"Master Xuan was giving a lecture in the Taihe Hall this morning. I'm so lucky today that I actually met Master Xuan!"
When a commoner heard the news, he cried out in excitement. He had begged on his knees for several days but had never met Master Xuan. He never expected that he would meet the Master reciting sutras today.
"Really? Let's go, hurry up, or Master Xuan will leave again."
"Yes, yes, yes, go quickly, the person who just came out said that Master Xuan said that he would find someone with a predestined relationship to send blessings today, and I hope that person is me!"
When the people around heard this, they could no longer sit still and walked towards the Taidong Palace. Even those who were begging on their knees did not bother to kneel anymore and quickly stood up and followed the team.
Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen looked at each other, and Li Xiaochen whispered to the two people behind him:
"Take a look around and see if anything seems amiss."
"yes!"
Wang Yu and Lie Yan saluted and then quietly walked towards the other side.
Li Xiaochen brought Lin Yuxin to catch up with the main force. They wanted to see who this Master Xuan was!
When the two arrived at the Taihe Hall, it was filled with people kneeling and the sound of chanting scriptures could be heard from inside, sounding solemn and sacred.
Hundreds of people knelt on the ground, listening devoutly. Even outside the temple, people were kneeling. Lin Yuxin narrowed her eyes slightly. With this kind of appeal, it was almost like a pyramid scheme! !
Because there were too many people and we arrived a little late, we could only stand outside the temple. After everyone arrived, they all knelt down, leaving only the two of us standing there awkwardly.
The people were also praying devoutly, but no one paid any attention to them.
Lin Yuxin looked through the crowd towards the hall, and could only see from a distance a monk wearing a white Taoist robe and a golden cassock on his shoulders in the innermost part of the hall. However, since she couldn't see his appearance, Lin Yuxin couldn't make any comment.
After Lin Yuxin gave Li Xiaochen a look, she knelt down and began to close her eyes devoutly... to rest!
Li Xiaochen didn't believe in these gods and Buddhas at first, but ever since he met Xinxin, the miraculous things that happened to Xinxin made him believe in them, and he immediately knelt down to accompany her.
The chanting lasted for two hours before it ended. Lin Yuxin's legs were numb. After she had been kneeling for a quarter of an hour, she took a cushion and put it under her butt, and sat down directly with Li Xiaochen.
Bodhisattva, it's not that I'm not sincere! It's just that kneeling is too painful! I hope Bodhisattva won't blame me and my wife!
She usually wouldn't seek punishment for herself, so after she apologized to the Bodhisattva and Buddha, she has been sitting here until now.
"Dear donors, today's recitation of scriptures has come to an end. I will ask my disciples to find a predestined person to complete the Buddha's donation today! Please go back!"
A gentle and humble voice came from the hall, but no one was seen.
"It looks like there's no one around. Should we go somewhere else?"
Seeing so many people unwilling to leave, Lin Yuxin felt that if she wanted to see Master Xuan today, she would have to find another way!
Li Xiaochen nodded, then pulled Lin Yuxin and walked in that direction.
Fuqing Temple consists of three halls. The Tai Hall is the main hall, and there are three halls on both sides of it, which are dedicated to Manjusri Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Tibetan Bodhisattva.
The trees on the top of the mountain are not very dense, but the temple is built magnificently, and it does not look like a secular temple at all.
"It looks like this temple is quite wealthy!"
Lin Yuxin's eyes lit up when she looked at the golden Maitreya Buddha. Of all the Buddhas here, only this one was made of gold, and the others were all luxuriously built in the main hall.
"There might be something wrong with this Maitreya Bodhisattva!"
Li Xiaochen looked at the Maitreya Bodhisattva with a serious face. Even though there were many people coming here to worship Buddha, Li Xiaochen still noticed that something was wrong.
Lin Yuxin raised her eyebrows and looked at the big Buddha. Indeed, most golden statues would first be of Manjusri or Guanyin, because they both protect safety and pray for success, and they would also bring many more benefits to the people.
Although Maitreya Bodhisattva can only symbolize some compassion, tolerance, optimism and open-mindedness, praying for a peaceful state of mind.
But it was this Master Xuan who converted the Bodhisattva Maitreya into a golden body, and this alone was not right.
"There are too many people now. We can only check it out at night!"
Lin Yuxin looked at these endless stream of people bowing to Maitreya Bodhisattva, and I felt helpless.
You have to be sincere when you worship the Bodhisattva. Is there something wrong with this temple? Is the Bodhisattva you worship useful?
The two of them followed local customs and bowed to the Bodhisattva one by one. No matter what, they couldn't offend the Bodhisattva, right?
As for what happens in the future, let's talk about it later. If you really want to find out there is a problem, at least you should use courtesy before force! The Bodhisattva will not blame you, right?
The two of them finished walking around and were about to meet up with Lie Yan and the others, but unexpectedly a young monk walked up to them and saluted respectfully:
"Please wait for a moment, both donors. Our host is waiting for you!"
Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen looked at each other, then smiled and said:
"Excuse me, little monk, why did the host come to see us?"
"The host only said that the female donor is the destined person for today."
Xiao Shang said respectfully with a smile on his face.
"Then let the troublesome little monk lead the way!"
Lin Yuxin raised the corners of her lips, her smile got bigger, she nodded and said.
Since Master Xuan has taken the initiative to find her, she will go and meet him!
"Please come this way, benefactor!"
The little monk stepped aside, gestured for them to come in, and then turned and walked toward the back of the temple.
He tugged at Li Xiaochen's sleeve and followed him.
There was a flash of worry in Li Xiaochen's eyes, but he followed calmly.
The three of them stopped at the gate of a simple small courtyard. Xiao Shang turned to Lin Yuxin and said:
"The host only invites female donors to come in, male donors please stay!"
When Li Xiaochen heard this, his face turned cold and he held Lin Yuxin's hand tightly.
"Then I won't go! It doesn't matter if the destined person doesn't want to do it!"
Li Xiaochen spoke in a cold voice, then pulled Lin Yuxin and prepared to leave.
"Achen!"
Lin Yuxin held Li Xiaochen and wouldn't let 놛 leave. She looked at 놛 with soothing eyes, then shook her head at her, implying that she would be fine!
Li Xiaochen still didn't let go of her hand, and stared at Lin Yuxin tightly. He knew what this girl was thinking. She wanted to take risks alone again! No!!
Li Xiaochen insisted, Lin Yuxin had no choice but to say to Xiao Shang:
"Look, little monk, my husband is reluctant to leave me for so long, why don't you go in and ask the host?"
Xiao 놌 hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Donor, wait a moment!"
Xiao Shang walked in after he finished speaking, and came back a few moments later. He gestured to Lin Yuxin and said:
"Please come in, two donors!"
Lin Yuxin smiled and thanked:
"I'm tired of Xiao Shang!"
Lin Yuxin said this and pulled Li Xiaochen in.
As a result, as soon as the two of them walked in, the gate of the courtyard was closed.
Li Xiaochen looked at the surroundings vigilantly, protecting Lin Yuxin behind him with one hand.
