At that time, Fo'an Temple.
"Oh, child, I'm sorry for you. Back then, our family was poor, and I wasn't in good health. I simply didn't have the milk to feed you. I was afraid you'd starve to death right after you were born, so I had no choice but to come up with the idea of sending you to Fo'an Temple with your father!"
Mrs. Gu, who had traveled day and night to reach the Fo'an Temple, fell to the ground as soon as she arrived, crying and sobbing, expressing her sorrow.
"My child, it's my fault. I'm useless. I'm a loser. I can't even feed a newborn. I had no choice but to send you to the Fogan Temple to survive. This has separated us from our flesh and blood for twenty years!"
Mr. Gu has mastered the art of acting. In the past, when he was caught by Madam Gu in a brothel, he often acted with her and used all kinds of sweet words to deceive her.
Now he was kneeling on the ground crying hysterically. If you didn’t know, you would think someone had died in his family!
When the pilgrims who came to the Fo'an Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha heard the noise, they all gathered around Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, whispering to them who were crying on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the disciples of Fo'an Temple hurried to support Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
"Please stand up first, both donors. We can talk slowly."
Master Gu grabbed the monk's hand and begged with red eyes, "Little Master, please, please have mercy and let me see my son!"
"Donor, donator, please stand up and speak first."
The monk who was caught by Master Gu frowned and kept trying to persuade him.
"Everyone says that Master Jingkong, the abbot of Fo'an Temple, is highly respected and compassionate. I believe that the disciples of Fo'an Temple are also kind people. Please, let us see my son. I beg you!"
Mr. Gu held the monk's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face and snot running down his face. It was heartbreaking to watch.
"What happened? Is this master's child in Fo'an Temple?"
"Pity the love of parents in the world. Let's let the family meet!"
"Yes, being separated from one's own flesh and blood for twenty years is such a cruel thing!"
The pilgrims who came to the Fo'an Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha were talking to each other, and they were all moved by the miserable cry of Master Gu.
Seeing that public opinion was on their side, Mr. and Mrs. Gu cried even harder. The pilgrims who were parents present urged the monks to call their children out as soon as possible so that the family could meet.
Several monks looked at each other and whispered, "Didn't Huien go to Luoxia Peak? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Another monk frowned and said, "He should be back soon. Wait a little longer."
Mr. and Mrs. Gu threw the child in front of the gate of Fo'an Temple as soon as he was born. He was never given a name and had no token of love on him.
Based on their description, the monks guessed that the person they were looking for was Junior Brother Liaochen.
Twenty years ago, on a snowy day, a baby in swaddling clothes.
The three clues all point to Lechen.
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu pricked up their ears to hear the conversation between the monks. They secretly exchanged glances and spoke more earnestly about the hardships and difficulties they had experienced over the years.
As Liaochen and the little monk walked to the back door of Fo'an Temple, they heard the crying of the two people. When Liaochen was about to step over the threshold and arrive at Fo'an Temple, he stopped.
The little monk also stopped and looked up at Lechen while holding his hand.
"Brother Liaochen, will you follow them out of Foyan Temple?"
When asked, Lechen didn't hesitate at all and said calmly, "No."
When the little monk heard this, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes. That’s great, Senior Brother Lechen will not leave them!
Lechen calmed down a little, then walked over the threshold in front of him and came to the temple with the little monk.
"Junior Brother Liaochen is here!"
One of the monks caught a glimpse of two figures, one big and one small, and quickly turned his head to look. Sure enough, he saw Chen and the little monk walking towards him from the side.
The monks hurried over to Lechen and roughly explained the situation to him.
"Junior brother, if you don't want to talk to them anymore, I'll find a way to send them away right now."
An older senior brother looked at Lechen with a serious expression. As long as Lechen nodded, he would find a way to send the people away and would never let his junior brother bear this alone.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will explain it to them myself."
Lechen bowed slightly to his senior brother, then walked towards Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu who were slumped in front of the Buddhist hall.
After seeing Chen's figure, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu widened their eyes and even forgot to cry.
The other pilgrims also stood there in a daze, staring at Lechen.
Liaochen has a connection with Buddhism. He can be said to be a disciple of Master Jingkong with extremely high comprehension. He often follows Master Jingkong around, and pilgrims all recognize him.
But I didn’t expect that Master Lechen was the flesh and blood that the couple mentioned who had been separated for many years!
For a moment, the pilgrims didn't know whether to sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Gu who had been separated from their family for so many years, or to sympathize with Master Lechen who was abandoned in front of the gate of Fo'an Temple just after he was born and had not even opened his eyes to see what his parents looked like.
The pilgrims who were originally talking to each other now shut up, wanting to see how Lechen would handle the matter.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lechen walked straight to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu and looked down at them.
"What do you two benefactors want from me?"
"Donor?"
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu came back to their senses at this moment, staring at Lechen in front of them with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Child, I, we are your parents!"
Mr. Gu slapped his chest with both hands and hurriedly explained to Chen.
