At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Bai Yunshang slightly lowered her eyelids, smiling like a flower, and the precious appearance became more solemn. Dugu couldn't help but sigh more and more. Quietly waiting for the former to interpret her dream.

At this time, I only heard Bai Yunshang's mouth lightly said: "As the saying goes, you can see in the day, and dream in the night. Recently, the autumn rain has been continuous and the river has risen. Presumably, Mrs. Xiao's dream was affected by the weather."

Dugu nodded in agreement, and Bai Yunshang continued: "As for Mrs. Xiao's dream of the well at home, there must be another reason for it?"

Dugu's complexion changed slightly, he hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "In front of the Buddha, believers dare to tell lies, layman Yunshang guessed right, and there is indeed a villain among them, alas, this matter is all blamed woman."

The Dugu family then told the story of the maidservant in the family throwing herself into the well, and said with regret on her face: "The faithful woman has been kind to others all her life, and she can't even bear to trample on an ant to death. How could she kill two lives with a single mistake. It is really a heinous crime."

"Amituofo, sin, sin!" Bai Yunshang and Zen Master Huizhi recited the Buddha's name at the same time.

Dugu said with a little panic: "Since the orb was thrown into the well, the believer woman felt deeply guilty and ordered someone to bury it generously. She also invited eminent monks to perform seven-day rituals to save the souls of the dead, but yesterday she suddenly had such a nightmare. Could it be that Is Baozhu mother and son lingering, looking for the believer to kill her?"

Bai Yunshang took a closer look at Dugu, and said comfortingly: "Mrs. Xiao is a person with profound blessings who has accumulated virtue and done good deeds. Although she made a big mistake by chance, it was an unintentional mistake. Presumably Baozhu mother and son will forgive you."

"Layman Yunshang is serious?"

"Yun Shang sees Mrs. Xiao's complexion is not serious."

"Amituofo, thank God!" Dugu clapped his palms together in relief, feeling a little relieved.

But Bai Yunshang changed the subject: "But since Madam had such a strange dream, maybe the evil force of this matter has not been completely resolved, and maybe Baozhu wants to use the dream to warn Madam Xiao of something."

Dugu's heart that had just let go could not help but raised again: "Then... what should I do? There is still a warning, what does Baozhu want to warn the believer?"

Bai Yunshang was silent for a moment before answering: "As the saying goes, clouds follow dragons and tigers follow wind, and dragons make clouds to spread rain, but they emerge from the well in Mrs. Xiao's house. There must be a meaning in it."

Dugu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the implication? I also ask Lay Yunshang to give me some advice."

Bai Yunshang smiled and said: "Taoism pays attention to good fortune, and I believe in cause and effect in Buddhism. Ba County is located on the bank of the Yangtze River. The water vein must be connected to the Yangtze River. The well of Mrs. Xiao's house is also the same. Madam may as well pay attention to people who come from the east along the river. People will inevitably visit the prefect's mansion, and all causes and effects are born of this person."

Dugu's heart skipped a beat again, and suddenly she remembered that her husband Xiao Yu had mentioned the matter of Qi Wang Gao Changqing to her last night, and her breathing became tight. Didn't Qi Wang Gao Changqing just come from the east of the river?Could it be that this dream happened to this person? It's too coincidental.

A trace of undetectable surprise flashed in Zen Master Huizhi's eyes, but he stroked his long beard lightly and remained silent.

Bai Yunshang glanced at Dugu whose expression changed, and said with a smile: "Madam Xiao, don't worry too much. In the dream, the black dragon didn't do anything to hurt Madam. It must not be detrimental to Madam. But Yunshang has to remind Madam Xiao, The fate of the family in the future may depend on your thought, madam."...

The Dugu family was slightly shocked, stood up, gathered together, and said: "Amitabha, the believer understands, thank you layman Yunshang for pointing out the maze, the believer wants to invite layman Yunshang to come to the house for a small gathering, I wonder if layman Yunshang will appreciate it? "

Bai Yunshang smiled and said, "Then Yunshang will disturb your residence tomorrow."

Dugu was overjoyed when he heard the words, bid farewell to Bai Yunshang and Zen Master Huizhi, and then left with a heavy heart.

In the Zen room, Zen Master Huizhi gently stroked his long beard and said, "Nephew Yunshang is well-intentioned, why do you help Gao Changqing so much?"

Bai Yunshang said lightly: "This is what the Buddhist sect owes him, and the abbot and master uncle don't think this is God's will?"

Zen Master Huizhi nodded when he heard the words, and said: "That's true, but Dugu had such a dream, so he came to this temple again, and met Master Yunshang again."

Bai Yunshang continued with a smile: "It just so happened that that person also came, maybe it was my Buddha's intention."

Zen Master Huizhi glanced at Bai Yunshang meaningfully and said, "We'll wait until he finds the secret treasure of Buddhism."

Let's say Dugu returned to the mansion and talked with her husband Xiao Yu, the latter was greatly shocked, frowned and said: "She said that the misfortune and fortune are all due to Madam's thought?"

Dugu nodded and said: "The concubine also finds it strange. The concubine is just a woman in a family. The important affairs of the family are not in the hands of your husband. Why do the misfortunes and fortunes all depend on the concubine's thoughts?"

Xiao Yu took a deep look at Dugu, sighed and said, "It seems that this layman Yunshang is indeed quite capable."

"Hey, what do you think my husband said? But this Layman Yunshang is really not simple. He is simply Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Even the concubine can't help but want to pay homage to him. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really can't believe that there is such a thing in the world. Such people." Dugu sighed.

Xiao Yu doubtfully said: "Is that really the case? Then my husband really wants to meet."

Dugu nodded and said: "The concubine has already invited Lay Yunshang to the mansion tomorrow, and the husband will know when he sees it. By the way, why did the husband say that just now?"

Xiao Yu murmured: "Didn't my husband bring up the matter of Li Xiaogong and Gao Changqing with Madam last night? If this matter really happened to Gao Changqing, then the misfortune and good fortune are indeed in your mind, Madam."

Dugu was stunned for a moment, but she would soon feel overwhelmed. After all, she is a woman from a big family, and she is still very politically sensitive. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Does your husband belong to Li Tang or Gao Qi? "

Xiao Yu sighed and said: "My husband is also facing difficulties. In terms of strength, Gao Qi is currently superior, but in terms of good and bad luck, I can only choose Li Tang. Xu Zhi, the prefect of Badong County, has accepted Li Xiaogong's consolation a few days ago. Chichi is sharpening his knives, if my husband refuses to accept the consolation, the Tang army will definitely send troops to attack, and then not only the people of Berkshire will suffer from swords and soldiers, but our family may also suffer disaster."

The Dugu family was frightened when they heard the words: "Then why don't you take refuge in Li Tang, the concubine is still somewhat related to the Emperor Tang, if your husband takes refuge in Li Tang, I think he won't be treated poorly."

Xiao Yu smiled wryly and said: "That's so simple. Qi Wang Gao Changqing is now in Fuling. This person is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He likes to take the edge of the sword, and he can accomplish everything. It has long been rumored that this son is Jiang Xingxia. Since his debut It is true that he has never been defeated. A few days ago, with only two hundred Miao soldiers, he uprooted the gang of thieves on Longhu Cliff. Just ask such a powerful person, if his husband abandons Gao Qi and votes for Li Tang, the other party will be furious I hold grudges against me, and I am afraid that I will have trouble sleeping and eating day and night as my husband in the future. Moreover, if the dream my wife had had should really be on Gao Changqing, this person must be the real dragon emperor, and I am afraid that our family will be the same Can’t be better.”…

Hearing the words, Dugu couldn't help being very entangled, and tremblingly said: "This won't work, and that won't work, it's a dilemma, what should I do?"

Xiao Yu grimaced and said: "My husband has been suffering from headaches because of this recently, but since the layman Yunshang can see the cause and effect, there is no way to resolve it, why don't you ask Madam for advice tomorrow."

Dugu nodded and said, "Alright."

On the second day, the misty autumn rain was still pattering down, and Bai Yunshang came floating with a gray umbrella. Although it was raining and the place was wet everywhere, this woman was still dressed in white clothes better than snow, and her feet were not stained with dust. Her whole body was clean, as if the rain was hiding from her, her jet-black hair was tied up behind her back with just a ribbon, her temperament was dusty, her eyes were full of compassion, like sitting on a cloud watching the suffering of all beings in the world. Here, even the dark sky seemed to brighten up.

When Xiao Yu saw it, he couldn't help being startled as a heavenly man, and had the urge to pay homage to him. At this moment, he finally believed what his wife Dugu said, and hurriedly and respectfully welcomed Bai Yunshang into the mansion.

"Come here, serve tea to Layman Yunshang, and hurry up to inform Madam that Layman Yunshang has arrived at the mansion." Xiao Yu hurriedly ordered, his words and expressions could not hide his excitement.

Xiao Yu originally believed in Buddhism very much, seeing Bai Yunshang's appearance and temperament like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, she was very pleasantly surprised and excited, and she was very respectful.

Bai Yunshang smiled and said: "Lord Xiao, you don't have to be restrained. Yunshang is just a disciple of Buddhism. I heard that Master Xiao is also proficient in Buddhism. Today's visit is just to ask for advice."

Xiao Yu didn't even dare to speak, so the two started talking with each other.

I have to say that Xiao Yu is indeed a very devout Buddhist believer, not a person who pretends to be a fool. Bai Yunshang also admires the Buddhist scriptures at his fingertips. Of course, Xiao Yu is also surprised by Bai Yunshang's knowledge and memorization. This woman is so young. To have this kind of practice, he is worthy of being a disciple of the leader of Buddhism, and he is more and more convinced in his heart.

Bai Yunshang and Xiao Yu talked for a while, wearing Ding Dong behind the screen, Dugu finally came out, sat down with Bai Yunshang after a ceremony, chatted with each other for a while, Dugu invited Bai Yunshang to do a ritual to purify the maid The evil power of the orb.

Bai Yunshang readily agreed, went to the place where the maid threw herself into the well, knocked on the wooden fish, and recited the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra" a hundred times, whether it was due to psychological manipulation or other reasons.After Bai Yunshang finished reading the scriptures, Dugu suddenly felt that the courtyard was brighter, the well was no longer gloomy, and she also smelled a faint fragrance, and she felt much more comfortable. She immediately thanked Bai Yunshang Yes, and a trolley of gold and silver was offered as a thank you gift.

Bai Yunshang didn't refuse, and accepted it with a smile, and took out three invitation cards and handed them to Xiao Yu, saying: "Lingyun Temple will open the eighth temple ceremony at the beginning of next month, and I hope the prefect will appreciate it."

Xiao Yu quickly took it and said, "Xiao Yu will definitely be there, but why are there three copies of the invitation?"

Bai Yunshang smiled slightly and said, "Then I will trouble Prefect Xiao to give it to someone who is destined." Then he left in a hurry.
