Chapter Twelve Temple Incense
The weather was clear the next day, and Qin Mu was called up by Xiao Cui early in the morning. Today, Qin Mu was going to accompany Mu Yunxi to Yunshan Temple on the mountain to burn incense and fulfill his wish.
Qin Mu, who was used to going to bed late and getting up late, got up reluctantly after Xiao Cui pulled and pushed him down. Of course, he should take advantage. Qin Mu was not vague at all, making Xiao Cui blush and said "spiritual compensation".
Since last time she accompanied the eldest lady to the temple to burn incense, Xiao Cui hasn't gone out for several months. I'm so happy to be able to come out this time, and I don't care about being taken advantage of by her son-in-law, and quickly serve Qin Mu to wash it.
This Yunshan Temple on the suburbs is very famous in Kurihara County. People in Kurihara City like to come to Yunshan Temple for anything. It is said that it is very effective. The temple has a long history and has many unique landscapes. Not only does it attract scholars, but the female family of wealthy families are also willing to take advantage of the opportunity to burn incense to relax.
Accompanying Mu Yunxi, he first lit incense in the hall. This hall worships the omnipotent god "Guanyin Bodhisattva" who "rescue the suffering and helps the suffering and responds to all requests."
"Guanyin Bodhisattva" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Great Qin Kingdom. Whether it is ordinary people or nobles, they usually worship a Guanyin statue at home, so that the Bodhisattva can bless the whole family with all their best.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, also known as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guangshiyin Bodhisattva, etc., is a literal Bodhisattva who "observes the voices of (the people of the world)" and is one of the four great Bodhisattvas.
She looks dignified and kind, often holds a pure bottle of willows in her hand, has infinite wisdom and supernatural powers, is merciful and merciful, and saves all the sufferings of the world. When people encounter disasters, they just recite their name and go to save them, so they are called Guanyin.
In Buddhism, she is the upper Bodhisattva under the seat of Amitabha Buddha, the leader of the Western Paradise. Together with the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, she is the servant Bodhisattva beside Amitabha Buddha, and is also called the "Three Saints of the West".
The Lotus Sutra: The Universal Door of Guanyin says that she can transform into thirty-three kinds of body appearances, and according to the voice of sentient beings who are called "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva", seeking sounds to save suffering, can eliminate all kinds of distress and troubles of sentient beings, and can satisfy prayers for longevity, children, money, etc., and will respond to any request.
There are many legends about Guanyin Bodhisattva, which are circulated in the Great Qin Kingdom. In the distant ancient times, there was a small country called Chu Kingdom. The king had a daughter named Miaoshan. He had been a child and believed in Buddhism since he was a child and was determined to cut his hair into a nun.
The father opposed it and ordered her to drink the sword and commit suicide. Unexpectedly, the sword itself was broken into a thousand qualities, so the father suffocated her to death and let her soul go to hell.
But the King of Hell resurrected her from a lotus in a pond in Chu. From then on, she saved all living beings and did good deeds in the world. People called her the reincarnation of Guanyin.
"Master, this five taels of silver is for the indulgence and oil money for the Guiji Temple. You must accept it. By the way, you don't have to thank you anymore. This is what we should do."
After worshiping the Buddha, Qin Mu took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the monks and said, "The Mu family gave Qin Mu a hundred taels of incense and oil money, but Qin Mu thought about it and said that these monks had nothing to spend except for eating, and it was a waste of so much money to them."
Another thing is that the old saying goes, "Men will become bad when they have money, and women will become rich when they have bad things." For the sake of these monks, Qin Mu felt that he was still tired and helped them spend the remaining money. Who made him a great person?
"Thank you, donor!"
The monk Zhike said with some depression, the Mu family is a big family in Ribara County. Whenever the Mu family came to burn incense, they did not donate hundreds of taels of silver. This son-in-law of the Mu family was too stingy, only five taels of silver, and he kept saying he didn't thank him. In fact, he was not afraid of losing his identity as a son-in-law of the Mu family.
"Xiao Cui, give this master five hundred taels of spice oil money."
Mu Yunxi said to his maid Xiao Cui, Mu Yunxi knew that although his fiancé had been with the Mu family for five years and the Mu family had not given him any money, he could not just give him five taels of silver. This was a great disrespect to the Bodhisattva.
"Yes, Miss." Xiao Cui responded, took out a few silver notes and handed them to a monk in the hall.
"Five hundred taels!"
Qin Mu was a little stunned. He was a damn prodigal girl. Five hundred taels were gone like this. The money was spent too quickly. She had already given five taels, but she actually returned it. Even if you have money, you can't be so willful. Don't you know that money is difficult to make?
Qin Mu's heart is bleeding. Why do you say that Mu Yunxi is her own woman? Isn't her money just her own money?
