Jingci Temple is located in the suburb of the northwest corner of Yunshan Prefecture. It was built in the former dynasty. It is not very big, and the main offering is the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva. The golden body of Guanyin Bodhisattva is reshaped and enshrined in the Guanyin Hall, the largest hall in Jingci Temple.

This is a nunnery, not as magnificent as the Daxiong Hall of the Monk Temple, but it also stands awe-inspiring. There are two small stupas in front of the hall.

The suburb where Jingci Temple is located is a relatively remote place in Yunshan Mansion, quite a distance from the market. Naturally, this place is not as lively as in the city, but the picture is quiet.

There are not many buildings in Jingci Nunnery, but they are all very exquisite. There are dense pine forests, and plantains grow sparsely among the pine forests.

Inside the Buddhist temple, there are many golden bodhi trees, green pines, strong bamboos, and bodhi trees swaying slightly. Most of the time, Jingci Nunnery is silent, as quiet as the eternal silence of the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Jingci Nunnery does not receive pilgrims at all times, and only fixed three or five days a month can enter the nunnery to worship Buddha. The visitors are also women, and almost never receive male pilgrims.

The black angled eaves with the characteristics of the Great Qin Dynasty are under the sky, showing an extremely heavy cultural characteristic. Only from the Buddhist temples in these exquisite attics, there is a sacred smell, and the air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. Sure enough, it is a good place for Buddhist disciples to practice, quiet and solemn.

After the heavy snowfall, because of the remote location, the road outside Jingci Nunnery still has snow and has not been cleared. Today is also the day when Jingci Nunnery opens its doors to welcome pilgrims. But there are not many, there are many horses and chariots outside Jingci Temple.

Today, Chu Huan accompanied Lin Lang to worship the Buddha. For Lin Lang, it was only because the Su family was in great difficulty that she worshiped the Buddha and offered incense, praying to the Bodhisattva to bless the Su family through this difficult situation.

In addition to Chu Huan, Lin Lang also brought the maid Cuiping, and the other two guards. After getting off the carriage, Lin Lang said to Chu Huan: "Chu Huan, you wait here, you are men, it is not good to enter the nunnery." , Cuiping and I will come out soon!"

Chu Huan nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Big Boss, we'll just wait here!"

Lin Lang smiled sweetly, and then took Cuiping to Jingci Nunnery.

The carriage driver had already smiled and said: "Master Chu, you come and sit here!" He got down from the shaft of the chariot and called Chu Huan to sit up, which was considered to make room for Chu Huan.

The servants of the Su Manor now know that Chu Huan's real identity is the general of the imperial guards, which is no small matter. Moreover, everyone also knows that Chu Huan chopped off his arm with a single knife.

Originally, the nursing home recruited by Lin Lang was still dissatisfied with Chu Huan's role as the nursing home master, but after what happened last night, everyone was convinced. add.

Chu Huan was not pretentious. He sat down at the head of the car, looked at Jingci nunnery not far away, and asked, "How old is this nunnery? I see that the two stupas are old, but the walls of this courtyard are collapsed." Like newly built."

A nursing home in his early thirties has come forward and said with a smile: "Master Chu, when we talk about this Jingci Temple, it has been around for a while. It was built during the previous dynasty, and it has been around for four or fifty years."

Chu Huan was surprised: "But the courtyard wall outside looks like it has just been repaired."

"That's right, this Jingci nunnery was renovated just last year." The nurse smiled and said, "It has been renovated from the inside to the outside. It seems that some kind person paid for the renovation, but no one knows who paid the money. silver."

"Is there such a good person?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "That's a real Lei Feng!"

"Live Lei Feng?" The coachman and the two guards didn't understand.

Knowing that he had slipped up, Chu Huan waved his hand, but he saw that Jingci Temple did not leave. He already thought that Master Rulian and his disciples were kicked out from here, and he was very puzzled.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps beside him, and even soft weeping. Chu Huan turned his head to look, and saw a man in coarse clothes holding a five or six-year-old child, hurrying past the carriage. Beside him was a woman wearing a gray turban, who was sobbing as she walked, very sad.

Chu Huan frowned. Seeing Chu Huan's doubts, a guard next to him wanted to please Chu Huan. He chased after him and said loudly, "What happened to you? Where are you going?"

The big man didn't look back, just walked straight forward, the lady turned her head and glanced, sadly said: "The child is about to die, let's ask the gods for help...!"

The guardian thought they were asking for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and pointed to Jingci Temple: "While asking the Bodhisattva to go there, you are going the wrong way."

