Early in the morning on August 14th, Qiu Yuyu came to Lin Fufu's house in a carriage to pick her up.
Lin Fufu also complied with her kindness, got into her carriage and went to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense together.
Daxiangguo Temple is located at the foot of a beautiful mountain in the outskirts of the capital.
It is rumored that after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the founding emperor planned to set aside a place in a quiet part of the imperial city for the abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple, hoping that he could move the Daxiangguo Temple to this place, but the Daxiangguo Temple was rejected by the then Daxiangguo Temple. The host declined.
The reason for the head of the Daxiangguo Temple is that only in that location can the Daxiangguo Temple protect the common people in the world, and it cannot be moved to another place.
The founding emperor did not dare to persuade him anymore, after all, he was thinking of the common people in the world.
But since then Daxiangguo Temple has become the most famous and important temple in Wei Dynasty.
It can be said to be the national temple of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, the abbot and those eminent monks in this temple are very respected by people from all walks of life in the Wei Dynasty.
Not only the aristocrats in the capital would go to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense and pray for everything, but ordinary common people would go to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense every 15th day of the Lunar New Year, in order to pray for the Bodhisattva to bless their hearts and make their wishes come true.
This is also the first time for Lin Fufu to come to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense, and he is not familiar with Daxiangguo Temple, which is one of the reasons why she is willing to come here with Qiu Yuyu.
Daxiangguo Temple really deserves to be a national temple. Not to mention the prosperity of incense, you will know it when you look at the crowded people on the stone steps.
Lin Fufu looked at the full parked carriages at the foot of the mountain, and knew that many noble families came today.
Basically, the incense burning process went smoothly, but in the middle of the process, she was accused by her maid for accidentally stepping on a lady's skirt, but that lady's family background was obviously not as good as Qiu Yuyu's. The maid apologized, and then left like a ghost.
Qiu Yuyu has a fiery personality, and was held back by Lin Fufu when she was about to go up to make a theory.
After burning incense, Lin Fufu was taken by Qiu Yuyu to the back room of the Buddhist monastery where noble pilgrims rest.
Because Qiu Yuyu met a close friend in her boudoir who was also resting here, after talking to Lin Fufu, she went to talk to her close friend in her boudoir.
Lin Fufu didn't feel tired at all. On the way here to rest, he heard some young ladies jokingly saying that there was a patch of early chrysanthemums blooming just right in the back garden of the monastery. She was bored anyway, and she planned to go to enjoy the chrysanthemums.
After leaving the back door of the Buddhist monastery, I saw a huge backyard. The strength of this backyard is a towering mountain. The mountain is full of green bamboos and coniferous pines, as well as some low shrubs and various Weeds, chrysanthemums and wormwood…
As for the backyard, it is not endless, with winding paths leading to secluded places, colorful butterflies flying around, and birds chirping, it is a very good place to go.
Lin Fufu raised the corners of his lips unconsciously.
And she is not the only one who is fascinated by this beautiful scenery. Girls and wives in twos and threes are enjoying the scenery together, and it can be seen that they are very happy.
Lin Fufu's smile deepened, and he took a winding path with few people and left in a hurry.
She loves to be quiet, so she deliberately avoided the crowd, and unknowingly walked into a more secluded rockery cave.
It's just that as she walked further in, Lin Fufu suddenly realized that something was wrong, and a gloomy aura spread over her face. Even though she was wearing quite a lot of clothes, an inexplicable chill became stronger and stronger.
Subconsciously, she wanted to turn her head back.
"Little benefactor, since you are destined to enter this cave, let's come and see you." An old man's voice with a Sanskrit voice came from his old age.
As soon as Lin Fufu heard this voice, he felt as if his heart had been hit by a drumstick, and his mind was also pale.
It's not because of anything else, it's because the old monk's inner strength is too strong.
"Come on, little benefactor, the old monk is finally waiting for you." The old monk continued when Lin Fufu hesitated.
Lin Fufu regained consciousness, she confirmed that the old monk was a peerless master, but his tone was gentle and benevolent, without any trace of malice.
"Master, wait a moment, the gospel will come soon." Lin Fufu calmed down and went forward bravely.
However, when she saw the scene in front of her, she took a step back in fright.
In front of him was a huge iron cage, and inside the iron cage was a huge cube of ice. An old monk with a beard hanging down and messy hair that could not be combed clearly was sitting cross-legged in front of the ice...
How is this going
Daxiangguo Temple is a national temple. Aren't the monks in this temple all compassionate
How can the monk be imprisoned here
"Little benefactor, don't be afraid, and don't be surprised. I asked Master Abbot to imprison me here." The old monk raised his head and looked at Lin Fufu with kind eyes.
"Why did the master ask for this?" Lin Fufu couldn't help being curious.
"Amitabha!" The old monk clasped his hands together and sang the Buddha's name to Lin Fufu, and then introduced himself: "Old monk Fayuan, the little benefactor's mother, Princess Jiale, is a disciple of the old monk's secular family."
