After Lechen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards one of the rooms. Jiang Jingyu casually placed the bamboo tube in his hand beside the fish pond and followed him.
After walking into the room, Jiang Jingyu realized that the room looked ordinary from the outside, just an ordinary bamboo house, but it was a different world when she went inside.
The room is very spacious and is separated by a bamboo curtain in the middle. As soon as you walk into the room, you will see a tall Buddha statue. There is an incense stand in front of the Buddha statue. As soon as you enter, a faint fragrance wafts into your nose.
Apart from the Buddha statue, the incense table and two cushions, there is nothing else in the Buddhist hall. It is very simple and clean.
Jiang Jingyu looked around the Buddhist hall, then turned her gaze to the bamboo curtain on one side. She was about to see what was behind the curtain when Lechen turned around and looked at her.
"Praying to the Buddha can make people calm and peaceful, forgetting their distracting thoughts. It will be beneficial to the curse on you. From today on, you will pray to the Buddha with me in the temple for one hour every day."
These words were told to Liaochen by Master Jingkong. Liaochen has always believed in Master Jingkong's words.
After Liaochen finished speaking, he took the lead and sat cross-legged on one of the cushions, twisting the beads in one hand and beating the wooden fish in front of him with the other hand, a standard Buddhist posture.
Seeing this, Jiang Jingyu had to give up her intention to check behind the bamboo curtain and sat down on the cushion beside Chen.
She glanced at Lechen, who was beating the wooden fish with his eyes closed beside her. She saw him mumbling something silently, so she leaned over curiously, wanting to hear what he was mumbling.
A faint fragrance came, and Liaochen paused in beating the wooden fish and slowly opened his eyes.
When he glanced sideways, he saw the crystal clear earlobe and the clearly visible jaw in front of him.
The distance between the two was very close, so close that the fine hairs on Jiang Jingyu's face could be seen clearly under the sunlight.
After the sound of the wooden fish stopped, Jiang Jingyu turned her head to look at Lechen in confusion. Their eyes suddenly met. At such a close distance, Jiang Jingyu's gaze could not help but look at Lechen's facial features.
His picturesque eyebrows, straight nose, and thin lips all became part of her sight.
When Jiang Jingyu looked at Lechen, Lechen kept glancing at her sideways, observing the trajectory of her gaze through her clear pupils.
Jiang Jingyu unscrupulously looked at Lechen's facial features, and felt in her heart that this face was truly a carefully crafted work of the goddess Nuwa.
Everything looks just right.
"Princess."
Liaochen suddenly called out to Jiang Jingyu, and his voice, like the echo of a deep valley, instantly brought Jiang Jingyu back from her thoughts.
Jiang Jingyu, who was caught, didn't know what it meant to feel guilty. She looked at Lechen with a frank face: "Master Lechen, there is no need to be so formal. I have a name, Jiang Jingyu. Master Lechen, you can call me by my name directly, Jingyu or Yu'er."
Jiang Jingyu winked at Chen as she spoke, looking at him expectantly, wondering what he would call her.
However, Lechen silently withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again.
“When reciting the scriptures, you need to concentrate and calm your mind.”
He gave a reminder and then continued to beat the wooden fish and chant.
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyebrows, straightened her body back on her cushion, and imitated Lechen to beat the wooden fish in front of her.
Jiang Jingyu struck the wooden fish in a random manner, as if she was completing a task. After striking for about half an incense stick of time, her hands were sore that she couldn't stand it anymore.
She shook her sore wrist. At this time, Luochen, who heard the sound of the wooden fish next to her stop, opened his eyes. Seeing that Jiang Jingyu had only knocked for half an incense stick of time before kneading her wrist, he did not blame her. Reciting scriptures and worshiping Buddha also requires gradual progress.
Lechen put the wooden hammer used to hit the wooden fish aside, stood up and walked towards the bamboo curtain next to him.
"Come with me."
Jiang Jingyu was also very curious about what was behind the bamboo curtain, so she quickly lifted her skirt and stood up to follow.
She originally thought that there was a poetic tea room behind the bamboo curtain where she and Liaochen could recite poems and paint. However, when she saw the room full of Buddhist scriptures, Jiang Jingyu was stunned.
No, she won't be asked to recite Buddhist scriptures, right?
Jiang Jingyu stopped outside the bamboo curtain and didn't want to take a step inside.
What you fear will come true. Liaochen walked to the bookshelf filled with Buddhist scriptures, took out a copy of the Heart Cleansing Mantra and said to Jiang Jingyu, "In addition to worshiping Buddha and reciting scriptures, copying Buddhist scriptures will also help to eliminate the curse in your body."
Seeing the thick Buddhist scriptures in his hand, Jiang Jingyu's eyes widened: "Copying, copying Buddhist scriptures? It's so thick?"
Copying such a thick volume of Buddhist scriptures already made Jiang Jingyu very uncomfortable, but Lechen's next words directly threw her into a cold pond.
"There are ten volumes of the Meditation Mantra, and this is just one of them."
Bang!
Jiang Jingyu staggered and almost fell, and only managed to steady herself by grabbing the bamboo curtain beside her.
Seeing her resistance, Liaochen said sympathetically, "If you don't want to copy it, that's fine. Memorizing it will have the same effect."
Jiang Jingyu gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words: "I copied!"
How long will it take her to memorize ten volumes of thick Buddhist scriptures?
She is here to pull the Buddhist down from the altar, not to recite Buddhist scriptures and ascend to heaven with him!
Jiang Jingyu walked towards the desk in front of Lechen with heavy steps. It was only a few steps away, but she walked as if she had walked eighteen thousand miles.
He finally arrived at the desk step by step. After seeing the thick book of Heart Purification Mantra on the desk, the light in Jiang Jingyu's eyes dimmed and he sat down in front of the desk with a feeling of despair.
Liaochen remembered his master's advice and specially prepared cinnabar as ink for Jiang Jingyu.
Jiang Jingyu opened the first page of the Qingxin Mantra with trembling hands. After reading the scriptures, she almost put her face on the Buddhist scriptures and found that she still couldn't understand it at all.
She looked up at Lechen and asked for help: "Master Lechen, I don't understand."
Liaochen looked down at her and said, "First, copy a few pages and calm down. I will explain the meaning to you."
"oh."
Jiang Jingyu lowered his head again, picked up the wolf hair brush beside him, dipped it in cinnabar, and then began to draw the talisman according to the contents of the Qingxin Mantra.
Looking at her carefully copying the Heart Purification Mantra, a barely perceptible smile flashed across Lechen's eyes.
The master told him that Princess Daye had been spoiled and undisciplined since she was a child, but in his opinion, that was not entirely true. In his eyes, this spoiled princess was actually very obedient.
Jiang Jingyu was carefully drawing talismans on the rice paper, while Liaochen went to the bookshelf again and took out another scripture.
Rather than calling it a scripture, it is better to call it a miscellaneous book of strange stories.
He opened the book and searched for information about the witch clan's curses and nightmares, wanting to find a way to remove the curse from Jiang Jingyu as soon as possible.
Although Jiang Jingyu stayed with Lechen the whole day, the relationship between the two was not close at all.
At night, when Jiang Jingyu was about to go to bed, someone knocked on the door. She bent down to put on her half-taken boots, turned around and ran to the door to open it.
"Master Liaochen?"
"I'll keep watch tonight, you can sleep peacefully."
