Chapter 407 Planning 5
After going down the mountain and entering the back gate of the Pure Land Temple, Wang Jinyi finally stopped singing, but the loneliness in her heart was really lingering - where are you? Are you here too? I really miss you!
The call in my heart turned into grievance, tears slowly rolled down the corners of my eyes, Zhu Yu comforted me softly,
"Miss, it's cold, it's already the beginning of winter, you can't run up the mountain anymore, your injuries still need to be healed through the winter..."
While reminding the lady, he followed closely for two steps. She suddenly stopped. What did she see?
The young lady actually cried? Zhu Yu was puzzled but distressed.
He ran a few steps to catch up with the young lady and called out softly, "Miss..."
Wang Jinyi knew that he had affected Zhu Yu, so he didn't look back but raised his hand and waved forward, "Hurry up, hurry up, keep up."
She ran after the young lady into the temple gate...
a few days later.
Zhu Yu saw Yuqing, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, coming in from afar, and followed her into the house, but she didn't expect that the young lady would send her out again.
After Zhu Yu left, Yuqing lifted the thick door curtain, looked around, then turned around and closed the door tightly.
He took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, leaned close to the lady and said in a low voice:
"Miss, I walked around the northeastern suburbs of Beijing and found two nunneries closest to the Pure Land Temple."
The two men carefully unfolded the paper, on which was a simple map drawn crookedly.
"This is Luoxia Temple, about twenty miles away from here. There are seven nuns in the temple, including the abbot. The staff is simple and it is very quiet. There is only one main hall and a small courtyard in the temple. The conditions are a bit harsh, and it is built halfway up the mountain."
Wang Jinyi turned the simple drawing around, identified it, and took a closer look at another point on the map. He pointed it out and asked:
“Is this one also a place?”
"Miss, this is Jiyue Temple. It's quite far. You have to walk 30 or 40 miles along the mountain road to get there. It's deep in the mountains."
Yuqing pointed at the mark on the map and said, "This nunnery is larger, with 20 to 30 nuns. The abbess, Master Huici, is very prestigious..."
Yuqing talked nonstop, and Wang Jinyi picked up the kettle and poured her a glass of water, pushing it over, "You've worked hard, drink some water."
Yuqing didn't answer but changed the subject.
"Miss, when I came back, I went through a small hillside in Lin County to save time. It's less than ten miles away from the Pure Land Temple by mountain road. There is a Qingfeng Temple there. I asked and they accept female Taoist nuns..."
It was not until now that Wang Jinyi realized that Yuqing had misunderstood her meaning. She probably thought that she wanted to find a secluded and safe place to meditate.
Yes, how could she know how far she had thought? How could she have thought that she didn't want to let down the true love of her previous life!
He interrupted Yuqing in a low voice.
"I'm looking for a way out."
"Miss……!"
This sentence finally made Yuqing understand the young lady's thoughts. She was a little bit unbelievable, "Young lady, it shouldn't be that serious!"
Yuqing is an adult after all, and always unconsciously thinks that the young lady is a child after all. His face is full of adult confidence, but he meets the young lady's firm gaze.
"What if someone wants to recruit the entire Wang clan to strengthen a faction? Wouldn't the best way be to recruit me into that faction? Or find an excuse to stay with them."
"Ah? Is it possible?"
"I will be ten years old next year. What if you leave me with someone in a special way?"
"Ah? Is this still possible?"
"My aunt was taken away from the palace when she was ten years old..."
"Miss, you are overthinking it. The princes will not marry women like us who have no background just to fight for their own interests!"
"What if it's not my wife?!"
"Ah? Who among them dares to take Wang's daughter as a concubine?"
"What if the empress recognizes me as her godparents, or brings me into the palace to stay for a few years if she sees someone she likes?"
"What? There is such a thing? No wonder you thought of becoming a monk. Are you afraid of dragging down the tribe? You, you think too far ahead. No wonder the tribe leader asked me to protect you..."
Yuqing accidentally revealed the secret of why the patriarch sent her here. Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke. Finally, she sat down quietly and drank a cup of tea. She said, "I'm going out for a while," and left.
Yuqing only left with a hurried back view. Wang Jinyi looked at the map carefully again and smoothed out the wrinkled corners.
The wind blew outside Yunshui Hall. The cold wind wrapped in fine snow particles hit the window frames, making a crackling sound, like the fragmented but continuous memories of the previous life.
Not wanting to become an emotional victim in the royal struggle, Wang Jinyi had to make a decision early. His fingertips unconsciously stroked the two black dots marking the nunnery on the map, unable to make a decision for a moment.
It was not until the afternoon a few days later that Wang Jinyi went to the Wanfo Hall to offer the copied Diamond Sutra. A tall young man in front of the main hall door caught Wang Jinyi's attention.
Wang Jinyi fixed his gaze and saw the figure in front of the Wanfo Hall looking towards him. A sense of déjà vu made Wang Jinyi slow down his pace, and then he suddenly remembered, wasn't this Wang Jinlai!
The young man in front of him was wearing a dark green satin round-collared robe, with four jade plaques hanging on his belt. Did this guy change his position again? !
I still remember that when he came to me to take orders, he was just an orphan who had just come from Huaguo Mountain. In just a few years, he has become a tall and capable manager.
The two jade plates around his waist were given to him by himself when he was promoted to be the manager.
Thinking along the way, Wang Jinyi had already walked to the door of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall. He turned back and told Ding Yi and Ding Er, "You stay here. Zhu Yu and Yu Qing will accompany me in."
After saying that, he lowered his head and walked into the door. When he quickly passed Wang Jinlai, he heard a low voice, "Miss."
Wang Jinyi responded, “Don’t talk.”
Just walk past Wang Jinlai.
He came to the wooden box offered to the prince, added oil to the eternal lamp, spread out the Diamond Sutra he had copied, knelt down on the cushion and began to recite the sutra.
The only difference from the past was that in the past she would slightly close her eyes when reciting the scriptures, but today, Wang Jinyi opened her eyes wide and kept glancing at Wang Jinlai.
This man is very smart. Wang Jinlai actually passed by the young lady twice, as if he was looking for something. In fact, he was hinting to the young lady the location of the box he came to offer as a sacrifice.
After making sure that the young lady had seen it, he took a piece of dust from the attendant behind him and covered the offering with it.
Watching him sorting things out over and over again, Wang Jinyi laughed unkindly. This guy was leaving a message for himself from home but was afraid that he would not see it, so he sorted it out over and over again to attract his attention. It was so funny! I really wanted to shout, I saw it!
The eternal lamp on the Buddhist shrine suddenly burst into flames. In the swaying light and shadow, Wang Jinyi quickly closed his eyes and concentrated on chanting the scriptures, no longer daring to be distracted.
There were clear sounds of bronze bells in the hall, and the monks in the main hall were urging people to come. Wang Jinlai bowed and walked out of the hall. While hesitating, he saw Ding Yi and Ding Er at the door, so he did not stay any longer and took his people away.
The vigilant East Palace guards exchanged glances, and Ding Er followed Wang Jin and watched him leave the mountain gate before turning back.
Wang Jinyi quickly got the things in such a short time.
