Poor children

Chapter 6: Unpredictable, narrow escape from death

一
On the early morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the third lady took Yun'er and went to the Baiyun nunnery alone in a carriage. It took almost two hours to reach the entrance of the nunnery. Notify the abbot that the three ladies here have entered the nunnery and are heading to the main hall. The old nun over there has already come to greet them.

"Greetings to Godmother!" The third lady leaned over to greet her.
"Amitabha! My son, I have been thinking about you these past few days, but you just happened to be here."

"My daughter also thinks about her godmother every day, and this happens as soon as she has free time."

Although she was called Chen, her fate was not over. In her early years, she committed a crime and left the house to avoid selling goods. Her methods of murdering people and stealing money were very vicious. I thought she would be able to meditate after becoming a monk, but I never imagined that she would actually be in this nunnery. It's some shameful thing

This Liao Chen has friendships with many high-ranking officials in the court, and is also familiar with the underworld Lu Lin. Those dirty officials rely on her to entrust people to do their dirty work. She also finds people to sell some of the dirty money, and makes some shady transactions. Just trade in her nunnery. This nunnery even has a prison and a secret room.

What you see is a pure place for monks, but in fact there is no purity at all
Moreover, Liao Chen was born with intelligence. She met a witch doctor in Yunnan when she was on the run in her early years before she became a monk. She served him for many years and learned many witchcraft and psychic skills. It is said that this man signed a contract with Hades, promising her eternal life. She was allowed to take human life on the condition that she must sacrifice a girl to Pluto as a concubine every three years. I wonder if this is true.

Here we arranged for the third lady to stay in a Zen room. After the lunch break, the abbot took the third lady to the main hall to chant sutras and pray for a child.
The two of them entered the hall and knelt down on the futon, bowed three times to the Tathagata, and then sat down to chant sutras. In the hall, incense smoke filled the air, and the sound of bells and wooden fish continued. I, the Tathagata, have a solemn Dharma appearance, a golden body and a height of [-] feet, with my eyes slightly closed, to save all living beings. …

The two of them closed their eyes tightly and muttered words as if they were chanting sutras.

"I checked your luck. You and your husband are destined to have no children. There is evil in your marriage," the old nun said.

"Do you know, godmother, that one has given birth to another child? If this continues, I may be kicked out."

"My son, don't panic. Being childless with him doesn't mean being childless with others. Don't worry, you can stay for a few more days and find a good man for your mother..."

This statement is very obvious. In order to have an heir, the third wife is willing to do the thing of cheating on Hongxing.

I just didn’t expect that these three ladies were destined to be childless. Although they had an affair with someone else, they still couldn’t get pregnant. As for how they gave birth to two children, that’s a story for another day. You will naturally know it in the future...

After dinner, the third lady went to sit in the Chen meditation room. The mother and daughter had tea and talked, and the third lady told her about the poor child.
"With this girl here, I feel really angry and want to ask my godmother for help."

"Wang Shenxian has seen that child?" Master Tai asked

"I haven't seen it! I just said that I am destined to be rich and noble, and to be above ten thousand people."

"In my opinion, what he said is true."

The third lady was displeased, "Why don't you ask your godmother for advice? Then the child died at birth, mother?"

The master laughed and said, "My son, you don't know the truth. That girl was destined to be born in that family. Without her birth, her mother would not have had any need to live. Her mother came here just for her... Now that the merits of giving birth to her are perfect, she must have been reincarnated into a wealthy family, and she will enjoy happiness in this life."

"Then why is the prince hurt too? She always beats her father, right?"

"The prince was hurt by the resentment when his mother died. Her soul had just left the body and had not gone far. I was unwilling to think of being hurt so badly by this person in this life, so the prince suffered this disaster."

The master's wife said again, "My son, you are also destined to be lucky. She is in a hurry to be reincarnated. If she stays for a few more days, she will definitely take your life..." The third lady's face was pale with fright at this time, her whole body was trembling and she kept shouting, " Godmother, help me!"