It seems that when she moved out of Mu's house in the future, she would never be given the financial work to her, otherwise no matter how much money she had, she would be defeated by this spoiled woman.
"Thank you, female donor."
The monk Zhike happily took the silver notes, but the female donor was more generous. This male donor is not good-for-nothing. He really can't deserve this beautiful female donor. Zhike monk thought to himself.
If Qin Mu knew what this monk was thinking, he would definitely take back all the silver.
After the incense, the three of them were wandering around the temple. After all, it was rare to come out once, so I went back now, wouldn’t it be boring?
There are many people in front of Yunshan Temple, but now it is very quiet behind. The entire temple covers a very bright area and there are several beautiful scenery. Mu Yunxi and Xiao Cui are quite interested in chatting and watching while watching. Qin Mu is a little listless and looks like he hasn't had a good sleep.
First, I went to the release pond to release animals and made a wish, then walked past the release pond and slowly walked towards the mountain behind the temple.
The entire temple, halls, corridors, pavilions, towers, beautiful mountains and rivers, roads, flowers and plants everywhere, and lush trees. Walking through it, people are all open-minded.
I heard Mu Yunxi say that there are nearly a thousand monks in this temple, and they have been prosperous for hundreds of years. Poets, poets, celebrities and scholars have left countless footprints, as well as countless precious poems, paintings and ink treasures. Even today's literati and scholars often hold poetry meetings here. Therefore, whenever the big test comes, the incense in this treasury will be extremely prosperous, and students will come here to worship Buddha before the exam.
The three of them walked on the small path in the mountains, stood at a high place and looked down. The layout of the mountain gate hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Great Hall, the Wanfo Pavilion, the East-West and East-West Hall, the building, and the temple clearly saw the layout.
Walking up to a pavilion, Qin Mu stood by and admired the scriptures carved in the pavilion. Fortunately, Qin Mu discovered that the text of the Great Qin Dynasty was basically the same as the traditional Chinese characters in the previous life. For Qin Mu, who graduated from the Chinese department, these things would not be difficult for him. In this way, Qin Mu would not have to be illiterate in this world.
"Miss, I've found out a long time ago. It is said that in this temple, this spring is the most magical one. It does not freeze in winter, and the water is steaming, but it is very cool in summer. If you drink a few sips, it is said that those who drink this water can gain wisdom and all the troubles of the world will disappear. Anyone who has come to this temple will have to drink a sip, so let's drink some too."
Xiao Cui took a moment of rest, then took Miss Mu's hand to a spring on the side of the pavilion.
The spring water here is indeed clear. Mu Yunxi washed her hands, picked up the water, took a sip, and suddenly felt refreshed and sweet in her heart.
"Brother Qin, your spring water is really good. Come and take a sip." Mu Yunxi shouted to Qin Mu. Now Mu Yunxi's heart has completely accepted Qin Mu.
"Okay, I'll drink it too to see if it can make people smarter and refresh themselves. It would be even better if all the troubles in the world were eliminated."
Qin Mu said with a smile, and it was fun to squeeze in the side of the spring water, drinking the spring water and taking an outing with the beauties.
"Son-in-law, don't let all the worries of the world be eliminated. In that case, you will become a monk, haha." Xiao Cui said with a smile.
"Monkey Cheng, I can marry you too." Qin Mu said with a smile.
"Son-in-law, you are talking nonsense, how can a monk get married and have children? Then he will become a monk Hua?" Xiao Cui said.
"Who made you so beautiful? No matter how high my Buddhism is, I can't resist the temptation of two such beautiful women." Qin Mu said to the two beauties with his eyes shining.
"Brother Qin, you are so annoying. This is a Buddhist pure land. How can you make such a joke?" Mu Yunxi said with a blank look at Qin Mu.
...
We walked until almost noon, and the three of us returned to the room in the backyard of the temple and had a delicious vegetarian meal.
"Brother Qin, I'm tired. I want to take a break first. Should I go back later?" Mu Yunxi said to Qin Mu with a tired look on his face.
A lady like Mu Yunxi who doesn’t leave the door and doesn’t get to go out of the two doors will be so tired that she will be unable to walk a little more. This is also the reason why ancient women were weak and sickly.
"Then you have a good rest, and Xiao Cui and I will go out for a walk again." Qin Mu said.
"Son-in-law, I'm very tired too, I need to rest too." Xiao Cui fell on the bed like Miss Mu and said lazily.
"I'm very tired too, why don't we rest together." Qin Mu said maliciously, his eyes shining on the two beauties.
"No, Brother Qin is a temple, you're about to go out." Mu Yunxi said with a blushing face. Her fiancé is so thick-skinned.
