In Shen Ni's memory, she rarely got sick, and no matter how much she ran around, she didn't see any bumps or bumps.But one morning when she was fifteen, she suddenly lost her sight.
There was no warning. When she woke up, there was nothingness in front of her. There was no color or light, and it was not black, just a vast and boundless void.
She broke down and shouted, fell off the bed in a panic, hit her head and fainted. When she woke up, her eyes had not recovered, and she cried so hard that her heart was broken. It seemed that God was going to return all the pain of the previous fifteen years to her.
Famous doctors came into Shen's house like water. No matter whether they were from Zhaozhou or the capital, from the Jianghu or the palace, no one could diagnose what kind of disease Shen Ni had.
Three months have passed, and Shen Ni's condition has not improved at all, and her eyes are still filled with emptiness.
Fortunately, she is an optimistic person. After being depressed for a few days, she stood up from all despair. She followed the doctors' advice and spent more time in the sun to replenish her yang energy.
Shen Ni was originally prepared to be blind for the rest of her life, but on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival that year, a monk with a bamboo staff and mango shoes knocked on the door of Shen's house to ask for alms.
The kitchen had already rested at that time, and the housekeeper did not dare to neglect. He invited the monk into the hall to rest for a while, and then took out a pancake from his room for him to eat with tea.
The monk took the cake and did not eat it first. Instead, he said in an incoherent manner: "Is there anyone in your house who cannot see?" utāxs.o (futaxs)
Blindness is not a glorious thing after all. The Shen family did not publicize it everywhere, and the doctors they invited were paid to keep silent. It was impossible for outsiders to know that Shen Ni was blind.
Knowing that the monk was not an ordinary person, the housekeeper hurriedly asked the servant to wake up the master and his wife who had rested.
Shen Ni was also called to the main hall. After sitting down, she stretched out her wrist as usual, but the monk said: "The poor monk is not a doctor, and he doesn't know how to see, hear, ask and understand." If you believe the poor monk, Miss Shen might as well go to Guiyuan Temple on the outskirts of the city to stay for a few days, and listen to Buddhist scriptures to eliminate disasters. "
The Shen family believed in Buddhism and had the habit of going to temples to meditate when they were in the capital. Shen Ni was playful, so naturally she was one of them.
Besides, Guiyuan Temple is well-known in Zhaozhou. Shen Zhengrong is not worried that the monk has any plans. If he goes, he can just bring more maids and guards to follow him.
Shen Zhengrong looked at Shen Ni. The corners of her lips that had been silent for three months finally raised, and he knew there was no need to ask anything.
It was better to choose the day than to hit it. Shen Ni asked the maid to pack her bags overnight and set out for the suburbs of the city with the monk early the next morning.
When she entered the mountain gate and the young novice who was sweeping the floor came forward and saluted the abbot, she realized that this kind-hearted monk was the abbot here, Master Huijue.
Shen Ni could not see, and his daily life was taken care of by the maids. When the morning bell rang, he groped his way to the main hall to listen to sutras, and when the evening drum sounded, he returned to his dormitory to rest.
