Prosperous advisors

Chapter 35 Where is the retribution? (2)
In the early morning, Mu Qingyi took Zhu'er to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures and pray for blessings.Although everyone knew the reason why she was sent to Baoguo Temple, since she said praying, she had to pretend to be praying.Leaving Zhu'er outside the Buddhist hall, Qingyi stepped into the Buddhist hall alone.The quiet Buddhist hall is filled with a touch of sandalwood. An old monk with a snow-white beard is wearing cassock and sitting cross-legged on the futon. People's hearts are normal.

Mu Qingyi walked over, calmly filled the oil lamp in front of the Buddha, and then walked to other places in the hall, adding oil one by one.But at the place where she just stood in front of the Buddha statue, there was an inconspicuous jade pendant on the table.

"Where did the benefactor come from?" After a long time, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and an old voice sounded faintly.Mu Qingyi put down the sesame oil in her hand, walked to a futon behind the old monk and knelt down, folded her hands together and said calmly, "Pray for the deceased relatives and friends."

"If it is to pray for blessings, the female benefactor should not come here." The old monk said.This Buddhist hall is not the main hall of Baoguo Temple, but an inconspicuous Buddhist hall located in the northwest corner.In the Buddhist hall is enshrined Fudo Mingwang Bodhisattva.I saw the Buddha statue on the main hall, whose body was black and blue, with a perfect and extremely angry figure, which made people look daunting immediately.

Mu Qingyi remained unmoved, and just said: "If relatives and friends cannot live in peace under the Nine Springs, what's the use of praying for blessings?"

The old monk was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.Looking at the jade pendant on the table, he said: "Originally, the old monk thought that this object should have appeared two or three years ago. Later, the old monk thought...that it would be a good thing if this object never appeared. It will be Miss Si who brought this thing to see the old monk."

"Abbot Ci'en, please help me." Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and pleaded.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore. All sentient beings want to cross the sea of ​​suffering but cannot, why should the girl get involved in it?" The old monk persuaded in a deep voice with compassion on his face.Mu Qingyi's eyes flickered slightly, a wry smile appeared on her lips, and there was a bleak laughter in the Buddhist hall, "Old relatives and friends, sinking into hell. Where is Dare Abbot Buddha?"

"The Buddha is in the heart. The Buddha said that when there are no delusions, one mind is one Buddha country; when there are delusions, one mind is one hell. All living beings create delusions, and they are always in hell. In the Buddha country..."

Mu Qingyi smiled coldly, "The abbot thinks, what is delusion? What is wrong with the Gu family? What is the so-called retribution in Buddhism? My daughter doesn't practice the afterlife, she only talks about this life!"

Abbot Ci'en turned his head, looked at the weak girl who was kneeling on the futon covered with frost, and asked in a deep voice: "If you can't clear up the grievances of Mrs. Gu, what should the girl do?"

Mu Qingyi smiled indifferently, "Gods block and punish gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas. If there is no retribution from the sky, if Mu Qingyi does not die... it will be retribution!"

This time, Abbot Ci En was silent for a longer time.After another long while, Abbot Ci'en finally took out a letter sealed with wax paint from under his wide cassock and handed it to Mu Qingyi. Besides.After handing the letter to Mu Qingyi, she closed her eyes and tapped on the wooden fish again to start chanting.

Mu Qingyi opened the envelope and took a look, sighed with a complicated expression, lit the letter and the envelope and threw them into the incense burner not far away.Only then bowed respectfully to Abbot Ci'en, and said in a low voice, "Miss, leave."

Mu Qingyi quietly exited the hall, and after a long time, a young novice came in and said in a low voice, "Abbot Qi, the eldest and second sons of Suchenghou's residence are asking to see you."

Abbot Ci'en neither opened his eyes nor turned his head, but only ordered: "Send a message to Junior Brother Ci'an, the old monk will sit up and practice meditation from today onwards, and all matters in the temple will be handled by Junior Brother Ci'an."

Although a little surprised, the little novice did not dare to disobey the abbot's words, so he had to retreat.In the Buddhist hall, Abbot Ci'en sighed deeply and remained silent.

Mu Qingyi left the Palace of King Ming, and walked around the Baoguo Temple to see if it was still early.Baoguo Temple was also a place she often visited when she was young, because her grandfather and Abbot Ci'en were good friends, and she often came to discuss Zen and drink tea with Abbot Ci'en.Although Miss Gu's family is extremely intelligent, she has no connection with Buddha, and every time she comes to the temple, it's just for fun and relaxation.She might not be able to hear a single sentence out of ten that her grandfather and Abbot Ci En said.Unexpectedly, the grandfather actually handed over the last remaining thing of the Gu family to Abbot Ci'en.Maybe the grandfather had his own deep meaning in making such an arrangement, maybe the cousin and elder brother both understood the meaning of the grandfather, but she didn't want to understand, and couldn't understand.

"Four sisters."

Mu Qingyi turned her head and saw Mu Chen and Mu Ling coming side by side, she couldn't help but frowned, "Big brother, second brother, why are you here?"

Mu Chen smiled lightly and said: "Madam knows that fourth sister you have come to the temple, and worried that you are short of money, so let my second brother and I bring some to you."; burden.Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Mu Chen with a smile and said with a smile: "It's so hard for you two brothers, thank you Aunt Sun for your trouble."

Seeing Mu Qingyi's half-smile expression, Mu Ling frowned in displeasure, but still said lightly, "Sissister, please be polite, as long as Sisister remembers how mother cares for Sissie."

"Qingyi is naturally...unforgettable." Mu Qingyi said quietly.Hearing it in Mu Ling's ears, she couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat. She frowned and looked at the smiling girl in front of her.Ever since Mu Qingyi recovered from her injury, she became more and more eccentric.As a man, Mu Ling rarely had contact with Mu Qingyi, but the few times he had contact made him feel a little displeased.Just as Sanmei said, his father's attitude towards Mu Qingyi seems to have changed a little these days.

Mu Qingyi signaled Zhu'er to take the things from the two, and then she smiled and said, "Big brother and second brother are here to deliver things to Qingyi, right? For small things, just let a servant deliver them."

Mu Chen smiled and said: "Fourth sister, you have never gone out alone, so you can feel relieved when the elder brother comes to visit. As for the second younger brother... he said he wanted to pay a visit to Abbot Ci'en, so he came together."

"A visit to Abbot Ci'en?" Mu Qingyi's eyes flickered slightly, "I didn't expect my second brother to be proficient in Zen?"

Mu Ling said lightly: "Fourth sister was joking, but Abbot Ci'en's medical skills are superb, and grandma is a little tired these days. I'm here to ask grandma for a prescription for health and tranquility."

"Second brother is really filial." Mu Qingyi said with a faint smile.

Mu Ling looked up at the sky, and said: "It's getting late today, but I still want to go to the vegetarian temple in the country, brother, why don't you and I stay in the temple for a night, can it be regarded as accompanying fourth sister? "

Mu Chen was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Mu Ling to say that.Some embarrassed said: "This... these days there are a lot of chores in the Ministry of Rites. I'm afraid..."

Mu Qingyi smiled slightly and said, "Since the eldest brother is here again, there is no need to force it. If the second brother has nothing to do, it's okay to stay in the temple for a night. The vegetarian restaurant in Baoguo Temple really lives up to its reputation."
