Chapter 393 Can I seek marriage?
Shang Ruyi slowly walked out of the Main Hall. The dazzling sunshine outside made her tears well up again. She hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the paper in her hand and the tenderness on the paper. The handwriting——
It is nothing more than love and hate when people send themselves to the world of mortals.
These eight words not only peeled off her bloody wounds, but also completely sutured her wounds that had been difficult to heal for a long time.
The scar left behind may be hideous, and may even cause pain in the future life, but in the end, she walked away from the pain, and even walked away from the blood-stained nightmare that night. out.
At this moment, Eunuch Yu's voice came from the front -
"The Queen Mother got up and drove back to the palace."
Shang Ruyi raised his head and saw that Queen Mother Jiang had already walked down the steps. , the officials serving around and the monks of Dayan Temple They probably didn't expect that the Queen Mother was about to return to the palace before the Dharma meeting was over, and she hurriedly came forward. Since Queen Mother Jiang was speechless, she naturally didn't say much to them. Eunuch Yu only gave a few instructions to those people. He stopped talking and could only step forward to send Empress Dowager Jiang off.
Just when she walked out of the mountain gate, Queen Mother Jiang turned back and glanced at Shang Ruyi, who was still standing at the door of the Main Hall.
Under such dazzling sunlight, her smile was still as gentle as water.
People send themselves to the mortal world with nothing but love and hate.
She is telling her that those who stay have the responsibility to be happier than those who leave.
So, she didn’t ask.
Even these days, she was in despair and in great pain. She was tortured by the unspeakable pain, and she was even separated from her soul because of Chu Yang's death.
But, the moment she saw Shang Ruyi, she had already decided not to ask anymore.
No matter what had happened, no matter how many of her dreams were dyed red by the blood in Jiangdu Palace, no matter how deeply her sword hurt her, she no longer asked.
Just because if you ask again, you will hurt someone else.
She has seen through everything and accepted everything, so she left that hideous scar for herself and left herself in this world full of scars.
At this moment, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt that some of the haze that had been weighing on his heart for a long time seemed to have been taken away.
Not only the memory of that night stained red with blood, but also the unspeakable jealousy ever since knowing Yu Wenye's true feelings seemed to be let go at this moment.
She stood there quietly, watching Empress Dowager Jiang's back disappear outside the mountain gate in front of her. Then she sighed, holding the piece of paper, turned around and walked towards the back of the temple.
After a while, we arrived at the Jushi Forest.
Just walked in but didn't find Yu Wenye. The dormitory arranged for them by the abbot and abbot was empty, with only Cheng Qiao guarding the door. Shang Ruyi asked him with some doubts where Yu Wenye had gone. Cheng Qiao said softly: "The second young master just came to sit for a while, but couldn't sit still, so he left again."
"Where has he gone? ?”
“It seems that I went to see the Bodhisattva in the front hall.”
"..."
It seems that even Cheng Qiao knows that Yu Wenye is not a believer in gods and Buddhas.
So, he did not go to worship the Bodhisattva, but to see the Bodhisattva.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while, nodded, turned around and walked forward.
Fortunately, she had also come to Dayan Temple with her parents to worship Buddha when she was a child, so she was not too unfamiliar with the gods and Buddhas enshrined in the main halls. Although Cheng Qiao did not explain clearly, which one Yu Wenye was going to see. Although he was a Bodhisattva, Shang Ruyi still walked to the Buddhist hall behind the Main Hall.
If she remembers correctly, the ones enshrined here are the Three Saints of the West.
Among them is the Bodhisattva.
Of course it was not all because of this. When Shang Ruyi approached the Buddhist hall, he heard a loud noise behind him and looked back. Not far from the Buddhist hall, there was a vermilion attic. When I came into view, the doors and windows were closed just like the Mahavira Palace, but it was not as quiet as the Mahavira Palace. On the contrary, I could faintly see the shining candles and swaying figures inside, and I could also hear the low voice of chanting Buddhist scriptures.
There is the Lecture Pavilion where the Inner Altar Dharma Assembly is held today.
And this Buddhist hall is the closest place to the Lecture Pavilion.
As she listened to the Buddhist scriptures and slowly walked to the door of the Buddhist hall, she looked up and saw a tall figure standing in the center of the Buddhist hall.
It’s Yu Wenye.
He is indeed here.
At this moment, there were only a few oil lamps burning in the Buddhist hall, and the weak light shone on his body. The originally strong body was outlined by the lights at this moment, making him look a little thinner. Even he The aura emanating from his body was no longer as strong as usual, but instead exuded an indescribable tranquility.
And he was standing in front of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, with his head raised and hands behind his back, looking quietly at the Bodhisattva's lowered eyes.
I don't know what he was thinking when he looked at it.
Shang Ruyi has never seen him like this before.
Is he thinking or begging for something?
Just thinking about this, she immediately felt funny in her heart - how could a person like Yu Wenye come to the Buddhist hall to ask for anything?
