It was early summer, and the grass was growing and orioles were flying. King Wuyou wanted to send Ying'er to Mount Wutai, and he also wanted to go to his own territories: Lincheng and Hecheng to sit in command, so he said goodbye to King Qi and King Ping and his wife. The group of people came towards the direction of Chen Kingdom.
Along the way, King Wuyou was riding on his horse, feeling a little listless. Every time he arrived at a city, he and Ying'er would walk around, taste the delicious food, and buy some interesting things for Ying'er. After entering Chen Kingdom, the group The people walked quickly and headed straight for Mount Wutai. Several large vehicles along the way also attracted the attention of some strongmen, but they were all attacked and killed before the strongmen could get close. Their trip made the place calm a lot. .
After arriving at Chenguo Xincheng, we walked less than a day and arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai.
Mount Wutai is located in the Taihang Mountains. It is a famous Buddhist mountain. It is said that it was the place where Manjushri Bodhisattva performed. The Buddhist teachings in Mount Wutai began in the Eastern Han Dynasty and flourished in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Large-scale construction was carried out in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. There are five peaks in Mount Wutai. , the Sui Dynasty imperial decree built a main temple on each of the five peaks: Dongtai Wanghai Temple; Nantai Puji Temple; Xitai Falei Temple; Beitai Lingying Temple; Zhongtai Yanjiao Temple. There are more than 3,000 monks and nuns on the mountain. Most of them are monks and nuns living in monasteries who observe the precepts and practice, and there are also monks who travel around the world.
Tanqing Nunnery is located at the northern foot of Mount Wutai, a place outside Taipei. Tanqing Nunnery is built on a mountain surrounded by beautiful mountains. The mountain is not high and is shaded by green pines and cypresses. Where Mount Wutai is located, the climate is cold and cool, and there are snow lines on the mountains. There is always snow on the snow line that never melts. There is a pool of water in Tanqing Temple that is always clear to the bottom. Regardless of drought or flood, cold or heat, the water in the pool does not increase or decrease over the years.
The presiding master of Tanqing Temple is also a leader in Chinese Buddhism. He is the leader in the scriptures, teachings, martial arts and mental methods. Many nearby believers come to Mount Wutai to worship at Tanqing Temple, so this is Although the nunnery is in a remote location, it is still popular. **Master Tai also has good medical skills. In the villages and towns in front of and behind the mountains, people who are sick often come to the nunnery to seek medicine. **Master Tai is among the people. Just like the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
King Wuyou and his entourage dressed up as businessmen and came in extremely secretive ways. When they arrived in the Chen Kingdom, they went on their way separately. Ying'er and the other girls were sitting in the car. No one knew that they were accompanied by female relatives. When they arrived at Mount Wutai, Gu Yuetian and the others were already there. Send the things Ying'er needs to a village under Huanxiu Mountain. Someone has already bought a house in the village, and an old couple moved in a few days ago. There are dozens of households in the village, and the folk customs are quite good. simple.
King Wuyou and Ying'er arrived. It was already afternoon. They parked their carriages and horses in the village and walked lightly towards the mountain. Although Ying'er is delicate, she travels with King Wuyou all the year round, and also practices some boxing with the sisters. , his physique is naturally much better. Following the crowd, he actually walked up the mountain.
Looking at Tanqing Temple in front of him, King Wuyou looked at Ye Doufeng at the northern foot of Wutai Mountain in front of him. This mountain with a height of 1,000 feet, like a giant, blocks the front of Huanxiu Mountain. With the high mountains looking down, the tranquility of Huanxiu Mountain is even more apparent. Think about it. Thinking that Ying'er was going to live a life here with green lanterns and ancient Buddhas, King Wuyou felt sad in his heart. King Wuyou pulled Ying'er and hugged her tightly. She and everyone turned around one after another. .
