Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 200 Qin Se (1)
Seeing that Master Puyun didn't want to tell lies, Li Shiwei immediately became embarrassed.

"If Li Shiwei doesn't believe it, I can go with you to the face of the saint and state the matter!" Master Pu Yun looked at Li Shiwei.

Guard Li hesitated for a moment, cupped his hands, and shook his head, "No need! Since I can't get that scripture, I'll go back and report to the Emperor."

"Amitabha, Guard Li, go slowly!" Master Puyun saw Guard Li leave, and put his palms together to see off the guest.

The middle-aged monk hurriedly followed behind Guard Li to see off the guests.

Master Puyun didn't go back to his room immediately after the two left, but looked at the capital through a few scattered stars in the sky.In the high mountains of the Buddhist monastery, one can vaguely see the lights of thousands of houses in the capital, and the prosperity is at its peak.He looked at it for a while, then turned and went back to the scripture storage pavilion.

Xie Fanghua and Li Muqing left Fafo Temple and stood on the top of the back mountain. They could see guard Li galloping away with a team of hundreds of people.

"I really didn't expect Master Puyun to give you that "Heart Sutra" with his own hands." Li Muqing sighed, "It's said that monks don't tell lies, but who knows that monks tell lies, which is even more annoying than ordinary people. letter."

Xie Fanghua didn't speak, looking through the clouds and mist at night, looking at the capital city with thousands of lights.

"Going back to the city or where?" Li Muqing looked away and asked Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua glanced at the sky, it was almost midnight, she was silent for a moment, and said to him, "Don't you want to ask your mother for a blessing? Do you still ask?"

Li Muqing spread his hands, "Although I didn't show up just now, Master Puyun must know that you are not the only one who went to the Buddhist scriptures Pavilion alone. Do you think I can go to him for a blessing at this time?"

Xie Fanghua glanced in the direction of the Sutra Pavilion. If she didn't want Master Puyun to know that he was with her, then of course she couldn't. "Although I can't ask for the blessing of Master Puyun, I can take a cup of holy spring water back. I have helped you so much, should you thank me and accompany me to fetch a cup of holy spring water under the Holy Spirit Buddha?" Li Muqing ask.

Xie Fanghua smiled and nodded.

Seeing her agreeing, Li Muqing also showed a happy smile on his face.

Holy Spirit Buddha is located on a low peak on the mountainside of Fafo Temple. It is a Buddha body with a height of 80 meters, a width of [-] meters and a lotus petal of ten meters.It is the second largest Buddha in Southern Qin Dynasty.Because there is a natural spring at its foot, it is called the Holy Spirit Spring.The water that emerges from this spring is called holy spring water.

On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, many dignitaries, nobles, poor and ordinary people go to the mountain to offer incense, and then receive a cup of holy spring water. It is said that it can turn bad luck into good luck, cure all diseases, and exorcise ghosts and demons. Therefore, the holy spring water is very famous.

But on New Year's Eve like this, when thousands of families are reunited, there is probably no other person who comes to receive the holy spring water except Li Muqing.Because tonight is neither the first day nor the fifteenth.It's not a day for offering incense, it's nothing more than occupying a New Year's Eve.

The two came to the Holy Spirit Buddha, and Li Muqing bowed to the Buddha in a dignified manner.

Xie Fanghua stood at the foot of the Buddha, quietly looking at the body of the Buddha, such a tall Buddha, such a majestic momentum, it took a lot of manpower and effort to build this Buddha, it is said that it took ten years to build this Buddha .And the person who presided over the construction of this great Buddha was the master who had just taken the copy of the Heart Sutra from Master Puyun in her arms, and she refused the master.

The Dharma name of Master Refused to become a monk is called Rejection, but his real name is Xie Lingyuan, who is from the Xie family.Of course, few people know that the master's surname is Xie, he was born in Xie's family, and he is in the direct line.

"Aren't you going to bow?" Seeing her standing still, Li Muqing tilted her head to look at her.

"No!" Xie Fanghua shook his head.

Li Muqing raised his eyebrows, "You don't believe in Buddhism?"

Xie Fanghua said lightly, "It's not that I don't believe it. It's just whether I believe it or not. I don't have to worship or not! All living beings are bustling with each other, and the world is full of people. How about having a Buddha in your heart? What if you don't have a Buddha in your heart? It's not the same as living!"

Li Muqing smiled, "These remarks are rather strange, no wonder you can get brother Qin Zheng to look at you differently and keep him by your side. He also often has some strange talks that people find incomprehensible, but you still think what he said is reasonable."

Xie Fanghua's brows twitched, but she didn't answer.

Li Muqing took out a palm-sized jug from his sleeve, it was very delicate, he stepped forward two steps, approached the lotus platform and stretched out his hand, a small spring water poured into his jug, he said softly, "My mother has always believed in Buddhism , Our mansion has built a Buddhist hall specially for her, and it is specially used for her to worship the Buddha every day." After saying that, he smiled, "Although my mother worships the Buddha, everyone thinks she is a Buddhist, but I know , she actually has no Buddha in her heart."

Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows. As for the wife of the Right Prime Minister, she has met twice. She is a kind and upright lady. Her temperament is somewhat similar to that of the Princess Ying. The wife of the right minister's mansion can be regarded as an extremely soft and kind master.It has an excellent reputation among the wives of Nanqin Jingcheng.

"A person like my mother, anyone who looks at her will think that she has a very good heart, a good wife, a good wife, a good mother, and a good mistress." Li Muqing filled the water, put the lid on the pot, and did not intend to leave. Taking advantage of the situation, she sat at the Buddha's feet, "But you probably can't imagine how many children died in her hands in our Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xie Fanghua looked at Li Muqing, his face was calm, but when he said this, he still felt a little desolate.

"Are you in a hurry to go back? If you're not in a hurry, it's quiet here. Let's sit here for a while!" Li Muqing looked at her.

Xie Fanghua glanced in the direction of the city gate, and sat down slowly, with a seat between them.

"My father has two concubines and four concubines. Two of them were pointed out to my father by my grandmother when my mother didn't pass the door. After my mother passed the door, she didn't take care of the people who served my father like the wives of other mansions. Get rid of them or drive them away. Not only did they not do this, but they gave them food, clothes and clothes so that they could feel at ease and continue to serve their father well." Li Muqing looked in the direction of the capital, "Not only that, but later my mother carried two more people for my father. Waiting by my side, so my father's backyard took in many women."

Xie Fanghua listened quietly, neither opening nor interrupting.

"However, although my father has a lot of women around me, and my mother doesn't specialize in a house, but my sister and I are the only ones in the Right Prime Minister's house. Over the years, only two concubine daughters have grown up, and no other male heirs have been born. " Li Muqing laughed, "Is it except that I have never been born with a male heir? No, I have been born, and there are more than one. But, none of them survived."

Xie Fanghua took a look at him. She knew better than anyone else the methods of the madam in the Gaomen mansion. It was dealt with by shady means.A concubine's eldest son appeared in Prince Ying's Mansion, and he grew up safely, which is an extremely rare minority.
