Chapter 983

Putuo Mountain is the closest and most famous holy land for worshiping Buddha to Suhua. It is located on a small island among 1390 islands in Zhoushan Archipelago. It is one of the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism. It is known as "sea heaven Buddha kingdom" and "South China Sea Holy Land".

Early in the morning, Meng Huo accompanied Li Qin to Mount Putuo, with Shen Jie's two daughters and a dozen bodyguards in black.

"The bodyguards are too ostentatious. Forget it." When he left the Meng family, Meng Huo wanted to turn down the bodyguards, but the old lady insisted. Finally, he couldn't get rid of them and brought them here.

They only ate some steamed bread on the road, and it was not eight o'clock in the morning when they arrived at Putuo Mountain. However, when they arrived at this famous mountain, Meng Huo understood why the old lady insisted that the bodyguards follow them - because there were so many people.

From the dock just landed, at a glance, there are dense figures, like ants, stretching to the mountain.

"It's a holy land of Buddhism, full of people..." Meng Huo was stunned. It wasn't eight o'clock in the morning. When did these people come? Could it be that there were many people here in the middle of last night, waiting for the dawn to worship Buddha?

"It's no surprise that there is a trend of Buddha worship every new year." Alice was not surprised at all. She said flatly, "this is the Taoist temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it's the most popular among the popular. We should be prepared to squeeze here for a day."

Putuo Mountain is said to be the enlightenment place of Guanyin Bodhisattva. There are many famous temples on the mountain, and the landscape is as high as dozens. However, even if you don't visit the scenic spot, the worshipers will not miss any temples. Looking at the crowd in front of you, Alice thinks that half a day can't complete the task at all.

"Young master, we can arrange a shortcut." At this time, Meng Huo side of a bodyguard suddenly said.

Meng Huo turned his head in surprise: "is that ok?"

"No problem, madam has already explained. If necessary, we can inform the management here." The bodyguard nodded: "ordinary artists and stars will also arrange shortcuts. Even if they don't use your name, Miss Shen Jie can also enjoy this treatment."

"Then..." Meng Huo was about to agree, but Li Qin interrupted.

"No!" The mother glared at Meng Huo: "we need to be sincere in worshiping Buddha. We don't take a shortcut."

Meng Huo's face suddenly collapsed. He didn't want to squeeze steamed stuffed buns here at all - but he couldn't listen to Li Qin's words. Seeing his mother walking up the mountain, Meng Huo and others had to follow him.

Shen Jie and Meng Huo have done some dressing up. What's more surprising is that Alice, with black hair, although she has a prominent figure, no one will associate her with the female president of Phoenix company.

"How did you do it?"

Shen Jie and Li Qin are walking in front, Meng Huo and Alice are walking behind them, and the bodyguards are around them. He looked at Alice's hair curiously, and knew that it was not dyed, because Alice had never left the Meng family since yesterday, nor had she heard of any barber shop in the Meng family.

"Do you mean this?" Alice brushed her black hair and said with a smile, "it's a wig."

"Wigs?" Meng Huo is even more strange. He looks at Alice's head, but he doesn't think it's too big. Since this black hair is a wig, where is her long golden hair?

"You cut your hair?"

"Can't you?" Alice turned to look at him and said with a smile, "have you never seen me with short hair? I'll show you in the evening. Maybe you'll like it better

Meng Huo felt a little sorry. He didn't expect Alice to cut her hair. But in fact, he always liked her beautiful long golden hair. When he heard that she had cut her short hair, he was disappointed.

Alice giggled. "You look so obvious."

"Don't worry, I didn't have a haircut." She continued, pointing under her black hair: "my hair is hidden in it!"

Meng Huo was a little suspicious: "really?"

"It's true, of course." Alice nodded. Although her appearance didn't change much, she did hide her hair. In fact, it's not difficult to do. Many actors use this kind of dressing technique. Monks in TV series don't really shave their heads, but the audience can't see it.

