Three hundred and sixtieth chapters, to remember the cruel
A Taoist nun hurried in and bowed deeply to Mrs. Yangshan Houfu.
"I've met Mrs. Tai."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Yangshan Houfu asked with a smile.
"I'll trouble you, Mrs. Madam, to go over and take a look." The Taoist nun didn't say anything directly. She just smiled bitterly, as if she was helpless, and bowed deeply to Mrs. Yangshanhou.
Such courtesy and appearance cannot help but make people think more about it.
Madam Yangshan Houfu nodded and agreed, and then the Taoist nun said the same thing to another old lady, asking only that this old lady also come to watch the ceremony.
The old lady also came down. The Taoist nun told the time and place and left in a hurry. I heard that she would also invite other ladies from aristocratic families to watch the ceremony together.
After the Taoist nun left, another old lady frowned: "Xia Qing Guan... what happened?"
Madam Yangshan Houfu shook her head and was equally confused. Suddenly her mind changed and she asked: "Could it be because of the incident with the three girls from Xuanping Houfu?"
"This... is not possible. What kind of ritual does Master Qingxin need to watch for this matter?" The old lady shook her head, "It sounds more like something happened to Qingguan itself, and it has something to do with Master Qingxin. Madam, how many times have you seen it?
I have a wide knowledge, but I don’t know what this Taoist view of ritual is?”
These words stopped Madam Yangshan Houfu from asking, and after thinking for a long time, she said helplessly: "This matter... I have never heard of it. I have only heard that there are Buddhist disciples who are ordained and observe ceremonies. This Taoist family observes ceremonies."
I don’t know what it is? Taoists don’t need to lose their hair, they practice with their hair on.”
"What the madam said is absolutely true. Besides, at such an age as Master Qingxin, he can't officially become a monk now, right?" The old lady was equally puzzled.
With the knowledge of these two people, I am still confused now, so I finally thought it would be better to go and take a look.
There are many ladies who have this idea. Xia Qingguan has always been a favorite place for the ladies of aristocratic families. After all, it is full of female crowns. It is convenient for the ladies of the aristocratic families to travel. The scenery here is also good. From time to time, there will be ladies coming here.
Staying here for a while not only allows you to have peace of mind, but you can also enjoy the scenery.
The incense is also very popular today, and there are many female relatives from aristocratic families, and the crown ladies are going to invite them one by one. There is no gift that cannot be ignored.
It is said that the third girl in the Xuanping Hou Mansion has a bad fate. It was said by Master Qingxin. Now that they are attending the ceremony, everyone is full of curiosity and wants to see what happened.
When the time came, all the ladies from the invited aristocratic families gathered together in the main hall.
The main hall is solemn and solemn, with Taoist nuns in Qingguan on both sides. Qingxin Master, with disheveled hair, is kneeling on a futon in the middle, reciting sutras silently with his eyes closed.
A female crown led the ladies to sit down on both sides.
Even though everyone was full of doubts, they all felt at ease at this time, watching the development of the situation. The current situation revealed that there was indeed something wrong with Master Ning Xin, but they didn't know if it had anything to do with the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Everyone listened quietly to Master Qingxin reciting the scriptures.
Then a Taoist nun said loudly: "Please watch, Master."
Everyone looked up and saw a 50- to 60-year-old female crown coming out from behind with two Taoist nuns holding trays in their hands, their faces serious.
Walking up to Master Qingxin, the temple leader took a ruler from the tray in the hands of the Taoist nun beside him and tapped Master Qingxin three times on his left shoulder: "What are the five Taoist postures?"
The ruler struck hard, and Master Qingxin's left shoulder unconsciously slumped to the left, but in the end he gritted his teeth and held on, and then said: "The first is to abstain from killing, the second is to abstain from using tongue, the third is to abstain from drunkenness, the fourth is to steal, the five postures
Obscene evil."
"Are you wrong?" The visitor tapped Qingxin Zhenren's right shoulder three times with a ruler.
Master Qingxin shook his body and his face suddenly turned pale. These three blows were also not gentle.
After calming down, Master Qingxin's voice trembled slightly: "I am wrong."
"What mistake was made?"
"It's the fault of two people's tongues." Qingxin Zhenren lowered his head and fell to the ground.
"Why is that so?" the viewer continued to ask, his voice neither tight nor dry.
"Because I was deceived by others, I helped others to do evil. I even helped others and ruined their reputation." Master Qingxin said word for word.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the scene. How could they still not imagine that they were talking about the third girl of the Xuanping Hou Mansion?
"Tell the story exactly as it is." The viewer said loudly.
"Yes!" Master Qingxin kowtowed three times to the Sanqing Daoist among them, and then raised his head: "The poor Taoist was tricked by the girl from the palace of Qian Shilang, so he took a fortune teller from her and calculated the Xuanping Marquis's mansion.
The third girl had a bad fate. She was suspected of being a nuisance, and because she was careless, she spread this word, which affected the fate of Miss Yu. Later, after being reminded by the observer, she realized that this fate was not that of Yu San.
A girl’s.”
"The fortune-telling that Miss Qian gave to Pindao was for a person who was born fourteen years ago. Pindao did not know the true age of the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion. Later, the viewer rebuked Pindao, saying that he should not publicize this under any circumstances.
