The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 220 Lanchuan
Because of the trouble caused by Xie Zhifei in the morning, Yan Sanhe remained silent on the way to Shuiyue Temple.

When they arrived at the entrance of the nunnery, the little nun beside Jingchen was waiting eagerly. When someone came, the little nun clasped her hands together.

"The master of the nunnery is doing homework right now. He ordered me to wait here for two distinguished guests. Please come with me."

Yan Sanhe saw that although she looked mature, her stature had not grown yet, and her voice was childish, and asked: "What is your name and how old are you?"

Little nun: "My name is Lan Chuan, I am 13 years old."

Did you see through the world of mortals at the age of 13?

Yan Sanhe: "Why do you think of becoming a nun?"

Lan Chuan: "My parents didn't want me anymore and put me at the door of the nunnery. The owner of the nunnery looked pitiful and took me in as a nun."

Yan Sanhe: "How old were you then?"

Lan Chuan: "It was just a day or two after birth."

Yan Sanhe looked at her, "Is this Lanchuan your dharma name?"

Lan Chuan shook his head: "This is my lay name. The nunnery owner hasn't given me a Buddhist name yet. He said he would wait until I grow up."

Yan Sanhe carefully considered the meaning of Pin's words, "Are you planning to return to secular life when you grow up?"

"I do not know either."

Lan Chuan's eyes showed confusion: "Let's talk about the future later. Maybe I will become a real nun."

Yan Sanhe wanted to ask again, but suddenly he heard Li Buyan behind him whisper: "Miss, look!"

He didn't say where to look, but Yan Sanhe still saw the person at a glance.

Her gray hair was tied into a bun, she was wearing a large nun's robe, and she was fiddling with a long string of Buddhist beads in her hand. She looked old and lifeless.

It was the fourth wife of Ji Mansion who we had met once before.

The fourth wife lowered her head and saluted the two of them, then raised her head again, her eyes filled with tears.

Yan Sanhe nodded slightly and looked away. She only solved the inner demons of the dead, but she had to rely on herself to solve the inner demons of the living.

After walking for a while, Lan Chuan pointed with his little hand: "The master of the nunnery is inside, please treat me as a distinguished guest."

Yan Sanhe looked in the direction of her finger and saw a small courtyard. In front of the courtyard was a pomegranate tree with small fruits on it.

After entering the house, the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

In front of a huge Avalokitesvara statue, Master Hui Ru sat cross-legged on a futon and muttered something mindfully.

"Master of the nunnery, a distinguished guest has arrived."

Huiru got up from the futon and said, "Miss Yan, please come with me!"

Yan Sanhe glanced at Li Buyan, who said with a smile: "Master Tai, I will go to the front and back of the nunnery, do you have any objections?"

Hui Ru said: "Donor, please give me your permission."

……

The Buddhist hall was very quiet, and the air was filled with the smell of Buddhist incense. Yan Sanhe's hot heart suddenly sank.

Hui Ru made the tea and said, "Miss Yan, if you want to ask anything, just ask. I will never hide anything from you."

Yan Sanhe was not polite and went straight to the point, "How old is Jingchen this year?"

"45 this year, the same age as me."

The same age?

Yan Sanhe was surprised by two things.

The first thing is that Hui Ru's actual age is only 45 years old, but her face looks so old?The second thing...

"Jingchen left at the age of 45. Why is he so young? "

"The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, and he won't wait until the fifth watch."

Hui Ru sighed: "Miss Yan, this is fate."

Yan Sanhe: "Why did she pass away?"

"There's no reason. She figured it out for herself. Her life span is over in 45 years."

Yan Sanhe was surprised again, "She can tell fortunes?"

"will not!"

Hui Ru: "There are many people in the world who are afraid of death and desperately want to live a few more years, just by taking this medicine or that elixir. We monks have no fear of life or death, and we actually know how long we will live." Yan Sanhe: "When did she come to Shuiyue An?"

Hui Ru: “18 years ago.”

Yan Sanhe calculated in his mind, "She became a nun at the age of 27?"

Hui Ru: "Yes!"

Yan Sanhe: "What's the reason why she became a nun?"

Hui Ru flicked the beads a few times and said, "Miss Yan, why don't I tell you the first time I met her."

"Please say."

"Eighteen years ago, when our old nunnery master was still alive, I had only been here for three years. During the winter solstice of that year, we all gathered together to eat dumplings and prepare for evening classes. Suddenly, there was a knock on the nunnery door."

"is her?"

"Correct!"

"Wearing a nun's robe that I didn't know where to get, her hair had been shaved, she was kneeling in front of the nunnery, carrying a small bundle on her back, kowtowing, and begging the nunnery owner to take her in."

Yan Sanhe: "Then what?"

Hui Ru: "Then the nunnery master agreed."

Yan Sanhe: "Is it that simple?"

"In fact, whether a person really wants to become a monk can be seen from her face and eyes. What's more, she shaved off her hair and had no intention of leaving a way out for herself."

Hui Ru's expression gradually fell into memories.

"Our old nunnery master has been in Shuiyue nunnery for decades, and she has never seen any kind of people. Some people will kneel to death, but she will not accept them into the nunnery; some people do not need to kneel, she can just take them in with a glance. .

In terms of my ability to judge people, I only learned less than [-]% from our old nunnery master. "

After hearing this, Yan Sanhe felt that he had forced the fourth wife into Shuiyue Nunnery, which was a bit difficult.

wrong!

Yan Sanhe frowned suddenly: "You said that the old nunnery master can bring people in with just one glance. Does that mean she won't ask about that person's past?"

"Girl, have you ever heard this saying: Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."

"I heard."

"A nunnery gate separates the world from Buddhism."

Hui Ru smiled slowly at Yan Sanhe.

"After stepping through that nunnery gate, whether you are a high-ranking prince or general in the world, or a heinous thief and bandit, has nothing to do with Buddhism.

Regardless of the past or the past, you are just a disciple at the feet of Buddha. There is no turning back. There is no turning back. "

Yan Sanhe: "So, none of you know about Jingchen's past in this world?"

Hui Ru: "As long as she doesn't say anything, we won't ask."

Yan Sanhe: "Then did she say it?"

Hui Ru shook her head, "I have been with her for 18 years, and we even slept in the same room. Until she died, she didn't mention a word about her past."

Yan Sanhe: "Don't you even know what her last name was?"

"I'm not afraid of girls' jokes. When I came back from the tomb yesterday, I didn't sleep all night. I was thinking about Jingchen."

Hui Ru smiled bitterly: "After thinking about it for a long time, I only know that the year she came to our nunnery, she reported her age as 27 years old. Our nunnery owner asked her what her name was, and she said she was a lonely ghost in the world."

What are you really afraid of, what are you coming to.

What resolves thoughts and demons is the past, and what is resolved is the past. Even Huiru doesn’t know about Jingchen’s past...

Then you'll be in big trouble!

She must first find out who this Jingchen is?What was it called?What kind of family background do you have?What were your parents and childhood experiences like?

Yan Sanhe calmed down quickly, "Hui Ru, what did you feel when you first saw her?"

"First sight?"

"Yes, at first sight."

Hui Ru was silent for a moment and said calmly: "At first glance, I thought she was a very quiet woman."
