Puhui Temple.
Master Jingyuan shaved off Linghu Lan's long black hair.
Perfume was sprayed on the top.
Change into your monastic robes.
The ceremony is over.
Master Jingyuan said respectfully, "The Regent is of noble status, and this humble nun dares not accept him as a disciple. I can only accept him as a student on behalf of my master. From now on, you will be this humble nun's junior sister, with the Dharma name Jingshan!"
"Yes! Thank you, Senior Sister."
Linghu Lan touched her bald head.
I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
After all, he's been a ghost, so he's mentally strong enough.
only……
When Hongchen appeared before her with his bald head, she was still taken aback.
It's truly one of a kind that looks this good even with a shaved head.
"Amitabha Buddha, what brings Master Hongchen here?"
Linghu Lan clasped her hands together, her expression calm.
Hongchen looked at her bald head and couldn't help but laugh, his eyes crinkling with laughter.
I've come to see you!
Linghu Lan instantly sensed that something was different.
I was stunned for three seconds.
She exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
Master Jingyuan: "..."
"Junior sister, you have broken the rules!"
As Hongchen laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.
"I have already returned to secular life!"
Linghu Lan: "..."
Master Jingyuan: “ooo|||”
Linghu Lan's face twisted involuntarily.
wipe!
This is just teasing me, poor thing, all that black hair of mine!!!
She glared at Hongchen, who smiled and bowed to her repeatedly.
"I was wrong!"
Linghu Lan felt a little better. She turned her head, looked at Master Jingyuan, and squeezed out a sentence with difficulty.
"Senior sister, I...I want to return to secular life!"
Master Jingyuan was devastated. Even after years of practicing Buddhism, she had never encountered anything like this before. Her lips twitched, and she murmured Buddhist mantras several times.
It took him a while to calm down, and as his thoughts raced, he regained his composure.
This is a good thing; at least Baoguang Temple and Puhui Temple have been preserved.
Furthermore, the reputation of the two Buddhist temples will be further enhanced because the regent once became a monk here.
She clasped her hands together and said, "This is a good thing! Congratulations to the Regent and the Young Master Hongchen."
Linghu Lan and Hongchen bowed in return.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"
"You two are destined to be with the Buddha. Even if you no longer become monks in a temple, you can still practice as lay Buddhists. Amitabha!"
"yes!"
"What are the plans of the Regent and the Young Master of the Mortal World?"
Linghu Lan stood beside Hongchen and smiled, "I have already returned power to His Majesty and am no longer the Regent. If you don't mind, you can still call me Junior Sister."
She glanced at Hongchen. "What are your plans?"
“The wife sings, the husband follows!” Hongchen blushed, looked at the sky, but spoke frankly.
Linghu Lan breathed a sigh of relief; her doting husband was back.
"Over the years, I have been confined to the palace. After returning to secular life, I have no intention of going back. I just want to travel around the Yu Kingdom."
Master Jingyuan chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "That's very good! Traveling the world is something that we Buddhists often do. However, I have one more question. I won't feel at ease until I get to the bottom of it!"
"Please speak freely, senior sister."
"Young Master of the Mortal World, why have you suddenly returned to secular life? Forgive my bluntness, but this matter is far too abrupt!"
Hongchen blushed and said, "To be honest, my master said that I studied Buddhism when I was young and was enlightened at an early age, severing my seven emotions and six desires. The prince of the Buddhist kingdom became a monk after experiencing the worldly splendor, which is why he severed his seven emotions and six desires. Now, I have severed my worldly desires without experiencing them, which is not conducive to my cultivation. That's why I was sent out to travel. However, when I was being blessed with incense, I suddenly remembered some past events."
He glanced at Linghu Lan and said slowly, "Only now do I realize that my destiny lies in the mortal world, not in Buddhism."
