At night, in Wang Miaoyin's fragrant boudoir, Wang Miaoyin's eyes were tightly closed, her hair was hanging down like a waterfall, her hands were clasped together, and she was mumbling words. Behind her, there were more than ten eminent monks with solemn Dharma appearances, each holding a dust vessel, and facing each other. There were a few remaining golden threads in front of the Buddhist niche, where sutras for salvation of the dead were chanted, sandalwood curled up, and in conjunction with these Sanskrit sutras, the entire incense boudoir fell into a wonderful atmosphere.
Standing next to Wang Miaoyin, a Zen master in his fifties, with gray beard and eyebrows, was wearing a scarlet cassock, covering the khaki monk's robe underneath. .
This person is Huiyuan, a famous Zen master in the world today, and the chief disciple of Master Dao'an, who is the number one monk in the world. Master Dao'an was stationed in Xiangyang at that time, and was later taken to Chang'an by the Qin army. Fu Jian treated him with great courtesy. Although Master Daoan was in a foreign country, he still cared about the Jin Dynasty and sent his chief disciple, Master Huiyuan, back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to preach.
This Master Huiyuan was from Yanmen. He studied Confucianism when he was young. He was close friends with Lu Gu, the father of Lu Xun, the second senior brother of Tianshi Dao. Later, when he was 21 years old, he listened to Master Daoan once in Taihang Mountain. I was deeply impressed by his propagation of Buddhism and entered Buddhism. Over the past few decades, I have devoted myself to cultivation and read various Buddhist classics. Based on my attainments in Buddhism and Zen, I have already shown the potential to be better than others.
After Huiyuan returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to promote Buddhism, Huan Yi, who was the governor of Jiangzhou at the time, was amazed by Huiyuan's talent and specially built Donghua Temple in Lushan Mountain for him as a place to preach in Xi. Huan Yi died of illness in Jiankang a while ago. Zen Master Huiyuan also specially came to Jiankang to recite sutras for his salvation, and by the way, he accepted Xie An's invitation to conduct dharma for the soldiers who died in the Northern Expedition. During these two visits, he actually became familiar with Wang Miaoyin, who went to the dharma field every day. Today Wang Miaoyin asked him to come and help Liu Yu perform rituals for salvation, and the master readily agreed, from the time of the first update until now.
Wang Miaoyin finished reciting the last sentence. Her expression was calm and not too sad. The monks behind her also stood up one after another. After bowing together, they retreated. Only Wang Miaoyin and Huiyuan were left in the room. Two masters.
Master Huiyuan slowly opened his eyes: "Miaoyin Donor, have you made up your mind? If you take this step, you can never look back in this life."
Wang Miaoyin sighed quietly: "I have thought about it very clearly. I will not regret it. Master, come on."
As she spoke, she untied the hairpin on her head, and her dark cloud-like hair hung down.
Master Huiyuan nodded and took out a razor from the sleeve of his robe: "Amitabha, that's good, that's good!"
It's dawn, it's time.
Xie An and Xie Daoyun stood side by side at the door of Wang Miaoyin's boudoir. Next to them was a palace eunuch who was in his forties. He had a fat face and a smile on his face. He was holding a whisk in his hand, ten years old. Several palace envoys stood behind the gift box with gold silk ribbons, which was the betrothal gift sent by Sima Yao.
The fat eunuch smiled and said: "Today is such a good day. The wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless. When we were doing rituals a few days ago, it was cloudy. It seems that God also likes this marriage and wants to make a difference. What bad luck."
Xie An smiled slightly: "Eunuch Liu, thank you for not giving up and accepting me as your granddaughter. This is the blessing of our Xie family and the Wang family."
Eunuch Liu laughed: "Prince Wang has been away for many years, and Miss Wang has been living in Xie Xianggong's house. Mrs. Wang has also been here for many years. Everyone knows that Miss Wang is more of a granddaughter of the Xie family. This time Miss Wang When I enter the harem, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to be the empress, and my mother will be honored by the world. I will be able to see the two families, Wang Xie, and have such a good relationship with the royal family. I am really happy from the bottom of my heart."
Xie Daoyun coughed lightly: "Eunuch Liu, although I am temporarily living in my mother's family, I am a member of the Wang family after all. Please tell the Lord that this marriage is with the Wang family, not with the Xie family. Of course, Wang There is no big problem with Xie Yiyi. Not only Xie Xianggong, but also my husband will serve the country loyally and be diligent in the king's affairs."
Eunuch Liu nodded quickly and said: "This is natural, this is natural. Xie Xianggong has been the prime minister for twenty years and has devoted himself to the country. The governor Wang is also the pillar of the country, and Mrs. Wang is the best among women. The Holy Master has always been full of praise for this. of."
Having said this, he glanced at the still closed door of the boudoir and frowned slightly: "Xie Xianggong, Mrs. Wang, you see, this auspicious time has come, the old slave has been standing here for more than half an hour, Wang Aren’t the young lady’s rituals finished yet?”
Xie An turned around and glanced at Xie Daoyun. Xie Daoyun said calmly: "Miaoyin has been doing things since last night. She said that after doing it, she will completely break with the past and serve the king wholeheartedly. This daughter of mine will never speak. I will never break my promise, I believe..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a "squeak" sound, and the door of Xianggui slowly opened. Master Huiyuan held a Zen staff and strode forward with a solemn appearance. Behind him, a bhikshuni in blue robes. , hands clasped together, she walked out slowly. On her bald head, the newly permed ring scar at six o'clock was clearly visible. Even without any hair, she could not hide her stunning face. Her expression was calm, dignified, and there was no trace of it. The joy or sorrow, isn't it Wang Miaoyin?
Everyone present was stunned. Eunuch Liu opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't say a word. Even Xie An's eyes widened and his lips were trembling slightly, just like his slightly trembling body. Xie Daoyun He stepped forward and wanted to rush in front of Wang Miaoyin, but was blocked by Master Huiyuan. He only heard him shout the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Mrs. Wang, please respect yourself."
Xie Daoyun said sharply: "Master, what's going on? My daughter, how could it be, how could it be..."
Wang Miaoyin calmly announced the name of the Buddha: "Amitabha, dear donors, this poor nun has accepted the ordination of the master last night. From now on, he takes refuge in my Buddha, and the name of the Buddha is Miaoyin. Everything in the world has nothing to do with me from now on."
Xie An gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Miaoyin, if you don't want to accept this marriage, you can refuse it. Why do you need to escape into Buddhism like this? Do you know the consequences of doing this? This is making fun of your life's happiness!"
Zhi Miaoyin shook her head calmly: "When Wang Miaoyin was still alive, he and Liu Yu swore that we would live and die together in this life. Now that Liu Yu has passed away, Wang Miaoyin cannot be alone in this world. All the grudges, right and wrong, , let it go like this. Thank you to the donor, Mrs. Wang, for your kindness in raising me over the years. I will pray to the Buddha for you two every day. However, there is no more Wang Miaoyin in the world."
