Red House Shoufu

Chapter 59
The Dabaoen Temple was built in the eighth year of Taizong Gaoxi Jiachengye. It took 13 years and a total of more than 200 million taels of silver to build the royal temple.

It is said that after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, one night he dreamed that his mother, who had passed away for many years, made plum cakes for him in a plum grove in the south of the capital.

Walking to Qingcheng Temple, which is still a small temple, I saw plum blossoms in full bloom in front of the temple, just like what I saw in a dream.Moreover, Master Kuren, the abbot of the temple, was quite famous among the people, so he ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate funds to build this royal temple on the original site of Qingcheng Temple, and renamed it Dabaoen Temple. The Dabaoen Temple echoes from the north to the south.

After decades of ups and downs, the Dabaoen Temple in the capital has become a must-go place for people near the capital to offer incense.

When Lin Shu escorted the crowd today, many people were already offering incense and praying in the temple.There were many high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as many ordinary people. The Zhike monk of Dabaoen Temple led the crowd into the main hall, and Daiyu put her hands together and knelt on the futon to pray for her parents.

Both Lin Shu and Jia Rong did not believe in gods and ghosts, they waited at the door for the women in the palace.It is an important place for Buddhism, and it is inconvenient for soldiers to enter the temple. The guards did not enter the temple, only Fuquan unloaded his weapons and followed Lin Shu.

There is an old monk in the main hall, who seems to be seven or eighty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, dressed in a coarse cloth monk's robe.

Xichun liked to read some scriptures since she was a child. After praying for blessings, she walked over and asked a few passages of scriptures that she didn't understand.

The old monk smiled and explained the meaning of the scriptures to Xichun, looked him up and down, and said with a deep meaning: "The little benefactor has a deep fortune, and there is a noble person to help, so you don't have to dwell on the past. The flowers in front of you are in full bloom, why not?" Do you still have to worry about the dead leaves behind you?"

"The mortal world is disturbed and disturbed. Doesn't Master think that the quiet place of Buddhism is cleaner than the world?"

Xichun shook her head, she asked back, Qin Keqing who was beside her frowned, and felt a palpitation in her heart.Could it be that my little aunt knew about my affairs?

The old monk stretched out his hand and pointed to Daiyu and the others behind Xichun: "Even if you enter the Buddhist gate, you will still be bound by entanglement. Besides, the Buddhist gate is also in the human world. Whether it is peaceful or not depends on your heart, not on the body of the Buddha!"

Lin Shu listened for a while, thinking that this old monk is really not simple, is there really someone in this world who can tell fortunes?
"Why doesn't the benefactor at the gate come in? The Dabaoen Temple does not reject people who are not believers." The old monk turned his gaze to Lin Shu with a hint of understanding in his eyes.

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then walked into the main hall, bowed his head and said, "I'm bothering you, Master."

"Don't bother, don't bother. The poor monk is just curious and wants to see who changed the original trajectory!"

Lin Shu was startled by the old monk's words, but when he was about to speak, the old monk nodded and said, "I see, it seems that the Dao of Heaven is also a sentient person, and there will always be a glimmer of hope for the world."

He took off a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist and handed them to Lin Shu: "I think the benefactor does not believe in Buddhism, but this poor monk has kept this string of beads all his life. He and the poor monk have traveled all over the Middle-earth and seen too many All the flavors of the world, donate to the benefactor today, and hope that the benefactor will stick to his heart in the future and relieve the suffering of the world.”

"The eyes of the benefactor should not be limited to a corner of the land. The world is so big and thousands of miles wide. During the rise and fall, there are many people waiting for the sun. Just like the method of vaccination and the policy of drying the salt, the benefactor should not forget Now, worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!"

After saying this, the old monk stood up slowly, touched Lin Shu's forehead, and left the hall with a smile.

From the moment Lin Shu received the Buddha beads, his mind was like watching a movie, going through the original Red Chamber novel he had read in his previous life and the experience of more than ten years of wind and rain in his current life.

