After returning home, Mingzhuo ate dinner and then took a long nap.
The next morning when she got up, Ruan Mulan, Ruan Mingying, and Ruan Mingxuan were all there.
She was admitted to a university in the capital, and her family prepared to go to Yunling Temple to burn incense and give thanks.
Although they knew the curse on them should have been lifted, since they had already become Buddhists, Ruan Mingying and her mother still frequently went to Yunling Temple to listen to the high monks preach and donate money for incense.
Before Mingzhuo took the college entrance exam, Ruan Mingying made a wish and asked for a talisman blessed by a high monk to ensure Mingzhuo would pass the exam.
Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I should of course fulfill my vow and not go back on my word before Buddha.
Burning incense and fulfilling vows at Yunling Temple is a major event for the family, and even Xu Shanglou took a day off.
According to the plan, they will first hold Mingzhuo's college entrance banquet in Yunwu City, followed by Xu Shanglou and Ruan Mingying's wedding on the island and their honeymoon.
Xu Zhongkai returned to Hong Kong ahead of time to handle company and family affairs in preparation for Mingzhuo's graduation banquet.
Many people from Hong Kong will attend Mingzhuo's college entrance celebration banquet.
On the other hand, Bai Tingtao was also very enthusiastic. He felt that since Ruan Mulan was his aunt's daughter, she should naturally be included in the family genealogy.
Not only Ruan Mulan has to go, but all three children have to go too.
The Bai family is, after all, a prominent family of the Xuanmen sect, and Bai Li's branch was once the head of the family. Although it is not obvious on the surface, they have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, including antiques and treasures.
These are all to be passed down to Ruan Mulan and her three children.
So Bai Tingtao is also making arrangements for the graduation banquet. Even if it can't be held in Yuru City, that's easy to arrange. With such convenient transportation these days, relatives can come to Yunwu City to celebrate.
——
During the summer vacation, Yunling Temple attracted even more visitors, with devout pilgrims burning incense in front of the main hall.
Ruan Minh Ying was worried that because of their different religious beliefs, Minh Chuo was not suitable for burning incense, so she wanted her to walk around. Unexpectedly, Minh Chuo took the initiative to ask for a stick of incense.
I entered the main hall and bowed casually. Although I lacked the piety of other worshippers, I felt an inexplicable sense of freedom.
After she finished praying, she stepped aside and looked at the solemn Buddha statue, but her mind was on the Hongguang Building.
It was a monk who brought the Lord of the Ghost Realm into the Hongguang Building.
More than 20 years ago, the same monks were the ones who created the evil spirits in Xianyuan Village and Chengxian Lake.
It is not yet certain whether it is the same person, but what is certain is that it is despicable for a monk to lack compassion and use the guise of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits to do bad things.
I wonder if Buddha knew that such a scoundrel had emerged from among his disciples.
After burning incense, Ruan Mulan and Ruan Mingying went to the meditation room in the backyard to listen to the high monk preach, as usual.
The others are free to explore and enjoy the scenery nearby.
Mingzhuo was taken to the back mountain by Ruan Mingxuan last time, but this time she decided to wander around the temple.
When they reached a courtyard, Mingzhuo stopped.
Many people nearby were taking pictures of the building behind them. A child looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Dad, why doesn't this tower have a door?"
The father, engrossed in his phone, couldn't answer for a moment and said irritably, "Who cares if it's possible or not? Why are you asking so many questions?"
Just as Mingzhuo was about to step forward, a monk suddenly came out, put his hands together, and said to the child, "Little benefactor, this is a stupa for the deceased, also known as a stupa for relics. It is a stupa for storing the relics of eminent monks who have passed away, so it has no door."
The father's face immediately changed, and he raised his voice, "What? Isn't that where they keep dead bodies? What bad luck!"
The child was startled by his father's sudden loud voice and burst into tears.
The man immediately had a reason to glare at the monk: "It's all your fault! What were you talking about with the corpse? You scared my son!"
Monk: "Amitabha, benefactor, this is a sacred Buddhist site; noise is prohibited."
The man got even angrier: "You want me to shut up? If anything happens to my son, can you afford to compensate me?"
The child was crying his heart out, clearly terrified, which is probably why his family brought him to the temple.
In this situation, if the man shouts and yells like a demon, it can easily frighten the child.
The monk clearly understood, but didn't know how to get the man to control his temper, so he hesitated to speak.
Instead of comforting the child, the man used the situation to demand compensation from the monk, threatening to prevent him from leaving until he paid.
"Don't think I don't know that when you monks make money, you shave your heads, put on a robe, and swindle money everywhere; once you leave the temple, you put on a wig, change your clothes, and go around drinking, eating meat, and chasing girls, living the high life. Only a few fools would believe you swindlers," the man said disdainfully.
Even the most good-natured monk's expression changed slightly.
“Esteemed benefactor, please watch your words and refrain from creating negative karma through speech.”
Man: "What, I saw right through you? Hurry up and pay up, I know you've all made a fortune in villas."
The monk was too young and had probably never seen such a rogue before, so he was a little unsure how to deal with him.
Mingzhuo stepped forward and patted a calming talisman on the child's shoulder, and the child immediately stopped crying.
He thought the older sister was very beautiful, and the monk's aura was gentle and calm, while his father's face was ferocious and scary.
The child was frightened and instinctively clung to the monk's leg.
Mingzhuo: "Alright, the child has stopped crying, the problem is solved, can you shut up now?"
The man looked a little embarrassed. "Who told you to meddle? What's it to you?"
Mingzhuo: "Naturally, it was Buddha who told me to meddle. Buddha said this is his territory, and you not only have no respect, but you also make a lot of noise. He is very angry. He told you to shut up, or you will never be able to speak again."
