His little apprentice has a soft and charming waist

Chapter 9 Eternal Light (2)

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shi took Ning Shuo to go to the temple. The two of them rode in the same carriage, and Li Shi saw the little unicorn hanging from Ning Shuo's waist.

She smiled and bent her eyebrows, "Ah, you look good in your clothes, and the meaning is also very good."

Then it's a pity.In fact, she also thought about telling the banquet bell to Shuo'er, but the old lady disagreed - she disliked the low family status, and her husband also didn't agree, saying that Shuo'er is stupid, and it's better to study hard until he wins Juren before marrying a wife, or Don't delay other girls.

Although these words sound nice, Li Shi still knows that he doesn't like the small family of the Sheng family, so he can do nothing about it.

But two young children cannot be husband and wife, it is good to be brothers and sisters.Let's repeat the old saying, "Your cousin is the only one in Kyoto, we need to take care of you."

Before Ning Shuo nodded, she said happily again: "Since you didn't go back to Qiushan Academy this time, why don't you come to the temple to offer incense with us in a few days? Your cousin is going to visit her husband-in-law that day. You talk to Fifth Young Master Yu, and find out about his daily preferences."

Ning Shuo originally intended to take a look at the young disciple's future husband-in-law.The fate of the two of them as a master and apprentice always has to plan for her future.

When he was in Lingnan back then, he was already terminally ill and couldn't think about too many things. He only remembered that although Young Master Yu was young, he was calm, good-looking, and talented, so he didn't say much, but thinking about it now, He had only met Fifth Young Master Yu a few times, so he couldn't talk about knowing his character, so he had to inquire carefully.

So he nodded, "Okay, I will listen to my mother."

Hearing this, Li Shi seemed to be chewing honey, and the whole person was happy.The son is really sensible.

When she got to the temple, she first went to the abbot and said, "I'm here to fulfill my vows, and I'm also here to offer scriptures."

The abbot is a lean old monk, with a gray beard, light brows and heavy eyes, with an air of superiority, but when he saw the money that Mrs. Li gave him, he happily gave him a smiling face, and he smiled happily. After seeing Maitreya Buddha, he personally took her to the treasure hall and boasted: "Madam is sincere, and the Buddha will definitely protect her."

Ning Shuo followed the two into the treasure hall.

The Daxiong Hall originally refers to the main hall in the Buddhist temple, but after frequent wars, the other halls in the temple were destroyed, leaving only one main hall. If it is called Daxiong Baodian Temple, the other side halls do not need to be repaired, only the hall should be repaired, just like the way of the world, only the Tao should be repaired."

This remark was passed on by later generations as a good story.But his father told him and the crown prince that the holy grandfather said this because he didn't have money to repair the side hall, so he pulled up a banner of righteousness to block his poor reputation.

At that time, he and the prince were still young, and it was the time when they were "cynical". What about ghosts and gods?

It should not even repair the Daxiong Palace!
As a result, within a few years, he really became a ghost. Some god wanted to help him and let him live again.

He took a deep breath, and heard Li Shi calling him, "Suo'er, come, burn incense to the Buddha."

For the first time, Ning Shuo knelt down seriously and kowtowed sincerely.

Li Shi was very satisfied, so she turned around and said to the abbot, "I also want to light an everlasting lamp for the deceased."

As soon as he finished speaking, a person came in from outside, wearing a veiled hat, just looking at his figure and clothes, he could tell that he was a man in his 20s, and he didn't know anything else.

Mrs. Li and the abbot glanced at it, then turned their heads and didn't look at it again.Dressing up like this, it should be that you don't want people to know your identity.

Li continued to whisper: "He just passed away not long ago, can he still light the everlasting lamp?"

The abbot thought about it in his mind, and his smile grew wider: "Yes, we can also do a ritual, so that the dead can rest in peace."

Earn more by doing things.

Li Shi: "Okay, let's do a ritual..."

But before she finished speaking, she saw Ning Shuo's face was pale, and she hurried over immediately, "Are you sick again?"

Ning Shuo lowered his head, his eyes were stained with frost, he covered his heart with one hand, and supported Li's body with the other, his whole body was weak.

His movement like this also provoked the man wearing the veiled hat to look over, but he only took one look, then he didn't mind his own business, and retreated instead.

After they left, Ning Shuo felt that the pain in his bones gradually subsided.

He raised his eyes to look at the door, and the crown prince had already walked away wearing a veiled hat - Mrs. Li and the abbot didn't know who the other party was, but Ning Shuo could recognize him at a glance.

——At the age of five in January, he went to the palace to accompany the prince. When he entered the prison in the winter of 21, he broke his head and knelt and broke his legs, begging to see the prince. When he died in a silent night in March of 25, he also hated the prince.

A full 20 years and two months.

How could he not recognize the prince.

But what is the prince doing in the Daxiong Palace...

He closed his eyes, breathed out a foul breath, and slowly sat up straight, then smiled slightly at Li Shi, and comforted him: "Mother, it's okay, I just knelt down once, and I feel a little dizzy when I get up."

Li Shi was scared to tears!She was trembling all over, "We'll go back right away to see the doctor."

Ning Shuo shook his head, "My own body, I know best, it's really fine. Just sit down and it'll be fine. Didn't mother just say something to the abbot? You're done, it's not too late for us to go back."

Mrs. Li couldn't resist him, so she quickly said to the abbot, "He's my niece's teacher, but he only knows the surname Jing, can he practice rituals and worship the ever-burning lamp?"

Ning Shuo was taken aback by these words, but his heart eased when he saw the prince's sudden pain just now.

Well, this is the little disciple worshiping him.

But she didn't know anything about him.He couldn't help smiling, and he could guess the subsequent conversation between Li Shi and the abbot.

Sure enough, the abbot asked, "Do you know the birth date?"

Li Shi hurried back and shook her head.

The abbot asked: "Are you famous or taboo? Where was he born? Where did he die?"

Mrs. Li continued to shake her head first, and hurriedly said: "I don't know the name, I don't know where I was born, but I died in Lingnan."

The abbot was a little embarrassed, but he still wanted to do this business, so he said: "Then burn more money paper offerings, such a person with no name, no birthday and only one surname, I am afraid that if they are burned, some will be given to lonely ghosts." .”

Li Shi didn't care: "Then burn more."

She was going to take her son home to see a doctor, so she said: "I'll ask someone to bring the money, and the abbot will see that he will perform a big ritual."

Ning Shuo originally wanted to see the ceremony for him, but this time Li Shi didn't agree with anything, so he helped him and left.

After everyone had left, the abbot realized that he hadn't asked the deceased's date of death in a hurry just now. He shook his head, "Forget it, anyway, I don't know anything, and there is no shortage of a date of death."

Just give me money.

A young novice came in and whispered: "Master, just now a benefactor wearing a veiled hat came and wanted to do something. He was very generous and gave 100 taels of silver."

The abbot's beard blew up with laughter, "I also have a lot of money here, at least 100 taels."

The little novice took out the paper given by the benefactor and handed it to the abbot, "The benefactor said he was in a hurry to leave, and he would just do the ritual according to this, so he won't read it here."

The abbot took the paper and looked at it, amused, "This one is also surnamed Jing, but it has a name, and it's called Lanshi."

He read out: "Jing Lanshi was born at noon on September 22, the second year of Jingtai, and died on March 27, the [-]th year of Jingtai."

He was 25 years old.
