Chapter 46

Shangfo temple is located on the high mountain of Hejian county. From the foot of the mountain to the temple, there are 999 layers of green brick steps, winding all the way to the top of the mountain. On the way, there were pilgrims in twos and threes who came to pay homage, holding a bamboo basket and placing incense and candles in it.

Jiang Pengji doesn't believe in god Buddha, but she has to admit that the scenery from the foot of the Buddhist temple to the top of the mountain is full of Zen.

The stream is gurgling and the ancient trees are towering. You can vaguely hear the melodious bell and the peaceful sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures in the distance.

The sky turns from dark to bright, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in a red morning glow, accompanied by a calming Buddha sound to welcome the arrival of a new day. Even Jiang Pengji, who disdains the Buddha, feels a lot more open-minded at this time.

The sound of clogs falling on the stone bricks was clattering, step by step, with a leisurely charm.

Liu she was wearing a brand-new dark blue robe, which was much more suitable than yesterday's clothes, and also set off his weight loss now.

His black hair was carefully sparse, his face was clean and refreshing, his fingernails and toenails were carefully repaired, his body was still wearing a little sandalwood, and his face was always solemn and solemn. It can be seen that he attached great importance to this vow.

Jiang Pengji carried a food box with incense, candles, lamp oil, gold paper and fruit for sacrifice prepared by the housekeeper. Of course, she secretly weighed the weight of the box. The weight was inconsistent with the real object, and there might be real money in it.

"When your two brothers died of serious illness, Amin worshipped step by step and climbed up to the Buddhist temple, imploring the Buddha to show mercy..."

Although she maintained a leisurely pace and breathing rate, Liu she was not strong. She had just climbed a third of her body, and her forehead was sweating. I drank medicine yesterday. Although my fever had subsided in the middle of the night, my body was still a little empty. At this time, even my lips were bloodless.

"Didn't my father say that if my mother is in poor health, why should she come? What's the use of asking God to worship the Buddha without seeking medical advice because she is seriously ill?" Jiang Pengji doesn't understand. According to her guess, the cheap mother doesn't look like a person who can believe in God and Buddha.

"Yes, illness is a doctor's job. What's the use of praying for God to worship Buddha? If god Buddha is useful, how can your two legitimate brothers die prematurely? Amin also scoffs at god Buddha, but... Sometimes there is no way out, let alone God Buddha. Even a god stick can become a straw to save the people. I hope I can hold it in my hand." Liu she sighed as she walked, as if she were remembering something.

One step at a time, he failed to save the child's life after all. Successive blows cost his wife half his life. Why didn't he die?

I can't persuade her. What else can I do except being silly with her?

I just hate that I'm not a doctor. I can't cure my disease and save my life.

"Fortunately, you are still alive. I come to repay my wish today. I hope your mother and brother can see it and protect your health and happiness in the future."

Jiang Pengji was silent with a food box. She was not Liu Lanting. "My father had insight into autumn and knew that I was not..."

"Oh, you are Amin's daughter... Don't think about it." Liu she seemed to be in the habit of killing by touching her head. She stepped on two more steps by herself and rubbed her head effortlessly. "If you live well, she can be completely at ease in another world."

Jiang Pengji was puzzled and looked at Liu she's slightly emaciated back with puzzled eyes. She always felt that there was another meaning in his words.

Before dawn, Liu she took Jiang Pengji and the old housekeeper to the Buddhist temple. After a long climb on the mountain steps, people's legs hurt. Finally, when the sun rose, she climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the Buddhist temple hidden in the lush forest.

The temple is surrounded by green books. Layers of fresh and tender flowers and plants surround the slightly faded courtyard wall. The cyan gray Temple ridge shows a bit of young charm in the sun. The green and ancient trees are bathed in the morning light. There are distant and deep bells and birds chirping.

The area of the Buddhist temple is not large, but the age of the temple makes it stand on the mountain like an old man, watching the changes of the world day after day.

"The upper Buddhist temple was built before the Sixteen Kingdoms. At that time, the Buddhist temple was prosperous and there were countless temples..." Liu she briefly said the information of the upper Buddhist temple, took Jiang Pengji into the main hall and gave a Buddhist ceremony to a middle-aged monk, "where is master liaochen?"

"Master has been waiting for you in the side hall Zen room. Please come with me, benefactor Liu."

As if it had been expected, the monk in gray monk's clothes returned a salute, with a bit of humility and piety in his eyebrows.

Jiang Pengji was bored to observe her surroundings. At this time, there were many worshippers in the main hall, including men and women, old and young, which added a little vitality to the somewhat gloomy ancient temple. Thinking about it, I heard Liu she calling herself.

After a corridor, Jiang Pengji followed Liu she to the door of a meditation room.

Before she stepped in, she just listened to the conversation between Liu she and an old monk.

"After seven years of absence, benefactor Liu is safe."

Liu she responded in a flat voice, "everything is fine."

"Benefactor Liu still has resentment in his heart. It's hard to be safe."

Jiang Pengji smiled in her heart. The old monk listened to this and felt that she deserved to be beaten.

Liu she took some resentment in her words at this time, "since master liaochen already knows, why do you ask clearly?"

"This, I think, is the daughter of benefactor Liu and benefactor Gu?" When the old monk saw Jiang Pengji enter, he looked up and quickly lowered his head. The speed of the Buddha beads twisted in his hand was faster and faster, "goodness, goodness, the quiet place of Buddhism, why did benefactor come?"

Jiang Pengji felt inexplicable, and a faint coolness rose in her heart, as if something had been seen through, which was very unpleasant.

Because the live broadcast was earlier, it took a while for the audience to come in. Seeing this scene, someone couldn't help sending a barrage.

[non chieftain adventure welcomes you]: the anchor told me that you are wordy, but if you pass through one of the laws, there will be an evil monk!

Jiang Pengji secretly raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't know what the crossing law was, the monk in front of her was really evil.

"Naturally, I followed my father to repay my wish. Otherwise, the master felt that the morning light was so good that he didn't hide from sleeping in the quilt. He climbed the mountain with great effort. What are you doing here?" Jiang Pengji was inexplicable, but she still obeyed good advice and sat down in the futon next to Liu she.

Her words were disrespectful, but the respected old monk did not show any anger, but smiled benevolently.

"Crape myrtle broke the army, and the imperial Qi loomed. However, the killing is too heavy, too much is better than less." The old monk and the old God said, "little benefactor has just stepped into the temple. The weight of blood and Qi has made the Buddha spirit of the temple turbulent. I'm afraid if the stone steps under the temple hadn't sharpened some hostility..."
