Marry instead, favor the first princess

Chapter 408 In the previous life, I lost my hair because of you 26
"Amitabha, few people come to Jialan Temple. It is also a kind of fate that the two benefactors can pass here..."

The abbot stopped in front of Mo Shangchen and Mingyue, then raised his hand and said this.

Mo Shangchen didn't say a word, but just looked around carefully, somewhat on guard... He stretched out his hand to hold Mingyue tightly, and suddenly realized that her thoughts were also aimless.

"Girl...are you too tired?"

She lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, only for Mingyue to shake her head lightly.

After entering here, her mood calmed down strangely, as if this place was her destiny... and her eyes, which were originally invisible, seemed to faintly see through everything at this moment.

"Abbot, my wife is pregnant and tired from the journey, can I take a rest in a Zen room..."

After feeling no more malice, Mo Shangchen expressed his thoughts lightly.

The abbot smiled slightly, making his old face more loving: "Since that's the case, prepare two guest rooms for the two benefactors..."

Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed.

"Abbot, one room is enough..."

Mo Shangchen frowned slightly, and there was some light flowing back and forth in his eyes... The abbot smiled, and explained in a good-tempered manner: "Amitabha, the pure land of Buddhism, although the two benefactors are husband and wife, they must be separated. In order to disturb Qingxiu... the two meditation rooms are naturally connected, so the benefactor does not need to worry too much..."

In this way, although it is reasonable, there is something wrong after all.

On the other hand, Mo Shangchen was worried about Mingyue's body, maybe she would have a nightmare in the middle of the night... Just as he was about to say something, he pulled a little with both hands, looked sideways at Mingyue and shook his head slightly.

"In this way, there will be Master Lao..."

Mingyue nodded slightly, and replied politely and thoughtfully.

Since the monk can see some reasons, then the abbot must know something... Tonight may be the time to reveal the secret, so she can't refuse, even if she has no chance of winning in her heart.

"Amitabha, the Buddha crosses a predestined person..."

The abbot returned a salute to Mingyue, then turned around, walked to the place of talent, and struck the wooden fish... again and again, each time it seemed to hit the heart of a person, causing ripples.

People who are predestined for Buddha crossing...

Mingyue recited these words over and over again in her heart, and a gleam of clarity flashed in her eyes... Whether it is a blessing or a curse, everything is left to God to decide. She has experienced so much, she should have seen through it long ago.

What should come, cannot escape.

After arranging the room, the monk took Mingyue and Mo Shangchen to eat vegetarian food.

Because the two rooms are connected, Mo Shangchen felt a little relieved... In private, he told Mingyue time and time again that if there was anything to do at night, he would come to her.

Mingyue smiled lightly and said nothing, but let out a barely audible sigh.

Mo Shangchen is so caring to her, she should be happy and happy, but because of that dream, her mind is disturbed... If the woman in white exists, no matter how careful she is, she will face everything eventually.

After dinner, Mo Shangchen supported Mingyue for a walk in the courtyard.

This is an extremely quiet backyard, without the severe cold of the end of winter, and the air is full of comfort.

On the opposite side of their room is a place similar to a Buddhist scriptures pavilion. After asking the monks to go in, the two walked closer...there were layers of bookshelves facing each other, and the monks lit candles one by one in front of them. light up.

"Mo Shangchen, what's in here..."

Mingyue couldn't see it, so she had to ask in a low voice.

"Just some scriptures..."

Mo Shangchen replied lightly. After seeing a trace of disappointment flashing across Mingyue's face, he couldn't help but took another step forward...Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a spot where there was a mural hanging on it, and a line of small characters was written below it. .

On the scroll, there is a painting of a delicate-looking woman. Perhaps it is a long time ago, and layers of yellow edges have appeared... If you don't look carefully, you can't see it clearly at all, as if you don't want to be seen. The most inconspicuous corner.

"How can there be a portrait of a woman in a Buddhist land..."