At this time, the door of Tanqing Nunnery opened, and a little nun came out, walked to everyone, looked at them one by one, and then said to Ying'er: "Senior sister, your name is Xue Ying, right?!"
When Ying'er was asked, she quickly returned the gift and replied: "I am Xue Ying. I wonder how the young master knows me?"
The little nun was extremely handsome and looked smart. She smiled and said: "Senior sister, the master said that you are coming, so he asked me to come out to greet you. I am Qingwu. Senior sister, come with me, fellow donors.
Please come in." After saying that, he led the way. King Wuyou accompanied Ying'er and led the girls into Tanqing Nunnery. He followed the young master Qingwu to the main hall. Lu Zheng and Gu Yuetian stayed outside to watch.
The surrounding scenery.
When you walked into the main hall, you looked up and saw the worshiped Manjushri Bodhisattva. In front of the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, there was a kind-hearted master standing there, and there were more than a dozen nuns of different ages on both sides.
As soon as King Wuyou and Ying'er entered the hall, they quickly saluted the master. King Wuyou asked: "Amitabha, please pay homage to the master. We are from Qi State and came here specifically to practice with the master. I have Zen Master Jingming here.
I would like to introduce the certificate of recommendation to the Master." After saying this, he handed it over, and a young nun took it and handed it to the Master.
The master nodded and said with a smile: "I already know this. This is Miss Ying'er, and I am destined to be you. Come, come to me."
When Ying'er heard about it, she naturally knew that the person in front of her was Master Jinghui. She hurriedly walked to Master Jinghui. Master took Ying'er's hand, looked at it, nodded and said, "Heart of jade, ice, wisdom and wisdom.
As expected, I am destined to be the Buddha."
After that, he looked at King Wuyou and said, "I will take you to worship the Bodhisattva first, and then you can follow me to sit in the back hall!"
Under the guidance of Master Jinghui, everyone bowed down one after another. Then Master Jinghui led everyone to the back hall. King Wuyou followed him to the back hall. Master Jinghui and King Wuyou met again and greeted him.
King Ashoka sat in the guest seat, and he also sat in the main seat to accompany him.
Master Jinghui looked at King Wuyou and said: "Prince Wuyou, I have often heard from my senior brother that he is really extraordinary. The fact that the prince came to my Tanqing nunnery today also has a long history. The prince is willing to send the princess to my place.
The poor nun is also very honored."
King Wuyou quickly clasped his hands and replied: "Master, you are too polite. My wife has a predestined relationship with my Buddha and can come to the throne of affairs to receive teachings. Please take care of me!"
Ying'er stood next to King Wuyou. After listening to King Wuyou, she called out: "Master."
Master Jinghui looked at Ying'er, and she fell in love with her as soon as she entered the hall. When Ying'er called her master, she even smiled happily and said: "Don't rush to call me now, I will give you some more
Mount the top and receive the ordination. Come on, come over to my side!"
Master Jinghui asked Ying'er to stand next to her, then looked at her, Meimei and Xunuo, and then said to King Wuyou: "Your Majesty, the princess came to me to practice. I have prepared a place for her. There are these three
It is enough for the female benefactor to accompany me. I also have vegetarian vegetables in my nunnery, which are not as good as your palace. People who practice must eat vegetarian food, and I don’t want you to do anything that violates the rules and regulations in the nunnery!"
King Wuyou looked at **, and ** quickly put his hands together and saluted Master Jinghui, and promised: "Master, please don't worry, we will definitely abide by the precepts in the nunnery!"
Several people said a few more words in the room. Although King Wuyou was reluctant to leave, he quickly stood up and said goodbye to Master Tai when he saw the sunset. Ying'er stood beside Master Tai, with tears already filling her eyes. King Wuyou
Not daring to stop any longer, he stepped out of the back hall and left without looking back.
Ying'er followed Master to the door. It wasn't until the figure of King Wuyou turned around the hall and was out of sight that tears burst out of her eyes. Master Jinghui held Ying'er in her arms with pity and patted her gently.
