Taoist temples are originally places for monks and nuns to practice their spiritual life, and they should not be contaminated by the turbid and filthy atmosphere of the secular world.
However, in that dark cloud-shrouded era, Shuiyue Temple, Tiekan Temple, and even the Kuocui Temple where Gu Ao Miaoyu lived could not escape the fate of being eroded.
Among them, Shuiyue Nunnery is the most inappropriate. There are no Taoists who practice meditation and chant sutras in the nunnery. It is actually the place where Guchaluo Xiu, a man who buys and sells people and is a promiscuous person, lives in the nunnery.
Old nun Jingxu alone can easily manipulate Wang Xifeng in the palm of his hand.
When Zhou Rui's family gave Jia Xichun palace flowers, she learned from her sister-in-law Zhi'er that her master Jingxu went to the master's house after meeting Mrs. Wang.
Shuiyue Temple is a Taoist temple affiliated with the Jia family, but Zhongzhi'er's master went to visit other mansions. It was obvious that he was doing something shady again.
We can also see clues from the name given to her by Zhou Rui's family. "Bald Waila" is a word specifically used to describe nuns, which means a bald, despicable and dishonest woman.
As Mrs. Wang’s companion, Zhou Rui’s family called Lao Ni that way without avoiding suspicion. This shows that Shuiyue An’s bad reputation is already well known.
The night when Qin Keqing went to the funeral and Wang Xifeng stayed at Shuiyue Nunnery, Jingxu, a monk who was supposed to be a good person, even encouraged Wang Xifeng to sabotage Zhang Jinge's marriage for his own selfish gain.
Wang Xifeng was disdainful to come forward at first, but Jingxu was "neither arrogant nor impetuous" and hit Sister Feng's weakness with just a few words.
After Sister Feng asked for three thousand taels, she used Jia Lian's name and asked Chang'an Jiedushi to force the guards to accept the return gift.
The result is that Zhang Jinge and Mr. Li both died in love, a pair of bitter mandarin ducks, losing their lives in vain in the tricks of these unrelated people.
Wang Xifeng was only proud of getting three thousand taels for nothing, but she didn’t know how many immeasurable benefits Jingxu would get if she could readily agree to the three thousand taels.
Also in Chapter 15, Qin Zhong courted Shuiyue'an's sister-in-law Zhi'er. In a panic, Zhi'er shouted:
Then, if Shuiyue'an is really clean In a place of equality, how could there be such things as Qin Zhong Zhi'er corrupting customs? Why did Zhi'er call Shuiyue Temple a "prison pit"?
The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It is precisely because Jingxu and others did not respect their teachers and behaved improperly that the young disciples like Zhizhier rushed to imitate them. He made a secret promise to Qin Zhong and acted improperly.
Later, with the addition of young novices and Taoist nuns, Shuiyue Temple became even more unsightly.
He actually left a young master like Jia Qin in the nunnery, drinking, boxing, and singing for fun with nuns and Taoist priests. He even had a post posted on the door of Rongguo Mansion, causing trouble. It was a big deal and everyone on the road knew about it.
When they are bored, the old nuns in Shuiyue Temple will also accept a few children who want to become monks as apprentices. However, the reason why they do this is not to do good deeds, but to facilitate the kidnapping of those children to work as servants. .
They have never thought that many people who choose to become a monk have lost hope in life and want to seek sustenance in a place of spiritual cultivation. However, what Shuiyue Temple brings to them is also endless. land persecution.
For example, when he heard that Fangguan and others were determined to become a monk, Lao Ni Zhitong of Shuiyue Temple had a wrong idea.
What he was talking about to Mrs. Wang was the great good deed of establishing a Buddha statue, but what he was thinking about was the calculation of the population.
Poor homeless girls, even if they leave Jia's house, they will never find a good home.
"A gentleman is in his position and does not want to be outside of it." Whatever position you are in, you should pay attention to what kind of things you do.
Since you have become a member of the temple, you should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and take it as your responsibility to save all sentient beings, instead of being promiscuous and immoral, doing things that harm nature and destroy people's marriages.
It is a pity that these sisters-in-law of Shuiyue An cannot escape from the trap of benefiting themselves at the expense of others.
