Chapter 148
Zijin Nunnery is not as famous as Jinshan Temple in Lin'an Prefecture, but it is also one of the Buddhist attractions.
The miraculous appearance of Avalokitesvara enshrined in the nunnery and the statues of the Eighteen Arhats that are ready to come alive are all made by famous sculptors, and people from far and near pay homage to them.
After a night of refreshment, Chen Gou was dragged by Bai Suzhen to the nunnery to pray for the unborn child.
The goblin came to worship the Bodhisattva, and was more devout than anyone else. Chen Gou felt that this world was really magical.
Walking into the main hall, you will see three big Buddhas head-on, with serene faces, sitting on the lotus seat.
Looking at the sea, Avalokitesvara has a graceful expression, and the red and green canopy flutters in the breeze, helping all living beings in the sea of suffering.
Around the Bodhisattva, there are eighteen arhats lined up on both sides, majestic and majestic, and the King Kong is solemn.
Chen Gou saw it, and couldn't help thinking: If Fa Hai succeeds in breaking through and is promoted to Arhat realm, will the statue be enshrined in a certain temple someday in the future?
Then he thought that if he himself continued to stay in Buddhism, maybe one day he would be able to receive such treatment.
Zijin Nunnery is the most prosperous place of incense, but it is not under Jinshan Temple, because many women like to come to the nunnery to pray for blessings instead of going to temples.
Finally it was Bai Suzhen's turn, and she offered incense herself, knelt down before Guanyin Bodhisattva, and sincerely said:
Bodhisattva above, may my husband's ambitions be great, and he will rise to the nine heavens. May my son live a long and healthy life, free from disasters and difficulties...
May my husband, wish my son again, I will be myself in the end.
Chen Gou's complexion was complicated and deep.
Love is as deep as the sea, how can the prodigal son repay it?
After a while, Bai Suzhen got up from the futon and said with a smile, Okay, let's go.
Chen Gou hurriedly held her hand, turned around and walked outside together.
Huh!
When going down the steps, Bai Suzhen suddenly caught a glimpse of a table in the corner of the courtyard wall with a stick on it, and a kindly and elegant nun stood behind the table.
Chen Gou frowned slightly. He remembered that when he first came here, there seemed to be no nuns and tables with lottery tubes.
It may have just arrived.
Then there is a place to ask for a lottery, let's go and ask for a lottery for the child. After Bai Suzhen finished speaking, she directly pulled Chen Gou over.
Seeing someone coming, the nun smiled slightly at the two of them, stretched out her hand and said, Please, two benefactors.
Bai Suzhen seemed to really believe in gods and Buddhas, so she immediately picked up the lottery and wanted to shake it.
Chen Gou was bored, and what he disliked the most were things like fortune-telling.
It is natural to be happy for a while, but in the end it is inevitable that there will be no joy.
It's not a good idea to be on tenterhooks, I've lost my own mentality.
The benefactor wait!
The nun suddenly stopped Bai Suzhen, then looked at Chen Gou and said with a smile: The two of you come together, so you might as well pray together once, your heart will be more open.
When Bai Suzhen heard it made sense, she looked at Chen Gou eagerly with her bright autumn eyes: Husband, come on, just once.
Chen Gou had no choice but to go forward and hold the stick with her, and then shook it.
After a while, a stick fell out of the stick, and there were three sticks, one in front of Chen Gou and two against Bai Suzhen.
Before they could respond, the nun picked up the one in front of Chen Gou, looked at it, handed it back to him, and said with a smile, Congratulations to the benefactor, this is the fifteenth lottery. Shangji, Minghuang Youyue Palace.
Chen Gou took the sign and lowered his head to look carefully, only to see that the words on the sign read: A leaf of the fairy tree is floating in the middle, the Moon Palace and the Toad Palace are free to travel, the sound of the colorful clothes gradually stops, and when will the wine and poems be recited and drunk.
This autograph is about Tang Minghuang's acquisition of a fairy boat, soaring to the sky, traveling in the moon palace, hearing fairy music everywhere, poetry, wine, singing and dancing, endlessly.
The nun smiled and unwrapped the lottery: Those who get this lottery have nine days in their hearts, and they can develop great ambitions, but there are dangers in auspiciousness, so we must be careful not to be too obsessed with beauty, beauty, and happiness, otherwise everything will be like a dream and a passing cloud.
Still speaking decently, do magic sticks walk like this?
Chen Gou complained secretly in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face, It's too auspicious for Master Cheng.
The nun knew from his tone that he didn't take it seriously, and she didn't say much, so she picked up a lottery in front of Bai Suzhen and looked at it, and said:
The twenty-ninth lottery, Zhang Hansizhu, although this lottery is only auspicious, but those who are contented will have happy days, and the key lies in the word 'contentment'.
Bai Suzhen's heart moved when she heard this, she picked up the last lottery and looked at it, she was surprised and said, The eighty-eighth lottery, Mulan joins the army?
Serving in the army for my father is courageous and heroic, like a man with eyebrows and a woman. Dedicated to the country, loyal and filial, laughing at all the great men at that time.
The nun glanced at Bai Suzhen's belly, smiled lightly and said, There is no need for a poor nun to untie this lot, the benefactor will naturally understand.
Bai Suzhen understood some, but not all, and wanted to ask again, but the nun put her hands together and said: Today's fate is over, and we will meet again in the future.
Let's go, go.
Chen Gou didn't want to stay any longer, so he hurriedly dragged Bai Suzhen down the mountain.
