Chapter 40: Awakening
Xu Miaojin's face was full of admiration, full of yearning, intoxicated, and full of affection to talk about the magical experience...... That year, Xu Da died, Xu Miaojin's sky fell, the little girl was completely at a loss, and the whole palace was crying.
She is like a puppet, when others cry, she also cries, and when others kowtow, she kowtows, completely at the mercy of others. The little girl, almost drowned in the crowd like the sea, was more lonely than a fallen leaf.
Xu Da has a lot of children, and there will be more servants, but the problem is that as the first hero, even the emperor personally mourned, holding the coffin and crying, will there be fewer others?
Chao Chinese Wu, clan relatives, and even the king of Yan and Zhou of the clan, all came to worship.
The palace was busy, and the eldest brother Xu Huizu asked Lao Ni Cheng to take care of Xu Miaojin.
Chengxin is the presiding officer of the Xu family temple...... Xu Da, as Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man, is favored, and the Xu family is also very large, with many people and complicated affairs.
So the Xu family donated to build two family temples, a monk and a nun.
Chengxin is the host of the nunnery, she often goes in and out of the palace, and she also knows Xu Miaojin.
The whole funeral, she took care of it, meticulous, a full seventy-seven forty-nine days down, Xu Miaojin and Chengxin are very close, Chengxin also taught her the Rectoon Sutra, Diamond Sutra, Xu Miaojin is talented, taught two or three times, can be written down, Lao Ni is even more happy.
Since then, he has been in and out of the palace more and more often.
About a year later, just in time for Xu Da's anniversary, Xu Miaojin took the initiative for the first time to ask to go out of the palace and go to the temple to pray for his father.
She lived in the temple for a whole month, and just as she was about to go home, the temple invited a new Buddha, and that day was the day of the consecration of the Buddha.
Xu Miaojin clearly remembers that it was raining continuously a few days ago, and on the day of the light, it suddenly cleared, the glow shone, and through the window, the golden Buddha shone brightly.
Just outside the Buddha hall, above Zhongshan Mountain, colorful auspicious clouds appeared, and countless believers all knelt on the ground, crying loudly, trembling with emotion.
Buddha, manifested!
At night, Xu Miaojin couldn't sleep for a long time, and when she fell asleep easily, she dreamed of her father, Xu Da was dressed in a Confucian shirt, walked over with a smile, stepped on the lotus flower under his feet, and walked out of the colorful Buddha light, came to Xu Miaojin's face, and held her in his arms.
Warmth, safety, is exactly what she has been waiting for for a year...... Father is still by her side!
Since then, Xu Miaojin has become more and more religious, and every once in a while, she goes to the temple to burn incense, and she also knows Miss Feng, the two are almost thirty years apart, but they have a common language, and they have become New Year's friends......
"Eldest sister, it is my Buddha's compassion that made me see my father again, I am practicing for myself, but also for my father, Master Chengxin said, my father's life is too heavy, someone must resolve it for him, in order to ascend to bliss, I am willing to do penance for my father, eldest sister don't care about me!"
……
"Princess, now that the matter is clear, Miss Xu is young, and the thief nun took advantage of the situation to encourage her to believe in Buddhism. In my opinion, that thief nun probably got a lot of benefits from Miss Xu! Liu Chun said with anger suppressed.
"Alas!"
Xu sighed heavily, "My father told us before his death that the Xu family has received the grace of the Holy Lord, and it has suddenly become noble, and we must be more and more wary of someone beating our idea, and any relatives and friends must be screened and restrained, and they cannot be allowed to use the Xu family's signboard to behave indiscriminately." It's a pity, we guarded against this, guarded against that, but we didn't expect that those monks would hit the idea on the little sister! My eldest brother is just an elm pimple, and he's still a hollow one! ”
Xu Shi trembled with anger, "I immediately wrote to him and asked him to check on this old nun with a clear heart and see what the hell she was doing!" Just by bewitching the little sister, she should be thrown to Xuanwu Lake! Even these words were said, which shows that the Xu family's anger is so great, it is time to mourn for Xu Huizu.
