Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 63

Jingning Temple is a royal temple, so there are not many pilgrims. Sheng Shaoqing looked back and saw that his party was so powerful that it was more powerful than the people in Jingning Temple, so he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Get up."

Aning stood up at the right time and asked, "Where is the abbot of the temple?"

In fact, Ah Ning didn't ask, Sheng Shaoqing saw at a glance the old monk headed by him, wearing a gold-thread cassock, with a peaceful and extraordinary bearing, he must be the abbot.

Sure enough, as soon as Aning finished speaking, the monk came out, "That's the poor monk, please, Queen Mother."

The abbot stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and greeted Sheng Shaoqing into Jingning Temple.

The Buddha's clean place was filled with sandalwood, and Sheng Shaoqing's heart that had just been jolted up and down was gradually calmed down. He couldn't help taking a deep breath, and followed the abbot to the clean room.

"The poor monk's Dharma name Rinpo, if there is an order, please send someone to pass it on."

"Master Rinpo?" Sheng Shaoqing asked tentatively, seeing that the abbot had no disobedience on his face, he knew that he was calling the right one, and then said, "Master Ai's trouble, please forgive me."

Master Rinpo smiled and replied, "The Empress Dowager is here to make the small temple flourish, why bother?"

Jingning Temple is not a big place, but it is also clean and tidy. Sheng Shaoqing watched Cui Yun and the others come in and out with satisfaction.

It's really comfortable to meet the ministers and check homework without reviewing memorials.

While Sheng Shaoqing was feeling emotional, a burst of melancholy flashed across his heart, and he didn't know if those people were hooked.

[Host, the location of that batch of goods has already left Bianjing City. 】

Sheng Shaoqing was the only one in the clean room. She was startled by the sudden notification from the system, "You scared me!"

[If you have no ghosts in your heart, what are you afraid of? 】

"Hehe, I don't have ghosts in my heart, am I not a ghost?"

The system was choked speechless by Sheng Shaoqing, and it was definitely not the work of its advanced system to argue with women, so it had to change the subject quietly, [According to their speed, they will arrive at Chenliu tomorrow morning. 】

"They're pretty quick," Sheng Shaoqing asked suspiciously, "Didn't I let Mrs. Li send a letter and everything will be fine?"

[Perhaps they were worried about Ye Chang’s dream, but it’s really strange that they hurried south. 】

Sheng Shaoqing suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart, but she tried her best to hold back this strange feeling rising up.

Because, once she had a bad premonition about what she did in the past, it would most likely turn out to be wrong, and if she didn't feel much about it all the time, she would have unexpected gains.

This familiar yet disgusting feeling made her feel anxious all of a sudden. If Yun Zhi worked hard, there would be good news tomorrow.

But if not?

She never seemed to want to fail.

With a system, how could it fail?

Sheng Shaoqing comforted herself like this, and then walked out slowly.

Seeing that the queen mother was very happy just now, Cui Yun suddenly walked out without hesitation, and didn't dare to disturb her.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to go out, Cui Yun turned around and went to the clean room to get the cloak, and hurriedly followed Sheng Shaoqing with a few attendants.

The stone steps in the temple are all made of bluestone, with 81 steps as one floor, and each floor has a treasure hall.

Sheng Shaoqing climbed to the last floor in one breath, and walked into the Daxiong Hall panting.

The huge golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni stood in the center, and a gust of cool wind passed through the hall in front of it, making Sheng Shaoqing shiver from the cold.

Cui Yun also followed in panting. The queen mother's legs and feet are not like being pampered every day, but more flexible than her who works every day.

Taking the cloak from the attendant behind her, Cui Yun walked closer, "It's cool on the mountain, the queen mother should also wear a cloak, the wind in the hall is cold, and it's easier to get cold."

Sheng Shaoqing patted Cui Yun's hand that was tying the bow for her, "It's fine."

The monks were all doing afternoon classes, and they didn't notice the arrival of Sheng Shaoqing and Cui Yun at all.

Sheng Shaoqing didn't believe in Buddhism, but now that he came to his place, he still knelt down on the soft cushion.

I have also been to Buddhist temples in various places when I traveled in the past. The Buddha statues I saw at that time were also shining with gold, but they were not as grand as the one in front of me.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Buddha statue is superbly crafted and lifelike. The key point is that when Sheng Shaoqing stood and looked at this Buddha statue, the Buddha's eyes were slightly closed, but when she knelt down, the Buddha's eyes seemed to be opened. She looked across.

But what did she ask for?

She came here from death through time travel, and she hasn't seriously thought about what she wants to do.

In other words, she has never seriously thought about this issue in her two lifetimes.

In the past, according to her parents' plan, she only needed to follow the established track to study, find a job, get married, have children, and then watch her children enter the same cycle as herself.

That being the case, then she can do badly if she can. As long as she does not fall below the lower limit set by her parents, and no one touches her own one-third of an acre of land, no one will interfere with her, and she will not provoke others.

Therefore, she would rather go to sleep than face the ruins of reality in front of her.

After one day, she thought that she would just continue to muddle along, but under the coercion and lure of this broken system, she actually embarked on a completely opposite path from before.

Then, ask for everything to go smoothly and live up to your original intention.

Sheng Shaoqing clasped his hands together, silently recited the wish in his heart, and the system jumped out to interject inappropriately, 【People say that making a wish doesn't work, why did you still recite it? 】

"I don't read it, don't you know?"

[That's not true, I'll still know. 】

"Then shut up."

【I want to say.】

Before the system finished speaking, the abbot of the temple saw Sheng Shaoqing and greeted Sheng Shaoqing, "Why is the Queen Mother here now? The lectures only started in the evening, and now it's time for the monks to have lunch classes."

Sheng Shaoqing hurriedly waved his hands, "Aijia is just strolling casually, so it won't disturb you?"

The abbot heard the words, "That's not true, the Queen Mother just entertains herself."

The abbot was about to leave after finishing speaking, but he seemed to think of something and turned back, "If the queen mother wants to see the scenery, there is a waterfall behind the small temple. It is frozen in winter and shines brightly in the sun. It is a beautiful place. .”

Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's eyes lit up, Cui Yun knew that the Queen Mother was interested, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know how far it is from here?"

The abbot smiled and said, "It's not far. If the queen mother wants to go, the poor monk will lead the way for the queen mother."

"Then trouble the mage."

The abbot waved his hand and led Sheng Shaoqing out from the back door of the temple. After climbing a few more stone steps, the closed mountain road in front of him suddenly opened up, and a natural waterfall came into view.

Sheng Shaoqing tightened the cloak around her body, and Cui Yun also handed Mrs. Tang to warm her hands, but the mountain wind was steep, and the warmth in her hands still couldn't withstand the temperature.

The cascading waterfalls were frozen, and the icicles reflected strange brilliance in the sun.