This Dharma source is my mother's Buddhist disciple
No, this old monk has never seen her before, so how did he know that she is Jia Le's daughter before meeting her
"No...Master, how come you know who I am before you see me?" Lin Fufu frowned slightly, not hiding her surprise.
The old monk Fayuan sang the Buddha's name again, and this time his voice was a little unfathomable, "The heavenly secret must not be revealed, I just know that the little benefactor is a descendant of Princess Jiale."
Lin Fufu knew that this meant that there was nothing to ask, so he changed the subject, "Master, why do you want to see me?"
Seeing that Lin Fufu didn't ask nonsense, Master Fayuan nodded with a smile, clasped his hands together and said, "Because I promised your mother, if you can find me one day, I will do you a favor."
"Do me a favor?" Lin Fufu asked in surprise.
"Yes, but before that, I want to tell you something about the past." The old monk Fayuan looked at Lin Fufu with a smile.
It turned out that after the Princess Jiale incident happened, the old monk Fayuan rushed from the Daxiangguo Temple to the palace to persuade the late emperor to spare Jiale's life because he was worried that Jiale would be killed.
But at that time, the first emperor was angry, not only did not listen to the persuasion of the old monk Fayuan, but also ordered the old monk Fayuan to be taken down.
When the old monk Fayuan avoided it, he was poisoned by the leader of the dark guards at that time. Because the old monk Fayuan practiced the Nine Yang God Palm, he did not detoxify in time after being poisoned, and the old monk Fayuan has been poisoned by fire since then.
This fire poison has been with the old monk Fayuan for a lifetime.
"You...Actually, you shouldn't have gone to the royal family to find the late emperor." After hearing this, Lin Fufu interrupted the old monk Fayuan.
Although he was grateful to the old monk Fayuan for his love for his mother, but after all, he couldn't persuade the late emperor, and he was implicated for no reason, and this implicated him for the rest of his life.
"I had to go at that time. Although your mother is indeed a black phoenix, there is a greater vitality hidden in her fate, and that is you!" The old monk Fayuan suddenly waved his hand at Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu was taken aback.
At that time, she was not there yet, and her mother was still with her father. What does the old monk Fayuan mean
"Master, what's going on here?" Lin Fufu felt that his brain was not enough.
"Amitabha!" The old monk Fayuan looked at Lin Fufu gently, "Actually, at that time, the brother abbot had figured it out. Even if Jiale committed a heinous crime, he couldn't die! Besides, Jiale still had compassion in her heart. did not commit an unforgivable mistake..."
Old monk Fayuan's cultivation of Buddhism is not inferior to that of the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple. What he can see through, but the world may not be able to see through, even the late emperor can't see through, so he took the risk to go to the palace of the Great Wei Dynasty to find the late emperor. Tell the first emperor the result of the abbot's calculation.
The first emperor was so angry at that time that he didn't believe his words at all. On the contrary, because he was Jia Le's master, even he, an outsider, was blamed.
After the old monk Fayuan was poisoned, the abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple came in time, told the first emperor about his calculation results again, and then brought the old monk Fayuan back to the Daxiangguo Temple.
"That is to say, the first emperor actually didn't want to let my mother go, it was because of Master Abbot and Master Fayuan... the first emperor finally planned to let my mother go?" Lin Fufu murmured.
She couldn't believe it, but she was more sad for her mother. She didn't expect that the truth about the late emperor's life was that the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple calculated her fate...
"It's true that your mother lived more than ten years because of you, and your siblings came into this world because of you. The little benefactor is born with kindness... and therefore, the little benefactor, you have a great responsibility!" Old monk Fayuan He looked at Lin Fufu seriously and said.
Lin Fufu was stunned, and asked after a long time, "I'm just the daughter of a waste princess, what can I do? I just try my best to protect the safety of my family and seek justice for my mother."
"Little benefactor, don't underestimate yourself. You can be a phoenix and nirvana here. Don't you see clearly that this is the meaning of God and the meaning of Buddha?" Old monk Fayuan asked with a smile.
Lin Fufu looked at him blankly, then smiled wryly, "Gospel really doesn't know what to do..."
"The one who should come will always come. The little benefactor doesn't need to think too much, but the little benefactor is coming soon." The old monk Fayuan stretched out his hand and beckoned to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu nodded and moved closer to the iron cage.
She saw old monk Fayuan stood up with difficulty, bent over Lin Fufu and proclaimed the Buddha's name.
Then, without waiting for Lin Fufu's reaction, and Lin Fufu didn't know how he made the move, she sat cross-legged in an instant, and the old monk Fayuan hit all the key points on her body.
Lin Fufu's mind was blank, but he felt a warm feeling in his body, and then there seemed to be a power recovering in his body, especially the dantian was getting hotter and hotter.
Feeling that a strange change had taken place in his body, Lin Fufu felt a little panicked.
"The altar needs to be cleared." The old monk Fayuan's voice sounded in time. Lin Fufu knew that this might be an important moment, so he didn't dare to think too much, and kept the altar clear.
"alright."
After a long time, Lin Fufu heard old monk Fayuan sigh softly, and she opened her eyes in doubt.
