Chapter 105 Prayers
When a group of two carriages and four horses arrived at the gate of Tianchang Temple, the sun had already appeared, but it was not as red and bright as usual.It seems that today is not a sunny day, Hui Lan murmured to herself.

The two sisters shared a car, talking and laughing on the road, which was not boring.During the conversation, Hui Lan's tenth birthday was less than a month away.

In ancient times, marriage was early, and ten years old was considered an older child, so this tenth birthday is considered relatively important.

Hui Lan didn't care at all, "Cousin, just don't forget the gift, the others don't matter."

"Don't worry, I will remember, you are indispensable." Cousin Wang spoiled with a smile.

"Birthday is a trivial matter. I just hope that the two uncles will go smoothly abroad. They have been excellent in the evaluation for two years in a row, and they are moved every three years. It would be the best if they can be promoted to Beijing." Hui Lan waved Wave your hands and imagine the future.

"It's a good thing to be able to reunite with the family, and whether you get promoted or not is second to none." Cousin Wang was indifferent.

Hui Lan looked at her cousin who was already slim, and felt relieved that her own cabbage had grown up.Cousin has already passed her 14th birthday, and she will be of age in April next year, so she will really be a big girl, and it's time to find her husband's family.Her own good cabbage was about to be sent to the pigsty, and the pigs kicked it, Hui Lan could only sigh.

Not only the cousin, but the two cousins ​​are also approaching their age, and it's time to find other people's cabbages.It's time for the younger siblings who followed the two uncles to go to school. With such pressures, the two uncles probably knew it well.At least next year, no matter what, I have to go to Beijing again.Otherwise, for such important matters for children and grandchildren, it is impossible to rely on the grandfather alone.

So there were a lot of things to ask for today, and Hui Lan felt more solemn in her heart, and acted carefully.

The two sisters were in awe, and today they were dressed plainly, one in moon white and the other in snow green, and both wore thin capes in duck egg green.There are also only one or two hairpin rings on the head, which seems to have the elegance of Xiaojiabiyu.

After getting off the car at the gate of the mountain, the two of them each brought two maids into the Taoist temple.The guards also spread out and walked around. This is a place outside the square, and basically no one dares to be presumptuous, so there is no problem with safety.What's more, Huilan still brought Jasper by her side, and the guards would not stay away.

Huilan looked around before going up the steps, and saw green pines and cypresses everywhere, shaded by green trees, simple and simple palaces, fresh and quiet, it can indeed be called a treasure mirror of fairy mountains.It is said that she has lived in this capital for more than five years, and she has never been to a Taoist temple or anything like that.Hui Lan thought to herself, it seems that the family doesn't like this kind of project very much.

But Huilan decided to take a good look and try the vegetarian dishes. If there are no shortcomings in various aspects, she can come here often.Although she is not very religious, she is also in awe.Moreover, Taoism is famous for its health-preserving methods, Hui Lan is very interested.

As long as she looked around, there was an endless stream of pilgrims going up the steps, so she knew that this place was full of incense and famous far and wide.

She had also inquired about this place with her elders before, but she didn't remember anything else. She only remembered that this place was built in the Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty.She was wondering why this sounded familiar.Once upon a time when she was studying at university in Beijing, she loved going to temples and Taoist temples, and she remembered that Baiyun Temple also seemed to have such a jade statue, which was regarded as a legend.

Huilan was very excited if it was true in the past and present life. Such a thousand-year-old temple with rich heritage and inheritance can really be worshiped and entrusted to.Even if it wasn't, this is a well-known place that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it's not some shoddy artificial attraction.

In this life, we will inevitably encounter some things that science cannot explain. Worshiping God and burning incense for peace of mind is also a sustenance.Hui Lan considered her own strange background, and always had a respect for ghosts, gods, Buddhas and Taoism.Compared with the prosperous Buddhist school, Hui Lan prefers the native Taoist school, which is quiet and inaction, and Taoism follows nature.

It is said that if you worship the gods, you will be blessed by the gods, but she has never been presumptuous in front of the statues of the elders in the family.As for the dojo outside, she decided to fix one that she could walk around frequently.She is a person who believes in sight, so she decided to take a good look at it today, and this is where she closed her eyes.

The two sisters didn't speak after they stepped up the steps. It is necessary to be quiet in the place of gods and Buddhas.The two went directly to the statue of Lao Tzu, it was crowded with people, and it was their turn after queuing for a while.

Just one look at Cymbidium is enough to tell the truth. This is the Baiyun Temple of later generations.It's all right, she has made up her mind.

The two took the incense they had brought, lit the incense with the candles in the hall, prayed devoutly and inserted into the large incense burner with green smoke curling up, and then bowed three times and knocked nine times.

Hui Lan's wish is simple: I wish my lover and those who love me health and safety.

The worship was quick, and the two went to the side hall to ask for a peace talisman.Then I went to the hall dedicated to Emperor Wenchang. His old man is the righteous god in charge of the fame and fortune of scholars, and he should be worshiped seriously.

The Grand Competition is approaching, and Emperor Wenchang's place is no less crowded than Laojun's Palace.The two of them waited in line for a long time before they squeezed in front of them. It was still a set procedure of offering incense, praying and paying homage, which was extremely devout.After worshiping, I went to the side hall as usual to ask for talismans, one for each person, double insurance, and my cousin buddies are on the list.

