Chance encounter

At the foot of Qianfeng Mountain, a carriage parked on the side of the road for a long time, occasionally a voice or two could be heard from the carriage.

Liu Wuyan said to the prince: "Think quickly, the sun seems to be going down."

The prince said helplessly: "How many times have you said it in this hour, the sun is still hanging there. Don't rush me, I have never been here before."

Liu Wuyan said: "There is only one big stone with Qianfeng Mountain written on it here. Where are we going to find the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas? And there is more than one temple here with the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Which one should we find? I guess we will find it later." , Concubine Li's sons are all enthroned." After Liu Wuyan finished speaking, she saw the prince looking at him with a cold face, and he quickly said, "Bah, bah, how did that bitch of hers give birth to a son."

The prince sighed helplessly, and then said: "I really can't remember the name of the temple, otherwise we'll go up first and ask later."

Liu Wuyan said, "Which mountain should we go to first?"

The prince didn't speak after hearing this. There are so many mountains in front of him, and he really doesn't know which one to climb.At this moment, Liu Wuyan raised the curtain of the car, and was about to lament that the sun was really going down when he saw a woodcutter approaching. He immediately got out of the carriage, walked over and said, "Brother, may I ask who is here on Qianfeng Mountain?" How many halls of ten thousand Buddhas are there?"

The woodcutter put down the bundle of firewood he was carrying and said, "You are here to worship Buddha. There are thousands of temples on Qianfeng Mountain, each of which is different, but the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas is almost the same. I don't know what you are looking for." one?"

Liu Wuyan thought for a while and said, "Nature is the biggest, most brilliant and most authentic of Buddhism."

The woodcutter laughed and said, "There are two big and brilliant ones. One is in Nanshan and the other is in Beishan. I don't know if the Buddhism is authentic or not. However, the monks in Yuanyin Temple in Beishan should be quite powerful."

Liu Wuyan asked curiously, "How can you see that?"

The woodcutter said: "There is a big water-carrying monk in Yuanyin Temple. I see him every day when I come back from cutting firewood. He always sits down and tells me some Buddhist teachings. I think all water-carriers are so good at it." Speaking of the Dharma, wouldn’t the monks there be even more powerful?”

After hearing this, Liu Wuyan smiled and said, "Well, it looks really powerful. There might be a nunnery near Yuanyin Temple."

After hearing this, the woodcutter said in amazement: "How did you guess it? The nunnery was built a few years ago. There used to be one temple in Beishan, but now there are two. But one monk's temple and the other nun's nunnery, it looks a bit awkward." .”

After the woodcutter left, Liu Wuyan returned to the carriage, and the prince asked, "Have you heard about it? It's been so long?"

Liu Wuyan smiled and said, "In Beishan, shall we go tomorrow or now?"

The prince thought for a while and said, "It's better tomorrow."

The prince and Liu Wuyan sat in the carriage watching the sunset, and finally drove the carriage to Beishan early the next morning.

The prince was driving the carriage, and Liu Wuyan sat next to the prince and asked, "Should we go to the temple to find your uncle or go to the nunnery to find your mother."

The prince said: "Let's talk about it when we see the temple. After walking for so long, I haven't even seen a house."

Liu Wuyan said: "There are only two temples here in Beishan. You think there are few houses here, and there are temples everywhere in Nanshan. You think there are too many temples. You are really hard to serve."

Liu Wuyan saw a girl walking with a basket in front of her, so she said to the prince, "The guide has appeared."

The prince said suspiciously: "There are temples everywhere here. She is a girl's house. Is it a bit suspicious to appear here?"

Liu Wuyan said: "You think this is a ghost story, so it's possible that the girl was transformed into a fox spirit."

The carriage stopped when it passed the girl, Liu Wuyan said, "This girl is going to the temple."

The girl nodded.

Liu Wuyan said: "Could you invite the girl to sit in the carriage so that you can show us the way."

