Chapter 351 Destined to Be Childless
When passing by Guanyin Hall, Chen Afu proposed to offer three sticks of incense to Guanyin Empress and ask the Bodhisattva to bless her for a smooth delivery.
Now Chen Afu is absolutely superstitious, absolutely believes in reincarnation, and believes in Buddha and Bodhisattva - she has traveled through time, so what else is impossible?
There was also a saying in the previous life that children were not allowed to enter the main hall. I was afraid that if they moved randomly, they would startle the Lord Buddha and Bodhisattva. So Chen Afu asked the two children to stand in the veranda and wait. Ten guards protected them and five guards followed him.
Chen Afu worshiped the Bodhisattva devoutly, donated money for sesame oil, and then was helped by Hong Fei to turn around and walk out of the hall.
As soon as she walked out of the main hall door, Dabao and Yan'er who were in the verandah held hands and ran towards her, shouting, "Mother, mother, Bodhisattva will definitely bless my mother to give birth to two younger brothers."
Both children were misled by Mr. Chu. They no longer talked about their sister, only their younger brother.
The two children shouted, making the other pilgrims laugh.
Chen Afu blushed with embarrassment. Hong Fei stood in front of Chen Afu and caught the child who was rushing towards him. The two of them slowed down their strength, then pulled Chen Afu's skirt and said, "Mom, if you worship the Bodhisattva, you will definitely have two younger brothers."
Chen Afu was speechless, just smiled and held their hands and prepared to walk to the verandah, when he saw a dozen guards surrounding the three of them with wary faces. Two more guards leaned down and hugged the two young masters into their arms, and Hong Fei also supported her.
She turned her head and saw the person she least wanted to see - Princess Rongzhao. Rong Zhao came out of the back door of the front hall and was walking towards her.
When Rong Zhao heard that Chen Afu was pregnant in the capital, he smashed several tea bowls. Later, I heard that they were twins, and a bunch of decorations were smashed. She touched her dissatisfied belly. Could it be that the prince consort's title was really going to be passed on to that bitch's son? No, absolutely not, I must have a son!
So, she pestered Lord Chu to come to Lingyin Temple again. She said she came to worship Buddha, but in fact she came to Master Wu Zhi to treat her illness.
Lingyin Temple had a transcendent status in the Dashun Dynasty, even surpassing Baoguo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing. One hundred and ten years ago, when Emperor Shun Gaozong was forty years old, he suddenly devoted himself to Buddhism. He gave the Zen throne to the prince and was ordained and converted to Buddhism at Lingyin Temple, taking the Buddhist name Xuanneng. Master Xuan Neng passed away fifty years later, and his relics are still enshrined in the temple.
Master Wu Zhi is the nephew of Master Xuan Neng, so even the emperor respects him. No one dares to force him to do anything he doesn't want to do.
In addition to forty years ago, Master Wu Zhi predicted that the south of Dashun would encounter unprecedented floods, and he also treated people during a widespread epidemic twenty-six years ago. He did not publicly see anyone, nor did he publicly see anyone. But everyone in the Dashun Dynasty, including the emperor's relatives, believed that Master Wu Zhi was an omnipotent monk.
The great disaster that happened forty years ago was because the late emperor listened to the master's prophecy and made full preparations, saving millions of lives. During that epidemic, Master Wu Zhi saved countless lives.
Master Wu Zhi is very busy, either traveling around, practicing in seclusion, or going out to do business. Rong Zhao wanted to try his luck and see if he could find him.
She heard that the second and third emperor brothers were also looking for traces of Master Wu Zhi. It was only after the emperor sent them to conduct disaster relief and inspections that they stopped thinking.
If she goes to other temples, Lord Chu will not be patient to accompany her. But if she comes to Lingyin Temple, he must accompany her. Because Yingxue'an is here, he is afraid that she will go there to cause trouble.
As soon as Rong Zhao came to Lingyin Temple, he first went to the Zen room of Master Wu Zhi. This time Master Wu Zhi was not only there, but also agreed to meet her, which made Rong Zhao overjoyed.
When she entered the meditation room, Wu Zhi only looked at her twice, then clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I can't cure Nv Shi's illness."
Rong Zhao said angrily, "I'm not a doctor. I know how to look, smell, ask, and feel to treat a disease. Master, I didn't do any of the three. Why do you say I can't cure my disease?"
Master Wu Zhi said, "Amitabha, Lao Na is looking forward to it. The female donor is destined to have no children."
Rong Zhao was furious, slapped the table, stood up, and said sternly, "How dare you say this to me!"
Master Wu Zhi said calmly, "The female donor came to the temple many times to find Lao Na. Seeing that the female donor was sincere and had some connection with Buddhism, Lao Na told the truth... Since the female donor did not believe what Lao Na said , Just pretend that Lao Na didn’t say anything.”
Rong Zhao said angrily, "I came to see you for medical treatment, and I didn't ask you to read your fortune."
Master Wu Zhi said, "Amitabha, the female donor is the sixth person who can make Lao Na read fortunes. The sea of suffering is boundless, and there is only one shore. The female donor can take care of herself. Amitabha, it is good, it is good." After saying this, he crossed his legs and closed his eyes and recited. After reading the scriptures.
Lord Chu, who was waiting outside the Zen room, heard the commotion and quickly entered the room to grab Rong Zhao and persuade him, "Princess, be careful, this is Lingyin Temple, and you are facing Master Wu Zhi."
Then he bowed to Master Wu Zhi and said, "Master, I'm sorry, Rong Zhao made a mistake, please forgive me."
Master Wu Zhi continued to recite the Buddha's name and seemed not to hear his words.
The eldest disciple on the side, Gui Ling, clasped his hands together and said, "Please give me two benefactors."
Rong Zhao calmed down. She knew that even though she was a princess, she could not act recklessly in Lingyin Temple. He quickly put down his posture and begged with tears, "Master, how can we resolve this evil consequence?"
Master Wu Zhi clasped his hands together and sat on the kang as if he had turned to stone.
Gui Ling said again, "God's will cannot be violated. Two donors, please come."
Lord Chu then pulled Rong Zhao out.
As soon as Rong Zhao went out, she climbed on Lord Chu's shoulder and cried, crying heartbrokenly. While crying, she said, "How could this happen? I wholeheartedly want to give Chu Lang a son, and want our bloodline to be passed on. Chu Lang, what should I do? What if I can't give birth to a son?"
Lord Chu's face was full of mystery, and he said gently, "Princess, don't be sad. It doesn't matter if you don't have a son. I don't care."
This seemed to comfort Rong Zhao, but Rong Zhao always felt something was wrong. She raised her head and said, "I don't believe that the old monk Wuzhi can be more powerful than the Buddha. It's useless to ask him, I will ask the Buddha. I will worship all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple one by one." Then, she took Lord Chu to the main hall.
Rong Zhao was just as she said. Starting from the first main hall, she had to burn incense and kowtow to each Buddha and Bodhisattva, extremely pious, without missing a single one.
When she was about to go to the Guanyin Hall, she saw a woman with a big belly walking out of the hall. She was upset when she saw a pregnant woman, and when she looked more carefully, she found it was Chen Afu, which made her even more upset.
She was wondering whether she should be patient, after all, this was a Buddhist pure land, she was still praying to Buddha, and Chu Lang was also behind. But she saw two children yelling and rushing towards Chen Afu, saying something like giving birth to two younger brothers. This was more irritating to her than any other words.
Some people said that Qingquan rarely updated, there was really no way, the editor asked Qingquan to save up his articles, maybe Wenwen will come up with a burst of updates one day.
