Chapter 372 Being too soft-hearted and kind-hearted is helping others bully you
It seemed like a long time passed without an answer, Jingxin turned around and looked at the woman on the steps. Her face was still calm, without a single ripple, as if she was looking at an old friend.
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes slightly. He was wearing the purest and most flawless white cassock, but for some reason, she felt that this man was a demon who had strayed into Buddhism.
But although he was called a monster, his eyes were too clear, filled with infinite compassion and carrying the divinity that could purify the soul.
Qiao Wanyan walked down the stairs, "Life is born without meaning, but we can create our own meaning."
Jingxin was silent for a moment after hearing this, then asked, "What do you think, benefactor?"
Ziyuan pointed at herself, somewhat unexpectedly that he suddenly asked her.
"I don't know. I saw that everyone was alive, so I lived. I can't die, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Jingxin and Qiao Wanyan looked at her at the same time.
"Ziyuan, the sun is a bit strong, please go find me an umbrella."
Ziyuan nodded and left.
Jingxin retracted her gaze and looked at the small flowers blooming under the Bodhi tree. "Where are you going from Beijing? If you don't mind, you can take the temple's carriage to leave or return to Beijing."
Qiao Wanyan: "I originally planned to come to the National Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, but I never expected to encounter disaster. Fortunately, I met Abbot Jingxin, otherwise I would have encountered disaster."
Jingxin said calmly: "Everything in the world is caused by cause and effect. The donor is a blessed person."
Qiao Wanyan raised her lips and smiled. At the beginning, this calm master said that he had committed heavy sins of killing, but now the disciple says that he is a blessed person.
It's really ridiculous.
Qiao Wanyan said, "I heard that my elder sister often came to the National Temple to be a benefactor some time ago, and the abbot said that she has wisdom. How can I be a blessed person? My elder sister is the blessed person."
Abbot Jingxin's expression remained calm, "The donor's elder sister is..."
"The Minister of Revenue's eldest sister, Qiao Yihuan." Qiao Wanyan stared at his profile and spoke every word.
After thinking carefully, "Those who come to the temple to do good deeds are all blessed people. But there are too many donors in the temple, so I can't remember who it is for the moment."
Qiao Wanyan was a little surprised. She had thought of many possibilities before coming here, but had never imagined this would be the case.
Having gotten the answer she wanted, she did not continue the topic.
She has nothing to do with Qiao Yihuan and will not be a help to Qiao Yihuan, so why should she dirty her hands?
"I heard that Abbot Jingxin was raised by Abbot Zhiyuan himself and was personally taught by him. No wonder he was able to become an abbot at such a young age."
Jingxin was silent for a moment after hearing this. A breeze blew on his face, blowing up the robes on his body.
"Master, you are a very good person. Although you are not good at speaking in a roundabout way, I think you are the most pure and kind person in the world."
After saying this, he lowered his eyes and said, "I miss him so much."
Qiao Wanyan still looked at him, staring at every subtle expression on his face, but she only saw longing and regret.
"I also had the opportunity to meet Abbot Zhiyuan a few years ago, but fate played tricks on me. I never thought that Abbot Zhiyuan would encounter such a terrible thing. If he were still alive today, Abbot Jingxin would probably smile more and not look so lonely."
Look at her calmly.
Qiao Wanyan added: "If those bandits fell into the hands of Abbot Jingxin, would he persuade them to lay down their butcher knives and become Buddhas, or would he kill the bandits himself to avenge his master?"
Jing Xin: "Since you have entered Buddhism, how can you threaten life and death? All living beings suffer, and all have Buddha nature. If you can let go of your ill will and start anew, everything can start over again."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "The abbot is a very kind person."
People who are kind-hearted and soft-hearted are the ones without blessings.
Being overly soft-hearted and kind-hearted is helping others bully you.
Master, Master, we are not related by blood but we are no different from my father.
If someone killed her father, she would be considered incompetent if she didn't kill the entire family of that person.
To save others and put oneself at the wronged place can happen to anyone, but never to oneself.
Qiao Wanyan said, "I will set off for Beijing early tomorrow morning. I will send someone to bring the carriage of the National Temple back tomorrow. Thank you, Abbot."
After saying this, she nodded slightly and turned to leave.
He watched her back disappear from his sight quietly. After a long time, he turned back to look at the wild flowers growing firmly in the cracks of the bluestone slabs under his feet.
After a while, the courtyard became completely quiet.
The strong and growing wild flower was strangled and crushed.
The flower juice wet the ground.
The weather was comfortable in the afternoon. Qiao Wanyan was feeding the fish by the koi pond when she heard the whispered conversation of pilgrims in the distance.
"This is really unexpected. Who could have thought that such a big thing would happen?"
"That's right. I was shocked when I heard my father talk about it. His Highness the Crown Prince was a very kind and gentle man. Who could have thought that he would be deposed and become a commoner?"
"What did you say?!"
The two young girls were stunned for a moment when they looked at the woman in front of them, and one of them recognized her.
"Miss Qiao Er?"
Qiao Wanyan frowned and questioned, "You just said that the prince was deposed?"
How is that possible? The crown prince would not be easily deposed unless he made a serious mistake!
The girl nodded, "Second Miss, don't you know? Now the news has spread all over the capital that the Crown Prince and the Prince of Xiling conspired to kill King Jing, and now he has been deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in the Eastern Palace."
Another person also said: "That's right. The capital is under strict martial law and searches are extremely strict. It is said that the Prince of Xiling has escaped and they are searching for him with all their might."
"Yes, it's a mess. In order to make up for King Jing, the emperor gave King Jing a group of personal soldiers. I'm afraid the position of crown prince will belong to King Jing in the future."
"Don't talk nonsense. Aren't you afraid of losing your head if you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?"
Qiao Wanyan's face was gloomy. She remembered that the storybook she had read before did not mention that the prince was deposed. But she had not finished reading the storybook at that time, so it was difficult to determine whether the prince was deposed in the subsequent story.
But no matter what, the prince must have been deposed and replaced, because Liu Yanran said that the prince and Qiao Yihuan became the emperor and empress and loved each other for their whole lives.
Liu Yanran? !
Qiao Wanyan turned and left, and the two young girls looked at each other, seemingly not understanding what was wrong with her.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Qiao Wanyan's eyes became sinister, cold, heavy and frightening.
"I was so foolish that I forgot about her!"
"Who are you talking about, miss?"
Qiao Wanyan said coldly, "I asked Lu Jinye to bring Liu Yanran's father and brother to the capital before. I was so caught up in all the chaos during this period that I completely forgot about this matter! Get ready and return to the capital immediately."
Zi Yuan said, "But Miss, it is already late today. If we go back to the capital, we will definitely not be able to get home before dark. It is dangerous at night, and I did not bring any secret guards this time. I dare not take the risk."
Qiao Wanyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, let's go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning."
The crown prince was deposed, Prince Jing gained control of his own army, and Chen Che disappeared.
She shouldn't have left Beijing yesterday!
