Chapter 122 I Grow Old with the Holy Monk (5)
Because Sang Tian was a woman, she could only be arranged to stay in a more remote place in the temple.
The abbot looked at Sang Tian with an apologetic look in his eyes, "Fifth Princess, I can only ask you to stay here temporarily. There are only men in the temple, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."
Sang Tian lowered her eyes and nodded, "Thank you, Abbot. I feel more comfortable living here alone."
There was a flash of surprise in the abbot's eyes.
I've heard that the fifth princess is lively and reckless in doing things. Today I see that she is the same person as rumored.
The abbot had to go to chant sutras and had to say goodbye to her in a hurry.
Sang Tian stood alone at the gate of the villa, feeling melancholy.
If I had known earlier, I would have brought a palace maid with me. At that time, I was afraid that an extra woman would cause trouble for Guan Yi, so I rejected Xia Qingli's suggestion.
Although this place is not that shabby, it is somewhat uncomfortable for her as a girl to live in it.
She walked forward and pushed open the bamboo door, only then she found that the yard had been cleaned and there was no debris on the ground.
The houses in the courtyard are built with bamboo and the air is filled with a faint bamboo fragrance. Once you enter, your whole body and mind will be relaxed.
There are also gorgeous peonies planted in the courtyard, which look like beauties dancing in the wind in front of the bamboo house, which is refreshing.
Sang Tian walked over slowly and saw that the water tank in the yard was also considerately filled with water.
The room was spotlessly clean, and in the master bedroom there was a desk for her to copy scriptures.
The room was bright without any dark spots. As soon as I walked in, I wanted to find a place to have a good sleep.
For the next few days, Sang Tian stayed in the bamboo house copying the prayer scriptures that the little monk brought to her every day.
She finally waited for the day when Guanyi came out of retreat, but the little monk told her that she could not go.
Naturally, Sang Tian wouldn't listen.
She came here just to see Guan Yi, how could she not see him?
She was wearing a plain white dress and quietly followed a group of monks.
All the monks in Longming Temple gathered at the entrance of a cave waiting for Guanyi to come out.
The abbot immediately noticed Sang Tian standing behind the crowd and tried desperately to signal her to leave.
Seeing that the abbot's eyes were almost twitching, Sang Tian prepared to turn around and leave, and look for another opportunity to meet Guan Yi next time.
Just when she was about to leave, a tall and slender figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. Guan Yi stood with Buddhist beads in his hand and his eyes showed the Buddha nature that saved all living beings.
The Buddha nature emanating from the gentle eyes and brows makes one want to kneel down and worship.
Sang Tian, who had no time to leave, was spotted by Guan Yi.
Her white clothes stand out particularly against her beige robes.
Guan Yi had met Sang Tian several times before, and his eyes were full of confusion. The abbot hurriedly explained: "This woman is the fifth princess. She came to Longming Temple this time to pray for the eldest princess for a period of three years."
There was no change in Guan Yi's expression. He looked away calmly and told the abbot with his eyes that he understood.
Guan Yi left surrounded by the crowd, and Sang Tian stood in the distance watching her.
A young monk suddenly stepped forward and poked her arm and whispered, "Fifth Princess, hurry up and follow us. Now that the holy monk has seen you, there is no need to hide anymore."
Originally, the abbot didn't want Guanyi to know about Sang Tian's existence so he didn't let her come with him.
The abbot turned around and looked at Sang Tian who was following the monks, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
But he couldn't explain this premonition, so he could only shake his head and quicken his pace to follow Guan Yi in order to ease the confusion in his heart.
Guanyi led everyone to chant scriptures in front of the Buddha, and the Sanskrit sounds lingered in Sangtian's ears.
She knelt quietly very close to the door with her hands clasped together and looked straight ahead, looking at Guan Yi who was sitting in the front row.
At this moment, he really looked like a living god or Buddha, and his eyes were filled with compassion and mercy as he looked at everyone.
Just as Sang Tian was staring in a trance, a calm gaze turned towards her.
She was startled and lowered her head quickly.
It's such a sin, it feels like being caught stealing.
By the time the chanting was over, Sang Tian was already drowsy. If she hadn't been forcing herself to stay awake, she would have collapsed long ago.
When Sang Tian heard the word "end", she suddenly became energetic and stood up and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Guan Yi's calm voice came from behind, "Fifth Princess, please stay."