Fan Wenzheng has a saying: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later.These words, like Huang Zhong Dalu, rang in his ears again.

Back then when Lin Ruhai enlightened Lin Shu, he asked him why he was studying.

Lin Shu, who was able to climb up the stool just now, said in a childish voice: "Take the first prize, become a high official, and seek happiness for the common people!"

Although a bit childish, it was Lin Shu's first dream after time travel.It's a pity that after more than ten years of ups and downs, his original intention was slowly covered with a layer of dust due to conspiracy and tricks.

Meeting this mysterious old monk today, those words and the string of warm beads reminded Lin Shu of his childhood beliefs again.

"I am not a passerby, and this is not a story in a book..."

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly Daiyu's worried question came from beside his ear, Lin Shu's eyes gradually reunited, and he scanned around, but he didn't see the figure of the old monk.

"Where's the master?"

Daiyu replied: "Master has already gone out, brother, what's the matter? You didn't respond when I called you just now."

It turned out that Lin Shu just took the beads in a daze, his eyes were loose, and Daiyu didn't get any response to her calls.A few people didn't dare to move lightly, so they could only stand aside and wait.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, and Lin Shu finally recovered.

Seeing everyone's worried eyes, Lin Shu put the beads on his wrist, raised his wrist, and replied with a smile: "Just now I was instructed by the master, and I figured out something, which is a kind of epiphany!"

Daiyu smiled sweetly, and pulled Lin Shu's sleeve with crooked eyes: "Is it like that monkey grandson, who learned the magic of immortals after being knocked on the forehead by Patriarch Bodhi?"

The brothers and sisters joked a few words, and then led a few people to the guest room to eat.On the way, Lin Shu inquired about the old monk's identity with the Zhike monk, and learned from it that the old monk's dharma name is clear, and he is the former abbot of Dabaoen Temple.

Wang Xifeng often goes to the major Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the capital, and is very familiar with famous monks and Taoists.Hearing this Dharma name, he immediately covered his mouth in surprise.

"God, it turned out to be Master Lian Ran!"

Lin Shu and the others looked at Wang Xifeng suspiciously, only to hear her explain: "Master Liaoran has been a monk since he was a child. He traveled all over Dachu when he was young, and even went to Tianzhu. The Buddhism is profound, compassionate and benevolent. Everyone in the capital calls him He is the current living Buddha. Even when His Majesty is in the hidden residence, he often asks him about Buddhism."

Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng glanced enviously at the Buddhist beads on Lin Shu's wrist: "Cousin is very karmic with Buddhism, and those princes in the capital would not want to meet Master Mingran and give him a Buddha treasure. I didn't expect my cousin to win the Master today." personal prayer beads..."

Hearing this, Lin Shu remembered that today's emperor is good at Buddhism. It is said that the Supreme Emperor is because the emperor likes Buddha, and he thinks that the emperor is in his position.

It's a pity that things backfired. Now that the emperor wants to save the lives of a few brothers and nephews, it depends on whether the other party is enough to worry about.

……

On the top floor of the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple, Liao Ran sat on the pagoda with a middle-aged man dressed as a middle-aged official. The teacup was steaming, mixed with sandalwood, and filled the surroundings.

"Master, can you see clearly?"

"Have you thought about it clearly? Sometimes, if you think too much and worry too much, you will lose the eyes of the layman instead?"

Liao Ran asked a question back, the man was stunned, and then laughed at himself: "Since I sat in that seat, my heart is indeed a little too persistent."

"Perseverance is a good thing. At least the persistence of a layman can make you persevere in realizing your ambition." Master Qingran smiled and handed a cup of tea to the man.

He went on to say: "The benefactor Lin, who has both ability and political integrity, is a rare gem in the rough, and laymen should polish it carefully."

The middle-aged man laughed happily: "With the master's words, I can feel relieved..."
