The two walked to the tea table next to the desk in the study and sat down. The maid quickly brought them snacks and tea.
Murong Zhi took out a wooden box from his bosom, which exuded an ancient and rustic feel.
Murong Yu asked in confusion, "Brother, what is this?"
Murong Zhi said, "It was sent by Master Liaochen before, but I didn't see the deeper meaning behind it."
Murong Yu: "What is it?"
Murong Zhi: "You'll know once you open it and see for yourself."
Murong Yu reached out and opened the box. A refreshing aroma wafted out. Murong Yu said, "This is... It looks like Bodhi lotus seeds."
“But aren’t Bodhi seeds supposed to be green or red? This one is golden yellow and twice the size of a regular Bodhi seed.”
Murong Yu seemed to have realized something and exclaimed in shock, "Could this... this be the legendary Bodhi Sacred Lotus seed? Isn't that just a legend? Does it really exist?"
Murong Zhi: "I guess that's it."
Murong Yu: "It is said that the Bodhi Sacred Lotus Seed recognizes its destined owner. What is the meaning of Master Liaochen giving it to you?"
Murong Zhi said helplessly, "I don't know either."
Murong Yu hesitated before asking, "Lotus seed, nianzi, could it be a sign of offspring?"
Murong Zhi: "Don't talk nonsense."
Murong Yu: "I'm just guessing, I can't guess it anyway."
As the two were talking, An Yi led Mu Qing in.
Murong Yu: "Aqing, come sit here."
His calling out "Ah Qing" stunned all three people in the room.
An Yi left, closing the door behind him.
Mu Qing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to Murong Yu, saying, "Greetings, Your Highnesses."
Murong Zhi did not recognize Mu Qing, but his smile remained unchanged as he cast a questioning glance at Murong Yu.
Seeing the look his brother was giving him, Murong Yu realized he hadn't mentioned Mu Qing to his brother yet.
Just as he was about to speak, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and the faint fragrance of lotus flowers wafted over, mixed with the fresh scent of herbs and trees emanating from Mu Qing beside him. Murong Yu's words caught in his throat.
Turning around, I saw Mu Qing completely enveloped in golden light, surrounded by an indescribable charm, like a cloud in the sky, ethereal and elusive.
Layers of auspicious red clouds appeared in the sky above the entire country. When the people saw this, they knelt down and kowtowed in prayer. The emperor and his concubines in the palace were also shocked by this strange phenomenon.
Royal Palace
The Emperor said, "Guards, summon the Imperial Observatory to the palace for an audience."
The head eunuch: "Yes."
At the same time, Master Liaochen, who was meditating at Tianfo Temple in Anshan, opened his eyes as if sensing something.
Master Liaochen stood up and said, "Wuwang, let's go to the Merit Pool."
Wu Wang: "Yes, Uncle-Master."
When Master Liaochen and Wuwang arrived at the Merit Pond, the abbot and all the monks in the temple had already arrived.
Sitting in front of the merit pool were the abbot and other monks reciting scriptures, while kneeling people prayed for blessings behind them.
Almost instantly, all the lotus flowers in the Merit Pond bloomed. In the central area of the Merit Pond, the sacred lotus also slowly grew, and in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it was in full bloom.
The golden petals seemed to glow in the sunlight. The people kneeling before the merit pool were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless. After they came to their senses, they all knelt down again.
Suddenly, an old man's voice rang out from the crowd: "I know! It's the Holy Son! The Holy Son must have appeared in the world! Hahaha..."
The old man's laughter was filled with anticipation, a lump in his throat, and a longing for the future.
