Yuanshi, a village girl from Yunquan Village, Gaoping County. She was frail and sick when she was young, so her mother sent her to Buddhism to become a nun.
From then on, Yuanshi lived in Yunquan Nunnery. When she grew up, she was proficient in Sanskrit books, and she was so beautiful that she had green hills in her eyebrows and cherry red in her mouth.
Lingchuan There was a scholar named Wen Jietang who was studying in a neighboring house to the west of Yunquan Nunnery. Wensheng was very talented in literature and good at reciting. He would read around the steps with a book in his hand, sometimes reading non-stop from morning to night. When Yuanshi heard the sound of reading, he often echoed it in Sanskrit, just like he was responding to Vincent.
One day, Vincent listened to Sanskrit music and followed him to the nunnery. He saw a young nun dancing and imitating the way the scholar read. When he saw Vincent approaching, he quickly ran away.
The old nun came out and asked Vincent's name. As a result, Yuanshi overheard it in the meditation room and knew that he was the student next door to the west. So she came out with a cup of tea and stared at Vincent with her eyes, and Vincent also stared at her.
The old nun smiled and said to Yuanshi: "In the past, I kept asking for help but refused to see anyone. Why are you so diligent today?" After a while, someone asked the old nun to do Buddhist rituals, and Wensheng stayed alone in the nunnery.
Wensheng took the opportunity to ask Yuanshi: "What do you call me, young master?" Yuanshi answered truthfully. Vincent asked what the name meant. Yuanshi said: "Tao has no form and form, and its nature is difficult to understand. Only by changing the original shape and separating each one can we know its meaning." Vincent said: "Wrong. Yuan is the sky; Shi is Yang. You use the yin of a woman Living in a Buddhism Buddhist temple, it is appropriate to call him Fangxu. Perhaps it is because Yunquan Temple lacks yang energy. I will give you the name Yuanshi. I think you look like Qiongyu, but you are actually more like a fairy. Why not call you Feiqiong?"
Yuanshi smiled slightly, but before he could answer, he said, The pilgrims arrived and the two dispersed. After that, Yuanshi asked his master for instructions and changed his name to Feiqiong.
A few days later, Vincent was walking up and down the steps of the house, imitating Feiqiong holding tea, when Feiqiong suddenly came. Vincent was very happy and hurried over to help her. Fei Qiong put a flower note and a pair of shoes on the ground and left.
Vincent looked at the pair of shoes. The stitching was fine, and the outside of the soles was wrapped with a layer of soft cotton. They made no sound when walking on the ground. There is a little poem in the flower note :
I personally made a flying bird to send some love, and the dense thread in it is not to be taken lightly. In the Flower Palace, I tried the Lingyun Step at night, but no one else knew who was walking.
Wensheng understood the poetry and wore these shoes to Yunquan Nunnery that night. Feiqiong opened the door and let him in. The old nun must have gone out. The two of them each expressed their admiration and love. Vincent wanted to make things happen between men and women, but Feiqiong did not agree.
From then on, Vincent would go there every other day or every night. After leaving, Feiqiong sang poems to Vincent and encouraged him to regard reading as the most important thing, and refused to make changes with Vincent.
She also warned Vincent: "You and I are still young and have a long future ahead. At this point, we are already very satisfied. Why bother to imitate those prodigal sons and whores who only know how to have fun every night!"
Not long after, Vincent returned. Lingchuan. There was a scoundrel who took a fancy to Feiqiong's beauty and wanted to buy the old nun with a lot of money. Lao Ni was a little tempted, so he told Fei Qiong about it.
Feiqiong was so angry that she shed tears and said: "My disciple has been entrusted to the master since he was a child because he was poor and sick. Is the master going to use Feiqiong as a cash cow and become a madam himself?" After saying this, he picked up the knife and prepared to destroy his face. The old nun was afraid and angry, so he drove her out of the nunnery.
At this time, there was a severe drought in Zezhou , and grain prices were soaring. Feiqiong had nowhere to stay, so she had no choice but to leave the nunnery to seek refuge with her mother. The mother and daughter cried each other when they met.
Feiqiong said slowly: "Don't worry, my daughter can support the two of us by doing needlework. But I have become a nun, so it is not good to live at home." So, she chose to live in the nearby Biwu Nunnery.
