The book begins with the waste of all the members

There were basically no people on the way to the temple. Isn't the eighth day of the second lunar month considered an auspicious day?

Speaking of the eighth day of the second lunar month, it's also funny. Originally, Si Muzhen wanted to hold the ceremony of crowning the queen today, but all the officials of the Imperial Observatory jumped out to oppose it. They were not against the ceremony of crowning the queen, but this year was not suitable for any weddings, groundbreaking, moving, etc.

The reason given by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was that there was no Lichun this year.

The ceremony of crowning the queen was cancelled, and the plan to build a new palace for Wei Yu was also cancelled. Si Muzhen felt like the sky was falling.

Wei Yu shouted in his heart, "God help me."

However, social death will not disappear, it will only shift. When people think of the sign of the porridge stall, both literate and illiterate people fall silent.

Wei Yu got off the carriage and was a little dazzled by the temple in front of her. The exterior decoration of this temple was too similar to the temple she had visited with Sister Li before.

An abbot in a cassock came out to greet them with several monks.

"Good luck to the Emperor, and good luck to the Empress."

"Abbot Suli greets you." Si Muzhen returned the greeting with a folded hand.

"Please." Abbot Suli made way and invited them in.

Si Muzhen reached out to grab the person, but found nothing. Wei Yu was standing behind him just now, but now he was gone.

Si Muzhen looked around before he found Wei Yu hiding behind the big banyan tree at the door.

She made some kind of seal with her hands, muttering, "Heaven and earth, please bless me, may all the gods show themselves..."

Si Muyu: "..."

"What's wrong with you? We are going in." Si Muzhen interrupted Wei Yu's spell.

Wei Yu glanced at Abbot Suli, his eyes evasive, "I remembered an old friend..."

The abbot seemed to feel Wei Yu's gaze, and he looked up at Wei Yu and nodded to her.

Wei Yu smirked, "Hello, Abbot Suli."

"please."

Along the way, Wei Yu kept stealing glances at Abbot Suli. He looked exactly like the abbot he had met before.

The temples are exactly the same, and the abbots are exactly the same, which makes it hard to believe that it is just a coincidence.

Wei Yu suddenly had an idea and started to compose a secret code, "Odd changes, even remains the same...Palace Jade Liquor..."

The abbot didn't react at all, but these two sentences attracted Si Mu's attention.

Si Muzhen asked sincerely. "What kind of chicken can transform? Lotus roots can't transform. Is this a riddle?"

"No, I was just talking nonsense."

Si Mu looked at her thoughtfully, "Oh."

Soon they reached the main hall.

There was already a group of monks meditating in the main hall. In front of them was a gilded Buddha statue that was more than ten meters tall. There were three cushions under the Buddha statue. The scene was very solemn.

The abbot led Wei Yu and Si Muqin to sit on the cushions at the feet of the Buddha statue.

"Om Mani Padme Hum..." The sound of chanting suddenly arose.

Si Muzhen tilted his head and whispered to Wei Yu, "The Buddha's mantra is the best way to calm the mind, chant sutras and pray for blessings, and avoid misfortune and bring good luck."

He copied these words from Abbot Suli. Si Muzhen himself had no religious beliefs.

He doesn't believe in Buddhism, Taoism or other religions. He only believes in himself.

"Your Majesty is right." Abbot Suli closed his eyes and agreed.

Wei Yu closed his eyes and felt the sound of chanting lingering in his ears. He was calming down and even felt a little sleepy.

She patted her face, changed her sitting meditation posture to a kneeling position, and made a pious wish to the Buddha statue.

"Please, Buddha, grant me an indestructible body, invulnerable to swords and guns, eternal youth, and repel all bad things. Please also bless me to become rich immediately. Thank you, Buddha, Amitabha..."

Abbot Suli said slowly, "The Buddha said he couldn't do it."

Wei Yu: “…”

Si Muzhen said, "Why don't you make a wish to live with me till old age, and have many children and grandchildren?"

Wei Yu imitated Abbot Su Li's tone and said, "Wei Yu said she can't help, add one."

Si Muyu: "..."

An hour passed like this. Wei Yu was jumping back and forth in her legs, feeling numb and sleepy. When she was thinking of falling asleep, the chanting finally stopped.

"Amitabha……"

Abbot Suli gave a standard closing speech, and the morning chanting meeting ended.

The monks withdrew in an orderly manner.

Si Muzhen told Wei Yu that he had a temple to burn incense in, and he came back soon and left with Lin Su.

"Amitabha...The Emperor is truly a man of long-lasting love."

Wei Yu was curious, "How do you say that?"

"The Cining Hall of this temple houses the tablet of the late empress. When the emperor comes here, he will burn incense and sit in meditation for an hour."

"Oh."

The former Queen Ye was Si Muzhen's only white moonlight, and Wei Yu felt complicated.

However, the person is no longer with us, and it would be inhumane not to allow Si Muzhen to commemorate him.

"Abbot Suli, I have something I'd like you to take a look at." Wei Yu handed the abbot a red cloth bag. "This contains a jade pendant I prayed for many years ago for safety. Suddenly, one day, when I woke up, it was shattered to pieces."

Abbot Suli poured out a little powder, looked at it, and said, "Your Highness's description is very appropriate."

Abbot Suli poured the powder back into the bag and said, "Your Highness, are you wondering why this jade pendant broke?"

Wei Yu nodded.

"This jade tablet is blessed by the Buddha's light and is very spiritual. Spiritual objects will recognize their owners. Once they recognize their owners, your life and safety will be closely related to it. When you encounter danger, it will stand up and protect you from evil."

Wei Yu was stunned. "Is this true?"

"If you think it is true, then it is true. If you think it is false, then it does not exist."

Wei Yu applauded and gave the abbot a big thumbs up, "Excellent! Listening to your words is like listening to a whole speech."

"This is the true meaning of the Buddha."

Wei Yu looked around, and when he was sure they were the only two in the hall, he asked quietly, "Abbot Suli, do you think souls can be swapped in this world? The kind where souls are swapped back and forth?"

"Everything is arranged by God. Maybe it's to set things right, or maybe God is just playing a huge joke on you."

Wei Yu was speechless. This guy couldn't even speak properly. Did he have to be so mysterious?

"Will the abbot's next words be: Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed?"

Abbot Suli took a step back, "Your Majesty is wise."

Wei Yu beckoned Abbot Su to come over, "If I fall into a deep coma or die here, can I go back?"

She wanted to know the answer in case of emergency and had no intention of going back immediately.

"I still say the same thing..."

Wei Yu knew what he wanted to say when he heard this. He closed his eyes and nodded, "Yes, yes, the secret cannot be revealed..."

"The Empress' karma here has not been resolved yet. She will be sent back here even if she returns."

"I've caught you." Wei Yu grabbed Abbot Suli's robe and said, "You're still pretending. Are you the abbot that Sister Li brought me to see over there?"

"No." Abbot Suli denied it flatly.

"Monks don't tell lies. Be careful, the Buddha might get angry if you do that."
