

Liang Huanqing listened and was silent for a long time. She could hear something strange in Master Taixu's words, and she frowned slightly.

When she was about to say something, Taixu said again: "I am just reminding the young lady that when looking at things, you must not just look at the surface, but always look for the truth. Things in the world are impermanent, and when we get together, we will break up. Even if... there is a broad agreement between life and death.

Zi Tong said, "It is rare for a spirit to be both clear and enlightened."

Taixu's words were thought-provoking. Xuankong seemed to understand something. He put his hands together and saluted Taixu, and said as if to remind him: "Master."

Taixu smiled, raised his hand to pick up Mingwu, and said: "Amitabha."

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan were confused when they heard this. It can be seen that Taixu seemed unwilling to say more in this scene.

Liang Huanqing was in a depressed mood at this time, and her face was already worried. Qin Ruilan didn't want her to be depressed about this, so she wanted to change the topic, saluted Taixu and asked: "I have heard that Master Taixu's palm reading is extremely accurate. It's rare to do this on weekdays."

This is an opportunity to have a discussion with the master, and I would also like to ask the master to read the palms of my two sisters."

Taixu nodded kindly, and Qin Ruilan stretched out his hand. Taixu looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Miss Qin is someone who is destined to be my Buddha."

After hearing this, Qin Ruilan smiled happily, took Liang Huanqing's hand and presented it in front of Taixu, saying, "What about Huanqing? What will be her fortune in the future?"

Liang Huanqing looked at Qin Ruilan, not wanting to offend her. Besides, he really wanted to know his future fortune, so he looked at Taixu seriously.

Taixu looked at Liang Huanqing's palm prints carefully. After a while, sweat broke out on his forehead. Just when the two of them were confused, he slowly said: "Miss Liang is destined to be rich and noble. One person is worth less than ten thousand people."

above, as brilliant as the noon sun."

After hearing this, Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan looked at each other and smiled. Considering the current political situation, the destiny of one person is inferior to that of ten thousand, doesn't it mean that the crown prince falls and Prince Jing finally ascends the throne?

Whether it was true or not, Taixu's words made them both very happy, and they continued to talk with Taixu until noon, when a monk came to deliver the meal, and the four of them left the side hall.

The three people outside the hall saw the two ladies coming out and rushed to greet them.

Seeing Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan smiling so happily, Yuebai asked with a smile: "Did Master say anything to make you so happy?"

Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan knew the rules, and although they were happy, if these words were spread, they would definitely bring trouble to Yunxiao Temple and Master Taixu, so they kept silent in a tacit understanding.

This made Yuebai Xiaoer extremely anxious: "Oh, Miss, please tell me quickly."

"Don't tell me."

"Just tell me. We want to know too."

"If you don't tell me, don't tell me."

The four people ran away in a noisy manner. Wei Shen was afraid that they would be in danger, so he had no choice but to chase after them.

Outside the side hall door, Taixu and Xuankong stood one behind the other, watching the Miss Liang Mansion go away.

Xuankong asked: "Master, did you still have something to say?"

Taixu looked at the distant mountains, then looked at the scorching sun above his head, lamented for a moment, and said: "The sun sets after noon...it peaks and then declines."

He looked at the backs of Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan, who were having fun, and said: "Those who are meeting will decide to leave, and one day will be the same. This is the case for everyone in the world. Amitabha."
