The morning fragrance is like mist surrounding the lotus platform, and the Buddhist chanting is like the sea ferrying monks across the sea.
One thought enlightens you to the cause and effect, and you light a green lamp before the Buddha for half your life.
When I saw Mo Ming again, he had become a real monk, and he kept calling him "donor" and "poor monk", which seemed quite decent.
When he heard that Xu Jiang wanted to borrow a map, he went to get it for her without asking why, and also gave her a notebook.
Xu Jiang flipped through it casually. In addition to the scenery, the notebook also recorded the reliable friends Mo Ming made in various inns, post stations, and checkpoints.
“If you encounter difficulties during your journey, you can seek help from these people. Just say you are Mo Ming’s friends and they will definitely help.”
"Thank you very much."
Mo Ming looked at the wound on her forehead, chanted a few words of "Amitabha," and warned her, "Cause and effect are simultaneous, and the Dharma is not alone. Now that the donor is entangled in the consequences of his karma, he should be cautious in all his actions."
To put it in simple terms, it means: be careful in everything.
Xu Jiang bowed to him and said, "Amitabha."
Mo Ming sighed.
Xu Jiang smiled again and said, "I can save myself the trouble."
He then returned her a Buddhist salute, "Amitabha."
Before leaving Da Ci'en Temple, Xu Jiang thought of the team of Western monks mentioned in "Journey to Suiye City" and asked Mo Ming for advice.
Mo Ming was not quite sure either, so he said he would go back and ask the group of Western monks who came with him. They were also from the Western Regions and might have some clues.
After Xu Jiang thanked him, she said goodbye to him. Then she thought for a while, turned back to him and asked him to lead her to pray for peace and blessings before going to the nearby East Market.
The rest was to buy the necessary items, such as cloaks, cloaks, boots and other windproof clothing. There were also emergency items such as water bags, flints, and medicine bags. Nothing else could be brought, as it would be a burden.
In addition to the official post station, there are also inns, hotels, and shops on the left road of Liangzhou, and many things can be purchased on the road.
According to the wealthy Lou Shaoqing, as long as you bring enough money, everything will be fine.
After shopping, Xu Jiang returned to Yonghefang and went to Qianjinfang again to ask Doctor Chen to prescribe some medicine in case of emergency.
Doctor Chen checked her injuries and couldn't help but nag her again.
By the time we had packed everything and returned to the bookstore, it was almost noon.
The summer heat is rising, and the cicadas are chirping like thunder. Fortunately, I got up early and brewed some summer tea, which I have left in a jar. It is just the right time to drink it, refreshing and thirst-quenching.
Xu Jiang poured a large bowl for himself and each of his guards, drank it all in one breath, and felt refreshed all over.
Then she poured some more water for the stubborn donkey, which had been exhausted from the trip and was drooping from the heat. As soon as Xu Jiang poured the water into the trough, it eagerly dove in.
Xu Jiang patted its head and went to cut grass for it.
Liang Mo fetched water to wash it to dissipate heat. Donkeys are more susceptible to heatstroke than humans, and once they do, it is difficult to treat, so it is better to be careful.
The stubborn donkey was so pleased with the service that he leaned against him as if he had seen his real father.
While Liang Mo was cleaning the stubborn donkey, he said, "Boss, someone from the Imperial College came this morning and asked if you have a small portrait of our master. They want to use it to make a print and insert it into a book."
He regarded Xu Jiang as a half-master, so naturally he respectfully called Xu Yuan his master.
"Yes." This idea coincided with Xu Jiang's. She had come up with this idea the night before when she was repairing her master's portrait. "I just happened to have some new board material. I'll carve it myself and send it to them after it's done."
Liang Mo agreed repeatedly, "That's good, no one understands him better than you."
Xu Jiang smiled and asked, "How is the engraving of 'New Edition of Mathematics' going?"
"It's going much smoother. We'll be able to start printing in seven or eight days at most."
"This is my first job at the Imperial College, so I can't let it get away with it."
"Don't worry, boss. If it doesn't work for me, I won't ask for my wages."
Xu Jiang was overjoyed. "Then I'll wait and see."
Hearing the laughter coming from the yard, Xu Si, who was eavesdropping on the back wall, was so angry that he was fuming. She had hurt him and Lao Wu like this, and yet she could still laugh!
"Laugh, laugh, laugh! Wait until I get this bookstore back, and then I'll see if you can still laugh."
Feng Miao squatted in the shadow of a nearby cypress tree and reminded him, "Keep your voice down. Be careful not to be discovered or alert the enemy."
The two were ordered to monitor Lou Yunchun and Xu Jiang. If their whereabouts were exposed, they would be imprisoned if caught. If they escaped without being caught, they would also be in great trouble. Now that Zhou Huai was gaining favor with Prince Ying, he treated him even less like a human being.
Xu Si rolled his eyes and cursed, "Is it your turn to control me?"
Feng Miao had become accustomed to his foolishness and did not bother to argue with him. "I'm just worried that you'll get me into trouble."
"Can I get you? Do you really think you're that great?" Ever since Feng Miao took him to Qingque Garden, he'd assumed he was superior to him and lectured him everywhere. "I hate hypocritical hypocrites like you the most."
If I hadn't thought he was still useful to me, I would have beaten him eight hundred times.
For now, I can only vent my anger. "If you love preaching so much, why don't you take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official? Don't you like it?"
"Oh..." he said sarcastically, "So you didn't pass the exam."
Feng Miao looked at Xu Si expressionlessly.
If this idiot hadn't been useful to me, I would have died eight hundred times already.
After Liang Mo finished washing the donkey, he heard some noise outside and shouted, "Who's outside?" and wanted to go outside to look.
Xu Si fell silent immediately, and then he heard footsteps coming towards the corner gate. He quickly ran along the ditch to the corner of another house. Feng Miao was faster than him and quickly passed in front of him, almost making him fall.
He muttered under his breath, "Short-lived ghost, are you rushing to reincarnate?" before quickly following him and turning around the corner.
Liang Mo came out from the corner door, walked to the back wall and looked back and forth several times, but did not see any figure.