The man who was walking quickly turned his head and said bitterly: "What kind of Bodhisattva is that? Our husband and wife worship Buddha wholeheartedly, but in the end it is like this. Those gods and Buddhas are disrespectful." Without further ado, he led his mother-in-law to hurry walk away.

Chu Huan could hear it clearly, but felt it was very strange. He jumped off the carriage and said, "You guys wait here. I'll go and see what's going on."

They hurriedly agreed, and then Chu Huan quickly followed the couple and walked all the way. After only a short while, he turned to a side road and saw a hut not far away. There is a very tall locust tree.

In the winter snow season, only dead branches are left of the locust tree, which stands tall and bare. The couple in front are going to the big locust tree.

Chu Huan could see clearly that under the big locust tree, there were dozens of people sitting in darkness around the big locust tree. I don't know why those people are like this.

The couple had already stepped forward quickly, and the man had already shouted: "God help me, god help me...!"

Chu Huan frowned, and took a few steps forward. At this moment, he finally saw clearly that the group of people were sitting around the big locust tree, and under the big locust tree, there was a man in black sitting cross-legged.

The man's whole body was covered by a black robe, and even his nose and mouth were sealed by a black cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed. The whole person looked a little thin, like a black stone under a big locust tree.

The man yelled for help, and the people under the locust tree turned their heads to look. Chu Huan also saw clearly at this time that the people around the big locust tree were all ordinary people. There were poor people in coarse clothes, but there were also those in brocade clothes. Rich people, more than 20 people centered on the man in black robe, everyone looked very pious.

The sudden arrival of this couple obviously alarmed the people here. The man in black also raised his head. Seeing the man holding the child, he quickly grabbed it and raised his hand, and a commoner stepped forward to take it from the man's hand. The child, and two more immediately took off their clothes, put them on the ground, put the child on the clothes and lay down.

Chu Huan was amazed, and he was already approaching at this time, but these people didn't care about his arrival, and no one paid attention to him.

The child was placed in front of the black-robed man, and the couple had already knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "The gods save the child, he is about to die... Please save him...!"

Chu Huan went over and imitated those people, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He looked at the man in black robe, and saw that the man in black robe had gray eyebrows, obviously an old man, with kind brows and kind eyes, soft eyes, as if he could see through the suffering of the world, but his thin body seemed to have indescribable strength.

The man in black stretched out his hand, rolled over the child's eyelids, and then quickly looked at several places on the child's body. He picked up the child's hand and pulled off his sleeves. When Chu Huan saw it, he couldn't help being surprised. On the arm, there were more than a dozen large black sores, which looked very terrifying.

Everyone in the surrounding area was holding their breath. Although some people showed horror in their eyes, they didn't make a single sound, as if they were afraid of disturbing the black-robed man.

The man in black looked at it for a while, but held the child's little hand with his rather dry hand, closed his eyes, and did not make any other movements, just groaning softly.

Chu Huan's ears were sensitive, and even though he was not very close to the man in black robe, he could hear very clearly. He vaguely felt that the man in black robe was reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"As a disciple of the Buddha, I often recite the eight great enlightenments day and night with my heart: the first enlightenment: the world is impermanent; , Formed as a sinful place, observe like this, and gradually leave life and death. The second perception: Too much desire is suffering; life and death are tired, starting from greed, less desire and inaction, and the body and mind are at ease. The third perception: the heart is never satisfied, only more Begging, increase evil; bodhisattvas are not, always think content, live in poverty and keep the way, only wisdom is karma...!"

Although he could only see the eyes of the black-robed man clearly, he could feel that the black-robed man was extremely calm. His voice was deep and deep, but it seemed to have magical powers. The crowd around the tree followed quickly. Chant up.

All of a sudden, under the big locust tree, Buddhist scriptures rang out everywhere. The low and solemn sound of Buddhist scriptures seemed to be integrated with everything in the world, and everyone was extremely devout.

When Chu Huan heard the sound of the Buddhist scriptures being recited, he felt a sense of relief, as if his body had already merged with a tree and a tree, and in his mind, he quickly felt a sense of ecstasy. , his whole body seemed to be like a goose feather, light and fluffy.

Suddenly, Chu Huan seemed to feel something, and suddenly opened his eyes. His willpower was extremely tenacious, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

When he fell into that feeling of lightness, it seemed that only the man in black was chanting sutras in his ears, and the voices of the others stopped abruptly. When he tried to open his eyes, he found those under the big locust tree. People are still reciting in a low voice, and everyone is singing in unison, which feels very strange.

Chu Huan looked at the child, and saw that the man in black was still holding the child's arm, but the sore on the child's arm began to burst, and black blood flowed out slowly from the sore.