By the time they left the temple gate, the sun had already risen quite high.Although the sun is not strong, the temperature has also risen.There are people coming and going all around, and it looks very lively.

After tossing and tossing for more than half an hour, Hui Lan had nothing but a layer of sweat.Cousin Wang is a girl in the boudoir, she does not exercise much, and she is already a little out of breath being supported by two maids.

Hui Lan couldn't care less about looking at the scenery, so she sent Biyu to find a resting place.Liu Ya took the basket from the maids of the Wang family with winking eyes, so that they could help Cousin Wang.

Several people slowly descended the steps in front of the hall and made way to the side.People come and go, it's not good to block the way, and it's not even better to be hit.

Soon, Biyu came running quickly, and before she could look around, Hui Lan waved at her, "Here, Biyu."

Biyu, with sharp ears and eyesight and quick agility, quickly found the target and ran over. "Girl, there is a forest to the south of Wenchang Hall, and there are several stone tables over there. It's not far, less than a hundred paces away."

Hui Lan nodded, "Cousin, let's go and rest for a while."

Cousin Wang was no longer panting, but there was still a trace of fatigue between her brows, she nodded upon hearing this.Huilan asked Biyu to lead the way, and then she went forward and changed a maid to follow her cousin's hand.

Sure enough, as Biyu said, it didn't take long to arrive.The forest is not big, and the bamboo is planted.Today is windy, and the branches and leaves are rustling.It should be a place to escape the summer heat, but it's already autumn, and it's a bit cold to stay here, so there are only two or three tables sitting on the seven or eight stone tables.

A maid spread a veil on the stone bench, and Hui Lan helped her cousin sit down.The maids took the previously prepared copper pots that could keep warm to make tea, and placed the teacups and snacks on the table.

Hui Lan looked at her cousin whose expression had almost recovered, and suggested, "Sister, how can you do this, let me find some ways for you to strengthen yourself.

Cousin Wang smiled, "It's because I haven't slept well for a while, and I woke up earlier today, and I'm not so lazy on weekdays."

Hui Lan nodded, her cousin hadn't reached Ji, and she had almost been responsible for the family's internal affairs by herself in the past few years.Coupled with the fact that the two elder brothers are about to take the exam, they will only be more tired.

"You can take it easy. You are indispensable at home as the host of Zhongfu. I will bring you some bird's nest and ginseng when you go back. Remember to eat it. Your health is important." Hui Lan poured a cup of hot tea for her cousin, and couldn't help but remind her. said a word.

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who loses big because of small things, and I will take good care of it." Cousin Wang promised, holding a teacup.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Cousin Wang looked much better, and Hui Lan felt relieved.Watching her eat a piece of easy-to-digest snack, she almost came back to life with full blood.

Hui Lan also drank tea and ate some snacks, and then couldn't sit still.Cousin Wang saw it in her eyes, "Take a look around, it's rare to come here, I'm impatient and left, so I'll wait for you here for tea and snacks."

Seeing her cousin back to normal, Hui Lan nodded in agreement.Tell my cousin not to wander around, she will come back after a turn.Then he left Liu Ya to help and rest, and left with Bi Yu.

Hui Lan has been to Baiyun Temple before, so she probably knows the layout.But it has been thousands of years, and it is very different.Compared with later generations, Tianchang Temple is much smaller, with only one building.Along the stone road in the middle, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Sanguan Hall, the God of Wealth Hall, the Medicine King Hall...

People can't be too greedy, so Hui Lan resisted the urge to go to the Temple of the God of Wealth and the Hall of the King of Medicine.Decided to come here to say goodbye next time, for health and fortune, hehe.

It doesn't take long to walk around all the way.After all, if you don't enter the palace, you will lose a set of procedures and save a lot of time.When she walked not far from the forest, less than half an hour had passed.

Far away, I heard noises inside, and a woman's voice vaguely.Hui Lan grimaced, and trotted over with Biyu.

When I ran closer, through the bamboo, I could vaguely see several men and women surrounding the place where my cousin was sitting.

Hui Lan gritted her teeth and ran in, bypassing the forest, and saw the situation in front of her at a glance.

The cousin was standing not far from the table, sinking like water, Liu Ya and a big girl stood in front of her, and another girl supported her arm.The cups and plates on the table were messed up, the pot was overturned, the snacks were scattered, and the water stains flowed all over the table. A black and shiny raccoon slave was lying in the middle of the table, licking its paws contentedly.

A small slender hand was caressing the back of the raccoon slave.The owner of the hand is a half-grown girl who looks rich and powerful, and there are several men and women scattered around.

Hui Lan just had one thought, even if the claw couldn't be chopped off, the beast would have to be bled.Just because people don't care about animals, it shouldn't make people suffer, it doesn't make sense.

Hearing footsteps, people on both sides looked over.Hui Lan was looking at her cousin, seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, she was half relieved, as long as she didn't suffer.The two looked at each other, and Cousin Wang smiled reassuringly, and Hui Lan felt her heart drop.

Instead of going to see the opposite house, Hui Lan walked directly to her cousin, looked at her carefully again, and was completely relieved.

Seeing Hui Lan's troubled expression, Liu Ya saluted immediately, followed by the maids of the Wang family.Hui Lan focused all her attention on her cousin and didn't look at Liu Ya.

Before she could speak, she heard a somewhat familiar voice, "Isn't this Li's cousin? What a coincidence!"

 Thank you Kitty, Lai Linglong, I love baby 123 votes
