For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...

Chapter 177 I Miss My Parents Tonight

Money makes the world go round. From ancient times to the present, monks have always been fat. Especially when they heard Zhou Jiyun say that they wanted to order the highest-quality ever-burning lamp, within five minutes, everyone sat down in the abbot's quiet room.

The abbot pushed a list over and said, "This is the list of those who have come to our temple to light the eternal lamps in the past ten years. Please take a look."

Normally, it shouldn't be read, but who could blame Zhou Jiyun for giving so much? Especially after lighting two eternal lamps, he also donated a large sum of incense money. So in the abbot's view, it was just a list of names, so he could just read it.

After receiving the list, Xie Jing and Yun Xu began to search through it, focusing on the person who lit the lamp. Generally speaking, everyone would leave their name, identity, address, etc.

"Sister, these are the names of Zhou Jiyun's parents, right?" Yun Xu saw the two names, suddenly pulled Xie Jing's sleeve and said softly.

Xie Jing also saw the names of Zhou Zhihong and Lu Wen, and then looked at the time. It was six years ago. In other words, six years ago, someone lit two eternal lamps for Zhou Zhihong and Lu Wen at Jingye Temple.

Who is this person? Looking at the information about the lamplighter above, it is just anonymous, with no other information.

Xie Jing gestured for Zhou Jiyun to read the words. When he saw the names of his biological parents, Zhou Jiyun couldn't help but waver. After quickly getting over the shock, Zhou Jiyun softly asked, "Who is this lamplighter?"

The monk next to him took a look and said: "Every year, people come to the temple to light the eternal lamp. Some come anonymously. This is not uncommon. It has been a long time. We really can't remember."

Zhou Jiyun no longer hesitated: "Can I go and see the eternal lamps of these two? To be honest, Zhou Zhihong and Lu Wen are my parents. I want to know who lit the eternal lamps for them."

Several monks were stunned for a moment, and finally the abbot was the first to come to his senses: "Of course, everyone, please follow me."

There is a small building in Jingye Temple dedicated to the worship of eternal lamps. When Xie Jing walked into the building, she felt a little scared. It was such a dark place with such weak lights, plus there were so many weak small lamps worshipped. To be honest, it was because there were so many people.

When there are more people around, she becomes braver. If Xie Jing had come alone, she would still be a little nervous.

But she changed her mind and comforted herself. She came here to avenge the injustice of Zhou Zhihong and Lu Wen. Even if something bad really happened, she was doing good things. If she did good things, naturally, gods and ghosts would not fear her.

Yun Xu fell to the back and asked, "Did you think Lin Nan lit those two eternal lamps?"

Yun Zhao was also analyzing this scene: "It's likely that the Jingye Temple is in N City, and the Zhou family has no relatives or friends in N City. The only person in N City who can be connected to the Zhou family is Lin Nan."

Yun Xu was curious: "What do you think she was thinking? Why did she want to enshrine the eternal lamp here?"

Yun Zhao: "Let's assume it's her. I guess we should prepare for both scenarios. One is to leave Zhou Zhida with something to hold against him. If he does something to her, she can thank him for it."

"The other one is a little more humane," Xie Jing said softly, "If she and Zhou Zhida are really together, and Zhou Zhida is her husband, then offering a perpetual lamp for Jiyun's parents can be considered as doing good deeds for Zhou Zhida, and psychologically eliminating the sin."

Yun Zhao and Yun Xu looked at each other and said, "Sister, I have to say, your ideas are always so unique."

Xie Jing smiled and said, "This is just my most basic guess based on his personality. Let's get to work. With so many eternal lamps, how long will it take to find them?"

Jingye Temple was a bustling place of worship, housing tens of thousands of eternal-burning lamps. Although divided into zones, finding them was still a challenge. Furthermore, the most common eternal-burning lamps lit by Lin Nan were lost among the tens of thousands of smaller lamps, making them even harder to find.

Now everyone turned on the flashlights on their mobile phones and started looking for Zhou Zhihong and Lu Wen's eternal lanterns in circles.

In the end, Yun Zhao was the first to find Zhou Zhihong and Lu Wen's eternal lamps. From the outside, they looked like ordinary eternal lamps, nowadays they didn't use lamp oil, but directly used electronic candles.

Zhou Jiyun looked at the two ever-burning lamps in front of him, his thin lips pressed into a line, but Xie Jing knew that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

After turning off the power of the eternal lamp, Xie Jing looked at Zhou Jiyun: "Open it and take a look. This is the eternal lamp that others lit for their parents. We will light it again for them later. Don't let them disturb your parents' peace."

Zhou Jiyun took a deep breath and looked at Xie Jing almost pleadingly: "Jingjing, please stay with me."

"Of course I'm with you. We agreed that we'll face and bear everything together." Xie Jing touched Zhou Jiyun's hair: "I'll always be here."

As she spoke, Xie Jing quickly and accurately opened the base cover of the eternal lamp with Zhou Zhihong's name on it. Zhou Jiyun opened the base cover of another lamp.

There were two objects hidden in each of the two bases: one contained a small USB drive, and the other contained a piece of paper with the name of a bank and a string of numbers written on it.

Yun Xu took a look and said, "It should be the combination to the bank safe, but these usually require the person to go in person with their ID."

Yun Zhao: "Let's go back and check the files in the USB drive, then we'll talk about it."

He patted Zhou Jiyun's shoulder and said, "Let's go back first. Let's light up the eternal lamps of uncle and aunt."

Zhou Jiyun nodded. He carefully put the small note into his wallet and then looked at the monks: "I hope you will take good care of my parents' ever-burning lamp in the future."

The abbot ignored everyone's actions and clasped his hands together. "Sure, benefactors, take care."

After leaving Jingye Temple, Yun Xu finally said, "I really don't like Buddhism."

Yun Zhao also said: "When faced with danger, Buddhism retreats into seclusion. But what about Taoism? When faced with danger, everyone bravely charges forward. I still admire Taoism more."

Xie Jing also nodded: "Isn't there a comment online? It says that Confucianism encourages people to pick up, Buddhism encourages people to let go, and Taoism encourages people to hold on."

Yun Xu burst out laughing, changing his previous gloomy mood: "Sister, you are so funny."

Xie Jing smiled and held Zhou Jiyun's hand: "The sadness will only last tonight. We will be happy starting tomorrow."

Zhou Jiyun held her hand and said, "I understand. Let me remember my parents tonight."

Of them, only Zhou Jiyun's parents were gone. Yun Zhao and Yun Xu really didn't know how to persuade them, so they could only walk in front, letting Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing fall behind.