Seeing Ying'er crying, she, ** and Meili felt extremely sad. They quickly turned around and looked around. However, Xu Nuo ignored her and lay on Ying'er's shoulder, crying even more sadly. Ying'er was stunned by the crying.
He stopped crying, turned around to look at Xunuo, and asked softly: "Xunuo, what's wrong with you?!"
Xu Nuo sobbed and said: "The prince doesn't want us anymore. I saw the princess was sad, so I started crying too!"
What Ying'er told her was that she broke down in tears and laughed, saying: "Brother Si doesn't want us. He has his own big things to do. We are here to practice with Master, and we also pray for brother Si and all the people in the world."
Seeing Ying'er say this, Xu Nuo wiped her tears, made a face, and said, "The princess is no longer sad, so I won't cry anymore!"
** knew that Xu Nuo was deliberately distracting Yinger. Seeing her making such a fuss at this time, Yinger was no longer sad and crying. Instead, she felt that Xu Nuo was a clever and cute girl. ** whispered to Xu Nuo: "Xu Nuo, from now on
The master will give the princess a dharma title, so you must not reveal the identity of the princess in front of outsiders!"
Xu Nuo quickly nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Master Jinghui looked at the pretty girls in front of her and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Then she said to Ying'er, "Let's go. I'll take you to your residence first and you can clean up after yourselves. Take a bath and meditate tomorrow.
In the future, I will rub your forehead and receive precepts. I will give you a Dharma title, and you can practice together with everyone."
Xu Nuo was a little curious, so she asked as she walked: "Master Tai, when you talk about rubbing the head to receive the ordination, do you also have to shave off the princess's hair? Is this the same as you?!"
After hearing this, ** frowned, reached out and hit her, and said: "I see that you are so naughty, the most important thing is to be ordained. Let me shave you first!" Xu Nuo quickly covered his head with his hands, shook his head and said: "
I don’t want it, I don’t want that!”
Master Jinghui then smiled and said, "Your princess is my lay disciple. She practices Buddhism, has her head rubbed, and is ordained, but she does not need to be tonsured."
Xu Nuo then stuck out his tongue at **, made a face, and then snorted. ** was not easy to get angry in front of the master, and just stared at her fiercely.
Tanqing Nunnery has a main hall and an apse with two entrances; the main hall and the apse are flanked by side halls. The nuns in the nunnery all live in the side hall to the east of the apse, and the side hall to the west is a place for vegetarian food. Jinghui
Master Tai led Ying'er to the two rooms in the east side hall. The little nuns had already cleaned up the rooms. The little nun named Qingwu was standing in the room waiting.
Master Jinghui introduced Qingwu to Ying'er and others. Qingwu first greeted Ying'er again, and then said with a smile: "Master, I already know my senior sister. You asked me to greet her at the door. I will go out.
You’ll recognize it immediately!”
Master Jinghui said "oh". Seeing that Master seemed to be disbelieving, Qingwu ran forward, took Ying'er's hand and said, "Senior sister, please tell Master if I recognize you at a glance!
"
Ying'er nodded and said yes. Then she introduced **, Mingliang and Xunuo to the master and Qingwu. The three girls also saluted the master and said hello to the little master Qingwu. Qingwu looked at the beautiful adults in front of him.
My sister liked them so much that she walked around a few people, stroking their clothes with her hands, and murmured: "It's so beautiful, these sisters are really as beautiful as fairies."
Everyone chuckled at Qingwu's words.
Master Jinghui said to Yinger: "You will live here from now on. If there is something in the nunnery, Qingwu can do it." Then she said to Qingwu: "Qingwu, although you have been in the nunnery for a long time, you are still old.
She is still young, and your senior sister has long been associated with me, so you need to call her senior sister. You should take more care of the affairs in this nunnery, senior sister, do you understand?"
Qingwu put his hands together and said: "Master, disciple, I obey."