Walking on the mountain road and leaving the range of Zijin Nunnery, he said to her seemingly casually, but in fact he said seriously: I have been a monk, and I know more about Buddhist methods than you. If you don’t understand, then guess it yourself, in short, people who see Buddhism in the future should stay away.”
oh.
Bai Suzhen didn't know if she really believed it, but suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: Sir, you haven't named the child yet?
Name it!
Chen Gou's eyes lit up, and he said something shameless. He had already thought about this when he was in the third year of high school, and he really prepared several times in advance.
But at that time, I was young and immature, and the name I chose had no connotation at all. Naturally, I can't use it now, and I have to seriously choose a new one.
While walking and meditating, one name after another appeared in Chen Gou's mind, and then he rejected it.
It wasn't until he returned to the West Lake that he was finally sure, took Bai Suzhen's hand flat, and wrote Mu on it with his fingers, and then added a Xi.
Bai Suzhen blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked, Muxi, is there any allusion?
The boy's name is Mu, and the girl's name is Xi.
Chen Gou shook his head lightly, without further explanation, he led Bai Suzhen away from the West Lake gradually, and walked into the forest along a small stream.
After half an hour, I finally came to the small lake with a hidden space-time rift underneath.
Here is still luxuriant grass, butterflies flying.
Bai Suzhen was surprised at why Chen Gou brought her here, and there was a look of questioning in her eyes.
You said how about we build a small building in the middle of the lake and then surround the surrounding area to build a manor? Chen Gou circled his hands and laughed.
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, My husband wants to live here? As long as you like it, of course I can.
Not me, but you and the child.
Chen Gou suddenly looked melancholy, showing a little loneliness, and sighed: I can't pretend anymore, I have a showdown. In fact, I am the savior chosen by God. With a lofty mission, every once in a while, You have to go to a certain world to hone yourself.
But when I'm done grinding, I'm leaving this world and not coming back for a while. And this lake is the only way for me to leave and come back!
...???
Bai Suzhen looked at the inconspicuous little lake, then at Chen Gou, who had a face as lonely as snow, held his hand and said softly, Sir, it's okay, as long as you are happy, don't be afraid of illness, my lady knows medicine, It can be cured.
Chen Gou: ...
In the end, Chen Gou talked about it, and took Bai Suzhen to the bottom of the lake to see the chaotic space crack with his own eyes, and finally believed that he was not insane.
Then I was ignorant for several days, and it took a long time to fully accept this information.
Can't you take me with you?
Facing Bai Suzhen's expectant gaze, Chen Gou could only shake his head: Your cultivation base is too high to pass through the new channel, but after it stabilizes completely, you can pass through.
In addition, this secret is of great importance. I built the manor here to let you guard the entrance. Only you know about this matter. Don't tell anyone, including Xiaoqing! It's not because you don't believe her, but because Good for her, knowing this secret may cause trouble...
Chen Gou carefully instructed Bai Suzhen in an unprecedentedly serious tone.
In this world, the only person Chen Gou could trust completely was her. With her guarding the small lake, he could rest assured.
As long as it is not Fa Hai, basically no one can threaten her.
On the second day, reliable craftsmen were recruited to build the manor around the small lake.
With Bai Suzhen using the demon wind to transport materials, the progress is naturally very fast. In just half a month, it already looks decent, the overall framework has been built, and only the delicate work of carving beams and polishing remains.
As for furniture and the like, they can be moved to the White Mansion in West Lake.
At this time, Chen Gou was annoyed that his storage space was still too small. If there were hundreds or thousands of cubic meters, he could handle them all in one go.
But what surprised him and Bai Suzhen was that Fa Hai and Xiao Qing were waiting for them in the courtyard of West Lake.
The first time he saw Fa Hai, Chen Gou couldn't help but tremble all over.
At this time, amidst the majesty of Fahai's treasure, there was a faint golden light around him, and the aura of the whole person became extremely majestic and vast.
Standing in front of you feels like you are facing a god!
Chen Gou said with a trembling voice: Senior brother, you...have broken through your inner demons and been promoted to Arhat?!
Amitabha!
Fahai clasped his hands together, and said with a half-smile, The poor monk can achieve today's achievement, five points of practice, five points of chance. Among the chances, the master's crossing power accounted for seven points, so today, before ascending to the Buddhist world, Come here to fulfill your wish.”
When Chen Gou was still wondering how he was going to fulfill his wish, he saw Fa Hai raised his hand, and the Brahma rosary that Chen Gou had been wearing all this time flew over by itself.
Buddhist inscriptions appeared in Fa Hai's palm, and palm after palm landed on the rosary in front of him.
In an instant, all one hundred and eight rosary beads were imprinted with his Buddha seal, the golden light was introverted, mysterious and awe-inspiring.
Junior brother, let's say goodbye today, he will come to see you someday!
Fa Hai clasped his palms together, turned around and walked away in the air, with golden light turning into rain under his feet, and lotus blossoms at every step.
The closer you are to the sky, the more prosperous the golden light will be, until in the end, your whole body will be overwhelmed by the Buddha's light...
This is soaring?
There really is a Buddhist realm!
Chen Gou's whole body was petrified on the spot.
I don't know how long it took, and when he recovered from the shock, everything had returned to calm, and only the Buddha seal on the Brahma rosary proved that everything had happened.
Chen Gou inspected it carefully, and found that the rosary was still of the silver grade and incomplete, but it had an additional attribute of Arhat Buddha shade.