The girl thought about it for a while, then nodded. The prince still doubted her identity, but Liu Wuyan didn't care at all. Instead, he chatted with the girl. The girl asked them which temple they went to. Asked what she was doing, Liu Wuyan said she was looking for someone, but the girl said that one of the two temples was full of men, and the other was full of women, whether she was looking for men or women.Liu Wuyan said one man and one woman.

The prince thought Liu Wuyan talked too much, so he kept winking at him, Liu Wuyan seemed to have not seen him, the girl asked in a strange voice when she saw the prince's appearance: "Is this old grandpa's eyes bad? Why are you so crowded?" Squeeze away?"

Liu Wuyan took a careful look at the prince, then sighed, and said, "My father does have an eye disease, and this time he came to seek medical advice."

After hearing this, the girl also glanced at the prince, and said, "I never heard of any monk on this mountain who can see a doctor."

Liu Wuyan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Miss, are you familiar with the masters in Yuanyin Temple?"

The girl smiled and said, "I live in a nunnery, so I don't know about monks. During the time I've been here, I've only seen the big monk who carried water, and I haven't seen any other monks, so Yuanyin Temple I don't know if there is a monk here who can cure this old man's illness."

After hearing this, Liu Wuyan asked, "How long has the girl lived in the nunnery?"

The girl said: "I arrived here a month ago. I was ill at the time. I got here somehow. I fell on the side of the road and was rescued by my teacher. Now I have no money and can't go on the road, so stayed in the nunnery."

After hearing this, Liu Wuyan immediately praised the kindness of the Bodhisattva Master who saved her, and the girl smiled and said nothing.

They were silent for a while, and Liu Wuyan asked again: "I don't know what to call the girl." After Liu Wuyan asked, she felt that the prince's eyes were staring at herself, and these bright eyes did not seem to be sick.

The girl said: "My name is Liu Huiru."

Liu Wuyan thought, since she asked her name, she couldn't help but keep asking, so she asked, "Where is Miss Liu from? How did you get here?"

Liu Huiru said: "My home is in the west, and I was going to the capital to find my husband-in-law, but somehow I ended up here. When I have money, I will go to the capital."

After hearing this, Liu Wuyan looked at the vegetable basket beside her, and asked, "Do you sell vegetables to the nunnery every day? But, where do you get the vegetables? By the way, you bought vegetables for them, Mrs. I'll pay you for running errands."

After hearing this, the girl smiled and said, "You really know how to guess, but I am working as a maid for the teacher, and the teacher pays me."

Liu Wuyan nodded after hearing this, and said to herself, it's not enough for this teacher to have a bunch of little nuns to serve her, she also needs a maid. Yan also nodded, since the imperial concubine is a teacher, of course it is indispensable to serve the maids.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the nunnery, Liu Huiru said to Liu Wuyan, "Go around and you will see Yuanyin Temple in a short distance, but I don't know if there is the monk you are looking for." After she finished speaking, she looked left and right. Looking at the prince's eyes, he said: "Grandpa's eyes are good and bad, and now they don't look sick." Liu Wuyan coughed lightly after hearing this.

The prince also coughed, and then said: "I wonder if the teacher is here?"

Liu Huiru froze for a moment after hearing this, the voice was obviously not the voice of an old man, she looked at the old man in front of her eyes carefully, his back was no longer bent, and he stood there tall and straight, if he didn't look at that face , This is clearly a young man.Liu Huiru said: "Well, Mrs. Madam, let's be inside now, you, your voice, you don't look like it."

Liu Wuyan said with a smile: "Go in and explain to you, go and call the teacher."

Liu Huiru said, "Well, this is a nunnery, how can you get in?"

The prince said at this time: "Go and call the teacher, he will know what's going on when he sees me." After speaking, he pulled the carriage and walked into the nunnery.

Liu Huiru thought to herself while following them, could this old man be the teacher's best friend, but what about the great monk.

