163 For the Way, for the Monk (2)

hing seemed to be emerging from its mouth... a chill flash descended from the sky.In the darkness, that single light was incredibly dazzling. The moment it touched the ground, we saw the Night Watch d...Now I understand why Huiqing is such a peculiar fellow. Buddhism has strict rules and precepts, yet he can move freely through the world, effortlessly reciting verses and boasting with conviction.

He claimed he hadn't finished his work, but as soon as my brother arrived, the two of them started boasting and bragging. I silently wandered around the temple.

This temple is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, so incense is always burning. According to Mahayana Buddhist teachings, all the enshrined figures in the temple are Buddhas. However, in Theravada Buddhism, Buddha refers only to the Tathagata (Buddha), while others are called bodhisattvas.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is Guanyin, who saves suffering and alleviates hardships. She is compassionate and merciful, and people pray to her for various things, such as having children or seeking blessings. Even small temples have many devotees.

In recent years, the number of followers of Buddhism has increased, but fewer people have truly inherited Buddhist teachings because Buddhist rules and precepts are strict. While Taoism appears to be understated, what ordinary people come into contact with most is still Taoist philosophy.

Practices of health preservation, geomancy, or even esoteric matters, have all blended into life. Some believe in them, while others don't.

Regardless of whether one is a Taoist or a monk, the yearning for enlightenment is likely the same.

Those of us who struggle in the mundane world and cannot detach from love are, in reality, merely superficial disciples on the periphery.

“Ma’am, please be careful…” I heard a voice from an elderly man.

He must be the abbot of this temple He's having a conversation with an elegant and dignified elderly lady. Just as they finish their talk, he comes out of the meditation room.

The old lady had several bodyguards around her, who looked like extraordinary people at first glance.

This temple is truly bustling with activity. For such a small temple, there are quite a few wealthy visitors.

"Thank you, Master. I am seeking peace of mind, hoping for safety and well-being for my family…" The old woman sighed.

"Certainly, your family holds a high status and influence, so it's natural that you've faced more storms and turbulence than ordinary people. But with such a special identity, there must be bodhisattvas protecting and blessing you, showering their grace upon your descendants." The master replied with a serene and complimentary expression.

The old madam bowed slightly and bid farewell. She turned around and walked out, passing before me under the protection of the bodyguard.

It seemed as if she saw me, and she gave me a slight nod. I reflexively nodded back, watching as she was ushered out.

This grandeur and bearing, it's definitely not ordinary.

Master Huisqing walked over, looking downcast and said: "Why don't I have such a generous patron... Someone came and bought all the incense sticks for the top pillar of the temple for a whole month! 9999 incense sticks, each one!"

Thirty thousand to burn a month's worth of incense! I secretly gasped, the rich are truly terrifying.

"Xiaoqiao, are you still waiting for this bald donkey" My brother pointed at Huqing, who secretly kicked my brother's calf.

"Well, Huaiqing, what time do you get off work I'll treat you to dinner." I took out my phone and looked up Cai Restaurant.

Hu Qing smiled and said, "You want me to have dinner with you Then I can leave work anytime! Having a meal is much more important than performance. Wait for me fifteen minutes!"

He rushed to Master Fangzhang's presence and asked for leave. I saw Master Fangzhang hit him with his wooden fish stick and let him go.

Dressed in trendy clothes after taking off his robes, he had a shaved head topped with a woolen hat. He looked very stylish and often caught the attention of beautiful women on the street.

The vegetarian restaurant I found was quite far away, a very famous and upscale establishment.

The private rooms upstairs are all reserved for officials and dignitaries. We can only sit in the hall," my brother complained, " Qiao, you're really generous, it's so expensive to eat here, you're practically giving a discount to this bald donkey."

Hu Qing giggled and said, “I'm going to explain the riddle for Miss Xiaoqiao. A meal is nothing, right Miss Xiaoqiao Can I order some dishes”

This guy is really not polite. I nodded and said, “Order whatever you like, but you have to tell me everything you know.”

"Actually, I don't know much. I just know you have a husband from the Underworld, but I've never met him. Does your brother know" Hu Qing looked up at my brother.

I also looked at him, he scratched his head in a daze and said: “What are you looking at me for I’ve never seen it either.”

Never seen it before

My brother's expression didn't seem like he was lying, and he wouldn't have any reason to lie to me, would he

"I heard that after you went to the Spirit World, your husband from the Underworld performed a ritual to bring back your three souls and seven spirits... Hey, what's wrong with you"

Yes, yes... A child's three souls and seven spirits...

I think I remembered something, but my head hurts like it's going to explode.

If the power of words is real, then I should be able to recall things about my husband through other people's words.

But besides myself, who knows the ins and outs

"Why don't we ask Shen Qingrui She probably knows a lot." My brother suggested.

I nodded, even though I didn't like the Shen family, at this time, there was only one way to go... and that was to ask them for help.

"Holy crap! Who is that!" My brother suddenly pressed my head down and looked at the group of people walking up the stairs.

Lin Yanhuan! He was followed by a man…

"Si Tu Lin!" I was stunned. This guy disappeared for so long, how did he suddenly appear!

The Situ family is rooted in the capital, and the Lin family's base camp is also in the capital. How did these two people get together

“Xiao Qiao, I remember someone told us that Situ Lin most likely died in the hut of that Taoist priest in Huangdao Village now. Shouldn't you remind Lin Yanhuan to be careful” My brother whispered.

Has anyone told us

"Bro, do you remember who said that"

“I don’t remember, who cares what anyone says, it just is that way! You wait in the courtyard, I’ll call Lin Yanhuan out, these two together, you never know what kind of trouble they might get into!” My brother hurried off to the bathroom.

I came under the trees in the courtyard, deep in thought, when a man's voice rang out behind me: "Miss Mu, it's been a long time."

"Lin..." I turned around, the man before me smiled with a strange glint in his eyes, it was Si Tu Lin.

"Young Master Situ, hello." I forced down my pounding heart and gave a strained smile.

Sipu Lin also laughed: "I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to visit you... I heard that you went to Huang Dao Village to set up an evil-suppressing formation"

"Where did you hear that from" My heart pounded in my chest. Under the dim light, his face seemed to grow more and more frightening with each passing glance.

"Miss Mu, you should still be careful. This circle is very dangerous... You don't have your nameplate and ring anymore, if anything happens, even your ghost husband won't be able to save you, right"

My whole body trembled. Just as I was about to ask him, he suddenly turned and vanished abruptly into the dark courtyard.

Is this his soul leaving his body

"Xiao Qiao" Lin Yan ran over. "Why are you standing alone in this dark corner It's very dangerous."

"Lin Yanhuan, what is your relationship with the Situ family Why are you with Situ Lin!" I demanded.

He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why are you so harsh I just got to know Situ Lin. His family is quite famous in this industry in the imperial capital. My elders trust them very much. After the incident at Haiyan Tower, my elders asked him to come and take a look at me. What's wrong" it can we pass on certain things.Xiao Shanming, this black tour guide, is unwilling to ride in Shen Qingrui's car anymore. He sits in the co-pilot seat of our car and keeps bragging about how great h...
