Jingning Temple is a royal temple, so there are not many pilgrims. Sheng Shaoqing looked back and saw that there were more people in his group than there were in Jingning Temple, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Everyone, get up."
Aning stood up at the right time and asked, "Where is the abbot of the temple?"
In fact, without Aning asking, Sheng Shaoqing could see at a glance that the old monk at the head was wearing a golden cassock, with a peaceful look on his brows and an extraordinary demeanor. He must be the abbot.
Sure enough, as soon as Aning finished speaking, the monk came out and said, "This is me, the Queen Mother. Please come."
The abbot extended his hand in an invitation gesture and welcomed Sheng Shaoqing into Jingning Temple.
The Buddhist pure land was filled with sandalwood. Sheng Shaoqing's heart, which had just been jolted, was gradually calmed down. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and follow the abbot to the clean room.
"The poor monk's name is Rinpo. If you have any instructions, just send someone to spread the word."
"Master Rinpo?" Sheng Shaoqing asked tentatively. Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on the abbot's face, he knew that he had called him correctly, and then said, "The Ai family has caused a lot of trouble, Master, please forgive me."
Master Rinpo smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, has made the small temple shine, so why bother?"
Jingning Temple is not a big place, but it is kept clean and tidy. Sheng Shaoqing watched with satisfaction as Cui Yun and the others went in and out to clean up.
It's so comfortable to not have to approve memorials, but to meet ministers and check their homework.
While Sheng Shaoqing was feeling emotional, a wave of melancholy also passed through his heart. He didn't know if those people had taken the bait.
[Host, the location of that batch of goods has already left Bianjing City.]
Sheng Shaoqing was the only one in the clean room at this time. She was startled by the sudden notification sound from the system, "You scared me!"
【If you have no ghosts in your heart, what are you afraid of?】
"Haha, I don't have a ghost in my heart. Aren't I a ghost in the first place?"
The system was choked by Sheng Shaoqing and became speechless. Arguing with women was definitely not the behavior of such an advanced system, so it had to change the topic without any help. [According to their speed, they will be able to arrive at Chenliu early tomorrow morning.]
"They are quite quick," Sheng Shaoqing said doubtfully, "Didn't I ask Mrs. Li to send the message that everything is fine?"
[Perhaps they are worried about the long nights and dreams, but it is indeed strange that they hurried southward. 】
Sheng Shaoqing suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart, but she tried her best to hold back the strange feeling that arose.
Because, in the past, once she had a bad premonition about anything she did, it would most likely turn out to be bad. But if she never had any big feelings, she would have unexpected gains.
This familiar yet annoying feeling suddenly made her feel anxious. If Yun Zhi worked hard, there would be good news tomorrow.
But what if not?
She never seemed to think about failure.
How could it fail if the system is there?
Sheng Shaoqing comforted himself like this, and then walked out slowly.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was very happy just now, Cui Yun suddenly walked out without hesitation and did not dare to disturb her.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to go out, Cui Yun turned around and went to the clean room to get a cloak, and hurriedly followed Sheng Shaoqing with a few attendants.
The stone steps in the temple are all made of bluestone, with eighty-one steps forming one floor, and each floor has a treasure hall.
Sheng Shaoqing climbed to the last floor in one breath, and then walked into the Main Hall panting.
The huge golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni stood in the middle. A cool breeze passed through the hall in front of him, making Sheng Shaoqing shiver from the cold.
Cui Yun also followed in panting. The Queen Mother's legs and feet were not as pampered as she was every day, but they were more flexible than her who worked every day.
Cui Yun took the cloak from the hand of the attendant behind her and walked closer. "It's cold on the mountain, so the Queen Mother should wear a cloak. It's cold in the hall, and it's more likely to get cold."
Sheng Shaoqing patted Cui Yun's hand that was tying the bow for her, "It's okay."
The monks were all doing lunch lessons and did not notice the arrival of Sheng Shaoqing and Cui Yun at all.
Sheng Shaoqing didn't believe in Buddhism, but since he came to someone else's land, he still knelt down on the soft cushion.
I used to visit Buddhist temples in various places when I was traveling. The Buddha statues I saw back then were also glittering with gold, but they were not as magnificent as the one in front of me from far away.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this Buddha statue is miraculous and lifelike. The key is that when Sheng Shaoqing stood looking at this Buddha statue, the Buddha's eyes she saw were slightly closed, but when she knelt down, the Buddha's eyes seemed to be opened, and she could see them at a glance.
She looked at each other.
But what does she ask for?
She had traveled through time after her own death, and she hadn't seriously thought about what she was going to do.
In other words, she has never seriously thought about this issue in her two lifetimes.
In the past, according to her parents' plan, she only needed to follow the established track of studying, finding a job, getting married, and having children, and then watched her children enter the same cycle as herself.
If that's the case, then she can do whatever she can. As long as she doesn't go below the lower limit set by her parents, and no one else touches her own little piece of land, no one will interfere with her, and she won't provoke others.
Therefore, she would rather go to sleep than face the ruins of reality in front of her.
Once she was in trouble, she thought she would just continue to live a muddle-headed life, but under the coercion and inducement of this broken system, she actually embarked on the completely opposite path from before.
Then, hope that everything goes well and live up to your original intention.
Sheng Shaoqing clasped his hands together and silently recited the wish in his heart. The system jumped out and interrupted again at an inappropriate time, "People say that making a wish doesn't work when you say it. How come you still read it out?"
"If I don't read it, don't you know?"
【That's not the case, I will still know.】
"Then shut up."
【I want to say.】
Before the system finished speaking, the abbot of the temple saw Sheng Shaoqing and came forward to greet her, "Why is the Queen Mother here now? The lectures only started in the evening, and it is now the time for the monks to have their afternoon classes."
Sheng Shaoqing hurriedly waved his hand, "The Ai family is just strolling around, I won't disturb you, right?"
The abbot heard this and said, "That's not true. The Queen Mother is just entertaining herself."
After finishing speaking, the abbot was about to leave, but he seemed to remember something and turned around and said, "If the Queen Mother wants to see the scenery, there is a waterfall behind the small temple. It is frozen in winter and shines in the sun. It is a beautiful sight."
."
When Cui Yun saw Sheng Shaoqing's eyes light up, he knew that the Queen Mother was interested, and quickly asked, "I wonder how far it is from here?"
The abbot smiled and said, "It's not far. If the Queen Mother wants to go, a poor monk can lead the way."
"Then I'll bother the mage."
The abbot waved his hand and led Sheng Shaoqing out from the back door of the temple. After climbing a few more stone steps, the blocked mountain road suddenly opened up, and a natural waterfall came into view.
Sheng Shaoqing tightened her cloak tightly, and Cui Yun also handed her a Tangbaozi to warm her hands. However, the mountain wind was steep, and the warmth in her hands could not withstand the temperature.
The waterfall flowing down was frozen, and each iceberg reflected a strange brilliance in the sunlight.
