Chapter 42: What does it mean to see the Buddha in the present and not worship the Buddha in the past?



Shen Yuyao remembered that when Prince Ning left Beijing, he told her that the business "Baoyuanhao" in the city could be used to contact Prince Ning directly at the fastest speed.

It seems that he did not tell Ling Xiangxiang the name of the business. Doesn't he completely trust Ling Xiangxiang?

"Princess, I shouldn't stay here too long."

"If you can think of a way to leave the palace and need my help, you can ask Xue Xin in the Imperial Kitchen to deliver the message."

Ling Xiangxiang pondered for a moment.

"The codeword is, Princess Xiaoxian wants to eat fish."

"Okay, Xiangxiang, the palace is dangerous, take care of yourself."

Shen Yuyao called Zi Su.

"Zi Su, ask Bai Zhi to check if there are any suspicious people near Yuxiu Palace."

Shen Yuyao took out Ling Xiangxiang's cloak, put it on her, and helped her tie the knot.

"If there is any emergency, you can also send someone to Yuxiu Palace to inform me."

Ling Xiangxiang's eyes turned red, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Xiangxiang has made a note of this."

He put on a hood to cover most of his face, lifted the curtain and left.

When the thick cotton door curtain was lifted, a gust of icy wind blew straight into the room.

"The late spring cold chills people to the bone."

The flowers are blooming and the grass is growing.

Early in the morning, Shen Yuyao brought Xiao Xianbao and Xu Yunxuan to Huang'en Temple.

On the fifteenth day of every month, Shen Yuyao would come to Huang'en Temple.

Abbot Huijue of Huang'en Temple was originally named Zhang Sidao. He followed Shen Yuyao's grandfather to learn medicine when he was young, and later followed the Duke in his battles.

I have seen too much suffering, and tasted the joys and sorrows of life...

So when the world was first settled, he chose Huang'en Temple to become a monk, with the Buddhist name Huijue. Now he has become the abbot of Huang'en Temple.

Master Huijue watched Shen Yuyao grow up. Shen Yuyao also liked to discuss Buddhist scriptures and medical skills with this monk uncle, and occasionally play a few games of chess with him.

After Shen Yuyao got married, she rarely talked about Buddhism anymore, but she would personally send some silver to the temple on the fifteenth day of every month.

Abbot Huijue will also use these gold, silver and treasures to help the poor.

However, after the birth of the little fairy, the amount of gold, silver and treasures every month has increased. Abbot Huijue selected several academies this year and sponsored the poor students in the academies so that those truly talented students will not drop out of school because of poverty.

It was a beautiful spring day today, and Shen Yuyao was in a good mood. She specially brought Xia Xiaoxian to Huang'en Temple, intending to play a few games of chess with Abbot Huijue.

The back mountain of Huang'en Temple.

There is a round stone table and two stone benches in the pavilion.

In the early morning, a few golden rays of sunlight shine on the sandalwood chessboard, creating a light mist and emitting a lingering sandalwood fragrance.

A monk in his thirties and a handsome young man were fighting on the chessboard.

There was also a woman in palace dress in the pavilion, with a delicate little baby watching the battle.

The little kid was silent and watched with great interest, like an old monk in meditation.

Ah, this monk...

【You will be the teacher of a country. 】

[Whoever gets this monk will become the ruler of a country...]

[Mother, you must not let any villain get hold of this monk...]

The monk was wearing a moon-white robe and holding a white robe.

The young man was wearing a blue jacket and holding a black stick.

The two men sat opposite each other, their eyes fixed on the chessboard in front of them.

Every move can cause the opponent to think for a long time.

In the simple black and white, it seems like thousands of troops are fighting...

As the sunlight made the shadows of the trees in the mountains shorter and shorter, the frown on the young man in the green robe gradually relaxed. The black pieces he held dotted the chessboard like stars in the night sky. Meanwhile, the monk in the moon-white robe remained calm and composed. The white pieces he held were like clouds in the sky, creating a beautiful contrast with the black pieces.

"A general's daughter faces the chessboard, and she controls the pieces like she's commanding a million soldiers!"

"Haha, I haven't played chess for two years. Yaoyao's chess skills are so good now that I, the monk, can't even come close to her!"

"Master is too modest. Yaoyao narrowly won by half a point."

“Hahahahahaha…”

The two men stood up with a smile, but were stunned by Xu Yunxuan who was watching the chess game.

[The monk is truly too modest. Mother actually failed to see his true strength.]

[Tsk tsk, the monk's strength far exceeds that of my mother by more than ten times!]

Shen Yuyao raised her eyebrows and cast a questioning look at the little fairy treasure.

[Mother, why are you looking at me so strangely? You can't tell what I'm thinking, right?]

Shen Yuyao smiled slightly and quickly looked into the distance.

[Ah, I'm smiling. As long as my mother is happy, that's good!]

[In fact, from watching the chess game, the mother should have known that this monk's heart was in the Way of Heaven...]

[Being born, entering the world, being born again... and again...]

【It’s all fate! 】

Shen Yuyao looked at Master Huijue who was walking in front of her. A ray of sunlight happened to shine through the gaps in the leaves and bathed the master. His whole body seemed to be inlaid with a thin layer of gold, just like a Buddha statue.

Shen Yuyao also found it extremely mysterious.

"Master, Yaoyao still has some questions."

Shen Yuyao took two quick steps and walked parallel to Abbot Huijue.

"Yaoyao, all your questions have been answered in that chess game."

Huijue smiled and clasped his hands together.

"Think about it carefully. If you still can't understand, you can go to Huang'en Temple again."

"Yaoyao, when you go down the mountain, you can bring some donations to the academy halfway up the mountain."

"That academy is on your way back. It was built last year."

"The students in the academy are all from poor families."

"That's fine..."

Shen Yuyao didn't want to make the donation in person, but she thought that since she was wearing men's clothes today, it wouldn't cause any trouble, so she readily agreed.

The two of them were talking as they walked. Just as they were outside the hall, they heard a sharp voice:
