"I want to ask you something." After Ruyi wiped her hands with a hot towel, she picked up a piece of snack from the plate and took a bite.
The maids knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Princess, may I ask?"
"You know there is a nunnery not far from our courtyard. There is no plaque on the nunnery, so I don't know what to call it."
One of the palace maids replied: "Back to the princess, that nunnery has no plaque, and the people in Kulari call it the 'Unnamed nunnery'."
Ruyi finally understood, and she continued to ask: "Oh, so that's it. Then you are telling me about the master in Wuming Temple. What is the name of the master? Today, the master said a few words to me.
When I first heard it, I felt that Buddhism was profound and difficult to understand, but when I think about it carefully, it makes sense. I also want to visit another day and have a chat with Master..."
After hearing this, the faces of the palace maids all turned pale. Each of them seemed to be frightened, with their mouths pursed and their bodies trembling, but they stopped talking.
Ruyi sensed something was wrong, so she asked: "What's wrong? Does Kulari have any taboos about Wuming Temple? Is there anything hard to say? If it's really taboo, then I won't ask." Ruyi can be considered considerate.
, I don’t want the palace ladies to get into trouble because of my curiosity.
One of the daring maids hesitated and said: "It's not a taboo...it's just...I've never heard of anyone in the Wuming Nunnery...let alone any nuns. This nunnery was transplanted from the Celestial Dynasty by King Rongzhu in the early years.
Yes, it is said that there was a relic brought with it. We also heard a lot of gossip in the palace, but we don’t know whether it is true or not. According to legend, before King Rongzhu ascended the throne, he accompanied the tribute team to the Celestial Dynasty.
However, he encountered a large number of bandits on the road. The tributes were looted and all the people accompanying him were killed. King Rongzhu escaped with injuries and almost died. Afterwards, he was exhausted and fainted in a nunnery. There was a person in this nunnery.
The nun with a bodhisattva heart guarded King Rongzhu day and night and rescued him. Later, King Rongzhu returned to Rongzhu and became the king of a country. In order to repay the nun, he sent people to go to the heaven and planned to
Donate money to renovate the nunnery. However, when I went there, I found out that the nun was no longer alive. She was cremated, and her bones were condensed into a relic. King Rongzhu ordered people to buy the entire Wuming Nunnery and
The bricks, tiles, wooden walls, tables and chairs, and the relic were all transported back to be melted. A nunnery was rebuilt in the palace as it was to commemorate this nun..."
Now that the conversation was open, another palace maid also spoke: "In the beginning, every once in a while, the king would go to the nunnery to add some incense and worship the relics of the gods. This continued for decades, but the body of the king melted away.
Things got worse and worse, and eventually he was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed, and all the big and small matters were left to the prince to handle. The nameless nunnery gradually fell into disuse, and few people went there."
"So...how did the princess see the nun there?" A timid palace maid almost cried out of fright, "Princess, you are scaring us, right?"
Ruyi was completely confused. The person she saw was not a human being... Could it be that what she saw was the essence attached to the nun's relic?
She reacted quickly. She laughed quickly, clapped her hands and said, "Look at how scared you are, you will believe me if I just make fun of you! You are so cowardly, will you be laughed at by others, hahaha!"
The maids breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't dare to complain about Ruyi, and they all made excuses to go busy.