At this moment, a person walked in from the side door of the Buddhist hall. It was Master Xinzheng, the abbot of Dayan Temple.
I saw this old monk full of philistine spirit walking in slowly, smiling and clasping his hands at Yu Wenye, reciting a Buddha's name, and then said: "What are you asking for, second son?"
Yu Wenye and Don't look at him, but still stare at Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who is aloft, but with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, looking down on all living beings.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "What can the Bodhisattva give me?"
His words were still indifferent and arrogant, and even Shang Ruyi couldn't help listening to them. He frowned, but Master Xinzheng didn't feel anything wrong when he heard this. He just smiled and said: "The Bodhisattva can save you from seven difficulties. To detoxify the three poisons, you must respond to the second request."
As he spoke, he looked Yu Wenye up and down, and then said with a smile: "The second young master was born extraordinary, gifted with talents, became famous at a young age, and is high-spirited. There is no need for a Bodhisattva to save the Second Young Master from seven difficulties and relieve the three poisons. It is just these two requests——"
"Secondly, what can I ask for?"
"Ask for a son or a daughter."
"..."
"If an ordinary person can have both sons and daughters, it counts. It’s a great pleasure in life.” Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and suddenly said, “Can I ask for marriage?”
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's breath suddenly sank as he stood outside the Buddhist hall.
The Master Xin Zheng seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "This, the second young master is right."
"..."
"I think If you want to have both children, how can you not get married first?”
"..."
"However," he glanced at Yu Wenye with some doubts and said softly: "Isn't the second young master already married? The poor monk looked at the young lady for her beauty and intelligence. She is one of the best among men. Man, why does the second young master need to ask for marriage again? Destiny? "
"..."
Yu Wenye was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "If two people are not happy, it is not a good marriage."
< br>“…!”
Shang Ruyi's heart trembled slightly.
As if in response to her heartbeat, another clear voice came from the lecture hall not far away, and then there was a murmur of people. Although they were reciting Buddhist scriptures, they could Listening from a distance, it was a bit noisy.
The two people in the Buddhist hall obviously heard it.
A flash of light flashed in Master Xin Zheng’s calculating little eyes, and then he smiled and said to Yu Wenye: "Second Young Master, is it a mess of a crowd or a crowd?"< br>
“…”
Yu Wenye said with a half-smile, "Are you trying to say that it's because I'm upset?"
Master Xinzheng put his palms together and smiled and said, "The two young masters have a bond with Buddha."
If an ordinary person heard this, he would naturally feel proud, but Yu Wenye's eyes were even calmer. A little more indifferent, he sneered: "Master, all your efforts are not wasted. He wants to drag me to Buddhism so soon."
"..."
"Is it because of Buddhism? One person is missing, so you have to get another one?”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire Buddhist hall sank.
Even the flame of the originally silent oil lamp shrank slightly at this moment.
Shang Ruyi turned his head slightly and looked at the lecture pavilion.
Until now, the Dharma assembly in the inner altar has not ended. With the sound of the chime, I don’t know who had a great sermon, or who spoke the subtleties of Buddhism, but those voices came , indeed does not make people calm.
On the contrary, it is shocking.
Just when her breathing was a little messy, Master Xinzheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled again and said: "The second young master is indeed destined to be a Buddha, but it does not mean that the second young master's answer just now is correct."< br>
“Oh?”
Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although he does not believe in Buddhism or recite the Buddha's name, he is not ignorant of Buddhism. It is impossible that he has not heard of the well-known story that the wind and the flags are finally moving.
So, he answered Master Xin Zheng’s question without even thinking about it.
But it was said to be wrong.
Yu Wenye looked at the philistine old monk in front of him with a half-smile, and said: "Then, master, please tell me, what is the chaos?"
Master Xinzheng said with a smile: "Nothing is messed up."
"..."
"It's just that the second young master didn't mean what he said, and his thoughts were messed up."
"...!"
Yu Wenye looked stern.
Master Xinzheng had already clasped his hands in front of him, chanted a Buddhist chant in a low voice, and then turned around and walked towards the door. Shang Ruyi couldn't dodge - in fact, she didn't dodge either, she just stood there. At the door, he met the smiling eyes of Master Xin Zheng, and he saluted without any surprise: "Young Madam."
"...!"
Yu Wenye's back He froze and turned his head.
Shang Ruyi looked at him, then lowered his head and bowed gently to Master Xinzheng. Master Xinzheng had already smiled and said: "You two, there will be a Dharma conference in the Lecture Pavilion for a while, you two might as well Take a rest here."
After that, he put on his long monk robe and walked away.
Shang Ruyi turned his head and watched as his back disappeared in front of him. When he turned around again, he came face to face with a pair of deep black eyes that were shining with a strange light at this moment. I don’t know when, Yuwen Ye had already reached the door of the Buddhist hall and was looking down at her.
Shang Ruyi was a little confused subconsciously and lowered his head.
But even if she didn't look at him, Yu Wenye still looked deeply at her face, not missing even the slightest change.
He said: "Are you crying?"
