Chapter 826 Young Buddhist
When Xu Shiyun returned home, Rong Che was already waiting at the door.
He first carried Cancan down, and then helped Yunniang out of the carriage.
"Is the temple fair lively today? Did you go... to worship in the temple?" Rong Che asked casually.
Yunniang was leading Cancan up the steps: "The temple was packed with people, there was no way to get in, we just looked around."
"Cancan is a naughty kid, so I didn't dare to stay for long, so I went back home early."
"When we have time, let's go together." Yunniang said with a smile, and there was nothing unusual in her tone.
Only then did Rong Che feel relieved.
"Is Shanshan ready to finish school?"
"This child is very obedient now. He doesn't cause any worries for us at all."
Rong Che smiled. Witnessing Chao Chao's sacrifice with his own eyes had a great shock to him, and it also had a huge impact on Shan Shan.
If possible, he would rather Shanshan remained the same as usual.
"His brothers and sisters are both outstanding people. He must be under some pressure." Rong Che just responded with a smile.
After everyone had dinner, Shanshan slowly went home holding her Buddhist beads.
Ever since Chaochao left, Shanshan didn't say anything, but her temperament... became dull, and she often stared in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
At night, Xie Chengxi came to Lu's house and chatted with Lu Yanshu in the study for half the night.
We didn't leave until dawn.
Now everyone has a sense of urgency. They may have once had hope for the divine world, but now there is only panic.
The disciples of Chaoyang Sect did not dare to stop for even a moment and practiced day and night.
Students from all over the country study hard, use books to gain enlightenment, and can also cultivate integrity and save the country from danger.
Everyone became busy.
Day after day, year after year.
The leaves on the trees turn green, then yellow, and then yellow and then green again.
Soon, news spread that the world had its first female scholar.
The female scholar was no more than ten years old. She was cute and lovely, but there was always a trace of sadness between her brows, which made her look more calm.
She was like a sharp sword, breaking through the siege with countless women standing behind her.
Everyone watched her win the first place, the second place, and the third place in the imperial examinations one after another.
At that time, she was not yet thirteen years old.
During the many years since the founding of Northern Zhao, there were only four people who won the top three places in the imperial examinations.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanping, three were obtained.
Lu Yanshu, Lu Yuanxiao, Yuzhu.
What is most surprising is that these three people all have close ties with Princess Chaoyang.
Emperor Xuanping knew that people had been in panic in recent years, so he immediately issued a general amnesty.
He also exempted the people from taxes for three years, giving them a chance to breathe.
Soon, female students led by Yao Yuzhu began to emerge.
Yao Yuzhu became the first female number one scholar in history. The Yao family came to her house several times to ask for recognition as their relative, but were beaten away every time.
She was alone, carrying a pot of wine, and knelt in front of Lu Chaochao's grave to pay her respects.
"Yuzhu lived up to her mission and finally completed the task you entrusted to me."
"You have opened a bright and brilliant path for women all over the world, but you yourself cannot see it..." Yuzhu stayed in front of the grave for a long time.
On the second day, she entered the court as the first female official.
All the civil and military officials in the court were dismayed. Who could have thought that the bet with Princess Chaoyang would actually bring good fortune to the woman.
At this moment, Yuzhu stood beautifully in the court. From then on, women had a say in this world.
She led many women and fought for more status little by little.
Gradually, it gained great appeal among the people.
After her, female students emerged like mushrooms after rain. The second female scholar, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and countless others...
It had only been three years since she entered the court, but Yao Yuzhu's name had already spread throughout the country.
At that time, Lu Chaochao had been sacrificed for six years.
The temple built for her was solemn and dignified, with a lot of incense. Everyone in the Lu family had gone in to worship, except Xu Shiyun, who had never set foot there.
"Master Qingwei will come to Beijing to discuss Taoism tomorrow. Do you want to go and listen?" After six years of hard work, Rong Che's brows were covered with wrinkles.
Xu Shiyun was sitting in front of the window with her eyes closed, and Dengzhi gently rubbed her temples.
"Go ahead. Princess Jingxi hasn't seen Yuzhou for six years. She has come to me several times and wants to go see him together."
In these six years, Master Qingwei has become a world-famous monk.
"Children are debts. Princess, I'm afraid you will never be able to let go of them in this lifetime." Xu Shiyun sighed softly. As she spoke, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she suddenly closed her mouth.
"Madam, do you want to see a doctor for your eye disease?"
"Why are things getting worse day by day?" The lady's eyes hurt when exposed to wind, and tears flowed when exposed to light.
Xu Shiyun shook her head: "It's not a big problem, they are just minor problems, not serious."
When I went out, many people were already sitting cross-legged in the square. They had all come to see Master Qingwei.
In the center of the high platform, sat a young Buddhist boy in monk's robes.
In just six years, he has transformed from a naughty young boy who is ignorant of the ways of the world into a mature, steady and respectable contemporary Buddhist.
There was a hint of compassion between his brows, but his eyes were extremely firm.
The little prince who once made people cry because he looked like his father is only of average appearance. Now that he has become a monk, the pure and elegant aura he exudes suits him perfectly, and there is even a sense of unattainable holiness.
Many girls around even blushed.
"How come Master Qingwei is so... handsome? If you say he is a young master from an aristocratic family, some people would believe it."
Someone beside him covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "You don't know yet, he is actually the prince."
"He was originally the eldest son of Prince Jingxi, a legitimate prince. He was also a playboy since childhood..."
The people around were stunned: "Oh, how come he left home?"
"This is tremendous wealth, this is true royalty."
The person who spoke shook his head: "No one knows why, but when the outside world found out, he was already a high-ranking monk. Some people in the outside world also said that he was born a son of Buddha and should have returned to Buddhism. It is said that when he was born, a high monk wanted to take him to become a monk." Speaking of it, it is quite a legend.
"No wonder Princess Jingxi cried as she stared at him. How could she not cry when her eldest son became a monk?"
Princess Jingxi wiped her tears with red eyes. Who could have thought that Xie Yuzhou, the fearless little tyrant back then, would now have a peaceful look on his face, compassionate to all living beings.
Yunniang sighed softly and watched the Buddhist disciple discussing scriptures with everyone.
As the sun was setting and the meeting was about to end, someone suddenly asked a question.
"Buddhist son, what is the biggest difficulty you have encountered since you were born? Is it to become a monk or to save all sentient beings?"
People in the world are all stupid, so it is so difficult to save all living beings.
As for becoming a monk, he was born a prince, but it must have been extremely difficult for him to become a monk.
Qingwei Buddhist disciple was momentarily dazed, but soon he put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name: "Although the two are difficult, my mind is firm, so it's nothing."
"Then what is the most difficult thing in the world for Buddhists?" the person asking the question continued.
The solemn Buddhist suddenly revealed a faint smile that is unique to young people.
At that moment, it was like the Buddha's light was shining everywhere.
