Many people squat down every day to listen to his sermons.
He also said that once the temple is established, he will be the first to go and offer incense.
Vera's Buddhist teachings have moved, touched, and inspired many.
Some pedestrians who had previously looked down on Vera became respectful when they saw him again.
Of course, there are also many ordinary people who neither understand nor are interested in it.
Gu Xiaoran exclaimed in surprise.
“Mother, it’s Master Vera.”
Qiu Yan saw it too, of course.
She and Gu Xiaoran squeezed into the crowd and saw Vera sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, still preaching and begging for alms.
His alms bowl was completely full of copper coins.
Vera always manages to touch people's hearts with his kindness.
These copper coins were obtained by Vera in exchange for his Heart Sutra.
Vera saw Qiu Yan, smiled and nodded to everyone, and stood up.
"Qiu Yan, you've arrived."
These days, he thought Qiu Yan had forgotten him.
Apu smiled brightly at Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan, Vera, and the others walked along Baiyang Street.
The pedestrians beside them all watched them with curiosity.
On the way, Qiu Yan handed Vera a money bag and placed it in his alms bowl.
Vera smiled, pursing her lips.
He was desperately short of money, but he couldn't ask for it for nothing.
I will pay you back.
Qiu Yan shook her head.
“Master Vera, your sutra just now has moved me. This is my offering to Buddha. I hope you will accept it.”
She kept thinking about how she could help Vera without seeming abrupt.
Moved, Vera gave Qiu Yan a serious look.
He handed the alms bowl to Apu and bowed deeply to Qiu Yan.
"Buddha will protect you."
Qiu Yan liked hearing this.
She also clasped her hands together and, imitating Vera, bowed deeply.
"Thank you for your kind words, Master Vera."
Upon learning that Vera had chosen a location in a jungle for the temple,
Out of curiosity, Qiu Yan, guided by Vera, went to take a look herself.
After arriving, she nodded and smiled.
This place has mountains and water, and its geographical location is quite good.
And this location...
It is somewhat similar to her Lingxin Academy.
Thinking about it carefully, it was about five miles away.
That's not bad.
"Have you found a reliable craftsman?"
"Not yet." Vera was worried about this.
In Baiyang, besides Qiu Yan, he had no other reliable people.
Qiu Yan noticed Vera's troubled expression and offered her services to him.
“Master Vera, my second uncle’s craftsmanship is excellent. If Master Vera is willing, I can ask him if he will take on this job.”
Vera's eyes lit up.
"Okay, thank you."
Qiu Yan went to Huaiyuan to find her second uncle that very day.
At this moment, my second uncle was also busy with the Huaiyuan City Wall, putting the finishing touches on it.
Qiu Yan simply explained Vera's idea, and Qiu Dafu agreed without hesitation when he heard that it was about building a temple.
This year, he has gained quite a few more craftsmen.
During this time, Qiu Yan resumed teaching Vera Chinese whenever she had free time.
...
Since getting married, Qiu Yan has been shuttling between Baiyang and Huaiyuan.
She didn't think anything of it, but Gu Qian was unhappy.
He felt a pang of sympathy for his wife.
He felt that he didn't need to do everything himself in the academy; he should just train some capable people and let them handle it.
But his wife said that the academy had only just begun, and that once things went smoothly, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths.
That night, at the Qiu residence in Qingyun,
After a busy day, Qiu Yan finally had time to sit down and rest after washing up and taking a shower.
She sat on the bed and moved her aching ankles.
Watching the man slowly walk in, she asked:
"Gu Qian, everything at the academy is ready. Several more students have enrolled today. When should we start the semester?"
