Chapter 110: Donor Shen went to the Buddhist temple

"Zhi Lin" for help. Ren Hai sighed, "You are the abbot now, why are there still so many things that you can't let go of?"

"My brother-in-law is too narrow-minded." Zhilin took a step back, clasped his hands together and lowered his head.

Ren Hai asked Shen Shilang again, "Are you willing to answer truthfully?"

"Yes." Shen Shilang said without hesitation.

"Then follow me." Renhai turned and walked towards the back hall.

Shen Shilang stood up, took his things, and followed Ren Hai.

Ren Hai brought him to the courtyard where he lived, "Please sit down, benefactor."

Ren Hai went to get paper and pen. Shen Shilang wanted to help him grind ink, but Ren Hai stopped him. "It's okay. I can do it myself."

"Monks don't have the habit of having others serve them." Ren Hai said as he ground the ink slowly and leisurely.

Shen Shilang kept waiting, but Renhai never asked him any questions.

Then Renhai picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote down a prescription.

"I know you won't give up. Even if you can't find anyone to help you, you will nourish the jade pendant with your own blood." Ren Hai handed the recipe to Shen Shilang, "This is a recipe for replenishing qi and blood."

"According to the amount of blood you lose every day, the amount I replenish won't be as fast as the speed at which you lose it," Ren Hai said, "but any amount counts. Otherwise, you'll collapse before you reach forty-nine days."

"Also, you don't need to bleed so much next time." Ren Hai said, "This method aims to nourish things with blood. You just need to ensure that the blood nourishing the jade pendant does not dry up within twelve hours, and then bleed it again at the same time the next day."

"Next time..." Ren Hai shook his head, "You can find a larger and shallower container to hold it. You're wasting it like this."

Shen Shilang was stunned for a moment. This master spoke in a simple and direct way.

"Yes." Shen Shilang agreed sincerely.

"Mr. Shen, the news that a god appeared in the palace hall and indicated that you can act as a middleman for communication has spread throughout Daxi. So I know a thing or two about this matter." Renhai said.

Shen Shilang didn't say anything, nor did he tell the truth just because the person in front of him was a high monk.

"I just want to ask Mr. Shen, are you performing this blood sacrifice to contact the God, or... to contact someone else?" Ren Hai asked.

Renhai was asking about people, not gods or ghosts.

Even though Shen Shilang had never believed in these monks or ghosts, he couldn't help but believe them a little at this moment.

Shen Shilang paused for a moment, weighed the matter, and decided to tell the truth: "I dare not hide it from you, Master. There is indeed someone else I want to contact."

"To be honest, Master, the person I want to contact is a woman. She is neither a god nor a ghost, but just an ordinary person." Shen Shilang said, "She comes from another world, not in Daxi. The people living in that world are also ordinary people like you and me. There are also high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and common people."

"It's just... they are happier than the subjects of this world. In that world, women and men can work in the same room and do the same job. They don't have to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Some women never get married and focus on their careers. They have giant steel objects that are like flying birds and can carry people to fly in the sky. It only takes them more than two hours to fly from the capital to Chong'an, which is such a long distance."

"They also have dragon-like steel machines that fly on the ground, which can carry more people. It only takes about three hours to get from the capital to Luoshui."

"They also have a magical device that is as sharp as an arrow but extremely large. It can take people to the moon." Shen Shilang said to himself that it was difficult for him to imagine such a scene.

I wonder what the world that Su Jinshi lives in is like.

Just listening to Su Jinshi's description, I felt it was so beautiful.

"They don't need to rely on writing letters to contact relatives and friends. All they need is a phone call or a thing called WeChat to communicate with relatives and friends far away in real time. They can even chat face to face with the person on the other side through a screen." Shen Shilang slowly told Renhai everything Su Jinshi had told him.

I don’t know if Renhai will believe it after hearing it.

Even he, who had been with Su Jinshi for a long time, and had feelings for Su Jinshi, trusted Su Jinshi very much, so he immediately believed what Su Jinshi said.

If someone told him these things for no reason, which he couldn't even imagine, he wouldn't believe it.

Unexpectedly, the more Renhai listened, the brighter his eyes became.

"What Madam Yong'an dreamed of turned out to be true!" Ren Hai said excitedly.

"Lady Yong'an?" As far as Shen Shilang knew, Daxi had only one Lady Yong'an, who was personally conferred the title by Emperor Mingzong, Li Mumu.

She was also a close friend of Empress Yuan Zhen.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Yes." Ren Hai said, "Back then, Lady Yong'an and Empress Yuan Zhen worked together to improve the status of women in Daxi, and also inspired the women who came after them to continue to inherit their will and continue to work hard. At the beginning, Lady Yong'an had a dream, and she dreamed of a world."

"She said that women in that world don't have to wear skirts or have long hair. She also said something similar to what you said." Ren Hai said, "At that time, what Madam Yong'an said was recorded by Master Dexian of this temple."

"It's just that Emperor Wenzong was worried that these things would be too shocking and unbelievable, so he asked Master Dexian to seal these records in this temple. If one day it can really be realized, the records will be made public." Renhai's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that these are actually true. If I can see the person from another world with my own eyes and listen to her talk about the world that Madam Yong'an dreamed of, and more specific things, I will die without regrets."

Shen Shilang was also a little confused at this time, "Master, did you know from the beginning that the person I wanted to communicate with was a person from another world, not a god?"

“After all, the gods clearly showed their power that day, and many people knew about it.” Even Emperor Jiacheng thought that what he was looking for was a way to communicate with the gods.

Master Renhai smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have some talent for judging people. Judging from the donor's face, it doesn't seem like he believes in these things."

Shen Shilang: "..."

"Besides, the goddess of the nine heavens who appeared in the court that day is a Taoist deity." Master Renhai said with a smile, "But Mr. Shen prayed to Buddhist temples all the way..."

Shen Shilang: "..."

Master Renhai's compassionate eyes with a smile fell on Shen Shilang's face, making Shen Shilang feel embarrassed as if he was seen through.

"Master's wisdom." Shen Shilang clasped his hands in acknowledgement.

"I will help you this time," said Master Renhai. "Please follow my instructions and offer the jade pendant. Come back to me on the forty-ninth day."