If you have hair, you can dress up as a monk perfectly. It's very easy to wear a wig to hide your identity. Now the cross dressing skills have become very mature.

"Aunt Qin, where are we going first?" At this time, Shen Jie asked Li Qin.

"Let me see..."This is also the first time that Li Qin has come here, but she has made sufficient preparations. She has not only brought maps and sightseeing brochures, but also some things that look like notes. Meng Huo saw that she opened a note and went over to have a look. She found that it described the route of the visit in a very simple way, and the primary school students could not go wrong.

"This is teacher Huameng's note?" Meng Huo remembers the handwriting.

"Well, I heard that after we came to Suhua for the new year, she introduced us to worship Buddha here." Li Qin explains that Huameng once visited Putuo Mountain during the carnival to pay homage to her children, which is said to be effective.

Of course, Meng Huo didn't believe that this kind of Buddha worship was of any use. He didn't believe in Buddhism. As a person who passed through reincarnation, he had a certain respect for the Buddha God. But these so-called famous mountains and holy places are now profit-making organizations. Do tourists really use their money to worship Buddha?

He remained skeptical and felt that worshiping Buddha was just people's self hypnosis.

"Let's go to Puji temple first."

Li Qin has found the target and takes Shen Jie there.

Puji temple, also known as Qiansi temple, is located in the south of Baihua Mountain and under lingjiu peak. It is the main temple dedicated to Guanyin. There are 357 halls, halls, halls and pavilions in the temple. Dayuantong hall is the main hall of the temple, known as "living hall", which worships the 8.8-meter-high Pilu Guanyin.

Meng Huo and his party bought tickets at the gate of the temple and then went in line. The process of Buddha worship here is different from what he imagined. Meng Huo's impression of Buddha worship should be kowtowing to Buddha statues, drawing lots, expressing his wishes and so on - but here, there is no need to pray, as long as the family name is published.

Li Qin reported a Meng family, and Shen Jie also reported her family. When it was Alice's turn, she refused.

"I'll give up. I'd better go to other places earlier." Alice said, this is the first temple, but Shen Jie's process is over ten in the morning.

Li Qin is a little curious: "don't you help your family to say goodbye?"

"I don't believe that much." Alice shook her head. "It's better to ask for yourself than for others. Our family is always so safe."

Meng Huo was startled by her reply. He turned his head and looked at Li Qin, thinking that she would be angry. But he didn't expect that after listening to Alice's words, Li Qin seemed to be particularly Tolerant: "well, I have my own opinion. If I don't do it, I won't do it."

After living in a big city for several years, Li Qin's concept has changed a lot. Besides, she is not a Buddhist, so she thinks that Alice's character is good. But in this way, Li Qin felt that it was a pain for her to take Alice with her. Since people didn't want to worship Buddha, why should she follow her?

After leaving Puji temple, Li Qin said to Meng Huo, "forget it. You and Alice go back first. Shen Jie and I are here."

Meng Huo was stunned: "is that ok?"

"Are you bored anyway?" Li Qin said with a smile that she could see through what Meng Huo was thinking at a glance: "it's OK for the Buddhists to come here. I'll help you and your grandmother to sign. You don't have to wait for me."

Meng Huo looked at Shen Jie and Shen Jie nodded: "I also want to ask my parents for a visa. I will guarantee aunt Qin's safety."

With the promise of a girl who might be more powerful than a tiger, Meng Huo naturally let go. He left his bodyguards to both of them, then walked down the mountain with Alice and returned to Suhua city ahead of time.

"Are we going straight back to Meng's house?" Asked Alice.

"No, I want to go to the big bookstore." Meng Huo shakes his head and has nothing to do when he comes back to Meng's home. It's better to go to the bookstore, where there are new books on sale.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Phoenix company did not carry out any major activities, but two adapted novels related to Meng Huo were published by Longteng company and officially sold in bookstores in major cities the day before New Year's Eve. Meng Huo has not read those two books so far.

