Chapter 912: Has a deity appeared?
Gu Yin didn't stop, and said with a smile, "This place is so famous. We came here not long after we arrived in Beijing, and we stayed in the meditation room a few times. All the meditation rooms here are pretty much the same."
The old lady nodded: "I see, this place is indeed quite famous."
The backyard is very quiet, and most people can't get in without a reservation.
Gu Yin saw two scriptures on the table, one with smooth, rounded characters that combined strength and gentleness, and the other with bold, archaic characters.
"Would you like to give it a try? Let your grandma and me see your calligraphy," the old man said with a smile, seeing her interest.
But Grandma Chu knew that her granddaughter-in-law had never studied calligraphy since childhood, and fearing that she would be embarrassed, she smiled and said, "These scriptures are complicated and dry, and young people don't like to learn them. Let's have some tea, sit for a while after we finish, and then we'll go back."
Gu Yin rolled up her sleeves, smiled, and sat down at the desk: "I learned two of these in college. As for scriptures, the handwriting isn't important; what matters is sincerity. This is for Chu Yan to copy, isn't it? I'll do a few strokes too."
"That's right, sincerity is the most important thing!" The old man's eyes were full of praise!
Gu Yin picked up a new piece of mulberry paper, laid it out, and began to copy the "Three Officials Classic" placed to the side with a brush.
The two elders quietly sipped their tea, watching Gu Yin write without any pause, her writing flowing smoothly like clouds and water. They felt that she had a very good understanding of the "Three Officials Scripture," and that someone who had just started reading it could not write so fluently.
"Graceful and refined, elegant and unrestrained, it's amazing that you can achieve this in the same character. How long have you been studying this running script?" The old man was full of surprise. This didn't seem like something that could be learned easily!
"I have always had the habit of copying the 'Brushwork Diagram' and the 'Autumn Deep Post'. As I studied, I developed my own habits and style."
After finishing the last stroke, Gu Yin put down the brush, looked at her handwriting, and nodded: "It's been a long time since I've written anything. It's alright, I haven't forgotten anything."
"You write much better than me!" the old lady said with a smile, picking up the paper.
Gu Yin chuckled helplessly, "Grandma! Please don't make fun of me! How can I compare to you! With your family, I'm just a little apprentice who still has a long way to go!" Gu Yin wasn't lying; she couldn't possibly compare to the old lady who had been learning from childhood to adulthood.
"All good, all good! We've finished copying the scriptures for today. Should this part be burned in the incense burner to reach the heavens? Place this copy on the offering table to strengthen our vows. Let's go, we'll go home after we're done."
The old lady tidied up the scriptures.
Gu Yin helped the other person out of the quiet room.
After placing the scriptures, the three of them went to the front of the Three Officials Hall and put the copied scriptures into the furnace to burn.
"I hope the emperors can protect my grandson Chu Yan and bring him back safely."
The old lady prayed quietly to herself.
Gu Yin watched the flickering fire in the stove, which rose instantly above the crowd when the wind blew, as if people's prayers had reached the heavens! The pilgrims around her became even more devout at the sight.
Gu Yin closed her eyes and silently repeated it several times in her mind.
The Heavenly Dao was jumping around in the clouds, quite bored. It had been keeping an eye on Gu Yin, after all, she was its partner.
Just as they were about to see what Gu Yin was doing, they saw that the faith on the other person was given to another god. The Heavenly Dao was puzzled. After listening carefully, it turned out that she was praying for that kid.
As if struck by a thought, the Heavenly Dao transformed into a golden light and instantly flew to Gu Yin, circling around her.
"Wow! What is this! Is it a divine intervention?!"
A voice broke the tranquility of the Taoist temple.
Gu Yin opened her eyes and saw that everyone around her was staring at her.
Gu Yin looked down in confusion and saw the golden light on her body, which was wrapped around her like a ribbon.
"What's going on? Ayin, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" The old lady didn't dare to touch the golden light and looked at Gu Yin with concern.
Gu Yin felt something and shook her head: "I don't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, I feel much more energetic. The air, which used to smell of incense and candles, is now fresher."
"God! Is this really a divine intervention?! It must be! God, please bless my son so he can return safely from his military service!"
"God, please bless my daughter so that her studies abroad go smoothly!"
"God, please..."
One wave of faith after another surged from these people and rushed into the Heavenly Dao!
There have been such instances in the past, but never with the same devotion as today!
Gu Yin saw the golden light floating on her body pause for a moment, then quickly fly around the people around her, and then return to Gu Yin.
The people around became increasingly devout, and some even knelt down in Gu Yin's direction. When one person knelt, the others followed suit.
Upon seeing this reaction, Gu Yin immediately retreated!
The actions here attracted the attention of the Taoist priests, and several of them rushed over. However, after seeing Gu Yin's condition, they were also a bit stunned, and someone immediately went to call the abbot over.
It seems that news of what happened here has reached the main hall. The old man frowned and said, "This can't go on. Daoist, could you make some arrangements?"
There are too many people, what if an accident happens? Besides, we don't know what this thing on Ayin is. This place is special, and it would be difficult to deal with if she were to do something like some kind of religious thing.
The Taoist priests understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately led the way, saying, "Please follow me."
Looking at the golden light around her, Gu Yin pondered as she walked, "Is it the Heavenly Dao?"
Nothing happened.
"001, what is this? Do you know?"
001 said helplessly, "It's the way of Heaven."
Gu Yin: "...Heavenly Dao, why didn't you respond when I called you?"
"Shut up, I'm absorbing faith power!"
A soft yet ethereal voice echoed in Gu Yin's mind.
Gu Yin was surprised. This was still a child! No wonder he was so unpredictable.
"Please come in, gentlemen. The abbot will be here shortly."
Gu Yin and the other two nodded.
After they sat down, the Taoist priests all went outside and waited at the door, mainly out of curiosity! This was a phenomenon that even the Taoist priests themselves, let alone the worshippers, had never seen before!
After the three sat down, the old lady looked at the band of light on Gu Yin's body and asked curiously, "Why isn't it moving around on you? Do you know what this is?"
She knew that her granddaughter-in-law had some unusual opportunities; she knew about it when her grandson was struck by lightning.
Gu Yin nodded: "I know, it's a good thing." Then she pointed to the sky.
The old lady and the old man understood, and became a little reserved.
"Heavenly Dao, could you please go and wander around my grandparents a few times? Let them experience your wonders too!"
The light paused for a moment, then immediately flew to the old woman and bounced a few times on her head.
The old lady was a little panicked but also a little surprised: "How, how did it get on me?"
Gu smiled but remained silent.
The light band flew to the old man again, seemingly circling around once more, before returning to Gu Yin.
"I've been copying scriptures all day, and this light just floated by so gently! All the soreness and fatigue are gone! It's amazing!" The old lady rubbed her wrist, which had been a little sore, but now she felt nothing at all! She was overjoyed!
The old man moved his neck: "It really doesn't hurt anymore."
The two were so excited that they were restless, and their devotion grew stronger.
"Of course! Who told me to be the Heavenly Dao! It's your blessing to be touched by me!" Sensing the faith emanating from the two, the Heavenly Dao flew over again.
Gu Yangmei: "You like my grandparents?"
Tiandao returned and shook his head: "It's because they have more faith. They are people with merit, and their faith is different from that of ordinary people. Just like you, you are full of merit, so I would definitely like to stay with you."
Gu Yin: "...That's true."
"Guanzhu."
A sound came from outside the door, and Gu Yin turned her head to look.
