Su Yan: "Who gave you this illusion?"
Liao Qingyang said excitedly: "Master, you will believe me after listening to my story."
"Three days ago, my fiancée, our mutual friend and I took advantage of our break to go to a scenic spot."
"Qingyang, are you sure this place doesn't really exist? We've come so far, and there's not even a signpost."
"It should be correct. It's clearly written on the map, and there are travel photos posted by tourists below."
"We only have enough gas in our car to go around one more time. If we still can't find it, we'll go somewhere else."
"When our car drove onto a bridge, a thought came to my mind: the place you are looking for is under the bridge."
"Xiao Le, look at the beautiful scenery under the bridge. Why don't we go down and take a look, and just treat it as a visit."
"Alright."
"When we walked under the bridge, we found a sign hidden by plants that said: Wetland Park."
Liao Qingyang spoke confidently: "It seems my intuition is right. This is the place we are looking for. However, we came too late. It has been abandoned."
"We took some tourist photos next to some iconic buildings, and when I was about to leave, I caught a glimpse of what looked like a Buddha statue standing in the distance."
Liao Qingyang excitedly held his fiancée's hand and said, "Mengqi, look at that cave and see if there's a Buddha statue. Let's go in and make a wish!"
Qiao Mengqi looked carefully in the direction he mentioned: "Qingyang, you must have seen it wrongly. That's just an ordinary cave. There is no Buddha statue there."
"I really didn't see it wrongly. If you still don't believe my eyesight, there's a rope ahead. Just accompany me to take a look."
Qiao Mengqi couldn't resist his coquettishness: "Go and see, go and see."
His friend beside him rejected his proposal: "We are afraid of heights, so we won't join in the fun. Bring your phones with you. If there is any danger, call us immediately."
“Since I couldn’t convince my friends, I took my fiancée with me to explore the Buddha statue I had seen.
The road under the bridge was indeed difficult to walk on. I held my fiancée's hand tightly and felt our relationship warming up again.
We soon arrived at the first cave, where the Four Heavenly Kings were enshrined, and there were some unburned incense sticks on the ground."
"Mengqi, I'm right, right? There must be a statue of a god enshrined in the innermost cave. We two have gone through so much trouble to see him. He will definitely be able to fulfill our wishes."
Liao Qingyang said in a high-pitched voice: "We continued to move forward, and indeed we saw the God I wanted to see."
"It's just that their system is a bit confusing. The one sitting in the main seat is the Buddha, and on both sides are gods wearing Taoist robes. Kneeling at the bottom are a couple covered with red veils."
Qiao Mengqi looked at the bright red veil and was a little scared: "Qingyang, I think this place is a little spooky. The Buddha statue is surrounded by dust, but the veil looks like new. Let's leave quickly!"
Liao Qingyang pointed to the stone tablet that had just been cleaned: "It says above that the two kneeling people were originally a couple from a wealthy family. They were dedicated to doing good, but died at the hands of bandits.
This Buddha statue was built to commemorate them. Their veils are pristine, indicating that the gods are blessing them. Let us also pay our respects quickly."
Looking at her boyfriend's determined eyes, Qiao Mengqi's fear faded a lot, and she knelt on the ground with her boyfriend.
Liao Qingyang took out a piece of toilet paper from his backpack and lit it. "My fellow gods, please forgive my lack of preparation. As long as I can pass the exam in the second half of the year, I will definitely bring more incense to worship you."
Su Yan: "You didn't lift the veil to see if the person receiving the incense was the good person mentioned on the stele?"
"No, you don't know how horrible the environment was at that time. It was dark and gloomy, with a blood-red veil. How could we dare to lift the veil?
Besides, it would be very impolite to rashly lift the veil of a young couple. If the Buddha does not accept our worship, we will lose more than we gain."
"You really have the courage of Schrödinger."
These two are truly bold, even worshipping gods they are unsure of, and they are not afraid of bringing disaster upon themselves.
If it were truly useful, how could a tourist attraction that could bring development to the city be abandoned?
[So the two of them were not chosen by the Buddha, but by an unknown demon.]
Seeing that Su Yan and netizens didn't believe him, Liao Qingyang hurriedly told them about the dream he and his girlfriend had.
"The night I came back, I dreamed of the Buddha in the cave."
The "Buddha" looked at Liao Qingyang with a smile: "Since the scenic area was abandoned, you are the first mortal who is willing to go through many difficulties to worship me. We are very happy with your sincerity and decided to let you and I enjoy the incense together.
When the time comes, you will possess the power of Buddhism, and your life will be like being blessed by God. Even after death, you will be able to stay by my side and become a boy."
Liao Qingyang knelt on the ground excitedly: "Is what you said true? Can I become an immortal in the future? What about my fiancée? Let's kneel down and worship you together."
“Monks do not tell lies. Although your fiancée is not as sincere as you, for your sake, she can enjoy the offerings with you.
If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to experience it for yourself tomorrow night.”
"Thank you, Buddha, thank you, Buddha!"
"The next day, I woke up and saw my girlfriend sitting on the sofa."
Qiao Mengqi said stiffly: "Qingyang, I dreamed of Buddha last night. He said that we can become immortals in the future."
Liao Qingyang was very excited: "I had the same dream. We can experience the feeling of being worshipped by others tonight."
At night, the two were so excited that they couldn't sleep. In order not to affect their time to meet the Buddha, they took a sleeping pill.
In their dreams, a golden light attracted them to the veiled men and women in the cave.
Through the blood-red veils, they saw many people in ancient clothing kneeling before them, constantly chanting "Buddha bless you."
Every time they left someone, they felt that the golden light on their bodies became brighter. In just one night, their originally gray hands had taken on the color of skin.
When they woke up the next day, they felt full of energy. They had a premonition that they would have good luck and indeed they received the notice of being promoted to regular employees.
From that night on, they would accept the kneeling worship of the crowd every night, and the human features of the two kneeling statues became more obvious.
Liao Qingyang: "Master, after listening to my experience, you can believe that my fiancée and I are the lucky ones chosen by the Buddha.
I am very conflicted now. If we accept Buddha’s invitation and become gods, my parents will definitely be very sad to lose me.
But if I don't agree, I will definitely regret it. Please give us some advice."