"Now that she's gone, you don't have to be afraid, but if the child born to her is as the old fairy said, you really can't kill her. She has heaven's blessing and you can't beat her."

The third lady agreed, but she thought in her heart that she would not be killed, how could she live an easy life...

Let’s talk about how Wang Banxian hurried back to the Taoist temple a few days ago because of a visitor. The visitor was none other than the Northwest King.
It is not easy to say that this half-immortal used some tricks to become a substitute for the old prince to become a monk. In fact, he came from the northwest and was originally the uncle of the northwest king. As for why he came to the Central Plains to become a monk?This is also a later story...

Qingfeng Temple is built on the top of Liangyue Mountain. Deep in the clouds, smoke lingers all year round, so it has a fairy atmosphere...

Regardless of how old the half-immortal is, he has been cultivating immortality for many years and has extraordinary character. It is said that his skills are also extraordinary. However, no one has seen him before. In the past two days across the mountain, someone like him has arrived at the gate of the mountain without even leaving a stick of incense. The little Taoist boy who picked him up disappeared without a trace.
As soon as the half-immortal arrived at the temple, he hurriedly went to the Zen room to meet the Northwest King.

When the king of the northwest saw the half-immortal entering the door, he hurriedly saluted and called him "uncle."

Banxian hurriedly helped him up, "I'm already a monk, so I don't need to be so polite."

"Tianxing, come here and kowtow." The Northwest King called the boy behind him
The boy immediately knelt down and kowtowed to say hello. The half-immortal helped him up and looked carefully, "How old is the child this year?"

"fifteen"

"You were not as old as him when I went out to practice. In the blink of an eye, your child is now fifteen." The half-immortal smiled and took off the string of sheep's horn beads from his wrist and put it on Tianxing. "This string of beads has been stained by my practice for many years." These immortal energy are destined to be with you today, please take them with you to keep you safe."

Tian Xing took the string of beads with both hands, thanked him respectfully and stepped aside. The half-immortal asked the prince again, "You must be here for something?"

"My northwest is located between the Central Plains and the Turks. We have been peaceful and peaceful in the past few years, but I am afraid that this kind of life will not last forever. In the past few months, the Turks have harassed the border several times. My uncle also knows that the stability in our country has been We rely on the support of the Central Plains, but the Central Plains only regards our northwest as a barrier to separate the Turks. If the Central Plains turns against us one day, we must have a war. Now the Turkic invaders must also covet the Central Plains. My heart, I intend for Tianxing to marry a Turkic princess to seek peace for a few years, but I wonder what my uncle wants?"

"This child has also reached the age of getting married," the half-immortal said, "It's just that Turks are moody and have no integrity at all. I'm afraid they won't be able to settle down even after getting married."

"What does Uncle Yi mean?"

The half-immortal looked at Tian Xing thoughtfully, "I can't tell it yet. This son's destiny is very unclear. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with the marriage. You can go and propose marriage. But seeing that the marriage will not last long, there may be some dangers." misfortune"

“Let’s resolve the immediate crisis first and then talk!”

The northwest region is special. The Turks have been coveting the Central Plains for a long time, but there is some trouble in the northwest. If you want to conquer the Central Plains, you must first take over the northwest. Therefore, there have been no Turkic actions in these years. However, the Central Plains soldiers have sufficient food and rich products. Maybe there will be one The Rihui had a plan to take over the Northwest and occupy the Turks. Now that the Turks are making trouble first, we can only make peace with the Turks first, in order to stabilize
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!" The half-immortal suddenly remembered something, "I am thinking of someone, but the time is not yet ripe. You must maintain peace for more than ten years, and there will definitely be a turn for the better in the future."

"May I ask who my uncle is referring to?"

"You will know when the time comes, but you don't know why? In the midst of good fortune, the evil side is revealed, and you will escape death..."
