Chapter 159 Yongning
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
The master bedroom door was pushed open a crack.
Fu Zheng walked in quietly, with a faint smell of alcohol on his body, and approached the big bed step by step.
"Meow——" Wen Liang's cat roommate discovered him.
"Shh-"
Fu Zheng placed the opened can in front of his roommate Wen Liang.
The roommate sniffed it cautiously and started eating it voraciously.
Fu Zheng gently touched Tuantuan's head, stood up and walked to the big bed.
Under the moonlight, Wenliang's sleeping face was calm and peaceful, with her eyebrows frowning.
Fu Zheng couldn't take his eyes off her for a long time.
He sat down gently on the bed, and his fingers stroked her smooth and delicate face as lightly as feathers.
Only at this time could he get so close to Wen Liang without seeing her cold and disgusted eyes.
He was afraid to see that look in her eyes.
Fu Zheng, who was decisive, confident and calm in the business war, also had moments of fear.
If he had heard this sentence in the past, he would have definitely laughed it off and ignored it.
But the moment he understood his own feelings, he knew that he had an extra bond called Wen Liang that could never be untied.
They had spent more than two years of marriage in peace and harmony, and had been closely intertwined on this big bed, in perfect harmony. They had been an enviable loving couple in the eyes of his aunt, but he had failed to cherish all of this.
In the past, he was too conceited!
He knew that she would never forgive him again!
When she returns from Lingyun Temple, she will no longer be his wife!
They have no relationship anymore!
After the divorce, she should be with Zhou Yu, right?!
At this moment, Fu Zheng didn't know how jealous he was of Zhou Yu, he was almost going crazy with jealousy!
Fu Zheng's gaze fell on Wenliang's plump and tender red lips. His eyes darkened and he leaned over and kissed her without hesitation.
Warm, soft, and sweet, just like in his memory, it made him addicted and unable to extricate himself.
This may be the last time.
Fu Zheng closed his eyes and indulged himself wantonly.
After a long time, he raised his head, stared at the cool and gentle sleeping face, and gently kissed her forehead.
"Aliang, I love you."
No one heard it.
Fu Zheng quietly stood up and left.
Apart from the lingering smell of alcohol in the air and the can under Tuantuan's mouth, no one knew he had been there.
The next morning, Wen Liang and Fu Zheng set out for Lingyun Temple with extremely pious hearts.
They didn't let anyone follow them, so there were only the two of them in the car, Fu Zheng was the driver, and Wen Liang was sitting in the back seat.
When getting in the car, Wen Liang discovered that there was a box on the back seat above the driver's seat.
The first moment he saw it, three big words emerged in Wen Liang's mind - urn.
She was silent for a moment, bit her lower lip, and her voice trembled slightly, "This is..."
Fu Zheng looked at Wen Liang through the rearview mirror and nodded gently, "These are our child's ashes."
When Fu Zheng got the aborted fetus, he thought about letting Wen Liang take a look, but he was afraid that it would aggravate Wen Liang's condition, so he finally took the initiative and cremated him.
"Lingyun Temple has a hall for the dead, where ashes can be stored. I want to place his ashes there, listen to the sutras and the Dharma, and practice in front of the Buddha."
Wen Liang picked up the ashes and nodded slightly.
She gently stroked the surface of the urn, as if she were caressing a child.
…
Lingyun Temple is located in City C, and it was already noon when they arrived.
The temple is located at the end of Qixia Road in City C. It has a history of hundreds of years. Although the building has been renovated again and again, it is still not difficult to see the historical charm.
It is said that Lingyin Temple was located in the suburbs of City C when it was first built. It was only after hundreds of years of development and expansion that the area of City C increased and it became what it is today, surrounded by residential areas.
Wen Liang got out of the car holding the ashes tightly.
Fu Zheng had given greetings in advance, and a young monk led them to a separate small building at the back. Wen Liang raised his head and took a look, only to see the words "Wangsheng Hall" written on the plaque of the small building.
After entering, you will see an entire wall in front of you covered with square boxes, each of which contains ashes.
There are also differences in the ashes in the Hall of Rebirth.
The first floor is for ordinary citizens, the second floor is for Buddhist laypeople who practice at home, the third floor is for aborted babies, and there is also a Haihui Pagoda to house the ashes of monks.
Under the guidance of the young monk, Wen Liang personally placed the ashes into the storage box and locked it.
Afterwards, the young monk led them to the Hall of Rebirth on the west side behind the main hall of the temple.
The Hall of Rebirth is located on a high ground, with a high staircase in front of it.
There are 81 steps in total, representing that only after 81 difficulties can one achieve enlightenment and be reborn in paradise.
Fu Zheng held Wen Liang's hand, looked pious, and walked up the stairs step by step.
The Three Holy Ones of the West are enshrined in the hall: Amitabha Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
Wen Liang followed the little monk around a wall and saw countless yellow tablets behind the wall.
The young novice monk explained, "In the eyes of Buddhists, memorial tablets are passes to the Western Paradise. The yellow seats are lotus seats for salvation. They are memorial tablets set up by the living for the deceased to help them attain salvation."
"By offering tablets for the spirits of aborted babies and listening to the Dharma for a long time, one can receive the blessings of the Three Jewels, accumulate merit, and be reborn in the Pure Land sooner. This can also help the parents of the babies break through their delusion and attain enlightenment, allowing them to start a new life."
"Shall we offer a tablet for him?" Although it was a question, Fu Zheng's tone revealed certainty.
"Okay." Wen Liang nodded.
"The name of the owner of the tablet needs to be written on it. Please give him a name." said the little monk.
Fu Zheng and Wen Liang looked at each other.
Fu Zheng said, "Come on."
Wen Liang sniffed the strong aroma of incense in the temple and said, "Let's call him Yongning. I hope he will always be at peace."
"good."
The monks in the hall set up a memorial tablet for Yongning.
A perpetual lamp was placed in front of the tablet, which was lit personally by Fu Zheng and Wen Liang.
The moment the lights were lit, they were dim and solemn, and Wenliang's eyes couldn't help but fill with tears.
Baby, this is the only thing a mother can do for you.
In this life, we are not destined to be mother and son.
May you always be at peace in another world and ascend to paradise soon.
"Can I visit him often in the future?" Wen Liang asked with a sob.
"Can."
Fu Zheng wiped away the tears from Wen Liang's face with a distressed look on his face. His heart felt like the sea was flooding back into his body, bitter and astringent.
He wanted to grab Wen Liang's hand and tell her: Aliang, I was wrong. I didn't see my own heart clearly. Can you give me another chance? I will love you well in the future, and we will go to see the child together!
He knew it was impossible and that he was no longer worthy, but he still held on to unrealistic expectations.
Wen Liang looked at him and said, "Okay, let's go back. If we go back now, the Civil Affairs Bureau might not be closed yet."
Fu Zheng's heart sank to the bottom, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue were not spoken in the end.
He stretched out half of his hand, froze in mid-air for a few seconds, and finally reached into his pocket and took out a lighter and cigarette case.
"Sorry, benefactor, smoking is not allowed in the temple." The young monk reminded.
"Sorry." Fu Zheng put the lighter and cigarette box back, closed his eyes silently, and there was a darkness in his eyes.
