Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 516 Fate Has Arrived

Lin Yifeng didn't believe in any of that. After wandering around for so long, he believed more in his own abilities than in any of that. If you're not strong enough, nothing you do will matter.

However, Lin Yifeng doesn't mind these things. As long as you don't force him, he won't say anything.

Bai Yejin and the others were worried about these things, so they went inside with everyone to pray for good luck and to help Lin Yifeng.

As for Xu Qingyi, Gangzi, and Donglai, they were already skeptical about this stuff, but after starting their business, they became more convinced of its value.

Lin Yifeng watched helplessly as Donglai bought over five hundred pieces of incense and threw them into the incense burner to pray for good luck.

Lin Yifeng didn't try to stop them from doing these things; he simply respected their beliefs.

After staying inside the temple for a while, everyone soon came out.

Bai Yejin and her friends didn't buy too much; they just followed the crowd and bought about ten yuan worth of things.

Gangzi and Xu Qingyi went all out, each buying over three thousand yuan worth of incense to pray for its efficacy.

As for the others, they all bought some as well.

Only Lin Yifeng, Liu Shengxing, and Meng Ran remained unmoved.

Lin Yifeng stood outside the door, glanced at Liu Shengxing and Meng Ran beside him, and jokingly teased them.

"We're all materialists, aren't we?"

Liu Shengxing and Meng Ran were slightly taken aback, and then the three of them burst into laughter.

After strolling around for a while and paying respects to the Buddha, everyone gathered under an old tree outside the temple gate half an hour later.

At this moment, Donglai and his wife, Xu Qingyi, and Gangzi also excitedly gathered around.

"Brother Feng! Brother Feng!"

"Um?"

Lin Yifeng looked at Xu Qingyi's happy expression.

Xu Qingyi pointed to a small room in the distance and murmured in a low voice.

"Brother Feng, I just gave them some money for incense, and they invited us to have our fortunes told."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng frowned slightly.

But then I thought about it again, and Xu Qingyi's generous spending must have attracted the attention of the monks here.

For such a large client, it's normal that they would try to cultivate a good relationship with them.

"Brother Feng, they said they can also calculate it for you as well."

"Shall we go take a look?"

Gangzi pointed to the door.

Hearing this, Zhou Xuelan and the other women were also very excited.

Seeing that everyone wanted to go, Lin Yifeng sighed helplessly.

"Let's go."

"Let's go take a look."

Before long, a monk led the group to a side door.

Passing through the outer gate, you'll find various Buddhist music playing from the speakers, and many glass display cases around the area, displaying various Buddhist prayer beads.

Lin Yifeng glanced at the situation and knew it all too well.

In many tourist attractions, you'll find these kinds of booths that offer you a space to sell you all sorts of overpriced trinkets, with various excuses for doing so.

Some people do it to change their luck, while others do it for good fortune.

These kinds of items cost several thousand dollars at a time, just to make money off these people.

Not far away, a monk was patiently introducing various historical events to Xu Qingyi, Bai Yejin, and the others, including many myths and legends, all to make them believe that there was a spirit here.

Lin Yifeng also secretly became vigilant and followed the group forward.

When they arrived at the door of a room, a monk bowed slightly, and soon an old monk wearing a kasaya came out.

"Amitabha."

Upon seeing this, everyone bowed in acknowledgment.

The monk turned to look at Xu Qingyi and Gangzi, seemingly convinced that they were the big bosses, and hurriedly introduced them.

"This is Master Putuo from our Shaolin Temple."

"He is already eighty years old this year."

"We were notified today because we felt that someone with whom we had a connection was coming to visit."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan, two young girls with little social experience, also showed expressions of surprise.

As for Guo Fengsheng and his group, they had been doing business for many years and had seen all kinds of people, so they just ignored what he said.

Amidst everyone's sighs, the old monk seemed to realize that Guo Fengsheng and the others didn't believe him, and he smiled and hinted at it.

"Everyone who comes here is destined to be here."

"Now the Buddha has brought us together here."

There must be a reason for this.

"Please follow me, everyone..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group followed the old monk into the house.

Several Buddha statues were enshrined not far inside the house, and many monks sat cross-legged on cushions, constantly striking wooden fish and chanting sutras.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingyi frowned.

Lin Yifeng followed behind him, asking with a smile.

"What's wrong, Qingyi?"

"nothing……"

Xu Qingyi pondered for a moment, then shook her head again.

"It feels a bit strange."

"The old monk said we are destined to meet."

"I'm wondering why we're destined to meet."

These words amused Lin Yifeng.

If he says it exists, then it exists.

Who does he think he is?

As for how this connection came about, one can only say that these monks mainly depend on whether you have the right "fate" to provide it.

Xu Qingyi and her group spent so much money and were so generous; anyone else would have felt that fate had brought them together.

"Alright, don't take it so seriously."

Lin Yifeng patted Xu Qingyi's shoulder and whispered some instructions.

Xu Qingyi nodded silently.

These days, Shaolin Temple is no longer just a religious organization; it has even become a business.

They have a well-established system. Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone here is burning incense and chanting Buddhist prayers. Besides that, there are various forms of publicity and investment. In fact, some Shaolin Temple movies have their support behind the scenes.