Mo Shangchen murmured something, causing the monks to come quickly... At the same time, Mingyue tugged on Mo Shangchen's sleeve, asking curiously in confusion: "What portrait? What woman... "

"This portrait has been in the Garan Temple from the very beginning... Legend has it that she is a woman loved by the person who built the Garan Temple..."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the monk slowly revealed the reason.

"A monk can also love..."

Mingyue exclaimed, obviously a little unbelievable.

The monk, however, smiled compassionately, as if wishing the pair of Bi people in front of him a blessing... I saw him caressing the scroll carefully, then stepped aside before continuing: "At first, the man didn't become a monk. ..."

"Oh? Can you tell me this story..."

Mingyue suddenly became curious, and Mo Shangchen felt a little amused.

The monk didn't hide anything, and while he was sorting out, he told the story... In fact, the story was so plain and vulgar that even Mingyue had read it in novels.

The man and the woman are childhood sweethearts, and both parties have also made a marriage. Unexpectedly, the man's family gradually declined, and the woman's father began to regret the marriage... He bribed the county magistrate, charged the man with a crime and sent him to prison, and then forced his daughter Marrying into a wealthy family makes the woman depressed and ill.

The day before the marriage, the man tried his best to escape from the prison and eloped to this mountain with the woman.

In the end, let the family find out.

Under the beating of mandarin ducks, the woman forced her to die, and the father only thought that the daughter had lost his mind for a while and insisted on sending the man to prison... In this way, the woman committed suicide and died.

The father lost his beloved daughter, but it was too late to repent. He only hated himself for being too stubborn, so that the white-haired man sent the black-haired man... The daughter begged to let the man go before she died, so she was unable to argue with the man anymore , and even felt that he owed this pair of children a relationship.

After losing his woman, the man was in so much pain that he wanted to die, but he also remembered that the woman liked to worship Buddha... Therefore, he spent his whole life building such a Jialan Temple, and he became a monk himself, chanting sutras for the woman every night Chanting Buddha.

The portrait of the woman has been hung here in the backyard ever since.

Handed down year after year, until now.

When listening to the monk telling this story, Mingyue was in a trance for a moment. After all, it was just a bloody story in the book... At this moment, it actually existed.

After the monk finished speaking, he turned and left here, as if it was time for the temple to work and rest.

Before the end of the day, he handed over the key to the Sutra Pavilion to Mo Shangchen, and after explaining some things that needed to be done, he turned and left this place in a hurry.

Maybe it's because there are very few people from the Garan Temple, or maybe it's because they are not ordinary people. Their looks alone are rare in the world... All in all, such a precious place is so easily handed over to them.

"Galan Temple, it's so quiet..."

After watching the monk leave, Mingyue folded her arms and said something.

Mo Shangchen nodded acquiescingly, stretched out his hand to embrace her, and then continued to look around... Although Mingyue couldn't see it, she was faintly heading towards the painting, as if she was thinking about something .

After a long time, he tilted his head and asked curiously: "What should be written on the painting..."

Hearing this, Mo Shangchen had a slight reaction for a moment, and then he quickly reacted... and took Mingyue to take a step forward until he could clearly see the folds on it: "There are a few lines of words on it, the girl is really clever……"

Apart from pampering and caring, Mo Shangchen seldom praises someone.

As a result, Mingyue felt a little embarrassed... As if deliberately changing the subject, she blinked her hazy eyes and said, "What's written on it? Can you read it to me..."

Mo Shangchen quickly agreed, and his voice remained pampering... Then he glanced at Mingyue beside him, she was so close and so attractive, he couldn't help but tilt his head and kiss her lightly. hair strands.

Mingyue could still feel such a subtle movement.

His figure froze slightly, with a little discomfort, after all, he didn't dodge his touch in a hurry like at the beginning... Fortunately, Mo Shangchen cared about her thoughts, and quickly left her hair, just His hands were still on her body.