Vincent's mother, Mrs. Wen Tai, vaguely knew about her son's affair with Feiqiong and admired the woman's virtuousness. So she found Feiqiong in a sedan and planned to take her back as Vincent's side room to settle her family.
Feiqiong disagreed and said: "The young master and I are just friends and have no personal relationship. Feiqiong just loves his talent, so she chats with him and encourages him to set up his ambition. If it is like what the wife said, it is Feiqiong." Qiong is no longer chaste. Moreover, Feiqiong is destined to be lonely and it would be unlucky to go to someone else's house." The wife felt that what she said was reasonable, so she did not take her home, but gave her a generous donation and left.
After that, Wen Sheng was studying in Taiyuan, but failed in the exams twice in the Mao and Renwu years. He returned to his hometown depressed and came to visit Feiqiong. Fei Qiong said: "I don't have the face to see you. Fei Qiong loves her husband. Everyone only sees the surface and doesn't know my heart. My husband came here after failing the exam and has lost his fighting spirit. How can I still give my heart to him?" Are you? The results were announced in the year 1990, and I heard that one person passed the exam in Lingchuan, so I thought it must be you, but it turned out that it was not you. Three years later, the results were released in the year 2009, and I heard that two people in Lingchuan passed the exam, so I guessed. That You must be there, but the result is still not. Qingdeng in the empty palace, you don’t know how many tears I shed. Now you act like a prodigal and ruin the rules of my nunnery. Why? Leave as soon as possible. If you don’t pass the exam, don’t meet again. ”
Wen Sheng was depressed and didn’t say a word. After returning home, he studied harder. In the year of Yiyou, he was finally selected from among the students, and in the year of Bingxu, he was about to enter Beijing. He came to visit again, but Feiqiong refused to meet and asked his mother to take a piece of white paper with a circle light drawn on it and give it to him.
Vincent asked what it was, and Feiqiong's mother conveyed her words: "This is the Bodhi Mind Mirror. If a scholar puts it in front of his eyes and studies diligently, the round light will be bright like a mirror. If he is not diligent, the round light will be dim like a piece of black iron." " Vincent was doubtful, so he took it to Beijing and put it in the box. Over time, I almost forgot about it.
Wensheng thought he was very talented and ran around here and there. It was not until the year of Wuzi two years later that he went to the capital to register. At this time, he suddenly remembered the Bodhi Mind Mirror. He opened the box and looked at the round light. It was really as dark as iron.
He was shocked, and hurriedly studied behind closed doors, putting the round light in front of him, and watching over him day and night like a teacher watching over him. A month later, the black light receded. Vincent felt even more strange and worked harder. Half a year later, the Black Light retreated by three points. I worked hard until , Gengyin year, , and there was only a sliver of black left in the round light. Vincent was indeed successful in the autumn examination of that year.
Wensheng worked harder and did not dare to stop. Looking at Yuanguang again, all the black lines are gone, and it is clear and discernible. Without realizing it, Vincent bowed to the ground and said, "This is how Xian Qiong enlightened me."
In the second year, he would try to spread the good news again and was appointed as a local official. I went home to visit relatives and met my parents. When I entered the bedroom wing, I saw a woman combing her hair in front of the jade mirror. Her long hair was hanging to the ground, and she was shining brightly. Her small feet under the Hunan skirt were only half the size of ordinary feet.
Vincent asked quietly who this was, and his wife said, "This is your old friend from Yunquan Nunnery. I heard that she was virtuous and asked her parents-in-law to marry her home."
Vincent asked how her hair was doing. What's going on? He replied: "It's a new one recently." Asked about the little feet, he said: "Before Qiongmei became a nun, her feet were already wrapped. When she met her husband before, they were all fake."
Vincent I was overjoyed and thanked Madam. He hung the round light painted by Fei Qiong in the middle hall, where it shines brightly and shines on the neighborhood.
Liu Yazi said: The human heart is like a mirror. It is bright when it is calm, but dark when it is contaminated with desire. When I first heard about Yuanshi, I blamed Wen Sheng for being too frivolous. But when I looked at Yuanshi's heart through the surface, I couldn't see how chaste he was. Vincent! Don’t work hard just for a beautiful smile.