Liu Chun said: "Princess, it's okay to check Chengxin, but I think it is still up to Miss Xu to expose her face...... Otherwise, I'm afraid Miss Xu won't be able to get out! ”
"This ......" Xu Shi was entangled in pain, "Liu Xiaolang, I don't know how to be good now!" I want to take care of it, but I'm afraid of breaking my little sister's heart, in case she gets into the horns, things will be in trouble! ”
Liu Chun is not a psychiatrist, and he has no ability to bloom lotus flowers, so he can only expose some ghost tricks, "Princess, the so-called colorful Buddha light is just a rainbow, and it is easy to appear when the sky is sunny after the rain." I think it was a complete coincidence that the people in the temple, who were familiar with the weather, calculated the time of the sunshine, and then decided to consecrate the Buddha. As for dreaming of the King of Zhongshan, most of them were thinking about it day and night, but it was a pity that Miss Xu was filial piety, but they took advantage of it! ”
Xu Shi thought about it and thought deeply, "The little sister is too young and can be easily deceived, I just don't know how to persuade it!" ”
Liu Chun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Princess, if I have a way to make the Buddha's light, what do you think?" ”
Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in surprise: "Liu Xiaolang, do you have such a great ability?" That's great! ”
Liu Chun smiled: "It's very simple, it only needs a little means, but I want to borrow the eldest son!" ”
……
Xu Miaojin got up very early, and she was not lazy at all, she cleaned up, grabbed the cradas, and prepared to recite the scriptures to her father as usual, when suddenly, she heard a commotion outside.
Xu Miaojin was curious and pushed the door open.
The bright sun shone in at once, and she could barely open her eyes.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover it, and looked forward, and the scene in front of her completely stunned her...... There was a table with a futon on it, and on top of the futon sat a chubby, round figure, dressed in pale yellow clothes, and on the head of this figure hung a round of colorful glow.
Is he Maitreya Buddha descending?
Xu Miaojin's eyes were blurred, but he soon came to his senses, because she was too familiar with this "Maitreya Buddha"!
"Zhu Gaochi!"
Xu Miaojin gritted her silver teeth and rushed up.
Little Fat Dun was so frightened that he hurriedly threw away his clothes, jumped off the table, and ran away, and at this moment, there was a bear child behind the table, spraying water with a bamboo tube.
Seeing that the eldest brother ran away, he also wanted to run, but Xu Miaojin grabbed his collar.
Zhu Gaoxu pulled his throat and begged: "Mother, help!" ”
At this moment, Xu Miaoyun and Liu Chun turned from the corner one after the other.
"Sister, you, what are you doing?"
Xu Miaoyun sighed, took the bamboo tube from Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and continued to spray water in the direction of the sun, and gradually, a miniature rainbow appeared in front of Xu Miaojin.
"W-what does this mean?"
"It's caused by the refraction and reflection of sunlight." Liu Chun said: "When the air is full of water droplets, usually when the showers stop, the sunlight will be refracted and reflected, forming a rainbow of colorful light. ”
Xu Miaojin's brows furrowed, full of hostility, "What do you want to say?" ”
"I'd say you're actually seeing a rainbow." Liu Chun smiled and said: "I have also prepared a lot of bamboo tubes, if Miss Xu is willing, we can make a rainbow together!" ”
Xu Miaojin was stunned and muttered, "Rainbow, rainbow...... Is it true? ”
Xu Shi stretched out his hand, grabbed his sister, and stuffed the bamboo tube into her hand...... This was made by Liu Chun last night when he asked the carpenter to make it overnight, and he called a dozen children, each holding a bamboo tube.
It was filled with water, and then everyone lined up in a row, aimed at the air, and pushed the wooden piston together, and the water sprayed into the sky from one end of the bamboo tube, and the air was gradually densely covered with water droplets, and a seemingly nonexistent light appeared in the air, and the children squirted water and shouted excitedly...... Gradually, the light became clear, and it was a rainbow of colors!
Right in front of me, it seemed that I could reach out and touch ......, "It turns out that this is what I saw!" Xu Miaojin suddenly threw away the bamboo tube, squatted on the ground, and cried silently......