I also felt that this matter was very suspicious, so I specially asked the lady of the noble family to inquire about it, only to find out that the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion was actually only thirteen years old."
It is impossible for a thirteen-year-old person to have the fate of a fourteen-year-old, so this so-called ill-fated fate is not Yu Xijiao's.
Everyone understands this truth, but what they don’t understand is why the girl from Qian Shilang’s house did this?
"This matter is all Pindao's fault, but a big mistake has been made. Pindao has no face to deal with. The master of the temple ordered Pindao to take this as a warning." Master Qingxin continued.
The visitor put down the ruler in his hand and took out a pair of scissors from the plate held by another Taoist nun.
Everyone speculated one after another and became more and more confused.
The viewer took two steps forward, walked in front of Master Qingxin, picked up a strand of hair from Master Qingxin, and cut it with scissors. Immediately, the long hair was as short as the ears.
After that, under the horrified gazes of everyone, the viewer moved continuously, and strands of hair fell down, from Master Qingxin's shoulders to the ground. After a while, the ground was covered with a thin layer.
Everyone was shocked!
After all the hair was cut short, the visitor turned back to Master Qingxin and handed the scissors in his hand to Master Qingxin.
Master Qingxin took it respectfully with both hands.
"Now, I would like to use my hair as my head to atone for my sin of mistakenly believing other people's words and even speaking twice. However, my crime must be serious. I am willing to sacrifice my blood to the ancestor of Sanqing Taoism again."
Master Qingxin said slowly.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and before they could react, they saw Master Qingxin pricking his left arm with the scissors. Blood spurted out immediately, spraying blood all over his originally white clothes.
Some of the ladies timidly screamed and hurriedly covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch any more.
A Taoist nun came over, rolled up her sleeves for Master Qingxin, applied medicine, then wrapped a scarf around the wound, and finally stepped aside.
"Are you unwilling?" After the wounded Taoist nun retreated, the viewer asked again.
"Without reluctance, everything is the fault of poor Taoist..." Master Qingxin gritted his teeth in pain, but still endured it.
"If I had known now, why bother in the beginning." The viewer sighed. This sentence also expressed the thoughts of the other ladies present. They all felt that Qingxin was not wrong, but the girl in Qian Shilang's house was wrong.
Some people who know Qian Lizhen feel that they have really misjudged her. This girl from the Qian family is obviously not a good person, and she actually did such vicious things, and now she has even tired Qingxin Zhenren.
Master Qingxin is a master who has attained the truth. He blames himself so much for making this mistake. This shows that the master is still a master, and he really has compassion.
The elderly lady was silently reciting the Taoist Heart Sutra to soothe the panic in her heart. Things had developed to this point, which they had never expected before.
How much I believed in Qingxin before, I believe even more now.
Xia Qing Guan is indeed the most popular Taoist school. This Taoist school is very powerful. Even if they make mistakes, they do not tolerate it. They even invite ladies to watch the ceremony. This shows that there is real magnanimity.
A man of Tao.
"It's all my fault, please punish me." Master Qingxin said through gritted teeth. The sharp-eyed lady saw that her face was covered in sweat, and she was holding on.
"In this case, I will punish you by guarding the Sutra Pavilion until your hair grows back to its original length." The contemplative master spoke compassionately.
"Yes!" Master Qingxin bowed his head in agreement.
"You still need to make up for your mistakes. I went to Xuanpinghou Mansion and expressed my modesty to this third girl. After looking back, I went to the Sutra Pavilion to practice. If it doesn't happen, I can't go out in this life."
The viewer continued.
This means that if Qingxin's hair does not grow as long as before, she will not be allowed to go out, which is equivalent to being locked in the Sutra Pavilion. For Taoists, this is equivalent to confinement.
And there is no time limit, just wait until the hair grows to the same as before. If Sanqing Taoist blames, the hair will never grow to the same as before. On the other hand, if it grows to the same as before, it also means Sanqing Taoist forgives.
She made a mistake.
"Yes!" Master Qingxin still nodded without hesitation.
"The ceremony is completed!" the temple leader said loudly.
Master Qingxin resisted and recited the sutra once before being helped down by the Taoist nuns.
When she went down, she was already unsteady and relied on the Taoist nun beside her to support her. Many ladies could see clearly that Qingxin's face was covered with sweat, his left arm was dripping with blood, and his thin clothes were soaked with sweat. It was obvious how
It hurts. This injury was caused by myself, so it must be serious.
Everyone looked at each other, watching Master Qingxin being helped down, and the temple leader who went down to Qingguan also left with the two Taoist nuns who were punishing him.
Other Taoist nuns led the ladies, old ladies and dowagers out of the hall.
The scene just now was too solemn, and the smell of blood in the hall was very strong. These ladies almost turned around and left. Only when they reached the sunshine outside the hall did they feel relaxed. The originally hot sun made them feel alive again.
The cold hands and feet felt a little warmer.
Everyone left in twos and threes and went back with their good friends. This matter spread faster and more violently than the previous story about Yu Xijiao's fate. For a while, everyone was talking about this matter.
Everyone is analyzing the reasons behind this. Master Qingxin took all the responsibility, but some aspects are not clear.
As the situation changed, another piece of news appeared in the case of Qingxin Zhenren, which made everyone suddenly realize...
