Chapter 120 Aunt Rescue Me
The large-scale pilgrimage conference of Long'an Temple in the Jin Dynasty was held every ten years, and each time it was very grand. Congregation, Dharma protectors, and tens of thousands of pilgrims will gather at Long'an Temple to participate in this pilgrimage conference.

Throughout July, the capital city will be very lively because of the Buddhist pilgrimage conference at Long'an Temple, and there will be an endless stream of various Buddhist events. Lin Shuran naturally wants to participate in this grand event that can only happen once in ten years, so she did not refuse Lei Yingying's offer invite.

Three days later, Lin Shuran took Honggu, Chunxi, and Lei Yingying's carriage to Long'an Temple. Lei Yingying told her that the Zhen Guogong Mansion had reserved a meditation room in Long'an Temple very early, because the pilgrimage conference attracted many pilgrims , Longan Temple has limited meditation rooms, so if you want to rest in the temple, you have to make an appointment early. This year, the Zhen Guogong Mansion has asked for an extra meditation room, which can be used by Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran and the others' carriage was already a bit difficult when they were ten miles away from Long'an Temple. There were too many people going to Long'an Temple, and it was overcrowded from morning to night. The city soldier Ma Si and people from the capital government came out to maintain order.

Because they all belonged to the aristocratic class, when the carriages of the Zhen Guogong Mansion and the Xu family entered the control section, they arrived at Long'an Temple without any hindrance.

Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying got out of the carriage and entered the gate of the temple. The young novice led them into the meditation room to rest first. Because there was still some time before the grand event was officially held, and there were a lot of people walking around in the temple, so the high-status female guests Most of them will choose to rest in the meditation room first, and wait until the pilgrimage officially begins before they go to listen to scriptures and pray for blessings.

The meditation room of Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran was not in the same courtyard, and the two agreed to meet again after an hour. Afterwards, Lin Shuran was led into the courtyard where her meditation room was located by the little monk.

"Female benefactor, the courtyard here is full of honorable guests who love to be quiet, please don't make any noise here, so as not to disturb others!" The little novice who was in charge of leading the way explained this and then turned and left.

Lin Shuran is not that noisy, she also likes quietness, so she brought Honggu and Chunxi into her meditation room.

The meditation room has already been lit with fragrance, and vegetarian snacks and fragrant tea are placed on the table. A landscape, bamboo and wood screen separates the inner room for rest and the outer room for meditation.

The Zen room is extremely elegant, and there is even a chessboard and a few scriptures. I don't know if they were specially placed in the temple or left by the previous owner of the Zen room.

Lin Shuran didn't feel tired, so she sat down on the futon in the outer room, and asked Honggu to put the chessboard in front of her.

In modern times, she has learned to play Go from the uncle in the park since she was in elementary school, and her chess skills have gradually improved. She also took the Go certificate. Although she is not a high-ranking player, she can still match a few tricks with the masters.

"Honggu, do you know how to play chess?" Lin Shuran felt bored to stay in the Zen room for an hour, and it happened that there was a game of Go, so it was a good time to pass the time.

Hong Gu shook her head, she replied: "This servant has never learned it!"

"The maidservant knows the backgammon taught by the young lady!" Chunxi smiled and answered from the side.

"Then Chunxi, play backgammon with me for a while!" Backgammon is also a game of chess, which can also pass the time, so Lin Shuran asked Chunxi to sit opposite her, and the two played backgammon on the board, while Honggu stood aside and watched.

Chunxi played three games and lost three games, and gradually became discouraged. Honggu asked her to get up and played one game with Lin Shuran. This backgammon was very simple, and she learned it after watching one game.

The opponent changed, and Lin Shuran also put more thought into it. She found that Honggu was much more thoughtful than Chunxi, and the first chessboard between the two ended in a draw.

Just when the two were about to play the second round, there was a sudden knock on the door of the meditation room, followed by Princess Xiqing's voice: "Is Aunt Xu's here?"

Chunxi hurried forward to open the door, and saw Princess Xiqing hurried in, she bowed to Lin Shuran as soon as she entered the door: "Auntie, please save me!"

"Princess, get up, what happened?" Lin Shuran stepped forward to help her up, and found that there was a little blood on her skirt, and she could still smell the blood, which should have just been stained.

"Aunt Xu, let Xiqing explain the details later. There are two men in my meditation room. One is dead and the other is seriously injured and unconscious. Concubine Ling and Zhao Kerou are about to break into this courtyard. This time they are If you want to use this to ruin my reputation and cause me to die, I have no one to ask, and I ask my aunt to find a way to save me!" Princess Xiqing hurriedly finished speaking and then bowed down to beg Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran immediately supported her, and then signaled Honggu to go to Princess Xiqing's room to check the situation first, and then asked Chunxi to take a set of clean clothes for Princess Xiqing to change into, and then asked her to go to Princess Xiqing's room first. Do not go out.

After that, Lin Shuran also came to Princess Xiqing's meditation room, and found that there was only a seriously injured young man in the room, and Hong Gu was not in the room. She went up to check the man's condition and found that he was still breathing, but passed out. His body looked like he had been wounded by a sword.

"Ma'am, the servant girl who died has already been hidden. It's just that the female relatives of Prince Ling's mansion are rushing here. I'm afraid this person will not be able to get away in time!" Aunt Hong suddenly appeared behind Lin Shuran and said.

Lin Shuran took a sharp look at the man lying on the ground, and asked Honggu to hide the seriously injured man in the inner room of the meditation room, then pull up the screen, and then light incense to cover the smell of blood in the room, and let She hurriedly packed Princess Xiqing's things and sent them to her Zen room, and asked her to tell Princess Xiqing that no matter who asked, she said that she liked this Zen room better, so she changed rooms with Princess Xiqing.

Afterwards, Lin Shuran walked out of the room again, just at this time the courtyard door was still open, she heard the voice of two old men passing by, and what she said seemed to be Buddhist principles after listening carefully, her eyes flashed, and she walked quickly to the courtyard door .

She saw two old men in simple monk's robes walking past, but one old man looked like a great monk, while the other had white hair despite wearing monk's robes.

"Grandmasters, please wait a moment!" Lin Shuran hurriedly stopped the two of them from going forward, she had to find a way to make them stay.

The two old men stopped in surprise, and then turned to look at Lin Shuran at the same time. Among them, the great monk folded his hands and said "Amitabha", with compassionate eyes, and asked, "I don't know what's the matter with the benefactor?"

Lin Shuran hurriedly replied, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "Master, I was having doubts in my heart. Suddenly I heard the voice of talking about Buddhism outside the courtyard. I thought it was the instruction of the Bodhisattva, so I called out to Master, and asked him to answer my questions." Confused, do you know if it is possible?"