"And I'm just looking for some papers." Meng Huo added that there was a bottleneck in his paper, so he could go to the bookstore to buy some materials.

"Well, you're writing the paper!" Alice thought of Meng Huo's holiday activities. He put aside his work and comics for the time being, but every night he still took time to write his thesis. Now he has finished one. It can be seen that Meng Huo wants to finish all his papers as soon as possible and liberate himself from his studies.

The nearest big bookstore is less than 10 minutes away from them. It's a comprehensive book city, all called Baiya book city. It looks like a commercial square.

"..." Alice, who had just got off the bus, looked at the wall screen outside the square and was stunned. Meng Huo walked a few steps and found that she didn't follow. So she turned back and asked, "what's the matter?""I was thinking..." Alice looked back and said to Meng Huo, "you won't make the world quiet even if it's a holiday."

On the wall outside Baya bookstore, numerous small screens are integrated into large screens, on which the most popular book advertisements are flashing. The images of book covers in different colors and styles are rolling on the screen, giving people a gorgeous feeling.

However, these advertisements are changing, but they all have one thing in common, that is, the original name in the upper left corner of the cover - He Xi.

"I thought you just published two books." Alice grinned bitterly.

"I only published two." Meng Huo nodded: "Shina with burning eyes and claannad."

"But your clannad is not a book at all, OK?" Alice pointed to the screen and said, "one, two, three... There are more than a dozen covers of" clannad ". This is a work, but not a novel. Each character line is published separately. The heroines have one cover for each person. As a result, there are more than a dozen books!

More than a dozen books have been published together. Is Meng Huo going to want other writers to survive?

"It's not up to me." Meng Huo sighed. He didn't want to do so much at first. As a result, Longteng company felt that it was better to publish separately than to put all the branches together. Meng Huo only agreed.

"You sell well even if you get a bargain. Look at this advertisement... Your books must be very popular..." Alice grabs Meng Huo and goes to the bookstore. "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

However, the scene in the bookstore is even more amazing. Advertisements for "clannad" can be seen everywhere in the aisles and escalators. Many passers-by who pass by Alice are still holding the image flags of different characters in "clannad".

"Excuse me, what's this? Where did it come from? " Alice stopped a girl and asked.

"The souvenir of clannad, it's over there." The girl pointed to the direction with a smile and said, "it's still in the activity period. As long as you buy teacher He Xi's novel, you will give a corresponding flag."

She took a few novels out of her bag and said, "I bought three different ones, so it's three flags."

Alice said thanks. It turned out that the bookstore was doing something. From the advertisements outside and the activities inside the bookstore, she has been able to be 100% sure that Meng Huo's novels must be very popular, very popular.

She quickened her pace, and then found the place where the novel was on sale - the central bookstore of Baya bookstore, where hundreds of people were waiting in line to pay the bill when they arrived.

All these people are holding "clannad" and "burning eyes of Shanna", and there are few other books.

"What did you do?" Alice asked Meng Huo.

Meng Huo is not sure, so: "what what what."

"..." Alice didn't know how to answer, but she didn't think it was right. The novel had been on sale for several days, and the atmosphere in the bookstore was still so strong. It didn't seem like the popularity of ordinary novels - it was far more than the Phoenix company had predicted for he Xi's novels.

"There must be something fishy about these novels."

Alice was itching in her heart, but instead of asking Meng Huo, she decided to solve the puzzle by herself.

Soon she found the most conspicuous novels in the book city, which were arranged in a row and looked very beautiful. Alice picks up the branch line novel "clannad", which is called "happiness everywhere". The heroine of this book is Shimei yisete, and "happiness everywhere" refers to the name of her Guangyu.

After turning a few pages, Alice immediately found what she wanted——

No wonder the popularity of these novels will be so high after a few days. They are different from other novels at all
