The incense in Mingguang Temple is flourishing.

As Lu Xiao and Li Lingyue went up the mountain, they saw an endless stream of pilgrims going up or down the mountain.

The newlyweds, who were like a golden couple, naturally attracted special attention, and pilgrims would nod to them in good faith from time to time.

Li Lingyue was kind-hearted. When she was on the mountainside, she saw an old woman going up the mountain alone. She went to help her. But she refused. The old woman firmly said that this was her piety to the Bodhisattva.

When she said this, Li Lingyue found it difficult to persist.

But the old woman started chatting and said to Li Lingyue: "Are you here to ask for a child?"

Li Lingyue smiled shyly.

The shy smile on her face made the old woman look slightly startled. It seemed that Li Lingyue was young and thin-skinned, and it reminded her of when she was young.

The old woman quickly came to her senses and said with a smile: "Girl, I am praying for a son in the Guanyin Temple, and it will only work if I come at night."

"Really?" Li Lingyue said in surprise.

Lu Xiao stood aside. Because of these words, he lost all his goodwill towards the old woman. He remembered that the original book said that the custom of staying at the Guanyin Hall at night to pray for a child came from a temple in Hubei during the Northern Song Dynasty. It was unknown when it spread to Hangzhou.

city.

The woman's husband set up a bed to wait outside the palace to prevent anyone from entering, and the sedan chair inside the palace could be seen from the window. From the outside, it seemed like he could have a peaceful night.

But there is a mechanism on the floor of the palace. Once the mechanism is activated, the woman in the sedan chair can be led into the basement.

After this, there is no need to say how the heirs will come.

Regardless of whether this matter was an act of lewdness or charity, the fact that the old woman took the initiative to mention it to the innocent Li Lingyue was enough to make people dissatisfied.

She even knew the custom of begging for a baby at night. If she said she didn't know what was going on inside, it would obviously be difficult to convince Lu Xiao.

But before Lu Xiao could say anything, Li Lingyue looked around at the mountain road covered with green trees. At the moment, she only felt quiet, but at night, it would definitely be very scary.

Li Lingyue shook her head hurriedly and said, "I don't dare to come at night."

After saying this, she hurriedly covered her mouth and asked Lu Xiao in a low voice: "Am I not being disrespectful to the Bodhisattva?"

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment by her cute appearance. Her frame was larger than that of ordinary Jiangnan women, and she had a bit of the charm of a Northern woman. However, Lu Xiao did not expect that she would be so cute.

side.

Lu Xiao hurriedly held her hand and said, "Buddha believed in compassion and saving all sentient beings, and he would not care about it."

"That's good." Li Lingyue smiled.

She actually didn't care much about Buddha or Bodhisattva, but she didn't want her pregnancy to be affected in the slightest.

Seeing that she was no longer worried, Lu Xiao turned to look at the old woman aside and said, "If you feel guilty, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain the Bodhisattva's forgiveness even with your piety in going up the mountain alone."

Old woman: "..."

"If you could find peace of mind by burning incense and worshiping Buddha, there would probably be no purgatory in this world." Lu Xiao sighed.

"..."

Seeing the old woman's increasingly pale face, Lu Xiao shook his head and asked you to talk too much. What should you say when you come to Guanyin Hall at night to ask for a child? You can't just allow you to hurt me, but I just laugh it off, right?

Li Lingyue asked in confusion: "How can you say this so calmly?"

"Oh, I just felt inspired when I saw the mountain gate of the Buddhist temple in front of me." Lu Xiao said casually.

Hearing this, Li Lingyue responded without asking any more questions. However, the old woman on the side pointed out that she was walking too slowly and asked Li Lingyue and the others to go first.

Li Lingyue wanted to say something more, but seeing her resolute expression, she had to swallow her words, took Lu Xiao's arm, and walked up the mountain.

After leaving the old woman some distance away, Lu Xiao's mood became brighter. Of course, Mingguang Temple was also close.

Guanyin Hall is on the left side of the second courtyard.

The statue of Avalokitesvara enshrined in the temple is a flawless white jade. Before Lu Xiao and the others, there were pilgrims kneeling down and worshiping devoutly, muttering something in silence that outsiders could not hear clearly.

There were people queuing up behind them, with Lu Xiao and Li Lingyue in third place.

Lu Xiao looked around. There were not many husbands and wives coming to burn incense in the palace. Most of them were a combination of an older woman and a young woman.

It should be mother and daughter or mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Taking a closer look, those with more solemn expressions might be accompanied by the mother-in-law? Of course, this is just Lu Xiao's guess. He has no experience in this area and cannot verify anything.

Finally it was Lu Xiao's turn.

Li Lingyue nervously pulled Lu Xiao's hand and asked in a low voice: "What should I say?"

"Whatever comes to mind, just say it." Lu Xiao said with a smile.

"My mind is completely blank. I don't know anything anymore. What are you going to say?" Li Lingyue asked anxiously.

Lu Xiao patted her hand gently, indicating that she shouldn't be so nervous, and said: "I plan to ask Bodhisattva to give me a pair of twins, a son and a daughter, to form a good word."

"You are so greedy." Although he was being called greedy, Li Lingyue was amused by Lu Xiao's greed, and her nervousness dissipated a lot.

The two of them knelt down on the futon with support.

Li Lingyue immediately closed her eyes and knelt down, with a pious look that was at least ten blocks away from Lu Xiao. But Lu Xiao was a little distracted and even remembered some sentences from the Legend of Wukong.

"I have been to this world, I have fought hard, I have loved deeply, and I don't care about the outcome." "I want this heaven and earth, no longer able to cover my eyes, no longer able to bury my heart, and no more able to bury all living beings.

Understand my intention, I want all those Buddhas to disappear into thin air!” “If God is not greedy, why can’t we tolerate any disrespect towards Him? If God is not evil, why do we want to hold the fate of millions of living beings on earth in our hands?”

Hearing the sound around him, Lu Xiao came back to his senses instantly and saw that Li Lingyue had finished kneeling and was about to get up. Lu Xiao stood up first, then stretched out his hand and pulled her up.

As soon as the two people left the futon and left the area where they were kneeling, Li Lingyue leaned into Lu Xiao's ear and said, "I also prayed for twins like a Bodhisattva, a dragon and a phoenix. The two of us prayed together, and the hope should be bigger."

Just as Lu Xiao was about to speak, he saw a monk wearing bright yellow robes walking up to them, standing in front of them, clasping his hands and saying: "Amitabha, you are the most sincere pilgrims that this poor monk has seen in these months. If you go back,

If your wishes don't come true, you can come to Guanyin Hall at night on the fifteenth day of the next month and sincerely ask for a child, and it will definitely come true."

at night?

Li Lingyue didn't know if she thought of that mountain road, her face changed slightly.

Lu Xiao gave the monk in front of him a meaningful look and said, "I will repeat what you just said word for word like Abbot Rusong."

Li Lingyue knelt down very devoutly before, with her waist lowered very low. No one knew better than Lu Xiao how attractive her round and plump buttocks were when she made this move.