Liu Wuyan knew that waiting for Liu Huiru to call the teacher was better than calling them by themselves. When they entered the nunnery, a little nun came out. When she saw Liu Wuyan and the prince, she immediately scolded them, but Just halfway through the conversation, he stopped, stared at the prince for a while, and said, "Why did you make it look like this, I almost didn't recognize it." After speaking, he looked at Liu Wuyan with a smile, then turned and walked back go.It's not surprising for the prince to know that she recognized his identity, but Liu Wuyan didn't know what the little nun was doing while smiling at him?And Liu Huiru became more determined in her own opinion. This old man is indeed the teacher's best friend. Fortunately, he didn't say anything bad about him along the way. So this young man is the teacher's son, yes, it must be, he looks so good, he must be casual However, the teacher's vision is really not good, it must be his strong body that the teacher has taken a fancy to.Liu Huiru shook her head and nodded while thinking.

The teacher came out surrounded by a group of little nuns, the prince walked up, Liu Wuyan stood on the spot, and Liu Huiru stood beside him, thinking, this is how many years I haven't seen my mother, what is in this young master's heart Ideas must be complicated.Liu Huiru gave Liu Wuyan a sympathetic look, and Liu Wuyan smiled at her.Liu Huiru fell into her own imagination again.

The prince stepped forward, and the eyes of those little nuns seemed to be shining when they looked at him. The prince didn't seem to see it, and the teacher said solemnly, "I don't know why the benefactor came here?"

The prince felt a little headache after hearing this, and the shining eyes of those little nuns seemed to be saying, "Why are you here, why are you here."

The teacher said again: "The benefactor still remembers what the poor nun said."

The prince thought, you said so much at the beginning, how would I know which sentence you asked?Just shook his head.

The teacher asked again: "But something happened at home."

The prince was silent.

The teacher looked behind the prince and asked, "Is that your daughter-in-law?"

The prince looked back, and finally said: "Ah, isn't that your maid?" Still mother.

The teacher seemed to sigh, and said, "I didn't say that, it was the one next to her."

The prince said: "Who? He? He is not, no, just come with me."

The teacher said: "It seems that the benefactor has forgotten what the poor nun said. The poor nun said, when you come, bring your daughter-in-law."

The prince said: "He, he is a man."

The teacher said: "The poor nun is not blind, and he can tell the difference between a man and a woman." The teacher saw the prince's awkward look, and said, "Could it be, are you?" After finishing speaking, the teacher looked down at the prince with sympathy .

The prince immediately said: "Mother, what are you thinking, of course I am at the top." As soon as he finished speaking, all the little nuns laughed.The prince was a little embarrassed.

The teacher said: "I think so, but why do you look like this, your face is so wrinkled that you have skin left, and this white-haired one, does it mean that you indulge too much every night, waste your energy, and behave like an old man at a young age?" Same."

The prince said helplessly: "Mother, do you really not see that these are disguises?"

The teacher pretended to be surprised and said, "The benefactor is disguised? Has something happened to the benefactor?"

The prince said: "Mother, if you continue to do this, I will go to Yuanyin Temple to find the emperor's uncle."

The teacher immediately pulled the lord and said: "You can't play with me more, okay, hurry up and change your clothes and wash your face." After speaking, she shouted at Liu Huiru who was in a trance: "Little Ru, Why are you in a daze, why don't you hurry up and serve the young master." Liu Huiru came back to her senses, thinking as she walked forward, why suddenly the old man became the young master.The prince turned his head and glanced at Liu Wuyan, the teacher said with a smile, "She also said she wasn't a daughter-in-law."

The prince said again: "It has been said that he is a man."

The teacher shook her head after hearing this, she didn't say anything, and she glanced at Liu Wuyan with a smile, Liu Wuyan thought to herself, there was nothing on her face, she looked at herself anyway, especially those little nuns who looked at her and smiled, what's so funny.
