Abbot Wuyou of the White Horse Temple is a well-known and enlightened monk.
No one knew how old he was. Before Old Madam Jiang got married, Master Wuyou had already become the abbot of the White Horse Temple.
When Mrs. Jiang was still a young girl, she went to the White Horse Temple to pray for marriage. Master Wuyou interpreted her fortune and said that she was destined to have a noble son, and that because of her son, she would enjoy a life of wealth and glory.
Master Wuyou reminded Madam Jiang that her child could bring her a lifetime of honor, but God is jealous of talented people and people are treacherous, so it is very likely that the child will die young.
Later, Old Lady Jiang married into the Jiang family and taught the concubines' sons and daughters carefully. After she gave birth to her own child, she was not overly partial to him and even allowed Jiang Chu to grow up wildly.
She doesn't want wealth and glory, as long as her children can live a peaceful life.
Jiang Chu was very smart and good at studying. At the age of 20, he took part in the imperial examination and won the top spot. However, he did not choose to become an official in the court. Instead, he recommended himself to the army and went to the battlefield with the emperor, who was still a prince at that time.
When Mrs. Jiang found out, she almost had a stroke from anger.
She went to the White Horse Temple again to find Master Wuyou, who said, "Your child has finally embarked on the path of destiny."
Old Madam Jiang was angry and anxious, but helpless. She could only recite scriptures and chant Buddhist scriptures all day long, praying that Jiang Chu would return safely from the battlefield.
She prayed for three amulets for Jiang Chu, but did not dare to ask for more, for fear of being rebuked by God and Buddha.
Every year on Jiang Chu’s birthday, Old Lady Jiang would have someone give him a peace amulet.
In just three years, Jiang Chu rose through the ranks from a small soldier to become a general.
Three years later, the previous emperor passed away suddenly. Jiang Chu returned to the court and helped the current emperor ascend the throne.
He had made great achievements in the war. When the emperor asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted an imperial decree to marry Lan Luozhu, who had fought alongside him for three years.
The emperor granted the marriage an imperial decree, and soon after, he conferred the title of Marquis of Wu'an on Jiang Chu. Old Lady Jiang then became a first-rank lady. Many people envied her for raising such a good son.
Only she was worried in her heart, fearing that Jiang Chu would not survive the battlefield one day.
In the fourth year, Jiang Chu led his troops to war again, but this time, he never came back.
That day, Mrs. Jiang lost her only son and daughter-in-law at the same time.
She was heartbroken and seriously ill in bed, and almost died with him.
Later, when she saw that her grandson, who was once plump and white at birth, had become so thin before he was even a month old, she was furious. She forced herself to support the Wu'an Marquis Mansion alone.
She was afraid that she could not support her grandson, so she endured her sadness and grief and went to the White Horse Temple to find Master Wuyou.
Master Wuyou said, "Good deeds are rewarded, evil deeds are punished, and there is no place for those who are not blessed. If I cultivate this child with all my heart, he will one day achieve great things and leave his name in the history books."
Old Madam Jiang doesn't care whether her grandson can achieve something, she only cares whether he can live well.
Master Wuyou said that it was no surprise that his grandson would live to be a hundred years old.
Old Madam Jiang was finally relieved.
But the old man and the young were weak and alone. Even with the emperor's protection, there were always people who wanted to assassinate the infant Jiang Shi. Old Lady Jiang did not dare to take it lightly. She tried her best to protect him while also trying to teach him the ability to protect himself.
When Jiang Shigang learned about the existence of Master Wuyou, he didn't take it seriously.
If someone could really predict fate, there wouldn't be so many miserable people in this world.
Master Wuyou said to him, "If people believe in fate, then fate will remain unchanged."
Another meaning of this statement is that if you don't believe, you can change your destiny.
But just like it is difficult for a poor person to change his fate and become rich.
People always walk on the path of destiny unconsciously.
Jiang Shi didn't believe in fate, but he still went to the White Horse Temple to draw lots for Yu Tanqi.
He asked how to make Yu Tanqi's fortune come true.
Master Wuyou said, "This girl's fate is closely tied to yours. If you wish to save her, you must share your own luck with her."
"But my luck is not good."
"No, you have good luck. Think about it carefully, you always manage to escape danger. Isn't that a kind of luck?"
Jiang Shi was silent.
After a long pause, he asked, "Then how can I give her my luck?"
Master Wuyou said, "If you share your luck with her, your fate will be affected, and your future actions will be even more hindered. Do you still want to do this?"
He said without hesitation: "Yes."
“When you ask for help from God or Buddha, sincerity is the key to success.”
Master Wuyou took out a long, slender, snow-white rope and said, "Since ancient times, copying scriptures with blood has been a way of expressing devotion to the Buddha. Dye this rope red with your own blood, kneel before the Buddha sincerely for a day and a night, then tie it to her personal belongings and let her carry it with her."
Jiang Shi looked at the long white rope and thought, "Can I use it to make a peace knot for her?"
"Okay."
So Jiang Shi rolled up his sleeves, cut a gash on his arm, let out half a bowl of blood, and dyed the white rope red.
He held the red rope and knelt in front of the Buddha for a day and a night. Then he personally weaved it into a peace knot and gave it to her personally.
He doesn't believe in fate or gods.
But for her, he chose to believe.
I just hope that the gods and Buddhas can really bless her.
Wisteria flowers hang outside the window, the flowers are lush and fragrant.
Jiang Shi looked at Yu Tanqi's pale face and said softly, "Hang the peace knot on the head of the bed first. When you are able to get out of bed, take it down and wear it with you."
Yu Tanqi nodded obediently and replied, "I understand."
Tao Hua pushed the door open and walked in, excitedly saying, "Miss, I'm back."
When she saw Jiang, she subconsciously hid the snack in her hand behind her back, "Prince."
Jiang Shi glanced at her and said nothing. He then said to Yu Tanqi, "The Emperor has sent someone from the Imperial Hospital to treat me. I'm leaving now. You should have a good rest. I'll come back to see you later."
"good."
After Jiang Shi left, Tao Hua dared to take out the snacks in her hand and gave them to Yu Tanqi, "Miss, I heard that the snacks here are delicious. Try them."
Yu Tanqi couldn't wait to reach out, took a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, "Hmm, very sweet, delicious."
A long-lost happy smile appeared on her face.
Taohua was happy when she saw the young lady was happy.
But she still remembered Doctor Xu's advice and hesitated, "Miss, your body is not well yet, so you can't eat too many snacks."
"I know, I just eat two sweets. I take so many medicines every day, and my meals have no taste. I feel like I am not feeling well at all."
"When your wound is better, you can eat delicious food."
"Alas, I don't know when..."
Yu Tanqi didn't really regret shielding Jiang Shi from the arrow.
When she read the book, she felt sorry for the male protagonist whose life was always in danger.
He had actually suffered many injuries, including those from martial arts training and those from the assassination attempt on him.
Those wounds eventually formed scars, and the scars were faded with ointment until they disappeared.
But the disappearance of the scar does not mean that the pain has never existed.
He is also a human being, he will bleed and feel pain when he is injured.
