Before Li Xia walked out of the Lotus Temple, he took the opportunity to chat with the Sweeping Monk and found out the village that Lechen had gone to.
Ruyan only heard that the male protagonist of the world was sent to the foot of the mountain by the abbot to chant scriptures and pray for the villagers there.
However, she didn't know the exact name of the village.
Li Xia had no choice but to take action himself.
With just a few words, he found out the destination of Lachen from the mouth of the young monk who was sweeping the floor and had little experience in the world.
On the way down the mountain, for safety reasons, Li Xia would rather spend more time taking the main road than choose a less traveled path.
Lianhua Temple was the national temple of Qi State.
There are many pilgrims who come to the mountain to worship Buddha devoutly.
Li Xia was dressed simply, and the cloak she wore concealed her graceful figure.
She had a cloak on her head and a veil on her face.
On this busy downhill road, in broad daylight, she was hidden in the crowd and inconspicuous.
And this is exactly what Li Xia wants.
In today's world, it is a blessing for a woman to be inconspicuous.
Got down the mountain.
There is a wooden sign indicating the direction at the foot of the mountain.
Li Xia headed east.
On the way she met an old woman.
The old woman was old and had difficulty moving. When she almost fell, Li Xia reached out and helped her up.
I found out after the conversation.
The place they were going to was the same village.
Seeing that she had a kind face and had been taught to respect the elderly and love the young, Li Xia slowed down her pace and walked with the old woman.
It would be convenient for her to take care of her on the way.
The old woman's tattered clothes were full of patches, but the basket she was carrying was filled with fresh vegetables covered with autumn frost.
Although she is poor.
But the contented smile on her face is enough to prove that the old woman is rich in spirit.
"Grandma, you live so far away, why do you have to carry such heavy things and walk to the village in the east?"
Li Xia originally offered to carry the old woman's basket, but she refused.
The old woman told Li Xia that although the vegetables in her basket were not valuable, they were all grown by her own hands and represented her love.
She wanted to personally donate the money to the monk who came down the mountain from Lianhua Temple to chant sutras.
It is also her devotion to Buddha.
"I am old and useless, and my legs are not strong enough to climb so high. I walked to the Lotus Temple to worship the Buddha. I heard that the abbot arranged for the monks of the temple to come down the mountain to preach in the village to the east. When I heard that, I got up at dawn."
The old woman explained to Lixia.
She has faith in her heart, and she doesn't feel tired even though her legs and feet are inconvenient.
Li Xia could also understand the old woman's thoughts.
People live with a belief.
The ancients believed in gods and Buddhas. Even if their lives were poor, as long as they were safe and healthy, they would be satisfied.
Even if they were hungry, they would try their best to take out the best and freshest food at home to offer to the Bodhisattvas in the temple.
Pray for the Buddha’s blessing.
May those they care about have a smooth, peaceful and happy life.
"Little girl, are you traveling across mountains and rivers to that village to find your ideal husband?" The old woman asked Li Xia jokingly to relieve the boredom of the journey.
Li Xia was actually asked this question.
My ideal husband...
Chen's cold and handsome face appeared in her mind.
He is like a banished immortal.
If it weren't for the mission, she would never have dared to provoke such a person.
Since the day the system was bound.
Li Xia never thought that she could meet her ideal husband.
What is taken by scheming and means loses its purity from the beginning.
The knowledge she had learned had long told her that you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Her original intention of binding to the fertility system was to prolong her life and revive.
She just needs to do her job seriously.
Even if I fail in the end, the extra time I live will be worth it.
She never fantasizes about unrealistic dreams.
Do what you can and do your best.
This is the principle that Lixia has always adhered to.
The old woman saw Li Xia lowered her eyes and thought that she had mentioned her sad story. She quickly said, "Little girl, I am just asking casually. Don't take it seriously. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
She tried her best to comfort Li Xia.
The old woman was a little annoyed.
I have lived to a ripe old age, but half of my body is now buried in the ground.
He can't even speak.
I am really ashamed.
I hope the little girl isn't upset because of her stupid old mouth.
If that were the case, it would be her fault.
Then all the merits she had accumulated from eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures throughout her life would be useless.
Li Xia shook her head. "No, grandma, it's not your fault. I was just thinking about something."
She was afraid that the old woman would feel psychologically burdened, so she started to explain.
"Grandma, don't look down on me because I'm young. I also like to listen to Buddhist teachings. It's not easy for the master of Lianhua Temple to come down the mountain. I can't miss the master's chanting."
With just a few words, Li Xia packaged herself as a lover of Buddhism.
This explanation to others is also acceptable.
Li Xia took the old woman with him who had difficulty walking, and the two of them walked slowly. It took them almost an hour to reach the village.
When they arrived.
A platform was built in the most open space in the village.
I think it was prepared by the villagers for this chanting.
The old woman went to look for her old sister.
According to her, they were close friends before they got married.
After getting married, I had to worry about raising children, daily necessities at home, and the distance between the two villages.
The two elderly people haven't seen each other for a long time.
After the old woman left, Li Xia found an inconspicuous place and hid in the crowd.
"Amitabha."
Liaochen was still wearing the white monk's robe that was not stained by dust.
He just stood there.
It was as if an invisible spotlight was shining on him, making it impossible to look away.
Li Xia was not as bewitched as usual.
Liaochen felt a familiar gaze. He looked towards the dark crowd and found nothing unusual.
Li Xia had already squatted down before he noticed.
Only when Lechen's eyes moved away did she pat her chest with relief.
"It was a close call. We were almost discovered." Li Xia muttered softly.
She had no intention of ruining Chen's words.
After the episode.
The chanting of scriptures officially began.
Liaochen clasped his hands together, closed his cold narrow eyes, and opened his thin lips slightly: "When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajna Paramita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and transcended all suffering.
Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true of feeling, perception, mental formation and consciousness..."
His voice was very faint, but every word penetrated Li Xia's eardrums clearly.
Li Xia stared at Lechen on the stage intently.
He is indeed a son of Buddha.
When he was chanting, it seemed that Buddha's light was really flashing on his bald head.
"Host, there will be a heavy rainstorm after noon until tomorrow morning."
When Li Xia was listening intently, the cold electronic sound of the system broke into her ears.
"It seems that God is helping us, System. When this rain comes, I will definitely take down the male protagonist of the world."
