Chapter 87 The sound of the bell is far away (2)

After the first lunar month, the weather gradually warmed up. By the time of the Zhonghe Festival on the second day of February, those thick jackets were no longer wearable. The ice and snow outside had basically melted. Looking from a distance, the grass looked like

There is a faint greenery, and buds the size of rice grains are sprouting from the branches of every tree, and it seems that spring is coming.

The Zhonghe Festival is a day to worship the Lord of the Earth, but there is no decent-sized Bogong Temple around the capital. It is not convenient for the wealthy family to go to the small temple, so they send their servants and wives to go to the Bogong Temple.

On the other hand, I still went to the Daxiangguo Temple, the largest temple near the capital, to worship the gods, since all the gods have to celebrate the festival.

After learning the lesson from the last time she went out, Shu Yao originally didn't want to go out again. Unexpectedly, Shu Ya tried her best to persuade her to go out this time. Shu Ya said:

"Daxiangguo Temple is the most famous temple in the capital. This kind of temple is different from the outside. Not everyone can enter from the back. Since the old lady has decided to go, she must have sent someone to book the Zen room in advance. No matter how many people are in front,

There is a protective courtyard in the temple, and the back is also clean." After a pause, he continued:

"Don't worry, I'm going to go this time too. Since your brother-in-law is gone these days, I will always go to the temple to donate an ever-burning lamp to him and ask the Bodhisattva to protect him from any misfortune in the next life." As he said this, his eyes darkened.

Go down.

Shu Yao turned around and hugged her sister. In this case, she would definitely not trust Shu Ya to go out, and she would definitely go with her.

Mrs. Yu had someone prepare a carriage early. Since Mrs. Chiang did not go, the Yuyao sisters did not go with them. There were only three female dependents and not many carriages. Only five carriages were prepared. Mrs. Yu had one

Shu Ya and Shu Yao had one, a few respectable maids and women used two, and the remaining one was used as usual to carry things.

Shu Yao asked Chuntao to add three layers of soft cushions to the carriage. She sat on it and tried it. It felt like she was sitting on a pile of cotton. Shu Yao felt relieved. The people below brought a step stool, and Chuntao was supporting Shu Ya underneath.

, Shu Yao took Shu Ya's hand from above, and Shu Ya got on the carriage with a little effort.

After everyone was seated, Mother Liang arranged for the convoy to move, followed by a large group of followers. It was difficult for everyone to move in unison, like a marching army.

Shu Yao remembered the car ride from Yongzhou to the capital, and regretted that she should not have raised the car curtain to look at Shen Junzhuo. She smiled sadly in her heart, and took off the sleeves given to her by Liu's mother and put them beside her.

The carriage traveled for a long time, and as expected, there were more people in front of the Daxiangguo Temple. However, it was not a serious day to worship the Buddha, and they had greeted the temple in advance. Although the speed of the carriage was a bit slow,

It didn't take long before we entered the temple.

A monk who knew the guest had been waiting in front of the Zen gate for a long time. When he saw Mrs. Yu, he shouted the Buddha's name, with a kind face full of smiles, and after performing Buddhist rituals he said:

"How good is the old lady?"

Madam Yu said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, thanks to the Buddha, I am in good health. I just haven't been to the temple for a long time. How is the host?"

The monk Zhike led everyone inside and said:

"Although the abbot is old, he has a deep understanding of the profound meanings of Buddhism and is free from illness and disaster, which is also a blessing for our temple."

With that said, he took everyone to the Mahavira Hall to worship the Buddha.

Shu Yao followed Mrs. Yu and Shu Ya into the Mahavira Hall. There were monks singing Buddhist songs beside her. When she looked up, she saw three huge bronze statues, namely Sakyamuni, Amitabha and Medicine Buddha III.

They were raised more than one foot high, and they all lowered their heads slightly and looked down at all living beings with compassionate expressions on their faces.

She knelt down on the mat with the two of them, and someone handed some incense to them. All three of them burned the incense devoutly and prayed before standing up.

Looking inside the hall, there is also the Island Guanyin behind the Third Buddha, which is about the story of Guanyin in the South China Sea to save all living beings.
